Chapter 106: The Prophecy of the Third Spring Festival Gala

Early in the morning, Fan Wuxi and Fan Ting's sister and brother came to CCTV together and found Lao Chen.

"Good leader!" Fan Wuxian pushed open the door of the office and said to Lao Chen with a smile.

Lao Chen was busy in the dark, at the end of the year, there were so many things, he was stuck in the middle of a large pile of reports, and was engaged in liquidation, when he suddenly heard Fan Wuxi's voice, he scratched his hair a little messy, looked up and asked, "Mr. Fan!" How did you get here? ”

"Didn't you ask me to find the crew of the Spring Festival Gala? What if I don't come here? Fan Wuxian rolled his eyes.

"Oh, hehe-" Lao Chen thought about it at this time, and saw that Fan Ting was also there, and said a little embarrassedly, "Hey! Look at this, it's all because I didn't make it clear. This year's Spring Festival Gala has changed places, and Director Huang and they are now all going to the workers' body. Why don't I contact the car first and ask them to drop you off?" ”

Workers' body? I'm not impressed! Although Fan Wuxian has also been in Yanjing for more than half a year, he has never cared about other things except making money, and of course he doesn't know where the workers' body is.

But when it comes to moving the Spring Festival Gala scene to the workers' body, which brain-dead idea is this?

Because Fan Wuxi and Fan Ting didn't know the specific location, they waited for Lao Chen to arrange a car, pulled the two of them on, and went straight to the workers' body.

"Why didn't you do it in the studio this year?" Fan Wuxian saw that the driver was also a young man in his twenties, so he asked.

"Who knows, as soon as the leader gets nervous, we will have to break our legs, it is said that we can sell a lot of tickets, who knows? No one can say anything about the leaderβ€”" the driver said depressedly.

Oh, is it because you want to make some money? This year, the business of the Walkman is not very good, and the profit has shrunk significantly, and the best profit period has already passed, and the humidifier is sold at a small profit in China, and the profit is not large, so Fan Wuxian is too lazy to advertise again. As for Jianlibao, he did a few advertisements, which can be regarded as continuing to maintain cooperation with CCTV, but this is already an industry in which Fan Wuxian is in charge personally, and Fan Wuxian has not been too public for the time being, so he did not think about continuing to sponsor the Spring Festival Gala.

has been advertising on the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years, and the goal seems to be too big, so Fan Wuxi decided to rest and recuperate this year, and then decide next year, it's a bit too early to talk about it.

After a while, the car drove to the outside of the workers' body, and the driver may have been running here a lot recently, so he was familiar with the road, and directly put Fan Wuxian and Fan Ting on the side where the director was stationed.

"Teacher Xiao Fan, you're so good!" The director was watching the venue over there, and when he saw Fan Wuxian coming, he couldn't help but be very happy and greeted him with a smile.

"Who is this man? Why did you look at your young age, Director Huang went to greet him in person? There were also a few actors nearby who were watching the venue, and I couldn't help but feel very curious when I saw Director Huang attaching so much importance to the visitors.

In addition, someone found that Fan Wuxian was a little familiar, "I remember, it's the sister and brother who have been sponsoring the Spring Festival Gala for the past two years, I remember it clearly, do you think it's them?" ”

"Yes, but they are probably representatives of that manufacturer, right? It doesn't look very old, but this year it's time to sponsor the Spring Festival Gala again? Someone asked.

"Who knows, maybe!" The crowd whispered.

Director Huang has always attached great importance to Fan Wuxi, especially at the beginning he put forward a lot of clear opinions and rectification methods to the Spring Festival Gala crew, although there are only a few, but it does have an effect, and the Spring Festival Gala program has become the most important link that everyone looks forward to every Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Hehe, Director Huang, it's been another year, hello!" Fan Wuxian smiled and shook Director Huang's hand.

Director Huang held Fan Wuxi's hand tightly, and said with some emotion, "I haven't seen you for a year, and I've grown a lot, but my old man's back is hunched a lot!" ”

"Lao Ji is in the bush, and his ambitions are thousands of miles. Director Huang is in the prime of life, and when he produces results, saying this kind of thing will disappoint the audience across the country. Fan replied with a smile.

"Don't mention these, let's take a look at the scene of this Spring Festival Gala." Director Huang led Fan Wuxian and Fan Ting in.

