Last year's Spring Festival Gala.
Li Mingrui received a standing ovation.
Not only did the total ratings explode, but it also won unanimous praise from relevant departments, especially Lu Yuan's confession of love, which not only became the ratings king of last year's Spring Festival Gala, but even the song "The Rest of My Life" brought a warm current of love throughout the winter...
After that night, how many ignorant couples got together, how many young men who didn't dare to confess before rushed to the goddess' yard with guitars, and how many condoms were sold out...
Cough, cough…
In short, last year's Spring Festival Gala was a great success for Li Mingrui, which allowed him to directly break the history of previous Spring Festival Galas and became the most brilliant record in Li Mingrui's directorial career.
Li Mingrui was satisfied.
He is ready to retire!
Yes!
It is enough for him to have such a glorious life. He plans to bid farewell to his job as a director after finishing filming "Blood War 3" next year, and take care of his grandchildren and enjoy family happiness.
But!
Unexpectedly, when Li Mingrui thought that this year's Spring Festival Gala had nothing to do with him, the old leader of the relevant department found him and drank with him with a smile.
Li Mingrui didn't care much at first and just drank it. However, as he drank it, he felt that the taste of the wine was becoming more and more wrong.
The old leader seemed to intentionally or unintentionally bring the topic to the Spring Festival Gala. He first praised Li Mingrui for the great success of last year's Spring Festival Gala, and then lamented about what to do and how to deal with this year's Spring Festival Gala...
In short, it is a pity that the older generation of directors are either too conservative and don’t understand the tastes of young people, or they are a little behind the times and want to retire...
There is a gap between the Mesozoic generation of directors and few who have emerged, but there are a few from the new generation...
But what about the new generation?
Well, those new generation directors are too young. Maybe they can carry the flag of China in the future, but at least for now we can’t leave the Spring Festival Gala to them.
Otherwise, who knows what kind of mess will be created!
After hearing his old leader sighing like that, Li Mingrui slapped the table for some reason!
He said some nonsense like he was still young.
Then……
The old leader's eyes lit up!
He immediately took Li Mingrui's hand and said, "Good comrade, the chief planning of this year's Spring Festival Gala is handed over to you, and the chief director is also handed over to you. In short, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala cannot drop, and the program cannot be too bad. In short, let's do it this way!"
He was just waiting for this bullshit!
Then……
Li Mingrui was stunned.
Ratings?
Last year’s Spring Festival Gala had a highest total viewership of 52, and an average viewership of 47!
This has become a historical record of the Spring Festival Gala.
Don't even mention surpassing...
Even if your highest ratings can be maintained at 47, you'd be awesome, okay?
You said fifty-two?
How is that possible!
As the Internet becomes more and more developed, everyone is watching the Spring Festival Gala on video websites and live broadcast platforms. Who still stays in front of the TV?
If he fails miserably and the ratings drop below 40, his reputation will be ruined.
It's okay to have a brilliant, glorious retirement.
But……
You let him retire in such a bad way.
Will Old Li be able to live out his retirement life going forward?
but……
"Mingrui, we are comrades of similar age. I know you plan to retire next year, but I will retire next year too. Of course, before retirement, everyone should make some contributions, right? I also want to maintain my dignity before retirement..."
The old leader patted Li Mingrui on the shoulder.
The voice sounded somewhat sincere.
Then……
These words left Li Mingrui speechless.
What can Li Mingrui do?
He could only grit his teeth, smile and nod, promising to complete the task assigned by his leader.
When the old leader showed an approving look and left with satisfaction, Li Mingrui's expression became complicated.
After two sleepless nights, I finally asked my assistant to run to Lu Yuan's company overnight with a large stack of information.
…
"Xiao Lu... This is the plan. Take a look. There are many plans in it. Xiao Li, quickly show Xiao Lu the plan we made earlier... Quick!"
"Xiao Lu, this is how I plan to arrange the Spring Festival Gala this year. How about you go on stage and sing a song? Or do you have any good ideas on the spot? Oh, I remember, wasn't it you who planned "A Bite of China"? Xiao Lu, how about this, you help me plan the Spring Festival Gala this year..."
"Xiao Lu, stop yawning. Come and take a look at this report..."
“…”
“…”
Time passes by little by little.
When the sky in the east turned pale, Lu Yuan felt that his mentality was a little broken.
He was so sleepy that he actually dozed off.
As for Li Mingrui?
The old man was in great spirits. He shouted to his assistant Xiao Li to bring a bunch of Spring Festival Gala materials and a bunch of Spring Festival Gala plans that he found from somewhere, and piled them on Lu Yuan's desk, and talked to Lu Yuan about this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Lu Yuan didn't even know what Lao Li was talking about.
Over and over again, he just heard Li Mingrui repeating the same sentence.
That is...
Xiao Lu, you must attend the Spring Festival Gala this year. If you don't attend, my reputation will be ruined. You can't just watch your uncle end up in such a tragic way, right? In short, as long as it is within a reasonable range, you can plan the program yourself and do whatever you want. At the same time, your company can have as many people as you want on the Spring Festival Gala. There is no problem at all. If you want, you can even decide who will be on the Spring Festival Gala and who will not...
Well, in fact, Li Mingrui gave the power of life and death of the Spring Festival Gala to Lu Yuan.
but……
Lu Yuan had no such idea at all.
