I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 242 241. The Lost Authentic Tai Chi? The Performance Officially Begins!
Sunday.

Morning!

Jiang Chen got up early in the morning as usual, at around seven o'clock. After having breakfast with Yan Ruyu and Han Qing, he returned to his room and stood in the living room to practice boxing and exercise.

Although he has been busy every day recently, Jiang Chen still insists on practicing boxing every day. The effect of physical exercise is much better than simply running before.

Jiang Chen felt much more relaxed, as if he had found his youth again. His body felt much more comfortable and relaxed, and his breathing became smoother.

Han Qing also started a live broadcast in the morning, and aimed the camera at Jiang Chen who was practicing boxing in the living room.

Millions of viewers quickly flooded into the live broadcast room, and the number continued to increase rapidly. Everyone had become accustomed to watching Jiang Chen boxing, as they had already seen it two days ago.

"Mr. Jiang's Tai Chi seems to be different from the ones performed by the grandpas and grandmas in the park."

"There is a special kind of beauty in watching Lao Jiang practice boxing."

"Yes, there is a kind of beauty in Lao Jiang's boxing. It seems that every movement is full of harmony and natural breath, and his body movements are very natural and beautiful."

"Old Jiang has already started his retirement life."

"I haven't watched Lao Jiang sing live for a few days. Are you concentrating on preparing for the live broadcast this afternoon?"

"Old Jiang, are you confident about tonight's game?"

"Lao Jiang, I saw a message from Kailin and Axel on the Internet saying that Chinese singers are too weak. You must win."

"Old Jiang..."

……

The dense barrage of comments is still extremely lively.

Most of the audience are very concerned about Jiang Chen’s live match tonight.

Of course, every audience member who supports Jiang Chen hopes that Jiang Chen can win.

Han Qing said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Jiang Chen has two performances tonight, the opening performance and the challenge competition performance later. Don't forget to watch it then."

Yesterday, the program director Guo Haitao talked to Han Qing for a few words, hoping that she could promote tonight's program in the live broadcast room or on Jiang Chen's social account to further hype up the popularity and increase the ratings as much as possible.

After all, Jiang Chen has tens of millions of fans. If they could all sit in front of the TV and watch the show, the increase in ratings would definitely be extremely obvious.

So, today Han Qing talked about Jiang Chen's performance on stage and reminded everyone to go and see it.

The comments were full of curiosity.

"Wow, Lao Jiang is so impressive, what's the opening performance? What's the performance?"

"To be honest, although Lao Jiang is a newcomer in the entertainment industry, his credentials are definitely better than any other star in the entertainment industry."

“Looking forward to Lao Jiang’s performance.”

"Old Jiang is awesome..."

……

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Jiang Chen will definitely bring everyone a surprise today. It will be completely different from the performance in the live broadcast room. Don't miss it."

During these two days, Yan Ruyu and Han Qing followed Jiang Chen the whole time, watching Jiang Chen, Pu Yuexi and the other three rehearsing. They naturally knew that the performance Jiang Chen was preparing this time would definitely bring a big surprise to everyone.

at the same time……

They also saw a different Jiang Chen, another side of Jiang Chen, and it was an absolutely surprising side. At this time, the image of Jiang Chen in their hearts became even taller and more perfect.

Looking at Jiang Chen practicing Tai Chi in the middle of the living room, they could not connect the figure in front of them, who was more familiar with Tai Chi than the old men in the park, with Jiang Chen on the stage.

At the same time, the program team carried out last-minute publicity and hype across the entire network.

Various information related to Jiang Chen topped the hot topics on major social news platforms.

"Will Jiang Chen have difficulty adapting to the new environment when he is on a variety show stage for the first time?"

"Insider information: Jiang Chen will have two wonderful performances tonight, and the production crew has been won over."

"Jiang Chen is going to the singing competition as a challenger singer. I wonder who he will challenge? I think he should pick a weak one first to gain a firm foothold. Let's choose Ye Lan."

"Two young North American singers are suppressing the Chinese music scene. Can Jiang Chen turn the tide?"

"Inside information: Jiang Chen might challenge Aix directly!"

"The Chinese Singing King Contest has come to an end. Who will have the last laugh? Can the Chinese music scene hold on to its territory?"

…………

Various hype news about the King of Singers Contest are all over the major platforms.

Guo Haitao was sitting in his office with a serious expression, paying attention to the information on the Internet while watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast. Seeing that there were 15 million people online in Jiang Chen's live broadcast room early in the morning, he once again confirmed Jiang Chen's popularity.

The loyalty of Jiang Chen's fans is absolutely beyond imagination.

Just standing there and doing Tai Chi without saying a word can attract more than 15 million people to watch. Not to mention the entire Internet, there is no one else like him in the whole world!

Tuk tuk…

There was a knock on the door.

Guo Haitao: "Come in!"

Li Haifeng pushed open the door and walked in.

Guo Haitao stood up hurriedly: "Director Li, you are here!"

Li Haifeng waved his hand: "Let me see how the preparations for tonight's performance are going?"

Li Haifeng also saw Jiang Chen’s live broadcast.

