In addition to Qinghe, other companies and satellite TV are also preparing for the second "China Cup".
The venue this time is Shonan City, and the time is still December 31.
The list of finalists has been announced on the official website. Last year's big winner, Mr. He, still had a place with "Basic Camp" and "The Great Detective".
Wang and Meng were not absent either, but Sister Jing was not seen this year due to changes in the program.
Teacher Guo of Daoyu Society was shortlisted for the Grand Prize and Best Program Award for the new season of "Comedian".
"The Voice", which did not enter last year, also appeared in the waiting list, which caused some discordant voices on the Internet.
Of course, Teacher Huang Lei is also indispensable, but the program has changed from "Street Food" to "Run!"
The media have already begun to speculate in advance who will have the last laugh in the end. The voting initiated by them showed that more than 35% of the votes voted for "Run!"
It can be said that this program, which has won word-of-mouth, ratings and eyeballs this year, has become a big hit.
Not only Huang Lei, Peng Yan and Ti Luoer were shortlisted for the Variety Newcomer Award, but Xiao Sa was a candidate for the Excellence Award.
There were seven finalists in the entire program, which was the most among all contestants.
All members were inevitably harassed by various media, and even Su Yan received several calls from people wanting to be interviewed.
The rest was fine, so I just found an excuse to kill it. His alma mater, the Yanjing Academy of Drama, also sent an invitation for him to give a speech.
It was my mentor at the time, Professor Zhang, who called me personally, so I had no choice but to accept the call.
For this reason, I even went out of my way to learn from Huang Lei. After all, he has been a teacher for many years and has rich experience.
The other party didn't hide anything. During the few days of recording "Three Meals a Day", I asked him to talk to him when I had time. Su Yan also found a small notebook and wrote several pages full of it.
When the recording ended, he said hello to his parents but did not go home. He took Huang Lei's car and rushed to the airport because he wanted to go back to see his wife and children.
Along the way, Su Yan was talking to the notebook, which made Teacher Huang laugh.
"Xiao Yan, you are not afraid of facing a big star or commanding a team of hundreds of people. How can you give a small speech and you are still so panicked as a young boy?"
Su Yan put down the notebook feeling helpless.
"This is different. When I get to school, I always think of my student days and feel inexplicably nervous. I don't know why.
Moreover, I am just a young director, so I cannot talk about returning home with honor. I have actually experienced their mentality. I feel that as long as I graduate, I will be able to fly high and do a great career.
If you can’t become a TV or film director, I feel like you’re not qualified to give lectures.”
"I have to tell you." Huang Lei disagreed: "Are variety show directors, advertising directors, and MV directors not directors?
In my opinion, there is no distinction between high and low professions, only whether they are suitable or not.
Maybe I ask you to make a TV series, and you may not be able to make it into a mess, but I ask you to write a novel, and you may not even be able to become a leader when you finish it.
Think about it, if you really go to make TV movies, then these programs will not be able to appear, what a huge loss it will be.
It's normal for young people to have high expectations but low abilities. Just say it, whether you can listen to it or not is not something you can control.
When the teacher asks you to give a speech, he is just telling these students not to get into trouble, and the most important thing is to find what suits you.
There are so many graduates of different majors every year, and none of them can get what they want, and most of them end up doing something else."
Su Yan nodded: "I understand, thank you, Teacher Huang."
Then we no longer obsessed with the process, and everyone talked about some relaxed topics.
"You are on your schedule tomorrow afternoon. Why not stay overnight at my house and try your sister-in-law's cooking? Duoduo also remembers her uncle who brought her snacks." Huang Lei suggested.
In fact, Su Yan was not willing to disturb him. After all, he was an outsider. No matter how good the relationship was, it would only be enough to have a meal, but staying overnight would be too much trouble for the other party.
So he simply refused and told the truth. Huang Lei laughed and cursed a few times and stopped forcing himself.
"By the way, what has Lao Hu been busy with recently? Why do I feel like I haven't seen him for a long time? I just called him a few times."
Su Yan changed the topic.
"He is in Cannes, participating in the film festival for the first time.
Didn't I just act in a movie and go with the crew?"
"When did you go?"
Huang Lei recalled: "Just the past few days, the movie was finished filming some time ago, and he packed his bag and went traveling again.
He has also worked hard this year. He has almost never stopped working on TV series and movies, and he even got a lot of tan for this movie entry."
"Hey, why didn't he even say anything to me? He's really not a brother." Su Yan was angry.
Huang Lei thought of something and laughed for a while.
"Are you sorry? Lao Hu told me that he called you at ten o'clock in the evening and said that he was going abroad and wanted to ask you what you need to bring. But you ignored me and hung up immediately afterwards.
He even turned off his phone and was so angry that he didn’t want to take it anymore.”
Now it was Su Yan's turn to be embarrassed. It turned out that there was such a story that day. No wonder he said that he had been sending WeChat messages to Lao Hu in the past few days but didn't get them back. He was really stingy.
After thinking about it, I asked Teacher Huang to take a short video of me, apologizing and finally returning the pen refill.
The air tickets were booked by Huang Lei's agent, and they were all in business class. Mainly because he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, he put on a mask and hat before entering the waiting room.
He also jokingly asked Su Yan if he wanted it.
Su Yan looked disgusted: "I'll forget it. I'm afraid I'll be dragged into pretending to be a celebrity. If I take off my mask and the other party says, 'Are you???', that would be so embarrassing."
After saying this, not only Huang Lei, but also the economic man next to him couldn't help but laugh.
After two and a half hours, the plane was slightly delayed. At around nine o'clock in the night, the three of them arrived in Yanjing.
Su Yan continued to drive to the city center and declined the other party's further invitation. After saying goodbye, he made a phone call.
"Hello, I'm Su Yan."
"Oh, oh, hello, Mr. Su, I am Xie Wenguang, Class of 17th."
"I know. The professor told me that he has arrived in Yanjing now."
"Ah! Where are you? I'll pick you up right away."
The other party didn't expect Su Yan to arrive early, and didn't even say hello. He was a little panicked. He had to defeat several competitors to get this reception task, but he immediately made such a big mistake.
"No need, I'm very familiar with Yanjing. I'm already in the city. I just wanted to tell you."
Seeing that Su Yan was so talkative, classmate Xie felt relieved a little: "Teacher Su, are you close to the school now? We can arrange a room for you here, which is the guest house next to the west gate. I will go to say hello right away. If you come over, sign up directly.
That’s fine.”
"Okay, I'll be there in about half an hour."
"Hey, Haole."
It was not convenient to take a taxi at this time, so I just boarded the bus, and my luggage was only a small bag anyway.
As for the guest house that the classmate mentioned, it is a bit unusual. It is used by Su Yan's alma mater specifically for reception.
I was lucky enough to go in when I was a student, and it was no less than a star-rated hotel.
(ps: Thank you everyone, I will be on Channel 6 next week)
