Chapter 665: Spring Festival Gala Rehearsal

"Comrades of the Spring Festival Gala program group, hello everyone! I'm Li Shuang, and I'm glad to meet you again. There are many people here, all of whom are my old friends, I am very happy to be able to see you again on this stage, and I hope that you will continue to shine on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, contribute your wisdom and talents, and dedicate wonderful programs to TV audiences across the country. There are also many new faces here, first of all, I would like to welcome you all to come, and at the same time, I hope that you can come up with more and more exciting programs to dedicate to the TV audience across the country......"

Li Shuang stood in the center of the stage and spoke for about ten minutes. She didn't take the script, but she spoke calmly and clearly, obviously with a lot of experience. The words were very well grasped, not only expressing enthusiasm, but also pointing out the status of his own group, which can be said to have won the essence of the speech.

Chu Yang noticed that many actors, especially those new young actors, after listening to Li Shuang's speech, they all faintly felt a sense of awe for their own group.

And those familiar old faces, although they are not as obvious as those young actors, but when Li Shuang spoke, these people were also listening seriously, and none of them dared to show the expression of playing a big name.

It can also be seen from this that Li Shuang's prestige among these actors is still very high.

At a glance, he found a lot of familiar faces underneath, of course, this familiarity refers to seeing it on TV, and people don't necessarily know him. For example, the bright bald Guo Chunlin, and the beautiful Ma Li sitting next to him. The two partners sat together again, and it was no surprise that it was another sketch, but I didn't know what it was playing. There is also a singer who sits not far from him with a big back and a very artistic style, who is a well-known Dai Yuqiang in Chinese bel canto singing, and this should also be a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala.

Chu Yang also saw the famous pianist Lang Lang below, but he didn't expect him to come to the rehearsal. It is said that this grand pianist is very busy, flying in the sky almost every day, and is busy performing everywhere.

Seeing him, Chu Yang had an urge to have a discussion with him. Speaking of which. When it comes to the instruments you know most in the world. In addition to the bamboo flute at the beginning, it is the piano. And these two are also Chu Yang's favorite musical instruments. Being able to meet the piano master, Chu Yang is naturally a little itchy!

Lang Lang naturally also noticed Chu Yang. This genius is brilliant. A pianist who is already famous all over the world at a young age. At the moment, he was looking at the guy on the stage who was younger than himself with those big eyes.

"Chu Yang, interesting, I heard that he plays the piano very well. Two days ago, there was a video of him on the Internet, the Yellow River is too good, I have the opportunity to fight with him, I don't know who is stronger! Lang Lang thought in his heart, his eyes met Chu Yang on the stage unexpectedly, and at the moment of collision, both of them seemed to understand each other's minds, and couldn't help but smile slightly!

After Li Shuang finished speaking, director Fang Wen welcomed the arrival of the preparatory team on behalf of the program team, and after a few simple words, he finished the welcome ceremony.

Compared with Li Shuang's speech, Fang Wen's words were shorter, and he was finished in less than a minute. This also reflects her unwillingness to be false and a little anxious at the same time. You know, I don't know how many big names are sitting in the audience at the moment, although they may not dare to complain about them because of the identity of Li Shuang and others, but if the delay is too long, it is indispensable to have an opinion on themselves as a director. The actors of the Spring Festival Gala are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, like those top celebrities, but they are not so easy to serve!

Moreover, hundreds of staff members were waiting there, and if they were delayed for one more minute, Fang Wen felt that it was a huge waste and loss. You must know that a rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala is not like those small galas, and the cost of its investment is almost enough to hold a medium and large gala!

Several people from the program preparation team walked off the stage, and they sat in the same row with Fang Wen, ready to wait for the rehearsal to start, while Director Hu made an excuse and slipped away first. As the head of CCTV, he has a lot of transactional work every day, and it is impossible to watch this kind of rehearsal. The program of the Spring Festival Gala may look wonderful in the eyes of ordinary people, but for a leader like him who deals with actors every day, he has long been tired of watching it.

After everyone was seated, Fang Wen first asked Li Shuang, and after seeing the other party nodding, he clapped his hands and said, "Attention everyone, the rehearsal will start immediately, and the lighting and sound props are in place!" ”

At this moment, Fang Wen's temperament is completely different from just now, standing there, as if the huge stage is all under her control!

Chu Yang looked at this female director who had directed the Spring Festival Gala three times in a row, and was also very curious about what new highlights of the Spring Festival Gala this time were under her direction.

