Chapter 193 Spring Festival Gala, write a sketch to test the water

Fang Xing swept the Orioles Awards and won almost all the heavyweight awards he could win.

Winning heavyweight awards at the three major Golden Melody Awards is a sign that a singer is promoted to the front line.

However, Fang Xing was not just promoted to the first line, but directly parachuted to the top line.

Before that.

Fang Xing has not won any music awards, and it has only been more than half a year since his debut.

In such a short time, he should be just a newcomer, not a top-tier singer at all.

The sign of being a first-tier singer is winning awards other than the Newcomer Award at the three major Golden Melody Awards.

As for top-tier singers, they need to sweep the three major Golden Melody Awards.

However, there is no strict standard for this kind of singer classification, only a rough standard.

Moreover, the statement that it swept the three major Golden Melody Awards is also very general.

Sometimes at a Golden Melody Awards ceremony, winning three awards is called a sweep of the Golden Melody Awards.

Now, Fang Xing made ten trophies in one night, setting a record that would be difficult for others to surpass.

This definitely reaches the level of a super first-line singer.

With some heavyweight awards coming his way, Fang Xing's public reputation has also increased by several levels.

If you don’t win an award, your song will be very popular.

There may be viewers who have never heard the song and subconsciously feel that this is an Internet celebrity singer who became famous with a song by chance and will not last long.

It's different now. In the history of the Oriole Awards, he is the singer who has won the most awards at one awards ceremony.

It has won many important awards such as Golden Song of the Year, Best Producer, and Best Arranger.

Awards represent industry recognition. In the eyes of viewers who don’t understand the industry or music, winning an award means being awesome.

…

Mother Lu was overjoyed when she learned that her daughter was going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

In China, although everyone says that the Spring Festival Gala is not as good as every year, every New Year's Eve, every family will hold the Spring Festival Gala.

Even if you don’t watch it, you still have to play the Spring Festival Gala. Listening to the sound will give you the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

The Spring Festival Gala has special significance to Chinese audiences.

It represents the beginning of a new year, and also carries people’s enthusiasm and expectations for life in the new year.

Mother Lu watches the Spring Festival Gala every year, but this year is different. Her daughter is going to the Spring Festival Gala.

When I think of this, the feeling is indescribable.

The day before the first concert of the Spring Festival Gala.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er were on the same flight to Kyoto to meet the director of the Spring Festival Gala.

After meeting the two people, Spring Festival Gala director Shen Jilin said directly: ""Skylark" is great. The leaders at the stage feel that such a good song cannot be played inside the wall and be fragrant outside the wall, so it must be included in the Spring Festival Gala.

"Fang Xing, I didn't expect that "Skylark" has anything to do with you.

"In this case, our director team's idea is to put "Skylark", "Song of the Seven Sons" and "Young China" together, and use a symphony orchestra to accompany them, so that the party can be scheduled more easily."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Then I have to stay up for half an hour on the Spring Festival evening?"

Three programs linked together.

Fang Xing first played the piano, then sang, and the host said some words in between. It took more than half an hour.

If this continues, Fang Xing will be like a nail stuck in the spring night.

Lu Xiang'er burst out laughing and quickly covered her mouth.

Fang Xing poked her arm with his finger and whispered: "What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at?"

Shen Jilin pretended not to notice the two people's little moves and continued: "Three shows in a row, are you okay?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied: "No problem, there are only three shows. If you let go, I can sing for you all night."

"I can't add any more programs to you. If I add the Spring Festival Gala, it will really be your concert." Shen Jilin waved his hand quickly.

Except for Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er.

Li Caiwei is also coming over for a joint rehearsal.

After chatting with the directing team, Fang Xing went to the dressing room to find Li Caiwei and asked about the situation: "How is your show?"

Li Caiwei replied uncertainly: ""Clouds of Hometown" was selected as an outstanding song to celebrate the founding of the People's Republic of China a few days ago, so the director team wanted me to change the song to "Clouds of Hometown"."

"Clouds of Hometown" was indeed selected as an outstanding song for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 2019.

It is very normal for the Spring Festival Gala to change songs among the five concerts.

"Clouds of Hometown" is indeed suitable to be sung on the Spring Festival Gala.

The Spring Festival is originally a day for Chinese families to reunite.

However, it is inevitable that there will be tourists who are away from home and cannot go home to celebrate the New Year.

Some are to build the motherland, and some are studying abroad.

This song is sung to these wanderers abroad, and also expresses the motherland’s longing for them.

"'Clouds of Hometown' is also very good, it depends on your wishes and that of the director team," Fang Xing said.

"The director team said that the Spring Festival Gala lacks such a song about missing my hometown. I can sing anything, and I also like "Clouds of Hometown"."

Li Caiwei has worked hard for so many years and is now more pragmatic. What she sings is not important, but being able to attend the Spring Festival Gala is important.

So, naturally, we will do whatever the Spring Festival Gala director team says.

…

After chatting with Li Caiwei, Fang Xing went to the studio to watch the rehearsals of other programs.

What is being rehearsed is a skit.

Several actors from the National Theater and Military Arts are rehearsing a skit called "Parents' Story".

Shen Jilin and the directing team were watching the team's rehearsal on site. After watching it, they discussed the sketch with several military actors.

The competition for sketches in the Spring Festival Gala every year is the most fierce.

There may be four or five sketches competing for the Spring Festival Gala.

If you are lucky, the skits that are not selected in the end may be included in the Lantern Festival Gala, or they may be picked up by other local stations’ Spring Festival Galas.

However, the Spring Festival Gala on the local stage and the Spring Festival Gala on the central stage are completely different concepts.

Because only CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala can be broadcast live on New Year’s Eve.

Moreover, all local stations must broadcast the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

There is only one party in the whole of China that is so arrogant.

So the skit selected for the Spring Festival Gala was very impressive.

Each sketch team worked on the details and changed the script, and the competition was very fierce.

However, only this kind of roll can produce good works.

After all, language programs are different from songs.

Songs can be sung repeatedly, but the same skit cannot be performed in the Spring Festival Gala twice.

…

After the rehearsal of the skit "Parents' Story" is completed.

Shen Jilin stood up and saw Fang Xing coming in, and said, "Come on, come on, let me introduce you to Fang Xing."

The actors in the sketch team of "Parents' Story" are basically from the National Theater Theater or have military backgrounds, and their acting skills are very good.

"This is Yan Lan, an actor from the Air Force Television Art Center." Shen Jilin began to introduce the actors in the sketch team.

"Hello, Teacher Yan." Fang Xing stepped forward and shook hands with Yan Lan.

These are military actors, so they must be respectful and polite.

"Hello……"

Yan Lan has a relatively mature appearance, with a slightly fleshy face, and is very beautiful. Unlike some female celebrities nowadays, who are as thin as a skeleton.

She looked at Fang Xing for a few times and said with a hearty smile: "I've heard your song, it's great."

"Thank you. I have also watched Mr. Yan's sitcom "Health Center" and I like it very much."

As Fang Xing spoke, he also imitated the role of a medical insurance salesman in "Health Center" and performed the classic line: "The big thing is not good, Director Liu's illness is cured."

Yan Lan was overjoyed when she heard it, and giggled: "It's quite similar to what I learned."

Usually, in the entertainment industry, when you meet for the first time and say you like the other person's work, it is probably a polite comment, but in fact you may not have seen it.
