The climax of the Spring Festival is New Year's Eve, which is the last day of the year and "the day when the month ends and the year ends", so it is also called "New Year's Eve".
On this day, every household in China hangs lanterns, puts up Spring Festival couplets, makes dumplings with coins, and sets off firecrackers.
On the eve of the New Year's Eve, the tourists who return home gather with their parents to have a drink, eat New Year's Eve dinner, and share family happiness.
And Chen Minhao was making final preparations for the performance of "Blue and White Porcelain" backstage in the National Channel studio.
Fortunately, Chen's parents and Chen's mother were not far from Chen Minhao. They were sitting in the third row of the Spring Festival Gala waiting for their son's performance.
Next to Chen Ma, there sat an old woman with a somewhat reserved look - Sister-in-law Wu. She is Chen Qiang's mother. Chen Qiang's father died in a mine when Chen Qiang was young. Sister-in-law Wu raised Chen Qiang by herself.
Chen's mother was extremely happy and proud when she learned that Chen Minhao was performing in the spring evening show and had obtained two tickets in the first row.
However, Chen’s mother also learned: Chen Qiang cannot go home during this year’s Spring Festival, and he needs to take care of Chen Minhao in Kyoto.
Chen’s mother insisted that Chen Minhao find a way to exchange the two tickets in the first row for three tickets in the third row. Ask Sister-in-law Wu to come to Kyoto to celebrate the Spring Festival.
After Chen Qiang found out about this, he didn't say any words of thanks and just went to the kitchen to make soup silently.
He hid his gratitude in his heart and boiled it in the soup.
Due to the confidentiality of Chen Minhao's performance of the song "Blue and White Porcelain", he did not come to the backstage rehearsals of the national stage very often. Even when he comes to rehearsal, it's a process every time.
Just like last year's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, although there were many big-name celebrities, everyone was relatively friendly. No big-name behavior can be seen in the background. Everyone behaves very much in line with the core values of society.
There were quite a few changes at last year's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, which gave Mr. Chen the opportunity to "show his talents." But before the Spring Festival Gala started this time, there were no disturbances.
Chen Minhao was very disappointed with this. He now needed something to divert his attention and relieve a little bit of his nervousness.
Chen Minhao saw Yao Yiyi coming over with makeup on. She was wearing a dark blue skirt suit today, which made her look a little more elegant and dignified.
Yao Yiyi looked Chen Minhao up and down, and praised: "You are very handsome today! It reminds me of a saying, a gangster and a gentleman should never be idle."
It was the first time that Chen Minhao heard someone praise himself with a line from a poem. He was stunned for a moment and responded politely: "You are also very beautiful today."
Yao Yiyi smiled happily: "Thank you, I will sing the song "Later" seriously later."
Chen Minhao nodded and said nothing.
During rehearsals, Chen Minhao listened to Yao Yiyi singing several times. She and her own version each have their own differences and sound different.
In fact, if Yao Yiyi asked Chen Minhao to write a song now, although Chen Minhao would not give her a top-notch song, he probably would not refuse and might give her a salivating song.
After all, people have spent a lot of time and energy helping Chen Minhao, and asking for a song in return is not too much.
Chen Minhao read a historical novel in his previous life, and there was a sentence in it: One cannot be so selfish as to think that others are not selfish.
Chen Minhao thought so.
After the two said hello, Chen Minhao sat in his seat and began to wait.
Chen Minhao's program "Blue and White Porcelain" was scheduled before midnight, which was regarded as the finale.
There was a large screen in the waiting area backstage, showing the Spring Festival Gala evening.
Although Chen Minhao had already seen all the content during the rehearsal. But looking at it now, it’s still a different feeling.
The first program is the opening dance. The main performers are selected from the Youth Art Palace across the country. They are young but skilled in movement. The accompaniment is a mix of several songs. Overall, they are full of energy.
The second program is a dance category. The choreography is based on the Mogao Grottoes, with the surrounding ceiling rotating, clouds floating, and the exciting music and dance integrated into one.
