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 "The Good Singer of Xia Guo", this time Jiang Kan and the others no longer have to travel long distances, the filming location is in Rongcheng.

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 everyone 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 program."

He recognized Jiang Kan who was walking in the front at a glance, held his hands in his and kept shaking them, as if a fan had met his idol.

"Ah, hello, Director Zhang, nice to meet you too..."

Looking at the overly enthusiastic look of the other party, Jiang Kan always felt that something was wrong. He turned back to look at Zhang Lingling beside him, but saw a mysterious smile on her face.

"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I am 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 Rain Night" and "Like You"

, I have listened to it hundreds of times! You being able to participate in this show this time gave us huge support and confidence!"

Director Zhang was like a little fanboy, holding Jiang Kan's hands and talking non-stop.

"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. Zhang Lingling probably knew this too. 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..."

Seeing the other party's enthusiasm, Jiang Kan felt a little unbearable. He quickly broke free and pulled Boss Zhou over and introduced him.

"Hey, do you think there's a new band here?"

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, and had 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 the 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 thanks to 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 entourage, he went back to work, leaving only an assistant to receive them.

"Uncle Kan, hello 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 Director Zhang's position and led everyone into the studio building and to the door of a lounge.

"Please rest here for a while. After all the bands are in place, we will start recording today's game."

Xiao Wang smiled and made a "please" gesture, and brought everyone into this slightly luxurious lounge.

"Because we have already drawn lots before, we will have a direct competition soon. Our band will be the third one to appear, so please be prepared first."

Compared with "Good Singer", "Springtime of the Band" is not as difficult as them, and the process is relatively traditional and simple.

This actually made Jiang Kan feel very comfortable.

He really didn't want to face such a mean director like Huang Shengcai again. He didn't regard these singers as human beings at all, and he could deal with 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 bullying people.

Or maybe it's because they are very honest to begin with and don't bother doing these fancy things.

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 having to face a national audience soon, my heart beats so fast!"

Wang Shuai clutched his chest and looked around at the luxurious lounge, the large leather sofas, the huge TV screen, the exquisite decoration, and the table full of drinks sponsored by various sponsors.

I feel like I have never received such respect in my acting career.

"Hehe, me too, I didn't expect to be received so sincerely by someone again in my life..."

Li Bo picked up a carton of milk on the table, held it in his hand and looked at it:

"Hey, a box of milk like this costs at least thirty yuan on the market, 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 would be so generous and even reimburse our round-trip air tickets! I think when our band was just formed and performed in the magic city for the first time, the organizer didn't even provide us with accommodation.

Bag……"

The air conditioner in the room was turned on at full speed. Even though it was winter, the fat bassist was still sweating profusely.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on 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 the drum hammer in her hand relaxed and lay back, letting herself fall on the soft and large leather sofa. She drank the high-grade milk in her hand and said with emotion.

"Well, after all, we are just a band, not real stars..."

The lead singer, known as Brother Zhe, sighed and shook his head. He stared blankly at the huge TV screen where the picture had not yet appeared, and sighed helplessly.

"Yes, now we are all stars who work alone. The era of bands has long passed. We are just laggards chasing the dreams of the past and reluctant to open our eyes and wake up..."

The burly and tall guitarist Amon 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 across the country, we will then 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.

…

"Dear friends in front of the TV and friends online, good evening to everyone!"

"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, enthusiastically announcing the start of the program 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. The performance of all bands 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 8 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 band with applause, 'Wild Rose'!"

The host bowed to the audience and quickly left 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 should open their eyes and take a good look at them to see what their level is and be aware of them!"

Lao Zhou put down the drink bottle in his hand and stared at the 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 caused 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 follow martial ethics, you don't follow martial ethics!"

Li Bo also widened his eyes, watching the beautiful and well-figured women on the screen carrying musical instruments on their backs and getting ready for the performance.

"Haha, it's interesting. It's a different way, isn't it..."
