Chapter 595: 595 Peerless masterpiece! [1 update]

The first time I read these words was in junior high, and I was immediately struck by Princess Yongning’s speech.

She paid tribute to the heroes of the land, the vast mountains and rivers, the loyal bones of the martyrs, and the unyielding backbone of Shenzhou. And this unyielding backbone was, in fact, composed of the countless descendants of Huaxia.

I’ve been mixing in the world of voice acting for a long time now, and that voice—does it sound a bit like Tian Dong? Tian Dong has always voiced leading female roles.

It’s definitely not Tian Dong voicing it; her voice has very distinct individual characteristics. I’ll bet my bottom dollar that it’s a newcomer!

Where’s the production crew? With such good voice acting, why haven’t they credited who it is?

Maybe the production team is also trying to protect this new voice actress, right? After all, everyone has their own idea of what Princess Yongning should be like. There will always be dissatisfaction, and if this new person were to get massive online backlash, that’d be terrible.

Director: "..."

The director feels innocent and aggrieved.

Because he had no idea when exactly this originally silent segment had acquired a voice.

As the person in charge of "Treasures of The Divine Land," the director wanted to know who was behind these four lines more than anyone.

Yunjing Television Station took "Treasures of The Divine Land" very seriously. The final checking and review before broadcast was personally overseen from start to finish.

The director couldn’t wait to call the head of Yunjing Television Station: "Station head, about that—"

He hadn’t even finished speaking when he was berated: "I’m watching the show right now. If you’re calling at this time, it had better be for something important!"

"Is it... Is it your idea, the adding of voice to text?" The director stammered, "Because... because those four lines were originally meant to be silent."

"Oh, you mean that? No, it wasn’t my idea," the station head’s tone softened a bit. "It was Miss Ye who approached me before the broadcast, saying she could voice those lines. And you see the result, isn’t the effect surprisingly good?"

The director was stunned: "Ah?!"

"What ’ah’? Are you surprised?" The station head snorted coldly. "I was nervous at the time because if even a single word of those four lines was not done right, it would definitely affect the show’s impact. But Miss Ye truly lived up to her name, absolutely perfect!"

Without waiting for the director to reply, he continued impatiently: "Alright, I don’t have time to chat with you now. I have to watch the show!"

"Beep beep beep—"

And with that, the call was hung up.

The director stood there dumbfounded.

Those four lines were actually voiced by Ye Wanlan?!

And he hadn’t recognized it because the voice was different from what Ye Wanlan normally used.

What in the world was she not capable of?

The director remained lost in thought.

**

Before the screen, Yan Tingfeng’s beautiful phoenix eyes shone brightly, an unprecedented sparkle within them.

No wonder he always thought of Princess Yongning whenever he saw Ye Wanlan.

These four lines truly carried the aura of Princess Yongning herself.

After a moment of silence, Tingfeng laughed: "When did Xiao Wan learn to change her voice?"

For those in the Martial World, changing one’s voice and appearance was actually the most basic skill, especially for someone with many enemies like him.

Ye Wanlan tilted her head, as if she was pondering for a while; then she smiled and said, "During that time, no one spoke to me, so I just talked to myself in the mirror."

Upon hearing this, Tingfeng was taken aback; he knew this was the nine hundred and ninety-nine years she was trapped in time.

Tedious, flavorless, enough to drive one insane.

But she was different. Even though she was crazy at heart, she remained utterly calm, turning adversity into a weapon, growing stronger in the process.

Tingfeng’s gaze returned to the screen as he continued watching the show.

The reason the first episode was titled "Guo Yi Yongning" was because the camera started at Yongning Palace, introducing the audience to the grand and final history of the Ning Dynasty through Princess Yongning’s story.

Because historical figures like Princess Yongning were too difficult to portray, the acting unit played bystander roles, such as guards and palace maids.

Telling the stories of historic heroes through the eyes of minor characters.

This perspective of focusing on the small to reveal the large allowed the audience to empathize and immerse themselves into this segment of history.

Princess Yongning! My idol forever!

Separated in childhood, returned to the palace at five, lived in the East Palace at fourteen, became the Vice King at sixteen, improved the soil, personally tested medicines, and presented many policies for governing the country. She commanded armies like a deity, aiding the Kings of Yan, Qin, and the Prince of Chu to victories from a thousand miles away.

