The second Friday in April finally arrived after everyone had been waiting for it. Today is the day of live filming for the second episode of the first season of "Springtime of the Band".
Different from the previous filming of "Xia Guo Good Singer", this time Jiang Kan and the others no longer have to travel long distances, and the filming location is in Chengdu.
Their recording time was this afternoon. After lunch, Jiang Kan, Lao Zhou and other members of the band came to the filming location of this program - the office building of Rongcheng TV Station.
"Welcome, welcome to Chengdu TV station!" As soon as they entered the gate of the TV station compound, a middle-aged man with a mustache walked quickly towards Jiang Kan and others with his hands stretched out.
"Mr. Jiang Kan, Mr. Zhou, hello everyone, I am Zhang Jianguo, the chief director of "Spring of the Band". You are very welcome to participate in our show." He recognized Jiang Kan who was walking in the front at a glance, and held his hands He held up his hands and kept shaking them, as if the fans had met their idol.
"Ah, hello, Director Zhang. Nice to meet you too..." Looking at the other party's overly enthusiastic look, Jiang Kan always felt that something was wrong. He turned back to look at Zhang Lingling beside him, but he saw her face. With a mysterious smile on his face.
"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I'm your fan, a die-hard fan!" Director Zhang, who held Zhang Kang's hands tightly, said without any embarrassment.
"Ever since you sang the song "Chengdu", I have been your fan. I like every song of yours very much, especially the two songs "Cold Rainy Night" and "Like You" , I have listened to it hundreds of times! This time you are able to participate in this program, which gives us great support and confidence!" Director Zhang was like a little fan, holding Jiang Kan's hands, Xu Xu He kept talking.
"To be honest, when we first decided to form this variety show, it was actually for your Dongyu band. I have loved rock songs since I was a child, and I also founded a band, but I had to give it up later because of my studies and work. Now that I can host the filming of such a variety show about a band, it really fulfills my childhood dream." Only then did Jiang Kan understand why the other party was so excited after seeing him, and Zhang Lingling should be the same You know this, no wonder she smiled and said nothing.
"Haha, Director Zhang is really thoughtful. I feel so well-deserved for such praise... Let me introduce to you. This is the boss of our band and the drummer of the band, Mr. Zhou Dong..." Jiang Kan Seeing the other party's enthusiasm, I just felt a little unbearable, so I quickly broke free and pulled Boss Zhou over and introduced him.
"Hey, do you think there is a new band coming?" Zhang Liheng on the side pointed to a nanny car driving in the distance, which also had the logo of Chengdu TV Station on it.
But Director Zhang next to him seemed not to notice, and continued to chat with Lao Zhou, glancing in Jiang Kan's direction from time to time, with no intention of going up to greet the band in the other nanny car.
Instead, another young staff member wearing a hat with the logo of Chengdu TV Station went up to greet them.
"Hey, I didn't expect that one day we would receive special treatment!" Guitarist Li Bo on the side patted bassist Wang Shuai on the shoulder and raised his chin.
"Yes, it's all because of Brother Kan." Wang Shuai also saw the scene over there, and his admiration for Jiang Kan grew to a higher level.
...As the general director of the show, Director Zhang could not always accompany the band. After cordially receiving Jiang Kan and his party, he went back to work, leaving only an assistant to receive them.
"Hello, Uncle Kan and Uncle Zhou, I am Xiao Wang, your assistant for this competition. I will guide you in the next steps." A young and capable young man took over the position of Director Zhang and led everyone. Walked into the studio building and came to the door of a lounge.
"Please rest here for a while. After all the bands are in place, we will start the recording of today's competition." Xiao Wang smiled and made a
The "please" gesture brought everyone into this slightly luxurious lounge.
"Because we have already drawn lots before, we will start a direct competition soon. Our band will be the third one to appear, so please prepare yourself first." Compared with "Good Singer", "Spring of the Band" 》It’s not as fussy as them, and the process is relatively traditional and simple.
This made Jiang Kan feel very comfortable. He really didn't want to face a director as mean as Huang Shengcai again. He didn't treat singers like them as human beings at all, and he could punish them however he wanted.
Maybe it’s because Chengdu TV Station rarely produces variety shows in this area and doesn’t have much related experience in teasing people.
Or maybe it's because they are very honest to begin with and don't bother doing these bells and whistles. No matter what he said, the stone in Jiang Kan's heart finally fell to the ground, and he felt finally relieved.
"Hey, are you nervous? I feel so nervous. When I think about facing the national audience soon, my heart beats so fast!" Wang Shuai covered his chest and looked around this luxurious room. The lounge, the large leather sofa, the huge TV screen, the exquisite decoration, and the table full of drinks sponsored by various sponsors, I just feel that I have never been so respected in my acting career.
"Hehe, me too. I never thought I would be received so sincerely by someone again in my life..." Li Bo picked up a box of milk on the table and looked at it in his hand: "Hey, there's only one milk like this on the market. The box costs at least thirty yuan, right? Rongcheng TV station is really generous!" Even the well-informed old Zhou nodded with satisfaction after seeing such a luxurious lounge.
Everyone sat down relaxedly and began to discuss the upcoming recording. In a lounge next to them, there is another band team that is about to compete.
Their faces looked tired, but their brows and eyes could not help showing excitement.
"Hey, Brother Zhe, I didn't expect that Chengdu TV Station was so generous and even reimbursed our round-trip air tickets! I think our band had just been formed and it was our first performance in Shanghai. The organizer didn't even provide us with accommodation. "Bao..." The air conditioner in the room was turned on at full speed. Even though it was winter, the fat bassist was still sweating profusely on his forehead.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead while looking up and down the room with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Yeah, I think when we went to Yanjing to perform, the organizer there was so wealthy that they only quoted us the cost of the high-speed rail..." The female drummer who habitually held a drum hammer in her hand relaxed. He lay back and let himself fall on the soft and large leather sofa. He drank the high-grade milk in his hand and said with emotion.
