Chapter 116 Spring Festival Gala Invitation
At 6 pm, the office building of Beijing CCTV was brightly lit, and there was a tense rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala in Studio No. 1.
Director Meng Xin sat in his office, watching the recent evening party videos reported by various provincial stations.
As the Spring Festival Gala entered the countdown stage, as the general director of the evening party, Meng Xin was very busy every day during this period. Every day, she was not only watching the rehearsal effects on the spot, but also watching the video of the evening party. The first time she was the director of such an important evening party, she felt tremendous pressure.
It is a pleasure for others to watch the evening party, but Meng Xin is very tired of watching the evening party. In addition to being at the rehearsal site every day, he also has to take time to watch three to four evening parties on average, and anyone will feel aesthetic fatigue.
As a plate of tapes was finished, Meng Xin walked over and took out a plate from a pile of tapes next to her. This was the fourth plate she watched today. After watching, she had to attend the sixth rehearsal of the party.
This tape is a video of a flood relief party held two days ago when Hebei TV reported. Recently, Meng Xin has watched this type of tape for three or four times. There is no one about flood control theme for the evening party yet. There are many programs reported below, but most of them are not innovative. Meng Xin, who has high requirements for the quality of the program, naturally cannot pass it.
Flood fighting was a major event in 1998. It is impossible not to miss the Spring Festival Gala with such a major theme. Not only should it be held, but it also produces fine products. This is a standard that Meng Xin had long set in his heart.
In the TV screen, the opening of the party is still to create an atmosphere with the flood fighting pictures of the TV wall. Meng Xin has watched this familiar opening method several times. What interested her is the background music used in the party, which is very generous and has a heroic spirit. Meng Xin has never heard of this music before. I thought it was probably the latest creation of a composer or music studio. It is good to use it as accompaniment for recitation.
Looking at Li Moran who appeared later, Meng Xin couldn't help laughing. It seemed that the director of this evening party really thought of going together with him.
Looking at Li Moran's recitation, Meng Xin nodded secretly. He also liked Mr. Li's recitation style very much. The heavy tone was very contagious. With the background music, this Ai Qing's work was interpreted very well.
In fact, Meng Xin had thought about using recitation to express flood fighting, but looking at some of the works collected, there were not many that satisfy her. After discussing it with several deputy directors several times, everyone thought it was not suitable. Although Teacher Li Moran's recitation was very exciting, using this short poem as a separate program is obviously a bit thin.
As the picture changed, the melody of "For Who" came out of TV.
The works launched by the Spring Festival Gala have always encouraged originality, which is also the consistent tone of the Spring Festival Gala over the years. Seeing this song that is obviously a new creation, Meng Xin seemed to be very concerned.
This work did not disappoint Meng Xin. The simple and sincere lyrics and beautiful melodies immediately attracted Meng Xin's attention.
The further I got to the back, the deeper the smile on Meng Xin's face. It seemed that his kung fu today was not in vain and he dug up a big treasure.
Lu Wei's singing made Meng Xin nod and heard it. Meng Xin, who graduated from the Music Department of Changchun Normal University, was naturally not an amateur vocal music. Lu Wei's beautiful tone is already very rare. With the correct method and a good grasp of the song's emotions, the song was sung very well.
In contrast, although the woman next to her is quite professional, she shows a hint of stereotype and student spirit, which makes the song lose its color.
Of course this is not a problem for Meng Xin. Just find another professional actress. As for Lu Wei, there is no need to change it. Meng Xin has been through several people in his heart, and finally found that it is Lu Wei who comes to sing this song for the male voice.
Without continuing to watch the following program, Meng Xin immediately took out the phone book on his body, found the mobile phone number of the director of Hebei TV, picked up the phone and dialed it.
Yang Guojun has been very busy recently. Although Hebei TV’s Spring Festival Gala is not as famous as CCTV, for Hebei TV, it is the top priority for work before the Spring Festival, especially because it is necessary to stagger CCTV’s broadcast time, so the evening party will be broadcast on the 28th of the New Year, which is even more urgent.
At this moment, Director Yang was also guarding the studio in the stage and reviewing the program of the evening party for the fifth time.
The cell phone in his pocket rang. Director Yang took it out and looked serious on his face. Of course he knew the phone number from the office of the director of the provincial station, the head of the provincial station.
Turning around and walking out of the studio, Director Yang came to a secluded place and picked it up.
"Hey, hello, Master Yang." A female voice came from the other end of the microphone.
"Oh, hello, Director Meng Da, do you have any instructions?" said Master Yang happily.
"Haha, how dare I, a young director, instruct you to be the master. I want to trouble you for some reason." Meng Xin smiled.
"If CCTV's directors are all young directors, then no one in the country dares to be a big director. Haha, who doesn't know that your hand holds the power of life and death in the Spring Festival Gala program, which is amazing. What's the matter with Director Meng?" asked Master Yang happily.
"That's the case. Didn't your station hold a disaster relief party two days ago? I just looked at the tape you reported here. I was very interested in the song "For Who" in it. I want to contact that male actor. Can you check his contact information for me?" Meng Xin said.
"No problem, no problem, I'll check it out for you right away and I'll go back to you later. Haha, I really didn't expect that our provincial-Taiwan Gala would actually catch the eye of you, the great director." Master Yang quipped.
