Chapter 221: You Arbitrarily Tampered with the Lyrics of "Jiangnan" And that Would Be Superfluous
"They are looking for me, why are you following me?"
CCTV Building, outside Studio 1.
Zhou Yi in the aisle squinted at Sun Yanzi who kept rubbing his hands to breathe: "It's a cold day and you don't mind the cold?"
"Of course it's a rehearsal. Didn't Qian Jiang tell you? I'm going to attend the Spring Festival Gala this year too."
Sun Yanzi said with a matter-of-fact expression: "I think I'm not at the point where I'll go straight to the Spring Festival Gala without rehearsing and submitting it for review."
"Aren't you at the branch meeting?"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Qian Jiang really didn't tell him the details of Sun Yanzi's Spring Festival Gala. He only said that she had also received an invitation.
In his impression, Sun Yanzi's participation in the Spring Festival Gala should be at the branch venue in Shenzhen.
"No, why do you think so? Where did you hear the unreliable gossip?" Sun Yanzi bared his teeth and laughed: "Or are you saying that Chen Zeshan has done a good job in keeping secrets?"
"Maybe."
Zhou Yi, who didn't take it seriously, shrugged nonchalantly and took the lead in pushing open the door of Studio No. 1.
"Your reaction is so bland. Shouldn't you continue to be curious about what my Spring Festival Gala rehearsal repertoire is?"
"There's nothing to guess. If you don't go out of tune, you win."
"..."
Sun Yanzi, who was hit in a sore spot, immediately became angry and started to pull at Zhou Yi to vent his hatred: "The same goes for you. Don't forget that I am still your teacher."
Wasn't it because she was too busy during the promotion meeting and was not in a good state that the pitch of the song was a little off? She adjusted it back later, okay?
The only thing to blame is that "Remember" written by a Singaporean compatriot named Lin Junjie is not so singable.
"It doesn't matter if you are a teacher. Don't forget that there is another saying that the waves behind you in the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. A young person is better than a young person." Zhou Yi turned his head, chuckled and looked her up and down, and then gave her a joking look: "Please Pay attention to the occasion and your manners, Teacher Sun.”
"..."
After he reminded her, she finally remembered that the people here were from the top ranks of the Chinese entertainment industry. Sun Yanzi immediately shrank her head angrily and switched back to good girl mode in a second.
"Where is Chen Zeshan? Why didn't he come with you?"
"He came to CCTV before me. He must have gone to understand the relevant situation." Sun Yanzi, who finally remembered his agent, turned his head left and right, but did not see Chen Zeshan, but he saw a real person. The strange figure walking towards Zhou Yi——
He is thin and has a long face, and he looks a bit older.
"Hello Zhou Yi, it's our first time meeting you. This must be Miss Sun Yanzi and Sun."
Feng Gong took the lead in extending his hand to say hello to the two of them.
As an old artist who has never missed the Spring Festival Gala stage since his first appearance in 1986 until this year, the phrase "Dear audience friends, I miss you so much" has directly become a fixed label on him.
If we want to select the top ten artists on the Spring Festival Gala stage, Feng Gong is a true god-level existence who can squeeze into the top five in terms of career length and career height.
As a Singaporean, Sun Yanzi didn't know this man very well, but seeing that she wanted to talk about something, she made an excuse to go to Chen Zeshan to prepare for the rehearsal after saying hello and chose to leave.
Seeing this, Feng Gong suddenly had a smile on his face: "It seems that I came at the wrong time, Zhou Yi."
"No, no, no, Uncle Feng, you came at the right time."
Zhou Yi, who borrowed some lines, smiled and said: "For such a small matter as authorization, you can actually contact Warner directly."
Feng Gong's purpose in finding Zhou Yi was actually very simple: he wanted song authorization and adaptation rights.
The Spring Festival Gala program prepared by Feng Gong, Guo Donglin and Lu Ming this year is very similar in format to the cross talk "Old Songs, New Songs" performed by Feng Gong and Guo Donglin in the 2000 Spring Festival Gala. The program is currently tentatively titled "Trio".
As the name suggests, the key element that holds this show together from beginning to end is the songs. The performance and rhythm of the three performers determine whether the program can proceed smoothly.
Lu Ming accordion, Guo Donglin Tianjin Allegro, Feng Gong guitar.
Now that the three songs with the main theme have been decided, Feng Gong, who plays the guitar, needs to play and sing a song by himself in the plot, and rewrite the lyrics.
Originally, Feng Gong planned to use the old song "A Letter from Home" to change the lyrics and sing it, but the song "Jiangnan" was so popular that even if he went out every day, he would be forced to accept the song "Jiangnan". Xiang's "Jiangnan" was bombarded, and my family sang it every day.
