Chapter 216 The critical point of becoming famous
The CCTV Spring Festival Gala is a national project hosted by CCTV, which is equivalent to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
In a world of great competition, there are more wolves and less meat. Countless people will fight for even a chance to order a big sesame and mung bean, let alone a solo opportunity at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
In the information age, the 2003 Spring Festival Gala crew also set up an official website.
Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2002, the Spring Festival Gala crew began to collect sketches, program ideas, songs, etc. on the website, including the "2003 Spring Festival Gala Song Collection", "Spring Festival Gala Zero Plan Collection Activity", and "Spring Festival Gala New Year Hope Collection Activity" . Among them, the "2003 Spring Festival Gala Song Collection" was launched less than a month ago, and more than 2,000 songs have been collected.
The song "Only Lover" that Chen Qianqian is preparing to perform stands out from these more than 2,000 songs.
Chen Qianqian passed through one, two, and three rounds and finally entered the final stage smoothly.
The rehearsal adjustments for individual programs started on January 5, 2003 and lasted until the 15th. From the 16th, the rehearsal stage began. The 18th and 19th were full rehearsals, the 20th were rehearsals with the audience, and the 21st and 19th were rehearsals with the audience. Special video recording on the 23rd, rehearsals on the 22nd, 24th, 26th and 28th, recording and broadcasting on the 29th, and live broadcast on the 31st.
On January 12, the party finalized Lin Yilian's "At Least I Still Have You". Kang Honglei, the party's executive director, felt that "The Only Lover" and "At least I Still Have You" completely conflicted from the song title to the concept.
……
At 11 o'clock in the evening on January 12, 2003, Chen Qianqian knew that the show she had prepared for half a year was canceled...
Of course, the program team didn't say it was cancelled, but it said it would be corrected within a time limit. The show would be scheduled on the 16th, so when Li Jie found Sun Tao, he said it would be three days!
In fact, when the Spring Festival Gala notified Chen Qianqian, she had already started to get another song from the previously unsuccessful program.
It is said that rectification is within a time limit, but in fact, who the hell is waiting for you? From the moment you receive the notice, you have been eliminated.
If you say after three days that I have changed and want to come back again, that is just a joke.
In the past, you were able to push out the second candidate with a slight advantage. Now that the second substitute has come up and you still want to push him out, you have to be at least one level higher than the other candidate!
On January 12, Chen Qianqian cried all night after receiving the notice.
On January 13, everyone in her circle of friends was trying to help her find a solution. She said thank you, but she was already discouraged.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon on January 14, Chen Qianqian received a call from Gao Xiaosong saying that the new song was almost finished but just needed to be arranged. He asked her to quickly prepare to record the song at night, maybe she would have to stay up all night or something...
Chen Qianqian smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Gao, thank you, but let's not worry about it. The audience-contested song "Let Love Live in My Home" that I am going to compete on has passed the review of the director team..."
"Hahaha, don't worry, the Spring Festival Gala director team only looks at the performance of the show. If the performance is good, they will still replace people after the rehearsal with makeup is over. You don't have to pity them. I'm about to get on the plane. I'll call you when I land. .”
Chen Qianqian was stunned. Hearing what he meant, the song he got this time was at least one level higher than "Let Love Live in My House".
Chen Qianqian didn't dare to have any hope anymore, but it was Gao Xiaosong who said this.

"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong"
Sun Tao put down the mouse and went over to open the door. Sure enough, outside the door was Li Qinglei... and a large number of women watching the fun.
Sun Tao was wearing a full outfit, a black shirt and jeans, which was far from the nightgown that these women had imagined.
Li Qinglei's outfit made Sun Tao frown. The white shirt and black pants were fine, but they looked like tights.
Sun Tao didn't say much. He had seen too many girls wearing yoga pants with bulging bulges on Douyin. "Come in, I have something to talk to you about."
It was about business, so Sun Tao called Li Qinglei in and walked straight back to the computer without closing the door.
"Bah!" Li Qinglei entered the room and closed the door in one go.
"Oh, trade secrets, don't let them hear it." Li Qinglei stuck out her tongue playfully.
Sun Tao glanced at her and said nothing more, as if she wanted to devote herself to art.
It's not necessary to open it again. No little girl is willing to use her innocence as a price to slander others.
At least it was still like this in 2003. In fact, everyone knew that the little girl who was willing to sacrifice her innocence to slander others must have greater interests involved. Black and red are also red!
In 2003, such benefits were not yet obvious, and Sun Tao would only say a few words to her for a short time.
"The recording here will end on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month. On the day of the twelfth lunar month, the pedestrian street management committee is going to hold a Spring Festival exhibition and invite you to sing."
Li Qinglei nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."
"Please sing two songs. "Divination" is a must-sing. What do you want to sing for the other song?"
"Is "Moonlight in the City" okay? This was the last song I participated in the talent show. I prepared for it for a long time, but unfortunately I was eliminated."
Sun Tao sat on the chair in the reception area, and Li Qinglei sat on Sun Tao's bed. She had a slight edge but did not sit firmly. Her back was straight, her legs were close together, and her two white feet were on the carpet. She just came in wearing disposable slippers from the hotel...
Sun Tao didn't dare to look closely and turned to look out the window, "You may feel aggrieved by some things..."
"No grievance, I know it very well. I thought clearly when I signed the contract. Although it seems that my performance fee is taken by the company, I will have a steady stream of opportunities. They will wait until the talent show starts next year. will be replaced by the next group of people.”
Sun Tao nodded slightly. Xiaonian's performance was a big news in Wu'an. The appearance fee was 10,000. A friend and classmate must have informed Li Qinglei about it, but according to the agreement, Li Qinglei could only get 30% of the performance fee.
Although the agreement was signed, after all, I did not see real money when I signed the agreement. The money in my heart and the money in front of me are not the same thing.
Many people were very happy when they signed the agreement. Once the company really started taking commissions, she would make a fuss. She didn't care how much the company invested in promoting her company.
Sun Tao was very pleased. Just as he was about to turn his head, a pair of gentle arms suddenly hugged him from behind.
Sun Tao wanted to say something fiercely, "Let go, you don't have to do this."
But what he said was, "There are a lot of people outside waiting to watch the excitement."
