On the eve of the Spring Festival Gala, in the dressing room backstage, Liu Hao was smiling and heating up the phone with Gao Yuanyuan, looking sweet.
"My dear, I really want to experience the atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala in person..." Gao Yuanyuan on the other end of the phone said with some envy, "I just want to see the world, even if you just take me to the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala."
, I will be quiet..."
When Gao Yuanyuan said this, the singer Gao Feng happened to pass by and smiled and nodded. Liu Hao remembered that he seemed to have had a relationship with Zhang Ziyi, a classmate in his class. In the early years, Zhang Ziyi was taken to the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala by him.
, and also ate a bowl of box lunch together.
If that really happened, it should have happened during the 1996 Spring Festival Gala. At that time, Zhang Ziyi had just passed the drama test and was just seventeen...
However, Liu Hao had never heard Zhang Ziyi mention this matter, and he was not sure whether it was true.
"Do you think it's okay?" Hearing Gao Yuanyuan's flattering and coquettish voice on the other end of the phone, Liu Hao put back his divergent thinking and said with a smile: "If you want to experience the atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala in person, that's no problem, but Yuan Yuan
Yuan, I think it’s best for you to be able to attend the Spring Festival Gala with your own abilities..."
"Based on my ability?" Gao Yuanyuan came to her senses, shook her head like a rattle, and said anxiously, "I don't have any talent, I don't sing well, I'm tone-deaf, my limbs are uncoordinated, and I can't dance...
"
Gao Yuanyuan thought for a while and said a little embarrassedly: "I can only have a comedic effect on stage. It's quite difficult. I have no confidence at all..."
Gao Yuanyuan always thought that when she and Liu Hao took the Chinese Theater Arts Examination together, she was rejected in the second test because she was not talented. Little did she know that during the Chinese Theater admissions reform that year, the female students recruited were either dancers or opera actors. She had no idea that
There is no play.
If she and Liu Hao could be in the same school, she would definitely not give a certain Zeng a chance to poach people. Gao Yuanyuan felt a little grudge in her heart. She still remembered that she had persuaded Liu Hao to go to the Chinese drama.
It seems that Gao Yuanyuan has never been to the Spring Festival Gala, right? From the memory of later generations, it seems that she has not even appeared in variety shows. It seems that this is the case in Liu Hao's brainstorming.
He is quite self-aware. Maybe he is not short of money. Liu Hao thought about it and suddenly had an idea in his mind. If Gao Yuanyuan can appear on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, it will be quite a sense of accomplishment.
His heart moved, Liu Hao joked and said: "It's true that the limbs are not coordinated. You can't do certain movements, and you lack some boudoir fun. Hehe, I suggest you practice yoga..."
"Bah, bah, bah! You know how to have bad intentions..." Gao Yuanyuan on the other end of the phone blushed instantly, thinking about signing up for Yu to work overtime.
"Heh heh heh..." Liu Hao smiled and continued a little more seriously, "You said your limbs are uncoordinated, which I accept. You said you are tone-deaf, but I don't accept that. You just sing.
There are no skills, you can improve with more practice..."
Gao Yuanyuan's voice is very gentle, so she can sing well under these conditions. Besides, in later generations, she can even sing "The Support of Love" to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Why can't Gao Yuanyuan be good?
Who doesn’t have a millionaire tuner yet?
Besides, in order to avoid accidents and for the sake of effect, except for a few singers, most of the Spring Festival Gala was recorded in advance, which is what we commonly call "lip-synching".
If singing can't save her, isn't there a plan B? Gao Yuanyuan said that she only has a comedic effect on stage, and when the time comes, she can find someone to lead her in skits.
But the premise is that he must have enough influence to bring Gao Yuanyuan to the Spring Festival Gala and let her "make up for it".
Thinking of this, Liu Hao became more motivated.
Liu Hao encouraged: "Think about the song "Later" you sang. Director Zhang Yang has agreed to use the song you sang as the theme song of the movie. No, "Love Malatang" will be released soon.
You also recorded a single for "Later". When the time comes, I will help you release the single of this song, help you make your debut, and help promote the movie..."
"Don't! Don't!" Gao Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue and said with some self-knowledge, "I can't afford to lose this person..."
But she was still very happy in her heart.
"If you're afraid of embarrassment, then practice singing hard, you know?"
"Hmm..." Gao Yuanyuan nodded obediently, then thought about it and reminded, "Do you still remember "Those Years"? You promised me..."
The great success of Liu Hao's first film also shocked Gao Yuanyuan. Affected by it, Gao Yuanyuan was no longer satisfied with making TV series and was even more eager to try making movies.
Every time when talking on the phone with Liu Hao, Gao Yuanyuan would pretend to casually mention the reminder of "Those Years".
