Chapter 80: All eyes on you
The Chinese New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers, full of joy, the air in the streets and alleys of the capital, there is a strong smell of the year.
Wang Kefan and six blockbuster superstars who have been famous in the country for more than ten years, all came to the crew early at four o'clock in the afternoon to report.
The lounge originally prepared for Uncle Zhao alone has become the foothold of Wang Kefan, the newcomer to the Spring Festival Gala, fortunately, superstars such as Wang Lihong and Sun Nan also stay in this room, and there is nothing to say about the arrangement of the Spring Festival Gala crew, and there is nothing to say about the literary and artistic circles in the other rooms on the side. In terms of appearance fee and value alone, excluding Wang Kefan, an existence that can be ignored for the time being, the other six stars in this room add up, and the top one Uncle Zhao is only a lot more.
After 5 p.m., all the staff in Studio 1 entered the first-class working state. From this moment until 12:30 tonight, they have to keep all the machinery running perfectly.
As the chief director, Haven personally directed the choreography, lighting, and props. Hundreds of staff members are busy and orderly walking around the studio, and they have done it more than 100 times for tonight's four hours, all the processes.
At 6 p.m., more than a dozen logistics workers pushed carts full of boxed lunches into the lounge aisle. One by one, the doors of the lounge were knocked open, and the staff with two layers of gloves on their hands carefully handed the lunch box inside.
Eating dinner too late or too early, as well as being too saturated or too little, can affect their performance status, and even worse if they eat out to spoil their stomach. The details of CCTV have been imagined to the extreme.
Of course, there are a few celebrities who are super big names and will book dinner with a nearby big hotel in advance.
In previous years, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars such as Wang Lihong, Lin Junjie, and Rong Zuer did just that.
However, this year, because even Sun Nan, the big brother in the mainland, doesn't care about the treatment of the lunch box, they are embarrassed to play big names again. It's just a meal anyway, so it's not a big deal.
According to the schedule of the program, Wang Kefan and their program will appear as the finale of the party.
The show lasts 25 minutes and 15 seconds, and the appearance time is 11:30 p.m., which means that after they finish the performance, it is almost time to chime.
For more than ten consecutive years, this time was Uncle Zhao's sketch time, theoretically speaking, this is the golden time period of the Spring Festival Gala. But because the firecrackers were going to be set off at 12 o'clock, many viewers who couldn't hear what Uncle Zhao was saying clearly because of the sound of firecrackers would also complain that this time period was not good.
Because of the performance time, Wang Kefan's house was given twice the amount of dinner.
Several artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan naturally couldn't eat so much, Wang Kefan volunteered, and ate twice as many as two people in one meal, with such a good appetite, Sun Nanzhi laughed and said: "Don't invite this guy to dinner in the future, the custodian will make me cry." ”
At 7 o'clock in the evening, dozens of makeup artists, costume artists, and stylists of the Spring Festival Gala began to enter the room at the front of the performance time, and several hosts began to quickly read their lines from beginning to end for the last time.
Thousands of miles away in Yuzhou, this is not quieter than the CCTV building at all.
The news that the famous Golden Autumn Song God is going to appear on the Spring Festival Gala has long made a large number of local Wang Kefan fans in Yuzhou City look forward to it.
In order to shoot Liang Boxiong's "quasi-son-in-law" on the back, the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee began to conduct uninterrupted interviews with Wang Kefan's family, relatives, and classmates in turn since the morning.
In this way, it is impossible for the entire Yuzhou City not to pay attention to the Spring Festival Gala.
At the doors of the major Internet cafes, all of them played the slogan of "watching the Spring Festival Gala live online", and there were also bars, KTVs and other entertainment venues, and they also showed the banner of "cheering for the singer of Yuzhou City".
A group of young people who are so fashion-conscious that they can't even watch TV appear in nightclubs waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to begin, which is full of posture to watch the World Cup. How weird it is, how weird it is.
