Chapter 196 Preparations for the New Year's Eve Spring Festival Gala
Chapter 196 New Year’s Eve, Spring Festival Gala preparations
During the second rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala.
The Spring Festival Gala directing team felt that the role of Ouyang Zhu was that of an announcer at a fertilizer factory's radio station, who was the object of admiration for many female workers in the fertilizer factory.
The image should be slightly handsome.
However, the sketch actors in Yan Lan's group are all funny types, so their appearance and handsomeness are not closely related.
Therefore, Shen Jilin and He Rongchang began to discuss whether to invite another popular actor to join the team to play the role of Ouyang Zhu.
It is indeed not difficult to choose a handsome actor in the acting circle.
No one will refuse the invitation sent by the Spring Festival Gala program team, it just depends on who is chosen.
"How about Zheng Yijun? He's a bit handsome, but not so handsome that he'll be in a show." He Rongchang thought of an actor.
This actor belongs to the type who is handsome, but not handsome enough to be in a show.
When it comes to not acting, there is actually no fixed standard.
When some actors appear on the big screen, the audience will feel natural and believe in the role.
However, when some actors appear on the big screen, the audience will only think that they are celebrities.
As long as the audience feels that this is a celebrity at first glance, it will be difficult for the audience to get into the drama.
This is also the reason why many actors have to look ugly if they want to enter the big screen.
In idol dramas, the faces of top stars don't even have pores, but on the big screen, the hairs in the pores are clearly visible.
Shen Jilin nodded: "Zheng Yijun's image fits the bill, but is it too late to invite him over now? There will be the third joint rehearsal the day after tomorrow."
At this moment.
Yan Lan came over, sat next to He Rongchang, and suggested: "Actually, I think we can let Fang Xing give it a try, he is quite handsome. He said that he had taken a musical class in school, so he should have a basic stage performance foundation. "
Shen Jilin frowned and said in confusion: "Can Fang Xing do it? Acting and singing are different."
Yan Lan smiled heartily and said: "If you want to know if he can do it, you can know it by walking on stage once. If you rehearse it once and you feel it's not working, then contact the actor as soon as possible."
He Rongchang nodded and said, "That's right. Ask Fang Xing to wake up and let him try the role of Ouyang Zhu."
When Fang Xing heard that he was going to go on stage to audition, he didn't have stage fright at all.
After all, I had so much experience performing on stage in my previous life. It can be said that standing on the stage is like a show.
In terms of vocal performance, let's not talk about crushing fresh actors. It can only be said that if an experienced actor wants to catch the scene, he has to work hard.
Fang Xing quickly arrived at the rehearsal room.
He Rongchang did not beat around the bush and said directly: "The director team feels that the role of Ouyang Zhu needs to be played by a slightly more handsome actor. Can you do it? If not, we will have to find another actor."
The role of Ouyang Zhu can be said to be the workhorse of the fertilizer factory.
If looks and handsomeness are not related, then it is really difficult to establish this role.
Fang Xing didn't say too much. After all, audience popularity is something you can't have with rich acting experience: "I'll give it a try."
"Okay, as long as you don't have stage fright, then give it a try."
He Rongchang clapped his palms with the roll of paper in his hand and shouted: "Everyone is here, everyone is in place, the first act of "Hello, Li Huanying" begins."
In the middle of the skit rehearsal, three hooligans in floral shirts were harassing Li Huanying, played by Yan Lan.
Fang Xingren arrived before he could say anything: "Stop! You are causing trouble."
In this sketch, Ouyang Zhu, played by Fang Xing, is a rather bookish character, so he doesn't know how to fight.
After Fang Xing appeared on the scene, he was stunned when he saw three tall gangsters. He picked up the prose in his hand and started reading, pretending to be passing by.
This section is a baggage.
The character Ouyang Zhu made a grand appearance, as if he wanted to be a hero to save the beauty, but when he saw the three gangsters, he immediately changed his mind and gave up.
To shake off this burden, it depends on whether the actor who plays Ouyang Zhu has acting talent.
Moreover, the performance of sketches is very different from that of film and television dramas.
When acting in film and television dramas, you can't make big expressions, you have to rely on micro-expressions.
However, the performance form of the skit is quite special. There are very few close-ups of the characters, so when performing, it is necessary to make large expressions, and they are relatively exaggerated large expressions, and even the limbs must be performed to match the expressions.
When Fang Xing saw the three gangsters, he immediately changed his mind and lowered his head to read a book, pretending to be passing by.
Throughout the performance, the expressions on his face were just right.
