This top celebrity got drunk and acted crazy, and everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry bur

"I object!"

Upon hearing Feng Xiaogang's words, Old Zheng looked astonished, completely unexpected that Feng Xiaogang would announce such a result. Then, as if remembering something, he immediately stood up and loudly objected.

Old Zheng thought that after so many days, Feng Xiaogang should have given up on Lü Ming. After all, in such a short time, it was absolutely impossible for Lü Ming to produce a work that was no less excellent than "Ode to Young China". But to his surprise, this person was so persistent.

It's worth noting that "Ode to Young China" was definitely one of the most popular songs in the second half of this year, with its popularity far exceeding that of ordinary songs.

Although not many of them are actually in the music industry, most of them are involved in the entertainment industry or have some understanding of it. Therefore, they know how rare it is to produce an excellent work like "Ode to Young China," a hit that might not appear for even a year or several years.

But now Lü Ming says he will bring a new work to the Spring Festival Gala that is no less than "Ode to Young China". Isn't that a joke?
Old Zheng wasn't skeptical of Lü Ming's talent; after all, this guy's talent was unquestionable not only in the entertainment industry but also among ordinary netizens.

If Lu Ming were to say that he was spending several months creating a new song that was no less than "Ode to Young China," then Lao Zheng would have no doubt whatsoever.

But now Lü Ming says it will take a few days.

Just before coming here for the meeting, Lao Zheng received news that Lü Ming had submitted his new song, which is no less than "Ode to Young China," to the Spring Festival Gala program team, and it is currently under review by the Spring Festival Gala program team and Feng Xiaogang.

It's only been a few days!

Old Zheng had no doubt whatsoever, believing that Lü Ming must have known he couldn't fulfill the boast he had made and had simply submitted a random work to fill the gap.

Are you trying to fill in the gaps with some random piece of music?
Perhaps it could fool Feng Xiaogang, since Feng Xiaogang doesn't know much about music.

However, the people in charge of the music group were all just pretenders. Among them were not only professional music composers, but also experts and teachers from professional music academies. The leader, Peng Xiao, was even a famous musician. It was wishful thinking to try to deceive these people.

So, in Lao Zheng's opinion, Feng Xiaogang probably called them to a meeting to tell them that Lü Ming's matter had fallen through and to let them proceed according to the original plan.

But Lao Zheng never expected that Feng Xiaogang would so 'arbitrarily' announce that Lü Ming would be selected for this year's Spring Festival Gala, and even replace Wu Qian and Li Changfeng's song duet program without consulting them.

This is not the outcome Lao Zheng wanted to see.

It's worth noting that the company behind Wu Qian and Li Changfeng has put in a lot of effort to keep their song duet program going, especially Lao Zheng, who recommended and selected them, has become the focus of their public relations efforts.

Old Zheng had already felt that this was not much of a surprise, so he accepted a lot of "red envelopes" from them and assured them that he would definitely be able to keep their show.

If Wu Qian and Li Changfeng's program were to be replaced now, their respective companies would definitely not turn a blind eye.

Regardless of holding him accountable, if all that money is taken back, he probably won't be able to work in the entertainment industry anymore.

So after hearing Feng Xiaogang's decision, even though she knew that standing up to oppose it would offend Feng Xiaogang, she still stood up.

"This isn't your opinion, Director, but I don't have much confidence in Lü Ming's new song. I don't think it will be better than 'Ode to Young China'!"

"We're the Spring Festival Gala, isn't this a bit too arbitrary?"

Seeing the somewhat dissatisfied look on Feng Xiaogang's face, Lao Zheng couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he still stubbornly gave his own 'explanation'.

"I've already looked into Lü Ming's new song, and I know its quality!"

"You don't need to question me!"

Feng Xiaogang looked at the guy in front of him with dissatisfaction, but he knew exactly what they were up to.

It's just because they took money from Wu Qian and Li Changfeng in order to keep their show going.

