"Director Li, it's rising again, rising again!"
"How many?"
"Fifty-one-three!"
"Fifty-one-three?"
"right!"
"Very good, very good!"
When Li Mingrui saw the ratings rise again and reach 51.3, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Fifty one point three.
Fifty-three!
Just 1.7 points away from reaching last year's peak ratings.
In this case, this year...
People are always greedy, and this greed will continue to increase as the situation develops.
The same goes for Li Mingrui!
When the Spring Festival Gala just started, he just hoped to maintain last year's performance, and even a slightly lower performance than last year would be acceptable!
After all, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala are considered a very remarkable miracle by everyone, and miracles are generally very difficult to break.
But now, a hope that he shouldn't have suddenly arisen in his heart.
He stared at the ratings data!
This year!
Can it really break through the 53 ratings and create another ratings record that shocks the whole country?
If, I retire with such a super record, then...
My directorial career over the years can really come to a perfect end!
…
Zhou Xiaoxia's "Woman Flower" brought some tears.
After the song was finished, the applause continued.
Li Mingqi looked at some information about "Woman Flower".
Then he nodded silently.
He discovered one thing, that is, any program that could win warm applause was basically related to Lu Yuan.
Either the lyrics and music were written by Lu Yuan, or the plot was written by Lu Yuan, or the special effects were made by Lu Yuan's company...
Li Mingqi took another look at the "Remote" advertisement on the fruit plate.
At this moment, he actually had a very strange feeling.
It seemed as if the entire Spring Festival Gala was hosted "remotely", with Lu Yuan's name stamped on it at all times.
When he thought of this, he looked at the assistant director and planner of the Spring Festival Gala again.
Lu Yuan’s name is among them.
Li Mingqi narrowed his eyes.
He was worried that after Director Li retired, the director who would take over from him would not be able to keep up the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala, but now...
He suddenly realized that he didn't have to worry about this problem at all.
After watching another show on the stage, he started laughing.
…
The next show is the one by Korean artist Lee Da-jun.
At the beginning of the year, Li Duojun was very ambitious and wanted to compete with a talented person like Lu Yuan. He even felt that he was the future Lu Yuan.
wrong!
He was so inflated that he felt he was fully capable of surpassing Lu Yuan.
But after being slapped hard by reality and being taught a lesson unintentionally by Lu Yuan, Li Duojun suddenly found himself in a slump for the entire year.
Even the Jiang Lun Entertainment Company where he worked began to go downhill. Whatever movie they made lost money, and whatever TV series they invested in, they all failed.
Jianglun Entertainment Company is not as wealthy as Joaquin, so losses are not a big problem.
Jiang Lun Entertainment Company is really having a hard time at this moment, having lost half its life for Li Duojun.
Lu Yuan is crossing boundaries in all aspects, developing in all aspects, and becoming more and more awesome.
As for...
Lee Da-jun?
Just the opposite!
Arranged piano music?
It did not cause any waves internationally. Everyone who listened to it thought it was nothing. Not many people even discussed it online. It was useless to spend a lot of money on publicity.
Scripts? Whether it's TV series or movie scripts, they are all losing money...
You mean popularity?
All right!
When Li Duojun came to China from South Korea, his popularity was absolutely at its peak, but after staying in China for such a long time, his popularity has completely collapsed.
With monsters like Lu Yuan in the Chinese entertainment industry, even the top stars can't make it. Li Duojun...
Can only be suppressed!
At this moment, Xu Dongsheng, the boss of Jianglun Entertainment Company, can only place his last hope on this year's Spring Festival Gala.
I hope Li Duojun can sing a good song that can create a sensation. Only in this way can Jianglun Entertainment have a chance to be saved. Otherwise...
What can he do?
When the announcer called Lee Duojun's name, Lee Duojun walked towards the stage with a handsome face.
When he appeared, everyone's eyes were on him.
after all……
He was wearing a dragon robe.
This dragon robe is different from the host’s robe. This dragon robe is a yellow five-clawed dragon robe.
He did his homework for this Spring Festival Gala and spent a lot of money to make this robe for himself. The specifications of the robe are exactly the same as those in the hit TV series "The Qin Empire".
In fact, "The Qin Empire" was filmed a long time ago, but due to some terms and market choices, it was delayed until this year.
However, once the drama was aired, the ratings skyrocketed and it also exploded in the entire TV drama industry.
Especially the song "Borrowing Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven" is very powerful!
Last year, the song he sang at the Spring Festival Gala was replaced by An Xiao's "Falling Snow", and he was beaten to the point where he had no chance to fight back.
This year...
He is smart!
I won’t have anal sex with Lu Yuan anymore.
Since this drama is popular and this song is popular, then I will sing this song, and he thinks he can sing it very well.
Right now!
He will draw all the attention to himself!
He will prove his strength!
He will prove that it is also possible to sing in a less grandiose way!
Off stage.
Everyone felt very strange at first.
For some reason I feel that it is a bit awkward to hear Lee Da-jun singing the song "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven".
When the melody sounded...
Everyone was stunned.
This is!
"Borrowing Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven"?
Lee Da-jun?
"Along the ups and downs of the mountains and rivers
Gentle curves
Love of the Central Plains
The North and South of the Yangtze River..."
