Chapter 52 Tuning the Spring Festival Gala+ Chapter 53 I Want to Go Home for the New Year
Fan Wubing and Fan Heng, father and son, have been wandering around the CCTV studio for the past two days.
After the advertisement was implemented, everyone felt more at ease, and Fan Wubing's proposed sponsorship of the gala was also treated as a special approval.
Although everyone has no personal experience with this kind of sponsorship, it does not mean that they are unaware of such a thing. Many people who often go abroad know that sponsorship is widespread abroad.
It’s just that the country is brought down, and utilitarianism cannot be avoided by doing so, and some conservative people will definitely criticize it. Is there only money left in your eyes at CCTV? Why don't you do business, don't make more movies and TV shows that the people like to hear and see, but just learn the rotten things of capitalism, what is your intention? !
Fan Wubing scoffed at this, and he clearly expressed his opinion to the directors, "The so-called critics are a bunch of shit, they will only add chaos to the society. The key to the success of this program is It depends on the repercussions among the people, whether it is good or bad? As long as the people are happy, it is undoubtedly the correct line! Therefore, you can completely ignore those guys who are sloppy and picky, or Expose them to the public and they'll be a lot more honest."
Fan Heng was also very speechless about Fan Wubing, he simply ran to chat with the actors who were resting and chatting aside, and you must know that many actors are so big that they can't be bigger. The ratings are all 100% (There is no doubt about this, anyway, CCTV is the only one in China now. Any local TV station, the most executed is just rebroadcasting CCTV programs. When it comes to the production of independent programs , there is still a long way to go), it is indeed a rare opportunity to get in touch with so many film and television celebrities.
Fan Wubing was surrounded by the directors and was extremely busy.
Even if he looked at the scene with a non-critical eye, Fan Wubing felt that there was a big problem.
Paragraphs are loosely connected and the proportions are seriously out of balance. The "clumsy" interludes, even the camera often can't find the focus, and a piece of unexciting cross talk can kill 20 minutes of time. Zheng Xulan and Liu Xiaoqing each have the opportunity to sing three songs, let alone as big Fan Wubing vaguely remembered Li Guyi who was the finale of the bowl, if you count the folk song duet with Jiang Kun and Yuan Shihai. Her old man seemed to sing ten songs in one breath!
Ten songs! Catch up with the personal concert! Later singers can die of envy! If anyone can sing ten songs in a row on the Spring Festival Gala in 2008, if you ask him to pay ten million yuan, someone will be willing to do it!
In order to make the 100,000 yuan sponsorship he promised worthwhile, Fan Wubing had to point out some problems in the scene, "It is not easy to hold a good show. From the preparation of the show to the selection of the program, , clothing design, venue selection, sound effects and lighting, seat setting, gift selection, banquet arrangement, etc.,
All need to be arranged properly. "
"We all know this, isn't it a lack of money—" the director nodded and looked at Fan Wubing innocently.
"Ahem——" Fan Wubing almost choked. He thought that these details were not considered, but he didn't expect that it was a penny that stumped the heroes. Immediately, he said, "That's why we proposed sponsorship! Although the money is not a lot, but if it is used in the right place, it can still make a difference. Linley"
"Do you have any specific suggestions?" the director asked.
"The key is the rehearsal!" Fan Wubing said, "Don't be afraid of trouble. You have to rehearse at least three times! Then you can find the problem from the screen. Isn't it just a few videotapes? This is easy to solve! As for the actors, they can To start it, this is a performance for one billion people in the country. It is also necessary to overcome any difficulties! What's more, through this live broadcast, many viewers will remember them, which is also a great opportunity for their future acting career The earth pushes! Speaking of it, they are all stained!"
Fan Wubing was teaching earnestly. The director is also being taught by the side with relish.
The camera interjected and asked, "Teacher Fan, what do you think we should pay attention to when taking the camera?"
"Of course it's editing and angles! You have to see the big picture and grasp the details!" Fan Wubing replied without hesitation.