Emperor’s funeral rites were given to her, and officials mourned for thirty-six days... It was a funeral fit for a golden age. The entire land grieved, and Princess Yongning deserved it.

Starting with Princess Yongning as the focal point proved to be a very correct move for "Treasures of The Divine Land."

As the story progressed, the number of viewers kept climbing.

"Old Liu, have you seen the real-time viewer count?" the director’s voice trembled as he spoke, "I’ve been pinching myself so hard, only to realize I’m not dreaming."

Producer Liu swallowed hard, staring at the ten-digit figure in the background, "You’re not dreaming, the global viewership has already broken ten billion."

One must know, at this time point, even the Global Center was in the wee hours, being able to attract so many viewers, "Treasures of The Divine Land" had already succeeded.

Moreover, this was only the first episode, everything had just begun to be laid out.

Even the director dared not imagine what kind of grand feast it would be by the final episode.

[Wait, it ended in just two hours? It felt like I only watched for three minutes, the production team must have cut corners!]

[I’m utterly unsatisfied; the aftertaste is endless!]

[I had very high expectations for "Treasures of The Divine Land" from the beginning, fearing the reality wouldn’t meet my expectations, but it far exceeded them!]

[Ahhhh when is the second episode coming? I can’t wait!]

...

The final global viewership count stopped at nearly thirteen billion.

This number was already terrifying, as even the Global Ceremony that had been held for decades had a peak viewership of just one point eight billion.

And this was despite concerted efforts to suppress "Treasures of The Divine Land", a testament to the show’s exceptional quality.

Yan Tingfeng blinked softly, smiling, "Xiao Wan, are you reassured now?"

"I’ve always been confident about the quality of the show." Ye Wanlan took a deep breath and suddenly smiled, "Most importantly, I’ve always had a lot of confidence in myself."

It wasn’t arrogance, but self-confidence.

"Ding ding—"

The phone vibrated, a group chat notification sounded.

[World’s Richest]: Brilliant.

[World’s Richest]: Indeed a masterpiece.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Wuuu, it made me, a wanderer in a foreign land, cry.

[Crazy Scientist]: A wanderer?

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Although I’m an orphan, my ancestors migrated from Shenzhou, is there a problem?

[Cultured Person]: I’m guessing it was YN who wrote the lyrics and music? To write these lyrics, you need a deep understanding of the history of the late Ning Dynasty. They are very good; I like them a lot. I must collect a copy of the Shenzhou Wanxing Collection CD.

[YN]: Well, it was inspiration at the moment, improvised.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Waaah, YN’s improvisation is something I could never surpass even with all my effort.

Turning off the phone screen, Ye Wanlan stood up and walked to the window.

It was deep into the night in Shenzhou as well, Yunjing, this huge international city, was brightly lit, the high-rise buildings stood tall in great numbers, the stars hung inverted in the river water, shining bright and lively.

This was a great era.

Ye Wanlan thought.

She wanted everyone to see it.

**

The next day, at twelve noon.

[@Treasures of The Divine Land Official V: We are grateful for your expectations. The Shenzhou Wanxing Collection is now online at various major music video sites, please check it out!]

This Weibo post was followed by more than a dozen links, including music platforms belonging to the Global Center.

Following the first broadcast of "Treasures of The Divine Land" yesterday, individual bloggers had clipped the music piece and uploaded it to video apps, and quickly, the piece swept across all major media platforms globally.

Whether a program can break out of its circle and have immense influence largely depends on whether it can spark a wave of secondary creations among netizens.

There is no doubt that the premiere of "Treasures of The Divine Land" was very successful, and the second-creation edited videos also hung in hot spots.

[Here it is, the production team has good stuff but didn’t release it earlier; they deserve criticism and a good scolding!]

[Since watching the first episode yesterday, I’ve been looping the song "Flourishing Divine Land" and stayed excited all night without sleep, and today I still have an early 8 o’clock class.

When I noticed our Chinese studies teacher also with dark circles under his eyes, I knew I came to the right class today.]

[The first lesson in the morning was a foreign language class, where the teacher played us the foreign language version of Treasures of The Divine Land, and brought in reviews from foreign websites, which stunned all the foreigners.]

[Quick, I want to see who composed and who wrote the lyrics!]
