I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 221 Another big bomb!
February 2011, 2, Lantern Festival.

Backstage of the Lantern Festival Gala.

The team of "Qinyuanchun in Classics·Changsha" has just won the first place in the song and dance category of this CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Everyone received a golden rabbit trophy and a certificate.

"I won a prize, woooooo!"

"Each of our names are listed on it!"

"It's worth it!"

"Haha, everything in the past two months is worth it!"

"I have to thank Brother Jin and Teacher Lin!"

"..."

Everyone was talking at once, looking extremely happy holding the trophy in their hands.

Including Xiao Zhu, he also couldn't put it down.

Just now they also performed a Lantern Festival program on stage, which was an interview, talking about the interesting things during rehearsal and on stage.

It only took ten minutes, with some questions and answers prepared in advance, some of which were raised by netizens on Weibo.

However, such a program actually has the highest ratings at present. It is conceivable that this Spring Festival Gala program has great value in the hearts of the people and has indeed become popular. Many viewers are actually looking forward to who came up with the idea, who wrote the manuscript, Chen Jin's thoughts on playing this role, and so on.

The program satisfied the audience one by one, and the host Li Yong also kept the audience in suspense, saying that there might be a sequel.

Netizens have already started talking about it, wondering if there will be a second part next year.

But how to shoot the second part?
If it's filmed badly, wouldn't it be destroying the classic and desecrating it?
In short, people were saying all kinds of things, but Chen Jin came in front of everyone with a check.

"10 yuan bonus!"

Although there is no performance fee for performing on the Spring Festival Gala, there will be corresponding remuneration if you win a prize.

Zhao Benshan has won first place several times and is also known as the King of Sketches, earning a sum of money every year.

The various advertising and sponsorship fees that CCTV earns from the Spring Festival Gala start at tens of billions, so this bonus is of course just a drop in the bucket for them.

"Equally!"

Chen Jin smiled and said, "I said, stop talking nonsense!"

These people may not necessarily take it according to their nature, because the idea was indeed proposed by Chen Jin, and it was Lin Zhaohua who was in charge of the rehearsal, but a team is a team, and Chen Jin does not lack this little money.

Sharing the profits equally can win people's hearts, and the most important thing is that this team is very pure.

Including people like sound effects and special effects teachers.

A few thousand dollars per person is not much, but this little money has a different meaning.

"Oh~~~"

Several people suddenly looked at each other, and then picked up Chen Jin in unison.

"Fuck——"

Chen Jin was thrown up by them.

"Stop, something's wrong!"

Chen Jin yelled, but it was of no use at all.

After a while, he stood there dazed, pointing at everyone silently.

"Let me think about it. I forgot everything after you guys turned me around like that!"

Chen Jin supported a big guy and then remembered: "Oh, there is one more thing. Do you want to continue this program?"

Chen Jin looked at everyone, including Han Jianu. She was a behind-the-scenes staff member, responsible for organizing manuscripts.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Speak, just think!"

"What's there to be afraid of saying?"

Chen Jin smiled and said that these guys just looked at him and didn't say anything.

"miss you!"

Zhu Yanmanzi answered for everyone with a smile, and the others immediately echoed: "Of course!"

“But the second part won’t be easy to shoot, right?”

"At least we have to wait until next year!"

“I want to keep doing it anyway!”

"Me too……"

"Do!!!"

The reactions of the crowd were the same as what Liu Gang said; Chen Jin did not need this program to maintain her career, but the team members definitely needed it.

"Just think about it!"

“Who said we have to wait until next year!”

Chen Jin laughed and said, "I will come and talk to the headquarters right away to see if we can make a variety show called "China in Classics", just like the "Lecture Room" back then!"

"China in the classics?"

"Oh, I see. Just like when we talk to the ancients?"

"Yes, other historical figures?"

“This can be done!”

“This show can definitely…”

Everyone understood what Chen Jin said, and they started talking to each other.

Several students who studied acting had their eyes sparkling: "Doesn't that mean we all have a chance to appear on CCTV?"

"You can also be the leading male or female character!"

