Entertainment system: The sad queen sang and made the audience cry

Gu Zhimiao really forgot about the New Year’s Eve concert completely.

If Shirley hadn't mentioned it, she would have completely forgotten about it.

Wang Xiaoya held the chopsticks in her mouth and looked at Gu Zhimiao in bewilderment. She had also forgotten...

Aqiu looked up at the sky.

It is almost the end of December and there are only a few days left until the New Year.

Their charity performance is coming to an end, and comprehensive reconstruction work has begun in the disaster area.

They held a charity performance for disaster relief in every province and city. Today was the last one. It was still quite hot in this city near the sea.

Gu Zhimiao rubbed his face and asked, "Shirley, what are your plans for the future?"

“Maybe the main focus of work is still on the company.”

Gu Zhimiao continued to ask: "Then you don't plan to continue creating?"

“I can’t give up writing, but I’ve been writing for many years and my inspiration has dried up. I need to relearn and re-understand life, maybe then I can get more inspiration.”

Shirley is still very thoughtful and has a very clear plan for her life.

"You don't have to worry about me. I just took over another job. Creation is my dream and I won't give it up easily. I broke up with my family and came out on my own because I wanted to realize my dream."

Shirley was very happy that Gu Zhimiao cared about her so much.

Gu Zhimiao squatted on the ground, looked up at Shirley, and then looked at a tiny ant on the ground.

The ant was struggling to move forward, climbing over a large hill of sand.

"Actually, it's pretty good for you to be like this." Gu Zhimiao looked a little confused, but said very sincerely.

Shirley asked her back: "What about you? What are your plans next?"

Gu Zhimiao smiled and replied: "Do I need to ask this question? I want to win the championship of "Almighty Creator" and also win the New Song Award."

"and then?"

"Then..."

Gu Zhimiao clapped his hands and stood up, saying to Shirley, "Then...please ask Qiao Xingheng for me, does what he said at the beginning still count?"

Shirley looked at her and Gu Zhimiao blankly, her heart filled with bitterness.

Shirley's face gradually turned pale and her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something?

Thousands of words are condensed into one word.

"it is good."

Aqiu looked at Shirley, their eyes met, and then they quickly looked away.

Wang Xiaoya lowered her head and ate her lunch box sullenly without saying anything.

It was as if I hadn't heard their conversation at all.

As long as she didn't hear it, she didn't know about it.

Shirley turned her back and murmured in a voice that Gu Zhimiao couldn't hear: "Gu Zhimiao, you will get what you wish for."

When he raised his head again, his face was already covered with tears.

She didn't dare let Gu Zhimiao see her, so she left quickly.

"Sister Miao, I also forgot about the New Year's Eve concert..." Wang Xiaoya said slowly to Gu Zhimiao after watching Shirley leave.

Gu Zhimiao didn't care about it: "It's okay, you know how fast I write songs."

"Look, Brother Yang didn't even urge me..."

You really can't talk about people behind their backs.

Speak of the devil, Yang Wen calls.

"Hi, Brother Yang!"

"Gu Zhimiao, where's the song? Where's the New Year's Eve song?"

Yang Wen came up and started asking a barrage of questions, his voice was so loud that it could be heard without turning on the amplifier.

"Ah... I was so busy that I forgot..."

"you……"

"I'll write it right away. Don't worry. Give me a few minutes. Trust my speed, okay?" Gu Zhimiao said quickly.

"The director team called me today and I realized that you didn't submit the song!"

"Don't worry, let me explain."

"Okay, you can make an excuse."

She walked towards her nanny car while talking on the phone.

Wang Xiaoya took a step forward, opened the car door, and took out a tablet computer, headphones, and a stylus from the car.

Gu Zhimiao got in the car. Wang Xiaoya quickly put the things in her hands away and handed the pen to Gu Zhimiao.

"Brother Yang, I wanted to bring the song "Tomorrow Will Be Better" to the New Year's Eve party at first, but I felt that the charity performance needed it more, so I took it out first."

"Well, then you should have prepared other songs."

"The charity show has never stopped since it started. I really didn't think about it at all. I will write a new one right away."

Yang Wen shouted, "Since you haven't written anything yet, wait and let me finish what I have to say."

"You said."

Gu Zhimiao was like a well-behaved baby, waiting for Yang Wen to give him the task.

"The boss's intention is to release a cheerful, light-hearted song about spring this time."

