There are a lot of singers to watch in this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Hu Jing barely counts as one, and Zhang Baizhi also counts as one. Two top-notch florets from the mainland and Xiangjiang made their debut in the Spring Festival Gala, and they received a certain amount of attention.
In addition, two big names came to the Xiangjiang singing scene, the Queen of Heaven, Lin Yilian, and the Four Heavenly Kings, Guo Tianwang.
The former came to the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, and sang his masterpiece "At least you are still there".
The latter is the second time to attend the Spring Festival Gala. The last time was in 1993, exactly 10 years after this time. The work is "Move", which can be regarded as his masterpiece, the 2000 Pepsi commercial song + the 2001 A-League theme song.
Mainland singers carrying the flag are Cao Xuan and Liu Huan, as well as Tian Zhen, Tan Jing, two folk song queens, and Director Chen's daughter-in-law and Cai Guoqing are also one of the highlights.
Among them, except for Cao Xuan and Liu Huan, the popularity of the others is less.
The only singer who can wrestle with Guo Tianwang and even overwhelm him is Cao Xuan.
The previous Grammy nomination event made Cao Xuan, who hadn't been around in the music scene for half a year, gain a lot of presence. Many people are looking forward to his Spring Festival Gala show.
Even in the families of many people, Cao Xuan's program in the Spring Festival Gala can be compared with those language classes, let me add a word.
"Cao Xuan called me when he sang."
Don't underestimate this sentence. The Spring Festival Gala has been held for 20 years, and few artists have this treatment.
Gold cups and silver cups are not as good as the audience's reputation. This sentence is not only everyone's trust in the quality of Cao Xuan's Spring Festival Gala works, but behind it is the national influence that makes countless artists envy and envy.
Cao Xuan's program is behind a cross talk, that is, the bald Chen Hanbai.
Especially Hou Sanye's apprentice, this year he was honored by his master for the Spring Festival Gala. Before the rehearsal, he specially came to Cao Xuan's place to visit the pier.
Cao Xuan and Hou Sanye worked together in the Spring Festival Gala last year, and they have a good relationship. Although they are not very close, they still have phone calls and text messages to greet each other during the New Year and holidays.
The two of them have no seniority, and they are regarded as forgetful friends. He calls the other party the third master, and the other party calls him Xiao Cao.
Cao Xuan once had a brainstorm, and when he met Lao Guo in the future, would he call him Uncle, Brother, or a neutral title of Teacher
"I've already decided on a name, it's called Aviation Hen."
"Hi!"
After the crosstalk show was over, Zhou Tao, the host who had just performed a skit with Feng, reported the scene. When Cao Xuan's name was heard, the audience cheered up, and the people in front of the TV cheered for their friends.
"Let us invite Cao Xuan, and we will sing a song - "When You Are Old"."
On the stage, the lights were dim, and two white lights casted down. Cao Xuan did not appear. The first one to appear was a pair of elderly couple with white hair, quietly leaning against the "fire". The old lady sat in a wheelchair and fainted. Feeling sleepy, the old man held the book and read to her softly.
At this moment, the prelude ended, and Cao Xuan, in a gray-white sweater with a high collar, slowly walked out of the shadows, humming softly with a microphone in his hand.
"When you are old and your hair is gray
Drowsiness
When you are old and can't walk anymore
Doze by the fire to recall youth
"
The soft, delicate and slightly vicissitudes of singing, combined with the lighting and dance, quickly pulled the audience into the emotion of the song.
The song "When You Are Old" originally came from a poem by the Irish poet Yeats.
Later, singer Zhao Zhao adapted it into a song according to the translation. It first appeared on the "Song of China" program, but later it was Li Jian who sang the song Huo, who became famous on the stage of "I Am a Singer".
In the 2015 Spring Festival Gala, Mo Wenwei sang this song again in the Spring Festival Gala, and it was widely acclaimed.
Cao Xuan considered for a long time and finally chose this song.
The atmosphere, depth, and meaning are all right. The popularity of singing may be weaker than before, but it is not much worse. Overall, it is still an excellent work, and it will not fall into the title of Cao Xuan's Spring Festival Gala singer.
"How many people have loved you when you were young and happy
? Admire your beauty, fake or sincere
Only one person still loves your devout soul
Love the wrinkles on your old face
"
The two elderly couples got up, walked, danced, and talked to the song.
Cao Xuan looked at them with a smile, and sang softly, and the audience inside and outside the venue slowly substituted for the song.
Many couples or lovers hold each other's hand, thinking about the day when they will grow old together, what will happen to the two of them, whether it is as beautiful and warm as in the song
Cao Xuan couldn't bear to see her celebrate the New Year alone, so he made a decision, anyway, his parents had finished seeing each other, so they decided to spend this year together.
Separated from Zhang Chong and the others on the road, Cao Xuan and Hu Jing walked into the alley wearing hats and masks. During the interval between firecrackers, Cao Xuan knocked on the gate.
"I'm coming."
"Wow woof!"
The door opened, revealing the bright smiles of Cao Shuangguo and Sun Lan. Sun Lan even hugged Hu Jing's arm, and hurriedly pulled her into the room, talking non-stop.
"Jingjing is hungry, my dad hastened to order dumplings and hot dishes. Is it cold on the road? Why didn't you drive? Auntie made a few dishes for you. I don't know what you like to eat. I don't think it's good. Let's buy it tomorrow. "
"There is a stove in the house, you let Jing Jing roast your hands, crack some melon seeds, eat some fruit as a cushion, and the food will be ready in no time."
Sun Lan grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand and refused to scatter. Cao Shuangguo greeted her a few times, and then hurried to serve hot dishes and dumplings.
The two were busy with their own work, and Cao Xuan was alone at the door, looking at his parents who were enthusiastic in the past, but this year they all surrounded Hu Jing to make out, and ignored him, unable to hide his grief and indignation.
"Who is your own?"
"Stop pushing, close the door, and come over to serve the food."
Cao Xuan's grief and indignation did not receive any friendly response, only Comrade Cao's cold order, Cao Xuan didn't dare to talk back, so he could only vent his anger on the two dogs who hadn't appeared in almost 200 chapters, and raised his hands to scold them.
"Go away, what is it called, the New Year's Eve has no eyesight at all."