Chen Jin looked at these guys and said, "I think you, Xiao Lu, can play the role of Mencius. It's quite realistic. You have moved three times, just like Meng's mother moved three times!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"It's true. Aren't stage plays and dramas also for the audience? This show is also for the audience, and it has ratings. It's definitely higher than offline exposure. If the ratings are good, it's no worse than participating in a TV show!"

"and……"

Chen Jin looked at the hopeful faces in front of him and said, "This is harder to act out than a TV drama. It's the most challenging for your acting skills!"

"I don't have the ability and I don't dare to go on stage; but what's better than a stage play is that we can hone the role over and over again and bring the role to life, which will help improve my future performance and character image!"

"Maybe one of you can bring so-and-so to life?"

The simplest example.

If this show becomes popular and someone wants to make a TV series about Mencius, they might think of a certain actor.

"Get it? Another special type!"

"If you play Cao Cao well, maybe you will be chosen for the new Three Kingdoms film!"

Chen Jin's words made the actors in front of him suddenly excited.

opportunity!

This is definitely an opportunity that is completely different from the current entertainment industry opportunities of acting in TV dramas and movies.

Moreover, since it is produced by CCTV, the quality and ratings are absolutely guaranteed.

Of course, the premise is that the program must be good, otherwise it will be cancelled.

CCTV’s current variety shows have very high requirements for quality and reputation; "China in Classics" is a program for 20 years later, and 10 years later, TV variety shows and so on will be well developed.

Now, except for Mango TV, the variety shows on other TV stations are all small-scale.

Running Man and The Voice of China haven’t come out yet.

Therefore, if this program is launched early, it will either fail or become a huge hit like "Lecture Room".

It's mainly about writing and performance.

Chen Jin will have to have a good chat with Liu Gang later on about how to increase the ratings of this show.

The first character of this first season must be chosen carefully.

As long as the first issue becomes popular, the rest will follow naturally.

The audience will definitely watch it episode by episode, and look forward to who will be in the next episode? ! "Chen Jin!"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Liu Gang greeted Chen Jin backstage, and Chen Jin hurriedly gave the trophy and other things to Zhu Yanmanzi, then followed him to the backstage office.

"This is Director Zhang, the director of CCTV's Arts and Culture Center. He's in charge of all variety shows!"

Liu Gang introduced himself to Chen Jin, and Chen Jin immediately knew who the other person was: Liu Gang's boss - Zhang Xiaohai.

"Director Zhang!"

Chen Jin hurriedly shook hands with him. Zhang Xiaohai and Zhang Yimou were old partners and they often chatted together during the Olympics.

In fact, it was his suggestion that Chen Jin perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

He has directed four Spring Festival Galas, and he was also responsible for directing the live broadcasts and rebroadcasts of major domestic programs, such as the return of Hong Kong to China, the return of Macao to China, the anniversary military parade, the Olympic Games, etc.

This person is not very famous among the people, but he is definitely a big shot in the circle.

"I finally got to see the real person. He's completely different from what he saw on the show!"

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Xiaohai shook Chen Jin's hand warmly and smiled at Liu Gang.

He had a ruddy face and a white beard. He looked less than 60 years old and was slightly plump.

Holding Chen Jin's hand tightly.

"So I can only act to the best of my ability, and the makeup artist and the team also deserve credit!"

Chen Jin spoke modestly as the three of them sat down.

"Da Liu discussed with me these days and wants to make your program into a cultural column, just in time for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Party and the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution!"

Zhang Xiaohai chatted with Chen Jin for a while and then started talking directly.

Chen Jin nodded: "Okay, I asked my team and they have no objection!"

"It's Teacher Lin..."

"It's okay. Professor Lin will be the artistic director. We will find a director. There are also people at the script desk. Let's work together to make this show a success, right?"

Zhang Xiaohai was smiling there.

"Da Liu, tell Chen Jin your idea, and then you can discuss the details of the cooperation!"

Zhang Xiaohai came forward to ensure that the program was basically ok, because he was the person in charge of the station, and he would be the nominal producer.

Chen Jin will definitely be the chief planner, and Liu Gang will be the chief director.

The general division of labor in variety shows is like this.

"Chen Jin, this is what I think!"

