In about an hour, the flight arrived at its destination.
Jiang Yuan got into the vehicle arranged by the program crew after leaving the airport.
"National Style New Rhythm" is actually like a travel program to a certain extent.
During the week of recording the program, except for the work presentation on the last day, the rest of the time is basically free.
In the first two days, under the coordination of the program team, several guests will visit and learn about the local culture.
As soon as Jiang Yuan got off the plane, he was pulled by the program crew's car to the station to join several other guests.
Before coming, Jiang Yuan also did some research on the Internet to learn more.
In addition to participating in the recording as a special guest, there are a total of six regular guests on the show with different identities.
Among them are painters, poets, those who play guzheng, those who dance modern dance, those who are proficient in embroidery, and those who specialize in carving.
What comforted Jiang Yuan was that at least two of them played music and danced, so they should have something in common.
As for painting and embroidery, Jiang Yuan knew nothing about it.
The vehicle arrived at its destination and Jiang Yuan got out of the vehicle with his luggage.
As my residence for the next seven days, the program team chose a house that has a very local ancient charm.
As soon as Jiang Yuan arrived, a staff member helped put the box away, and then he was led to the front yard.
The excitement in the front yard was beyond Jiang Yuan's imagination. The other six guests had all arrived, and the staff had already started filming.
It looked like the whole audience was waiting for him, which made Jiang Yuan feel somewhat restrained.
After taking the lunch box handed over by the staff, Sun Tao greeted Jiang Yuan to enter the country.
"I would like to introduce to you a new guest, the young musician Jiang Yuan." Sun Tao took Jiang Yuan and introduced him to several people present.
Jiang Yuan also greeted him, "Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Yuan. I will join you on your journey in the next few days. Please give me your advice."
After saying hello, Jiang Yuan subconsciously looked at the people present.
There were three men and three women in total. On the far left were the two younger female guests, both in their twenties.
Jiang Yuan made a match in his mind, it should be Dai Yin playing the guzheng and Su Xiujin doing the embroidery.
Dai Yin and Dai Yin also looked at Jiang Yuan curiously at this time. After all, apart from the two of them, the youngest person present was already running for four years.
There really weren't many topics in common, and Jiang Yuan's appearance was too superior at the scene, so it was difficult not to attract attention.
The two older people sitting in the middle, one of whom Jiang Yuan recognized, was the poet Feng Tie whom he had met at the Golden Melody Award Ceremony before.
At this time, Feng Tie also recognized Jiang Yuan as the young man who had jointly nominated him for the award.
Sitting next to Feng Tie is Yu Shan, who is good at carving. He is over sixty years old, and at first glance he has a rather immortal temperament.
At this time, he was also nodding to Jiang Yuan.
Further on is the painter Liu Zhiyun, who is in his late forties and is very famous in China.
Jiang Yuan had seen advertisements for Liu Zhiyun's art exhibition on the Internet before, and had also seen the included works while filming the music video at the Shanghai Art Museum.
At the far end was dancer Shen Yi. Jiang Yuan greeted each other and sat down in his seat.
At the same time, I was relieved in my heart. At least judging from the greetings, everyone's attitude was quite friendly.
"Welcome to Jingcheng, which is the famous porcelain capital of China..." After Jiang Yuan sat down, Sun Tao began to introduce the opening remarks.
After giving a more detailed introduction to Jingcheng, I also made a rough arrangement for today’s itinerary.
After the opening, everyone looked at the rooms arranged by the program team, packed their things, and got on the program team's shuttle bus to start the cultural tour.
Everyone sat on a shuttle bus and started chatting.
"There are a lot of fun places in Jingcheng." Shen Yi looked out the window and started talking first.
Every program needs someone who can liven up the atmosphere.
In "New Rhythm of the Country", Shen Yi plays this role.
Different from his appearance and name, this Shen Yi is kind of lively and somewhat unexpected by Jiang Yuan.
"Jiang Yuan, as artists you usually have very few opportunities to travel, right?" Because Jiang Yuan was a new guest, Shen Yi took the initiative to bring up the topic.
Jiang Yuan nodded when he heard this, "I can usually fly to many cities, but there are indeed relatively few opportunities to really calm down and have fun."
"Eh? That song "Big Fish" should be your song, right?" Liu Zhiyun also asked Jiang Yuan curiously.
