Chapter 65 : Sugar Man Show Date and Spring Festival Gala Rehearsal!
the next day.
Before six o'clock, Cao Jun woke up from his sleep.
There is no way, Cao Jun gets up after five o'clock every day on the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". This has become a habit for several months in a row.
In fact, many times, Cao Jun doesn't want to get up so early. He wants to sleep comfortably and wake up naturally, but now is not the time for him to feel lazy.
To fight first and then settle down, this is Cao Jun's goal.
A writer named Yu Hua once said that he worked hard on writing at home, instead of playing cards and drinking beer with his friends, just to live a life without being woken up by the alarm clock.
After getting up, Cao Jun simply washed up and then went downstairs to have breakfast.
Cao Jun's requirements for breakfast have always been very simple. A bowl of soy milk, two fried dough sticks, and a steamed bun can basically satisfy his appetite.
As soon as I finished drinking the soy milk in the bowl, my cell phone rang.
Cao Jun picked up his phone and saw that it was Director Li Guoli calling.
Li Guoli called this time for no other reason than to invite Cao Jun to star in the drama "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
"New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is invested and produced by Tangren Film and Television. This "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" consists of six most representative stories, namely:
"Painted Skin", "Xiao Cui", "Infatuated Bird", "Lu Pian", "Xiao Xie and Qiurong" and "Xiao Qian" each have different characteristics and styles.
Speaking of which, Li Guoli was also kind to Cao Jun. Cao Jun was able to participate in the two dramas "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Best in the World" because of Li Guoli's contribution.
Although Cao Jun only played two supporting roles in the two dramas "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Best of the World", who would have thought that Cao Jun would become popular so quickly?
If Cao Jun hadn't become famous by copying songs, he might still be auditioning and submitting his resume to major film and television dramas, and even small supporting roles in some film and television dramas might not have the chance to appear.
Therefore, Cao Jun's support to Li Guoli has always been engraved in his heart, and he always thinks that one day he will be able to return this kindness.
Li Guoli invited Cao Jun to star in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". On the one hand, he was optimistic about Cao Jun's potential. On the other hand, he was also optimistic about Cao Jun's popularity and wanted to strengthen cooperation with Cao Jun.
After recovering his thoughts, Cao Jun asked Li Guoli: "Director Li, when will the filming of this drama start?"
After Li Guoli thought for a moment, he said: "Originally, we were going to shoot the drama "Liao Zhai" in October last year. Due to some external factors, it has been delayed until now. It may not start filming until March."
Cao Jun then asked: "Director Li, how long will it take to film this movie?"
Li Guoli said calmly: "It shouldn't take a month, because our drama is divided into several series, each series has about five or six episodes. If it is fast, it may not take 20 days. Do you have a schedule in March?"
Cao Jun hesitated for a while and said, "It should be... yes!"
Li Guoli said angrily and funny: "Is it yes or no? Why do I listen to you? It feels like there is no schedule!"
"If you don't have a schedule, don't be embarrassed to refuse. After all, you are famous now, and there must be more people looking for you to film. I can totally understand it."
Cao Jun didn't want Li Guoli to misunderstand that he was playing a big role, and he also felt that filming a movie in 20 days was an easy and comfortable thing, so he hurriedly said: "Director Li, I have a schedule."
Li Guoli then said: "Okay, I'll have someone send you the script and contract after a while. You can send me your address later."
"Okay Director Li!"
Li Guoli continued: "How about you read the script then. If you are not interested, you can tell me directly. Don't feel embarrassed."
Cao Jun hurriedly said: "Okay Director Li, I understand, thank you Director Li."
After talking to Li Guoli on the phone, Cao Jun suddenly felt enlightened.
Before that, Cao Jun had also considered whether he should take the role if Li Guoli asked him to film a movie.
Because Cao Jun felt that filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" made him physically and mentally exhausted, and he wanted to take a good rest and adjust for a period of time. He didn't want to take on an ordinary script.
You know, it takes a few months to film a drama, and the money you earn from a few months of filming may not be as much as what he earns from a few scenes.
However, Li Guoli was kind to him, so rejecting him like this was unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally.
Well now, the drama recommended by Li Guoli is a unit drama. Each unit only has five or six episodes. The shooting period will not exceed one month. It is not too relaxed and enjoyable.
Afterwards, Cao Jun put on a mask and hat, carried a guitar and went out. Accompanied by the staff, he came to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala production office.
As the hub of the CCTV Gala, the Spring Festival Gala Crew Office is responsible for the effective operation of various tasks of the Spring Festival Gala. It is also the functional office for the director team to implement various tasks.
Chief director Lang Kun is in the CCTV crew office, working with several staff members to intensively promote and sort out various tasks.
"Director Lang, Mr. Cao Jun is here."
After hearing what the staff said, Lang Kun raised his head and saw Cao Jun wearing a mask and hat. He quickly put down the work at hand and said, "Please sit down."
"Hello, Director Lang." Cao Jun said and sat down.
Lang Kun adjusted his glasses, looked at Cao Jun up and down, and randomly praised: "The image is outstanding, and the song writing is good, um, not bad."
Cao Jun said gratefully: "Thank you very much for the compliment, Director Lang. Director Lang looks very elegant and aura. It seems that he has been in a high position all year round..."
After some business exchanges, Lang Kun asked Cao Jun to come to the rehearsal to sing the song "Father's Prose Poetry".
As the melody sounded, Cao Jun stood on the stage, gently plucked the strings, and began to sing with his heart.
"1984
The crops haven't been harvested yet
My son is lying in my arms
sleep so sweetly
Outdoor movie tonight
No time to see
Wife reminds me
Repair sewing machine pedal
I'm going to my neighbor's house tomorrow
Borrow some more money
The child has been crying all day
Making noises about eating biscuits
…”
Although Lang Kun has listened to the song "Prose Poems Written by My Father" sung by Cao Jun many times recently, he still couldn't help crying when he heard Cao Jun sing it live.
In Lang Kun's view, the song "Prose Poems Written by My Father" will not be as popular as Andy Lau's "Gong Xi Fa Cai".
But the song "Prose Poems Written by My Father" has a far higher status in Lang Kun's mind than "Gong Xi Fa Cai".
In other words, no matter from the perspective of music, art, or even emotion, as well as the feelings of family and country, the song "Gong Xi Fa Cai", apart from being more festive and suitable for the occasion, cannot be compared with "Prose Poems Written by My Father" at all.
