Chapter 457 Director Xu Jis Spring Festival Gala Arrives
As the Spring Festival approaches, the weather during this period is getting colder and colder.
At this time, at the Beijing Spring Festival Gala venue, this year's Spring Festival Gala rehearsal has reached the second full rehearsal stage.
Xu Ji originally planned to appear on the show, and even prepared the program in advance.
But because he is a director, it is still too troublesome to withdraw.
In the end, I could only give up such ideas and concentrate on my work as a director.
However, Tongji Entertainment, which has never advocated overtime work, this time it is considered a collective overtime work.
Most people in the company in Chengdu have already gone on holiday, but Pang Er, the director of "Detective Chinatown" and some of the main creators of the Spring Festival film will definitely have to work overtime.
As for the Spring Festival Gala, the artists participating in the Spring Festival Gala this time also have no holidays.
But Xu Ji basically doesn’t have to worry about the artists of Tongji Entertainment.
People like Sha Yetong and the Screaming Band basically performed the most consistently during rehearsals.
...
"Director Duan, I feel that this Spring Festival Gala went much more smoothly than expected."
The assistant director walked up to Duan Suxin, who was in a wheelchair, and said.
In fact, Duan Suxin was injured, including asking Xu Ji to take responsibility, which was a helpless move.
Although they did not doubt Xu Ji's ability, after all, this was his first time as a Spring Festival Gala director.
There will definitely still be deficiencies in all aspects of experience.
But to the surprise of the entire Spring Festival Gala program team, everything went very smoothly after Xu Ji became the director of the Spring Festival Gala.
From the audition to the subsequent rehearsal process, the efficiency is frighteningly high.
Even if Duan Suxin is the director in charge of the Spring Festival Gala, it is estimated that the first round of rehearsals has only begun.
But Xu Ji drastically cut off most of the time required for auditions, and the requirements and choices for the program were determined directly from the beginning.
What follows is often like riding a rocket.
On the contrary, the staff of the program team are somewhat uncomfortable with such an efficient way of working.
"Although I am a little surprised, if it is Xu Ji, it seems to be quite normal."
Duan Suxin replied calmly.
She originally thought that Xu Jiyou didn't understand something and needed her help.
But when she came to the scene in a wheelchair, she realized that she didn't seem to be needed at all.
Xu Ji can handle everything in an orderly manner by himself.
The most she can do is give some reference advice.
Can't be of much help.
However, Duan Suxin is also happy to see this situation.
At least she doesn't have to worry anymore.
I can completely rest assured that Xu Ji will be responsible for this Spring Festival Gala.
"I'm going to go home to recuperate in two days."
Duan Suxin suddenly said.
The assistant director was also a little stunned.
"You have to let me take a good vacation, right?"
"I was worried before, but now I can listen to the doctor's advice and recover with peace of mind."
Duan Suxin said with a smile.
The assistant director hesitated for a while, but still felt that there was nothing wrong with Duan Suxin's idea.
Originally, he had been the opponent's deputy for many years, so he was a little worried about Duan Suxin's leg injury.
It is also clear that Duan Suxin has to stay here in a wheelchair because she is worried about problems at this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Facts now prove that Xu Ji is completely qualified for this job. Even though he doesn't want to mention it, Xu Ji may actually do it better than Duan Suxin.
But it would be best to let Duan Suxin go back to recuperate.
"It's just hard work for you, but you will still be busy for a while."
Duan Suxin said with a smile.
There was a feeling of relief in his expression.
...
Time passed quickly, and New Year's Eve arrived in a blink of an eye.
As the G station up owner, Sang Shaolong also entered vacation mode early this time and returned to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.
Mainly because of the emergence of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the entire film and television market has seemed a bit lackluster in the past month or so.
There is basically no new drama that he feels is worthy of being made into a video.
In addition, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so new dramas generally will not be aired online during this time period.
Sang Shaolong doesn't have much video inspiration, so he can only wait for the movie to be released during the Spring Festival.
However, because Xu Ji suddenly announced that he would be the director of this year's Spring Festival Gala, Sang Shaolong became interested in this year's Spring Festival Gala.
In the previous Spring Festival Gala, some of the relatively high-quality programs were basically related to Xu Ji.
In addition to some songs that became popular overnight, Xu Ji even worked as a screenwriter for sketches.
It seems that there is no one who can't do it.