The Workers' Gymnasium was built in 1961 and has been an important place for large-scale activities in Yanjing since then, with a construction area of about 40,000 square meters, one basement and four floors above ground, the overall form is circular, and the roof is a spoked suspension structure, with a span of 94 meters, which can be called a classic example of the structure. Despite the length of time it took to build, many of the design concepts and structures have the meaning of symbols.

"Why did you choose to be here this year?" Fan Wuxi felt a little strange, how convenient it is to have a good studio, although the place is big enough, but it is also too big, it is estimated that there can be more than 10,000 seats inside, and there are few people watching the football game, but watching the party, it seems that the place is too spacious, and it is difficult for him to imagine what the people behind him can see.

A staff member next to Director Huang explained, "This year, everyone watched the National Day military parade and the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, USA, we felt that the country of more than one billion people was too shabby to hold the Spring Festival Gala in the studio, so we wanted to show a grand scene, so we chose the Workers' Gymnasium." ”

"Oh." Fan Wuxian didn't say anything, just looked at the equipment at the scene.

The equipment on the scene is very simple, because the conditions can't keep up, the crew doesn't even have a walkie-talkie, the command relies on wired headsets, the signal is intermittent, the effect is very poor, and there are big problems in unified scheduling. The technical conditions are very backward, for example, it is difficult to change the color of the auditorium. The color pieces are all on the lamp, dozens of meters above the ground, and you can't turn your head if you want to, which is very primitive.

There is also a big problem, that is, the scene is too cold, such a large venue, heating is very problematic, especially Fan Wuxi glanced at everyone at the scene, basically wrapped in green military coats, shrunk like monkeys one by one.

"How's this place?" Director Huang asked.

"Big is big enough, but there's nothing to be desired other than big." Fan Wuxian replied very directly.

"Oh? How? Director Huang was very surprised.

Originally, he came to Fan Wuxian in the hope of borrowing his advanced concept of on-site overall arrangement, looking for problems in the show, and criticizing some flaws in the live broadcast process.

But this time, it is a bit too much to completely deny the broadcast scene?

Seeing the confusion on the faces of Huang Dao and others, Fan Wuxian began to illiteracy for everyone, "The Spring Festival Gala is different from ordinary large-scale activities, what is important is not pomp, not momentum, not crowds, not crowds, but to create a warm feeling of home, which is in line with our Chinese tradition." Therefore, the space for the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala should not be too large, even if it is a studio. The Spring Festival Gala is an occasion with strong family affection, I can see you, you can see me, you can see it when I raise my eyebrows, it doesn't feel difficult. And the connection of the host, one on the stage and one off the stage, two steps to you, the feeling will be very warm, well, humane. ”

Director Huang and the others nodded again and again after hearing this, originally they came to the Gongti to get familiar with the environment in the past few days, and they always had a feeling of not being comfortable.

Fan Wuxian continued, "The Spring Festival Gala is different from the military parade and the Olympic Games, it can be said that it is completely different!" The military parade and the Olympic Games are large-scale events, showing the national prestige and the embodiment of the country's strength, so it is necessary to talk about pomp and pay attention to momentum! Therefore, the venue of the military parade and the Olympic Games is as big as possible, the more people participating in the parade, the better, and the more miscellaneous the guests who watch the ceremony, the better, with strong deterrent effect and obvious effect! But the Spring Festival Gala is like a family banquet, a small-scale gathering of friends, paying attention to warmth, harmony and beauty, it is more than a year to gather in one place to be lively and lively, happy and happy, there are many people, the venue is big, but it will change its taste. ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, but Director Huang frowned again and said, "That's the truth, but the choice of this place is not up to us, it's arranged above, what can I do?" ”

Fan Wuxi shrugged his shoulders with a disapproving expression.

In fact, there is such a status quo in China, many things are led by laymen, and if you don't understand, you have to point fingers, as if you can really say 10,000 sentences to others. Fan Wuxi is the most disgusted by this, saying that back to a few decades ago, didn't everyone run around the street in open crotch pants? Now that he is in a good position, he is as lame as 2580,000, as if he is really the reincarnation of Wenquxing?!

