Xu Zhou took over the job of Spring Festival Gala!
Seeing that Xu Zhou happily agreed to be the general director of the Spring Festival Gala, Li Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He said: "Director Xu, when do you plan to leave for the capital? It will be easy to make arrangements in Taichung by then."
Xu Zhou said calmly: "Let's put it together in June or July. Then we will set up the director team first. The program will be easy to talk about. I know it well."
This time is just right, and it’s also in time for preparations for the Spring Festival Gala.
Li Ming nodded and said: "Okay, let's keep in communication at all times. I will return to the capital tomorrow and report to Taili. As for the official announcement, let's wait for the official announcement in June or July."
The Spring Festival Gala has a habit of officially announcing the director team.
Xu Zhou was naturally fine.
Even if the Spring Festival Gala is not officially announced, I will not suddenly kick myself out as the chief director.
If the Spring Festival Gala goes back on its promise and does not allow itself to be the chief director, it will be their loss.
As for the Spring Festival Gala program, Xu Zhou has an idea.
The more than 30 years of Spring Festival Gala history in the original time and space is enough for Xu Zhou to select classic programs to compose this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Let’s not talk about singing and dancing for now.
The sketches "Eating Noodles", "Selling Kidnappers", "Adventures in Working", "Not Short of Money", "Decoration", "To Help or Not to Help"...are they okay?
Which one is not a sketch that makes people laugh out loud from beginning to end?
As for the Spring Festival Gala, many viewers watch the Spring Festival Gala just to watch the Spring Festival Gala sketches.
Song and dance programs really don't mean much to the public.
Don't say that singing and dancing are elegant arts.
For ordinary people, both elegance and vulgarity can be appreciated.
Everyone likes to be amused.
Previously, everyone looked at Chen Peisi and Zhao Benshan and looked forward to their appearance.
At that time, as soon as Benshan appeared, the whole audience immediately cheered.
How many sketch actors today can do this?
After Zhao Benshan retired, in the sketch field, although there are still Shen Teng of Happy Twist and Jia Ling of Dawan Entertainment... there is also Jia Bing.
Shen Teng's sketch was okay, but Jia Ling's and Jia Bing's sketches always felt like they were missing something.
Sometimes, the skits between these two people are deliberately sensational at the end.
Jia Bing also has a routine.
Of course, Jia Ling's "Li Huanying" is good whether it is a sketch or a movie.
The quality of other sketches varies greatly.
In the original time and space, people found that the Spring Festival Gala was getting worse and worse, there were fewer and fewer actors with acting skills in the entertainment industry, Chicken Brother became the mainstream, and singers who could carry the music industry became increasingly scarce. Jay Chou, who was in his forties, was still dominating.
List.
Even in the field of cross talk, Lao Guo’s Deyun Club is becoming more and more popular among fans.
Deyun Society was not in trouble, and Lao Guo could still write well, and good works came out from time to time.
After Deyun Society became famous, Lao Guo gradually became the person he hated before.
Even his disciples have some who look more feminine.
He is in his thirties and speaks with a soft voice.
That's right, that's what I'm saying...
The fundamental reason, in addition to capital trends, is that people are becoming more and more impetuous.
So Xu Zhou's goal is very simple. He can't change the entertainment pattern of the original time and space, but he can change the entertainment pattern of this world.
He has changed a lot and will continue to change completely.
After negotiating the terms, the meal was quite enjoyable.
Before going to the capital, Xu Zhou wants to finish recording "The King of Masked Singer".
As for "The Voice of Daxia", Xu Zhou can just leave it to others.
The next day, Li Ming returned to the capital.
Although several other deputy directors in the station had reservations about Li Ming's selection of Xu Zhou as the general director of the Spring Festival Gala, in the end, CCTV officially agreed to let Xu Zhou serve as the general director of the Spring Festival Gala, but it was kept secret for the time being and no official announcement was made.
As for Xu Zhou, he is preparing for the recording of the second episode of "The King of Masked Singer".
on site.
Xu Zhou asked people to debug the equipment.
Also sitting in the audience was Su Luoxi.
In the second episode, she did not have to appear, but appeared as an audience member. No one would have thought that Luo Xi was the little fox.
The four judges have already taken their seats, and once the equipment is adjusted, the official recording can begin!
