Chapter 387 Preparation
The next day, Chen Qi and Huang Yihe met.
Huang Yihe's hair seemed to have turned white overnight. He had never experienced such a fast-paced work task, but he also took out a program list and the two exchanged views.
Huang Yihe seems to have a lot of programs, but the categories are monotonous and the candidates are all very old and they are all industry authorities.
Chen Qi's programs are just the opposite. They are diverse and varied, and the average age is very young.
"Director Huang, the Peking Opera, magic, and acrobatics you chose are all very good, and they are a good complement to my content."
"But the program you chose..."
Huang Yihe grinned and said bluntly: "For example, I have heard about the Five Golden Flowers of Huangmei Opera, but what kind of group is Zhejiang Little Baihua? I have never heard of it. Can I let them come?"
"It's OK, it's OK, only new faces are fresh!"
"There is also Li Lingyu. Although the songs she sang in "Tai Chi" are popular all over the country, they have also been criticized by some leaders. Can the music and pornographic songs be sung in public?"
"Old Huang, I think it is like this..."
Chen Qi's names for people change rapidly, saying: "No matter what happens, there must be people who support it and people who oppose it, right?"
"Um!"
"But our country's reform is definitely moving forward, but some people's thoughts have not yet changed. For example, songs need an opportunity to complete this change. Why do you think I set up a phone interaction session?"
The leader may not care if one person orders "Beauty Song", but what if two people order it? What about three or four people?
These days, do you know what the identities of those who can make phone calls are? "
"..."
Huang Yihe was stunned, yes, who can have a phone these days?
"Anyway, this matter is organized by us, and we will be responsible if anything happens!"
"Oh well!"
Huang Yihe shook his head. He was the leader and he would be responsible for anything that happened. Why should he talk more?
The two of them immediately discussed and preliminarily decided on about 30 programs. This program was just an idea and not implemented. They invited people and communicated with each other... maybe more or less, and finally decided.
Chen Qi also looked at the venue. It was really small.
With an area of 600 square meters, there is not much decoration to be done. At most, there is a bridge in the background.
"The "News Network" preview of the day will start at 8 o'clock. 30 seconds before the start, we will make a countdown screen. Can you do it? With the sound of the clock ticking, people across the country are counting down together.
The opening must be lively, with loud gongs and drums, full of joy, and call for all the dancers, as many as possible, wearing bright red clothes..."
"We don't have the funds to buy clothes!" Huang Yihe reminded.
"I'll do it! Wear red clothes and dance a section, then separate left and right, and four hosts come out from the middle. They must smile on their faces, clasp their fists and hold their hands in hand, saying Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
The atmosphere suddenly rose.
The first formal program can be singing, and then the actors will be introduced, and the audience will be asked to play and guess riddles... followed by language categories, cross talk and sketches, to heat up the place first..."
Chen Qi talked eloquently, and Huang Yihe became more and more surprised the more he listened, as if the entire party had been played out in his mind from beginning to end.
And it's the kind that's been tempered for thousands of times.
"Why?"
At the end of his speech, Chen Qi suddenly said: "Can you please invite the leaders to come to the scene?"
"What are you going to do?" Huang Yihe's eyes widened.
“New Year’s greetings to audiences across the country!”
"No, no, absolutely no! Your content is already so bold that it breaks the sky, so don't add any more!"
Huang Yihe was sweating.
Chen Qi shrugged, okay, I think the leader actually came to the scene in person to wish everyone New Year's greetings.
…………
Not to mention how to study it here, as soon as the imperial edict was issued, relevant literary and artistic groups across the country began to become restless.
Hangzhou.
This year, in order to cultivate new opera talents, the Zhejiang folk art circle selected 400 opera students from more than 2,000 opera students across the province to participate in the performance, and selected 40 more people to form the Xiaobaihua Yue Opera Troupe.
In the next few years, Xiaobaihua will tour the country and even perform in Hong Kong to build a great reputation.
In the small theater, a group of girls were sweating profusely, rehearsing a new play "Five Girls Pay Birthday Wishes". The male characters in it were all in reverse roles. Later, the play was made into a movie.
Tao Huimin plays the fifth daughter.
During the break, she walked aside, took out an exquisite thermos cup from her bag, and took a sip of water.
This cup was given to her by Teacher Chen when she went to Hong Kong to film "Tai Chi 2". He Qing also had one... She missed the experience of making movies very much, but unfortunately she came back after filming and didn't contact her again.
"Xiao Tao!"
A woman came over. She was very distinctive, both old and young.
Her name is He Saifei.
"Ask you something..."
He Saifei said mysteriously: "Did the Ministry of Culture arrange for us to perform in the capital?"
"Huh? I don't know!"
"How could you not know? You know someone in the capital, so ask around!"
"Oh, who can I know..."
Tao Huimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At this moment, Mao Weitao also came over, equally mysterious: "I heard about it too, it seems to be some kind of party, and the leaders are studying it."
"Are we all going?"
"It seems like we should pick a few people..."
"Come here, everyone! Come here!"
A teacher suddenly came on stage, clapped his hands and called everyone together, saying: "Let me tell you something, the Ministry of Culture and CCTV are holding a Spring Festival gala, let us choose five people to send."
"Teacher! Why five people?" Mao Weitao raised his hand and asked.
"Because Anhui Huangmei Opera also selected five, which are what they call the Five Golden Flowers. The program group wants us to compete."
The girls chattered immediately.
"This time it will be broadcast nationwide on New Year's Eve. You have to work harder. We will select the best five people to represent Zhejiang and Yue Opera!"
…………
Anhui, Huangmei Opera Troupe.
Ma Lan, Wu Qiong, Wu Yaling, Yuan Mei, and Yang Jun also received the news. Why are they called the Five Golden Flowers? Because they have performed in Hong Kong last year, and the Hong Kong media gave them this nickname.
The public should be more familiar with Ma Lan, who played the mother of Tang Monk in "Journey to the West" and later married Yu Qiuyu.
Then there is Yuan Mei, who played Xiren in "Dream of Red Mansions".
"Zhejiang Yue Opera also selected five, and they may compete at that time!"
"Competition? We are not afraid!"
"Competition!"
The Little Hundred Flowers have not yet become famous. They are more popular than Yue Opera and are very ambitious.
…
Zhou Jie and Dong Zhizhi are both from Shanghai Opera and Dance Theater.
Zhou Jie was filming a play by Li Hanxiang, and Li Hanxiang scolded Chen Qi again, always thinking about the people in his group. Chen Qi met Dong Zhizhi once in Shanghai when he was casting for "Justice Bao" that year, so they knew each other.
Even if these two are not actors, they are excellent dancers and have the ability to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.
Zhang Jingdi from Gansu Opera and Dance Troupe, the leading actor of the dance drama "Silk Road Flower Rain", played the White Crane Fairy in "Journey to the West", had no lines, and was only responsible for dancing.
Anyway, these people were very surprised to receive the invitation, but they had to go.
The most surprised ones were naturally Chen Peisi and Lao Mao...
Chen Peisi used to work in the countryside, and his father Chen Qiang used his connections to transfer him back and stuffed him into the Bayi Film Studio, where he filmed several plays and became a little famous.
Zhu Shimao was from the Fuzhou Military Region Drama Troupe. He became famous with The Shepherd and will be transferred to the Bayi Film Studio next year. That’s how he met Chen Peisi and started a bad relationship.
Chen Qi came to them alone, so they were all very surprised.
Lao Mao was far away and couldn’t come, so Chen Peisi came directly.