On stage.
Li Duojun sang his own adaptation of "Borrowing Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven" with deep emotion.
This is a song that Lu Yuan sang in his early years.
However, he felt that Lu Yuan's original singing was a bit stiff, while his singing sounded more youthful, with momentum and lyricism.
However, when he started singing, a group of audience members stared with wide eyes.
Because it was the Spring Festival Gala, they couldn't curse.
But on the Internet...
"What the hell, what's going on? How can such a good song be ruined like this?"
"Is Li Duojun crazy? This song sounds good and has a festive feel when sung with his accent, but... it's really inappropriate!"
"Yeah, shit, wait, what's going on here? There are even some Korean changes? Shit!"
"this……"
“Is this song ruined like this?”
“…”
…
"Director Li, the ratings have dropped."
"What?"
"It has dropped directly from fifty-one to forty-eight, and it's still dropping!"
"Something went wrong with Lee Da-jun's show?"
"Well, there must be a problem!"
“…”
Li Mingrui hurriedly listened to the sound from the stage. After listening halfway, his face changed!
Although we also sang the song "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven" during the rehearsal, it was completely different!
How did it become like this midway?
Li Mingrui's expression was terribly gloomy!
At this moment, he felt cheated.
Does this person really not want to stay in China anymore?
Does he know what this means?
"Director Li, what should we do? How about singing during the holidays?"
"No, this will affect..."
"That……"
"Let the production team pause for a moment. Isn't there a one or two minute delay? Replace the original rehearsal file!"
"This... this... that live broadcast online..."
"Hurry up and tell them to change into the rehearsal stuff right away!"
"good!"
On stage.
Li Duojun was still singing in ecstasy, and added some other rock elements to "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from Heaven".
It's so fancy!
At this moment, he actually let himself go.
In fact.
He is also giving it a try.
Anyway, he is planning to return to Korea. If he can use the Spring Festival Gala stage to attract a lot of traffic before returning, then he will make money. If he can't, it doesn't matter.
Off stage.
Li Mingqi remained silent and didn't say anything.
The old man next to him didn't say anything either.
However, there was a flash of discomfort in their eyes.
The other spectators in the back row were feeling more and more uncomfortable.
The Spring Festival Gala program team handled the situation very quickly. When they discovered the situation, everyone immediately changed into rehearsal tapes.
However, despite this, the ratings continued to decline.
Li Mingrui had a cold expression.
This is the biggest mistake of the Spring Festival Gala!
On the other hand, Mr. Xu Dongsheng of Jianglun Company had a drastic change of expression!
He gasped.
"Fuck, this bastard is hurting me!"
"this……"
“…”
After Li Duojun's performance ended, the applause continued.
The whole scene seemed very harmonious, with no other changes and no swearing.
only……
Some professionals had extremely complicated expressions.
…
“Bang!”
After Li Duojun stepped down from the stage, Xu Dongsheng quickly rushed into the backstage wearing his work ID and slapped him hard!
"Mr. Xu, you..."
"Do you know what you are doing!"
"What's wrong with me?" After being slapped, Li Duojun stared at Xu Dongsheng hatefully!
In fact, he still doesn't think he has done anything wrong!
"Come with me! Why are you making changes at the last minute?"
"You... I just made some changes temporarily. Lu Yuan's version was really dull. What's wrong with me changing it?"
"You're crazy! Do you know how many fans Lu Yuan has? If not for Lu Yuan, do you know how bad your influence is now?"
"Lu Yuan must be right? What does he know? What's wrong with me changing it?"
“Bang!”
"You hit me!"
"I can't kill you, you bastard, I want to kill you, go back to Korea!"
“…”
Amidst the noise, Li Duojun and Xu Dongsheng were pulled apart by security guards. Then, Li Duojun said, "What's wrong with me changing Lu Yuan's song? If Lu Yuan comes to the Korean entertainment industry, I will let him experience despair!"
“…”
“…”
Lu Yuan, who had just returned from the bathroom, frowned when he heard the voice, feeling very confused.
Am I innocently being shot?
South Korea?
etc!
In my hodgepodge album, there just happened to be a Korean brainwash dance song that was once very popular...
It just so happens that this is the only Korean song I understand. After all, in the previous life, who couldn't hum a few lines or imitate the movements to this song?
Other Korean dance music?
Feel sorry!
I am really gone.
…
Lee Da-jun caused a stir, and although the situation was remedied in time, the ratings did not drop to an unacceptable level, but they still fell to 47.
The ratings of Forty-Seven are not low, on the contrary they are quite high.
But the huge gap was really unacceptable to Li Mingrui.
Li Duojun, from now on, no matter what the circumstances, you will never choose this kind of person!
The following series of programs did not help the ratings at all. Basically, they either went up a little bit or went down a little bit. However, they basically never went above 50 again. It seemed that once they fell, it would be very difficult to go back to 50!
This feeling of gap makes Li Mingrui feel really complicated.
finally……
When the Spring Festival Gala was about to end, Li Mingrui left the backstage and walked towards Lu Yuan.
"Xiao Lu..."
"Ah, Director Li?"
“Depend on you!”
"What?"
"Nothing, come on!"
"Oh, okay, Jinxue, are you ready?"
"Okay, that's it."
"good!"