At this moment, he really wanted to lie down and take a nap and have a good rest.
"Director Li..."
"What's wrong? Have you got any idea?" Li Mingrui looked at Lu Yuan and saw him yawning again, his eyes actually showing some excitement.
"Director Li, can we talk about this tonight? I just want to sleep for a while now..." Lu Yuan finally said this.
"Not asleep?"
"I haven't slept yet... Director Li, look at my dark circles. You don't want to see me die suddenly, do you? There have been a lot of news reports about young people dying suddenly recently..."
"Xiao Lu, don't scare me..." Li Mingrui was frightened by Lu Yuan's appearance.
"I really didn't scare you..." Lu Yuan was quite serious.
"Well, Xiao Lu, eat something and go to sleep. I'll contact you in the evening. By the way, Xiao Lu, does your company have accommodation?" Li Mingrui pushed his reading glasses and then yawned.
"Director Li, what are you doing?"
"I have brought my luggage with me. Xiao Lu, if this plan is not completed, I will live in your company..."
"Fuck, Director Li, you are...too shameless, aren't you?"
"It's an emergency, there's nothing I can do... Xiao Lu, wake up and help me with some advice. My future is depending on you."
“…”
When Lu Yuan saw Li Mingrui's shameless look, he was completely helpless.
This guy is shameless and invincible.
…
perhaps……
Early December was Lu Yuan's most unlucky time.
Yes!
Lu Yuan felt that he might have offended some god or caused some trouble.
In the afternoon, Lu Yuan just woke up, yawned, and was about to wash his face. When he pushed the door open, he saw Li Mingrui's smiling face full of wrinkles.
Lu Yuan was almost frightened to death.
"Xiao Lu, are you awake?"
“…”
"Come on, Xiao Lu, let me introduce you. This is Liu Bangshun, the planner of the Spring Festival Gala. You should know him. Oh, yes, there are also them..."
“…”
Lu Yuan turned his head.
Good guy...
He saw a group of people sitting in the hall without knowing when.
Some of these people Lu Yuan knew were old acquaintances from the Spring Festival Gala production team, and some were...
Chen Feng?
When did Chen Feng come?
What are you here for?
etc!
This is……
Lu Yuan suddenly saw a woman in cheongsam looking at him with a smile.
He looked at the woman, a little confused.
This woman is...
Lu Yuan was stunned.
Asian singing queen Zhou Xiaoxia?
"Director Li, this is..."
"Oh oh oh, these are my team, um... of course, as for Zhou Xiaoxia and the others, cough, cough... they came to see you specifically, and have nothing to do with me..." Li Mingrui coughed lightly in embarrassment.
“…”
“…”
"Mr. Lu, actually, I came here to join your company, and I plan to use the song "Spring" for my new album." Chen Feng smiled when he saw Lu Yuan.
"Oh, Brother Chen, this is fine, no problem at all. Um, Sister Zhou, what are you doing..." Lu Yuan also returned a smile to Chen Feng. It was a good thing for Lu Yuan that Chen Feng could come over.
As for Spring, this song is originally suitable for Chen Feng and was originally intended to be Chen Feng's theme song.
And Zhou Xiaoxia...
What is this Asian diva, who is famous throughout Asia, doing here?
like……
I shouldn't have much in common with her, right?
Lu Yuan looked at Zhou Xiaoxia with some confusion.
"Mr. Lu, I've heard so much about your name abroad. I came here today, firstly, for the Spring Festival Gala. After all, Director Li invited me here some time ago, and I wanted to hear what Director Li has to say about the arrangements. Secondly... Mr. Lu, I came here to ask for a song..." Zhou Xiaoxia was a little chubby, but she had a bright smile on her face, and she didn't hide it, but was quite straightforward.
"Oh oh oh, what are you talking about, Sister Zhou? How about this, everyone come to the meeting room first, and I'll go one by one first?" Although Lu Yuan had a smile on his face, he felt like crying inside.
Yes!
I wanted to wash my face.
But looking at the situation, there is no need to wash your face.
As for what you said about him having eye boogers?
Don't worry so much about this detail.
…
In the conference room.
The evening sun shines through the windows.
Lu Yuan brought a group of people to the meeting room.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath.
"Director Li, how about this? This year's Spring Festival Gala will be on February 15th..."
"yes."
"That is to say, there are still more than three months left. In more than three months, I feel like we can do a Spring Festival Gala talent show?"
"What Spring Festival Gala talent show?"
"The name of the Spring Festival Gala is "I Want to Be on the Spring Festival Gala", which is aimed at the general public..."
"Wait! Tell me in detail!" Chen Bangshun and Li Mingrui's eyes suddenly lit up and they looked at each other!
"That's it. I think this show can be planned like this, um..."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath again.
I haven't said a word yet...
Then I heard the sound of a door being pushed open.
“Bang!”
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu!" Big Liu rushed in like a madman with a shining forehead.
"Da Liu, what's wrong with you? Can't you see I'm in a meeting?"
"No, Mcvis is here!"
"What!"
"McVis is here, right downstairs from our company... He came secretly, and those reporters don't know, but I received news that the airport road is completely blocked!"
"What! What did you say? Maxvis is here?" Lu Yuan widened his eyes.
He was confused.
What the hell...
What day is today?
Why are they all here?
