Full-time actor

The song is over.

Chen Yu subconsciously looked at the staff outside the recording studio.

Everyone's faces showed appreciation and approval.

It's important to know that there are strict regulations regarding the subject matter of programs on the Spring Festival Gala.

Songs about love and romance are generally rejected during the initial review process.

but--

Chen Yu's poem "Because of Love" was highly praised by everyone.

Putting aside the influence of the award-winning actors and actresses, the lyrics of this song are delicate and the melody is soothing and beautiful.

In particular, it complements the core theme of the Spring Festival Gala.

The warmth and nostalgia expressed in the song perfectly match the main theme of "family reunion" in the Spring Festival Gala.

It will definitely be selected.

Next, the staff will hand it over to CCTV.

As for Chen Yu and Liu Yifei, they just need to wait for the rehearsal.

In fact, the two were already a tacit agreement.

The Spring Festival Gala also needs viewership ratings, and such a handsome man and beautiful woman pairing is a feast for the eyes just by standing on stage.

……

Meanwhile, CCTV...

Everyone is busy preparing for the Spring Festival Gala.

Chen Linchun received the demo submitted by Chen Yu. Being able to invite this internationally renowned superstar was enough to put Chen Linchun at ease.

last year.

Chen Yu managed to keep Jin Yue's ratings.

Precisely.

Wherever Chen Yu is, even if he's just standing on the stage, people will still pay for his services.

In any case, this year's viewership ratings are definitely secure.

As for Chen Linchun...

In his previous life, he personally directed the CCTV Spring Festival Gala three times.

As a veteran and evergreen member of the Spring Festival Gala, he has definitely been deeply involved in the creation of the Gala for a long time.

In addition to serving as the chief director, he also served as the director and assistant director of the comedy sketches for the Spring Festival Gala.

All programs undergo review and refinement.

"Hai Zi, a song performed by Chen Yu for the Spring Festival Gala."

"Want to hear it now?"

Zhang Xiaohai and Chen Linchun are both senior directors at CCTV and are among the key figures in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

In his previous life, he personally directed four CCTV Spring Festival Galas.

These are 1989, 1996, 2000, and this year.

He and several other directors can be said to have ushered in a golden age.

In comparison, Zhang Xiaohai's record is more impressive.

Besides serving as the chief director, he also has another very important role.

—Deputy Director of the Arts and Entertainment Center of China Central Television (CCTV).

This is enough to demonstrate its influence on the Spring Festival Gala.

This time, I was able to serve as the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala.

It can be said that they overcame all obstacles along the way.

Together they defeated Wang Bingsen, the director of the Department of Arts, Drama and Music.

Ultimately, their proposal was approved, giving them the opportunity to collaborate.

After hearing Chen Linchun's words, Zhang Xiaohai's eyes showed a hint of interest.

He had already heard that Chen Yu's song this time was an original composition.

As a contestant with considerable achievements in film and television, it was unexpected that he would also have some involvement in music.

After Chen Linchun contacted Chen Yu, Zhang Xiaohai had already gained a general understanding of Chen Yu.

Last year's "When You Are Old" definitely caused a sensation.

The hype at the time directly propelled CCTV's Spring Festival Gala to its peak viewership.

The average viewership has reached 57.6%.

After learning of the outcome, the two of them were no longer under any pressure.

There is such a large Buddha statue.

Why would they be afraid of low ratings?
"Listen!"

These two men, both nearing 60, got together and seemed quite excited about the song.

They had already made their choice.

Regardless of the song's quality, it will definitely be approved.

He casually pressed the play button, and a mellow voice gradually entered their ears.

The song is over.

"..."

Their eyes met.

The appreciation in their eyes was already overflowing.

Yes, this song is indeed good.

The fact that both of them are getting old is actually a very high compliment.

This song has already transcended the boundaries of being good or bad.

It's a classic song, and aside from the amazing duo's combination, the song's nostalgic and heartwarming tone is perfectly suited to the Spring Festival.

Especially the two actors' heartfelt performances.

It's absolutely stunning.

Upon hearing this song, images immediately appeared in Chen Linchun and Zhang Xiaohai's minds.

"It is indeed a good song."

Zhang Xiaohai was the first to give his affirmation.

He took all the factors into consideration, and the song "Because of Love" absolutely conforms to traditional aesthetics.

The song's artistic value and popularity are undeniable.

