Chapter 40: The Concept of the Spring Festival Gala
"Brother Zhou, are you starting to record the show today?" After Luo Chao left, Li Bai asked suspiciously.
"No, it's just setting up the venue today and recording tomorrow morning. I was going to let you know later, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen and make you laugh. Zhou Jun was a little embarrassed, but he was more worried about Li Bai.
"Brother Zhou, it's okay, you can rest assured. You've seen the detailed planning of the show, don't you have confidence in our show? Li Bai smiled and comforted.
"That's right, our show must be fine." After Li Bai said this, Zhou Jun also relaxed a lot. Then he said: "Come, let me introduce you to these people in our program group." ”
After speaking, Zhou Jun took Li Bai to introduce the other seven people in the team one by one, including Wang Zheng, who was named by Li Bai before. When Li Bai saw Wang Zheng for the first time, he had a good impression of this girl, he didn't expect her to be so young and have a very good personality. He roughly estimated that the average age of their team is less than 30 years old, which can be regarded as the youngest team of CCTV. Then I also greeted everyone in the film crew warmly.
These people were very happy to see Li Bai, when they were first transferred to this program group, they heard that this was a program planned by Li Bai, and Li Bai served as the program producer, they were all very surprised, Li Bai can now be regarded as synonymous with ratings.
"Brother Zhou, these people you picked are very good. Our show is definitely getting better and better. Li Bai said sincerely.
"Your vision is also good, especially the little girl named Wang Zheng, although she has just graduated, her ability is indeed very strong. She also gave a lot of good suggestions on the details of the show. Zhou Jun sighed.
"Haha, Brother Zhou, you don't look at who I am." Li Bai was joking, these were all expected by him, after all, Wang Zheng was the producer of "Art Life" in the past.
Li Bai has been staying in the studio, discussing tomorrow's recording with Cui Kun and several choreographers, and directing the placement of the live set by the way. was busy until more than six o'clock in the afternoon, and made an appointment for tomorrow's recording of the show, Li Bai said goodbye to everyone and went to the parking lot to meet Ge Ying and Zhang Qiang, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Brother Bai, why can't you get through on your mobile phone. The director made a lot of phone calls in the afternoon. Ge Ying pouted, her eyes were pitiful, and she spoke listlessly.
"Haha, let's go back to Taili now. Zhang Qiang, drive to buy two roast ducks to eat on the way first, otherwise some people will hate me to death. Seeing Ge Ying's appearance, Li Bai knew what was going on, this snack was hungry.
"Great!" Zhang Qiang responded. Although Ge Ying next to her didn't say anything, after hearing Li Bai's words, her throat couldn't help but stir, and the sound of swallowing saliva came out. made Li Bai and the others laugh.
Then they packed two roast ducks along the way, and the three of them hurried to the table.
When he returned to Taili, Li Bai hurried to Wang Jing's office, and he was also in a hurry to report today's results to Wang Jing. After entering, I saw that in addition to Wang Jing, Huang Wen, Cui Kun, Lao Huang, Wang Fei, and several unfamiliar executives were also there.
"Are you in a meeting?" Li Bai teased.
"I'm sorry to say that we are all waiting for you. We've been waiting for you all afternoon, and we haven't eaten yet. You're good, I don't know how to reply to the phone. Huang Wen glared at him and said angrily.
"Sister, it's okay if I'm wrong. The mobile phone ran out of battery in the afternoon, and in the afternoon, I arranged the show scene with Brother Zhou. I'm going to be there tomorrow morning to record. I'll pay attention next time, hehe......" Li Bai explained.
"Xiaobai's show will start recording tomorrow? It is worthy of CCTV, and the efficiency is indeed high. Lao Huang said with envy.
"Xiaobai, how are things going?" Wang Jing said expectantly.
"Director Zhao does not agree with He Yu's early resignation, after all, CCTV has his own set of systems." Li Bai pretended to be helpless and said. Seeing everyone's disappointment, he secretly laughed, and continued: "However, Director Zhao agreed that He Yi started joining our show before he left his job. Mr. He himself agreed. ”
"Stinky boy, I found that you are getting worse and worse, and you have learned to hang everyone's appetite." Huang Wen walked over and gently twisted Li Bai's ears, and said angrily.
