Chapter 140 The Spring Festival Gala Preliminary Trial 【Seeking Monthly Ticket】

When Xu Wenruo came to the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal hall, many people had gathered here. The corners that could only be seen on TV appeared in front of Xu Wenruo, but they all looked in a hurry, and no one seemed to notice Xu Wenruo's arrival.

The entire rehearsal hall was filled with a tense atmosphere, and everyone's expressions were very serious. They had to be serious. Even the day before the Spring Festival Gala, they could cut off the program. These people should not take it lightly at all.

If the program is cut, not only will it not be able to be on the Spring Festival Gala, but even my efforts over the past month will be in vain. This kind of pressure is indeed not something that ordinary people can bear.

Standing in the crowd, Xu Wenruo looked like an outsider. His expression was relaxed and he did not feel an inexplicable sense of depression like others.

Xu Wenruo had already contacted the director team before coming. Shortly after he entered the rehearsal hall, he saw a young man with a work sign hanging on his chest running to him in front of him.

"Xu Wenruo, come with me quickly. The song program is in the No. 4 rehearsal hall, and the director is already waiting for you there."

After the guy said that, he turned his head and left. Seeing this, Xu Wenruo had to follow. It seemed that not only these artists were under great pressure, but the staff responsible for the Spring Festival Gala were not relaxed.

From the expression of this guy, we can see that the entire Spring Festival Gala director team is in high speed operation. If they cannot meet their needs, they will probably be thrown out directly.

After Xu Wenruo entered the No. 4 rehearsal hall, he saw that there were already many singers inside, and there was also a well-known singer singing on the stage. The director and judges in the audience watched him sing with a serious look on his face.

This scene is very similar to the assessment of all singers, which is completely different from the previous major satellite TV parties. They did not eliminate the process so nervously and excitingly.

Xu Wenruo saw Su Jing's figure in the crowd. He stood next to a middle-aged woman. Seeing Su Jing's respectful expression, Xu Wenruo understood the identity of this lady. This person was probably Su Jing's master Ms. Shi Lan.

However, before Xu Wenruo could say hello, he was sent to the stage by the director team and was about to show the works he brought. This decisive attitude gradually changed Xu Wenruo's relaxed mentality. Maybe he performed poorly this time, and he might be eliminated directly.

The moment he stepped onto the stage, Xu Wenruo's expression became a little serious. He was not afraid of his works being eliminated. Xu Wenruo was still very confident in the works he brought, but he didn't expect to sing it as soon as he came up.

But even so, Xu Wenruo was not afraid. He quickly adjusted his mindset and then slowly sang accompaniment to the scene. A fresh national style song was sang from Xu Wenruo's mouth, and the audience gradually became quiet. People who had been discussing quietly before gradually became immersed in Xu Wenruo's singing.

What Xu Wenruo didn't know was that there were actually two directors sitting in the audience, one was Wei Ping, the director of the Spring Festival Gala, and the other was Zhou Hai, the director of the song. After hearing Xu Wenruo's singing, they all showed joy on their faces. Then they didn't say anything, but listened to the whole song carefully.

After the singing, Xu Wenruo bowed to the audience, and then he saw a middle-aged man in the audience give him a thumbs up. Then Xu Wenruo was taken off the audience by the staff. The judges in the audience did not comment on Xu Wenruo's works throughout the whole process.

But what Xu Wenruo didn't know was that the person who gave him a thumbs up was Wei Ping, the director of the Spring Festival Gala. After Xu Wenruo finished singing, he said to Zhou Hai beside him with a little excited.

"See, this is the work I hope to see, with ancient style and poetry and picturesque songs. You will never find a young man as outstanding as him."

"It's really good, so let him go directly to the next round. You have no objection. If you don't have any objections, we won't have to discuss it."

Zhou Hai also agreed with the words of director Wei Ping, so he asked several judges around him. After confirming that they had no objection, he decided on the spot that Xu Wenruo advanced to the next round.

