Chapter 647 I Want to Be on Three Shows
This year's Spring Festival Gala, Xu Ye has his plans.
Although the overall effect of the Spring Festival Gala is getting worse year by year, it is still a ratings king. Every year's Spring Festival Gala is the top stream on the Internet on New Year's Eve.
If there is a good program, it can still make an actor famous overnight.
If it is promoted on this platform, it will be more powerful than being on Weibo hot search.
Hu Jinping told him about the current shooting of "Charlotte's Troubles" a few days ago. If nothing unexpected happens, the film will be completed soon.
The post-production of this film is not troublesome. If everything goes well, it can be released during the Spring Festival.
Then it is necessary to let the leading actors Zheng Yu and Xu Mei perform a skit on the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve.
After watching the skit of the two in the evening, you can go to the cinema to watch the movie they acted in the next day, which will have a great bonus effect on the box office.
It is secondary for him to sing a song.
He and Mo Xincheng also cooperated with the Red Sorghum Model Team before, and they can cooperate again in this Spring Festival Gala.
Last time, Mo Xincheng and Hu Jinping worked well together, but this time Hu Jinping was responsible for the post-production and publicity of "Charlotte's Troubles", so he definitely didn't have time to participate in the Spring Festival Gala performance.
Xu Ye didn't care, there was still a lot of time.
If he didn't have time this year, he could wait until the year after. There were a lot of skits suitable for the Spring Festival Gala. Even if they were performed every year, there would only be two or three a year at most.
If good works were thrown out all at once, the effect would be much worse. There was no rush.
So this year he was going to perform two skits, one for Mo Xincheng and one for Zheng Yu. He would just sing a song and then walk around in the skit.
Liang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Since you are so sure, I won't say anything. Just tell me if you need any help."
At this time, Xu Ye said, "I have decided not to go on two programs."
Liang Xiaohua felt a little regretful when he heard this, but the next second Xu Ye said, "Just go on three programs."
Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaohua was surprised and said, "Three? Are you kidding me?"
There have been precedents for an actor to go on two programs, but there is really no precedent for going on three programs.
Preparing for one program is tiring enough, let alone preparing for three programs.
The final result is likely that all three programs will not be good.
But Liang Xiaohua immediately thought that the person on the other end of the phone was Xu Ye!
To be honest, if Xu Ye wanted to sing two songs on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he could do it for Xu Ye now.
With Xu Ye's current reserve of songs, it is not impossible for his songs to appear on the Spring Festival Gala for three songs.
But doesn't this also require a skit?
Liang Xiaohua asked, "Two songs and one skit?"
Xu Ye said, "Wrong, one song and two skits."
"Are you sure?"
"Wait for my news."
After hanging up the phone, Liang Xiaohua pondered.
It was strange. If someone else had said that to him, he would have let that person go.
But after Xu Ye said it, he actually believed it a little.
"If it really works, three programs will be solved at once! No, it's four programs. I can also invite the energetic girls to the Spring Festival Gala again!"
Liang Xiaohua was very excited.
It's just like taking an exam. Before the test paper is handed out, you already know the answers to four of the big questions, so you can do other questions more easily.
On the other side, Xu Ye called Mo Xincheng first.
Mo Xincheng hasn't been on the Spring Festival Gala for several years. Xu Ye has to ask Mo Xincheng's opinion first.
After telling Mo Xincheng about the Spring Festival Gala, Mo Xincheng said, "Do you have a script?"
Mo Xincheng has not planned to perform on the Spring Festival Gala in the past few years. The main reason is that there is no good script, and he doesn't want to bother anymore.
Preparing for the Spring Festival Gala program is a tiring thing.
However, after working with Xu Ye on "Red Sorghum Model Team", he felt a fire burning in his heart.
If there is a good script, it is not impossible to perform on the Spring Festival Gala again.
"I'll send it to you first."
Xu Ye sent a skit script that he had prepared long ago to Mo Xincheng.
There is such a skit that Xu Ye has wanted to perform for the audience for a long time, but he has never found a suitable opportunity.
It's boring to argue with people on Weibo. If you want to argue with people, you have to do it on the Spring Festival Gala.
While Mo Xincheng was reading the script, Xu Ye contacted Zheng Yu and Xu Mei again and sent the skit script to them.
The skit he prepared for the two was "Help or Not", a representative work of Shen Teng on Earth.
This skit was also called the last glory of the Spring Festival Gala skit by netizens.
The reason why this skit is so wonderful is that Zhao Benshan, the comedy master, controls the whole skit. One of the deputy directors of the Spring Festival Gala that year was Zhao Benshan.
Zheng Yu took a quick glance at the script and knew what he was doing.
After being tempered by "Laughing Theater", he has become a mature comedian.
He thinks this skit is of very good quality.
"It's tailor-made for me!" Zheng Yu said confidently.
On the other side, Mo Xincheng took out his glasses, put them on, and then opened the skit script sent to him by Xu Ye.
The name of this skit is very simple, it is called "Planning".
"What are you planning?"
After Mo Xincheng read the previous content, he figured out what happened.
The rooster laid eggs.
"It's interesting." Mo Xincheng continued to look down.
When he saw a line, he burst out laughing.
"Xu Ye, you really dare to write."
The lines read: "A rooster, it has to lay eggs, it has to do the work that is not its job. Is it a shame? Is it a shame? Is it a chicken? How will its peers see it? How will the chicken see it? What will the ducks see?" What do you think of Big Goose? How will you work in the literary and art world in the future?
