Li Mu burst out laughing when he received a call from Director Xu.
Before, I was worried about not enough singers willing to participate, but now I am worried about too many singers willing to participate.
It's like one moment you were so poor to fill your stomach, and the next moment you have all the good food and dishes from all over the world in front of you to choose from. You want to eat more, but your appetite is not that big and you can't swallow so much.
Li Mu also felt that it was a pity. After all, there were many first-tier singers and quasi-first-tier singers among them. They wanted to participate in this show. With them, the influence of this show could be further enhanced. In fact, both parties can get what they need and benefit each other. It's mutually beneficial, but the duration of this party is limited and no more time can be squeezed out.
However, if you think about it carefully, the song "Love Each Other and Family" is still very suitable for a chorus. This song has the same nature as "Welcome to Yanjing", even one sentence from each person is enough.
In the song "Welcome to Yanjing", each of the best singers is assigned a line of lyrics, the chorus stage, and even one line of lyrics requires three or four singers to sing together. However, this arrangement does not allow the singers to They were dissatisfied, because even if they could just show their face for such a significant song, it would be a great thing, and no singer would refuse it.
Although this party is not as significant as the Centenary Olympics, it is definitely unprecedented at the moment. In this way, "Love and Family" can achieve the effect of "Yenjing Welcomes You". In this case, just invite a big party A group of celebrities will appear on stage to sing together, and it will be ensured that every participating singer will have a chance to show their face, and a subtitle reminder will be given in the live TV signal when they show their face, for example: "Qi Qin (Taiwan)".
If they accept this arrangement, they can participate in the party. If they don't accept it, it doesn't matter. At least the TV station has provided a solution, and Director Xu will not be able to offend everyone in the entertainment industry.
Moreover, in order to accommodate more singers in this song, Li Mu was willing to further compress his singing part in this song and give more time to other singers. On the other hand, he also reminded Xu The director can find a way to squeeze out two minutes of performance time and add the length of the chorus to the song.
In other words, the song should be lengthened and the chorus should be sung several more times. Moreover, it is easiest to loop the chorus as long as each loop increases by one key based on the previous loop, that is, the key is changed. Raise it by one degree, and then arrange it according to the different vocal range characteristics of the singers, so that you can sing the chorus at least three or five times more, and finally end it with a group of high-pitched singers who can sing High-C or even High-D and E. As the pitch goes up, the audience's adrenaline will skyrocket as the pitch soars. Not only will the audience not feel bored, but it will make the audience more excited.
Li Mu remembered that Lin Yilian once used a aria in a variety show to show off her singing ability by constantly raising the key. Although the same line was sung repeatedly, the pitch became higher and higher, and the host and the audience were all excited. Not only did it not feel boring at all, but it left behind the reputation of Lin Yilian as a super capable singer.
Moreover, despite the fact that the duration is only increased by two minutes, in these two minutes, at least dozens more celebrities can be accommodated on the stage. By then, there will be more than a hundred singers singing on the stage, and they will just grab two or three from there. A well-known singer who can hold a singing party has such momentum that no one else can.
Director Xu also thinks Li Mu’s solution is very good. Since he doesn’t have the ability to swallow all the delicacies from all over the world, he might as well try something new. More than a hundred singers singing one song can not only solve the problem of singers The appeal can also elevate this performance to another level.
So Director Xu immediately arranged for co-ordinating to further squeeze the stage time, making sure to leave two minutes, and then immediately contacted the management companies and agents of major singers and told them: After consultation with Li Mu, Li Mu is willing to put himself Half of the song "Love and Family" is given to other singers, and then an additional half is added. In this way, the space left for these singers is at least about four minutes, even if it is divided among a hundred people. enough.
Director Xu thought that such a solution would make many big-name singers give up, but unexpectedly, almost all the singers he contacted agreed to it.
Now for these singers, it is no longer time to measure how long they can be on stage or how long they can show. There is only one thing in their minds, they must try their best to participate in this performance. In the entertainment industry, celebrities Position is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. When others are moving forward, no one dares to stop.
…
Two days later, the party officially rehearsed, and the entire CCTV studio was filled with well-known singers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.
Before the rehearsal, there were already 178 confirmed guests for the entire party, including 100 singers from mainland China and 78 singers from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
It is said that more than a hundred singers were declined by Director Xu. The main reason for the refusal was that the stage of the CCTV studio could not bear the capacity. When more than three hundred singers played one song, the stage would not be able to stand at all.
