The music became softer!
The song was coming to an end!
It was as if the accompaniment had been deliberately lowered to the minimum, so that the two women's voices could be heard more clearly on the stage. It was even louder and more enchanting!
Zhang Xia smiled brightly, "I have a flower, growing in my heart."
Zhang Yuanqi hugged Grandma Zhang's shoulders, "No one understands true love. Weeds are everywhere, covering the hillsides..."
At this point, the two women, who were no longer considered young, looked at each other and did not speak for a long time. Slowly, their smiles revealed traces of age for the first time as they sang the last line of the song. It was very soft and light, "Lonely fragrance... self-admiration... is the most painful."
On the stage of the young!
In the world of the young!
Two women who had been doubted by countless people, two women who had been evaluated as outdated and old by countless media outlets, at the moment when their programs were about to be axed, they had actually gone on stage together. They had endured the heavy pressure to sing out the youth in their hearts, blooming what might be the last glimmer of light on this stage!
Lonely fragrance self-admiration?
No! You are not lonely fragrance self-admiration!
All the older audience members burst out with all their might at this moment, giving their all to clap for the two great women on stage!
"Well done!"
"Who said that you are old!"
"Grandma Zhang, you are so beautiful today!"
"No one appreciates you? We appreciate it!! "
Standing on stage was a young married woman and an old lady, but in everyone's eyes, they were younger than the young! You have given up too much for the stage and the audience, and lost too much! Even if time has crawled all over your faces! You are still the two most beautiful women flowers in the world!
Tears...
Excitement...
Sadness...
Touching...
The audience had different expressions. They were moved by the song "Woman Flower". They were also moved by the persistence and confidence of the two women who were born on this stage and would die on this stage in the future!
In another world, "Woman Flower" was one of Anita Mui's most classic works. Chen Yaochuan's song, coupled with Li Anxiu's lyrics, coupled with Anita Mui's deep and emotional performance, it was definitely a work of God. However, today, Zhang Yuanqi and Zhang Xia, these two veterans in the music industry, had performed a different effect. Without the bitterness of Lady Mui, there was more confidence and calmness. Those who didn't understand would never be able to understand this song. "Woman Flower" did not have any high pitch, no passionate rhythm, and no fancy changes in pitch. From the beginning to the end, the melody was flat. From the perspective of a young person, this was undoubtedly a failure. However, those who had experienced it, especially women, could truly understand the meaning of this song!
That was a woman's lifelong confession!
That was the loneliness under the beauty!
It was a kind of desolation behind the flourishing, and the final bloom within the desolation!
"Their lives... have not been easy." Master Zhou was filled with emotions.
Madam Zhou wiped her tears and said, "Big Sis Zhang has sung for more than 30 years. She has been on stage all her life. Zhang Yuanqi debuted when she was a few years old and has performed on stage for nearly 30 years. No one knows their hard work, nor how much they have sacrificed. When the Spring Festival Gala needed them, they came and dedicated their lives. Now that the Spring Festival Gala does not need them anymore, what will they do? Where should they go? "
Master Zhou patted his wife's hand, "The Spring Festival Gala still needs them!"
Master Wei looked at the stage with a sigh, "That's right, the singing world still needs them!"
To many people present, Lee Anson's "LOVE-ONE" only had a good melody and a wonderful performance. It was entertaining and popular, but it was not art. Zhang Yuanqi and Zhang Xia's "Woman Flower" was the true art!
......
Backstage.
A female staff member in her forties who was operating the equipment was lost. The moment this song entered her ears, it made her recall her entire life. Birth, school, work, marriage, childbirth, divorce. Her heart was filled with complicated and messy emotions. This song made her dumbfounded!
Why?
Why did such excellent singers decide not to let them go on stage??
The woman from the production team stared straight at the screen, "Previously, when I heard them sing, I thought it was pretty good, but I never expected it to have such an effect after listening to it live! It's too amazing! I nearly cried from singing it! It's not easy being a woman. "
The oldest old man in the production team gave a gratified smile, "Zhang Xia is still as good as ever! Who says that only young people are popular when they sing? "Woman Flower"? Today, these two have broadened our horizons! "
They had heard it before and knew it was a good song, but they never expected it to be so moving. Zhang Xia and Zhang Yuanqi had said in the afternoon that they did not sing well. It seemed like what she said was true. On stage, in a live setting, they sang their true feelings and emotions!
Perfect!
This song was performed to perfection!
What two powerful veterans of the music industry!
