After receiving the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala, Jiang Yan was thinking about what song to use to pass the show.
He has plenty of songs, but he has to think carefully about which songs to use.
Pop songs are good, but Jiang Yan feels that since he is from the Mainland, he looks like a star from Hong Kong and Taiwan during the Spring Festival Gala, so he may not be very down-to-earth.
So how to choose?
Andy also gave some advice in this regard. He said that since it is the Spring Festival Gala, it should be festive no matter what.
Jiang Yan's eyes lit up at that time, Hua Zai was right!
So "Gong Xi Fa Cai" was chosen as an alternative.
This song was played when Andy attended the Spring Festival Gala in 2005. It is festive, joyful and has a good meaning.
The melody is also great and the lyrics are catchy, no one dislikes it.
If he really doesn't like it, then he must be sick.
Don’t you like getting rich?
So for many years, every Chinese New Year, major supermarkets would start playing it on a loop.
In other words, whenever you hear this song, it’s probably the New Year.
At the time, its power was probably second only to "Spring Festival Overture".
Well, it's still incomparable to "Spring Festival Overture", and "Gong Xi Fa Cai" is still a lot more vulgar.
It's just a common thing, but it can definitely be regarded as one of the divine songs of the Spring Festival Gala.
The most critical thing here is the bonus to Jiang Yan's image.
He wants to be a down-to-earth star, so this song is quite suitable.
Currently, Jiang Yan's fans are a bit younger. When this song comes out, it will basically be a massacre of young and old alike.
So Jiang Yan spent a long time composing the song, and Wa Jai kept praising it: How wonderful!
Jiang Yan laughed loudly, and then said to Andy, I can't write it without your suggestions, how about we do it together?
Andy shook his head. He was too busy this year. The director team had invited him, but he had just been there last year, so he declined.
So Jiang Yan had no choice but to say "regrettably": "If this song is not selected, then next time we two brothers will sing on stage together!"
"No problem!" Andy smiled.
In this way, "Gong Xi Fa Cai" became one of the alternative songs.
But one song is not enough, Jiang Yan must make more preparations.
Now that it’s festive and down-to-earth, the next song will have to be really high-end. After all, who knows what the directing team will think.
So Jiang Yan glanced at Hua Tsai, and immediately locked Fang Shilong in his mind.
When gathering wool, it needs to be soaked evenly by rain and dew.
Fang Shilong's song "Country" premiered at the Great Hall of the People with a creative team of 200 people, which was unprecedented in scale.
Next year, 1999, will be the 50th anniversary of the motherland and the return of Macau, so the song "Country" is very suitable.
"They say the country is very big, but it is actually just one family."
Look at these lyrics, isn’t this the voice of thousands of people?
The directing team probably had a hard time seeing this.
Is it a bit big?
It's okay, we have it too.
"Where has the time gone", thanks to parents all over the world.
Once a song comes out, it's guaranteed to make a lot of people cry.
Jiang Yan loves to do this kind of thing.
However, Jiang Yan feels that the theme of this song may conflict with other songs.
The 1999 Spring Festival Gala had "Go Home Often".
This is also an absolute divine song. Jiang Yan doesn’t think he can compete with others.
But there is definitely nothing wrong with bringing it out. It depends on the director team how to choose.
In addition, Jiang Yan originally planned to release the song "Lonely Warrior".
But considering that this is an old song, will it make people feel that it is a compilation?
In addition, there is "For Whom" this year, and the theme is also fighting against floods, so Jiang Yan probably won't be able to compete well, so he will be used as a substitute.
What if the director team likes this song?
Three songs are done, one is down to earth, one is high and one is deep in the heart.
Anyway, Jiang Yan has made up his mind. Unless he loses all the votes this time, he will have to make some noise as long as he goes to the Spring Festival Gala.
As for whether he will sing solo in the end, Jiang Yan actually doesn't think much of it, as long as he can perform.
In the Yangshi office building, when Jiang Yan took out the three CDs and played them, several directors were a little shocked.
They naturally know who Jiang Yan is.
The most popular stars in September and October have strong creative abilities, and even they like many songs.
In addition, this person's background is somewhat powerful.
Teacher Zuo personally called to recommend Jiang Yan, Mrs. Yang also called, and Fan Youwen also asked from time to time when the invitation would be sent.
So the director team paid attention to Jiang Yan from the beginning.
Later, Jiang Yan became popular, especially when "The Lonely Warrior" came out, and the leaders of Yangshi also expressed their praise, so the director team no longer hesitated and called directly to invite.
After the time was agreed upon, Jiang Yan remained silent.
By the time people arrived, it was already very late and the first round of rehearsals was almost over.
You must know that other invitees, except those who have attended the Spring Festival Gala more than once, all the others came to the capital several days in advance.
Even the singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan arrived as late as yesterday.
So Liu Tiemin's impression of Jiang Yan is actually not very good.
As a result, they immediately released three new songs!
And these three new songs look very thoughtful.
The styles are different, but they all fit in with the theme of the Spring Festival Gala.
This greatly changed Liu Tiemin's impression of Jiang Yan.
"These are all new ones you prepared? Why don't you use old songs?" Liu Tiemin asked immediately.
"Can we still use old songs in the Spring Festival Gala?" Jiang Yan asked innocently.
"..Hahaha, what a good boy!"
Liu Tiemin was very happy and then asked Jiang Yan to start performing.
Jiang Yan didn't talk nonsense. Although he had a well-produced CD, he still sang all three songs seriously and his attitude was very correct.
After the performance, Jiang Yan left the rehearsal hall first.
And the question was thrown to the directing team.
"'Gong Xi Fa Cai' is good and festive, and 'Where Has the Time Gone' is also very good. As for 'Country', it seems inappropriate for Jiang Yan to sing it alone."
Soon someone expressed their thoughts, and as soon as they finished speaking, someone else immediately put forward their opinions:
"There is some conflict between the song "Where Has the Time Gone" and "Go Home Often". Two songs on the same theme are not suitable."
"I think it's pretty good. This song is more profound..."
"If you choose it, what about "Country"? You don't want this song?"
"He can't sing well alone."
"Give him one. There are too many of them."
""Gong Xi Fa Cai" is also very good. Ours is the Spring Festival Gala. The audience will like to watch it if it is more festive and down-to-earth..."
"I agree with this, but if I choose it, what about the other two songs?"
"Why not choose his old songs? Sales are there, guaranteed..."
"Don't add to the chaos. Just these three songs will be enough to fight for..."
The program team soon started arguing, and for a while they really couldn't make up their minds.
But no one is discussing whether Jiang Yan can attend the Spring Festival Gala.
Obviously, Jiang Yan is basically stable this time.
The discussion lasted for more than ten minutes, but in the end no consensus was reached.
