Start with a pop song

Chapter 172 Schrodinger's Spring Festival Gala
I walked out the door, got outside, and got on a large minibus.

Song Dao knew this kind of car and often saw it on the news.

It is not luxurious inside, but it is very spacious and has various administrative office facilities.

After the car door was closed and the car started, Zhou Qian explained to the two people: "It's like this, the leader of the department wants to see you."

Song Dao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Publicity?"

Zhou Qian was a little surprised, and looked at Song Dao and joked, "If I, as your elder sister, didn't know you well, I would have doubted whether you were born in that small town in the northeast."

This kid, how come he knows everything?

Lin Fei's beautiful eyes were also on Song Dao. To be honest, if Song Dao hadn't said those two words, she wouldn't have thought of it.

"Director Zhou..."

"There's no outsider here, so call me sister." Zhou Qian looked at Lin Fei with a smile.

"Sister, is it not okay for me to go?" Lin Fei asked.

If she had known that she was going to meet such a high-ranking leader, she would definitely not have come out no matter what.

"It's okay. The boss also likes the song you're going to sing tomorrow night!" Zhou Qian said with a smile, "He praised you a lot."

In fact, in theory, it is indeed possible not to bring Lin Fei with him.

But she is somewhat selfish.

I want to let this girl, who has suffered a lot of grievances in the past few years, show her face in front of her leader and leave a good impression.

Although Lin Fei is not young, she is like those actresses in the entertainment industry who are in their fifties but look like they are in their early twenties.

God seems to have special mercy on these people.

Be extra gentle to them.

They are reluctant to let the years leave any trace on their eyebrows and eyes.

If Lin Fei could just control her aura, change her clothes, and blend into the university campus, she would definitely be a pure and innocent girl.

Therefore, Zhou Qian is quite optimistic and hopes that this girl, who has always been clean since her debut, can have a good ending with her brother.

Except she'd also seen another one.

Yan Yu, who is known as the goddess in red, seems to have a little ambiguity with her younger brother.

She didn't intend to get involved. She just wanted to let young people solve their own problems.

No matter who her brother is with, she will give him her most sincere blessings.

Lin Fei was somewhat nervous and a little regretful.

Seeing her look, Song Dao took out a piece of candy and handed it to her quietly.

Lin Fei glanced at it and took it calmly.

When I put it in my mouth, it still had that familiar slightly sweet taste, and my heart suddenly calmed down.

She doesn't think it's the effect of sugar.

Just think of it as the reason given by Teacher Song.

……

"Minister Zhang, I've invited Song Dao to come over to you, and I've also brought the Queen of Heaven with me."

"Lin Fei, Song Dao, this is the executive vice minister of the ministry."

in the office.

Zhou Qian introduced both parties with a smile.

Minister Zhang is a kind-faced, elegant-looking old man who appears to be in his fifties.

With a kind smile on his face.

He first politely shook hands with Lin Fei, then let go.

"I've heard the song you sang. It was so good. It moved me to tears!"

Lin Fei said softly: "Thank you for the compliment, leader."

Minister Zhang then shook hands with Song Dao again. This time, not only did he shake hands more forcefully, he also covered his hand with his other hand.

The attitude is quite enthusiastic.

"Xiao Song, Teacher Song, thank you! You really helped us a lot this time. If it weren't for you, we would be at a loss!"

"Leader, you are too kind. Director Zhou is very good to me and gets along very well with Mr. Sheng. It is reasonable and logical for me to do this."

Song is humble and polite.

"Come, sit down, sit down and talk."

Minister Zhang's office is simple, clean and tidy, and not too big.

Song Dao, Lin Fei and Zhou Qian sat on the long sofa, almost filling it up.

Minister Zhang sat on the single sofa.

At this time, someone brought tea.

Minister Zhang smiled at Song Dao and Lin Fei and said, "Have some tea. The place is a bit crowded, don't mind."

Song Dao smiled.

This is a place where countless people who want to pursue a career in politics never have the chance to come in once in their lifetime.

Although the house is small, the "space" is infinite!

After a few brief greetings, Minister Zhang got straight to the point.

"I asked Xiao Zhou to invite you here because I have something else to trouble you with. Also, I want to meet you, a young talent."

Song Dao nodded slightly and kept smiling.

Minister Zhang went on to say, "This year is the Year of the Horse. Didn't you just create a song called "Horse Racing" a while ago? I've heard it. It's very good. It has a strong national style, is passionate, and is not only majestic, but also well-paced."

