The next day.
On the day of the Olympic opening ceremony.
Wave after wave of excitement had broken out on the Internet!
"Athletes, you can do it!"
"Fight for the gold medal first place this year!"
"I'm looking forward to the opening ceremony!"
"My goddess, Lillian!"
"This will be Lillian's first song in China!"
"There's still two more hours to go. I can't wait any longer!"
"Lillian! I love her so much! "
"Hey, did we forget about Teacher Zhang?"
"Why are you paying attention to Teacher Zhang? Even if you don't pay attention to that fellow, he would still stir up a huge commotion every now and then. You can see him every day, but Lillian isn't like that. This is her first time coming to China to perform. This is a historic moment!"
"Pfft, that's true."
"I'm still looking forward to Zhang Ye's new song."
"The secrecy is so good. We don't even know what he's going to sing."
"Lillian only arrived in Beijing yesterday. I wonder if they'll be able to work well together? I'm very worried. "
"I'm very worried too. What I'm worried about is Zhang Ye's bad temper. I hope he doesn't get into a fight with Lillian's team again. We all know that when Zhang Ye flips out, he won't give a damn about anyone!"
"Damn, previous poster, don't jinx it!"
"Now that you mention it, I feel a little scared too!"
...
At the Olympic venue.
Unbeknownst to them, the two people involved were getting along quite well at this moment.
In a waiting room with a window that was connected to the outside, this place was very remote. Everyone was busy at the main venue, so not many people came over here. The window was open and smoke was constantly coming out.
With a cigarette in his mouth, Zhang Ye pointed at the score and said, "Let's stick to yesterday's rehearsal."
Lillian held a cigarette between her fingers and said, "Alright, I might have to go up another octave here."
"You're still going up?" Zhang Ye said, "Alright then, I won't go up. If I go up any further, it won't sound good, but it's not like I can't sing it."
Lillian nodded and said, "That's settled then. Let's go through it again after we finish smoking."
Zhang Ye said, "OK."
On the opening day of the Olympics, only Zhang Ye and Lillian had dared to bring matches into the venue and secretly smoke in the venue during all the previous Olympics!
...
The Olympic Village.
There was still some time before the athletes entered the stadium for the opening ceremony. The various countries' delegations were either chatting, training, or resting in their accommodations.
In the China table tennis team dormitory.
"Letting Zhang Ye sing the theme song will definitely screw it up!"
"What kind of song can he sing? It's so awful!"
"I just don't understand why they let him sing with Lillian!"
"Just wait and see. If he messes up, it will be us China people who lose face!"
In the China Gymnastics Team dormitory.
"Why is everyone talking about Zhang Ye and Lillian's theme song online?"
"Because Lillian is an international superstar!"
"Zhang Ye is actually quite good too."
"What do you mean not bad? He's just a stinking hooligan!"
Many of the athletes and coaches who had quarreled with Zhang Ye in the past were now full of complaints. That Beijing Television's Spring Festival Gala skit "Playing What They Like" had turned many of the athletes and coaches of the China sports world into "lifelong haters" of Zhang Ye.
…
Central TV's live broadcast had begun!
There were a total of three people in the live broadcast studio. One of them was Yu Yingyi. If it weren't for the fact that Yu Yingyi's popularity had skyrocketed during the Go war between humans and machines a few days ago, she wouldn't have gotten a chance to participate in a live broadcast of the Olympics. At most, she would have been given an interview at the venue instead of appearing in the live broadcast studio.
The famous sports commentator, Zhao Zhi, said, "We can see that the heads of state are starting to enter the venue."
Yu Yingyi smiled and said, "According to the news we've received, the number of heads of state attending this year's Beijing Olympics will be the highest ever in history. The number of countries around the world broadcasting the event on television will also be the highest in history. This is the charm of sports and the charm of the Olympics!"
It was getting closer and closer to the opening ceremony!
