Chapter 355 It’s such a pity for Gu Wei
February 7th, New Year’s Eve.
The CCTV Spring Festival Gala has lasted for more than 30 years since it was first held in 1983. In recent years, although the ratings have continued to decline and the reputation has become more mediocre, it is undeniable that this gala is still exposed nationwide. The most popular program.
This year is the Year of the Monkey, and the mascot of the Spring Festival Gala is also a cartoon monkey named "Kangkang".
Logically speaking, as a mascot, it should appear in every corner of the party so that the audience can see it. However, although a mascot was designed for this year’s Spring Festival Gala, it failed to appear in the end.
The reason is also very simple, because "Kangkang" is too ugly. After the final draft of the design was published online, it aroused a lot of condemnation from netizens. In the end, the Spring Festival Gala director team simply did not let it appear due to the pressure of public opinion.
This is the second time that Gu Wei has appeared on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and he is quite familiar with it.
His program is still a male solo. Although the stage is large, it is not difficult for Gu Wei, and his mentality is very peaceful.
Of course, the Spring Festival Gala director team has high expectations for him.
Gu Wei is the trump card of this year's Spring Festival Gala director team. Over the years, fewer and fewer young people have watched the Spring Festival Gala. Chief director Lu Yitao hopes to use Gu Wei's fame to attract these lost audiences back.
Gu Wei also knows this, but he has no pressure. For him, the Spring Festival Gala is just singing a song, just try your best, and the result will not have much impact on him.
After all, with his current achievements and fame, attending the Spring Festival Gala is just the icing on the cake for him. Even if the director team was not too enthusiastic to refuse, he would not consider wasting this time.
Although it is a bit Versailles, this is reality and Gu Wei's true thoughts.
Just like for some sketch actors, appearing on the Spring Festival Gala means becoming famous overnight, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But for Zhao Benshan in the later period, attending the Spring Festival Gala was just to live up to the audience's expectations, and it actually became a burden for him.
There were no big-name celebrities in this year's Spring Festival Gala. The ones that were slightly more popular were Hu Ge and Yang Yang. Their programs also included singing, but they were duets with others.
Brother Hu sang "Love Each Other" with Wanwan singer Xu Ruyun in the first half, and Yang Yang sang "Father and Son" with teacher Tong Tiexin from the Kongzheng Song and Dance Ensemble. In order to add a touch of starlight to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
In addition to them, actress Zhao Wei also appeared on the stage of this year's Spring Festival Gala.
If Gu Wei is the biggest male star in this year's Spring Festival Gala, then Zhao Wei is the highest-ranking female star.
Like Gu Wei, she also sang solo, but Gu Wei took the stage in the first half and she took the stage in the second half.
It seems that the director team also has expectations for Zhao Wei, but although she has high national popularity, her reputation is not very good. It is not yet known whether she can help increase the ratings as the director team expected.
At 20:00 in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala starts on time.
On the night of the New Year’s Eve, people from all over the country who went home to celebrate the New Year also gathered together. The whole family gathered together and turned on the TV to watch this annual Spring Festival Gala.
This year’s hosts are Zhou Tao, Zhu Jun, Dong Qing, Sabei Ning, Li Sisi, and Nigmaiti. Except for Mr. Zhu Jun, who is a bit older, it can be said that they are all handsome men and beauties.
However, this year without Li Yong, who has always had instant noodle hair, and the naive Lao Bi, I always feel that something is missing.
Backstage in the CCTV studio hall, Gu Wei, who had already put on makeup, was scrolling through his phone boredly, picking up the thermos cup in front of him and taking a sip of water from time to time, looking very relaxed.
"Brother Wei, aren't you nervous at all?"
Guan Xiaotong, who is also preparing everything in front of him, is not as leisurely as him. It can be seen from his appearance that he is about to board the She was very nervous on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
"Why are you nervous? It's just a song. Finish your work and go home early~"
Gu Wei looked indifferent.
He has his own dressing room, which is very quiet.
Guan Xiaotong usually stays with teacher Guo Donglin who performs together. Although their dressing room is larger than Gu Wei's, it is a bit crowded due to the large number of people, so she likes to come to Gu Wei's after putting on makeup. Stay.
"Brother, this is the Spring Festival Gala. More than a billion people across the country are watching you in front of the TV. How can you not be nervous?"
Guan Xiaotong was speechless.
Gu Wei glanced at her. Although the little girl had a carefree personality, she was still young and had relatively little experience. It was normal to be nervous in an occasion like the Spring Festival Gala.
