June 1st arrived as expected.
Of course, as long as the earth does not explode, Children's Day will always come.
However, Han Zhou was about to explode.
Being a party director is not a job for humans.
You said the Spring Festival Gala is okay. Although it requires strong coordination capabilities, there are so many staff members!
There are approximately 140 to 280 performers in each Spring Festival Gala, but the total number of performers and staff is about 7,000 to 8,000.
Of course, this performer does not include dancers.
And the Children's Day Gala has many more performers and staff than the Spring Festival Gala, with a total of more than 500 people.
More than 400 of them were children.
That’s fine, but there are only about 200 staff members in total.
The closer it got to the live broadcast, the more troubled Han Zhou felt.
Moreover, the Spring Festival Gala will record the third rehearsal. If there is a problem with the live broadcast, the third rehearsal will be broadcast directly.
There is a complete backstop.
As for the Children's Day Gala, there were rehearsals, but they were all simplified versions. If there was a problem with the live broadcast, they could only broadcast signals of one program at a time, and there was no complete gala to back it up.
Therefore, all the staff were extremely nervous.
The most nervous one is Han Zhou.
Since there was no one available, Han Zhou rolled up his sleeves and moved the audio equipment himself.
The key point is that there are hundreds of children at the scene, and they are so noisy that there needs to be a lot of staff to keep an eye on them.
Fortunately, these hundreds of children all have experience in performing arts or chorus. Compared with hundreds of ordinary children, the destructive power is divided by one hundred.
If these were 400 children from ordinary kindergartens and primary schools, wouldn't they be blown away at the party?
The key is that children cannot be scolded.
If he were an adult, Han Zhou would have made his scalp numb.
But Han Zhou's scalp was tingling from coaxing these kids.
No wonder Shen Xixiong asked her to choose between Children's Day and Dragon Boat Festival.
When he chose June 1st for himself, he smiled so happily.
After organizing a Children's Day gala, it's no problem for them to organize a theater-level military exercise, let alone the Spring Festival Gala...
"Director Han, the ten-second countdown is about to begin."
Han Zhou found a seat and sat down, holding the cup of water, and nodded.
"ten."
Just after counting to ten, Han Zhou saw from the secondary camera (documentary camera) that when the young actors for the first show were lining up, one of the children suddenly ran out of the line, and his heart stopped instantly.
Fortunately, the teacher of these children is not a pushover either.
At 00:39686 seconds, he grabbed the young actor's neck.
Then I rearranged my clothes.
"Children, come on stage."
When the countdown ended, the hosts of CCTV Children's Channel, Brother Windmill and Sister Moon, smiled at the camera and said, "This is Zhuanger TV Station. This is Zhuanger TV Station."
"Dear viewers in front of the TV."
"Happy Children's Day!"
"I am your windmill brother."
"I am your sister Moon."
"Welcome to watch the Children's Day Special Gala on Zhuanger TV!"
The two of them chatted nonsense.
After the two people have introduced themselves, the camera switches.
Came to the main stage.
On the main stage, a group of children were sitting in a circle.
The teacher stood on the stage and clapped his hands.
There was music in the background, 'Throw, throw, throw the handkerchief gently behind the child, don't tell him...'
A little kid jumped and danced to the music, then threw a handkerchief behind another little kid.
This kid pretended to be ignorant.
Then he turned around, saw the handkerchief, picked it up and started chasing after him.
Then, two situations occurred.
One is that the child who failed to catch up has to sit back in the empty seat.
One is to catch up and start over.
The adults in front of the TV didn't react much.
But the children’s eyes were shining!
What game is this? It looks like fun!
After the two demonstrations, all the children stood up from where they were sitting on the floor and stood in the center of the stage.
The teacher led them to sing "Drop the Handkerchief".
The Children's Day party officially begins.
Many people in the industry are also paying attention to this evening party.
They never imagined that Han Zhou would dare to make a children's game he created into the first program, and teach children all over the country how to play the game at the Children's Day party!
