Chapter 1183: Chapter 1019: Though Lowly, I Dare Not Forget My Sorrow for The Nation_2 Chapter 1183: Chapter 1019: Though Lowly, I Dare Not Forget My Sorrow for The Nation_2 The actors on stage, however, remained unfazed.

The central performer, clad in a red robe, continued to sing, her lips moving in the same arc as Jiang Kui’s.

In a trance.

It seemed as though the animated character and Jiang Kui on the stage merged into one, with a single operatic tone transforming into a blade, piercing the hearts of countless people!

“Under the stage people walk by

No longer seeing familiar faces

On the stage people sing

A heart-wrenching farewell song

The character of emotion is hard to capture with ink

She sings, needing to mix it with blood

The curtain rises

The curtain falls

Who is the guest?”

Jiang Kui sings not a song, but an opera!

It is an operatic score, filled with a poignant penetrating power, a determination that sets aside life and death!

The so-called opera performer’s sacrifice, is the performer dressed in red.

Yet now, as flames rise, the red becomes even more glorious amidst sorrow!

The phrase “Though lowly, I cannot forget my country” at the climax of the main verse and this scene before us echo each other perfectly!

The red of the opera performer is not just the red of her attire, but also the red of the flames, and her way of “forgetting the woes of the country” is to perish alongside these enemies before her!

Even if it’s tragic!

Even if unknown!

On the spot!

Live-streaming!

Every viewer was stunned!

They felt chills all over!

Su Juan’s body trembled slightly, influenced by Jiang Kui’s singing!

What a song!

The operatic score blends into the singing seamlessly, merging with the story in the song to create an even greater impact!

Amid this shock.

The main verse resounds a second time.

Suddenly, the flames on the stage vanished.

Still a performer on the stage singing, but below were not soldiers, not invaders, but ordinary common folk.

The opera continues.

The common folk clapped and cheered!

Ah, so this was a scene from before the war…

The viewers felt poignant, understanding the story conveyed by the scene.

The beautiful past, in sharp contrast with the current tragic state.

Accompanied by the resounding song, lyrics that initially felt ordinary took on new meaning the second time around, especially when the passionate operatic score sounded again—

Some viewers stood up!

Some more emotional viewers even had eyes brimming with tears.

For Blue Star, the concept of country isn’t clear, but human emotions are universal.

Under such circumstances.

It’s inevitable to be moved by the people and emotions in the story.

The fire could no longer be controlled, engulfing the soldiers who had been behaving rampantly earlier.

Among them, those who had bullied the common folk most ruthlessly screamed and rolled in the intense flames.

The scar-faced soldier who had earlier thrown silver bars toward the stage rushed onto the platform, his body aflame, crazily stabbing his sword into the abdomen of the opera performer in red.

With a squelch.

The tip of the sword appeared behind her back, dripping with blood.

The music suddenly ceased, and the flaming stage seemed to host a silent play.

Silence!

Utmost quietude!

She fell, silently.

An unknown performer, yet she revealed a smile.

And after this silent pause, the music suddenly reappeared, even more tragic, causing everyone’s barren eardrums to tremble again!

“You finish your part and I enter the scene

Do not mock the play of romance

Do not laugh at human folly

Once asked about fortunes

Once sang lustily about rise and fall

The way of no emotion

The way of emotion

How should one ponder?”

Jiang Kui sang to the end, the flames actually burning on the stage, and not just on the screen!

This is the technological effect of the Wei Continent’s stage.

But at this moment, people almost forgot it was just an effect.

People yelled, countless were shouting, but Jiang Kui’s voice grew fainter, slowly:

“The way of no emotion…”

“The way of emotion…”

“Too hard to ponder…”

Flames consumed the stage, hiding her figure until the music completely settled, and the effects ceased, she then stood there again.

Still in a red robe.

Facing the audience, she slightly bowed.

…

Su Juan’s body slumped.

Jiang Kui.

She was incomparable.

The seven judges, unnoticed before, had stood up, applauding simultaneously.

Then.

The entire auditorium erupted in applause.

Surprisingly, no one was whispering.

This was everyone’s respect for this performance.

…

Inside the live broadcast room of Qin Continent.

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

This song, Jiang Kui had rehearsed three times.

Ideally, she should have practiced more, but Lin Yuan was worried about emotional overspending, so he always had Jiang Kui hold back.