"No matter how large the audience is in front of the TV, you can't see them, so just pretend they don't exist.
If you want to perform a show that only the thousands of people watching are watching, as long as you are in front of them Just don’t let it go.
If you think about it this way, you’ll feel less nervous.”
Gu Wei taught her how to regulate her emotions.
Guan Xiaotong stood up straight, looked straight ahead, took a few deep breaths, and hypnotized himself.
"Although I'm still nervous, I'm a little better than before."
"In fact, it's better to be a little nervous, which helps to concentrate. Sometimes it's easy to forget the words if you are too relaxed."
This year's Spring Festival Gala There are many language programs. Basically, one or two song and dance programs will be followed by a sketch. This is considered an improvement this year.
However, due to the limitations of this year’s theme, the sketches that can appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage are a bit too positive in style. This is not a bad thing, and it always feels preachy rather than funny, lacking the kind of content that can make the audience laugh. programme.
In the main control room of the studio hall, chief director Lu Yitao stared at the real-time ratings curve backstage, frowning.
The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala have shown a slow downward trend since 8 o'clock. More than an hour into the show, the ratings have dropped several points.
"How long until Gu Wei's show will be on?"
He asked casually.
The assistant next to him lowered his head and glanced at the program list in his hand.
“There are two more programs, and it will take about 10 minutes for him to sing his song solo~”
Director Lu nodded, his expression unchanged.
At about 9:40, the skit [Express Xiao Qiao] performed by Qiao Shan, Xiu Rui, and Lou Yixiao ended.
Sa Beining and Li Sisi appeared on stage.
"Sisi, do you usually have any hobbies at home?"
"I like to watch some TV series when I am by myself."
"What a coincidence, I also like to watch it. Do you have any good TV series to recommend recently?"
"I just happened to watch a period drama "Langya Bang", a historical drama. It was very interesting, especially the part in it. The protagonist "Mei Changsu" is so handsome! "
"Haha, let me tell you that your favorite "Mei Zongzhu" also came to the scene today and brought a very nice song to the national audience. Song. Welcome to [Heaven and Earth Dragon Scale] brought by Gu Wei!”
After Sabei Ning finished speaking, the stage darkened.
"Director, director, the ratings are starting to rise!"
In the main control room, the assistant looked at the ratings curve in front of him and said excitedly to Lu Yitao next to him.
Director Lu looked at the monitor screen showing Gu Wei's upcoming program and the skyrocketing ratings at the same time, and a smile appeared on his face that had been serious since the beginning of the party.
It seems that his judgment was correct.
Because of Gu Wei's participation, many young people who are no longer used to watching the Spring Festival Gala will turn on the TV when the time comes, so that the final data will not be too different from last year.
"Dong! Dong"
The drums sounded, and then accompanied by the sound of dongxiao, flute, and pipa ensemble, the rhythm was melodious, profound and majestic.
The huge LED screen behind the stage lights up, and the camera moves from far to near. Under a dragon-shaped shadow in the sky, the majestic, solemn and solemn Forbidden City appears.
“I started writing about this country
The national bloodline is tens of thousands of miles away
Over the centuries and six hundred years
The descendants of the dragon have gone through ups and downs
”
Gu Wei’s magnetic voice came. He was wearing a black and gold dragon-patterned robe. , slowly walked out from the shadows of the stage.
Slender and tough, his whole person looked like an emperor.
The scenery on the big screen behind him is constantly changing as Gu Wei sings. The mountains and rivers of the motherland, and the various magnificent ancient buildings that have been well preserved from ancient times to this day, give the audience a sense of the weight of history.
“.
This dragon scale once
falling to the ground like broken ice
One scale and one inch of heart
The story is shaking and I can’t bear to hear it
People keep the etiquette and keep quiet
The melodious guqin plays the gentleman’s heart
”
The tune of [Heaven and Earth Dragon Scale] is powerful The lyrics are majestic and have profound meanings. Watching Gu Wei's singing on the stage and listening to the majestic songs, the audience seems to see the giant dragon of the Chinese nation soaring into the sky step by step.
At Xiangshan Film and Television City, the crew of "Three Lives Three Worlds" rented a banquet hall in the nearest hotel and prepared a New Year's Eve dinner for the staff and actors who could not go home for the New Year.
Like an ordinary company annual meeting, the crew prepared some gifts, such as mobile phones, laptops, stereos, and four-piece bed sets, and distributed them to everyone through a lottery. At the end, everyone got a red envelope, of course. There isn't much money in it, it's just a celebration.
