Chapter 100: School Celebration Program
December 11th.
The day before Huayi's 20th anniversary.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Dongzheng Building, big stage.
The school celebration parade is undergoing a light rehearsal.
As the only art vocational high school in Fuwan City, Huayi has gone through 20 years of ups and downs, during which it has cultivated hundreds of artists who are active in the entertainment industry.
For example, actor Huang Honglei, who just won the Golden Wings Award for Best Actor last year, is a graduate of the fourth session of Huayi and the most well-known university president of Huayi.
There are also popular female singers Chen Huilun and Bai Xiufang, composer Wen Juan, and well-known host Ge Chaobao, all of whom came out of this rather fairy campus.
This school celebration, Huayi School strives to make a grand banquet, and almost every star artist who goes out from here has sent an invitation letter, hoping that they will either attend or participate in this school celebration event.
The school also sent invitations to many students who have not been in the entertainment industry and have engaged in other industries after graduation, hoping that they can go back to the school to celebrate the youth that everyone has walked through here.
Yi Yan, a graduate of the eighth class of Huaguang Art School, received an invitation letter from the school.
This afternoon rehearsal, Yiyan and Du Xinghe returned to their alma mater, which had left many good memories for his youth.
Not as a spectator, though.
On behalf of Yun Shijie, Ihiko came to discuss with the school celebration organizing committee the repertoire and order of participation of Yun Shijie artists.
Originally, Lin Jianguo was in charge of this matter, but this afternoon, Lin Jianguo took Xu Nuo to South China to shoot the plane endorsement photos of Guanghui Department Store.
At the same time, I also had to meet with Wang Xiaoyue's director team to talk about the details of the work of filming the MV, so I couldn't spare time to Huayi.
Like many big stars with tight schedules, Xu Nuo will definitely not be able to participate in the rehearsal of the show this afternoon, and she will improvise tomorrow.
According to the statistics of the school, there are nearly 60 stars who are willing to attend the Huayi School Celebration Gala this time, including the new actor Huang Honglei!
This 36-year-old hard-core actor, although he is not a student from the acting department of a film academy, is quite popular in the film industry with his natural acting skills and private affectionate and righteous personality.
This time, Dr. Chen Lufu, the old principal of Huayi, personally called and invited, Huang Honglei righteously pushed down the commercial activities to be participated in on the night of the school anniversary, and came to Huayi for free to help the old principal support the scene.
Like Huang Honglei, many celebrities returned to Huayi this time, and they only received the carriage fee to celebrate the birthday of their alma mater.
Even the stars who perform at the gala are very friendly in their appearance fees, which are almost less than one-third of what they do outside.
And Liliang, a newcomer in the music scene like Xu Nuo, is the same as Huayi's students, and participates for free at a price.
At the beginning, the organizing committee counted more than 40 groups of stars and students who signed up to participate in the party! There are nearly 60 performances and art programs!
That's a huge number, and it would take more than six hours to perform them all, which is too long.
In the end, after discussing with all parties, the organizing committee cut some programs that were not weighty, set the number of performers at 25 groups, and reduced the number of programs to 40, with an estimated performance time of four hours.
Small bands like Chaos, which are not very popular in the school, would have been cut by the organizing committee.
However, that afternoon, Yiyan came to negotiate with the organizing committee with a condition that the organizing committee could not refuse.
In the end, Chaos was not only retained for two performance tracks, but Xu Nuo was also arranged to appear in the finale!
And the finale set by the organizing committee before was Chen Huilun, who was known as one of the "four golden flowers" of national entertainment!
This 26-year-old popular female singer is a graduate of the 11th Huayi and one of the most haode female singers who have gone out from Huayi and developed in the music industry.
Its total album sales have exceeded 30 million copies.
At the beginning of March this year, Chen Huilun's new album "Beauty Diary" entered the top 10 of the monthly sales list of Chinese records for four consecutive months.
By the end of November, the album had sold more than 8 million copies!
Ranked among the top five female singers in record sales released this year.
This is also the most sold record of Chen Huilun in the eight years since her debut, and she is now standing at the peak of her acting career!
This show, with Chen Huilun as the finale, is a well-deserved thing.
The conditions put forward by Keyun Shijie to the Huayi Organizing Committee were too tempting, and in the end, Principal Chen Lufu personally made the decision, and the finale of the school celebration was set to Xu Nuo.
For this matter, Chen Lufu also personally called Chen Huilun and Guoyu to communicate. Chen Huilun was unhappy, but because Guoyu was the main sponsor of this Huayi school celebration, she had to accept this arrangement very reluctantly.
As a large record company in the industry that is best at packaging young idol singers, International Entertainment has unearthed a lot of good seedlings from Huayi over the years.
This time Huayi's 20th anniversary celebration, Guoyu attaches great importance to it and spends tens of millions of sponsorship fees to assist Huayi in organizing this event.
At the same time, they also invited more than 50 media friends to interview and report on the spot, in order to make this Huayi school celebration event an entertainment event comparable to the awards party.
Of course, they did not do this out of friendship, but to promote the 12 groups of our artists who came out of Huayi at this event.
This includes the popular Chen Huilun, Pan Weisen and others, as well as the newly signed 5LOVE band.
A popular actress like Bai Xiufang, who can compete with Chen Huilun, has long known that this Huayi School Celebration is the home of national entertainment, so she found an excuse and didn't come to participate at all.
In addition to National Entertainment, the Huayi background singers of the other three major record companies were also banned by the record company and did not come to participate in this school celebration.
This is something that Chen Lufu and other school executives did not expect.
If they had known that they were sponsored by National Entertainment, the school celebration would become a one-man show of National Entertainment, or even a concert of National Entertainment, they would not have signed a sponsorship contract with National Entertainment at all.
But things have come to this point, and they have to accept the status quo.
Chen Lufu personally called to invite Huang Honglei to attend the party, but he didn't want this school celebration to be labeled as too strong a national entertainment.
And when Yun Shijie, a small record company that quickly became popular, gave them even more incredible temptation conditions, Chen Lufu and his school executives were overjoyed!
Even if they know that they will offend the national entertainment party, they must reach an agreement with Yun Shijie, because only by doing so, in the eyes of outsiders, this school celebration will not be labeled as an obvious national entertainment.
And they also believe that the conditions of Yun Shijie will make Huayi's school celebration more attractive to the public, and will have an immeasurable role in promoting Huayi's future promotion.
