Today is the last all-element rehearsal before the Spring Festival Gala.
There are more than 50 programs in the entire party, and every all-element rehearsal will be treated as a formal program.
Before today, the organizing committee has filmed three complete program videos. Although each program has been rehearsed many times, actors will still make performance mistakes during live performances. In this case, the organizing committee needs to
Think about the preparation work.
Although the Spring Festival Gala is broadcast live, there will be a delay of about thirty seconds. This thirty-second delay is to deal with possible errors in the program, so some pre-recorded material will be cut in to supplement it.
The Kyoto Opera House rented two buses in advance to take the musicians from the Opera House to Fuxing Road, the CCTV building.
Liao Yuan, carrying a backpack and a baseball cap, walked with dozens of musicians and the staff to the backstage lounge of the studio.
It was the first time for the musicians of the Kyoto Opera House to come for a full rehearsal, which was quite surprising in other program units, but then everyone realized that this was probably the only program that had never appeared before, "Defending the Yellow River", so they all
Everyone's eyes brightened.
So in the huge corridor, some dancers in national costumes, sketch actors with fake beards, magicians in tuxedos, and glamorous star singers all stopped in place and looked at their feet.
The Kyoto Opera House team consists of fifty or sixty people.
Soon, Liao Yuan, who was surrounded in the middle and wearing a baseball cap, came into everyone's sight.
Singer Zhan Minghan blushed with excitement. He was the first to cross the crowd, stretched out his hands, and walked towards Liao Yuan with a smile on his face: "Teacher Liao, I finally see you!"
Someone snickered behind me.
"This Zhan Minghan has been talking about looking for Liao Yuan since the first rehearsal. He is almost obsessed."
"Mid-life crisis..."
"We only added "The Masked Singer" this year and won the championship. Is it still in danger?"
"The Weibo he posted recently didn't even get 500 retweets. Isn't this a crisis?"
"Yes, Zhan Minghan's singing skills are good, but he doesn't have a personal masterpiece, which is very embarrassing."
Before this year, Zhan Minghan was unknown, just a tenor singer who was on the fringes of the entertainment industry.
But since she participated in the singing competition program "The Masked Singer" organized by Shonan Satellite TV, she has become popular all the way.
Especially a few months ago, after winning the show, her popularity skyrocketed and she almost became a first-tier singer.
However, fans are very realistic. After taking off the mask, because of his age, appearance and other external conditions, he does not meet the current fans' worship standards for Xiaoxianrou, so he has not been popular for a long time.
Although he accepted the invitation from CCTV, both inside and outside the industry, it is obvious that Zhan Minghan's popularity is gradually declining with the end of "The Masked Singer".
His representative works are just some cover songs.
As for personal original works, they are not very popular.
Therefore, Zhan Minghan urgently needs some excellent works to stabilize or even increase his popularity.
The emergence of grand pianist Liao Yuan can be said to have dropped a nuclear bomb in the entertainment industry, causing all singers to be shocked.
Not to mention the cheating he wrote for Lucky Girl 101, "Light Years Away", which appeared at Shonan TV's New Year's Eve concert not long ago, has detonated the entire entertainment industry and has been on Weibo's hot search list for three consecutive days.
No. 1 on the list, unrivaled in popularity
Even now, "Light Years Away" is still popular on major music websites, with hundreds of thousands of comments.
There are rumors and rumors that Hong Kong singing queen Ai Shidu personally visited Liao Yuan and invited him to cooperate.
Not to mention other famous or unknown singers, the number of them is like crucian carp crossing the river, countless.
Like many singers, after learning about Liao Yuan's itinerary, Zhan Minghan impatiently went to the hotel to surround Liao Yuan.
But he returned empty-handed time and time again, without even a chance to meet Liao Yuan.
Now, Liao Yuan finally appeared backstage at the Spring Festival Gala studio, and Zhan Minghan suddenly became excited.
This is the first-come-first-served position near the water!
After experiencing "The King of Masked Singer", he has understood that although the stage is important, it only provides a place for display. No matter how big the stage is, it is impossible for a singer to be popular forever.
When a singer leaves the stage, his or her popularity will gradually decline if there are no outstanding works to maintain it.
If he can cooperate with Liao Yuan, then with his singing skills, he will definitely reach a decisive stage in the music world.
In the past few days, whenever this idea came to his mind, Zhan Minghan was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.
Therefore, Zhan Minghan completely turned a deaf ear to the whispers of the people behind him.