There were tens of thousands of people at the venue, and there were basically no empty seats left. This scene was too shocking and exciting! This was the first time that China was hosting the Olympics. It was the first time that the host country was welcoming the political leaders and sports delegations from all over the world at their doorstep. It was also the first time that the eyes of so many people from all over the world were focused on them at the same time. The significance of this was different from the past. The Chinese people were all hoping that this year's Olympics would be recorded in the annals of history!
Zhao Zhi said, "Today is going to be a historic moment!"
Another commentator said, "Yes, I'm already getting excited."
Yu Yingyi said, "Let's turn the camera to the venue and interview the audience."
The camera cut.
A Central TV reporter appeared on camera.
He said with a smile, "Alright, host. I'm currently in the main venue of the National Stadium. As everyone can see, the auditorium is already full. Most of the people here are from China, and there are also some foreigners who specially came from overseas to cheer for their country's athletes. Right now, I'm here to interview everyone about their expectations for the opening ceremony." He turned around and walked over.
The cameraman immediately followed behind him.
The live broadcast signal spread throughout the country.
The Central TV reporter raised the microphone to a foreign woman. "Hello."
Several foreign men and women were probably together. When they saw the camera, they started screaming and waving their hands like crazy.
The reporter asked in English, "What are you most concerned about for the opening ceremony?"
The foreign woman immediately shouted, "Lillian! Of course it's Lillian! Oh, she's my idol for life! I love her! "
The Central TV reporter switched to a young Chinese man. "Hello."
The young man was a little nervous as he faced the camera. "Hello."
The Central TV reporter asked, "The opening ceremony is about to begin. What do you want to see the most?"
The young man answered without even thinking, "I want to see Lillian the most!"
The reporter asked, "Why?"
The young man smiled shyly and said, "Because she's my goddess! I've heard all of her songs, and I've watched all of the movies she has acted in! "
The reporter laughed and said, "Looks like you're a hardcore fan. Alright, thank you."
Following that, the Central TV reporter asked a few more people.
"Lillian!"
"Of course it's Lillian!"
"I'm here to see Lillian!"
Without any suspense, everyone's answer was that they were most concerned about Lillian!
…
The viewers watching the live broadcast on TV were amused.
"If we don't see Lillian, who do we want to see!"
"Don't tell me we want to see Zhang Ye? We're already sick of watching him! Haha! "
"How can Teacher Zhang be as good looking as our Lillian!"
"Even if you ask a hundred people, it'll still be Lillian."
…
At the venue.
The Central TV reporter chuckled as he looked at the camera and said, "It looks like Britain's most beautiful woman is too popular. Let me ask again to see if there are any other points of interest."
At this moment, he found another auntie.
The auntie was playing with her cell phone with her head lowered.
The Central TV reporter walked up to her. "Hello, Auntie."
The auntie was taken aback. "Eh?"
The reporter asked, "Who are you most concerned about for this year's opening ceremony?"
The auntie said, "Zhang Ye."
That Central TV reporter perked up. "That's great, there's finally a different answer. Why did you pay attention to Zhang Ye? Is it because of the anticipation for his new song? "
The auntie said, "No."
The reporter pressed, "Then is it because his partner is Lillian?"
The auntie said, "No."
The reporter was taken aback. "Then why?"
The auntie looked at the reporter like he was an idiot. "Because I'm his mother!"
The reporter tripped and nearly fainted!
The viewers watching the live broadcast also burst into laughter!
"Aiyo, I can't take it anymore!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"I'm dying of laughter!"
"Can you not be so funny! Pfft! "
"This is such a fucking classic!"
"I pissed myself laughing!"
"Hahahaha! I'm having a fit from laughing! "
In the live broadcast studio.
Zhao Zhi said in surprise, "Is that really Professor Zhang's mother?"
Yu Yingyi couldn't hold back her laughter. "Yes, I met Auntie when I was in college. After so many years, she hasn't changed at all. She's still so young."
When the audience heard that, they cramped up with laughter!
How coincidental could this be!
In a live venue with tens of thousands of people, Zhang Ye's mother was actually interviewed. The reporter even asked such a silly question!