Jiang Kui did it.

Although she had only rehearsed three times, she fully exploded on stage without a hint of rawness!

Objectively speaking, is “The Opera Performer’s Sacrifice” a good song?

It definitely is not bad.

The Devil Tan Jing covered it.

The top opera master Li Yugang covered it.

Li Yugang even sang a symphonic version of this song.

Different people have different interpretations of these covers, and Lin Yuan has his own.

He changed some of the arrangements.

For example, the gap at the end of the song.

When the opera performer falls, dying together with the enemy, the world becomes quiet, which wasn’t arranged in the original.

The effect was not bad.

Because after that, the stage’s fireworks would complement Jiang Kui’s singing and elevate it.

“Don’t mock the play under the moonlight, don’t laugh at people’s foolishness, who once sang triumphantly, who claimed opera performers only sing of backyard flowers?”

Different eras.

There’s always someone in their own way, sacrificing and burning brightly.

The lowliness of status, and the nobleness and ignobility of personality, are always two different things.

Back to the previous question.

So, is “The Opera Performer’s Sacrifice” considered a good song?

Definitely good, but not particularly special.

However, the effects of a song in different environments and atmospheres, even with different singers, are completely different.

Jiang Kui elevated the limit of this song.

Whether it was her opera style or the singing in the verse section, she quickly captured the audience’s heart.

Coupled with the scene and stage arrangement, the song ultimately presented this effect, thus making it the best stage performance today given the circumstances!

If it were someone else, it wouldn’t have the same effect.

Even if it were a so-called better song, it might not have the same impact.

What specific effect?

The lively audience comments in front of Lin Yuan are the best answer!

The comments have gone crazy!

The refresh rate is so high that it’s hard to keep up!

“Ah ah ah ah ah!”

“Although it’s cliché, I still want to say…”

“Mom asks me why I’m kneeling to listen to the song!”

“I cried listening to it…”

“How can a single song be so heartbreaking…”

“People say harlots are heartless and performers are untrustworthy, but today’s performance, I’m convinced!”

“When the opera voice came out, it was a thrilling rush to the Heavenly Spirit Cover!”

“Kneeling to Fish Papa!”

“Jiang Kui damn is the real Devil!”

“Su Juan’s performance got completely crushed, okay!”

“I thought Fish Papa was exaggerating, now I know it’s not, Zhao Ying Ge and Xia Fan must have been harshly criticized!”

“No wonder Jiang Kui is the top female singer of Yu Dynasty!”

“A queen of song, this is a queen!”

“The singing profoundly interprets the song, so powerful it’s terrifying!”

“Su Juan: At that moment I was extremely afraid!”

…

Not only the audience in Qin Continent is boiling!

Other continent’s live streams have gone crazy too!

Almost every continental host is exclaiming in their live streams!

“Perfect singing!”

“This song is unbeatable!”

“It could totally compete in the finals!”

“The women from Yu Dynasty are clearly enchanting!”

“We used to say Zhong Continent singers were the dark forces; turns out Yu Dynasty is the real dark force!”

“This Jiang Kui is the leading… big sister!”

“Such a young girl, how can her singing be so lethal!”

“Although it’s inappropriate for me as a Yan Continent native to say this, I declare, I’m a fan of Jiang Kui now!”

…

Wait.

There’s one live stream room that hasn’t gone mad, nor is it boiling.

It’s the Zhong Continent live stream.

In Zhong Continent’s live room, it’s eerily silent.

The male announcer is covering his head, as if having a lot to say, yet as if choked up.

The female announcer’s face is deathly pale, her lips trembling on live broadcast.

“This song…”

The male announcer’s expression twisted, he started with three words and then stopped.

“This song…”

The female announcer wanted to continue saying something but also stopped, like a repeat machine.

Instead, on the comment screen.

Comments from Zhong Continent’s audience gradually densify.

Some of the most upvoted comments turned red.

This is a small design of Zhong Continent, allowing the host to interact with popular comments, and the hottest comment reads:

“Devil…”

Inside the Qin Continent live room, someone mentioned the word “Devil” too, and coincidentally, also in red upvotes.

Bodies tingling, Fragrant says: “They say Jiang Kui is the Devil…”

Looking at Lin Yuan, Pudding blurted out: “The Devil himself is right here.”