In the past two days, on every plane coming to Beijing from Hong Kong and Taiwan, there will be at least one well-known singer from Hong Kong and Taiwan. They rush here just to participate in this anti-SARS charity gala hosted by CCTV.
It is worth mentioning that all the participating singers rejected the appearance fee offered by CCTV and participated in the party voluntarily. At the same time, they also expressed their willingness to donate to CCTV, so CCTV set up a donation channel specifically for these stars. Channel, as of the rehearsal, the total donation amount of these 178 singers has exceeded 60 million yuan, but Leslie Cheung and Mei Yanfang each donated 10 million yuan.
The stronger the star lineup of the show, the more resources CCTV will invest in this show. Almost all CCTV channels are using every opportunity to promote this party and pave the way for this party.
The total duration of this party was more than three and a half hours, of which the performance lasted for two and a half hours, with a total of twenty-eight songs. Except for "Love in the Family" sung by Li Mu and other singers, all the rest were It is the signature song of each singer, and it can be said to be a large-scale concert composed entirely of classic songs.
The first hour of the party was to report on the progress of the SARS epidemic and the heroes who emerged in the fight against SARS. At the same time, each invited entrepreneur took the stage to complete their speeches and donation sessions. After this session, the performance session began. .
"Love and Family" was arranged as the last song because it was a group chorus.
Li Mu participated in the rehearsal that lasted for more than four hours. All the invited singers and entrepreneurs arrived at the CCTV studio on time. In the studio that smelled faintly of disinfectant, all the actors followed the instructions set by the program team in an orderly manner. Rhythm-by-beat rehearsal.
All the singers participating in the rehearsal arrived at the recording studio in advance and sat in the audience seats below. Unlike the usual rehearsals for large-scale performances, the first-line singers either did not come at all, and even if they did come, they would only come on their own time and perform their own shows. Leave as soon as the rehearsal is over.
Some of these singers are waiting for rehearsals, some are chatting with familiar singers, and some are busy making new friends. The independent lounges backstage of CCTV are limited and can only provide independent lounges for some top-tier singers, but Zhang Guorong and Mei Yan Fang was the first to decline this special treatment and chose to be in the audience with other singers. Therefore, other singers who could be assigned to independent lounges also declined this benefit. Everyone sat under the stage and looked around. The scene is so spectacular.
Zhang Guorong lamented that even at the Golden Melody Awards in Hong Kong and Taiwan, there were not such a large number of stars, and the surrounding singers took it seriously.
This is the first time that the music circles on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places have held such a large-scale cooperation. This is something that even the Golden Melody Awards cannot match.
Ten minutes before the rehearsal started, Li Mu also came to the scene. He also refused the lounge provided by CCTV and went directly to the studio hall and came to the audience to face the singers.
Seeing Li Mu coming, the singers who were chatting instantly fell silent. Although they were stars and big shots, in front of Li Mu, none of them felt that they were big shots. On the contrary, in their eyes, Li Mu He is the only super big shot among so many people.
I don’t know who took the lead in shouting: “Hello, Mr. Li!”
So everyone looked at Li Mu in unison and shouted in unison: "Hello, Mr. Li!"
Li Mu was slightly shocked by everyone's unanimous voice, then smiled lightly, bowed to everyone, and said very seriously: "Although I am an invited guest like everyone else, and it is not my turn to thank you, but I I still want to say thank you to everyone, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this party."
More than a hundred celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places applauded. Some of them regarded Li Mu as their idol, while others regarded him as a rich man. Some even regarded him as a financial sponsor and a super boss who could influence the entire entertainment industry. , but no matter what their mood, these celebrities respect Li Mu from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Mu also wants everyone to know that he is a grateful person. You respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot. Although today's performance is organized by the Yangma Group, for Li Mu, everyone can come and participate in this performance. A performance deserves your own respect and gratitude.
This time, everyone put aside their work and came to this party voluntarily. A considerable part of the reason was also the influence of Li Mu. Everyone is very clear about Li Mu’s patriotic sentiments and national sentiments. If you attend this party, you will be better in the future. Once connected with Li Mu's entertainment projects, he can also use this to win some favor from Li Mu. As soon as Li Mu arrived at the recording studio, he immediately bowed and thanked all the singers, which also confirmed everyone's judgment in their hearts.
In this way, everyone is thinking about trying their best to make this party the best!