He Rongchang couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Generally speaking, even actors from the film and television industry can't control the exaggeration of their expressions the first time they act in a sketch, but Fang Xing managed it very well in this part.
When He Rongchang saw Fang Xing's timid expression, he knew that this burden must be there.
Sure enough, several people in the Spring Festival Gala director group sitting next to him laughed out loud.
After the first rehearsal, He Rongchang couldn't help but stand up and applaud, praising: "Great, great. Fang Xing, are you performing extraordinary or in a normal performance state? Can you guarantee this level every time?"
"
"Okay." Fang Xing nodded in agreement, still confident in his stage performance.
"If that's the case, can you take this role? It won't affect your other programs, right?" He Rongchang asked again.
"This depends on Director Shen's opinion." Fang Xing is interested in this role, but it's not to the point where he has to play it.
Moreover, there are already three programs: "Skylark", "Song of the Seven Sons" and "Young China". If there is another sketch, it will really be enough to stay entertained for an hour during the Spring Festival Gala.
Shen Jilin watched Fang Xing's performance live, and it was only the first rehearsal. The effect was so good that he couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
Besides, the book "Hello, Li Huanying" was only published by Fang Xingxing.
In terms of understanding the plot, no one can compare with Fang Xing.
After Shen Jilin thought about it for a moment, he decided: "As long as you can act, I will act for you."
Starting from this day.
Fang Xing rehearsed "Skylark", "Song of the Seven Sons" and "Young China" in the morning, and "Hello, Li Huanying" in the afternoon.
The schedule is very full.
Fortunately, I sing the two songs I sing often, and my vocal skills are there. I can pick up a microphone and go on stage at any time.
Therefore, it is possible to handle multiple programs being rehearsed at the same time.
…
After the third parade, Fang Xing stayed at the Spring Festival Gala base camp all day as before.
Various rumors are flying all over Weibo, and they are getting more and more outrageous.
However, Fang Xing Studio ignored these rumors.
After the third round of competition, there is only one week left before New Year's Eve.
night.
Fang Xing returned to the hotel and called his parents.
As soon as the call was connected, before Fang Xing could say anything, his parents rushed to ask:
"Did you pass the Spring Festival Gala exam? Are you really going to attend the Spring Festival Gala?"
"It's basically confirmed, so I won't be able to go home to celebrate the New Year this year." Fang Xing nodded and replied, although his parents couldn't see it across thousands of mountains and rivers.
"It doesn't matter, my parents are happy to be able to attend the Spring Festival Gala. Besides, the Spring Festival Gala is live broadcast, right? On New Year's Eve, we can also see you on TV, right?" Fang's mother sounded very happy, obviously she could celebrate the New Year on TV.
, is a novel experience.
"Yes, and I will be on several shows." Fang Xing replied with a smile.
"That's great, I'll ask your seven aunts and eight aunts to come to my house to watch your performance." Fang's mother has already thought about how to show off to her relatives and friends.
"Come on, your parents support you. Your dad is going to grab the phone, just tell him." Fang's mother muttered and handed the phone to Fang's father.
On the contrary, Father Fang is the one who always asks: Is the weather in Kyoto cold? Is the hotel comfortable? Are you tired from rehearsing the show?
Fang Xing’s answer was the same: The hotel has central air conditioning, so it’s not cold. The rehearsals were not tiring and were very fulfilling.
Although these are all true, parents are always worried.
…
Time was spent in intense rehearsals.
After the fourth line-up, there is the fifth line-up.
For the fifth group rehearsal, we need to record a playback tape.
The playback tape is used to prevent live broadcast accidents and is also used for archiving.
Therefore, the process of the fifth live broadcast is almost exactly the same as the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast.
After the end of the fifth series, there will be an interval of two days, which is New Year's Eve.
Fang Xing stood in front of the hotel window, looking at the red lanterns on the streets of Kyoto and feeling the strong flavor of the New Year.
The Chinese Spring Festival is like this. Every time before the Spring Festival, the trees and street lamps on both sides of the street are filled with red lanterns.
Like two long red dragons, picking up people returning home.
This is Fang Xing’s first Spring Festival in this world.
Looking at the festive red streets, Fang Xing felt a little lonely.
I don't know since when, Fang Xing began to like this world, and because he liked it, he was afraid of losing it.
Fang Xing pressed his palms against the window and felt the cold outside.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
Fang Xing walked over and opened the door.
Lu Xiang'er opened her arms, showed a big smile, and said, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I'll come over in advance to pay you New Year's greetings. Are you surprised?"
