The director of this year's Spring Festival Gala is a female director named Yan Nanyan.
He is CCTV's own director and has many years of stage directing experience.
She is well versed in the arrangement and design of various stage programs.
Yan Nanyan's team is one of the best among CCTV's major teams.
But this is also Yan Nanyan’s first time directing the Spring Festival Gala.
Qi Ji could tell from the dark circles under her eyes that she must have been under a lot of pressure recently.
"Teacher Qi Ji, we have been friends for a long time! I really like your songs!" In a workshop, Yan Nanyan shook hands with Qi Ji, "Should I call you Director Qi, or Writer Qi? Hahahahaha
, you are so versatile!”
Qi Ji said: "Just call me Qi Ji. Thank you Director Yan for the invitation. Can you guys listen to the new song I wrote for our Spring Festival Gala first?"
Yan Nanyan: "It's a good relationship. Being able to hear Teacher Qi Ji's new songs in advance is a treat that ordinary people don't enjoy!"
So Qi Ji opened his laptop and played "Unforgettable Tonight".
The seven or eight people present listened quietly.
This demo was sung by Qi Ji himself.
Made rather rough.
But with the blessing of Qi Ji's top singing skills, it still sounds particularly pleasing to the ears.
Yan Nanyan looked at the lyrics and gently pushed her black frame.
After listening to the song, she sighed: "The lyrics are really suitable for our Spring Festival Gala! Let this song be our closing song!"
Although I have known this song for a long time in my previous life, it always appeared as the final curtain call song on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
But at this moment, after Yan Nanyan only listened to it once and read the lyrics, he came to this result.
Qi Ji was quite surprised for a moment: "Director Yan, this...isn't this a bit hasty, hahaha!"
This is what Qi Ji said.
But he still couldn't hide his excitement in his laughter.
The closing song of the Spring Festival Gala... This is indeed something worth getting excited about.
"Teacher Qi, we all know your strength. You used this song to lead everyone to the stage for a curtain call at the end. I believe that no one will say anything." Yan Nanyan made the final decision.
What Qi Ji didn't know was that at this time point.
Nowadays, the TV is turned on less and less.
Qi Ji can appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. For the entire Spring Festival Gala team, they are the happiest one.
In everyone's internal meeting, Qi Ji has been identified as the one who can save the ratings for this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Before inviting Qi Ji, the entire team, including Yan Nanyan, was actually very nervous.
Because the news that Mu Yunxiu was about to give birth had already spread in the world.
Although Qi Ji and his wife have never officially announced this matter.
However, paparazzi from all walks of life have seen various clues, such as Mu Yunxiu not participating in the finals of the Yongzhou Singing King Competition, and Mu Yunxiu recommending many upcoming events.
From these signs, it can be seen that Mu Yunxiu is definitely pregnant.
So when the Spring Festival Gala team first called Qi Ji to invite him, everyone was actually very nervous.
Everyone had already prepared that Qi Ji would refuse the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala on the grounds that his wife was going to have a baby.
But I didn't expect it.
Qi Ji really agreed.
Not just agreed.
I also wrote a song that is so suitable for the Spring Festival Gala.
This made the entire Spring Festival Gala director team extremely excited.
So at this moment, Yan Nanyan seemed to have made a decision in front of Qi Ji with a slap on the head.
In fact, it is the result of long discussion by the entire team.
Qi Ji didn't expect that his visit to the Spring Festival Gala today would go so smoothly, which caught him a little off guard.
Then Qi Ji was led by a female staff member to the rehearsal backstage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Here, dozens of programs are being rehearsed and prepared nervously.
Many stars are there.
There is no special separate dressing room for everyone, they are all crowded together.
Someone was squatting in the corner eating a packed lunch.
Someone is contacting me about the upcoming rehearsal.
Someone is chatting.
The whole atmosphere backstage was busy and comfortable.
As soon as Qi Ji came in, he was immediately recognized.
Several acquaintances also gathered around.
"Teacher Qi Ji! You are also participating in this year's Spring Festival Gala!"
"Director Qi! You're actually here too!? What, what kind of show will you perform? Why don't you come and play in our sketch?"
"Oh my god! Is this the living Teacher Qi Ji? This is the first time I have seen the living Teacher Qi Ji!"
"Director Qi, your new play has a suitable role for me, so don't forget me!"
Qi Ji nodded and talked to everyone in a friendly manner.
If you stand backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, you will be a first-line artist.
So no one dares to show off here.
"Haha, yes, yes, I sing this year!"
"Yes, yes, it's a new song! Well, it's my own lyrics and music!"
"It's better to forget about acting in sketches! I don't have that kind of on-the-spot ability!"
"It's still early for the new drama!"
Qi Ji is indeed top-notch now.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately became the C position on the scene.
There are many ordinary dancers and acrobats standing in the distance, looking at this side with envy.
Some people who clearly liked Qi Ji had their mobile phones in their hands, but they didn't dare to come up and take photos with Qi Ji.
Everyone gathered around for a while and then dispersed.
At this time, an old acquaintance appeared in front of Qi Ji.
Qi Ji’s mentor Zhao Qingke.
Back then, in "Born Idol", Qi Ji and Zhao Qingke were still students and mentors.
But at this moment.
This is the second time Qi Ji has come to the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala.
And for Zhao Qingke, this was his first time.
And if she can participate in the Spring Festival Gala this year, she can't do it alone.
Instead, she relied on her disbanded girl group seven-seven.
The group broke up at first.
One of them dropped out.
The main C at that time, Jin Yanni, even had negative news exposed, so the entertainment industry immediately searched for this person.
The remaining five are flying solo.
But everyone's behavior is relatively average.
You can always only be in the fan circle and enjoy your own cuteness.
So this time, Zhao Qingke and the others were able to participate in the Spring Festival Gala in the name of seven-seven reuniting.
No one of them alone can reach this stage.
"Qi...Qi Ji..." Zhao Qingke stood one meter away from Qi Ji and waved gently.
She called out Qi Ji's name rather hesitantly, with an awkward expression on her face.
She and Qi Ji are about the same age.
If she had called Qi Ji by his name casually before, there would have been no problem at all.
but now.
Qi Ji's popularity is so high.
It is no longer on the same level as myself.
Seemingly seeing the embarrassment in her eyes, Qi Ji called out generously: "Teacher Keke, long time no see!"
