Chapter 451: Taking over as director of the Spring Festival Gala
In the capital, when Xu Ji saw Duan Suxin, he realized that the other party was indeed seriously injured.
The person's right leg was hung in a plaster, and the person was lying on the hospital bed, unable to move.
"Director Xu, I may not be able to get up to welcome you like this."
Duan Suxin said with a smile.
Xu Ji waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
The two of them are actually acquaintances, so naturally they won't be too outspoken.
While chatting with the other party, he watched Duan Suxin finish his lunch, and at the same time, he packed the lunch box and handed it to the assistant.
Duan Suxin has an assistant who takes care of her.
However, it seems that Duan Suxin is not very used to being served too meticulously.
So except for the assistant's support when she got up to eat, Duan Suxin tried her best to solve the problem by herself most of the time.
Speaking of Duan Shengyu's relationship, in fact, Duan Suxin's family background is definitely not bad.
But because Duan Shengyu was born in the military, he naturally would not let Duan Suxin be pampered since childhood.
Although it is said that daughters should be well-off, Duan Suxin is obviously an exception.
The other person gave Xu Ji the feeling that he looked like a man in terms of personality.
Of course, the impact of this is that Duan Suxin is already in her thirties and almost forties and is still single.
...
"Director Xu, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a while. I will introduce the current situation to you directly."
Duan Suxin said after eating.
In fact, when she was busy on weekdays, she would even forget to eat.
But this time, in addition to the comminuted fracture of her leg, the doctor also said that there were also problems with some of her other physical indicators.
Especially emphasize that she should eat on time.
When you have stomach problems, if you eat irregularly, it will definitely make the disease worse.
Therefore, Duan Suxin could not wait to tell Xu Ji about the Spring Festival Gala.
But I still followed the doctor's orders and had lunch first.
"Actually, even if I'm not injured, I guess I'll still have to contact you after a while."
Duan Suxin asked Xu Ji for help, and naturally she would not hide it. At this time, she could say her true thoughts in her heart.
"The main reason is that last year's Spring Festival Gala was so effective, and the ratings were the highest in recent years."
"It's mainly due to the programs you planned before."
"For example, "Protagonist and Supporting Actor" and "Selling Kidnappings", their reputations are quite high."
"So if I want to continue to maintain the reputation of last year's Spring Festival Gala, I can only think of you, Director Xu."
...
After hearing what Duan Suxin said, Xu Ji was actually not a special exception.
Naturally, he had heard about last year's Spring Festival Gala data.
And even if you don't know the real data, you can tell by just looking at the popularity of discussions online at that time that the ratings are definitely not low.
As for word-of-mouth, the several programs Xu Ji gave to Duan Suxin at that time can be regarded as classics in the previous life, so it is expected that they will have good word-of-mouth.
In fact, if Duan Suxin really wanted to ask him to help plan the Spring Festival Gala program, Xu Ji would not refuse.
After all, it doesn't take much time for him to write a sketch script or something.
The only thing Xu Ji didn't expect was that Duan Suxin would be injured.
They also directly planned to let him be in charge of this Spring Festival Gala.
"Actually, I have been in charge of the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years, and I originally wanted to refuse."
"However, the ratings and reputation of last year's Spring Festival Gala were explosive, which led to high audience expectations for this year's Spring Festival Gala. Now among the official directors, no one wants to take it."
"So the superiors simply continued to let me take charge."
“I didn’t expect that I would become a Spring Festival Gala professional.”
Duan Suxin showed a helpless smile with a bit of self-deprecation.
She was also the director of various official galas at the beginning, and her biggest goal was to have the opportunity to be in charge of the Spring Festival Gala.
After all, this is the biggest official party.
Not only the official ones, but also some other galas, local satellite TV or private companies, etc., the scale and attention cannot be compared with the Spring Festival Gala.
But what she never thought was that she would indeed become the director of the Spring Festival Gala.
He even took charge of the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years.
It's even now the fourth year.
Under such circumstances, even Duan Suxin felt a little bored.
The main reason is that the Spring Festival Gala itself consumes too much energy.
This is true for the artists participating in the Spring Festival Gala, and it is also true for her as a director.
