Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Four: Literary and Art Stage Economic Singing
Zhang Chunmei, Qian Aiguo, Liu Xiaoli, Zhang Qian and other students were so excited that they burst into tears when they found out that their performances had been recognized by the director and that they would definitely be able to participate in the Lantern Festival Party.
There was no psychological pressure when everyone performed "Little Girl Under the Street Lamp", and the performance was more relaxed. Everyone sang and danced to the cheerful rhythm. This joyful atmosphere infected everyone present.
The formations are constantly changing, and the dance movements are uniform and rhythmic. It will not be out of date in future generations. It was certainly the latest trend in 1983.
The cadres and employees of the TV station are all knowledgeable about the goods, and they unanimously recognized that after the Lantern Festival Gala is broadcast, "Little Girl Under the Streetlight" is very likely to become the most popular pop song this year.
So what are you waiting for? The director instructed the best band, the best stage and sound to work with the experimental primary school team, and strive to be the best if you want to do it!
After three days of rehearsals, the leaders and director were even more satisfied. Because the performance team of Sanshui Experimental Primary School cooperated tacitly, and with the best acoustics in the country and a high-level band, the effect of the two songs was impeccable.
Then Huang Han, Shen Xiaorong, etc. had free time, and they only had to rehearse again on the 13th of the first lunar month. The last rehearsal would be recorded in its entirety, and it was also backed up to prevent accidents during the live broadcast.
In fact, the technology at that time was not capable of live broadcasting the entire event. In fact, more than half of CCTV’s August 3rd Spring Festival Gala was broadcast and recorded.
Huang Han and Shen Xiaorong, who had time, roped in Qian Guodong. County Magistrate Jiang went to the leader of the provincial government guest house and recommended himself.
Because when he came here, he went to the VIP building to investigate. There was a small stage in the restaurant of the VIP building, as well as a horizontal piano and speakers for playing music and holding singing and dancing performances.
Huang Han's plan is to take the team from the Experimental Primary School there to perform free performances. The purpose is to attract the attention of guests, and then promote Sanshui County and the products brought there.
The top leader of the guest house is named Jin. His level is very different from that of the director of the Sanshui County Guest House. He is one level higher than the director of County Chief Jiang.
Director Jin learned that Huang Han and Shen Xiaorong were the original singers of the two songs "Little Girl Under the Streetlight" and "Teacher, Walk Slower", and treated them better than he treated the two county magistrates.
He agreed on the spot to let Huang Han and his team try it out once. If it was welcomed by the guests, they could perform as many times as they wanted. If the guests objected, there would be no next time.
The stage in the restaurant of the Provincial Guest House, which can accommodate 200 to 300 people, is not large, and it is unrealistic for the entire team of the experimental primary school to attend.
Huang Han, Shen Xiaorong, and Huang Qian selected ten people including Zhang Chunmei, Cheng Wenge, Qian Aiguo, Liu Xiaoli, Zhang Qian, etc. The performance started at 6:30. At this time, there were already one or two hundred people in the restaurant, of which a small half
Foreign guests.
Huang Han arranged for Huang Qian, who is extremely talented at playing the piano, to play a song "To Alice" to warm up.
The effect was good, not because Xiaoqian played like a pianist, but because her age attracted many diners.
At the end of the song, more than half of the guests applauded politely in approval.
Director Jin, the secretary, the deputy director and several managers of the guest house were watching. If they found that the guests did not accept the performance, they would decisively stop it.
They were relieved when they saw that the little girl's piano music won applause and encouragement from most of the people at the beginning.
Next, Shen Xiaorong played the piano and sang "Yesterday Again". This song should be a household name in Europe and the United States and is suitable for all ages. Shen Xiaorong worked hard and her singing was not much worse than the original song.
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became bright. Almost everyone applauded enthusiastically, and the foreign guests applauded the warmest. They also gave a thumbs up and said: "Good!"
"Very good".
At this time, the vast majority of Chinese people worshiped foreigners and favored foreigners. When participating in foreign receptions, too many leaders had to hold meetings to publicly emphasize how to serve foreigners comfortably and not to lose the face of socialism. They gave people the impression that they were cheap and servile.
The provincial government guest house also treated the foreign devils favorably and treated them beyond national standards, and paid more attention to their reactions. When the foreign devils were "good", they became "very good". How could they stop the performance of Huang Han's team?
Shen Xiaorong is already over 1.65 meters tall, a little taller than Han Xiaoyi. Zhang Chunmei is five centimeters shorter than Shen Xiaorong, just over 1.6 meters tall.
Huang Han has grown taller now, and is actually not much shorter than Zhang Chunmei. However, as a boy, he looks shorter, and with Shen Xiaorong, who is half a head taller, as a reference, Huang Han still suffers from the height problem.
Models were needed to promote "Feng" brand clothing, so Huang Han forced Teacher Xiao Han to help. Together with Shen Xiaorong, Zhang Chunmei and Heng Ha, they were enough to attract customers' attention.
Huang Han also wears the "Wind" brand. The six of them, who are not good at modeling, simply don't imitate the cat steps. They are going to use their special skills to improvise and sing "Little Girl Under the Street Lamp" and "Teacher, Walk Slower".
After two songs, all the one or two hundred guests in the restaurant were attracted. Huang Han lost no time in picking up the microphone and said: "Boss, guests, we are from Sanshui County, a land of outstanding people. We were invited to the Provincial Radio and Television Station to rehearse the Lantern Festival Gala." .”
The restaurant manager immediately said: "It turns out that you are actors who came to the Provincial Radio and Television Station to participate in the Lantern Festival Gala! Can you prepare a TV program for our performance today so that we can have a sneak peek?"
The reason why the manager answered the question so quickly and so well was of course not accidental, but inevitable. It was because Huang Han had discussed the lines with others in advance.
"We are honored to perform here for the guests. Next, my classmates and I sang "Teacher, Walk Slower" and "Little Girl Under the Street Lamp" for everyone."
The manager and many staff members immediately applauded and shouted: "Welcome, welcome! Warm welcome!"
"... I wish you a warm winter, a warm spring, a light when it gets dark, and an umbrella when it rains..."
This song was already familiar to everyone, and many young waiters in the guest house sang along to the rhythm, and the scene suddenly developed in the direction of "Hi!"
The following "Little Girl Under the Street Lamp" instantly made most of the guests and customers say "Hi!"
"...Dear little sister, please don't cry..."
Whenever this line is sung, more than fifty young people sing along and twist their bodies.
The effect was beyond expectation. The guests who finished the meal did not leave, and more than a hundred people came in outside.
The restaurant was full, so dozens of people had no seats and chose to stand and watch the show. Then no one sat in the restaurant anymore, because the people sitting were blocked from seeing the show, and also because it didn't feel good to say "Hi!" while sitting. Cool.
Director Jin and several other leaders were happy to see that the guests and foreign guests all liked the performance of the Sanshui County team. They no longer had to worry about anything and went about their business.