Yang Wen recalled the phone call from his superiors: "In the cold winter, we experienced an earthquake, and people's hearts also experienced an earthquake. At this time, we need soothing songs even more."

"Oh!"

"In fact, the song 'Tomorrow Will Be Better' that you sang at that time was very suitable, but you had already used it, and I heard that the Central Radio and Television Station also included this song in this evening party, so you had to write a song that was completely different from this one."

"I know this. I already have an idea. I will write it down right away. Then I will send it to Manager Wu and ask Brother Feng to help revise the arrangement."

Gu Zhimiao had already figured it out in his mind.

"Well, you should go to the main station for rehearsal as soon as possible. They have already rehearsed once. You can't let the people at the main station wait for you, right?!"

"The charity performance here has ended. I was planning to return to the capital today."

"The costumes have been arranged for you here, so you don't have to worry about it. When we get back, I will ask the New Year's Eve party production team to contact Xiaoya, and you can go directly to the rehearsal. Remember to keep it a secret, and be low-key before entering the venue, so as not to be photographed by reporters."

“I can only say that I will try my best.”

"What do you mean?"

"Just now Shirley told me that this time the station invited many people who participated in the charity performance to attend this party, so the paparazzi must be very busy, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense and write the song quickly."

"Good Le!"

Gu Zhimiao quickly called the system!

[Beep! 】

[Entertainment system version 1.5, at your service]

[Host needs detected, use popularity points to exchange for treasure chests]

[System Reward: Treasure Box*1. ]

[The treasure chest is opening automatically...]

[Obtain the song "Shang Chunshan"]

The current version 1.5 is much more advanced than the previous version. The song had already been exchanged before Gu Zhimiao even opened his mouth.

Occasionally, multiple songs would even be provided for Gu Zhimiao to choose from.

The upgraded version 1.5 has stopped the forced loop. Even if the emotional value reaches the standard, it will only provide songs and will not be forced to loop infinitely in the mind.

His singing skills have also been upgraded from elementary to intermediate level, and Gu Zhimiao can now easily perform many difficult songs.

The international music library is also open, so foreign songs can be selected at will.

Therefore, Gu Zhimiao must win the "Almighty Creator" and participate in the international competition.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of this international music library?

After experiencing this earthquake, Gu Zhimiao may have understood the purpose of the entertainment system.

She met Xu Xuanjuan again. Although they did not have face-to-face communication, they understood each other some things.

Gu Zhimiao, Shirley and their team returned to Beijing together and participated in the program rehearsal the next day.

There is only one week left until New Year's Eve.

After the third rehearsal of the show, the evening party director Gong Shaoqing found Gu Zhimiao.

"Ms. Gu, the director team hopes that you can be the first to perform "Shang Chun Shan", but you can't sing it solo. Can you accept that?"

Gu Zhimiao was still a little surprised: "Director, do you mean to open with this song?"

"Well, because the opening of this rehearsal was not good, the opening program was rejected. If you sing this song solo, it needs to be changed..."

Gong Shaoqing wanted to explain to Gu Zhimiao the arrangements for the entire party, blah blah.

But Gu Zhimiao directly interrupted his spell.

"I agree. This song is best sung by three people. Of course, it doesn't matter if there are more people. It just means each person will get fewer words."

"what……"

Gong Shaoqing was originally afraid that Gu Zhimiao would not agree, and wanted to argue with her, but in the end she agreed directly.

"Director, do you have any singers to recommend?"

Gu Zhimiao asked excitedly, not feeling at all that the director's arrangement had stolen her limelight.

This was also the first time that Gong Shaoqing met such an easy-to-talk-to creator.

The creators he had worked with before were all extremely arrogant, and their eyes seemed to be grown on top of their heads.

He would not allow any changes to the songs, let alone having other people sing his works. He would not stop until the backstage was in chaos.

"Who do you think are suitable? You can choose from those currently participating in the rehearsal."

Gong Shaoqing threw the ball back and asked Gu Zhimiao to provide a candidate.

"As long as you think it's appropriate..."

"Please recommend a few people first..."

"Director, you are the one who makes the decision. I will follow your instructions!"

“Please recommend…”

The two of them went back and forth, passing the buck to each other for a long time.

Until Fu Yun pushed open the door of the lounge, with a smile on his face, he volunteered and asked, "Can I?"

