In the conference room, Jiang Siming and the director sat face to face.
The director is a woman in her fifties, wearing glasses and very polite. As soon as she arrived, she exchanged greetings with Jiang Siming and talked about Reba's recent situation.
As Reba's teacher at Nortel, she has always been very optimistic about Reba's future stardom.
Unexpectedly, she quit the entertainment industry and became the wife of the richest man...
Fortunately, Reba made this choice, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to invite Jiang Siming, the giant Buddha, today.
When the director saw Dongfang Weixi next to Jiang Siming, he still hesitated, and whispered: "Mr. Jiang, our Spring Festival Gala... is absolutely confidential... That outsider cannot..."
"Don't worry, she is not an outsider, and she will never leak the news. If you are really worried, should I ask her family to call you?"
Dongfang Weixi also nodded cooperatively and said to the director obediently: "Auntie, I can ask my grandpa to call you."
Fortunately, the director chose to believe Jiang Siming, otherwise she would probably not be able to sleep in the past few days after answering the phone.
"Okay, then I'll rest assured. There's no need for a phone call. It's like this. This Spring Festival Gala, I want to ask Mr. Jiang to sing a song, preferably a new song."
Jiang Siming was not surprised. He had expected it. He nodded calmly and said, "Okay, what are your requirements for the new song?"
"It's best to be positive, and because today's children only like to play with mobile phones and surf the Internet, can this song have a theme of urging everyone to put down their mobile phones and go out for a walk more?" the director asked sheepishly.
She felt that this request was a bit excessive. She wanted a new song and had to give people such an embarrassing question at the last minute.
But Jiang Siming seemed very calm and continued to ask: "Is there anything else?"
The director thought Jiang Siming was angry and asked this deliberately.
He quickly explained: "Mr. Jiang, don't be angry and don't misunderstand me. In fact, it's okay not to ask for this. We all trust your songwriting skills."
Jiang Siming had a question mark on his face, when did I get angry???
"You also misunderstood. I'm not angry. I'm just really asking you if you have any other requirements."
The director breathed a sigh of relief. Since Jiang Siming said this, she was disrespectful.
"That's right, this song had better have some rap style, because you also know that the popular rap styles in China now are all copied from the Western style. They always say yo yo yo, and they speak so fast that you can't understand it.
What kind of singing is there, with a few English or curse words mixed in, which is very hard to listen to and can easily teach bad things to children, so I hope to have a good rap style guide, and preferably also praise the great mountains and rivers of China, you see
...Is it ok?"
After speaking to the director, her tone became weak at the end. She felt that if she were Jiang Siming and she put forward so many conditions, she would have slammed the table and left.
Isn't this obviously making things difficult for others?
But she forgot how many difficult questions Jiang Siming encountered on the "Le" program. For him, this kind of question was not a problem at all!
"Okay, is that all?"
"Yes, that's enough."
"Okay, where is the music rehearsal room? Call the band over. I need to take up their time for an hour." Jiang Siming stood up and said.
"Ah? An hour?" The director was stunned.
"Is one hour too long? Then half an hour is fine. I'm just worried that the band won't be able to remember the melody." Jiang Siming looked worried.
The director was almost dumbfounded and quickly shook his head and explained: "No, no, no, I mean, one hour is too short."
An hour? Write a song? How is this possible?
"How about I give you three days? Is three days okay?"
"No, it's only for an hour. I've finished rehearsal early and I have other things to do." After Jiang Siming finished speaking, he left with an admiring Dongfang Weixi.
The director was left alone and messy in the conference room...
However, Jiang Siming really only took one hour to complete the composition and coordination with the band.
During the rehearsal, this new song amazed everyone.
After Jiang Siming finished singing, people who came to the rehearsal later asked the director who the singer was, what song he sang, why it sounded so good, and they also asked for introductions.
The director was speechless and could only tell them that the singer had finished rehearsing and left, so everyone should rehearse separately.
(Can anyone guess what this song will be? If you can guess it, then that’s really cool~ The answer will be revealed in the next few chapters.)
After the rehearsal, Jiang Siming took Weixi and left the studio.
The director chased him out and asked, "Mr. Jiang, when will you come back for rehearsal? I'll arrange a time for you."
"No, I'm only rehearsing once. Just ask the band to do as I say and practice hard. I'll come back on the Spring Festival Gala."
"Isn't it a little bad to only rehearse once... Mr. Jiang, this is the Spring Festival Gala, and more than a billion people are watching it. If... I make a mistake, I will..."
The director almost asked Jiang Siming to rehearse again? This is no joke.
There is no Spring Festival Gala program in the past that has only been rehearsed once. No one has the courage.
If something went wrong or the cooperation failed when it was broadcast live across the country on New Year's Eve, we would be laughing our ass off.
The three black minutes of the Spring Festival Gala are still vivid in our minds, and audiences across the country probably still remember these three minutes.
Therefore, every Spring Festival Gala after that was scheduled every second. Even if it was just a few seconds, it would have to be rehearsed dozens of times for fear of making another mistake.
From guests to hosts, everyone has to start preparing for the Spring Festival Gala two or three months ago, just to prevent such incidents from happening again.
But Jiang Siming said that he only rehearsed once? Isn't this scary...
In previous Spring Festival Galas, there was only one rehearsal, and it was a program that was killed in one go.
Jiang Siming's status is too special, and the director dare not provoke him. Otherwise, Jiang Siming's tone and attitude towards the Spring Festival Gala would not be enough even if he was killed a hundred times.
But Jiang Siming decided to rehearse once and for all, and said he would bear the responsibility if anything happened.
Then he disappeared from the director's sight.
"Did I hire a singer or a man? As a director, I don't have any reputation at all..."
The director smiled bitterly, you know, Brother Long can do whatever he wants.
All guests at the Spring Festival Gala, no matter how famous they are, must be obedient in front of her.
But the person who disappeared in front of her eyes was the only one she... really couldn't control.
To be on the safe side, the director even contacted the top management of Yangma and talked about the matter, hoping that the other party could persuade Jiang Siming to come back and rehearse more times.
You don’t have to do it ten times or eight times, even once and half a time will do.
Who would have thought that the top management of Yangma only replied to her: "We can't call him. If you can call him, go ahead and call him yourself. Don't embarrass us~"
