Chapter 191: Spring Festival Gala (I)
Chapter 191 Spring Festival Gala (I)
Although Zhang Yi has a calm temperament, he has the spirit of a martial arts practitioner in his elegance. After all, he is not very old, and for Director Huang, it is inevitable that he will be surprised.
He had heard a lot of things about Zhang Yi, especially his achievements in movies, but he never expected that he would be such a young person.
When he saw Zhang Yi and Minister Huang's secretary coming, he thought it was a relative of a high-ranking official, and the female singer walked through the back door and came in to participate, so it must not be much better. I didn't pay attention to it.
I didn't expect that the person who took the initiative to send it to the door was actually a big coffee. Director Luo Wen and Wang Mingquan Huang still know that they are very famous among Hong Kong singers. But just now he could see the respect that the two of them had for the young man.
Yes, it's respect. That respect is not because of status and money, but because of ability.
A young man under twenty years old has broken into such a career, and it will not work without respect.
"Director Huang may not know that Mr. Zhang is not a simple film director. Today, it holds the record for the highest record sales in all of Southeast Asia. And the first record broke the record for the highest sales of a record in Southeast Asia. Not long ago, the second record broke the first record again, and I believe that no one but himself will be able to break that record. Wang Mingquan smiled and said.
"Really?" Director Huang asked with some shock and joy.
"Of course, he's also a famous songwriter, and he writes and composes all the songs on his discography." Luo Wen said with a smile, "He is also a famous best-selling novel author." β
"He is a legend of Hong Kong. If Director Huang can invite him to perform on stage, it is estimated that this Spring Festival Gala will become an eternal classic in the future. Wang Mingquan then said with a smile.
However, he was pulled by Na Luo Wen, and immediately reacted, and the smile on his face instantly froze. She naturally knows that Zhang Yi's identity is so easy to perform on stage now. If he himself is unwilling, he will not be too talkative.
Zhang Yi accompanied Zhou Huimin to the backstage. At this time, CCTV obviously did not have the same wealth as it would have in the future, or that his wealth had not yet been used on the stage. The stages are a bit rudimentary, and so is the lounge area. Also, there's no separate powder room or anything.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhou, Miss Zhou, can you sign for me."
As soon as Zhang Yi and Zhou Huimin sat down, two people came over and said to Zhang Yi and the two with some excitement.
"Good! Listen to your accent. Not mainlanders. Zhang Yi smiled and took a notebook and pen from the man.
"I came from Taiwan and am the host of this Spring Festival Gala. My name is Zhu Wanyi. The man smiled and said.
"My name is Banban, and I'm from Hong Kong. Don't forget mine. The person next to Zhu Wanyi immediately said. However, it is spoken in Cantonese.
Zhang Yi smiled, handed the signed notebook to Zhou Huimin, then took the spotted notebook and signed his name, and then handed the notebook and pen to Zhou Huimin at the same time.
"Mr. Zhang, are you two going to perform on stage? We got the list of programs, why don't you have yours. Zhu Wanyi took the notebook signed by Zhou Huimin. didn't leave, but asked Zhang Yi and the others.
"Xiao Min has a program, but it's added temporarily. I was just invited to watch this Spring Festival Gala. Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Hey! That's a shame. I haven't heard Mr. Zhang sing live. I like all of Mr. Zhang's songs. Especially "Love is You and Me" sung with Miss Zhou! Zhu Wanyi said with some regret.
"I love 'Pompous,' 'Red Sun,' and 'About Winter,' and I seem to like them all." Maddara continued.
"Thank you!" Zhang Yi smiled. I didn't know what to say, so I said these two words.
"Mr. Zhang!" Director Huang came over with a smile on his face. The enthusiasm is like fire, and there is a clear difference from what it was just now.
"Director Huang! Is it Min's turn to rehearse? Zhang Yi looked at Director Huang and said with a smile.
"Huh! No. Director Huang didn't know how to speak for a while, and he stopped talking a little.
"Director Huang has something to do, just say it." Zhang Yi glanced at Director Huang, then smiled and said.
"I just heard Mr. Luo and Miss Wang say that Mr. Zhang's achievements in singing are extremely dazzling, so I want to invite Mr. Zhang, see if you can sing two songs on stage, one is fine." Director Huang immediately said with a dandruff.
