Chapter 499: An Unexpected Invitation
PS: xiexie civet cat's tip!
Choi Jung-won did not stay at Juli's house overnight because he was busy with work.
Although the next day's "Popular Ballads" will not be attended, there is still an executive meeting to be chaired.
By the end of the year, his workload had skyrocketed, and time had begun to split in half again.
When she went to work the next morning, Jeon Mi-yeon walked in with a puzzled expression and put a fax on Choi Jung-won's desk. "Executive, a very strange fax from China says that you are invited to perform on a program called the Spring Festival Gala. If you don't think it's necessary, then I'll push it off. β
Cui Zhengyuan's hand that was hanging his coat was stunned.
This year's Spring Festival is January 21st, and it looks like it will be two weeks later.
For the first time, Cui Zhengyuan felt that someone might have played a prank on him.
He still knows the system of the Spring Festival Gala, and he usually starts preparing for it months in advance.
The roadshow crew must also be in place early, and there will be no less than dozens of rehearsals alone. Then the best of the best will be selected to determine the final list of performances.
A temporary invitation like this is obviously not the style of the Spring Festival Gala.
Besides, although there are also foreign artists on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. But it's more artistic, and a pop singer like him has never heard of it.
Thinking like this, Cui Zhengyuan picked up the fax and looked at it carefully.
With a single glance, his original suspicions were shaken.
Because this fax is very formal, the official language is very in place. Including Zuihou's inviter, it is also the name of Yuan Dewang, the main leader of CCTV and the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala.
With a signature and autograph, it doesn't look like a forgery.
For a moment, Cui Zhengyuan's heart was filled with irrepressible excitement.
You know, this is the Spring Festival Gala.
How many people dream of being on its stage, singing a red song that everyone knows, and once they become famous all over the world.
If Choi Jung-won can get on this stage. There is no doubt that this is great news for both himself and A.P.
Moreover, the political signal in this kind of thing is too strong, which means that A.P's future activities in Chinese mainland will be minimized by official obstruction and restrictions.
But after all, he has a strong heart, and it is impossible to believe it with just a fax.
picked up the phone and dialed Yu Xiaoguang's number, ready to inquire about the news.
Since he got in touch with Yu Xiaoguang, Cui Zhengyuan has reduced his contact with Ai Ruwan.
After all, it's a girl, or the fiancΓ©e of a powerful figure, and it's not good to be implicated too much.
Cui Zhengyuan still pays attention to this point of proportion. So I usually look for Yu Xiaoguang if I have something.
Although it seems to be asking for help, one day I will return the favor. But it's also a trick to get closer, depending on how well it is used.
The phone was quickly connected, and Yu Xiaoguang seemed to know what was wrong with him. "Zhengyuan, are you here to ask about the Spring Festival Gala?"
At this time, Cui Zhengyuan completely let go of the doubts in his heart and knew that this fax was true. Breathing a sigh of relief, he said, "Yes, Brother Guang." Why did you remember to invite me to the Spring Festival Gala, or was it so late? β
"Hehehe, it's not like you're doing a good job." Yu Xiaoguang hahadaxiao tunnel.
Knowing that Choi Jung-won doesn't know why. He patiently explained.
It turns out that since the establishment of C.J Group and A.P Company, in addition to vigorously developing their business in China, they have also participated in many public welfare activities.
Like SARS in 2002, C.J Group donated more than $3 million worth of medicines.
Later, A.P also strongly supported the Hope Project. Hundreds of hope primary schools have been built in the central and western regions.
In addition, the construction of Hengdian Film and Television City and the laying of CGV cinema line have greatly promoted the development of China's related industries.
Therefore, C.J Group and A.P Company have long been in the sight of China's political leaders, and they belong to the pro-China economy that is vigorously supported.
In particular, the exchange activities between the two countries after President Lu Wux's visit to China this year. The C.J Group is one of the most active companies in the world.
In particular, Cui Zhengyuan personally visited and talked cordially with the leaders of relevant departments after a series of jihua, which made the leaders appreciate.
So not long ago. Chief No. 1 personally instructed that on the occasion of the Spring Festival, the whole country should be invited to attend the ceremony, a friend of the Chinese people, to show the friendship between China and the ROK.
The order was issued, and the CCTV and Spring Festival Gala program teams dared to disobey a little, and immediately sent a fax obediently.
And they were afraid that they would not have a contact network with A.P Company, and they were afraid that there would be any errors, so they asked Yu Xiaoguang to come here.
This is also the reason why as soon as Weishenme Cui Zhengyuan called, Yu Xiaoguang knew his intentions.
After listening to the prince's explanation, Cui Zhengyuan was excited.
Unexpectedly, he didn't work in vain, and actually entered the field of vision of the No. 1 chief.
This can be regarded as a powerful figure in China's new generation of leaders, and it is precisely in the process of this leadership that China gradually got rid of the previous style of only caring about development, and began to gradually participate in the decision-making of major affairs.
And China, which has adhered to reform and opening up for 30 years, also let Shijie see her huge energy during this period.
Unconsciously, that ancient eastern country has actually become the second largest economic power in Shijie and the largest creditor country in Shijie.
With strong capital Liliang, its position in the international arena is becoming more and more important.
