Chapter 160 Spring Festival Gala Interview

Since Fang Xing has already advanced to the finals of "Singing", he does not need to participate in the recording of the ninth period.

So in the next two weeks, I was relatively free and showed up at the company a little more often.

Although Fang Xing does not need to record the ninth episode of "Singing", Li Caiwei still has to participate.

The theme of the ninth issue of the competition is "Dream".

Fang Xing directly sent her a song "First Dream" and asked her to sing it on the stage of "Song".

This is a song written by Yao Ruolong, composed by Miyuki Nakajima, and sung by Weiqi Fan.

It is just right for participating in the "Dream" themed competition.

After the song was sent to Li Caiwei, Fang Xing stopped caring about the rehearsal and let the company arrange it.

Wednesday.

Regular studio meeting.

Fang Xing went to listen to Qiao Yinghong's work summary.

"Currently, we are already negotiating with two blue-blood brands. We are confident that we can sign one. It just depends on which brand is more suitable for us." Qiao Yinghong said here.

The employees at the studio were very excited and were about to sign an endorsement deal with a major international brand, and their qualifications were immediately increased.

Fang Xing suddenly interjected: "Don't rush to sign for endorsements. The songs I sang in the seventh issue of "Singing" are a bit sensitive. In fact, I don't care that much about blue blood and red blood brands, and I don't have to sign."

Qiao Yinghong nodded slowly and said: "That's right. I was actively talking about endorsements at the beginning because of Liu Hongsheng's matter, and I was a little bit angry. You have to be careful about endorsements. Even if you sign, you are signing for next year. You really don't have to worry too much."

Endorsements will also affect the celebrity's own image, so which brand to endorse also needs to be considered.

Of course, for studio employees, the most important thing is endorsement fees.

The more they earn, the bigger their bonus will be.

During the regular meeting.

Liang Yusong came over suddenly.

The door of the conference room was not closed. Liang Yusong knocked on the door and came in directly and said: "Fang Xing, you may want to fly to Kyoto with me in the afternoon. Sister Hong, please go too."

Fang Xing asked casually the reason for going to Kyoto: "Do you have work?"

"It's work. I'm going to meet the Spring Festival Gala director team. They are interested in a few of your songs, but I'm not sure yet whether you will sing it yourself or let other stars sing it. The Spring Festival Gala director team wants to meet and have a chat." Liang Yusong explained.

There are still three months until the Spring Festival Gala.

It may seem like a long time, but in fact, preparations for the Spring Festival Gala start half a year in advance.

At the beginning, it was just preliminary preparations and team building.

Then the intense interview program began.

The Spring Festival Gala team started soliciting interviews for various programs three months ago.

Initial interviews are basically conducted online.

The types of programs collected by the Spring Festival Gala program group are basically dance, vocal music, sketch, musical instrument performance, and magic.

Units or individuals deliver programs to the Spring Festival Gala program group in the form of video and audio.

If you are chosen by the Spring Festival Gala program team, you will receive an interview notice and go to CCTV for an on-site interview.

However, even if you pass the interview, it does not mean you will be able to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

The Spring Festival Gala is the most important program of CCTV every year. It takes half a year to prepare and is scheduled five times.

There will be changes every time the series is scheduled, and some programs may be deleted after being scheduled several times.

More than a month ago, Qiao Yinghong mentioned once that the Spring Festival Gala was soliciting programs.

Since the Spring Festival Gala was still four or five months away, it was only a preliminary program collection.

Therefore, Fang Xing didn't pay too much attention and just let her watch the delivery program clearly.

Therefore, Songshi Records delivered several songs that were promising to appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage to the Spring Festival Gala program team.

Now I have received a notice from the Spring Festival Gala program team and I am going to Kyoto for an interview.

…

In the afternoon.

Fang Xing, Liang Yusong, and Qiao Yinghong flew to Kyoto together.

By the way, I brought along the executive broker Guo Keda.

"Are we really going to the Spring Festival Gala? It's incredible."

When he was at the airport, Guo Keda still felt unreal.

When he first participated in "Tomorrow's Star", he just wanted to be a part of the show and never thought about being able to form a group.

Although he did not form a group in the end, in the blink of an eye, he was on the "Singing" program, although he was on the show as a manager.

