October 13th, noon, a coffee shop in Yanjing

When Ye Fan arrived, Wang Jinghua and Chen Yulu were already in a small box, drinking coffee and chatting like petty bourgeoisie.

Seeing Ye Fan come in, Chen Yulu smiled and said: "Xiao Fan, you are here. I ordered you a cup of cappuccino. Sit down and have a try."

Ye Fan's expression was exaggerated and he said: "Wow, this promotion and salary increase are different. I even drank coffee."

"What you're saying is, I've treated you so many times before, but you only came once. Who's to blame? I've already contributed a lot of money to your father's shop."

Seeing Chen Yulu rolling her eyes at him, Ye Fan was not embarrassed.

"Sister Chen, you also know that I am busy. My dad also told me that you often go to the store. So, you can choose a time and I will treat you to dinner."

Chen Yulu then showed a satisfied smile and said: "That's pretty much it. Then it's Friday. I'll let you rest on Saturday."

"Okay, it's settled then. When the time comes, we'll call Brother Tong and Sister Tao, so we can get together."

Chen Yulu agreed with a smile, and then chatted with Ye Fan about her parents without getting into the topic right away. After all, they were all old acquaintances.

The benefits of Ye Fan being on "Variety Show" before are now reflected, because Chen Yulu is now the producer of "Variety Show" and this year was appointed as the chief director of the 1999 Spring Festival Gala directing team!

Ye Fan has been on "Variety Show" many times, and the top executives of the show have been attracted by him for a long time, so the relationship between the two can be said to be very good.

In addition, Ye Fan helped the basic ratings of "Variety Show" increase a lot, and Chen Yulu also gained a lot of political achievements.

She also understood in her heart who made this show attract more attention, so she naturally admired and loved Ye Fan very much.

The previous disaster relief performance in August was directed by Chen Yulu, and the first artist she wanted to invite was Ye Fan.

But Ye Fan didn't have time, so he told Chen Yulu his true thoughts. Chen Yulu understood very well and didn't force anything.

So Ye Fan didn't go, and Chen Yulu not only didn't say anything, but even spoke for Ye Fan. This shows the relationship between the two.

Ye Fan's previous PY... ahem, the network of contacts he established has played an increasingly important role as time goes by.

The director of "Variety Show" Zhu Tong is also a member of the directing team of next year's Spring Festival Gala. It can be said that many of the directing team of next year's Spring Festival Gala are people from the "Variety Show" program.

What's the difference between Ye Fan attending next year's Spring Festival Gala and "Variety Show"? Aren't they all his own? The treatment is absolutely top-notch!

After chatting for a while, Chen Yulu started to get down to business.

"Next year's Spring Festival Gala, you won't reject me again, right? This time I'm here to invite you personally."

Faced with Chen Yulu's teasing, the shameless Ye Fan remained unmoved and said with a smile: "How is it possible? Sister Chen, you came here in person, I have to promise you."

However, Ye Fan still underestimated the leaders within the system. Chen Yulu guessed that Ye Fan would not refuse to attend the Spring Festival Gala.

As the chief director, she personally came to Ye Fan, and of course her purpose could not be just this.

"That's good, but you rejected me from the disaster relief performance before. Do you have to compensate me?"

Ye Fan was stunned when he heard the words. These words sounded very ambiguous. Could it be that this 40-year-old lady wanted to make unspoken rules for him? There was no way Ye Fan would agree to it. It would be almost the same if it were Zhou Tao.

Seeing that Ye Fan was confused, Chen Yulu smiled and said: "You haven't been on "Variety Show" for a long time. Next time you release an album to promote, you have to come to my sister's show a few more times. Is that okay?"

It turned out that Chen Yulu wanted him to go to "Variety Show" a few more times in the future. Only then did Ye Fan realize that he was too dirty and thought too much...

After reacting, Ye Fan smiled and said: "That's no problem. If I want to release an album, I will definitely go to your show."

Chen Yulu nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "There is one more thing I want to discuss with you. The song and MV of "Light" are both very good."

"The Forbidden City wants to use this song as a promotional song, and wants to buy the copyright to use your song. The relevant leaders asked me to ask you to see if the price can be cheaper. It would be best to buy it out directly."

Ye Fan was stunned again when he heard this. Are the copyright awareness of relevant government leaders so good these days? But such a large department and tourist attraction still lack this little money?

After reacting, Ye Fan asked Chen Yulu his doubts.

After her explanation, Ye Fan realized that it was Chen Peisi who had caused a big impact due to the copyright issue of his sketch.

He doesn't want to go to the Spring Festival Gala next year, just to clarify this matter.

In addition, the dog that Ye Fan showed outside... his strong temper was even worse than that of Teacher Chen, and Ye Fan's current reputation was much greater than that of Teacher Chen.

Therefore, the relevant yamen and the Forbidden City had learned from the past, and just in case, they asked Chen Yulu, who had a better relationship with Ye Fan, to discuss the copyright issue.

But in terms of price, I definitely want it to be cheaper.

After hearing the whole story, Ye Fan said with a smile: "So that's it, but even if you buy it out, I can license it to them for free. But in the future I need to go to the Forbidden City to film, I hope they can be more accommodating."

Hearing this, Chen Yulu thought for a moment and said, "I can't make a decision on this. All I can say is to feed the situation back to the relevant leaders and let them make a decision."

Ye Fan nodded. In his opinion, this plan can benefit both parties, but public institutions must go through a process.

The few of them chatted for a while, and Chen Yulu asked Ye Fan to decide on the songs to be sung for the Spring Festival Gala as soon as possible, then reported to the Spring Festival Gala directing team and left.

