Ye Fan went back to his room and lay down on the bed. He felt chills all over when he thought of Zeng Li pranking him and calling him "big nephew".

'We must not let this happen!' Ye Fan thought silently in his heart, but until the afternoon, Chang Li's meeting had already finished, and Ye Fan didn't think of any solution.

Ye Fan simply didn't think about it for now and would act according to the situation when the time comes!

As for what kind of meeting Chang Li would hold, of course it would be to sway people! She mobilized her connections in the performance department’s admissions team to collect information on Ye Fan.

In addition to this, Chang Li also emphasized at the meeting that it was important to confirm whether the news about Beijing Film Academy recommending Ye Fan a spot was accurate. There are so many alumni of China Film Academy, and there are always good relations with Beijing Film Academy, but this requires

Let people arrange it in a low-key manner...

In this way, after director Li Geng worked overtime, the MVs for "Chasing Dreams" and "China Talk" were finally completed on October 21st.

Ye Fan and Xu Zhongmin saw the finished product and were quite satisfied with it, so Jingwen Company was responsible for sending people to submit these two MVs to the Spring Festival Gala directing team. The other MVs can be completed before the end of October. Once the approval is received, the album

You can start promoting it.

When Huo Lijun saw that Ye Fan was finally over, he arranged for Ye Fan to take promotional photos, album cover photos and other materials.

Looking at Ye Fan who was putting on makeup, Huo Lijun asked: "Xiao Fan, have you thought about the name of this album?"

Ye Fan pondered for a while and replied: "The market for my album is mainly students and teenagers. To put it simply, call it "Youth". It fits the style of the album."

Huo Lijun nodded and said, "That's fine. When I design the cover, I'll ask the planner to add the album name."

Ye Fan nodded without saying a word, put on makeup and changed clothes, then cooperated with the photographer and started taking pictures...

In the Fourth Ring Road of Yanjing, there is an inconspicuous small building with four big characters printed on it, "Home of Film and Television".

Many people would never have imagined that the famous Spring Festival Gala directing team works in this small building.

In this small building, in the months before the Spring Festival Gala every year, many celebrities come in and out. Together with the Spring Festival Gala crew director, they create programs, revise the scripts, and polish it countless times.

Perhaps the number of stars who come to this small building is more than those who have been to the CCTV stage. After all, many actors and stars come with great enthusiasm, but leave with great disappointment.

Singing and dancing actors are slightly better, after all, they don’t need to be overly complicated to recreate.

For actors in language programs, they often have to go through a long and painful process.

A cross talk or a skit must go through many revisions before it is released on New Year's Eve.

At this time, there were already many actors, screenwriters and directors in this small building. They were smoking cigarettes and drinking tea in the old rooms in the building, adding and deleting things again and again.

Change the baggage and strive to make the work more and more perfect, at least to meet the standards of review and close to the audience's taste.

After several months of intensive creation, what awaits the crosstalk sketch actors is the intense rounds of review before the Spring Festival.

It is best if the reviewer gives specific opinions. At least he knows what needs to be changed and how it should be changed.

The most regrettable thing is that the program has been prepared for several months, with lights burning and cooking oil every day, and hair falling out. In the end, the review failed, and the actors and creative team had no choice but to go home to celebrate the New Year.

If you are eliminated in the end, it would be better to be removed in the first trial, at least give it a clean cut. The most terrifying thing is to be removed in the final trial, which would be too frustrating.

There is even a situation where the performance of the performer at the front is overtime for a few minutes, and the next program is squeezed out. This is also something that has happened on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

Therefore, not everyone can attend the Spring Festival Gala. On the big stage on New Year's Eve, actors who all look beaming may have sweat or even tears behind their smiles.

In the building at this time, in the chief director's office, while Zhang Xiaohai was reviewing the script of "Robot Fun" written by Guo Stansen and Cai Shuan, he saw assistant director Kou Guangchang knocking on the door and holding a CD and some information.

, walked in.

"Director Zhang, this is a work submitted by Jingwen Records, two pieces of music, a MV, and related information." Kou Guangchang said as he put the things in front of Zhang Xiaohai and said, "After reading it, the collection team

, I think it’s okay. After watching it, I think it fits the theme of the Spring Festival Gala. You can take a look when you have time.”

"Oh? Jingwen Records? The company that spent one million in May this year to invite so many big-name stars to sing the song "Love in a Hundred Years"?" Zhang Xiaohai glanced at the information on the table and said: "

The boss is that Xu Zhongmin, right?"

Kou Guangchang replied: "Yes, Director Zhang, the boss is Xu Zhongmin, and they also created "Love in a Hundred Years". Good guy, we were able to invite Uncle Ge, Chen Daoming, Jiang Wen, Liu Xiaoqing, Jiang Shan, Wang Zhiwen, etc.

People in the industry were shocked when they sang, but the one million they spent was not a loss. No, they submitted the manuscript and we reviewed it immediately. It is indeed good."

Zhang Xiaohai recalled the information about Jingwen Records, nodded and said: "Judging from their previous works, they should be quite good, so I'll take a look first." After saying that, he picked up the CD and turned on the TV in the office.

player and DVD player, after inserting the disc, it starts playing

Listening to the sound of the machine turning, Zhang Xiaohai picked up the information on the table and read:

"Song "Young China""

"Composer: Ye Fan"

"Lyrics written by: Ye Fan, Liang Gong"

"Singer: Ye Fan"

…

Zhang Xiaohai frowned when he saw that the lyrics, music and lead singer were all the same person, because he had never heard of this person and must be a newcomer.

And although there are new people on stage in the Spring Festival Gala, they are "newcomers" in the Spring Festival Gala. Before attending the Spring Festival Gala, they were also singers or celebrities who had their own masterpieces or were quite famous.