Guo Haitao said: "The program team is ready. The stage equipment is in the best condition and we can start at any time."

Li Haifeng looked at Jiang Chen on the live screen and asked, "What about the contestants' performances? Did you watch them? How is Jiang Chen preparing? Is he confident that he can stay on the stage?"

Guo Haitao shook his head: "For the sake of the show effect, each contestant's rehearsal is kept secret! I only know that the song Jiang Chen performed was his own original song, and he brought his own band to accompany it, but he used our equipment. The other contestants sang old songs."

Li Haifeng nodded and looked at Jiang Chen seriously: "What about Jiang Chen's opening performance? How is the preparation? Have you watched it? Tonight, there may be a lot of people coming to watch the performance, and they are all extraordinary."

Guo Haitao was stunned for a moment: "If there are too many people, we have to add more seats! However, new audience members do not have the right to vote."

Li Haifeng shook his head: "They don't want voting rights, they just want to watch Jiang Chen's performance. There are hundreds of them at the moment, including provincial and municipal leaders, as well as people from the Writers Association, Calligraphy Association, and several colleges and universities in the provincial capital. There are also some other celebrities and wealthy people. There are hundreds of people at the moment, and I estimate that there may be more people later."

"So, I'll reserve 150 seats."

Guo Haitao was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the backgrounds of these people, he felt a lot of pressure.

How can a variety show attract so many big leaders and top billionaires to watch it?

This is also the first time in the entertainment industry other than the Spring Festival Gala.

After all, in the eyes of those people, the entertainment industry is not worth paying attention to at all.

Now that Jiang Chen is on the show, so many people have come to watch Jiang Chen's performance.

This shows Jiang Chen's appeal and influence.

"I'll arrange it!"

Guo Haitao agreed immediately.

He couldn't refuse any of these people.

Most of them are important figures whom he normally wants to meet but cannot.

If it weren't for this opportunity, he might never meet these people in real life. Li Haifeng patted Guo Haitao on the shoulder and said, "Now many people are paying attention to your show. This represents the reputation of the Chinese music scene. If two foreigners win the championship in the end, then you won't be able to participate in the World Singing King Contest you proposed."

Guo Haitao's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly felt a lot more pressure.

If a Chinese singer does not win in the end, the Chinese copyright holder will not be able to participate in the World Singer Contest and will completely lose the opportunity to compete for this piece of cake.

It is absolutely a disgraceful thing for the Chinese music scene if a foreign singer wins the championship in the Chinese music scene, and then represents the Chinese music scene to participate in the world competition and compete for the title of World Singer King. The higher-ups don't want to see such a thing happen, so if a foreigner wins the championship, the copyright holder might as well refuse to participate in this world competition, automatically give up the qualification, and retain the last bit of dignity.

Guo Haitao nodded and said seriously: "I will try my best."

Li Haifeng looked at Jiang Chen practicing Tai Chi on the live screen again and said softly, "His Tai Chi attainments are not low."

Guo Haitao asked curiously, "Director Li also knows Tai Chi?"

Li Haifeng shook his head: "I don't understand, but my grandfather knows a little bit. He watched Jiang Chen's live broadcast and said that Jiang Chen's Tai Chi is the lost authentic Tai Chi, which is very valuable. He also wanted to visit Jiang Chen and learn authentic Tai Chi from Jiang Chen to carry forward the lost part, but I stopped him."

"But, I heard from the old man that many Tai Chi successors may come to Jiang Chen and ask him to teach them authentic Tai Chi."

Guo Haitao was stunned as he listened, as if he was listening to a martial arts novel. What is authentic Tai Chi? What is the successor of Tai Chi?
Li Haifeng smiled, looked at Jiang Chen's live broadcast and said, "When you see Jiang Chen boxing, don't you feel a sense of harmonious beauty? Every breath he takes and every punch and kick movement he makes is extremely coordinated and unified!"

Guo Haitao watched carefully, recalling all the live broadcasts of Jiang Chen boxing that he had seen, and said, "Yes, watching him boxing is not boring at all, it feels beautiful. I didn't pay attention to the other things, I don't understand them!"

Li Haifeng nodded: "That's right! It's because he has mastered the core essence of Tai Chi, so his movements and breathing are coordinated and unified, there is a harmonious beauty, the movements are extremely natural and smooth, and it looks very comfortable. This is something that other Tai Chi styles don't have now."

Guo Haitao recalled the Tai Chi performed by the elderly people that he occasionally saw in the park: "Indeed, other people's Tai Chi doesn't seem to be as good-looking as Jiang Chen's."

Li Haifeng: "That's right! Actually, I don't know much about Tai Chi. My grandfather told me about it, so I'll tell you now. Haha, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving first. I and several leaders from the station will come over tonight. Do your best and don't make any mistakes."

Guo Haitao immediately said: "Okay, I will go check the stage equipment and talk to the contestants to make sure they are ready."

Li Haifeng waved his hand, turned and left.

Guo Haitao immediately got busy, contacting Zhou Ming, Ye Lan, Yuan Caiyi, Chen Xun, Kailin, Axel and other contestants, asking them to prepare for the performance. He also contacted Han Qing separately to make sure Jiang Chen was ready.

