The next morning, the filming of the MV for Tang Xiaobao's single "Peach Blossom Dream" was completed.

In the afternoon, Tang Xiaobao and Wanru returned to the hotel together and received another call from CCTV.

It was Lang Kun who called, asking him to pick up Lu Yan and go to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala crew. He said the director team and several opera experts were there.

Authoritative consultants in the industry are also present.

In desperation, Tang Xiaobao had to let Wanru stay in the hotel alone while he drove to pick up Lu Yan.

CCTV Spring Festival Gala crew.

Lang Kun and several other directors were sitting together discussing the program.

"I still hold the same opinion. The group dance 'Tiger Roars in the Mountains' was indeed well-choreographed, and the performers have put in a lot of effort during this period, but I still hope to save this program for the Lantern Festival Gala."

The directors looked at each other.

We are not fools, so who doesn’t know what’s going on?

This Lu Yan is totally unknown, so it is impossible for her to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

But Lang Kun recommends it so strongly, is there any trick involved?

Lang Kun has a veto power over all major matters of the director team.

For example, if he thinks a program is not good, he can take it down.

But this time, he still held the meeting very democratically.

Because he feels guilty.

We all have a very good relationship and understand each other very well. When it comes to work, we always deal with the matter rather than the person.

Assistant Director Cheng Yun spoke up: "Honestly speaking, with Tang Xiaobao's current popularity, there is no problem for him to be on the Spring Festival Gala, and he has been nominated by the higher-ups. However, if he appears on two shows at once, it might cause some people to gossip. We should be cautious."

Another assistant director said, "It doesn't matter if he does two shows. As long as we arrange the order of performance, with his popularity and influence, this year's Spring Festival Gala ratings will definitely be a huge success. The question is, can he sing Huangmei Opera? Or maybe someone else can sing a duet with him."

"Yes, I'm worried about this too. Teacher Han, Teacher Huang, you're masters of Huangmei Opera, so why don't you say a few words?"

Someone finally mentioned these two.

Han Shaofen and Huang Zhixin are both masters of Huangmei Opera. Although they have faded from the audience's sight now, in this competition, when it comes to Huangmei Opera, they are definitely the authority among authorities.

It is naturally a good thing that Huangmei Opera is performed on the Spring Festival Gala.

Han Shaofen smiled and said, "I personally think it's a great opportunity to promote Huangmei Opera to the general public. As for Tang Xiaobao not being able to sing, that's not a big deal. As long as she can sing, it's fine. After all, she didn't come from a professional background. As long as she sings, the mission of passing on our national culture will be accomplished. It will allow more people to appreciate and like Huangmei Opera. I think this is worthy of attention and support."

Obviously, she supports having Tang Xiaobao and Lu Yan on this show.

But Huang Zhixin disagreed: "Teacher Han, Huangmei Opera is a treasure of our China, passed down for hundreds of years and designated by the country as one of the five major operas. It is first and foremost an art form, and shouldn't we be in awe of art? I personally think that it's wrong to sell dog meat under the guise of sheep. If he can't sing, he can't go on stage. That will give many audiences a wrong understanding of Huangmei Opera, which will not only fail to play a positive role, but will also make people dislike Huangmei Opera."

Oh, the two authorities started fighting first.

Next, several assistant directors also expressed their opinions.

To sum up, there are two completely different voices.

Led by Han Shaofen, those who supported Tang Xiaobao in singing Huangmei Opera did not matter whether he sang well or not.

Those led by Huang Xinde opposed Tang Xiaobao's singing of Huangmei Opera, believing that he was tarnishing the art.

But no matter what, the final decision still lies with Lang Kun.

He is the chief director.

The power given to him by his superiors is enormous, but the pressure is also great, and he has to bear all the consequences alone.

"Are you done?"

Lang Kun said, "I understand now. Everyone is mainly against Tang Xiaobao singing Huangmei Opera. They think that if he doesn't sing well, it will bring shame to the art form of Huangmei Opera, right?"

Everyone agrees.

"But have you ever thought about what would happen if Tang Xiaobao could sing Huangmei Opera well?"

ah?

A group of people looked at each other.

Huang Zhixin said, "Coach Lang, Huangmei Opera should be taught from a young age. It's best to practice it from a young age. It's not something you can learn in a few days. Tang Xiaobao has a great voice, I've heard. If he learns Huangmei Opera, he'll have a bright future. But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. He hasn't received systematic and scientific training yet, and he doesn't even understand the pronunciation of Huangmei Opera. How can he possibly sing well?"

"Yes, Coach Lang, you also said that this program was just added a few days ago. It seems that Tang Xiaobao has never learned to sing opera before. The time is too tight. It would be better if it was three months earlier. At least we could find a professional teacher for urgent training. Who can teach him now?"

"An expert can tell whether you have it or not right away. There's a big difference between being able to sing and being able to sing well. There are two Huangmei counties in the country, and there are so many opera fans. They are experts. As soon as you open your mouth, they can tell where you have a problem. You can't hide it."

"How about lip syncing?"

Lang Kun frowned upon hearing this and said, "I told you, as long as I'm the director, I won't allow lip-syncing. Besides, Tang Xiaobao wouldn't do it, so let's not talk about it."

"Now what to do? You decide."

The assistant director said in a muffled voice.

Everyone looked at Lang Kun.

Lang Kun smiled and said, "I know that nothing I say now will convince you. I've already notified the two actors to come over. They're probably done with makeup by now. Let's go to Hall 3 and see the rehearsal. After you've seen and heard it all, we can discuss it later, okay?"

ah?

Everyone was a little stunned.

After all this time, you must have been prepared for this, so what's the point of discussing it?

Then, Lang Kun led a group of people to Hall No. 3.

The a cappella concert has already started here, and some staff are still setting up the stage on site. Tonight, a variety show will be recording a special New Year edition here.

"Come on, come on, sit down."

Lang Kun asked everyone to sit in the front row.

Then he waved to his assistant and whispered a few words in his ear, and the assistant went to arrange everything.

At this time, backstage, Tang Xiaobao was wearing a gauze hat, holding a folding fan in his hand, waving a long robe, and had makeup on his face, looking like a handsome young man.

He was not idle. After arriving, he put on makeup first and then took photos with the staff.

Now the staff are almost familiar with him.

"Here she comes, Sister Lu is here."

Someone said something.

Tang Xiaobao turned around and was stunned.
