(Note: I watched the show about 2 months ago, so my memory is not the best while writing this)I pretty much watched this show for Chen Lijun, I saw some of Lijun stages on YouTube (Chen Lijun's first performance and the fourth stage) I was pretty impressed with the stages so I got curious and decide to watch the show. I didn't have any expectations of the show and barely knew or heard of many of the contestants apart from Chen Lijun, Kuo Shu Yao, Jeannie Hsieh, Qi Wei and Nicole Jung but I really enjoyed it from the stages to the interactions between sisters particularly Shang Wenjie and Zhu Dan, There were moments where I shed a few tears while watching this show,
Some moments from the show that I want to highlight are:
Fa Ru Xue stage is a definition of art , love the bit wear the smear the white dust on their hair. Su Reverse was pretty good too, Sa Dingding's high note at the end. Chen Lijun put together a good team, loved the team dynamic. The team name being called 春秋大梦 due to Sa Dingding wishful thinking.
The final song selection for the fifth stage between the three teams and captains is was so funny and chaotic, it didn't turn out the way how the captains wanted as their selection had to match their teammates selections. Probably the funniest part of the show, in my opinion.
Dong Feng Bo stage - hearing it during the assessment makes you think that the arrangement isn't going to work but when it came to the actual stage it's pretty good. Liu Xin did such a good job of the putting the stage together and standing her ground of combining Yue Opera into the song, too bad both the music director and stage directors didn't think it was a good idea but Chen Lijun and Liu Xin proved them wrong and put on an impressive stage.
Mi Bu Tou Feng - the stage is pretty good for an original song. I noticed that original songs are often not super popular among the participants so it's often performed by sisters that aren't good at singing and dancing which means the performance may not be as a good as the other stages. It's also done in one take, it took a lot of practice to perfect that stage and even the smallest mistake can affect the stage.
Wang Lin for making it all the way to fifth stage despite the criticism from netziens for her age, it's not something that many people at her age often do. She stepped out of her comfort zone from what she was used to and to take on the challenge on to perform Po Feng, a song that requires a complex dancing, it's not an easy feat. The award was defiently well earned for Wang Lin.
It was nice to see the all the members of 春秋大梦组 making into top 10. from winning the first stage together and making into finals.
Some of my favourite stages are
发如雪 Fa Ru Xue
溯Reverse Su Reverse
华夏 Hua Xia
密不透风 Mi Bu Tou Feng
东风破 Dong Feng Bo
月亮之上 Yue Liang Zhi Shang
Also check out Chen Lijun's stage of Xiake Yin (Not from the official Chengfeng account but from a fan account) from Xin Long Men Ke Zhan documentary film.