She was wearing a down jacket, a woolen hat on her head, her ears were covered with furry earmuffs, and she was wearing gloves on her hands. She had obviously come here in the cold wind.
Before Fang Xing could say anything, Lu Xiang'er went into the room, closed the door, rubbed her hands and muttered: "It's so cold outside."
Fang Xing just felt the joy of the Spring Festival, but also felt a little lonely.
When I saw Lu Xiang'er at this time, I couldn't help but hug her into my arms and hug her tightly for a long time.
"We just met in the morning, why are you so clingy all of a sudden?" Lu Xiang'er said this, feeling sweet in her heart.
"I just feel a little lonely." Fang Xing carried her to the sofa and snuggled together.
Lu Xiang'er touched Fang Xing's face with her hand and asked with concern: "Are you too tired from rehearsals?"
"It's okay." Fang Xing shook his head.
"That means I couldn't go home to celebrate the New Year. It's okay. I'll celebrate the New Year with you this year." Lu Xiang'er put her arms around Fang Xing's neck and stroked his back with a comforting look.
Lu Xiang'er also has to attend the Spring Festival Gala, so she can't go home to celebrate the New Year.
However, Lu's mother had been staying with her in Kyoto, so she didn't feel lonely.
Fang Xing stretched out his hand to pinch her face and said with a smile, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Lu Xiang'er rested her head on Fang Xing's shoulder, spending time leisurely: "The Spring Festival Gala performance tomorrow will go smoothly, right?"
She is also nervous about making mistakes on the show.
She is nervous every time she performs. The more important the performance, the more nervous she becomes. The Spring Festival Gala can be said to be the most important party for Chinese people.
So when Lu Xiang'er thought about the performance tomorrow, she was inevitably a little worried.
"Are you as nervous as the Paganini Competition?" Fang Xing asked with a smile.
"That's not the case, the competition is still more intense. This time you don't have to compete with others, you just need to perform your part well." Lu Xiang'er said with a smile.
"That's okay. We won the competition, will there be any problems with the party performance?" Fang Xing smiled to calm her nervousness.
"With you playing the piano, I feel much more at ease." Lu Xiang'er hugged her tighter, with a sweet smile on her lips.
…
the next day.
It’s the most solemn day for Chinese people, New Year’s Eve.
Thousands of households are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations to welcome the New Year happily.
The CCTV Spring Festival Gala is also undergoing final preparations.
Venues in five cities across the country are entering final preparations at the same time.
At that time, there will be branch venues in Donghai, Yangcheng, Xiangjiang and other cities to perform joint performances together.
The main venue of the Spring Festival Gala is CCTV No. 1 Studio Hall, and the other venues are branch venues.
The performances at the branch venues will be broadcast to the main venue through satellite signals.
All singers, actors, and celebrities started reporting in the morning, then put on makeup, and made final preparations for tonight's Spring Festival Gala.
Fang Xing was in the dressing room and saw many singers and actors silently reciting something while putting on makeup.
At first glance, you can tell that they are reciting the lyrics silently, seizing the last moment to memorize the lyrics. Even though they have already mastered the lyrics, they are still afraid of making mistakes on stage.
By six o'clock in the afternoon.
The Spring Festival Gala program team distributed New Year's Eve dinner to all staff and celebrities attending the party.
Fang Xing took a few sips, but didn't dare to take more.
Because the performances of "Skylark", "Song of the Seven Sons" and "Young China" are relatively early, they will go on stage not long after the Spring Festival Gala starts.
…
at the same time.
Thousands of households across the country are in front of the TV, preparing to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
In a community in Baitang Town.
Fang's parents and Fang's mother invited relatives and friends, and after the New Year's Eve dinner, they all came over to watch TV at home.
Generally speaking, on New Year's Eve, every family reunites at home and rarely visit each other.
However, this time it's different.
After the reunion dinner, all the relatives and friends of Fang’s father and Fang’s mother, those who lived nearby, rushed over before eight o’clock to watch the Spring Festival Gala together.
Because Fang Xing is going to the Spring Festival Gala this year.
Some relatives didn't believe it and kept asking: "Sister-in-law, is it true? Fang Xing is really going to the Spring Festival Gala? Can we see him on TV later?"
"Yes, I definitely can. He said it himself. He has several programs to appear on." Fang's mother replied confidently.
"What kind of programs are they? It can't be about backup dancers, right? If it's a backup dancer, there may not be a camera." Relatives still feel that the Spring Festival Gala is too far away from them, so they feel very strange and instinctively don't believe it.
"Impossible! Our son must be in the Spring Festival Gala with the most shots." Fang's mother didn't know where she got her confidence from.
