Chapter 235 The era’s ultimate ratings, god-level songs
"Goose, goose, goose, goose!" In the office, Director Ren turned on the TV and watched with great joy.
Since the Spring Festival Gala has entered its official track, Director Ren has left the organizing team, only in name.
You know, after a long time, the director will be the general manager of China Film Group. When Tan Wulin took office, he would not do many things personally. At this time, these things have to be handled by the director.
However, on the evening of the Spring Festival Gala, Director Ren had no way to go home. In his words: he had to finish his last shift.
Director Ren looked at the TV in front of his desk and burst out laughing.
The young man holding the fax with the ratings felt nervous.
This time, should I hit the door, or should I not hit the door?
"Bang!"
If you hesitate, you will lose. In the end, you failed to stop the car and crashed into it.
Director Ren was startled when he saw it was his subordinate: "That's reckless."
"After twelve o'clock, I changed my shift and a new director came. You are still so reckless. What if people don't like it?"
Young man: "Ah? Don't worry, Director Ren. Deputy Director Luo, who will take over, is familiar to me...cough cough cough."
Director Ren smiled: "Okay, you are smart enough... What are you doing here?"
The young man raised the A4 paper in his hand: "Ratings statistics!"
Director Ren raised his eyebrows, took off his glasses and wiped them: "Let me guess, if Han Zhou takes action, the initial ratings will definitely be the highest in history."
The young man nodded.
Director Ren took a sip of tea: "How much?"
Young man: "Forty-seven point three-six percent!"
Director Ren was stunned for a moment.
Han Zhou just made a move and already reached the highest ratings of the Spring Festival Gala in recent years?
In fact, things like ratings, especially the ratings for the Spring Festival Gala, are too hard to beat.
According to statistics, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala in southern provinces have been declining since eight years ago.
Last year, the viewership rating of the Spring Festival Gala in Northeast China was as high as 80%.
In other words, of the TV sets sold with TV networks installed, eight out of ten are turned on to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
The lowest is Nanhai Island, with a Spring Festival Gala ratings of 1.3, and only one out of 100 channels watched the Spring Festival Gala.
As for Guangfu, the ratio is 5%, and the ratings for Xiguangfu are a pitiful 2%.
In the transition areas of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the ratings are only over ten percent.
Going north, the lowest is more than 50%.
But one problem is that the south is more economically developed, has more small family models, has more TVs per capita than the north, and has a higher population than the north.
Therefore, the theoretical maximum audience rating of the Spring Festival Gala is 47%.
It’s not that the directors of each Spring Festival Gala didn’t do a good enough job, but that certain factors made it impossible for the Spring Festival Gala’s ratings to be high.
However, this year is different.
One month in advance, Han Zhou asked his people to promote it on a large scale in the Cantonese-speaking Internet section. Lin Xiaoxing will be the first singer to sing at this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Just having Lin Xiaoxing on stage can increase the ratings in Guangfu by more than 10%.
Originally, there were not many TV options on New Year's Eve. The reason for the low ratings was that people didn't turn on the TV at all.
However, audiences in the Guangfu area, including West Guangfu, heard that Lin Xiaoxing would be on stage very early, so it was okay to turn on the TV and take a look first.
And whether we can keep people is a big question.
Han Zhou's second trick to improve the ratings is to kick out the people in the Beijing circle and keep the Northeastern sketch actors as long as they should, so that he can continue to maintain the ratings base of the four Northeastern provinces and the four Shanhe provinces.
Other personnel have also put a lot of thought into this aspect.
This year, Hanzhou has used a large number of people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Guangdong. It is normal that the basic viewership rating is 47%.
The first non-dance program is directly on "Protagonist and Supporting Actor", in order to change the audience's understanding of the Spring Festival Gala at once.
Director Ren: "So, how much did the second program slip?"
You know, before the Spring Festival Gala starts, the news broadcasts and weather forecasts have very high ratings even in Guangfu and Nanhai Island.
Many people either don’t want to watch the Spring Festival Gala, but they haven’t had time to turn off the TV yet.
Young man: "Forty-seven point three."