But at this moment, a staff member behind the scenes hurried over and whispered to Xu Zhou: "Director Xu, something went wrong."
"What's the problem?" Xu Zhou asked calmly.
"There is a player who wants to get an additional 300,000 yuan in appearance fees."
"Who?" Xu Zhou didn't show any displeasure, but asked very calmly.
"Xiao Meiyi." The staff member said very depressedly.
Xu Zhou stopped what he was doing and said to her: "Let's go, I'll go talk to her about the appearance fee."
Xu Zhou had heard about asking the organizer for an increase in appearance fees before an appearance.
To be honest, this kind of celebrity artist is quite tasteless.
The appearance fee is agreed in advance and even has a contract.
But some celebrities are confident.
Because they will use not showing up as a threat.
If the organizer does not increase the appearance fee, they will not appear.
The event is about to be held and celebrities will not appear, which will definitely cause huge losses to the organizer. In this case, the organizer can only agree to the celebrity's request and increase their appearance fees.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Similar things happen not only in the entertainment industry, but also in other industries.
But Xu Zhou never thought that he would encounter such a thing.
Xu Zhou had never dealt with Xiao Meiyi before.
But I understand, I definitely understand.
Xiao Meiyi is only 27 years old this year, but she has already appeared in many TV series, and most of them are one girl and one girl.
The acting is okay, not bad.
And this person has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage for four consecutive years.
I haven't heard any negative news before, otherwise Xu Zhou would not agree to the program team letting her participate in "The King of Masked Singer".
Xu Zhou and the staff came to the dressing room backstage.
Inside, Xiao Meiran was sitting in front of the makeup mirror. She had already put on makeup. Next to her was the mask she was going to wear today - a peacock.
The mask is very nice and lifelike.
In the dressing room, besides Xiao Meiyi, there was also her agent and assistant Zhao Ran, a woman in her thirties.
After seeing Xu Zhou come in.
Xiao Meiyi sat calmly in front of the makeup mirror, looking as if nothing had happened.
She was not an artist from Qingcheng, not from the same company, and would have to pay more appearance fees temporarily. Xiao Meiyi was not afraid of offending Xu Zhou, and worried that she would not be able to survive in the entertainment industry in the future.
She is also related.
Seeing Xu Zhou coming, assistant Zhao Ran smiled and said to Xu Zhou: "Director Xu, our Meiyi is not a transparent person in the industry. I feel that the appearance fee of 600,000 is a bit inconsistent with her status, so the appearance fee
, I hope the program team can mention it."
Xu Zhou smiled and said, "How many do you want to mention?"
Hearing Xu Zhou ask this, Zhao Ran thought it was Xu Zhou who wanted to agree to their conditions.
She said: "It's not much, just 300,000 yuan. This time Meiyi turned down an advertisement in order to record "The King of Masked Singer"."
Zhao Ran only mentioned it today on purpose.
Three hundred thousand is not a big sum for Qing Cheng. Xu Zhou will definitely agree to it for the smooth recording of the show.
And he promised that after the recording of the program is over, the program team will not spread the matter out.
It would also be bad for the reputation of the program team if it was revealed.
But Xu Zhou is not an ordinary person.
How could he spoil such a celebrity artist when he met him?
Xu Zhou laughed and said: "What if the program team doesn't increase the appearance fee?"
Zhao Ran put away his smile and said, "Then we will definitely not be able to attend the recording."
Xu Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, since you don't want to participate in the recording of the program, you don't have to participate in the recording and you can leave."
Afterwards, Xu Zhou said to the staff behind him: "Xiaozhou, let me inform the scene and change today's recording plan. Only four contestants will appear. In addition, let the publicity department publish the surveillance of this dressing room so that netizens can appreciate the entertainment industry."
The faces of certain stars."
Xiaozhou reacted, nodded quickly, and wanted to leave to give instructions.
But Xiao Meiyi and Zhao Ran were shocked.
Xu Zhou, you don’t have any tricks at all.
There is surveillance in the dressing room?
But why didn't they notice it just now?
But they can't gamble on this kind of thing.
If she really wanted to expose what happened in the dressing room, wouldn't she, Xiao Meiyi, be trolled to death by netizens?
She knew that it was unreasonable to temporarily ask the program team to increase the appearance fee.
But thinking that three hundred thousand is nothing to Qingcheng.
