Chapter 753 Learn from each other!
New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve.
For Chinese people, this day is a day for family reunion. No matter how far away the wanderers leave their homes, they will rush to their homes and have a reunion dinner when this day comes.
The hour hand gradually pointed to twenty o'clock. The night sky was low in China, and fireworks and firecrackers could be seen everywhere illuminating the night sky, revealing the strong New Year atmosphere.
However, at this moment of reunion, there was a group of people in the backstage of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala studio and could not reunite with their families. They were the actors who participated in the Spring Festival Gala performance.
Since the afternoon, all the actors participating in the Spring Festival Gala have been in place. After months of rehearsals, just for the appearance of this night. Among them, there are old stars who have participated in the Spring Festival Gala more than a dozen times, and new faces who have appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. But without exception, these people's faces showed a look of expectation.
Chu Yang sat in the corner of the backstage, holding his cell phone and sending text messages. Since the press conference was held in the afternoon, his text messages and phone calls have not been interrupted. Although this number is his private number and only a few people know about it, almost none of these people fell behind. They all contacted him through text messages or phone calls and asked what was going on.
After all, Chu Yang's previous remarks at CCTV's press conference were really shocking. Now on the Internet, he is already a well-deserved topic figure, and he has also become one of the most popular actors tonight's Spring Festival Gala. His popularity is even higher than that of those stars with high popularity!
"Chu Yang. The ministry has held a ministry meeting. Minister He strongly supports you for your actions of participating in the Spring Festival Gala. Don't worry, perform well, we will watch your program and cheer you up!" Chu Yang suddenly received such a text message on his mobile phone, and the sender of the text message was his immediate boss, Tang Jie, director of the Art Department.
Seeing this message, Chu Yang was a little moved and quickly replied, "Thank you!"
In fact, when he held that press conference, he had nothing to worry about. After all, what he said was the truth and the truth. He knew that as an official, if he continued to live in this entertainment industry, such a situation would sooner or later. Since he came, he would not avoid it. Although he entered the officialdom to meet Li Tugen's request, and to further understand the entertainment industry in China and broaden his horizons for his cultivation in the fun, if he could only choose one in the officialdom and the entertainment industry, Chu Yang would choose the latter without hesitation. After all, he was not very enthusiastic about the identity of an official. He had promised Li Tugen before just for his own convenience. At least, today he was able to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. This identity played a big role. If he had not been wearing the banner of the Ministry of Culture, it would probably be his turn to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala with his current influence in the secular world.
Tang Jie's text message was filled with deep concern. Chu Yang was also very moved when he thought about this elder sister who had been taking care of herself in all aspects since she entered the Ministry of Culture. If we talk about it simply from the perspective of a civil servant, her performance was not good, especially at the beginning, which made those who care about her worry a lot. Although it is better now, Chu Yang is still the arrogant Chu Yang in his bones, but he just kicked his fists and kicked him out of the department. No one would mess with him anymore, and he was happy to calm down for a few days.
Looking at Director Tang's text message, Chu Yang knew that Minister He in the ministry should have been calculating, and there might be shadows behind the Li family, but Chu Yang didn't think so much about it now. The Li family is kind to him, but Chu Yang also knew that they were interested in their potential and just used each other to make it more bluntly. As long as the Li family did not do anything out of the ordinary, Chu Yang was happy to use their power to do some things he needed to do in the secular world. As long as everyone can understand each other's bottom line, cooperation will definitely be very pleasant.
After Chu Yang replied to the text message, he looked at the time, and it should be about to start soon. The chief director Fang Wen and several deputy directors kept walking around the backstage, directing the staff to make the final preparations from time to time. Chu Yang didn't want to disturb them, so he stood up and walked towards the employees in his company.
Originally, Chu Yang only arranged for signing artists under the name of Mao Yishao and Zheng Jun to participate, but this happened temporarily. The actors stopped acting and hit Chu Yang's thoughts. He was originally thinking of the Spring Festival Gala, but now he met someone who gave him a pillow while sleeping. Huaxia Records actually helped him so much, and Chu Yang was really grateful to him.
Tonight, in addition to Mao Yishao and Zheng Jun, the new work "Silk Flower Rain" sung by Mao Yishao, Xiaoyan, Ding Ting and even Chu Yang himself will appear on stage in person. Xiaoyan's program is naturally a dance, a new dance that Chu Yang has arranged for her, called "Qingcheng". This dance was adapted by Chu Yang based on the "Dance Note" from the Five Continents. Although it is not aggressive, its appreciation is absolutely first-class. Speaking of which, although the Five Continents are a world of cultivation, the artistic achievements in this world are definitely not low. After all, those who can practice are all dragons and phoenixes among people. How can the song and dance that can be seen in their eyes be ordinary? However, in terms of the richness of artistic works, the Five Continents are far inferior to the earth. After all, the main energy of cultivators should still be focused on practice.