In the previous life, this song was composed on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Then after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he began to write lyrics.
After this song became popular, the handkerchief game quickly became popular all over the country and continues to this day.
As a massively multiplayer music fitness game, this game is the king of all games for kids.
The only thing that can compare to it is the eagle catching the chick.
But the eagle catching the chicken lacks a little diversity.
Director Ma: "I wonder how viral this game Han Zhou will be?"
Director Yang: "I think this game is very interesting and suitable for children to play."
Director Ma: "However, it's really brave of you to start a party with a game."
Director Yang: "It seems that Han Zhou told everyone from the first show that this evening party is not for adults. The target group is extremely precise. Han Zhou still maintains the characteristic of focusing on the target when making evening parties just like making movies."
Director Zhang: "After all, he is the current number one director at the box office."
Director Lu: "Having said that, fortunately Han Zhou started to accept evening party roles this year. If he continued to shoot movies at such a high intensity, what would we eat, haha."
Director Ma: "According to rumors, New World has started to prepare for a new movie called "The Burning Sun". You can go to the review team's public report to check out the script."
Soon, everyone in the group disappeared.
For them, children's programs are not as interesting as movies. What's more, the trend of the film market concerns everyone's jobs. Who dares not to be cautious when Han Zhou takes action?
In front of the TV, the children have already entered the state.
After the end of "Dropping the Handkerchief", it is still Han Zhou's content.
Idiom Theater "Adding Feet to a Snake".
…
Yang Tao finally had a chance to rest. He took a day off on Children's Day and accompanied his son in a day-long activity at school.
That parent-child activity is too tiring, so guessing riddles is a bit more relaxing.
But for Yang Xiaoyang, it was still too early to guess riddles, so Yang Xiaoyang had no interest.
But Yang Xiaoyang is interested in the prizes for guessing the riddles correctly!
Therefore, Yang Xiaoyang still had a lot of fun.
When I get home, my mother finally has time to cook dinner for the day.
Yang Tao turned on the TV and watched CCTV with Yang Xiaoyang.
At first, Yang Xiaoyang was not interested.
Who would have known that what CCTV was broadcasting was not a TV series but a children's evening party.
The first program, "Drop the Handkerchief", completely attracted Yang Xiaoyang.
Yang Tao even discovered that Yang Xiaoyang could sing immediately, and when the chorus was on the stage, Yang Xiaoyang was clapping and singing along.
Yang Tao was lying on the sofa, completely slumped.
Then I found that Yang Xiaoyang had unexpectedly become quiet, watching the performance on the stage closely.
The story is actually very simple.
There are a few actors in ancient costumes performing snake painting on the stage.
One of them drew quickly and well.
Yang Xiaoyang: "He must have won, and there are rewards for winning!"
Yang Tao was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that if he added unnecessary details, then this person would not win.
Sure enough, after a while, the second person was almost done.
The first one who finished the drawing had nothing better to do, so he added four claws to the snake he drew.
Finally, the judge said: "You drew the snake quickly and well, but snakes don't have legs, and you added claws to the snake, so you lose."
Yang Xiaoyang laughed: "This guy is so stupid."
Yang Tao also laughed.
This program is really entertaining and educational.
It is completely different from the education style in CCTV’s previous evening parties.
Having said that, there are many stories in Chinese history that are both entertaining and educational. Why do you have to make up some skits? This idiom theater is great!
One show at a time.
Yang Xiaoyang stared at the TV while eating.
Mom: "Eat quickly and stop watching."
Yang Xiaoyang ate everything in a flash and threw away his chopsticks: "I'm full!"
Then he sat down on the sofa again.
While watching TV today, Yang Xiaoyang didn't pick up the toy airplane, nor did he jump on the sofa or run around.
That already says a lot about how good the show is.
Han Zhou took out some of his own things and selected some things from this world, each of which had a characteristic.
That's crafted with care.
No extra stuff, just a pure show.
One program follows another, and no one tells the children what to do. These are things that should be done by parents.
