Lu Chen and Chen Guozhi met officially seven days later at a private club in Beijing.
This guild hall has a long history and has many top members in the economic and entertainment circles. It is also at the top in the crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon capital, with excellent environment and privacy.
In order to meet Lu Chen, Chen Guozhi also specially booked an elegant room, which fully shows the great director's attention to Lu Chen.
There were only four people on both sides of the meeting. Lu Chen took Chen Feier and Chen Guozhi took his assistant.
Chen Guozhi is in his fifties this year. He is very thin, short and has little meat on his face. Therefore, his cheekbones are high, his eyes are bright and bright, and his appearance characteristics are very distinctive.
After meeting and being polite to each other, we took our seats together.
Chen Guozhi smiled and said, "Miss Chen Feier is becoming more and more beautiful. It should be the magic of love!"
The big director actually joked with Chen Feier, which immediately relaxed the atmosphere in the elegant room.
Chen fei'er smiled and said, "thank you for your praise. You are getting younger and younger..."
She worked with Chen Guozhi and once played a guest role in a film made by the latter.
But let's say, the two sides haven't seen each other for several years.
The entertainment circle says it's big or small. Some people can bump into it every day. In fact, it's not small. There are bustling people coming and going, iron barracks and flowing soldiers.
For Chen Feier's slightly teasing response, director Chen Da stroked his sparse hair and said with a bitter smile: "when you are old, the wind is always blown away by the rain. Now it's your young people's world!"
His eyes looked at Lu Chen: "Lu Chen, well, is it OK for me to call you Xiao Lu?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "director Chen, it's my pleasure."
What Lu Chen said is not polite. He also admires the great director. He is a real senior!
Chen Guozhi nodded and said, "Xiao Lu, I know your time is precious. I'm also very busy. We won't say more polite words. Let's get to the point!"
Lu Chen quickly straightened up: "you say."
Chen Guozhi is really outspoken: "to tell you the truth, I'm under a lot of pressure after taking over the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. I'm afraid the audience is not satisfied with the final program."
"The budget of next year's Spring Festival Gala is about 300 million. Although it is said that it can be earned through advertising bidding, the common people are not satisfied. They are scolding their mother on New Year's Eve. Do you say that 300 million is spent unjustly? Am I responsible as a director?"
Lu Chen listened silently with emotion.
He doesn't know much about the Spring Festival Gala, but he also knows something. Now the cost of CCTV Spring Festival Gala is getting higher and higher, but the ratings are declining year by year. There are many critics on the Internet who think that running the Spring Festival Gala is completely wasting people's hard-earned money.
Of course, such a statement is too extreme. After all, the current Spring Festival Gala takes the business model to a large extent, does not rely on the government budget, and has achieved huge profits.
However, it is an indisputable fact that the reputation of the audience has greatly decreased. The aesthetic needs of the audience are constantly improving. When Chen Guozhi takes over this burden, he will naturally feel great pressure.
He did not deny this: "at present, there are five or six hundred programs in the newspaper. I have seen a lot of half of them, but there are no more than five that can catch the eye!"
In fact, Chen Guozhi didn't say anything, that is, as the director of the Spring Festival Gala, he didn't have the right to choose the program completely, because there are too many people staring at this area, which is related to the interests of all aspects.
Chen Guozhi's intention is to make more high-quality programs on the Spring Festival gala as far as possible within his authority, so that ordinary viewers can be satisfied and happy!
However, it is really not easy to achieve this.
"Xiao Lu..."
Chen Guozhi sincerely said to Lu Chen, "I have heard many of your pop music works. In my opinion, you are the best singer in China, so I hope you can write a song for the Spring Festival Gala."
"It's entirely up to you to decide what form of work it is!"
In fact, Chen Guozhi's intention has already been expressed to Lu Chen in advance through his assistant. Now it is explained again that it undoubtedly emphasizes his importance and trust in Lu Chen.
You know, Lu Chen and Chen Guozhi were never acquainted. They have never had any contact. This attention and trust is valuable, especially on the big stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which has attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of people!
This makes Lu Chen feel pressure.
He and Chen Feier looked at each other, and the latter smiled and nodded.
Lu Chen took a deep breath and said, "director Chen, thank you for your love. In fact, I also prepared two works this time. Please guide me!"
As soon as his voice fell, Chen Feier took out a professional portable music player with headphones and two bound music scores from her portable bag.
In front of Chen Guozhi!
Looking at the player and music score in front of him, Chen Guozhi was really surprised.
He didn't expect that Lu Chen was so well prepared that he brought all his works directly.
But also two works!
Young people after all
In addition to being surprised, director Chen Da is more or less uncomfortable in his heart, because he feels that Lu Chen is probably famous because he is young. In addition, he has been in the limelight recently, so he is a little impetuous.
This is the program for the Spring Festival Gala. He attaches so much importance to it. Lu Chen actually spent a week writing two works and put them in front of him. Even if he is a real genius, can he ensure the quality of matching with the Spring Festival Gala?
Of course, on the surface, Chen Guozhi just showed an appropriately surprised look, and then smiled and said, "I really want to listen."
He picked up the earphone and music score, and the assistant helped turn on the player and began to listen to the works brought by Lu Chen on the spot.
At the beginning of listening to the first song, Chen Guozhi was very disapproval, but he only listened to the first sentence of the song and his look changed!
Become dignified and serious, and a little bit of surprise!
Then as he listened, his surprise expanded and even closed his eyes.
After a song was played, Chen Guozhi suddenly opened his eyes. He first pressed the pause button of the player, and then couldn't wait to take off his headphones and ask Lu Chen, "did you really write this song for the Spring Festival Gala?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "yes, director Chen."
He wrote both songs specially for the Spring Festival Gala.
As Chen Feier said, since we want to do human relations, we must do human relations solidly!
Moreover, he prepared more than just two music works.
