After asking this question, Link felt a little uneasy.
He knew that his request was somewhat excessive.
Xu Zhou is a big shot, but he is just an unknown grassroots.
After performing in a small theater for such a long time, I have gained a little fame in Kang County.
But outside Kang County, who knows about me?
Xu Zhou traveled thousands of miles to come to this small county to watch his performance in person. He personally invited himself to the Spring Festival Gala, which had already given him a great deal of face.
He actually had to put up conditions to bring his partner to the Spring Festival Gala. To put it bluntly, he was a little pushy or ignorant.
But Link didn't want to give up his partner and go solo.
After asking this question, Link lowered his head in embarrassment, fearing that Director Xu would be unhappy and say something ungrateful to him.
But such a thing did not happen.
Xu Zhou just smiled and asked: "This partner of yours is the actress who performed with you today?"
Link immediately raised his head, and said with some restraint and some expectancy: "Yes, my partner is called Zhou Mengyue, the typhoon is more stable than mine. Sometimes I forget my words on the stage, and she can come back to me. We have already
We have been working together for a long time and there is a good understanding between the two."
Xu Zhou has seen their previous performances.
Zhou Mengyue looks a little careless, but her acting skills are really good.
It is indeed rare for a small theater to have such two outstanding comedians.
Xu Zhou is not that kind of strict person.
He said: "Yes, as long as she has no problem with her performance, you two can act in this script."
Therefore, Xu Zhou agreed to Link's request.
The beauty of adulthood is that Xu Zhou is not a bad person.
Again.
While watching the performance at the theater, Xu Zhou always felt that there was a light in Zhou Mengyue's eyes when he looked at Link.
It’s not just as simple as a partner!
Link was overjoyed, and his favorable impression of Xu Zhou skyrocketed.
He didn't expect that Xu Zhou would agree so happily to his somewhat difficult condition.
Xu Zhou came to Kang County this time not only to take Link to the Spring Festival Gala, but also to sign him to Qingcheng Entertainment.
The huge number of movies in Xu Zhou’s mind always need people to star in them, especially comedy movies!
Once Link is signed, movies such as "Charlotte" and "The Tomato Man", or even "Crazy Aliens" and "Walking on the Moon" can all be arranged.
Link wanted to tell Zhou Mengyue the good news now.
But then, Xu Zhou's next news shocked Link again.
He only heard Xu Zhou say: "Link, are you interested in joining Qingcheng?"
Link suspected that he had stepped on dog poop when he went out today, and that was not the end of it. A piece of pie fell on his head from the sky!
Xu Zhou actually invited himself to join Qingcheng, of course he was interested!
"Director Xu, I am interested in joining Qingcheng!"
The conversation that followed was more pleasant.
Although Xu Zhou represented Qingcheng, the conditions offered to Link were not harsh. At least they were much more generous than the contracts offered to newcomers by other entertainment companies.
He is not an unscrupulous capitalist who only exploits newcomers.
Xu Zhou said that if he can go to the Spring Festival Gala, then he can definitely go to the Spring Festival Gala.
So Link became interested in the sketch script Xu Zhou mentioned, and he asked: "Director Xu, what is the general content of the sketch script you mentioned? Can I know it in advance?"
Xu Zhou said: "I will give you the prestige and send you the script to read."
"Okay." Link said happily.
After the two gained prestige, Xu Zhou sent the sketch script he wrote to Link.
Link clicked on it and saw the words "help or not" at the beginning.
This skit was a 2014 Spring Festival Gala skit in the original time and space.
The content is mainly related to "Pengci".
The topic of touching porcelain will never go out of style.
Even today, there are many old people doing porcelain on the road.
Link read line by line.
The more I read, the more I admire Xu Zhou.
There are a lot of laughs in the script, the jokes are not cliche, and the ending is not sensational. This is definitely a good sketch script.
Link has a hunch that this sketch book will definitely be popular on the Spring Festival Gala stage!
In other words, you can also get angry!
After reading the electronic script, Link admired Xu Zhou and said, "Director Xu, your script is so good. I feel that none of the sketches in the Spring Festival Gala can compare to your script."
Link is not trying to flatter Xu Zhou.
