Perfect Life

On the afternoon of December 23, Songjiang Prefecture, Shanghai County.

Inside the No. 1 studio hall of the headquarters building of Dragon Star, there is a busy scene.

There are more than 20 camera positions on the booms that stretch out one by one, all of which are aimed at the huge central stage. In addition, there are four orbital positions on the stage, and ten more under the stage. Several people carry cameras, ready to capture various shots.

The stage has been fully set up. Except for a few big stars, most of the singers, actors, dancers, and hosts are already waiting in the background. The audience is sparsely sitting and standing, mostly working. Among the staff, a small number were reporters from Dragon TV's internal news channel and variety channel, and there were no viewers at all.

That's right, here is the rehearsal scene of Dragon Star TV's annual New Year's Eve Song Party.

In the domestic entertainment and variety show circles, there are four most important large-scale parties throughout the year.

Among them, Huaxia TV's Spring Festival Gala has the largest number of guests, the highest style, and unparalleled ratings. However, it is a comprehensive party, and it has a strong government-run nature. That is forty to forty-five minutes. Even at that party, the military singers had more status than the pop singers, because they played the main theme and closely followed the government's accent.

So this party is very difficult to attend.

Either your work has been really popular in the past year, and if you don't get it, people all over the country have opinions, or you have the positive energy that your work is excellent and also meets the needs of national propaganda, otherwise, you will be old. Honestly, let's mix up the coffee positions in the circle first. Wait until you get to the level of Liu Mingliang and Zhen Zhen. Even if I want to release a new song, I want to use the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to promote it. They are often very welcome too.

The forty or so minutes reserved for the pop music scene at the Spring Festival Gala are roughly divided into two parts, each of which is about twenty minutes long. The first one is the solo singing reserved for the big stars, which is about six or seven songs, usually three or four male singers, and two or three female singers - this position, ordinary singers don't even think about it. of.

As for the rest of the piece, it is the concert of pop songs. A song can be roughly divided into one minute, and the twenty-minute time is divided into three sections, each section has five to six songs, and together it is probably fifteen, sixteen to seventeen or eighteen people - this is the vast majority of records. The place where the company has to work **** public relations is also an important battlefield for ordinary second-tier and third-tier singers.

As long as the song is good and you are on this stage, you don't have to worry about not being popular!

So it is conceivable that there are only so many positions, even if you break your head, you will be able to get the position in the end. Just so many people.

And if the rest of the people want to use this kind of nationally-focused large-scale party for publicity, they have to play the idea of ​​the remaining three.

After the Spring Festival Gala. Turning over the new year, it is the Dragon Boat Festival Gala of Hunan TV Station. This party ranks at the bottom of the four major parties in ratings, but it is still not to be underestimated, because the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival in May just means that the annual summer sale time is coming soon. , Therefore, those who want to promote movies and new songs and new albums are also crowded together.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, there is the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala of Shuntian Satellite TV.

The style of this party is very high, but the ratings are only slightly higher than that of the Dragon Boat Festival, so for most singers, it is a bit tasteless: the artistic conception of the song, the standard, and the horse are very demanding, not good At the same time, the publicity effect after going up at the same time may not be much better.

Of course, that also depends on the person.

For folk singers and folk singers, this style of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is simply too suitable for their appetite, needless to say, get together and squeeze up!

After the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, it is the New Year's New Year's New Year Song Party of Dragon Star TV.

Unlike the other three parties, which are comprehensive parties, this New Year's Eve song party is purely for singers, and more than 90% of the performance time will definitely be reserved for the pop music world!

Therefore, although in the mainstream media, it has always been considered too low-style, but it has to be said that since its first session, it has always been the most popular and sought after party for young people. In terms of ratings, it is also 2nd place!

Therefore, it is conceivable that there are new songs to be released, and new albums to be promoted. The albums have been sold for several months, and they need to come here to brush their presence and strive for more selling points, including those who have not shown much recently, but The next album will be released and new songs will be released, so come here ahead of time and get familiar with it... With all these things, almost the entire pop music world will become restless.

