Chapter 149 This Night, the Whole Country Pays Attention!
The annual Huaxiatai Spring Festival Gala has no need to be said for its influence in China.
Of course, it will have quite strong political overtones, but after all, it is a national gala, so for people in the circle of mixed variety shows, whether you are an actor, singer, or musician, being able to show your face on the Spring Festival Gala and be familiar with the audience across the country is definitely an achievement and status recognition.
Regardless of other industries, at least in the record industry and in the domestic music scene, whether a singer goes to the Spring Festival Gala or not, in the eyes of the record company, is not a level.
Perhaps, in the domestic music scene, only Minghu culture does not take the Spring Festival Gala seriously, because as long as you are willing to play, almost everyone in Minghu culture can be on it, and there is no problem of insufficient qualifications and substandard status.
In the past 1998, Minghu Culture released a total of six records, even the weakest two, "Things in the Story - Selected Film and Television Works of Li Qian", and "The Sky of History - Original Soundtrack", after being listed in August and September, with the hit of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and Li Qian's TV series, the shipments have reached more than 3 million copies and more than 4 million copies respectively in four or five months.
In addition to these two albums, the remaining four, respectively from the four major beauty bands "Fake Monk", Liao Liao's "Woman Flower", He Runqing's "The Price of Love", and Rose Power's "Super-star", are all absolute top discs, with big sales and excellent reputation, and in both aspects, they have formed an absolute suppression of the albums of other singers in the same period and this year!
Therefore, even if the Spring Festival Gala program team said hello, they could only sing three soloists. But four invitations were sent, after all, even if judged by the strictest standards, the performance of Minghu Culture this year is definitely worth four invitations.
And in the face of these four invitations. Originally, Li Qian had an indifferent attitude, so the four beauty bands should not have been on it, but it happened suddenly, and then it was decided to go on again, so he had to take one from the other two people and the rose power, among which the rose power is a new combination that has recently voiced, since it is qualified enough, then even if it is just for market considerations, go to the Spring Festival Gala to show your face. It is also very necessary.
And He Runqing and Liao Liao are both frequent guests of the Spring Festival Gala, it doesn't matter who goes or who doesn't, considering that Liao Liao is also one of the members of the Four Beauties Band, he will follow the Four Beauties on stage, and Liao Liao is his own woman, if he wants to be wronged, he can only come with his own people. Therefore, Li Qian decided to take Liao Liao without hesitation.
But even so. There are a few five or six soloists in the domestic music scene in the entire Spring Festival Gala, and Minghu Culture still won three of them! Among them, the four beauties got eight minutes directly, which is equivalent to two soloists themselves-the second four minutes, obviously considering Li Qian's popularity among the audience, as well as a certain psychology of compensating Liao Liao!
In addition to Minghu culture, Zheng Guofeng, who became popular during this summer's vacation. On behalf of Xinda Records, he got a solo, and it is said that what he wants to sing is his masterpiece "Winter Rose". In addition, Hu Yang, who just released a new album in November 98, also got a solo. It's just that now the Huyang Studio to which he belongs has ended its cooperative relationship with Oriental Records and signed a contract with Hua Records, so his quota is under the name of Hua Records.
Also, of course...... In the past 1998, Zhou Yan's second album after her comeback was very popular, and it was far more popular than in the past, which made her sit firmly in the position of the queen of heaven in one fell swoop, so she naturally received the invitation, she didn't plan to go on, after all, she just went on it last year, but then Li Qian decided to go on, and she decisively decided to join in the fun.
The six soloists were divided up.
The most surprising thing is obviously that Sony Records, as a giant in the industry, did not get even one solo qualification at this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Zhao Xinfu, Liu Mingming, Huang Yuqing, Zhen Zhen, Li Xinru, are obviously qualified enough to sing solo, especially Zhen Zhen released her new album in December, which is currently hanging on the best-selling list, many people predict that this big sister in the music industry will be diligent for a long time, and it is estimated that Huaxia TV will definitely invite her to go on, but ...... No!
Sima Duoduo and Zhou Feng each got a chance to sing in a big couplet, one minute per person, and in addition, all the singers of the Sony series were blocked out of the Spring Festival Gala.
In this regard, there are countless gossips inside and outside the music world, and there are various theories, but on the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year, when Li Qian went to participate in the rehearsal, Zhao Yigu, director of the variety show department of Huaxia Television, came over on purpose, and the two chatted a few words.
During the chat, Zhao Yigu also thanked him again and again, laughing and saying that it was fortunate that Li Qian came to cheer up, otherwise, so many big singers were in Sony, and he had to hold it down, and he was really afraid that this year's Spring Festival Gala would not be able to support it.
So, I don't have to say, the two of them made an appointment.
For many singers and actors who participate in the Spring Festival Gala, entering October, they will enter the rehearsal period, even if they are big-name singers, after New Year's Day, they must start to participate in the program review arranged by the Spring Festival Gala program team, but Minghu Culture and Zhou Yan do not have too many requirements, the program team just requires them to participate in the penultimate round of program review in mid-January at the latest.
Li Qian didn't want to do anything special, but his time was too tight and he had too many things to do, so in desperation, he had to be a big name even if he didn't have a big name.
On the 25th of the lunar month, in the first round of rehearsals, He Runqing, Rose Power, Zheng Guofeng, Zhou Yan, Hu Yang, Sima Duoduo, Zhou Feng and others all arrived, but the four beauty bands did not arrive.
On the afternoon of the 28th of the lunar month, the second round of rehearsals, Li Qian and the others finally arrived.
The largest and most luxurious room No. 1 in the rest area behind the No. 1 studio hall of Huaxia Station was left by the director team to the four beauty bands, and before the rehearsal, there was actually a deputy director and two department director-level leaders on Huaxia Station who came to visit Room No. 1, which was enough to make countless singers and actors look up.
However, envy is envy, with Li Qian's status in the current music world, just by virtue of the people in that room, the director team left the symbolic No. 1 room to them, and no one is really qualified to express dissatisfaction.
Even before the rehearsal, the singers in the industry, especially in the pop music industry, came to the rehearsal by themselves, and those who were not familiar with it were brought by their agents or bosses.
As for Zhou Ye, who has already confirmed that he will come to Minghu Culture in the future, he will sit down and not leave when he comes.
Sima Duoduo also came over and sat for a few minutes, chatting for a few minutes before leaving.
At ten o'clock in the morning of the 29th of the lunar month, the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala began.
Everything went according to the official specifications, and the whole process was filmed - this time, it was not a rehearsal, it was a formal performance, and it had to be recorded, in case something went wrong with the live broadcast at night, and you could use this to top it when it came.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon, when the rehearsal recording ended, that Li Qian hid in the garage and made New Year's calls one by one - his parents, Wang Jinglu's parents, Liao Liao's parents, not one less.
After the phone call, everyone simply took a few bites of food, and then they couldn't go anywhere, and they had to stay in the rest area honestly from now on, waiting to play at any time.
Zheng Guofeng is the first wave, and the time point is 8:50.
The Rose Power is the second wave, and the time point is at 9:45.
Hu Yang is the third wave, and the time point is half past ten.
Zhou Yan is the fourth wave, the time point is half past eleven, and the next thing she will appear on will be the four beauty bands.
This may not be a classic Spring Festival Gala, but for many fans of Li Qian and the Four Beauties, this is definitely the most noteworthy and year-old Spring Festival Gala.
On this night, all families were reunited.
This night, the whole country is concerned. (To be continued.) )
