The script written by Ye Zhiqiu for "Chi Ling" was taken from the background story of this song in his previous life.

It is said that during the Republic of China period, the Japanese army launched a war, and the whole of China was in the darkest moment when the country was broken and the mountains and rivers were drifting.

In a place called Anyuan County, after the Japanese army attacked this place, they did all kinds of evil in the county, and there was a famous drama actor in the county, named Pei Yanzhi!

The Japanese army knew that Pei Yan was a famous actor in the county theater, so they went to the theater and asked Pei Yanzhi to give them a separate performance to comfort all the soldiers.

If Pei Yanzhi dared to refuse, then they would burn the entire theater and even the county, and everyone would die.

After Pei Yanzhi knew the Japanese army's request, he did not refuse. Moreover, the opera "Peach Blossom Fan" was specially arranged for these Japanese!

That night, the gongs and drums sounded, the curtain opened, and the good show began.

Pei Yanzhi came on stage, playing the role of "Li Xiangjun", singing "Love comes from nowhere, but it goes deep and deep", while the audience was filled with wolves, tigers and leopards, demons who kill without blinking an eye.

Because Pei Yanzhi's singing skills were excellent, and the singing of this play would become more and more tragic as the performance progressed, the Japanese soldiers who were eating and drinking in the audience were gradually infected by the style of the song and became quiet.

When the play reached its climax, "Li Xiangjun" on the stage shouted "Fire".

It turned out that this was exactly the scene Pei Yanzhi had arranged. He knew that the Japanese army would not let him and the people of this city go, so he made up his mind to burn all the invaders who came to listen to the play with a fire, and everyone died with them.

Until the enemy found out, the fire had already spread. The anxious Japanese army wanted to escape but found that the door had been blocked tightly, and the whole theater building was splashed with oil without them knowing it.

In the blazing fire, Pei Yanzhi, who had already put life and death aside on the stage, was still singing passionately.

He was singing "I watched him build a red building, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his building collapse. I once slept in this pile of green moss and tiles, and watched the rise and fall of fifty years..."

The rules left by our ancestors: once the play starts, it must be finished even if there is no one in the audience. The fact that mortals don't listen doesn't mean that ghosts and gods don't listen.

Since the invaders want to listen to the play, then listen to the ghosts and gods.

Although I am in a low position, I dare not forget my worries about the country. Everyone says that actors are ruthless, but who knows that actors also have hearts.

The authenticity of the story can no longer be verified, but the spirit and integrity in it have touched many people.

This song is about a humble actor at that time. In the face of national justice, he firmly chose to sacrifice himself and never become a slave of a conquered country!

......

On the stage, the singing is still there.

When singing the second chorus, blazing fires started from all around the stage.

This was the stage design that Ye Zhiqiu had communicated with the program team in advance.

Backstage, the chief director Liao Tao and a group of staff looked at the stage nervously.

At first, when he learned about this plan, Liao Tao, who always pursued the best stage effect, strongly opposed it.

The continuous flames on the stage were too dangerous, and Mei Ziyun had to do difficult movements. If he failed, the flames could immediately ignite their costumes.

But Ye Zhiqiu and Mei Ziyun both firmly chose not to make any changes, and Liao Tao had no choice but to compromise.

Under his feet was a row of fire extinguishers, and the program team also arranged medical staff to be on standby at any time.

Liao Tao gradually felt that even he, as a director, could not keep up with Ye Zhiqiu's rhythm.

This kid really played and was really fierce!

[People walked by the stage, no longer seeing the old colors

People on the stage sang a heart-breaking farewell song

Love is hard to write, she must sing with blood

The curtain rises, the curtain falls, and I am always a guest...]

Even though they had heard it once before, many audiences still got goose bumps when this opera tune came out.

On the stage surrounded by flames, the role played by Mei Ziyun danced more and more vigorously, as if she was going to use up the last bit of her life.

At this point, many audiences were infected by the emotions on the scene and began to wipe their tears silently.

At the moment when Ye Zhiqiu's song "I am always a guest" ended, the accompaniment music and Mei Ziyun's movements on the stage stopped abruptly.

The flames were still burning, and everyone held their breath involuntarily.

Under the shocked eyes of the crowd, Ye Zhiqiu raised the microphone, and the opera tune was still used, and the song floated again.

[You finish singing and I come on stage

Don't laugh at the romantic drama, don't laugh at people's absurdity

I once asked about the youth and the old, and I once sang the rise and fall of the country]

The role played by Mei Ziyun on the stage has a faint smile on her face and dances slowly with graceful dance moves. In the eyes of the audience, they see only two words.

—— Tragic!

[The Tao is ruthless, the Tao is affectionate, how can we think about it

The TaoRuthless, yet affectionate, and thoughtful]

As Ye Zhiqiu finished singing the last line, Mei Ziyun made a move, causing a subconscious exclamation from the audience below.

Surrounded by the flames, Mei Ziyun, who was wearing a bright red robe on the high stage, fell backwards...

Just as everyone was in a state of panic, Mei Ziyun's seemingly weak body flipped over, his feet first touched the ground, and then his back straightened, and he fell straight down.

The series of moves were smooth and the meaning was self-evident.

——The play has ended, and the audience dispersed.

The flames gradually died down, and the stage returned to calm.

After a long time, Mei Ziyun stood up from the ground and bowed with Ye Zhiqiu.

The shocked audience did not react for a long time. At first, sporadic applause came from nowhere, and gradually more and more people followed, and finally it became a sea of ​​applause and cheers.

This performance was amazing!

The comments at this moment were really going crazy.

"What are you all standing there for? Blow for me!"

"My mom asked me why I was kneeling to listen to the song..."

"That's awesome!"

"So this is 'cross-dressing', I never expected it."

"Ye Zhiqiu's big move is really amazing..."

"Does anyone know who the other dancer is? The last fall must have real skills!"

"More than real skills, it's simply a god! It's impossible to achieve this level without more than ten years of hard training!"

"After watching this, think about what Zhang Yifan sang, the difference is too big."

"Our ancestors have already told us that the most beautiful voice can never be adjusted by technical means."

The cheers from the audience had not yet stopped, and the host with a look of amazement walked onto the stage and hurriedly called Ye Zhiqiu and Mei Ziyun who were about to leave the stage.

"Zhiqiu, please stay."

Originally, there was no such segment, and the chief director Liao Tao specifically instructed it just now.

It would be a pity if she didn't stay on the stage longer with this look, and the audience was too excited now, so it would be good to calm down a little.

Ye Zhiqiu and Mei Ziyun stopped, and the female host walked over and stood beside them, looking at them carefully, with a sense of unreality in her eyes.

"I believe the songs just now have left a deep impression on everyone."

"Zhiqiu, can you explain to us the story behind this song?"

After the host finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Ye Zhiqiu on the stage.