Originally, as a film critic, I would specifically comment on the soundtracks of some movies.
Sang Shaolong really doesn't like to take the initiative to pay attention to some singers in the Chinese music scene.
However, the appearance of Xu Ji made Sang Shaolong change this habit.
Mainly because of Xu Ji's multiple identities.
Others are on the hot search list, and most of them are either because of various gossips or rumors, or because of their own works.
There are indeed too many ways for Xu Ji to get on the hot searches.
New movies are released, new dramas are released, new songs written are released.
There are even people like this time who suddenly became the director of the Spring Festival Gala.
There are indeed a lot of stars in film, television and singing.
But like Xu Ji, he is indeed the only one who has achieved so many achievements in all aspects, and his identity is more than just the so-called Sanqi.
...
"There is no need to watch this Spring Festival Gala, and it is not interesting to watch."
Sang Shaolong was a little surprised when he heard his father's words.
"Didn't you praise that skit last year as being funny?"
"Why do I feel like I don't want to watch it now?"
After hearing Sang Shaolong's words, his mother answered for him:
"What your dad means is that there are three of us in our house every Chinese New Year. It's too deserted."
"Son, it would be great if you could bring a girlfriend back for the New Year sometime..."
Well, after hearing this first sentence, Sang Shaolong regretted asking this question.
After graduating, I became a full-time host, and then gradually gained a large number of fans with Xu Ji's "The Best of Us".
Up to now, Sang Shaolong is already the film and television up owner with the largest number of fans in the entire G station.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But it must be said that due to the nature of work, Sang Shaolong is still single so far.
Seeing that he was about to enter his third year of life, his parents, who were initially concerned about his career, now began to urge him to get married.
In this regard, Sang Shaolong could only pretend not to hear.
"Mom and Dad, if there's nothing you can do to help me, I'll go back to my room first."
“Call me during the New Year’s Eve dinner!”
...
Although the Spring Festival Gala has not started yet, most families are cooking New Year's Eve dinner.
But at this time, the Internet has already begun to discuss this year's Spring Festival Gala program.
"With Xu Ji as director, this year's program will definitely be exciting. I'm already looking forward to it!"
"It's a pity. I feel like Xu Ji has avoided suspicion. Kong Cheng and Yu Feifei from Tongji Entertainment didn't even participate. Even Li Fenghua, who was just promoted to the King of Songs last year, doesn't have a name."
"But fortunately, what I'm most looking forward to this time is the sketch "Selling Cars". It looks like the original teacher Zhao Renguang and the others are still there. It won't be the sequel to "Selling Cars", right?"
...
Most of the online discussions focused on the newly exposed Spring Festival Gala program.
Many people think that Xu Ji, as a director, should also have a program this time.
In particular, some of Tongji’s CP members are very much looking forward to Xu Ji and Sha Yetong singing together at the Spring Festival Gala again.
But what makes everyone a little disappointed is that Sha Yetong did participate in the Spring Festival Gala, but only Sha Yetong was on the list of singers above.
However, music critics like Xiong Lu focus on the song itself.
Xiong Lu also discovered that the number of new songs in this year’s Spring Festival Gala has increased a lot.
This was within his expectation. After all, Xu Ji, as the director of the Spring Festival Gala and a master of songwriters and songwriters, would be unreasonable if he didn't come up with more original new songs.
Moreover, Xu Ji's new songs will most likely not be perfunctory like some other songwriters.
It is also normal to maintain quality and quantity.
It is estimated that after this year’s Spring Festival Gala, quite a few new songs will appear on the new song charts on the two major music platforms.
...
As time went by, it was finally time for the Spring Festival Gala to begin.
It was still the official and familiar hosts who came on stage and started talking about the opening remarks.
Most viewers still watch live TV with their families.
Of course, some people who cannot go home to celebrate the New Year will choose to watch the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast on their computers.
With the barrage filling the screen, it can also reduce some of the loneliness of celebrating the New Year alone.
"Several sketches I'm looking forward to have been put in the back. It's so hard to wait!"
"I also feel that singing and dancing programs are so boring."
"I'm really looking forward to the song and dance program. There are so many new songs this year, and I feel like many of them will be written by Xu Ji."
With the discussion on the barrage and several hosts finishing their opening remarks, the first program finally started.
They are four popular first-line singers who are also actors.
