For the next few days, Li Tian went back and forth between the villa and the CCTV building every day.
On the 23rd day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival Gala completed its first rehearsal.
Ye Lan and a group of CCTV leaders watched the rehearsal.
By the time Ye Lan was halfway through reading, she was already certain that Li Tian was not lying.
Half of the program alone is enough to surpass the previous seasons. It may not be the last, but it is definitely unprecedented.
The other high-ranking leaders were also amazed by Li Tian after watching the rehearsal.
I originally thought this person was good at songwriting, but I didn't expect him to be so talented in dance, opera, and comedy programs as well.
"Ah Lan, you made the right choice this time. This Li Tian is really good!"
The speaker was the head of the cultural department, and even Ye Lan had to take his words seriously.
"Yes, Li Tian's talent is beyond doubt. It was because I saw his talent that I dared to boldly employ him!"
"Yes, you made the right choice. I believe this year's Spring Festival Gala will be an unprecedented success!"
"Thank you for the compliment, sir!"
Ye Lan had a very good impression of this leader who came from a humble background.
Although he came from the commoner faction, he did not intend to discriminate against the five great families.
This person doesn't care about your background, but rather your ability. No matter which faction you belong to, as long as you have the ability, you can move up; if you don't have the ability, you can step down.
His predecessor had botched the last Spring Festival Gala, and even though he came from a humble background, he was still replaced.
The success of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala also made this leader start to pay attention to him.
After watching the first rehearsal, Li Tian also realized how difficult it is to host the Spring Festival Gala.
He worked hard for more than a month to prepare for this Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, and that's how he achieved this result.
This was still based on his more than forty years of experience with the Spring Festival Gala on Earth.
Otherwise, with his limited knowledge, he wouldn't have achieved such an effect as the chief director.
Even so, there were still quite a few flaws, and Li Tian planned to use the last bit of time to fix them.
At this moment, Li Wushuang finally returned.
"Brother, you have no idea that if it weren't for the Spring Festival Gala, we could have performed overseas for another six months!"
As soon as she got off the plane and saw Li Tianhou, Li Wushuang began to tell him about her experience.
"Yes, I didn't expect this 'Butterfly Lovers' to be so popular overseas. It really exceeded my expectations."
"That's right, you wouldn't believe it, but later our tickets went up to 3,000 Canglan coins each, and even then, countless people still came to watch! They were even more enthusiastic than audiences in China!"
"3000 Canglan Coins? I really didn't know that!"
Li Tian genuinely didn't know about this, but it's still a good thing.
The second rehearsal was held on the 27th day of the Lunar New Year.
This time, all the actors were in place, and when Li Shishi appeared, she once again amazed the staff who came to watch.
Li Tian captured the final scene of the butterfly transformation, since the Spring Festival Gala has limited time and it's impossible to broadcast the entire scene.
When the music of "Butterfly Lovers" played, many audience members were moved to tears.
Li Tian nodded repeatedly as he watched Li Shishi's performance on stage; this little girl had performed even better than before.
It seems that these past few days of performances have thoroughly trained her, and Li Tian also gave her high praise for this.
"How was it? Shishi acted pretty well, right?" Li Wushuang said to Li Tian with a smug look.
"Hmm, not bad, better than I imagined. No wonder Dad said she has a great talent for opera!" Li Tian also praised her highly.
"Then why don't you see whose son he is, hahaha!" Li Wushuang said smugly.
"Alright, it's your turn to go on stage soon. How are your preparations going?"
"Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem!" Li Wushuang said with great certainty.
Li Tian nodded and didn't say anything more.
This year, Li Tian naturally had to take care of his own people for the Spring Festival Gala, as he wrote songs for both Li Wushuang and Lan Ping.
It would be a crime not to take advantage of such a great platform.
As expected, when Li Wushuang appeared, she did not disappoint Li Tian; her performance was excellent.
Ye Lan watched Li Wushuang's performance on stage and couldn't stop praising it.
This time, the Minister of Culture came again and gave high praise to Li Wushuang's performance.
"This Li Wushuang is good, and this song is good too. It would be very suitable to sing it on the Spring Festival Gala!"
Ye Lan nodded in agreement, saying, "This guy sings really well, and Li Tian's lyrics are also very good. By the way, boss, this Li Wushuang is Li Tian's younger brother!"
The leader didn't see anything wrong with it and said, "Hmm, these two brothers are both very good. One writes well, and the other sings well. Hahaha, Xiao Lan! This year's Spring Festival Gala will definitely be unprecedented!"
"Thank you for the compliment, leader!" Ye Lan also showed a proud smile.
"However, every advantage has its disadvantage. This year's Spring Festival Gala was a success, but the next one will be more difficult!"
Ye Lan naturally understood what the leader meant, even though Li Tian had said that the next Spring Festival Gala would also be handed over to him.
However, Ye Lan knew that it would be very difficult for the next generation to surpass this year's performance, and as for those years after that, Ye Lan didn't even want to think about it.
With her status as one of the five major families, plus her experience of successfully hosting two Spring Festival Galas with Li Tian's help, she could easily leave CCTV in her third year and rise to a higher level.
When that time comes, these troubles can be left to the next station director!
Whether the event can be successfully held is none of her business.
"What the leader said is true, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, even a genius like Li Tian can't keep creating at such a high quality forever!"
