The literary era since 1979

Chapter 307 Spring Festival Gala Creation Group

As soon as the seminar is over, there is a celebration party.

All the participants went to the restaurant of the Temple of Heaven Sports Hotel and arrived at lunch time.

Along the way, editors of film magazines such as Contemporary Film, China Screen, and Popular Film, as well as reporters from newspapers such as Literary Gazette and Guangming Daily, came one after another to bombard Fang Yan with various questions.

In particular, there is talk about the division into “five generations of directors”.

At the same time, it has also aroused heated debate and endless discussion among film critics, studio directors and other people in the film industry.

Even at the celebration banquet, everyone held up their glasses and discussed the basis of this generational distinction under the pretext of toasting.

Just like Li Yunlong was not satisfied with his military rank, many directors also care about their generation.

After all, it is a symbol of identity, indicating the director's qualifications, age, status, etc.

But for Zhang Yimou and his group of young directors who have just become the "fifth generation of directors", there is only more happiness, not the happiest thing.

"Teacher Fang, I toast to you!"

"And I!"

Huo Jianqi, Zhang Junzhao and others were blushing, and they were intoxicated even without the wine. They couldn't help laughing when they thought of the fifth generation directors.

After finishing the glass, Fang Yan suddenly noticed Gong Xing appearing behind him and turned around to look.

I saw that she was not alone, and standing next to her were Wang Feng, Deng Zaijun and Huang Yihe from CCTV.

Wang Feng said: "Teacher Fang, your remarks at the seminar just now were truly earth-shattering."

"It's just my humble opinion."

Fangyan waved his hand and said, "Strictly speaking, this generational division of Chinese directors is just a general concept, and there is no clear boundary."

Wang Feng said: "That's not the case. It still has certain value for scholars to study movies and audiences to understand movies."

Huang Yihe nodded in agreement, "And I very much agree with Mr. Fang's basis for classification. Each generation of film directors has some common features, and these features are the product of the combination of the times and their own style."

Fang Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "I didn't expect that you guys, who work in a TV station, would be so concerned about the film industry."

Deng Zaijun heard the hidden meaning and said directly: "The main reason we came here is for CCTV."

Seeing this "big sister" speak, Fangyan did not dare to neglect, "I would like to hear the details."

Huang Yihe said: "We hope that Teacher Fang can join this year's Spring Festival Gala creation team."

Fangyan was not surprised, "Spring Festival Gala Creation Team?"

Wang Feng said that in light of the lessons learned from the 83 Spring Festival Gala, CCTV will put in % of its effort this time.

Therefore, a special creation team for the 84 Spring Festival Gala was established.

He, the station director, is in charge, and Huang Yihe and Deng Zaijun serve as chief directors. It can be said that the director is equivalent to the commander of the Spring Festival Gala, and the creative team is equivalent to the general staff.

From the host, the program to the actors, almost everything has to be finalized by them, the creative team and the director before being submitted for review. But now, the entire creative team is still lacking an experienced chief planner.

"We all know it."

Deng Zaijun smiled and said, "The 83 Spring Festival Gala of Yanjing TV was able to present such a perfect effect, all thanks to your guidance."

"Well..."

Fangyan glanced at Gong Xian and said nothing.

Huang Yihe was anxious, mistakenly thinking that Yanjing TV had taken the lead over CCTV and invited Fang Yan to be a think tank.

Fang Yan said: "Not really. I haven't received an invitation from Yanjingtai yet."

"Then what is Mr. Fang still hesitating about?"

Wang Feng and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the thing I was most worried about did not happen!
If CCTV's Spring Festival Gala loses to Beijing TV again, it will be a huge shame! "I have a lot of things to do. I want to focus on my novel."

Fangyan declined, "It's better to leave the Spring Festival Gala to professionals like Wang Tai and Director Deng."

"Don't worry, Mr. Fang."

Huang Yihe said: "It won't take up much time. I just want you to give some ideas to the creative team and guide the program."

Wang Feng added that the creative team would hold a collective meeting and brainstorm in the restaurant of this sports hotel.

"When hosting a gala, especially a large-scale gala like the Spring Festival Gala, it is often easier to create than to innovate."

Fangyan looked left and right, "The difficulty lies in how to ensure that there is a breakthrough every time."

These words really touched the hearts of the three people.

"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't bother you."

Huang Yihe smiled bitterly: "I'm really at a loss. Up to now, we haven't decided what the theme of this year's Spring Festival Gala will be."

"So the station is preparing to brainstorm. In addition to us, the creative team also invited people from the film and television industry, folk art industry and other fields, such as Chen Peisi, Zhu Shimao, Jiang Kun, Ma Ji..."

Deng Zaijun looked at Gong Xing and asked, "I wonder if you are willing to host the CCTV Spring Festival Gala this year?"

Gong Xing obviously didn't expect this situation, "Me? But I've never been a host."

"It doesn't matter if you haven't done it before, you can learn."

Wang Feng smiled knowingly, "It was also the first time that Liu Xiaoqing and Zhu Shimao hosted Yanjing TV!"

Facing the gazes of Huang Yihe and others, Gong Xing was unsure and cast a questioning look at Fang Yan.

Fang Yan asked: "Why did Director Deng think of inviting her to be the host?"

"Our CCTV Spring Festival Gala is different from the Yanjing local TV station. It needs to be aimed at audiences across the country."

Deng Zaijun said: "We need to take care of both the north and the south, and Comrade Gong Xing's achievements in the film industry this year are obvious to all, such as "The Mountain, the Man, the Dog" and "Under the Bridge". No one is more suitable than her to host the Spring Festival Gala..."

Being praised in front of him, Gong Xing curled his lips.

Fang Yan said: "I have to say, Director Deng is really good at judging people. I think so too."

"Then Comrade Gong Xing, I wonder if you ..."

Without waiting for Huang Yihe to finish, Gong Xing said a little nervously that she needed a few days to consider, and that the matter also needed the consent of the Shanghai Film Studio, otherwise, she would not be able to be seconded to CCTV as a host.

"Then I have to think about it carefully."

Fangyan raised his glass and apologized.

"No problem, no problem. We will wait for your reply."

Wang Feng's eyes moved between the two of them.

Deng Zaijun reminded that if anyone is willing to join the creative team, in addition to calling, they can go directly to the restaurant of the Temple of Heaven Sports Hotel.

Five days later, the creative team will hold their first meeting, where members can get to know each other and discuss the content of the Spring Festival Gala.

"cheers."

Five people clinked their glasses, making a crisp sound.

Gong Xing took a sip, watched Wang Feng and the others leave, then immediately turned to look at Fang Yan.

But he had a smirk on his face, "How about it, Spring Festival Gala host, do you want to give it a try?"

"But they just said that each host has to perform a show, and I don't know what I should perform."

"How about singing a song?"
