Chapter 66: A New Journey
In recent years, China's economic development has been too fast, giving birth to a large number of people suffering from "Spring Festival syndrome". The more the year passes, the more uncomfortable these people feel, and the reason boils down to nothing more than one sentence: it's not good to mix, and there is no face to see people. There is a taste of "noble and troublesome" in the "Tao Te Ching", too much care about the eyes of others, and personal cultivation is very low.
Ordinary people have this mentality, and public figures are naturally more restless. Among them, especially the Spring Festival Gala crew. And the most of the most are naturally a few directors who are responsible for the whole party.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer, there are only 15 days left, and Liu Yuansong, who is the general manager of the singing and dancing program, has already appeared extremely obvious eye bags. Although in fact the pressure is much less than that of a director in charge of language programs, no matter what, the burden is still heavy.
Especially after Liu Yuansong watched today's penultimate rehearsal, the pressure in his heart became heavier and heavier.
After the rehearsal, the chief director, himself, and the assistant director in charge of the language program, the three of them had a small meeting.
In just twenty minutes of conversation, the three of them sighed at least thirty times, and they knew very well how bad the situation was. But there is no way to solve it.
Uncle Zhao, who was originally a reserved program, was exposed by reporters who mixed into the scene this year because his works were exposed, and just issued a statement this morning, saying that there is not enough time left, so he can only choose to quit the stage with regret.
As soon as Uncle Zhao left, the Spring Festival Gala was equivalent to having no pillars, and Guo Degang, a non-famous cross talk actor on the top, was temporarily invited to say it well, the basic skills were absolutely solid, and the performance level was absolutely high, but after watching it once, it just didn't feel funny. Especially for audiences in the south, it is far less intuitive than Uncle Zhao's sketches.
As for the singing and dancing programs that Liu Yuansong was responsible for, it made the chief director shake his head again and again.
Although there are also many celebrities, and there are also famous talent contestants who young people like, after all, they are all old faces, and their singing skills are not necessarily that good.
Speaking of which, this year's problems are the same as usual: no highlights, no surprises.
Liu Yuansong came out of the chief director's office, smiled and nodded with the stars all over the building along the way, and then returned to his office depressed.
Sitting on the soft boss chair, Liu Yuansong closed his eyes and sighed deeply again, thinking in his heart that this year's scolding would inevitably be overwhelming again.
When I opened my eyes, I looked at the calendar on the table, the 15th day of the 12th lunar month......
It's only been half a month, can there be any more myths?
Where did the young man named Wang Kefan go, and why couldn't he find it...... Jiang Youwei, Jiang Youwei, you can't even find a person who is so famous on the Internet, you might as well change your name to Jiang Wuneng......
Liu Yuansong thought in his heart, and he had the idea of making a phone call to scold Director Jiang to relieve the pressure in his heart.
At this moment, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and the assistant Zhang Ruo ran in with a happy face and said loudly: "Director Liu!" Man found! Wang Kefan has found it! ”
"Found it?" Liu Yuansong suddenly swept away the decline just now and sat up straight suddenly.
"Hmm!" Zhang Ruo nodded heavily and said, "Since January, I have sent notices to all universities in Jibei Province, and as long as there is news of Wang Kefan, I will tell us immediately. Just now, a vice president of Baoding University called and said that Wang Kefan was now at their school, and the school had arranged for him to stay in the Baoding Business Hotel. I asked the school to tell Wang Kefan and ask him to come to us immediately. ”
"No!" Liu Yuansong slapped the table and said loudly, "I'm going to pick him up in person!" ”
"Director Liu, isn't it too exaggerated? This Wang Kefan, no matter how well he sings, is just an Internet celebrity...... If you pick it up in person, the other actors and actresses who participated in the party may be uncomfortable. Zhang Ruo said cautiously.
"Alas......" Liu Yuansong shook his head and said helplessly, "Why don't you understand?" The review period for our works has long passed, and there is only one last chance left for the rehearsal, and now the order of the party has been decided, and no one is happy to replace anyone, right? ”
Zhang Ruo nodded, and suddenly realized: "Oh...... Director Liu! Are you going to show it to others? ”
"That's right!" Liu Yuansong grabbed his clothes and said, "Don't take the car, just apply for the helicopter in the station!" ”
Zhang Ruo's mouth was surprised to become an O-shape.
But he didn't know that Liu Yuansong had another sentence that he hid in his stomach and didn't say. That is, if Wang Kefan can't do it, he will save Wang Kefan from acting badly in front of the chief director at that time, and let him even have the trouble of losing face.
A few minutes later, a helicopter slowly rose from the apron on the roof of the CCTV building, nicknamed "Big Pants", and flew straight to Baoding.
About 40 minutes later, Liu Yuansong and Zhang Ruo hurriedly got off the plane, and there were already people waiting by the tarmac.
Getting in the car, a few people went straight to Baoding Business Hotel.
After a more than ten minute drive, Liu Yuansong, who had never been as immobile as a mountain, actually felt a little impatient.
How long have you been waiting for this Wang Kefan?
Liu Yuansong had an indescribable feeling in his heart, it was not just a sense of expectation, but also mixed with a little anxiety.
What if this Wang Kefan is not as good as it appears in that video?
Liu Yuansong frowned and thought, and suddenly heard the driver say, "Director Liu, it's here!" ”
Liu Yuansong came back to his senses, and walked into the hotel quickly under the hug of Zhang Ruo and the other three leaders of Baoding University.
The vice principal led the way and led Liu Yuansong straight to the door of the room where Wang Kefan lived.
I knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside.
Liu Yuansong sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that this Wang Kefan had an aura of running away, so Jiang Youwei couldn't catch him for only 7 months.
He was frowning, but he heard a voice behind him.
"Are you looking for me?"
Liu Yuansong turned his head, but what caught his eyes was a face that could be called a classic trick, which could hardly correspond to the handsome face in the video.
"You...... Are you Wang Kefan? Liu Yuansong asked suspiciously.
Wang Kefan nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, it's me." ”
"You're the 'God of Music'?" Zhang Ruo said a little frantically, "Why does it look different from the video?" ”
Wang Kefan smiled and said, "Don't talk about you, I can't figure it out." By the way, what are you looking for me? ”
Liu Yuansong thought about it, hesitated a little whether he should say that sentence, and didn't open his mouth for a long time.
However, Zhang Ruo reacted quickly and hurriedly said: "Wang Kefan, that's the case, we want to invite you to go to CCTV to record a program, and I came here from the capital today to see your performance level." ”
Wang Kefan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, please come in first." ”
Wang Kefan opened the door, Liu Yuansong followed, Zhang Ruo casually took the door around, and the three leaders who came with him stayed outside the house.
Five minutes later......
Liu Yuansong walked out of the door with excitement on his face, and opened his mouth to say: "Xiao Zhang, let's go back immediately, before getting off work tonight, I want the chief director to meet this young man!" ”
A school leader couldn't help but ask: "Director Liu, this young man, should he go to the Spring Festival Gala?" ”
Zhang Ruo didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, but Liu Yuansong was full of confidence: "This young man is the pillar of this year's Spring Festival Gala!" ”
Several school leaders looked at each other, and when Liu Yuansong walked away, they discussed in a whisper.
"Why did the Spring Festival Gala degenerate like this, but it's just an Internet celebrity?"
"Alas...... These so-called artists have different aesthetics from ours......"
"I look at this year's Spring Festival Gala, and I'm going to be scolded again!"
