Chapter 166: Invitation to the Spring Festival Gala

"Shanghai Bund" has been hotly searched, and people in the industry generally believe that this is the first time Nuoyan has made a move after taking a break for more than half a month.

As for the previous song "Wude Gu", most of them simply ignored it.

After "Shanghai Beach" was released, it rushed onto the new song chart at an even more exaggerated speed than "West Sea Love Song", landing directly at No. 5!

"Love Song of the West Sea" is tenth. Although it has the support of overbearing CEOs, many people still think this song is tacky.

After all, Lao Dao said personally in the live broadcast room that he is a farmer, and their image is indeed not high-end enough.

Especially compared with the luxurious configuration of "Shanghai Beach", it looks even more shabby.

However, for an unknown singer to be able to compete on the same stage as Lin Wanqing, it is a great success in itself.

"The mysterious knight is at his peak when he debuts!"

""Love Song of the West Sea" successfully entered the top ten!"

"Shocking the music world, the second person to successfully break through the blockade since The Promise!"

""Love Song of the West Sea" is a failure but still a glory!"

This was the headline published by many entertainment media the next day.

The previous promise was like this. The debut shocked people's attention, with one hit song after another, and it was very likely to massacre the charts.

But now, both insiders and outsiders think that the promise is the evil dragon, and the knight is the new brave man.

"Love Song of the West Sea" can reach this point, the duel between Xiake and Nuoyan is considered a win, and it is not shameful to lose to "Shanghai Beach", after all, the resource gap in all aspects is too big.

To be able to achieve this achievement is already a miracle.

In the office, Qin Bangyan was reading a lot of news he saw online.

"Promise, what do you think?"

"Sit and watch."

Qin Bangyan choked for a moment, "What do you think of the song written by this knight?"

"Very good." Xu Nuo said nonchalantly.

"Compared with you?" Qin Bangyan refused to give up and continued to ask.

Xu Nuo touched his nose and compared himself with himself. He couldn't tell the difference between his left hand and his right hand. He could only say vaguely, "It's worse than me."

After saying that, he raised his head and met Qin Bangyan's eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile.

"You kid, this is the vest you wear!"

"Ah? No." Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment and shook his head in denial.

Qin Bangyan waved his hand to interrupt him, "Okay, stop pretending in front of me."

"Mr. Qin, how did you tell?"

"Haha, think about it carefully. When have you ever praised others?"

Promise: "..."

I was careless, it turns out the flaw is here.

Qin Bangyan took a sip of tea proudly and said, "Don't worry, most people can't guess it. After all, those songs are very different from your current style."

Xu Nuo could only smile awkwardly, he didn't want to hide it from Lao Qin, nothing more, this man could handle it, and he wouldn't be afraid to tell him.

"Are you going to continue writing the city series next?"

"Let's see how many days we can rest."

Qin Bangyan shook his head and said: "I can let you rest, but the company will probably not let you rest. You are now the company's cash cow. How can you watch the knights doing whatever they want from above?"

Xu Nuo smacked his lips and thought about it. After the waistcoat was exposed at the last literary ceremony, how could the company not know what he was doing at work? It just turned a blind eye and said, "Okay, I will do it if there is an order." written."

At this time, "Shanghai Beach" swept the country from east to west. Although most people could not understand Cantonese, everyone could hum a few words of "Lang Run, Lang Liu".

It doesn’t matter whether the lyrics are correct or not, the tune is the same as soon as you hear it.

As the most famous "empty ear" song on earth, the magical thing about this song is that even if you don't understand it or haven't watched the TV series, you can still sing it.

On the other side, "Love Song of the West Sea" began to spread from west to east like a virus.

The melancholy love songs of the vast northwest are in sharp contrast to the generous and heroic songs of the Oriental Pearl Tower.

There is a sense of competition, but this is only the view of some fans. Most people only care about whether it sounds good or not.

Everyone has discovered that as long as the promise is made, there will be a steady stream of new and good songs online.

During the time he was resting, except for the knights, no one else could fight, they were just chickens and dogs.

So a new group appeared on Promise's scarf, the "Renewal Party."

This "Update Party" is not just about urging people to update novels and songs. They also do the work of the CP Party. They urge people to attend the Spring Festival Gala, make promises to debut, and get married and have children. There is nothing they cannot do.

As the end of the year approaches, it is said that the Spring Festival Gala program should be almost ready. Normally, preparations for the Spring Festival Gala start half a year in advance every year.

Hosts are basically selected from CCTV. As for the program, we must refer to the trend of the year. Generally, we will choose a few particularly popular and positive songs.

