Chen Minhao probably guessed what he wanted to say from Zhang Xushan's foreshadowing, but Chen Minhao still asked with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite." What's going on?"

Zhang Xushan looked at Chen Minhao and said, "Can you sing a new song in the Spring Festival Gala?"

"New song?" Chen Minhao pretended to be surprised.

Zhang Xushan drank a glass of liquor by himself and entered the complaint mode: "In recent years, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala have been getting lower and lower, but more than ten years ago, the Spring Festival Gala was an indispensable part of the Spring Festival. There is a Spring Festival Gala before it is called the New Year. On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family will happily watch the Spring Festival Gala in front of the TV and enjoy the moment of reunion. The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala can even reach 40%, and being the director of the Spring Festival Gala at that time is the happiest and most rewarding.

But now the times have changed, and the people's attention to the Spring Festival Gala is getting lower and lower. In the past few years, after the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast every year, many viewers raised various questions about the Spring Festival Gala and complained about the Spring Festival Gala. However, in the past two years, the audience's doubts and complaints have become less. It's not because the Spring Festival Gala satisfies everyone, but because the Spring Festival Gala has been ignored by everyone, and it has become more and more nonexistent. Now the pressure of being the director of the Spring Festival Gala is also increasing. ”

Chen Minhao filled Zhang Xushan with a cup and comforted him: "Director Zhang, don't put too much pressure on yourself, this is the overall trend and trend of the times." ”

Zhang Xushan sighed and said, "Hey, you're right, this is the change of the times." Today's young people have changed, and they don't watch the Spring Festival Gala on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve. In the past, people basically had nothing else to do except watch the Spring Festival Gala, but now people can do a lot after eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and young people now either play mahjong, or play cards, or simply play mobile phones as usual, and some young people simply take advantage of the New Year to go abroad to play. ”

Chen Minhao nodded, thinking: I filmed "Detective" in Curry Country during the Chinese New Year last year, and I didn't return to China for the Spring Festival. On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire crew made dumplings together. Although the Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV at that time, few people watched it, let alone discussed it.

Chen Minhao could only fill Zhang Xushan with another glass of liquor and clink glasses with him to show comfort.

Zhang Xushan looked at Chen Minhao with attentive and eager eyes: "Chen Minhao, you have to help me, if you don't help me, I can't think of any other way." ”

Chen Minhao couldn't tell for a while whether Zhang Xushan was complimenting himself or whether he really thought so in his own heart.

If he really thinks so, Chen Minhao feels that the director of the Spring Festival Gala is a bit naïve.

The reason for the decline in the attention of the Spring Festival Gala that Zhang Xushan just analyzed: it is indeed one of the factors that people's entertainment methods have become richer now, but this is only an external factor. The most fundamental reason for the decline in the attention of the Spring Festival Gala is that the quality of the Spring Festival Gala has declined.

More than ten years ago, the Spring Festival Gala was down-to-earth, and compared with the current Spring Festival Gala, there is more sarcasm and less praise.

Chen Minhao once saw a saying that the reason for the birth of the Spring Festival Gala: The Spring Festival Gala was born to let the people adapt to the situation and culture after the reform and opening up. In other words, the Spring Festival Gala tries to regulate and influence the relationship between the general situation and the people, so as to promote social progress.

Therefore, the sketches of the Spring Festival Gala at that time were funny and connotative, and they were appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar. Some of the sketches of the Spring Festival Gala more than ten years ago still seem to be relish, but the current Spring Festival Gala is not very down-to-earth, preachy, and sensational.

Will Chen Minhao say these words to Zhang Xushan?

Of course not, he's not stupid.

Because of some words, Zhang Xushan, as the director of the Spring Festival Gala, can say that he can complain about the Spring Festival Gala unscrupulously, but Chen Minhao cannot. Only the governors were allowed to set fires, and the people were not allowed to light lamps. The truth that this sentence teaches us is: since we are the people, we must know what to do.

Chen Minhao doesn't think that the current situation and reputation of the Spring Festival Gala can be changed by relying on himself as a singer. A singer can't carry the banner of the Spring Festival Gala, even if he is a singer who can plagiarize.

Chen Minhao is confident that he will come up with a song that is suitable for the Spring Festival Gala and is highly sung, but he is not confident to meet Zhang Xushan's expectations - to reverse the situation of the Spring Festival Gala.