Gong Shao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Zhimiao. Gu Zhimiao looked at Fu Yun. Is it not possible for him to speak up?

If Fu Yun was rejected, he would definitely be very sad, right?

In the early days of recording "Tomorrow Will Be Better", Gu Zhimiao felt that Fu Yun sang very well and could develop into a professional singer.

"sure!"

Shirley then walked in with Liu Qibo in her arms and asked with a smile, "Can we?"

Yu Qingfang pulled Zhou Feng in and asked, "Can we?"

Yang Yawen also joined in the fun: "I want to sing too, can I?"

Gong Shaoqing didn't expect that so many people would actively fight for this song, and finally he had no choice but to discuss it with all the directors in the director team.

We selected three popular men and three women to form three pairs.

Since Liu Qibo and Fu Yun were not professional singers, they were trained individually for one day and made it to the fourth rehearsal.

After everyone changed into formal performance attire and memorized their positions, the six of them prepared for rehearsal backstage.

It was their first show, and even though they had rehearsed individually in the rehearsal room beforehand, they were still a little nervous on the official stage.

Six people cheering each other on!

After the host announced the show, the music started and the dance team came out first.

Yu Qingfang and Zhou Feng held hands and were the first to appear, surrounded by dancers.

[In February, the willow trees are intoxicated by the spring smoke; in March, the mountains are covered with green grass]

[The most beautiful thing is the April sky. The spring water of the river is as green as blue]

Shirley and Liu Qibo followed closely behind————

[The spring scenery keeps people awake, and the spring rain fills the pond and calls the water lilies]

[Spring flowers are in full bloom, and swallows are chirping; the spring breeze is full of youth]

Gu Zhimiao and Fu Yun quickly followed, standing at a fixed point, waiting for the music to reach the part they were singing, and the lift platform under their feet slowly rose up -

[I went to Chunshan to ask you to come and see me. I have been missing you for a year.]

[Today was originally an ordinary day, but it became extraordinary because I met you]

The CCTV only holds this kind of gala once a year, and broadcasts it live simultaneously at home and abroad.

Therefore, there really cannot be any mistakes in this party.

Except Liu Qibo, the other five still have programs to perform.

So after the first show, you have to quickly go backstage to change clothes and prepare for the next show.

Liu Qibo went directly from the performer's position to the host's position to announce the next program and connect with the show.

The fifth platoon adjusted the clothing of all personnel.

The sixth row adjusted the positions.

After the seventh rehearsal, the superiors rejected two songs, saying that they did not meet the theme requirements.

The country has just experienced a major disaster. How could there be so many love songs at a historically significant evening party?

So we directly killed the two duet songs.

After obtaining Gu Zhimiao's consent, the program team used the song "Love Each Other" to fill the vacancy.

But there is another song in which the superior leaders require that we should have both big love and small love, with priorities.

I was not very satisfied with the songs submitted.

Therefore, Gu Zhimiao was directly pulled to a meeting with the leaders.

Gu Zhimiao was confused by the leaders' words that couldn't be more official. It took him a long time to understand what they meant.

After the meeting, Gu Zhimiao asked Gong Shaoqing nervously, "Director, there are 40 to 50 programs in a gala, and the songs I composed only account for one tenth. Isn't this a bit bad?"

Gong Shaoqing took the thermos cup, glanced at her and said, "What's wrong with that? It means your work is good! It's not like we won't pay you. If I ask you to write, you write. If I ask you to sing, you sing!"

Gu Zhimiao thought about it and agreed.

It’s not like I don’t pay, and it’s not like I can’t gain popularity.

"You should think carefully about what kind of song to write. You are under a lot of pressure!"

Gong Shao patted Gu Zhimiao on the shoulder and said, "Young man, time is short and the task is heavy. You must roll up your sleeves and work hard! I am optimistic about you!"

This is too unreasonable.

Gu Zhimiao immediately surrendered and said, "Okay, okay, I get it!"

“I’ll get back to writing right away!”

Gu Zhimiao said goodbye to Gong Shaoqing and walked out of the main station building, only to find that it was snowing outside.

This is the first snow of this year!

[Note] "Shang Chunshan" is a song sung by Wei Chen, Wei Daxun, and Bai Jingting, with lyrics written by Yu Zhuer and music composed by Zhang Chao. It premiered on the "2024 CCTV Spring Festival Gala" on February 2, 9.