"Well, after all, we are just a band, not a real star..." The lead singer, known as Brother Zhe, sighed and shook his head. He stared blankly at the huge TV screen that had not yet shown the picture, and sighed helplessly. .
"Yes, now we are all stars who work alone. The era of bands has long passed. We are just laggards who are chasing the dreams of the past and are reluctant to open our eyes and wake up..." The burly and tall guitarist Amon He sat down on the sofa, causing both of them to jump up from the sofa. His eyes were filled with both the desire to win and the sadness of the unbearable memories of the past.
"It's okay, we will win. After we become famous all over the country, we will conduct a good tour so that fans across the country can know the name of our Ivy Band!" Li Zhe clapped his hands and encouraged everyone. Encouraged.
…
"Dear friends in front of the TV and friends online, good evening!"
"This is the competition site for the second phase of the first season of "Spring of the Band" hosted by Chengdu TV Station. Everyone is welcome to watch!" On the large stage, a host from Chengdu TV Station was facing the microphone on the stage. He enthusiastically announced the start of the show to the audience and TV cameramen.
"Today we are honored to invite 500 audiences of different ages, identities, and regions to participate in our grand program!"
"There are no guests in this competition. All bands' performances will be voted on by the audience on site and in front of the TV!"
"Everyone should be very clear about the specific competition rules. Next, the eight participating bands tonight will perform on stage in pairs. Then the audience can use their mobile phones to log in to the exclusive app of Chengdu TV Station to vote for the bands they support. vote!"
"The eight participating teams will determine four teams that can enter the top 16. Their performance tonight will determine their future destiny. Please be sure to rate their performance fairly and impartially!"
"Okay, now, we will invite the first team to perform on stage to bring you the first wonderful performance tonight! Everyone welcomes the 'Wild Rose' band with applause!" The host bowed to the audience. , quickly retreated from the stage.
The lights on the large and luxurious stage dimmed quickly, leaving only a golden searchlight pointing towards the entrance of the stage.
…
"These may be our future competitors. Everyone, please open your eyes and take a good look at them. Make sure you know what level they are at!" Lao Zhou put down the drink bottle in his hand and looked at it intently. Huge TV screen.
Jiang Kan's eyes were also attracted by the picture on the screen. This is an all-female band. Each member is very good-looking and has a very good figure.
They wore uniform purple uniforms embroidered with roses and greeted the audience and cameras enthusiastically.
Immediately, their beautiful appearance and enthusiastic gestures gave rise to a burst of warm cheers from the audience!
"Hey, this is not an easy opponent to deal with!" Lao Zhou held his chin, rubbed his clean-shaven stubble, and said to himself quite seriously.
"Yes, a band composed entirely of beauties is too competitive!" Wang Shuai on the side swallowed his saliva and said with some fear.
"If you don't talk about martial arts, you don't talk about martial arts!" Li Bo also widened his eyes and looked at the beautiful and good-looking women on the screen who had put instruments on their backs and finished the performance. preparation.
"Haha, it's interesting. It's a different way, isn't it..." Jiang Kan leaned back on the sofa relaxedly, watching the girl band on the screen begin their performance with a leisurely expression.
It is worthy of being a band that passed the national preliminary round. Every one of them is very skilled in using instruments. The woman who is the lead singer has a particularly loud and high-pitched voice. When she sings a heavy metal rock song, she is so crazy and energetic. Boy bands are even more fierce!
Her voice soared so high that most of the audience's scalps went numb, and the blood in their hearts was awakened, and they clapped their hands crazily to their beat.
When the cameraman's lens swept over them, many people even waved their fists or made rock and roll gestures while wearing the camera. You can imagine how igniting their performance was.
"Don't underestimate it, don't underestimate it..." Lao Zhou's hand holding his chin kept touching the stubble, looking very anxious.
To be fair, if it was the Dongyu band that had not met Jiang Kan in the past, he really did not have the confidence to defeat this girl band. Even if they were evenly matched, it would be very difficult.
And as a veteran of playing bands, he also clearly knows how attractive a rock band composed entirely of women is to the audience.
When competing on the same stage, these lsps will definitely vote for them, not themselves.
"Fortunately, their opponent this time is not us..." Lao Zhou silently rejoiced in his heart. Sure enough, after the next band performed, the audience voted for them by an astonishing 8:2!
In other words, the girl band got almost 400 votes, while the ordinary band behind it only got just over 100 votes.
This is only the 500 viewers at the scene. When it is officially broadcast tomorrow, I don’t know what choices the viewers in front of the TV will make.
"Don't pay attention to these evil heretics. Musicians still have to look at the music themselves after all!" As the leader of the band, Lao Zhou knew that he must give everyone a boost at this time and not be timid before fighting.
While he was encouraging morale, the host on the stage was introducing the next band that was about to appear to the audience in a very passionate and emotional tone.
"The next band that's going to be on stage is going to be amazing!" he said passionately into the microphone.
"This is a band born and raised in Rongcheng. It has been established for 15 years. At the beginning of its establishment, their members and songs were not well known to everyone."
"But since last year, since a well-known singer who is familiar to us in Chengdu joined them, the band's reputation has suddenly grown!"
"'Cold Rainy Night', 'Like You' and 'Shameless' have made everyone know them and their unparalleled musical talent."
"Today, our own band from Chengdu is about to take the stage and bring you their new song, "Blue Lotus". Please welcome them to the stage with the warmest applause!"
