Chapter 341 Spring Festival Gala
Chapter 341 Spring Festival Gala
After so many rehearsals, Fan Wumian's patience had long been worn out.
That night.
When the Spring Festival Gala officially began, he stayed backstage to prepare, just wanting to finish singing as soon as possible and try to stay out of the fun in the future.
said with no exaggeration.
In recent months, all the time spent on rehearsal and preparation is enough to shoot a movie with simpler plot and scenes.
For example, "The Demon Cult Leader" was filmed in a total of one week, "All's Well, Ends Well" starring Hong Kong's brother was filmed in only 13 days, and "The Banquet" took only 4 days.
On the choir side of Fan Wumian's show, some minor accidents occurred during the waiting period.
As she was about to go on stage, a girl from the Central Conservatory of Music was so nervous that she felt dizzy and nauseous and could only squat against the wall to rest.
Fortunately, the assistant who was following the group was very experienced and quickly took out a plastic bag and let her breathe slowly.
It doesn't matter if there is one more or one less person in the choir.
When the assistant mentioned that if she really couldn't do it, she shouldn't go on stage, the female student from the Central Conservatory of Music, who had been preparing for a long time, quickly stood up and said that she could do it.
There may only be one chance in a lifetime, which is not only related to honor but also to future prospects.
Even if you become a music teacher in an elementary or middle school, or teach vocal and musical instruments in a training class in the future, if you write "participated in the Spring Festival Gala" and other experiences in your resume, your chances of being admitted will be much higher than others.
Someone else tested the microphone and found that the light was not on, so he quickly found a spare one to replace it.
CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala is usually broadcast live, but they will still shoot backup tapes in advance just in case.
While others were so nervous that their heartbeats quickened and their palms were sweating, Fan Wumian felt relaxed instead. He sat on a chair and texted Zuo Ziyan. They were also discussing where to meet tomorrow and how to go on a two or three-day date trip.
Hong Kong passports allow visa-free entry to most countries and regions in the world, saving you the trouble of applying for a visa in advance. You can just decide on your destination and buy the plane ticket.
Jiang Shixi brought a bottle of water and said to Fan Wumian:
"Have a few sips to moisten your throat? Boss, your show is ranked 24th, too far back. We have to wait for a while. However, the previous show is Mr. Benshan's skit, which should be able to retain a lot of viewers, and the ratings will definitely not be bad."
Fan Wumian crossed his legs and explained:
"The chief director talked to me about it. It seems that he wanted to retain the audience. If the good programs were put in the front, others would turn off the TV and go to sleep after watching them, and would not watch the rest of the programs. Putting me in the 24th place shows that the director team values me."
Jiang Shixi smiled and said:
"Of course, countless fans are waiting to hear the new song, but the style of this song is different from the previous ones. I really like it after listening to it. I wonder what they will think."
With the title of "Little Prince of Love Songs", fans like to listen to him sing love songs. The 54 special edition of "Dislocation in Time and Space" is somewhat different from his previous songs, which makes Jiang Shixi worry that it will not be so popular.
Fan Wumian understood what he meant and took a few sips of mineral water to moisten his throat:
"We'll know after the show is over. Anyway, there's no chance to change it. Worrying about it will only cause trouble. Next time I record an album, I'll use the same song and write another version of the lyrics and include it in the new album. This will save a lot of trouble."
At an open-air birthday party a few months ago, he sang "Exaggerated" and "Naked", which have not yet been included in his personal album.
Add to that the two versions of "Misplaced Time and Space" and the original version of "Half Life of Snow", it's equivalent to half an album being released, and adding a few more songs can make more money.
The physical album industry is on the decline, and in the mobile phone ringtone business, telecom operators are still eyeing Fan Wumian's huge dividends.
The situation in each industry is different. The later a movie is released, the better. However, an album should be released earlier, otherwise the revenue generated will gradually decline.
Jiang Shixi continued:
"This year's Spring Festival Gala has added a new segment called 'Internet Interaction'. After the show, all netizens will be asked to vote to select the most popular programs. If the program on stage overshadows them, the media will definitely stir up trouble again, which will be embarrassing."
Fan Wumian laughed and said:
"It doesn't matter. There's no huge prize money for winning first place."
on the stage.
We have just reached the 12th program. The 11th one before it was the phenomenal folk song "Three Auspicious Treasures".
The 12th program is also singing.
Lin Junzhe, Pang Long, Mushui Nianhua and the two sisters from the Hong Kong-based Twinns group sang "A Thousand Years Later", "You Are My Rose", "Perfect World" and "Apprentice God of Love" respectively.
The name of the program is "2005 Popular Style", and it feels pretty good to see these singers perform a medley.
This also shows the difference in status.
Fan Wumian has his own show, and they divided up a show, with many people performing on stage at the same time.
During the rehearsal, he was at the main venue, while the Twins and Lin Junzhe were elsewhere. They didn't meet until today and greeted each other politely in the evening.
There is not much to say about Lin Junzhe. He met the rising Fan Wumian during his career rise.
Similar to Jay Chou, he now lives in the shadow of Fan Wumian and cannot become the new generation king who dominates the Chinese music scene.
The Twinns group, which also comes from Hong Kong, has only two members. They follow the "fresh and sweet girl group" route. Their looks and figures are not as good as those of South Korean girl groups, but their personalities are more likable.
After he finished singing a medley on stage, the two of them even came over and gave him a fist pump to cheer him on.
