The news that Xu Ji suddenly became the director of this year's Spring Festival Gala has to say that many artists who were originally full of confidence began to worry.

The main thing is that everyone is not sure what the criteria for Xu Ji are.

is like the previous Duan Suxin, who can be regarded as a traditional director of the Spring Festival Gala.

and has served for three consecutive terms, in fact, everyone probably knows the program standards that can pass the audition.

But it was replaced by Xu Ji, and I have to say that some artists who were originally confident in the show began to doubt themselves.

After all, if their show is compared with some competitors of the Spring Festival Gala, they still feel that they have a chance of winning.

But if Xu Ji still does most of the program planning like last year, there is probably no hope.

Last year's Spring Festival Gala, Xu Ji was responsible for several programs, and everyone was not blind about the final quality and effect.

Naturally, you can still tell the difference.

And the most important thing is that Xu Ji's reputation has always been somewhat deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Many creators, especially songwriters, will subconsciously feel empty in front of Xu Ji.

Others criticize their songs for not being good, and they may just go back on the spot.

But if it is Xu Ji who says it, he can only listen honestly.

Because it's very likely that this guy will really use the style and theme of your song to write a better song than you on the spot.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Some singers from other companies have not had strong business ability on the one hand, and there are many things.

It's easy to make some moths from time to time.

Whether it is a film crew or a crew of the Spring Festival Gala, Xu Ji hopes to have absolute control over it.

......

"I'm sorry, boss, I've been preparing a new album recently, and I guess I won't go to the Spring Festival Gala."

The first person to respond in the group was Kong Cheng.

As a person who has already appeared on the Spring Festival Gala before, he actually doesn't have as much desire for the Spring Festival Gala as he did at the beginning.

On the contrary, the songs of the new album that he just got from Xu Ji are more attractive to him.

He's now almost fully committed to his new album.

And Kong Cheng is not the kind of half-hearted character.

Even have a clear understanding of their own abilities.

Whether it is an album or participating in the Spring Festival Gala, it can only be a choice of two.

If you want to do it at the same time, one of them will definitely be affected, or even both.

So Kong Cheng did not hesitate at all, and directly gave up the opportunity to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

Followed by Kong Cheng, it was Yu Feifei.

Not surprisingly, she also directly refused.

"Mr. Xu, my album is also being prepared, and I don't think I can spare time to [hide my face and cry .jpg]."

Xu Ji looked at the response of the two and felt a little regretful in his heart.

I knew that I would have given the two of them those songs of the new album later.

Now because of this, there are two missing solo programs that he had already thought of.

......

It didn't take long for Li Fenghua to also appear in the group and said directly:

"I just got off the plane, and I guess I won't be able to return to China until the next year......

Xu Ji knew that Li Fenghua took his family to travel abroad.

The other party told him before.

Since Li Fenghua won the best male singer with golden notes and was successfully promoted to the king of singers, the whole person has completely become Buddhist.

I didn't even accept any invitations to perform in the future.

It feels like I'm going to quit the music scene.

Of course, Xu Ji also respects the other party's choice.

However, after asking Li Fenghua, the other party said that he just wanted to rest for a while.

quitting the music scene and no longer singing or something, it's not so much.

But obviously, this Spring Festival Gala will definitely not be able to count on each other.

The only one in the group who can agree is Xi Yiyi, who joined Tongji Entertainment last.

She is also the only one in the entire Tongji Entertainment who has not been to the Spring Festival Gala at present.

In addition, the Scream Band also wanted to refuse.

The four members of the Scream Band are all from Guangzhou, and because they joined Tongji Entertainment, they can be regarded as settling in Rongcheng.

At a time like the Chinese New Year, it is the only day to be able to go back to my hometown to visit.

Originally, Xu Ji was embarrassed to force them, but he didn't expect the screaming band to agree directly.

Obviously, several people also saw that Xu Ji, as the director of the Spring Festival Gala, really needed them.

Xu Zhize even said directly that in fact, there is no restriction on Tongji Entertainment, if you want to take a vacation, just take a break after the Spring Festival.

Participating in the Spring Festival Gala actually helped their exposure.

However, as a band that has participated in the Spring Festival Gala twice, the current popularity and popularity of the Scream Band are actually not lacking in the exposure of the Spring Festival Gala.

For the kindness of the four members of the Screaming Band, Xu Ji did not refuse.

The main consideration is that the artists under Tongji Entertainment can provide at least six programs.

Now, plus Sha Yetong, there are only three left.

This means that there are a few more programs that need to be selected in the audition.

The difficulty has increased quite a bit.

......

"Xu Ji has become the director of this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

"What the hell is going on here?"

Phoenix Entertainment, Li Bokai was not in a very good mood at this time.

Mainly because I just saw the news that Xu Ji became the director of the Spring Festival Gala.

As the main person in charge of the company, Li Bokai does not do everything himself.

But it is clear that the company is focusing on projects in all areas.

In terms of film and television, although the screenwriter core system has not been a so-called great success, it has encountered a lot of twists and turns along the way.

But it can also be regarded as gaining a foothold in the domestic film and television industry.

Phoenix Entertainment's second phase of screenwriter training has also officially raised the schedule.

It's just that the Spring Festival Gala has been prepared for a period of time, but now it seems that there has been a big change because Xu Ji has become a director.

