Director, please respect yourself

"Director Yang Hao, I believe you have also seen that the Spring Festival Gala, the flagship program of national television, has been experiencing "Waterloo" in terms of reputation in recent years. In the past two years, thanks to the efforts and innovation of Director Ha Wen, the Spring Festival Gala has also had mixed reputations, so the Spring Festival Gala must Innovation and reform, we want to keep track of the pulse of the audience.”

"Yes, the Spring Festival Gala must introduce new blood!"

"In response to the call to open the Spring Festival Gala, the National Television Station has held several internal meetings and discussions on this matter since May, and finally decided to hire you to direct this gala."

"Director Yang Hao, I chose you because you have directed many comedy films and are expected to apply this comedy experience to the Spring Festival Gala. In addition, the black humor spirit in your works has captured the attention of mainstream public entertainment. At the same time, it can also reflect the good and evil of human nature and touch on the life problems that plague urban people. "

"This point coincides with the success factors of the Spring Festival Gala in the early years..."

The deputy director of the National Television Station named Meng is worthy of being a top student who graduated from Shandong University in the 1980s. His conversation is impeccable, starting from Yang Hao's film works and continuing to his values ​​and outlook on life.

And then, from an artistic point of view, you, Yang Hao, are the only film director in our country to win the Oscar for Best Picture, and you also trained Liu Yifei, who has mediocre acting skills, into a Golden Globe Award-winning actress and actress. Oscar winner.

Faced with such brilliant results, our national TV station wanted to find a director in the society to direct the Spring Festival Gala, and the first one that came to mind was you.

However, even though he was young, Yang Hao was not overwhelmed by the boastful talk of this man.

Because according to Yang Hao's judgment, what Brother Meng said is half true and half false. The opening of the Spring Festival Gala is true. Ha Wen, the director of the Spring Festival Gala in 2012 and 2013, caused a lot of controversy.

For example, in these two Spring Festival Galas, the "King of Sketch" Zhao Laowen did not perform any program.

On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in 2012, the "King of Sketch" Zhao Laowen was absent for the first time. There were only 7 language programs that year, which was more than half less than the 16 language programs in the heyday.

At that time, Harvin said in an interview with the media that reducing the number of sketches was driven by the lack of market for sketches, and vowed that "there is no market for sketches" and that language program creation itself has bottlenecks. This statement triggered criticism from netizens.

On the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Snake the following year, Zhao Laowen suddenly announced his withdrawal from the Spring Festival Gala stage at the last moment. Some media revealed that the reason was that Zhao Laowen left angrily because he was dissatisfied with the Spring Festival Gala team's review of the sketch. Some media reported that he actually had a bad relationship with the chief director. There were major differences between the two actors, so they were absent from the Spring Festival Gala for two consecutive years.

What is false is that when the national television station invited me to direct the Spring Festival Gala, it did not particularly value my directing ability, because each program group of a large-scale gala such as the Spring Festival Gala has directors from different program groups.

What they are looking for is actually the "famous director effect" of their buddies. With the contacts accumulated in the entertainment industry in the past two years, they may be able to invite many "big names" to the Spring Festival Gala stage. This is a problem for the Spring Festival Gala, whose ratings have begun to decline. It is undoubtedly a very valuable resource.

Since what they value is my buddy’s famous director effect, what does my buddy value about the national TV station? It’s nothing more than the influence of the Spring Festival Gala, and being able to sideline the movie “Wandering” that was released during the 2014 Spring Festival on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Earth" promotion.

But by then, with the help of Samsung, will "The Wandering Earth" still need the stage of the Spring Festival Gala?

It doesn’t seem necessary!

After understanding the key, Yang Hao immediately rejected Deputy Director Meng's invitation.

"Mengtai, I'm still young and have no experience in directing a large-scale program like the Spring Festival Gala.

Well, if our national television station really wants to hire other directors to direct the Spring Festival Gala, then I would recommend one person to you, ah no, I should recommend two people.

One is director Zhang Yimou, and the other is director Feng Xiaogang. Let’s talk about director Feng Xiaogang first. Most Chinese people know that director Feng Xiaogang is good at making commercial movies. His film style is famous for Beijing-style comedy, and he is known as the father of New Year films in the industry. reputation.

The total box office of the films he has directed exceeds 2 billion, and he is also one of the directors with the most box office appeal in the mainland..."

………

Come in a hurry.

He left in a hurry.

According to Yang Hao, he wanted to invite Meng Fanlu, the deputy director of the national television station in charge of variety shows, to stay on Lamma Island for one night, have a meal and have a good drink.

However, facing Yang Hao, who declined the program team's invitation, Meng Fanlu really didn't have the time to invite him to a meal or drink, because in previous years, the director of next year's Spring Festival Gala would be determined by the end of July.

And this year, it’s already September, and the director of the program team still hasn’t been decided.

Seeing that the two of them were determined to leave, Yang Hao did not stop him. He winked at Guan Jingjing, who had followed Zhang Guoli, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Mo and the others to Lamma Island, and then went to the 2-story building that Wang Fei bought on Lamma Island. A small building.

This time, all the actors who came to Lamma Island to experience life did not stay in hotels, but stayed in Wang Fei's small building at night. Anyway, there are many rooms, and one room for two people can be fully accommodated.

For example, Yang Hao himself would stay here at night.

“Ah, it’s so beautiful here.

Director, please tell me, which room is my room? "

"Director, I want to live upstairs. The air upstairs is fresher. Well, if I live on the second floor, I can not only see the sea, but also the mountains behind me."

"Wow, look here, look here, there are actually densely planted banana trees here."

Arriving at the two-story building, Zhang Moli, Bingbing, Wang Baoqiang and others screamed before they even entered the house.

Seeing that they had never seen the world, Yang Hao smiled and shook his head, and then stood side by side with Zhang Guoli in the yard in front of the two-story building.

"director…"

"Um?"

"What did the deputy director of the National Television say just now? Are you determined to invite you to direct next year's Spring Festival Gala?" Just now, when Yang Hao and Meng Fanlu were chatting, although many actors were standing around, everyone really There was no eavesdropping.

“I don’t know if I am determined or not.

Anyway, I didn’t agree. "

"Well, what next?" Zhang Guoli asked.

This is the deputy director of the national television station personally inviting someone. You, Yang Hao, shouldn't think so simply that if you reject him, everything will be fine.

But Yang Hao answered the question incorrectly.

"Then, you have to experience life here, cook by yourself, work by yourself, go to the banana forest on the mountain to pick bananas, and use the picked bananas to exchange for food from the crew to improve your life.

Well, I also have to grow vegetables in the open space in front of the yard. If you grow well, you will be rewarded..."

"Oh no?"

Before Yang Hao finished speaking, Zhang Mo, Xiao Yang and others put their heads in their hands and complained, why didn't you tell us before we came that we would have to do heavy physical labor to experience life.

But before everyone's complaints ended, Yang Hao touched his chin and said with a smile: "I have already contacted Mango TV. I will let the photographers on the crew film the process of you experiencing life in the past few days, and then Edited into a variety show, the name of the variety show is "Longing for Life".

I will share all the income from this variety show with everyone and only retain the copyright of this show. "

"Pa bang bang..."

As soon as Yang Hao finished speaking, everyone applauded enthusiastically.
