"I just received an invitation from the Spring Festival Gala program team."

"Oh......" When Lin Chen explained the reason for calling him to the company, Le Mingxiao just answered, and then asked, "Which station?" This is his natural reaction, in addition to spending time in the hospital because of his injury during the Chinese New Year last year, he also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala of local satellite TV, but after this question was asked, he found that Lin Chen actually rolled his eyes at him.

"That's all you have to offer?" Lin Chen said.

"Uh......" Le Mingxiao was stunned, and suddenly reacted, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Lin Chen incredulously, "Sister Lin, shouldn't you be talking about the Spring Festival Gala, CCTV's Spring Festival Gala?" ”

"Otherwise, you still need me to call you personally?"

"Ahh Realizing this, Le Mingxiao shouted directly, almost jumping three feet high, but he felt that the reaction was too big, so he quickly restrained a little, but the corners of his mouth were almost to the root of his ears, and he couldn't hide the joy in his expression, Lin Chen said again, "If you want to laugh, laugh, don't hold back." ”

Le Mingxiao pretended to be reserved instead, and said seriously: "Sister Lin, you are so powerful, you can actually talk about the resources of the Spring Festival Gala, don't worry, I will definitely show you well." ”

"It's not my credit this time." Lin Chen said, "It was you who participated in the campus singer contest and won the championship, and the program team took the initiative to send an invitation." ”

"Is that so?" Now Le Mingxiao is even more proud, and his words are a little sè, "I'll just say, everything you walk through must leave traces, as long as you work hard, others will always see it, my choice was right, Sister Lin?" ”

"Okay, you're good this time." Lin Chen said, "But I want to remind you that the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala is very cumbersome, you have to be on call at any time, you don't know how much work to take when you have that time, and even at the last moment before the live broadcast, you may face the danger of being brushed off, are you mentally prepared for this?" ”

Le Mingxiao said: "I understand, but since the opportunity comes, I will definitely not let it run away, Sister Lin, don't worry." ”

"That'll do."

After Lin Chen explained a few more words to Le Mingxiao, he asked Lu Miao to go with him, and this time calling him over was actually to arrange for him to meet the director of the Spring Festival Gala program group.

Speaking of the Spring Festival Gala, it naturally refers to the China Central Television Spring Festival Gala, such a variety show gala, held on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve every year, which can be said to be an annual national carnival. The Spring Festival Gala was first held in 83 years of the last century, and it has been more than 30 years now, with the continuous improvement of people's aesthetic requirements, the Spring Festival Gala has long lost its past influence, and every year after the Spring Festival Gala comes out, it will be accompanied by scolding, especially many young people feel that these things are too old, and there is no need to save zài at all.

Le Mingxiao is also a post-90s generation, and he also likes to pursue new things, but he is also a person who likes nostalgia. For as long as he can remember, he spent every Chinese New Year's Eve at his grandparents' house. Grandpa sang folk songs when he was young, and his favorite was the singing and dancing part of the party, every time Le Mingxiao would move a small bench to sit next to his grandfather, and listen to his grandfather talk about which singer sang which song, what is the origin of this song, and who is this singer, these are the memories of Le Mingxiao's childhood.

Therefore, the Spring Festival Gala is more of a feeling for him, even if the quality of the Spring Festival Gala in recent years is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, but as long as there is no time on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, he must be squatting in front of the TV to chase the live broadcast. Now, as a loyal viewer of the Spring Festival Gala, he can have the opportunity to stand on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in person, and let the national audience see him live on TV, that feeling is very wonderful and proud, how can he not be happy.

The chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala is a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament, and he is the chief director of the campus singer competition that Le Mingxiao participated in, so this is certainly not a coincidence, the reason why Le Mingxiao was able to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is naturally inseparable from this director.

Since it's an acquaintance, it's easy to say anything. Le Mingxiao is essentially a singer, so his preferred way of performance is naturally singing, and the program team is also very generous, giving a chance to sing a solo, and after repeated discussions with the director, it was finally finalized that he will sing his "Piano and Jasmine" released not long ago on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

This song is the title track of Le Mingxiao's folk song adaptation album, which is currently being produced, and it is a form of combining traditional Chinese folk music with Western pop music. Le Mingxiao incorporated one of China's most classic folk songs, "Jasmine", into the song, and the overall arrangement was mainly piano, and some pop elements of electronic music were added. Such a song that carries forward the national tradition and connects with the world is indeed very suitable for the atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala, and his album has not yet been officially launched, and it is not something that ordinary people can do to be able to sing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

After the repertoire was negotiated, Le Mingxiao also emphasized one thing, that is, he must be allowed to sing on the night of the live broadcast. He knows that a large-scale party like this, because of the needs of live broadcast or equipment problems, sometimes has to use the form of lip-synching, but he is a professional singer, and his live response has always been very good whether it is in the audience or in the industry, if he has to violate his most basic principles in order to be able to go to the Spring Festival Gala, then he would rather give up this rare opportunity.

