Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

From Zhang Xushan's foreshadowing, Chen Minhao probably guessed what he wanted to say, but Chen Minhao still asked with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite. What's the matter?"

Zhang Xushan looked at Chen Minhao and said, "Can you sing a new song in the Spring Festival Gala?"

"New song?" Chen Minhao pretended to be surprised.

Zhang Xushan drank a glass of white wine on his own, and entered the complaining mode: "In recent years, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala have been getting lower and lower, but more than ten years ago, the Spring Festival Gala was an indispensable part of celebrating the Spring Festival. There are Spring Festival Gala It’s just called New Year’s Eve. On the evening of New Year’s Eve, a large family will watch the Spring Festival Gala happily in front of the TV, enjoying the moment of reunion. The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala can even reach 40%, and being the director of the Spring Festival Gala at that time is the happiest. It is also the most rewarding.

But now the times have changed, and people pay less and less attention to the Spring Festival Gala. In the past few years, after the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast every year, many viewers raised various questions about the Spring Festival Gala and made various complaints about the Spring Festival Gala. However, in the past two years, the audience's doubts and complaints have decreased. It's not because the Spring Festival Gala satisfied everyone, but because the Spring Festival Gala was ignored by everyone, and it became less and less existential. Now the pressure of being the director of the Spring Festival Gala is also increasing. "

Chen Minhao poured Zhang Xushan a full glass, and comforted him: "Director Zhang, don't put too much pressure on yourself, this is the overall trend and trend of the times."

Zhang Xushan sighed and said: "Hey, you are right, this is the change of the times. The young people nowadays have changed. They don't watch the Spring Festival Gala on the TV on the evening of the New Year's Eve. In the past, people could only watch Apart from the Spring Festival Gala, there is basically nothing else to do, but now people can do a lot of things after the New Year’s Eve dinner. Today’s young people either play mahjong, play cards, or simply play with mobile phones as usual, and some young people simply I went abroad to play during the Chinese New Year."

Chen Minhao nodded, thinking to himself: Last year, he filmed "Detective" in Curry Country, but he didn't go back to China for the Spring Festival. On the night of New Year's Eve, the whole crew made dumplings together. Although the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast on TV at the time, few people watched it, let alone discussed it.

Chen Minhao could only fill another glass of white wine for Zhang Xushan and clink glasses with him to show comfort.

Zhang Xushan looked at Chen Minhao attentively and earnestly: "Chen Minhao, you must help me. If you don't help me, I can't think of any other way."

For a moment, Chen Minhao couldn't tell whether Zhang Xushan was complimenting him, or whether he really thought so in his heart.

If he really thought so, Chen Minhao felt that the director of the Spring Festival Gala was a little naive.

Zhang Xushan just analyzed the reason for the decline in the attention of the Spring Festival Gala: People’s entertainment methods are becoming more abundant now, which is indeed one of the factors, but this is only an external factor. The most fundamental reason for the decline in the attention of the Spring Festival Gala is the decline in the quality of the Spring Festival Gala.

More than ten years ago, the Spring Festival Gala was down-to-earth. Compared with the current Spring Festival Gala, there are more satires and less praise.

Chen Minhao once read a saying that the reason for the birth of the Spring Festival Gala is that the Spring Festival Gala was born to allow the people to adapt to the situation and culture after the reform and opening up. That is to say, the Spring Festival Gala tries to adjust and influence the relationship between the general situation and the people, so as to promote social progress.

So the skits in the Spring Festival Gala at that time were funny with connotations, and they were both refined and popular. Some Spring Festival Gala sketches more than ten years ago still seem to be relished now, but the current Spring Festival Gala is not very down-to-earth, heavy on preaching, and heavy on sensationalism.

Will Chen Minhao tell Zhang Xushan these words?

Of course not, he's not stupid.

Because there are some things Zhang Xushan can say as the director of the Spring Festival Gala, he can complain about the Spring Festival Gala unscrupulously, but Chen Minhao can't. Only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps. The reason this sentence teaches us is: since you are a commoner, you must know what you are doing.

Chen Minhao doesn't think that the current situation and reputation of the Spring Festival Gala can be changed by himself as a singer. A singer by himself cannot carry the banner of the Spring Festival Gala, even if he is a time-traveling singer who can copy.

Chen Minhao is confident to come up with a song that is suitable for the Spring Festival Gala and is highly sung, but he does not have the confidence to meet Zhang Xushan's expectations - to reverse the situation of the Spring Festival Gala.