Normally, Feng Xiaogang might not have cared at all. After all, such things are very common in the Spring Festival Gala or other galas, and they are impossible to prevent. In fact, when Feng Xiaogang became the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala program, he received a lot of "plea" and "public relations" requests.

As long as it doesn't affect the overall Spring Festival Gala program schedule, then a little consideration for Feng Xiaogang is understandable.

However, Feng Xiaogang would absolutely not agree to let this personal whim affect the entire Spring Festival Gala program.

It's important to understand that taking on the role of chief director of the Spring Festival Gala was an extremely challenging task for Feng Xiaogang, and he couldn't afford to have any problems.

"If you still have any objections, you can submit your resignation letter yourself, and I will absolutely not object!"

Seeing that this guy was still a bit persistent and wanted to say something more, Feng Xiaogang was too lazy to explain anything to him and directly gave him instructions.

Upon hearing Feng Xiaogang's words, Lao Zheng immediately fell silent.

It's important to understand that his role as a member of the Spring Festival Gala directing team is equally important to him, and he would never give up his position as a member of the Spring Festival Gala directing team for the sake of Wu Qian and Li Changfeng's program.

If we can change Feng Xiaogang's mind, that would be the best outcome; if we can't, then we'll just have to let it go.

At worst, they could just return the money they received from Wu Qian and Li Changfeng. Although it might offend some people, at least they wouldn't be kicked out of the Spring Festival Gala production team.

If he were kicked out of the Spring Festival Gala production team, his future would be completely ruined.

Seeing Feng Xiaogang's attitude, the others nearby naturally didn't say anything more.

In any case, whether Wu Qian or Li Changfeng were selected or replaced had little to do with them.

After seeing that the members of the directing team were no longer saying anything, Feng Xiaogang quickly took the newly produced Spring Festival Gala program and walked towards the conference room for senior leaders of the Central Radio and Television Station.

Long before calling these members of the Spring Festival Gala directing team to a meeting, Feng Xiaogang had already arranged for someone to inform the senior leaders of CCTV that he would be submitting a new Spring Festival Gala program list later.

When Feng Xiaogang arrived at the conference room, there were already six or seven people sitting inside.

"Good leadership!"

After Feng Xiaogang pushed open the door, he looked at the people in the conference room, especially the one in the lead, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that this big leader would also come.

"Director Feng is here!"

Upon seeing Feng Xiaogang enter the conference room, the leaders who had been chatting quickly fell silent, looking at him intently. "Distinguished leaders," Feng Xiaogang said, "this is the program list for the Spring Festival Gala that our directing team has just finalized!"

Feng Xiaogang didn't say much. He quickly handed the newly printed Spring Festival Gala program list to the leaders in the conference room and said, "There is only one change compared to the list we submitted last time. We changed one singing program, replacing the duet by Wu Qian and Li Changfeng with a solo by Lü Ming!"

"Lü Ming?"

Upon hearing Feng Xiaogang's words, a leader sitting to the side flashed a hint of displeasure on his face and said, "Are you, the production team, really going to agree to his unreasonable demands?"

To be honest, the official authorities are very satisfied with Lü Ming's performance on various occasions this year. Even state media have stepped in to support him. This is why these leaders were willing to forcibly suppress the approval of Feng Xiaogang's Spring Festival Gala program list in order to have Feng Xiaogang invite Lü Ming.

However, after learning about the conditions that Lü Ming had proposed to Feng Xiaogang last time, many leaders felt a sense of dissatisfaction towards Lü Ming.

In their view, it was an immense honor for Lü Ming that they were able to invite him to the Spring Festival Gala.

Lü Ming should have felt honored and accepted their invitation to the Spring Festival Gala without hesitation.

However, to their surprise, after receiving their invitation, Lü Ming did not agree without hesitation as they had imagined. Instead, he made a series of unreasonable demands.

You have to understand, this is the Spring Festival Gala!

This is not some low-class, unrefined party!

Even the top celebrities in the entertainment industry treat their invitations with utmost respect and dare not make any demands.

However, Lü Ming proposed not to participate in the previous selections and the first few rehearsals, but only to participate in the final rehearsal.