After meeting the director, Le Mingxiao took the company's car and went home directly, his own car was still parked in the company, so he had to drive back another day.

After Yan Duo came back in the evening, Le Mingxiao naturally shared the good news with him as soon as possible. Although after a half-day buffer, Le Mingxiao was no longer as excited as he was at the beginning, but he never hid himself in front of Yan Duo, so he chattered a lot, followed Yan Duo from the first floor to the second floor, followed up the bedroom, and even Yan Duo couldn't stop when he was changing clothes.

Speaking of Yan Duo, his reaction was a little flat, but when Le Mingxiao was speaking passionately, he nodded occasionally, or smiled and responded twice, Le Mingxiao was a little unhappy, and complained to him: "Aren't you surprised at all?" ”

Yan Duo said: "I already knew in advance, with your current coffee position, it is really common to receive an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala, is it necessary to be so happy?" ”

"Of course I'm happy, how can I not be happy?" Le Mingxiao said, "Which singer doesn't want to be on the Spring Festival Gala, it's a show that people all over the country will watch." ”

Seeing Le Mingxiao's seriousness, Yan Duo poured a basin of cold water on him, "It's not as good as before, who still expects to be able to finish a song in the Spring Festival Gala?" ”

"I also know this, but it's not like a bunch of people are scrambling to drill into it, can it increase its popularity, is it still an honor?" Le Mingxiao pouted at Yan Duo, with an expression of "what do you know", and continued, "It was my dream when I was a child to be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, so that my parents, grandparents, and grandparents can see me on TV, you know, the old people, they always dislike the programs on the TV station now, but they will definitely watch the Spring Festival Gala." ”

Yan Duo couldn't help but smile at the child's wish, he rubbed Le Mingxiao's hair and encouraged him: "Then you have to come on." ”

"Of course I will ......"

As Lin Chen said, the entire rehearsal process of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is very cumbersome, and all the participants must be on call no matter how big you are.

Each program of the Spring Festival Gala has to go through many repeated rehearsals, what is one color and two colors, rehearsals with makeup, etc., and each program must be reviewed layer by layer, and any link may be brushed down. Le Mingxiao was relatively safe because it was an invitation issued by the chief director himself, and he saw with his own eyes that a dance program had been brushed down when it had reached the rehearsal with makeup, and several little girls couldn't stand the blow, so they cried bitterly on the spot. Therefore, the Spring Festival Gala is a single-plank bridge, and those who can go to the end safely are warriors.

In the days before Chinese New Year's Eve, Le Mingxiao was basically immersed in CCTV's No. 1 studio hall. The program team has extremely strict requirements for the quality of the live broadcast, and there is no room for any difference, but Le Mingxiao is also a very serious person, so he takes out a twelve-point attitude in every rehearsal, even if he practices repeatedly in private, sometimes even until his voice is hoarse, at this time, he has to thank Lu Miao for the throat tea he prepared at any time.

However, it is more than enough, more than the bottom, Le Mingxiao feels that he is not the most tired, after all, he is just singing a song, and it is his own song, so he is naturally familiar with it. If you want to say tired, you have to belong to those actors in technical programs, not only tired but also dangerous, there are also some singers and dancers, many of them have to perform in several programs, most of the time is spent on rehearsals every day, it is good to sleep for three or four hours a day, sometimes it is really unbearable to take a nap directly on the chair in the rehearsal hall or directly lying on the floor in the corner, that is also considered happiness.

In addition to rehearsals, in between breaks, Le Mingxiao will also go backstage to make various calls. In addition to being able to get a glimpse of other shows, you can also make friends, especially those low-key old artists, which are not always available. So although he will make less money because he has pushed away some other jobs because of the Spring Festival Gala, Le Mingxiao still feels that the gains are greater than the losses.

Soon, Chinese New Year's Eve night arrived......
