Chapter 131
"CCTV again?" The previous cooperation in the Spring Festival Gala made Shen Lian feel a lot of unhappiness.
"No matter what kind of love you have, you have to know that no artist has the capital to offend CCTV." Zhang Ting sighed and persuaded Shen Lian not to be rash.
"What project, you name it." Shen Lian calmed down and replied. "2007 China-Korea Song Meeting." Zhang Ting said.
"Isn't that what happened in December? Prepared so early? Shen Lian wondered.
"In addition to the singer, CCTV is also ready to hire you as the host of this China-South Korea song meeting. Invite us to CCTV for an interview. Zhang Ting said shocking news.
"Host??" Shen Lian said in surprise.
"Probably someone recommended you. Because you know Korean. Zhang Ting explained.
"But I have never hosted before, and second, my Korean level is the level of Korean elementary school. Isn't CCTV afraid of being embarrassed? Shen Lian said helplessly.
"Since CCTV has contacted us, we will definitely conduct some training for you, and it just so happens that we don't have much to do with our next work plan. I think it's a good outreach workout for you. And you also have plans to take a vacation, which I think is an opportunity relatively speaking. Zhang Ting said.
"If you say so, then a trip to Beijing will definitely be inevitable." Shen Lian thought about it carefully, although this did not help his performance in the short term, but from a long-term perspective, it was imperative for the Korean Wave to invade the country, and it would definitely not be able to stop this little butterfly by himself. If you have a fluent Korean language early on, it can be much easier to cooperate with Korean artists in martial arts. In the future, the popularity of domestic variety shows far exceeds people's expectations, if you can have a good performance on a big stage like the Sino-Korean Song Club, then it is not impossible to find another way out once the development of the acting career is not smooth in the future. The development of these two capabilities is really useful in the long run.
"Then there is one more thing for us to go to Beijing. At the Beijing Dance Competition held in June. The company inadvertently discovered a new person and planned to hand it over to me to train and make his debut. Zhang Ting said the third topic easily.
"Girls?" Shen Lian asked.
"That's right, her name is Song Qian." Zhang Ting glanced at Shen Lian's face.
"Song Qian. Then you sign it, why do you ask me? Shen Lian probably guessed who it was, and he also knew about this girl in his previous life.
The girl was skeptical about her debut. So ......," Zhang Ting said unhurriedly.
"So take me to fool her." Shen Lian rolled his eyes.
"It's not foolish, I'm going to let you meet her in person." Zhang Ting said.
"Huh?" Shen Lian said in surprise.
"Didn't you say that you were optimistic about Li Yifeng? I'll let you see Song Qian too. If you don't like her, I don't want her. Zhang Ting said directly.
“…… You. It's okay? It's okay, I'll go first. Tomorrow I will go to Beijing to talk about things. Shen Lian got up and prepared to leave.
After returning home, Shen Lian consulted the information of the Sino-Korean Song Society, which is a large-scale transnational pop music event jointly launched by CCTV and KBS since 1999. It is held annually in China and South Korea with the aim of enhancing friendship and deepening cultural exchanges and cooperation through guò music. It has been held for eight sessions so far. It brings together the strong production teams and casts of the two countries, and uses professional production methods to reflect the highest level of pop music and the highest level of singer development in China and South Korea with high quality. The on-site hosts of the first three China-Korea Song Concerts were Yaning and South Korean hostess Huang Xiujing. After that, the host selection changed, and the host lineup of the 8th China-Korea Song Festival was led by CCTV male number one Zhu Jun. In the selection of the host of the 9th China-South Korea Song Festival, CCTV boldly seeks changes and strives to make innovations, hoping that more and more frequent exchanges between Chinese and Korean hosts can be carried out to enliven the atmosphere of the scene instead of reading from the script. Shen Lian, who had shown good Korean language skills in Korean promotional films, was recruited by them. Of course, CCTV does not agree with this decision, so Shen Lian's trip to Beijing this time can be described as an assessment.
"This is not an ordinary experience, and if you fail, you will be embarrassed and thrown abroad." Shen Lian muttered quietly. After the recording is completed, South Korea's KBS TV will arrange the broadcast in prime time. The Chinese side will also arrange for CCTV to be broadcast to audiences across the country and overseas Chinese in the one, three, and four programs of CCTV.
It can be said unceremoniously that according to the usual situation, Shen Lian is not qualified to be the host of the Sino-Korean Song Club at all.
The host of each session is the host of the ace of the two major TV stations, even if Chinese artists do not attach much importance to this show.
The Chinese side has not yet been determined, but the South Korean side heard that Han Shijun and Huang Xiujing will be sent to preside. Many celebrities want to show their talents when they are promoted. He always claims to know a lot of languages.
But the truth is often far from the same, and it's good that they can have some daily conversations.
Shen Lian is different, his fluent English has been shown many times in interviews. In the early days of working with Hong Kong directors, when I couldn't speak Cantonese, I relied on English to communicate. At the very least, this can ensure that there will be no mistakes in the minimum communication with the Korean host, and it is really not possible to make up for it in English. When participating in the Korean promotion of "Baby Plan", Jackie Chan could only say a few simple greetings in Korean, and used English throughout the interview stage, while Shen Lian used Korean many times to enliven the atmosphere of the scene. In the previous Sino-Korean song meetings, the host was basically a decoration, because there was no effective communication, so naturally there was no amazing expression.
Now CCTV is working hard to ask Shen Lian to host this show.
He is popular, talented, and has language skills.
Putting aside the experience of hosting, he is simply a natural host of the Sino-Korean Song Society. After coming to Beijing, Liang Bo, the person in charge of CCTV's China-Korea Song Club, interviewed Shen Lian, and the results of the interview were also very satisfied. Mandarin 90 points, there will be no slurred words at all. With a score of 90 in English, Shen Lian, who was born in the international class of Nanwai High School, has a very standard oral pronunciation, and no one will believe it when he is a Chinese-American. The camera sense is 80 points, after all, the actor is born, which is still worth protecting. With 80 points of adaptability, the host must face various emergencies at any time, not panic, and take care of the guests' emotions while ensuring the fluency of the program. The Korean level is 60 points, there is no problem in listening and speaking, but the pronunciation is slightly jerky, and at the same time, I don't know anything about some very regional dialects.
"We are very satisfied with the results of this interview. Shen Lian, on behalf of CCTV, I formally invite you to be the Chinese host of our 8th "China-Korea Song Meeting". And your partner is Liang Lu, who has hosted two sessions of the Sino-Korean Song Concert. Liang Bo informed.
"Then for the next period of time......" Shen Lian wanted to know what he was going to prepare next.
"This is an exchange between the cultural circles of China and South Korea, and the leaders attach great importance to it. So we needless to say that we need to be completely prepared for this. You can continue your work. But we still hope that you can improve your Korean skills. After all, it's your only advantage over other candidates. We need to train you professionally as a facilitator. Of course, you can arrange some time to study at CCTV. "Liang Bo's conditions are very lenient, and they won't restrict Shen Lian's daily work too much.
