The roar was so loud and powerful that it attracted the attention of everyone in the studio.
Wu Yue's entire team couldn't help but look over there, wondering who was this person with such a bad temper, actually glaring at the director team, was he trying to quit his job?
That's the director team of the Spring Festival Gala, who have the power over the life and death of the program.
It is still just the rehearsal stage. Whether the program can be performed on the Spring Festival Gala will be decided by the director team.
If your work really doesn't meet other people's requirements and you are still here arguing with them, why should they let you stay here?
Everyone looked over and was shocked to find that the uncles from the Spring Festival Gala director team were not angry at all. Instead, they were smiling like grandsons and nodding and bowing to a middle-aged man.
At that time, Sister Xiu and Teacher Miao were shocked. They thought to themselves, who is this person? How could he be so powerful that he could even make those uncles in the Spring Festival Gala director team bow their heads?
Even Wu Yue couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Who is this? What happened?"
Sister Xiu couldn't hold back her gossipy heart and said:
"Wait a minute, I'll go and ask around!"
Sister Xiu has been here for such a long time and is a very versatile person who can chat with anyone.
A few minutes later, he came back and said excitedly:
"I found out. He's Teacher Zheng Ying's agent. You all know Teacher Zheng Ying, right? She's a famous singer, a master of folk singing, and a perennial Spring Festival Gala performer."
In fact, there is no need for Sister Xiu to explain it so clearly. Among the Chinese people in this world, any one who has watched the Spring Festival Gala for a few years knows Teacher Zheng Ying.
Teacher Zheng Ying’s performance at the Spring Festival Gala every year is highly anticipated. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a national treasure-level singer.
This veteran has never missed the Spring Festival Gala. She should be very clear about some of the requirements of the Spring Festival Gala. Now she has such a bad relationship with the director team of the Spring Festival Gala, which is wrong no matter how you look at it.
Even if the director team of this year's Spring Festival Gala is replaced by newcomers, the other staff members should still be veterans, and everyone should have gotten used to each other long ago. Now the agent is here fume-furious, what unacceptable thing has he encountered?
As soon as the quarrel broke out, everyone stopped what they were doing.
On one side is the Spring Festival Gala director team, and on the other side is the god-level singer. If these two sides collide, it will be like Mars hitting the Earth.
You should know that Senior Zheng Ying is not just a singer, she is currently teaching at the Central Conservatory of Music. Over the years, she has many students all over the world. This is why the Spring Festival Gala director team is so polite to her.
Although his students are not big stars, many of them hold important positions.
In a place like Beijing, if you embarrass others, your future life will probably not be very comfortable.
So even if the assistant director was scolded by the other party's agent, he still had to say calmly:
"Brother Zheng, it's really boring for you to be like this. We are all here for work!"
Zheng Ying's agent is Zheng Hao, her nephew. They chose to use someone close to them as their agent, firstly because they know him well, and secondly, because Zheng Ying is old, it would be more convenient to have someone close to her to help her out.
Zheng Hao snorted coldly, his nose not a nose and his face not a face said:
"Stop it, don't you know what Teacher Zheng's health is like right now? You've changed your mind three times in one day. Can she handle it?"
"Let me ask you this: if something really happens to the old man's health, will you be responsible, or will the director be responsible?"
When the assistant director heard this, sweat instantly covered his forehead.
My goodness, this hat is too big!
If something really happened to the old lady on the stage during the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, how could he bear the responsibility?
If that time really comes, Teacher Zheng Ying’s students will eat him!
"Brother, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just an assistant director. You know, the title of assistant director sounds impressive, but I'm nothing. I'm just a messenger for the director."
"The Spring Festival Gala's ratings have been getting worse over the past two years, and we're worried about it. This year, our superiors have told us to be innovative in our programming, and we're really stuck with it!"
"Look at me! I'm only thirty years old, and look at how much hair I'm losing. Honestly, every time I get up in the morning, there are clumps of hair on my pillow."
"My dear brother, you also feel sorry for me. We are all working for the cause. Please discuss this with Teacher Zheng Ying and we can work together."
Zheng Hao was indeed very angry just now, but after yelling, he calmed down.
Looking at the assistant director in front of him, Zheng Hao shook his head helplessly and said:
"Old Liu, this isn't the first time we've worked together. You should know my temper and what kind of person Teacher Zheng is. As long as it's work-related, we'll definitely cooperate if we can. But Teacher Zheng's current health condition is like this. We originally didn't plan to let her continue, but she's always been obsessed with this. She wants to sing one more time as a farewell performance."
"Our work has been polished for a long time and has been tested by countless audiences. It can be said that there are absolutely no problems. In this case, why would the director team not let us perform?"
Assistant Director Liu continued to wipe the sweat from his head and said:
"It's not that we're not allowed to go on stage, it's that the director team feels that the program could use some adjustments to see if some popular elements can be incorporated. As you know, the main audience for the Spring Festival Gala these days is young people, so we have to cater to their preferences. You have to understand us too!"
"I don't understand shit. She's almost 80, and she's singing in traditional Chinese style. How can you expect us to incorporate pop elements? Do you really want her to sing and dance and rap on stage?"
"Do the directors realize that this is already a perfect work and any slight change could have ripple effects on the entire production?"
"If you want to innovate, then go find other programs to innovate. Why bother with our old lady?"
The two of them exchanged sharp words, but in the end they still couldn't reach an agreement.
Finally, Deputy Director Liu lost his patience and waved his hand:
"Brother Zheng, let me put this on hold. If your program doesn't change, the director team will definitely not approve it. This isn't just my opinion, it's the opinion of the entire director team. You decide for yourself!"
"Fuck, who are you trying to scare? Get off my chest..."
Zheng Hao was so angry that he wanted to go forward and continue arguing, but by then Zheng Ying had already come close and said:
"Never mind, that's it. Looks like God won't let me finish my last performance. Old guys like us really should be swept into the garbage heap of time."
After saying this, Teacher Zheng Ying turned around and looked back with nostalgia at the stage where she had stepped onto countless times, her eyes full of reluctance and regret.
