My singer girlfriend is super fierce

Regarding the cancellation of Ye Zhiqiu’s program, the first reaction of most netizens was a look of question marks.

"???"

"Can this be cut? What are the production team thinking?"

"Oh my goodness, the show least likely to fail is gone."

"You can complain, but I didn't ask you to chop it down."

“I really can’t understand the program crew’s actions.”

It was originally just a simple program selection, but due to the high level of discussion, it even made it to the top of Weibo's hot search list.

The program organizers did not respond to the online doubts. After all, there are so many programs in a gala, and which ones to keep and which ones to delete is a matter of comprehensive consideration, and there is no need to explain each one to the public.

However, the response this time was so great that a reporter asked Yan Zhigang, the chief director of this Spring Festival Gala, about this matter during an interview.

In response, Yan Zhigang replied: "First of all, 'Gong Xi Fa Cai' is a well-known and popular song. Ye Zhiqiu is also a very good singer. He has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala many times and brought a good stage to everyone."

"But." Yan Zhigang first praised in an official tone, then changed his tone and said: "The consideration of Spring Festival Gala programs is a very complex and rigorous matter, involving many aspects of standards."

"In addition to the program being independent and complete, it also needs to complement other programs. Mr. Ye Zhiqiu himself was unable to attend the first two rehearsals due to other personal work. The program team also made this decision based on the on-site cooperation..."

Although Yan Zhigang did not say it explicitly, his words implied one meaning - Ye Zhiqiu's failure to be selected for the show was entirely due to his personal reasons.

After the interview content was released, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

A reporter had previously revealed that Ye Zhiqiu did not attend the rehearsal. Combined with the words of the Spring Festival Gala director, the "fact" that "Ye Zhiqiu acted like a big shot and caused the program to be cancelled" seems to have surfaced.

After all, a big tree attracts the wind. Ye Zhiqiu usually has a lot of black fans, and this time they seized the opportunity to criticize him indignantly on the Internet.

"If you don't attend the rehearsal, it's not unfair for others to cancel your program!"

"This is the Spring Festival Gala, not the place for you to act like a big shot!"

"I've always thought Ye Zhiqiu was very arrogant. It's not surprising that he would do something like this."

"If they don't even come to rehearsal, and if they make a mistake on stage and cause a live broadcast accident, who will be responsible for it?"

"The other guests are rehearsing so hard, but you are the only one absent. What will others think?"

"Be a good person before doing anything! I support director Yan Zhigang. This kind of program should be eliminated!"

Of course, in addition to criticism, there are also many sober viewers online who defend Ye Zhiqiu.

"I won't comment on the specific situation, but for such an important show, if a guest is absent from the rehearsal, they will definitely communicate with the production team in advance and obtain their consent, right?"

"This isn't about being a big shot, right? There are five rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala, and except for the last two, not all the guests can be present every time."

“In fact, in previous years, depending on the type and complexity of the show, it was common for experienced and mature shows to go on stage after only two or three rehearsals.”

"Honestly speaking, with Ye Zhiqiu's ability, it is really unnecessary to rehearse five times just to sing "Gong Xi Fa Cai"..."

"It's funny that this matter has been blown out of proportion. In the entertainment industry, strength is king, not egalitarianism. If someone has popularity and strength, they are awesome. Missing two rehearsals really doesn't count."

“I don’t know what works will be performed in this year’s Spring Festival Gala, but from the audience’s perspective, I can’t understand why Ye Zhiqiu’s solo was cut.”

Regarding this matter, Ye Zhiqiu originally thought that being rejected was no big deal, but the words of the chief director Yan Zhigang in the interview also made him feel puzzled.

What was originally a very simple matter now seems to have become my own responsibility. I feel like I'm being "blamed", and anyone would be a little unhappy.

But after all, I have cooperated with the authorities so many times and everything was quite pleasant before. There is no need to make the relationship awkward because of one person's behavior.

In addition, the filming of "The Wandering Earth" is currently in the final stage. Ye Zhiqiu does not have the energy and does not feel there is any need to make any excuses, so the matter was left unattended.

However, the biggest reaction to this incident came not from the parties involved and the general public of netizens, but from a group of colleagues in the industry, especially local TV stations.

Every year, in addition to the national television station, powerful local television stations also hold their own Spring Festival Gala.

On the one hand, it is to showcase differentiated programs with local cultural characteristics to attract audiences; on the other hand, it is a kind of competition among major local stations and a good opportunity to enhance their own brand image and commercial value.

Based on past experience, among all versions of the Spring Festival Gala, the one with the most luxurious performance lineup is undoubtedly the national television station.

This situation is normal. If given a choice, celebrities will definitely give priority to national television stations. After all, ratings and exposure are not at the same level.

After the national television station has finished selecting, it is then the turn of other local stations, which are far behind in terms of the popularity and appeal of the guests.

However, this year things are a little different.

The "battle for talent" in the Spring Festival Galas of various local TV stations has basically ended. Everyone's lineup has its own highlights, and the competition is evenly matched.

As a result, now that the "big fish" Ye Zhiqiu has been exposed, the first reaction of all local TV stations is to "grab" Ye Zhiqiu!

They don't know what Spring Festival Gala director Yan Zhigang is thinking, but one thing is certain: whoever can invite Ye Zhiqiu to this year's local Spring Festival Gala will immediately be able to create a gap with other stations in terms of guest lineup.

Next, it will affect the investment, advertising revenue, etc. of enterprises and businesses. This is a series of chain reactions.

As for whether Ye Zhiqiu can attend rehearsals or not, no one cares.

Not to mention that many local Spring Festival Galas are recorded broadcasts, so the tolerance rate is higher. As long as Ye Zhiqiu is willing to come, they will be willing to play any big cards!

As a result, program invitations from various satellite TV stations flew to Huahai Entertainment and the "Yi Ye Zhi Qiu" studio like snowflakes.

Time passed quickly and it was January 1th.

With less than 20 days left until the Chinese New Year, the filming of "The Wandering Earth" has officially wrapped up.

In the previous life, this movie took about 5 months from the start to the end of filming, and it also experienced difficulties such as lack of funds.

With Ye Zhiqiu's full commitment and the assistance of famous director Zhao Jinglun, the filming was completed in 4 months.

Of course, wrapping up doesn’t mean the end, there is still work to be done such as editing and special effects, which are the responsibility of the backstage technical staff.

In any case, everyone in the "The Wandering Earth" crew is still very happy. Although they are reluctant to leave, it also means that they can have a relatively relaxing new year.

At this time, director Ye Zhiqiu received a call from an acquaintance.
