Zeng Wen laughed heartily, “You guessed right. I’m here to tell you good news! Didn’t you submit a lot of materials and scripts? Your Uncle Meng has been keeping an eye on that matter. Thankfully, it coincided with this batch; it’s roughly been finalized…”
As the New Year approached, various events needed to be prepared.
The variety show on the performance arts channel is generally considered one of the least anticipated among the various TV stations, as their audience group is quite small.
In previous years, netizens would discuss the program lists of other TV stations back and forth, but this year, surprisingly, the program preview for the performance arts channel actually topped the real-time search rankings.
The reason was simple; this program list included Qi Shejiang.
Qi Shejiang wasn’t new to the performance arts channel; he had been introduced before as a “young crosstalk actor.”
This time, the performance arts channel’s small New Year’s Eve Gala featured a program titled “Gathering of Heroes” among a large array of opera segments. The performers in this program are all renowned figures. They’re representatives of different performance art genres, coming together for a joint performance.
However, among this celestial lineup, there was a “Qi Shejiang” inserted in. Although he was placed at the end, he was still included. Once discovered, it spread widely, and everyone was quite astonished. On that joint performance list, it was clear he was not there to perform crosstalk but to sing.
Qi Shejiang sings well; that goes without saying. However, in comparison to other renowned figures and representatives, he simply didn’t have enough weight. It would even be better to let him sing a solo segment.
It’s unclear whether it would be Peking Opera, Bian Opera, or da gu. Whether it’s singing Jingju or Bianxi, or even Dagu, it’s quite marvelous, right? You guys don’t need to react this strongly. Jesse just sings well. Adding to the amazingness, I think it wouldn’t have been controversial to arrange a separate program for him; just being listed alongside others… Look for yourselves, these are all representative figures of each genre. That seems unlikely, right? It must have been through relationships that Tang Shuangqin secured this; this director knows Tang Shuangqin. What is Qi Shejiang’s level in Jingju?
