Ten years of film queen, finally became a top star

Chapter 128 New Year's Eve in Northern Hubei

After improving my singing skills with my teacher, the rehearsal and recording of the Hubei Northern TV Station’s New Year’s Eve Gala began.

Returning to northern Hubei again, Yu Jiang couldn't help but miss the month he wore military uniform.

I took a photo at the airport and sent it to the Eagle Training Camp group chat. Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaoran and Du Miaomiao were also in northern Hubei.

Although the filming of "The Female Eagle" will take several months to start, the roles played by these two actors require quite high professionalism.

Therefore, they had to start training earlier than Yu Jiang, and their main training was parachuting in complex terrain.

The three chatted for a while, and Yu Jiang also arrived at the TV station.

Northern Hubei TV Station has never had much experience in attracting audiences, but they are good at finding new ways to present their evening parties.

This year's national trend style New Year's Eve party is a very eye-catching design, which stands out among many TV stations' New Year's Eve parties.

Yu Jiang's program was not new, and could even be said to be a bit old-fashioned. There were four actors in total, Mei, Shang, Cheng, and Xun, and each sang a representative piece of their work.

Because it is a compilation of amateur opera performances, the other three co-actors are not professional opera actors, but TV drama actors.

However, they all have one thing in common, that is, they have all performed in opera-themed works.

There are two actresses, one plays the second female role of a Dan-Dama in the TV series, and the other sings the Shang style's Princess Shuangyang aria in the show.

Another one who also played a related role in the movie was said to have learned a piece of Xun-style matchmaker.

The only male actor, Huo Jingshu, plays the founder of the Process School, Cheng Yanqiu. This is a movie about the life of Cheng Yanqiu.

He won the Formosa Award for Best Actor for this movie, and the singing segments in the movie also used Huo Jingshu's original voice.

This is a very difficult thing to do, and it is also thanks to his opera skills as a Han opera actor.

From the actors found by Hubei Northern TV, we can see that this program does not require too much rehearsal, as everyone has a solid foundation.

In fact, Yu Jiang didn't need to learn it specifically, but since it was a performance for the audience, she still strived for perfection.

The backstage dressing rooms are arranged according to the programs, and all the actors in a program share one dressing room.

Gong Jianan's schedule was just right, leaving no time for slackness, and Yu Jiang was directly led into the backstage by the TV station staff.

The backstage dressing room of Hubei North TV Station is different from that of other TV stations. It is not divided by star status, but by program.

All the actors in each show shared a dressing room. When Yu Jiang arrived, Huo Jingshu and the actor who sang Princess Shuangyang had already arrived.

Yu Jiang and Huo Jingshu are in the same circle, and she has never been very familiar with people who make TV dramas.

The two had met and talked on other occasions, but they were not familiar with each other. Huo Jingshu, who was putting on makeup, saw Yu Jiang and quickly stood up to say hello.

"Teacher Yu, long time no see. This is the first time I see you at an occasion like the New Year's Eve party."

Yu Jiang said with a smile: "Didn't Mr. Huo hear the news? I am here for the popular stars now. I will come to this kind of occasion more often in the future."

Huo Jingshu smiled helplessly, "Who isn't? If there really is no script for the role."

The two of them exchanged a few brief words, and Yu Jiang also got to know the cute-looking "Princess Shuangyang" next to them.

The three of them didn't waste time on greetings. I heard that the actress who was going to play the role of Matchmaker had already put on makeup and went to practice.

The actress who played the matchmaker was also under great pressure. All three of them received guidance from orthodox successors during the filming, except for this matchmaker who had the weakest foundation.

Half of the morning was spent on putting on makeup and changing clothes, and it would be quick by the time all the styling was done.

The four short segments all have old lyrics, nothing new, and the rehearsal is just a walk-through, and then we can start recording directly.

We have makeup rehearsal in the morning and recording of the evening party in the afternoon, so lunch is very troublesome.

Princess Shuangyang was able to take off her helmet, but the other three were miserable; the most they could do was take off their costumes.

Yu Jiang felt dizzy from the water yarn that was tied around his head, and he didn't eat much for lunch.

After dinner, the program was officially recorded. There was no audience at the party, it was a pure program recording.

Yu Jiang's program was in the middle. Except for Hongniang who went to sharpen her skills before the show, the other three watched the show from a place where they would not get in the way.

The opening dance was the classical dance "Nine Songs", imitating the ancient Chu State's sacrifices. The performers held feathers in their hands and danced to the beat of the chimes.

Generally, the opening dance of New Year's Eve parties is lively and cheerful, but the opening dance of Hubei Northern TV Station is solemn and dignified.

The second program was the Han Opera "Meilong Town", and the selected singing segment was the most lively one.

Huo Jingshu, who was sitting next to Yu Jiang, heard the familiar tune and sang a few lines. After the show, he showed off to Yu Jiang and the others.

"You still understand, right? They are my junior brothers and sisters from the drama school."

Seeing his proud look, Yu Jiang and "Princess Shuangyang" complimented him perfunctorily.

After the Chu Opera "Sending Fragrant Tea", the Huangmei Opera "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and the Jingzhou Flower Drum Opera "Standing on the Flower Wall", it was Yu Jiang and his group's turn.

The evening party was halfway through recording, and since most of the performers in the beginning were professional opera actors, the recording went exceptionally smoothly with few stops.

Yu Jiang's program was the watershed of the evening party. Before that it was pure opera, and after that, celebrities that everyone knew came on stage.

The program "Liyuan Amateur Opera" can be considered an excess, as these four "stars" are all considered to be professionals in opera.

The "matchmaker" came back just before going on stage, and she looked visibly nervous.

According to the order of "Mei, Shang, Cheng and Xun", Hongniang was the last one. After standing on the stage and listening to three segments, she was not as nervous as at the beginning.

Yu Jiang’s Mu Guiying took the lead in the opening performance, imitating teacher Di Jiuyan exactly, with a full flavor of Mei style.

Princess Shuangyang was also instructed by a descendant of the Shang School. Her singing may not be as good as that of professional Peking Opera actors, but her movements are absolutely standard.

Not to mention Huo Jingshu's lock purse. If you didn't know that he was Huo Jingshu, you would definitely mistake him for the orthodox successor of the Cheng school.

Seeing the three of them handling the situation with ease, the "matchmaker" was no longer nervous. Even if she failed, at least the show was up and running.

Unexpectedly, the official recording of "The Matchmaker" was even better than the rehearsal, with her eyes, eyebrows and movements showing the liveliness and playfulness of the Xun School.

When they were performing this show, several professional opera actors were listening in the front, and everyone, including the director, gave it unanimous praise.

Backstage, a few people came up and praised them in the local dialect.

Fortunately, Huo Jingshu is a native of northern Hubei, otherwise none of the remaining three would understand.

Even though the New Year's Eve party of the Hubei Northern TV Station ended perfectly, Yu Jiang still had to stay in Hubei Northern.

The promotion of "The Love of Love" has begun, and she has to wait for the main creators to come to the show to promote the movie together.

This time she was going to be a guest on her first variety show, which was a segment of the variety show she was not good at.