……

Time flies and it’s already afternoon!

Jiang Chen woke up from his nap at around five o'clock. He did not go to rehearse again. An hour or so of rehearsal in the morning was enough.

After waking up from his nap, Jiang Chen wrote a novel in the study for a while, then did some exercise to warm up and performed a set of Tai Chi.

Yan Ruyu and Han Qing were both beside Jiang Chen.

Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing continued to practice their performance. They did not have Jiang Chen's absolute confidence, so they needed more practice.

After all, this was their first time performing on such a big stage, and they were all a little nervous, afraid that they would hold Jiang Chen back.

It's seven o'clock.

Pu Yuexi and the others returned to the hotel and had lunch with Jiang Chen, and then set off together to the program crew.

The show officially starts at eight o'clock.

It was already seven fifty when Jiang Chen, Pu Yuexi and others arrived at the program crew.

The entire program crew was busy.

Guo Haitao, Li Haifeng and other people from the program team were looking at the entrance anxiously - Jiang Chen hadn't arrived yet.

The other contestants had already arrived. Even Kailin and Axl, who usually arrived the latest, had already arrived more than 20 minutes ago. The only one missing was Jiang Chen.

The most important thing is that there are many more seats next to the normal audience seats. They are all the new heavyweight audience members who came today. All these heavyweight audience members have arrived.

Jiang Chen hasn't arrived yet!

Zhou Ming sat in the rest area and whispered to Luo Sheng next to him: "I don't know if Jiang Chen did it on purpose, but he came so late. He's really a big shot."

If it were anyone else, Zhou Ming would have directly accused them of being arrogant!

After all, all these superstars are here, and even the two foreign singers who usually act like big names are here.

Luo Sheng shook his head slightly: "Jiang Chen may not have done it on purpose. He is just that kind of person. He won't come too early."

Chen Xun smiled and said, "He has personality! Have you seen his rehearsal?"

Several people shook their heads!
Ye Lan: "I haven't watched it, so I don't know how it turns out. I heard he sang a new song he created himself!"

Everyone knew that Jiang Chen was singing new songs and using the accompaniment of his own band, which was incompatible with those of them who were covering old songs and using the accompaniment of the program team.

It was as if Jiang Chen himself was independent of the outside world.

And this time.

Jiang Chen walked in slowly from the entrance.

Guo Haitao had heard from the intercom that someone outside had arrived, so he hurried over, took Jiang Chen's hand and walked in quickly, whispering: "My little ancestor, you're finally here, it's going to start soon!"

Jiang Chen glanced at the time on his phone: "Isn't there still ten minutes? Am I not late?"

Guo Haitao was stunned for a moment, then said: "The official start time is indeed eight o'clock, but a lot of preparations need to be made in advance, so you must come early."

Jiang Chen asked: "What can I do when I come?"

Guo Haitao: "Be prepared in advance!"

Jiang Chen: "What are you preparing for?"

Guo Haitao was stunned for a moment and couldn't answer for a while.

because……

All the contestants need to prepare is their own performance.

But the show is about to be broadcast, so I definitely won’t be able to rehearse on stage anymore. I can only sit in the contestant rest area and wait for the time to perform on stage. The preparations before the broadcast are all done by the staff of the program team.

and so……

It was really useless for the contestants to arrive early, they could only sit there and wait.

The only purpose is to let the production team see that Xuan Shuo is here, so they don't have to worry about this contestant's absence.

Guo Haitao was silent for a few seconds, unable to answer Jiang Chen's question. He stopped dwelling on the question. Jiang Chen was here anyway and wasn't late, so he asked, "How are the preparations for the performance going? You will be the first to go on stage for the opening performance!"

Jiang Chen nodded: "No problem!"

Guo Haitao glanced at the newly added audience area and whispered, "You can't let me down today. Many people came here just to watch your performance!"

Jiang Chen glanced at the audience seats over there and immediately saw some familiar faces.

However, the assistant director's voice came from Guo Haitao's intercom: "Director Guo, there are ten minutes left. Everything is ready. We will start immediately. Let Jiang Chen and his band make the final preparations and be ready to go on stage at any time."

Guo Haitao glanced at Jiang Chen, Pu Yuexi and the others again and asked, "Are you ready? What else do you need?"

Jiang Chen felt that he was ready and didn't need anything, so he turned around and looked at Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia and the others.

Pu Yuexi also immediately shook her head: "No need, we are all ready, just bring our instruments up!"

Guo Haitao nodded and looked at them again. He swallowed his words to ask them to put on makeup. After a closer look, he was amazed. His attention was on Jiang Chen just now, but now he looked carefully at Pu Yuexi and the others, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

These people look really good when they dress up, and with their outstanding talents and temperament, they definitely have the potential to become very popular.

Jiang Chen was also dressed more formally, wearing a suit without a tie and a white shirt underneath. His hair was neatly combed, having been carefully styled by Han Qing and Yan Ruyu. It looked simple yet artistic.

Guo Haitao took Jiang Chen, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia and others directly to the stage.

They were the first to perform and it was about to start in a few minutes, so they just waited on the stage.