Such a face-to-face opportunity is quite rare, he must seize it, seize it firmly.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhan Minghan was excited and incoherent. He held Liao Yuan's hand vigorously and shook it constantly: "I really, really like your works and can be considered a fan of yours. My name is Zhan Minghan. I am a
singer……"
Although the entire corridor is very spacious, it becomes crowded instantly when there are more people.
Security personnel witnessed this scene and quickly stepped forward to divert the crowd.
Those who can come to the Spring Festival Gala are all top figures in the industry. Although Liao Yuan has been very popular recently, most people just looked at him curiously and then turned around and left.
But even so, there are still many people following closely, wanting to chat with Liao Yuan and get acquainted with him.
As Liao Yuan walked, he talked politely with Zhan Minghan.
The latter was like a dog-skin plaster, following Liao Yuan, laughing and saying: "You don't know, when I learned that you were on the list of the Spring Festival Gala, I rushed to the capital as soon as possible to watch your "Light Years"
"Besides" I've been reciting it by heart recently, and other works, "If There's an Afterlife" and "Border of Lake Baikal" are all in my playlist. I admire your talent very much, haha, I've been in Beijing since
It’s been a month, but it’s a pity that I never had the chance to meet my brother. It’s so late to meet him now!”
Zhan Minghan's enthusiasm was seen by the people around him, and they sneered inwardly.
If you lick the dog until the end, you will have nothing left.
At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly stepped forward and said enthusiastically: "Teacher Liao, I am Hou Kangsheng. You can call me A Sheng. I am your fan. This is the first time we meet. Please accept my name."
A gift for little fans.”
Oops, another licking dog!
Everyone turned around and saw a young man with short burgundy hair, wearing a punk-style black leather jacket, holding a box of gifts, his hands stretched out, smiling and bending over, while handing the gift to Liao Yuan, with an attitude
Very respectful.
Liao Yuan was stunned. He pushed the gift back and said with a smile: "Hello Asheng, I don't accept gifts."
Hou Kangsheng was stunned for a moment, his face turned red and he said: "It's not something valuable, just a little bit of my heart..."
At this time, Zhang Qiming next to him smiled and said: "My friend, Mr. Liao has to rehearse later..."
"I know, I won't disturb Teacher Liao's rehearsal, but you must accept this gift!"
After Hou Kangsheng finished speaking, he forced the gift in his hand to Liao Yuan, then turned and left.
"Hey, this friend..."
When Zhang Qiming saw this, he wanted to say something, but Hou Kangsheng had already run away and ran out of sight.
Liao Yuan reluctantly accepted the gift. Zhan Minghan next to him smiled and said: "Is this Hou Kangsheng also a singer? Why don't I have any impression? I haven't seen it before in rehearsals. Could it be that he sneaked in? CCTV's security check is too unreliable now.
It’s done.”
Someone replied: "Hou Kangsheng is the son of Director Hou."
Director Hou?
Zhan Minghan murmured, and CCTV director Hou Yujun suddenly sounded in his mind. His face suddenly changed, and he laughed dryly and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Hou. I thought he looked so familiar, and he looked so similar to his father. I said it a few days ago.
I saw Director Hou coming to inspect in the studio. Director Hou is handsome and handsome. I didn’t expect Mr. Hou to have inherited his father’s genes. He is so handsome that he looks like a hero from a young boy, haha!”
What a licking dog...
People around were horrified.
At this time, Liao Yuan and others had arrived at the lounge. When Zhan Minghan wanted to follow him in, Zhang Qiming raised his hand and stopped him: "Mr. Zhan, we need some space to discuss the upcoming rehearsal. If you
Nothing……"
"understand!"
Zhan Minghan nodded quickly, then stood on tiptoes, raised his head and shouted to Liao Yuan in the room: "Teacher Liao, after the rehearsal is over, you must have a meal!"
…
The lounge of the Kyoto Opera House is very large and was converted from a dance studio, specifically for the musicians of the opera house to practice.
According to the program schedule, "Defend the Yellow River" is arranged in the midfield, that is, around nine o'clock in the evening, and the performance cannot exceed six minutes and thirteen seconds, which is about the same length as the performance at the state banquet.
The last all-element rehearsal was taken very seriously by the Spring Festival Gala Organizing Committee, because this time, in addition to CCTV Director Hou Yujun, even Vice Minister of Culture Guo Gan was personally present to provide guidance.
In the studio, a group of folk dance programs are rehearsing.
In the audience, Xiang Weihong smiled and introduced to the two leaders: "This is the fourth all-element rehearsal. All program recordings have been backed up. This can ensure that even if there is no accident, the live broadcast situation can be rectified as soon as possible.
