When twenty-one carefully selected "special dancers" arrived at the CCTV studio, a complex look flashed across Li Mingrui's eyes.

Lu Yuan really wants to do this!

Although Yang Ping's words in the media undoubtedly created a huge hype for the Spring Festival Gala, Li Mingrui still felt a little worried from time to time.

after all……

This is the first time for this special dancer to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

If Li Mingrui was in charge of this year's Spring Festival Gala, he would have played it safe and would have rejected these people.

It's not that he's hard-hearted...

But he doesn't like taking risks.

If anything goes wrong with these people on stage, it won't just be a performance mistake!

A show that more than one billion people are watching!

Any mistake is a major mistake!

Of course, although he still wanted to persuade Lu Yuan to be more stable and consider the impact more, he finally chose to give up.

What can he do?

This year's Spring Festival Gala director is Lu Yuan. At best, he is an assistant director...

Moreover, looking at Lu Yuan's appearance, he knew that he could not persuade him.

He just needs to do his job as an assistant director honestly. Whether the Spring Festival Gala is good or bad has nothing to do with him, right?

But he just wanted to be his assistant director.

but……

"Director Li, I'll leave this program to you..."

“…”

"Director Li, you are more experienced in this area, please help me..."

“…”

"Director Li, how should the assistant lighting director over there set the lighting? Is it okay for me to design it this way? Director Li, how about you give me a hand?"

“…”

"Director Li, I know this is not the job of an assistant director, but Director Li, you should understand that this is my first time directing a Spring Festival Gala and I don't have much experience. All I can do is to pull out the programs that can be pulled. Other than that, I don't have any other way, right?"

“…”

"Director Li, thank you for your hard work. By the way, I have prepared some more deer penis for you. If you think it's not enough, I also have some excellent things to replenish qi, nourish essence and nourish the kidneys. Well, as much as you want, as much as you want!"

“…”

When Lu Yuan looked at Li Mingrui with a silly expression and a smile on his lips, Li Mingrui realized that he had fallen into a trap.

And it’s a huge pit that you can’t climb out of no matter how hard you try.

He shouldn't have agreed to Lu Yuan's request to help Lu Yuan be the assistant director!

Um……

Although he is called assistant director!

but……

It's Li Mingrui who does all the messy director's work!

Moreover, it would be fine if you said that Lu Yuan was cheating him, after all, it was really tiring to see Lu Yuan running in and out every few days to help plan the program.

But why do we have to force whips on him every other day?

Is this going to starve him to death?

and……

Can he use this thing?

He is still going strong!

…

Actually…

Basically everyone in the Spring Festival Gala program team looks at these "special dancers" strangely.

Everyone felt it was weird.

At the same time, they are also very curious.

Curious about what kind of program Lu Yuan will give them.

However, it was a pity that they only saw this group of people walking into the dance studio, but no one knew what they were performing inside...

They only know the name "Thousand-Armed Guanyin".

Apart from this, the whole process has been kept secret. Even some other program planners of the Spring Festival Gala have no idea what form "Thousand-Handed Guanyin" will appear in...

What’s even more exaggerated is that as well as knowing nothing about it, Lu Yuan even asked them to sign a confidentiality agreement.

In particular, the words "special dancers", "deaf-mute people" and "Thousand-armed Guanyin" are not allowed to be promoted in any form in public media...

All of this has to be kept secret?

So, over time, this made them even more curious.

As time went by, their curiosity grew stronger as they watched this group of "special dancers" coming in and out.

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask the assistant director Li Mingrui. They hoped that Li Mingrui could reveal some of the inside story.

"I don't know either. These things are not my business..."

“…”

“…”

Um?

The assistant director doesn’t know either?

What is this for?

How exciting is this show?

…

The program "Thousand-Armed Guanyin" must be kept confidential.

As for the words "special dancers", they must also be kept confidential.

Chen Liangang and these young people don’t want these things to become the selling points of the show!

There is no reason and no excuse.

On the same stage, what can truly win respect and applause is never selling misery or sympathy, but always a wonderful performance.

Lu Yuan understood their psychology very well.

This mentality itself is something worthy of respect.

Therefore, whenever Lu Yuan has time, he will personally go to the rehearsal site of "Thousand-Armed Guanyin" and do his best to help these young people do what they can to improve the program.

Young people looked at the Spring Festival Gala director who was busy like Chairman Chen Liangang, and everyone's eyes were wet...

They were deeply moved.

Some things are mutual. They were moved by each other, and with a determination to prove themselves, the progress of "Thousand-Armed Guanyin" was even faster than Lu Yuan had imagined!

After only a week, "Thousand-Armed Guanyin" began to look quite good. As long as he continued to practice hard for a while, Lu Yuan believed that he would be able to master "Thousand-Armed Guanyin".

Lu Yuan was very relieved.

but……

Lu Yuan was not idle or relieved.

Although all the programs of the Spring Festival Gala have been basically finalized so far, and all the busyness in various aspects has been contracted out to the "good guy" Li Mingrui, Lu Yuan is still thinking about things such as the opening and ending special effects of the Spring Festival Gala.

At last year's Spring Festival Gala, a dragon shocked the audience.

This year is the Year of the Snake Spring Festival Gala.

