The program was more than halfway through its recording.
In addition to the large orchestra and choir, the performers also included artists from the older generation.
After all, the most important aspect of such a program was impeccable virtue and skill.
Many veteran artists had consistently conveyed correct values and used their influence to do a lot of public welfare.
They were the ones truly deserving of greater public affection.
And this program, besides praising the motherland and looking forward to the future, also invited some students to sing inspirational songs.
What was interesting was.
The chosen song was "Shaonian Hua Guo Shuo" (Young China Speaks).
Upon hearing the song and seeing the name Ting Yu as the lyricist and composer on the big screen.
Su Zhengguo's face showed profound pride, and his eyes couldn't help but redden slightly.
This was a different kind of pride than when Su Yu was awarded the title of Music God.
Spreading positive energy and being used in a tribute program.
This was a glory that transcended the entertainment industry.
Su Zhengguo, as an ordinary citizen, had never lost his basic patriotism. The nation existed, and only then could there be a home.
"When the youth are wise, the nation is wise; when the youth are rich, the nation is rich; when the youth are strong, the nation is strong..."
The energetic voices of a group of youths echoed through the studio.
The lyrics of this song had been included by the Ministry of Education, and it was rumored that it would soon be included in textbooks.
If that were to happen.
Ting Yu's name would surely become even more renowned!
One program after another was recorded.
Su Yu's heart felt a surge of excitement.
Unlike the romantic entanglements of the entertainment industry, official programs carried an inherent solemnity and sense of pride, as most of them were dedicated to praising heroes, while others were performances blessing the prosperity of the nation.
It was heard that during the official broadcast, they would also incorporate live footage of the volunteer army martyrs returning home.
At that moment, Su Yu felt it was necessary to go back and watch the official version again.
Finally.
Chen Yu's symphony orchestra took the stage.
She held her violin, and the sight of a symphony orchestra of over a hundred people was quite magnificent.
Their performance naturally began with their pre-prepared program.
"Every time I listen to Auntie and their symphony orchestra perform, I am mesmerized," Lin Yanyu whispered, leaning her head on Su Yu's shoulder.
"It is indeed very good," Su Yu said, releasing her hand.
Just as Lin Yanyu's dissatisfied lips were about to pout, he slightly opened his palm.
The latter immediately understood.
She placed her small hand into his.
Their fingers intertwined in perfect understanding.
"Hehe, that's more like it," Lin Yanyu said, planting a kiss on his cheek with satisfaction.
Listening to a symphony orchestra performance live.
The detailed presentation, which far surpassed that of speakers or headphones, was incredibly impactful.
Moreover, the music itself was grand and majestic, surging like a tide.
For a moment, only the music filled the air, with no other sounds.
After their performance concluded.
They did not leave the stage immediately.
Because there was one more song added to the program, "Chi Ling" (The Scarlet Ling). Most people had heard this song more than once and were somewhat familiar with it. Upon receiving the sheet music, they were able to quickly get acquainted with it. After practicing a few times backstage, they were able to perform it together.
And unlike live broadcasts, recorded programs allowed for mistakes; even if there was a slip-up, they could simply do it again.
Of course, Chen Yu's symphony orchestra was the most professional orchestra in China, and its members had experienced countless live performances, making mistakes a rarity.
After the symphony orchestra finished their own performance, a faint sense of excitement appeared on everyone's faces.
"We've performed countless famous pieces; today, let's do something new."
"Haha, it's been a long time since our orchestra accompanied pop music, hasn't it?"
"Of course. There aren't many songs in the current Chinese music scene that are worthy of our orchestra's accompaniment."
"My Xiaoyu's songs are still qualified," Chen Yu said with a smile as they discussed.
At this moment.
Li Yuliang walked onto the stage from backstage.
He was there to watch the program today, so he wasn't in costume.
However, the television station had many performance costumes, and he casually chose one to wear.
He had always listened to the song "Chi Ling."
He had even played it on repeat before.
After all, the original singer of this song was Chen Rong.
To put it simply, in the opera industry, there was no one who didn't know Chen Rong.
She was the most deserved top-tier star in the opera industry.
Of course, with the song "Chi Ling," Chen Rong had also become immensely popular in the pop music scene.
Now, many young people knew that there was a beautiful woman with god-like singing skills named Chen Rong. More importantly, she was also the mother-in-law of the Music God, Ting Yu!
The song "Chi Ling" played a very important role in promoting the opera industry and marked the beginning of Ting Yu's opera-style songs.
After Li Yuliang took the stage.
The student choir that had sung "Shaonian Hua Guo Shuo" also arrived on stage.
Li Yuliang winked at his wife in the audience.
She gave him a smiling, chiding glance.
Originally, the couple had planned to take their daughter to an amusement park after her performance.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuliang had waited for her before, and now it was her turn to wait for Li Yuliang.
However, being able to have her husband perform on stage was probably something only Ting Yu could achieve.
After all, at home, Liu Yuliang had always expressed his envy of Chen Rong being able to sing "Chi Ling." Now that he was performing it, it could be considered fulfilling a wish.
The prelude began.
Although there was a slight difference in tone between the orchestral and the Chinese traditional instrument flute, it was equally pleasing to the ear.
Coupled with the other instruments of the symphony orchestra, such as strings, woodwinds, and brass.
It created a magnificent and awe-inspiring grandeur.
Chi Ling
Vocalist: Li Yuliang
Lyrics: Ting Yu
Music: Ting Yu
As the song information appeared.
A hushed murmur arose from the audience.
However, the audience at the recording session was different from entertainment industry fans; they did not engage in wild cheering. They expressed their inner shock through quiet discussions.
Moreover, the murmuring did not last long, and the venue quickly fell silent again.
The entertainment industry was an explosive scene; the louder the cheers, the more the audience liked the work. But in a venue of this caliber, silence was the greatest acknowledgment of the work.
"Stars shift, time flies,
See the pear blossoms, urge the elm fire, passing on new colors.
Flowing songs, layers of mountains resonate,
See the nine regions, moon and wind together, rejoicing as one..."
When Li Yuliang's voice rang out.
The audience was first stunned, then their faces showed a look of rapturous fascination.
They hadn't expected that not only the arrangement of "Chi Ling" had been adapted into a symphony, but the lyrics had also been changed.
Moreover, Li Yuliang indeed deserved to be called a "national team" member.
His voice was warm and refined, completely different from his personal demeanor, creating a significant contrast.
"I wish to draw the long bowstring, not betray my youth for home and country,
Among thousands, you and I, become scattered sparks igniting a prairie fire,
Hot blood mingles, faith integrates into your pulse,
Though lowly, I dare not forget to worry about the nation, even if no one knows me..."
When he sang "I wish to draw the long bowstring, not betray my youth for home and country," the audience finally understood that this song was specially produced for the heroes' return this time.
In that era, it was those martyrs who, with their flesh and blood, laid the foundation for the present peace and prosperity.
Today, they could finally return to their homeland, and these few lines of lyrics alone.
Were enough to move people immensely!
