Chapter 106 The Prophecy About the Third Spring Festival Gala "Ask for a Monthly Ticket"
Early in the morning, Fan Wubing and Fan Ting came to CCTV together and found Lao Chen.
"Hi, leader!" Fan Wubing pushed open the office door and said to Lao Chen with a smile.
Old Chen was busy in the dark, it was the end of the year, and there were so many things to do, he was stuck in the middle of the pile of reports, and was sorting out, when he suddenly heard Fan Wubing's voice, he scratched his messy head, looked up Asked, "President Fan! Why did you come here?"
"Didn't you ask me to find the crew of the Spring Festival Gala? What if I don't come here?" Fan Wubing rolled his eyes.
"Oh hehe——" Lao Chen remembered it now, saw Fan Ting was there, and said a little embarrassedly, "Hi! Look at this, it's all because I didn't make it clear. This year's Spring Festival Gala has changed places, Huang Guess they have all gone to Gongti now. How about I contact the car first and let them take you there?"
Gongti? No impression! Although Fan Wubing had been working in Beijing for more than half a year, he never cared about other things except making money. Of course he didn't know where the Gongti was.
But when it comes to moving the Spring Festival Gala to Gongti, which brainless idea came up with it?
Because Fan Wubing and Fan Ting didn't know the exact location, they waited for Lao Chen to arrange a car, pulled the two of them together, and went straight to Gongti.
"Why didn't you do it in the studio this year?" Fan Wubing saw that the driver was a young man in his twenties, so he asked. "Who knows, if the leader gets nervous, we will have to run away. It is said that a lot of tickets can be sold, who knows? No one can tell clearly about the leader—" the driver said depressedly.
Oh, is it because you want to make some income? This year's Walkman business is not very good, and profits have shrunk significantly. The best profit period has already passed. Humidifiers are sold at a small profit in China, and the profit is not large, so Fan Wubing didn't bother to advertise. As for Jianlibao, it has done a few advertisements, which means it continues to cooperate with CCTV, but this is already Fan Wubing's personal decision-making business. Fan Wubing has no intention of making it too public, so he didn't think about continuing to sponsor the Spring Festival Gala.
Being on the Spring Festival Gala commercials for three consecutive years, the goal seems to be too big, so Fan Wubing decided to take a rest this year before talking about it. Things for next year will be decided next year, and it is a bit too early to talk about it now.
Not long after, the car drove to the outside of Gongti, the driver probably came here often recently, so he was familiar with the road, and directly took Fan Wubing and Fan Ting to the director's office.
"Mr. Fan, it's great that you're here!" The director was looking at the venue, and when he saw Fan Wubing coming, he couldn't help being very happy, and greeted him with a smile.
"Who is this person? Why does he look young,
Director Huang went to greet him in person? "There were also a few actors nearby watching the venue. Seeing that Director Huang paid so much attention to the visitors, they couldn't help but feel very curious.
Another person found that Fan Wubing looked a little familiar. "I remember. It's the siblings who have been sponsoring the Spring Festival Gala for the past two years. I remember it clearly. Do you think it's them?"
"That's right, but they are probably the representatives of that manufacturer, right? They don't look very old, and they are here to sponsor the Spring Festival Gala again this year?" Someone asked.
"Who knows, maybe it is!" Everyone whispered.
Director Huang has always attached great importance to Fan Wubing, especially since he put forward a lot of clear opinions and rectification methods to the Spring Festival Gala crew at the beginning. Although there are only a few of them, they are indeed effective. And the Spring Festival Gala has become the most important part that everyone looks forward to every New Year's Eve.
"Hehe, Director Huang, it's been another year, how are you!" Fan Wubing shook Director Huang's hand with a smile on his face.
Director Huang held Fan Wubing's hand tightly and said with some emotion. "I haven't seen you in a year. I have grown a lot, but my old man has a lot of back!"
"I'm an old man. I have great ambitions. Director Huang is in his prime. When he achieves results, saying such things will disappoint the audience across the country." Fan Wubing replied with a smile.
"Don't mention these things, let's take a look at the scene of this Spring Festival Gala." Director Huang led Fan Wubing and Fan Ting inside.