Zhang Yi looked at Director Huang, then at Zhou Huimin, then smiled and said, "Okay." I'll sing a song, Xiao Min will sing a song, and we'll sing another song together, do you see it's okay. However, I would like to be a little bit earlier. β
At this time, the directors of the Spring Festival Gala did not face the artists of Hong Kong and Taiwan as much as the later generations, and even the directors of the first two sessions suffered a lot of bird anger. Invitation, that's no different from asking.
This is completely reversed from the artists of later generations who went to the Spring Festival Gala and begged the director, and the initiative. Moreover, Zhang Yi's identity is a little different. After all, he was invited by Minister Huang of the Ministry of Culture to watch the guest, not the guest performer, and he couldn't force it.
"No problem, no problem at all. I'll arrange it. When Director Huang heard this, he was a little surprised and excited.
"Ah Yi, which song are you going to sing? Which one do we sing together? After Director Huang left, Zhou Huimin immediately asked. And Zhu Wanyi and Banban also looked at Zhang Yi expectantly.
"I'll sing "Loyal to the Country", this song may be more appropriate. As for our chorus, let's sing "Love is You and Me"! Zhang Yi smiled and said.
The rehearsal was naturally very smooth, Zhang Yi sang a song, sang a song with Zhou Huimin, and Zhou Huimin sang a song "I Wish You Peace" alone.
Zhang Yi's program was arranged for the third appearance, and the first was a Peking Opera performance, and the second was an instrumental performance.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, many leaders came to the studio hall of the Spring Festival Gala, and the vice minister of culture who invited Zhang Yi to watch was naturally present in person.
The first two programs are more traditional, especially the popular Cheng dΓΉ of Peking Opera at this time is definitely above the songs. Naturally, there was a burst of applause from the audience, as well as applause. Instrumental performance, on the other hand, is relatively weaker.
"Next, Mr. Zhang Yi from Hong Kong is invited to bring us the song "Loyal to the Country"! Mr. Zhang Yi is not only a famous songwriter, singer and best-selling author in Hong Kong, but also a famous screenwriter and director. I believe that everyone will be familiar with "Ip Man" written and directed by him, so please enjoy the songs brought to us by Mr. Zhang Yi now. β
The host's introduction to Zhang Yi is different from other people, but it is undoubtedly full of explosive points, not only the audience in front of the TV was immediately attracted, but also the people in the studio hall.
Zhang Yi is backstage, but he is smiling when he listens, so it's okay, maybe after the Spring Festival Gala, he will become the most influential person among mainland audiences. Moreover, Zhou Huimin will also become a well-known figure in education. When "Myth" is released in the mainland, it will definitely have a great effect.
This is also the reason why Zhang Yi asked Zhou Huimin to perform on stage, and he did not refuse the invitation.
The music sounded, and Zhang Yi walked slowly to the front of the stage.
In these years, except for the costumes of the drama, the rest were not as elaborate as those of later generations. Zhang Yi was dressed as usual, dressed in a Tang suit, stepping on the bottom of a thousand layers, and in his elegant temperament, he was handsome and calm.
However, countless viewers at the scene were stunned, and so were the viewers in front of the TV. Because, Zhang Yi is too young, and the young one can't combine it with the introduction just now.
Famous songwriter, singer, best-selling fiction writer, screenwriter, director. Moreover, "Ip Man", a movie that set off a boom in the mainland, was actually written and directed by this young man.
Perhaps, there are still many people who don't know the importance of screenwriters and directors to a movie, but everyone knows that this young man is very good and powerful.
Zhang Yi didn't care about everyone's shock, but sang:
The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north
The dragon rode and neighed, and the sword aura was like frost
The heart is like the Yellow River
Who can resist in 20 years
Hatred is mad and the knife is headed
How many siblings are buried in their bones
What a pity to die to repay the homeland
As soon as this song is about serving the motherland, Zhang Yi sings it masculinely. And the audience, both live and in front of the TV, came back from the incredible shock and listened so intoxicated.
"Zhang Yi is here to greet the people of the whole country. I wish you all a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year! (To be continued......)
