Entertaining Children

  Chapter 475 Spring Festival Evening Backstage

  The effect of the first rehearsal was very good, and it also gave great confidence to several people who participated in the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. Of course, it is the second time for Chen Chen to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, but compared with his rap song "Play" last year, this time "The Great Wall" not only sings, raps and dances, but also has to pay attention to other people's The difficulty of cooperation is a lot higher, so his nervousness is actually no less than that of Xiao Yao, Gong Chen and Xu Yuan who participated in the Spring Festival Gala for the first time.

  Almost ten days later, the Spring Festival Gala program group conducted the second dress rehearsal and at the same time confirmed the final list of performances. The two programs of Xiao Yao and the other four performed well in the second rehearsal, and their programs passed smoothly, and they were on the final program list of this year's Spring Festival Gala. For a program, I prepared for nearly 20 days of practice for half a month. A winter vacation took almost half of it. This kind of effort was not in vain.

  The second rehearsal was over, Xiao Yao and others were also relieved, and then Anxin waited for the official live show on the night of New Year’s Eve two days later.

  At around 6 pm on New Year’s Eve, CCTV's No. 1 studio and backstage were all busy.

Due to the large number of actors participating in the performance, no matter how large the CCTV is, the number of lounges for the actors in this backstage is also limited. It is impossible to provide a separate lounge for the actors of each show. Many actors must share the lounge with other show actors. Waiting. Xiao Yao and Chen Chen’s show consisted of two lead singers, eight backing dancers, eight harmony voices, and a total of eighteen performers. This number is quite large, but the program group considers that Gong Chen and Xu Yuan are more familiar with Xiao Yao. , And they were all singing and dancing shows, so Gong Chen and Xu Yuan were still stuffed into their lounge.

There are only twenty actors in a lounge, plus the costume and make-up artist and the occasional staff, even if the CCTV lounge is large, it seems a bit crowded, but fortunately everyone has a good relationship with Xiao Yao , Staying together is also more harmonious.

  Suddenly, the door of the lounge was pushed open. Xiao Yao and others who were chatting and relaxing heard the movement and looked at the door. I saw a female reporter with a microphone walking in with a cameraman with a camera.

   "Hello, we are the team of reporters from the program group of "Through the Spring Festival Gala", can we interview you?" After the female reporter entered the door, she greeted the people in the lounge very politely.

  The Spring Festival Gala officially starts at 8 pm, but the pre-live broadcast report has already started in the afternoon, aiming to report some on-stage and behind-the-scenes stories and preparations for people who pay attention to the Spring Festival Gala. This is also a practice in recent years. Looking at the big CCTV logo on the female reporter's microphone, the people in the lounge would naturally not refuse.

   Seeing the actors in the lounge nod their heads, smiled and stood up to greet them. The female reporter nodded to the cameraman behind him to turn on the camera and connected to the studio in front.

"Host, I’m Yu Hua, I’m doing an interview in the backstage lounge of the Spring Festival Gala. Now standing behind me is a performance team of two singing and dancing shows. Let’s say hello to our friends who are watching the live broadcast." As Yu Hua said, he deliberately gave way to the side.

   "Hello, audience friends." Xiao Yao and others all squeezed in front of the camera and waved. Then the eight backing dancers and the eight harmony vocalists stepped away with interest, leaving only the four singers including Xiao Yao standing in front of the camera. They all know that they are only supporting roles, and if the reporter wants to interview, they must find four singers.

"These four are very young singers, young audiences should be familiar with and like them..." Yu Hua stood back in front of the camera lens and introduced, suddenly stopped and pressed the earphones in his ears, laughing. He said, "Well, I know Zhang Qiong, you are also very familiar with and like Xiao Yao, you have to tell the national audience that you are not young anymore, and I can't help it!"

"Let me just briefly interview a few of you." Yu Hua said, standing next to Chen Chen and asked, "Chen Chen, if I remember correctly, you should be the only singer in this room who has participated in the Spring Festival Gala before. Yes, how are you feeling now, are you more relaxed than the three of them?"

