In the sea of people, countless artists stepped out of cars, smiling and waving in the face of the spotlights that kept shining in the hands of reporters around them.
The scene is no less than a red carpet show at an awards ceremony. Every artist arriving at the CCTV building will be baptized by the lightning of media lights and the fanatical screams of many fans.
When a black Rolls-Royce appeared on the scene, the focus of the audience gathered in an instant.
The car slowly stopped at the entrance. When the door opened, a tall and tall Zheng Qian, wearing a black and purple tuxedo, revealing a pair of long legs, appeared in front of everyone.
All the media reporters who were taking pictures had their eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but want to get over the obstruction of the security personnel and take pictures of Zheng Qian from all directions at 360 degrees without any blind spots.
"Come on Zheng Qian!"
"Happy New Year!"
"We love you! We will always support you!"
Amid the screams of a group of fans, a reporter asked loudly: "This year's Spring Festival Gala is another star-studded year. Zheng Qian, as the most watched singer in the Spring Festival Gala, are you nervous now?"
"Not bad!" Zheng Qian said with a smile, then turned around and took out a jade hand from the car.
The next moment, Ke Lan, who was fully 1.74 meters tall, walked out slowly.
She was wearing a dark red evening dress, and she didn't seem to care about the cold winter wind at the moment. Her legs were as white as jade, paired with the same dark red high heels, which made her taller and taller.
"Who is this?"
"She's very beautiful. Are you the guest of honor tonight?"
"Her name is Ke Lan. She is the violinist tonight. Didn't you read the report?"
"I heard that he is one of the earliest artists signed by Yuexiang Media. It seems that he will be highly praised for being able to appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage!"
"These two people stand together, bright red and purple, so pleasing to the eye!"
"A talented man and a beautiful woman! Not bad, not bad!"
Zheng Qian and Ke Lan appeared hand in hand at the Spring Festival Gala, which can be said to have set off waves of sparks and lightning.
The spotlights of countless cameras lit up at this moment, and the surroundings suddenly seemed like daylight.
Ke Lan smiled and waved to the fans and media people around him, while holding Zheng Qian's arm, he whispered: "I'm a little nervous!"
"I said I was nervous too, do you believe it?" Zheng Qian waved and said with a smile on his face.
Ke Lan felt the stiff muscles on Zheng Qian's arms and nodded slightly.
Under the spotlight, the two entered the CCTV building and went to the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala program.
In the corridor, CCTV contracted host Zhang Xueyi was leading photographer Fu around the corridor, various lounges, and costume rooms, conducting relevant interviews with the performers of each program.
Although the Spring Festival Gala starts at eight o'clock, at seven o'clock, major channels such as CCTV One, News Channel, Variety Show Channel, etc. have already started live broadcasts to warm up for the arrival of the Spring Festival Gala.
Zhang Xueyi is 27 years old this year. She first served as a host at Jinmen Satellite TV. In the past two years, she has emerged in the industry and has become famous. She has just been transferred to CCTV from a local station.
Being able to occupy the two hours of live broadcast time before the Spring Festival Gala is enough to show the importance Zhang Xueyi receives in Taiwan.
And Zhang Xueyi lived up to expectations. From the beginning of the live broadcast, she was able to interview every performer with ease.
Every interview was conducted in a polite and courteous manner, with no barriers to verbal communication, and his professional quality is commendable.
At this moment, although the Spring Festival Gala has not yet started, the number of viewers sitting in front of the TV is already much larger than usual.
The viewership rating is usually only 6.7%, but now it has increased nearly six times to close to 40%!
Even for previous Spring Festival Galas, it is incredible that the warm-up before the show can achieve such ratings.
It was only five years ago that we had such a performance on Millennium New Year's Eve.
Although this is due to the fact that several major channels are broadcasting live at the same time, on the other hand, it also proves that there are hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of viewers across the country, turning on the TV at home and watching the warm-up interviews before the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Just thinking of this made Zhang Xueyi excited, and she became even more motivated during the interview.
Just after finishing the interview with an old artist, Zhang Xueyi noticed the chatter around her.
When Zheng Qian's name entered her ears, Zhang Xueyi immediately stopped in her tracks, then turned around without hesitation and led the photographer towards the first floor.
Who is Zheng Qian?
One of the biggest highlights of this year’s Spring Festival Gala!
One of the most popular stars of our time and the most talented person in the music industry!
After arriving at the lobby on the first floor, Zhang Xueyi saw Zheng Qian who was smiling and chatting with someone. When she saw the figure of the jade tree facing the wind, her eyes suddenly lit up and she walked over quickly.
At this time, Zheng Qian was chatting with Cai Gaoxiang, Fanghua and others who he met by chance. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of Mao Miaorui, who was wandering not far away, waving to him, and quickly ran over, still holding a mobile phone in his right hand.