Director Ren: "It's true...how much? Forty-seven point three?"
You must know that in recent years, everyone has been embarrassed to talk about the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala.
In this world, in 2003, the audience rating of the Spring Festival Gala was as high as 52%.
It lasted until 2010 when it dropped to 30%.
In 2011, it suddenly plummeted to 15%!
It pulled back a lot in 2012, but it has maintained a ratings of over 20 since then.
Until last year, it fell below 20 again.
So in recent years, all we talk about is the highest ratings, and the highest ratings can still be over 40% at the moment. It’s not a shame to talk about it.
This year, the premiere ratings are 47, which everyone wants.
After all, a large number of TV viewers have watched Han Zhou's TV series in the past two years. Through media and emerging network promotion, everyone knows that this year's Spring Festival Gala is directed by Han Zhou, so they have more expectations.
But it didn’t fall?
You must know that in the past few years, as soon as the first sketch moment arrived, the ratings began to decline rapidly.
At this moment, Guyu was introducing: "Xiaolan, what do you usually do during the Chinese New Year?"
Male host Lan Heyun: "Me? Usually I just lie down at home."
The audience burst into laughter, and Guyu asked: "Aren't there some serious activities?"
Lan Heyun shook his head: "When I was still underage, I was the one who asked for red envelopes. I was more active."
"Recently, others ask me for red envelopes. I close my shop from the first day of the Lunar New Year until I get to work."
Guyu laughed happily: "Stingy."
"I like to play mahjong during the Chinese New Year."
Lan Heyun: "Oh, you still have this hobby!"
The audience was also surprised. The host of the Spring Festival Gala said that he likes to play mahjong, which was a big departure.
Normally the host of Yangma would never talk about this on stage. However, this year Han Zhou is the director. It is not Han Zhou who has the final say what the host says. It is Han Zhou as expected.
Guyu: "Of course, then let me ask you, what do we Chinese generally wish each other when we meet during the Spring Festival?"
Lan Heyun: "Happy New Year?"
Guyu: "How is that possible? Don't we always say 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' when we meet!"
Lan Heyun hesitated: "Then... I'm so embarrassed. I'm embarrassed to speak. Since you've said it all, then I wish you good luck and bring me the red envelope."
The audience roared with laughter.
Lan Heyun: "Don't laugh, I learned it from director Han Zhou."
Guyu: "Look at my clothes, do they look like they can carry red envelopes?"
"An old friend wants to send red envelopes to everyone, so be prepared."
The audience all knew that this must be a line-up, and the following song must be about wishing you good luck and prosperity.
Lan Heyun continued: "This year Yinlang has prepared 600 million red envelopes for everyone. Grab the red envelopes while watching the show!"
Many viewers despised it and used the lines they had just learned: Han Zhou, Han Zhou, I didn’t expect you, a thick-browed person, to insert such a harsh advertisement!
At this time, Lin Xiaoxing had already appeared on the stage, and the sound of music could already be heard.
Song information is also given on the screen.
"May you be happy and prosperous"
Lyrics, music and arrangement: Han Zhou
Vocals: Lin Xiaoxing
Backing Dancer: Yanjing Dance Art Troupe
"I congratulate you on getting rich
I congratulate you on your wonderful
The best please come
If it's not good, please go away
Oh, it’s not surprising that there are so many people!”
This song didn't surprise many people.
It's very direct, and I wish you good luck and good fortune.
Really pleasing.
Everyone enjoys listening to it.
"I wish all the girls in the world
marry a good boy
The two little mouths are always together
I wish all the children in the world
Smarter than a scholar
IQ fills your head
I wish my dear aunt
Thirty-six lap race
Out of breath, face unchanged
I wish my third uncle good business
Business became famous all over the world
Have good fortune and live in a mansion!”
This song is the first song program that Han Zhou put out after studying it for a long time.
What can't you do for the sake of ratings?
The current ratings of the Spring Festival Gala in the South are pitifully low.
All the words were released and Lin Xiaoxing was allowed to take the stage. Lin Xiaoxing at least represents a hometown person with an audience of about 150 million in Cantonese. Everyone should listen to it to save their face.
