Chapter 197 of the text volume, the year of true singing

Next chapter

At the Air Politics Center, Lin Zixuan put forward his own ideas, and he submitted the sketches and songs he wrote.

At present, the filming progress of "The Story of the Cooking Class" is very fast, the cost control is very good, and the budget will not be exceeded under the condition of ensuring quality, and the cooperation between the two sides is very pleasant.

Even if there is a small problem, Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang will not have conflicts with the troops.

The leaders of the Air Administration Center expressed their support for the Spring Festival Gala, which was able to show the rich and colorful cultural life of the troops.

Besides, the idea of this sketch is very good, and it has been unanimously approved by them.

The background of the sketch is that in order to support the soldiers guarding the frontier, the local government specially opened a special line for the soldiers to call home to pay New Year's greetings, reflecting the revolutionary tradition of the army loving the people and the people supporting the army.

The actors are ready-made, as long as they find time to rehearse, and they have no reason to refuse.

However, the leaders of the Air Administration Center had some opinions about the song called "A Letter to Home", and felt that this song was family affection, but it was not masculine enough, and it did not conform to the identity of a soldier when sung.

At this time, the songs on the army were all in that magnificent tune, full of masculinity and fighting spirit, and even the female singers used bel canto singing, full of neutrality.

"A Letter to Home" is a folk song, suitable for literary and artistic young people to play and sing by themselves, with a bit of melancholy and sentimentality.

This is in great contrast to the image of the troops, and it is not appropriate to put them together, and they feel that it is best to separate the sketches and songs.

Lin Zixuan thought about it and felt that it made sense, he originally figured out that the combination of the two achieved the greatest tear-jerking effect, without considering the issue of style matching, it seems that the mix and match is not suitable for this era.

He took the song away, leaving only the sketch.

The Air Administration Center has special personnel to carry out deep processing of the sketches, organize rehearsals for actors, and send them to the program team of the Spring Festival Gala.

Lin Zixuan returned home and talked to Mu Shanshan about it.

"This song is very good, the family flavor is very strong, it is suitable for the Spring Festival Gala, it is a pity not to use it. Mu Shanshan said regretfully, "Why don't I show it to the director and find a singer to sing, what do you think?"

"You look at it, don't forget to collect money from the Spring Festival Gala crew. Lin Zixuan joked.

The Spring Festival Gala crew will not pay Lin Zixuan, but if a singer wants to sing "A Letter to Home", he will have to pay Lin Zixuan for lyrics and composition to buy out the copyright of the song.

"Is there anyone you know who is suitable to sing this song?" asked Mu Shanshan.

Lin Zixuan thought back for a while and found that he did not have a deep intersection with the circle of singers.

The Beijing entertainment industry is a general term, including actors, singers, cross talkers, acrobatics, etc., all those who are engaged in literary and artistic work belong to this circle, and he is mainly mixed with the film and television industry.

Among the people he knows, Zhang Yingying from Huacheng is a singer, and now she has become a famous singer in China and a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala.

Among the actors, Jiang Shan can sing, but this song is not suitable for her to sing, and the other singers have met and known each other at the party, but they are all general friends.

"Let's let the Spring Festival Gala program team worry about it, I'm not familiar with the singer. Lin Zixuan responded.

"Either you sing it yourself, and if you sing it well, you will become a singer," Mu Shanshan said with a smile.

"I know that I am two pounds, and I usually entertain myself and sing well, so don't go to the Spring Festival Gala to make trouble for others, how can it be so easy to become popular, now I have to eat with my ability. Lin Zixuan shook his head and said.

He was inspired by this, because this year's Spring Festival Gala has a heavy change, that is, to put an end to lip-synching.

The Spring Festival Gala lasted from 1983 to 1993, which can be said to be the era of lip-synching, which is due to the storage of the backup tape, once the actor has an accident on the stage, the broadcast is a pre-recorded backup tape.

There have been basically no accidents in the Spring Festival Gala in the past 11 years.

The audience doesn't feel that what they are watching is not a live broadcast, only those who actually go to the Spring Festival Gala will understand what is going on.

After all, the Spring Festival Gala is a national feast, and not making mistakes is the most basic requirement.

However, the director of this year's Spring Festival Gala put forward the concept of "real singing", replacing fake singing with real singing, so that art can be restored to the original realm, and he also canceled the accompaniment tape and used live band accompaniment.

This is undoubtedly a very bold decision, quite adventurous, and it can also be said to be very artistic.

In this way, the selection of singers will be very cruel.

As long as the singers who are not good at singing or do not play well in the selection process will be eliminated, in comparison, singers who sing bel canto take advantage, people are really powerful, and singers who sing pop songs are very dangerous.

There are almost no Hong Kong and Taiwan singers on the current program list of this Spring Festival Gala.

It's not that the Spring Festival Gala program team didn't send an invitation, but when people heard that they wanted to sing live, they found reasons to decline politely, but they didn't take the risk, if they were brushed down, it would be too faceless.

Even if it is not brushed off, there is no guarantee that there will be a good performance on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Once they fail, they will be seen by Chinese audiences and reported by the media, and their singing prospects will be ruined.

Therefore, an amateur like Lin Zixuan ran over to find fault with himself, and Mu Shanshan said this just as a joke.

To be honest, Lin Zixuan admires this ideal director of the Spring Festival Gala very much, but he feels that the risk is too great and he can't make it.

This is not only the pressure on the singer, but also the pressure on the director team.

If the effect of the live broadcast on Chinese New Year's Eve is not good and does not reach the "perfection" of previous years, it will not only be scolded by the audience, but also criticized by the leadership, and will also involve the use of backup tape for the Spring Festival Gala in previous years.

It can be said that it affects the whole body.

Whether the people want to watch a "perfect" Spring Festival Gala or a flawed Spring Festival Gala, whether they pursue real artistry or enjoy perfect entertainment.

Some people watch the Spring Festival Gala for fun, and some people pay more attention to the authenticity of the performance, which is an indescribable topic.

Mu Shanshan participated in it, and she could feel the dignified atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala program group, and success or failure was here.

As the host, this year's Spring Festival Gala is also a test, and she has to work hard to deal with it.

She handed over the song "A Letter to Home" to the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, and the director thought it was good, although this song was not that kind of festive song, it was full of strong family affection.

In China, the Chinese New Year is about family reunion, and this song represents the voice of a wanderer who is adrift, which is very meaningful.

However, the lyrics need to be changed, and the sentence "Don't go if you don't manage it strictly" is a bit problematic, although it is a kind of concern for my son, and it is very real, but it can't be sung like this in the Spring Festival Gala.

After discussing with Lin Zixuan, it was changed to "If you feel too tired, just ask for leave", so that there would be no problem.

Next, the director team of the Spring Festival Gala needs to find a folk singer to sing this song. (To be continued.) )