At eight o'clock in the evening, when Li Yong, Zhu Jun, Bening, Bi Fujian, Dong Qing, and Li Shuangshuang walked onto the stage, Wang Kefan's crowded home immediately sounded screams.
Tian Erniu shouted excitedly: "It's started!" Here we go! My son is going to go! ”
Zhang Baojun, who was also excited on the side, but his mind was still clear, hurriedly said: "Auntie, not yet!" Afan's program was half past eleven, and I went to the Internet to check the time. ”
"Ah...... Why is it so late? ”
"It's not too late, it's not too late." Today, I was interviewed by reporters for the first time in my life, and the second aunt, who is still dizzy, is very happy, "It's just three and a half hours, and it's gone in the blink of an eye, we usually play mahjong, and it's only a few rounds in three and a half hours?" ”
On TV, the six hosts played the melody of the opening song and dance after paying homage to the early years.
Tian Erniu listened to the singing voices of several hosts, and commented: "It's not as good as my family's Afan, it's too far behind." ”
The reporters of several newspapers and TV stations standing on the side were silent with smiles, and the head of the county propaganda department sitting next to Wang Kefan's parents nodded very approvingly and said: "Yes, I also think it is not as good as Wang Kefan." ”
The driver next to him rolled his eyes and said in his heart, Have you ever heard Wang Kefan sing? It's really to shoot the sycophants of the secretary of the municipal party committee, and I don't even want my face......
After the host finished singing the opening chorus, followed by a dance performance, although Tian Erniu said that she was not interested, she still kept the TV and did not leave.
Other families couldn't wait so long, but they didn't turn off the TV, for fear of missing Wang Kefan's show, which was so lively.
And from the south to the north of the country, the cities that Wang Kefan passed by, although they were not as exaggerated as Yuzhou City, they were probably doing similar things.
The closer you get to the 11:30 point, the more people tune in to CCTV for their TV channels.
In the excited eyes of CCTV leaders, it was only half past 9 in the evening, and the ratings of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala broke through the new high in the past three years, and the momentum of continuing to climb is getting more and more fierce.
At half past nine in the evening, Guo Degang and his apprentice Yue Yunpeng came to the stage.
Costume artists, stylists, and makeup artists also walked into Wang Kefan's room.
Wang Kefan watched Guo Degang play hooligan with his mouth on the stage where the scale was becoming more and more relaxed, and let the makeup artist touch his face.
The show passed one after the other.
At around 11 o'clock, those people in Yuzhou City who were playing mahjong with the TV on gradually lost their minds. The teenagers who played games in the Internet café also began to call friends, shouting "It's almost time to go to the program of the God of Song", not at all like in the previous New Year, as soon as they said that they felt so shameless when they watched the Spring Festival Gala.
Under the extremely accurate calculation of the on-site director, at 11:26, Li Yong and Zhu Jun, who were in charge of stringing the lines of this film, walked on the stage.
In front of the TV, Wang Kefan's family screamed.
"It's here! It's here! Avan is coming! ”
The leader sitting on the side immediately sat upright, looking focused and expectant, as if he was watching the last penalty in the World Cup final.
At the same time-
In the big villa in Zhonghai City, Guo Yujing pulled her grandparents and sat in front of the TV.
In the capital, at Yang Shu's house, Yang Shu, Li Hong, Wang Jie, Zhao Yiming, Liu Huipu, a group of buddies, and their wives and children all gathered in front of the screen.
Liang Jing in the hotel room gently held the remote control and held it in the palm of his hand.
In Yongzhou City, where Wang Kefan once settled for a short time, Zhao Junyi and countless children like Zhao Junyi who dreamed of being a singer opened the webpage of the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, and very few of them kept scolding and refreshing......
The director of CCTV held the report that had set a record for CCTV ratings over the years, looked up at the picture that was being broadcast live, shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Everyone, attention, ......";
