Chapter 649: Second visit to the Spring Festival Gala
The time waiting for the party to start seemed a bit long.
Fortunately, with the Internet connection, everyone can temporarily avoid the boring time in life through a small screen window.
Jiang Yuan has roughly screened the blessings on the private account, and chose to reply personally to the blessings that were closer or more sincere.
As for some other exchanges, or just ceremonial blessings, Jiang Yuan basically chose to reply with a Happy New Year in the form of group messages.
After completing these operations on his mobile phone, Jiang Yuan logged into his accounts on major social platforms and updated the blessings he had prepared in advance for his fans.
"Suddenly I'm a little nervous." Shang Yan'er suddenly whispered after completing a similar operation to Jiang Yuan.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuan also asked softly.
"Although I have rehearsed it many times, I feel that the show is still very big. If something goes wrong..." Shang Yan'er said worriedly.
"It's probably a good thing that there was a slight mistake. After all, the first time this song was performed, everyone might not know what went wrong." Jiang Yuan thought about it for a moment and said with relief.
"Besides, this song is obviously mostly my part and there are more parts." Jiang Yuan paused and added.
"That's right, it just feels like this is not just a show for the two of us..."
After Shang Yan'er explained a little bit, Jiang Yuan finally understood where the other party's pressure came from.
This time for the two-person show, although in the column of performers, the most important names are Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er.
But the entire performance, which lasted only a few minutes, still had the hard work of a large team behind it.
From the stage design meeting to the final implementation, the backup dancers and harmony team worked hard behind the scenes, and many artists even joined in.
"It was fine at first, but what you said made me stressed..." Jiang Yuan was originally in a very relaxed standby state, but after hearing Shang Yan'er's analysis, his mood became tense.
But fortunately, the preparations were relatively complete after all, so Jiang Yuan and Shang Yaner nervously reviewed the review for a while and found that there seemed to be nothing that needed to be adjusted, so they felt relieved again.
The party hasn't started yet, but it still attracts a lot of attention on the Internet. The program list just released in the afternoon has been ranked as the first hot search, and the popularity has already exploded.
Although many people say they don’t watch the Spring Festival Gala because the Spring Festival Gala programs are not good to watch.
But it is undeniable that the number of people watching the Spring Festival Gala still accounts for the vast majority of the country.
After all, as time goes by, when the Chinese New Year becomes less and less important every year, the broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala can bring a sense of familiarity that remains the same year after year.
Moreover, after last year's Spring Festival Gala, director Zhang Cunrui's team became famous in one fell swoop, arousing many young netizens' expectations for the party.
This year, it was announced that all members will sing for real. When everyone looked at the program list, they were the first to go to the singing program to see who the singers were in the lineup.
Fans of Jiang Yuan and Shang Yaner also immediately checked the Spring Festival Gala program.
Mainly because when the two were interviewed the day before, Shang Yan'er was a little unsure about what she said about the program.
Although the possibility is very small, there is no guarantee that this situation will actually happen, which makes fans lose their hope of watching the party.
The program list was very long, but fortunately the yellow characters on the red background were clearly visible. Many fans browsed through it quickly and did not see or confirm the names of the two people, but they succeeded in seeing the song titles.
As early as the Reuters photo of Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er appearing at the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal was posted online, most fans had already made some guesses about what the two would perform at the party.
After all, when the official album that the two collaborated on was just released, many people thought that one of the songs in it was very suitable for the party.
However, I did report that if it was actually this song, I was worried that the show would be known in advance and cause the song to be changed or cancelled, so the fans tacitly agreed not to mention it on the Internet.
Now that the song title appears on the program list, fans are immediately convinced.
Then when I looked at the names of the singers, it was indeed Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er. Then everyone started to celebrate and tell each other in the Super Talk and Yuan universe.
[Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with this song. When I listened to it before, I thought it was very suitable for a party!!]
[Holy shit, holy shit, I originally thought there would be a new song, but this song is going to be so popular live!]
[Before the party even started, I was already excited. I can’t imagine how happy I would be if I saw this performance while visiting relatives in the next few days. 】
[I was looking forward to the evening, but I actually had to wait until after ten o'clock to go on stage. 】
[During the previous interview, Brother Jiang said that the live dance of this song is very good. You must know that this is said after the tour has already started! I am really looking forward to it!!]
——
After it was confirmed that it was a single that everyone was familiar with and even knew, fans immediately became excited.
In addition, everyone on the Internet is also paying close attention to the program list for that night.
Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er were no exception. They also looked at the program list and were quite curious about the program in front of their stage.
After all, you still need to spend the time watching other people's performances before going on stage.
If possible, Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er would actually like to finish the performance earlier.
The Spring Festival Gala is not like other New Year's Eve parties where there is a saying that the later you show up, the more important the celebrity status will be.
On the contrary, when the party just started to be broadcast live, it was a time when the ratings were relatively high.
"It seems okay." Jiang Yuan studied the program.
From the perspective of an ordinary audience, Jiang Yuan would be slightly more interested in programs such as magic and dance.
Mainly for many language-based programs, when it comes to the party stage, either the scripts are restricted, or they are not effective and look awkward.
But programs like dance are generally well choreographed.
Singing programs are also quite promising after reforming real singing.
"It won't be so boring when the party starts." Shang Yan'er also nodded in agreement.
"Come on, come on, let's record some videos." After the two chatted about the program list for a while, Zhang Qing's two managers came over and started greeting them.
During such holidays, there are quite a lot of videos that need to be recorded, and they are basically all recorded during the same time period.