And this song is precisely written according to the language habits of the Cantonese-speaking area. Although it is a Mandarin song, every sentence is actually written in Mandarin in Cantonese.
Many viewers in front of the TV now sound a little different.
In previous years, the Spring Festival Gala paid too much attention to the north, both in language programs and music, so that southern audiences were indifferent to the program.
Originally, northern audiences were criticizing the Spring Festival Gala as ugly. Southern audiences not only found it ugly, but also felt that it was out of touch with their own lives.
Audiences in the north scolded them while watching.
The southern audience didn't even look at it, they directly scolded it, and they knew that they would not be wrong.
But as this song is the first song, everyone is a little surprised.
Because this is so un-Northern.
This kind of deliberate flattery may not necessarily be very effective, but it is still effective.
Many people who were about to turn off the TV didn't turn off the TV when they heard it was so festive.
Anyway, playing mahjong with the TV on won't affect anything.
The whole south is full of mahjong players.
Needless to say, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are the most addicted to mahjong. Zhejiang Province is also the place with the second largest number of mahjong enthusiasts in the country.
There are also a lot of mahjong enthusiasts in the two lakes.
And here in Guangfu, many people also like mahjong.
For no other reason than to please this song, everyone has to turn on the TV.
"Swaggeringly happy to help you eliminate disasters"
Congratulations on getting rich, you should shout boldly enough
May you be happy and prosperous
I congratulate you on getting rich!"
The first time the performance was successful, Han Zhou knew that this year would be a solid one.
In the corner, Han Zhou stood up, walked to the side door, and went directly into the backstage.
Backstage, the next performer is waiting here.
Han Zhou must come and see this performer for himself.
The eleven-year-old girl Chen Yiran was still a little nervous at this time.
When Han Zhou was selecting singers for the Spring Festival Gala, the second song he considered was difficult to decide whether to perform in the Spring Festival Gala.
Because it's hard to find the right person to sing it.
Many singers who have been famous for a long time are unable to sing this song.
Even An Lan, who is talented in all aspects, can't sing this song!
This song was originally abandoned, but during the second selection, the little niece of an employee was brought to CCTV to play.
As a result, Han Zhou ran into him.
The employees thought that Director Han would curse like crazy and even lose his job as a central mother.
But he never expected that after hearing the little girl say something, Han Zhou asked the little girl to sing.
After the little girl sang a song, Han Zhou taught him how to sing the song.
This is Han Zhou's second apprentice.
The first apprentice, Zheng Xiaolong, was a reckless man who only knew martial arts, but the second apprentice was much cuter, after all, she was a girl.
Chen Yiran breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Han Zhou coming.
Han Zhou reached out and held Chen Yiran's hand: "Behave well."
Chen Yiran nodded heavily.
Executive Director: "Director Han, it's almost done."
Han Zhou patted Chen Yiran's head and straightened her hat: "Go ahead."
Wearing a small red woolen coat and a side-head hat worn only by artists, Chen Yiran ran onto the stage cutely.
Han Zhou turned around and said, "If there is a problem with the performance, immediately cut to the audience and then show the third rehearsal."
Age is definitely an uncontrollable factor.
For the first time in his life, Chen Yiran faced a formal stage with an audience, which was the Spring Festival Gala stage. This was simply the first time in his life that a young football player made his official debut and started in the World Cup finals.
It is necessary to be prepared on both sides.
Han Zhou slipped back through the door again.
This time Han Zhou reserved a seat in the first row.
Just so that Chen can still see himself while singing.
After listening to the performance and seeing the song information, the audience also saw the little girl on stage.
Everyone is confused.
Who is this kid?
Real-time webcast, many people are asking.
But no one can give the answer.
Everyone once again looked at the program introduction that had not yet dispersed.
"congratulations"
Lyrics, music and arrangement: Han Zhou
Vocals: Chen Yiran
There are no backup dancers.
Absolutely amazing!
A little kid, unknown to everyone, performed in the Spring Festival Gala and sang solo.