...
“Has the program for this year’s Spring Festival Gala been confirmed?”
Xu Ji also asked at this time.
Now that he has decided to take charge of this Spring Festival Gala, Xu Ji can't just go through with it.
Duan Suxin's current condition is that even if she can get out of bed, she will probably remain in a wheelchair.
Xu Ji must still be responsible for most of the work.
Duan Suxin shook his head.
"not yet."
"But the announcement has been sent out, and the selection for the Spring Festival Gala program is expected to start in two days."
Xu Ji felt a little relieved after hearing this.
From this perspective, the progress of this year’s Spring Festival Gala is relatively normal.
There is no need to rush.
Of course, in fact, according to the previous life, the preparation time for the Spring Festival Gala will be longer.
But this Spring Festival Gala itself has high ratings and will be quite attractive to most artists in the entertainment industry.
In order to prevent some artists from secretly stealing relationships, the officials will decide on the director more than two months before the Spring Festival Gala.
Selection requires the entire process to be recorded. Although the director has the absolute right to choose, he cannot make a decision without completely considering the quality of the program itself.
"But I feel like the program auditions won't go too smoothly."
"The problem with the program is still the most important."
Duan Suxin said.
Her previous experience told her that it was not easy to find a satisfactory program during the Spring Festival Gala program auditions.
Even many of the programs are actually carefully prepared by the artists for a long time.
But in Duan Suxin's opinion, the quality is just that.
Of course, this is also due to her own relatively high standards.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If it were another official director, it would mainly be to complete the task.
As for the quality of the program, as long as it is passable, we won't be so strict.
Not to mention someone like Duan Suxin who is a naughty mother.
...
"I can take care of the show."
"only......"
"If I were the director of the Spring Festival Gala..."
Xu Ji said hesitantly.
The Spring Festival Gala program is indeed not too difficult in Xu Ji's opinion.
As long as Xu Ji is not afraid of getting tired, if he is willing, it won't be a big problem to cover the entire Spring Festival Gala program.
But you definitely can't do that.
A very large party like the Spring Festival Gala attracts a lot of people.
If you are not careful, you can easily be criticized.
As if seeing Xu Ji's thoughts, Duan Suxin said directly:
"Don't worry about those things."
"As long as the quality of the program is excellent, even if others want to find fault, they can't."
Duan Suxin used so many programs in a row last year.
Even singers from Tongji Entertainment attended the Spring Festival Gala together.
There will definitely be some bad sounds.
But Duan Suxin didn't pay too much attention at all.
After all, although her relationship with Xu Ji was indeed better, she still chose based on the quality of the program.
So I have a clear conscience.
This time it was Xu Ji who became the director, and she still had the same attitude.
As for being used as a handle because of this, Duan Suxin thinks that there is a high probability that such a thing will not happen.
After all, Xu Ji's own reputation and abilities have long been recognized by the public.
What's more important is that the Spring Festival Gala is an official party, and because of Xu Ji's relationship with her and Duan Shengyu, others don't dare to confront Xu Ji openly.
...
After confirming the schedule for the upcoming Spring Festival Gala, Xu Ji settled in the capital.
Although it is still a hotel, this time it is officially arranged by the Spring Festival Gala.
This is a long-term stay, so the size of the room is much better than when I was an artist.
Of course, Xu Ji also knows that there is a high probability that he will spend most of the time in the Spring Festival Gala recording venue.
In addition to the program, there are also a lot of messy things.
He regretted not bringing some people over from Tongji's crew.
At least the other party is familiar with his working mode.
No need to break in anymore.
Fortunately, the program team of the Spring Festival Gala are all members of Duan Suxin. With Duan Suxin's help, there shouldn't be too much trouble.
...
In the next few days, with the announcement on the official Weibo of the Spring Festival Gala, the news that Xu Ji became the director of this year's Spring Festival Gala gradually spread.
And it successfully ranked first in the hot search.
"Ah? Xu Ji has become the director of the Spring Festival Gala. Isn't this news too explosive?"
"Didn't you read the news that Xu Ji was filming on the set? Why did he suddenly go to be in charge of the Spring Festival Gala?"
