My singer girlfriend is super fierce

During the Spring Festival Gala of Jiangsu Provincial Satellite TV, a piece of "Silk Pulling Play" which is a combination of "ancient style + intangible cultural heritage puppet show + Peking opera tune" set off a fire in the online live broadcast room.

"Sounds good!"

“I declare this the best ancient Chinese song of the year!”

"The moment the Peking Opera characters and tunes came out, I got goose bumps."

"Did you notice that the puppet and the actor have the same clothes? So he is singing the puppet's inner voice."

On the stage, the performance continues.

When singing the second chorus, a text slowly appeared on the big screen behind the stage.

[I was able to see ghosts when I was young. I once met a puppeteer in a wild temple on a snowy night. He had white hair and ragged clothes, but he held a puppet that was made very finely. It looked like a beautiful girl, with pearls painted on her eyes and tears filling her eyes. It was very pitiful...]

This text is not long, with only about 300 words in total. Although it is written in classical Chinese, in China, classical Chinese is a compulsory course, and many people who have graduated from high school can easily understand it.

This text actually completes the background story of the song.

The general meaning is that "I" have been able to see things that others cannot see since I was a child. On a snowy night, I met an old and ragged puppeteer and his puppet.

When he was young, the puppeteer was obsessed with the skill of string puppets and made it his profession. He was free and wandering, but he also wandered all his life, with no fixed place to live and no companion, only the puppet in his hand to accompany him.

I had nothing to do, so I asked the puppeteer to show off his skills. I saw him performing with a puppet in front of a three-foot red cloth. The puppet sang melodiously and looked around with a lively look. Although it had a sad makeup on its face, it was extremely beautiful.

After the song ended, the puppeteer calmed down while holding the puppet, but suddenly said angrily: I have been in such a miserable state all my life because of you. I can't even afford clothes when the weather is cold. Now that I am so poor, I might as well burn you!

So, he angrily threw the puppet into the fire. I was unable to stop him and could only stamp my feet and sigh.

Suddenly, the puppet slowly stood up from the fire, bowed sadly to the old man, and kowtowed to say goodbye. Its posture was like a living person, with tear marks clearly visible on its face, and it was engulfed in the fire.

The fire was not extinguished until the next day. The old man came to his senses and covered his face with his hands, crying, "It's warm, but I'm alone" - it's warm, but I'm alone.

If the previous song was at the level of being "nice to listen to", this paragraph of text directly sublimates the lyrics of the entire song.

[The lights are bright, frowning your eyebrows

If you shed a tear, if I grow old with you,

Turning to ash in the mist, it was a perfect departure...】

At the end of the performance, the "puppet" stood side by side with the singer. When the last word of "perfectly" fell, the curtain slowly closed.

When the song ended, thousands of listeners across the country felt as if they had experienced a story from another world.

After savoring it, people frantically scrolled through the live broadcast room’s comments and recommended it to their friends and family.

"Go watch the Jiangsu Provincial TV Spring Festival Gala!"

"This year's Jiangsu Provincial TV is amazing!"

"How does it compare to CCTV's Spring Festival Gala? I don't know, but you won't regret watching it!"

"The new song written by Ye Zhiqiu has a very ancient style!"

After the show "Silk Pulling Drama" ended, the number of viewers in its online live broadcast room has unknowingly soared to more than 500 million, and is still increasing.

At this time, the CCTV still had the largest number of online viewers for the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, reaching over 1000 million.

The second is Jiangsu Provincial TV. Although it is only half of the main station, the gap seems to be narrowing rapidly...

This year’s Jiangsu Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala is different!

This sentence has spread in many people's WeChat group chats.

......

The party continued, and after a few more programs, it came to one of the major programs of the night - "Mountain Travel Love".

Program information slowly emerged on the live broadcast screen.

Song title: "Mountain Love"

Lyrics/Composer: Ye Zhiqiu

Performers: Yu Caiwei&?

In the previous life, the song "You Shan Lian" was written and sung by a singer named Helen. It initially became popular as an online song on platforms such as Tik Tok.

The most popular version of this song was performed by singer Ju Jingyi and Yue Opera actor Chen Lijun in the 2024 Oriental Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala.

When this performance came out, it immediately became a hot topic on Weibo, and related videos on major platforms received nearly one million likes in one day.

The stage designed by Ye Zhiqiu for Yu Caiwei in this Spring Festival Gala was based on this version.

However, it is difficult to find a singer like Chen Lijun in his previous life, so he had to do it himself.

It's just dressing as a woman, everything is for the pursuit of stage art.

Anyway, this isn't the first time this has happened, right...?

As for the confidentiality of Yu Caiwei's duet partner when the program was announced, it was a marketing strategy.

At this time, the live broadcast room of the program was already filled with dense comments.

"finally come!"

"Sure enough, it's another song written by Ye Zhiqiu!"

"Who? Who is singing with Yu Caiwei?"

"Mystery revealed!"

The performance began with the melodious sounds of the guzheng and dongxiao, and a gorgeous golden phoenix crown appeared on the screen.

A slender hand as white as jade gently strokes the phoenix crown, and then the camera zooms out from this center, and a graceful figure wearing a light blue silk long dress with wide sleeves and long hair tied with a red butterfly ribbon slowly walks out.

The moment Yu Caiwei appeared in this look, the barrage of comments went wild, and was almost entirely filled with the word "so beautiful".

On the stage, Yu Caiwei walked to a folding fan. The camera zoomed in and saw her own image in ancient costume hand-painted on the pages of the fan.

The ink-like ripples slowly spread out, and the scene changed again. Next to a long table, there sat a female figure with long hair tied up in a flower crown and wearing a green cross-collared robe.

The actor has sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, slightly upturned eyes, and an upright figure, three parts of femininity and seven parts of heroism. Just from the look, one can tell he looks extremely heroic at first glance.

However, when the long-awaited "answer" was revealed, all netizens were stunned.

"?"

"???"

"who are you?"

"Who is this? Don't you know him?"

"Can anyone tell me if this is a new singer?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it before!"

"Whoever she is, she's so handsome, right? How can a girl be so handsome?"

"A stranger is like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world. She really has that feeling."

"That doesn't make sense. With such a distinctive look in the domestic entertainment industry, it's impossible for someone to be unknown unless they are a complete newcomer..."

"Dead, dead, I feel like there's something wrong with my sexual orientation. It's not impossible for women..."

The next moment, the heroic actress's voice, as deep as a bell and mixed with opera singing, appeared.

[I am drunk and travel to Hanshan Mountain, the sky is full of frost

To understand the nature, cultivate the self, and prove the origin of the universe, the stars move and the constellations turn

Looking up at the blue water and mist, a bird falls to the earth

Holding the flying fairy, I travel in this world.

As soon as she opened her mouth, almost all the audience were conquered by her singing.

At this time, many people in the industry were also watching the Spring Festival Gala on Jiangsu Satellite TV, and were also shocked by the actor's "kneeling down upon opening his mouth".

Just the aura and singing voice, and more importantly, the confidence and control of the stage from the inside out, are definitely not something that ordinary people can achieve.

But who is she?