The Workers Gymnasium was built in 1961 and has been an important place for large-scale events in Beijing since then. The building area is about 40,000 square meters, with one basement and four floors above ground. Suspended cable structure with a span of 94 meters can be regarded as a classic example of this structure. Although it took a long time to build, many design concepts and structures are iconic.
"Why did you choose this place this year?" Fan Wubing felt a little strange. How convenient it is to have a good studio. Although the Gongti is big enough, it is too big. It is estimated that there are more than 10,000 seats in it. It seems that there are few people, but watching the party, it seems that the place is too spacious, and it is difficult for him to imagine what the people behind can see.
A staff member next to Director Huang explained, "Everyone watched the National Day military parade this year, and the Los Angeles Olympics was also held. We thought it would be too shabby for a country with more than one billion people to hold a Spring Festival Gala in the studio, so we wanted to show the grandeur scene, so I chose the Workers’ Stadium.”
"Oh." Fan Wubing didn't say anything, just looked at the equipment on the scene.
The on-site equipment was very simple. Due to the poor conditions, the crew did not even have a walkie-talkie, and the conductor relied on wired earphones. The signal was intermittent and the effect was very poor. There was a big problem in unified scheduling. The technical conditions are very backward. For example, it is difficult to change the color of the auditorium if it is brightened. The color chips are all on top of the lamp, tens of meters above the ground, and you can’t even turn your head if you want to. It’s very primitive.
There is another big problem, that is, the scene is too cold. Heating is very problematic in such a large place, especially Fan Wubing glanced at everyone at the scene. They are basically wrapped in green military coats, shrinking one by one Be like a monkey.
"How's this place?" Director Huang asked.
"Bigness is big enough, but apart from being big, there is no merit." Fan Wubing replied very directly.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Director Huang was very surprised.
Originally, he asked Fan Wubing to come here, hoping to borrow his advanced ideas on on-site overall arrangements, to find problems in the program, and to criticize some flaws in the live broadcast process. Judging from the experience of the previous two Spring Festival Gala, Fan Wubing Sick opinion is very important and correct.
But this time, it is a bit too much to completely deny the studio scene.
Seeing the confusion on Director Huang's and others' faces. Fan Wubing began to educate the crowd, "The Spring Festival Gala is different from other large-scale events. What we pay attention to is not ostentation, momentum, crowds, or crowds, but to create a warm homely feeling, which is in line with our Chinese tradition. Therefore, the live broadcast space of the Spring Festival Gala should not be too large, even the studio should not be too large. The Spring Festival Gala is an occasion where family affection is very strong. I can see you. You can see me too. When I raise my eyebrows, you can see it , it doesn’t feel difficult. Moreover, the host’s connection, one moment on stage and one moment off stage, you will be in front of you in two steps, and the feeling will be very warm, um. Humane
Director Huang and the others nodded after hearing this. Originally, they came to Gongti to familiarize themselves with the environment these few days, so they always felt uncomfortable. Now, after hearing what Fan Wubing said, they felt that was the case.
Fan Wubing went on to say, "The Spring Festival Gala is different from the military parade and the Olympic Games. It can be said to be completely different! The military parade and the Olympic Games are large-scale events. They show the national prestige and the strength of the country. Therefore, we must pay attention to pomp and momentum. Therefore, the larger the venue for the military parade and the Olympic Games, the better the number of people participating, and the more mixed the guests, the better the deterrent effect is obvious! But the Spring Festival Gala is like a family banquet, a small-scale event Gathering of friends. The emphasis is on warmth, harmony and beauty. It’s more than a year since they get together in one place to be lively, happy and harmonious, and when there are more people. The venue is large, but the taste changes.”
Everyone nodded, but Director Huang frowned again. "That's the truth, but the choice of this place is not up to us. It's arranged like this. What can I do?"
Fan Wubing shrugged his shoulders with a look of disapproval.
In fact, this is the status quo in China. In many things, laymen lead experts, no matter what they don't understand, but they just want to point fingers, as if one word you say can really be worth ten thousand words of others. Fan Wubing disliked this the most. Speaking of which, going back to decades ago, didn't everyone run around the streets wearing crotch pants? Now that he is in a good position, he has to be like 2.58 million, as if he is really the reincarnation of Wenquxing? !
