superstar director

Chapter 572
As the new year is approaching, Ning Sheng occasionally goes to the studio to attend the year-end meeting and give everyone a year-end bonus, and then stays at home with the children and parents, and helps Emma choose her new job for next year.

"Rage to the Rescue" is a big hit, and Emma, ​​the absolute protagonist, is naturally one of the biggest beneficiaries. The popularity has returned to the peak again, and there are various Hollywood film appointments, and Emma has to choose carefully.

But this girl Ning Tong can't wear it at home, because the movie "Star Wish" she participated in before is scheduled for February 2, the International Valentine's Day, which happens to be the third day after the Spring Festival this year, so they The publicity has already started.

Especially Ning Tong, she is also responsible for singing the movie's theme song "Star Language and Star Wish", and she is also the main force of the first wave of movie promotion, so these days she is participating in programs everywhere. While promoting this song, she is also promoting the movie Her movie!
And the song "Xingyu Xingyuan" was naturally written by Ning Sheng, and it was one of the three songs given to the record company every year!
Since the song was released a week ago, it has swept all major music charts across the country. The MV edited from movies easily reached 1 million views on the Internet within three days. With the popularity of the song, the MV The number of hits is still rising, and it has directly approached 10 billion views in just one week!Be the hottest single of the moment!
Of course, in today's Internet age, when a song comes alive, it is inevitable for various anchors to cover it. Nowadays, there are almost dozens of cover versions of various anchors alone, not to mention, there are some singers on TV. These are equivalent to free publicity for this song, and the higher the exposure of this song and the more people who have heard it, the better the exposure and publicity effect of the movie "Star Wish" will be!
And because the hero in the MV edited by the movie is the little sheep Zhang Yixing, one of the most popular male artists at the moment, fans of Ning Tong and Zhang Yixing also cheered for their idols, and because they are both handsome and beautiful, In the circle, they are still high-quality idols with few scandals, so many people look at them and they are an absolute match, and soon they will be selected as the most popular CP combination on the Internet!

It can be said that with just one song and one MV, the low-cost movie "Star Wish" has gained as much attention as ordinary blockbusters. Director Wang Qiang even made his movie the best while sitting at home. publicity effect!

Compared with Ning Tong running publicity and singing, "The King of Killers" in which Ying Bao participated has already been released. As the heroine, she followed Jie Ge to run around the road show, which was even harder. But watching the movie's box office keep rising, I believe this hard-working child It will be very comforting.

As for NLZ’s last classmate, Shishi, these days, she eats and sleeps, eats and sleeps, or goes to the record company, goes to the studio, or finds other friends to go out for a meal, in short, all kinds of blind rock!No way, who let her star in the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" be scheduled for next year's summer vacation! ——
Ding dong.

The outside doorbell rang.

Ning Sheng's family was making dumplings together, because Xin Xin was arguing to eat, when they heard the doorbell, Ning's mother got up to watch.

The original aunts in the family have all gone home for the New Year, and they were supposed to leave only ten days before the New Year, but Ning Ma waved her hand and said, "It's been a hard year, and the New Year is the most important thing, let's go back quickly, we can prepare for the New Year by ourselves! "

So, both the aunt and the chef returned home gratefully with a generous salary, and Ning Cheng's family had to come by themselves for three meals a day. Of course, sometimes they were lazy and had to go out to eat.

Emma said, "Did someone come to see you today?"

Ning Cheng shook his head, "I don't know, no one told me to come before."

At this time, his mother called him outside, "Ning Cheng, we have a guest."

"Who is it?" Ning Cheng shouted towards the outside.

Mom shouted: "It's the leader of the Imperial TV station."

Imperial TV station?
Still leading?
Both Ning Cheng and Emma were taken aback. Ning's father was a little confused about something. Although Ning Sheng is very famous now, as the leader of the national TV station, Didu TV Station is really not comparable to ordinary TV stations, especially Ning Cheng's family. It seems that there is no close relationship with Imperial TV Station. Neither Ning Sheng nor Ning Tong was invited to the Spring Festival Gala this year?Papa Ning didn't understand!

Washed up, went out of the kitchen, and went to the living room. Ning Cheng also saw someone coming. The leader of the team turned out to be a deputy director of the imperial capital, surnamed Wang. Ning Cheng had met several times when he attended the Spring Festival Gala and some banquets before. I know him, but the two of them are nodding acquaintances, so I really don't understand why they came to him directly today.Moreover, there were quite a few people behind Deputy Director Wang, some men and women, about seven or eight people, but Ning Cheng didn't know these people, and of course they might have met them, but Ning Cheng forgot.

