The comprehensive rating of last year's Spring Festival Gala was 47.

Well, the ratings are pretty good compared to what they used to be.

However, although the ratings are not bad, in fact, there are more and more bad reviews of the Spring Festival Gala among the people, and everyone said that the sense of expectation of the Spring Festival Gala has become less and less in recent years, everyone feels that the Spring Festival Gala is the same, there is really nothing new, and even the song "Drunk Tonight", which has always been popular, has always been difficult to escape the doom and was ruthlessly disliked.

Of course, there are some likes in addition to these.

Mr. Zhao Bengang's sketches have some highlights and are not bad, but when watching the Spring Festival Gala this year, the audience felt that Mr. Zhao was obviously not as neutral as when he was young, and even when he spoke his lines, he always gave people an indescribable tiredness.

Zhao Bengang is old after all!

Some are unable to do so, and may not be able to participate in next year's Spring Festival Gala again?

This is the idea that everyone has after watching last year's sketch.

The reality really disappointed everyone.

Teacher Zhao Bengang would show his face in major programs in previous years, but this year is completely different.

Not only has Mr. Zhao Bengang not appeared in the public eye for a whole year, but he has also been photographed by the media in the circle many times that Mr. Zhao was taken to the United States by the team for treatment, and even the photos of the case were revealed by unknown paparazzi.

The medical records show that Mr. Zhao has pneumonia and has undergone major surgery.

Under such circumstances, how did Mr. Zhao participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala?

It's hard in general.

If there is no Teacher Zhao's Spring Festival Gala, is it still the Spring Festival Gala?

No one can answer this question.

At this critical juncture, Li Mingrui took over the job of the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Li Mingrui said that the pressure was great, although he said that this year's Spring Festival Gala must be changed and strive to give the audience a refreshing feeling, but in fact, he was still very panicked.

Why?

Mr. Zhao Bengang has been looking for him several times, and he is indeed recuperating, although his physical condition is very stable, he politely declined this request to go to the Spring Festival Gala.

He said that he had participated in the Spring Festival Gala for more than ten years, and he was too tired.

He's old.

He wanted to rest.

I'll leave the rest to the young people, and there are really no good works that can be produced this year.

When Li Mingrui heard this, he had no choice at all.

It is estimated that Mr. Zhao Bengang is indeed helpless.

Then his eyes fell on the second person.

This person is Lu Yuan.

Last year, Lu Yuan relied on a song "Always Go Home to See" to make the Spring Festival Gala glow with almost record-breaking ratings, if this year's Spring Festival Gala is without Lu Yuan, then the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala will not only be impossible to reach a new high, but will definitely fall to an unacceptable point.

So since he took over the task of the Spring Festival Gala, he immediately began to contact Lu Yuan, hoping that Lu Yuan could participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

But......

He never expected Lu Yuan's company to refuse, not only refused, but also said it very bluntly.

It's basically a reply like "Thank you Director Li for your kindness, I'm sorry that Mr. Lu is not going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala ...... this year".

Lu Yuan said that he wanted to go home for the New Year.

After Li Mingrui heard the news of this refusal, he was a little stunned.

Don't want to attend the Spring Festival Gala?

What's going on?

What does the Spring Festival Gala symbolize, doesn't Lu Yuan know?

Why not attend?

At first, Li Mingrui thought that Lu Yuan was setting up a score to talk about conditions, but he was going to spend Lu Yuan first, and when the time was almost up, he felt that Lu Yuan would call him.

Pity......

Lu Yuan really didn't call him yet!

Just when the rehearsal day was slowly approaching, he realized that Lu Yuan really didn't want to participate.

Is it true that you want to go home for the New Year?

He was in a hurry.

....................................

In the conference room, the smell of West Lake Longjing is overflowing.

Well, it's the authentic West Lake Longjing, not the West Lake Youjing.

Lu Yuan reflected several times and felt that he had indeed been a little picky before.

Picking on the door is not a no-no.

To be a man must have a pattern, and I must also have a pattern!

So, he gritted his teeth and bought some tea leaves for the guests to use.

"Mr. Lu, today we are here to invite you to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala, at the same time, I have discussed with the station, as long as you agree to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, basically the CCTV stage programs will open the ......door to convenience for your company in the future" Li Mingrui did not play with Lu Yuan after seeing Lu Yuan, but directly talked about his own conditions.

He knew Lu Yuan's urine nature, and he knew that this product basically didn't need anything else, and the only thing he needed was sincerity.

Sincerity he understands.

He felt like he had done a good job.

"Sorry...... Director Li, I want to go home for the New Year this year......" Lu Yuan shook his head after looking at Li Mingrui's sincere face.

"Mr. Lu, I also specially applied for a hard fee that is not too much but not too little...... Mr. Lu, I hope you can feel my sincerity. ”

"Director Li, I'm not a money-hungry person...... Moreover, Director Li is really not a question of money or not. ”

"Ten million!" Li Mingrui stared at Lu Yuan, and finally said a number.

In fact, the fee approved by the station for him was only about 5 million, and the other 5 million was paid by him privately.

After all, he is old, and he really doesn't want to let himself lose his old age.

Spending five million to add some viewership would be perfectly acceptable to him.

Director Li ...... It's really not a question of money or not. Lu Yuan was silent for a long time, and then stared at Li Mingrui...... Have you ever heard the song "Always Go Home and See"?"

"I've heard it, after all, this is the song you sang at the Spring Festival Gala last year..."

"Although I sang "Always Go Home to See", in fact, the number of times I went home in the past two years was really very small...... In total, it doesn't add up to more than a week...... Director Li, can you understand this feeling? That feeling of wanting to go home and celebrate the New Year with my parents...... "Lu Yuan is very sincere.