Although this sketch is not the best in the original time and space, it is excellent enough compared with other sketches in this world.
He Shuyi had already read the script of "To Help or Not to Help" on the plane.
Although I have worked with Xu Zhou for a long time.
But after reading the script, He Shuyi still admired Xu Zhou's imagination.
But not all writers can write a funny sketch script.
Novels and sketches are two completely different fields.
Xu Zhou said to Link: "You will play the role of Hao Jian in the sketch. I will discuss it with Zhou Mengyue first, but do not let more people know the content of the sketch. It must be kept secret until the Spring Festival Gala."
Link nodded quickly and said: "Director Xu, don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret!"
...
When he came out of the hotel, Link was still immersed in excitement!
I am going to the Spring Festival Gala, and I am going to join Green Orange!
This good news must be told to his girlfriend and Zhou Mengyue!
He took out his cell phone and wanted to call his girlfriend immediately.
But as soon as Link took out his phone, his phone rang.
When he saw it, it was his girlfriend calling him.
Link couldn't help but smile, and then quickly answered.
What was he just about to say?
Then I heard my girlfriend on the other end of the phone say: "Link, I'm sorry, I didn't go to your show today."
Link said nonchalantly: "Xiao Leng, it's nothing. By the way, I have good news for you. Do you know who came to my performance today? The name..."
But Link hasn't finished speaking yet.
His girlfriend interrupted: "Link, let's break up."
separate?
Link was confused.
Is my girlfriend kidding me?
He actually broke up with himself?
He hurriedly said: "Xiao Leng, what are you talking about? Are you kidding me?"
"Link, I'm not joking, I'm serious. Let's break up. We have to learn to recognize the reality. You really can't give me the life I want. If this continues, we will just drag each other down."
Link felt that his girlfriend's voice had become a little strange and emotionless.
He still wanted to save his relationship.
He said: "Xiao Leng, I can give you the life you want! I can go to the Spring Festival Gala, and I can also join Qingcheng Entertainment. Did you know? Today Director Xu Zhouxu came to see my performance in person. He said that he would let me
I will be on the Spring Festival Gala and will tailor-make movies for me in the future! I will become popular soon!"
Link told his girlfriend everything about today.
But Link's girlfriend said: "Link, this joke is not funny at all. Let's leave it like that. If you can make a movie in the future, I will go and support it. Let's forget it between the two of us."
After saying that, Link's girlfriend hung up the phone.
When Link called again, he found that he had been blocked.
Link looked back at the towering four-star hotel.
He suddenly wanted to laugh.
My career is improving, but my girlfriend breaks up with me. Is this a tragic comedy in life?
Xu Zhou doesn't care about Link's feelings.
After finalizing Lin Ke's attendance at the Spring Festival Gala, Xu Zhou and He Shu also went to the capital.
The day after arriving in Beijing, CCTV officially announced the director team headed by Xu Zhou.
Xu Zhou serves as the chief director, and He Shu also serves as the deputy director!
As soon as the news was announced, it quickly caused a sensation in Daxia.
Letting Xu Zhou serve as the general director of the Spring Festival Gala is definitely something that many people did not expect!
There is constant discussion on the Internet.
The news that Xu Zhou was appointed as the general director of the Spring Festival Gala became a trending topic in a very short period of time.
Xu Zhou and Spring Festival Gala are both hot words.
When the two come together, it will only inspire more topics!
"If it hadn't been officially announced by CCTV, I would have thought today was April Fool's Day!"
"Damn it, CCTV asked Xu Zhou to be the general director of the Spring Festival Gala. This is a big move!"
"This year's Spring Festival Gala is interesting and worth looking forward to."
"It's hard to say if I'm not optimistic about it. The Spring Festival Gala is hopeless. Even if the King of Heaven comes, it won't be of any use, let alone Xu Zhou."
"I agree with you upstairs, Xu Zhou is very strong, but the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is just a sinkhole. Whoever comes is screwed. Over the years of the Spring Festival Gala, there have been so many directors, including some famous directors. What is the result? The show is still rubbish!
"
"Sigh, Xu Zhou's reputation will probably be ruined on the Spring Festival Gala stage."