"I am honored to be able to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala performance. I still feel excited and looking forward to it." Chen Chen smiled and said to the camera, "Speaking of relaxation, it is indeed a bit more relaxed than last year. Except for the second time I participated this year, it is more The most important thing is that this year I will perform with my good brother. I feel a lot more relaxed with his enchanting villain in the nearby town hall. Unlike last year, he wrote a song for the Spring Festival Gala and recommended me to sing, but he himself did not come." With that said, Chen Chen deliberately turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yao.

   "Brother, I was only a middle school student last year, or a third year in high school." Xiao Yao said helplessly.

"How about you two? How do you feel about participating in the Spring Festival Gala this year?" Yu Hua knew that the central figure in this room was Xiao Yao, and deliberately put him at the end, so after asking Chen Chen, he turned to Gong Chenhe Xu Yuandao.

   "I am very happy to be able to participate in the performance of the Spring Festival Gala, I am a little nervous." Gong Chen replied simply.

   "Me too, I hope audience friends can like our performance tonight." Xu Yuan also smiled and waved.

  "Can you give us a brief introduction to the repertoire you are going to perform tonight?" Yu Hua asked again.

As early as a week ago, various versions of the Spring Festival Gala program were circulated on the Internet. Now it has been less than two hours before the party officially began. The program list does not need to be kept secret. It is also done in the past few years for the actors to introduce the repertoire to be performed. A common problem in the live broadcast of "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala."

"The song we sang is "Songs Not for Who", and the scenes in the MV will be played during the performance." Xu Yuan introduced, "Thank you to the Spring Festival Gala director group for giving us this rare opportunity. Of course, we also want to thank you. This person wrote us such a good song and produced such a meaningful MV. This is also an important reason why we can appear here tonight." As he said, Xu Yuan also spread his palms and pointed them together. Xiao Yao by his side.

"I know that you wrote this song by Xiao Yao for the two of them," Yu Hua finally turned to Xiao Yao and said, "I also know that there is a rumor about you, saying that as long as you perform in public, you will have an original new song. Will there be the original Chuangxin song on this spring evening?"

"No," Xiao Yao said with a smile and shook his head. "This is the Spring Festival Gala. The program review is very strict. You can't go on any program, unless it's the "Play" that I wrote to Chen Chen last year, specifically for the Spring Festival Gala. I wrote a new song, otherwise it’s hard to choose, so I don’t want to play it casually."

   "Then what is your show tonight?" Yu Hua then asked.

   ""The Great Wall", a song that I have performed before, I think some audiences have an impression." Xiao Yao smiled, "but it doesn't matter if you don't have an impression, I can give you a hint."

  "Prompt?" Yu Hua was a little bit puzzled. Before the problem could be heard, he saw a light on the clothes of Xiao Yao, Chen Chen, and the dancers next to him.

"Wow, what a cool performance costume," Yu Hua exclaimed, and then asked with a deliberate smile, "This should be your secret weapon? It's revealed in our show in advance, aren't you afraid that the director team will trouble you ?"

"Actually, this is not the first time we have performed in this costume. Some audiences who have seen it have already known it." Xiao Yao smiled indifferently, "But what I want to say is that we are far more than performing in formal performances. It’s a little bit on show now. And our dance today is different from the previous performances. Even the audience who watched our song performance before should be surprised.” Just as Xiao Yao was speaking, The lights on the clothes of the ten people suddenly went out again.

   "Okay, then we will wait and see, thank you for accepting my interview." Yu Hua said with a smile, ready to leave.

  "Oh~I'm interviewing, don't you delay you?" Just at this moment, the door of Xiao Yao and the rest room was pushed open again. Yu Hua looked back and saw a middle-aged woman in a navy uniform walked in with a smile.

  "Hello, Teacher Su!" Several young singers came and greeted them politely.

  The name of the visitor is Su Xiao, and his military uniform epaulettes show his rank as a major general. Unlike the celebrities who were specially recruited into the military art troupe after becoming famous, Su Xiao joined the army when he was less than 20 years old. Later, he was transferred to the navy art troupe because of his outstanding literary talent. He participated in the CCTV singing competition more than 20 years ago. At that time, he was already an official soldier, and later going to Germany to study vocal music was also assigned by the state. In recent years, in addition to relatively large-scale national performances and military condolences, she has not participated in any local variety show performances, and she has not been seen in ordinary commercial performances. For such characters, everyone still respects them. of.