Zhou Qian took over the conversation with a smile, and glanced at Song Dao and Lin Fei: "My boss criticized me, saying that I had such a good song, why didn't I release it earlier? I was too busy."

Minister Zhang nodded and said, "It's not easy for Xiao Zhou either. She has to take care of such a large number of things and so many people. She needs to coordinate them. So it's not her fault. Even if we add a program like this temporarily, it's very stressful for you.

It is especially difficult when the final rehearsal has ended and you have two programs.

So I would like to ask for your opinion in person. If you have any concerns, you can raise them.

We will try our best to find a solution to it.”

That being said, at this time, she asked Sister Zhou to invite him over so solemnly and discuss this matter in person, which clearly shows that she takes it very seriously!
And the one who really wants to listen to this song may not be the Deputy Minister Zhang in front of him...

As I said, the Spring Festival Gala may seem like an evening party, but it contains too many political tasks and factors.

Not to mention that this in itself will increase his exposure, it may even make him a "god" in this Spring Festival Gala.

Even if not, could he refuse such a mission?
Especially since they give so much face.

To say that I'm flattered is no exaggeration.

He immediately stood up and said seriously, "I have no problem. I promise to follow the leader's arrangements and Director Zhou's instructions."

"Haha, no need to be so serious."

When Minister Zhang saw Song Dao's straightforward statement, the smile on his face suddenly became even brighter.

In fact, they have no way to deal with many things.

The final program list has been submitted and will be released tomorrow.

Then suddenly I received a call and asked why "Horse Racing", such a good song, was not on the list?

Minister Zhang was sweating all over his forehead at that time.

He was so busy all day that he had never even heard what the song "Horse Racing" was!
He quickly asked someone to find the song and listened to it, and at the same time pulled Zhou Qian, who was busy as a madman, over to ask her.

Zhou Qian had heard of it before, but she never thought about it that way.

You really can’t say that my elder sister doesn’t have the IQ.

She is too busy too!

I haven't been eating or sleeping well for many days in a row.

I can only sleep three or four hours a day at most.

If you don’t dye your hair, there will be large patches of white!

Especially when the incident with Mr. Sheng happened, I felt even more worried.

All that’s left is for medical staff to watch over those old artists 24 hours a day.

If anything unexpected happens again, my mentality will explode.

So I didn’t even think about it.

Until Minister Zhang came to her, and then the two of them had a private chat.

It's also quite helpless...

But there is no other way. I have been told to do it by my superiors, so I have to do it no matter how difficult it is!

Netizens always joke about the donkey in the production team.

Zhou Qian knew very well that this time it all depended on her younger brother Song Dao.

I know better how stressful this kind of thing is.

It is an honor to be on the Spring Festival Gala.

Put on three shows...that's like roasting on a fire!

If anything goes wrong, there will be a barrage of criticism.

So asking Song to perform on the Spring Festival Gala was initially to give her brother a chance, but now it has become like she owes her brother a favor.

Must keep it in mind.

The few of them didn't stay here for too long. Minister Zhang's schedule was extremely full, and so were the others.

On the way back, Song Dao asked Zhou Qian.

"Sister, do we have to rehearse right away?"

Zhou Qian nodded: "Before we came, I had already invited the principals of the National Symphony Orchestra, Liu Min and Zhao Fei, as well as erhu masters Liu Liang and Li Jun. Anyway, you have worked together before, and you are all masters, so it shouldn't be a problem to get used to each other."

In fact, everyone understands that there is definitely no problem technically.

The biggest problem lies in mentality.

I don’t know if those veteran artists can handle this kind of job that requires them to take on an emergency task.

Zhou Qian looked at him: "I will be the first one on this show!"

Song Dao asked, "What about the original one?"

Zhou Qian sighed: "Take it down and put it on the Lantern Festival Gala on the 15th."

Song Dao and Lin Fei also sighed in unison.

I feel a bit sorry for the actors in that song medley show.

After so much effort and hard rehearsals, even the program has been completed and will be announced soon.

But it was taken away.

It’s like being on the verge of “entering the bridal chamber”, with just that one final leap left.

His mother's wife was kidnapped by bandits.

And he is the bandit leader.

Zhou Qian said: "You don't have to worry about being hated, I explained to them that this matter was decided by the higher-ups.

And everyone also understands that before the night of the 30th, no one can guarantee that their show will be broadcast.

