This director lacks vision.

Chapter 340 Bai Mengyan: Hush!
None of the dancers had any objections to Jiang Yifeng's practice of raising gu poison.

On the contrary, they were all full of enthusiasm.

As top dancers, they are constantly being selected, competing, and vying from a young age.

I'm very used to this kind of situation.

Moreover, the Spring Festival Gala itself is a stage full of eliminations; many programs are prepared for a long time, but are ultimately rejected by the production team.

Moreover, this was the opening solo dance of the Spring Festival Gala.

It's normal for competition to be fierce on such a rare performance stage.

In fact, Jiang Yifeng had made arrangements for all 11 dancers.

The opening solo dance was actually recorded underwater; when the performance transitioned to the live stage and the dancers were suspended by wires, it became a group dance.

All 11 people will be present at that time.

After all, the Spring Festival Gala stage is very large, and a solo dance would appear too empty, resulting in a poor visual effect.

Moreover, since it's just underwater dancing, there's no need to train this group of people together for several months.

They also have to practice the aerial dance performed by wires.

Jiang Yifeng didn't mention these things. Instead, he first put the 11 dancers into a "breeding environment" to compete with each other and bring out their best performance.

So far, the results have been quite good. After Jiang Yifeng finished speaking, the dancers were all in high spirits.

Tang Shiyi and Li Yiran, especially in the middle, looked determined to win.

Jiang Yifeng nodded and immediately began working.

The staff set up the filming equipment, and the dancers put on their costumes, adjusted their breathing and weights, and then went into the water to dance.

Before Jiang Yifeng arrived, Mu Di had already explained the concept of underwater flying dance to them, and these dancers had actually practiced it for a few days.

They are all top dancers; they can not only dance, but also choreograph very well.

Once underwater, aside from still being somewhat unaccustomed to the underwater environment, her dance moves were already quite graceful.

Jiang Yifeng watched the underwater footage through a camera from the shore, making real-time assessments and adjustments.

He had seen underwater flying dance in his previous life, and with his talent for composition and representation, he had a relatively clear idea of ​​the dance moves and visuals he wanted.

Jiang Yifeng came today to tell these dancers his requirements and let them know the direction of their training.

Of course, he didn't rule out any possibility.

After all, these dancers are professionals with strong creativity, so they might have some good ideas and concepts.

In addition, Jiang Yifeng also asked Mayuko Lou Fujiki, the head coach of the synchronized swimming team, for help to see if he could combine the postures and movements of synchronized swimming to give underwater dance more innovation.

Sure enough, the dancers surprised Jiang Yifeng with a number of creative ideas.

Tang Shiyi and Li Yiran, in particular, have actually started a collaboration!
Performing movements underwater is quite difficult for one person, but when two people work together, they can use the momentum of throwing and catching to achieve more dance moves.

Seeing the two beauties, Tang and Li, "leap into the air" underwater, their clothes fluttering like immortals, Jiang Yifeng instantly thought of Zhang Aoyue and Jin Chen's underwater dance performance after underwater dance became popular in the future.

Although the color palette and visuals are not as striking as He Nantai's underwater dance, Zhang Aoyue and Jin Chen's collaboration is indeed superior in terms of the performance of movements and postures.

This is the stage for the Spring Festival Gala.

Those who are able to perform on stage are mostly among the most outstanding artists in the country.

In previous years, the Spring Festival Gala directors would select the programs.

Jiang Yifeng has been quite involved this year, creating many themed programs.

Even so, he doesn't need to spend too much effort; as long as he gives out the task, these professionals will naturally be able to complete the task as required.

He comes regularly to check on the progress and make sure the overall direction is correct.

After the first rehearsal, Jiang Yifeng specifically praised Tang Shiyi and Li Yiran.

This encouraged Tang Shiyi.

This collaboration with Li Yiran was her idea.

After watching the finale of Produce 101 Season 2 and being inspired by Chen Duling, Tang Shiyi strengthened her resolve and decided to pursue a career as a professional dancer.

She has a very positive mindset now, and has voluntarily given up the concept of a solo dance in order to collaborate with Li Yiran for a better dance effect.

Seeing that Jiang Yifeng was very satisfied, Tang Shiyi said, "President Jiang, I actually think that underwater dance could also incorporate male dancers, integrate Chinese kung fu culture, or incorporate female warriors from traditional Chinese opera. It should create a very good chemical reaction."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Jiang Yifeng gave Tang Shiyi a thumbs up and said, "Your idea is very good, but I have already finalized the program framework for the Spring Festival Gala, so there is no need to add other elements for the time being."

However, you can further develop these ideas after the Spring Festival Gala performance.

At this point, Jiang Yifeng looked at the other dancers and said, "You can also create different underwater dances and try performing on various stages."