He does like money.

However, if you compare the money with going home, Lu Yuan hopes to go home and watch the Spring Festival Gala with his parents.

"......" Li Mingrui was silent.

He can understand.

He really saw a feeling of disinterest in Lu Yuan's eyes.

Everyone has the right to go home for the New Year.

"There is a saying that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but does not wait......" Lu Yuan looked at Li Mingrui and was still silent, and added again: "I want to spend more time with my parents while they are still young." ”

"Is there really no way to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala?" Li Mingrui looked up and glanced at Lu Yuan again, and asked again.

"I'm sorry, Director Li, well, there's another reason that I'm going to move the company a year ago......"

"Moving the company? Oh! Then I wish Mr. Lu a high sesame flower. After hearing Lu Yuan's repeated refusal, and at the same time unmoved voice, Li Mingrui was disappointed in his heart, but he still showed a kind smile on the surface.

If there is no teacher Lu Yuan and Zhao Bengang for this year's Spring Festival Gala, how much will the ratings of this year's Spring Festival Gala fall?

He didn't know.

This is bound to be a difficult question to answer.

Zhou Xianzu originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Lu Yuan's expression, he also knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

"Xiao Lu...... When are you going to move your company?"

"About five days from now. ”

"Five days later...... That ......"

"Uh...... Brother Zhou, I hope you can keep this secret. ”

"Confidentiality?"

"Yes, confidentiality, I want to be a little low-key this time...... I don't want to make a splash. ”

"It's a good thing to move the company, why keep a low profile?"

"That's it...... Well, how to say it...... I've been in the limelight a lot this year, and I've realized that I have too many things to fall short of......"

"Xiao Lu, what are you planning for next year?"

"I'll go to Yanying......"

"Yan Ying...... Xiao Lu, are you going to be Yan Ying's lecturer?"

"It's not...... I'm going to learn about it. ”

"Well, yes, yes, learn...... Wait, what did you just say? You say you study?"

"Well, study, I want to learn something systematically, including piano music, including writing scripts, including some basic knowledge of lyrics and songs...... Well, there's so much to learn, and of course, the focus is on the piano. Lu Yuan said this seriously.

“？？？”

“？？？？”

When they heard this, Zhou Xianzu and Li Mingrui glanced at each other.

Both of them were stunned.

Immediately after, they looked at Lu Yuan like ghosts.

What's the situation?

Fantasy, right?

Do you study piano music, learn scripts, write songs......

Is this humor or a joke?

That's not right!

It's not like a humorous joke!

When they saw that Lu Yuan had always maintained a serious attitude, not like a joke at all, they couldn't understand it even more.

Learn?

What to learn?

Is it to learn how to go to heaven? No, he is already in heaven.

What else do you learn?

Learn how to pretend to be forced?

"Xiao Lu, I really didn't understand what you meant. ”

"Hehe, Brother Zhou, Director Li, how do you say it? In fact, what we see is not necessarily true...... I don't really know how to write songs and play the piano......"

“......”

“......”

The two looked at each other.

Not very good at writing songs and playing the piano?

Listen, is this what people say?

Your sister!

They suspected that Lu Yuan was pretending.

....................................

Half an hour later, when Li Mingrui and Zhou Xianzu saw that there was really no way to let Lu Yuan go to the Spring Festival Gala, they finally decided to leave.

After all, as time gets tighter and tighter, they really have a lot to do.

Just as they were about to say goodbye, Lu Yuan hesitated slightly.

"Whew!"

"Director Li ......"

"Mr. Lu?"

"You wait a little longer for me ......"

"Huh?"

They looked at Lu Yuan suspiciously, and then turned around and walked into the office, and Lu Yuan walked out after about ten minutes.

Director Li ...... The name of this song is "Unforgettable Tonight", and I want to use it instead of "Drunk Tonight......"

"Hmm...... This ......"

Lu Yuan handed Li Mingrui a piece of paper, and Li Mingrui looked at it and saw the words "Unforgettable Tonight".

When he saw the following content and lyrics, he was suddenly a little surprised.

There is a feeling of warmth.

This......

The lyrics are so well written!

Although he hasn't tried the tune, Lu Yuan's songs are never too bad.

He still believed in this.

So, you just said that you don't know how to write songs or something, so you are really pretending?

Pretending to be all to me?

Li Mingrui's mood is slightly complicated.

"I know that you are reforming this year's Spring Festival Gala, although I can't participate in the Spring Festival Gala, I hope to help you a little......" Lu Yuan looked at Li Mingrui sincerely.

"This ......" is complicated, and then there is a burst of emotion.

Director Li ...... Take it, and if I can help in the future, you can call me......"

"Thank you!" Li Mingrui nodded, and then looked at Lu Yuan: "By the way, are the artists under your company interested in going to the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Hmm...... I'll have to ask them, but I'm sure they won't say no. ”

"If there's a good show in the next two days, feel free to contact me! ”

"Yes, is Mr. Zhao Bengang not going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala this year?"

"Well, he's not in good health...... At the same time, he doesn't have a good script for the time being. ”

Director Li ...... If there is a good script, will Mr. Zhao be at the Spring Festival Gala?"

"This ...... Can I contact him? Wait, do you have a good script?"

"A good script is not necessarily, the key is that the inheritance of the sketch cannot be broken, what do you say?"

"Yes!"

Lu Yuan looked into the distance slightly.

There are others in the company who seem to be idle as well.

If they are interested, then with the help of sketches, can they also show their faces on the Spring Festival Gala?

Such as......

Wang Hao, this kid can go and roar twice, right?

After Lu Yuan looked at Li Mingrui, his heart suddenly opened up......