Even Executive Director Peng Yiyu, who firmly believed that the Spring Festival Gala no longer needed Zhang Xia and Zhang Yuanqi, was touched by this song. After some thought, he silently took out his cellphone and sent a message to his wife, "It's been hard on you all these years."
His wife quickly replied, "Ah? What do you mean? "
Peng Yiyu said, "It's nothing. I just wanted to say thank you."
His wife said, "Hur Hur, why is it so mushy? Hurry up and do what you need to do. I've already wrapped the dumplings. I'll wait for you to come back for dinner in the middle of the night."
Peng Yiyu said, "Don't wait for me. I don't know what time I'll be back."
His wife said, "I'll wait for you no matter what time it is. Don't reply. Hurry up and do what you need to do."
......
At the venue.
"In the past, there were quite a few songs about women. I thought they were pretty good, but compared to 'Woman Flower', what are those songs?"
"That's right. Those songs that praised women only touched on the surface. They were too pompous. This song, 'Woman Flower', is really about women! The person who wrote the lyrics and music is definitely a person who understands women to the bone. He understands us women too well! The song was written well, and Zhang Xia and Zhang Yuanqi sang well too! "
"A perfect work!"
"These two women are really good!"
Some young people could not understand.
"What kind of song is this? It's not nice!"
"That's right. Compared to Lee Anson, it's far inferior!"
"It's just that the melody is not bad. The rest is hard to comment on."
Beside them, there were some young people who liked to listen, "What do you know? If this song is not good, then there wouldn't be any good songs! Can't you understand the message in Grandma Zhang and Auntie Yuanqi's song? "
A girl said, "That's right. It's really nice!"
A boy's eyes were filled with worship, "Grandma Zhang and Sister Zhang are too beautiful! That aura, that grace, they really don't look old at all! In the future, if anyone dares to say that they look old, I'll fight them! "
Although this song was a song about women who had aged, the message it conveyed was not only for those who had aged. It also had a special energy for young people!
Then, whether it was at the venue or in front of their televisions, many people suddenly had a question. Which master-level musician could write such a song that vividly described women? Wasn't Zhang Xia and Zhang Yuanqi's song taken off the list? Why did such a song suddenly appear? If it was composed a long time ago, it didn't make sense. Why wasn't this song taken out earlier? The Spring Festival Gala was targeted at children, teenagers, the elderly, men.... Naturally, there were women as well. This was a song about women that suited the occasion. Why wasn't it taken out earlier or later? Why did it have to be taken out after the last rehearsal?
Could it be that someone had composed it at the last minute?
It couldn't be, right? How could such an earth-shattering song be "casually" written at the last minute?
The next song began. This was a series of four consecutive singing programs. The one who appeared was a young male singer. He was also one of the most popular A-list singers at the moment. However, many people were distracted at this moment. A person's emotions were limited. Everyone had invested too much into the previous song, "Woman Flower". After that song, they naturally felt a sense of fatigue and distraction. Many people had not recovered from the atmosphere and singing of Zhang Yuanqi and Zhang Xia!
Right, there was still the voting segment!
Every year, the Spring Festival Gala would have a voting segment!
According to previous years, ignoring the various categories of programs, basically, the program that obtained first place in the voting would always be a language program, such as crosstalk or skits. Skits were the majority. There was no way around it. This was what the audience loved to watch. It was suitable for all ages and covered a wide range of people. Furthermore, with the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, everyone liked happy things and works. Language programs naturally had an overwhelming advantage!
But this year...
Quite a number of middle-aged people logged onto the webpage and began voting!
Every year, even they would vote for the language programs. But this year, they wanted to vote for the singing program, "Woman Flower"!
Everyone knew that the final number of votes for a singing program would definitely not be able to surpass that of a language skit. Even if this year's skit program was worse, even if "Woman Flower" was sung well, it was basically unrealistic. However, they still voted for "Woman Flower". It was not for anything else, but for the two great women who moved everyone! Zhang Yuanqi and Zhang Xia had withstood the pressure and done it. They had also told the world of their perseverance and dedication! Then, the audience suddenly had the urge to tell everyone, to tell the entire country, to tell the world that they were not old! Each and every one of them was a blooming flower! Even at the end of their lives, they could still contribute their strength to the world!
So what if they were 30 years old?
So what if they were 50 years old?
So what if they were 70 years old?
So what if they were 90 years old?
Even if no one understands us, even if we are narcissistic, even if everyone thinks that we are outdated and old, so what!
We will speak for ourselves!