However, when he saw Mao Miaorui, Zheng Qian also saw a female reporter and photographer running towards him behind Mao Miaorui. Judging from their appearance, they were obviously CCTV employees.
"Brother Qian, your home phone number." Mao Miaorui approached and handed the phone to Li Qing.
After Li Qing took it, he glanced at the caller ID, then waved to Zhang Xueyi, who was excitedly about to speak to him. After looking at the live broadcast footage, he walked to the corner and started to answer the phone.
"Hello? Dad! Happy New Year!"
On the other side, Zhang Xueyi's cheerful expression suddenly turned stiff after Zheng Qian waved to her.
You know, this is a live broadcast.
Hundreds of millions of Chinese across the country and even around the world are paying attention to this place, but facing the camera, Zheng Qian not only remained unmoved, but also waved his hand to himself with a look of disgust...
At that moment, Zhang Xueyi felt her self-esteem was frustrated, and there was even a hint of embarrassment on her face...
But then she immediately restrained these negative emotions and turned to look at Ke Lan, Cai Gaoxiang and others.
In less than three seconds, she thought of the interview words and began to interview several people seriously. In the blink of an eye, she filled the gap of being rejected by Zheng Qian.
In fact, Cai Gaoxiang and others were completely stunned.
Because they understood the influence of the Spring Festival Gala, they greatly admired Zheng Qian's actions.
Even if it's just a warm-up live broadcast before the Spring Festival Gala, hundreds of millions of eyes are watching at the same time. Being able to show your face for just one second at this time will definitely have an extraordinary advertising effect.
But look at people, just to answer a phone call, they directly reject such an opportunity...
In Shenzhen, Zheng Wei and Liang Rong, who were on the phone with their son, clearly saw their son pick up the phone and wave to the camera to refuse the interview after the TV screen was delayed for a few seconds.
screen.
For a moment, Zheng Wei and Liang Rong looked at each other, both dumbfounded.
This phone call was really bad time!
Zheng Wei's voice was trembling: "Son, it's Spring Festival Gala time now. It's broadcast live across the country. You refuse to be interviewed by the CCTV host in front of the national audience. You are so brave!"
Liang Rong also came to her senses and said quickly: "Hurry up and let your son be interviewed!"
"fine,
At this time, listening to the voices of his parents on the phone, Zheng Qian suddenly felt that it was a bit abrupt. Although the host was interviewing others, his eyes glanced at him from time to time, so he hurriedly ended the call.
, smile back at the other person.
Zhang Xueyi was fascinated by this smile and her heart beat several times. She then hurriedly ended the interview and walked quickly towards Zheng Qian with her photographer Fu.
"Zheng Qian, welcome to the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast. I am Zhang Xueyi, the off-site host of the Spring Festival Gala..."
Zheng Qian smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Miss Zhang."
Zhang Xueyi shook hands with Zheng Qian happily, then asked with a smile: "How are you feeling now? Are you excited?"
"I'm very excited." Zheng Qian said with a smile: "After all, it is the Spring Festival Gala, the most watched program in the world, and also the highest stage in the minds of entertainers across the country. It is our honor to be on the Spring Festival Gala."
Zhang Xueyi was very satisfied with Zheng Qian's answer and continued to ask: "According to the program list previously disclosed by the Spring Festival Gala director team, there are a total of five songs related to you tonight. We all know that one of them is an original song "Time is All".
"Where Are You Going?" requires you to sing on stage, but in addition, there are also songs "Chinese" by the Baodao girl group S.V.E, as well as "Good Days" sung by singer Jiang Yunqiu, and "No ** There Is No New"
"China" is a piece sung by the chorus of the Coal Mine Art Troupe. It is said that these works were all created by you yourself?"
"Yes!"
Zheng Qian nodded and said: ""Chinese" is a work that has been released and is very popular. I am very happy to see that this song is sung by S.V.E with all its heart and promotes Chinese culture. As for "Good Days" and "Nothing Without **"
"New China" is the song that will be released for the first time tonight. I believe the audience will like these two songs."
"It seems that Zheng Qian is very good at songs that promote the main theme!" Zhang Xueyi gave a thumbs up: "The songs you composed "We Soldiers" and "My Motherland" are also popular songs. They are really talented and amazing."
"Thank you!" Zheng Qian said humbly.
Zhang Xueyi enjoyed the process of interviewing and chatting with Zheng Qian, but time was limited. After a few more interviews, Zhang Xueyi left with satisfaction.
It's approaching eight o'clock.
Zheng Qian, Ke Lan, Cai Gaoxiang and others came to the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala and began to wait for the arrangement of director Wang Weihong.