Later, various satires on the current entertainment industry emerged one after another.
Mo Xincheng sighed while laughing.
He could predict that after this skit came out, many people would probably scold Xu Ye again, and they probably would have to scold him a few times.
But Mo Xincheng, like Xu Ye, just scolded people.
Can he care about this?
He doesn't care at all how his peers scold him, he only cares about the audience's evaluation of his work.
On earth, the sketch "Planning" appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage in 2007.
It's just that under the circumstances at the time, people didn't really understand the concept of hype. Although this sketch was still the number one sketch that year, there was some baggage in it that people at the time didn't quite understand.
But now it's completely different.
It can be said that the entertainment industry has mastered the skill of hype.
In the past, celebrities were captured by paparazzi, and maybe they were really captured.
Nowadays, there are celebrities who are captured by paparazzi. Maybe the celebrities specially asked the paparazzi to capture their photos, just to build up the popularity.
The audience was interested in this from the beginning but became numb by the end.
"It's very ironic."
Mo Xincheng sighed, and after watching it only once, he decided that he wanted to act in this skit.
He called Xu Ye.
"I acted in this skit. Do you have any candidates for the actress?"
Xu Ye said: "Yes, I will play your wife."
Mo Xincheng said angrily: "Go to hell!"
"Don't you like it?" Xu Ye asked.
Mo Xincheng no longer wanted to speak.
Xu Ye didn't have a suitable actress here, so Mo Xincheng recommended his old partner Shi Peijuan.
The two have collaborated on the Spring Festival Gala before, and this time it can be considered the return of the king.
After Xu Ye and Mo Xincheng finalized the decision, they sent the two sketch books directly to Liang Xiaohua.
"The two sketches are planned by Mo Xincheng and Shi Peijuan, and the other one is performed by actors from my studio. I will participate in both sketches."
Liang Xiaohua was stunned when he saw the names of Mo Xincheng and Shi Peijuan.
"Good guy, what kind of luck am I that He Dehe can actually invite these two people to come out again?"
Liang Xiaohua also understood that Mo Xincheng and Shi Peijuan were able to take action not because of him, not even because of the Spring Festival Gala, but because of Xu Ye.
In recent days, Liang Xiaohua has received many language programs submitted by teams, and he is quite well-informed.
He wanted to see what kind of script it was that could actually bring out Mo Xincheng.
After he finished reading the script of "Planning", he sighed the same as Mo Xincheng.
"How dare you write."
The current public opinion environment is completely different from that of 2000. Creators who write such scripts will be scolded.
Public opinion will definitely be adversely affected.
"If you think about it carefully, whether you write this skit or not, there will be many people who criticize Xu Ye."
Liang Xiaohua had already given "Planning" a pass in his heart.
He was scolded, but Liang Xiaohua still knew the identity of the person who would break his defense after seeing this skit.
Who would be a decent person to break the defense?
The content of this skit also meets the requirements of the Spring Festival Gala.
The entertainment industry needs to be scolded.
As for "To Help or Not to Help", he didn't care much at first. After all, it was only people from Xu Ye's studio who starred in it.
After reading the script, Liang Xiaohua was also a little surprised.
It's obviously a sketch with the main theme, but it's not awkward at all, and the details are handled very well.
This made Liang Xiaohua deeply aware of Xu Ye's skill.
"There is no reason to fail these two sketches." Liang Xiaohua said in his heart.
Unless there is really a more powerful work later that can squeeze out these two sketches, otherwise it must be selected.
Liang Xiaohua immediately asked someone to print out the sketch script and called the directing team for a meeting.
After arriving in the conference room, Liang Xiaohua placed the printed skit script on the table and glanced around the crowd.
The rest of the directing team haven't figured out what's going on yet.
Liang Xiaohua said with a smile: "I have already contacted Xu Ye. Xu Ye hopes that he can perform three programs in this year's Spring Festival Gala, one song and two sketches."
After the words fell, a group of people from the director team immediately started discussing.
The Spring Festival Gala director team has a large number of people, and there are a lot of people in the literary and art circles. It can be said that everyone here knows Xu Ye.
A middle-aged man said: "Director Liang, there is no precedent for one person to participate in three programs in the Spring Festival Gala. If Xu Ye is really allowed to participate in three programs by himself, the audience may think that we have opened a back door for Xu Ye. This will not work. ah."
"Indeed, Xu Ye is good, but letting him play three times will definitely take away the performance time of other actors. I don't agree with what other actors will think."
"Xu Ye can handle the ratings, so there's no need to show off. Singing one song and performing a skit is fine, but three shows is definitely not good."
Listening to what these people said, Liang Xiaohua suddenly realized.
"If I had known, I would have said that Xu Ye would perform four shows, so would they say that three shows would be enough?"
He didn't waste any more time, but distributed the script of the skit to everyone.
"This is the script submitted by Xu Ye. Let me say first that the skit has been planned and Mo Xincheng and Shi Peijuan have been decided to perform."
After Liang Xiaohua finished speaking, everyone present showed surprise on their faces.
Because some of them had contacted Mo Xincheng, but Mo Xincheng declined.
Now the fact is very clear, Xu Ye invited Mo Xincheng.
This made a few people who said Xu Ye could only sing on stage embarrassed.
No, buddy, how can we refuse you!
