Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 200 King of Ratings

……

……

The New Year's Eve party has officially begun.

The Happy Family and the Day Day Brothers made a collective appearance as the hosts for tonight's event.

The show opened with a performance by three little ones: "Heart" and "Pet Love," which greatly excited the mothers, whose screams echoed throughout the venue.

It's a pity that the slow-motion sequence of 'left hand, right hand' is missing.

"There were backing vocals, and overall it was still a live performance. It's a pity that there were quite a few off-key notes, but it's still worth encouraging."

Gu Qing sat in the chair, enjoying the program on the screen.

After that,
Zhang Liangying's performances of "Hungry Wolf Legend," "The Dava Dance," and "My Appearance" were a showstopper.

Before falling into evil ways, Hua Chenyu performed "The Outsider" and "We Are All Lonely," demonstrating impressive singing skills among young singers.

Teacher Han Hong delivered a performance worthy of a CD:
"Come On" and "Hometown" give people a small but powerful artistic impact.

But what made Gu Qing unable to hold back the most was...
It was another family appearance by Xiaolu, performing "The King Asked Me to Patrol the Mountain" and "The Auspicious Three Treasures".

The sweet and loving atmosphere drew continuous cheers from the audience.

Thankfully, it didn't last two years, or it would have been hell.

Before we knew it, the New Year was coming to an end.

"Teacher Gu Qing, it's your turn to go on stage."

Gu Qing got up and, guided by the staff, quietly walked backstage to prepare for the performance.

At the front of the stage, the noise continued, but the heartstrings of all the audience and fans were quietly tightening, and their expectations were silently rising to their peak.

A tense silence hung in the air, waiting for that name to be uttered.

at last,

With a smile and excitement on his face, Mr. He, the host, delivered a powerful and infectious voice that resonated throughout the venue through the microphone:
"Next, let's give our nation's little brother a round of applause and cheers—Gu Qing!"

The moment the announcement ended, it was as if a fuse had been lit.

The entire venue erupted in cheers!

"Ahhhhh!!"

A deafening roar of screams, shouts, and applause erupted, converging into a near-tangible torrent of sound that violently crashed against the dome and walls of the venue.

The sheer volume and fervor of the cheers far surpassed that of any previous celebrity appearance, truly threatening to upend the entire venue.

"Gu Qing! Gu Qing! Gu Qing!"
The Gu family members' shouts were unified, like the beating of war drums, announcing the arrival of their king.

The stage lights suddenly dimmed, leaving only a few cold spotlights that outlined the hazy figure in the center.

The melodious yet slightly melancholic ancient-style prelude of "Rings of Time" flows out like a stream.

Wisps of white mist created by dry ice rose and enveloped the edges of the stage. In the center of the stage, a huge, gnarled "ancient tree" phantom slowly appeared, its branches seemingly covered with specks of frost and snow.

A huge crescent moon, radiating a soft, clear light, hangs behind the treetops, its cool brilliance pouring down.

Huangguotai gave him almost the fullest stage design.

Amidst the swirling white mist, Gu Qing's figure gradually became clear. He wore an elegant yet noble moon-white robe, the hem of which fluttered gently in the faint air currents.

He stood quietly amidst the silhouettes of ancient trees and the crescent moon, his eyes lowered, his profile appearing refined and otherworldly in the moonlight, like a banished immortal prince who had stepped out of an ancient scroll, detached from the world.

As the prelude progresses, a group of girls dressed in flowing white dresses gracefully enter the scene like fairies from the moon palace. Their light dance intertwines with the pervasive white mist, the cool moonlight, and the phantom of gnarled ancient trees, creating a stunning dynamic picture.

Gu Qing slowly raised the microphone, and her clear, narrative voice flowed out, instantly captivating everyone's attention:
"Circles traced like fingerprints, imprinted on my lips..."

"The bitter kiss marks of memory are like tree roots..."

His singing voice carries a touch of melancholy, as if it carries the weight of time and stories, echoing in a carefully crafted moonlit fairyland.

At the climax, he tilted his head slightly, gazing at the illusory crescent moon, and his emotions burst forth:

"Counting the rings of time, I carefully seal away all my secrets..."

"Densely packed with my self-esteem..."

The voice is incredibly penetrating, filled with reminiscence, regret, and resilience, striking straight to the depths of the soul.

