I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 168 If you add one, you have to delete one program! (23)

Shen Liang's mother likes Mao Buyi very much...

She went to see "Never Gone", but was not impressed by the plot of the movie. However, she liked the promotional song "Never Gone" sung by Mao Buyi very much.

Then Shen Liang suggested that Mao Buyi stay at his house for a day...

Mao Buyi had nothing to do for the time being, so he agreed.

"I want to buy something."

"Buy something? Buy what?"

"It's my first time visiting your house, so I must bring something. Otherwise, it would be too rude!"

"...My family has everything..." After thinking for a while, Shen Liang said, "Let's buy some fruit. My mother likes to eat jackfruit."

"…Just some jackfruit? And some milk?"

Shen Liang shook his head: "My family has ordered milk, but the milk we bought doesn't taste good..."

"Then buy some wine?"

“…Who are you giving it to? Stop making such a fuss and just buy some fruit!”

Under Shen Liang's persuasion, Mao Buyi picked a whole jackfruit...

It was already three in the morning when I got home, and I didn’t wake up my parents…

He was directly arranged in the guest room. Mao Buyi remembered something: "You are going to rehearse at CCTV tomorrow... No, today, right?"

"Come with me, I'll introduce you to them..."

"also."

Shen Liang reminded: "It's impossible to cut in line. Last time during the rehearsal, I wanted to add a speech, but was rejected!"

"...I never thought I could be on the Spring Festival Gala...Cut in, what do you want to squeeze in?"

"I was singing 'Wanjiang', and I wanted to add a speech at the beginning... about one and a half minutes. The person in charge liked my format very much, but the director thought about it and decided to remove it... The time for each song is fixed, accurate to the second. 'Wanjiang' is 3 minutes and 54 seconds. If I add one and a half minutes, I have to cut one and a half minutes from other programs..."

There was a speech before "Wanjiang":
The vast mountains and rivers are full of beautiful scenery, and the sun, moon and stars are shining brightly;
As the dusk falls, the wind blows by, and the crops are plentiful, the fish are fat and the harvests are plentiful!
A hundred years ago, a generation of young people were full of confidence and made the ambition to "save the people with one thought when the land is full of grief and blood", practiced "studying for the rise of China", and vowed to "clean up the beautiful mountains and rivers"... With love for their country and their ambitions, they moved forward and turned all the humiliations of modern times into dust and blew them away in the wind.

Today, we walk towards the future with our youth, crossing the stars and the sea, and finally look forward to the day when the ideal of all the people becoming masters of the country comes true. Today, we should grow together with the country, live in harmony with the world, and may our country live forever!

This is certainly a good quote...

But the program length is difficult to control, because the length of each program of the Spring Festival Gala is fixed. If you add more time, it means you have to find it back from other programs...

……

“The novel “Xiaochou” is well written!”

"He is very talented. He is currently working on new albums. Both "One Meat and One Vegetable" and "Northeastern Folk Songs" are very good!"

Backstage at the rehearsal, Shen Liang found Wu Mimi and recommended Mao Buyi to her - Wu Mimi was the music director of the Spring Festival Gala.

"One meat and one vegetable?"

"Well, Xiao Wang, show the demo to Mr. Wu!"

"One Meat and One Vegetable" is a good song. It uses plain language and simple melody to sing out a child's deepest longing for his mother.

One meat and one vegetable, simple meals, a simple dining table, the busy figure of the mother in the kitchen and the worried expression on her face when her child is going away, these constitute the most touching moments.

In terms of composition, the "Lullaby" interspersed in the song is adapted from a familiar melody, which can quickly trigger all the wanderers who work hard outside to miss their hometown and mother...

Wu Mimi listened to it once and liked it very much...

"Why didn't you introduce him to me earlier!"

"He just wrote it recently..." Shen Liang asked in a low voice, "Can it be performed at the Lantern Festival Gala?"

"...It should be no problem," Wu Mimi nodded, and then asked Shen Liang: "Where is your work?"

It's about the Lantern Festival Gala...

That’s right, Shen Liang wants to go too!
Shen Liang: "I composed a piece called 'Wujiapo'..."

"'Wujia Po'? Did you write it?"

"No, I changed the lyrics a bit, and the tune was based on "Ikitai no"... I'll sing a part..."

'Ah~ My wife, Wang Baochuan, I pity you staying in the cold kiln, I pity you being all alone...'

"Stop!" Wu Mimi frowned: "Is this a duet version?"

"Yes, so, I need a female singer to sing with me!" "...I will find one for you?"

Shen Liang pondered for a moment, then said: "Actually, I know a few female roles that are good..."

"Oh? Who?"

"Li Qin and Zeng Li both studied drama!"

"Do you need my help in inviting you?"

"I can invite myself..."

Wu Mimi nodded, then asked: "Is the tune a reference or a borrowing?"

Shen Liang touched his ear, a little embarrassed: "... borrowing... but don't worry, I have almost changed the melody..."

After the original space-time "Wujiapo" became popular, it was soon revealed to have plagiarized Hatsune Miku's "イキたいの"...

The key is that "イキたいの" is Hatsune Miku's self-expression. This song is the heart and soul of the creator and is dedicated to all the audiences and creators.

For those who like Hatsune Miku, this song has a different meaning!

The chorus of "ねぇ、お愿いだから歌い続けさせて"" can be translated as "Hey, please, let me continue singing!" '

The most embarrassing thing is that the song was originally named "Open Wujiapo in the Way of Hatsune Miku" but later became popular and was changed to original...

However, after "Wujia Po 2021" became popular, many musicians re-arranged the music and created songs such as "Wujia Po 2022" and "Wujia Po 2023", breaking away from the melody of "イキたいの", but the label of plagiarism was attached to "Wujia Po".

Wu Mimi nodded and warned: "It's better to contact them and add their names to the arrangement..."

"Ok, I know!"

"That speech of yours..."

"Didn't it delete it?"

"There are new arrangements," Wu Mimi continued, "I heard from the director that we are going to have the host give a speech, and then you guys continue singing!"

The speech section retains…

Although Shen Liang was very happy, he was still a little worried: "...Will it affect other programs?"

"It's okay, the director asked the crosstalk at the beginning to be told faster..."

"Crosstalk? The crosstalk by Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue?"

"Um…"

Shen Liang… didn’t know what to say, even though the crosstalk at the Spring Festival Gala was meaningless…

But after all, it's the only one, so I can delete it if I want to...

……

Getting on the bus to go home, Mao Buyi asked about the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal experience...

"What kind of experience can I have? I'll just go home after singing..."

"There are so many wrists, don't you know them?"

Shen Liang was speechless: "...Everyone is here to participate in the show, who has time to meet you?"

"Wouldn't it be boring, just staying in the background?"

"It's ok, I'll just play with my phone..."

"You have a lounge?"

"There was an arrangement, but I didn't want it!"

Mao Buyi was surprised: "Ah? Didn't they say there was no rest room for the Spring Festival Gala? The big names are waiting backstage..."

"What era is this..." Shen Liang said speechlessly, "There are many rooms in the CCTV building, including lounges, dressing rooms, and makeup rooms. They are well prepared..."

In the past, the conditions were simple, and behind the bright and colorful performance costumes was actually a large open-air stage.

Not to mention the lounge, there isn’t even air conditioning on site!

However, times are changing…

Of course, don’t even think about the exclusive ones, just queue up to use them!
Most singers only sing one song and then go home, and many of them don’t use the rest room.

Shen Liang doesn't need to...
