After Shen Teng's skit ended, Zuo Le did not run away, but continued to stay in front of the TV, waiting for leader Guo's cross talk.
Whether as a fan, a friend, or a direct competitor during the Lunar New Year festival, he has to observe the effect of Team Leader Guo's program and respond accordingly.
Although there are all kinds of controversies in his behavior, no one can doubt Lao Guo's achievements in the cross talk industry.
Since the sketch teacher Wang Zhao withdrew from the Spring Festival Gala, teacher Feng Yong has been performing at the opening stage of the Spring Festival Gala due to family reasons.
Therefore, if we can compete for the prime time when Teacher Zhao stays, there are only a few Spring Festival Galas for the elderly.
But after Leader Guo was confirmed to appear in the Spring Festival Gala this year, those seniors had to give up the prime time slot. The reason is that Guo is the top name in the cross talk sketch industry today, and his reputation is as good as that of Teacher Zhao back then.
Class Leader Guo will attend the Spring Festival Gala. Unless Teacher Zhao comes out again, no one else can beat him.
Even Teacher Feng Yong can only rely on his qualifications and seniority. If he tries hard to gain popularity, he will still be defeated...
It is no exaggeration to say that the biggest selling point of this year's Spring Festival Gala is that leader Guo will appear on the Spring Festival Gala for the second time. Many people turn on the TV, just waiting for the little black fat man to appear.
11:30 pm, prime time of the Spring Festival Gala.
In fact, strictly speaking, this time period cannot be said to be particularly good. The best time period should be between 10 o'clock and 10:30, and 11:30 is a bit later.
But there was no way. In order to attract the audience to watch the clock ringing at midnight, the Spring Festival Gala deliberately arranged for Teacher Wang Zhao to appear at this time. By the time he finished his performance, it was almost time to ring the clock at midnight.
Therefore, Teacher Zhao almost single-handedly turned this not-so-optimal time period into what everyone recognized as the prime time period of the Spring Festival Gala.
After Mr. Zhao withdrew from the Spring Festival Gala, the program team of each session put the most important programs in this time period, so it was also nicknamed the "C-position of the Spring Festival Gala".
However, it is a pity that after Teacher Zhao, few people can hold up the main beam, and "Spring Festival Gala C position" has become a term with only symbolic meaning, and is increasingly ignored by the audience.
This year, Lao Guo also has high hopes from the Spring Festival Gala program team, hoping to stop the decline and regain his glory as the "C-position" in the Spring Festival Gala.
………
After much anticipation, team leader Guo and his old wife...ahem...partner Yu Jian appeared on the stage.
According to Lao Guo's habit, he started off with some casual remarks. Perhaps due to time factors, he started to get into the mood after a few sentences. Zuo Le listened carefully for a few minutes, with a bit of disappointment on his face.
The Spring Festival Gala placed too many restrictions on Lao Guo, causing him to be constrained in everything and unable to perform to the level he should have.
The basics of the performance are old jokes, which Zuo Le can understand. After all, it is the Spring Festival Gala stage, and it is normal to use mature baggage.
Moreover, cross talk is not afraid of old jokes, and Lao Guo Shang's performances are all old jokes, but they can still make you laugh if they are supposed to make you laugh.
But the premise is that you cannot restrict him.
Lao Guo is actually half a status actor. When he is in good shape, he can smash and kill like crazy. It's really like a god standing in the way to kill a god, and a Buddha standing in the way to kill a Buddha.
Even though his condition was not good, Lao Guo also had his tricks. He had a solid foundation of basic skills, and then he used the teacher and his family to do it. Tried and tested, the results were amazing.
Now that we are on the Spring Festival Gala, we must not mess around. Most of the jokes about Teacher Yu’s family cannot be used. Coupled with various other restrictions, it is equivalent to losing most of Guo’s skills.
Of course, given Lao Guo's skill, even under such circumstances, the cross talk mentioned in this paragraph is not bad.
People who don't often listen to his cross talk may like it very much, but for old audiences who have seen Lao Guo's peak works, this level is far from everyone's psychological expectations.
If nothing else happens, there will be a lot of disputes about this matter tomorrow, but for the current leader Guo, this may not be a bad thing.
