Chapter 662: Who is it?! Come to intercept my beard again!
The Chinese Spring Festival Gala on Blue Planet is similar to the Spring Festival Gala on Earth. The selection of programs and guests begins early, and after being selected, rehearsals begin.
Rehearsals are divided into classified rehearsals and joint rehearsals, also called joint rehearsals.
The reason for these two rehearsal methods is that this evening party involves a very large cast and a wide variety of program types. Even the Chinese authorities cannot ensure that all programs can be rehearsed at the same time every time.
So they simply conducted classified rehearsals, classifying the programs of the same type and rehearsing them together. This, on the one hand, allowed them to intuitively compare the pros and cons of similar programs, and on the other hand, it also helped the director team to make adjustments to these programs.
When the time is right, each department and program will rehearse together according to the broadcast order, which is called joint rehearsal.
According to convention, the Spring Festival Gala will have four to five rehearsals every year. The purpose of this is to ensure that the probability of possible mistakes is kept to a minimum.
The final program list will be released during the last rehearsal.
However, even if a program is included in the final program list, it does not necessarily mean that it will be able to appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Because on the day of the live broadcast, there will be various reasons that prevent the program from appearing on the stage, the most common of which is timeout.
Once the time limit is exceeded, one or two of the subsequent programs that have not yet been performed on stage will most likely be removed to ensure the integrity of the entire performance.
This is not unique on the Spring Festival Gala stage, but there have been several such precedents! It can be said that until the last moment, you don’t know whether your program can be performed on the stage.
Although Lin Fan can now be called "the most popular singer in China", he does not have many privileges when facing such a big stage. He has to attend all the rehearsals. If there are any changes, the program will be cancelled.
Therefore, every rehearsal is very important to Lin Fan. Today is the first rehearsal, Zhou Yue is worried about it anyway, so he just accompanies Lin Fan here.
In theory, the rehearsals for this evening party are conducted in secret. In order to prevent the media from leaking the news in advance, no one except the staff and invited program members is allowed to enter the rehearsal site.
But there are always exceptions. Zhou Yue was able to get in by scanning his face!
When Lin Fan was about to ask Zhou Yue if he had any tricks, he saw several people from the director team hurried over. Looking at their route, it seemed as if they were coming towards him?
As the directors approached, one of them said with a smile, "Hey, who is this? Why did you come uninvited?"
Zhou Yue ignored him and turned to Lin Fan and said, "Zhou Yang, my cousin, this year's chief director."
Lin Fan: ⊙▽⊙!
Boss!
Boss, are you still missing an accessory on your leg? How about me? No wonder when Zhou Yue left Xinghe, Xinghe didn't even dare to say a word. It turned out that in addition to being a big boss himself, Zhou Yue had an even more powerful big boss backing him up.
Chief director!
Lin Fan had never seen such a great leader in his life, no, in both of his lives! Zhou Yang took the initiative to extend his hand to show his goodwill: "Hello, Lin Fan, I have heard all your songs, and I also know that you have won awards overseas. You have done a great job. China needs outstanding talents like you who can bring glory to the country."
Lin Fan's face flushed with praise, and he quickly held Zhou Yang's outstretched hand and shook it vigorously twice: "Director Zhou, you are too polite. I am not afraid of anything for winning glory for the country. It is all my duty."
Zhou Yang likes young people like Lin Fan who are aware of the situation: "Come on, they are about to start rehearsals over there, what is your show?"
We can’t blame Zhou Yang for having a bad memory; it’s mainly because the entire evening show is too important.
Zhou Yang is the chief director, and under him there are assistant directors for songs, executive directors, and so on. From the screening of programs to the preliminary confirmation, and then to the first classified rehearsal now, Zhou Yang has been very busy. No matter how famous Lin Fan is, in Zhou Yang's eyes he is just a performing guest at the party.
Lin Fan didn't mind. As the chief director of an evening party, Zhou Yang was indeed very busy: "I'm in a song program. It's a new song. It's my first time participating in such a big evening party. Although I haven't made the final list, I'm still a little nervous."
Zhou Yue interrupted, "Why are you so nervous? Those who are not as famous as you, and who do not have the right inclinations as you, can get on, not to mention your talent. If anyone should be nervous, they should be the ones to be nervous."
Zhou Yang rolled his eyes: "With your lousy mouth, if you weren't my brother, I would have asked someone to kick you out!"
Zhou Yue raised his neck and challenged: "Am I not telling the truth?"
Zhou Yang wanted to beat someone up: "Truthfully, you said that? Aren't you bringing bad luck to Lin Fan? Is this how you treat your new boss?"
Zhou Yue: "...I was just mad at you!"
Zhou Yang: "I'm not angry that you came uninvited, so why are you angry? What right do you have to be angry?"
The two brothers started arguing there. Lin Fan finally met someone who could surpass Zhou Yue in terms of identity, status, qualifications, or anything else.
In the past, Zhou Yue relied on his age, seniority, rich experience, and strong professional skills. No one could control him, whether he was in Xinghe or after he jumped to the Earthling Studio.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
That is Lin Fan, who has all the music resources in the world, which makes Zhou Yue treat him differently and willing to work for him. But Lin Fan knows that he is just cheating. If he doesn't have cheating, Zhou Yue won't look up to him. So Lin Fan has always respected Zhou Yue. After all, this is a real master!
Now that a normal person who is not cheating has finally emerged and can compete with Zhou Yue, Lin Fan can't help but feel a little emotional: As expected, the big guys play with the big guys, and ordinary people can't enter the circle of the big guys.
Zhou Yang brought Lin Fan and Zhou Yue to the rehearsal site and asked the staff to reissue a pass for Zhou Yue. Of course, they also had to sign a confidentiality agreement. This was something that even brothers could not discuss.
Zhou Yue signed the contract happily, which showed that this was not his first time signing this contract.
After the procedure was completed, Zhou Yang led his people to do their own things. As the chief director of an evening show, Zhou Yang was able to take time out of his busy schedule to greet Zhou Yue, which was a great honor. He had to focus on the overall performance effect. Things like classified rehearsals did not need Zhou Yang to personally supervise, as the deputy chief director and classified directors were responsible for them.
Zhou Yue took Lin Fan around the backstage with familiarity and greeted several folk and bel canto singers.
After walking around, Lin Fan discovered that besides himself, there was only one other singer who sang in the popular style, Ding Ruirui!
Ding Ruirui hadn't expected to run into Lin Fan backstage. After all, the invitation list had always been kept secret, and before the rehearsal, no one knew who else had been invited except herself.
Ding Ruirui sighed half-seriously, "Wow! Lin Fan, if I had known you were invited, we could have collaborated on a song!"
In response to this, Lin Fan said: "Sister Ding, I actually have a collaborator on this song."
Ding Ruirui: (╬￣皿￣) Who is it!? You come to interrupt me again!
Why is it so difficult to work with Lin Fan?