But this year, Spring Festival Gala director Yu Tianlei is a little worried.

Originally, in the middle of the year, he probably had an idea of ​​what programs to choose. There would be a batch of programs that fit the main theme and trend, and another batch of programs that everyone liked, interspersed with them. The reputation of the selected artists should not be too bad. According to this standard, basically There's no problem.

Yet something went wrong.

The problem lies with Nuo Yan. After his debut in July, he suddenly turned the music world upside down.

The songs he chose before were good, but they seemed a bit inferior in front of the new songs he wrote.

Fortunately, there was no official notification before, otherwise his work would be a bit difficult.

If Lin Wanqing in the first half of the year was not even qualified for the Spring Festival Gala, then after July, this impossibility became a foregone conclusion.

After the album was released, every song was a hit, and the official praised him by name. Yu Tianlei himself was wondering what kind of background this person had.

Now Nuoyan has brought out another song "Shanghai Beach", which is very popular. If he doesn't invite Lin Wanqing, if it is snatched away by the local satellite TV station, the ratings will drop, and his position will be difficult.

Thinking of this, Yu Tianlei made a phone call.

It was Liu Shulan who answered the phone.

When she received the call, she wanted to shout out excitedly when she heard that it was the director of the Spring Festival Gala, and she quickly handed the phone to Lin Wanqing.

She listened at the side with her ears perked up, and her expression became more and more exaggerated.

After the call was hung up, Liu Shulan couldn't help but grab Lin Wanqing's arm, "Did I hear it right?"

"Yes."

"Two songs? Or even three songs?"

Lin Wanqing nodded.

"Are you still allowed to sing new songs?"

Lin Wanqing was very calm, "Well, Director Yu said that if the song is suitable, you can sing a new song."

"Solo?"

"Sister Liu, didn't you hear it all?" Lin Wanqing said helplessly.

"I'm just confirming it."

"My aunt, you are still so calm, do you know what this means?" Liu Shulan couldn't suppress her joy.

Lin Wanqing tried to ask, "Does it mean that I can sing three songs?"

Liu Shulan paused and rolled her eyes, "I think you learned it from Xu Nuo, this kid likes to be so choking."

"Go find Xu Nuo and see if he has any good ideas." Liu Shulan took her away.

It's not that she wants to find Xu Nuo for any ideas, but to come up with another new song.

It's not that there have been new songs in the Spring Festival Gala over the years, but that is a privilege that only a few people have. After all, the Spring Festival Gala has a huge influence, and the director needs to consider the popularity of the new song and the ratings.

Singing new songs on the Spring Festival Gala, on the one hand, means that the status has been recognized, and on the other hand, it is an excellent opportunity to promote new songs.

The worst ratings of the Spring Festival Gala were more than 20%, which means that one in five people in the country watched the show.

There is no other means of publicity that can compare to the Spring Festival Gala.

This invitation is full of sincerity. A solo performance, a new song, and three songs per person. How many singers have such treatment?

Even if there are, they are superstars who have been famous for many years. For example, Lin Wanqing is 25 years old. If the news gets out, it will cause another uproar.

Lin Wanqing is very calm. Xu Nuo once said to her, "If you are not invited to the Spring Festival Gala this year, this director will basically be done."

This is very confident and arrogant, but he has the strength to be arrogant.

Now when discussing the Spring Festival Gala program on Weibo, all his works will definitely be mentioned. Yes, almost all of his works will be mentioned.

"The Wind Rises", a classic song of the graduation season, naturally needs no introduction.

"Misplaced Time and Space", a song collected by the Youth Society, officially certified.

"Meet", a love song, countless people remember the line "Who I meet, what kind of dialogue will we have..."

"Later", I finally learned how to love...

Each song, in the music world, is a sweeping existence, just like he said, not appearing on the Spring Festival Gala is a loss for the Spring Festival Gala.

Except for CCTV, other places have extended olive branches to local Spring Festival Galas. Local stations are not so particular, and everyone is very single: "Whatever conditions you want, solo, chorus, symphony, whatever you want to sing."

However, Lin Wanqing has been waiting for a call from CCTV. As Xu Nuo expected, the other party was very generous and almost gave the best conditions.

"Teacher Xu, Xiaoqing is on the Spring Festival Gala!"

As soon as she entered the office, Liu Shulan couldn't wait to say.

"Well, not bad." Xu Nuo and Lin Wanqing's reactions seemed to be cast in the same mold.

Liu Shulan curled her lips wildly, and she decided to take revenge on these two people, who told them to show off their love every day.

"Director Yu said that Xiaoqing can sing three songs, and one of them can be a new song."