It will not affect the overall situation."
Hou Yujun nodded and asked, "Are the people from the Kyoto Opera House here?"
Xiang Weihong was stunned and said quickly: "Here we are, we are preparing in the lounge now."
Hou Yujun glanced at Minister Guo and ordered: "Let them rehearse in advance. Don't keep Minister Guo waiting for a long time."
Xiang Weihong woke up and quickly picked up the intercom: "Xiao Wang, "Defend the Yellow River" is scheduled for the next show! What? Don't ask why, arrange it immediately!"
At this time, Guo Qian turned around and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I'm just here to discuss some work matters with Director Hou. Although "Defending the Yellow River" is a program appointed by the director, I have listened to it so many times that my ears are filled with tears.
The cocoon is here, it sounds the same anytime."
Although Minister Guo said this, Xiang Weihong was very party-minded and replied with a smile: "Minister Guo misunderstood. In fact, the next show in the program sequence is "Defending the Yellow River"."
Guo Gan smiled, nodded and said, "That's fine, just listen by the way?"
"Yes, let's listen." Hou Yujun laughed.
…
After receiving the notice from the recorder, the musicians at the Kyoto Opera House were startled.
"Isn't that right? We have two more shows ahead of us, right?" Zhang Qiming asked doubtfully.
The recorder also scratched his head: "This is the guide's order. It may be that the plan has changed and there is a temporary arrangement."
Everyone looked at each other, but still packed up their instruments and followed the notes to the studio.
The piano in the lounge was carefully carried onto the rail car by a group of staff and pushed to the studio.
When everyone walked to the stage, they immediately felt relaxed and happy.
"really big!"
"This is the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. It's so beautifully decorated!"
"It's so cool to play in a place like this!"
"Thanks to Teacher Liao for this!"
"Yes, without Teacher Liao, we might not be able to attend the Spring Festival Gala in our lifetime."
"Look at your achievements. We've already attended the state banquet. Why do you still care about a Spring Festival Gala?"
"...666, comrade!"
"Floating, keep floating!"
The last folk dance program had just finished. The musicians of the Kyoto Opera House made preparations and then walked onto the stage one by one in the order they had arranged in advance.
Violinist Pei Hongyu stood on the left side of the crowd, her palms nervous and full of sweat.
Everyone was almost in the same state as Pei Hongyu at the moment. Even if it was just a rehearsal, their hearts were beating fast.
After everyone sat on the chairs and took a few deep breaths, they felt a sense of peace.
At the same time, Liao Yuan also came to the bottom of the stage. He will ride on the elevator together with the piano and appear on the stage.
Music conductor Zhang Qiming took out his baton, stood on the podium, his eyes dropped slightly, and then slowly raised his hands.
Everything is ready.
Offstage, stage director Hou Yujun scanned the musicians on the stage and asked, "Which one is Liao Yuan?"
Xiang Weihong hurriedly replied: "This is a piano concerto. Liao Yuan is the protagonist. He will appear from the lifting platform with the piano later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qiming waved his baton, and a majestic sea of various orchestral instruments played in unison. At this moment, wonderful music filled the entire studio.
At the front of the stage, Liao Yuan and the S-277 piano also slowly ascended on the lift platform.
When the lifting platform stabilized and the instrumental concerto had just come to an end, Liao Yuan immediately stepped on the pedal. Then, he quickly raised his hands, falling like meteors, and hit the keys with an invincible momentum.
A huge trilling sound like "bang".
Immediately afterwards, those hands were like a pair of hot wheels, starting to quickly crush the keys from left to right, bursting out a classic movement that flew down three thousand feet!
Although he claimed to have listened to it many times, Minister Guo could not help but tremble in his heart when the piano made a loud sound.
It seems that the wind is roaring in my ears, horses are roaring, and the Yellow River is roaring...
Director Xiang Weihong and stage director Hou Yujun, who were listening to a live performance for the first time, were completely dumbfounded and deeply shocked.
They suddenly remembered what Minister Guo had just mentioned inadvertently:
There are two pianists in this world.
A pianist named Liao Yuan.
One pianist calls the other.
ps: Thanks to Shan Qingying, little scoundrel for the reward. Holy shit, are you devils? Are you saying what fans should say? What about the challenge? Do you look down on the street? Damn you, you are so angry! I feel a little warm.
Forget it if you don’t give it, you’re adding insult to injury, just wait for me, don’t leave after school
