At the same time as determining the personnel, the work of selecting the repertoire is also in progress, but this work is much simpler, because it is enough to select the main theme songs from the old time and space, which are all ready-made, but to remove the songs with obvious characteristics of the times and not easy to modify, and finally selected 26 songs, which are basically songs that sing the main theme and have positive energy. The list of 81 Chinese Net ? (8) 8 (8) 1 Z (1) .?COM is:

On the Songhua River

The Ballad of the Great Wall

Ode to the Yellow River

Yellow River Cantata

Descendants of the Dragon

My Chinese heart

Heroic Battle Song

Singing about the Motherland

My homeland

Ode to the Motherland

Unity is strength

Our team to the sun

The Great Wall will never fall

Pearl of the Orient

Song of the Seven Sons

After the personnel and repertoire are selected, the next step is naturally to enter the rehearsal stage, and this is also the stage of whether the concert can be successful, and there is not much time left for the responsible group, only about 15-2o days in total. And these tasks can be handled by only seven people in the responsible team.

Because chorus is not simply a multi-person singing in unison, in fact, there are many forms, including simultaneous and mixed singing; Round singing, lead chorus, two-part, three-part, four-part chorus, and a cappella singing. There are accompaniment or a cappella singing, duets, trios, etc., but this time the performance is tight after all, and the participants are basically laymen, so it is impossible to play too many tricks, but it can't be too simple, most of the songs are in the form of mixed chorus and lead singing plus chorus, and a few are pure choruses, such as the March of the Volunteers, and the Yellow River Cantata is in the form of a duet, and the song of the seven sons is sung by the whole youth group, etc., basically each song has a different arrangement. In addition, there is the choreography, dance design, costumes, etc., which can be said to be quite a heavy task.

Fortunately, all the members of the band were very enthusiastic to help after completing their rehearsal projects, guiding the choir to sing, participating in the design of the dance performance, the interaction between the singers and dancers, and the choreography of the entire concert program, and even the discussion and work of the stage layout and costumes.

It turns out that after more than half a year of no serious things to do, these people in the band are a little unable to hold back, because in this era, there is no Internet, Without IFI, for modern people, this is almost a hellish life, even otaku can't stand it, not to mention that the people who engage in the band are more open-minded and outgoing people, I just feel empty and boring to the extreme, and now I finally have something serious to do, and it is my own professional business, these people naturally come up with twelve points of energy, and their enthusiasm and energy are far beyond the old time and space, and many people even sigh that if they had worked so hard, they would have become famous in the old time and space, so do you still need to run the boat to perform?

In this way, after 16 days of strict and hard rehearsals, including two more rehearsals, the whole concert has undergone some modifications and finally basically finalized, and today is an official audition, but also the last rehearsal in Tianjin, tomorrow afternoon, the singing troupe will go out to Shanghai by boat, and Mu Lin has taken a few technicians and a set of audio equipment to Shanghai two days ago, to start the preparatory preparations for the concert.

The audition was carried out in the grand banquet hall of the Lishunde Hotel, and invited more than 15o audiences, of which there were more than 4o people who crossed the party, basically the leadership, among the five executive committees, Wang Yunpeng in Qingdao, Xiao Jianjun in Dagukou, Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, Xu Ji all attended, and also invited members of consulates and some businessmen in Tianjin, about 3o people, the others are local celebrities and gentry in Tianjin, and there are ministers of the Qing court.

On the one hand, the responsible team showed the results of the rehearsal efforts in the past ten days, and on the other hand, it was also for the participants to feel the atmosphere of the formal performance and enhance the experience of the live performance. Another purpose is to see how people of this era react to this concert, which is also related to the effectiveness of this public opinion counterattack.

Prince Qing, Li Hongzhang, Zhao Shuqiao and others all stayed at the Li Shunde Hotel, and they also heard the singing of chorus rehearsals, and saw a large number of good-looking men and women, as well as teenagers coming and going, and they also vaguely heard some concerts, but this time they were all in line with the principle of low-key life, so they didn't ask much about it. But I didn't expect that overseas Chinese would invite themselves to watch this concert.

Before the Gengzi State Change, Prince Qing often went to the palace to accompany Cixi to watch the play, thinking that the concerts of overseas Chinese were similar to singing, so he was also quite interested, and wanted to see what was so strange about the dramas of overseas Chinese.

