Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 325 Bole
Gaining more than 50 followers in three hours would probably be in the top 20 of the trending search list ten years later, let alone at the end of 2009, when people were still using web pages to post Weibo.

As the first wave of cooperation between Weibo and Spring Festival Gala,
It is also the first step of the "CCTV Spring Festival Gala New Media Plan" jointly promoted by the Spring Festival Gala's chief director Ma Dong and Sina Weibo's executive vice president Peng Shaobing, CCTV.com and CCTV1.
This is a good start.

In this, not only the two words "Chen Nuo" played a role, but also the content he posted was also indispensable.

Who could have thought that Chen Nuo would speak like this?
It was fine before, but this time it was really a meme. And it was played well.

This formed a sharp contrast with the impression Chen Nuo had always given to everyone.

Here we have to talk about several interviews he has given before.

From CCTV6 to Luyu's Appointment, from the widely-publicized Oscars to Hengdian, Tokyo, and even every appearance during the promotion of a movie,
The impression he gives to the public is that he is cold and serious, and has a lot of profound truths.

The two official announcements of his relationship afterwards were even more so, as if he was going against the wind and did not give face to anyone. He killed all fans and haters, which gave people a feeling of being inhuman.

As a result, when the sentence "Do you believe me, Chen Nuo?" came out, it was really fresh and made some passers-by who thought you were nothing but an actor in the entertainment industry change their attitude and think it's worth paying attention to you.

Therefore, among the 60 users that increased in these three hours, almost two-thirds were new registered users.

And this is obviously just the beginning and is far from the climax.

Ma Dong said to the phone with a smile: "Boss Peng, I didn't expect the effect to be so good. It was really a sudden inspiration. Hahaha, it's nothing."

Having said that, Ma Dong couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction on his chubby face.

Do you believe it? I’m Chen Nuo.

Those six short words may seem simple, but they actually contain such marketing ideas that Director Ma felt it would not be a problem to write a 60-page PPT for them.

The final achievement was certainly not accidental, but the result of his strategic planning.

Humph, Sina, what's the point? In the end, you still have to find me, right?
Ma Dong was sitting with his legs crossed, just short of holding a cigarette in his mouth and humming a few lines from Dingjun Mountain.

Unfortunately, it is two o'clock in the afternoon and he is still in the CCTV studio. There are a lot of people around him. There are also a few singers on the stage who are still rehearsing. I can't hum them, which makes people feel a little disappointed.

But immediately, the smile on Director Ma's face froze, because Peng Shaobing on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "Don't say that. Director Ma, your copywriting really worked a lot this time. Now on our Weibo, the phrase 'Do you believe it?' It's a huge hit."

Hearing this, the smile on Ma Dong's face tended to grow wider, but after hearing the next sentence, he could hardly smile anymore.

".Sure enough, the ancients were right. There are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers. Director Ma, congratulations."

Congratulations?

However, although.

It is true that his last name is Ma.

But why doesn't he behave like a human being and become a thousand-mile horse?

No matter how famous or awesome that person is, he is almost 20 years younger than him.

To put it bluntly, when "Challenge the Host" became popular and his fame rose, who would recognize who Chen Nuo was?

How did you become his mentor?

However, as a participant, he also knew the ins and outs of this matter.

This Weibo post by Chen Nuo was already scheduled in the schedule in the PPT at the end of November.

This serves as a key link between the Spring Festival Gala and Weibo.

Originally, this matter was none of his business.

However, the people at Sina had not yet decided what to post on Weibo when the time came.

After much debate, we finally went to ask the person involved.

The result was inexplicable. The other party said he was busy filming and had no time to think about it, so I could leave the matter to him.

Ma Dong thought this was truly amazing.

After following this Weibo war for so long and studying Chen Nuo's Weibo post for so long, he actually has some ideas.

These six short words are easy to say, but they contain his understanding of the Weibo platform.

Personalized, youthful, and unconventional.

He even thought of five Weibo posts of the same nature and finally chose this one, which is considered impartial.

As it turned out, the effect was indeed good.

From this we can see that he is definitely worthy of the title of "Qianlima".

But as for Bole or something like that, haha, no matter what others say, he will never admit it.

He felt that it must be a blind cat catching a dead mouse, otherwise, how could the other party know that although he was not young, his mentality was still young after just meeting him once?