The stage lights changed accordingly, the moonlight seemed to grow brighter, the outline of the ancient tree appeared and disappeared in the smoke, and the movements of the female dancers became more graceful and dynamic.

The atmosphere on the entire stage was breathtakingly beautiful, reaching its peak.

In the fervent fan zone, as the camera zoomed in, some were already in tears or screaming with excitement, their light sticks forming a surging sea of ​​light.

I waved my arms vigorously to the rhythm of the song, unconsciously humming along, completely immersed in the emotional world created by the song.

Ordinary viewers weren't necessarily moved to tears, as their emotions towards the artists weren't as intense as those of fans. However, they were still deeply impressed by this feast for both the eyes and ears. Many people held their breath and took photos with their phones, their faces filled with amazement and enjoyment, immersed in the beautiful atmosphere.

Backstage waiting area or side of the stage,

"Old He, that singing..."

Even Wang Han couldn't help but praise him.

Gu Qing, in particular, possessed a cool and aloof air, and the noble air of a scholar, making him practically the person he had always dreamed of being.

Teacher He nodded slightly and proudly whispered to his partner, "The stage effects and the emotional impact are absolutely amazing! This young man is truly incredible!"

"Brother Jie, he's so handsome!!"

The little goldfish became a complete fangirl.

"The ratings have broken 2.6, ranking first in its time slot! The second-ranked channel, Moon Channel, is only at 1.95. We've got this in the bag!!"

The most excited people were in the Huangguo TV control room.

Last year, their New Year's Eve ratings were overtaken by Moon TV, and all of them had half of their year-end bonuses deducted, and they were all severely criticized.

This year, everyone is working hard, determined to get revenge and restore the kingly glory of the TV station's top anchor.

The stage design for Gu Qing speaks volumes; the sheer amount of money spent is staggering.

But in terms of the rewards received, it was undoubtedly worthwhile.

"It's a pity that no one has ever acted this script with me."

Unfortunately, no one has ever acted out this script with me…

The clear, jade-like sound of the zither complemented the mournful and poignant tone. Gu Qing drew out the last note, finished singing the last line, and slowly stopped, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

He bowed slightly in greeting.

in an instant,
"Gu Qing!!!"

The applause, screams, and cheers, which were even more enthusiastic and longer than at the beginning, swept through the entire venue like a tsunami, as if to completely ignite this fairyland under the moon.

All the lights came on, illuminating countless excited faces in the audience.

Teacher He, Xie Na, and others quickly walked onto the stage, their faces beaming with the joy unique to the New Year and their admiration for the wonderful performance.

"Thank you, Brother Gu Qing! Thank you for bringing us such a wonderful New Year's Eve!"

Teacher He's voice was also filled with excitement, "Let's give him another round of applause!"

"Little brother, don't go yet, we still have a short interview segment."

After hugging Xie Na, Gu Qing hugged Teacher He again, smiled and nodded, "Teacher He, what do you want to say?"

According to the script,
It's nothing more than reminiscing about his time filming "The Journey of Flower," giving out red envelopes to the audience, and reciting some advertising lines.

After everything is done,

Gu Qing stepped off the stage, having successfully completed her mission.

But he couldn't leave; after Brother Chun finished his performance, he still had to go on stage to celebrate the arrival of the New Year together.

at the same time,

A large number of celebrities were also gathered behind them.

Everyone greeted Gu Qing warmly as he stepped off the stage and asked for photos.

After Chris Lee finished his performance of "See You at the Next Intersection," the viewership rating dropped by 0.4.

Gu Qing went on stage surrounded by a crowd.

"This final performance is dedicated to all the wonderful performers tonight, and to every viewer here and watching on television!" Wang Han continued.

所有人齐声倒数：“10！9！8！……3！2！1！新年快乐——！”

A giant firework pattern exploded brilliantly on the stage backdrop, while real New Year's Eve fireworks roared into the sky outside the venue, illuminating the night sky through the gaps in the roof.

Ribbons and sequins poured down from the top of the stage, fluttering down like dreamy snow.

Gu Qing stood in the center of the stage, bowing and waving to the fans who supported her from all directions.

As the new year arrives,
The filming of his "Detective Chinatown" is also on the agenda.

……

……

It'll be a little later, around 4 PM. Good luck to all the students taking the college entrance exam!
