The New Year's Eve concert is generally a star-studded concert held on some TV stations on the evening of December 31 before New Year's Day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It turned out that in that life, the New Year's Eve concert first appeared in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it was not until 2005 that Mango Satellite TV took advantage of the spring breeze of Supergirl to set a precedent in the country and held the first New Year's Eve concert in the mainland.

And in this life, how could Lu Chong let go of the New Year's Eve concert, an activity that can not only make money, but also brush up popularity and presence.

As early as the end of November, Lu Chong communicated with the people of CCTV that Huaxing Entertainment wanted to cooperate with CCTV to hold a New Year's Eve concert, but CCTV's main focus was already on organizing the Spring Festival Gala, and there was no spare energy or interest in holding a New Year's Eve concert.

Lu Chong had to negotiate with the TV stations in various provinces, originally negotiated with Beiping TV, but Beiping TV vetoed it because of his lack of experience, and negotiated with Modu TV, but it still didn't work, and finally talked with Xiangnan Economic Television.

At this time, there is no Mango Satellite TV, only Shonan Economic Television, and "Huanzhu Gege", which will create the first myth of Asian TV ratings in the future, is the self-made TV series of Shonan Economic Television, and the predecessor of Mango Satellite TV's ace program "Everyday Upward" in the future, "The More Strategy, the Happier You Are" is also the self-made program of Shonan Economic Television, and the leader of Shonan Economic Television is the famous director Ouyang in the future.

In the eyes of Director Ouyang, Lu Chong doesn't need to say much, Director Ouyang has already seen the value of the New Year's Eve concert, the two chatted on the phone, Lu Chong flew to Chang-Sha, the two sat down and chatted for more than an hour, and then determined the way of cooperation, Xiangnan Economic Television provided channels, venues, and hosts, and Lu Chong's Huaxia Entertainment provided singing guests.

Director Ouyang asked, "Brother Chong, which celebrities are you going to invite?" ”

Although Lu Chong is more than 20 years younger than Ouyang Taichang, people nowadays call Lu Chong Brother Chong regardless of their age, just like calling Zhou Xingxing as Xingye, Zhang Guorong as his elder brother, and Qi Qin as his little brother.

Lu Chong said with a smile: "Mainly our Huaxia Entertainment's signed artists, led by me, Lao Lang, Fushu, Yuquan, Sha Baoliang, Xie Yuxin, Ye Bei, Gao Yuanyuan, Xu Jinglei, Liu Bei, Ning Jing, Jia Jingwen, Tianxin, Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Liu Ye, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Guo Xiaodong, Mei Ting, Hu Jing, Yan Danchen, ......"

Director Ouyang was a little disappointed and shook his head: "Brother Chong, with all due respect, the artists under your name, except for you and Lao Lang, who are more famous, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Ye, Liu Bei, and Ning Jing are famous, the others are not famous, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have any ratings, and it will be difficult to attract any sponsors." ”

Lu Chong realized that if such a lineup was put out in 2016, it would definitely be star-studded to the point of blindness, which was a grand occasion only available at major film award ceremonies, and now it is 1996, not 2016, Servant Shu and Yuquan have not become popular, Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, and Huang Xiaoming have not become popular.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, thinking that he had taken the time to meet with several high-level executives and a few big names of Rolling Stone Records in Baodao a few days ago, and everyone was very agreeable, so he said: "I can bring a few big names of Rolling Stone Records, such as Zhou Huajian, Zhao Chuan, Chen Shuhua, Lin Yilian, Xin Xiaoqi, Zhang Xinzhe, Su Huilun, by the way, and Ren Xiaoqi, if you invite them, is this New Year's Eve concert qualified?" ”

Ouyang Tai was overjoyed: "If you can invite these big names, the ratings and sponsors don't have to worry!" ”

Lu Chong sighed in his heart, his popularity and appeal are still not enough, and he still depends on the two TV series this year and next year to make him popular.

Director Ouyang thought for a moment and asked: "Can you invite a few singers from Xiangjiang, and then invite a few singers from the mainland, our New Year's Eve concert must have a theme, I think it is still the theme of the return of Xiangjiang!" ”

Lu Chong nodded: "No problem, I have already thought of a few candidates." ”

He told Director Ouyang about his list, and Director Ouyang jumped up happily: "This arrangement is wonderful!" ”

The two men had agreed and acted separately.

Lu Chong's personality is like his name, reckless and impulsive, and impatient, but at best, he is resolute, and the day after signing the contract with Director Ouyang, he began to invite celebrities from all walks of life.

In addition to Zhao Chuan and Su Hui's wheel schedules, several big names in Rolling Stone Records, Zhou Huajian, Chen Shuhua, Lin Yilian, Xin Xiaoqi, Zhang Xinzhe, Ren Xiaoqi, and several Xiangjiang stars and mainland stars invited by Lu Chong have also been decided.

When Lu Chong passed the guest list to Director Ouyang, Director Ouyang began to do publicity, and Huaxing Entertainment also began to do publicity, Lu Chong just appeared on CCTV Entertainment News and announced that he would do a New Year's Eve concert, at the same time, major local TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, and BBS on the Internet all said that the New Year's Eve concert was broadcast as entertainment news, which actually played the role of advertising.

Because there are also New Year's Eve concerts and similar activities on Baodao and Xiangjiang, many big-name stars come and go in a hurry, and there is no time to rehearse at all, so Lu Chong simply does not rehearse and improvises live broadcast.

On the night of December 31, 1996, because there were so many singers arranged, each singer sang two songs, so the concert started at 6 o'clock.

The hosts of the concert are Hua Dan Qiu Xiao, Li Xiang and He Ling, the host of CCTV's "Big Windmill".

At this time, Wang Han, the first brother of Mango Channel, entered the newly launched Xiangnan Economic Television on November 5, 1996, and he was a newcomer who had just come in, and he was doing chores, and he had not yet had a relationship with Qiu Xiao, let alone ascended to the throne.

Although Lu Chong saw Wang Han at a glance when he was talking to Director Ouyang about things in Xiangnan Economic Television, he did not immediately recommend Wang Han to Director Ouyang, Wang Han still needs to precipitate for two years, and when Wang Han carries the camera to visit "Huanzhu Gege", he will recommend Wang Han to Director Ouyang.

When He Ling received Lu Chong's invitation, he was a little confused: "Brother Chong, you asked me to host a children's program host to host a New Year's Eve concert with big names, you won't make fun of me, right?" ”

Lu Chong smiled: "I believe in your hosting level and adaptability, don't let me down." If you host well, I am also ready to recommend you to Director Ouyang of Shonan Economic Television, and let you be the host of a super-large variety show, after all, teasing children all day long is not something you like to do......"

At this time, Shonan Economic Television has not yet started filming "Huanzhu Gege", Shonan Economic Television is just a very inconspicuous existence of local TV stations, He Ling can't see the potential of Shonan Economic Television for the time being, so he said: "I will host this New Year's Eve concert next, but even if the program of Shonan Economic Television is over, I don't want to leave CCTV for the time being." ”

Lu Chong is not reluctant to He Ling, maybe He Ling will polish on CCTV for another two years, and then go to Xiangnan Economic Television to host "Happy Camp" with Li Xiang. (To be continued.) )