Of course, these judges have no objection. When the two major directors are unanimously optimistic, how dare they have opinions and who dares to have opinions?

After Xu Wenruo walked out of the audience, she followed the situation to Su Jing. She immediately introduced the middle-aged woman beside Xu Wenruo. As Xu Wenruo expected, she was Su Jing's master Shi Lan.

When Xu Wenruo approached, she found that Ms. Shi Lan's face felt like she was weathered. Although her skin was well maintained, her eyes full of vicissitudes could not deceive people. She must have experienced a lot of hardships when she was young.

Thinking of Su Jing once told them about Shi Lan's story, Xu Wenruo could understand that such a person who moves in the dark must be suffering in his heart, and it is normal for his vicissitudes of his eyes to look vicissitudes.

However, Ms. Shi Lan was very polite to Xu Wenruo, and her expression was extremely kind. He looked at Xu Wenruo like he was looking at his juniors.

"Xiao Xu, I heard from Jing'er that you were very helpful to her on that show. As her master, I have to thank you very much."

"No, I have to thank Sister Su for her care, and it's nothing for friends to help each other."

"Then I won't say more about the matter between you, but your contribution to the opera world is obvious to all. You have brought some new hope to the opera world, which cannot be erased no matter what. Please accept my worship."

After saying that, Shi Lan bowed to Xu Wenruo. Xu Wenruo immediately stopped seeing this. He didn't dare to accept this bow. After all, Shi Lan was Xu Wenruo's elder, so he might be a life-long failure.

"I can't do it, Teacher Shi Lan, I've actually started it. What you really want to thank is Sister Su, who is the one who makes contributions to the opera industry."

"well!"

After Shi Lan stood up, she glanced at Su Jing, her eyes filled with pride, but also with guilt.

"Jing'er is too stubborn. I've told her to find a good choice for herself, but..."

"As a play is my choice!"

Su Jing's slightly weak face was full of determination. She was a girl with a soft outside and strong inside. Once she decided on something, eight horses could not pull back. Shi Lan also knew Su Jing's personality very well. When she heard her say this, she could only sigh from the side.

Fortunately, the young man who received Xu Wenruo just arrived and broke the low atmosphere. He still hurried to Xu Wenruo, gave an order, and turned around and left again.

"Xu Wenruo, the director team asked me to notify you that your song has entered the next round. I will wait for the notification in the next few days and come here on time to participate in the next round of rehearsals."

Looking at the hurried back of the guy, Xu Wenruo was a little confused. Looking at his appearance, Shi Lan on the side began to explain the process of the Spring Festival Gala to Xu Wenruo.

As a famous opera artist, Shi Lan has to perform on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala every year. Although opera has declined in the past two years, it is still a treasure of traditional culture after all. Of course, it must be displayed to audiences across the country on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

However, in the past two years, the duration of opera has been decreasing, from the previous ten minutes to a few minutes, and it has not even been a song for a long time, which makes people feel sad.

"The Spring Festival Gala usually has to go through several reviews. Only when each review is passed can you perform on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. According to normalcy, you have to pass several times next."

Shi Lan did not say what would happen if she failed the review. Even without saying it, Xu Wenruo knew that the show was shot, which was a very cruel thing.

Later, Xu Wenruo learned that Su Jing did not come to accompany Shi Lan to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, but that she was also valued by Wei Ping, the director of the Spring Festival Gala. Of course, this was also introduced by Shi Lan to the Spring Festival Gala director. As a regular visitor and famous opera artist, Shi Lan still has such a face.

The most important thing is that opera songs are very popular this year. Currently, there are only two people who are good at opera songs, one is amateur contestant Xu Wenruo, and the other is sister Su.

Compared to Xu Wenruo's all-round talent, Su Jing specializes in opera songs. In addition, she comes from the opera industry, so the Spring Festival Gala director team designated Su Jing to perform a opera song, adding some new ideas to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

Su Jing's works undoubtedly passed the preliminary review of the Spring Festival Gala. After parting with Su Jing from the studio, Xu Wenruo went straight back home.

