"Yang Ke, is everyone here?"
"Time is tight. If everyone arrives, let the singers start rehearsing as soon as possible to familiarize themselves with the new songs."
"To prepare for the official rehearsal tomorrow morning."
With the arrival of film and television actress Tang Yan.
Seeing that the singers had finished chatting with each other, Wen Yaodong asked Director Yang Ke.
"No, we're still missing one Hong Kong artist, Xin Zuo, who hasn't come yet."
"I just messaged him to say that the announcement was delayed and he might be a little late."
Yang Ke glanced at the crowd, shook his head, and responded.
Xin Zuo is the eldest son of Xin Xiangqiang, president of Hong Kong Island Dragon Star Group, and is an actor and model.
Although it doesn't have any classic film or music representative works.
But on Hong Kong Island, all it takes is for someone to shout, "My dad is Xin Xiangqiang."
Countless resources in the film and entertainment industry will be readily available for him.
Xin Zuo, who has no formal training in acting, made his film debut in "Huo Yuanjia" with Li Jie, a well-known martial arts film star from China.
This demonstrates the Xin family's status and prestige on Hong Kong Island.
The reason I was invited to attend the opening ceremony of the Asian Games.
The production team's original intention was to have Xin Zuo, like Tang Yan, serve as the "mascot" and visual representative of the star-studded performance.
After all, Xin Zuo, who started as a model, has a pretty good figure and presence.
Most importantly.
This Hong Kong artist was recommended to join the production team by Zhou Shaoying, the composer of the original theme song.
In addition, given the Xin family's connections, status, and social influence in Hong Kong, the organizing committee quickly confirmed Xin Zuo's participation.
"Announcement delayed?"
"Didn't he know that all the singers would be gathering here today?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yaodong, who had just been all smiles, immediately darkened his expression and asked in a slightly displeased tone.
"He definitely knew."
"It must be that the itinerary was not handled well."
Yang Ke was equally speechless.
Just this afternoon, he specifically reminded this Hong Kong artist not to miss the afternoon's meet-and-greet.
Then the other party sent a message saying that their commercial performance was going to be delayed and they might be a little late.
I would like to trouble Minister Wen and the others to wait for me.
"..."
Upon hearing the name Xin Zuo, Zhang Han, Hu Haibin, and the others exchanged glances.
They looked at each other, speechless.
They had obviously heard of this artist with a peculiar personality before.
"Approximately how late?"
Wen Yaodong frowned, raised his wrist to check the time, and saw that it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
As planned.
Several singers and celebrities are about to head to the large conference room temporarily booked by the organizing committee to rehearse the songs they just finalized.
We aim to ensure that every singer can learn and sing Wang Yueheng's newly written choral piece by 10 p.m.
“I just asked him, and he said it will probably take another half hour to get here.”
"This is what Yang Ke, the office director, said with a helpless tone."
They were clearly somewhat helpless about this big-name celebrity who arrived late.
"well……"
Zhang Han, a female singer from Taiwan Province, couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this.
As a professional singer, what she dislikes most is performing with rich young men from wealthy families.
Whenever they try to get them on stage, it's either windy, rainy, or there's a traffic jam...
They are so difficult to manage.
"Half an hour?"
"Why didn't he come tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, even the usually mild-mannered Minister Wen Yaodong couldn't help but lose his temper.
If it weren't for the fact that this artist was recommended to join the cast by Zhou Shaoying...
In addition, he is the son of the influential Hong Kong-based Dragon Star Group.
Otherwise, given Wen Yaodong's temperament, he would have simply told the other party to get lost and not come back.
That being said...
Perhaps it is because of these special identities.
That's why this unruly artist felt confident enough to be late for rehearsals.
"Minister Wen, how about we let everyone go to rehearse first, and wait for the late singer while we rehearse?"
"So as not to waste everyone's time."
Seeing this, another leader from the Asian Games Organizing Committee offered a suggestion.
"Yue Heng, you're the creator of this song, what do you think?"