Mainly because of the long-standing grievances between their company and Tongji Entertainment, he has to worry about whether Xu Ji, the director of the Spring Festival Gala, will deliberately target the singers of Phoenix Entertainment.

Previously, the singers of Phoenix Entertainment had a complete change.

Including Yu Feifei, many first- and second-tier singers have terminated their contracts with the company.

Some newcomers in the music industry that Phoenix Entertainment has praised during this period of time, and their performance is actually quite good overall.

But it can only be said that they all have good potential, but they are far from catching up with the previous level.

Li Fenghua was originally to break and stand up, so he terminated the contracts of some singers who did not have much room for growth.

For the current group of newcomers under Phoenix Entertainment, the Spring Festival Gala is indeed a pretty good stage.

It can greatly increase the popularity.

Let the singer avoid a lot of detours.

Therefore, Phoenix Entertainment's attention to the Spring Festival Gala is obviously more important than the previous two years.

"Mr. Li, what should we do then?"

Hearing the question of his subordinates, Li Bokai rolled his eyes a little speechlessly.

"What can I do?"

"Could it be that Xu Ji can't be the director of this Spring Festival Gala?"

Li Bokai didn't even think about such an idea.

The official side is not a fool.

If you really want to target Xu Ji, let the other party step down from the position of director of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Let's not talk about how much effort and effort it takes.

And the success rate is pitifully low.

After all, the relationship between Tongji Entertainment and the official is no secret in the industry.

Even Li Bokai felt that many official departments, including the Television and Radio Bureau, were too biased.

After all, last year's "Red Sea Operation" by Xu Ji was enough for the official to come forward to protect it.

This is also the reason why he was able to become the director of the Spring Festival Gala so smoothly, but Li Bokai didn't feel that there was a problem at all.

"Just go according to the previous plan, the main thing is to make our company's singers perform more perfectly."

"As for whether they can pass the audition, it depends on their creation."

"If it's really outstanding, with Xu Ji's current identity, there's really no need to take the initiative to target them."

"At most, the requirements are a little higher than some other singers."

Li Bokai sighed helplessly and said.

Since he completely took over Phoenix Entertainment, he has only experienced a sense of powerlessness a few times in total.

It's all related to Tongji Entertainment and Xu Ji.

When he thought about the beginning, Li Bokai also thought about incorporating Xu Ji into Phoenix Entertainment.

Now, such unrealistic ideas are completely gone.

Tongji Entertainment's current influence, as well as the scale of the company, feel that the gap with Phoenix Entertainment is not large.

Even Xu Ji and Tongji Entertainment did not affect his company's development plan, then thank God.

.......

In Beijing, the audition of the Spring Festival Gala finally ushered in the official start of the day.

And this time, the main person in charge is naturally Xu Ji.

The two people around him are the assistant directors of the Spring Festival Gala.

Originally, Duan Suxin also planned to come, but was stopped by the hospital.

Let her recuperate for a while longer.

Xu Ji also persuaded Duan Suxin to participate in the audition in a wheelchair, which is indeed not necessary.

What's more, this is just the first round of auditions.

Xu Ji had also participated in the Spring Festival Gala audition before, but he didn't expect that he would one day become the director of the Spring Festival Gala and become the person in charge of the audition.

"Director Xu, hello teachers, my name is ......."

The audition officially began, but the process was not complicated.

Xu Ji is even more convenient how to come.

For the information of the artists participating in the audition, they are too lazy to read it.

Anyway, whether you look at it or not, it's the people of those companies.

The three are indeed the largest companies in the entire entertainment industry, and the level of their artists is not comparable to that of some small companies.

Among the artists who participated in the audition, the three major singers who prepared the most complete programs were still the three.

Some other companies, although there are also more eye-catching, but the proportion of the number is indeed very low.

Of course, whether it is the three major artists or some other large and small companies, Xu Ji still has a headache after watching the audition in the morning.

He also knew that maybe he was a little stricter.

But many programs are indeed of a worrisome level.

Especially for singing and dancing programs, the quality of these original songs is not high.

It's the kind that fits the theme, but doesn't have any memory points at all.

Although there won't be much wrong with choosing these shows, it will obviously make the Spring Festival Gala boring.

In the end, the word-of-mouth evaluation among the audience is destined to be low.

This is similar to what Xu Xi expected before, the audition of the Spring Festival Gala is a bit chicken for many first-line or super-first-line singers and queens.

Especially those who have participated in the Spring Festival Gala a few times, they will not take the initiative to sign up.

Most of the rest of the people are second- and third-tier newcomers who want to become popular overnight because of the popularity and ratings of the Spring Festival Gala.

But it's not like there's no way to fix it.

Although they are all newcomers, there are not many people who can name Xu Ji.

But some of these newcomers still have a lot of potential, but the quality of the songs is not good.

If you can, it seems that you still have to Xu Ji to be in charge of the songs of the Spring Festival Gala.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji couldn't help but have a little headache.

The artists of other companies obviously do not have the level of Tongji Entertainment.

It's equivalent to preparing a new show again.

The time it takes to re-practice the song is much more expensive.

There is a high probability that Xu Ji will have to keep an eye on it himself.

What's more, among the singers who participated in the audition on the first morning, there is currently no singer who is worthy of his initiative to help write songs.
