While determining the personnel, the work of selecting the songs is also underway. However, this work is much simpler, because just selecting the main melody songs in the old time and space is ready-made, but the songs with obvious characteristics of the times and are not easy to modify are removed. Finally, 26 songs were selected, basically all songs with high main melody and positive energy. The list is:

On the Songhua River

Great Wall Ball

Ode to the Yellow River

Yellow River Chorus

The descendant of the dragon

My Chinese heart

Chinese

Clouds in my hometown

Heroes' Battle Song

Singing the motherland

My motherland

Ode to the Motherland

Unity is strength

Our team is facing the sun

The Great Wall will never fall

Oriental Pearl

Song of the Seven Sons

After all the personnel and repertoire are selected, they will naturally enter the rehearsal stage, which is also the stage of establishing the concert. Moreover, there is not much time left for the responsible team, with a total of only about 15-20 days. These tasks are only possible by the 7 people in the responsible team.

Because the chorus is not simple, multiple people sing in unison, there are actually many forms, including simultaneous voices and mixed voices; choruses, lead choruses, two, three, four and other choruses, a cappella choruses. There are accompaniment or accompaniment choruses, duets, trio, etc., but this performance is tight after all, and the participants are basically laymen, so it is impossible to play too many tricks, but it cannot be made too simple. Most songs use the form of mixed voices and lead choruses, and a few are pure choruses, such as the Volunteer March, and the Yellow River chorus use the form of duets, and the Song of the Seven Sons is singed in a group of all young people, etc. Basically, each song has a different arrangement. In addition, there are also program arrangements, dance design, costumes, etc., which can be said to be quite heavy.

Fortunately, after completing their own rehearsal projects, all the members of the band were very enthusiastic to help, guiding the chorus group to perform, participating in the design of dance performance, interaction between singers and dancers, as well as the arrangement of the entire concert program, and even the discussion and work of stage arrangements, the discussion and work of costumes were all very energetic, which greatly alleviated the workload of the responsible group.

It turns out that after half a year of no serious things to do, the people in the band couldn't hold it in, because in this era there was no Internet or IFI. For modern people, this was almost a hellish life, and even otaku couldn't stand it. Moreover, the people who were bands were all extroverts with a relatively open and outgoing personality, and they felt extremely empty and bored. Now they finally had serious things to do, and they were their own professional career. Naturally, these people were all excited, and their enthusiasm was far beyond the old time and space. Many people even lamented that if they had worked so hard, they would have become famous in the old time and space, so would they still need to perform on a boat?

After sixteen days of rigorous and hard rehearsals, two more rehearsals were performed. The entire concert was revised and finally basically finalized. Today is a formal audition and the last rehearsal in Tianjin. Tomorrow afternoon, the concert will take a boat out to Shanghai, and Mulin has gone to Shanghai with several technicians and a set of audio equipment two days ago to start the preparatory preparations for the concert.

The audition was held in the grand banquet hall of the Lishunde Hotel, and about 150 more audiences were invited, including more than 4 of the time travelers, basically all of them. Among the five executive members, Wang Yunpeng was in Qingdao, Xiao Jianjun was in Dagukou, Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng, and Xu Ji were all present. In addition, members of consulates from various countries in Tianjin and some merchants were invited, about 30 more people, and the others were local celebrities, gentry personnel, and the imperial envoys of the Qing court and his ranks.

On the one hand, the responsibility team will showcase the results of the hard rehearsal over the past ten days, and on the other hand, it will allow the participants to feel the atmosphere of the formal performance and enhance their experience in on-the-spot performance. Another goal is to see the reactions of people of this era to this concert, which is also related to the effectiveness of this public opinion counterattack.

Prince Qing, Li Hongzhang, Zhao Shuqiao and others were all staying at the Lishunde Hotel, and they also heard the chorus rehearsals, and saw a large number of good-looking men and women, and young men coming in and out, and they also vaguely heard some of the concerts. However, this time they all followed the principle of being a low-key person, so they did not ask much about it. However, they did not expect that overseas Chinese would invite themselves to watch this concert.

Before the Gengzi Kingdom, Prince Qing often went to the palace to watch operas with Cixi. He thought that the concerts of overseas Chinese were similar to those of operas, so he was quite interested and wanted to see what was surprising about the dramas of overseas Chinese. Of course, this is because the errands from this trip to Tianjin were also done well. Now Prince Qing is in a good mood, so he has such leisure and leisure.