Wan'er's program is "New Song of the Herdsman" adapted by Chu Yang himself. This work that is popular among flute lovers has added many happy elements in the "Happy God Decision" under Chu Yang's adaptation, which is more than a level higher than the original work! Chu Yang believes that once this work appears at the evening party, it will definitely subvert the original work!
His program is a song "Bi Water Zen Sound" played with Grace Cheung, and a piano solo "My Motherland". Although one person participates in two programs at the same time, it is extremely rare on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Chu Yang was originally a topical figure at the forefront of the storm. Now that one person has two programs, it makes him look even more conspicuous!
When he stood up, many actors looked at him. There were various complex expressions in their eyes, and although they didn't say anything, Chu Yang also knew that he probably didn't have a good impression of himself, a "scrambler" in the hearts of these people at this moment.
The famous pianist Chen Lang was whispering the details of the program in the corner with the violinist Zhu Cong and the famous singer Chen Huan. As Chu Yang walked over, a strange look flashed in Chen Lang's eyes.
He hesitated for a moment, but stood up and walked towards Chu Yang.
Chu Yang also noticed this young pianist who is famous at home and abroad. Of course, if you talk about age, Chu Yang is younger than him, but in the field of piano, Chen Lang is a genius pianist who has been famous for many years. He is even called the "national treasure" level pianist in China. In contrast, Chu Yang's achievements and fame in the field of piano are very limited.
Chen Lang walked up to Chu Yang, looked at him with a smile, showing a very curious expression. He also saw news about Director Chu on the news on his mobile phone. At that time, he was just surprised at Chu Yang's youth, but when he saw the arrangement of the program list later, he could not calm down.
The stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Although it lasts for more than four hours, the actors are selected from top artists in the country, and the quota for each program is extremely precious. Even in order to take care of the balance, he could only act together with violinist Zhu Cong and singer Chen Huan. But Director Chu actually occupied two programs by himself. That's all, one of them is a piano solo?
If it is another field, Chen Lang wouldn't have paid much attention to it. But piano is the field he is most proud of. In this field, he has done his best with confidence, and looking at China, he dares to say that he is the well-deserved n.1!
If there can only be one piano solo on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Lang believes that it will be himself. Even on a larger stage than this, he has already performed solos one or two times!
He once performed piano solos at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, at the China Hall on National Day, at the Carnegie Concert Hall in the United States, and at the Golden Hall in Austria, and played many famous songs that have passed down from generation to generation!
If there can only be one artist on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, then it is Chen Lang, and there will be no second person!
But now, he saw a program that made him feel very dazzling on the Spring Festival Gala program list - the piano solo "My Motherland", performer: Chu Yang!
"My Motherland" is a very atmospheric patriotic song. It was the first episode in the movie "Shangganling". It has beautiful melody and magnificent momentum. It is not the first time that Chen Lang has collaborated on this song with the Huaxia Philharmonic Orchestra and many other orchestras at home and abroad. Of course, when he played, there was no so-called score. After all, this is just a song. Compared with the complex large and professional piano music he played, the difficulty is too low. He only needs to play a little bit to play the song well.
He also played this song in the White House in the United States. At that time, almost all Chinese people praised him on the Internet because he could play this patriotic music at the Center for Power in the United States!
But now, this piano solo appears again on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, but the performer is not him!
This made him feel really unacceptable.
Before this, he had imagined countless times what kind of person Director Chu was. In fact, before this, Chen Lang had heard this name once. It was the last time that he was not able to attend a party commemorating the massacre held at Renmin University of China for physical reasons. Later, he heard from the economic man that there seemed to be a pianist named Chu Yang who replaced him. It is said that the performance effect was very, very good.
Of course, Chen Lang did not pay much attention to this matter, otherwise he would not have listened to his economic people talking about it, because on the Internet, he could find the performance video of Chu Yang. But Chen Lang now basically only watches the performances of a few deceased piano masters such as Rubenstein, and he rarely watches the performances of others.
"Are you Chu Yang? I heard that you stole my job at a party not long ago." Chen Lang looked at Chu Yang in front of him and said half-jokingly.
Chu Yang also stopped, looked at Chen Lang in front of him, and smiled and shrugged, "Correction is not just a snatch of your job, but you didn't come to the scene because of illness, so I helped you save the scene. Speaking of which, you should thank me."
Chen Lang was stunned and then laughed. He thought Director Chu was really interesting.
"I saw you on the Internet. Are you really working in the Ministry of Culture? Or is it the director?" Chen Lang asked curiously. He was not so awe of Chinese officials. He was mainly because his current performances were mainly abroad. He was less affected by domestic influence. Unless he was at a certain level, Chen Lang didn't have to look at their eyes at all. This is the difference between a superstar and an ordinary star. Of course, with Chen Lang's current value, he can be regarded as the title of "artist".
