CCTV 7th Great TV Contest·Finals Pre-performance, Shanghai
(update) Folks, stop kidding me. There are two additional dates, August 25-26. Some changed their minds and finally rehearsed other plays.
Instead of Cool Breeze Pavilion, Yu Hui (or someone on his behalf :P) wisely picked Pinggui Leaves Home, audience has seen too many “Pavilion” from him nowadays I guess.
With a bold move, Guo Yi switched to the rare-ish Last Days of the Ming/Regret on Coal Mountain, also a good choice because Xu Ce somehow belongs to Lu Su, and everyone would make comparisons.