"I don't understand—" the cameraman scratched his head, thinking that he was the director's gun, and he pointed and hit wherever. When did he have a big picture?
Fan Wubing was just talking about this. Although he had seen a lot, he hadn't really done it. Now that he had said it, he had to bite the bullet and tell everyone about the forms of some successful evening parties. Everyone Some of them turned out to be like this.
"Our original idea was just to hold a party within CCTV to let everyone have fun together. Who knows that the leader later said that we would broadcast it live. It seems that our thinking mode is still a lot more conservative! But if we overthrow it now and start over, the time will be limited. It's too late—" The director was scratching his head at this moment.
No matter who you are, you want to make your program perfect, but knowing that you have the opportunity to make it perfect, you can only succumb to the tyrannical power of time, which is very regrettable. The director's mood at this time ,is also like this.
"That's why we need to introduce some new elements!" Fan Wubing pointed out sharply.
"For example, what?" The director asked sincerely.
Fan Wubing replied, "If you want to run the program well, you must fully consider your audience. Our audience is one billion people across the country. Therefore, in the arrangement of the program, we must fully consider the customs of people of all ethnic groups and regions across the country. , adding audience interaction, local repertoires, and some representative brothers and national programs, you can consider moving them to the stage."
"Yes!" the director replied, "We set up a telephone hotline, added a quiz show with prizes in the middle of the program, and also invited Hu Songhua from the brotherhood!"
"Hu Songhua? The one singing hymns? I like it! Is he from the Mongolian tribe?" Fan Wubing nodded.
"Where! He is Manchu!" The director immediately denied.
"Ah?!" Fan Wubing was speechless. "I always thought he was a Mongolian!"
The director was speechless for a moment, but he said another sentence. "The hymn is very nice, but it's not suitable to sing here. We are now against the cult of personality in the party, which is inappropriate."
Fan Wubing curled his lips, disapproving, but under the background of the times, he could do nothing about it, although he liked to listen to Hu Songhua's praises very much, although he never figured out whether Hu Songhua was Mongolian or Manchu.
All of this. Nothing can stop the arrival of the first Spring Festival Gala.
This is the footsteps of mass entertainment to the foreground.
Chapter 53: I want to go home for the New Year
After being busy until the night of the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the father and son finally settled all the problems.
Under Fan Wubing's guidance, CCTV's Spring Festival Gala activities finally took shape. At least the studio was set up as a more formal hall instead of being randomly placed in a warehouse. The audio equipment and lighting props were urgently removed from various places. After being transferred, the cast of actors has expanded. It covers many aspects such as songs, dances, cross talk, sketches, acrobatics, etc. The most important point is that in the arrangement of the program, the possibility of one person dominating the show is eliminated, and the original state of several cross talks crowded together, or one person singing several songs in succession .
"The Spring Festival Gala is a mass entertainment event, not a stage for individual performances." Fan Wubing said.
"But what if the audience insists on ordering a certain person's program?" The director asked worriedly considering that the hotline may affect the progress of the program.
Fan Wubing said with a bit of resentment, "You are stupid! You can't even cheat?! Isn't this your CCTV's strength?! What's wrong with the hotline? You can arrange some babysitting! Calling in Hotline, if it meets your requirements, then do it directly, if not, let the child care! Are you the director, or is the audience the director?! The whole party must be carried out under your control, this is the first mystery! As long as it does not affect the overall situation, it is still possible to engage in interaction. What is responding to the audience's request? Responding to the audience's request is the only magic weapon for you to blackmail your superiors! Who do you want to be on the show, but the leader does not agree. You can justify it. Just say that this show is due to the audience's strong request! Then he has nothing to say, but give in! Do you understand?!"
The director broke into a cold sweat when he heard this, and thought that this young man has some abilities, but he really needs to improve his thinking. Where can you blackmail the leader casually? But then again. If it is really at the request of the audience, which program is temporarily added. It is estimated that the leader can't say one, two, three, four.
