Chen Minhao probably guessed what Zhang Xushan wanted to say from Zhang Xushan's foreshadowing, but Chen Minhao still smiled and asked: "You don't have to be so polite. What is it?"
Zhang Xushan looked at Chen Minhao and said, "Can you sing a new song on the Spring Festival Gala?"
"New song?" Chen Minhao pretended to be surprised.
Zhang Xushan drank a glass of liquor to himself and entered the complaining mode: "The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala have been getting lower and lower in recent years, but more than ten years ago, the Spring Festival Gala was an indispensable part of the Spring Festival. There is a Spring Festival Gala It’s called Chinese New Year. On New Year’s Eve, a large family will happily watch the Spring Festival Gala in front of the TV and enjoy the moment of reunion. The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala can even reach 40%. It is the happiest time to be a Spring Festival Gala director at that time. It is also the most fulfilling.
But times have changed now, and people are paying less and less attention to the Spring Festival Gala. In the past few years, after the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast every year, many viewers raised various questions about the Spring Festival Gala and made various complaints about the Spring Festival Gala. However, in the past two years, there have been fewer doubts and complaints from the audience. It’s not that the Spring Festival Gala satisfied everyone, but that the Spring Festival Gala was ignored by everyone and its existence became less and less important. Now the pressure of being a director of the Spring Festival Gala is increasing. "
Chen Minhao filled Zhang Xushan's glass and comforted him: "Director Zhang, don't put too much pressure on yourself. This is the overall trend and trend of the times."
Zhang Xushan sighed and said: "Hey, you are right, this is the change of the times. Today's young people have changed. They don't watch the TV on New Year's Eve to watch the Spring Festival Gala. In the past, people only watched Apart from the Spring Festival Gala, there is basically nothing else to do, but now people can do a lot of things after the New Year’s Eve dinner. Today’s young people either play mahjong, cards, or simply play with their mobile phones as usual. Some young people simply I went abroad during the Chinese New Year."
Chen Minhao nodded and thought to himself: Last year, he filmed "Detective" in Curry Country during the Chinese New Year and did not return to China for the Spring Festival. On New Year's Eve, the entire crew made dumplings together. Although the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast on TV at the time, not many people watched it, and even fewer people discussed it.
Chen Minhao could only fill up another glass of liquor for Zhang Xushan and clink glasses with him to express his comfort.
Zhang Xushan looked at Chen Minhao with diligent and eager eyes: "Chen Minhao, you must help me. If you don't help me, I can't think of any other way."
Chen Minhao couldn't tell for a while whether Zhang Xushan was complimenting him or whether that was what he really thought in his heart.
If he really thinks so, Chen Minhao feels that the Spring Festival Gala director is a bit naive.
Zhang Xushan just analyzed the reasons for the decline in attention to the Spring Festival Gala: Nowadays, people's entertainment methods have become richer, which is indeed one of the factors, but this is only an external cause. The most fundamental reason for the decline in attention of the Spring Festival Gala is that the quality of the Spring Festival Gala has declined.
More than ten years ago, the Spring Festival Gala was very down-to-earth. Compared with the current Spring Festival Gala, there was more satire and less praise.
Chen Minhao once read a statement about the reason why the Spring Festival Gala was born: the Spring Festival Gala was created to allow the people to adapt to the situation and culture after reform and opening up. In other words, the Spring Festival Gala attempts to regulate and influence the relationship between the general situation and the people, thereby promoting social progress.
Therefore, the sketches in the Spring Festival Gala at that time were funny and connotative, and could be enjoyed by both refined and popular people. Some of the Spring Festival Gala skits from more than ten years ago still seem to be enjoyable now, but the current Spring Festival Gala is not very down-to-earth, preachy and sensational.
Will Chen Minhao tell these words to Zhang Xushan
Of course not, he's not stupid.
Because there are some things that Zhang Xushan, as the director of the Spring Festival Gala, can say, he can complain about the Spring Festival Gala without restraint, but Chen Minhao cannot. Only the state officials were allowed to set fires, but the people were not allowed to light lamps. What this sentence teaches us is: since we are common people, we must be aware of it.
Chen Minhao does not believe that the current situation and reputation of the Spring Festival Gala can be changed by a singer on his own. I cannot carry the banner of the Spring Festival Gala as a singer myself, even if I am a singer who has traveled through time and can plagiarize.
Chen Minhao was confident that he would come up with a song that would be suitable for the Spring Festival Gala and would be widely sung, but he did not have the confidence to meet Zhang Xushan's expectations - to reverse the situation of the Spring Festival Gala.