Even if Xu Zhou was unhappy, he would hold his nose and give the money to himself. After all, the program was about to be recorded. Neither Xu Zhou nor the program team wanted to delay the normal recording of the program because of a mere thirty minutes.
Who knew that Xu Zhou didn't want to say anything unnecessary and had no room for maneuver.
Xiao Meiyi was dumbfounded.
Zhao Ran reacted and immediately took Xu Zhou's arm. His attitude became very gentle and said: "Director Xu, Director Xu, if you have something to say, please say it. Don't be angry. If you have something to say, please say it. Don't expose it."
The staff Xiaozhou also stopped.
Xu Zhou looked at Zhao Ran and said with a cold face: "Now that I know I have something to say, why are there so many bugs like you in the entertainment industry?"
Facing Xu Zhou's scolding, although Xiao Meiyi was angry in her heart, she did not dare to show it and could only endure it.
I was afraid that Xu Zhouzhen would expose the surveillance.
Xiao Meiyi's request for extra appearance fees on the spot was indeed very disgusting and very mentally retarded, but some celebrities do it very easily.
It's just too bloated.
If you think you are a star, you can make any conditions you want.
Some celebrities even dare to drive the wrong way on the road and throw garbage.
This has all been exposed.
I don’t know how many things have not been exposed...
This time, it’s also my fault that the program team didn’t do a good job of screening and actually invited celebrities like Xiao Meiyi to participate in the program.
Seeing that Xu Zhou was still angry, Zhao Ran quickly apologized: "Director Xu, it was my fault just now. It has nothing to do with Meiyi. It was all my idea. I wanted to ask for more appearance fees. Meiyi has always disagreed. Xu
Director, let Meiyi appear to record the program, don't delay the recording of the program."
Xiao Meiyi also said eagerly: "Director Xu, it's like this. I can go on stage to record and monitor it right away. Please don't expose it."
Xu Zhou smiled and said: "You can continue recording, but Qingcheng will not give you a penny in franchise fees. You will appear for free this time. After all, you don't want the video to be exposed, right?"
Xu Zhou suddenly felt like he was a bad guy in a neon movie.
"Madam, you don't want your husband to lose his job, right?"
Xiao Meiyi and Zhao Ran looked at each other, feeling like they were stealing the chicken but losing the rice.
But now that the matter has come to this, what can they do?
I can only give up the 600,000 franchise fee that I agreed on before and become a free worker.
Zhao Ran said with a smile: "I am lucky enough to be able to participate in Xu Zhou's show. There is no franchise fee to talk about. We will appear for free."
Xu Zhou saw through that this agent was an eggplant and needed help from others.
Xu Zhou deliberately said to him: "Actually, I just made a joke to you. How can we, Qingcheng, install surveillance cameras in such a celebrity dressing room?"
Zhao Ran's face changed slightly.
Just about to get angry.
Xu Zhou waved the mobile phone in his hand and said, "But I have a recording."
Zhao Ran's expression changed again.
Can we stop playing?
Seeing the "ugly" expressions on Xiao Meiyi and Zhao Ran's faces, Xu Zhou said with satisfaction: "Okay, get ready and go on stage to record."
Leave the dressing room.
Xiao Zhou looked at Xu Zhou with admiration and asked curiously: "Director Xu, did you really record them just now?"
Xu Zhou smiled and said: "To deal with such a person, there is no need to record."
Xiaozhou asked again: "Director Xu, do you want to give the judges a shout and eliminate Xiao Meiyi later?"
Xu Zhou shook his head and said, "No, if she wasn't so stupid, she would have eliminated herself."
...
Recording starts.
Xu Zhou returned to the stage as if nothing happened.
The recording of the second episode of "The King of Masked Singer" has begun, and Peacock Xiao Meiyi is the first to appear.
It was just as Xu Zhou expected.
After this person appeared on the stage, his performance was a bit abnormal, so he was not recognized by several judges and received very low scores.
When all the contestants took the stage, Xiao Meiyi was indeed eliminated.
Moreover, she did not choose to take off the noodles.
Another contestant chose to pick noodles instead.
I saw that the peacock didn't even take off its noodles.
The judges and the audience were all very surprised.
This player actually chose not to take off his face?
Then why did she come to the show?
Just go on stage to sing?