"And there is a problem, the on-site contact is inconvenient, and the distance from the backstage to the front desk is too long, which is also easy to cause a problem, that is, there will be problems with the connection between the programs, and some of the mysteries that should cause a sensation will be weakened, and the stage is too large, and the effect of a large performance program will be discounted, for example, Chen Peisi's sketch, which is originally very good, but from such a distance, in addition to being able to see Chen Peisi's bald head, what else can you see?" Fan Wuxian pointed out another big problem.

At this moment, everyone's mood is not too high, and they feel that changing the location of the Spring Festival Gala to Gongti is really a super failed decision.

In the end, Fan Wuxian came to a conclusion unceremoniously, "All in all, if the Spring Festival Gala is held in the Workers' Stadium, it will definitely make a mess, and the people of the whole country will be dissatisfied, so you just wait to apologize on the news broadcast!" ”

As soon as he heard Fan Wuxi's words, Director Huang's face immediately became like a bitter gourd.

I don't know how the CCTV people discussed, but in the end it was decided to set the scene of the Spring Festival Gala in the Gongti.

Director Huang's spirit was a little depressed, Fan Wuxi's words made him fully realize that this year's Spring Festival Gala was destined to be a complete success, but the instructions pressed down from above made him have to concentrate all his energy to prepare, which was really contradictory.

Fan Ting's singing is decided, after all, the genetics of the old Fan family are still very good, otherwise there would be no such a freak as Fan Wuxi, Fan Ting's voice is more suitable for singing this kind of campus song.

After listening to Fan Ting's audition, the directors all thought it was good, and they also thought that as the composer of the song "Childhood", Fan Ting was a more suitable choice for singing this song, and the audience would buy it.

As for the new song that Fan Wuxian said, it was naturally plagiarized, but after listening to Fan Wuxie's conception and audition, the directors applauded one after another, and unanimously decided to add this song to the party and arrange it as a key track in prime time.

"Well, but the thought of the venue gives me a bit of a headache. If it can't be done this year, this black pot will definitely have to be carried by me! Director Huang was a little discouraged, knowing that he couldn't do it, but he had to go into battle shirtless.

Hey, Fan Wuxi sighed, thinking that it was indeed a little unreasonable to see Lao Huang being a scapegoat like this, and it seemed that he had to help him with the knife, so he asked, "Director Huang, if you gather some singers who sing pop songs now and rehearse a song quickly, do you think it's still too late in time?" ”

Director Huang was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized that Fan Wuxian was preparing to give him a move, so he was overjoyed and said, "There must be time in time, there are still a lot of singers here in Yanjing, and one hundred and eighty of them can be gathered, so this song has to pass the review above." ”

Director Huang is very sure of what he said, there are many singers in Beipiao, most of them are in the mix, and they can't be happy to show their faces on the Spring Festival Gala, the biggest show in the country! When the time comes, there will only be more suspects, not fewer suspicions. But there are some problems with the arrangement of the songs, most of the programs have been arranged now, and if you want to change them, you must approve them from above, otherwise, the director will not be in charge.

Fan Wuxian waved his hand and said, "There is no problem with the song, I won't do anything too out of line." I'll get the words out later, let my sister help compose a tune, and then try the effect, you can use it if you see it is suitable, and if it is not suitable, I will not say anything. ”

"The sooner the better!" Director Huang laughed so hard that his mouth was grinning under his ears.

After asking the staff for a pen and paper, Fan Wuxian began to recall the familiar melody, spent a few minutes writing the lyrics, and then hid with his sister Fan Ting, humming while asking Fan Ting to write down the tune, that is, more than half an hour, and finally got the lyrics and songs done.

"Looks good." Director Huang looked at the lyrics and commented.

"It would sound even better." Fan replied angrily.

Director Huang smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, I owe you a great favor this time, why don't you arrange a few text advertisements for you on the spot?" I'll talk to the leader about this, and I don't think it's a big problem. ”

Fan Wuxian nodded and said, "Okay!" I will sponsor another hundreds of thousands, so that the leaders will say that you have not done your best! ”

This is an unexpected joy, originally everyone thought that Fan Wuxian was not going to pay money this year, because he refuted it here for nothing, but he didn't expect to throw out hundreds of thousands of sponsorships when he spoke, I really didn't expect it.

After returning to her home temporarily housed in the PCFs club, Zhang Mei immediately told Fan Wuxian that Qiu Baohua had called him again.
