Locke was able to call a day early today, all thanks to tomorrow's formal rehearsal. According to the convention, the chief director has to determine the remaining 42 programs according to his own ideas and the opinions of some audiences.

This was crucial for Locke, as he received another assignment.

"Task: Make the Spring Festival Gala famous! Completion conditions: Last Spring Festival Gala stage performance, the time is not less than one minute. Rewards: Depends on the completion of the mission. Task completion: Time, number of people, and influence can all affect the degree of completion. ”

This task is to ask Locke to reduce the opportunity to sing with others, and the time of singing must be controlled, the quality of this song is not a problem, especially after Locke has listened to other people's songs, he is more confident.

Some of the singers and actors have sung hundreds of times, some of the lyrics are repeated and repeated, and some are not serious and lively. Especially those lyrics, except for a few songs with a bit of cultural flavor and poetic accidents, the others are more than mediocre. Locke considers his song to be a classic, definitely not inferior to other good songs.

Back in his apartment, Locke washed up quickly and lay down on the bed, and the computer was too late to use.

He now has to seize every minute to improve his singing skills. Therefore, it is natural to use systematic training, points are not a problem, just earn it when you run out, the opportunity of the Spring Festival Gala is now this time, and you have to seize it tightly.

He entered the system, followed the system to learn all kinds of knowledge, and what benefited him the most was the live singing, this class was based on the image of Jackson, and Locke was intoxicated to listen.

In the last few days, he has been lying in bed and receiving systematic training as soon as he returns. In this way, his singing power has accumulated a knowledge point first, and he is still nine miles away from the completion of the task, and he is only one step away from the first-class master.

But Locke felt it was hard to get out of the way. Because of a feeling that he couldn't understand, Locke felt that he still owed a little fire, even though he had caught up with the others in terms of basic knowledge.

After receiving the training, Locke fell asleep peacefully. After sleeping until seven o'clock, Locke got up and went to the treadmill to exercise first, and he was sweating.

On top of the car driven by Liu Tian, Locke began the day's breakfast. Breakfast should be eaten well, otherwise what should I do if I am suddenly hungry in the middle of the rehearsal and want to eat. I guess I couldn't sing it at that time.

It was already past nine o'clock in the morning when he arrived at the TV station, and Locke was relatively early among the stars. There was a large group of people around the entrance of the central station, who were waiting to enter, to be the first to watch the Spring Festival Gala program, and to put forward their opinions.

The first rehearsal lasted from morning to evening, because there were quite a lot of shows at the beginning, more than sixty, and each program took several minutes, not to mention longer.

To be full, Locke's song takes three minutes and thirty-seven seconds. The central station is not very good, but the time is very accurate.

Looking at several large makeup rooms of several hundred square meters, Locke sighed, the makeup artists are like hard-working bees, constantly applying makeup to the dancers, and some dancers are helping each other to sort out their clothes.

Locke brought his exclusive makeup artist and stylist to a lounge of dozens of square meters, where Locke will complete his outfits. According to the temporary order of program arrangement, Locke's solo is arranged as a buffer after the group comedy "New Year's Greetings to the Eight Immortals", which is a program that has just begun, and the ratings are not too high.

He has to hurry up now, the opening dance of the Spring Festival Gala has begun, he is the fifth program, and he must hurry to the waiting area and wait. I already set my makeup yesterday, so I got it done quickly today. By the time Locke arrived at the waiting area, there were staff members holding radio communication equipment and making orderly arrangements.

As in previous years, the big names are no different from the little stars as soon as they arrive at the Spring Festival Gala. When entering the circular waiting area outside the CCTV No. 1 studio, Locke saw Jiang Kun, Huang Hong, Gong Hanlin, Feng Gong and others eating boxed lunches with the extras, and the cows were even more sleepy and sleeping on chairs on the side, and their appearance when preparing for the scene looked far less "glorious" than everyone remembered. However, it is different when the wrists come to the stage, they are all vigorous and "glamorous". This is the real actor,

Not to mention Xie Ting, Feng , Yu Quan and others, let's just say that Locke now has several support groups, at least he doesn't have to worry about eating and sleeping.

The three people who are performing on the stage are Nicholas Tse and Yu Chengqing. The three of them were singing hard, and the audience judges below also pretended to listen attentively, it was just an old song. Many people are playing haha, a little bit of a heart-to-heart feeling.

However, Locke knows that this show will not be canceled, symbolizing the reunification of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and it will go up even if it is not good.

Not long after, the cross talk "New Year's Greetings of the Eight Immortals" had already come to the stage to perform, and at this time Locke had already followed the staff to the backstage, all he had to do was to try the microphone, and Sister Zeng also went to check the accompaniment. Everything works fine.

Locke picked up the microphone and suddenly became a little nervous. Although this is not a real live broadcast, you can know how difficult it is to stand on the stage of Studio 1. Stabilized his mind, Locke suppressed all distractions, and today's rehearsal could not afford to be missed. Once it fails, it will not be used directly.

He calmly put on a skill "eloquent" for himself, so that he could grasp the whole scene. At the same time, the dancers are also ready one by one.

Locke stood on the platform, listening carefully to see when the song would start, and the rest of the dancers encouraged each other as they stood on another platform.

"New Year's Greetings to the Eight Immortals" continued, Locke bit his lip and held the microphone vigorously with his hands, his palms were sweaty. Wait left and right, that cross talk is still going on. Locke was a little impatient, the time had dragged on for too long, and he had a hunch in his heart. This cross talk is either brushed down or cut fiercely.

Finally hearing the voices of Dong Qing and Zhu Jun, Locke secretly took a breath, clenched his fists, and waited until the two finished talking.

Sure enough, as soon as the words of the two fell, the elevator slowly rose. He sang to the rhythm.

