As the general person in charge of the skit "Kids Between Generations" and also the main actor, Ge Hongzhi was called to the studio by Zhou Weiguo, deputy director of the Spring Festival Gala. Along the way, he looked confused and asked questions with a little uneasiness in his heart.
: "Director Zhou, it's not our turn to rehearse the show yet, right? Is it ahead of schedule? If so, I'll go gather people right away."
"No." Zhou Weiguo shook his head and glanced at Ge Hongzhi: "Hongzhi, we will know what the specific matter is when we get to the studio and see Director Ao."
Monk Ge Hongzhi was confused and asked a few questions one after another. Seeing that Zhou Weiguo was very tight-lipped, he gave up, but his heart became even more cramped.
He changed his career from a drama actor to a sketch actor. In the past two years, his popularity has skyrocketed because of his status as a sketch actor. Then he was favored by capital and entered the film industry. A comedy starring him will be released by the end of this year.
In the past two years, Ge Hongzhi has been developing smoothly with the support of NIO Entertainment. He has often appeared in major variety shows, and his comedy effects are very good, so he came to the attention of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program team.
However, in Zhou Weiguo's view, the program they prepared, "More than a Generation", had a comedic effect, but not too much. Instead, it was more of a forced affection. Although this has been the main tone of the Spring Festival Gala in recent years, this year it was
The Spring Festival Gala led by Ao Yan was completely different.
Ao Yan once said something during a meeting, "The sentence that annoys me the most is that the core of comedy is tragedy. I don't know who said it. In short, this sentence doesn't work for me. Comedy is comedy, it's
We have to thoroughly please the audience and make them laugh, but we don’t have to slap them. During the Chinese New Year, everyone just wants to have fun, so we have to force the audience’s head to slap them. Isn’t that causing trouble?”
Many people have forgotten this sentence, or do not pay much attention to it. After all, almost all the programs sent from north to south are comedy and tragedy. A program is only about ten minutes long, and the whole program is comedy.
, which is somewhat difficult for the scriptwriter of the sketch.
Therefore, programs like "Family Between Generations" finally came into Ao Yan's eyes, and there were quite a few of them.
There are also many fine products among them.
In previous years, the chances of a program like this being featured on the Spring Festival Gala would have been greatly increased.
But this year, the Spring Festival Gala hosted by Ao Yan may be very different.
Therefore, Zhou Weiguo looked at Ge Hongzhi with eyes full of sympathy and pity.
It showed Ge Hongzhi's inner anxiety.
Finally, when I arrived at the Spring Festival Gala studio, I heard singing coming from the stage.
"The sky is blue waiting for misty rain, and I'm waiting for you
Birds rise in the smoke, thousands of miles across the river
The Han official script written on the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty
Just think of me as foreshadowing my meeting with you——"
On the stage, Han Sen was dressed in black, holding a microphone, and softly sang this song that was popular all over the country. In the audience, all the staff and performers raised their heads, listening to this acclaimed song with appreciation on their faces.
A divine song that is the pinnacle of Chinese style.
Ge Hongzhi also heard the singing, but he just looked up and continued to follow Zhou Weiguo to the director Ao Yan.
However, at this time, Ao Yan did not pay too much attention to Ge Hongzhi's arrival. She just listened to the song "Blue and White Porcelain" seriously, with eyes full of appreciation and satisfaction.
When Zhou Weiguo saw this, he did not dare to disturb him. He just stood aside quietly and enjoyed the performance on the stage.
Ge Hongzhi felt uneasy. Just when he was about to speak, he was signaled by Zhou Weiguo's eyes. He stopped his desire to speak and forcibly listened to this song that he had almost never heard before.
In the past two years, he has been busy every year, time is tight, and he has no musical ability, so he has no interest in the music world at all, or even the slightest attention.
Although I know "The King of Masked Singer", a show with explosive ratings, I don't know much about "Blue and White Porcelain".
At this time, I forced myself to listen, but the more I listened, the more I felt that the Chinese style was full of charm, and the talent emerged between the lines. Ge Hongzhi almost clapped his hands when he heard it.
"The words are like the bright moon shining among the pines, and the music is like the clear spring flowing over the rocks."
Next to him, Ao Yan murmured a poem.
This poem is a compliment to the song "Blue and White Porcelain" on the Internet. The original text is from the representative work "Mountain Dwelling in the Dark Autumn" by the great poet Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty. Now it is used to describe the song "Blue and White Porcelain", and it can be said that it is very appropriate.
Already.
Ge Hongzhi didn't have such a deep knowledge. When he heard Ao Yan say such a poem, he immediately began to flatter him: "Director Ao is so awesome and has great literary talent. I admire you, I admire you!"
Ao Yan frowned, turned to look at him, nodded slightly, and continued to listen to Han Sen's rehearsal song.