Nowadays, there are a lot of artists developing in many fields. The four of them don't have many masterpieces, but their popularity in front of the public is still quite high.
Program information appeared on the screen.
""Love each other""
"Singer: Shen Man, Gan Mengqing, Rao Chunian, Min Ruo"
"Composer: Xu Ji"
"Lyrics written by: Xu Ji"
...
Xiong Lu was a little surprised when he saw Xu Ji's name on the lyrics and music.
She didn't expect that the first program to come on would be Xu Ji's original song.
However, these four singers, who have no well-known masterpieces and are somewhat of a variety show star, are actually a little worried.
After all, Xiong Lu always felt that Xu Ji's songs should not be sung casually by others.
Otherwise, if you are not careful, your work will be ruined.
With this thought in mind, the four people on the stage also started their own singing.
"Everyone in the world loves each other, and even though they are thousands of miles away, their hearts become one."
"Tonight when thousands of houses are lit up, maybe you can look through the window at the beautiful scene in your dreams."
...
As soon as the four people's chorus started, Xiong Lu immediately realized that he was worrying too much.
After all, it's the Spring Festival Gala, not actually releasing an album or participating in some music variety shows.
Songs that fit the theme are the most important.
The style of this song is obviously something that Xu Ji has not written much before.
The type of family carnival is very consistent with the atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala.
Coupled with the scenes of singing and dancing on the stage, the singer's own performance is actually not that demanding.
"Everyone in the world loves each other, and even though they are thousands of miles away, their hearts become one."
"Tonight when thousands of houses are lit up, maybe you can look through the window at the beautiful scene in your dreams."
...
The melody and lyrics of the entire song are not complicated.
It even seemed very straightforward.
But as an opening performance, it needs such an effect.
Xiong Lu had always felt that Xu Ji was in charge of the Spring Festival Gala and the songs he wrote would definitely surprise people.
But now she remembered that she seemed to have overlooked Xu Ji's other identity, that is, the director of the Spring Festival Gala.
Such songs that better fit the theme and can enhance the atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala are definitely indispensable.
Although some viewers of the barrage were obviously not satisfied with the song at this time.
But Xiong Lu actually thought it was pretty good.
Some songs themselves are not usually listened to, but on special occasions, they cannot be played without.
This is not any other performance or concert, but the Spring Festival Gala.
Xu Ji's behavior actually made the other party appear professional.
Moreover, it is not easy to compose this kind of song, and only Xu Ji can switch between various styles so easily.
This song is definitely one of the best among similar songs.
...
Then came some opening song programs.
It still maintains a fairly high standard.
Of course, Xu Ji did not appear in the cast and crew list this time.
After all, there are so many programs in the Spring Festival Gala, and Xu Ji cannot participate in every one of them.
Most of the programs that passed the auditions were actually prepared by the artists themselves.
Xu Ji is just responsible for the selection.
Of course, if the quality of these programs can stand out among so many people, it will definitely not be low.
"Next, we invite singers Yu Li, Xu Yan, and Wang Yuhong to perform the song "Love"!"
Xiong Lu had read the program list in advance. In fact, she didn't have much impression of these three young singers who had just debuted.
Of course, when I saw the three people walking on the stage, I couldn't help but take a second look.
After all, Xiong Lu, a young singer with a youthful look and good looks, still has no ability to resist.
However, when she saw Xu Ji's name appearing in the column of lyrics and music, Xiong Lu immediately cheered up again.
The three of them stood side by side and started humming at the same time.
The prelude was accompanied by the unified humming of the three people, which immediately made Xiong Lu feel bright.
The style of this song seems quite interesting.
"String your heart with mine"
"String a lucky clover into a concentric circle"
...
The three of them sang and danced with gestures.
At this time, many viewers on the barrage were already excited.
"Isn't this combination too juvenile?"
"It has to be Xu Ji who knows what our audience likes to watch!"
"The song is nice, and the three younger brothers are also very handsome."
Although Xiong Lu was listening to the song seriously at this time, it was still inevitable to see comments from other people.
Although she didn't follow suit, she had to admit that the combination of these three people was indeed too lethal for female audiences.
"Call loudly to the sky and say I love you"
"Say to those wandering white clouds that I miss you"
As the chorus sounded, Xiong Lu was basically certain.
After this year's Spring Festival Gala, these three young singers are likely to become popular overnight.
