Chapter 335 A Grand Party Where Everyone Happened to Meet
Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung exchanged a smile, their superstar aura instantly radiating.
Mei Yanfang smiled.
"Then I, an old man, will sing a few old songs from their era."
Leslie Cheung's smile is so gentle it can melt ice and snow.
"Since Amei has spoken, I will naturally oblige."
Everyone had expressed their opinions, and finally, they all looked at Xiao Chen, the backbone of the show.
Looking at the sparkle in everyone's eyes, Xiao Chen finally revealed his first genuine smile of the night, a smile that was both indulgent and helpless.
"Since Sister Dandan has spoken, how can I refuse?"
He snapped his fingers at the cameraman.
"Program crew, arrange everything you can—lighting, sound, stage—the money will come from my studio's account."
With just a few simple words, he succinctly and efficiently transformed a temporary idea into an actionable plan in an instant.
The show's director was so excited he almost fell off his chair; this was an incredible ratings boost!
The atmosphere instantly shifted from somber to enthusiastic.
Everyone immediately started discussing their respective programs.
Song Dandan truly lives up to her reputation as the queen of comedy sketches; bursts of laughter frequently erupted in the courtyard.
Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung took out their guitars and sat side by side under the eaves, gently plucking the strings.
The scene was so beautiful, it looked like a still from an art film.
Yang Zi chose a sweet song and is practicing it over and over again with her headphones on.
Dilraba stretched her body in the courtyard, practicing dance moves. Her figure was light and beautiful under the moonlight.
She would steal glances at Xiao Chen from time to time, and when she saw his encouraging look, she would jump even harder.
Xiao Chen, the one who orchestrated all of this, became the most leisurely person.
He didn't say what he was going to perform; he simply appeared at the right time when everyone needed him.
He walked over to Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung and casually adjusted a chord on the guitar.
The tone immediately became more harmonious and mellow. Leslie Cheung glanced at him in surprise, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.
He walked over to Dilraba and reached out to support her waist when she lost her balance during a spin.
"Tighten your waist and abdomen, lift your center of gravity upwards, and imagine that there is a string hanging you from the top of your head."
His warm breath brushed against the girl's ear, and Dilraba's cheeks instantly turned red. Her subsequent movements were indeed much more precise.
Everyone threw themselves into this impromptu celebration, working towards a common goal.
As night deepened, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Xiao Chen sat alone in the courtyard, holding his guitar, facing the moon in the sky, and softly humming an unfamiliar melody.
The melody was gentle and melodious, carrying a comforting power.
Xiao Chen didn't fall asleep until late at night.
……
The first rays of morning sunlight had just crossed the mountains, casting golden light across this tranquil courtyard.
Xiao Chen had already gotten up. He didn't disturb anyone and just stood quietly in the courtyard.
Breathing in the fresh air, fragrant with the scent of earth, the melody of last night still seems to linger in my ears.
But his eyes were clear and full of energy.
The village chief was the first person he approached.
The simple old man looked at the young man in front of him, who was a hundred times more handsome than the one in the magazine.
Listening to his clear, humble, and polite plan, I was so excited that I didn't know what to do with my hands.
"This...this is too much trouble!"
"You're big stars from the city, how could we let you trouble yourselves for us old folks!"
Xiao Chen simply smiled, a smile as pure as a mountain spring, irresistible to anyone who wanted to refuse.
"We are not big stars, just juniors who come here to live."
"It's only right to sing and dance for our elders."
With just one sentence, he bridged the gap between everyone.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire village.
The whole village was buzzing with excitement when they heard that big stars were going to put on a free performance for the elderly people living alone in the village.
Young and strong men spontaneously came to help, carrying tables and moving chairs.
The skillful women took out the red cloth they had kept at the bottom of their trunks and hurriedly began to set up the venue.
The people in the Mushroom House also had clear divisions of labor.
Song Dandan truly lives up to her reputation as a social butterfly. Holding a megaphone, she directed the scene in a humorous local dialect.
She stirred up the atmosphere and made it lively and exciting.
Yang Zi and Dilraba became the leaders of the children, leading a group of village kids.
They wove beautiful wreaths from the wildflowers they picked, preparing to present them to their grandparents.
Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung were responsible for the most important task—comforting and inviting the elderly.
They visited each household, and when they encountered people with mobility issues, Leslie Cheung would half-squat down and patiently explain things to them.
"Grandma, shall we carry you over?"
Mei Yanfang carefully draped a coat over the elderly man, her voice gentle.
"Grandma, there are some really nice songs today, you have to come!"
The superstar aura faded at this moment; they were just two warm and kind juniors.
The director of the program looked at the scene before him, his eyes welling up with tears.
He knew that this episode of "Back to Field" would become an unrepeatable legend.
All the cameras faithfully recorded everything; there was no script, only the most genuine human emotions.
Xiao Chen is the core of the entire operation.
He seems to be everywhere, yet he never tries to steal the spotlight.
When the audio equipment malfunctioned, he fixed it in no time.
The stage backdrop wasn't smooth enough, so he climbed a ladder himself to straighten it.
His movements were always so calm and unhurried, as if nothing in the world could stump him.
As the sun sets, a simple yet cozy stage has been set up in the open space at the village entrance.
The elderly people were helped to sit in the front row, their cloudy eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.
The performance began with Yang Zi's sweet singing voice.
"A young boy, with few worries, gazes around as the sun shines..."
She sang with all her heart, her little face full of seriousness.
As the elderly listened to the familiar melody, kind smiles appeared on their faces, as if they were seeing their granddaughter working far away.
Immediately afterwards, Dilraba, dressed in a red dress and barefoot, walked onto the stage.
As the music began, she moved like a butterfly in flames, her skirt fluttering and her figure graceful.
Every spin, every leap, is filled with the power of life and the charm of the Western Regions.
The villagers had never seen such a beautiful dance before; they were all stunned and burst into applause.
Dilraba's gaze kept drifting towards Xiao Chen in the audience. Seeing the smile of affirmation in his eyes, her dance became even more confident and radiant.
Song Dandan took the microphone and sang a popular old song.
Interspersed throughout were a few witty remarks, which drew laughter from the entire audience, instantly pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
Before the laughter subsided, Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung walked onto the stage side by side.
No words were needed; the two of them simply standing there quietly was enough to turn back time.