There are naturally some differences between the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Snake and that of the Year of the Dragon. At least the momentum of the Year of the Snake cannot be weaker than that of the Year of the Dragon.

Snakes and dragons...

How to convert between them?

Lu Yuan carefully pondered the reasons for this special effect...

Only after all aspects of the special effects have been resolved, can Lu Yuan be completely relieved about this year's Spring Festival Gala.

…

"Brother Liu, what do you think of this year's special effects? Do you have any good ideas?"

"Mr. Lu, can I see the process and template of the Spring Festival Gala?"

"The process and templates are in your mailbox..."

"Oh oh oh, I'll go check it out now..."

"Brother Liu, how many days have you not slept? Why are your dark circles so serious?"

"I stayed up all night last night. It's not a big deal. We often stay up all night. I'll go catch up on some sleep later."

"You'd better take care of your health. There are many cases of sudden death among young people nowadays!"

"Mr. Lu, I understand. I'll go to bed after I finish reading the plan..."

"You go to bed now!"

"ah?"

"Now, immediately, right away!"

"this……"

"go!"

"All right."

In Industrial Electric Magic Huaxia Company.

Lu Yuan knocked on Liu Chen's office door.

He originally wanted to talk to Liu Chen about the special effects of the Spring Festival Gala. He wanted to see what Liu Chen himself thought. But before he could say a few words, he was shocked when he saw Liu Chen's messy hair and dark circles and bloodshot eyes...

Liu Chen looked very haggard.

As Industrial Electric Magic became more and more famous internationally, they received more and more orders for programs. Basically, most of the special effects of Chinese films were contracted by Industrial Electric Magic, and many orders from Hollywood also came directly to them.

Liu Chen is very busy!

Although the company has expanded to about 200 people, and there are also about 100 interns, the company is still very busy with various tasks. Liu Chen, as the head of the company, is not immune to this. It is common for him to work all night long...

Lu Yuan was really afraid that Liu Chen would die suddenly!

That would be a huge sin, and he didn’t even dare to let Liu Chen do the special effects for the Spring Festival Gala.

After seeing Lu Yuan's very serious expression, Liu Chen finally gave in, put down the work at hand obediently, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the lounge next to the office.

but……

Liu Chen had just left the office less than half an hour before he rushed back in, staring at Lu Yuan excitedly with his red and bloodshot eyes.

"Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu!"

"Brother Liu, why are you..."

"I know how to do it. Last year was the Year of the Dragon, so we made a dragon. This year's Spring Festival Gala is the Year of the Snake, so we'll make a snake! As soon as I lay down just now, I dreamed of a snake! A big snake!"

"Snake?" Lu Yuan was stunned.

"Yes, snake! Mr. Lu, python, python! There are stories of pythons turning into snakes in Chinese legends from ancient times to the present. I just watched your Spring Festival Gala program and suddenly realized something, that is, the Spring Festival Gala program, the Spring Festival Gala program, do you understand what I mean?!"

"......?" Lu Yuan was confused when he saw the extremely excited Liu Chen. He didn't understand at all.

"That's right... Mr. Lu, can we do this at the beginning? Make a special effect of a python swimming in the river? This special effect may not be as shocking as the sudden appearance of the dragon last year, but we can make the process of the python turning into a dragon extremely shocking. We can even add special effects of the transformation process at the moment when the curtain falls after each show ends..."

"You mean..."

"Yes! Mr. Lu, do you have no performance for this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

"Um……"

"Do you have a song called Descendants of the Dragon?"

"right."

"Mr. Lu, what do you think of adding a relatively grand finale? I calculated the time and it might be just right if we insert the song 'Descendants of the Dragon'. At the same time, we can..."

"I understand! Let's do it!"

When Lu Yuan saw Liu Chen who was extremely excited, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He suddenly realized that Liu Chen was a fucking planning genius.

If we really use special effects to create the transformation of the entire Spring Festival Gala, from a python to a five-clawed golden dragon in the sky, and then combine it with the background of the lyrics in "Descendants of the Dragon", then...

Absolutely perfect!

"Boss Lu...I will start preparing the materials now!"

"Brother Liu, you need to rest!"

"Boss Lu, it's okay. I'm still young. I won't have any problems. Sudden death? There's no way I can die suddenly! I want to see Industrial Electric Magic become the world's number one special effects company, the real world's number one. How can I die suddenly?" Liu Chen suddenly became even more excited. Especially with his messy hair and red eyes, he looked extremely crazy...

"Brother Liu, have you, have you been... brainwashed?" Lu Yuan was frightened again.

It feels like Liu Chen is really like a fanatical lunatic.

"Ah? Mr. Lu, isn't this our dream from the beginning? You told me so! I remember you said that everything we have must be the best in the world!"

"I never said that..."

"Oh, Mr. Lu, I suddenly remembered! Your appearance, I suddenly thought of it. You can appear riding a giant dragon transformed from a snake, singing while appearing. What do you think?" However, Liu Chen seemed to have not heard Lu Yuan's words at all. He continued to stare at Lu Yuan excitedly, with the light in his eyes becoming more and more intense.

"..." Lu Yuan suddenly didn't know what to say.

This guy...

It's like taking some drugs...

More excited than myself as the director.

He was really worried that Liu Chen would die suddenly...
