Chapter 650: Joining a New Project (Part 2)
The entire Spring Festival Gala program lasts for more than 4 hours from beginning to end. Even if it is a rehearsal, the workload of participating in the entire process is not small.
The rehearsal was carried out completely in accordance with the standards of a formal performance. For Huahai Entertainment artists, the chorus "Chinese Happy Events" by the Phoenix Legend Group was placed at the beginning of the show to warm up the show because it was more festive.
Ye Zhiqiu's solo "Descendants of the Dragon" was scheduled to be performed one and a half hours after the Spring Festival Gala started. This was also the prime time for the Spring Festival Gala's ratings, which shows that the program team attached great importance to this performance.
And Yu Caiwei sang "Unforgettable Tonight" at the end, which had already spread among all the guests.
Originally, some people were skeptical about having the young Yu Caiwei lead the vocals at such an important moment, but when the lyrics and demo of the final chorus of "Unforgettable Tonight" were sent to their hands, all of them were shocked.
The first reaction was not to be amazed by Yu Caiwei’s singing voice, but—what the hell can Ye Zhiqiu even write a song of this style!?
Everyone is very knowledgeable. When comparing this song with "Sleepless Tonight", a regular on the Spring Festival Gala stage, there is even a vague feeling that "Unforgettable Tonight" is better.
After the rehearsal began, Phoenix Legend and four male guests soon appeared on the stage, and the extremely festive chorus quickly heated up the atmosphere.
One show after another came on stage, and the rehearsals were carried out in an orderly manner, but Zhao Jinglun, the chief director backstage, frowned.
The language program ran out of time and was a bit boring.
The actors performed well and the show was entertaining, but from an audience's point of view, it didn't actually feel that funny. The key is that the audience had just gotten a feel for it and were looking forward to a wonderful ending when the show suddenly stopped.
It turns into sensationalism, giving people a sense of forced violation.
The overall feeling is that I haven't even laughed enough, and it's trying to make me cry. If it doesn't rise or fall, it makes me feel uncomfortable.
After Zhao Jinglun took over the position of chief director, he did an in-depth investigation and understood the complaints made by online audiences about the Spring Festival Gala, and also knew which direction should be improved, but...
Zhao Jinglun sighed lightly. There are many things that cannot be changed by just talking, and it is too late to change them now.
However, Zhao Jinglun looked at the program in his hand, a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
The next program is "Descendants of the Dragon".
Like Zhao Jinglun, many rehearsal guests were extremely curious about Ye Zhiqiu's solo performance.
Being able to sing solo in the Spring Festival Gala is definitely a singer whose image, popularity and singing skills are indispensable. If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Zhiqiu will set a record in this Spring Festival Gala - the youngest singer in history to sing solo in the Spring Festival Gala.
Under the eyes of everyone who were either curious, expecting, or questioning, Ye Zhiqiu stepped onto the rehearsal stage.
The moment Ye Zhiqiu appeared, the appearance alone made many people's eyes widen.
Cool!
Ye Zhiqiu, who was on the stage, carried a strange-looking electric guitar on his back. The whole guitar turned out to be in the shape of a circling dragon, shining with a thick silver-white golden sheen.
Ye Zhiqiu was obviously wearing a well-tailored suit, but his overall look had a wild and flamboyant style.
And when the singing started, this sigh was especially obvious.
Backstage, many waiting guests and staff unconsciously slowed down their hand movements, attracted by the performance on the stage.
Many guests got high after listening to it, especially the celebrities who also performed singing programs, and sighed in their hearts.
Everyone is attending the Spring Festival Gala, why can you show off like this?
After the rehearsal is over, the program team will make further adjustments. The duration will be reduced if necessary. Some programs that do not meet the requirements will be placed in the alternative group, and they will basically be scrapped.
But Ye Zhiqiu, Phoenix Legend and Yu Caiwei don't have to worry about this problem. Zhao Jinglun is very satisfied with these three programs. He even has a premonition.
The reputation of this Spring Festival Gala depends on Ye Zhiqiu's success...
...
This rehearsal is over, and there will be two more rehearsals in the future. There is still more than a week until the next one.
However, Ye Zhiqiu did not leave Beijing immediately and came to the TV Building again the next day.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, companies will have the tradition of holding annual meetings and summary meetings, and TV stations are no exception.
The program "National Treasures" has ended. This phenomenal cultural and museum exploration program has achieved unprecedented success, setting off a "museum tourism craze" across the country.
The increase in ticket prices and the development and sales of related cultural and creative peripheral products have given museums in various places a substantial increase in income.
This program, which not only plays a role in popularizing science, but also earns word-of-mouth and money, can be said to be the most successful cultural variety show in recent years. Naturally, the TV station officials must vigorously promote and commend it.
Among them, the one who deserves the greatest credit is naturally Ye Zhiqiu, who also serves as the program’s special consultant, screenwriter, and music director.
At the summary meeting, Ye Zhiqiu once again met Minister Wu, an old acquaintance from the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Director Yin of the National Museum, and others. Naturally, there was a warm exchange of pleasantries.
"Uncle Yu." Ye Zhiqiu greeted.
Yu Zhengdao, who was present as a representative of the title sponsor, nodded and said, "Go home for dinner tonight."
"Okay, auntie called me."
Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously: "You said there was good food tonight? You also said I had eaten it before. Uncle Yu, do you know what it is?"
"..." Yu Zhengdao thought of the oysters that were flown home yesterday. After a long silence, he said, "I didn't see them."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and didn't take it to heart.
Yu Zhengdao sighed softly in his heart, but his eyes towards Ye Zhiqiu were very gentle.
This daughter-slave has silently accepted the reality that the young man in front of her is her son-in-law. At this point, the two young men can just let nature take its course. There are some things that they cannot stop even if they want to.
But I don’t know if it’s necessary to talk about the “gentleman’s agreement” I had with this guy before...
What Yu Zhengdao didn't know was that Ye Zhiqiu and his daughter in front of him had already done what they should and shouldn't do...
If he had known, the powerful chairman of Huayu Group might not be so calm.
The summary meeting began. Although Ye Zhiqiu was not interested in such an overly formal occasion, he still cooperated on the stage to commend and speak.
In the end, several more certificates of commendation were issued, as well as a bonus of 10,000 yuan.
Ye Zhiqiu felt that the 10,000 yuan bonus was the most realistic, but the agent Song Mei who came with him asked his assistant to carefully put away the certificate.
Just kidding, if you can buy an official commendation certificate for ten times the price of 10,000 yuan, you will probably be able to steal it. Ye Zhiqiu doesn't take it seriously. If a traffic star gets these honors, it won't be a hot search in a day.
You can definitely see relevant news on the list.
After the meeting ended, Ye Zhiqiu was not able to leave yet and was once again pulled into the negotiation room by the enthusiastic Minister Wu.
There were also several familiar faces in the room, all of whom were leaders and staff of the variety show channel, whom they had met during previous cooperation on the "National Treasure" project.
"That's right, Brother Ye."
Minister Wu knew Ye Zhiqiu's style and got straight to the point.
""National Treasure" is over. Taiwan wants to continue this style and create a new cultural variety show."
Chapter completed!