Cai Gaoxiang, as one of the guests who has participated in the Spring Festival Gala many times, naturally takes great care of Zheng Qian, so they even share a lounge.
There were still ten minutes left before the Spring Festival Gala started, and Zheng Qian and others filed into the guest seats one after another.
In front of the guest seats, there were many round tables, and the more important celebrities from all walks of life had already sat down at these round tables.
Zheng Qian, Cai Gaoxiang and others also began to sit at the round table under the guidance of the staff.
At this time, the entire studio auditorium was filled with people, and director Wang Weihong was constantly making arrangements with the intercom.
The show is about to begin.
But what Zheng Qian didn't expect was that the group leader Jiang Yunqiu, who had been performing overseas and had not been masked for a long time, quietly sat down next to him.
"Zheng Qian?" Jiang Yunqiu said.
Zheng Qian originally wanted to pretend not to see it, but he never expected that Captain Jiang would actually sit at his table. Cai Gaoxiang, Ke Lan, Xu Jiaren, Chen Qi, and Tian Shilan all looked at him curiously when they saw the slight change in Brother Qian's face.
Xiang Jiang Yunqiu.
"Captain Jiang, I finally see you!"
Zheng Qian looked happy.
He had seen photos of Jiang Yunqiu at work, and he still had a deep memory of Jiang Yunqiu's beautiful face. Although she was in her early forties, she still looked like a girl in her twenties, which was stunning.
To be able to hold a high position at such a young age, his background is naturally unfathomable.
For the leader of the General Political Department Song and Dance Ensemble who often represented the country in various concert halls abroad, Zheng Qian also had deep respect and fear from the bottom of his heart, lest he leave a bad impression.
"I was performing in Vienna some time ago and suddenly heard some local bands playing "March of the Iron Torrent". I was very excited. Later I learned that this piece of music was composed by a Chinese. I was very emotional at that time. There are so many talents in China.
I didn’t expect that this piece of music would be composed by a cadre of our General Political Department’s Creative Studio, and he is so young, which is amazing.”
Jiang Yunqiu had a smile in her eyes and spoke in a calm tone, "Keep up your efforts and contribute to our cultural undertakings."
"Keep your mission in mind." Zheng Qian said seriously.
Jiang Yunqiu smiled and said: "I would also like to thank you for composing "Good Days", otherwise I wouldn't know what to sing for this year's Spring Festival Gala."
Zheng Qian smiled shyly.
Cai Gaoxiang said with a smile at this time: "Yunqiu, Zheng Qian is a good seedling. He should be trained more. He will be able to shoulder the important task in the future."
"He can still learn something from Lou Ze now."
Jiang Yunqiu said: "He is still young, and promoting him too early is tantamount to flattery. If he has more experience and accumulates enough, everything will fall into place."
When Zheng Qian heard this, he quickly said yes.
Seeing Zheng Qian's attitude, Tian Shilan curiously asked Xu Jiaren in a low voice: "Who is this?"
"I can't explain it in one sentence or two. To put it simply, it's Zheng Qian's superior's superior's superior..."
Xu Jiaren whispered: "They can ban us with just one word. It's that simple."
Tian Shilan's eyes widened, and she quickly sat up straight, not daring to take a breath.
The same was true for Ke Lan. Seeing that Brother Qian, who used to be full of magic weapons, was now being treated obediently, he was curious about Jiang Yunqiu, but he also sat upright and did not dare to slack off.
At this time, the eight o'clock bell rang.
The 2005 Spring Festival Gala, the world's largest, most watched variety show with the highest ratings and the most far-reaching influence, has officially begun.
The first thing to come on stage was a group of dancers with rooster combs on their heads, waving ribbons and stepping onto the stage.
At the same time, amid the festive music and singing, another group of dancers took the stage, and representatives of various ethnic groups came on stage, carrying flower baskets and throwing candies and other snacks to the hundreds of guests present.
Immediately afterwards, amidst jubilant applause, four famous CCTV hosts, Zhao Zhongxing, Feng Liping, Bi Jun and Zhu Tao, dressed in grand formal attires, walked onto the stage together.
Zhao Zhongxing’s rich voice was the first to ring: “Viewers, what you are watching now is the simultaneous live broadcast of CCTV Comprehensive Channel, Chinese International Channel, English International Channel, Spanish International Channel, French International Channel and People’s Broadcasting Station.
2005 Spring Festival Gala."
Zhu Tao was the second to speak: "At this moment of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, first of all we would like to say Happy New Year to the people of all ethnic groups across the country, to our compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao, to our compatriots in Taiwan, overseas Chinese, and to our friends from all over the world!
"
Bi Jun continued: "At the same time, we would also like to congratulate all the commanders and fighters of the People's Liberation Army, the officers and soldiers of the troops, the police from all sides, and those who still stick to their posts! We give you -"