Ah Sa spoke slowly, as if she was particularly slow to react, but with a bright smile on her face, she said:
"I was so nervous just now that I almost forgot the lyrics. We are finally done. I look forward to seeing you on stage later. I have heard that your new song is very nice." A Jiao also said with a smile:
"Yeah, I was super nervous too. If we sang the wrong lyrics, our boss would scold us both when we got back."
Turning her head to look at Ah Jiao, Ah Sa said slowly:
"You are the one who tends to sing the wrong lyrics. It has nothing to do with me. I won't get scolded along with you."
"Wow, you are disloyal!"
A Jiao played with her for a while, then blinked and looked at Fan Wumian and asked:
"Tomorrow is the Spring Festival, and we should have a reunion dinner tonight. We all came from Hong Kong City, so it's fate that we met. How about you go with us for a midnight snack after this?"
Twinns was a popular group, and A Jiao had not yet been negatively influenced by a non-professional photography master. Fan Wumian declined and said:
"Sorry, I've already made an appointment with a friend. New Year, new beginnings. If I start gossiping with you guys on New Year's Day, your boss will come after me and fire me. Let's talk about it next time if there's a chance."
A Jiao only said:
"You are so powerful now, but you didn't go to Hollywood when you had the chance. Our boss is trying to curry favor with you, so why would he kill you?"
Ah Sa pulled Ah Jiao and said:
"Forget it, let's eat when we get back to Hong Kong. This event will last until very late, and I will fall asleep on the way to have a midnight snack."
When he saw Ah Sa in person, Fan Wumian suddenly remembered something.
I vaguely remember that it was around this time that Ah Sa had started a secret relationship with Prince Kei and they even went to the United States to register their marriage.
It was not until four years later when the two divorced that the news of their marriage was revealed.
This made Fan Wumian admire him very much, and he really wanted to know how they managed to do it with so many paparazzi in Hong Kong.
A Jiao, 25 years old this year, likes handsome guys and is obviously particularly interested in Fan Wumian. She wanted to seize the opportunity to chat more, but was pulled away by Asa.
The two of them spoke in Cantonese, which had a built-in encryption effect.
On the way back to the lounge, Ah Sa teased Ah Jiao for wanting to have sex with young girls, and advised her not to cause trouble.
Gillian was busy making excuses, explaining that she was just envious of Fan Wumian's crazy money-making and wanted to get an audition opportunity from him.
The Twinns group earned 15 to million Hong Kong dollars last year. Including additional bonuses, the money they got was less than % of the total income, and they were tied down by the extremely long contract.
Although she seems to be doing well on the surface, she has actually become a cash cow for the company, and her income is not as good as that of Zhuang Muxi, who is crazily sought after by advertisers.
Some time ago.
Regarding Huang Shengyi's job-hopping, the outside world accused her of turning her back on her parents. Many artists in Hong Kong took the opportunity to anonymously accuse the major companies of taking too much commission, and they easily forgave her and could understand her behavior.
Especially after the news spread that Huang Shengyi could get a 35% share of the revenue from Bandit King Media, many Hong Kong artists dreamed of switching to work under Fan Wumian.
In the audience of the Spring Festival Gala.
Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Huang Shengyi and others, as well as Huang Bo, Xiao Yang, Yao Xingtong, Sha Yi and others, were sitting in the same row.
The cameraman was informed in advance and passed in front of them several times to take advantage of the traffic from the Spring Festival Gala to increase his exposure.
Zhuang Muxi got three admission tickets this time and came to Yanjing with her parents. During the day, she also went to visit the Royal Courtyard which was under renovation.
She bought a small two-story house near the Financial Street. These days, she took her parents on trips during the day and rested at home at night. She never had the chance to meet Fan Wumian.
Time passed by minute by minute and the scene was very lively.
The stage effects of this year's Spring Festival Gala were impeccable. When Uncle Benshan came on stage and finished his opening remarks in his distinctive tone, he was immediately greeted with applause from the crowd.
Zhuang Muxi's father looked confused and asked his daughter, "Who is this old man? Is he famous in the mainland?"
"."
next to.
When Huang Bo heard this, he was speechless for a moment. It was hard to imagine that there were people who didn't know Uncle Benshan.
Considering that Zhuang Muxi and her parents came from Taiwan and moved to Hong Kong, it seems normal that they didn't know each other.
He lowered his voice and explained:
"He is indeed very famous. He has appeared in the Spring Festival Gala many times, specializing in skits. In recent years, he has also filmed TV series. I estimate that more than 95% of people in the country know him."
Zhuang Muxi's father looked at Huang Bo and said with a warm smile:
"I know you, a comedian, right? You and my daughter are in the same company, so I'll ask you to take good care of her in the future."
Huang Bo quickly waved his hand, thinking that Mr. Zhuang might have a chance to become Fan Wumian's father-in-law in the future, so he politely replied:
"She doesn't need our care. Miss Zhuang is the top girl in the company. With my looks, no one would believe me if I said I wasn't a comedian. When I was young, I wanted to be an idol and form a band with others, but later I found that I couldn't make a living from that."
Mr. Zhuang wanted to say something, but after holding it in for a few seconds, he really had no way to comfort her, so he could only reply vaguely:
"In the field of comedians, you have a face that God is chasing after and feeding you, which is also a special advantage."
The corner of his eye twitched, Zhuang Muxi gave Huang Bo an awkward smile and said:
"I'm sorry, Amian always praises your acting skills. I watched Crazy Stone, it's really good."
