Had they missed some plot twist? Was it love or hate, or did Zhang Yue’s explosive temper just rage against crosstalk feuds, or… Or had Lin Yang’s antics truly been so captivating that even the junior disciples were caught up and overshadowed by his aura?! The host was momentarily shocked, then quickly thought, this could be a highlight moment. Quickly, he handed the microphone to Teacher Wang, trying to smooth things over: “I believe Teacher Wang definitely memorized his lines this morning?” Teacher Wang: “……………………” Memorized? Memorized what at all?! At almost the same time, Qi Shejiang was also at the performing arts stage, preparing for the recording of the small new year’s eve show.
The performing arts show lasted about five to six hours when aired, and there had been rehearsals before; however, with so many people, it dragged on too long, and some guests might have even rescheduled their rehearsals. Qi Shejiang didn’t get to see all the guests every time. For example, Mo Gan, he was only meeting with him for the first time tonight.
The two had long shared a spiritual connection; Qi Shejiang had learned Mo Gan’s singing segments, and Mo Gan had also seen Qi Shejiang’s imitations and praised him. This praise was not just ordinary praise; for Qi Shejiang at that time, given his situation, it was quite beneficial.
“Teacher Mo,” Qi Shejiang greeted respectfully, “I should have visited you long ago.
“Qi Shejiang, your performance will attract not just enthusiasts but also a broader audience eager to see what you bring to the stage.” Mo Gan continued, encouragingly.
Qi Shejiang felt a wave of reassurance wash over him from Mo Gan’s words, boosting his enthusiasm for the performance ahead.
Zeng Wen and Meng Jingyuan also arrived, both having crosstalk programs to perform. They were acquainted with Mo Gan since they were all part of the folk arts community, albeit in different disciplines.
As the audience began to enter the venue, the slots for the folk arts stage gala included family members, longtime viewers, and those gathered through online recruitment. This year’s online recruitment was particularly coveted as everyone wanted to see Qi Shejiang. Due to the news surrounding him, the attention for this gala had significantly increased.
