Chen Guozhi held the thin manuscript paper in his hand and looked at the author's name marked under the title. He was completely speechless.
Lu Chen had previously produced two original musical works. Although he felt that Lu Chen was a bit impetuous at the time, he did not think it was unreasonable. After all, Lu Chen's talent in music was well known, and it was normal for him to release a song every few days.
But now what Lu Chen came up with was a sketch script!
Switching from pop music to sketches all at once, isn’t that a big step?
Chen Guozhi suddenly felt that his throat was itchy, and he wanted to cough hard to express his feelings at the moment.
However, because he had already made a mistake, he held back and read on carefully.
This great director even felt unconvinced in his heart. I know you are very capable, Lu Chen. Two works convinced me, but not everyone can be good at sketch creation, especially the sketches for the Spring Festival Gala.
It’s too exaggerated, even one from a hundred is not enough!
At domestic evening parties, language programs mainly refer to sketches, cross talk, etc. Others include recitations, allegro, three and a half sentences, tongue twisters, tongue-in-cheek, comedy and other folk arts programs. Among them, poetry recitations with music are more common, and musical sitcoms are more common.
There are also some other forms.
But on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, when people talk about language programs, they are basically cross talk and sketches.
Since the launch of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the early 1980s, crosstalk and sketches have always been the most popular programs enjoyed by the general public. A number of excellent crosstalk and sketch actors have also emerged on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
It includes many classic language programs, such as the cross talk "Promotion", "Celebrating the New Year", "City God's Temple", the sketch "Going to the Market", "Tomorrow Will Be Better", etc., which are still often watched by people today.
However, as the aesthetic standards of hundreds of millions of viewers improve, the quality of crosstalk and sketches is declining year by year. Coupled with certain policy reasons and economic interests, creators of language programs generally lack creativity and have rigid ideas.
Many crosstalks and sketches rely on online jokes to make up the numbers.
As a result, the audience was dissatisfied and the ratings were very bad, which in turn affected the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala. This vicious cycle is getting worse and worse.
The selection of the 2018 Spring Festival Gala program actually started this summer, but so far, Chen Guozhi has only selected one program in the language category, and it is still biased toward traditional cross talk.
It's not that he is too picky, but most of the cross talk sketches submitted for review have problems of one kind or another, which makes Chen Guozhi unable to pass even if he pinches his nose!
After watching too many boring sketches, it was normal for Chen Guozhi not to have hope for the script written by Lu Chen, but he couldn't disgrace Lu Chen either. After all, Lu Chen had just given him two excellent works.
.
But the same situation as before happened again. After reading only two to three hundred words, Chen Guozhi couldn't take his eyes off the manuscript!
He straightened his back involuntarily, holding the teacup in his left hand and caressing it unconsciously, his brows tightly forming the word "Chuan", looking extremely serious.
"Ha ha…"
But the next moment, Director Chen's tense face suddenly burst into a heartfelt smile, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, almost overturning the tea cup in his hand!
"Director Chen..."
The assistant sitting next to him was startled and thought something had happened.
Chen Guozhi waved his hand to signal the other party to calm down: "It's okay, it's just that the jokes in this script are well written."
He couldn't help but look up at Lu Chen, with undisguised admiration in his eyes.
Still underestimated!
Director Chen Da felt quite emotional. He had read so many sketch scripts, and Lu Chen's script was definitely outstanding. If it had not borrowed jokes from the Internet, it would have been the most outstanding.
First of all, the plot is neither vulgar nor kitsch, nor is it a lofty preaching example. The language is simple and vivid but very interesting. The most important thing is that it does not involve any sensitive social or political topics.
What is a good skit? This is the best skit!
Will Lu Chen plagiarize?
Chen Guozhi rejected this idea at the first time. Now that the Internet is so developed and there are powerful search engines, plagiarists basically have no way to hide and it is too easy to be exposed.
Lu Chen was certainly confident when he submitted the script to him with such confidence.
Rather than suspecting him of plagiarizing Internet jokes, it would be more reliable to suspect that he has a gunman behind the scenes.
Does Lu Chen need a gunner?
There is no need at all, because Lu Chen does not need this kind of fame to support himself. He has become the most popular young artist in the country through singing and acting. It doesn't matter if he has more honors or less.
The world is evil and people are unpredictable, and Chen Guozhi is not afraid to speculate the worst malice on others, but the young man sitting opposite him is extraordinary, handsome, confident, sunny, and has a convincing temperament and charm.
At this time, Chen Guozhi remembered that Lu Chen's movies and TV series were all written by himself. Without any doubt in his heart, he lowered his head and continued reading the script in his hand.
It took Chen Guozhi a full 15 minutes to read the entire script. During this period, he laughed a total of 5 times. Except for the first few minutes, he smiled throughout the whole process.
At this time, even his assistant was conquered by Lu Chen, because the assistant accompanied Chen Guozhi to review sketch scripts not once or twice. He had seen his various displays of disgust, disgust, and impatience towards those works, but never
I have never seen any book that can make him so happy!
After reading it, Chen Guozhi breathed a long sigh of relief. He raised the manuscript paper in his hand and asked with a smile: "Xiao Lu, do you plan to transfer this sketch book to the Spring Festival Gala for free?"
Chen Guozhi knew very well that it was impossible for Lu Chen to ask him to perform in this skit. First of all, the character design was wrong.
Lu Chen said calmly: "Director Chen, I am going to give this script to you."
"Give it to me?"
Chen Guozhi was surprised, but what kind of person he was, he immediately guessed what Lu Chen was thinking: "Then tell me, is there anything you need my help with?"
There is no reward for no merit. What Lu Chen brought out previously helped him solve a big problem, and now he has given him a sketch script that is qualified to become a classic. Chen Guozhi does not think that Lu Chen wants to be a living Lei Feng.
"Do you want to promote a certain artist signed by your company to the Spring Festival Gala?"
Chen Guozhi thought that this should be Lu Chen's purpose, but Lu Chen's answer was beyond his expectation!
"Director Chen, I would like to invite you to direct "The Swordsman"!"——