"Yes." Jiang Yuan nodded.
"I've heard it before, and it's a great song. Some of my friends sent me the MV to watch. The picture is really beautiful," Liu Zhiyun praised.
Jiang Yuan responded with a smile, "I have seen your works at the Shanghai Art Museum before, but unfortunately I was too busy and couldn't see your art exhibition."
A wave of quite sincere business exchanges, that’s all.
"I have basically listened to your songs, and many of them use Chinese musical instruments." Dai Yin also interjected.
"Yes, the Chinese instruments are very powerful. When added to the arrangement, in my opinion, it directly beats all kinds of synthesizers. It is also very tolerant and can be made into popular music." Jiang Yuan responded.
.
Along the way, Jiang Yuan sat at the front of the vehicle and chatted harmoniously with Dai Yin and others. After all, they had a common topic.
In addition, everyone is more curious about the life of a serious artist like Jiang Yuan.
From time to time, some entertainment gossip will be interspersed, and finally it even got around to the drama "The Temptation of Going Home".
Jiang Yuan really felt the popularity of this drama, and he didn't expect that even Liu Zhiyun was watching it.
Different from the intense heat of the car in front, the car behind is like a whole other world.
Feng Tie sat in the back seat holding this collection of poems, chatting with Yu Shan next to him from time to time. At the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable with the team atmosphere after Jiang Yuan joined.
Before Jiang Yuan joined, the previous few trips had a lively atmosphere even with Shen Yi.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone’s chat is limited to local climate, food, beautiful scenery, or exchanges on works.
And basically they only chatted for a few words, which was just enough time for the show to last, and then they became quiet.
It's rare to be like today. We chatted almost all the way. It can be said that I am not getting used to it.
Even looking at Jiang Yuan was not very pleasing to the eye.
In other words, Feng Tie was not very pleased with Jiang Yuan.
It is said that literati are the most indifferent to each other. Although Jiang Yuan does not belong to the category of literati in Feng Tie's eyes.
But Feng Tie was very upset about the fact that he failed to win the golden song lyrics some time ago.
Although it is a cross-border work, in Feng Tie's view, lyric writing is essentially a category of writing. As a result, he did not win the award. It is definitely impossible not to feel disappointed.
Feng Tie stared at a poem in the poetry collection and thought deeply for a while.
When the vehicle arrived at its destination and stopped, Shen Yi felt like he still had something to say. It was the first time during the journey that he had such a lively conversation.
It seemed that after Jiang Yuan appeared, everyone became willing to chat.
The main reason is that the content of the conversation is basically focused on Jiang Yuan, and there are many topics to talk about.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Yuan and Dai Yin got along quite well. Their careers are both based on music.
Moreover, Jiang Yuan often chats with the musicians in the studio, and they get along very well, and they have reached the stage of discussing cooperation.
After getting off the bus, everyone arrived at the first place to visit.
Sun Tao appeared again and played the role of director for everyone, leading everyone to visit and giving a detailed introduction.
The attractions in the parallel world are somewhat different from Jiang Yuan's imagination.
The first scenic spot we arrived at was already enough for Jiang Yuan and others to visit for a whole day.
It is a very large-scale porcelain park. Inside the park, there are various facilities. There are not only museums that collect rare porcelain, but also old kilns dedicated to visiting.
Sun Tao introduced Jiang Yuan and others as he walked.
Jiang Yuan also carried a camera on his back and walked around taking pictures. From time to time, he also took a few photos of Dai Yin, Su Xiujin and others, and quickly integrated into the scene.
This gave Jiang Yuan the illusion that he was not recording a program, but signing up for a tour group.
Different people have different reactions at different attractions.
For example, Liu Zhiyun holds a notebook and writes down the interesting things he sees in sketches.
Jiang Yuan had seen it before and had to praise it. The painting was indeed superb.
Another person whose behavior made Jiang Yuan feel a little strange was Feng Tie.
Basically, every time you visit a scenic spot, you will see Feng Tie closing his eyes and meditating for a period of time.
Jiang Yuan looked at it and was afraid that Feng Tie would suddenly open his eyes and say, "I want to recite a poem about this situation."
During the tour, each scenic spot was very cooperative for shooting.