In fact, even if it is the night of the 30th, it is still unknown whether the programs scheduled at the end can be performed.

If the first one times out, the next one will have to be cancelled."

The eldest sister also looked helpless: "No one can do anything about this kind of thing, just like what happened to Mr. Sheng.

If you change someone, it won’t be that troublesome at all. Just find an alternative program to take over.

Even if it's a few other veteran artists, there's no problem.

But unfortunately, Mr. Sheng was seen by the higher-ups when they were on a visit and were specially invited back.

He got into trouble and then he personally called your name.

Everyone should pay attention to it.

After comprehensive consideration, it is indeed the most suitable for you.

I can only feel sorry for forcing you to do something you are not prepared for.

This time, oh, I was still thinking in the morning that now it’s finally done and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But I was told about this before I even had time to eat lunch.

The people in charge of the song group went crazy.

I won't come to find you no matter what.

Yell at me in private, it's not that harmful.

Letting a young person appear on three shows, wouldn't that be overwhelming?

He said to me, "Director, you said he is your brother. Only you can find him for this matter. No one else can do it."

If it were someone else, I would definitely train him and force him to do the work.

But I really have nothing to say about this.

What can I do?

What they say is right, this is indeed a disaster for people.

It was painful to watch the man who was taken down look so distraught.

But people like you who are put in this position temporarily are actually under more pressure!
I'm not afraid of being laughed at by your two younger brothers and sisters.

My first reaction was almost to curse.

Unfortunately, I didn’t dare. ”

Song Dao and Lin Fei smiled bitterly, but also felt sorry for Sister Zhou.

What the audience saw was just a party.

Not only did he perform poorly, he was also criticized by the entire Internet.

But for Sister Zhou, the chief director, there are really too many things to consider and take into account.

It’s no wonder that many people would never do it a second time after doing it once.

The pressure is really too great!
For the actors, it is also "Schrödinger's Spring Festival Gala".

Until the moment I go on stage, I can't guarantee the outcome.

"Luckily you're so strong, brother! If it weren't for you, your sister would have really gone crazy!"

Zhou Qian rubbed her temples tiredly.

The car was driving smoothly on the road.

The car fell silent for a moment.

Lin Fei suddenly said, "Sister, come to the back seat and lie on my lap. I'll give you a head massage, okay?"

Zhou Qian was a little surprised: "You can do this?"

Lin Fei glanced at Song Dao: "Yeah, I learned it on purpose."

Zhou Qian: "Then I won't be polite to you!"

He stood up and walked towards the back row.

Lin Fei stood up and blinked gently at Song Dao with her pure and beautiful eyes.

Song Dao: “…”

I haven’t even enjoyed it!
……

Return to the home of film and television.

It was good that I didn't see the group of people who were pushed down by "Horse Racing", otherwise Song Dao really didn't know what to say. He really didn't have the excitement he had when he first learned that he would be on the Spring Festival Gala.

Even the huge reputation gains cannot withstand various unknown changes.

Didn't stay here long.

He rushed to Xiashi TV Station with Zhou Qian.

In Zhou Qian's words, there is no need to rehearse "My Chinese Heart" anymore.

Give those young performers who are under great pressure some time to rest and recuperate.

Go and cause trouble to that other group of people.

"Horse Racing" really needs to be rehearsed seriously several times in Studio No. 1.

So Lin Fei came along again.

The queen, who was originally not very conspicuous, suddenly became a little conspicuous after this afternoon's efforts.

After all, it had nothing to do with her.

But he accompanied Song Dao out first, and now they came to Xia Shi headquarters together.

Not to mention Li Jun who was always joking with them, even people like Liu Min and Zhao Fei couldn't help but smile when they saw them.

After all, they all knew that Song Dao created "Horse Racing" at that time with the purpose of helping the queen Lin Fei to "canvass votes".

So, there must be something going on!
The young lady is actually quite thin-skinned.

But on this matter, I never avoid it and never explain it. I just do my own thing and let others think whatever they want.

Standing behind the elder sister, he continued to press her head.

You know what, it was really worth it.

After being pressed by her for a while, Zhou Qian's condition was obviously much better.

……

on the stage.

When Liu Liang saw Song arriving, who was meeting him for the first time, he immediately strode over to him.

Warm handshake.

Liu Liang, wearing a summer suit and a Taoist bun, looked quite like an immortal and was smiling happily.

