The intangible cultural heritage event is about to officially begin.
The official livestream room had already reached two million viewers as soon as it started.
These numbers were unimaginable in the past.
On the homepage of the Doumao platform, a banner was directly displayed:
"Promoting traditional culture, the intangible cultural heritage event officially begins!"
Clicking on the banner would directly lead to the livestream room.
"Here they come!"
"Thumbs up to the old artisans!"
"Excuse me, make way, I'm here to see the Guzheng goddess."
"I'm here for the wood carving."
"..."
The barrage was filled with fans of the recently popular intangible cultural heritage internet celebrities.
Just then, a massive wave of bullet comments appeared, overwhelming the screen.
"Tingyu fans checking in!"
"Tingyu fans +1."
"Haha, looking forward to Tingyu Da Da's new song!"
"According to official leaks, this song is again in the opera genre."
"Huangchao Entertainment just revealed that the singers are Chen Rong and Lin Yanyu, this is a mother-daughter duo."
"Haha, Tingyu is now part of Huangchao Entertainment, it's normal for him to write songs for mother and daughter."
"Do you think Tingyu writing songs for them might have ulterior motives, trying to please the mother and daughter?"
"Could it be that Tingyu is trying to break up the Yanyu CP?"
"Holy cow, don't scare me, although I like Tingyu, I also like the Su Yu and Lin Yanyu CP. I hope such melodramatic things don't happen."
"Actually, I noticed this trend a while ago. You think about it, Tingyu first wrote 'Chi Ling' for Chen Rong, then wrote 'Blue and White Porcelain' for Lin Yanyu. The lyric in 'Blue and White Porcelain,' 'The sky is blue, waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you,' isn't that a naked hint?"
"Damn it, you guys are getting more and more absurd!"
"Say whatever you want, I believe in the relationship between Lin Yanyu and Su Yu, they will definitely be together forever!"
Huangchao Entertainment's announcement of Chen Rong and Lin Yanyu, mother and daughter, as singers for Tingyu's new song directly made netizens discover something unusual.
Tingyu was undoubtedly the hottest producer currently.
And Su Yu and Lin Yanyu had been sharing so much affection that netizens had already recognized their relationship.
Moreover, Su Yu was an incredibly talented singer, who had not debuted and had never released an official song.
But netizens believed that as long as Su Yu was willing to debut, his achievements would not be lower than Lin Yanyu's. He would at least be a top-tier singer, and with his vocal skills, he could even contend with Heavenly Kings and Queens.
Both of them were outstanding.
If they were to suffer setbacks due to relationship issues, no matter who it was, netizens did not want to see it.
...
Backstage of the venue.
The resting room of the Opera Association.
The old president, Zhou Zhengming, was all smiles, his face crinkled with laughter.
The opera industry was gaining attention from young people, and as an old opera practitioner, he was very pleased.
The people below were also smiling.
Among them, the happiest was the inheritor of puppet opera, Jiang Bie.
Puppet opera includes not only wire puppetry but also rod puppetry and hand puppetry.
Jiang Bie was over sixty years old, her skill with wire puppets was extraordinary, and she was also proficient in rod and hand puppetry, making her an undisputed master of puppet opera.
"Teacher Jiang, congratulations, congratulations!"
"It seems like your puppet opera got lucky this time."
"Enviable..."
Facing everyone's envious gazes, Jiang Bie humbly replied, "Our puppet opera is originally a niche art form. Teacher Tingyu's favor in writing a song about our opera is a great merit for puppet opera."
Someone nodded and said, "Indeed, the performance difficulty of puppet opera is high. The simplest manipulation of wire puppets requires sixteen strings. This is no less difficult to practice than traditional opera."
"You've been so secretive about this song 'Qian Si Xi.' Why didn't you let us hear it first?"
"Teacher Jiang was originally retired, but she personally came out to perform for this song, which shows her recognition of Tingyu's song."
"Now I'm even more curious."
Everyone chimed in.
They were all in the opera industry. Although Tingyu's song this time was written for puppet opera, it was still promoting opera culture. While they were envious, they were naturally happy.
Moreover, this time it was Chen Rong of the Opera Association and her daughter Lin Yanyu singing together. The combination of opera and the entertainment industry, coupled with the online dispute between Tingyu and Chen Shuhao, made everyone have a subtle premonition that the song's popularity would be unimaginably high!
"Alright, don't be envious, we in the opera industry all prosper together. Now that attention is increasing, everyone will have more performance opportunities."
The old president spoke.
Then he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
His lifelong wish was to ensure that the opera industry did not lose its lineage.
Now that the situation was getting better and better, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Old President, could you ask Tingyu to write a song for our shadow puppetry too?"
The shadow puppetry inheritor, who had been silent for a long time, asked shyly, rubbing his hands.
Shadow puppetry and puppet opera are both intangible cultural heritage and are almost on the verge of being lost.
Now, seeing that puppet opera was about to become popular, he couldn't help but feel eager.
"Ahem... let's wait and see if that kid Tingyu has time."
The old president almost spat out his tea.
This couldn't be agreed to directly.
There were so many types of opera. If every genre wanted a song, where would the association get so much money...
Moreover, Su Yu had now become Lin Zhaoyang's son-in-law.
He was the ace producer of Huangchao Entertainment.
With just this identity, one would have to be prepared for a significant financial outlay to ask him to write a song.
However, this kid was truly good.
Every time, he sold the full copyright to the Opera Association.
As time went by, overall, the association was making a huge profit.
The Opera Association also had its pride. One or two songs from others were favors, but being greedy would be excessive.
...
The actors' lounge.
Lin Yanyu and her mother Chen Rong were doing their makeup.
Taught by Chen Rong since childhood, Lin Yanyu had a foundation in opera.
Although not as professional as opera actors, it was sufficient for a singer.
"Yanyu, are you nervous?"
Chen Rong had already put on her makeup and was changing into her opera costume.
"A little, after all, it's my first time performing on an opera stage officially..."
Lin Yanyu wasn't nervous on a brightly lit stage.
But the opera stage made her suddenly a bit nervous.
"It's okay, relax. This time we are responsible for singing, and the main performance will be those puppets," Chen Rong comforted.
"Mmm-hmm."
Lin Yanyu nodded.
"By the way, have you really decided to live together with Su Yu?" Chen Rong suddenly asked.
After speaking, she looked at Lin Yanyu with a calm expression.
"I... I suppose so." Lin Yanyu's pretty face turned red, then, she suddenly thought of something and quickly asked, "You guys won't object, will you?"
"Heh heh, don't worry, your father and I both approve of your relationship. Otherwise, why would your father buy a house?" Chen Rong came to Lin Yanyu, looked at her shy little face, and chuckled softly.
Then, she squatted down, pinched her face, and said gently, "Although you're not yet of marriageable age, we can wait until things calm down after this busy period and find a time to finalize your marriage with Su Yu. It would be better for you to live together without attracting gossip."
After speaking, she quietly looked at Lin Yanyu, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, her lively and adorable daughter had reached the age to get married.
"Okay!"
Lin Yanyu's eyes reddened as she felt Chen Rong's gaze.
She had long decided to spend her life with Su Yu.
She firmly believed that Su Yu felt the same.
There was no reason, it was a resonance of souls.