Dance is a combination of strength and beauty. The audience in the audience looked at it in a daze. They had never expected that dance could be so soul-stirring.
During the rehearsal, Chen Minhao even said hello to them and exchanged contact information, which made these dancers feel flattered.
Although they are not used now, they may be used in the shooting of a music video for a certain song in the future, or as backup dancers in concerts. Things like relationships cannot be used until the beginning.
The third program is a sketch, a hot phenomenon, more daring than ever.
"Later" Chen Minhao found that Yao Yiyi's eyes filled with tears when she sang, which was indeed good.
The stage of the Spring Festival Gala was even more gorgeous, and even patterns were projected on the ceiling of the studio.
There are fewer sketch programs, but the quality has improved. Although Chen Minhao had seen one of the sketches, he still laughed out loud.
Time passed minute by minute, the twelve days were approaching, and Chen Minhao was finally about to make his debut.
The main control room of the Spring Festival Gala has nearly twenty monitoring screens.
Zhang Xushan held a tea cup and directed the overall situation.
"Unit 9?"
"Director Zhang, I'm here."
"When Chen Minhao comes on stage, remember to give him a close-up. Nowadays, little girls are all pretty."
"Okay, director."
"Lao Lu?"
"I am here."
"The holographic projection equipment that had problems a few days ago has been replaced."
"Director Zhang, you have asked me three times today. I have personally confirmed the equipment no less than ten times and there is nothing wrong with it."
Although the Spring Festival Gala's ratings have been the highest in the past three years, no one on the staff of the Spring Festival Gala has a relaxed expression.
When it comes to using the trump card, the feeling of worrying about gains and losses becomes heavier.
Chen Minhao came on stage.
Different from previous concerts, when Chen Minhao took the stage, although there was warm applause from the audience, there were no crazy cheers.
Tickets for the Spring Festival Gala are not sold randomly like tickets for concerts. The audience in the audience includes officials, workers, teachers, students, and family members of the performers.
If these people have anything in common, it’s that they all have some kind of “connection”. Either they got their tickets through company connections, or they had personal connections. After all, on-site tickets for the Spring Festival Gala are not given casually.
As for the audience in front of the TV sets in thousands of households across China, they are not as calm as the live audience.
A newlywed couple.
"Honey, Chen Minhao is about to appear. You can do the washing up later."
"Honey, I only have two more bowls to finish washing."
"Honey, come quickly, this is Chen Minhao! If you don't come, your monthly pocket money will change from 500 to 400 in the new year."
"Here we come, wife."
A family of three.
Mother: "Okay, Juan'er, I've finished going to the toilet. You go and use it."
Daughter: "No, I have to wait until I watch Chen Minhao's performance before I go."
Mother: "Hey, aren't you in a hurry now? Then you were urging me just now?"
Daughter: "Chen Minhao is coming on the stage and he will sing a new song. Mom, please shut up and stop talking."
The mother rolled up her sleeves and walked in to her daughter: "You kid, don't think I won't beat you during the Chinese New Year."
The daughter stood up quickly: "Dear mother, I was wrong, but for the sake of your daughter, can you keep quiet for a while?"
Mother: "No."
My mother said she couldn't, but her body was honest and she sat on the sofa, waiting for Chen Minhao's performance.
In the middle of the stage, the halo dispersed around, and Chen Minhao's figure gradually became clear.
Chen Minhao wore a dark gray short Hanfu, with shoulder patterns wrapping around the chest to perfectly embellish the body.
At first glance, as the saying goes, he is a humble gentleman, as gentle as jade.
The moment the music started playing, Chen Minhao was completely engaged in the performance, and the holographic projection equipment was also turned on.
The stage seemed to have turned into a hazy Jiangnan ink landscape.
The audience who were originally present under the stage could no longer remain calm.
"Is it really raining on the stage?"
"Damn it, this stage effect is a bit awesome!"
"Oh, I bought it! The effect is too realistic!"
ε(>灬<)з. . . I really didn't get up in the morning. .
