Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 135, Eve

February 2th, 8 days left until New Year’s Eve.

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala ushered in its final rehearsal.

All actors were present.

"Isn't that Ni Ping?"

"It looks like it's back to the Spring Festival Gala."

……

"Zhou Xun, Lu Yi?"

"There are quite a lot of performers in this year's Spring Festival Gala."

……

"Look, it's Brother Lang!"

"Finally you are here!"

……

Reporters from all major news and entertainment media have been waiting outside the CCTV building since early morning, determined to get first-hand information on celebrities and programs. When a celebrity arrives, everyone swarms over to surround him.

In these interviews, we can discover the different states of different stars, and even from the details of their reactions to reporters, we can see each person's cultivation and emotional intelligence.

When the reporters saw Lu Yiche arrive, they were very excited. After all, he was the first of the four young actors to appear on the Spring Festival Gala, so he was worth looking forward to.

But after he got off the car, no matter how the reporters shouted, he didn't even look at them, let alone say hello. It was as if he didn't hear the reporters shouting and he didn't even turn his head.

The reporter's voice was hoarse from shouting Lu Yi's name, then "Xiao Tong" and then "Bao Zheng", and finally got a wave from Lu Yi.

Some people may think that these media stakeouts are no different from paparazzi, and celebrities don’t need to be polite to reporters.

But in fact, as long as the reporters recognize who it is, they will shout and say hello. Most celebrities will look back when they hear someone calling their names, and some will even politely say hello when they find out it is a reporter.

After all, who knows how they will accuse you in their reports if you ignore them.

Shen Lang did not take the aloof approach in this regard. As long as the media were not unscrupulous and would ask him about scandals, he would respond with a sentence or two, or just smile and wave.

Reporter from Yanjing Morning News: "Brother Lang, this is your first time participating in the Spring Festival Gala. How do you feel?"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Very happy."

"Entertainment Early Knowledge" reporter: "Can you tell us a little bit about your show?"

Shen Lang asked back: "What program do you think I can participate in?"

Sina Entertainment reporter: "Is it singing?"

Shen Lang said seriously: "It's not impossible to perform skits, right?"

No matter how the reporter asked the questions, Shen Lang's answers were flawless.

In fact, many people have made a rough guess.

The two major happy events this year are Yanjing's successful bid for the Olympic Games and the Chinese national football team's entry into the World Cup, so the Spring Festival Gala must have programs related to them.

Shen Lang wrote the Olympic bid theme song and the national football team's departure song, making him the most suitable candidate.

In other words, either sing "Together Towards the Future" or sing "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart".

The Spring Festival Gala program team also considered this.

I chose the former because I think Yanjing hosting the Olympics has a greater influence than the Chinese national football team playing in the World Cup.

There's nothing wrong with that. Everyone knows about the Olympics, but there are always some people who are not interested in the World Cup.

If Shen Lang were allowed to choose, he would choose "Chasing Dreams".

The reason is very simple.

This was the only time that the Chinese national football team entered the World Cup, at least before he traveled through time.

Of course, there is only one Olympics.

However, there are still six years before the Olympics, which means there are six Spring Festival Galas to present related programs.

The World Cup starts in May, which means that the Chinese national football team will only have this Spring Festival Gala.

But the director has the final say in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. You have no choice in what program to perform. Shen Lang went backstage.

It’s a different feeling every time I come.

My previous mentality of going to the Spring Festival Gala was just to show my face, but after a few rehearsals, I found it quite interesting.

"You come quite late today." Seeing him coming, Zhou Xun went straight to him.

"I chatted with reporters at the door for a while." Shen Lang explained casually.

"Is this your performance costume and look?" Zhou Xun asked, looking at his outfit.

"Give me your comments." Shen Lang nodded.

He has always had a side-back hairstyle since he traveled through time, and has not chosen the slightly longer "Shamatte" hairstyle that is popular currently.

As for the performance attire, she did not wear the same old suit as recommended by the program team, nor did she go for something weird and alternative. Instead, she matched a white Tang suit + a dark green Tang shirt + white shoes.

The single style of Tang suit itself is difficult for ordinary people to control.

But the one worn by Shen Lang, the white color can brighten the look, and the dark green Tang lining with a high collar and rounded corners highlights the overall layered fashion effect. Coupled with his unique temperament and imposing style, this ordinary Tang suit has become a popular fashion with a strong sense of fashion.

"So handsome." Zhou Xun didn't want to take his eyes away from him.

As for her performance costumes and styling.

Shen Lang was unable to make any comment. All he wanted to or could say was "As long as you like it."

Zhou Xun sang the song "This Year Is So Wonderful" with Lu Yi, Butterfly Group, and Pudding Guoguo Group.

Lu Yi is wearing a suit embellished with large flowers and a flowing medium-length hairstyle.

Zhou Xun's hair is short and curly, the same hairstyle as middle-aged women. She looks decades older. The big gold chain around her neck is also very strange.

In comparison, Stefanie Sun's performance costumes and styling are much more normal.

She wore a pink sweater on her upper body. The fluffy fabric made her look very gentle and cute. She wore loose white straight pants on her lower body. They were neat and tidy and not at all cumbersome for a petite girl.

This hairstyle is one of her favorites. Her hair is tied up at the back, which adds a touch of personality and fashion.

"You look so handsome today. It suits your temperament very well." When Sun Yanzi saw Shen Lang's performance clothes and style, her eyes lit up. He looked very manly and not effeminate at all.

"You look good today, too, cute and fashionable." Shen Lang also started the business mutual praise mode.

Being praised by him, Sun Yanzi was secretly delighted.

Shen Lang asked again: "Why didn't you come to the previous rehearsals? Are you very busy recently?"

Speaking of this, Sun Yanzi sighed, "It's not that I'm busy, it's that I almost didn't make it to Yanjing."

Shen Lang was surprised and asked, "Did the program team change their mind?"

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala rehearsal is different from ordinary rehearsals. It is a formal rehearsal that is completely based on the situation on the night of the Spring Festival Gala, with all departments and all programs performing on stage together.

The rehearsal scene is exactly the same as the scene on the night of the Spring Festival Gala, and the audience numbers and reactions are also within the overall planning of the Spring Festival Gala director team.

The programs that have entered the rehearsal stage have generally been confirmed to be performed on the Spring Festival Gala, and the order of the programs has also been roughly determined.

But at the same time, there are cases every year where programs are cancelled after entering the rehearsal stage.

When encountering this kind of situation, it is usually because the length of the Spring Festival Gala cannot be adjusted and the program list must be shortened, or the performers themselves have recently been involved in negative news, and the Spring Festival Gala program team has no choice but to temporarily change the program list.

Sun Yanzi shook her head and explained, "I sang "Connecting to the World" with Jie Xiaodong. At first, I was arranged to perform at the Pengcheng branch venue. He was at the main venue in Yanjing. After two rehearsals, I was swapped with him."

Shen Lang said, "Oh!" "It can be done this way."

This year's Spring Festival Gala was held in three venues: the main venue in Yanjing, and sub-venues in Pengcheng and Shanghai.

The implementation of the main and sub-venue broadcast format is a major innovation of the Spring Festival Gala.

For chorus songs, a large screen was used to play the scene from another venue, and on TV, the scene of whoever was singing would be cut to the next.

Sun Yanzi was originally very happy thinking that it was her first time to perform on CCTV Spring Festival Gala with Shen Lang.

As a result, I was assigned to a branch venue, and I felt a little disappointed.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and her dream came true.