The two performing together, along with their original songs, will definitely generate more buzz.

"Let's move on to the next step."

The content has undergone a comprehensive evaluation, and the review committee approved it almost unanimously.

As for what comes next—

It refers to stage design and rehearsals.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei need to practice a few more times during this period.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei had just arrived home when they received a call from Chen Linchun.

Normally, the handover of work is done with the agent.

However, Chen Linchun is quite interested in getting to know the current hottest celebrities in the entertainment industry.

"Chen Yu!"

"The station is very satisfied with your original duet song!"

"I'm calling to inform you that this program has been officially confirmed."

Chen Yu did not react much after hearing Chen Linchun's words.

He was confident about this matter.

"Thank you, Director Chen."

"Young man, I have high hopes for you."

"The song 'Because of Love' fits the tone of the Spring Festival Gala perfectly, especially the part where you sang with Yifei, which was absolutely a highlight."

He was being praised by the person on the other end of the phone.

Liu Yifei gently bit her lower lip, clearly in a good mood.

"You two should have no major problems with rehearsals."

"However, you may need to practice more in the next few days for the sake of the stage."

"Please make some time for us!"

After Chen Yu responded, the two hung up the phone.

Looks like we're going to be pretty busy from now on!

Liu Yifei nestled in Chen Yu's arms, her eyes shining as she looked at the person in front of her.

"You can practice more these nights."

Chen Yu whispered in Liu Yifei's ear, and after hearing what he said, Liu Yifei immediately reached out and pinched the tender flesh on Chen Yu's waist.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"Your husband took you to the Spring Festival Gala, and this is your attitude?"

Liu Yifei glared at the person in front of her.

"Eat my punch!"

The two started wrestling on the sofa, with Liu Yifei even tickling Chen Yu's sensitive spots.

"Cough-cough-"

I heard Liu Xiaoli coughing behind me.

Seeing the latter looking helpless as they played around, Liu Yifei obediently got off Chen Yu.

Full of wine and food.

As for what comes next, they are embarking on a new journey.

Practice singing! Practice singing! Practice singing!

***
Before we knew it, another Spring Festival was approaching.

With the two practicing singing day and night, the pre-sales for the Spring Festival film season have officially begun!

Chen Yu no longer needs to hold premiere galas like in previous years; he only needs to focus on publicity and distribution. And this year's Spring Festival film season can be described as the biggest ever.

After Chen Yu successfully spearheaded the Spring Festival Gala for two consecutive years, it's clear that film companies are getting restless and have moved their films originally slated for the Lunar New Year release to the Spring Festival.

The Forbidden Kingdom, Bruce Lee, Kung Fu Dunk, CJ7!
Four films, all firing on all cylinders.

No one would dare to release a film during this period without confidence and box office appeal.

The Spring Festival film season has now become a fiercely contested battleground, featuring blockbusters with strong casts and directors.

It has to be said that this is definitely the Spring Festival film season that the whole nation is most concerned about.

This time, the contestants are absolutely unprecedented.

Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chen Yu, Stephen Chow, and Zhou Jielun.

Any one of them, if picked out at random, would be enough to shake the entire film industry.

Before pre-sales begin.

People have already started speculating about the outcome.

Who will be the ultimate winner?

Jackie Chan and Jet Li are definitely everyone's idols.

However, some people may not think that he can really suppress Chen Yu.

Although both of them have a lot of fans.

However, compared to others, Chen Yu's current influence is still somewhat lacking.

of course.

If the two of them team up, that's another story.

After all, many people are wondering who will become the ultimate kung fu king between the two Js?

As for bi-weekly...

The influence of Stephen Chow and Jay Chou is also undeniable.

As a result, the current situation makes it difficult for everyone to make a choice.

They all liked each other very much, so it was really impossible to determine a winner.

This topic has sparked heated discussions online.

"This is such a tough choice! But I'll definitely support Stephen Chow first, since I've been a fan of his since I was a kid."

"Please! When in this lifetime will I ever have the chance to see the two Js fight each other?"

"Only children make choices; I support them all!"

"In my personal opinion, the box office champion this year will definitely be 'Bruce Lee'."

"That's right, Brother Yu is definitely the dark horse!"

"Not necessarily. I feel that Double J and Double Chow are equally matched with him!"

"..."

Everyone has their own opinion.

In an instant, a fierce storm swept across the internet.

2008 2 Month 1 Day.

