346 Everyday Spring Festival Gala Song Selection Phobia
"Director Jin, walk slowly."
"Lao Kang, call us later."
Fanxing Company, Cao Xuan personally saw off the 2003 Spring Festival Gala chief director Jin Yue and director Kang Honglei.
The former is a veteran director of CCTV. In 1990, he participated in the creation of the "Variety Show" program. In 1994 and 1995, he was one of the executive directors of the Spring Festival Gala.
In 2001, Jin Yue and two others served as the general director of the Spring Festival Gala. This year, he became the general director independently and received much attention from CCTV.
The Spring Festival Gala the year before last, Cao Xuan and Jin Yue had worked together and were considered acquaintances, not to mention Kang Honglei.
So far, when major media or interviews take stock of Cao Xuan's debut process, Kang Honglei is one of the must-appear characters.
Many people know that it was he who took Cao Xuan to the crew of "Water Margin" and introduced him to Zhang Jizhong, who ultimately made Cao Daguanren's debut film.
The two have kept in touch to this day, and Cao Xuan never forgets to ask people to give him something during holidays.
But now times have changed, even Zhang Jizhong and Cao Xuan are brothers. Although Kang Honglei still calls Cao Xuan "Xuanzi", Cao Xuan's name for him has changed from Kang Dao to "Lao Kang".
This is not because Cao Xuan is arrogant because he is in power, it is because of their strong request, saying it is cordial...
Cao Xuan has gradually grown from a small supporting role to an international star now, and Kang Honglei finally made his mark this year.
The debut film "The Burning Years of Passion" became a hit. Although the first broadcast ratings were not as good as "The Golden Family", it could not withstand the high replay rate.
Relevant satellite TV and local stations broadcast it over and over again, making this drama extremely influential.
Before the emergence of classic TV series such as "Golden Wedding", "Parental Love" and "Wang Gui and Anna", "The Passionate Years" is definitely a model of contemporary love/family dramas, and will be rebroadcasted every year.
This drama made Sun Haiying and his wife famous all over the country, and the eldest son Huang Haibo also rose to prominence.
As a director, Kang Honglei naturally became famous in one fell swoop and was valued by CCTV, becoming a member of this year's Spring Festival Gala directing team.
However, Cao Xuan knew that Lao Kang would not be able to stay at CCTV for long, and was currently cooperating with Zhang Dahuzi to prepare the TV series "Tsing Yi".
He plans to start the next drama by himself. Based on their friendship, Cao Xuan believes that Lao Kangla will not forget him when he invests.
At that time, whether it is signing him to Fanxing, using Guolan to invest in Kang Honglei's company, or even investing in film and television alone.
Anyway, works such as "Soldier Assault" and "My Commander, My Regiment" were targeted by Cao Xuan, and Kang Honglei could not escape his grasp.
After seeing off the two Spring Festival Gala directors, Cao Xuan returned to the office and called several people from the music department to discuss the Spring Festival Gala program.
Some of the Fanxing employees who saw Jin Yue also recognized their identities.
This year's Spring Festival Gala program team has just been established, and newspapers are reporting on it. Photos of Jin Yue and Kang Honglei have also been published in the media.
After Cao Xuan left, the news immediately spread throughout the office area, causing all kinds of whispers.
"Boss is going to attend the Spring Festival Gala again this year."
"Is this nothing new?"
The new employees may still be a little surprised and excited, but the old employees are already very calm. It would be news that Cao Xuan would not attend the Spring Festival Gala any year.
"Brother, I heard news from Tianya that every year when the Spring Festival Gala director team takes office, the first thing they do is visit Zhao Benshan in Fei Liao Province, and then they come to our company to meet the boss."
"Well, I don't know whether the director of the Spring Festival Gala will fly to Liaoning Province, but in the past two years, it was indeed the chief director who personally invited our boss."
"Holy shit, that's awesome. If our boss and Zhao Benshan give up, then the Spring Festival Gala director will have to step down."
"It's not that exaggerated. You are really a soft persimmon of CCTV. Besides, our boss and Zhao Benshan don't have to go against the Spring Festival Gala director team. If you are full, you can go to Tianya when you have nothing to do and use your brain for gossip."
"Oh, then the news that the boss and Jia Jingwen were having sex, and then Producer Hu went to the set of "Heaven and Dragon Sword" to catch an adulterer and have a fight, is it also false?"
"...Which post, I will contact the management department to refute the rumors and delete the post. Whether the moderator of Tianya has been replaced, I don't care about this kind of post."
Fanxing is famous for its strict control over the image of artists. It doesn't matter if everyone complains a few words. This kind of black material that obviously spreads rumors and greatly damages the image of artists must be dealt with.
For this reason, Fanxing is the entertainment company that competes with Tianya the most. The number of lawyers’ letters alone has exceeded double digits, and some posts have even directly called the police.
Although Tianya is considered a well-known website on the Internet, it cannot afford to offend the wealthy Boss Cao.