Even if she sings solo, it’s still a one-man show! Just her, no backup dancers!!!
crazy?!
As expected of Han Zhou!
In fact, Han Zhou also had troubles that he couldn't express.
The song "Congratulations, Congratulations" really has to be sung like this.
This song was composed when the Japanese invaders were defeated, in order to celebrate the Japanese invaders getting out of China.
The tempo of this song is very slow in every aspect.
There is a feeling that everyone is dead.
Yes, this is the feeling. After the disaster, many people are gone. Although I am congratulating you, it is actually a song of mourning.
It is an apology to those who survived. I am sorry that only everyone survived, but many people have gone away.
However, anyone who is a fan of the past life knows that "Gong Xi Gong Xi" is a New Year's greeting song.
When did this change come?
Back in the 1960s, the singing queen Deng Tianhou sang a cover of "Gong Xi Gong Xi".
Did Queen Deng change this song?
No, that was the only time in Deng Tianhou's life that she sang a bad song.
Of course, this was a failed performance under high standards and strict requirements, but this version was still a hit.
But this song was put on an album called Christmas by Queen Deng, and there is no doubt that it was a hit.
It wasn't until the 1990s that a little girl sang this song, which sped up the tempo and made the song popular all over the country overnight, becoming the designated song for the Spring Festival.
This talented little girl is Yi Ting.
In the 80-year history of Chinese music, that little girl was the only one who had a chance to challenge Deng Tianhou, but she quit the music scene because of illness.
When this version came out, it changed the entire Chinese music world in an instant.
Let the flavor of the Spring Festival continue to rise.
Many famous singers have covered this version.
Sorry, whoever sings it will get smashed.
Even if the adult Yiting came back after being ill and sang by herself, it was thought that the agency had found a look-alike to pretend to be Yiting, and fans stubbornly believed that Yiting was dead.
And "Congratulations, Congratulations" is wrong, and this is proof!
However, the fact is that this song "Congratulations, Congratulations" can only be sung by little girls above the age of ten but below the age of sixteen.
Otherwise, no matter who it is, the sadness of the original song will be exposed.
It is the unforgettable hatred, the memory of family members who died in the war, the sorrow of the devastated surrounding environment, and the desolation of the empty streets and alleys.
If it could be dissipated by just changing the rhythm, it wouldn't be a classic anti-war song!
Only when a young girl uses her own voice characteristics to overcome the sadness and coolness, can it be a Spring Festival celebration song!
Therefore, even if An Lan, who has excellent singing skills and talents, sang this song, Han Zhou was not satisfied.
Until I met Chen Yiran.
Chen Yiran was very cute on the stage. Before he started singing, there were many middle-aged women and middle-aged comrades in front of the TV.
"Every street and alley
in everyone's mouth
first words when meeting
Just congratulations!"
Festive, cheerful, youthful, and full of spring!
After Yi Ting's song, the music world had to wait forty years for "The Story of Young China" to gain a second hint of youthfulness.
But in this world, Young Huaguo came out first, and "Congratulations" waited until today.
If this song were sung by an adult, starting from this section would make people's heads tingle and their minds explode.
Only a little female voice like Chen Yiran can make the audience only feel the literal meaning.
Spring returns to the earth and winter snow melts. Isn’t it the first day of spring?
Many spectators at the scene applauded wildly.
In front of the TV, many people were also stunned.
This song "Gong Xi Gong Xi" has more than ten times the flavor of the new year than Lin Xiaoxing's song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" just now.
Many people have realized that this Spring Festival, instead of someone saying "congratulations, congratulations, congratulations" in the streets and alleys, everyone is saying "congratulations, congratulations!"
It’s hard for fans in this world to imagine the circumstances under which this song was written.
However, when they go to the KTV to sing, they will definitely find something wrong with the song.
If someone asks yourself, then honestly admit that you wrote a song to commemorate the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and cheer for the surrender of the little Japanese.
At this time, many entertainment company bosses who were watching the Spring Festival Gala told their subordinates: "In three minutes, I want all the information about this girl!"
