1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 307 It seems you have filmed two large-scale MVs!
Milan: "You still remember to come back? Do you know how I got through all these days? I'll fight you~"

"...Xiao Xu! Lily! Help! Save me~~~"

On the summer of the 26th, they returned to Yanjing and should have started the post-production of the documentary immediately.

However, Xia Tian and Deng Jie still have other tasks to complete - recording the Red Mansion Cultural Evening!
In addition, Hong Kong ATV Radio also sent people to cooperate with CCTV to record the program, and both sides will broadcast it together.

This time ATV also sent several staff members, such as the very famous Li Zhi!
The recording location is the newly built Central Color Television Center.

The program's director is Wang Fulin. Director Wang said: "You two are finally back! I've been waiting for you for several months!"

Xia Tian: "I was in a hurry too. I almost kicked the train driver off and drove myself~"

Deng Jie: "Yes! I can testify, because the car was driving slowly, Xia Tian almost drove it by himself!"

Wang Fuli: "You are also starting to change your ways!"

Once the cheerful version of Qingwen's song is played, the atmosphere is just right~
At this party, Xiaoxu and her friends dressed up in both ancient costumes and modern fashions.

At the beginning, there was a long line of people waiting at the door, including Lady Jia and Lady Wang, all dressed in ancient costumes from the play, standing at the door to greet the guests, shaking hands and so on... Among the guests there were some yellow-haired foreigners.

Xiaoxu, Zhangli, Dongfang and the others sat at a round table. Each of them was decorated in the Red Mansion, with the round table and red artificial leather stainless steel folding chairs, giving a feeling of time travel.

There were also drinks from the "sponsor" on the table~
Deng Jie came close to Grandmother Jia and asked, "The party is about to begin, where is Baoyu?"

Then several people shouted: "Baoyu? Baoyu?!"

Dressed in a red gem, Li Zhi, disguised as a man, ran out from the backstage: "I'm here~"

Xiao Xu saw Xia Tian laughing, so he asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Xia Tian: "I think this fake Baoyu speaks in a bit of a coquettish way~"

The format of this evening party is similar to the original Spring Festival Gala, with a stage in the front and thirty or forty large round tables covered with white tablecloths below, where actors and guests sit around the round tables. They go on stage when needed.

The first program was "Pass the Flower" performed by her and Deng Jie.

Then there was the dance "The Land of Illusion" by students from the Shadow Dance High School, and then there was the skit by Ouyang, Lizhi, Xiaoxu, and Deng Jie...

Oh, by the way, there is also a crosstalk called "Riddles of Names of People in the Dream of the Red Chamber", performed by Niu Qun and Li Lishan.

Niu Qun graduated from the Literature Department of the Central Academy of Drama. His career has just begun. He has not met Feng Gong yet, nor has he ever appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

However, this "Riddles of the Names of People in the Dream of the Red Chamber" was written by him personally and is very interesting.

During the evening party, it was also shown what the young ladies in the Grand View Garden would look like in modern times.

As a result, the program team arranged for Xiaoxu and Zhang Li to take the college entrance examination - this is completely different from the original time and space!

But it is very realistic~
There were a few people in the Red Mansion crew who took the college entrance examination, but they were the only two who took the non-arts university entrance examination.

There are also foreigners dressed up as characters from the Red Mansion in the back, which makes Xia Tian feel like a foreigner wearing a Qing Dynasty princess costume! Very weird!
During the party, Xia Tian sang a song called "Red Bean Song", played the guqin and sang a song called "Short Song" (an interlude of "The Longest Day in Chang'an").

The announcement at the time: "Lyrics: Li Bai, music: Xia Tian, ​​singing: Xia Tian..."

Everyone had a different feeling, as if they were getting goose bumps!

Have you started cooperating with "Li Bai"?
In the summer, he sang a song called "Empty Stage Play" with all the young actors from "The Dream of Red Mansions" and performed a Peking Opera excerpt with Yuan Mei.

Finally, Chen Li led the singing of "Ode to the Dream of the Red Chamber" with all the actors of "Red Chamber" as the chorus.

The final product of the program is about two hours long, but it took more than three hours to record.

During this period, Li Zhi had been secretly observing Xia Tian, ​​mainly observing his actions.

She found that almost everyone at the scene, whether they were the staff and leaders of the station, the invited guests, or even the blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners, were happy to chat with Xia Tian!
Even those leaders of the station who seemed very serious and meticulous when speaking in front of everyone a few days ago, were smiling when talking to Xia Tian!
This is definitely not a status that a singer or actor can have!

In order to record this program, she has been in Yanjing for more than a week, and has formed a preliminary feeling about Xia Tian’s influence in Yanjing - it’s a bit excessive!
This program was said to have been confirmed in September, but because I was out of town in the summer and had no time to come back, it had to be delayed until now to start recording!
Moreover, newspapers in Yanjing often have headlines about Xia Tian. It's as if he's shooting a documentary in another place, and people in Beijing are still paying attention to it. It's outrageous, too outrageous!