What is this for?
Ning Sheng was puzzled.

Emma, ​​Ning's father and Ning's mother are also at a loss.But judging from their looks, it was obvious that they were looking for something to do with their son, so the two old people said hello, and then went back to the kitchen to make dumplings with Xinxin who ran out to watch the fun.

Ning Cheng stretched out his hand with a smile, "Master Wang, you are here."

"Mr. Ning is polite." Deputy Director Wang shook hands with him, "Aren't you bothering me?"

Ning Cheng smiled and said, "No, I have nothing to do here. I don't know if Master Wang is here, so what can you do?"

Deputy Director Wang said, "I'm here this time for the Spring Festival Gala."

Ning Cheng was taken aback, "Spring Festival Gala?"

"Yes." Deputy Director Wang looked inside, "Take a step to speak?"

Ning Sheng said: "Then go to my study and talk, it's a bit more spacious there."

Deputy Director Wang responded, "Okay!"

A group of people went to the conference room, and the two groups sat down facing each other.Emma brought tea to everyone and went back to the kitchen to help.

Ning Cheng took a sip of tea, and quietly waited for the other party to speak, but he already had some guesses in his heart, but he was still a little uncertain!

Vice-Director Wang looked at Ning Cheng, then put down his teacup, and said seriously, "I think you may have heard a lot about this recently, so I'm going to cut to the chase. This time, we want to invite you Come out and direct this year's Spring Festival Gala!"

Ning Cheng looked confused. Although he had guessed a bit in his heart, Ning Cheng was still shocked when the other party really said it. It was the biggest Spring Festival Gala stage in the whole country, even the whole world!
Deputy Director Wang pondered for a moment, looked serious, and said, "Mr. Ning, after the recommendation, selection, voting, and approval by the superiors of the Spring Festival Gala Working Group, I now formally invite you to be in charge of this year's Imperial Capital on behalf of the Spring Festival Gala Working Group." TV Spring Festival Gala!"

Seeing Ning Cheng's surprised look, Deputy Director Wang couldn't help calling out, "Mr. Ning?"

Ning Cheng pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me?"

Deputy Director Wang nodded, "Yes."

"You invited me?" Ning Sheng immediately said, "Don't you dare? There are many directors who are more qualified than me and are qualified to direct the Spring Festival Gala. How could they find me? I don't have any experience in directing a gala! "

One of the accompanying directors smiled wryly: "Mr. Ning, we are not joking. The above has already nodded, and the Spring Festival Gala working group has also held a meeting to discuss it. You are the most suitable candidate now. As long as you nod, you will be the general manager of this year's Spring Festival Gala from now on." Director!"

Ning Cheng was dumbfounded and said, "I've never held a party before!"

Another woman pushed up her glasses and said, "You don't have much experience as a director of large-scale evening shows, but this does not prevent you from being an excellent film director. No, excellent may not be enough. The director with the highest box office box office is recognized as a genius and one of the highest-level directors in the industry. We can invite directors who make TV dramas, why can’t we invite you? You are also top directors in your respective fields, even speaking of industry span , you have successfully transformed from a singer to a film business, and the span is always much smaller than film art and large-scale evening parties."

Ning Cheng shook his hand, then rubbed his forehead, "Let me take it easy, I'm a little confused, I need to think about it."

Vice-Director Wang said: "Mr. Ning, please promise. Everything is in chaos now. The media speculates, people are panicking, and the position of chief director is vacant, so no work can be carried out." After a pause, he said: "I also I know that the work of chief director of the Spring Festival Gala is not easy to do, there are many rules and regulations, and the range of what you can do is limited, but I think this is the time to test the level of a director. With your current status and strength in the industry, you come to sit in charge Absolutely no problem."

No problem shit!
What you said is simple!

Ning Sheng also knew a lot about the events of the Spring Festival Gala in recent years. That position may seem glorious, but the pressure and constraints are really not ordinary!Just look at the original chief director who is still in the hospital now!
Ning Cheng thought for a while and said, "I also like the Spring Festival Gala. My sister and I grew up watching it, and we also have feelings for the Spring Festival Gala, but how do I do this job? This show is so easy to save! The Spring Festival Gala Now the situation is, you have all kinds of rules, all kinds of requirements and constraints, and the audience has long been tired of the same old, which itself is a conflicting requirement, what do you want me to do?"