Therefore, Fanxing artists’ rumors and smear posts will be deleted or marked as false information, and Fanxing Company will use its official account to refute the rumors.
Therefore, Tianya netizens all know that Fanxing is difficult to offend, and a few gossips don’t matter. You cannot smear or attack, otherwise the dog management will delete the ban.
For this reason, some people even speculated that Tianya had Cao Xuan's shares, so they looked at Fanxing in a different light.
However, they thought too much about this and spent money to invest in some shares if possible, but Cao Xuan didn't care.
Although Tianya declined in the future and was once dismissed by major software, before the rise of Weibo Tieba Douban, Tianya was the most famous online entertainment site.
By investing in shares, you can have a certain amount of initiative, and at least the shareholders will not be hacked. Even with a small amount of money, Cao Xuan is still willing to get involved.
The worst that can happen is that when Tianya goes public, you can sell your shares and leave. If you look for the right opportunity and operate it well, you can still make a small profit.
But at this stage, Tianya Community has no plans to raise funds. Even if Cao Xuan wants to invest, he will have to wait or see who plans to sell shares.
Cao Xuan also has little desire for this. He has achieved success and cannot be defeated. Compared with comprehensive forums such as Tianya Community, he values Weibo and Douban more.
Needless to say more about the former, if the authority of the latter's scoring can be grasped, it will have great potential advantages for Fanxing.
And it can be derived into publicity and ticket distribution, matching the theaters, allowing Fanxing to directly control the one-stop process of film production, distribution, theaters, word-of-mouth evaluation, and publicity.
In order to realize the big entertainment strategy, Cao Xuan can only invest in other Internet sectors, but entertainment-related Internet sectors such as online articles, Douban rating + ticketing, streaming video websites, music websites, etc.
Cao Xuan can either do it himself or cooperate with Penguin, but he must have control or leadership.
………
There were various small discussions among the employees within the company, and Cao Xuan, who returned to the office, also directly raised his ideas with several people in the music department.
This year he not only has to attend the Spring Festival Gala by himself, but also has Hu Jing to attend with him.
As I said before, the other three of the four actresses have already appeared on the Spring Festival Gala. If Hu Jing cannot attend, then the other three will be weak.
This is also the disadvantage of being rated as the Four Little Actresses, as they are often compared to others by the outside world.
Although Cao Xuan and Hu Jing don't care about being competitive and winning the first place, they can't be at the bottom, otherwise they will be ridiculed by the crowd.
This group of fans is very powerful in terms of their position. Fans started various wars. Zhao was dragged into a certain door and wouldn't let go. There was an international chapter of grape lovers, Mr. Zhou had a rich love history, and Hu Jing relied on Cao Xuan to rise to the top.
No matter online or offline, as long as the status of the four little actresses is mentioned, there will be no time to laugh.
Who will win an award today, who will sing poorly tomorrow, who will make it to Hollywood the day after tomorrow, and whose ratings will explode again the day after tomorrow...
The inside is called a roll!
It's okay for one of the four young ladies to go to the Spring Festival Gala, and it's okay for two of them to go to the Spring Festival Gala, but if all three of them go to the Spring Festival Gala, the remaining one will be embarrassed.
So from the moment he saw Mr. Zhou attending the Spring Festival Gala last year, Cao Xuan was ready to recommend Hu Jing to attend the Spring Festival Gala.
This matter is not too difficult for Cao Xuan. Not to mention his relationship with the Spring Festival Gala, Hu Jing's status and popularity are enough to make her come to power.
It can be seen from the top three that Xiaohua needs to go to the Spring Festival Gala to prove herself, and the Spring Festival Gala also needs them to add glory.
However, Cao Xuan's ambition is not only to promote Hu Jing to the Spring Festival Gala, but also to make her shine and leave an impression on the audience. This is the correct way to open the Spring Festival Gala.
Otherwise, just walking around on stage and singing songs will not make people remember anything. This Spring Festival Gala is of little significance except to brush up on seniority.
So Cao Xuan wanted to give Hu Jing a whole good program, but he hadn't thought about which song would be good yet.
He had considered singing a duet with two people, but it was difficult to sing male and female songs, and many male and female duet songs were not suitable for the Spring Festival Gala. The song "Because of Love" was classic enough, but it was not suitable for them now.
It would be easy if it were Zeng Li. With her dramatic style, she could do "The New Drunken Concubine" or "Because I Just Met You" and it would blow up the entire audience.
Hu Jing is in trouble, Cao Xuan's own songs are also a problem, and he suffers from difficulty in choosing every day.
The original version of "Chasing Dreams" always felt too explosive.
"Father" is good, but I don't know if it will match the Spring Festival Gala.
"Where Has the Time Gone" Cao Xuan wants to wait for two years.
"Legend" is okay, but in September 2003, I don't know if Li Jian has written it now.
"The Ordinary Road" is also fine, but Wang Zha and Cao Xuan are reluctant to use it.
When discussing with the music department, Cao Xuan felt scratched in his heart. The thought of having to help Hu Jing think of songs this year made Cao Xuan even more worried...
