91: Chapter 91 The program was canceled at the last minute? Li Qingwan was stunned.

A few days later.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala finally arrived.

Li Qingwan attended as a guest performer.

And Jiang Feng had obtained an inner-field ticket from Li Qingwan.

He could visit the venue.

To be honest, this was Jiang Feng's first time attending such a national-level gala.

Moreover, he was sitting in such a close position.

The stage was not far in front of him, and he could see it very clearly.

Those sitting around him were basically all at the leadership level.

Seeing Jiang Feng's young face, the people around him cast curious glances one after another.

Clearly, they were curious about Jiang Feng's identity and how he could sit in such a spot.

At first, Jiang Feng found it quite novel.

He looked around for a while and ate some fruit from the table.

But soon, Jiang Feng started to feel a bit bored.

He couldn't help but yawn.

Fortunately, at this time, the gala finally began.

Because this was one of CCTV's four major cultural galas.

Even though it was a Branch Venue, it was still very grand.

The first to take the stage were four young, handsome, and beautiful Hosts.

Jiang Feng didn't recognize them, but these four Hosts did a good job.

Their voices were very infectious.

Crucially, they were quite good-looking.

It made Jiang Feng unable to resist taking a few more looks.

Subsequently, amidst the blessings of the four Hosts, the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala officially began.

The first performance was a dance program.

Jiang Feng watched for a bit and found the dancing was not bad.

Most importantly, these dancers were all quite pretty.

It was quite easy on Jiang Feng's eyes.

Next, the following program was a singing performance.

They sang a Red Song.

The singing was ordinary, but after all, it was a Red Song.

This was a staple of CCTV programs, so Jiang Feng didn't feel it was appropriate to criticize much.

However, Jiang Feng's overall impression was that it was just average.

"This program is too mediocre."

Just as Jiang Feng couldn't help but start dozing off.

Someone beside him suddenly spoke.

Jiang Feng looked over and found it was likely a young man from the Yi ethnic group.

At this moment, he was shaking his head in evaluation.

The table he sat at was basically all people from the Yi ethnic group.

Jiang Feng could tell from their accents.

"Exactly, these programs aren't as good as our Yi ethnic group's songs and dances."

"It's not good."

"It's making me sleepy."

The other Yi people shook their heads one after another.

Clearly, other audience members sitting in the front rows were giving the Program team some face.

But these Yi people weren't giving any face at all.

They began critiquing directly in public.

...

Meanwhile.

Director Zhu, who was backstage supervising the entire event, received a call from his superior.

"Old Zhu, what's going on with your Liangzhou Branch Venue?"

"When the TV broadcast switches to other Branch Venues, the viewership is very stable."

"But as soon as it switches to your Liangzhou Branch Venue, the viewership data drops sharply."

"This won't do."

The person calling Director Zhu was an old leader from CCTV.

He was currently the leader in charge of all of CCTV.

"Leader, I understand. I will continue to supervise it."

Director Zhu said quickly.

After the call was disconnected, he felt somewhat helpless.

This really couldn't be blamed on him.

All the powerful singers and actors had been invited to other Branch Venues.

Liangzhou was a remote place after all, so generally powerful singers and actors were unwilling to come.

The singers and stage performers he chose were all those left over after the other Branch Venues had made their picks.

How could the data not be at the bottom?

Thinking of this, Director Zhu let out a slight sigh.

"Director Huang, come over here for a moment."

"See if you can streamline the remaining programs, and move some of the better ones to the front."

"Or perhaps, cut some programs that you think aren't quite up to par."

After thinking for a moment, Director Zhu called over the Branch Venue director, Director Huang.

"Uh, okay, Director Zhu, I'll get right on it."

Upon hearing this, Director Huang hurriedly went to do as Director Zhu intended.

However, Director Huang thought for a while.

He decided to cut Li Qingwan's song program, 'dont be afraid'.

Director Huang had always felt this program wasn't quite suitable.

Although it was a song in the yi language, the lyrics and melody weren't very suitable for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.

Thinking of this, he also sent his assistant to notify Li Qingwan.

Telling her that her program had been cancelled.

...

In the dressing room.

Li Qingwan was wearing a set of Yi ethnic clothing called 'Vala', featuring the three colors of black, red, and yellow.

The vibrant Yi clothing, far from diminishing Li Qingwan's beauty, instead added a touch of exotic flair.

It drew the other celebrities in the dressing room to look toward Li Qingwan's position.

And at this moment, Li Qingwan was clearly somewhat nervous.

She was constantly taking deep breaths.

Whether she could sing well later might determine her future career in the stars.

Therefore, she was constantly breathing deeply to adjust her state.

"Who is Li Qingwan?"

Just then.

The director's assistant walked into the dressing room.

He shouted loudly.

"Hello, that's me."

"Is it my turn to go on stage?"

Li Qingwan raised her hand to indicate.

"No, your program has been cancelled."

The director's assistant shook his head and said.

"What?"

"Why?"

Li Qingwan was a bit stunned.

Cancelling a program at the last minute?

This was too much of a blow to one's mindset.

You should know, Li Qingwan had heard others talk about such things before.

Programs on CCTV indeed could be cut right before going on stage.

But when it actually happened to her.

Li Qingwan still found it somewhat hard to believe.

"There is no why."

"I'm just notifying you."

The director's assistant said coldly.

Then, he turned and left without looking back.

Li Qingwan stood frozen on the spot.

In an instant, she felt like she had become the biggest clown.

The gazes of those around her were filled with pity or schadenfreude.

After all, just a moment ago, Li Qingwan was far too dazzling.

It made many female artists feel quite jealous.

Now that Li Qingwan's program was cut.

These female artists all felt relieved.

This is the Entertainment Circle, and this is human nature.

One can never bear to see others doing better than oneself.

...

"Eh, shouldn't it be Li Qingwan's turn to come out now?"

Jiang Feng sat in the audience.

He watched one artist after another take the stage.

But after waiting a long time without seeing Li Qingwan, he was also a bit confused.

According to the performance order Li Qingwan had sent him, she should have been the thirteenth to perform?

How come there have been fourteen now.

And still no sign of Li Qingwan.

This made Jiang Feng frown incessantly.

However, after Li Qingwan went in, her phone was collected.

So Jiang Feng couldn't contact her either.

He could only sit below the stage and wait quietly.

...

On the other side.

Director Zhu's office, however, welcomed a few distinguished guests.

"Director Zhu, long time no see."

Several middle-aged men walked into Director Zhu's office.