Excited, Cui Zhengyuan hurriedly said: "Brother Guang, if you have the opportunity to meet the chief, please tell me on your behalf." We at C.J Group have always been friends of the Chinese people and will do our best to promote the friendship between the two countries. Please continue to follow our performance and support our work. β
"Don't worry, if you don't say it, the above also knows. Wait a minute, I will relay your contact information to the Spring Festival Gala program team, you won't run out of time, right? Yu Xiaoguang took care of it.
Cui Zhengyuan smiled and joked: "Look at what you said, this is the Spring Festival Gala." Don't say you're not busy, you have to go even if you're busy. β
Thinking of the situation when domestic artists broke their heads in order to land on the Spring Festival Gala, Yu Xiaoguang also understood what Cui Zhengyuan meant. The same smile: "That's good, time is running out, you have to prepare well." performed well on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. When the time comes, my brother and your sister-in-law will go to the scene to cheer you on. β
"That's really good, such a grand stage, without the backing of you to be there, maybe I will be weak." People have helped so much, and Cui Zhengyuan is not hesitant to praise him to the extreme.
Cui Zhengyuan and Yu Xiaoguang chattered and spoke a lot in Chinese, and Quan Meiyan, who was waiting next to her, couldn't understand a word.
She is an administrator, and she doesn't need to do outreach and artist logistics, so naturally she doesn't need to learn languages that she can't use, so she doesn't know Chinese at all.
But she's bright-eyed and deaf. It can be seen that Cui Zhengyuan is very happy. So after he hung up the phone, he asked a little puzzled, "Is this show amazing?" It is worth putting down the current singing activities and running over in person. It was Chinese New Year's Eve, and I couldn't go home for reunion, what a pity. β
Cui Zhengyuan glanced at her, and said in a weird manner: "The program watched by more than one billion viewers, do you say it is important?" β
After speaking, he walked straight out to find Han Chenghao.
This time I want to go to China to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, and a lot of work here has to be thrown away. It is necessary to communicate with Han Chenghao and let the directors take responsibility.
In addition, I went to the Spring Festival Gala. It is also necessary to prepare the program that will be performed.
It must be wonderful, but also in line with the appreciation habits of the Chinese, and it must be more careful.
Seeing Choi Jung-won's back leave, Jeon Mi-yeon's frightened tongue couldn't retract.
More than a billion viewers. What's that concept?
The Republic of Korea has a population of only 50 million.
Even the most popular show, with more than 5 million people watching, is great news.
Even the most brilliant movies. More than 10 million moviegoers can be written into the history books.
With more than one billion audiences, the assistant of the whole university said that the pressure was great, and at the same time, he was also enthusiastic about such a stage.
Presumably in order to be on such a stage. The competition must be fierce.
On the way to the director's office, Cui Zhengyuan received a call from Yuan Dewang, the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala.
In order to facilitate communication, Yuan Dewang also temporarily brought in a Korean translator from Taili.
Unexpectedly, Cui Zhengyuan's first sentence of Chinese greetings at the beginning let him know that he was busy just now.
"I didn't expect that Tsui's Chinese language attainment is so profound, it's almost like a native Chinese." Speaking of the matter, Director Yuan praised first.
Originally, he only regarded this errand as a political task, but after listening to Cui Zhengyuan's words, he realized that the title of the other party's friend of the Chinese people may not be casually said.
"Director Yuan is too award-winning, I have liked Chinese culture since I was a child, so I have studied for a long time to have today's level, which cannot be compared with everyone." , who holds the power of life and death of the Spring Festival Gala program, Cui Zhengyuan also put down his figure and deliberately complimented him.
Although it is a sure thing that he will go to the Spring Festival Gala, how long he can appear on the show is in the hands of this director.
Yuan Dewang was very satisfied with Cui Zhengyuan's modest attitude, so he chatted happily about business. "Executive Cui, I don't know if you have any thoughts about participating in our Spring Festival Gala this time?"
Although there is a preliminary jihua, it is impossible for Cui Zhengyuan to come up and show his bottom, so let's see what others ask for. "I don't know what the program team has to ask for? Although Director Yuan mentions, I try to do it. β
This modest attitude made Yuan Dewang even more satisfied, so he carefully reminded: "The movie "My Sassy Girlfriend" produced by your company has a very strong response in China. I heard that the theme song in it was sung by Executive Choi himself, so why don't you perform it again at the party? β
Cui Zhengyuan was stunned, and he couldn't imagine that Yuan Dewang and his Jihua coincided. "Okay, according to Director Yuan's request. And I will make a Chinese version of "IBelieve" as soon as possible, and sing it for the first time at the Spring Festival Gala when the time comes. β
Look at people's attitude, this is the demeanor of an artist with professional ethics.
Yuan Dewang was almost moved to tears.
Every year on the Spring Festival Gala, in addition to the artists selected by the program group, there are also a large number of related households.
Whoever calls the mother-in-law on CCTV has a lot, and no one dares not listen to their words.
As a result, these related households rely on the backstage and do their own thing. Some people are scary, and they don't take the program team seriously.
There are many rules, and it's hard to serve.
If you want to talk as well as Cui Zhengyuan, Yuan Dewang's work doesn't know how much easier.
"That's too much Xiexie Cui's sincerity, so it's decided. Please be sure to come over early to participate in the rehearsal and listen to the masterpiece below. (To be continued......)
