Chapter 22 Preparation
At this time, Locke was rehearsing on CCTV.
Locke didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to be on the show, because this "I Believe" was sung by him solo, and even Nicholas Tse sang with Sha Baoliang and Yu Chengqing. In the later topic "2005 Popular Style", Pang Long, Lin Junjie, Jolin Tsai, Shui Mu Nianhua and others are present. This is only a temporary list, and Locke doesn't know how many of these people will be able to go up.
During this time, Locke was busy practicing songs, and it was impossible to go out of tune on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Tomorrow is the first rehearsal with makeup, and Locke is a little nervous. Every rehearsal will brush up on a lot of shows.
There are still 12 days left before the start of the 2006 Spring Festival Gala, and under the staff working all night, experts and crew members are screened layer by layer, 60 programs will participate in the first rehearsal, and only 42 remain.
According to the selection process of the Spring Festival Gala program over the years, the first rehearsal is the first exam for the actors, and next, they will go through 5 exams, and it is still uncertain who can last until the end.
Because of the Spring Festival Gala, CCTV has become a lot more lively, and there are people coming and going at the gate all the time. Even the practice room is in full swing. The number of practice rooms is limited, and there are too many people, so you can only use them in a queue.
Now it's time for Locke to go in and practice, in fact, he has slandered CCTV in his heart more than once, and such a big TV station is too stingy. Can't you build a few more buildings, you have to squeeze so many singers into this time slot to queue up.
Look at the people who have just come out sweating, none of them are simple. Yin Xiumei and Yan Weiwen, two real singers of the older generation, their singing skills can be said to be impeccable. These two people are both from the army, and they walk with straight waists, and now the two of them sing a song together, saying that they will go to the Spring Festival Gala. There is no doubt about it.
Locke looked at the people sitting behind him, Yu Quan, Shuimu Nianhua, and a family of three. He hurried inside, and it would be nice to be able to practice for an extra minute.
Although he was in BJ, Locke could not go back to Huayi for military training, although the conditions there were much better. For several days in a row, Locke and the others ate boxed lunches with the dancers in the studio. Some dedicated sketch actors, such as the cow herd, have even moved their homes to eat, sleep and sleep here.
Entering the practice room, Locke turned on the microphone very experienced. There was no one else but him. Everyone has half an hour to use it, otherwise the people waiting outside will be quite anxious.
But there are many people who have occupied it for a long time, because they are old and have a hard background, and no one can touch them.
Taking a breath first, Locke mobilized his system's skills, without skills, Locke's current singing skills are not able to control the passionate song "I Believe". The melody of "I Believe" is very simple, and ordinary people can hum a few words, but if you really want to sing well and sing with feelings, you must have abundant feelings and vocal cords.
It's a high-pitched song, and Locke owes a little bit of fire to catch it. Now Locke is honing his voice after matching his skills. After careful practice in the last few days, he found that his fit with the skills was not 100%, and quite a lot of things were wasted.
Locke firmly believes that if he fuses his skills with himself, then the use of low-level skills can also achieve the effect of high-level skills, and not only that, but this is also a hone of his singing skills.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Locke reluctantly walked out, he had completed more than half of his day. Another task is to set the makeup. Tomorrow is going to be a makeup rehearsal, and so many actors will definitely not have time to put on makeup together, so now it's time to set makeup in batches.
Locke naturally uses his own exclusive makeup artist, after all, it is in BJ, the base camp of Huayi, and this right is still there. Otherwise, let the makeup artist of the central station use assembly line work, and it is estimated that Locke will be reduced to a passerby.
In fact, every big name uses its own exclusive makeup artist, all they have to do is to put the artist on makeup, give the chief director a look, and he just says okay.
Today's makeup artist didn't give Locke anything on his face, just put a little olive oil, a little foundation on his face, and a slight trim on his eyebrows. The stylist's focus is on Locke's hair, which must be upright so that it looks more energetic.
Dressed neatly in his clothes, Locke made everyone's eyes shine. A white t-shirt with a small black vest on the outside. The vest is topped with a metal chain and embellished with glittering metal particles, giving it a simple and luxurious look.
The pants are tight leather pants and shiny boots, and Locke looks very cool.
Needless to say, although this dress is mainly black and white, the chief director finally has a little vision and has no objection.
Carefully taking off these clothes, Locke changed back to his own. Whether this dress can be soiled, after all, it is still a question whether it can be found in a short time.
In order to prevent the leakage of the Spring Festival Gala program, all cast and crew members are not allowed to turn on their mobile phones, so Locke only looks at the text messages on his mobile phone every day when he returns to his apartment in the dead of night.
"Hello everyone, I am the detective of this year's Spring Festival Gala, and it is the annual Spring Festival Gala, so what will the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dog give us? The famous host Wang Xiaoya became a reporter and shuttled inside the central station with a camera.
This show is to warm up for the Spring Festival Gala in advance, and some things involving specific content will definitely be cut by the choreographer, so Wang Xiaoya is naturally not afraid.
is a CCTV reporter himself, and it is a CCTV program, so he naturally has a green light all the way.
"What we see today is that all the actors are rehearsing here, and tomorrow they will officially enter Studio 1. Are you ready?" she said aloud to a large group of brightly dressed dancers.
Through the camera, you can see the sincere smiles on their faces, and it is a very happy thing for them to be able to perform on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. It was hard and tiring, but it was all worth it.
The camera glanced at it and then turned away, as Locke happened to pass by. He had already changed into civilian clothes, and the cap on his head was so low that he couldn't really recognize him if he didn't look closely.
"Locke, please stay~" Locke turned around when he heard this, looked at Wang Xiaoya, and then looked at the camera behind her, and instantly understood. He paused, then slowly raised his head and turned his cap in one direction, revealing his face.
"I heard that Locke is also coming to sing a song, so is this a new song? Is it in the pop section as the public speculates?"
Locke smiled at the camera: "I don't know the specifics yet, the rehearsal will only be held tomorrow, everything is possible." ”
After Wang Xiaoya saw Nicholas Tse next to her, she hurriedly said to Locke: "I believe that the audience friends in front of the TV are the same as me, and they are looking forward to Locke's performance." I hope we can see you on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, thank you. ”
Locke waved at the camera and walked away.
That night, this little exploration of the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast, and the fans who had been guessing Locke's whereabouts first quieted down, and then burst out with amazing power.
"It's actually the Spring Festival Gala, and I didn't tell us in advance. Some fans whispered that they were worried to death, but it turned out to be good news.
"I'm really looking forward to Locke's new song, and I hope it can be as good as "Blue and White Porcelain". ”
