Chapter 42: Perform a swan song with life! "Red Ling"!
When the audience heard Jiang Qin's name, a small commotion occurred. It was obvious that she was no longer as unknown as before, and some people still knew her.
Amid the audience's applause and discussion, Jiang Qin walked onto the stage in a delicate and graceful new Chinese dress, with a graceful and classical figure. Half of his long hair was scattered, half of it was wrapped around the back of his head, and two hairpins appeared and faintly appeared.
She has a beautiful face but a cold temperament. What is finally presented to the audience is dazzling beauty and nobility.
As soon as he appeared, it attracted everyone's surprise.
In the audience, many girls showed envious eyes, and even the boy with a female companion was following Jiang Qin intently.
"This posture, this posture, I have been looking at it for thousands of years!"
"It's really charming!! Take a photo and record it now!"
"Is this new Chinese style beautiful to wear?! I've also made a whole set in the past, it looks so good!"
"She is Jiang Qin? Wow, it's really OK~"
"It's worth it today. What kind of show she performed?"
"My wife is so beautiful!!!"
Although some people are still indifferent, overall, the audience's enthusiasm has increased several times higher than before.
Jiang Qin came to the host and stood in the center of the stage.
The host raised the microphone and spoke enthusiastically: "Ms. Jiang, I heard that this song was created by you based on a moving story, right?"
Jiang Qin nodded, "Yes, this is a particularly touching story. I have never forgotten it since I heard it, so I have this song."
In the judges' seat, Peng Qianzhi looked serious and did not laugh, and looked directly at Jiang Qin with bright eyes, as if he wanted to penetrate the vague veil on the other person's body.
He glanced at the lyrics of that song and looked like a story about an actor. It was nothing more than clichés such as love and love, and what else could it be sung with new ideas?
The next second, he raised the microphone without vomiting and said to Jiang Qin: "It is very good to have a touching story, but we are the stage of the Han Culture Festival, with the theme of spreading Chinese culture. Since Miss Jiang chose to sing this song, there must be a deeper reason, right?"
To the audience, these words are clichés that have been copied in advance, but in reality they are not. Peng Qianzhi intentionally raised the height and level, it depends on whether Jiang Qin can handle it.
He looked at the people on the stage leisurely. Doesn’t this girl like to show off and show herself? It’s not enough to just give her a big stage. She has to increase the difficulty as much as possible. If it’s not difficult, it won’t be enough to show her skills.
The host was obviously surprised by Peng Qianzhi's sudden interruption, but the reaction was quite quick. He changed a way and left room for Jiang Qin and asked, "Then Miss Jiang... Look, should you share this story with the audience before singing?"
The audience in the audience was also curious and shouted: "Let's talk about it!"
Jiang Qin no longer kept it a secret. He stretched out his right hand and made a gesture to make everyone quiet, and began to tell the story.
"It is said that during the Republic of China, there was an actor whose name was untestable, and he was the protagonist of this song."
"In that war-torn era, one day, the county town where he grew up was surrounded by Japanese pirates. The leader of this group of Japanese pirates surrounded his theater group with a group of Japanese pirates and their dog legs. He called for him, who was a pillar at that time, to perform a separate show for this group of people, in the name of: to condolences to all soldiers who were expeditioning to China."
Before Jiang Qin could finish speaking, the audience was in a state of emotion.
One after another, shouting: "No! Go to tmd!"
"Shameful?"
"And the expeditionary soldiers! I'm gonna!"
Jiang Qin smiled bitterly and continued to talk.
"Yes, he quit his performance, too. But the leader of the Japanese pirates said that if he dared to refuse, he would slaughter the entire theater, and even threatened to let the entire county town be buried with him! This is the price of rejection!"
"He doesn't know how many people there are in the entire county town, but there are countless figures of old and young people passing by. Those are innocent children, parents who have been working hard for half a lifetime, brothers and sisters who long for stability and smoothness, and grandparents who are still worried about their descendants even if they are half buried..."
In Jiang Qin's description, the scene at that time seemed to appear before the audience. The helpless person in the surrounded theater, the old county town deeply in suffering, and the young and old she mentioned were also their ancestors.
Everyone's throats began to become choked involuntarily, and their eyes gradually became red with the emotions that were like thorns in their throats.
At this moment, they empathized with the helplessness and despair of the actor in the story.
"He knew that he had no choice, but instead agreed with a smile on his face. He said he would prepare for the performance and make an appointment with the Japanese pirate leader to let them come and watch it on time the next day."
"That night, he dressed up in front of the mirror, the theater was filled with gongs and drums, the scene was opened, and he appeared in a beautiful show."
"What I sang on the stage is: Love doesn't know where it arises, and it goes deeper; what I sits on the stage are jackals, tigers and leopards, and evil ghosts are in the way."
This silent humiliation and sorrow is like the deepest and coldest sea water in the cold winter night, pouring up layer by layer and pouring into the internal organs of every Chinese.
"The drums are getting more and more anxious, and his singing style is getting more and more grief and angry. The jackals in the audience are so fascinated by it. Just as they tried to understand the emotions of an actor singing, he shouted on the stage: 'Light!"
"It was not until this time that the wolves realized that the fire in the theater had already spread. It was impossible to escape. All the doors and windows had been blocked. Fire snakes were running around, thick smoke was everywhere, curtains and wood chips fell down, and the entire theater was splashed with gasoline before they knew it."
"The Japanese pirate gang was so anxious that they jumped and fled around to hide, and on the independent stage, he sang the last play of his life as usual."
"The night is like ink, and the sky is filled with sparks, and the drama is falling, and he completed his life's masterpiece."
Jiang Qin’s story ends here.
The audience in the audience had already entered the story. They saw the people in the story. In the swaying firelight, they turned around and smiled at them with sadness but grace.
He told him with relief that this was how he had completed the last journey of his life.
There were many girls in the audience who had already cried. Their low sobs spread across the crowd, suppressed and sentimental. The sound was extremely contagious, which made the man who was trying hard to restrain himself unable to help but move. He puffed his lips and wiped his eyes calmly.
At this time, even Peng Qianzhi's face became slightly different from before. He removed his attack and defense, leaving only calmness, as if he was thinking about something.
Suddenly I heard music coming from my ears, which was the accompaniment of "Chi Ling".
The melodious and soothing sound of the pipa escaped from the speakers around the audience, comforting the people who were still immersed in the sadness.