At this moment, under this classical music style, everyone seems to see the blue and white porcelain handed down from ancient times looming, like the tender woman, touching the hearts of the audience. Many actors and artists who don't know much about Han Sen are at this moment.
He nodded slightly, a little surprised.
Sure enough, it is not easy at all for a young person to rise rapidly in the music scene within half a year.
Whether it’s the singing skills, the timbre, or the lyrics and arrangement of this song, they have all reached a point where everyone is amazed.
Even Ge Hongzhi, under the singing of this style of music, was soothed and calm at this moment, as if he had become a pure listener, listening to the song constantly lingering in his ears, with a satisfied look on his face.
Finally, when the song ended, Ge Hongzhi came back to his senses from the melancholy music, took a careful look at Han Sen, and then turned his head. Just as he was about to say hello to Director Ao, he saw that Director Ao didn't even look at him.
He took a look at himself, stood up, missed himself, and walked straight towards the stage.
Ge Hongzhi's body stiffened, and when he turned around, he found that Director Ao had arrived in front of the stage. He was patting Han Sen's shoulder affectionately and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Your performance is as good as ever. Your stage skills are very solid and the effect is great."
Unexpectedly, I hope you can still maintain your current state by New Year's Eve."
"Don't worry, Director Ao, when the day comes to step on the stage, I will be well prepared and make sure nothing goes wrong," Han Sen said with a smile.
He was also in a good mood. Director Ao didn't seem to have high requirements for him. Whether it was the previous interview or today's formal rehearsal, Director Ao was very satisfied with his performance, which relieved Han Sen's pressure a lot.
Ao Yan said a few more words to Han Sen, many words of encouragement and advice, as if the elders cared about the younger ones. Seeing this scene made a deeper impression on Han Sen in the eyes of many people.
After Han Sen leaves, the next program will begin.
At this time, Zhou Weiguo took Ge Hongzhi to the director's chair. While Ao Yan had not put on the monitoring headphones, he said: "Director Ao, Ge Hongzhi from "Across Generations" has been brought to you."
Ao Yan picked up the headphones in her hand and was about to put them on. When she heard this, she seemed to have come back to her senses. Remembering that there was such a person beside her, she raised her head slightly and glanced at Ge Hongzhi, "Oh, it's Xiao Ge.
Ah, I almost forgot about you, what, your program has temporarily canceled rehearsals, because there are too many sketches this year, and it would be obviously inappropriate to arrange them all for the Spring Festival Gala, so the director team needs to think more about it... like this
, you and your team, go back and wait for notification! After the director team has completed discussions and made the final decision, I will have someone contact you."
Ao Yan spoke very quickly, without delay at all. It was like cutting through the mess quickly. After finishing speaking, she was ready to put on the headphones again.
But Ge Hongzhi was dumbfounded, what happened?
Haven't we already entered the finals?
We haven't rehearsed on stage yet, why are you suddenly asking me to go back and wait for notification?
And judging from what Director Ao means, it seems that he has no intention of letting him come back in the future. In other words, he won't be able to attend the Spring Festival Gala this year?
This won't work!
How many years have you been waiting for this opportunity, just gone?
Ge Hongzhi was stirred up in his heart and said hurriedly: "Director Ao, what's going on? The notice I received clearly stated that it passed the final review, so I had the opportunity to come here to rehearse. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Ao Yandan said calmly: "Nothing has changed. From the beginning to the end, the director team has not announced the final program list, so for now, all programs have the possibility of being eliminated. You are only the first, and you will not be the last. Don't worry.
,I am fair and impartial.”
Ge Hongzhi's eyes were red and he said with a trembling voice: "Director, I want to know a reason."
"reason?"
Ao Yan glanced at him and said, "Your program is not good. Isn't this reason enough?"
Many people around were carefully eavesdropping and peeking at what was going on here. From Ge Hongzhi's demeanor and Ao Yan's unhurried words, they could roughly tell the cause and effect. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire studio was filled with excitement.
Got nervous.
""Other Generations" was actually canceled? It's unbelievable!"
"No, isn't it? We haven't even performed on stage yet in "Kids from Another Generation"? Why were we suddenly announced that we were eliminated?"
"Did Ge Hongzhi offend the director? This is too unlucky. In two more shows, it will be their turn to rehearse on stage for "A Different Generation"."
"I have watched the rehearsals of "Family" before. Although the laughs are not very dense, they are definitely of top quality, especially the sublimation at the end of the show. I shed tears!"
"Director Ao and Han Sen have a very close relationship. Just backstage, Mr. Hou Delang, an actor from the "Across Generations" project team, pointed at Han Sen's nose and scolded him in the lounge?..."
"??I seem to have discovered Hua Dian?"
