Chapter 147 Spring Festival Gala Rehearsal

After a day of rest at home, Xiao Yao devoted himself to the preparation of the Spring Festival Gala. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Whether it is "The Great Wall" or "A Song Not for Anyone", there is a ready-made live version of the stage. But after all, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is different from the music variety show of the general reality show, these two programs are not simply copy the original performance in the program to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, both programs have some changes in the details of the performance, and in order not to make mistakes in the rehearsal and official performance, these modified details must also be familiar in advance.

Let's talk about "The Great Wall" first. When they first performed in the show, Xiao Yao, Chen Chen and the accompanying dancers were all dressed in black, and the Spring Festival was a very festive day, so the director team of the Spring Festival Gala proposed to Xiao Yao if they could change the color of the performance costumes to a more festive red.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there can't be other colors such as black or white on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, in fact, there are many actors in the Spring Festival Gala whose costumes are black or white, but the director team thinks that "The Great Wall" is such a group dance program, if it is red, it may look better. However, the director team of the Spring Festival Gala also said that this is just a suggestion, and if it can be changed, if it is not easy to change, the original black performance costume is also acceptable. After all, one of the highlights of this show is the light on the clothes, if there is any problem with the lighting system because of the change of clothes, it is a small mistake.

For this proposal, Xiao Yao gladly accepted. Performing in exactly the same costume as in the previous show, Xiao Yao himself didn't think it was much fun. Not to mention that Rick has already come to Huaxia, even if Rick doesn't come, he can take those lighting systems out of the original clothes and put them into new clothes. But now that Rick has arrived, Xiao Yao will not waste it, so he simply asks Rick to remake a few new lighting systems and install them in his recustomized dark red performance costume. It's been nearly a year since Rick made a lot of improvements to the lighting system. Not only is the bulb smaller and brighter, but there are also more options for operation and lighting conversion, Xiao Yao can also be used to perform in the Spring Festival Gala.

On the issue of the color of the costumes, the director team only suggested and did not make strong requirements, but in terms of performance actions, the director team clearly forbade Xiao Yao from flying out from behind Chen Chen, and the action of sprinkling talcum powder in the air to make a freeze-frame shape must be changed. The Spring Festival Gala is a live broadcast, Xiao Yao's other actions are fine, but if they sprinkle talcum powder on the Spring Festival Gala? They don't want to send staff to the stage in front of so many audiences to clean up the white dust that is blowing one after another. The director team only forbade Xiao Yao to sprinkle talcum powder, not canceling the action, on the contrary, they also started other articles on this action.

Xiao Yao's lighting costume is very technological, and the visual effects are great, so the Spring Festival Gala stage will cooperate with the performance in these two aspects. Xiao Yao still flew into the air the same, but did not sprinkle talcum powder, and directly gave Xiao Yao a pair of special effects of fire wings on the big screen at the back of the scene, which was also very scientific and technological, and the visual effects were better.

However, in this way, higher requirements are also put forward for Xiao Yao, that is, the coordination with the special effects on the big screen on the scene. If it is sprinkled with talcum powder, Xiao Yao can control the height of the jump by himself, as long as he crosses Chen Chen, it doesn't matter if he is taller or shorter, but it must be matched with the special effects wings on the big screen of the Spring Festival Gala, and there are specific position and speed requirements for Xiao Yao to take off and do freeze-frame actions.

This difficulty is a bit big, and the director team of the Spring Festival Gala doesn't know if it will be able to cooperate successfully, anyway, it will definitely not be able to do talcum powder, this plan will be examined from the effect of the rehearsal, if it can be done, if it really can't be cooperated, then let Xiao Yao just fly out from behind Chen Chen. Of course, Xiao Yao hopes that his performance can be as perfect as possible, so this is also a key point of his early practice.

In this show, in addition to the two singers Xiao Yao and Chen Chen, there are also backup dancers and harmonies. In terms of dancers, the dancers of the "Dawn" Dance Troupe, Xiao Yao and Chen Chen are all owned by Xiao Yao's Qijia Studio, with a tacit understanding, Xiao Yao will not agree to change, and the director team of the Spring Festival Gala does not want to change, but in terms of harmony actors, it is different.

At the beginning of the show, the four harmony singers were temporarily found by Wan Peiling for Xiao Yao, and they were not familiar with Xiao Yao and Chen Chen, so it was not necessary to have those four people. Of course, the resources in the hands of the Spring Festival Gala are not comparable to Wan Peiling, not only directly found professional opera singers from the National Opera House to help them sing harmony, but also found eight at once, which is twice the number of harmony singers in the original program. Therefore, Xiao Yao and Chen Chen had to practice with these eight opera singers to cultivate a tacit understanding with each other.

And Gong Chen and Xu Yuan's "Song Not Made for Anyone", in addition to Xu Yuan's performance costumes, their original singing style in the show was not suitable for the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. The Spring Festival Gala is not a music TV program that needs to fully show the singer's singing skills, the singing style of the entire stage performance must be much "gentle", and the high-pitched transposition that makes people's scalps tingle should be appropriately reduced, on the whole, it is closer to the style of the version of the soundtrack in the MV of the song made by Xiao Yao.

This style of singing, Gong Chen and Xu Yuan only sang it when they recorded the official version in the studio, and they sang this live performance, and they also had to perform on stage, and they had to practice it again. This song was written by Xiao Yao for the two, and Xiao Yao was also responsible for the arrangement and recording of the studio version used in the MV, so in addition to the practice of "The Great Wall", Xiao Yao also had to find time to guide Gong Chen and Xu Yuan in practice.