"Ms. Su Xiao, why are you here?" Yu Hua hurriedly signaled. The cameraman immediately pointed the camera at Su Xiao, and Yu Hua also extended the microphone to Su Xiao and asked, "You are here to care. Is it to guide these younger generations?"

Su Xiao is a national first-class actor and popular singing singer. He is already a figure close to the national treasure level. Usually there should be no intersection with these so-called idol stars in the entertainment circle. Yu Hua is also very surprised why Su Xiao does. Come to Xiaoyao's lounge for these young idol star singers.

   "I can't talk about guidance, I just care about it," Su Xiao smiled and said, "The most important thing, I'm here to thank you."

"Thanks? Who are you thanking?" Yu Hua suspiciously turned around and looked at the people in the lounge, and finally turned his eyes to the backing singers of the National Opera, saying that he could have a relationship with Su Xiao. Yes, the people in the National Opera, which also belong to the state unit, are the most likely. Yu Hua began to feel that his practice of ignoring the accompanying singers of the National Opera just now seemed a little inappropriate.

Su Xiao owed Yu Hua, walked in front of Xiao Yao, and proactively stretched out his hand: "I know Zhao Lanying has already thanked you, but she belongs to the Army Cultural and Industrial Corps and can only represent the Army. This time, I represent the Navy officer. We thank you."

   "You are serious, but I actually didn't do anything." Xiao Yao hurriedly bowed slightly and took Su Xiao's outstretched hand, and said modestly.

   "Huh?" The people in the lounge were dumbfounded. "What's the situation? Zhao Lanying thanked Xiao Yao on behalf of the army, and Su Xiao thanked Xiao Yao on behalf of the navy?"

   "Teacher Su, can you tell us what's going on? What do you want to thank Xiao Yao for?" Yu Hua hurriedly asked.

   "The "Night of the Military Port" I will sing tonight was written by Xiao Yao." Su Xiao smiled.

   "Xiao Yao also wrote you a song?" Yu Hua asked a little surprised.

  Yu Hua has gotten tonight’s playlist in advance, but only the name of the performer is on the playlist, and the creator is not indicated.

"It's not specifically written for me." Su Xiao said, "Xiao Yao once wrote ten military songs to Zhao Lanying of the Army Art Troupe. He said that as long as the performances related to the military, he authorized all to sing for free. "Night of the Military Port" is One of these ten songs, because it was obviously a navy song, Zhao Lanying gave this song to me. Although it was not written specifically for me, he wrote it for our army and our soldiers. He also gave the song to the army for free. Knowing that he is here, of course I have to come over and thank him."

   When Xiao Yao gave Zhao Lanying these ten songs, there was a restriction that they were free to authorize performances related to military themes. Although the Spring Festival Gala is not a military-themed party, praising the soldiers is also a regular part of the Spring Festival Gala, and it is also related to the military theme. Therefore, Su Xiao’s singing "Night of the Military Port" on the Spring Festival Gala is of course free.

   "Have you written military songs? And you wrote ten songs at once?" Xu Yuan asked Xiao Yao in surprise.

  "Have you sent them all for free?" Chen Chen also asked.

  Except for some of Xiao Yao’s college classmates, even Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying didn’t know about this incident, let alone Chen Chen, Gong Chen and Xu Yuan, so it was the first time they heard about it at this moment.

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "These military songs are written for the soldiers, so it's just that I pay a little respect to the soldiers who defend their homes and the country. I'm so embarrassed to ask for any copyright fees? "

   "So, I also want to express my gratitude and respect to you on behalf of the soldiers!" Su Xiao said, raising his hand to salute Xiao Yao.

"Don't," Xiao Yao quickly grabbed Su Xiao's arm in fright, "Don't do this, you just wrote a few songs, you have already thanked you just now, I can't stand the military salute." Let one The major general saluted himself, Xiao Yao really felt that he couldn't bear it.

"It's okay if you don't salute," Su Xiao watched Xiao Yao stop him from saluting, and didn't force it. He just smiled and said to Xiao Yao, "But if you have any good military works coming out in the future, how about going to me directly? I know. You are very good at writing songs.” As he said, Su Xiao took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Yao.

   "Of course there is no problem." Xiao Yao took it with his polite hands, and agreed happily.

  Something happens temporarily today, only one watch
