[Congratulations to the host for opening the certificate treasure chest (medium quality), and obtaining singing skills +5 (permanent), lyrics and music "Need You Now". ]

Judging from the certificate capacity, the song with this English name should be of much better quality than the previous one.

Hao Yun quickly flipped through the diary.

I discovered that not only the song title is in English, but even the lyrics are in English.

Shit, this system is such a mess.

However, when I think about it, it seems normal. That "Whiplash" is obviously a foreign script.

What's so strange about the emergence of foreign songs nowadays?

As for how to deal with this thing.

You must sing it yourself or find someone else to sing it. What's wrong with English songs? You can sing them all the same.

Maybe we can sell the album to Europe and America.

It is hard to describe the style of Hao Yun's albums. Many people suspect that he just writes whatever he wants and never cares about the style.

"Fireworks Fade Away" can be put together with "Wait A Minute", so is there anything he can't do?

Of course, his supporters think he is dissolute... and unruly.

The weirder the style of someone's own lyrics and music, the more it shows their talent.

Hao Yun also plans to record demos of these two songs after registering.

Let’s see who is suitable to sing.

January 1th, the first rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala.

In the next period of time, Hao Yun will focus his main energy on the Spring Festival Gala.

People in Haojiazhuang also knew that Hao Yun was going to be on the Spring Festival Gala.

It is said that smoke is coming out of the Hao family’s ancestral grave.

No, it was more than just smoke, it was about to explode.

This year, Haojiazhuang plans to hold a grand banquet and invite a troupe of actors to perform from the 28th to the 8th day of the first lunar month.

Any day less would be disrespectful to our ancestors.

Under such circumstances, Hao's father and mother decisively refused to come to the capital to spend the New Year with their son.

They simply can't leave Haojiazhuang.

After the Spring Festival Gala issue is resolved, Hao Yun will be busy attending the Berlin Film Festival.

New Year’s Eve is on January 1th, and the Berlin Film Festival starts on February 28th, so there is more time.

As early as the end of December last year, the Berlin Film Festival announced that films including "Syriana" and "New World" were shortlisted for the competition unit. "The Promise" from China and the Sino-Dutch co-production "The Invisible Wave" were also shortlisted for this year's Berlin Film Festival.

"Whiplash" was also shortlisted for the main competition unit without any suspense, and was one of the first films to be shortlisted.

At present, Hao Yun's "Whiplash" is considered to be in direct competition with Chen Kaige's "The Promise".

Because it is unlikely to give two awards to mainland China.

It's either "The Promise" or "Whiplash".

Therefore, when promoting "The Promise", Chen Kaige "analyzed" "Whiplash" and "Those Years" many times, and he almost pointed at Hao Yun's nose and said that all the movies he made were rubbish.

This so-called grandmaster is so narrow-minded.

Some people also speculate that once Hao Yun's "Whiplash" surpasses "The Promise" to win the award, it is very likely that Chen Kaige will make things difficult for him.

However, it is impossible for Hao Yun to withdraw from the Berlin Film Festival just because he does not want to offend Chen Kaige.

Moreover, as the box office of "The Promise" started high but ended lower and lower, it was compared with Hao Yun by many film critics - as they were both films made in the same year, comparison was inevitable - Hao Yun had almost offended Chen Kaige.

This decline does not mean that the box office of "The Promise" is very low. On the contrary, Hao Yun feels that the box office of "The Promise" is a bit inflated.

Its national box office reached 7452 million RMB in its first weekend, breaking the record of more than 6000 million RMB in the national box office in its first weekend set by "Kung Fu".

It has now exceeded 1.6 million RMB.

It’s even better than the mainland box office of “Those Years”.

The marketing of "The Promise" is even crazier and more hard-working than that of "Those Years".

In the early stages, the crew deliberately kept the filming low-key and kept the character appearances strictly confidential, successfully arousing the expectations of the media and the audience.

When the film entered the promotion stage, The Promise launched a high-profile attack:

A huge sum of money was spent on the Berlin promotion conference, the official website was launched in a high-profile manner, the actors' looks were fully unveiled, Chinese films were represented in the Oscars, the Chengdu preview was strictly inspected, the novel adaptation rights went to Guo Xiaosi, an anti-piracy and rights protection oath-taking meeting was held, and fans were selected to attend the premiere...

There was also a passionate kiss between Chen Hong and Chen Kaige in public. A group of celebrities came to "If you haven't been to the Great Wall, you are not a true man!"

