Chapter 523: Time Is Limited
1. Time is limited, and opportunities to blossom are rare.
Spring Festival Gala.
The sacredness of this word is that it carries a kind of spiritual sustenance of Chinese people throughout the era. At the time of family reunion every year, it is the indispensable main dish on the table, even if everyone is tired of the greasy food and does not want to go back. Big fish and big meat, this main dish will also be placed in the center of the dining table on time and as ordered.
Being able to be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is an honor, an excellent publicity opportunity, and a dream-fulfilling journey.
When I was young, every night, watching those people on the stage being stared at and even familiar with by hundreds of millions of people, everyone would have some impulse and idea to perform in their hearts.
It doesn't matter if you go on stage to perform on the Spring Festival Gala, it doesn't matter if it has something to do with money. To say it does matter means that it will definitely bring you a certain degree of popularity so that you can get more opportunities. To say it doesn't matter means that you are really doing it for this stage. It’s worth giving up a lot.
Chen Hao got off the plane and arrived in Yanjing at around nine o'clock in the evening. After arriving, he made a video call with his parents in the car, telling them that he was fine and reporting that he was safe. He also told his family to have enough New Year's goods. He would be there on New Year's Eve. , rushed back to his hometown overnight. The weather forecast for the next few days had been checked. There was no large-scale snowfall, and the highway would not be closed. After the performance that night, he, Kang Yan, and Chen Gang would rush back to Meicheng overnight.
First Chen Yuanping, then Chen Yu, and finally Qiao Xinmei, reminded him over and over again that the changes in the family and the strengthening of family ties in the past year have made the family closer, but there was no way to be there on New Year's Eve. Eating at home is worth this video, which lasts for nearly thirty minutes.
After arriving at the hotel, Chen Hao just took a hurried shower and rested quickly. Thanks to Chen Gang's ancient yoga-like posture, he could avoid tossing and turning, and avoided the embarrassment of young people who get so excited at night that they can't sleep at all. .
The next morning, I got up at four o'clock, washed up, and went out before five o'clock. I arrived at the appointment place with Na Ying twenty minutes early, bought some breakfast nearby and ate it in the car. Chen Hao felt that I'm very sorry, I didn't ask my seniors to wait for me. I originally had plenty of time, and I could easily find the feeling in the recording studio yesterday. However, due to my own reasons, I had to concentrate all this on the early morning of the rehearsal with makeup.
After Na Ying arrived, Chen Hao felt even more embarrassed. The other party was obviously not awake.
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't be polite to me. Do business first. If time permits, you have to treat me to a big meal for breakfast." Facing Na Ying's joke, Chen Hao accepted it with a smile: "Okay, okay, sister , you can choose any place, no matter how big the meal is.”
I still had breakfast. Na Ying was a great singer, and Chen Hao had no problem. The two of them just sang three times, singing some matching parts over and over again to feel which one was better, and left the recording easily in less than an hour. In the room, Chen Hao got into Na Ying's nanny car. She brought her own makeup artist but did not let anyone do it for her in the car. As soon as she put on the hat, she didn't care if she was photographed without makeup. Her carefree temperament, Make her like it more real.
Breakfast was served near the Chaotingtai studio. We didn’t go to any five-star hotel or any big hotel. Na Ying asked his assistant to buy some more authentic Yanjing breakfast snacks nearby. Everyone was in the car. This breakfast was settled casually.
"In Yanjing, the best breakfasts are found in these time-honored shops and roadside stalls. The same fried dough sticks or a drawer of steamed buns, but the taste enjoyment you get is completely different."
Chen Hao agreed very much with Na Ying's words. This is the same as the Spring Festival Gala. Many people are used to eating soybean juice and fried dough sticks as breakfast, but no matter how mediocre and unappetizing this thing is, it is indispensable as breakfast. Most people will still choose to use it to satisfy their hunger and to fill their stomachs in the morning.
Before the Spring Festival Gala, you didn’t know that the backstage could be so crowded. It was just a rehearsal. Everyone came over to rehearse in batches. In this way, the backstage was already very crowded. Na Ying took Chen Hao to introduce him to some people in the industry who were present at the moment. When they came down, the rehearsal on the stage had already begun. The two of them sat down in the corner of the auditorium. Naying's makeup artist began to put makeup on her. Chen Hao simply did some hair styling. When they got off the car and came in, they had already put on their costumes. After changing, he is wearing a pair of casual trousers and leather shoes, a very orthodox outfit, and a red Tang suit on his upper body. On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it is very important to dress in a festive manner.
Many people came and went in a hurry, saying hello at most, and few sat down to chat. The only ones that could be seen were some old folk performing artists. Feng Gong was sitting in the front rows, and Huang Hong and his partner were also in the back rows. of words in the corner.