This doesn’t look like it either~
Which star doesn't do it for fame and traffic?
Even if you are eliminated, you will still get a lot of attention from the audience after being eliminated.
This contestant didn't take off his face, but it really surprised the audience.
After this episode aired, # contestants don’t take off their faces even became a hot search topic.
Except for this period, some players tried to make trouble at the beginning, but the recording of the next few periods was relatively smooth.
After the two periods are over, another group of contestants will record two periods.
The fifth program is the recording of Group A's six to three rounds.
These six players are the little fox Su Luoxi, the skull Han Xiao, the tiger Zhang Suning, and three other players.
This time, Xu Zhou still prepared a new song for Han Xiao.
But this song is not Li Yugang's, but Zhang Xinzhe's.
Yes, it’s the prince of love songs, Simon Chang.
There are so many representative works of his that there is no need to go into details. At least one song, "Excessive", should be familiar to everyone.
How can I bear to blame you for making a mistake?
I went too far in giving you freedom
make you lonelier
~
Even if you can't remember the complete lyrics of this song, at least the sentence "I gave you freedom to go too far" in it. If you like listening to songs, ninety-nine out of a hundred people should know it.
How popular was Zhang Xinzhe at that time?
When participating in an event in 1990, Zhang Xinzhe stayed in the lounge. Crazy fans came to surround the lounge, and this "siege" was three floors inside and three outside. The fans kept shouting and slapping the lounge.
Doors and windows, some even started crying!
Dozens of security guards could not stop the enthusiastic fans.
This level of popularity is much stronger than Brother Chicken!
Although the fans were too fanatical at the time, Leslie Cheung was really capable and had many works, including golden songs and the Best Male Singer. What did Chicken Brother have?
He has chicken feathers!
Xu Zhou and Su Luoxi have released several albums, but they have never used any of Zhang Xinzhe's works.
Jay Chou and Eason Chan's songs are used more often.
However, the new song Xu Zhou gave Han Xiao was not "Overdone", but was written by someone else.
On the stage, Han Xiao shocked the whole audience as soon as he opened his mouth.
Everyone didn't expect that this skull was actually a new song!
The key is, this new song is still so good!
The four judges gave him the highest score directly!
As for Luo Xi, she simply sang "Once Upon a Time", which fit her mask very well.
Although it's not a new song, it has a nice sound.
The score is not low either.
The recording ended successfully.
In the blink of an eye.
The fifth episode of "The King of Masked Singer" has begun airing.
Many netizens are looking forward to this issue.
Because this period is the sixth to third round of Group A, the competition is even more intense!
And in the trailer, the program team told everyone that Skull will also bring new songs.
So everyone's expectations are high.
In the first episode, Skull's song "Wanjiang" made everyone full of enthusiasm. Although the subsequent episodes were equally exciting, they lacked such explosive points as Skull.
In this issue, the skull appears again, and everyone is naturally looking forward to it.
Of course, there is also a very cute little fox.
This time, Su Luoxi's "Fairy Tale Town" will be sung, which made everyone start to compare.
I want to see which one is better, this little fox, or Su Luoxi.
It's just that no one can figure out that this little fox could be Su Luoxi himself!
As soon as the fifth episode of "The King of Masked Singer" started airing, there were a lot of comments from the audience in the live broadcast room.
"Squeeze in front and get peanut and melon seed mineral water!"
"Grab a sofa and call the boss 666."
"I heard that Skull has a new song. Such an awesome person is definitely not an unknown person in the entertainment industry."
"I don't care who the skull is, I just look forward to the appearance of the little fox."
"The little fox dared to sing Su Luoxi's song. His courage is commendable. I wonder if Su Luoxi is here today."
"Probably not. Su Luoxi only appeared in the audience in the second episode, and she was not found in the next two episodes."
The show begins.
The first one to appear was not Su Luoxi or the skull-headed Han Xiao, but other players.
Next up was Tiger Zhang Suning.
This player is also quite popular.
As soon as he appeared on the stage wearing a mask, the audience cheered.
Everyone has a deep impression of this player.
Wait for Zhang Suning to end.
The third one to appear is the skull-headed Han Xiao!
As soon as he appeared, there were obviously more barrages on the screen than before.
The skull is a popular player!
At this time, information about the song Han Xiao was about to sing appeared on the screen.