"You are so polite, Master Yang. There are also many excellent programs in the provincial gala. It is the responsibility of us directors to discover them."
After putting down the phone, Director Yang immediately returned to the studio and said to a person inside: "Xiao Chen, go and call Director Jiang to my office."
"Okay Master." A young man agreed and rushed to the stage with a trot.
After a while, there was a knock on the door in Master Yang's office.
"Master, are you asking me for trouble?" Director Jiang heard a "come in" sound from the office, and pushed open the door and said to the director behind the desk.
"Well, do you have his contact information for the male actor who sang the song "For Who" in the disaster relief party the other day?"
"Oh, you said Lu Wei." When Director Jiang heard the director ask about this song, he felt energetic and immediately said: "That program was introduced by Director Luo. It seems that Lu Wei is a student from a normal school and went back after the performance. I don't have his contact information here, but Director Luo's outer daughter Cao Lihua may have it."
"Oh, I get it, you go." Master Yang said, picking up the phone on the table.
Turning around and leaving Director Yang's office, Director Jiang was very happy. Although Director Jiang did not reveal the specific matters about finding Lu Wei, based on the experience of a director for many years, he felt that it must be a good thing. At this time, he was probably the Spring Festival Gala in Taiwan to prepare for this program. Director Jiang, who has a very good impression of Lu Wei, of course, hopes that Lu Wei can have better development, and it is also a great honor to be able to produce high-quality programs from his own party.
"Hey, Director Luo, I am Yang Guojun. Did an actor named Lu Wei sing a song at that party two days ago? Yes, yes, please help me check his contact information and let me know." Master Yang said and put down the phone.
After a moment, Director Luo's phone call came back. While listening, Director Yang wrote down a number from the paper. After putting down the phone, he called Meng Xin again.
"Director Meng Da, haha, it's me, fortunately I've been disappointed. I finally asked you for your questions, but Lu Wei is still a student. Now he is on vacation and probably has returned to his hometown." said Master Yang.
"Thank you, Master Yang. I understand. If there is nothing to do, I will quit first. When will I come to Beijing to treat you?"
"That's great, right, can you reveal anything, haha," asked Master Yang.
"I'm sorry, Master Yang, you also know that our crew has a confidentiality regulations, and some things are inconvenient to say, haha."
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory." Director Yang said with a smile.
"Okay, then that's it."
Meng Xin always acted vigorously. After writing down Lu Wei's number, Meng Xin immediately picked up the phone and dialed it.
Lu Wei looked at the area code that showed the phone number from Beijing, and was a little confused. In addition to having contact with Kong Xiangdong Piano Art Center and Wei Xiaofan's office, he had no other acquaintances in Beijing, but looking at the number, it was obvious that this number did not come from these two places.
After answering the phone, a female voice came from the other end:
"Hey, hello, it's Lu Wei."
"Yes, I am Lu Wei, who are you?"
"I am Meng Xin, the director of the Spring Festival Gala at CCTV. I just saw the "For Who" you sang two days ago. I think it's very good. Are you interested in attending the Spring Festival Gala?" Meng Xin said with a smile.
"On the Spring Festival Gala?" Lu Wei screamed in surprise, and his voice also attracted everyone in the family.
"Yes," Meng Xin said with a smile. He took the initiative to ask others to go to the Spring Festival Gala. Meng Xin is probably the only one among all the directors of the Spring Festival Gala.
"Of course, of course I'm interested!" Lu Wei said excitedly. Just kidding, where is the Spring Festival Gala? How many actors want to get in? If Lu Wei doesn't agree, unless his brain is broken.
"That's great. If there is no problem, I'll report to the crew tomorrow." Meng Xin said with a smile.
"Okay, no problem, Director Meng is your office call," Lu Wei asked.
"Yes, just call me when you arrive. Also, this is my mobile phone number, please remember it." Meng Xin said, telling Lu Wei a number.
"Okay, Director Meng, I'll set out tomorrow morning and try to report to the crew in the afternoon." Lu Wei said happily.
"Yeah, then that's it, goodbye."
Putting down his phone, Lu Wei jumped up excitedly.
"What's going on? Dawei, what's the Spring Festival Gala?" My parents gathered up and asked.
"Dad, mom, the director of the Spring Festival Gala called me just now and asked me to go to the Spring Festival Gala." Lu Wei said excitedly.
"Really! Spring Festival Gala?" Lu Wei's father felt like he was dreaming, watching the Spring Festival Gala every year, but he didn't expect that he could actually see his son's performance in it this year.
"Great son, this opportunity is really rare. You must act well," said my father happily.
"Don't worry, dad, no problem." Lu Wei said confidently.
"Isn't you not be able to celebrate the New Year at home?" Lu Wei's mother was a little unhappy. Although she knew that it was a good thing for her son to attend the Spring Festival Gala, she also valued New Year's Eve in her heart.
"Mom, don't worry. I'll come back soon after the show, and I'll be able to catch up with the dumplings. Lu Wei smiled.
"That's okay, son, act well and give your mother a sigh of relief!" Lu Wei's mother heard that her son could come back after acting, and she also disappeared with the only unhappiness in her heart.
The whole family gathered around, smiling happily while talking to Lu Wei about the things to pay attention to when going out, and his mother immediately packed up Lu Wei's things.
Early the next morning, Lu Wei got up early and got into the car and walked towards the county town.