Liu Hao didn't understand Gao Yuanyuan's little thoughts, but he wasn't annoyed at all. He smiled and promised: "I always remember it. I guarantee that the movie will start shooting this year. You should prepare well..."
Liu Hao will be 20 years old as soon as his birthday this year. Liu Hao himself has a mature temperament. If he delays it any longer, he will not be suitable for filming this kind of youth campus movie.
After all, movies are more artistic than TV series, and it is rare for people in their decades to play boys and girls pretending to be young.
Liu Hao has promised to star in this movie with Gao Yuanyuan, and this promise must be fulfilled. The plan is to prepare and start filming this year.
The best situation is that the eldest brother will direct it himself, which Liu Hao can trust, but maybe he will be doing post-production work after filming the movie "Chi Ling" and he won't be able to catch up on time. If that is the case, Liu Hao will hire a director at Beijing Film Studio.
Come and help direct.
Beijing Film Studio should not have too many directors on its roster, as many young directors have not had the opportunity to direct movies. Besides, with Mr. Han’s connections, and the company owns shares in Beijing Film Studio, they can find a director from Beijing Film Studio and recruit a crew.
Isn’t it very relaxing?
Recently, several talents have switched jobs from Beijing Film Studio to the company.
Liu Hao and Gao Yuanyuan chatted for a few more words. At this time, a staff member came to the dressing room to remind that the Spring Festival Gala was about to start. Liu Hao then ended the phone call with Gao Yuanyuan reluctantly.
This year's Spring Festival Gala, the main hosts are still Ni Ping and Zhao Zhongxiang, as well as Zhu Jun, whose career has been ruined by "unnecessary". At this time, He Dan has not yet jumped from CCTV to the toilet station to host "Happy Camp" and served as
Host of the Spring Festival Gala.
In the excitement of the opening song and dance "Welcome the Spring Festival", the second program is the song group "New Year's Eve in the Southeast and Northwest", "not enough twists", "not beautiful enough", "not enough to see", "not enough to dance", the opening
The two song programs had a very good warm-up effect.
At this time of the Spring Festival Gala, in addition to the Fu Hua Dao with the characteristics of the times, the most worth talking about is the language program.
Especially the sketch programs at this time are still very interesting. After all, they are people-oriented, and the characters in the sketches are limited to the masses. We don’t want future generations to gradually become focused on education or political struggle.
Thinking about the weirdly painted black mermaid in later generations, even some Nicos felt disgusted when they saw it.
This year's Spring Festival Gala's language program lived up to expectations and is still very much anticipated.
The third program is "Sit back and enjoy the success" presented by Feng Niu, the most popular cross talk group in the Spring Festival Gala. The following sketches include "Going Home" by Song Dandan, "New Year's Greetings" by Zhao Benshan, and "Kung Fu" by Teacher Zhao Lirong
Order", and Chen Peisi's "The Postman", etc.
They are all very classic.
This year's work "New Year's Greetings" by Benshan Ge was the first time he collaborated with Fan Wei and Gao Xiumin on the Spring Festival Gala. The performance was extremely outstanding and he kept saying good things.
"Yongwu (because of) what? Corruption?"
"The earth has to revolve around you, are you the sun?"
"A rat works as an escort for a cat, and you earn money at the expense of your life."
"We went back to the shack and gutted the shack, fished out the bastards, and laid them on the ground to bleed them one by one."
"..."
You will definitely not see this in future sketches.
Liu Hao was very interested in Ben Shan's "New Year's Greetings", but what he was most interested in was Chen Peisi's "Prince's Postman".
This is not because Chen Peisi's performance in "The Postman" is better or this sketch is more interesting, but because this sketch is his signature work in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
This is like those Internet writers of later generations who have to bow their heads under the roof. When they are wronged, sometimes they should be patient and don't be too stubborn and lose the big for the small.
However, compared to language programs such as sketches and cross talk, as a singer, Liu Hao is more interested in song programs.
Not to mention the previous song "Good Days" by the queen of folk songs Song Sister, the thirteenth program song medley "Popular Style" has twelve songs, each song is about one minute.
Zhou Haimei, who was the first to appear and sang "A Thousand Rivers and Thousand Mountains Are Always Love", made Liu Hao's eyes shine.
Although Zhou Haimei is already 32 years old at this time, she is still at the peak of her appearance. As her name suggests, she does look very charming.
When seeing her, Liu Hao always thinks of Gao Yuanyuan, and the two do have similarities in appearance.
Liu Hao recalled that Gao Yuanyuan was able to get the role of Zhou Zhiruo in later generations, perhaps because she looked similar to Zhou Haimei.
After all, Zhou Zhiruo, played by Zhou Haimei in the 1994 version of "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", is still a classic. Although this drama has many famous scenes of filial piety and facial features flying around, it couldn't withstand the magical changes in the plot, so Zhou Haimei could make this drama come alive.