Although there was already an adaptation of "A Letter from Home" as insurance, Feng Gong still wanted to come to Zhou Yi to try and get authorization for the sake of the final effect of the program.
"This is no small matter. The words I sang then can be said to have nothing to do with your "Jiangnan" except for the same tune.
"As the author, I think I still need to report this to you properly."
Feng Gong was obviously in a good mood after receiving Zhou Yi's consent, and even extended an invitation to him: "Xiao Yi, if you are interested, you can come and watch our rehearsal.
"You are also a creator. If we make any mistakes in the lyrics, you might be able to help us check and fill in the gaps."
"Uncle Feng, don't tell me, I'm really interested."
Zhou Yi is really interested in this "Trio". He can confirm that the program Feng Gong performed in the 2002 Spring Festival Gala was called "On Stage and Off Stage", not this ghost name.
The jokes were average, and the overall quality was somewhat inferior to the "Old Songs and New Songs" of the same form that he performed in the 2000 Spring Festival Gala.
In fact, when Zhou Yi, who sneaked into the rehearsal area of the language program, got the first version of the script handed to him by Feng Gong, Zhou Yi almost immediately confirmed the program that was still called "Trio" during the rehearsal, and the finished product after the final review was called "On Stage and Off Stage".
He was very familiar with some of the lines here and had seen them.
Of course, he also saw Guo Donglin, who still had hair on his forehead.
He was reciting the lines and immediately stood up from his chair when he saw Zhou Yi coming over and greeted him politely.
Zhou Yi, who was very familiar with people, soon called him Brother Guo.
There was no way, the Spring Festival Gala these days was full of big and small kings, and each of them was more than a generation older than him... The reason why he didn't call Feng Gong Brother was purely because he was almost as old as his father.
After meeting with another performer Lu Ming, Zhou Yi looked at the adapted lyrics in his hand with great interest.
The tune of "Jiangnan" is indeed the content of Feng Gong's ridicule of the Spring Festival Gala and Guo Donglin, and the lyrics are greatly changed.
"How is my adaptation, Xiaoyi?"
Feng Gong, who is also very good at playing guitar, asked with a smile: "See if there is anything else that needs to be modified."
"Uncle Feng, your adaptation is very powerful. It not only ridicules the Spring Festival Gala but also ridicules Brother Guo. It is perfect. However... my suggestion is that Brother Guo can polish the lines after you finish singing."
Zhou Yi raised the book in his hand with an idea in his mind.
In the script, after Feng Gong finished singing the Spring Festival Gala limited version of "Jiangnan", Guo Donglin directly followed up with a sentence: Friends, I just let you listen to a piece of noise, which made your ears suffer! Now I will sing for you sincerely...
This section actually does not have many funny points. It is purely based on the performances of Feng Gong and Guo Donglin, and the lines are not smooth.
"I think we can add one more sentence before Brother Guo says this line. For example, Uncle Feng, you just finished performing the adapted version of "Jiangnan", and then Brother Guo disdains to say: You arbitrarily tampered with the lyrics of "Jiangnan", which is superfluous!
"Then connect with the original lines."
Looking at Guo Donglin's face that is quite similar to Lin Junjie, Zhou Yi rolled his eyes and suggested.
This can be regarded as creating a laugh point. After all, there is actually no laugh point in the line design of this performance.
After this, Feng Gong and the others looked at each other and subconsciously began to think about the possibility and fun-
Ten minutes later:
When Feng Gong and the other two who decided to give it a try began to rehearse, Zhou Yi, as an audience, sat in the audience, watching Guo Donglin, who looked like Lin Junjie, standing on the stage and angrily scolding Feng Gong who had just finished playing "Jiangnan"-"You arbitrarily tampered with the lyrics of "Jiangnan", which is superfluous!
"Zhou Yi's song was so popular, but you ruined it all!"
"Friends, I'm really sorry that I just made you listen to a noise..."
When Guo Donglin said the word "noise", it just echoed the words he scolded Feng Gong, and perfectly played the role of connecting the previous and the next, adding some burdens that can make people smile.
I didn't expect that the effect would be so good that Zhou Yi, the initiator, was surprised.
I swear to God, he originally just wanted to see if Guo Donglin's words would be more fun.
"Good! Beautifully changed!"
Suddenly, a voice full of Northeastern cornstarch came from behind Zhou Yi.
PS: After three days of recuperation, I feel that I have recovered enough and my spirit is not so drooping now.
I will resume two updates tomorrow~