"Well, yes, hahahaha, I didn't expect that Chen Nuo trusted me so much. He actually let me handle such an important matter. Now, I can only say that I lived up to his expectations. Hahahaha."

Peng Shaobing smiled and said, "Yes, who could have expected it. Just looking at your appearance, no one could tell that you, Mr. Ma, have such a brain. I really have to admit it. I have to admit it."

Ma Dong smacked his lips. He couldn't tell whether Peng Shaobing was praising him or scolding him.

"I am over-flattered."

"By the way, Director Ma, there's one more thing. How was the final result of Chen Nuo's song?"

Speaking of this, Ma Dong couldn't help but feel a little headache. He also knew the reason why Peng Shaobing was concerned. After all, in a sense, Sina Weibo and Chen Nuo are now tied together. The more popular Chen Nuo is, the more advantage Sina Weibo will have in the traffic competition.

However, this matter seemed a bit difficult to him.

Actually, it's Chen Nuo's original voice.

From what I heard just now, it’s definitely not good.

He was unwilling to say it clearly, and said vaguely: "Overall, it's good. However, the style is indeed different from what we had imagined before. At present, it seems that the lighting and stage design need to be rearranged, and we are also preparing to hold another meeting to discuss it."

That’s right, this was the solution Ma Dong finally came up with, to make up for the singer’s lack of singing skills through visual effects.

But if we can't come up with a good plan at the meeting tonight, then there is nothing we can do. We can only ask the other party to change the song urgently. Even singing a song like "Wish you a prosperous life" will do.

"Okay, anyway, I'd like to trouble Director Ma to take care of it."

The two chatted for a few more sentences and then hung up the phone.

As soon as the phone call was hung up, an assistant director in charge of the song and dance program came over. He looked a little solemn and seemed to have something to do.

"Brother Zheng, what's wrong?" Ma Dong was used to people looking for him. To be honest, as the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, he was busy with big and small things, and it was normal to have a four-hour break every day. If there was really no one looking for him one day, Ma Dong would feel that something was wrong and his position was in jeopardy.

"Well, it's nothing serious. An actor from a show raised a few questions. Director Jin asked me to come and discuss it with you."

Ma Dong frowned.

Because the Director Jin mentioned by Director Zheng is none other than Jin Yue, who had competed with Ma Dong for the position of chief director.

This winner of the "Starlight Award" for 19 consecutive times, the chief director of the former Spring Festival Galas in 01, 03 and 07, knew shame and then became brave enough to not withdraw from this year's Spring Festival Gala. Instead, he served as Ma Dong's deputy and was the director of this year's song and dance programs.

Ma Dong was startled and asked, "Which program?"

Director Zheng said, "It's the song just now."

"'Pa Pa Pa'?" Ma Dong frowned. "What's wrong? I just listened to it, wasn't it pretty good?"

Brother Zheng was stunned for two seconds before he said, "Really? However, Teacher Xiaodong and Teacher Guoqing have some objections."

"Xie Xiaodong? Cai Guoqing? What are their opinions?" Ma Dong frowned even deeper.

After all, these two were considered top figures in terms of their seniority and connections with CCTV. If they had opinions, he would take them seriously.

"They both felt," said Brother Zheng, "well, they just wanted to change people."

Ma Dong was startled, his face darkened even more, "Who to change?"

"..."

"Zhao Liying?"

Brother Zheng looked at him and thought, you know it too, but that's true, except for the deaf man, everyone else should know it.

Then he whispered, "The two teachers didn't say it in front of the little girl, they just talked to me privately. They were mainly afraid that it would affect their program and they would be eliminated by the director team from the program the day before yesterday."

Ma Dong snorted and said, "I told them clearly who Zhao Liying was and who she was. We are all veterans. We don't want to replace her. I just want you to come to me for confirmation.

"That's fine. Go and tell them. Ask the two teachers to be down-to-earth and tell them what I, Ma Dong, said. No matter how they adjust it later, I guarantee this song. It will definitely make it to the show."

Brother Zheng laughed twice and said, "Director Ma is indeed very insightful. I also think that's what they mean. The main reason is that Director Ma, you are valued by the leaders of the Taiwan government this time. You are the one who takes the lead. Everyone is afraid of you and respects you. Even Cai Guoqing and Jie Xiaodong are afraid of being replaced by you. You are really impressive. When Lao Jin was a director before, no one took him seriously."