He picked up the program list in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The four-and-a-half-hour Spring Festival Gala has a large amount of information, exquisite production, and high program quality, which is incomparable to any other party. There are almost all the elites of Chinese actors here, and each show is selected from the best of the best, and only after layers of selection can they appear on this list. Chu Yang watched it and found that as rumored by the outside world, the proportion of language programs has increased greatly, from five to eleven from Director Feng last year. It seems that there were too many singing and dancing programs last year, and netizens complained too much. After all, for a Spring Festival Gala that mainly reflects the "New Year's flavor" and "lively", a funny and humorous language program is the main dish, and it is reasonable to focus on it. If it's all singing and dancing, it's a concert.

But Chu Yang doesn't think that singing and dancing programs are not important. Especially since he is still a Jin Danyin Xiu, he knows what a really high-quality singing and dancing program can have on the audience!

He looked at the few singing and dancing programs, basically there were not a few new songs, either chorus, or joint singing, only two soloists, the name was relatively unfamiliar to him, and the singer was relatively unfamiliar, probably a newcomer. Chu Yang deliberately looked at the two programs, one is called "Beautiful Chinese Dream", the singer who sings is called Shu Jia, Chu Yang has not heard the name of this singer much, and the other is "Small World", the singer who sings is called Li Xiao, who is also a newcomer.

As for the dance category, there are three or four, but they are either group dances or singing dances, and one is a collaboration with Lang Lang and September Miracle, called "Waltz of Spring". Chu Yang has heard this piece, it is a symphony, since there is Lang Lang in it, it should be adapted into a piano. It's just that in Chu Yang's impression, this piece doesn't seem to be suitable for piano adaptation, and I don't know how it was composed.

While he was working on the program, the rehearsal had officially begun as a burst of festive music sounded on the stage!

Chu Yang looked at the program list in his hand, put it down for the time being, and set his eyes on the stage. This is the first time he has watched the Spring Festival Gala since he came to this world. Although he has the memory of the original Chu Yang watching the Spring Festival Gala, it seems that this guy doesn't seem to be very interested in the performance of the Spring Festival Gala. It can only be said that the current Internet is too developed, and all kinds of art forms and performances can be found on the Internet.

Of course, Chu Yang doesn't think so, in his opinion, the reason why the Spring Festival Gala is becoming more and more unpopular with everyone is naturally related to the above, everyone's appreciation level has improved, but more importantly, the overall quality of the current program is indeed not high. At least in the eyes of a music monk, the quality of many programs can only be regarded as "low". Of course, his standards are a bit high, but even if he doesn't follow his standards, it is difficult to surpass the current program compared with the previous programs.

For example, ten years ago or even earlier, almost every year of the Spring Festival Gala, a batch of pop songs will emerge, the quality is very high, and even now it is still widely sung. For example, a mixed-race singer from Treasure Island is also one of the mentors of the Voice program - Qi Qin. When he appeared at the Spring Festival Gala in the 80s, he sang the two songs "A Fire in Winter" and "Clouds in My Hometown", which have been sung for decades. Especially the song "Hometown Clouds", even if it sounds like it now, it is still very flavorful. In Chu Yang's view, the artistic gold content of this song is far stronger than some of the so-called "pop songs" now.

There are many such examples, and Chu Yang doesn't even need to list them one by one. It can only be said that the current era is too impetuous, and the same is true for the art circle. Those who are engaged in creation can't dive into creating high-quality products, but just blindly cater to the fast-paced public aesthetic taste, which is the collective sadness of the entire Chinese art circle!

In the sound of celebratory Chinese gongs and drums, the lights on the stage were bright, and under the colorful lights, a team of dancers wearing traditional Chinese red festive costumes walked onto the stage and danced joyfully. Chu Yang looked at the dance movements, many of them were moved from the movements of the "Great Yangge", which is very representative of the north, and some new dance forms were added to form a work. There were a lot of people dancing, Chu Yang took a rough look, and there were four groups of people coming up before and after, adding up to a total of more than two hundred people.

In a group dance of this scale, the rhythm and movements are very uniform, and the expressions of the actors are also in place, and they are obviously all professional actors. Chu Yang looked at the program list in his hand, which showed that these people were all from the Huaxia Dance Academy and the Central Dance Troupe, judging from their well-trained movements, these people were all really talented and learned.

Of course, in Chu Yang's opinion, that's just it. Compared with Xiaoyan's dance, Chu Yang still felt that these people's dances were too mechanical and dull, although they were lively, but they lacked a sense of spirituality. Chu Yang has always felt that dance, like music, if you want to move people, you must have your own soul and aura. This sounds mysterious, but in fact, for a sound cultivator, it is something that can be truly felt.

Chu Yang thought that some time ago, Xiaoyan had told himself about a solo dance that was being rehearsed, and he didn't know how the rehearsal was. But as far as this show is concerned, Chu Yang feels that he can let Xiaoyan participate in it as a clear stroke. In his mind, he had even conceived a concrete picture.

On top of the first program, he drew a big circle with a broad brush, and then in the middle, he nodded a little heavily! (To be continued......)