Several people talked in the study for more than half an hour. Finally, Ning Cheng said, "I have to think about it."

Deputy Director Wang nodded and said, "Yes, it should."

Ning Cheng looked at them, "Then everyone—"

"No need, Mr. Ning." Vice-Director Wang said, "We'll just wait here. After you think about it, tell us so we can go back and deal with business."

Ning Cheng was stunned: "No, this is too anxious, I mean you go back first, I'll just call you if it's decided."

Vice-President Wang said: "This is an urgent matter, and it must be settled immediately. We have nothing to do when we go back. You think about yours, and we will wait for your news."

Ning Cheng had no choice but to say: "Then you sit down first, and I'll go out for a while."

After leaving the study, Ning Cheng came to the kitchen. Ning Sheng first asked Emma to bring them some snacks and some hot tea.Then when Emma came back, Ning Sheng told them about the matter and asked for their opinions!
Papa Ning shouted, "Take it!"

Ning's mother was also excited: "Of course!"

Xinxin, who was learning how to make dumplings, heard the words, no matter what the adults were saying, she happily echoed loudly, "Pick it up, let's pick it up together!"

Ning Cheng smiled and nodded her little nose, and said, "Let's pick it up together, pick it up, will you help Dad with work?"

Xinxin giggled and dodged her father's hand, and said, "I'll help Baba, Mama can do Baba too, and grandparents, let's make it together, just like making dumplings!"

Ning Cheng smiled and said, "My Xinxin is so smart!"

After playing with Xinxin for a while, Ning Sheng looked at Emma, ​​and Emma looked at him and asked back, "Do you want to pick it up? If you want to pick it up, then go for it, the worst is just being scolded, but if You missed it this time, maybe there will be no more chances in the future, and it will be too late for you to regret it.”

Ning Cheng's heart skipped a beat, but he was still a little hesitant.

This thing is huge!
Even bigger than anything Ning Sheng has ever done!

This is the Spring Festival Gala of Imperial TV Station. This is the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala. The leaders are watching, the media is watching, the common people are watching, and Chinese people all over the world are paying attention. No way, wouldn't Ning Cheng really be scolded like a dog like other directors? No, maybe he would be scolded even harder. After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. With Ning Cheng's current status and reputation, once he Taking over as the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, the audience's expectations will definitely be very high, and once they are disappointed, the resentment and dissatisfaction will naturally be even greater!

However, this invitation came too suddenly!Even if he was always decisive in doing things before, he hesitated now!
Can you take it?
Will you accept it or not?

The whole family, including Xinxin, stared at him, waiting for him to make a decision.

Ning Cheng looked at them, and then at Xin Xin's big shining eyes, which were full of curiosity about the unknown and good expectations for the future, without any fear or timidity, Ning Cheng suddenly smiled, nodded to his family and said, " Well, at worst, just be scolded, I'll take this job!"

In the evening, the news was broadcast on TV, and the reporter was doing street interviews.

Reporter: "Will you watch the Spring Festival Gala this year?"

Passer-by: "Yes, it is a habit of our family to watch the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, but now I am quite worried. Didn't the news say that the chief director has not been decided yet? The stage is almost set up at this time of year , so I am worried that I will not be able to catch up."

Reporter: "Do you have any hopes and suggestions for the Spring Festival Gala?"

Passer-by: "I just hope that the show will be more exciting, not just the same ones, at least it will make our eyes shine, right? Of course, this is something the chief director has to consider. Our suggestion for half a day is useless. I hope this year We can find a good director for the Spring Festival Gala, otherwise, if it is like this every year, the ratings will be lower every year, and I am afraid that our family will not watch the Spring Festival Gala one day."

Ning's father and Ning's mother watched the news on TV, and couldn't help but look at his son worriedly. Ning's father said, "Xiao Sheng, don't feel pressured, don't care what others think, you just need to finish the Spring Festival Gala satisfactorily according to your own plan." Great job done!"

Ning's mother also nodded and said, "That's right, with so many people in the Spring Festival Gala, so many programs, and so many audiences across the country, it's impossible for you to satisfy everyone, no matter what others say."

While talking, Ning's father changed the channel, Ning Cheng smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, it's not like that, since I have accepted the job of chief director, I will naturally try my best to do it well, even if someone still scolds me in the end, I will just pretend I can't see it." I've been in this business for so long, who hasn't been scolded before, don't worry!"