In the eyes of some leaders, Lü Ming was completely acting like a diva, and he was even acting like a diva towards their Spring Festival Gala production team.

Although Lü Ming proposed to sing a new song on the Spring Festival Gala that is no less than "Ode to Young China," it is nothing to the Spring Festival Gala production team.

"Ok!"

Upon hearing the leader's question, Feng Xiaogang nodded without hesitation.

For Feng Xiaogang, this was a choice that required absolutely no thought.

At the very beginning, Feng Xiaogang might have hesitated. Even if Lü Ming were to perform "Ode to Young China" on stage, Feng Xiaogang might not have agreed.

But now, after listening to the new song that Lü Ming had just submitted, Feng Xiaogang had no more hesitation.

This song is absolutely fantastic, and most importantly, it's perfect for the Spring Festival Gala stage.

In Feng Xiaogang's view, if Lü Ming were to sing that song on the Spring Festival Gala stage, its influence would likely be much stronger than that of "Ode to Young China".

It's worth noting that although the song "Ode to Young China" was very popular and was performed on the well-known variety show "Asian King," it was incomparable to the Spring Festival Gala in terms of viewership and ratings.

Even if Hunan TV's "Asian King" program set a new viewership record for variety shows, it only had a maximum of tens of millions of viewers.

But the Spring Festival Gala is different. Although its viewership has been declining in recent years, it still had nearly a billion viewers at its lowest point. Its influence is on a completely different level.

"How can this be!"

"If we accept his demands, where will our Spring Festival Gala production team put our face?"

The leader who spoke was taken aback, not expecting that Feng Xiaogang would accept Lü Ming's conditions.

It's worth noting that they had been the ones hoping to invite Lü Ming to the Spring Festival Gala, but Feng Xiaogang wasn't very interested and was even somewhat dissatisfied.

They originally intended to go with the flow and simply comply with Feng Xiaogang's wishes. However, in just a few days, Feng Xiaogang's attitude underwent a complete reversal, like a train making a U-turn.

It's not that they're forcing Feng Xiaogang to invite Lü Ming; on the contrary, it's Feng Xiaogang who's taking the initiative to invite Lü Ming.

Moreover, judging from Feng Xiaogang's arrangement for Lü Ming, it is clear that Lü Ming has been placed in a very important position.

"Don't worry!"

"Director Feng, it seems that young Lü gave you a pretty good song!"

At this moment, the senior leader sitting at the head of the table waved his hand at the leader who had spoken out in dissatisfaction, and then, as if he had seen something, smiled and said to Feng Xiaogang.

The bet between Lü Ming and Feng Xiaogang was known not only to the Spring Festival Gala directing team, but also to the leaders.

However, just like the members of the Spring Festival Gala directing team, these leaders also believed that it was impossible for Lü Ming to come up with a new song that was no less than "Ode to Young China" in just a few days.

But judging from Feng Xiaogang's current demeanor, his attitude has clearly changed significantly.

Then there's only one possibility!

That is, Lü Ming did indeed produce a song, and Feng Xiaogang was very satisfied with this new song. Otherwise, given Feng Xiaogang's previous attitude towards Lü Ming, he would never have acted this way.

"how to say?"

Feng Xiaogang nodded, then, as if savoring something, said with a touch of emotion, "To be honest, I didn't expect him to come up with such a good song. In fact, in my opinion, this song is much better than the one he mentioned, 'Ode to Young China,' especially for our Spring Festival Gala stage."

Ok?
Upon hearing Feng Xiaogang's words, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the high-ranking leader sitting at the head of the table, wondering what kind of song could evoke such a reaction from Feng Xiaogang.

It's important to know that "Ode to Young China" is no ordinary song. Its popularity alone has surpassed many other songs this year, and it has even been used as background music for many positive-energy promotional videos by the authorities. It is definitely the hottest song of the year.

A song like this might only appear once or twice in a year or two at most.

Feng Xiaogang is no ordinary person; he's a veteran in the entertainment industry. (End of Chapter)