"Hahaha, what a fate! I didn't expect to meet you so soon. I even called Liu Min yesterday and wanted to make an appointment with you after the New Year!"

"Hello, Teacher Liu, it's my honor to work with you." Song Dao also respects this master who has performed in top concerts for many years.

"Stop saying that. It's my honor to perform horse racing with you."

People like Liu Min and Zhao Fei were also smiling.

To be honest, even the Xiashi Spring Festival Gala is no big deal for these great artists.

They are all people who have appeared on the international stage.

Now that they have been temporarily "recruited", although it is a bit unexpected and a bit stressful, everyone looks relaxed at the moment.

The performers who were already in their seats and sitting on the stage had nothing but excitement in their eyes.

Compared to pressure, there is more happiness.

They never thought that they would have the opportunity to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

Some people even canceled their tickets at the last minute and gave up on returning home.

Only old man Li Jun was somewhat reluctant.

He glared at Zhou Qian several times when they met.

Zhou Qian could only smile guiltily.

He was repeatedly assured that after the first show tomorrow night, a car would be sent to take him back to reunite with his family.

But after seeing Song arrive, the old man became happy again.

Then he teased Lin Fei again.

"Xiao Lin, will you also rehearse 'Horse Racing' with us?"

"Everyone, tell me, do Xiao Lin and Xiao Song look like a couple?"

"I said before in the singer-songwriter forum that it's time to consider lifelong events, and also to consider contributing to the country..."

"It seems you all listened!"

Lin Fei could only smile and remain silent about this old naughty boy.

In the following rehearsal, several master performers, together with the conductor and a group of senior performers, participated.

Add to that the list the "enchanting" young, hall-of-fame suona player Song Dao.

Almost at the moment the instrument sounded, Zhou Qian's heart, which had been hanging in the air, was completely at ease.

This show is really great!

Some even thank the senior leaders above.

The effect presented by this group of people was indeed much better than the previous opening song and dance medley.

……

It's about ten o'clock in the evening.

The rehearsal was finally over.

During this process, a very perfect version was also recorded as a backup for tomorrow night.

Zhou Qian still needs to return to the film and television home.

Before leaving, Song Dao took out three or four energy candies and gave them to her.

"Sister, keep these candies. I see you don't eat on time, so if you're hungry, just put one in your mouth."

"My younger brother and sister really care about me. One of them massages my head and the other gives me candy." Zhou Qian happily took the candy.

Put it carefully into your suit pocket.

Then he reminded: "Be sure to have a good rest when you go back and get enough sleep."

Song Dao nodded and waved goodbye to his elder sister.

Then he went down to the underground parking lot with Lin Fei and got in the company car.

Looking at the sleepy driver, Song Dao asked Lin Fei softly, "Will Master Yang be there tomorrow?"

The barrier was not raised at this moment, and the driver took it with a smile: "Teacher Song, don't worry about me. My husband and I are both in Beijing for the New Year, and Mr. Lin even gave me triple salary during the New Year!"

"Well, Mr. Lin is the most generous!" said Song Dao.

Lin Fei rolled her eyes at him and said, "Brother Yang can just drop us off tomorrow. There's no need to pick us up in the evening. Someone will come to pick us up."

Then he pulled his hand over and laid hands on him.

The young lady's hands are slender and soft, yet very strong, and her technique is quite skillful.

The driver thought it was okay to leave in the middle of the night.

But after glancing back, he silently raised the baffle.

Mr. Lin is really generous and Teacher Song is also very nice. It is a blessing to be able to work in such a company.

……

New Year’s Eve.

early morning.

Song Daolei goes to the park to practice his voice and run without fail.

At this moment, the occasional crackling sound of artillery could be heard.

The use of fireworks was once banned, but has been gradually relaxed in recent years.

It can be ignited at designated locations.

It does give this ancient city a more festive feel.

While running, Song Dao greeted a few elderly men and women who got up early for morning exercises.

"Xiao Song, I heard from my child that you are going to be on the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Yes, sir."

"Hey, do you have a partner? My granddaughter is about your age."

"I don't have time for love, ma'am."

Because I come here every day, I have become very familiar with these people.

Knowing that he is a big star, this group of people "protected" him very well.

No one ever goes out and talks nonsense.

Otherwise, it would be a dream to want to run here quietly.

After returning home and having breakfast, I watched the replay of last night’s Spring Festival Gala on the local TV station.

The performance of several apprentices was very good.