Jiang Yifeng is very confident that underwater dance will definitely become a hit after this year's Spring Festival Gala airs.

These dancers who have participated in the Spring Festival Gala will receive many performance opportunities as a result.

As for Tang Shiyi's suggestion, many people have already tried it, and the results have been quite good.

However, Jiang Yifeng's Spring Festival Gala program framework was already set.

The underwater flying dance is performed by female dancers and is part of the same program as the later shows "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" and "Chang'e Flying to the Moon".

The male dancers perform a dance drama featuring galloping horses and the Three Gorges, which is another segment.

Moreover, the beauty of the underwater flying dance lies in the colorful costumes and the dreamlike scene created by the changing light and shadow on the water.

Adding elements of traditional opera or kung fu could easily overshadow the main content and distract the audience.

You can't try to have everything in a work; otherwise, it will just become a hodgepodge.

Jiang Yifeng was well aware of this.

Tang Shiyi's suggestion was rejected, but Jiang Yifeng still praised her.

This made her very happy and confirmed that Jiang Yifeng really didn't "hold a grudge" against her, and that what happened in the first season of Produce 101 wasn't a big deal.

So at lunchtime, Tang Shiyi took the initiative to sit next to Jiang Yifeng, using the first season of Produce 101 as a topic, and chattered on and on.

The other dancers were envious and nervous when they saw this.

In their view, Tang Shiyi's dancing ability is already formidable, and she is also an old acquaintance of Jiang Yifeng, so she has the greatest chance of getting a solo dance.

Some people started to come up with solutions, but Jiang Yifeng didn't think that far ahead.

After finishing his meal, he spoke a few more words to Mu Di and then prepared to leave.

Jiang Yifeng has a lot on his plate. The post-production of "Lost in Thailand" isn't finished yet, and he'll be starting filming "The Witch" next month. He also has other programs to work on for the Spring Festival Gala.

He is now in Zhang Yimou's working mode.

Zhang Yimou once combined "Curse of the Golden Flower" with the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.

He was also very bold this year. While preparing to film the Sino-US co-production blockbuster "The Great Wall", he also collaborated with his old flame Gong Li to film an art film called "Coming Home".

In this way, Zhang Yi also produced landscape dramas such as "Impression Wulong", directed a Peking Opera, served as the director of the Winter Olympics promotional video, and has been in litigation with Zhang Weiping.

Despite being so busy, he also had quite a few children.

The topic of Zhang Yimou having more children than allowed and the seven Calabash Brothers is one of the hottest entertainment news stories this year.

It has to be said that Zhang Yimou's energy is truly phenomenal.

Jiang Yifeng was about to leave when he unexpectedly encountered the "China Star Jump" program being filmed while passing through a closed area.

This episode marks Bai Mengyan's variety show debut with Fengxing Media.

Jiang Yifeng thought for a moment, then went inside to observe the situation. They were currently filming the swimsuit fashion show segment, one of the show's selling points, so they always came up with some creative ideas each episode.

Li Xiaoran walked out wearing a sexy three-piece swimsuit. Her pale skin, deep cleavage, and trembling steps caused a stir among the crowd.

Wang Ou, on the other hand, tried a new trick: he wore a one-piece swimsuit underneath a long shirt, which not only created a see-through effect but also showed off his long legs, drawing cheers from the crowd.

It has to be said, these two beauties are truly something special.

No wonder their popularity soared after "Star Jump" aired, and they gained many more fans.

Following the two regular guests, Li Xiaoran and Wang Ou, came today's guest, Yang Ying.

Baby's movie, Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon, is about to be released, and she came to participate in the program to promote the movie.

Although Fengxing Media and Huayi Brothers are competitors, Fengxing Media will not refuse if Huayi Brothers provides funds to promote the film.

Moreover, the company's variety show department and film and television department have their own KPI assessments.

This is similar to how Huayi advertises on Sohu Weibo and Sohu Video, and Sohu doesn't object.

There will definitely be bias, but we should still make the money we deserve.

Yang Ying wore a standard one-piece swimsuit. It was clear that she was trying hard to pad her swimsuit, but she still didn't have much skill. Her figure was indeed rather average.

Fortunately, she was undeniably beautiful, and her radiant smile drew applause and whistles from the crowd, a sign of their welcome.

Following Yang Ying was the new guest, Bai Mengyan.

Jiang Yifeng was still wondering what swimsuit Bai Mengyan would wear.

She has a pretty good figure, with a B+ bust size. Even with padding and squeezing, it's still quite noticeable.

Unexpectedly, Bai Mengyan took the path of evil cultivation and came out wearing a swimsuit in the colors of a Northeastern Chinese floral print.

