Chapter 248
"That's the difference between a singer and a musician."

On Weibo, after listening to "Singing the Motherland", the editor-in-chief of "Jinling Daily" Yang Shuo said:
"For a singer's work, what matters is whether the melody is easy to hear, whether it is catchy, and whether the style of music is in line with the current popularity."

"A singer must have a natural and extraordinary voice, and he must sing better than others. The lifeblood of a singer is sales and charts, and he often does not make any contribution to artistry. It is just a fast food. Everyone thinks that you sing well. Listen to your singing, and leave after listening."

"Musicians, on the other hand, don't need to have a voice that exceeds that of ordinary people. As music artists, they value artistry and use music as a medium to express themselves. Through music, they can hear the profound connotation of the musician himself."

"Musicians' works pay more attention to the arrangement and arrangement of instrumental music. Unlike singers who need to show off their voices beyond ordinary people's emphasis on their voices in their works, and use instrumental music as a foil, sound is only a part of instrumental music in musicians' works. In music Wisdom and foresight can always be seen in the works of musicians, and their ability to control music to express themselves is convincing. This is essentially different from the "good-sounding" pursuit of singers. Musicians' works often have a wide range of social effects, such as "Defending Yellow River", and this song "Singing the Motherland".

"We can foresee that these two songs will become the spiritual symbol of a generation!"

"When a singer breaks free from fast food and achieves artistic success, or a musician achieves astonishing commercial success, a legend is often born."

At this very moment, both online and offline are praising Liao Yuan's performance in the Spring Festival Gala.

And in the capital city, in a certain community.

At this moment, for the first time on the TV, Liao Yuemin, Dong Qing and his wife, who intuitively felt their son singing, were all speechless.

While being proud, he felt extremely sad at the same time. The two emotions overlapped, and the eyes of the two elders couldn't help but cry quietly.

"Are the dumplings ready?"

"It's finished, just wait for my son to come home!"

Liao Yuemin put down his chopsticks, "When did he come back?"

"After the show."

Dong Qing quietly wiped away tears, forced a smile and said: "I will definitely come back."

"Where is Meiyun?"

"Meiyun will come back tomorrow. Although they can't perform at home, their team has been invited to the Guangdong branch venue..."

The Spring Festival Gala is still in full swing, and many people have long been too sleepy to keep their eyes open, but in order to wait for their favorite artists to perform, many people are trying to keep their eyes open, waiting for the turn of the new year, the arrival of twelve o'clock.

After Liao Yuan's performance ended, another 10 minutes later, the screen was switched to the Guangdong branch venue. People were surprised to see that the 101 members of the Lucky Girl 11 group were singing and dancing at the branch venue, except for the classic dance song "Nobody "Besides, the song "Looking Up at the Starry Sky" also made the local people look happily.

And at the statistics office of the CSM rating agency in the CCTV building, Hou Yujun, the director of the station, was standing behind the statisticians with his hands behind his back, looking at the ever-rising curves and numbers on the statistics platform.

Next to him, Sheng Wen, the director of CCTV's comprehensive channel, was amazed: "In the past few years, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala have been high and low, and the highest is about 45%. The ratings, but then fell back shortly thereafter, until Liao Yuan came on stage, it was only 38%! But when Liao Yuan came on stage, tsk tsk, the ratings just kept going up. "Defending the Yellow River", It pushed the ratings to 31%. The second song "Ode to the Motherland" was even more incredible. The ratings soared to 40%, and the national ratings accounted for 47%. Nearly 85 million people in the country are watching it. It's crazy. Terrible, this does not include overseas users and online users!"

Sheng Wen continued to say: "Southern audiences have always been difficult to serve. In previous years, the audience ratings of the Spring Festival Gala in Guangdong, Donghai, and southern Fujian have always been very low, but this year is completely different. Especially It is Guangdong Province, almost all Cantonese people have contributed a share of the ratings, and judging from the data, Hong Kong and some overseas regions are also watching the Spring Festival Gala now..."

The more he talked, the happier he was, holding his mobile phone and saying: "Liao Yuan has become a cultural symbol, and the five-star red flag is being sent out everywhere on the Internet. He alone can drive 10% of the national ratings! It’s an incredible achievement.”

"Oh, yes."

Sheng Wen thought of something, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, do you know who this Liao Yuan's parents are?"

Hou Yujun came back to his senses and asked in surprise, "Who?"

"I also just received the news."

Sheng Wen said: "Liao Yuan's father is a famous domestic musician, songwriter Liao Yuemin..."

Hou Yujun was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized it, his eyes lit up: "Is Liao Yuan Dong Qing's son?"

"Yes, it is Dong Qing's son!"

Sheng Wen laughed loudly: "This Dong Qing can also be regarded as the old host of our CCTV. He has cultivated such an outstanding son without making any noise, and he is completely silent, but he is really calm!"

Hou Yujun nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad."

He remembered Minister Guo's entrustment before, and became more satisfied with Liao Yuan.

This Liao Yuan can win the favor of the chief, and his future achievements may be more than just a simple musician.

While thinking, he said, "Sheng Wen, isn't your channel planning to launch a public welfare variety show recently?"

"You mean "Looking Home"?"

Sheng Wen was startled.

The variety show "Looking Home" is a large-scale public welfare tracing operation that CCTV's comprehensive channel is about to launch recently. It is the first large-scale public welfare tracing program that uses state power and all media in the country. The public welfare column focuses on conveying the most precious family affection, kindness, love and friendship in the world.

It can be predicted what position this program will occupy in the history of variety shows.

"Looking for Home" is insurmountable because it has a national information platform and broadcasting platform.

Because only CCTV can effectively integrate and gather such social resources, and have the strength to initiate and mobilize the search for the whole city and even the whole country.

Sheng Wen said thoughtfully: "There is such a preparation, why?"

Hou Yujun asked, "Have you found the host?"

Sheng Wen said: "I found it, it's the old host of our station, Zhang Ping."

Hou Yujun said: "Zhang Ping has bad legs and feet, so don't bother her when she's old. I think Dong Qing is quite suitable."

Sheng Wen said with a smile, "Dong Qing is indeed within our consideration, but since she stepped back behind the scenes, we didn't think about bothering her anymore. She is full of fame and fortune now."

"One cannot be idle all the time. Dong Qing is only in his early 50s. It is inappropriate to retire so early."

Hou Yujun smiled slightly: "CCTV still needs Teacher Dong to continue to shine in front of the screen!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Wen nodded and said, "Since you have spoken personally, Director, after the Spring Festival, I will go to Teacher Dong's house in person."

The Spring Festival Gala time is gradually passing.

Soon, twelve o'clock will come.

The four hosts began to appear together to tell the time on the hour.

When the last second of 2021 passed, the zero o'clock rang, and 2022 finally arrived.

At this moment, the TV camera turned to all parts of the country, and there were brilliant scenes of fireworks everywhere.

And under such a grand fireworks sky.

Liao Yuan, who was pushing the suitcase, stood in front of the gate of his own community for the first time after many years.