After more than a week of practice, Xiao Yao, Chen Chen, Gong Chen, and Xu Yuan participated in the first rehearsal with makeup for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala as scheduled.

Among the two groups of artists, Gong Chen and Xu Yuan's song was in the front, and they also went to the stage for rehearsals first. When the two were singing, the MV of the song produced by Xiao Yao was also played on the big screen as the background. Because all the videos in this MV were processed into black and white by Xiao Yao, the director team asked Xu Yuan and Gong Chen, who sang on the stage, to also dress up in black and white costumes to match them. Gong Chen is still wearing the "fairy-like" white gauze dress in the original show, while Xu Yuan changed into a much more conservative black silk evening dress, although it looks a little less sexy, but it is also beautiful.

The two are very familiar with this song, and there were no major mistakes in their performance during the rehearsal, and they completed the rehearsal smoothly, and then sat aside and waited to see the performance of Xiao Yao and Chen Chen.

There were a few other programs between the two of them, so the two of them also waited in the audience for a while before they saw Xiao Yao and Chen Chen rehearsing on stage.

"Xiao Yao, why don't you try it when you do that aerial action in a while?" Before Xiao Yao and Chen Chen's rehearsal began, Wen An, the chief director of the scene, suddenly proposed to Xiao Yao, "We can use Weiya to control your altitude in the air, and we can also help you fix it at the specified height." This way, the wings on the screen and your movements in the air will work much better. ”

Wen An is still not at ease with the picture of Xiao Yao and the special effects wings on the big screen, it just so happens that the previous show is acrobatics, in order to ensure safety, several movements of the acrobat are completed in the case of hanging Weiya, Wen An suddenly thought of this method. Although Xiao Yao is the youngest of the performers on stage, this show was originally created by Xiao Yao, and the most dangerous and difficult actions are also Xiao Yao's, and he is obviously the person in charge of this show, so Wen An also directly communicates with Xiao Yao.

It's true that Hang Wei Yaxiao is far away, but the overall effect...

Xiao Yao said to the chief director Wen An, "Director Wen, if you use Weiya to control it, I'm afraid it will disrupt the overall rhythm of this song." And no matter how inconspicuous these two wires are, sharp-eyed viewers can still see them. The acrobat hangs Weiya for safety, and the audience can understand it. But we have a singing and dancing show, and Hanging Weiya just wants to put wings on the screen, which seems too deliberate. ”

"Do you mean to do it as before?" Wen An said.

"Yes, just as we used to be," Xiao Yao said, "Didn't you already tell me the location of the wings on the big screen and the specific height I need to vacate in the air? ”

"Then you try it first, and if it doesn't work, let's hang Weiya again. Wen An thought about it for a moment and said, "The overall rhythm problem, let's discuss and solve it later, after all, there are still more than ten days to go, and there is a second rehearsal." ”

"Okay. Xiao Yao nodded helplessly in agreement.

Xiao Yao, Chen Chen and several accompanying dancers stood in formation, the lights on the stage dimmed a little, the accompanying music sounded, and the rehearsal of the show began.

When Xiao Yao and Chen Chen performed this song for the first time, Gong Chen watched it on the spot, and Xu Yuan also watched the program video of this song several times, but when Xiao Yao and Chen Chen performed this song live again in the CCTV studio hall, the two of them still felt deeply shocked like other staff on the scene.

"They don't want to cross~"

With a high-pitched roar, Xiao Yao soared into the air from behind Chen Chen. This time, Xiao Yao stood up like a javelin in the process of rising, and his arms were tightly attached to the sides of his legs, until he felt that he had almost reached the specified height, Xiao Yao slammed his waist and abdomen, stopped the trend of continuing to rise, and made the whole person have a short pause in the air, and then raised his hands to his armpits, and then quickly opened to both sides. At this time, on the big screen behind Xiao Yao, two red flames appeared on the shoulders of Xiao Yao, and with the horizontal opening of Xiao Yao's arms to both sides, a pair of wings were born from the two flames, which stretched out to both sides along with his arms.

"Beautiful!" exclaimed many people at the scene.

Xiao Yao began to fall, and his arms began to rise from a horizontal position. The roots of a pair of wings on the big screen moved downward synchronously with Xiao Yao's fall, keeping behind the back of Xiao Yao's shoulders, and the wingspan part also waved upwards with Xiao Yao's arms raised.

When Xiao Yao was about to fall to the ground, the pair of flame wings that had turned into upwards were also collected into the flames at the root, and when Xiao Yao's feet fell to the ground, the two flames also disappeared from the big screen.

"Okay!" Although the rehearsal performance on the stage had not yet ended, many people at the scene couldn't wait to stand up and applaud Xiao Yao on the stage.

"This effect is really amazing!" The assistant director next to Wen An couldn't help but applaud and said, "This cooperation is simply seamless!"

"Yes, I didn't expect the first rehearsal to be successful," Wen An was also applauding, nodding and laughing, "There are marks on the stage where the jump starts, as long as they go straight up and down, and they don't jump crookedly." But it is not easy for them to grasp the height of the vacant sky so accurately. When I told him that the height of his shoulders was 3.8 meters, he was at the highest point, and the error was definitely no more than 5 centimeters. ”

"Director Wen, how is the effect? You don't need to hang Weiya to try again, right?" After the performance, Xiao Yao asked Wen Andao with a smile in everyone's applause.

"The effect is great!" Wen An gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "If you can still maintain this level during the second rehearsal, I won't let you hang Weiya!"
