Full-time actor

Beijing in August.

The air was thick with heat, but that did not dampen the audience's enthusiasm.

In particular, when the traditional Chinese Peking Opera puppets appeared on the stage, the Chinese audience erupted in thunderous cheers and applause.

One show after another.

At this moment, the core creative team's ideas were perfectly presented to the audience.

As the final decision-maker and the key figure behind it all, Zhang Yimou was also gratified.

To highlight Chinese elements, he and his creative team spent a long time researching.

In general.

These shows have already been deified in the hearts of the audience.

However, for Zhang Yimou, who pursues perfection, he is still troubled by the formation not being neat enough or the camera angle not being centered enough.

In fact, his mindset is already somewhat harsh.

After all, these are completely insignificant in the eyes of the audience.

Time passed by minute by minute.

An unparalleled opening ceremony and a splendid display of Chinese culture.

It had already ignited the passion of everyone present.

In the live broadcast room.

The netizens' unwavering resolve began to waver at this moment.

I thought Chen Yu would participate in the opening ceremony performance, but so far I haven't seen him.

"Sure enough, the entertainment media these days love to make wild guesses; Chen Yu didn't participate in the opening ceremony performance at all."

"When it's a time of national celebration, we shouldn't overthink things."

"Could it have been shot down at the last minute?"

"So where exactly did our Brother Yu go?"

"It's probably not time for the theme song to be performed yet, everyone please wait a little longer!"

"I have to say, that show was awesome."

Zhang Yimou was keeping an eye on the current ratings, which had already reached an astonishing 40.54% since the opening ceremony had just begun.

This means that at the very moment the ceremony began, more than 8.4 million viewers across the country turned on their televisions to watch the opening ceremony.

This does not include the viewership share of the opening ceremony live broadcast.

At this moment, after seeing the discussions among netizens, Zhang Yimou became even more determined in his original idea.

That's right.

Chen Yu is now a living advertisement.

Wherever he is, the viewership ratings are practically guaranteed.

On such a joyous occasion, Chen Yu's appearance was simply the icing on the cake.

Previous programs had already created a magnificent Chinese atmosphere.

As for now.

Just as everyone's eyes were fixed on the stage, all the lights in the venue went out in an instant.

A wisp of mist rose from the very center of the stage.

In the hazy distance, a huge golden dragon floated in the clouds.

The scene left the audience speechless; the golden dragon was so lifelike that it seemed to be truly appearing before them.

"From gazing at the stars to venturing into space, humanity's journey has never ceased."

"Tonight, our exploration of the universe has already converged into a shared dream."

"At this moment, the most sacred melody of the night will soon begin. Now, let us witness this magnificent moment that will be recorded in history!"

Let the song connect us all!

"Next, please enjoy our special guest performance—"

"Descendants of the Dragon!"

Zhou Tao's voice carried great weight and a sense of ceremony, igniting a resonance among the audience and even those around the world.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the stage.

They began to wonder if Chen Yu would be the one to appear this time.

Zhang Yimou watched helplessly as the ratings continued to rise.

The comments in the live stream were entirely focused on that box office king of the entertainment industry.

Whispers filled the room.

Descendants of the Dragon?
This song reminds everyone of Chen Yu's film "Bruce Lee".

The combination of the two is indeed a pleasant surprise.

As soon as Zhou Tao finished speaking, Liu Yifei jumped up excitedly.

"Here he comes! My husband is coming out."

The whole family was waiting, and after hearing Liu Yifei's words, they didn't dare to blink for a second.

at this time--

A beam of light appeared in the stands, and the golden dragon circling in the clouds seemed to have the power to break through the sky.

It swiftly pierced the darkness.

The next second, the light shone precisely on the figure in the center of the stage.

Upright and powerful.

Just by standing there, you can feel that undeniable aura.

It's Chen Yu!
There were no fancy costumes.

Her eyes were closed, and her clothes swayed in the wind.

It stands like a pine tree.

Chen Yu demonstrated the essence of this sentence to the fullest extent.

"what--"

The entire audience was silent for a few seconds, then erupted in deafening screams and applause.

Their wait was not in vain.

Chen Yu really appeared!
Liu Yifei was so excited that she shouted. She hadn't seen Chen Yu for a long time. Since the rehearsals entered the final stage, the two had had very little contact.

Even just seeing him on TV is enough to excite Liu Yifei.

"Mom, did you see that?"

"My husband is standing on the world's top stage."

At this moment, Liu Yifei no longer cared about being reserved or not.

Their families had long since tacitly accepted their relationship.

"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Chen is really promising."

Liu Xiaoli took Liu Yifei's hand and shook her head helplessly.

This child really gets carried away when she's happy, but she doesn't want to suppress Liu Yifei's nature anymore; she's already let go of the feelings between Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.

After all, Chen Yu was a completely guiding lover.

With him by their side, there's no need to pay too much attention to many things.

Seeing Chen Yu representing China in front of the world delegation brought tears to Shen Xiaoqin's eyes.

Chen Peidong was already extremely excited.

Excited exclamations rang out every now and then, prompting Shen Xiaoqin to throw a punch at him.

"Keep your voice down, my son is about to start singing."

"All I can hear is you making a racket."

Chen Peidong looked at the TV with a smile; his family's ancestral graves were truly blessed.

The character Chen Yu emerged.

This is their son!

"Look at you, I'm just trying to make my son happy!"

The two bickered back and forth, and at that moment, because Chen Yu appeared in the center of the Olympic stage, the ratings skyrocketed.

The speed was so fast that the entire CCTV backstage was stunned.

"It's broken! It's broken!"

"The current ratings are absolutely off the charts."