Chen Minhao smiled and shook his head and said: "I have just released an album, and I am still young. You asked me to go on stage to sing a song from the past. I can try hard, but you asked me to write a brand new song in a short time." , and go to the Spring Festival Gala stage to sing. I'm afraid I messed up, I'm sorry, after all, so many people across the country are watching the Spring Festival Gala."
Zhang Xushan said: "Oh, Xiao Chen, you are too humble. From your debut to now, which song you have sung is not good? And Hu Defa had already heard about it when he helped you shoot the MV. You write a song The song time is very fast, it only takes about a week to write a song.”
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "Zhang Xushan arranged for me clearly. He came completely prepared."
Zhang Xushan continued to say sincerely: "If the ratings of this year's Spring Festival Gala are not much higher than those of some talent show variety shows, then it will be like throwing my old face from the end of the year to the beginning of the year. So, I hope I have already thought about increasing the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala through you singing a new song in the Spring Festival Gala. I will keep the program of this Spring Festival Gala strictly confidential in the early stage, and then announce the list of performers one month before the Spring Festival Gala, and let out gossip that you want to Sing a new song on the Spring Festival Gala. I confirmed the news a week before the Spring Festival Gala and made it a full stunt. This will increase the ratings.
Chen Minhao realized that he was thinking wrongly. Perhaps Zhang Xushan never thought about reversing the Spring Festival Gala's predicament from the beginning. All he wanted was to increase the ratings.
In the context of the sole purpose of ratings, whether it is a white cat or a black cat, it is a good cat if it catches the mouse. Therefore, operational activities centered on his new songs came into being. It can only be said that Zhang Xushan is indeed a director who has been working in the field of commercial films for many years.
But isn’t that just drinking poison to quench thirst? If this is solved this year, what will happen next year? Two gimmicks
Zhang Xushan saw Chen Minhao frowning. When he was thinking, he was afraid that he would say "no", so he decided to strike while the iron was hot: "Nowadays, Spring Festival Gala directors generally do not serve for three consecutive terms, so this year's Spring Festival Gala may be the last one I direct." One term. If you do me this favor, I will owe you a big favor."
Chen Minhao nodded and said, "I'll give it a try, but I have a small request."
A bright smile appeared on Zhang Xushan's face: "You said, if you want to adjust the order of the show, I can help you arrange it as long as it is within a reasonable range."
Chen Minhao shook his head and said: "That's not true. Just arrange the program sequence according to your rhythm. I will definitely cooperate with the program sequence. I just want two front-row Spring Festival tickets."
Zhang Xushan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you want to give it to your parents? Haha, it's trivial."
Chen Minhao picked up a glass of white wine and said: "Director Zhang, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will try my best. I will write the song first. If you are not satisfied with the song in the end, just tell me directly. Don't be embarrassed." "
Chen Minhao struggled for a while, but finally agreed, mainly based on three considerations.
First, the attention of the Spring Festival Gala has indeed decreased in recent years, but the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is still attractive to Chen Minhao, so deep down Chen Minhao still hopes that he can win this "copy achievement". And if you shine on the Spring Festival Gala stage, it will be helpful to improve your celebrity status and move closer to the goal of becoming a global superstar.
Second, Dad Chen has an inexplicable obsession with Chen Minhao from the older generation on TV and the Spring Festival Gala. Chen Minhao hopes that his father's wishes will be fulfilled.
Third, no matter what Zhang Xushan's original intention was, he helped him connect with Hu Defa, which in a certain sense contributed to his starring role in "Detective". The influence of "Detective" on me is self-evident. If you are a kind person, you must repay the kindness.
After seeing Chen Minhao nodding, Zhang Xushan laughed and said: "That's great. I feel relieved to have you writing songs. I should give you a toast. By the way, I have a small request. With you This trump card makes my heart fall back into my stomach, but a tree alone cannot make a forest. In addition to your original song, I also hope to find some other influential singers. I heard that you and Yao Yiyi are very close. , how about you help me introduce him?"
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and said: "She and I are very familiar? Who did you hear that? Although she and I have collaborated, we don't have many personal relationships."
Zhang Xushan said in surprise: "Ah, aren't you familiar with each other? I had approached Yao Yiyi before and invited her to attend the Spring Festival Gala, but she said she was not familiar with the place, so she declined politely. But then she said that if you If you attend the Spring Festival Gala, she will also attend. So I thought you two were quite familiar with each other."