"Sister, let go, my ears have fallen out, I won't dare next time." Li Bai hurriedly begged for mercy. The people next to him also laughed, feeling very relieved, and even Xiao Cui, who usually had a serious face, showed his signature smile on his face.
"Hmph, dare to have a next time." Although Huang Wen said it, she still let go of her hand, and when she saw that Li Bai's ears were red, she rubbed her hand distressedly. Wang Jing's face twitched when he saw it, and the others were also happy to see Wang Jing's expression.
Li Bai was also a little embarrassed, quickly changed the topic, and continued: "Although I agreed, the price is a bit big. ”
"At what cost?" Wang Jing looked puzzled, even Cui Kun was too, he knew Director Zhao very well, and he usually took good care of newcomers, so it shouldn't be too difficult for Li Bai.
"It's not a price either. I took the initiative to agree. Li Bai probably told what happened, but did not disclose the details of the show. After all, there are still many unfamiliar executives here, all of whom have not been in Taiwan for a long time, and everyone has established absolute trust in each other. He didn't want Wang Kui's matter to happen again.
"Xiaobai, how sure are you?" Wang Jing said a little worriedly, after all, this is a big deal, if Li Bai messes up, it will be difficult to mix in this industry in the future.
"Brother Wang, don't worry. You see when I've fought a battle I'm not sure of. Li Bai said confidently, but he also had a lot of concerns in his heart. The Spring Festival Gala can be popular, not only by singing and dancing, but also by magic, opera, sketches, cross talk and other elements. But variety comedies are too backward, and the sketches haven't appeared yet, not to mention that I don't know if there is Zhao Laogen in this world, and he has also heard some cross talk on the Internet, all of which are quite traditional, traditional to old-fashioned ones, and many jokes are also vulgar, not very suitable for TV. I don't know where Lao Guo is hiding! These all need to be planned by Li Bai.
"It's good if you're sure, anyway, just mention it when you need it. You must know that you are now the second director of our station. Wang Jing said with a smile.
"What a second chief, so ugly. Brother Wang, don't worry, I will sell it together with Taili. Li Bai said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm absolutely at ease with you." Wang Jing said solemnly, but it always felt weird. Seeing the laughter, everyone suddenly realized that they slapped Li Bai on the shoulder.
The matter has also come to an end, and everyone is relieved. After joking for a while, everyone began to leave and go home, except for those who were on duty at night.
When the others were almost gone, only Cui Kun, Wang Fei, Lao Huang and Wang Jing were left in the office.
"Xiaobai, there is no one else now, tell me what else you have planned?" Wang Jing said cautiously, just now Li Bai deliberately gave a few people a look and asked everyone to stay.
"It's all my own, so I'll just say it. I plan to hold a Spring Festival Gala in our station this year, a music evening focusing on singing and dancing. Li Bai said seriously, this is what he has carefully considered. I'm going to try a cabaret party to test the market's reaction. Fortunately, there will be more chips when directing the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the future.
"Xiaobai, everyone is eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the thirty nights, playing cards, and playing. Who else watches TV? Huang Wen said worriedly. She grew up like this, and most TV stations stopped broadcasting around Chinese New Year's Eve, or rebroadcast some programs.
"Sister, don't worry. I am confident in this, and the loss is mine. Li Bai said confidently, what is the taste of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner without the Spring Festival Gala.
"Okay, but the investment can't let you out, count it in the table. No matter what, we have your back, so you can do it with confidence. Wang Jing said seriously, and the others also nodded solemnly. But everyone's faces were full of worry.
"You don't have to be so serious, that's a good thing." For everyone's unconditional support, Li Bai was moved and a little helpless at the same time, after all, it is difficult for everyone to change their views for decades.
Subsequently, Li Bai did not continue to entangle on this issue, everything is still Chinese New Year's Eve to see the effect to speak. Then he said to Wang Jing: "Brother Wang, the program we talked about today can be released." I will make a specific plan as soon as possible. ”
