It was actually a skit script!
Chen Guozhi held the thin manuscript in his hand and looked at the author's name under the title, completely speechless.
Previously, when Lu Chen took out two original works, although he felt that Lu Chen was a little impetuous, he did not think it was unreasonable. After all, Lu Chen's talent in music was well known, and it was normal for him to release a song in a few days.
But now, Lu Chen took out a skit script!
Changing from pop music to skit, wasn't this a little too big of a leap?
Chen Guozhi suddenly felt his throat itch and wanted to cough a few times to express his feelings at the moment.
But because of the precedent, he forced himself to endure it and continued to watch seriously.
This great director was even a little unconvinced in his heart — I know that Lu Chen is very capable. I'm convinced by your two works, but not everyone can create a skit, especially a skit on the Spring Festival Gala. It's too exaggerated to say that it's one in a thousand, it's not even one in a hundred!
At domestic galas, language programs mainly referred to skits, crosstalk, etc. There were also recitations, allegro, three-and-a-half sentences, tongue twisters, speed recitals, burlesque, and other folk art programs. Musical poetry recitations were more common, and there were also some musical sitcoms.
But on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, when people talked about language programs, it was basically crosstalk and skit.
Since the beginning of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the early 1980s, crosstalk and skit had always been the most popular programs loved by the general public. A group of excellent crosstalk and skit performers also emerged on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Including many classic language programs, such as the crosstalk "Sales", "New Year's Eve", "City God's Temple", skits "Go to the Market", "Tomorrow Will Be Better", etc., were still often watched by people today.
However, with the improvement of the aesthetic standards of hundreds of millions of viewers, the quality of crosstalk and skit was declining year by year. Coupled with some policy reasons and economic factors, the creators of language programs generally had problems such as a lack of creativity, rigid thinking, and so on. Many crosstalk and skit relied on online jokes to make up the number.
The result was that the audience was not satisfied and the reviews were very bad, which in turn affected the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala. This vicious cycle was getting worse and worse.
The program selection for the 2018 Spring Festival Gala had actually started this summer. But so far, Chen Guozhi had only selected one program for the language category. Furthermore, it was a traditional crosstalk.
It wasn't that he was too picky, but that most of the crosstalk and skits that were submitted for approval had problems of one kind or another. It made Chen Guozhi pinch his nose and unable to pass it!
After watching so many boring skits, it was normal for Chen Guozhi to lose hope in Lu Chen's script. However, he couldn't embarrass Lu Chen. After all, Lu Chen had just given him two excellent works.
But the same situation happened again. After reading only two or three hundred words, Chen Guozhi's eyes couldn't leave the script!
He couldn't help but straighten his back, his left hand unconsciously rubbing the teacup. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he looked extremely serious.
"Haha …"
But the next moment, great director Chen's tensed face suddenly bloomed into a smile from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, almost knocking over the teacup in his hand!
"Director Chen …"
The assistant sitting next to him was startled, thinking that something had happened.
Chen Guozhi waved his hand to signal the other party to calm down. "It's nothing. It's just that the jokes in this script are well written."
He couldn't help but look up at Lu Chen, his eyes showing undisguised appreciation.
He had still underestimated it!
Great director Chen was quite emotional. He had seen so many skit scripts, and Lu Chen's script was definitely outstanding. If it didn't use any online jokes, it would be the most outstanding.
First of all, the plot was not vulgar or kitsch, nor was it a high and mighty preaching example. The language was simple and vivid, but it was very interesting. Most importantly, it did not involve sensitive social or political topics.
What was a good skit? This was the best skit!
Would Lu Chen plagiarize?
Chen Guozhi immediately rejected this idea. With the development of the internet and powerful search engines, plagiarists basically had nowhere to hide. It was too easy to be exposed.
Of course, Lu Chen had the confidence to hand over the script to him so confidently.
Instead of suspecting that he plagiarized online jokes, it was more reliable to suspect that he had a mastermind behind the scenes.
Did Lu Chen need a mastermind?
There was no need at all, because Lu Chen didn't need this kind of fame to support himself. He had become the most popular young artist in the country with his singing and acting. It didn't matter if he had more or less honor.
The ways of the world were sinister and unpredictable. Chen Guozhi was not afraid to speculate on others with the worst of intentions, but the young man sitting in front of him was extraordinary. He was handsome, confident, sunny, and had a convincing temperament and charm.
At this time, Chen Guozhi remembered that Lu Chen's movies and TV series were all written by him. There was no longer a trace of doubt in his heart. He lowered his head and continued to read the script in his hand.
It took a full 15 minutes for Chen Guozhi to finish reading the entire script. During this time, he laughed a total of five times. Except for the first few minutes, he was smiling the whole time.
This time, even his assistant was conquered by Lu Chen. This was because the assistant had accompanied Chen Guozhi to review the skit scripts more than once or twice. He had seen all kinds of disgust, disgust, and impatience with those works, but he had never seen a script that could make him so happy!
After reading it, Chen Guozhi let out a long sigh of relief. He waved the manuscript in his hand and asked with a smile, "Xiao Lu, are you also planning to transfer this skit script to the Spring Festival Gala for free?"
Chen Guozhi knew very well that it was impossible for Lu Chen to ask him to act in this skit. First of all, the setting was wrong.
Lu Chen said freely, "Director Chen, I prepared this script for you."
"For me?"
Chen Guozhi was surprised, but he immediately guessed what Lu Chen was thinking. "Then tell me, what do you need my help with?"
Lu Chen's things had helped him solve a big problem, and now he gave him a skit script that was qualified to be a classic. Chen Guozhi didn't think that Lu Chen wanted to be a Lei Feng.
"Do you want to push one of your signed artists to the Spring Festival Gala?"
Chen Guozhi thought that this should be Lu Chen's purpose, but Lu Chen's answer was beyond his expectation!
"Director Chen, I want to invite you to direct The Smiling, Proud Wanderer!"