"And there is a problem, the on-site contact is inconvenient, and the distance from the backstage to the foreground is too long, which will easily cause a problem, that is, there will be problems in the connection between the programs, and some mysteries that should cause a sensation will be weakened, and If the stage is too big, the effect of large performance programs will be compromised. For example, Chen Peisi's sketches are good, but from such a distance, apart from Chen Peisi's bald head, what else can you see?" Fan Wubing pointed out another big problem.
Now everyone's emotions are not too high, and I deeply feel that changing the venue of the Spring Festival Gala to Gongti is really a super-failed decision.
In the end, Fan Wubing came to a conclusion unceremoniously, "In a word, if the Spring Festival Gala is held in Gongti, it will definitely make a mess, and the people of the whole country will be dissatisfied. You just wait to apologize on the news network!"
Hearing Fan Wubing's words, Director Huang's face immediately became like a bitter melon.
I don't know how the CCTV people discussed it, but finally decided to set the Spring Festival Gala in Gongti.
Director Huang was a little depressed. Fan Wubing's words made him fully realize that this year's Spring Festival Gala was not destined to be a complete success, but the order suppressed from above made him have to concentrate all his energy on preparations, which was really contradictory. .
The matter of Fan Ting's singing has been settled. After all, the genetics of the old Fan family are still very good, otherwise there would be no such freak as Fan Wubing. Fan Ting's voice is more suitable for singing this kind of campus songs.
After listening to Fan Ting's audition, the directors all thought it was good, and they also thought that as the composer of the song "Childhood", Fan Ting was a more suitable choice for singing this song, and the audience would buy it.
As for the newly created song that Fan Wubing mentioned, it was naturally plagiarized. However, after hearing Fan Wubing's conception and audition, the directors all applauded and unanimously decided to add this song to the party as a key track Arrange for prime time.
"Oh, but when I think about the problem of the venue, I have a headache. If I can't do it this year, I will definitely have to take the blame!" Director Huang was a little discouraged. He knew it was impossible, but he still had to be tough. Scalp shirtless.
Hey, Fan Wubing sighed, thinking that seeing Lao Huang as a scapegoat like this is really a bit unreasonable, and it seems that he has to help him with the knife, so he asked, "Director Huang, if you call some pop singers now?" The singer of the song, hurry up and rehearse a song, do you think there is still time?"
Director Huang was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized that Fan Wubing was planning to help him, so he was overjoyed and said, "There must be enough time, there are still a lot of singers here in Beijing, there are a hundred or eighty of them." It can be summoned only if the song has to pass the review of the higher authorities."
Director Huang was very sure of what he said. There are many singers in Bei Piao, most of whom are just playing around. How happy they are to be able to appear on the biggest national program like the Spring Festival Gala! At that time, there will only be too many people, not too few people. But there are some problems with the arrangement of the songs. Most of the programs have already been arranged. If you want to change it, you must approve it from above. Otherwise, the director will not be able to take the initiative.
Fan Wubing waved his hands and said, "There is no problem with the song, I won't do anything too outrageous. I will come up with the lyrics later, let my sister help compose a song, and then try the effect, you guys Use it when it suits you, and treat it as if I didn’t say anything if it doesn’t suit you.”
"The sooner the better!" Director Huang grinned so much that his mouth reached below his ears.
After asking the staff for a pen and paper, Fan Wubing began to recall the familiar melody, took a few minutes to write out the lyrics, and then hid aside with his elder sister Fan Ting, humming and singing I asked Fan Ting to memorize the tune, and after more than half an hour, I finally got the lyrics and music done.
"It looks good." Director Huang looked at the lyrics and commented.
"It sounds even better." Fan Wubing replied angrily.
Director Huang smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, I owe you a big favor this time, how about arranging a few text advertisements for you on the spot? I'll talk to the leader about it, it's probably not a big problem .”
Fan Wubing nodded and said, "Okay! I'll sponsor another few hundred thousand, so that the leaders won't say you didn't try your best!"
This is a surprise, originally everyone thought that Fan Wubing was not going to pay this year, because he criticized here for nothing, but he didn't expect to throw hundreds of thousands of sponsorships out while talking, really no think.
After returning to the home temporarily placed in the S Club, Zhang Mei immediately told Fan Wubing that it was Qiu Baohua who called him again.
