"Shaolin Temple Wushu Team, you have two more shows, come here and prepare!" CCTV's Spring Festival Gala rehearsal director shouted over here.
The leader of the group of "little monks" was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He immediately gave an order: "Hurry up and finish the meal. The rehearsal is about to begin."
The group of bald boys were very obedient and immediately picked up the lunch boxes quickly.
Kang Jianfei suggested: "You guys should pay attention to your diet and exercise routine. Performing martial arts right after eating is very bad for gastrointestinal digestion."
The man who led the team didn't know Kang Jianfei at all, and he felt quite unhappy when he heard that he had made such accusations when they first met him. He asked Hu Juncai, "Mr. Hu, is this comrade your friend?"
Hu Juncai introduced with a smile: "A Fei, this is Teacher Zhang Jinyang, the cultural teacher of the martial arts school, and the leader of the martial arts performance team for this Spring Festival Gala." After saying that, Hu Juncai pulled Zhang Jinyang affectionately and introduced, "Teacher Zhang
, this is Boss Kang Jianfei Kang, the real boss of Shaolin Temple Martial Arts School."
"Boss Kang?" Zhang Jinyang immediately lost his temper upon hearing this, and quickly explained, "Boss Kang, it's not that I don't pay attention to the team members' eating habits, it's a problem with the logistics arrangements of the Spring Festival Gala program team. The food of so many rehearsal staff must be taken care of
, they didn’t make any arrangements beforehand, so they divided the lunch into three meals…”
"I understand, you don't need to explain." Kang Jianfei said and looked above the stage, not optimistic about this Spring Festival Gala.
Although Kang Jianfei has never directed a large-scale party, as a director, he is very sensitive to lighting. The stage set up in the Workers' Gymnasium is very large and empty, and today's live broadcast images are not clear. The brightness of the lights at the scene is completely
If it is not enough, the audience in front of the TV will definitely see a dirty picture.
Not only that, today was the last rehearsal. The on-site scheduling was still in chaos, and even the actors’ lunches were not prepared at once.
It can only be said that the chief director of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala has no experience in doing large-scale live broadcasts. Previous Spring Festival Galas were all recorded and broadcast in advance. It is inevitable that the first time to do a live broadcast will be too much.
Kang Jianfei's eyes swept around the stage and suddenly saw Chen Xiuwen sitting in the audience drinking mineral water. Next to him were TVB's Wang Mingquan, Luo Wen and others.
"I'll go there first." Kang Jianfei nodded to Hu Juncai.
Hu Juncai smiled and said: "Let's go there together, I was also a fan of Sister Wang back then."
After the two people left, teacher Zhang Jinyang said to himself: "Kang Jianfei? This name sounds so familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere."
Before Kang Jianfei walked over and said anything, the Phoenix TV staff who had come to the capital with Chen Xiuwen stood up to greet him and said in surprise: "Dr. Kang, why are you here?"
"I stopped by to take a look, you can do whatever you want." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.
CCTV wants to make this year's Spring Festival Gala a big event. The hosts are from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China, and the program performances are also from the three places across the Taiwan Strait. It has the implication that the Chinese League members are a family. Huang Yihe, the general director of the Spring Festival Gala, originally wanted to invite Teresa Teng,
President Xu Jiasheng of Xinhua News Agency’s Hong Kong Branch personally invited him. Unfortunately, the trip failed to take place in the end.
Due to that special reason, several Taiwanese programs originally prepared had to be abandoned, and one of the planners of the Spring Festival Gala, Huang Ayuan, a famous Taiwanese TV personality, had to be interspersed with several lottery and game programs during the Spring Festival Gala.
After the Taiwanese program vacancy became available, it was natural for Hong Kong programs to fill it. Wireless TVB sent Wang Mingquan, Luo Wen, Banban, Xi Xiulan and other stars to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. Phoenix Channel knew that it could not show weakness, and finally decided to let Chen Xiuwen and Mok Shaocong.
, He Jiajin and Ye Zhentang came to the Spring Festival Gala.
In addition, Zhang Mingmin, who became popular all over the country with his song "My Chinese Heart" last year, will continue to participate in performances this year. There will be nearly 10 performers from Hong Kong during the entire Spring Festival Gala.
All this is due to the success of Sino-British negotiations more than two years ago. Otherwise, wireless stations would not dare to be so arrogant about sending famous stars to the capital to perform.
"Happy New Year, Chairman!" Chen Xiuwen shook hands with Kang Jianfei excitedly. Since she starred in "Senior Sister Tuoqiang", she has been firmly on the throne of the first sister of Phoenix TV. She is very fond of Kang Jianfei who supported her and helped her through the difficulties.
I am grateful, and even have a feeling of admiration for Kang Jianfei hidden in my heart.