Disputes mean traffic and popularity. When "The Legend of Jigong" is about to start the Lunar New Year season, this is definitely a very considerable publicity exposure.
If he didn't know Lao Guo's character, Zuo Le would even suspect that this was deliberate hype.
But no matter what, at least in terms of promoting the movie, Lao Guo's appearance in the Spring Festival Gala this time has achieved the intended goal, and even slightly exceeded it.
And Shen Teng is actually not bad either. Zuo Le just had a phone call with the person in charge of the promotion of "Charlotte Troubles".
"Today's Happiness" has aroused great popularity, and Zuo Le's "Spring Festival Gala Project" has made a lot of money this time.
It's just that Shen Teng is not as well-known as Lao Guo. The attention Lao Guo received in the Spring Festival Gala can be directly channeled to the movie, but Shen Teng has to let him increase his popularity first, and then work on channeling it to "Charlotte Trouble".
Compared with the two, Shen Teng is not only less efficient, but also needs a certain transition time. During the transition period, a lot of heat and attention will be lost.
But even so, according to the Internet data collected by Shanhe, apart from Lao Guo's cross talk, Shen Teng's skits were the most popular among the language programs of this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Not only has Shen Teng's fame skyrocketed, the publicity effect he has brought to "Charlotte Trouble" has also been beyond imagination.
At least if Shen Teng were to follow the normal publicity method, which is to divide into 5 people and break 10 legs, it would be enough to achieve the popularity brought by the Spring Festival Gala.
Zuo Le is already very satisfied with this,
You know, this is the first time for Shen Teng to attend the Spring Festival Gala. Isn't it a joke to compare him with the leader Guo who has been famous for many years? Zuo Le has never thought about letting Shen Teng surpass him.
As long as the publicity expectations of "Charlotte Trouble" can be fulfilled, even if Shen Teng completes the task, it now seems that Shen Teng has completely succeeded.
………
At 12 o'clock in the morning, the New Year's bell rang on the TV.
Zuo Le sent New Year blessings to several family members who were still asleep, and then received a call from Yan Kui.
It was Shanhe's first time to compete in the Lunar New Year stalls, and no one in the company dared to be careless. As the company's president, Yan Kui, although he did not stay at the company on New Year's Eve, worked remotely from home, always paying attention to the Lunar New Year stalls.
"Chairman, "Dragon Totem" and "Under the Orange Tree" have started to premiere at midnight, but the box office growth has been very small."
"On New Year's Eve, there were a few people who had nothing to do and went out to watch movies in the middle of the night. Even if they did, they had already booked their tickets at the pre-sale window, and few bought them now.
Don’t worry about their box office for now, let’s take a look at word of mouth, especially “Dragon Totem”.”
Zuo Le had already predicted that the zero o’clock stall was not new, but it is estimated that few Chinese people would support the zero o’clock stall on New Year’s Eve.
The real opening time of the Lunar New Year movie will be after 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The premiere of "Charlotte" is also at this time. The same is true for other Lunar New Year movies. Even if there are differences, the time before and after will not exceed two hours.
And for a film to be released at zero o'clock like this, either it's a stubborn thing, or it's because it's a gamble.
Zuo Le doesn’t want to worry about the plans for these two movies, but there is no doubt that with these two movies being released first, the 2022 Lunar New Year season has already begun.
At this time, the pre-sale box office of "Charlotte Trouble" is more than 247 million, ranking third in the Lunar New Year box office list.
The second is Cheng Long's "Dragon Totem", with a pre-sale box office of more than 254 million, only a few million more than "Charlotte".
The first one is "Golden Night Banquet", which has now exceeded 400 million in box office, reaching a terrifying 438 million, breaking the domestic film pre-sale box office record.
This year, the pre-sale box office for the entire Lunar New Year period totaled more than 1.314 billion, an increase of more than 30% compared to last year, making it the highest pre-sale box office for the Lunar New Year period in history.
Experts who had previously advocated a cold winter for film and television due to poor summer box office performance changed their tone and began to shout that spring has arrived for the Chinese film industry.
At first glance, it seems that the seasons have changed...