Since the Spring Festival Gala has become more and more influential, the number of programs solicited from grassroots and newcomers has become less and less. Especially since the 1990s, more and more celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan have been invited to the stage every year.

When Zhang Xiaohai saw this, he said dissatisfiedly: "Guangchang, isn't this a newcomer? How could..." Before he could finish speaking, he heard the music of "Young China".

The clear, firm and rhythmic shouts of the youth choir rang out, which shocked Zhang Xiaohai and made him feel high involuntarily.

So Zhang Xiaohai raised his head curiously and looked at the TV.

As exciting historical scenes emerged, after the prelude ended, the song title "Young China" appeared on the TV.

After the prelude of the Youth Choir ended, in the MV, old images from decades ago began to appear. On October 1st, there was a sea of ​​people in the main square, and the five-star red flag was fluttering in the wind.

The screen turned to the stands. A shout came out: "...A new country has been established!"

This cry resounded throughout the land of China...

The screen changed and Ye Fan's singing figure appeared on the TV.

Zhang Xiaohai frowned again and thought to himself: 'The image is good, but he is still too young. He only looks 18 years old.'

However, when Ye Fan's song sounded, along with the high-pitched singing voice and sonorous and powerful lyrics, Zhang Xiaohai's scalp went numb and he got goosebumps when he saw the scene of the rise of flower growers.

Kou Guangchang looked at Zhang Xiaohai and snickered in his heart: 'I knew it would be like this.' But he sighed in his heart: 'This newcomer is also great, but the better your songs are, the harder it may be for you.'

After listening to the song, Zhang Xiaohai was stunned for a while, came back to his senses, looked at Kou Guangchang and said without hesitation: "The lyrics and music of this song are both good, especially the MV. The content is very in line with the above requirements. I want to choose

It will definitely be included in the program list, but..." Before he finished speaking, the prelude of "Chasing Dreams" started.

"Where is the world full of flowers..." Zhang Xiaohai remembered when he heard Ye Fan's slightly sad singing. He quickly looked at the information of "Chasing Dreams" and found that the songwriter and lead singer was still Ye Fan. This time it was for real.

The surprise arrived.

Zhang Xiaohai looked at the MV again, watching the scenes from "The Opium War" appearing on the TV, as well as classic images from various old movies and materials. Scene after scene, they witnessed the flower grower's rise from suffering to rise over the past century.

The various journeys we have taken have very high intentions.

Zhang Xiaohai was so excited when he heard the song ended, he immediately slammed the table, stood up and said to Kou Guangchang: "Choose! These two songs must be selected on the program list. The combination of pop and main melody, the lyrics and music are passionate and inspiring, and the MV is

The content is very in line with the above requirements, and there will definitely be no problem if it is reviewed later.”

After hearing this, Kou Guangchang said cautiously: "Director Zhang, there is no problem if he chooses these two songs, but as you just said, he is still a newcomer, and if he only sings two songs..."

After listening to Kou Guangchang's words, Zhang Xiaohai finally calmed down, remembering that Ye Fan was still a newcomer, he hesitated again, thinking about whether to make a decision that was very unfriendly to newcomers!

Seeing Zhang Xiaohai's appearance, Kou Guangchang said again: "Director Zhang, why don't you look at the information and make a decision?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohai nodded, sat down and looked through the information. When he saw Ye Fan's information, he raised his head, looked at Kou Guangchang and said in surprise: "This author is only 15 years old? How is that possible? He looks like

You seem to be eighteen or nineteen years old, are you mistaken?"

Kou Guangchang also said helplessly: "Director Zhang, when I saw it, I thought Jingwen had made a mistake, and I asked someone specifically. He said that the author was only 15 years old, but he was already in high school."

After hearing Kou Guangchang's affirmative reply, Zhang Xiaohai finally became undecided. Seeing that the rest of the information was all about songs, he stopped reading.

So Zhang Xiaohai put the information aside and asked Kou Guangchang: "This Ye Fan, when the people from Jingwen sent the information, did you know anything about his situation?"

Kou Guangchang replied: "I asked some questions, but the person didn't know much about Ye Fan's specific situation. Apart from what I just said, I know that he is a native of Yanjing and has an uncle who has a good relationship with them."

"Let's do this. Find someone to inquire about Ye Fan's background." Zhang Xiaohai said this, sighed and continued: "If possible, discuss with the people at Jingwen Company whether we can let Ye Fan handle this matter."

The right to perform the two songs in the Spring Festival Gala has been given up, and we will see if other aspects can make up for it at that time."

‘I knew it was like this.’ When Kou Guangchang heard what Zhang Xiaohai said, he thought and replied: “Okay, Director Zhang, I’ll arrange for someone to go find out.” After that, he walked out.

What should I do if it’s not possible? What does that have to do with him being an assistant director?

Seeing that Kou Guangchang had already gone out and two songs were still playing in a loop on the VCD, Zhang Xiaohai looked at the figure of Ye Fan who appeared on the TV from time to time.

Slowly, the more Zhang Xiaohai watched, the more he appreciated it. However, after thinking about the pressure of being the chief director and the fact that this year's Spring Festival Gala was the first time that the three places were broadcast live, he still sighed.

Ye Fan didn't know anything about this, but it didn't matter if he knew it. After all, Ye Fan's charm and talent have impressed many people and he still has many friends. It is definitely not the result of repeated py transactions!

In the next time, after taking the promotional photos, in addition to the completion of the MVs for other songs, Ye Fan also had to review them. Before the promotion and charting, Ye Fan didn't have much to do.
Chapter completed!