It took a lot of time to record the various platforms one by one.
Free time basically disappeared from this point on. After the recording, Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er went to have dinner with the team members.
Although I can't eat the New Year's Eve dinner right away, I still need to eat some to replenish my strength. After all, I have to wait until almost ten o'clock in the evening, which is still a relatively long period of time.
Although it was not a serious New Year's Eve dinner, Zhang Qing and others did their best to order a sumptuous meal.
When everyone gathers together to eat dinner, it feels like a New Year's atmosphere.
In such an occasion, Jiang Yuan blended in very well. On weekdays, he might feel that there were too many people and he couldn't adapt to it, but at this time of the Spring Festival, the excitement seemed just right.
After dinner, Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er returned to the scene to wait and touch up their makeup.
The whole backstage scene looked quite lively, with people running around everywhere.
Before the party officially started, Jiang Yuan and the two discussed again with the backup dancers to finalize the position and process of the performance, which once again eased the tension, and then calmed down and waited for the party to begin.
Time passed quickly without realizing it, and it wasn't long before it was almost time for the live broadcast of the party to begin.
While Jiang Yuan was holding her phone, the live broadcast started on time.
Together with Shang Yan'er, the two also watched the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala backstage, somewhat like a matryoshka doll.
The opening of the party was a New Year short film that was shot and edited in advance, and it was shot with great feeling.
Jiang Yuan and his team members got together to react to the short film. When there were many people, watching the party became much more interesting.
"This director feels that we can watch and interact with him later." Jiang Yuan and others just watched it happily, while Zhang Qing thought the film was well shot and asked her assistant to check it and write down the name.
The opening short film can only be regarded as an introduction, not the official opening.
After the short film screening ended, the screen finally cut to the live studio, and tonight's first program officially began.
The opening show's setting is very unusual. Unlike other singing shows, there are usually only two or three names in the singer's column.
The list of large-scale song and dance performances at the opening was listed in several lines, including many famous singers and actors.
What is different from last year is that these singers and actors have all gone through a certain selection process in terms of their singing skills.
Last year's gala, "Facing the Truth and Car Accidents," was considered a very effective program among young audiences, but in the eyes of some more traditional audiences, it was a program that was not popular.
Therefore, the stable performance of Jiang Yuan and Lu Qingge last year formed a strong contrast in the success of the rescue.
In terms of lineup selection this year, Zhang Cunrui chose artists who can sing both high and low to participate in the opening performance.
Basically, everyone's singing level is pretty good. Although it's definitely not as perfect as the later editing, it doesn't feel like there's too much of a step.
In addition, the song itself is not too difficult to perform, so the opening performance was pretty good at once, giving it a sense of New Year celebrations.
Even when singing, the expressions and movements of several actors became more natural, creating a certain program effect.
After watching the opening program, Jiang Yuan and others basically entered the normal state of watching the party.
While playing with my mobile phone and checking relevant updates, I would look up from time to time to look at the program being played on my tablet.
While Jiang Yuan was watching the show, he also chatted with fans on Yuan Universe.
As soon as Jiang Yuan landed, the chat area of Yuan Universe immediately became lively, and fans sent blessings and greetings to Jiang Yuan.
[I'm on standby. Have you had New Year's Eve dinner? 】
He casually posted a selfie of himself to share his current status, and then Jiang Yuan's mobile phone interface was refreshed with photos of the New Year's Eve dinner.
Jiang Yuan also selected some New Year's Eve dinner photos to like while looking at the pictures.
I said hello to Zhang Qing in advance, and fans who interacted with me that night would receive an exclusive surprise for the New Year.
The Yuan Universe app is also preparing to push an updated new version on New Year's Day. In addition to the lucky fans Jiang Yuan interacts with randomly, there are also a series of New Year welfare activities prepared for fans.
While waiting backstage, Jiang Yuan was active on Yuan Universe for a while, and then he was called into the studio together with Shang Yan'er.
After finding two seats in the auditorium and sitting down, Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er also watched the live version of the party.
The effect of the live program is definitely much better than that on the screen, and you can see the entire stage more completely and intuitively.
While watching the performance, from time to time the camera would focus on Jiang Yuan and the two of them.
"It feels like everyone is quite nervous." Shang Yan'er whispered to Jiang Yuan just after watching a singing program.
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, and just as he was about to respond, he realized that the camera had turned over at some point.
At the same time, the reaction of the two people watching the performance was also broadcast simultaneously on the live broadcast.
Although it only took up two or three seconds of footage, there were too many people watching the party.
So the screenshots of Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er's appearance were quickly posted to Yuan Universe, and fans felt quite strange for a while.
After all, Jiang Yuan just said hello and said he had to leave for a while, and then he saw the other person at the party, and there was an indescribable feeling that the distance had been shortened.
After getting used to the camera a little bit and making sure that the other person wouldn't get too close or keep filming them, Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er relaxed a little while watching the performance.
Our true feelings and thoughts about each program will also be discussed during or after the performance.
In this mode, time obviously passes much faster.
By the time the staff informed the two that they could start preparations, it was already very close to the official start of their show.
Returning to the backstage again, Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er quickly changed their costumes for the performance, then touched up their makeup and adjusted their looks to the best condition.
Then they entered the waiting phase together. Before the two people's program started, it happened to be the time for a short interlude to be played, so the two people had time to make some adjustments when they stood on the stage.
And when the short video ended, the camera cut directly back to the stage, and Jiang Yuan and Shang Yaner's Spring Festival Gala stage officially began.