His current task is to fully deal with the Spring Festival Gala. Xu Wenruo did not follow the promotion of the movie. Wu Xuan, Wei Ying and Meng Da were flying all over the sky at this time. Through the needle threading of Xingxun Video, the crew of "Trick Experts" participated in variety shows across the country.

As time approaches, the New Year holiday has quietly arrived, and competition in the film industry has become increasingly fierce. At present, the first ones are Xu Wenruo's movie "The Trick Expert" and actor Zhao Rui's movie "Happy Tenant".

The two of them were aiming at the New Year's Eve at the same time. After all, there were already three blockbusters in the prime time of the Spring Festival, and there was no place for them at all.

In desperation, they can only choose the New Year's Eve, but this does not mean that they can broaden the sky by taking a step back. Although only the two movies that are scheduled to be released in the New Year's Eve are more capable of playing, they cannot resist the number of movies.

According to statistics, there are as many as 18 movies that are selected to be released on the New Year's Eve, even more than those on the New Year's Day. As a prime time, there are only eight movies released on the New Year's Day, but each movie is very strong, especially those three big-produced movies.

The more movies released mean that the competition for screening volume is very fierce. The public relations department of Starxun Pictures spent a lot of effort and only got 30% of the screening volume, just completing the goal set at the beginning.

This competition has also made the staff of Xingxun Film see the madness of the New Year holiday. In the past, they watched the show and were out of the matter, and they thought the New Year holiday was just a little more lively, but in fact there was nothing at all.

But this year I found out that things were not as simple as I imagined. The New Year holiday was crazy. Since it was confirmed that the movie was released on the New Year holiday, the entire company of Xingxun Pictures has been running around, and every staff member has tried his best.

In the publicity field that Xingxun is more familiar with, they have indeed achieved good results. Now there are news about "Trick Experts" everywhere on the Internet, which has achieved satisfactory results.

However, in terms of theaters, Xingxun was a little overwhelmed. Faced with the crazy New Year holiday, they were a little lacking in preparation. At the beginning, they did not adapt to the crazy state and watched others steal a lot of screenings from them.

Later, they woke up in time and chased after it. Finally, they achieved the goal set at the beginning and reached the passing line of 30%. However, after finishing this period of time, the practices of the Public Relations Department will definitely be criticized at the company's subsequent meetings.

Because the publicity efforts are far less than their "Happy Tenant" can actually get 40% of the screening volume. It can be said that the advantages won in publicity were sent back in theaters, which left all the staff of the Public Relations Department losing their faces because they were indeed awkward and dragged the company down.

"The Trick Expert" accounted for 30% of the screenings on New Year's Eve, "Happy Tenant" accounted for 40%, and the remaining 30% were allocated to the other sixteen movies. This is a very sad story.

But the New Year holiday is so cruel, and the winners take all. Many movies without fame, publicity, and no theater connections want to get a piece of cake in the New Year holiday. It is purely a dream. You should know that large companies with backgrounds like Xingxun Pictures can only be trembling in the New Year holiday, and these small companies can only act as cannon fodder.

But these people still rushed over like moths to the fire. They were blinded by interests and could not see what kind of enemy they needed to face.

Xu Wenruo was still satisfied with 30% of the screening volume. Although Xingxun Pictures made certain mistakes, resulting in a lower screening volume, it was the first time after all, and he had no experience. If Xu Wenruo had discussed it, it might not have reached 30%.

Xu Wenruo’s requirements are not very strict. After all, the volume of screening can be adjusted at any time. These are just the volume of screening before the film is released. After the film is released, theaters will make timely adjustments based on the reputation and attendance rate of the film.

After all, theaters need to make money. No matter how much face you are, it is still empty in the face of naked interests. Even if the volume of screenings that had been negotiated before, as long as the reputation of the film drops like a jumping off a building, the attendance rate will definitely drop significantly, and the volume of screenings will definitely shrink significantly. At this time, even if the king of heaven comes, he will not be able to keep the volume of screenings.
