Chapter 299 Countdown to the Spring Festival Gala
"Mom, I can't go back for the Chinese New Year this year. The director of the Spring Festival Gala asked me to act in a show, yes, CCTV."
There were noisy sounds and busy figures everywhere in the studio. He Xiao put his phone in his ear and spoke loudly to the microphone.
"Okay! Good thing! If you can go to the Spring Festival Gala, our whole family will support you. Act well, don't mess it up!"
My mother, Ms. Li Chengjuan, was overjoyed when she received a call from her son. After hearing the news of the Spring Festival Gala, she couldn't stop smiling.
In the eyes of the old man, television is a very authoritative thing. If you can play on TV, especially programs like the Spring Festival Gala, you will definitely be successful and shining your ancestors.
Li Chengjuan didn't know that his child had just experienced a capital ban. He didn't live a very satisfactory life in the entertainment industry, a place with many shallow turtles.
"Old He, your son is going to be on the Spring Festival Gala!"
Through the phone, He Xiao heard his mother telling the good news to his father on the other side of the microphone, and the voice was filled with joy.
Comrade He Jiandong was busy shoveling snow in the big yard of his grandfather's house. He wore a dog-skin hat on his head. He couldn't help but raise his head when he heard the sound. On his hunched body, the vicissitudes and dull cheeks moved, his beard shook, and he breathed out.
"Let him do it well and don't embarrass the old He family."
After saying that, he began to shovel the snow again, wearing a pair of worn gloves without fingertips, and the big shovel was blowing and dancing with a wind.
Hei Province had just experienced heavy snow, and He Xiao's hometown was even more of a area that God was taking care of. The snow was very thick and it was not over his ankles. He Jiandong had to work.
In fact, He Xiao has made so much money, and he has never missed the old couple. He pays back tens of thousands of yuan every month. When he makes a lot of money, he even transfers hundreds of thousands of yuan. However, the old couple is reluctant to spend it and saves it all.
A job like shoveling snow can be easily completed by hiring a few people from the same village to help, but the thin-skinned He Jiandong is unwilling to do that and would rather work hard on his own.
Fortunately, He Jiandong is strong and not exhausted because of this. He spent half his life hard and shoveling a few shovels of snow.
I hung up the phone with my mother, and He Xiao knew that this matter was confirmed and I would definitely not be able to go back this year.
I don’t know if he needs him during the Lantern Festival Gala. If he can’t use it, he plans to go back to his hometown on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Teacher He, I am the assistant sent by Director Liao to you. Just tell me if you need anything during the rehearsal."
As soon as he put his cell phone in his pocket, a young man who was not very tall came out next to him and said to He Xiao.
The Spring Festival Gala project is too big, with a total duration of four hours. The director cannot cover everything and follow up with each program in person, so the program team has a lot of staff. Generally, when actors create scripts, they just need to tell the staff about anything.
"Okay, let's wait for Sister Ya first."
He Xiao nodded. After getting to know the little assistant for a while, the two of them began to wait for Zhang Ya. She had just gone to the bathroom.
Soon, Zhang Ya's figure appeared from the corner of the studio, and was still so eye-catching, attracting many people to secretly watch.
"Sister Ya, do you have any suitable duet songs for men and women in your hands?"
After He Xiao met her, he walked towards the studio and asked at the same time.
Zhang Ya shook her head, glanced at him with a beautiful eyes, and said lightly: "Except for your song "We Seems Where Are We", I have never sang a chorus with a boy since my debut."
"Uh..." He Xiao was stunned. Unexpectedly, the cooperation between the two in Yanjing last year turned out to be Sister Ya's first stage double show.
He said a little embarrassedly: "It seems that it is not good to continue singing "We Seen Where Are We Seen"? Why not create one?"
"Yes." Zhang Ya nodded slightly, then frowned and said, "But the program we replaced was originally seven minutes long. Do you have seven minutes of songs? It's not easy to create."
"Well, the duration of the program is indeed a problem..." He Xiao pondered for a moment, feeling that this sweet potato was really hot.
Because the program where Zou Heguang was removed lasted for seven minutes, one more point or less, and other programs have been rehearsed a long time ago, and it is impossible to deduct it from other links.
So how to make up these seven minutes has become the biggest problem, and the hasty rehearsal period has become a trivial matter.
"Or the two teachers sing songs, it's quite suitable for the Spring Festival Gala stage." Assistants sent by the director team gave advice.
"What do you think?" He Xiao looked at Zhang Ya. The song skewering is a good idea, but it is a bit troublesome to adapt.
And in this way, all those who sing already existed songs can no longer sing songs on the black phone.
He Xiao wanted to use the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to release a new song because there is no greater publicity resource than the Spring Festival Gala. If the songs are sing and skewers, they are all old songs from others, it would be a waste of this big stage.
"I'll listen to you." Zhang Ya fiddled with one hand at her hair next to her collarbone, making her moves casually, but in the hands of the queen, she showed a unique beauty.
The assistants next to them were stunned.
Seeing this, He Xiao nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll write a song now, but it's not easy to master this time. A song lasts three or four minutes, and it's too long and becomes aesthetically exhausted. I guess I have to add some other performances to make up the seven minutes."
"Everything is OK." Zhang Ya said lazyly.
The matter has been confirmed, and He Xiao’s opinion is the main focus.
He Xiao was not worried because in the black mobile phone, there were many songs suitable for men and women to sing duets. He only pondered for a while and then came up with a plan.
This song is very good. In the world of black mobile phones, I also went on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. At that time, a queen sang together with the new song god of Xiangjiang. It was just right to take it out.
So He Xiao had already written the score that afternoon. Zhang Ya tried to hum, and her eyes couldn't help but narrowed into a pair of crescent moons, as if she was very satisfied with this song.
The band teacher only gave him a thumbs up and recognized He Xiao's talent.
For the whole afternoon, the sound of He Xiao and Zhang Ya practicing songs echoed in CCTV's rehearsal hall.
Occasionally, when someone passes by and listens to the song, he can't help but stop and is attracted by the melody.
Then they all sighed that He Xiao, the best original singer in Chinese, has earned him a good reputation.
During this period, the director Liao Yuqing also came and watched a show. He was also very satisfied and had nothing to be criticized for.
In this way, days passed day by day, CCTV Spring Festival Gala entered the countdown, and the New Year atmosphere became stronger and stronger.
With two days left, New Year's Eve, someone exposed the list of programs on the Internet for the Spring Festival Gala. Netizens excitedly went to see if their favorite idols participated in this Spring Festival Gala. For a while, the Internet was extremely lively, and many celebrities became popular because of this.
He Xiao also went to see it happily, trying to find his name on it, but after searching for a while, he couldn't see it. Finally, after a closer look, he found that the list showed the previous information and also showed Zou Heguang's program. The ones he and Zhang Ya replaced were not displayed on it.
This made He Xiao a little depressed. He still wanted to become popular, and maybe he could also be on the hot search.
Time passed, and as countless people looked forward to it, the day of New Year’s Eve finally arrived.
CCTV No. 1 Studio was completely busy, with people everywhere, making final preparations.
The guests who were going to perform on stage were all serious and kept rehearsing in the backstage, for fear of making mistakes.
He Xiao was not nervous at first, but instead felt that the atmosphere was very lively and exciting.
But as the live broadcast time got closer, especially when there were only the last three hours left, he began to breathe heavily.
When the pointer approached eight o'clock and the hosts all came on stage, the tense atmosphere reached its peak and everyone's heartbeat was accelerating.
Chapter completed!