"Are you so dismissive of Xu Zhou? What if he surprises us?"
"If you want to talk about novels, songs or TV series, I believe in Xu Zhou unconditionally, but the Spring Festival Gala... is there any year where you are not criticized?"
"That's right. If Xu Zhou doesn't talk about writing novels well and making music well, why would he come to the muddy waters of the Spring Festival Gala?"
"How long has it been since Xu Zhou published a new book? Don't you have a number in your mind? How long has it been since "Soldier Assault" was finished? How long has it been since the TV series was finished? It's totally unreasonable that Xu Zhou hasn't published a new book yet!"
On the Internet, most people are not optimistic about Xu Zhou's Spring Festival Gala, and many netizens are urging Xu Zhou to write a new book.
Xu Zhou has indeed not published a new book for a long time, and netizens are urging Xu Zhou to publish a new book every day.
But Xu Zhou will not release new books before the Spring Festival.
After the Spring Festival, I can actually arrange my new books.
In the hotel.
Xu Zhou is video chatting with Su Luoxi.
Su Luoxi has just arrived in Chongqing and has not officially joined the crew yet.
Su Luoxi was lying on the bed in her pajamas, with her cell phone directly in front of her.
Through the video, Xu Zhou could see Su Luoxi's beautiful and delicate jade-like face, as well as the faint hint of snow-white.
"Xu Zhou, it's been so hot in Chongqing in recent days. It's like there are two suns in the sky. I heard from the director that it hasn't rained in Chongqing for more than half a month. The crew originally planned to start work tomorrow, but tomorrow the high temperature will be nearly 4
Shidu, the director asked the crew to rest for two more days."
The weather in Sichuan and Chongqing has been a bit abnormal recently.
Xu Zhou watched the news. In order to escape the heat, some people went to caves and ancient tombs on the mountains to enjoy the cool air.
The weather in Beijing is not bad, not too hot.
Xu Zhou said to Su Luoxi: "Let Sister Jing prepare more medicine to relieve the heat. It will be painful to film in Yuzhou at this time."
Su Luoxi took a sip of the drink handed over by Zhang Jing and said: "The director said that if it's not possible, we can only shoot the night scenes first, but the high temperature will only last a few days. It will be cooler in Chongqing next week."
Zhang Jing joked beside her: "It's really hot here, and Xu Zhou's place is also very hot. His temperature is not much lower than that here in Chongqing."
Zhang Jing was talking about Xu Zhou’s appointment as the general director of the Spring Festival Gala, which caused a stir on the Internet.
Su Luoxi said to Xu Zhou: "Xu Zhou, today some people in our crew group are discussing your becoming the general director of the Spring Festival Gala. No matter what people say on the Internet, I believe that you will definitely direct this Spring Festival Gala well!"
Su Luoxi is the most confident person in Xu Zhou.
Xu Zhou said: "Luo Xi, I will arrange a program for you this Spring Festival Gala. If you appear on the Spring Festival Gala, I will be more confident."
Su Luoxi smiled sweetly and said, "Okay."
…
Xu Zhou's work at CCTV is on the right track.
The next day, Xu Zhou met with the main staff of the Spring Festival Gala program team.
Including the heads of various project departments such as stage, equipment, costumes, props, logistics, etc.
Regarding Xu Zhou's appointment as the general director of the Spring Festival Gala, CCTV's internal opinions are not particularly strong.
These project leaders are quite convinced of Xu Zhou's abilities.
Although this is Xu Zhou’s first time directing the Spring Festival Gala.
However, after Xu Zhou finished speaking, many people at the scene had some doubts about Xu Zhou.
Because Xu Zhou said: "This Spring Festival Gala, a total of thirty-eight programs have been designed. I am responsible for all the content of these programs. Whether it is songs or language programs, everyone only needs to do the stage costumes and logistics."
As soon as Xu Zhou said this, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Xu Zhou actually had to be responsible for thirty-eight programs by himself?
Is it possible?
Everyone admits that Xu Zhou is awesome, but the Spring Festival Gala stage includes not only singing and dancing sketches, but also acrobatics, magic and opera. Is Xu Zhou good at these things?