"Last year Xu Ji's name appeared on a bunch of programs, this year he simply became a director!"
"Actually, there is a difference between a party director and a movie director. If it were another director, I might be worried, but Xu Ji should be fine. This guy feels like there is nothing he can't do."
Originally, the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala should not be high now.
At the very least, we need to wait until half a month later, after the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals begin, before various news will gradually come to light.
Then the heat started to soar.
But because Xu Ji's name was involved, this year's Spring Festival Gala attracted a lot of attention from netizens in advance.
The main reason is that Xu Ji’s name is unexpectedly popular.
If it were replaced by some other director, even a super first-line director, he would be in charge.
I guess it may only be trending a little bit, but it will definitely not reach the top of the trend list in a short period of time and attract so many people’s discussions.
Of course, everyone has different attitudes towards Xu Jilai being in charge of the Spring Festival Gala.
But most netizens still expressed their expectation.
After all, the 10th anniversary party of Station G that Xu Ji was responsible for had a pretty good reputation.
...
News of a director change for the Spring Festival Gala came out. Although Duan Suxin, who had a high reputation before, was injured, he became the deputy director.
But because Xu Ji took over, no one was too worried.
But in addition to the impact on netizens, the entertainment industry was also shocked by this incident.
Of course, unlike many viewers, artists in the entertainment industry were all worried at this time.
For example, among a group of artists from Smallpox Entertainment.
Everyone in this group has signed up to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala auditions.
Many of them are first-line artists, and there are even two divas.
"No, what do the officials think? Let Xu Ji be in charge of the Spring Festival Gala. Then won't everyone be from Tongji Entertainment?"
The moment the news came out, a second-tier artist in the group spoke directly.
This statement was echoed by several other second-tier artists.
"That's right, I think we should avoid suspicion and not let people from Tongji Entertainment participate in the Spring Festival Gala auditions."
"What's the difference between this and an unofficial decision? We don't feel like we need to prepare!"
...
This discussion lasted for a while, and then a few people discovered that only a few of them, young second-tier artists, were talking here, and everyone else in the group remained silent in tacit agreement.
Not to mention A-listers and divas, even some with slightly more seniority suddenly fell silent.
Originally, the atmosphere in the group was quite good. When the younger generation asked questions, some people actively answered them.
So this situation left several people a little confused.
"Of course, I'm worried for the other seniors in the company. After all, we young people don't have much chance of passing the Spring Festival Gala auditions."
A second-tier artist suddenly started talking.
She is considered a newcomer who just debuted this year. With the resources of the talent show and Smallpox Entertainment, she was promoted to the second tier in less than a year after her debut.
Such a starting point is indeed enviable to many people.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that even some old people in the company would not deliberately offend a promising newcomer like her.
But this time, her somewhat low emotional intelligence speech finally angered a certain A-list singer in the group.
I saw the other party typing directly and said:
"Just worry about yourself, don't worry about us!"
"Also, don't you think that if Xu Ji wants his company's artists to attend the Spring Festival Gala, he needs to use his director's privileges, right?"
"If someone writes a new song casually, there is a high probability that there will be no suspense."
"Go and take a look at the most popular programs on last year's Spring Festival Gala. Let's tell who created them!"
"Besides, people from Tongji Entertainment have also been to the Spring Festival Gala. According to their company's corporate culture, whether they want to go or not is a question."
"Do you think the audience would rather see your show, or the show from Tongji Entertainment such as Xu Ji, Sha Yetong, Scream Band, and Li Fenghua?"
"Let me remind you, when the audition comes, be careful when you speak, Xu Ji is very vindictive."
...
When this sentence of several hundred words was sent out, the group suddenly fell into a rare silence.
The newcomers who had been wondering why no one discussed this topic suddenly understood.
They have only entered the entertainment industry for a short time. Although they have heard some legends about Tongji Entertainment, they have never experienced it personally.
For the resources that we usually compete for, we may encounter artists from the other two major three majors, but basically we will not see anyone from Tongji Entertainment.
At this time, this first-line singer in the group finally gave them a clear understanding of how special Tongji Entertainment is in the entertainment industry.