Ma Dong felt relieved now, and said calmly: "Old Zheng, you have said this before. Why are you afraid of me? No matter how harsh and heartless my words are, I just hope that our evening show will be effective and that the people across the country can have a happy New Year."

Brother Zheng nodded seriously and said, "Then for the sake of the show's effect, shouldn't we make some arrangements for Zhao Liying? Director Ma, her out-of-tune singing style is really a bit unbearable."

Ma Dong said unhappily, "We have to arrange it. Well, you can go and talk to her later, but please be more tactful, okay?"

"Well, Director Ma, how do you think we should be tactful?"

"A little girl like you can just make up an excuse. You're asking me this? See for yourself."

"Well, can I just say the microphone is broken?"

"……Row."

……

The day's rehearsal finally came to an end.

Then it was time for the meeting.

It is like this for every rehearsal. The director team of the Spring Festival Gala will later judge the performance results during the rehearsal, and ultimately only the best or most well-connected programs will survive to the end.

The dance "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond", as a dark horse submitted by the local TV station, was favored by many people at this meeting and has basically won the final seat.

Similarly, "Game of Chess", which incorporates the elements of martial arts and dance and is led by Wang Yabin, also conquered the director team with her wonderful performance tonight and booked another seat in the dance category.

After that, there are language, opera, and language categories, each of which has outstanding works shortlisted.

After talking about these excellent programs, we started talking about another type of program.

The first one is "Big Talk".

After the first trial, this is the second trial.

Everyone thinks there is still room for improvement, but overall, it is still pretty good. Feng Gong's last disciple, the fat girl named Jia Ling, is very likable. Although she is a little bit contrived as a comedian, it seems that for Feng Gong's sake, it should be considered pretty good, at least much better than the one in "Pa Pa Pai".

That one was really difficult. After the first trial, we asked her to go back and practice. When I listened to her performance today, it was almost the same as if she hadn't practiced at all.

However, at the meeting, Brother Zheng replied that he had already communicated with Xiao Zhao.

Ma Dong didn't care how the communication ended. As long as it was done, he didn't ask any more questions. In short, during the first trial, another person with connections was killed, so the program had to be saved.

Then we talked about a few other things, what problems each had and where they could be improved.

Afterwards, the ultimate question that many people had been deliberately avoiding was thrown out.

"Let me ask you a question, Xiao Ma. You listened to it today. Do you think Chen Nuo's song can be finalized? I think based on the effect today, it's not going to work, right?"

The person who spoke was none other than Jin Yue.

Ma Dong chuckled and said, "Director Jin, what do you mean?"

"I suggest that he change the song." Jin Yue said, "Xiao Ma, there is something I have always wanted to say, but I have never had the chance. It is like a thorn in my throat that I cannot express until I get it out. Today, in front of everyone, I will just express my opinion."

"The Spring Festival Gala is a festival for the whole nation, not a concert for one person, nor a stage for some people to show off. We have always been advocating for those who have the ability to perform and those who don't. It's fine for a chorus program, but for a three-minute solo program, let's not talk about the ability first. Just choosing such a song, I feel like it's causing trouble for the whole nation."

"Everyone here should have heard it. Is that the song we listen to during the Chinese New Year? If you ask me, when every household hears it on New Year's Eve, there are only two words to describe it: bad luck!"

Hearing this, Ma Dong couldn't help but say, "Director Jin, I think it's just literature and art at best, with a strong artistic atmosphere, and it can't be said to be unlucky. Besides, it's not that there is no way to solve it..."

Jin Yue waved his hands impatiently and said, "Solve whatever you want. Change the song."

"As I said before, this is the Spring Festival Gala. No matter how big a star is, he is just an ordinary artist here. No one should get special treatment. To be honest, if I were to choose the person this time, I would definitely not let Chen Nuo go. I have already contacted Faye Wong. But in the end, the station leaders chose you, so I won't say anything. I am also willing to participate and cooperate to make the gala a success."

"I really can't stand it anymore. I won't say anything about Zhao Liying. I'll play the recording when the time comes. But, as for Chen Nuo, you guys don't dare to say anything, so I have to stand up."

