Chapter 441: Brutal Elimination
"Mr. Zhao still seems to have emotions about the book "Torchbearer", why don't you ask someone to change it?" Lao Lei squeezed Hou Feidao beside him. [Full text reading]: 3w.し
"What to change, I think this sketch is good enough, but he is too picky." Hou Fei said disapprerovingly, Zhao Benshan has been the sketch king of the Spring Festival Gala for many years, no matter what he plays, everyone likes it, why bother?
The female King Kong Zhao Chunfang said coldly next to her: "What's good, he has been performing with Song Dandan's white cloud and black soil routine for three years, and the audience has long been tired of watching it." ”
"Then you 'Magic Acrobatics' group will come up with a book for us to learn." Hou Fei took a puff of cigarette and sneered softly, leaving Zhao Chunfang speechless.
Gu Xiaofan was confused now, what is the situation, how can the language group still make the sketch script of "Magic Acrobatic Creation"?
Lao Lei looked at Gu Xiaofan with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Although our three groups have their own strengths, they are actually not limited to the type of program they can arrange, as long as there are good works, they can compete with each other, just like the magic program of the 'Magic Acrobatic Creation' group did not produce a good one, but Mr. Hou's language group let the host Li Yong come up with an interactive magic trick "Do as You Want", which robbed Mr. Xiao Zhao's job."
"What robbed? It's not final!? The female King Kong Zhao Chunfang retorted with a lot of anger, the only magic show was robbed by the people in the language group, which made her very unwilling.
Gu Xiaofan listened to the music, and asked with a smile: "Teacher Lei, do you mean that if I join the 'Magic Acrobatic Creation', I can not only perform magic shows, but also produce sketch shows?" ”
Before Lao Lei could speak, Hou Fei laughed and said, "Yes, but the premise is that the quality of your sketches must be better than mine." ”
The language group is a program that needs to be creatively written and arranged behind the scenes, while the song and dance group and the 'magic acrobatic show' group mainly depend on whether they can invite any big-name performers, and there is not much technical content.
Therefore, the director of the language group has always had the most say after the chief director, and the language group can often produce other programs to grab the other two groups, but I have never heard of 'Magic Acrobatics' being able to grab the programs of the language group.
Gu Xiaofan smiled, now it's okay, his problem is solved, it turns out that one group can grab another group's program, so it doesn't matter which group he goes to.
In the afternoon, the crew of the Spring Festival Gala held another internal rehearsal, which was also the 12th internal program review.
All the programs are rehearsed according to the evening party mode, the audience is all employees of CCTV, and the final result is decided by several senior executives of CCTV and the chief director Chen Jianfei.
Gu Xiaofan, together with the director team, watched the whole performance in the front row.
Hou Fei and Lao Lei both watched the whole process with calm faces, but Zhao Chunfang kept clenching her fists tightly, as long as it was her turn to perform by her teammates, she was sweating nervously.
A group of performers did their best, and there was laughter and applause, but there were also programs with flat responses and mistakes.
At the end of the rehearsal, the leaders of CCTV eliminated another batch of programs according to the reaction of the audience.
Wang Baoqiang's sketch "Special Interview", magician Qin Mingxiao, Yao Jinfang's magic "Magic Hand", Cai Guoqing's Huangmei Opera "Husband and Wife Watching the Lantern", Xiao Shenyang, Mao Mao's "I want to be a star", were all announced to be officially eliminated and entered the list of alternative programs for the Lantern Festival Gala.
and the acrobatics "Blowing the Fire" and "Hundred Stacks of Arhats" were directly eliminated.
The closer to the start date of the Spring Festival Gala, the more such programs will be eliminated.
Every day, the thousands of people in the Spring Festival Gala crew, the first thing after the rehearsal is to look at the program notice on the bulletin board hanging on the wall on the first floor to see who has entered the temporary selection, who is the alternative, and who has been completely brushed down.
The program groups selected by various crews across the country are facing a ratio of 7 choices.
No matter who you are, as soon as a better show of the same type emerges, it will be replaced immediately.
After the rehearsal, Gu Xiaofan saw many people in the program team sitting at the top of the stairs crying with painful faces, some of them lowered their heads, silent and in a daze.
The show has been brushed down, and those singers and actors can come back next year with a different show, but these behind-the-scenes personnel who have worked hard for half a year may not have the opportunity to leave their names at the important moment of the Spring Festival Gala.
This is brushed down, which means that their efforts in the past half a year have been in vain, and once those programs that have been painstakingly arranged are eliminated and do not enter the candidate list for the Lantern Festival Gala, there will be no chance to see the light of day again.
Because CCTV's regulations must not appear in the Spring Festival Gala of local satellite TV.
Gu Xiaofan felt some sympathy for these unsuccessful people, and couldn't help but buy milk tea at the independent vending machine in the building, gave each of them a bottle, and comforted them a few words, and he also felt the bitterness and cruelty behind the Spring Festival Gala for the first time.
The next day, CCTV Building.
"Morning teachers~"
"Xiao Gu is here?"
"Director Xiao Gu, good morning."
Hou Fei and Lao Lei all said hello to Gu Xiaofan, only the female King Kong Zhao Chunfang held the phone and begged bitterly:
"Director Tang, can you give Qin Mingxiao and Yao Jinfang another chance, they are the best magicians in our China, I know that they made mistakes in rehearsal, it was their fault, but the props team was not ready......"
Seeing that this female King Kong's eyes were red, and she pleaded with the person on the phone, Gu Xiaofan couldn't help asking:
"What's going on?"
Lao Lei touched his beard and spit out disdainfully: "Yesterday's program rehearsal, there was a goofs in the magic performance of Mr. Xiao Zhao's group, and the leaders of several stations held a meeting in the evening to summarize, saying that if you make such a mistake, you won't want magic at the Lantern Festival party." ”
Saying that, Lao Lei also sighed and said: "There are restrictions on the stage of the party, and it is a live TV, no matter how good the magician is, it is inevitable that he will be nervous. ”
It turned out that this time Zhao Chunfang's 'Magic Acrobatic Creation' group did not have no magic shows, but successively proposed three programs.
But during the rehearsal, these three programs were either not effective because the Spring Festival Gala was too bright and the light was set, or the camera angle was not well arranged, or there was a goof.
You must know that the magic of the live broadcast party is extremely difficult for any magician, the venue lighting is not familiar, and many factors are not under their control, plus a nervous rehearsal, no matter how good the magician's technique is, there will be times when it is abnormal.
As a result, after so many rehearsals, the three serious magic tricks were brushed down, but the language group found another way, directly using the computer on the big screen to change cards, replacing the magic of changing cards by hand, and even the magician was not used, so that the host Li Yong went directly, and the effect was good, which robbed the magic program of Zhao Chunfang's group