While eating and drawing prizes, a huge high-definition TV was placed at the front of the banquet hall, and the Spring Festival Gala was being played on it. The scene was full of New Year's atmosphere.
When Gu Wei's show starts, the lottery activities are temporarily suspended. Of course, everyone can't miss the boss's show.
“So handsome~”
On the main table closest to the TV, Reba stared at Gu Wei, who was wearing a black dragon-patterned outfit on the TV, and whispered.
Yang Mi next to her glanced at her slightly, and then looked up at the others. The young actresses in the crew all had the same expression as Reba.
No wonder they are nymphomaniacs. Gu Wei himself is very good-looking. The clothes and dress he wore for today’s Spring Festival Gala have a calm and domineering style. The combination of temperament definitely makes him look like a beheaded girl of all ages. .
His image today can no longer be described as a domineering president. If he insists on a metaphor, the ancient emperor is more suitable for him, and he is not an ordinary emperor. If Ying Zheng in history was a handsome guy, then This is probably what Gu Wei looks like today.
“Mr. Gu’s song is so majestic and domineering!”
Unlike girls who only care about Gu Wei's appearance, the actor cares more about the song he sings.
Zhang Binbin said something unconsciously.
“It really sounds good, especially when I listen to the song while watching the video played on the big screen, I feel like there are emotions surging in my chest.”
Gao Weiyan echoed on the side. .
At the same time, far away in Taipei City, Bay Island, Jay Chou was watching the Spring Festival Gala on online video with his wife Kun Ling at home.
Wanwan Island cannot receive TV stations from the mainland, and their local TV stations do not broadcast the Spring Festival Gala, but there is no problem watching it online.
The Spring Festival Gala is a real-time online broadcast on a domestic all-video platform. As long as you download any video software such as Tengxun, Youku, Kiwi, LeTV, etc., you can watch the Spring Festival Gala online anywhere in the world.
"Husband, no wonder you keep saying that Gu Wei is not inferior to you in terms of musical talent. His songs are really good!"
Kun Ling leaned on Zhou Jun and said in a sweet voice.
Wang Zhou looked at Gu Wei who was singing on the screen, with an expression of regret on his face.
"It's a pity that he doesn't want to concentrate on singing. Apart from promoting the movie, he only writes new songs for the Spring Festival Gala. Otherwise, there would be no problem for the Chinese music scene to have another king-level singer.
He sang this song today [Heaven and Earth Dragon Scale] The melody is majestic and the lyrics have profound meaning. It is very similar to Fang Wenshan’s style. It is another classic Chinese style song.”
Kunling listened to what her husband said with confusion.
She only thinks Gu Wei's songs are good, but she can't say what's good about them. Of course, the singer is also very handsome, which is another plus.
Kun Ling looked at the screen and then at Zhou Junjuan beside him, grinned and kissed him. It didn't matter how handsome Gu Wei was, it didn't matter to her, Junjuan was her true love.
Jay Chou, who was concentrating on listening to the song, turned to look at Kun Ling, a little confused, but he didn't care and continued to watch Gu Wei's singing.
“.
Every inch of my heart
The story is shaking and I can’t bear to hear it
The destiny of the nation
Lift your head high and revive again
Wander the world in search of dragon scales
The blood of dragons has become a forest"
[Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth] The whole song is 3 minutes and 40 seconds, Gu Wei After singing the last line, the big screen behind him returned to the Forbidden City, and a red sun was rising slowly above the Temple of Heaven. Just as the song said, the destiny of the nation was revived again, and the blood of the dragon became a forest!
Gu Wei raised his hands high, bowed deeply to the audience, then turned around and left the stage
The scene was quiet for two seconds, and then the entire CCTV studio hall burst into thunderous applause, which lasted for a long time.
Gu Wei made a chic exit, leaving behind a perfect performance that completely blew up the Spring Festival Gala.
However, it was difficult for teachers Tong Tiexin and Yang Yang behind him. They both sang, and with Gu Wei Zhuyu in front, it would be difficult to arouse the audience's emotions with their singing.
At this time, director Lu Yitao's face was filled with happiness. The effect of Gu Wei's song was so good that it completely exceeded previous expectations.
When they were looking for Gu Wei to perform in the Spring Festival Gala, Gu Wei came up with this song. The director team listened to it once and immediately agreed.
In fact, the theme of this song is too consistent with the mainstream values currently promoted by the government - the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Although it has the style of pop music, the content is completely red songs.
Now the singing effect is so great, it is almost perfect in every aspect, almost impeccable.