Mok Shaocong, He Jiajin and Yip Zhentang also sent greetings. Mok Shaocong and He Jiajin are both actors and stars on Phoenix TV, while Yip Zhentang is the original singer of "The Great Wall Will Never Fall Down". Strictly speaking, Yip Zhentang is a freelance singer like Zhang Mingmin.
, but he has been cooperating with Phoenix TV for a long time. He recorded some theme songs for TV series, which can be regarded as a living under Kang Jianfei.
TVB TVB's TV songs are basically sung by Luo Wen, while on Phoenix TV, it is Yip Zhentang. Luo Wen is more popular in Hong Kong, but Yip Zhentang is famous in Southeast Asia and Japan. He even won the Tokyo Music Festival three years ago
"Asia Award", he is the only Hong Kong singer to win this award.
"This is my friend Hu Juncai, let's get to know him," Kang Jianfei introduced.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Hu!" Chen Xiuwen and others hurriedly greeted him. This was the first time they heard Kang Jianfei mention the word "friend" when introducing someone.
Kang Jianfei's arrival actually made these people a little embarrassed. Although the two TV stations were fighting fiercely, Chen Xiuwen, He Jiajin and others just had a happy chat with Wang Mingquan and Luo Wen. After all, everyone is from Hong Kong, and most of them are from the mainland.
People who didn't understand Cantonese couldn't communicate, so people from the two TV stations naturally came together.
Now when Kang Jianfei came, the TVB star couldn't be too enthusiastic, so he just nodded to him as a greeting and stopped talking after that.
Hu Juncai had no scruples. He walked up to Wang Mingquan, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Sister Wang!"
"Hello, who are you?" Wang Mingquan had no impression of Hu Juncai at all. She really couldn't remember that she knew Kang Jianfei's friends.
Hu Juncai smiled and said: "I was a bit player on the set of "Chu Liuxiang", and I was hacked to death by you, Sister Wang, several times."
Wang Mingquan suddenly realized that he guessed that Hu Juncai was hanging out with Kang Jianfei, and he couldn't help but sigh. In just a few years, Kang Jianfei and Hu Juncai, two grassroots people who could only play small roles in the past, have transformed into the people she can only
The big boss you look up to is really unpredictable in the world.
Kang Jianfei chatted with the stars of Phoenix Channel for a while and found that he couldn't let go of them. He gave them a few words and left.
Kang Jianfei, who had signed Li Ningyu some time ago, also asked Ye Zipei to get a chance to perform in the Spring Festival Gala. At this time, he searched for a long time but could not find Li Ningyu.
It stands to reason that as Kang Jianfei is a guest invited by the Spring Festival Gala, chief director Huang Yihe should arrange for someone to receive him. But no one knew that Kang Jianfei would come in the afternoon, and the director team is now busy with the final rehearsal. Who can take care of other things.
Kang Jianfei and Hu Juncai drove back to the courtyard, and after dinner, they took the time to return to the Workers' Stadium.
In the afternoon, I used Hu Juncai's pass to watch the rehearsal at the Industrial Gymnasium, but in the evening I used Kang Jianfei's own invitation letter.
Nowadays, "Sister Tuoqiang" is being shown on CCTV, and "Sister Royal" is still lingering in the mainland. Kang Jianfei is still very famous in the mainland. But few people can match his name and appearance.
After the staff member read Kang Jianfei's invitation, he immediately took Kang Jianfei to sit down as if he were meeting the leader.
There is a circle of open space between the auditorium and the stage. There are more than ten dining tables there, and each table is covered with a beautiful white tablecloth. Fruit, drinks, candies and snacks are placed on the table, and there are also placed on each seat.
Cards with names of guests.
As a guest invited by CCTV, Kang Jianfei sat at this kind of dining table, while Hu Juncai sat in the first row of the auditorium.
Kang Jianfei looked around at the name tags and found that none of the people at the table with him knew him. After chatting for a while, he realized that they were officials from the Ministry of Culture and celebrities in the cultural world.
The Spring Festival Gala only started in more than ten minutes. Kang Jianfei suddenly asked the old lady next to him in surprise: "Director Yang is filming "Journey to the West"?"
Although Kang Jianfei was quite familiar with "Journey to the West", he really couldn't remember who the director of this TV series was. After chatting for a while, he was shocked to find that the person sitting next to him was Yang Jie, the director of "Journey to the West".
Yang Jie is not just a TV drama director. Her father is the famous martyr Yang Bokai, and her mother is also a party member. Yang Jie was sent to Yan'an to live and study in 1945. When CCTV was first launched, Yang Jie was transferred to work at the TV station.
The top veteran of CCTV has been among the top ten directors in China every year since 1978.
It is not surprising that Yang Jie sat at the same table with officials from the Ministry of Culture.
A deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture said: "Director Yang is serious and responsible for her work. "Journey to the West" has been filming for three years and she has traveled all over the country."
Yang Jie smiled bitterly and said: "Minister Li, please don't praise me. It's up to you whether "Journey to the West" can be filmed."
Kang Jianfei asked strangely: "Didn't I say that the ratings of the first 11 episodes of "Journey to the West" were very high? How could it not be filmed?"
"Several millions were spent, and it took three years to complete 11 episodes. Someone reported that I used production fees to travel around, and now the higher authorities are investigating." Yang Jie did not hide her predicament at all, and her tone was full of emotion.
Laugh at yourself.
With millions of RMB in the 1980s, it took three years to produce 11 episodes of a TV series. If Kang Jianfei was the boss, he would have cut the director alive.
However, after a subsequent conversation, Kang Jianfei found out how Yang Jie spent the money.
First of all, the entire "Journey to the West" crew only had one camera.
You heard it right, all the shots in the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" were shot with one camera from beginning to end. In some places, the camera angle needs to be changed, and the camera can only be moved to let the actors reenact it.
Secondly, Yang Jie made the TV series as a movie.
It takes six hours a day just to put on makeup and stick the monkey hair on Sun Wukong's face, and the makeup is gone in half a day. And because the scene jumps too much, I often travel all over the world by train, and it takes a long time to get to one place.
Building the crew and setting up the scene can’t be done quickly even if we want to.
Moreover, the first 11 episodes of the original version are different from those that were later broadcast. Each episode can be viewed as a complete movie. The complete 20th level was broadcast on the first day of the first lunar month in 1987, and the length of each episode was cut to 45.
About minutes.
Why is this happening?
Because when the filming of "Journey to the West" started, the entire CCTV program time was chaotic, and the broadcast time of each program was not fixed. The first episode of the movie produced by CCTV at that time was 50 minutes, and the second episode might be 40 minutes.
Episode 3 may be 60 minutes. Anyway, as long as the time difference is not outrageous, half an hour more for a show is acceptable.
It wasn't until last year's "Talking about the Yangtze River" that CCTV, which had enjoyed the benefits of its broadcast at six o'clock every day and achieved a high ratings of 40%, began to impose requirements on program time.
Kang Jianfei had a general understanding of the situation and asked: "In other words, the crew of "Journey to the West" has temporarily stopped filming?"
Yang Jie nodded silently. As for the boss asking her to write an inspection report or something, naturally she couldn't tell such embarrassing things.
Kang Jianfei knew how popular this version of "Journey to the West" was. It swept Southeast Asia back then. He immediately took it to heart and said: "Phoenix Channel is now cooperating with CCTV and is filming a lifestyle program. If "Journey to the West"
If you have financial difficulties, Phoenix TV may be able to provide some funding."
"Mr. Kang, are you serious?" Yang Jie is a veteran of CCTV and the chief director of CCTV's TV drama production center. She is very clear about CCTV's financial situation.
"Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West" each cost several million in budget, and it is still very early to finish filming. The TV drama production center is already so poor that it can starve to death. Currently, "Journey to the West" is halfway through filming because of funding stranded.
If Phoenix TV can inject a sum of funds, the difficulties Yang Jie faces will be greatly alleviated.
"Of course it's true," Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "but I am a businessman after all, and the money is not free."
Yang Jie can definitely make the decision for the CCTV TV Drama Production Center. She said: "If Mr. Kang has any requests, please feel free to ask."
"I hope that Phoenix TV can become one of the producers of "Journey to the West" and own all the copyrights of this TV series in Hong Kong, as well as some copyrights in Nanyang, Japan and South Korea. This part of the copyrights includes other video tapes besides the broadcast rights of the TV station.
Sales and other peripheral copyrights.”
Yang Jie had difficulty understanding the word peripheral and asked: "What are the peripheral copyrights that Mr. Kang mentioned?"
Kang Jianfei explained: "Peripheral copyrights include video tapes, records and other products, as well as related picture albums, toys, games, clothing and other products."
No one buys the TV series produced in mainland China, let alone any peripheral products. Yang Jie has no objection to this, saying: "Mr. Kang means that apart from Hong Kong, "Journey to the West" will not be broadcast on TV in other places.
The publishing rights belong to CCTV?”
"That's what I mean," Kang Jianfei nodded, "I plan to invest 2 million yuan first and then donate two Japanese-made cameras to CCTV. This kind of camera does not require film and will be helpful for the filming of "Journey to the West."
Yang Jie felt that this deal could be done, nodded and said with a smile: "I will report Mr. Kang's proposal to the leader."
The two have just finished talking about cooperation, and the 1985 CCTV Spring Festival Gala has officially begun. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, your support is mine.