Every recording session of "Singing" will include footage of the manager.

Qiao Yinghong was busy with studio matters, so Guo Keda followed Fang Xing on "Singing" every time.

Although Guo Keda did not sing on stage, he got a lot of shots.

Now, the recording of "Singing" has not been finished, and the Spring Festival Gala will be held soon.

This leap of progress made Guo Keda feel very unreal.

"Don't be too happy yet. It's just that the Spring Festival Gala program team is interested in our songs. Whether we can be on the Spring Festival Gala depends on the results of the interview." Liang Yusong shook his head and reminded with a smile.

"Brother Fang's strength, I can guarantee that he will definitely make it." Guo Keda patted his chest and gave a thumbs up, looking confident, although this confidence did not come from himself.

After arriving in Kyoto, the group took a bus to the Spring Festival Gala program of CCTV.

After announcing my name, I was taken to the chief director's office by the staff instead of going to the conference room.

In fact, this is not the first time that Liang Yusong has come to the Spring Festival Gala program team for an interview.

Yao Liying attended the Spring Festival Gala three years ago, and Liang Yusong came in person that time.

In the past, interviews with singers were always done in the conference room.

This time it was a bit special, I went to the chief director’s office first.

Before coming, Qiao Yinghong first learned about the situation of this year's Spring Festival Gala program team.

The chief director of Tonight's Spring is Shen Jilin. At the beginning of the year, he just finished filming a TV series for CCTV.

In the middle of the year, I received an invitation from the Spring Festival Gala program team to serve as the chief director.

The group came to the chief director's office and met Shen Jilin.

Shen Jilin is in his fifties or sixties, neither fat nor thin, and has a very calm demeanor.

When Fang Xing and others came in, he was on the phone, seemingly talking about the TV series.

Seeing the guests coming in, Shen Jilin quickly ended the call, invited the four of them to sit down in the reception room, and then asked the staff to bring tea.

"Director Shen, long time no see." Liang Yusong stepped forward to shake hands.

"It's been many years, almost ten years, right?" Shen Jilin tried to remember the time.

"Yes, yes." Liang Yusong actually couldn't remember how long it was. Anyway, the two of them did collaborate before, and they met when they were scoring music for a TV series.

After the polite words, Shen Jilin started to get down to business: "I'm calling you here this time, mainly for the interview of the Spring Festival Gala song program. However, I have another thing here, and I may need a few help."

Liang Yusong nodded and said, "You're welcome. If you need anything, Director Shen, just ask."

Shen Jilin organized the language and said: "At the beginning of the year, I just finished filming a historical drama. I have been working on the post-production for seven or eight months. It is preparing to be the opening drama of CCTV next year, so the station attaches great importance to it.

"I have been watching the post-production of this drama for three months, and the editing is almost done. The rest of the post-production is left to the crew.

“I took over the Spring Festival Gala work here, so I’m a little overwhelmed.

"The later stages of this historical drama are progressing pretty well. I've seen it several times and I'm very satisfied with it, but the soundtrack is a bit lacking.

"This time, after listening to some of the songs you sent me, I feel pretty good.

"Especially "Young China" and "Men Should Be Self-Strengthening", both of which are very good.

"Later I heard that you also produced theme songs for movies, so I wanted to ask if it was possible to collaborate on theme songs or interludes for historical dramas."

Liang Yusong nodded and said: "If there is a chance to cooperate, of course it would be great. But I don't know if our song can meet Director Shen's requirements. The theme song of the movie we produced before was "Liao Zhai", which is quite different from the historical drama."

Shen Jilin nodded and said: "Indeed, I also asked first, maybe there is a suitable one? Of course, today is the interview for the Spring Festival Gala program, the historical drama soundtrack, just to see if I can find a suitable one, which will not affect the Spring Festival Gala. Interview for the show.”

"Of course, of course." Liang Yusong nodded quickly.

At this moment.

Fang Xing interjected and asked: "What kind of historical drama?"

Shen Jilin had watched Fang Xing's performance, so he answered the young man's question seriously: "Three Kingdoms, a historical drama. Do young people have any ideas?"

When Fang Xing heard that it was a Three Kingdoms drama, he knew it.
