Chapter 861 Shock and Impact
A few days later.
The completed art performance hall is now ablaze with lights and splendor.
The dignitaries from various local forces in the Xuanqing Continent who held invitations were dressed in costumes and entered the venue in order.
Among these dignitaries, there are emperors and queens of large empires, kings of small and medium-sized kingdoms; businessmen with astonishing wealth; powerful lords with high positions; and elder representatives of multiple sects.
The audience who entered the performance hall were all well-known and upper-class people.
By the way, what are they here for?
Of course, I am an audience member, watching this artistic performance organized by the "Purification Team" with great anticipation.
Zhou Ming, who hosted and planned this cultural evening, was also very well prepared. He not only rehearsed multiple programs, but also conducted rehearsals three times, and the results were more satisfactory each time.
The content of the rehearsal program was also wonderful. The lighting, choreography, music, soundtrack, etc. were all perfect.
An extremely exciting, audio-visual and sensory feast-like literary evening was presented to the audience of Xuanqing Continent.
So what exciting programs are there?
There are 21 songs, including the singles "Happiness" and "Beer Shuang"; there are "Transparent Color", "Uniform" and "The Other Side of Freedom" sung by the group Zilli Doll 46; there is "The Other Side of Freedom" sung by the five-person group of young ladies. "Nobody"; and the closing song "Unforgettable Tonight"...all are classics.
There are 7 cross talk sketches, including the classics "Selling Kidnappers", "Kung Fu", "To Help or Not to Help", "Fighting the Tiger", etc., all of which are down-to-earth versions modified according to local customs and context.
There are 5 dance performances, including "Peacock Dance", "Thousand-Hand Guanyin", etc., which are very visually stunning.
2 acrobatic magic shows.
There is one scene opera, which is the very old-fashioned "Seven Swordsmen", but because of the god-level strength of Zhou Ming and others, they created a lot of special effects, so it is extremely classic and shocking.
In this way, the entire artistic evening lasted for a full 5 hours!
Although these five hours seemed a bit too long, almost no one of the more than 100,000 spectators in the venue went to the toilet midway. It can be said that there was no peeing spot during the whole process.
These high-status viewers have no image of power at this moment. Their most common behaviors are: widening their eyes hard for fear of missing a shocking scene; pricking their ears hard for fear of missing a note; opening their mouths hard to hide themselves. The shock on his face.
"Papa papa ~"
And clapping their palms hard until their palms turn red to show their satisfaction.
By the time the party was over, the audience was frantically scrambling for a spot in the toilet, and they all sighed:
"I've never seen such a wonderful... show, yes, they call it a show."
"After watching this party, I realized how outdated and boring the classical songs and dances in my palace were. However, I still felt good about myself. Now it seems that the dancers in my palace are just second-class and second-class dancers. They are rubbish; all the musicians in my court are just rubbish making noise."
"It's so high-end. Every program is extremely high-end. They are all programs that only gods can enjoy."
"At this moment, I felt inferior. I even felt that I was not a noble, but an ignorant country bumpkin. For the first time, I felt my own insignificance, as well as... stupidity and ignorance. For the first time, I felt something in my heart. of humility.”
"It's so shocking. I have never been so shocked in my life. My eyes that were blinded by arrogance saw the light again and saw things on a whole new level."
"Oh my God~! I can't go back, I can't go back at all. I ran too far. What if I can't see such a wonderful party in the future? What should I do?"
the other side.
Through the real-time broadcast of radio and television broadcasts, the grand occasion of this artistic evening was simultaneously received by countless listeners in front of radios and countless viewers in front of televisions.
Subsequently, on countless TV commentary programs, hosts and experts launched heated discussions about this party.
An expert lamented: "Our Xuanqing Continent has always shown itself to be 'civilized'. We have always thought that our technology is the most advanced, and our culture is the most developed and civilized. Now it seems that this is not the case! There are also more advanced ones outside. Technology and more advanced culture. Compared with them, to some extent, we are relatively backward. I know this is hard to accept, but it is undeniable. This is a fact. At least I have never seen such a shocking party. .”
"Yes, because of being too optimistic and self-satisfied, our technology has not made significant progress for hundreds of thousands of years; at the cultural level, we have been stuck in the same old routine, with little innovation! Today, we have opened our eyes , brand-new song forms, never-heard music, shocking dances, gorgeous sets and beautiful special effects... these are all things worth learning! We can no longer consider ourselves advanced!"
Some experts were noncommittal: "We don't have to be too presumptuous. The culture of outsiders has its advanced aspects, and our culture also has many advantages of reaching the extreme. I was not shocked by their performance. On the contrary, I also saw There are many routine things, and those routines are not uncommon. If our advanced culture is presented to them, they will definitely be shocked... Their art has reached the extreme on a different path from ours, and then uses what we are not familiar with. situation, a cultural raid was staged, and it was obvious that their goal was achieved."
"No no no."
Another expert retorted: "I know it hurts to admit being behind, but I have to say that compared to their heavenly songs, most of our music does sound like noise; compared to their carefully crafted drama In comparison, our actors' facial makeup is too serious, like a group of singing and moving zombies, which makes people sleepy! What about their actors? Each of them has rich expressions, lively movements, and sincere emotions. That is what we call real. Performances are called real art. Compared with them, many of our art forms are simply garbage that should be eliminated!"
Boom~!
As soon as the expert's words came out, they immediately caused an uproar!
The next day, an old figure in the art circle wrote an article and fiercely refuted it!
The old master said in the article:
"In the face of the cultural invasion of outsiders, our experts did not be vigilant or take precautions. Instead, they were willing to be the pawns of outsiders. Under the impact of some low-level and vulgar culture, their knees weakened, their minds became confused, and they began to abandon their own We have an excellent culture and have to become spiritual slaves to outsiders. This is dangerous. This is a war comparable to real swords and real guns!"
"We have to defend our culture and be wary of the conspiracies of outsiders. It's best to expel them all and never let them succeed!"
"My compatriots, the soft-footed shrimps who have been confused by outsiders' culture, the most dangerous moment has arrived, wake up quickly!"
boom!
As soon as this article came out, the entire public opinion circle exploded and fell into a fierce debate.
