"General Manager Feng, long time no see. Are you looking for me to shoot a new advertisement?" Zhu Simao shook Feng Yu's hand enthusiastically.
Although he valued art more, he would not pretend to be virtuous and make life difficult for money. His contract with Feng Yu's company was not for a short period of time. Every time he filmed a commercial, he would receive a red packet. So, although some people said that his contract looked like it was a loss, he did not mind.
General Manager Feng was very particular!
This year, he had transferred from the Bayi Film Studio to work as an actor in the Broadcasting Art Troupe and planned to study abroad after the New Year. Feng Yu had contacted Tai Hua Trading and asked if there were any plans to shoot commercials. It would be best if they could shoot during the winter and summer holidays.
"A new advertisement? It's not time yet. With the current creativity of the advertisement, it won't be a problem to air it for a period of time. Next summer, we'll shoot a new one. This time, we'll go to the mountain roads in the south to shoot. This time, I'm here for something else. Are you ready for the skit for the Spring Festival Gala? "
"I'm ready. I'm rehearsing with Chen Lao Er right now. What's the matter? "Zhu Simao looked at Feng Yu in surprise. Why was Feng Yu concerned about his Spring Festival Gala performance?
"Yes. It's like this. CCTV is organizing a New Year's Eve Gala and wants to invite you and Baldy Chen to perform a skit together. The theme must be to contribute to the country's economic development. Now that I'm handing it to you, can you come up with a mature script? "
New Year's Eve party? Zhu Simao was stunned. Since when did CCTV have a New Year's Eve Gala? Just the Spring Festival Gala Night's program team had transferred most of their staffs away from CCTV. How can they still have the energy to organize a New Year's Day Gala Night?
Furthermore, CCTV had the money to host two Gala Night Gala Night. It was not a small amount. The Spring Festival Gala's stage would definitely be different from the New Year's stage, right? Furthermore, there were too many troublesome things such as actor invitations and all kinds of program arrangements. How could he handle all of them?
"General Manager Feng, why haven't I heard of this New Year's Eve Gala?" He was considered one of the top actors in China now. Every year, he and Baldy Chen would be invited to the Spring Festival Gala. He also had good relations with CCTV. How come he did not know about this gala?
Feng Yu briefly explained to him what kind of party it was.
"Award ceremony? Why did they have to prepare so many programs for the award ceremony? What did you say? You want to invite celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan to perform? The appearance fees over there are very expensive. "
"You don't have to worry about that. They can only set the price in our country. Also, I guarantee that the money they get will not be more than us. They will disrupt the order of our market! Of course, this time is different from the Spring Festival Gala. Every program will receive a red packet. I guarantee that it will not be less than five digits. Consider it a reward for everyone's hard work. "
Although five digits wasn't a small number, it wasn't much for Zhu Simao at the moment. After he came out of the Bayi Film Studio, he could take on some commercial performances. The pay wasn't low, but he didn't want to go to those places.
Now, some manufacturers had offered him more than 500,000 RMB a year, but he did not accept them. Endorsing those products would affect his image, and he was not willing to do so. Moreover, he was not short of money.
"Okay. General Manager Feng, apart from the theme of economic development, do you have any other requirements?"
Feng Yu thought for a while: "Can we represent the Machinery Company? That is, our Songjiang Motorcycles manufacturer. After this program, it will be Manager Li's turn to receive the award."
"No problem. I will make some changes to the script and add some new baggage. We should be able to have the prototype within a week. In two weeks, we should be able to participate in the rehearsals."
"Ok. I will leave it to you. You can contact me if you encounter any problems while you are studying overseas. Maybe I can help you. "

"Mr. Wang, you should know how rare this opportunity is. You should know about Fei Xiang. Ever since she appeared on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, she became famous all over China. I know her songs are very popular, and her albums are selling well. But how many albums did she sell in China? In China, many people listen to her songs and sing her songs. But how many people know her? CCTV's Spring Festival Gala is China's biggest promotional platform. It can also be said to be the world's biggest promotional platform. There will be a few hundred million people watching this program … … "
Fu Guangzheng followed Feng Yu's instructions and spoke to a Hong Kong music company's boss. He wanted his boss to agree to let Qi Yu sing two songs for Beijing's New Year's Day Gala. Qi Yu can sing an old song and a new song. But other than reimbursing for her airfare and accommodation, there will be no appearance fees!
The company's boss did not agree. Qi Yu was the most popular singer in China, and her songs cost more than 5 digits. How can she only reimburse for her airfare and accommodation in China?!
But what Fu Guangzheng said made the company's boss very tempted. The Chinese market was a big market, and they had always wanted to enter this market. But due to various reasons, they could not do so. If Qi Yu could perform on CCTV like Fei Xiang, then he might be able to hold a concert in China. How much could he earn from one concert?
In the end, Fu Guangzheng agreed to reimburse Qi Yu's expenses and one of his assistants' expenses. He does not care about the rest! Just like this, the company agreed. Of course, Fu Guangzheng also bought the music rights of this company.
Very soon, Fu Guangzheng invited Hong Kong's Aaron Kwok. Aaron Kwok had just released his second album, and his popularity and sales were at its peak. But in China, he was the same as many Hong Kong's top singers. His songs were popular but not popular. His albums were selling well, but his company could not make any profits. This was because they could not collect the copyright fees, and all the songs were pirated!
This time, Fu Guangzheng had used Zhang Mingmin as an example. Zhang Mingmin's songs and dances could not be compared to Aaron Kwok. But Zhang Mingmin's fans were more than 10 times more than Aaron Kwok! This was because Zhang Mingmin had appeared on China's Spring Festival Gala before and had a huge fan base in China. He could even hold more than 100 concerts in China. This was a record that no one could break!
Aaron Kwok's company heard that even Taiwanese's Qi Yu had agreed. Qi Yu's status was higher than Aaron Kwok. Fu Guangzheng still wants to buy the copyrights of his company's music videos. So, Aaron Kwok's company also agreed to appear in CCTV's program for free!
Actually, the singer Feng Yu wanted to invite the most was Teng Lijun. Unfortunately, Teng Lijun was developing her career in Japan and her health was not very good, so she rarely participated in events. In the end, he could only choose Qi Yu, who sang "Olive Tree".
Hong Kong had wanted to invite Leslie Cheung and Xu Guanjie, but they had also announced their temporary retirement from the music industry. They had all decided not to pursue their singing careers, and it was useless to use their popularity to impress them.
When choosing the songs, Feng Yu also put in a lot of effort. He had to consider the image of these people and choose the songs carefully. Although they had already opened their mouths, this was an award ceremony, so they couldn't sing songs about love. Many of the singers that Feng Yu liked couldn't be invited.
They also invited a few singers and dancers from the mainland, as well as acrobatics, magic, crosstalk, and other performances. There were a total of 12 performances, just enough to give out one award for each performance.
When these celebrities heard that they were invited by CCTV, they agreed without hesitation. It was their honor to be invited by CCTV!
Within a week, Feng Yu had decided on the cast. It was an all-star lineup. Although the cost was not low, it was nothing compared to the value of these celebrities. If it was in Feng Yu's previous life, this lineup would cost at least a few million RMB. But Feng Yu did not spend more than 1,000 RMB for any of the performances!
Feng Yu looked at the program list and frowned. There was nothing new about this program.