In the end, Li Hongzhang has seen a lot and knows that this kind of concert is different from Chinese drama, but a thing that foreigners have arisen from. In the past, when Li Hongzhang visited Europe, he was invited to watch concerts or operas in Europe in France, Britain, Germany, etc., but first, there is a difference between Chinese and Western cultures, and secondly, there is a language barrier, so every time Li Hongzhang is drowsy, but he has to hold on because of etiquette, but he didn't expect that overseas Chinese are good, but whether Li Hongzhang wants to or not, overseas Chinese can't help but give face. As for Zhao Shuqiao, Zhang Peilun, Li Jingfang and others, they are purely joining in the fun.

Li Shunde Hotel does not have a special concert hall, so it can only be renovated with a banquet hall, setting up a stage more than one meter high in the front, and hanging a scarlet tent, at the top of the tent, there is also a banner that reads: My Chinese Heart Large-scale Concert.

The audience's seating is also temporary, and there are 5 round tables in front of the stage, each round table is equipped with 6 chairs, and some tea and snacks are placed on the table. Prince Qing, Li Hongzhang, and Zhao Shuqiao were naturally the guests of honor this time, and they were arranged at the round table in the center, accompanied by Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, and Xu Ji, and the other four round tables were arranged to cross the group's other leaders, Zhang Peilun, Li Jingfang, and representatives of consulates of various countries. The rest were seated in the back row.

Although the few big characters on the banner are not arranged from right to left according to the custom of this era, Prince Qing, Li Hongzhang and others can still understand it, but they don't understand what it means. Now some people accuse overseas Chinese of deliberately despising the Qing court, but the Central Plains dynasties of the past dynasties also regarded themselves as China, so the Qing Dynasty and China are actually one, and the overseas Chinese have not yet accepted the Qing court's policy, so there is nothing wrong with replacing the Qing court with China.

It didn't take long for the people invited to watch it, the main light of the banquet hall was turned off, and the whole banquet was gray, and there were two spotlights on the left and right corners, shining two circular circles on the curtain, and at this time, from the seams of the two curtains, a man and a woman were squeezed out, which were the hosts of the concert, Zhang Yang and Li Ying.

In fact, this kind of concert does not have high requirements for the host, that is, to report the name of the repertoire, of course, sometimes I will say a few words about the scene, but on the whole it is still very simple, it can be completely handed over to others to do, but in the old time and space, although the two are the hosts of CCTV, they can only be regarded as second- and third-rate programs, and the first-line programs have no chance, let alone host any evening programs, watching those first-line hosts glamorously occupy the TV, Internet, it is definitely impossible to say that the two of them do not have some envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts. And in this era, they will encounter such an opportunity, and the two will naturally not let it go, and they will have to live a hosting addiction.

Zhang Yang was wearing a set of dark blue dresses, lined with a light beige shirt, tied with a bow tie, a bouquet of ceremonial flowers pinned to his left chest, and his head was neatly combed, so that he looked like a bit of a host;

Although the appearance of the two made the audience's eyes shine, in fact, the costumes of the two were not their own, because in the old time and space, the two were visiting with the fleet, so it was naturally impossible to bring dresses, but fortunately, there were spare dresses on the passenger ro-ro ship, so they could let the two show off fully.

As the two announced the start of the concert, the curtain slowly opened, and by this time the chorus of the first song had already stood on the stage, all adult men and women, standing in four rows, low to high. The women in the first two rows raised their heads and wore a red embroidered peony dress in the style of a cheongsam, which looked very gorgeous, while the men in the back two rows were wearing black suits and bow ties, and their heads were also combed smoothly. Each person has a songbook folder in his hand.

In fact, these costumes are provided by the Ro-Ro passenger ship, the female chorist's special welcome dress for the Ro-Ro passenger ship, but the diagonal ribbon is removed, and the male chorist's clothes are the uniforms of the Ro-Ro service staff. But it looks very neat.

On the left and right sides of the choir are the positions of the band, and all the musicians are present, with drums, horns and gongs. Directly in front of the choir, there is also a small stage of one square meter, which is the position of the conductor, after the introduction of the host, to the applause of the audience, Janssen wearing a dark tuxedo dress, from behind the curtain on the left side of the stage.

He originally had a long hair, and at this time he also combed it into a big quilt, and tied it into a small ponytail at the back of his head, holding a baton in his hand, but to the face of high spirits, people who engage in art initially have some passion and ideals, Yang Sen is naturally no exception, when he was young, he also imagined himself standing in the center of the stage, conducting a large concert, but the wear and tear of life, the passion was exhausted, and the ideal gradually became realistic, so originally in the old time and space, Yang Sen had basically given up conducting, but he did not expect that in this era he could actually realize his conducting dream on such a stage。

After bowing to the audience, Yang Sen stood on the podium and raised his baton, and at this moment, Li Ying also announced the name of the first song performed: My Chinese Heart.