Xu Nuo's expression was finally a little surprised, "Director Yu is so discerning?"

"..." Liu Shulan didn't want to complain anymore, "See if there are any suitable new songs."

Xu Nuo's fingers tapped the table unconsciously, "Does the director have any requirements?"

"No requirements, it's best to have a positive outlook, be positive, and promote Chinese culture. By the way, Director Yu also said that there are audiences in the front row who like opera..."

Xu Nuo was a little speechless. This was already a topic composition, "Sister Liu, do you call this no requirements?"

Lin Wanqing spoke softly and comforted, "It's okay, Director Yu just said that it's best to have such a song, it doesn't matter if it's not."

Several people were discussing what song to choose, and Shen Kaiwen pushed the door in and said excitedly, "Teacher Xu, I'm on the Spring Festival Gala!"

"Uh, am I here at the wrong time?" Seeing Lin Wanqing in the room, Shen Kaiwen scratched his head.

"It's okay, sit down."

"Okay." Shen Kaiwen just sat down and the door opened again.

"Teacher Xu, I'm on the Spring Festival Gala!" Yu Zhou was even more excited than Shen Kaiwen, his face flushed with excitement.

Wow, three more people were added to the Spring Festival Gala list at once.

Xu Nuo said, "Let me first tell you what the director told you."

The two looked at each other, and Shen Kaiwen said, "The director asked me to sing "To Everyone Who Knows My Name."

"Solo?"

Shen Kaiwen shook his head, "No, it was a chorus, with others."

Sure enough, there is a threshold for solo singing. Even though Shen Kaiwen is now very popular, in the eyes of insiders, neither popularity nor appearance can meet the requirements for solo singing.

"What about you?" Xu Nuo turned to ask Yu Zhou.

When Yu Zhou saw that there were so many people in the office, all of whom were attending the Spring Festival Gala, his excitement subsided a lot, "The director asked me to sing "Someone Like Me"."

“It’s also a chorus.”

Kevin Shen immediately regained his balance, "Hahaha, I thought you were going to sing solo."

Xunuo comforted the two and said: "Keep up the good work, you will have the opportunity to sing solo in the future."

As he was talking, his cell phone rang. It was a call from the Dreamseekers band.

Everyone in the office guessed the reason, and sure enough, as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he said: "Teacher Nuoyan, we are going to the Spring Festival Gala!"

"Solo chorus?" Yu Zhou leaned over and asked.

The other party didn't seem to expect that there were other people, so he paused and said, "It's a chorus."

Yu Zhou also felt comfortable, and the atmosphere in the office became cheerful.

As soon as the phone was hung up, Phoenix Group called again.

Xu Nuo simply turned on the speakerphone.

"We're going to the Spring Festival Gala!"

If you are familiar with it, everyone is tired of hearing it today.

Shen Kaiwen and Yu Zhou asked at the same time: "Are you singing in a chorus or solo?"

Ren Jie was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Uh... we are a team."

Shen Kaiwen and Yu Zhou sighed at the same time, "What a pity."

Ren Jie: "???"

Xu Nuo took over the topic, "This is just a rehearsal. Whether it will be adopted in the end depends on the on-site performance. Don't let the chain slip."

"Okay, Teacher Nuoyan, don't worry, we will perform well."

After hanging up the phone, everyone stopped talking and stared at Xu Nuo's phone.

"What are you doing?" Xu Nuo wondered.

Everyone said in unison: "Wait for the next call."

Xu Nuo couldn't laugh or cry, "The Spring Festival Gala is not hosted by my family, so how could there be so many songs selected."

"It's hard to say, what if?"

"No, let's continue talking about the new song..."

Before he finished speaking, the phone rang again.

Everyone looked like you said you didn’t host the Spring Festival Gala.

Xu Nuo picked up the phone and looked at it. It was an unknown phone number.

"Hello."

"Hello, I'm Yu Tianlei." The person on the other side said straight to the point.

One sentence made everyone hold their breath. The director of the Spring Festival Gala has this magical power.

Xu Nuo was a little confused. He was not a singer, so why did the director want him?

"I'm looking for you this time for something. I have an idea for this year's Spring Festival Gala, which is to write a promotional song for the Spring Festival Gala. I want to write about the country's confidence and national confidence, the kind that will make all Chinese people excited when listening to it. "

Xu Nuo understands that this is going to be a big one. "Wishful" is actually a popular song, but it sounds a lot less powerful and not passionate enough.

"No problem, when do you want it?"

The person opposite didn't seem to expect Xu promised to agree so quickly. He paused and said, "Don't worry, it's the same day as the rehearsal. You can come over then."
