After two and a half days of intense rehearsals.
Yuan Yi finally led everyone to complete the task of singing "Defend the Yellow River" in a grand chorus.
The live broadcast of the gala will begin at 7 PM this afternoon.
This gala was broadcast live globally by CCTV-1.
Yuan Yi and the others arrived at the backstage of Studio One early on.
At this moment, Yuan Yi's lounge was full of people.
The orchestra's principal conductor, Shao Hua, general directors, Lin Weiqi and Wang Chuchu, as well as several veteran members of the choir, dance troupe, and cultural troupe, etc.
"You're the chief director, why aren't you commanding your troops? What are you doing here?"
Grandpa Zhang Xueqing looked at Lin Weiqi, who was blocking his way, with dissatisfaction.
"Oh my goodness, my old Mr. Zhang!!"
"I only slacked off for a little while, and you're already complaining?!"
"Alright, I'm leaving!"
"You all need to prepare well!"
Lin Weiqi turned and walked out of the lounge, pulling Wang Chuchu out with him.
Shao Hua from the symphony orchestra looked at Yuan Yi.
"Brother Yuan, thank you so much!"
Yuan Yi looked at Shao Hua's resentful expression and words, and smiled helplessly!
"Commander Shao, it's not my fault!"
"Blame Director Lin! He's the one who took a liking to you, not me who recommended you!!"
Shao Hua waved his hand after hearing Yuan Yi's words.
"Alright, I'm not blaming you! I really want to thank you!!"
"It is an honor for our symphony orchestra to participate in such an important event!"
"Moreover, it is an honor for me to conduct these two new pieces and songs, 'The Song of Breaking the Battle Formation in the Moon Palace' and 'Defending the Yellow River'!"
"Thank you for choosing me!!"
Hearing this, Yuan Yi waved his hand. He had just thought Shao Hua was upset that he had disturbed his vacation!
"We complement each other. Without your symphony orchestra, these two pieces would not have reached their current level!"
After hearing Yuan Yi's words, Shao Hua smiled and nodded at Yuan Yi.
Although their symphony orchestra is one of the top orchestras in China, it doesn't mean that there aren't more talented orchestras in the private sector or abroad.
Yuan Yi had many choices, but he would acknowledge their kindness!
Previously, they won unanimous praise from the group for their song "Breaking the Formation in the Moon Palace"!
In addition, they will be going abroad for an exchange at the end of this month, and they plan to bring this song "Breaking the Formation in the Moon Palace" with them.
Now there is a large chorus of "Defend the Yellow River", and it can also be performed with a symphony orchestra.
This is undoubtedly an opportunity for them to appear on the international stage and showcase Chinese culture and music.
Shao Hua isn't an ungrateful person!
In the director's room, Lin Weiqi heard a scream from the voice on the phone.
What did you just say?
It was amazing and exaggerated, and the tone of his voice carried an expression of utter shock.
"Director Lin, we just received a notification that not only the Central Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Culture, but also the State Council, various military regions, veterans, and others will be attending the gala!"
The voice came through the phone again.
Lin Weiqi said expressionlessly, "I understand, I'm hanging up!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Weiqi immediately performed a set of monkey punches and shouted!
"Ugh! Why didn't anyone tell me beforehand?!"
"Why are there so many important people here? I'm under so much pressure!"
"Someone, please save me!!!"
Previously, the leaders above all said they wouldn't come because they didn't have time.
Lin Weiwei was encouraged to boldly host this party, but who knew what would happen at the last minute?
As if by prior arrangement, the leaders accompanied batches of veterans as they walked in from outside the venue.
It should be noted that many of these veterans are over 100 years old and have experienced the War of Resistance against Japan, the War of Resistance against the United States, the Vietnam War, and the Indian War!
This immediately put Lin Weiqi under immense pressure, as he was terrified that even the slightest problem might arise.
Then he simply put a period to his career.
After a while of rambling, Lin Weiqi picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Ahem, everyone pay attention! Everyone pay attention!"
"This gala absolutely cannot cause me any problems."
"All the big shots are here. If any of you let me down, don't wait for me to take action, you're packing your bags and leaving!"
"From now on, re-check all the lighting, camera positions, screens, and everything else related to the work!!"
Upon hearing Lin Weiqi's words, the staff member was taken aback for a moment.
Then everything was checked again.
The singers who had taken the stage in the dressing room were all stunned.
However, apart from Yuan Yi, all of these people have experienced great trials and tribulations.
What leaders haven't they seen? So these minor hardships don't excite them much.
They even started to get excited.
Wang Chuchu looked at Yuan Yi nervously.
The other people in the lounge also looked at Yuan Yi.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Yuan Yi naturally heard what Wang Chuchu was saying on the walkie-talkie.
However, he remained calm and composed. What did the appearance of so many leaders have to do with him?
He just needs to focus on his performance!
Upon hearing Yuan Yi's question, everyone shifted their gaze away from Yuan Yi's face!
"Young man Yuan, aren't you nervous?"
The old man Zhang, who had previously criticized Lin Weiqi, asked Yuan Yi.