That's a good idea!
The director is as good as he is, so he can naturally raise the level of the Spring Festival Gala a lot. Fan and his son's commercials have received special attention. In view of the special contributions the two made to the Spring Festival Gala, Taili decided to invite them to stay and participate in the first Spring Festival Gala as guests. .
Fan Heng originally wanted to hurry up and go home with his son for the New Year, but now that CCTV invited him, he was a little uncertain, so he discussed with Fan Wubing, what should we do about this matter?
"This matter—" Fan Wubing pondered.
Knowing that his son is capable, Fan Heng has never treated him as a child. When he encountered a problem at this time, he first thought of discussing it with him. After Fan Wubing thought for a while, he raised his head and asked, "Father, what do you think?" Should we go or stay?"
"I'm also very embarrassed—" Fan Heng frowned and replied, "I originally wanted to go home to celebrate the New Year, but CCTV also had good intentions. After all, this is a relatively large event, and being a guest can also increase the popularity of our factory. , by the way, let’s promote our products. But if this is the case, the family will not be able to reunite together.”
"I don't think this party will be very good. If I had a choice, I would rather go home and make dumplings." Fan Wubing touched his head and said with some melancholy.
"Then let's go home! At most, say sorry to them and we'll be done—" Fan Heng made up his mind.
"No no no——" Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "This matter has a greater impact. From an emotional point of view, I hope to go home for the New Year, but from a rational point of view, I think it will be more beneficial to our career to stay and participate in the Spring Festival Gala." Help, and this effect is likely to be unmatched by ordinary advertising! So, I think Dad, you should tell the factory to see what they want you to do?"
"What should I tell them?" Fan Heng hesitated.
"Tell me the truth!" Fan Wubing waved his hands.
So Fan Heng reported the matter here to the factory through a long-distance call, and explained that the advertising matter had been implemented, and CCTV hoped that they could stay as guests to participate in the Spring Festival gala.
As a result, both the factory director and the secretary agreed with Fan Heng to stay, and said that this is a great opportunity to promote our Pingyuan factory by the way. The factory is such a group of ordinary workers who are diligent and down-to-earth to serve the people.
"I can't help it. I can't go back even if I want to." Fan Heng said to his son with a wry smile after putting down the phone.
Fan Wubing shrugged, "If you want to do great things, you have to sacrifice your personal happiness. This is unavoidable. Unless you have succeeded, no one can escape this objective law."
Afterwards, the two took turns to fight and called home. Zhang Mei obviously blamed him for a long time on the other side, but the matter was already settled, and there was nothing he could do. When Fan Heng finally agreed to go home, he would go to Wangfujing Street to give Zhang Mei Bring some New Year's presents with the kids, and that's all it takes.
"Your mother is becoming more and more authoritative, making me sweat." Fan Heng said to Fan Wubing.
Fan Wubing snorted and said, "So dad, you have to work hard! The so-called husband is weak and the rooster is in the morning, it is a true portrayal of our family! You are a majestic deputy at home, and you are overwhelmed by the Zhengke. Come on, it will make people laugh if you say it! When I go out in the future, I am ashamed to say that I am your son!"
"Joke, if you say it's not, then it's not!" Fan Heng knocked on Fan Wubing's forehead once.
Just in time for the auspicious snowfall, the father and son went to Wangfujing to purchase some more expensive gifts, and contacted Director Zhang twice to send him some new year's goods. The rest of the time was basically spent in In the practice hall of CCTV, watch those people practice.
Of course, watching is not for nothing, it is to give some opinions to the actors. Most of the actors and directors didn't have a big temper, and they accepted the problems Fan Wubing pointed out with humility.
In the director's words, the audience's eyes are discerning, and Teacher Xiao Fan's eyes are extremely bright. If we can pass his test, the problem will not be too big.
Three days passed in a flash, and amidst the intensive arrangements, CCTV's first live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala came on stage.