"In other words, Han Sen was bullied by the actors of "Old Family", so Director Ao is venting his anger on Han Sen? He directly kicked off the show "Old Family"? This... Lao Ge is going to lose a lot.
Sent!"
"Interesting, interesting. Ge Hongzhi took Hou Delang in for the sake of his seniors in the industry, but he didn't expect to cause such a big trouble for him. Hou Delang offended Han Sen, and he immediately gave the entire "Across Generations" program to him.
Unplugged!”
"Han Sen is so fierce!"
"With "The Family" being cancelled, does that mean we have another chance? Thank you Hou Delang!"
"Thank you Hou Delang!"
Many people were trembling and discussing excitedly.
At this moment, the rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala are still going on, and the director team is carefully screening each program.
But backstage, Ge Hongzhi, the general manager of "Family", was already furious. Especially after returning to the lounge, he heard other staff members of the program crew praising Hou Delang and yelling at Han Sen.
His posture made his head feel like it was buzzing.
"Your Majesty, you are so powerful. Even if Han Sen is popular in the music world, when he comes to you, no matter if he is a dragon or a tiger, he will have to lie down with you!"
"What the Marquis just scolded was so exciting! It's a good thing I wasn't there, otherwise I would have cursed him so much if I pointed at that young man's face. Let him know what it means to respect the elderly and love the young!"
"Han Sen really deserves it. A new actor actually called on fans to bully Liu Hanlin online. It's really abominable!"
"It's just a clown. Anyone can kill him. It's best to get him out of the entertainment industry!"
"Given the Marquis' seniority, it is for his own good to give him a few words of instruction. Sooner or later, he will pay the price for his arrogance. When the time comes, he will think of what the Marquis said today, and he will definitely be grateful to the Marquis."
"Master Hou still said it lightly. We can't hide some things, we should point them out to him directly..."
A group of people complimented Hou Delang in many words.
Hou Delang was overwhelmed with praise and felt very proud in his heart. He smiled and waved his hands. Just as he was about to say a few polite words, he saw the program manager Ge Hongzhi walking into the lounge with a gloomy look on his face.
Everyone immediately fell silent and looked at each other.
Many people could see that at this moment, Ge Hongzhi almost had the word "gnashing his teeth" written on his face.
Hou Delang's heart sank slightly, and he had a vague feeling of something bad, but he still put on a smile and took the initiative to ask in a gentle tone: "Xiao Ge, how is the performance going? Is it our turn to go on stage to rehearse?"
"
Ge Hongzhi didn't say anything. He sat on the chair in the main seat with an ugly face. He picked up the tea next to him and took a sip. He sipped his mouth and took another sip. The more he drank, the worse the taste became. He finally couldn't bear the feeling in his heart.
Furious, he suddenly raised his hand and slammed the tea cup to the ground.
There was a crisp snap.
The porcelain cup was smashed to pieces.
The whole lounge was silent.
Everyone was stunned.
"Hong, Brother Hongzhi, what happened?"
"Brother Hongzhi, if you need my help, just ask!"
"Brother Hongzhi, are the directors trying to find fault with you and embarrass you? It's okay. There are still two or three months until the Spring Festival Gala. We have plenty of time to revise the content."
A group of people asked with concern on their faces.
Even Hou Delang, who was trying to stay calm at this time, said with a smile: "Xiao Ge, if you want anything, tell me. At my age, I can't do anything else, but I can still speak a few words in the circle.
."
Ge Hongzhi still said nothing, but looked at Hou Delang with red eyes, and a sentence suddenly popped into his mind: Being old and not dying is a thief!
But he didn't dare to say.
One thing to say is that Hou Delang's seniority is indeed very high in the industry. After all, he can be regarded as an experienced actor. Although he has played supporting roles almost all his life, he was the leading actor in a mythological drama that year.
This mythological drama can be called a classic. In the past thirty years, it has been frequently broadcast by major TV stations, so that it has become a memory of a generation. A work blessed by memories can be said to have its own aura.
Therefore, this year, many netizens strongly appealed to Hou Delang to attend the Spring Festival Gala to help netizens have a blast of memories.
The reason why Ge Hongzhi recruited Hou Delang to join the group was because he wanted to rely on Hou Delang's reputation and voice to properly enter the Spring Festival Gala program list.
He thought that compared to other sketches, he was already a winner.
But I didn't expect that this old guy not only failed to help me, but actually ruined my own affairs!
As soon as he thought of this, his breathing became rapid.
But soon, he adjusted his breathing, smiled, and said with a relaxed face: "It's not a big deal, it's just that Director Ao just found me and said that our program was canceled. He felt that our program was not good, and he was dismissed.
…”
Snap.
Another teacup was broken.
Before everyone could recover from Ge Hongzhi's words, they saw Hou Delang, an old artist with both virtue and skill, suddenly crying and beating his chest: "Blame me, blame me!"