The room fell silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Jiang Yifeng burst out laughing.

Bai Mengyan is truly a talent!
This swimsuit with its distinctive Northeastern floral print is actually quite sexy, but on Bai Mengyan, it just looks ridiculous.

Halfway through the fashion show, Bai Mengyan couldn't hold back her laughter and burst into laughter on stage.

This made everyone laugh even harder.

It has to be said, Bai Mengyan is quite something.

Especially when the male guests came on stage next, Bai Mengyan played the role of a lecherous woman, imitating others by whistling as a sign of respect.

As a result, while everyone else whistled loudly, it wasn't the same when she whistled.

She pouted, hesitated for a moment, and then opened her mouth and said, "Shh!"

The shushing remark amused Jiang Yifeng, who hadn't expected Bai Mengyan's iconic scene from Running Man to appear so soon.

Funny girls are still interesting.

Bai Mengyan's addition brought a lot of joy to the show.

She made quite a few more jokes, especially when playing the mini-games later on.

Although it seemed like he was making a fool of himself, he actually stole a lot of the spotlight.

Even the most popular baby was overshadowed by Bai Mengyan.

This was actually a favor from the production team.

After all, Bai Mengyan was personally introduced by Jiang Yifeng, so Chen Gezhou would naturally take her seriously.

Bai Mengyan lost the competition and had to accept the punishment: she had to complete a courageous leap from the 10-meter platform.

A height of 10 meters is the height you see when you stand on the 4th floor.

It really takes courage to dive from that height; most people would get nervous once they get on the diving platform.

Moreover, 10-meter platform diving is indeed dangerous, and even with professional guidance from the diving team, caution is still necessary.

Bai Mengyan was very defiant when she was down there, saying she felt no pressure at all, but once she stood on the diving platform, her legs went weak and she didn't dare to jump at all.

She was trying to mentally prepare herself when her gaze suddenly fell on Jiang Yifeng on the sidelines.

Bai Mengyan's eyes lit up, and she jogged off the diving platform, running all the way to Jiang Yifeng's side: "President Jiang, will you jump with me?"

Jiang Yifeng: "..."

Jiang Yifeng wanted to refuse, but Bai Mengyan hugged him tightly, and many people at the scene started to egg him on.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yifeng decided to join in and give it a try.

He hasn't tried diving from a 10-meter platform yet.

Five minutes later, Jiang Yifeng came out wearing swimming trunks and a swimming cap.

Many female staff members on site were swallowing hard, not only because Jiang Yifeng had a good physique, but also because of the large bulge in his swim trunks.

Bai Mengyan made a peace sign, then hugged Jiang Yifeng and completed the high dive.

Jiang Yifeng, accompanied by a beautiful woman, jumped into the water without any fancy moves, easily making his way in.

Seeing Bai Mengyan laughing so hard her throat was practically bulging, Li Xiaoran and Wang Ou, not wanting to be left behind, also pestered Jiang Yifeng to dance along.

The little one also mustered up the courage to make a request.

Jiang Yifeng had no choice but to apologize to Huang Xiaoming and then started playing with his precious baby while diving.

You know what, jumping into the water while holding a beautiful woman is actually quite interesting.

Some people will get nervous and hug even tighter, pressing themselves completely together; others will scream with excitement and have all sorts of wonderful reactions.

Big Baby is amazing. Before she even started dancing, she seemed scared and clung to Jiang Yifeng like an octopus.

Jiang Yifeng carried her step by step toward the diving platform. The scene was a bit obscene, and there was a lot of laughter from the audience.

I wonder if Huang Xiaoming will be even more excited after the show airs.

In the end, Tang Shiyi and others who were practicing dance next door also came over and started diving with Jiang Yifeng.

This marks the successful interaction between Huaguo Xingjuan and the Spring Festival Gala production team.

Jiang Yifeng also had a lot of fun; the feeling of holding these top dancers was quite different.

The recording of the program came to an end around 6 p.m.

Bai Mengyan wanted to chat with Jiang Yifeng and express her gratitude.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yifeng disappeared.

Besides Jiang Yifeng, Li Xiaoran and Wang Ou are also missing.

Bai Mengyan searched everywhere and finally found Jiang Yifeng's assistant, Li Xia, outside a changing room.

Just as Bai Mengyan was about to speak, she saw Li Xia raise her index finger and shush her.

This was both a way of telling Bai Mengyan to be quiet and a way of teasing her for whistling in the afternoon.

Bai Mengyan had nothing to say. She knew she was inexperienced and arrived late, having been beaten to it by Li Xiaoran and Wang Ou.

She dried her hair and prepared to leave when she saw Yang Ying walking over.

So she stepped forward and said to Yang Ying, "Shh!"

Yang Ying: "???"