Pre-sales for the Spring Festival films will begin seven days in advance.

At 8 a.m. that day, people could go to the cinema to pre-purchase tickets.

7 points.

All the "contestants" in this year's Spring Festival film season are already feeling extremely uneasy.

They were eager to know who would be the ultimate winner this time.

Yu Dong's fingers tapped unconsciously on the table.

Next, he will be in charge of compiling the pre-sale statistics for this morning.

Time passed second by second, the hands of the clock striking his heart with the marks of time.

Once the pre-sales begin, he will need to confirm the morning's pre-sales status with each cinema.

Inside the villa.

Chen Yu was also waiting, which had become the focus of everyone's attention.

Not only him, but the Huayi brothers are probably in a state of panic.

tick-tock-

Pre-sales have been underway for some time now.

Now is the time to wait for the answer.

As Chen Yu was pondering, a comb suddenly appeared in front of him.

Liu Yifei stared at the person in front of her with a serious expression.

"Mr. Chen Yu, how are you feeling now that the pre-sale has started?"

Liu Yifei's sudden action left him both amused and exasperated.

"Am looking forward to."

Liu Yifei was clearly dissatisfied with Chen Yu's answer.

"That's it?"

"The answer was far too perfunctory."

Only in private does Liu Yifei reveal her childlike side.

"I'm so, so excited!"

"I dare not imagine what a lively scene this year's Spring Festival film season will be."

Jingle Bell--

Just as Chen Yu was about to speak, the phone rang at that opportune moment.

Liu Yifei's eyes widened instantly.

Naturally, I know what the purpose of this phone call at this time is.
as predicted.

It's Yu Dong.

Chen Yu glanced at the time and realized that it was already noon.

The call is connected.

The next second, Yu Dong's shrill voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother Yu, take it down!"

"We've taken it!"

"You're amazing!"

Chen Yu had the phone on speakerphone, and Liu Yifei, who had been eagerly waiting nearby, was naturally aware of the situation.

"Ah."

How are the pre-sales going?

Upon hearing Chen Yu's question, Yu Dong calmed down.

"Bruce Lee is number one!"

"As of now, it's around 1200 million."

"Pre-sales are more than double those of the Kung Fu King!"

"1200 million? My God, that's outrageous!"

"?"

Liu Yifei's eyes widened in shock, and she was speechless.

I heard the report from the person on the other end of the phone.

Chen Yu has basically determined the general direction.

"The Forbidden Kingdom is currently leading Stephen Chow's CJ7 by a narrow margin."

As for Jay Chou—

"It's a bit of a shame that 'Kung Fu Dunk' is at the bottom."

"Currently, pre-sales are only slightly over 200 million."

"The pre-sales this morning have already reached around 3000 million."

Chen Yu nodded.

This morning alone, they've already made nearly 3000 million yuan at the box office. This year's Spring Festival film season is truly a battle of titans, a fierce and brutal competition!
As for Liu Yifei standing to the side, she had long forgotten to breathe.

This is incredibly popular!
More than 3000 million?

It's only been one morning, and this is only the first day.

It's amazing that such results were achieved.

Keep in mind, this is an offline pre-sale.

They achieved such great results even before online ticketing was available.

They all did it out of love, spontaneously going to the vicinity of the cinema to buy things.

Yu Dong's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

He expected Chen Yu to win first place, but he didn't expect the pre-sale results to completely crush the other three works.

Is this right?
This is really crazy!

Chen Yu hung up the phone. Having already learned about the current pre-sale situation, there was no need for him to continue listening to Yu Dong's rambling.

I noticed that Chen Yu hung up the phone.

Liu Yifei pounced on him and pressed her lips hard against Chen Yu's.

"Honey, you're so amazing!"

Liu Yifei's excitement was clearly no less than Yu Dong's.

He patted the person on his body.

Chen Yu's emotions were also somewhat fluctuating.

This time, it was his moment to truly prove his strength. Originally, everyone online was saying that although Chen Yu was powerful, he was no match for the two Js or Stephen Chow. Now... that's a complete revelation.

Fans of each group can obviously go to bed now.

Regardless of whether they were doing it out of love or not, the Bruce Lee movie is definitely a sure thing in terms of its success.

At least in terms of pre-sales, it has already become the leader, and this trend should continue until the first day of the Lunar New Year unless there are major changes! (End of Chapter)