After seeing off Chen Yulu, Ye Fan was not in a hurry to leave. He was thinking about what song would be better to sing at next year's Spring Festival Gala.

There are many songs in "Light Chaser" that are suitable for the Spring Festival Gala, but this makes Ye Fan suffer from difficulty in choosing again. Choosing this song but not that one makes Ye Fan regretful and entangled.

It would be great if he could sing two songs. If not, it would be okay to have a "Song Collection", at least it would save Ye Fan from having to choose so much.

However, after Wang Jinghua knew what Ye Fan was thinking, he made a suggestion that made his eyes light up. If there were so many songs and it was difficult to choose, why not just rewrite a song and perform it on the Spring Festival Gala like "Meet 98"!

Ye Fan thought this proposal was very good, and it reminded him of a song

That is the Spring Festival divine song "Gong Xi Fa Cai"!

How festive and popular is this song? It can be said that as long as the Spring Festival is celebrated every year in future generations, this song will be indispensable.

Anyway, Ye Fan remembers that after this song came out in 2005, until the Chinese New Year in 2022, this song was still played non-stop in his hometown village!

Not only do many programs use this song as the soundtrack, but during the Chinese New Year, you can hear this song when you walk into the supermarket door, not to mention the new opening of a shopping mall or store, this song is indispensable.

Therefore, this song is very suitable for the festive day of the Spring Festival. Performed live on the Spring Festival Gala, the festive feeling will definitely make Ye Fan feel good about the elderly.

In addition, when Andy was writing this song, a major earthquake occurred in South Asia. In addition to supporting the disaster area, Andy also got some inspiration to write this song.

There are floods this year. Singing such festive songs can also put the affected people in a good mood for the New Year.

This song was released in 2005. Andy felt that Liu Xiang won the Olympic Games in 2004, so he specially added a lyric to encourage him.

Therefore, if Ye Fan wrote this song, the lyrics in it would need to be adjusted. It would be better to change it to lyrics that bless the people affected by the disaster.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan couldn't sit still anymore. He said hello to Wang Jinghua and went back to school. He planned to take time to write out the music score and record a demo as soon as possible and send it to the director team...

The next day, Chen Yulu received the song DEMO sent by Ye Fan. She was very surprised when she saw the DEMO.

Because this means that Ye Fan did not intend to use the old song, but wrote a new song overnight!

Although she was very curious, Chen Yulu did not doubt the quality of the song. After all, Ye Fan's reputation was there. She turned on the TV and listened to it with the members of the directing team.

"I congratulate you on getting rich

I congratulate you on your wonderful

The best please come

If it's not good, please go away

Oh, it’s not surprising that there are so many people..."

After hearing this, Chen Yulu looked satisfied and immediately praised: "Xiao Fan can really surprise people!"

"I thought he would choose a song from "Light Chaser", but I didn't expect him to choose a new song! The key is that this song sounds so festive and fits the Spring Festival atmosphere very well."

Zhu Tong agreed: "Yes, the lyrics of this song are cute, catchy, and the melody is cheerful. It sounds full of New Year flavor. There is no other song more suitable for the Spring Festival than this song!"

Others also agreed and thought this song was very festive and suitable to be sung on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

So "Gong Xi Fa Cai" was successfully selected as one of the Spring Festival Gala programs, and it is a program that will never be replaced!

…

On the 15th, the relevant yamen also received a reply and agreed to Ye Fan's proposal.

On the condition of free use of "Light", Ye Fan's application to film in the Forbidden City was given the green light.

Of course, you still have to pay the venue rental fee.

After Ye Fan learned the news, he had no objection to the venue fee and quickly asked Wang Jinghua to sign a relevant contract with the Forbidden City in the name of Chaoyang Company to avoid long nights and dreams.

After all, how much is the copyright fee and venue fee for a song worth? But how many crews will be able to film in the Forbidden City in the future? Such invisible resources cannot be bought with money!

Think about it, if some big drama groups knew that Chaoyang Company could apply to film in the Forbidden City, they would definitely come to them. Wouldn't Ye Fan have a reason to invest or intervene?

No matter how bad it is, you can still exchange benefits, exchange some resources or plug in a few actors. This is much more valuable than taking dozens or millions at a time!

On October 16, the Spring Festival Gala director team and the relevant yamen announced the news related to Ye Fan, and came out to make him popular.

Many people are not surprised by the news that Ye Fan will be on next year's Spring Festival Gala. They would be surprised if Ye Fan can't attend.

Ye Fan's previous performance in the Spring Festival Gala has been witnessed by everyone. Coupled with Ye Fan's status as a god in the music industry this year, his popularity and fame have reached a peak.

Such a superstar is a mainlander, so it would be unbelievable that the Spring Festival Gala director team did not invite Ye Fan.

On the contrary, when the Spring Festival Gala director team revealed that Ye Fan would sing a new song at the Spring Festival Gala, it aroused heated discussion and curiosity among people.

"Light Chaser" is still selling like hotcakes, and Ye Fan is about to come up with a new song. In addition to making people marvel at his talent, they are also looking forward to his new song.

After all, Ye Fan used new songs last year, and he is one of the few singers who dared to use new songs on the Spring Festival Gala. The key is that "Meet 98" is very classic, and it quickly became popular across the country, making Ye Fan successful in making a name for himself.

So many people are looking forward to what new works he will come up with this Spring Festival Gala. It can even be said that Ye Fan is the biggest selling point of next year's Spring Festival Gala!

Because now in society, the saying that "products produced by Ye Fan must be high-quality products" has been widely recognized.