Chen Minhao shook his head with a smile and said: "I just released an album, my qualifications are still young, you asked me to sing a song from the past on stage, I can try hard, but you asked me to write a brand new song in a short period of time and go to the Spring Festival Gala stage to sing." I'm afraid I'll mess up, I'm sorry for you, after all, so many people across the country are watching the Spring Festival Gala. ”

Zhang Xushan said: "Oh, Xiao Chen, you are too modest, from your debut to the present, which song have you sung that is not good? And he has already heard that when Hu Defa helped you shoot the MV, the time for you to write a song is very fast, and it only takes about a week to write a song." ”

Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment, and thought: "Zhang Xushan arranged me clearly, he came here completely prepared." ”

Zhang Xushan continued to say sincerely: "If the ratings of this year's Spring Festival Gala are not much higher than those of some variety shows, it will be my old face from the end of the year to the end of the year." Therefore, I hope that through you singing a new song in the Spring Festival Gala, to increase the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala, I have already thought about it, I will keep the program list of the Spring Festival Gala strictly confidential in the early stage, and then announce the list of performers a month before the Spring Festival Gala, and release the grapevine that you are going to sing a new song in the Spring Festival Gala. I confirmed the news a week before the Spring Festival Gala and made a full gimmick. Thus increasing the ratings.

Chen Minhao found that he wanted to be crooked, Zhang Xushan may not have thought about reversing the predicament of the Spring Festival Gala from the beginning, he only wanted to increase the ratings.

In the context of ratings as the sole purpose, whether it is a white cat or a black cat catching a mouse, it is a good cat. As a result, the management activities centered on their new songs came into being. It can only be said that Zhang Xushan is worthy of being a director who has been in the field of commercial films for many years.

But isn't this just drinking water to quench your thirst? This year this is the solution, what will we do next year? Two gimmicks?

Zhang Xushan saw Chen Minhao's brows tightened, and when he was thinking, he was afraid that he would say the word "no", so he decided to take advantage of the hot iron: "Now the director of the Spring Festival Gala will generally not be re-elected for three consecutive terms, so this year's Spring Festival Gala may be the last one I directed." If you do me a favor, I'll owe you a great favor. ”

Chen Minhao nodded and said, "I'll try, but I have a small request." ”

Zhang Xushan squeezed out a bright smile on his face: "You said, if you want to adjust the order of the show, as long as it is within a reasonable range, I can help you arrange it." ”

Chen Minhao shook his head and said: "That's not it, the order of the program can be arranged according to your rhythm, I must fully cooperate with the order of the program, I just want 2 Spring Festival tickets in the front row." ”

Zhang Xushan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you want to give it to your parents? Haha, it's a little meaning." ”

Chen Minhao picked up a glass of liquor and said, "Director Zhang, thank you for giving me this opportunity, I'll try it hard." I'll write the song first, and if you don't like the song you write in the end, you can just tell me, don't be embarrassed. ”

Chen Minhao struggled for a while, and finally agreed, mainly based on three considerations.

First, the attention of the Spring Festival Gala has indeed decreased in recent years, but the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is still attractive to Chen Minhao, so Chen Minhao still hopes that he can win this "copy achievement" in his heart. And if you shine on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it will help you improve your coffee position and get closer to the goal of global superstar.

Second, Chen's father has an inexplicable attachment to Chen Minhao's TV and the Spring Festival Gala. Chen Minhao hopes to be able to fulfill Chen's father's wishes.

Third, no matter what Zhang Xushan's original intention was, he helped him connect with Hu Defa, which in a certain sense contributed to his role in "Detective". The influence of "Detective" on himself is self-evident, and if you are a man, you have to repay your kindness.

After seeing Chen Minhao nodding, Zhang Xushan laughed and said: "Great, I can rest assured that you write songs, I should give you a drink." By the way, I have a small request. With your trump card, my heart fell back into my stomach, but it is difficult to make a forest alone, in addition to your original song, I also hope to find some other influential singers. I heard that you and Yao Yiyi are very familiar, why don't you help introduce me?"

Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and said, "I am very familiar with her? Who did you listen to, although I have cooperation with her, I don't have much personal relationship." ”

Zhang Xushan said in surprise: "Ah, aren't you familiar with each other? I asked Yao Yiyi before and invited her to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, but she said that she was not familiar with life, so she politely refused." But then she said that if you participate in the Spring Festival Gala, she will also participate. That's why I thought you two knew each other well. ”