"Can we start rehearsals normally given our manpower shortage?"
Unexpectedly, Wen Yaodong did not immediately agree to the leader's suggestion.
Instead, he turned to Wang Yueheng beside him and asked for his opinion.
Minister Wen Yaodong's attitude surprised the singers and celebrities present once again.
He would ask Wang Yueheng again about things he could have decided himself.
This shows how much they value this young singer!
However, considering that Wang Yueheng is one of the torchbearers for the opening ceremony of this Asian Games.
He also replaced the well-known composer Zhou Shaoying to obtain the rights to create a song for a group of stars, and is also a member of the national-level music associations.
And just now, they also gave the five generals of the Dragon Kingdom a thoroughly enjoyable and wonderful performance...
Zhang Han and the others immediately felt relieved.
If I were Wen Yaodong, I would also think much more highly of this talented singer.
On influence within the organization.
Even a hundred Xin Zuos combined might not be able to match Wang Yueheng!
Zhang Han and the others were becoming increasingly curious.
The opening ceremony featured a star-studded chorus.
What kind of brilliant piece of music did Wang Yueheng write that could impress a group of senior government officials?
They didn't even use songs by Zhou Shaoying, a first-class composer from China.
“Minister Wen, I think there’s no problem. We can practice each person’s solo part first.”
"We'll rehearse the group singing once everyone has arrived."
Upon hearing Minister Wen Yaodong's question, Wang Yueheng immediately gave his answer.
They didn't consider anything about the late artist.
"Okay, then you can go to the conference room on the top floor to rehearse first!"
"When Xin Zuo arrives, have him come directly to the rehearsal room to find you."
"The security department cooperated with Comrade Wang Yueheng to clear all other irrelevant personnel from the venue to prevent the content of the performance from being leaked."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yaodong nodded and then made further arrangements.
"Splash!"
Afterwards, the celebrities, escorted by Yang Ke and security personnel, took the elevator directly to the temporary rehearsal room on the top floor.
On the way to the rehearsal room.
Sheet music, stamped with "Confidential" and wrapped in transparent plastic covers, was handed to the celebrities.
The music for the choral song that everyone will be rehearsing tonight was written and composed by Wang Yueheng.
Actress Tang Yan, along with Zhou Qian, Zhang Han, and others, are holding folders.
As I walked, I eagerly opened the sheet music and looked at the song title.
"The theme song for the Asian Games opening ceremony chorus: 'Chapter'..."
Lyrics: Wang Yueheng; Arrangement: Wang Yueheng; Live Accompaniment: Little Red Flower Band...
After seeing the song title and lyrics.
A look of amazement appeared on the faces of Zhang Han and the others.
Several singers stared at the lyrics and sheet music in their hands, and some even began to silently read the score and hum along.
Wow, this song is amazing!
"As expected of Wang Yueheng's work!"
Zhou Qian, an introverted and quiet singer, stared at the sheet music in her hand and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Compared to those grand and expansive celebratory choral pieces, full of the characteristics of a grand celebration.
This song serves as both an inspiration and encouragement to the participating athletes.
It is also perfect for singing along at an opening ceremony where tens of thousands of people gather!
"Please keep this confidential. Before the official performance, you must not disclose any information or materials related to this song to the outside world."
"Once you breach the contract and leak information, you will be solely responsible for the serious consequences!"
"The opening ceremony of this Asian Games was the result of the hard work of tens of thousands of people, and it was attended by dignitaries from many countries."
"As participants, each of you must raise your awareness and sense of responsibility!"
"The next rehearsal will be entirely overseen by the song's composer, Wang Yueheng. Please follow his instructions and work together to deliver a perfect performance for the audience!"
After entering the closed rehearsal room, Yang Ke, the director of the planning department, held a short meeting with a serious expression and repeatedly emphasized the following.
He also handed over the important task of directing the rehearsals to Wang Yueheng in front of everyone.
"clear!"
"Please rest assured, sir!"