When their shows come out, the number of barrages will increase instantly.

Especially Kong Xi and Hu Wei, both of them have begun to have real star aura.

Every gesture is relaxed and natural.

Zhong Yutong’s stage presence is also very good, but her singing is a little bit worse.

Let’s wait until after the New Year.

I should have time after I finish the Spring Festival.

Because he is one of the "bosses", Li Qingqing did not give him too many commercial performances, and currently there is only one endorsement for Xia Yun.

It’s not that no one came to the door.

Given his current popularity, how could he not be targeted?

They are just waiting for the Spring Festival Gala.

Even if there was only one chorus originally, Song Dao’s fame would be greatly enhanced.

Who could have thought that by some strange coincidence there would be an additional solo and suona performance.

Even Song Dao himself was a little afraid to think about it.

What kind of reaction will it bring when his face appears on the Spring Festival Gala stage three times?

If you are good, you will be regarded as a god. If you are bad, you will be criticized.

This kind of thing is not unprecedented, but it is very rare.

Especially in recent years, with more and more actors and programs, it is rare to see it.

So, Song Dao was also looking forward to it.

And cheer myself up in my heart: You have the trick, it's okay!

Half past ten in the morning.

He called Mr. Sheng.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Haha, much better. Don't worry. I have something to tell you in secret. Don't tell anyone else. Xiao Zhou played your song for me when he came to visit me. It's great, much better than mine!"

"It's still a pity. I'd rather hear you sing."

"No regrets, not at all. If it weren't for this incident, how could there be a better song like yours? I was originally planning to go back, but after hearing your song, I postponed it. I want to ask for your opinion. I want to sing your song at the Lantern Festival Gala on the 15th day of the first lunar month."

"It is most appropriate for you to sing this song. It is my honor. I have no objection."

"Hahaha, then it's settled. You wait for me to raise him for two more days. We two should have some drinks!"

After hanging up the phone, Song Daoxin said that singing was fine, but drinking was okay. I would never dare to drink with you, an old man, even if you kill me.

At around eleven o'clock, he simply cooked a bowl of noodles.

Lobster, abalone, ham, beef...

There are too many things in the refrigerator!

I don’t know when I can finish eating.

Not to mention tonight, he basically won't be able to eat at home for the next few days.

From the first to the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, it’s all full!

Tomorrow, which is the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Yu said that we would go to his house for dinner.

In order to prevent the dog from refusing, the big sister said that the gifts and other things had already been prepared.

And she also called me Sister Fei.

There are no outsiders, it’s just a pure family dinner.

Song Dao had no reason to refuse.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, it was arranged by Mr. Li Jun.

The old man said that he was going back to his mother's home that day.

His home is the "mother's home" of this group of younger generations.

Anyway, he is old, so whatever he says is right.

No room for rejection.

According to the Xia tradition, the third day of the Chinese New Year is the day for family gatherings.

So that day, Lin Fei, Yan Yu, Zhong Yutong, Sun Meiqi and others gathered at Song Dao's house for a party.

Well, they are all relatives without blood relationship.

The fourth day of the New Year is Qin Lang's home.

Lao Qin always wanted to treat me to a meal, but he never had the time.

It’s hard to say no.

The fifth day is Yin Hong...I can't refuse.

In fact, the people are almost all the same, but there is nothing we can do as everyone only has some time during the New Year holidays.

We are usually too busy, so it is not easy to get together.

The sixth day is Chen Ting.

The seventh day is Zhou Qian.

If Brother Long had not returned to Hong Kong, and Chu Peining and Sister Hong had not returned to their hometowns, they would definitely have made arrangements too.

That’s it, there are still people who haven’t got a number.

For example, Lao Ma and Kang Peng.

However, Song Dao arranged Kang Peng's invitation for the eighth day of the New Year.

In any case, this person was not only the original owner's best brother, but also someone with whom he had a good relationship after he traveled through time and before he became famous.

This is not the first or second time they have invited me, so I have to give them this little bit of face.

In fact, Lin Fei's situation is similar. In addition to these, she also has to go to Dong Yu's house.

The two had made an appointment a long time ago, but because they were busy, they never met.

I ate a bowl of noodles comfortably.

After consuming a large amount of carbohydrates, Song Dao felt that he was in better shape than ever before.

Then I received a call from Lin Fei.

Go downstairs and leave the community.

After getting on the bus, we went straight to Xiashi TV Station.

The Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Horse is coming soon.