Li Hongzhang has a lot of knowledge and knows that this kind of concert is different from Chinese dramas, but is a thing that has emerged by foreigners. When Li Hongzhang visited Europe, he was invited to watch European concerts or operas in France, Britain, Germany, etc., but on the one hand, there is a difference in Chinese and Western cultures, and on the other hand, it is because of language, so Li Hongzhang is drowsy every time. It is because of etiquette that he has to force himself to hold on. However, no matter whether Li Hongzhang wants to or not, he has to give face to overseas Chinese. As for Zhao Shuqiao, Zhang Peilun, Li Jingfang and others, they are just joining in the fun.

Lishunde Hotel does not have a special concert hall, so it can only be renovated with a banquet hall, set up a stage more than one meter high on the front, and hung a red curtain tent. At the top of the curtain tent, there is also a banner hanging: My Chinese Heart Large Concert.

The seats of the audience were also temporarily set up. Five round tables were set up in front of the stage, each round table was equipped with 6 chairs, and some tea and snacks were placed on the table. This was the main VIP guests, and the other seats were arranged in a row. Prince Qing, Li Hongzhang, and Zhao Shuqiao were naturally the VIP guests this time. They were arranged in the round table in the middle, accompanied by Xia Bohai, Qin Zheng and Xu Ji. The other four round tables were arranged for other leaders of the group, Zhang Peilun, Li Jingfang, and representatives of consulates from various countries. The rest were arranged in the back seats.

Although the few big words on the banner are not arranged from right to left according to the customs of this era, Prince Qing, Li Hongzhang and others can still understand it, but they don’t understand what it means. They all know that overseas Chinese have always used China to replace the Qing court. Now some people accused overseas Chinese of deliberately treating the Qing court. However, the Central Plains dynasties in all dynasties have regarded themselves as China, so the Qing Dynasty is actually one, and overseas Chinese have not yet accepted the Qing court's constituency, so there is nothing wrong with replacing China with the Qing court.

Not long after, all the people invited to watch were here. The main light of the banquet hall was turned off, and the whole banquet was dark. Two spotlights were turned on on the left and right corners, illuminating two circular apertures on the curtain. At this time, a man and a woman were squeezed out from the joints of the two curtains, namely the concert hosts Zhang Yang and Li Ying.

In fact, this kind of concert does not require high demands on the host, that is, the title of the play is reported. Of course, sometimes they will say a few words to play, but overall it is still very simple. It could have been completely left to others to do. However, in the old time and space, although both of them were hosts of CCTV, they could only do second-rate programs, and they had no chance of hosting first-line programs, let alone hosting some evening party programs. Seeing those first-line hosts glamorously occupying the TV and the Internet, it is definitely impossible to say that they did not have some envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts. And in this era, they would encounter such opportunities, so they naturally would not let them go, and they would have to live the addiction to hosting anyway.

Zhang Yang was wearing a dark blue dress, lined with a light beige shirt, tied with a bow tie, and a bouquet of fireworks on his left chest, and his head was neatly combed, looking like a host; while Li Ying was long tied up, wearing light makeup, and wearing a beige floor-length dress. It turned out that this dress was off-shoulder and had a low chest. Considering the ability of this era, there was another layer of shawl on the outside, which covered a lot of exposed places, and looked dignified and decent, glossy, full of charm but not charming.

Although the appearance of the two made the audience lit up, the clothes of both of them were not their own, because in the old time and space, they were interviewed with the fleet, so it was impossible to bring dresses. Fortunately, there were spare dresses on the passenger and roulette ship, which allowed the two to fully show off.

As the two announced the beginning of the concert, the curtain slowly opened. At this time, the choir of the first song had already stood on the stage, all adult men and women, standing in four rows, arranged in low to high. The women in the front two rows were at once and were wearing a red-bottomed peony dress imitating the cheongsam style, which looked very gorgeous; the men in the back two rows were wearing a black suit, tied with a bow tie, and their heads were combed smoothly. Each person held a songbook clip in his hands.

In fact, these clothes are provided by passenger and roulette boats. The welcome dresses worn by female choruses are only removed from the slanted gifts, while the clothes of male choruses are uniforms of passenger and roulette boats. However, they look very neat.

On both sides of the chorus stand, there is the band's position. At this time, all the musicians and staff were also here, and the piano and gongs were all in one square meter. There is also a small platform of one square meter in front of the chorus stand, which is the position of the conductor. After the host's introduction, amid the audience's applause, Yang Sen walked up from behind the curtain on the left side of the stage in a dark tuxedo dress.

He originally had a long head, and then he also combed into a big quilt, tied a ponytail behind his head, holding a baton in his hand, but with a look of spirit, people who practice art were somewhat passionate and ideal at first, and Yang Sen was no exception. When he was young, he also imagined himself standing in the center of the stage and directing a large concert. It was just that life was exhausted, passion disappeared, and ideals gradually became realistic. Therefore, in the old time and space, Yang Sen had basically given up conducting, but he did not expect that in this era, he could realize his dream of conducting on such a stage.