Even to a certain extent, the people who have shown their faces at this party roughly determine the trend of the domestic music scene in the next year!

And now, December 23rd, is the first rehearsal of this New Year's Eve.

At this time, in the dozens of preparation rooms at the back of the stage, most of the living forces of the current domestic music scene were gathered. Among them, there is a preparation room that belongs to Wuxingwusu.

There are still 20 minutes before the rehearsal. According to the arrangement of the program team, they will appear in the second hour and 20 minutes, so in fact, there is still plenty of time, but at this time, a few girls are already early. After putting on makeup and styling, they just concentrate on waiting for the playing time - on this stage, they are not farts. During the rehearsal, the big coffee can completely do not make up, do not do styling, the bigger coffee They didn't even come to the first rehearsal, but they had to be fully armed lest they make any bad impression on anyone.

At this moment, I have to say that the five girls are very nervous.

The preparation area of ​​dozens of rooms in this corridor created by Dragon Star TV is only separated by partitions. The sound insulation effect is not good. Even if you hide in your own preparation room, you can still keep going. I can hear all kinds of movements from everywhere - talking, laughing, walking, and of course, guitar and singing.

In short, it is like a large vegetable market, everyone shouts to everyone.

In such an environment, five girls who came to Dragon Star TV for the first time. Naturally, the tension is doubled.

The rehearsal is about to begin. as a singer. Common sense is not to eat or drink indiscriminately before the performance is about to start. Even if your throat is really dry, you can only sip a few small sips to moisten your throat.

If it is an experienced old singer, he can sing and sing at will with a guitar, stretch his throat, he can also pull the manager or producer to gossip to relax, or you can even go to other singers you know Go to the door, everyone sits together for a while, talking about the past. Time has passed.

But the Five Elements are not enough.

Although they have already released an album, they are not newcomers, but they have never made any achievements, so they are not enough to make any decent friends in the circle, and to be honest, they Nervous, and there is no mood to pull people to chat at all - the five of them, plus the manager Sister Wu, are stuffy in a small room of more than ten square meters. They don't even want to speak, let alone looking for outsiders?

so. It's noisy outside, quiet inside.

The morning was fine. Before we came, everyone seemed to be relaxed, but when we got here, Zhou Pingping was nervous and had a stomachache, and even after several trips to the toilet, Sun Ruoxuan kept swallowing saliva. You asked her, she said I had a dry throat, but after taking a few sips of water, she continued to have a dry throat.

Sima Duoduo is better, but she is sweating all the time. It is very cold. Although the air conditioner is on in the room, which is 17 or 18 degrees, she is sweating all the time in her thin costume. Wipe your hands with a towel every few minutes, but if you shake her hand, you can bring back a sweat at any time...

Xie Bing is a little better than her, and people don't talk about it, so she wears headphones and keeps her lips open and closed, but the volume of the headphones is so loud that you can hear it from a few meters away. .

As for Wang Jingxue... well, she's probably the only one who can at least remain calm on the surface. After discovering everyone's nervousness, she chose to sit on the sofa in the corner by herself, then closed her eyes and started to rest.

In fact, they all know in their hearts that they don't need to be so nervous at all, this is just a rehearsal, and there will be a rehearsal and two official recordings later! And this party is not a live broadcast. In theory, as long as there are two official recordings, they can have a good performance. When the party is broadcast, the audience will see their best side. .

But... no, everyone is just uncontrollably nervous.

Because of the new album, and because of this party.

Their second album "Sister and Sister Stand Up" will be officially released nationwide on December 26th. For this album, whether it is the attitude given by the company after the audition, or the self-feeling of the girls in Wuxingwusu, they all have great confidence in its future market sales prospects.