"This song is definitely not acceptable! Go and tell him that the program team has objections to the song he chose. Tell him to change the song. If he doesn't, then change the singer! We are CCTV, and we are the Spring Festival Gala. It is an honor and glory to be on our show! If anyone is so arrogant, we must resolutely take him down!"

"If you don't dare to say this, then I will go and tell him."

Seeing Jin Yue slamming the table excitedly, Ma Dong felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a piece of shit.

Although he was the chief director, Jin Yue was not comparable to him in terms of qualifications, awards, and status among evening show directors. When the station arranged for Jin Yue to be the song and dance director for him, he did not want to agree.

Now it has really jumped out.

Who the hell doesn't know that he can be the chief director because of this.

There is no doubt that Jin Yue is trying to destroy his own Great Wall by doing this.

But after all, he was a senior, so Ma Dong had to hold back his breath and explain: "Brother Jin, this song feels quite sad, but it's generally good. After all, being touched is also a kind of warmth. Right?"

"As for the issue of strength you mentioned, Director Jin, haha, does anyone in the country care about this?"

“But, I’ve actually thought about it.”

"Chen Nuo is indeed not a professional singer, but in this program, we can try something else and add some creativity to the lighting. I think..."

"Thinking about what? Pony. Creative ideas? Haha."

Jin Yue interrupted Ma Dong again.

At this moment, no matter how good Ma Dong was at pretending to be a smiling tiger, his expression suddenly turned ugly.

As the chief director, he couldn't finish his words in front of a room full of people. It was really embarrassing for him. Veins popped out on his forehead.

Jin Yue sneered, "What kind of creativity is this? It has to be different. Xiao Ma, you make it sound simple, but in the end, all of us in the song and dance group will have to stay up all night for many hours just because of what you said."

"Is it easy to come up with ideas? Xiao Ma, Xiao Ma, we have meetings every day, and every time we have meetings, we go on until 12 o'clock in the evening. Why is that? Isn't it just to pursue a little bit of creativity?"

"As a result, in your mouth, it's like cabbage from the field. Haha. Colleagues, do you think I'm right?"

After Jin Yue finished speaking, the conference room on the second floor of the CCTV studio building fell into silence.

Dozens of people present looked at each other. No one spoke.

Ma Dong gritted his teeth and looked around, only to see that Brother Liang, who had said before that he was the only one in charge and that the whole world admired him, was lowering his head, as if he had heard nothing.

Jin Yue said: "Xiao Ma, sometimes, when we are the chief director, one word will make our colleagues run around, so we must be careful."

Ma Dong gritted his teeth, puffed up his chubby cheeks, and finally took a deep breath.

But he also knew that no matter what happened before, it was not his turn to back down now. Otherwise, how could he, as the chief director, convince the public?

At the same time, he also knew that not everyone was really so disrespectful. It was just that Jin Yue had a lot of experience, and he was clearly challenging him. Under his aggressive attitude, everyone present had been in the company for more than ten or twenty years. Who would be willing to show up and be Ma Dong's cannon fodder at this time?

If it really doesn't work, I can only take it upon myself first and deal with it later.

He was just about to say that he would take care of it.

As a result, suddenly the phone in his pocket started vibrating.

Ma Dong was upset and wanted to hang up directly, but when he saw the number on the phone, he was stunned for a moment and quickly picked up the phone and said, "Qu Tai, hello, what's up?"

Afterwards, Jin Yue and everyone present saw Ma Dong's face change from red to white, then back to red and then back to normal, in just a few words, just like the face-changing performance in Sichuan Opera.

After just half a minute, the call was hung up while Ma Dong was mumbling something.

When Jin Yue saw Ma Dong hung up the phone, he immediately said, "What do you think, Xiao Ma? What do you think we should do? What if you still can't listen to what I just said? Forget it, if you want me, Old Jin, to take charge of this matter, I will do my best to do it. After all, this is my job now."

A good move is to retreat in order to advance.

Everyone else in the meeting room cursed the old coin in their hearts. But when gods fight, no fool will stand up. It all depends on how Ma Dong responds.

At this time, Ma Dong was staring at the mobile phone on the table in a daze, with a stunned look on his face. He did not slowly raise his head until Jin Yue finished speaking.