For example, Yang Tao now.
Every time you watch a show, you will learn a lesson for Yang Xiaoyang.
After listening to this, Yang Xiaoyang said, "Oh, is that so?"
Teachers and parents naturally know what to educate children, naturally know what the program means, and will tell the children about it.
It would be great if an evening party could allow parents and children to interact with each other.
If the host were to say what the parents wanted to say, then what the hell would the parents be able to watch the children's evening party?
On TV and on the stage, the lights dimmed.
Two fireflies flew out, glowing.
Yang Xiaoyang: "Wow! What is this?!"
Yang Tao took a look and found that although it is difficult to see fireflies now, isn’t this obvious?
"This is a firefly. It glows!"
"When my dad was a kid, he used to catch fireflies with his friends."
Yang Xiaoyang: "Wow! Where can I catch fireflies? I want them too!!!"
Yang Tao smiled and said, "The environment is not good now. There are not so many fireflies. We can't catch them. If we catch them all, other children won't be able to see them."
Yang Xiaoyang: "Then Dad, can we go see the fireflies?"
Yang Tao: "Then when summer vacation comes, we will go to a place where there are fireflies."
Music is playing on TV.
The lights brightened a little.
The older choir of boys took to the stage.
With his hands behind his back, his body swayed rhythmically.
The melody stunned Yang Tao for a moment.
For the same music that is designed to maximize listening pleasure, the simpler it is, the stronger the feeling it gives people.
The lyrics of "Farewell" and the music of "The Insects Are Flying" are both classics in the world.
"The dark sky hangs low
Bright stars follow
Insects Fly
Insects Fly
Who are you missing..."
To be honest, compared with the Cantonese version of "A Pair of Pairs", the original lyricist of the Mandarin version obviously had to deal with it.
However, the essence of this song lies in the melody, and generally no one cares about the lyrics.
After all, a love song eventually became the most well-known children's song, which shows that people don't care about the meaning of the lyrics at all.
Although the author of this song started to talk nonsense after he could no longer make money in mainland China, the Mandarin lyrics he wrote when he first started to explore the mainland market to make money were still above average.
"The stars in the sky are crying
The roses on the ground wither
Cold wind blowing
Cold wind blowing
As long as you are with me..."
"Insects Fly
Flowers Sleep
A pair of beautiful
Not afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of heartbreak
No matter tired or not
No matter east, south, west or north..."
Although he couldn't remember the lyrics after singing it once, the beautiful melody had already had a huge impact on Yang Tao.
Is this a children's song? The composition is so beautiful! ?
Yang Tao didn't pay attention to who wrote it, so he was shocked at this moment and remembered to pay attention to this.
As the manager of a children's park, Yang Tao felt that this song would be suitable for the park if it could be developed.
But now, I can only wait until the party is over to watch it.
Soon, the show finally welcomed a rare adult singer.
Wang Chuyang was dressed very casually this time, just like an ordinary young man, standing on the stage.
The song he sang was "Let 's Row the Boat Together".
In fact, this song is also suitable for children to sing together.
However, there were already enough children at the scene, and Han Zhou would go crazy if there were any more.
At the beginning, Han Zhou planned to invite a few more adult singers to sing children's songs.
But Chen Feng and his men slipped away faster than each other, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of the soldiers who sang "The Train Is Flying".
Therefore, Han Zhou can only take advantage of ACE9.
Wang Chuyang was chosen to sing this song.
After filming The Legend of the Condor Heroes, members of ACE9 were arranged by Sister Hong to participate in commercial performances everywhere, which recently brought huge profits to the company.
The company’s new program has not yet arrived, and there are also a large number of companies on the market that are producing their own idol programs.
Next, ACE9 has one more group variety show to perform before the contract expires.
But before that, Sister Hong meant that more programs should be arranged for them before the price is lowered.
After all, the company has trained them for so long, but they haven't made much money, and the year is almost up.
Han Zhou also agreed.