Intensive publicity is like waves. As soon as one wave subsides, the next one comes.

The audience's expectations were aroused time and time again, like a dam storing water. After the release, the enthusiasm for watching the movie was like opening a floodgate, which was converted into huge box office profits.

However, the high box office did not bring good reputation to the film.

Precisely because the expectations were set too high, "The Promise" was met with almost universal criticism online.

One audience member asked pointedly: "I really want to know, where did all this money, 3.5 million, go?"

Well, this isn’t really that sharp.

"Halfway through the movie, I finally figured out what it was about. This movie could be renamed "The Story of a Woman and Three Passengers."

There are more pointed ones too.

"The Promise, also known as the Extreme of Boring, is said to be a pile of feces made of gold. Viewers may feel sleepy or even vomit. It also contains swear words, violent tendencies and other negative reactions. Moreover, 91% of viewers will feel cheated."

Faced with the online abuse, Chen Kaige almost vomited blood.

One time I just cried after drinking.

However, there were too many viewers scolding him, and he couldn't sue them one by one like he did with "A Steamed Bun".

So, he took out his anger on Hao Yun.

They say the audience are all idiots, uneducated, unable to understand things with substance, and can only watch garbage like Hao Yun's "Those Years".

It is a shame in itself that a great director has not been able to defeat a young man like Hao Yun.

Considering Chen Kaige's personality, it is inevitable to offend him.

Hao Yun wasn't that scared either.

As long as Uncle Jiang is around, he can continue to be arrogant.

Hao Yun is not indifferent to the Berlin Film Festival. He will go there when it opens and have a good chat with the judges and film critics for a few days. They will all become his supporters.

Feng Yuanzheng was born in the National Theatre of China. He followed Hao Yun to compete in the Berlin Film Festival, and the National Theatre of China would not stand idly by.

It is impossible for domestic media to take sides.

It will not affect Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi's performance in the Spring Festival Gala, as Chen Kaige is not the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala.

According to the rehearsal rules of the evening party, except for stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, all stars and hosts participating in the performance must appear today.

But surprisingly, Zhao Benshan, who was originally scheduled to appear today, did not show up at the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal. It was said that the sketch "Talking about Things" had not been rehearsed yet, so he had to be absent temporarily.

However, Zhao Benshan did not come, but he saw the herd of cattle.

Photography, official duties, business, and filming, this crosstalk artist has been "not doing his job properly" in the past few years, but this experience has not been glorious. He has always been accompanied by fierce criticism and doubts, which not only left Niu Qun with scars both physically and mentally, but also greatly damaged his reputation.

This year, he finally returned to the literary and artistic stage that brought him honor, playing the street leading role "Ma Shangfeng" in the Spring Festival Gala sketch "Working in Kindergarten".

The first rehearsal is a makeup rehearsal.

Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi were first arranged to put on makeup, and then sat there waiting to go on stage. According to the program list handed to them, they were the ninth to go on stage.

The rehearsal hasn't officially started yet, so everyone can only wait.

"Are you nervous? Are you afraid of being chopped?" Hao Yun asked An Xiaoxi.

"It's okay. It looks quite interesting. It turns out that the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala that we usually watch looks like this." An Xiaoxi was not nervous. She looked around curiously.

Even saw some children.

When it came to the rehearsal, the chief director Lang Kun first gave a talk to all the people participating in the rehearsal.

The general meaning is that considering that there will not be many viewers watching the Spring Festival Gala after midnight every year, and this year the relaxed "ban and limit" on setting off firecrackers has been introduced, the audience will definitely go out to set off firecrackers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, so the time should be appropriately shortened.

In short, the goal is to slim down the Spring Festival Gala programs.

Now there are 41 programs which is too many and we need to cut some of them.

Everyone try your best to perform. If anyone performs poorly, don't blame others for being cut from the show.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Receiving an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala is a very prestigious thing, but once it is "returned" by the Spring Festival Gala, you will inevitably lose some face.

Compared with the grand language programs - judging from the program list, they take up at least half of the show's duration - this year's song and dance programs were rather lackluster, lasting only over 50 minutes, and the number of solo songs was also sharply reduced.

This song by Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi is also in danger.

Although they are not singing solo, their duet is very important. Popular idol singers including Xie Tingfeng, Pang Long, Shuimu Nianhua, Twins, Zhang Xinzhe, Lin Junjie, etc. can only appear in the joint singing.

Besides, a joint singing would not require so many people.

There is a 50% elimination rate for these people to earn a spot in the joint concert.

It's so cruel.