After looking at Jin Yue for a while, he suddenly laughed.

Everyone was a little confused.

Jin Yue was also a little confused.

Why is he sitting here today?
Of course, he also knew that Chen Nuo would definitely go in the end.

But such a sneaky and cunning guy snatched away the director's throne that he was destined to win.

He had waited so long to get to this moment. He had been holding back his anger for so long, and it was really hard for him to let it out.

Seeing that Ma Dong was about to be put on the fire, he of course had to strike while the iron was hot and let Ma Dong take the responsibility himself.

If it succeeds by then, it will be as it should be and will not be considered a great achievement.

But if it doesn’t work, haha.

No matter what Qu Tai said on the phone, Ma Dong must not calm down now.

Jin Yue thought it over and continued with a smile: "Why, Xiao Ma, are you really going to let me do it? No problem. Just tell me what to do, and we'll do it."

Ma Dong shook his head and said, "No need, Brother Jin."

Jin Yue was delighted and asked, "What? Xiao Ma, are you going to do it yourself?"

Ma Dong continued to shake his head and said, "Not really. Qu Tai just said that there is a person who is going to do this, so he specifically told me about it."

Jin Yue had never expected this to happen. His heart sank, and he forced a smile, saying, "This... seems a little against the rules. However, since Qu Tai introduced us, it's just right for us to take over this hot potato. But Xiao Ma, I still have to say a few unpleasant words. You still have to check this matter..."

Ma Dong still shook his head and said, "I can't do the screening. I'll ask him to come to the meeting tomorrow, and then you'll have to screen him, Teacher Jin, to see how good he is."

Jin Yue smiled and said, "You think so highly of me?"

Ma Dong smiled and said, "Yes."

"That's no problem." Jin Yue said cheerfully, "Since I'm the director of the song and dance, then of course I should contribute. I can't say anything else, but in terms of experience, I've personally been working in the domestic stage evening party industry for so many years, so I should be able to pass it. However, Xiao Ma, you are the chief director, so you can't just leave it alone. In the end, you still have to make the final decision."

Jin Yue said and took a sip of tea.

He made up his mind that no matter who it was tomorrow, no matter how eloquently they spoke, they would not be able to pass his test.

As long as he insists that it is not possible, who can say anything else? Stage art, such as choreography, is a matter of opinion.

Ma Dong shook his head and said, "No, I won't interfere in this matter. Just like what you said before, Director Jin, I have little experience and qualifications. When the time comes, I probably won't understand what Director Zhang Yimou says. His affairs still have to be decided by you, Director Jin."

Although Ma Dong spoke very fast, he was the host after all, and his articulation was extremely clear. One of the names in his speech stunned Jin Yue for a moment.

I forgot to swallow the tea in my mouth, and when I opened my mouth, the tea flowed down the corners of my mouth.

But he reacted very quickly. He closed his mouth immediately as his neck felt cold. However, he swallowed too quickly and choked on the food in his trachea, causing him to cough repeatedly.

But as he kept coughing, the conference room became noisy.

"Director Ma, who are you talking about?"

"Zhang Yimou?"

"Zhang Yimou is coming to arrange a program for Chen Nuo?"

"I am grass."

"Zhang Yimou and Chen Nuo? Our Spring Festival Gala is going to be a blast!"

"Director Ma, is Director Zhang only arranging Chen Nuo's program? Or will he participate in all of them?"

"Quiet, quiet." Ma Dong stretched out his hands, pressed them down, and said, "Let me make one thing clear. Director Zhang accepted Chen Nuo's personal invitation this time, and he will only be responsible for Chen Nuo's singing program."

"I just made an appointment on the phone. Director Zhang will come over at 6 pm tomorrow. He will hold a meeting with me and other relevant colleagues to discuss the specific plan."

"When the time comes..." Ma Dong looked at Jin Yue, who was staring at him in disbelief. He saw a large black wet spot on the man's collar, which looked like he had urinated.

Ma Dong showed a gentle smile on his fat face, "Director Jin, I'll trouble you to give me some advice when the time comes."

After saying this, for some reason, Ma Dong remembered Peng Shaobing's words again.

Bole.

Let Zhang Yimou come to the Spring Festival Gala to design programs for him.

He is really a good mentor.