"That's right. I'm in the music, dance and acrobatics." Chu Yang admitted generously. The press conference has been held, and there is nothing to say.
"You are really an interesting person. I think those officials are very serious and very cautious. You are not like them." Chen Lang said with a smile.
"I am not the same as them. For me, this identity is just a more convenient way to get in touch with art." Chu Yang looked at Chen Lang and said.
"You stole my place again today." Chen Lang looked at Chu Yang and said half-jokingly, but a look of insignificance flashed in his eyes.
When Chu Yang heard his words, he naturally captured his provocation. He calmly faced Chen Lang's gaze and said naturally: "This time it's not a snatch, it's the arrangement of the director team."
"Is that so? Where did Director Chu learn the piano?" Chen Lang asked casually.
"Qin Hai." Chu Yang said casually without thinking.
"Qin Hai? Is there a music school there?" Chen Lang frowned and thought for a while.
"It's West China Conservatory of Music." Chu Yang reminded with a smile.
"West China Conservatory of Music?" Chen Lang repeated the name and shook his head. He had heard of this academy, but he had never heard of anything special about the piano at West China Conservatory of Music?
He felt a little uncomfortable and didn't know what the director team was thinking.
Looking at Chu Yang again, Chen Lang said bluntly: "Chu Yang, I don't call you an official position anymore. Since everyone is playing piano, I hope to have the opportunity to discuss and communicate together."
Chen Lang said nothing wrong with this. But Chu Yang heard the provocation in his words. He felt the hostility of this "national treasure pianist". However, he didn't care about this. For him, it would be a rare experience if he had the opportunity to compete with this genius pianist. Although he had a deep understanding of piano, the other party had been practicing piano since he was a child and had been learning it for nearly thirty years. I believe that the competition with him would definitely gain a lot. As for the victory or defeat, it was not Chu Yang's consideration. For him, as long as it was useful to his joy!
"No problem, certainly. I think it's better to choose a day than to meet the day. It just so happens that the stage is on tonight. Both of our programs have pianos, so it's better tonight." Chu Yang said with a smile.
Chen Lang looked at Chu Yang with a strange look. He really couldn't imagine where did this young and gentle Director Chu have the courage to respond to his challenge so bluntly!
Of course he could not show weakness at this moment, so he smiled and asked, "I don't know how Director Chu wants to compete? My program is an ensemble, and yours is a solo. The difficulty of the two songs is also different. It seems a bit difficult to intervene like this."
"It's not difficult at all. Isn't there a selection of my favorite actors every Spring Festival Gala? Since we all play the piano, it's better to see how many votes you have," Chu Yang said with a smile.
"It's really direct enough!" Chen Lang smiled in his heart, and at the same time, a wave of challenge also surged out of control in his heart! In the piano field, there has been no such authority as this that dares to publicly provoke his own authority in many years!
He looked at Chu Yang, with a polite smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to Chu Yang and said, "This method is indeed good, I accept it!"
"One word is certain!" Chu Yang shook hands with Chen Lang with a smile and said seriously.
The two passed by. Chen Lang looked at Chu Yang's back who disappeared from the corner. After watching for a while, he returned to the place where he talked to the show with Zhu Cong and Chen Huan.
"Why did you go?" Chen Huan looked at Chen Lang back and asked with a smile. Among the three, he is the oldest and the eldest brother of the Chinese music scene. Both partners respect him very much, and he also likes these two artists who have made outstanding achievements in their respective art fields. In his opinion, whether it is vocal music or instrumental music, as long as they touch the threshold of "Tao", they can touch the supreme musical realm, and as long as they reach this level, they can call the word "home". Just like he was originally just singing popular, but over the years, there have been countless classic works, so he naturally deserves the word "singer". And these two people, in his opinion, can definitely deserve the word "home" in their respective fields!
Especially Chen Lang, both his surname is Chen, who plays the piano well and looks energetic. She is young, and Chen Huan admires him very much.
"I just saw Chu Yang and went over to chat with him for a while." Chen Lang looked at Chen Huan and asked casually.
"Chu Yang? Do you know each other?" Chen Huan asked strangely when he heard Chen Lang speak of this name.
"I don't know each other, I'm just a little curious. He also has a piano tonight and also a solo, but he stole my job." Chen Lang said with a savor.
"Haha, are you feeling uncomfortable? It's okay, I'll introduce you to you two if you have the chance. I've been in contact with Chu Yang, and I'm pretty good." Chen Huan said with a laugh, but he remembered the fact that he called him to participate in the Chinese Voice. Unexpectedly, not long after, this guy actually came to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again. It's so terrifying young man!
At the same time, he also felt a little curious about Chu Yang. This guy is playing the piano again now, and he seems to always bring new surprises to people. I wonder what kind of performance he will bring tonight.
Thinking about the news about Chu Yang that I saw on the Internet before, Chen Huan suddenly became a little expectant! It will be continued
Chapter completed!
