Chapter 707: Chapter 413 - The Return of the Student, Starting a New Journey (Please Subscribe)_1

Li Hongyan was filled with an exhilarating emotion when the people under her announced that the television ratings had reached the peak of the Spring Festival Gala in recent years.

Li Hongyan had been directing the Spring Festival Gala in Xia Country for several years.

However, as technology rapidly advanced, people’s expectations for the Spring Festival Gala lowered considerably.

In the old days, the Gala had very high viewing ratings, producing numerous classic skits, cross-talks, and other works.

However, the number of people watching the Spring Festival Gala has declined in recent years, with most young people busy grabbing "red packets" and sending blessings on their phones during the broadcast, paying no attention to the program at all.

However!

This year saw a turning point, with viewership reaching a new peak, and there were even chances to set new records.

That was because of a young singer from Mist City Arts and Science University, Lin Zhirou, who performed the song "Blue and White Porcelain" on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

This song, full of Xia Country style, accompanied by exquisite stage effects and breathtaking choreography, pushed the performance to an unprecedented height.

Many viewers were captivated by Lin Zhirou’s performance.

Even elderly people who often sneer at popular music the younger generation likes, felt the song was very pleasing and melodious as sung by this beautiful girl.

"Director Li, ’Blue and White Porcelain’ seems likely to be the highest-rated performance this year," said a deputy director laughing next to Li Hongyan.

Li Hongyan’s lips revealed a smile.

This program was born out of a happy accident. She heard a colleague listening to the song and found it to be unique and beautiful.

Later, "Blue and White Porcelain" spread like wildfire across the internet, not only domestically but also overseas. Its play count on YouTube was also staggeringly high.

The audience, both in the studio and at home, was deeply attracted by the song.

It wasn’t until the last note of "Blue and White Porcelain" ended, and the beautifully arranged stage gradually faded, that people came back to their senses.

Applause broke out on the scene.

In many families across the country, some proud students of Mist City Arts and Science University told their families, "See, this beauty is from our school; she’s my schoolmate!"

"Look at her!"

With that comment from a parent, the students were rendered speechless.

Ultimately, Lin Zhirou’s performance of "Blue and White Porcelain" achieved the highest viewing rate in the Spring Festival Gala over the past five years.

Li Hongyan could determine that while other performances were also brilliant, surpassing Lin Zhirou’s "Blue and White Porcelain" would be quite challenging.

And Lin Zhirou’s performance of "Blue and White Porcelain" on the Spring Festival Gala successfully brought renewed recognition to the song.

People used to merely know the song was highly popular and a remarkable Xia Country-style song.

But now.

They know that the song had been acknowledged on the Spring Festival Gala’s stage and, paired with the Gala’s amazing stage effects, it was simply stunning.

A mere three minutes after Lin Zhirou finished performing "Blue and White Porcelain," it shot up the trending list.

After completing her performance at this year’s Spring Festival Gala and leaving the stage, Lin Zhirou went to the dressing room to remove her makeup and change clothes.

"Lin, once you’ve finished tidying up, head straight downstairs to the TV station. We’ve arranged a car to take you to the airport."

A Spring Festival Gala staff member notified Lin Zhirou.

Any actor,singer, or dancer with a certain level of fame in the Spring Festival Gala can go home after their performance. The organizing committee would make all the related arrangements, which was a considerable improvement implemented by Li Hongyan since she started directing the Spring Festival Gala.

Before, after ending their performances, the performers had to arrange their own transportation, buy plane tickets, and plan their schedules accordingly.

"Thank you."

Lin Zhirou politely thanked the staff member of the Spring Festival Gala.

"Hehe, no need for thanks. This is our duty. Also, I really love your ’Blue and White Porcelain’; it’s so beautiful."

The staff member said with a smile.

"Thank you." Lin Zhirou expressed her gratitude again, this time for the staff’s appreciation of her song.

Sitting in front of the makeup mirror, the makeup room staff helped Lin Zhirou remove her makeup, "wig", clothing, and other stage properties.

After all, when she appeared on stage, Lin Zhirou went through meticulous styling and was praised by numerous viewers as "the most beautiful performer in the history of the Spring Festival Gala."

On Twitter, Lin Zhirou’s beauty was mentioned again by netizens.

As the top-ranking "campus belle" of the first batch of Mist City Arts and Science University, the so-called "beauty carrier," some funny netizens even started calling her "wife."

Soon, Lin Zhirou finished removing her makeup in the dressing room and changed into her clothes. She put on a light grey down jacket, wrapped herself in a beige scarf, picked up her suitcase, and took the elevator down from the NTS station building.