Needless to say, there are several fast songs headed by "Sister and Sister Stand Up" and "Happy Baby". In the words of producer Li Jinlong, the domestic market is not without fast songs and dance music, but no one has no works that can really win. The market agrees, and now, hearing these songs, I think the market for Kuaige is about to open!

You can see how much he trusts those songs!

Even those slow songs, that is, those songs that Li Qian said could make them recognized by the mainstream media and music critics, after the audition of the album within the company, the company's music director Du Xiaoming also He said to them with excitement: If you can get a song like "Farewell" and sing this work for the first time, in about 50 years, your name will still be remembered by many people!

You think, it's all like this, Li Qian's works, coupled with the high recognition and praise of so many authoritative musicians in the company, even if they were not very confident at first, don't they have to increase their confidence at this time?

However, the company said that although the company is very optimistic about their album and has great expectations for the market prospects of this album, considering their past market position, it is impossible for the company to directly regard them as a front-line after all. Celebrities spend money on publicity like that, so, after internal discussions, in the promotion and release of the new album, the company decided to spend all the money on the Dragon Star TV New Year's Eve Song Party...

Therefore, they, who were not qualified anyway, were able to get the performance time of two songs at this party, adding up to more than seven minutes, and it was still at ten o'clock in the evening when it was broadcast. A good time period.

But such a desperate propaganda strategy means that they have only one way to go to Huashan. If they become popular through the New Year's Day party, there is nothing to say. If they don't become popular, they will worry about themselves.

Let the company continue to spend money on publicity? Not entirely impossible! But the question is, around New Year's Day, what other publicity can be compared to singing for seven minutes at Dragon Star TV's New Year's Eve singing party?

And as we all know, after the New Year's Day party, if you are popular, you will be popular, and if you are not popular, you will not be popular. As long as you are not popular, people don't pay extra attention to you. Then, when the whole country and society begin to move towards the rhythm of the New Year after New Year's Day, Even if you are at the level of Tianwang and Tianhou, it is very difficult to get good sales results during this time period. However, after the Spring Festival, it is the turn of those songs on the Spring Festival Evening to become popular in the streets and alleys!

So, it's a last stand!

Time passed very slowly and quickly, and the corridor outside was still noisy. It seemed that there was a visitor in the next room. The two male singers laughed out loud when they talked about their happiness...

Finally, the rehearsal officially began.

Then, finally, the program team knocked on the door to remind them that it was their turn to play in half an hour, so prepare immediately, and go backstage to wait ten minutes later.

So, the sisters stood up all at once, with a stiff face and a look as if they were about to go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder—Zhou Pingping still had a stomachache, Sun Ruoxuan still had a dry throat and wanted to drink water, and Sima Duoduo continued to sweat.

The agent, Sister Wu, comforted a few words, and then their producer Li Jinlong arrived just in time to comfort and encourage a few more words, which made the five girls feel a little better and their tension eased somewhat.

Before going out to wait, Xie Bing finally plucked up the courage to speak, "Sisters, don't be nervous, let's sing well, don't let down the hard work of the past few months, and don't let down the hard work that Mr. Li Qian has done for us. !"

Sima Duoduo clenched his fists fiercely, "Well, don't be nervous! We will be popular! Our songs will be welcomed by everyone!"

Even Wang Jingxue spoke calmly, "Liao Liao took Li Qian's five songs, each of which was a hit, and eight of our new albums are his works! We have to believe in ourselves and in him!"

So, the five sisters stretched out their hands one after another, held them together solemnly, and shouted in unison, "Come on!"

…………

After all, when the staff of the program team came to tell you that "the next group is you"~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The five girls were still very nervous, and Sun Ruoxuan's voice was almost too nervous to speak. Now, Zhou Pingping even looked like she was about to cry. The sisters held hands and clenched each other tightly, as if they could transmit their strength in that way!

Then, the time has come.

The music of the previous song stopped, and the host came on stage and began to introduce their group Wuxingwusu. Then they saw the staff wave to them and then pointed to the stage.

It's their turn.