An action-packed inspirational song that undoubtedly dazzles those bored viewers as well as journalists. I only hear his voice, but I don't see his people. At this time, Locke slowly appeared on the stage surrounded by extras, he sang and waved his hands, his face was swollen red, and the green tendons on his neck burst out.

The reporters picked up the camera and began to take pictures, and the audience began to look forward to it, but after listening to some of them, they were not interested. It's no wonder that the audience invited are some middle-aged and elderly people, who like this kind of song. What they like is the performance of the older generation of singers such as Yan Weiwen, Yin Xiumei, and Li Shuangjiang.

Feeling perfect about himself, Locke calmly exited as planned. After he got off the stage, he hugged Sister Zeng fiercely, nothing went wrong, and the time was very good. In this way, the estimate is about the same.

There are so many people backstage, and the dancers are taking this opportunity to take photos with a group of big-name stars. Locke was also dragged in by his backup dance team for a group photo.

After taking photos, Locke sat leisurely in the audience and enjoyed the Spring Festival Gala program in advance. It's another year of the Spring Festival Gala, but fortunately, this year Locke doesn't have to spend it alone, he can spend the Spring Festival with the audience across the country. No need to go back to his lonely, unpopular little apartment.

"Locke, come over here. I'll discuss something with you. Lang Kun, the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, sat next to Locke and said to him in a consultative tone.

Locke has a feeling of flattery, what is being performed on the stage now is "Part-time Kindergarten", and as the chief director, he must be busy now, but Lang Kun discussed something with Locke.

"You also know that the time for the Spring Festival Gala is limited, and the program capacity must be large, otherwise there will be no content. So can you shorten your performance time a little bit? I'll put your show in pop music, and each singer has a fixed time. Although it was a discussion, Locke heard an unquestionable feeling.

"Also, I see that you are a little difficult to perform alone, do you want to add another one to sing with you? I think Hu Yanbin is very good. ”

I did it for a long time to reduce my own time, and I also had to add people to myself. Locke's heart felt like he was choking. Before he could speak, a staff member came to Lang Kun with a stack of papers and whispered something.

Locke tilted his ears sideways, but heard nothing. There are only a few vague words: "no", "don't like", "better eliminate"....

After dismissing the staff, Lang Kun turned to Locke and said, "I'm sorry, our song program is seriously over-standard, and we spend too much time on it, so we have to cut some songs." We have taken into account the audience review and the opinions of our choreographers and decided to cut your performance. ”

Locke was stunned, what is this! The singing and dancing class is over-standard, and it's not his fault, this is negotiable to reduce the time, why do you want to cut it?

He hurriedly said, "Director, you should think about it again." I think my song is very good, it matches the theme of the Spring Festival Gala very well, besides, isn't our Spring Festival Gala to attract young audiences? ”

Lang Kun waved his hand and said, "There are still a lot of things in the background, I'll go over and take a look first." ”

The show, which has been prepared for so long, was canceled due to the time of singing and dancing. Locke didn't even have time to say anything to the chief director Lang Kun, he shook his hand and left.

Locke never thought that this would be the result, he didn't panic, maybe there is still room for reversal in this matter, it's a big deal to make a compromise himself, after all, his popularity is not enough to ask for a solo song.

This invitation is only based on the high quality of the song "I Believe", followed by his increasing popularity. If there had been a better choice, the director would have quickly abandoned him as a pawn.

Looking at all the singers who came to the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, all of them were big-name superstar singers, he alone had a shallow foundation, and his background was not too big (in fact, he hid it too well).

Although the popularity of the twins may be the same as Yang Chi now, but the two of them are Hong Kongers, in order to reflect the friendship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, singers from Taiwan and Hong Kong are indispensable, after all, there is a big reunion.

Locke also turned around and left Studio 1, and he found Sister Zeng who was talking on the phone at the entrance of the building. Gently pulling Sister Zeng's clothes, Locke signaled that he had something important to tell him. But Sister Zeng frowned, waved her hand, covered her phone with her hand, and then whispered to Locke: "Wait a minute, I'll finish talking to him." ”

Locke knew that the matter was urgent, and he couldn't delay it, if he waited until Lang Kun officially explained, everything would be over.

He shook his head violently, because the phone was still on the phone, and it was not very convenient to speak. After Sister Zeng saw Locke's nervous expression, she may also know the seriousness of the matter. He said to his phone: "I'm sorry, I have an urgent matter to deal with now, I'll call you later, it's troublesome." I'm sorry. ”

Putting the phone in her trouser pocket, Sister Zeng asked, "What's wrong?" He was surprised by what had made Locke, who had always been calm, so uneasy.

"Just now the director told me that my show was canceled, saying that the time of the singing and dancing show was exceeded, so my show was canceled. ”

This time it was Sister Zeng's turn to be surprised, his eyes widened, "How come? Your singing is quite good, everything is fine." How could it be canceled? Could it be that?" he whispered at the last sentence, and Locke could hear it a little indistinctly.

Locke asked rhetorically, "What are you talking about? What should we do?" Now this is the time for the agent to come out, Locke has not experienced this kind of thing, so there is a feeling that there are no masters.

Sister Zeng is also the first time to be an agent, and there are many things that she doesn't understand very well, and at this time, Yang Fan has become a lifesaver for the two.

"Hey, Brother Fan? Are you free now? There's an emergency here, you can come over and help deal with it first." Sister Zeng said bluntly to Yang Fan: "Is it convenient for you over there? It's that Locke's show seems to have been canceled for a very far-fetched reason. Anyway, you come here first. We're waiting for you at the door. ”

hung up the phone, Sister Zeng comforted Locke, at this time it was the role of the agent.