"Isn't your program inspired by Qin Yuan Chun Changsha?"

"So we can call it "China in Poetry", and each issue will correspond to a poem. I have already thought of the content of the first issue, and I just talked about it with Director Zhang!"

Liu Gang looked very confident and excited.

I guess he’s excited just thinking about this first episode.

"To ensure the ratings, the first episode of this show should be broadcast on the variety channel. Pick a weekend non-prime time slot to see the response!"

"The show is so popular that it will be aired every week during prime time!"

Liu Gang smiled, but Chen Jin blinked.

"Director Liu!"

Chen Jin suddenly laughed and said, "I seem to have some inspiration for the first episode. Perhaps, I can guarantee the ratings of our first episode!"

“Moreover, we can ask netizens on Internet platforms, such as Weibo, what poems they would like to see!”

Chen Jin was pointed out by Liu Gang.

Liu Gang laughed, and Zhang Xiaohai beside him also laughed: "I feel that your ideas for the first issue should coincide with each other!"

This is obvious.

"Teacher Tang Guoqiang!"

"Yep!"

"Ha ha!"

The three of them really thought of the same thing.

"When the first episode of "沁园春·雪" is recorded, you have to show up. Then we will invite teacher Tang Guoqiang to record the first episode, and you can have a transitional image with him!"

"Ok, Ok!"

Chen Jin actually thought so too.

"Director Liu, Director Zhang, please take a good look. If we count the statistics on Weibo, I'm sure the netizens will think the same way!"

"must!"

"So the ratings for our first episode are definitely guaranteed!"

With the help of Weibo statistics and the traffic generated by the Spring Festival Gala, "China in Poetry" has definitely attracted enough traffic before it is even aired. Moreover, it is only 2011, an era with a scarcity of variety shows. Such a cultural "drama + film and television" program is bound to explode the market.

The most important thing is that Chen Jin also thought of one thing, which neither Liu Gang nor Zhang Xiaohai would pay attention to.

"The Founding of a Party"!
If this first episode was released at the same time as "The Founding of a Party", it would definitely be very helpful in promoting the box office.

This needs to be reported to Han Sanpin, and he should take care of it.

“There’s a lot we can do with this show!”

"For example, Li Bai's "Song of the Wine" and Hua Mulan's "The Ballad of Mulan" are definitely something that children will love to read!"

"You can play other roles then, Li Bai?"

Liu Gang was joking, and Chen Jin waved his hand: "We'll talk about it later..."

"Anyway, there are so many Chinese poems. If it doesn't work out, we can always do the Book of Songs or Confucius later!"

"Yes!"

Chen Jin was somewhat impressed.

This may be more popular than "China in Classics".

As for classics, such as "The Book of Documents" and "Strategies of the Warring States", are not as widely circulated as poetry.

"By the way, Director, Director Liu, can I make a suggestion?"

Chen Jin suddenly thought of something.

"Say!"

At the moment, the two people's attitude towards Chen Jin is obviously just like one of their own. After all, if this program is successful, it will be a very good resume and reputation for CCTV and them.

It’s not as simple as just doing one season. Chinese poetry is so vast that even ten seasons wouldn’t be enough!

After so many years of accumulation, if the show hadn't been bad, how much fame could have been accumulated? !

"That is, can you give our actors from Beijing Film Academy and Beijing Arts Institute some opportunities?"

"Let them participate?"

"Of course, your acting skills must be good enough!"

Chen Jin still has to consider the school and classmates. This is definitely an opportunity.

But the prerequisite is that the acting skills must be up to standard.

"Ha ha!"

"I forgot that you are a student of Beijing Film Academy and Beijing Art University?"

"Don't worry, I will consider several domestic colleges and universities, as well as several drama theaters, because this column will definitely require a lot of actors and directors..."

"Must give priority!"

Since Zhang Xiaohai said so, Chen Jin hurriedly thanked him.

But in my heart I was thinking... Dean Zhang, I must give me another banner!

It’s a great channel for him to practice his performance!

If the actors at Beijing Film Academy continue to be so bad in the future, I will have nothing to say... When the time comes, don't blame Chen Jin for turning against you and give the resources to the Central Academy of Drama.