No matter what, Han Zhou has already signed Chen Yiran.
Moreover, Han Zhou had thought about it in order to avoid a tragedy like Yi Ting's.
The first thing is to let Chen Yiran grow up healthy and strong, and not to let her get too hot.
Once the anger goes too far, it is not easy to become angry again as an adult.
Han Zhou will let her study instead of making money by acting in commercials.
I won't let her attend too many parties.
Maximum of one song per year.
It wasn't until she came of age that this apprentice was considered a disciple.
Han Zhou turned around to see the audience's reaction.
It was so full of smiles that everyone laughed.
Many people can tell from their body movements that they are very happy, not fake smiles.
At this time, at a certain table, the little bald Zheng Xiaolong winked at Han Zhou.
Zheng Jianjun smiled happily like everyone else.
Han Zhou looked at Zheng Xiaolong, his face darkened, and he said silently: "Look at you, then look at your junior sister."
Zheng Xiaolong immediately felt like an eggplant beaten by frost.
This guy, even though it was Chinese New Year, he still couldn't help but criticize him.
After the stubborn Dang Zhan Zhao became famous, he showed off how famous he was in the company every day.
Although these behaviors are quite pleasing to the child, everyone also likes to see him look triumphant.
But Han Zhou became very angry when he saw his lack of humility.
"When the next part of the movie starts filming, let him play my role as a young boy and let him be taught a lesson!"
Han Zhou's current plan is to shoot "I'm Not the God of Medicine" in the second half of the year, but in the first half of the year he will shoot a movie about traditional culture. In this movie, Han Zhou's character's youth was very miserable.
After spraying, Han Zhou sighed.
Hey, how old am I? It’s been a year, but I’m still only twenty-six, and I already have the mentality of a middle-aged person.
They all discipline their children just like their parents...
Looking back, Chen Yiran on the stage had finished singing. He held his red woolen coat, raised his left foot obediently, leaned down, tilted his head, smiled happily, and peeked at Han Zhou.
.
Han Zhou raised his hands and applauded.
Then he signaled that the camera could cut to the host.
When the camera turned off, Han Zhou immediately stood up and went from the small door to the backstage to greet Chen Yiran.
Chen Yiwu's uncle, Chen Aiwu, the skit director of the Spring Festival Gala preparation team, was still there giggling. Han Zhou said, "Why don't you go and take a look at the skit you are responsible for?"
Chen Aiwuzi slipped away and ran away.
Chen Yiran’s parents came over to greet him.
Han Zhou smiled as he watched Chen Yiran step down.
Chen Yiran jumped up and down as soon as he came out: "Master, can I sing well?"
Han Zhou smiled and said: "Okay, very good."
Then he raised his head and said, "Take Yi Yi back. I'll call you when class starts in a while."
Chen Yiran's mother: "You have a movie coming out tomorrow, would you like to let Yiran perform..."
Han Zhou shook his head: "No, remember, you don't accept any performances for Yi Yi. Sister Hong will inform you of everything Yi Yi has to do later."
Chen Yiran’s father: “Yiran, say Happy New Year to Master!”
Chen Yiran: "Master, master, I wish you good luck and bring me the red envelope!"
Han Zhou took out a thick red envelope from his bag and handed it to Chen Yiran, then touched her little head and said, "Good boy, go home."
Not far away, Chen Feng, who was putting on makeup, looked at his six-dollar red envelope, and then at Chen Yiran's one-centimetre-thick red envelope, subway, mobile phone, old man's face/jpg.
Chen Yiran had finished his performance, so there was no need for Han Zhou to sit in front.
Han Zhou will now focus on his first martial arts program.
Once these two songs come out, it will definitely be full of joy.
Coupled with the perfect performance of "Protagonist and Supporting Actor", it has attracted many audiences.
And what comes next is a lively, masculine show.
At this time, the program has already begun.
Wu Li took the stage with a group of young warriors.
————
Asking for a monthly ticket!!!
I don’t know how many people still remember Yi Ting and this version of "Congratulations."
Wish you all a happy new year, may you get rich, and bring you the red envelopes!!!
