93: Chapter 93: Li Qingwan's entrance amazes the entire audience.

"What? Her program wasn't cut, and she's even performing as the grand finale?"

"Holy crap, what kind of luck does she have?"

The other artists in the lounge looked at Li Qingwan with envy, jealousy, and hatred after hearing the news.

This woman really had incredible luck.

Meanwhile, an artist named Zhang Han silently clenched his fists in a corner.

Originally, if Li Qingwan's program had been cut, he would have been the one to take the stage.

He had already pulled strings and smoothed things over with the director.

But now, the director had sent him a message.

Telling him that he didn't need to prepare anymore?

Telling him he didn't need to go on stage.

Seeing this message, Zhang Han felt as if the sky had fallen.

The look he gave Li Qingwan was filled with even more resentment.

Why her!

...

Finally.

Amidst the attention and expectant gazes of the thousands in the crowd.

Li Qingwan finally made her appearance.

And it was as the grand finale.

Li Qingwan was wearing Yi ethnic group attire, looking exceptionally exotic.

It was a breath of fresh air for the live audience and those in the livestream room.

"Wow, that outfit is beautiful."

"Is that ethnic minority clothing?"

"As expected of Li Qingwan, she looks good in everything."

"Yeah, it's mainly because Li Qingwan is beautiful herself."

The eyes of the live audience and the livestream viewers lit up one after another.

Especially the live audience; many of them were members of the Yi ethnic group, and seeing their own people's clothing...

...they began to scream and cheer.

However, although the attire was stunning.

The viewers in the livestream and the live audience...

...did not have much expectation for Li Qingwan's performance.

Mainly because the previous programs at the Liangzhou sub-venue had been truly mediocre.

It had caused many in the audience and online to lose their patience.

"Honestly, I'm getting a bit sleepy watching this."

"These galas hosted by CCTV are getting more and more boring."

"The singing programs are just the same old blessing songs over and over; my ears are getting calluses from listening."

"The dances are always the same few types, there's really no innovation."

"If it weren't for Li Qingwan's looks, I really wouldn't want to keep watching."

"Yeah, I'm only watching because I'm a fan of Li Qingwan; otherwise, I'd really turn it off."

The livestream viewers continued to complain.

"Next, please welcome singer Li Qingwan to perform a yi language song for everyone, 'dont be afraid'."

The Host announced the act.

"A yi language song?"

"Li Qingwan knows yi language songs?"

"For real?"

"I don't remember Li Qingwan knowing the yi language?"

"Li Qingwan can't make it in the Mandarin circle anymore, so she's starting to move into the yi language circle?"

"I've never seen Li Qingwan sing a song in another language before."

The viewers in the livestream room all began to express their surprise.

Even some of Li Qingwan's fans were very shocked.

At the same time.

In another city.

Gold Medal Producer Hou Yun was watching the livestream on his phone.

After hearing that the song Li Qingwan was going to sing was actually a yi language song.

He burst into loud laughter.

"This Li Qingwan, who knows where she managed to dig up a yi language song."

"Can she even sing it clearly?"

"I have no idea how she managed to fool those leaders."

"However, that's Liangzhou; if she sings poorly, she'll definitely incite public outrage."

Seeing this, Hou Yun felt much more at ease.

Then, he dialed a number.

"Sister, you can rest easy now."

"Li Qingwan is definitely going to make a huge fool of herself this time."

Hou Yun said with full confidence.

"Good, not bad."

"You did well this time; I won't forget to reward you."

A cold female voice came from the other end of the phone.

...

"A yi language song?"

"You're an outsider, what are you doing singing a yi language song?"

"This is simply a joke."

"Can you even sing it properly?"

Seeing that Li Qingwan was actually going to sing a yi language song.

Many of the Yi people at the scene spoke up one after another.

Clearly, these people knew that Li Qingwan was not of the Yi ethnic group.

"Director Zhu, the person singing the Yi song doesn't seem to be a Yi person?"

At this time, a leader beside Director Zhu suddenly asked with a frown.

"That's right, Leader, she indeed isn't a Yi person, but please rest assured."

"Her yi language song will definitely give you a surprise."

Director Zhu quickly guaranteed.

"How can an outsider capture the flavor of our yi language?"

"Our vocal style is something outsiders simply cannot learn."

"Exactly, I didn't expect it to be sung by an outsider; if I had known, I wouldn't have come."

Several other leaders shook their heads and said.

Clearly, regarding Li Qingwan singing a yi language song.

These leaders had no expectations whatsoever.

However.

Right at that moment.

Li Qingwan's voice, desolate to the extreme, rang out at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala sub-venue.

"ꌩꏾꊰꇁꌩꏾꏂꇁꃲ (The buckwheat leaves have fallen, the tree leaves have turned yellow)"

"ꈾꃨꀕꇁꈾꏾꊰꇁ (Spring goes and autumn comes)"

"ꉌꃀꁏꇁꃲꀒ (My heart fluctuates with emotion)"

"ꋍꈓꋍꃢꀒꋍꏅꋍꆪꊈꀒ (Time flows on)"

"ꀋꏦꇊꀋꏦꇊ (The years bring many changes)"

This time, Li Qingwan's yi language was much more proficient than it had been a few days ago.

She had even made a lot of progress in her vocal technique.

Of course, this was all thanks to Jiang Feng's personal guidance over the past few days.

Moreover, this time, Li Qingwan already understood the meaning within the lyrics.

Therefore, the feeling she sang with was more in line with the local accent of Liangzhou.

In an instant, it made people feel as if they were standing in the wilderness, experiencing the changing of the four seasons all around them.

"Holy shit, she really can sing in Yi?"

"My god, this feeling is the authentic vibe of a yi language song."

"Wow, she really knows how?"

"Oh my god, although I can't understand what she's singing in the lyrics."

"But this tone is so comfortable."

"This is exactly the right flavor."

"It's a bit stunning."

The viewers in the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala livestream room sent out a flurry of comments.

Even though most of these viewers were not Yi people, they still found it absolutely stunning.

It seemed like it had been a long time since anyone had heard such an amazing song at such a large-scale gala.

And these were just the feelings of the viewers who didn't understand the yi language.

At this moment, those truly shocked by Li Qingwan's Yi song...

...were the members of the live audience who understood the yi language.

Most of them were members of the Yi ethnic group.

Hearing Li Qingwan sing in the authentic Liangzhou accent of the yi language...

...they all felt their scalps go numb.

"My god."

"How can she sing with such an authentic Liangzhou accent?"

"Listening to her sing, I actually have a tingling sensation all over my body."

"Is she really not one of our Yi people?"

The Yi audience members were stunned.

They couldn't believe it.

The beauty of this song far exceeded their imagination.

Moreover, this song made them feel very familiar.

It was like a nursery rhyme they had heard their mothers sing when they were children.

Or like a few lines they had heard someone humming by the roadside.

In fact, the reason they felt this way about the song...

...was precisely because parts of the melody were sampled from some yi language folk tunes of Liangzhou.

And those Liangzhou leaders sitting with Director Zhu...

...also closed their eyes one after another.

Immersing themselves within it.

For the older generation of Liangzhou people, a song like this was all too capable of evoking their memories.