As for this time, Han Zhou would definitely not let them come out together to sing a god-level song like "Let's Row the Boat Together".
So, this song was left to Wang Chuyang alone.
"Let us row our oars and push the boat through the waves.
The beautiful white tower is reflected on the sea.
Surrounded by green trees and red walls!"
At this time, many singers were already laughing.
“The nursery rhyme is also written like this…”
"The song 'Bugs Are Flying' was already super good, and this song 'Let's Row the Boat' is just as good, and the lyrics are even two levels stronger."
"By the way, how about I join the New World?"
"Are you sure there is no one from your company in the group?"
Soon, anonymous chat mode was opened in this group.
Then there was the singer with the red Alpaca head portrait: "Fuck it, I've had enough of my current company. I don't know where they bought these rubbish songs and released an album. Not to mention fooling the fans, I can't even stand listening to them myself."
"I heard that Lu Jin is already planning to shoot a movie, and he's the male lead. Look at him, first he was the male second, and the ratings broke 7, and then there's the movie, plus Han Zhou is here, what else can he do without when he releases an album next?"
"Yeah, two years ago I was no worse than Lu Jin. Now their advertising fees start at 15 million, and I only charge 4 million."
"Look at Wang Chuyang. He's only been in the industry for a short time. I was on the same show with him a while ago, and the host introduced him first and then me. I had to be careful when speaking on the show, for fear of offending his fans."
A group of people were complaining.
Especially the red-headed Alpaca complained the most.
It's anonymous mode anyway.
As they were chatting, a group notification popped up for everyone.
'Ding! Congratulations to Sun Shaoqi for getting the whale logo today. You are the best braggart today.'
“…”
“…”
The screen is filled with ellipsis .
Red Alpaca: “…”
But Sun Shaoqi was not panicked at all, as Sister Hong had already talked to him three times.
If the company really wants to make a fuss about this matter, I will just switch to New World. My contract will expire in half a year anyway.
The show continues.
Soon, a fairy tale that no one had ever seen was performed on the stage.
"Aladdin's Magic Lamp".
This is a rare fairy tale story in which a Chinese person is the protagonist.
However, this is a fairy tale from Central Asia, telling the story of the Chinese people, which was integrated by Westerners.
So, there are slight differences in fairy tales and China.
However, when it came into Han Zhou's hands, it was directly translated into Chinese.
Some of the scenes and stage designs are from frontier provinces, while others are directly in ancient style.
The whole story played out, leaving the young viewers in front of the TV stunned.
A magic lamp that can make wishes.
Three wishes.
The dreaminess of this kind of thing is a fatal blow to children!
If I had a magic lamp, I could wish for an ice cream, so hot!!!
When the Aladdin's Lamp stage ended, the party also came to an end.
Uncle Windmill: "Sister Moon, I want an Aladdin's magic lamp, too!"
Sister Moon: "I want it too. If I had Aladdin's magic lamp, I would make a wish for all the children to be happy every day!"
Uncle Windmill: "Then I wish that every child grows up happily!"
Uncle Windmill: "Alas, happy times are always short-lived. Today's Children's Day special party will end here."
Sister Moon: "See you next year, kids!"
See you next year, damn, after Han Zhou took over the Children's Day Gala, who will be so stupid as to be the director next year?
The ratings data for the middle of the show are already out.
By 8:40, the ratings had soared to around 9.
Basically, today, if you switch to CCTV-1, almost no one will switch channels.
Especially when there are children in front of the TV, the remote control is basically never touched.
Ratings of around 9!
You have to know that this is not the Spring Festival Gala, and not so many channels are broadcasting it simultaneously.
With a viewership rate of around 9%, the market share is aiming for over 30%.
They have basically eaten up the market.
Industry insiders estimate that the peak ratings may reach 12, and the market share may exceed 40 percent.
That is to say, out of the 100 television sets that are turned on tonight, 40 are broadcasting the gala.
Will there be someone to take over this job next year?
I'm afraid the central bank won't be able to hold the June 1 Children's Gala anymore.