It became "Zhi Ruo Zhuan".
Moreover, Zhou Haimei's style with short hair down to her neck on the spring evening is really similar to Gao Yuanyuan's style in the mouth-cleaning advertisement of later generations.
“Want to know what clearing your mouth tastes like?”
Well... Anyway, Liu Hao is very clear now, soft and moist. Thinking of this, Liu Hao smiled inwardly and couldn't help but lick his lips.
As an actor, Zhou Haimei's singing skills are about as good as Gao Yuanyuan's from Liu Hao's professional perspective.
What's a bit outrageous is that the song medley is not pretentious here. None of the singers holds a microphone when singing, for fear that the audience in front of the TV will not know that they are lip-synching.
Looking at it this way, Gao Yuanyuan's participation in the Spring Festival Gala was not as difficult as imagined.
As Tu Honggang and others finished singing "True Hero" to end the song medley, Gao Yuanyuan held Gao's mother's arm and shook excitedly, and said excitedly in advance: "Mom and Dad, the next one is Brother Hao's program "Meet in 1998"
Yes, this is a song he composed and composed..."
With Rong Youyan, Gao Yuanyuan looked very proud. Gao's mother smiled and tapped her forehead to signal her to be quiet. She also kept laughing silly.
As He Dan and Zhou Tao finished reporting, program information quickly appeared on the TV.
Song: "Meet in 1998"
Lyricist: Liu Hao
Composer: Liu Hao
Vocals: Liu Hao, Wang Fei
Gao Yuanyuan fell silent instantly. Even Zeng Xiaomei, who was far away in Jingzhou, was restrained by Zeng Li from making a fuss, and all their attention was on the TV.
As soon as the prelude of the song started playing, the first thing that caught the eye was a pair of dancers in silver reflective clothing dancing inside the ball. They looked very interesting and immediately attracted the attention.
"Open your heart and peel off the shyness of spring
The dancing steps break through the silence of winter..."
Wearing a sparkling blue suit with a fur collar, Liu Hao looks very stylish and handsome with broad shoulders and narrow waist. Holding a microphone, Liu Hao performed and sang.
Like the previous ones, Liu Hao was also "lip-syncing". There was nothing he could do about it. This was the arrangement of the program team. After all, Hong Kong City returned last year. It is a special year. The Spring Festival Gala cannot have a car accident scene like before, so everything must be ensured.
"So handsome!" As soon as Liu Hao appeared, Gao Yuanyuan suddenly felt her face burning and blurted out while holding her face.
After singing the first two lines, Liu Hao raised his arm to the right, and the TV camera pulled away. The princess, wearing two Tweet-meat balls, appeared on the TV. She looked a bit like Mickey Mouse, accompanied by her ethereal singing voice.
"The warmth and affectionate greetings
The drizzle bathes yesterday and yesterday
Exciting moment yesterday
You greet me with warm eyes
Welcome the joy and joy that I brought from yesterday….”
It complemented Liu Hao's warm singing. In the mesmerizing singing, on the TV Spring Festival Gala stage, they came close and held hands. This made the eldest brother Gao Yuanyuan nod frequently, glanced at his sister, and couldn't help but tease:
:
"A talented man and a beautiful woman, they are a perfect match! Sister, don't you think so?"
"Huh?!" Gao Yuanyuan stepped heavily on her brother's instep, gave her a vicious look, and said angrily:
"If you don't speak, no one will be mute. Do you want me to tell my sister-in-law that you are molesting other women outside..."
"Why don't I know what you are talking about? You are slandering people!"
"So, brother, don't talk about those things that are available or not, huh!"
"..."
Seeing the brothers and sisters bickering, Gao's mother smiled helplessly.
The song "Meet Me in 1998" is indeed a classic. The melody is gradual and the lyrics are like a prose poem, which is full of poetic charm.
What's more important is that the collaboration between the most popular singers in the country has the highest popularity today. The chorus performed by Liu Hao and the princess is not inferior to the chorus performed by Ge Geying and the princess in later generations.
This song has almost become the most profound memory of the 1998 Spring Festival Gala, entering the classic series and becoming an indispensable program for future generations to review the Spring Festival Gala.
After singing this song, Liu Hao still had some unfinished thoughts. Backstage, Liu Hao and the princess laughed and chatted for a few words, and politely declined her enthusiastic invitation to play cards.
It's not that I'm afraid of losing to the princess at cards. I can't lose a few coins when playing cards between friends.
There are just some things that are more important.
Watching the time, Liu Hao left first, drove and arrived at Yu Feihong's villa before twelve o'clock.
Well...this year, he wants to welcome the New Year with his daughter.
