Gu Che and his entourage came to Wanfeng Building.

Director Wang Meng booked a small private room in Wanfeng Building, don't look at the small private room, but he can't get the permission to book a private room without a certain amount of consumption.

Luo Mingli looked at the layout in the private room and sighed: "The last time I came to Wanfeng Building for dinner was when I participated in an overseas Cantonese opera exchange a few years ago. The master took us to perform and it was very popular overseas. After returning to Nanzhou, he was very happy and invited us to come to Wanfeng Building for dinner. ”

The others remembered it, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

Gu Che said: "At that time, the master just wanted to take us to eat quietly, but halfway through the meal, he was recognized by a person in charge of the restaurant, and immediately arranged a large box for the master, welcomed the master in, and an ordinary meal became more lively than a banquet." ”

At that time, as soon as the large private room opened, many merchants passing by were inquiring about the news and asking who was in the private room, and the name of the master spread as soon as they came and went.

For the older generation of artists like the master, many people are very respectful, they have more or less heard the master sing the play, and they all come to visit with wine.

And the master faced them with wine, and only took a shallow sip of tea, even if he had greeted them.

The master sat in the main seat, surrounded by many bosses and said good things, and several of them nested in the small corner of the dining table to eat, raising their heads from time to time, with a look of envy in their eyes.

At that time, he was only 20 years old, a few years after going to university, and had just become an ordinary cadre in the school's student union.

Originally, he was still a little proud, but after watching the master's pomp, he realized that those in the school were too weak.

There is still a long way to go to be like the master.

Senior Brother Kong Ping also thought of something, and teased: "That incident...... The person in charge of Wanfeng Building was a good person to do bad things, the master didn't want to be so high-profile, he didn't want the person in charge to say hello, and opened a big box for him without saying a word, and the master didn't eat a few bites of food that day, and he was half full just by drinking water. After I went back, in the middle of the night, he asked me to pack a fried noodles for him and come back. ”

He Huanying said with a smile: "I also remember, the next day, the master specially mentioned to me a few words, don't accept Wanfeng Lou's performance invitation in the future, it can be regarded as making him angry enough." ”

Luo Mingli said again: "Compared with the big box in my impression, this small box is not so magnificent and simple. ”

Gu Che said casually: "Don't look at the people who come to Wanfeng Building to eat, the reason why we can come in so easily is because the person in charge of the hospitality master saw us at the door a few years ago, and let us in without review, it is not easy to come to Wanfeng Building for a meal." I guess if Director Wang Meng hadn't come to us to talk about things, I'm afraid he wouldn't have booked a box. ”

In a word.

Wang Meng came to Nanzhou TV for a few days, and ordered food in Wanfeng Building for a few days.

Except for Gu Che, who was an accident, he basically had a meal with the people from the TV station every day to keep in touch with each other.

There are too many doorways, not the old fritters in the business field, and they will be busy just for socializing.

It's still approaching the end of the year, and it's even busier.

can book a small box in Wanfeng Building, although the decoration is simple, but it can also be said that the rich are low-key, and the sincerity is at least brought.

After waiting for a long time, Director Wang Meng also arrived, and he hurried to the box with a suit hanging on his arm.

Seeing Gu Che and the others coming first, he was a little surprised: "You guys are so early?" ”

Gu Che was the first to speak: "I have been here with the master before, and the person in charge knows us, and soon let us in." ”

Although the relationship between the master's side is difficult to rely on, it is not impossible to borrow the master's tiger power when necessary.

People don't want to be so rigid~

"Master?"

Wang Meng was stunned for a while, remembering which Cantonese opera troupe Gu Che's group belonged to, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Oh, it turns out that you are all master Ding's disciples!" ”

The smile on Wang Meng's face became more sincere, "Disrespectful and disrespectful, wait for me to say hello to Master Ding." ”

The older generation of Cantonese opera masters are all artists, and they can be called both moral and artistic in the art world, and their reputation is far and wide.

Cantonese opera is also a form of artistic performance, and a master Ding represents not only the energy of the Cantonese opera industry in Nanzhou, but also the energy of all artists of the older generation.

His friends are not only Cantonese opera performers, but also Peking Opera, Sichuan Opera, Henan Opera...... They all have his connections, and even anyone who has anything to do with art, maybe everyone has some origins to some extent.

Wang Meng is the ace director in variety shows, and in order to present better audio-visual effects in the show, he can be said to have dealt with people in the art world all year round.

He has a shot in his heart that Cantonese opera masters like Ding Taiqi must not be offended.

Even with it, his attitude towards Gu Che and the others also changed.

Wang Meng originally thought that he would take the initiative in this communication and press Gu Che to gain a greater say for the start of variety shows in the future.

But now he immediately switched from plan B to plan A.

After meeting, things are not in a hurry.

Wang Meng didn't talk about it first, and asked the waiter to serve the food first, and then serve the wine.

Wang Meng asked: "Drink white or red, foreign wine?" ”

Gu Che smiled embarrassedly: "I'm still a student and can't drink, but my senior brother can drink." ”

Kong Ping immediately answered: "I drank white, but I didn't drink very well, please forgive me if I get drunk!" ”

Wang Meng can be the director of the ace show, and he is also very emotionally intelligent when he speaks, and immediately said: "Just drink a little, I don't drink well, I can drink it, even if I can't drink it, don't force it." ”

Scold.

That's how to say it.

I believe you're a ghost.

Gu Che and the others all secretly slandered in their hearts.

Once you get drunk, you either fall asleep, vomit, or continue to drink and say that you are not drunk.

Eating food, drinking three rounds, chatting about family life, the atmosphere gradually opened.

Under the not-so-bright light, Director Wang Meng looked at Kong Ping, who was not blushing and out of breath, with slightly red cheeks, and muttered in his heart: This amount of alcohol is not good, who is this bullying?

He estimated his limit in his heart, didn't dare to delay, looked at Gu Che and asked about the stage.

Gu Che put down his chopsticks and took a shallow sip of tea to moisten his throat, and the business came!

"At the beginning, we decided on the folklore "The Legend of the White Snake", and we wanted to make a new Cantonese opera interpretation of "The Legend of the White Snake". But in the process of screenwriting, we found that it was too difficult to express the emotions conveyed by "The Legend of the White Snake" in just ten minutes! ”

"At least in the form of Cantonese opera, it is very difficult, even if it is an excerpt of the relevant fragments, but without a synopsis, it still feels wrong. So, we were born with an idea, why not express it in a different way? ”

Gu Che emphasized: "Because all the people in our group are young people, everyone is very young, and the ideas are very new, so in the end I thought of using song and dance to convey it, using the combination of pop music and Cantonese opera to create a stage that can convey the emotions of "The Legend of the White Snake". ”

"In our minds, music is actually a good carrier of emotions, more moving than dance, just a few simple lyrics, can encompass many complex feelings. The most important thing is that everyone hears and feels different. In addition, we think that the variety show "Ace Action" is aimed at a very young audience, and it should be able to achieve a good integration in the way of singing and dancing music. ”

Director Wang Meng nodded, and this went to his heart!

The audience is what he is most worried about recently!

Don't look at "Operation Ace", it has been eight years, it is an evergreen tree in variety shows, and it looks very old.

But in fact, the audience of this show has always been young.

Eight years, his hard work has been in these eight years, this show is like his child, he is very cautious about making the slightest change. Not to mention that this time we want to subvert the past, have a big blood change, and don't follow the old road at all.

How to keep the existing audience and continue to attract new audiences is a topic he has been researching.