Sister Moon
All members of ACE9 joined the stage this time, and hundreds of children who had performed today were also brought onto the stage.
Of course, in order to maintain controllability, the children's microphone is low and the ACE9's microphone is loud.
"Flowers once told me how you walked
The earth knows every corner of your heart
..."
"On sunny and joyful days
We hold hands and have so much to say. "
"Starlight fills all childhoods
The wind and rain have traveled to every corner of the world
The same feelings give us the same desires
The same joy gives us the same song..."
Many people who were watching this show while performing their own idol variety shows felt dizzy when they heard this song.
They are targeting ACE9 and want to get a piece of the pie.
However, as soon as this song came out, everyone knew that CCTV would use it over and over again.
Apart from anything else, the members of ACE9 may be often invited by CCTV to do programs and sing this song in the future.
Although they may not necessarily go together, sharing such a representative work makes it seem that this group of people are moving further and further down the official path.
They already have a fucking song called "Tomorrow Will Be Better".
Kill them all?
Only Han Zhou himself knew that the chorus song was just something he picked out at random.
No matter which song you choose, the effect will be the same, it will all be pulled to the top.
The show ended and Han Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tonight, a celebration party!"
There was cheering at the scene.
Finally, nothing went wrong. Although there were many problems in the process, at least nothing went wrong on stage.
However, these problems are also Han Zhou’s experience.
During the Spring Festival Gala, Han Zhou knew which aspects to pay special attention to.
After finishing his work, Han Zhou finally took a moment to look at his phone.
Text messages and micro messages exploded.
Wang Xiya: "It's a great success! Your ability to control the stage has been proven, the Spring Festival Gala is a sure thing."
An Lan: "Oh, "The Bugs Are Flying" is so nice and beautiful. An Lan is very satisfied with tonight's show!"
Chen Feng: "Come out quickly, I have something good to show you (You bastard, you wrote so many good songs, if you don't write for me, don't write for me, tie tie tie, hit the camera/gif)"
Zhang Ceyong: "It's hard to imagine that someone with such a childlike heart could write "The Burning Sun". By the way, I want to play Xin Xiaofeng."
Han Zhou replied: "You said yourself that you would never play a criminal. A real man should keep his word!"
Zhang Ceyong: "Oh, I am very polite."
Han Zhou: “…”
Wei Yuan: "Come and have a drink, the brothers are watching the Children's Gala at the bar to celebrate for you, come quickly."
Han Zhou was dumbfounded. You guys are the ones who know how to have fun. Watching the Children's Day party in a bar?
There were many more messages, and Han Zhou couldn't reply to them one by one, so he edited one: "Thank you for your support, thank you very much!"
Then let Lin Lin reply one by one.
Lin Lin: Isn’t this Amin’s job? Why does it fall on me?
It was already ten o'clock when Han Zhou finished celebrating with the staff of the Central Bank. He then took a car to the bar where Wei Yuan was.
Wei Yuan called on this group of people, who were basically working behind the scenes. Many of them were from New World, some were from Tianle, and many were not under Han Zhou and Wang Xiya's command.
But they all had interactions with Han Zhou, and had worked together on shows, TV series, movies, etc.
Even if Chen Feng invites you not to go, you have to be there this time.
When Han Zhou arrived, many people at the scene were obviously not expecting it.
Wei Yuan knew that Han Zhou was not a heartless person, and sure enough, he came.
Unfortunately, Wei Yuan couldn't drink much and soon shrank under the table.
It was his brother-in-law who was proficient in the sixteen-step tiger-crane double form who came and carried him back.
But Han Zhou has to find him again.
Because Han Jiaxin's script for "Dying to Survive" has been almost completed, Han Zhou wants Wei Yuan to join the team and work with Han Jiaxin to enrich the script.
Although Wei Yuan has now joined Tianle, Wang Xiya prepared a crew for him and let him be a director for once.
But obviously, it was not so successful, and Han Zhou was ready to work with Wei Yuan again.