Although the audience was crying for new ideas, the Spring Festival Gala without these familiar faces would be like a dish missing a very important seasoning. It has been several years since Mr. Zhao bid farewell to the Spring Festival Gala. Everyone is still I feel very uncomfortable. Every year, I am used to cooking dumplings after watching his skit. Every year, when the whole family puts down their mahjong tiles and wine glasses and gathers in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, it is basically locked in the time period of his skit. Now there is no Well, the No. 1 lounge that always belonged to him has changed its owners in turns in recent years.
Chen Hao was still a new face on this stage, and everyone was not very familiar with him. However, the dancers from all over the country who were crowded in the backstage waiting area were very familiar with Chen Hao. He went to the toilet and was pulled by many people to take pictures. He did not return to his seat for a long time. Seeing that it was almost time for their program rehearsal, Na Ying sent her assistant out and realized that among young people, the influence of her partner was not worse than those handsome idols.
In Chen Hao and Na Ying's program, the dance troupe did not need any cooperation with them. The dancers revolved around them. What they needed to do was to follow the established route, sing on stage, and try not to deviate from the position of standing and walking to facilitate the cooperation of the dancers. This is also the significance of the makeup rehearsal. Everything should be done according to the effect of the night, and the picture sense under the coordination of the on-site lighting and your clothes, and the state of your makeup under such lighting can be adjusted if there is anything wrong.
In view of the fact that live singing has gradually begun to be performed in recent years, the Spring Festival Gala director team is no longer as resistant to live singing as in the past. The equipment and on-site scheduling have also made great progress. As long as you are confident and sing well, you can be given the right to sing live. Of course, if you mess up, both parties will bear the responsibility. Therefore, even though Na Ying and Chen Hao are fully confident, they still sang live to the members of the director team twice before to make them confident.
The two people's way of going on stage is slightly different. Na Ying sang first, and she followed the props pushed onto the stage, presenting a family reunion scene. She walked out from the middle of the props and dancers while singing, while Chen Hao rose from the bottom of the stage. Today's performance was all in accordance with the procedures of the Spring Festival Gala, except that the audience was not full.
Na Ying started first: "Find some time, find some free time, take your children home often. Bring a smile, bring blessings, and accompany your lover home often."
Chen Hao's sight went from under the stage to above the stage, and he began to sing: "Mom prepared some old ways, Dad prepared a good meal, talk to Mom about the troubles in life, and talk to Dad about work."
Chorus: "Go home often, go home often, even if it's just to help Mom wash chopsticks and dishes. The elderly don't expect their children to make great contributions to the family. It's not easy to be together in a lifetime."
Before the two sang, many people in the audience whispered in a low voice, and some closed their eyes to rest and wait for their rehearsal time to come. There was no way, there were too many actors in the Spring Festival Gala, and the backstage was always crowded. Today was not New Year's Eve, and there were audience seats to rest for a while, so many performers chose this place.
When the two of them started, the scene seemed to be cut, and everyone looked at the stage intently and listened to the two people's singing. The plain lyrics expressed the warmth of "home" and aroused the desire for family affection in the hearts of everyone present. Many of them were both children and parents. This song made them want to go home. Are my parents waiting for us at home? Do we always say that we are too busy to go back home?
When it was sung for the second time, some people began to beat the rhythm. The song was catchy and some people could hum along. On the stage, Chen Hao and Na Ying's emotions were very good. The two were old acquaintances. When real emotions were put into the song, the interaction between them also revealed the longing for family affection.
The collective applause of the Spring Festival Gala performers at the rehearsal site was the best weapon to prove that this program was good enough.
Just like programs like skits and crosstalk, there was constant laughter at the rehearsal site, which could make people in the industry laugh and think that your program was good. Only then would your program make the national audience and even overseas Chinese around the world laugh on the night of New Year's Eve.
After the two of them left the stage, they received a lot of praise. Many veteran artists gave them a thumbs up. This song is good, much better than those songs that were played on the stage. This year, this song will definitely become a highlight on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
From this moment on, Chen Hao officially entered the rhythm of the Spring Festival Gala. After singing, under the guidance of the director team, he went to a special area to accept an interview with the reporter of the court TV station and record New Year's greetings for the people across the country.
After coming out, the news that Chen Hao returned to Beijing to participate in the Spring Festival Gala also spread immediately. Some programs began to send invitations, and even several Spring Festival Galas that could stagger the time sent invitations again for the Nth time, hoping that Haozi could participate in our Spring Festival Gala and sing two songs.
At the same time, some invitations to dinner parties also followed. At such a time point, celebrities are basically at two extremes. Either you push away all work arrangements in advance and spend the New Year with your family at home; or you become a little prince who rushes to the scene. In the busyness of publicity, making money, and returning favors, you can use the New Year's celebration to increase your popularity and make more connections.