After all, the broadcast of the program "New Rhythm of China" can also play a promotional role and promote tourism consumption in Jingcheng.
Naturally there is strong local support.
Jiang Yuan spent the day eating, drinking and having fun with the show crew, and was in a good mood when he returned to his residence in the evening.
I felt that I had come to this program at the right time, and even my mood felt calm.
In the evening, after the recording, Jiang Yuan and Sun Tao drank tea and reminisced about the past, and also talked about this program by the way.
"Seven days from now, what will be the format of my performance? What are the venue and equipment issues?" Jiang Yuan asked with some worry.
After all, the program "National Style New Rhythm" is not a specialized music variety show, and no singer has ever appeared on it before.
I am really worried about the professionalism of the stage.
"You don't have to worry about this." Sun Tao shook his head.
He took a sip of tea and continued, "Just think that you are here to record the extended version of "City Street Corner"."
"Starting from the day after tomorrow, the program team will walk through several major attractions, and then you can go about your activities freely. You have five days to prepare for your performance."
"The equipment is the same as that used in "City Street Corner", but there is no band. You can prepare a backing tape yourself when the time comes, or you can pull up a band within five days."
After listening to Sun Tao's introduction, Jiang Yuan nodded, and then asked, "What about the effect on the stage?"
"In this case, we will set up a stage in a place with more local characteristics."
"The clips that will be officially broadcast at the same time will be interspersed with some clips of you preparing for the song during your performance." Sun Tao replied.
Jiang Yuan felt relieved after hearing this.
After all, the main reason for participating in this show is to find a suitable platform for singing songs for the new album.
Now it seems that the experience is good.
The next day, Jiang Yuan also woke up early to the sound of a large alarm bell from the program crew.
Then continue to visit the scenic spots that you didn’t finish yesterday.
During the trip, Jiang Yuan also took some photos and uploaded them to Yuan Universe to share with fans.
But most of what I share are selfies with the food and drinks in my hands.
It meets the needs of the business without spoiling the fans that he is recording the show.
However, some fans made connections based on clues and finally guessed that Jiang Yuan was filming the music video for his new album.
The next day, after the program team's itinerary is over, everyone can spend their time freely.
You can choose to sleep in your accommodation all day, or you can choose to travel alone or in a group.
There is a dedicated photographer responsible for following the shooting, and these days are the time for everyone to complete the work.
For Su Xiujin, Liu Zhiyun and Yu Shan, these five days were very tight.
After all, it takes a lot of time and energy to complete high-quality paintings, embroidery, or carvings.
The last time it was trending was when Liu Zhiyun spent five days painting a four-meter-long ink painting, which amazed everyone.
But for Jiang Yuan, all he needs to think about is how to perform the works he prepared in advance in the next few days.
After all, the song was prepared in advance, and I didn’t expect it to be such a perfect fit.
After much deliberation, Jiang Yuan decided to find a band to accompany him.
After all, the live experience, the band and the accompaniment are completely different things.
Since there are still five days to prepare, there is plenty of time.
After Jiang Yuan made his decision, he got up early on the third day of the journey.
Eating the breakfast provided by the residence, thinking about where to go to find the band.
After all, I really didn't have many connections in Jingcheng, so I fell into trouble for a while.
At this time, Dai Yin also sat in front of Jiang Yuan with breakfast.
"Good morning, you got up so early." Dai Yin greeted Jiang Yuan.
When Jiang Yuan heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Dai Yin. He was obviously ready for the trip, with his hair tied into a ponytail and his face wearing natural makeup.
Suddenly I thought of something and my eyes lit up.
Being stared at by Jiang Yuan so early in the morning, especially when the other person's eyes were getting hotter and hotter, made Dai Yin somewhat nervous.
When I think about the news that Jiang Yuan is a scumbag, my thinking becomes even more divergent, and my heartbeat speeds up a lot.
After staring for a while, Jiang Yuan said, "Would you like to be with me..."
"It's too fast." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Dai Yin.
"Eh?" Jiang Yuan was stunned, and then said, "I want to say, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
There was sudden silence for a few seconds.
Dai Yin lowered his head and just wanted to dive into the millet porridge in front of him.
After waiting for a few seconds to digest his embarrassment alone, he raised his head and asked Jiang Yuan about the cooperation he mentioned.