A staff member immediately said: "Director Xu, you said that you are responsible for all thirty-eight programs. Do you still need someone to be responsible for the scripts of language programs and the content design of acrobatics and magic?"
Xu Zhou shook his head and said: "No, I will take care of all this. What everyone has to do is to make the props, costumes and stage according to my show."
Staff from various departments looked at each other.
Xu Zhou can also do acrobatics and magic?
Xu Zhou Lai is responsible for everything, can he do it?
But Xu Zhou is the chief director, so everyone can only nod in agreement.
No matter what kind of show Xu Zhou puts on, they just need to make good costumes and props.
However, as soon as the meeting ended, Li Ming, the deputy director of CCTV, found Xu Zhou.
In the office, Li Ming first made Xu Zhou a cup of tea, and then asked: "Xu Zhou, I heard them say that you will be responsible for all the thirty-eight programs of this Spring Festival Gala from beginning to end?"
When Xu Zhoulai was invited to be the chief director, the two of them did not discuss this topic.
Li Ming was a little surprised when he heard the news from other people just now.
Xu Zhou’s steps are a bit big!
It sounds really shocking, but if you don't do it well, you can easily get yourself into trouble.
This is not a stage for companies to hold small programs, this is the Spring Festival Gala that the whole people are paying attention to!
Whenever a program is not done well, it will attract complaints or criticism from everyone.
Xu Zhou is actually responsible for all thirty-eight programs, which is incredible.
But Xu Zhou said very calmly: "Director Li, it's like this. I will be responsible for the thirty-eight programs myself, and the station will do a good job of cooperating. Give me a few days, and I will finish the program content."
, as well as the main performers.”
Li Ming asked curiously: "Do you know magic and acrobatics? You can also write sketches and crosstalk scripts? Are you good at dancing too?"
Xu Zhou said: "I do know how to dance. I can also write skits and cross talk books. As for magic and acrobatics, I also know a little bit about it."
"You can also do magic?" Li Ming was even more surprised by Xu Zhou.
Xu Zhou stood up, came to Li Ming and said, "Director Li, why are there roses behind you?"
Li Ming turned around subconsciously and saw nothing?!
But before he could react, he turned around and saw that Xu Zhou already had several bright roses in his hand.
Li Ming was really surprised now!
How did Xu Zhou change?
But before he could ask any questions, Xu Zhou gently shook his hand, and the roses in his hands turned into several bananas.
Li Ming's eyes changed again and again, and the expression on his face was wonderful.
After a while, Li Ming asked in shock: "Xu Zhou, how did you change?"
Xu Zhou handed Li Ming a banana and said, "Director Li, please eat a banana first to calm down the shock."
Li Ming got the banana handed over by Xu Zhou, squeezed it with his hands, peeled the banana peel with mixed emotions, and took a bite.
Yes, it is indeed a real banana.
Li Ming asked Xu Zhou again: "Xu Zhou, how did you change?"
Xu Zhou said nonchalantly: "That's what magic is all about. It mainly depends on the props and techniques. In fact, to put it bluntly, magic is all deceptive. Director Li should know that the magic on the stage is actually the work of the prop master and
A performance between the two.”
Li Ming nodded, naturally agreeing with Xu Zhou's statement.
Maybe the skill Zhou showed just now was more than just props and techniques, right?
Where did Xu Zhou get these flowers and bananas?
Where did you hide just now?
I didn't talk about magic before, but Xu Zhou just changed these two things.
He can't carry these things with him, can he?
Li Ming looked Xu Zhou up and down, wanting to touch Xu Zhou's body to see if there was any mystery.
Xu Zhou waved his hand again, and the fruit in his hand disappeared immediately, leaving only the one in Li Ming's hand.
"Xu Zhou, your skills are amazing! I think you can perform magic tricks!" Seeing Xu Zhou's performance, Li Ming was almost shocked to the point of dropping his jaw.
Xu Zhou laughed and said: "I don't perform, so I'll find a professional magician to provide content. I'm just a magic enthusiast, but I'm not really good at it."
Li Ming couldn't help but complain: "Are you not good at this? I feel like some people who claim to be magic masters can't match your skills. Xu Zhou, you are too fast!"
