A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Chapter 349 Su Fan's Song Selection

After briefly explaining the signing of the Hanggai Band, Su Fan then turned the conversation to his purpose for coming.

He put down his teacup, looked at Wu Enqi, and said, "Old Wu, actually, I came here this time for another matter."

"Speak."

Su Fan didn't keep me in suspense: "Just now, Deng Zongqi, the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, called me. The program team has taken a liking to 'Reincarnation' and wants to invite the Hanggai Band to participate in the preliminary review of the Spring Festival Gala with this song."

"The Spring Festival Gala?"

Uliji had just picked up his teacup when he heard those two words, and his wrist suddenly stopped.

A few drops of tea spilled out, but he didn't bother to wipe them away.

Uliji asked eagerly, "Are you talking about the CCTV Spring Festival Gala?"

Su Fan looked at him with amusement: "Director Wu, besides that Spring Festival Gala, which other Spring Festival Gala could there be?"

Uliji couldn't sit still any longer: "This is a big deal! Hangai has only been established for two days, and they already have the opportunity to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. That's amazing!"

At this moment, he could not hide the excitement on his face.

The Hanggai Band represents more than just a few musicians.

If they can really bring "Reincarnation" to the Spring Festival Gala, the grassland music of Inner Mongolia will be heard by more audiences across the country through this stage.

In contrast, Wu Enqi was much calmer.

After a moment's thought, he asked the question he was most concerned about: "Did the production team request that the singing language be changed?"

Su Fan shook his head: "No, Director Deng specifically stated that they prefer the original Mongolian version and are not considering changing it to Mandarin for the time being."

Upon hearing this answer, Wu Enqi's expression relaxed somewhat.

He nodded: "It seems there are people in the production team who understand music."

Uliji asked impatiently, "Did Agula and the others agree?"

Su Fan replied, "I've already agreed. However, I've also reminded them that this is just the preliminary review. There are still several rounds of review afterward, and it's still uncertain whether they'll be able to appear on the Spring Festival Gala."

Uliji said without hesitation, "Being able to participate in the preliminary review is already a rare opportunity. If you need any cooperation from the Inner Mongolian province, just let me know."

Su Fan said with a smile, "There is indeed something that requires your cooperation."

Uliji immediately asked, "What is it?"

Su Fan didn't answer, but instead turned his gaze to Wu Enqi: "The production team wants to invite Mr. Wu to serve as the ethnic music consultant for 'Reincarnation.' Director Deng asked me to ask you if you would be willing to participate?"

Uenqi was slightly taken aback: "You want me to be an advisor?"

Su Fan nodded: "The Spring Festival Gala stage is different from the grassland. With changes in the venue, sound system, and performance style, the songs will definitely need to be readjusted. This requires someone who truly understands grassland music to oversee the program team."

Uenqi looked at him: "Don't you understand it yourself?"

Su Fan said frankly, "Knowing some things doesn't mean knowing everything. Besides, I know where my strengths lie, and I also know which things I should listen to the real experts about."

Wu Enqi said, "It's a good thing that music from the grasslands can be featured on the Spring Festival Gala, so I accepted the assignment."

……

After confirming Wu Enqi's situation, Su Fan returned to his room.

What he needs to consider now is which song to submit for the Spring Festival Gala.

Su Fan turned on his computer and found himself struggling to make a choice.

There are many songs that are suitable for the Spring Festival atmosphere.

There are also quite a few works that are suitable for the Spring Festival Gala stage, and that can balance theme, structure and artistry.

Su Fan couldn't help but sigh, "Sometimes having too many songs isn't a good thing!"

That's a bit too Versailles-esque.

If other people heard this, they'd probably want to punch him.

After much deliberation, Su Fan finally brought out "The Sound of the River Enters the Old Year".

This song, "On Earth," features lyrics by Zhang Siyi, music and arrangement by Yang Zongxun, and vocals by Gong Linna.

Both the theme and the artistic conception are very suitable for the Spring Festival Gala stage.

After making the decision, Su Fan began to organize the lyrics, music, and arrangement.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Su Fan found Uliji.

Su Fan asked, "Director Wu, are there any decent recording studios around here?"

Uliji looked at him with some surprise: "There is one in the city, with good equipment and recording engineers. Many singers from Inner Mongolia have recorded their songs there before. Why are you asking about this?"

Su Fan casually replied, "Let's go record a song."

Uliji's eyes lit up instantly: "Record a song?"

Yesterday, "Reincarnation" became a viral sensation across the internet.

Now that Su Fan has suddenly asked to find a recording studio, Uliji's first thought is whether this guy has prepared another new song for Inner Mongolia.

He leaned forward slightly, his anticipation barely concealed on his face: "What song?"

Su Fan said casually, "It's nothing, just an ordinary song."

Uliji clearly didn't believe him: "The 'ordinary' you're talking about is not the same as what others understand as ordinary. Before 'Reincarnation' was released, didn't you also think it was just an ordinary song?"

Su Fan thought for a moment: "The Reincarnation is really not ordinary."

Uliji immediately perked up: "So, what's the name of this song?"

Su Fan kept it a secret for now: "It's a secret for now."

Uliji didn't give up and tentatively asked, "Does this have anything to do with our Inner Mongolia province?"

"It doesn't matter much."

Upon hearing this answer, the expectation in Uliji's eyes immediately faded somewhat.

He thought that Su Fan had prepared another surprise for Meng Province besides "Reincarnation".

However, he quickly seized on the question in Su Fan's words: "Not much of a relationship, so there is some relationship?"

Su Fan looked at him helplessly: "Director Wu, aren't you being a little too meticulous with your reading comprehension? What I mean is, this song wasn't written for Inner Mongolia, nor was it prepared for this tourism live stream."

Uliji still refused to give up: "The song was recorded in Inner Mongolia. How can you say it has nothing to do with Inner Mongolia? Tell me first, what song is it?"

Su Fan knew that if he didn't give an answer, Uliji would probably keep asking, so he could only explain: "The Spring Festival Gala program team invited me to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala and asked me to prepare a song for the preliminary review. I have already chosen the song and am preparing to record a complete version first."

Uliji was stunned for a few seconds.

Immediately afterward, he jumped up from his chair: "You're going to be on the Spring Festival Gala too?"

Su Fan was startled by his reaction: "I was just invited to participate in the program's review. It's not certain whether I'll be able to get on the show yet. Please don't get so excited."

How could Uliji not be excited?

The fact that Hanggai Band participated in the Spring Festival Gala preliminary review with "Reincarnation" was already incredibly good news.

Unexpectedly, the Spring Festival Gala production team not only took a liking to Hanggai, but also extended a separate invitation to Su Fan.

In other words, it is very likely that two Spring Festival Gala programs will be sent from Inner Mongolia this time.