Chen Minhao shook his head with a smile and said: "I have just released an album, and my qualifications are still young. You asked me to sing a song from the past. I can try my best, but you asked me to write a brand new song in a short time. , and go to the Spring Festival Gala stage to sing. I'm afraid I messed up, I'm sorry, after all, there are so many people watching the Spring Festival Gala all over the country."

Zhang Xushan said: "Oh, Xiao Chen, you are too modest. From your debut to the present, which song you sang is not good? And Hu Defa has already heard of it when you filmed the MV for you. Write a song The song time is very fast, and it only takes about a week to write a song."

Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment, and thought: "Zhang Xushan made arrangements for me clearly, he came here completely prepared."

Zhang Xushan continued to say sincerely: "If the ratings of this year's Spring Festival Gala are not much higher than that of some talent show variety shows, then it will lose my old face from the end of the year to the beginning of the year. So, I hope Through you singing a new song in the Spring Festival Gala, to increase the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala, I have already thought about it. I will keep the schedule of this Spring Festival Gala strictly confidential in the early stage, and then announce the list of performers a month before the Spring Festival Gala, and release gossip that you want Sing a new song on the Spring Festival Gala. I confirmed the news a week before the Spring Festival Gala, and made the gimmick enough to increase the ratings.

Chen Minhao realized that his thinking was wrong. Perhaps Zhang Xushan never thought of substantially reversing the plight of the Spring Festival Gala from the beginning. What he only wanted was to increase the ratings.

In the context of the sole purpose of ratings, whether it is a white cat or a black cat that catches mice, it is a good cat. Therefore, the operation activities centered on their new songs came into being. It can only be said that Zhang Xushan is worthy of being a director who has been in the field of commercial films for many years.

But isn't this drinking poison to quench thirst? This year it was solved like this, what about next year? Two gimmicks?

Zhang Xushan saw that Chen Minhao's brows were tightly frowned. When he was thinking, he was afraid that he would say "no", so he decided to strike while the iron was hot: "Nowadays, directors of the Spring Festival Gala usually don't serve three consecutive terms, so this year's Spring Festival Gala may be the last one I directed. One year. If you do me this favor, I will owe you a big favor."

Chen Minhao nodded and said, "Let me try, but I have a small request."

A bright smile appeared on Zhang Xushan's face: "Tell me, if you want to adjust the order of the show, I can help you arrange it as long as it is within a reasonable range."

Chen Minhao shook his head and said, "That's not true. The program sequence can be arranged according to your rhythm. I will definitely cooperate with the program sequence. I just want two tickets for the Spring Festival in the front row."

Zhang Xushan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you want to give it to your parents? Haha, what a joke."

Chen Minhao picked up a glass of white wine and said, "Director Zhang, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will try my best. I will write the song first. If you are not satisfied with the song you wrote, you can tell me directly. Don't be embarrassed. "

Chen Minhao struggled for a while, but finally agreed, mainly based on three considerations.

First, the attention of the Spring Festival Gala has indeed decreased in the past few years, but the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is still attractive to Chen Minhao, so Chen Minhao still hopes deep in his heart that he can win this "Dungeon Achievement". And if you shine on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it will help you improve your status and move closer to the goal of being a global superstar.

Second, Father Chen has an inexplicable obsession with the older generation about Chen Minhao's appearance on TV and the Spring Festival Gala. Chen Minhao hoped that Father Chen's wish could be fulfilled.

Third, no matter what Zhang Xushan's original intention was, he helped him and Hu Defa connect at the beginning, which in a certain sense contributed to his starring in "Detective". The influence of "Detective" on me is self-evident, and I have to repay my kindness.

After seeing Chen Minhao nodding, Zhang Xushan laughed and said: "It's great, I feel at ease if you write songs, I should toast you. By the way, I have a small request. With you This trump card, my heart fell back into my stomach, but it’s hard to make a forest alone. In addition to your original song, I also hope to find some other influential singers. I heard that you and Yao Yiyi are very familiar , how about you help me introduce it?"

Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment, and said, "I know her very well? Who did you hear that, although we have cooperated, we don't have many personal relationships."

Zhang Xushan said in surprise: "Ah, don't you guys know each other well? I approached Yao Yiyi before and invited her to the Spring Festival Gala, but she said she was not familiar with her place, so she politely declined. But later she said that if you If she participates in the Spring Festival Gala, she will also participate. So I thought the two of you are quite familiar."