The situation of star chasing in Hong Kong is already outrageous. Now there is a "Tan and Zhang feud" going on there. Fans of both sides are fighting and smashing cars on the streets, causing quite a sensation.

Although Yanjing was not so impulsive, Li Zhi felt that he was the focus of everyone's attention!

And we are used to it, just like brushing our teeth and eating breakfast in the morning!
Besides, there are too many superstars in Hong Kong. Even if there are some outstanding ones among them, most of the attention should not be focused on one person, right?
All the mountains look small from a glance!
What kind of treatment is this?!
This kind of attention and love from the public to the government, from individuals to groups, is exciting just to think about!
At least Li Zhi is excited!
This man is four years younger than me.
But it gives people a very mature and stable feeling, and it is also funny and lively...

He is also very talented. He wrote and sang so many of his songs himself!

Today's song "Short Song" which I have never heard of before is also extremely amazing!

Li Zhi has basically collected all the tapes from summer during this period, and every song surprises her!

And his disco dance tape was very popular in East Asia and Southeast Asia!
Unfortunately, after the program was recorded, Li Zhi didn’t get to say a few words to Xia Tian.

The main reason was that there were too many people talking to him, and after the recording of the show, a group of actors from the Red Mansions crew left together, so he had no reason to strike up a conversation with them.

What a waste of opportunity!
The next day, I finally got his landline number, but when I called, a woman answered. I was so disappointed.
……

After recording the Red Mansion Gala, Xia Tian started the post-production work of two documentaries.

Editing, dubbing, theme song and so on.

Recording interludes in the studio in the summer.

In the three episodes about Northeast China, the first episode in Shencheng inserts "Northeast Folk Songs", the second episode in the main plot inserts "Home in the Northeast", and the third episode, when the train leaves Shanhaiguan, inserts a song "Destiny" by Second-Hand Rose!
What? The boss is not used to it? He doesn't like rock music?

It’s okay, just listen more and you’ll get used to it!

How characteristic of Northeast China? You can understand the mental state of Northeast China people by just listening to it~
Xia Tian also had something to say: "Hong Kong ATV also paid for this documentary. When it is broadcast in Hong Kong, it must include some fresh elements that they like!"

Leader: "Fresh elements? Will they like this? I have never been to Hong Kong, don't lie to me!"

“They must like what I sing!”

I don't care whether he likes it or not, it doesn't stop me from using his tiger skin as a banner~
Xia Tian is becoming more and more adept at using foreigners to govern officials.

In the three episodes about Chang'an, Xia inserted a Chang'an dialect version of "Meeting" and a song of "Chang'an People's Song". When the protagonist went to see the Terracotta Warriors, a symphony "Qin Army Song" was inserted.

In the three episodes of Chengdu, Xia Tian planned to insert a song "Wo Long Yin" when appearing in Wuhou Temple, a song "Chuan Jiang Hao Zi" when passing Dujiangyan by boat, and finally a song "Chengdu" during the bumpy shot following Deng Jie's back chasing the train.

The last Yangcheng and Pengcheng has a very "positive" symphony "Song of Yangcheng (Guangzhou)", a Cantonese song "A Zhen fell in love with A Qiang", and a Cantonese folk song "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon".

In addition, some background music for "A Bite of China" needs to be recorded.

"Wulin" is much simpler, there is not even any dubbing, all the sound is recorded on the spot.

Although the effect is a bit rough, that kind of rough sense of reality is what we want.

The audience feels like the documentary is completely realistic and they are watching it live!

The theme songs of "Wulin" are "Chinese Kung Fu" and the newly written "Chinese Martial Spirit"!
"Light fur, long sword, fierce horse, wild song
Loyalty and courage

What a come-and-go traveler
Dare to be on equal footing with the emperor..."

In order to achieve the best effect, Xia Tian also gathered a group of fellow disciples and many people from the Yanjing martial arts circle to shoot a simple MV near a wild Great Wall!

We are working on post-production all day long. In the summer, as soon as the sun rises, we rush to the CCTV and don’t go home until the stars come out!
Fortunately, my work efficiency is amazing and I have a lot of autonomy. I don’t have to ask for instructions here or there. I don’t know how many young colleagues are envious of me.

The post-production work didn’t take too long. When it was almost done, we invited the leaders of the station to come and take a look. The station director was here!

The result is good, the filming is good, but why is there a song in every episode? Isn’t it a bit extravagant?!
Ah, you wrote them all, it’s free! Then you can do whatever you want!
When they saw the opening credits of “Wulin”, where a group of warriors in ancient costumes were fighting each other on the Great Wall, some leaders realized – it turns out you shot two large-scale MVs!
The first MV in the modern sense was “created” by Michael Jackson in 82!
There is no such thing in China yet. After all, we have not yet entered the era of pop songs, let alone MVs. Covers are the mainstream.

As a result, they made such a big deal right out of the gate in the summer—directly using CCTV’s documentary as a MV?!
However, the quality of this documentary is really good!
