Chapter 956 Cooperating with Pu Tong
"That's Qing~Zang~Gao..."
The actor flushed with all his strength, but still couldn't sing the lyrics. He could do it when he tried it out in private, but why couldn't he do it in a serious interview now?
"Okay, that's it for today."
Wei Mingfeng waved his hand, but did not directly reject this new actor. After all, he was much better than the previous ones.
Is this what anyone can think of, asking a performer in a sketch to sing high notes? He lowered his head and glanced at the script on the table. Pu Tong really dug a big hole for him. After several days of interviews, he couldn't find anyone who could sing.
He was so worried about this matter that he couldn't sleep or eat well for several days. Who told him to be the leader? You can't just pass things off to others.
Wei Mingfeng only regretted that he didn't have two brushes, otherwise he would have gone on stage and sang by himself... Pu Tong's script almost forced his leadership team to become singers.
He glanced at his watch and thought, forget it, it's better to go home early after get off work, otherwise he will be scolded by his wife again, his family status is clear at a glance.
"Yeah! I'm thinking about you, call me now?"
The caller ID is not the Pu Tong that he has longed for. This boy's conscience has discovered that he knows how to take over his own mess!
"Uncle Wei, it's me, how are you preparing for the skit..."
It is not easy for Pu Tong to go straight to the topic and go through the back door. It is better to understand the situation symbolically.
"Thanks to you, there's no progress." Wei Mingfeng paused, "Well, it's not like there's no progress at all. The old man and Mr. Bi have found the actors."
There are only four people in the skit "Not Short of Money". The two people missing now are the ones who need to sing. They are short of major arteries. Without these two roles, the other people will be useless.
Pu Tong couldn't think of a way, so he could only laugh twice, then changed the subject and directly asked if the Spring Festival Gala needed a song program.
"Is it possible that you want to..."
Wei Mingfeng was stunned when he heard this. Although Pu Tong's question was a little abrupt, but from what he meant, it seemed that he wanted to come to the Spring Festival Gala to sing. That would be a good relationship. If Pu Tong went to the Spring Festival Gala, the ratings would be stable!
"If you want to come, of course we'll warmly welcome you. When are you free to come over for rehearsal?"
"Forehead……"
Pu Tong was at a loss for words for a moment. Sure enough, there must be a specific program for the Spring Festival Gala, and it must be rehearsed several times. He has nothing, so how can he attend?
"Is there a possibility that I don't know what I want to sing now and I can't rehearse it, but I can just sing it when the time comes? Do you think it's okay?"
"What the hell?"
Wei Mingfeng was dumbfounded after hearing this. The Spring Festival Gala is a gala for audiences across the country. After two or three months of preparation, he tried to maximize the error rate, but this guy actually didn't even think about it and went straight to it.
The most outrageous thing is that he doesn’t even know what he plans to sing. He’s not a buddy, so why bother? At that time, it will be broadcast live on the entire network at the same time. If he is not ready and his eyes darken when he goes on stage, wouldn't it be all over?
"With your level, you can write songs now. Why bother..."
Wei Mingfeng suppressed his confusion. If others had said that, he would have scolded him. But this is Pu Tong. Regardless of his strength, he is a good boy and cannot be here to cause trouble.
Let's hear what he has to say.
Pu Tong immediately revealed his plan to kill two birds with one stone. He wanted to take the opportunity of the Spring Festival Gala to release the third song of the music duel. The reason why he didn't know what to sing was because he didn't know the theme of the third round of challenge yet.
"You are so brave!"
Wei Mingfeng was frightened by Pu Tong's idea. He prepared and booked the Spring Festival Gala in advance without knowing what the topic would be. Who knew when the challenge would start? It would not be a joke if it was too late.
If nothing else, how could he report this matter?
Last year, Pu Tong only participated in a few rehearsals, which was already a special consideration. This year, he will go directly to the rehearsals without rehearsals. I'm afraid it will be difficult to bear the weight. CCTV does not have the final say alone.
"Actually, it's not that sudden. Each round of music challenges will start in advance. After all, a certain amount of creative time must be set aside."
Pu Tong explained: "You see, like this time, Feili also started one month in advance, so there is plenty of time."
Wei Mingfeng couldn't help but nodded. This is true. How can a music challenge be compared if it doesn't set aside time for music creation?
With Pu Tong's ability, if he had more than ten days of preparation time, it would definitely be more than enough to create a high-quality piece of music. After all, he was famous for live-streaming ten-minute improvisations at the time.
Wei Mingfeng is really a little excited. The risks of this matter are indeed very high, but the benefits are not generally high.
The competition between Pu Tong and their music has always been a hot international event recently, and the above are also paying great attention to it.
This kid has also successfully achieved the pioneering goal of displaying excellent culture. One song, "Butterfly Lovers" and one "Guan Ju", have made Mandarin music have a strong presence on the world stage.
If his third song can be successfully released on the Spring Festival Gala stage, it will be a one plus one effect, not only a window for external display, but also a bridge that resonates with all Chinese people.
By then, this Spring Festival Gala may not all go down in history as a classic case of excellent cultural communication.
The risk of performing directly on stage without rehearsing is indeed not small, but if it can be done, it will be a good thing for the future.
Wei Mingfeng thought about it for a while and really thought it was feasible. He still had a high degree of trust in Pu Tong.
"I have to ask the higher-ups for instructions. You are really restless..."
Pu Tong breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know whether this matter could be accomplished, at least he had a clue when entering the negotiation process, and he didn't need to worry about the rest.
He rubbed his brows, not knowing who his opponent would be in the third round, pop music ceiling Charlie or innocent little gangster Jaya...or that mysterious girl Hetty, I feel that these three people are difficult to deal with!
But there is no need to rush this matter. This second round of competition is not over yet, and there is no point in rushing for the third round. He has not passed Feili's level yet.
To be honest, Pu Tong has no expectations for the outcome of this round. Feili is so strong in the field of high notes that it is beyond the reach of human beings...
The current comprehensive data remains at 37, and they have 3 Fei Liqi. This is still with their own popularity bonus. It is difficult to win against the Queen of Treble.
After a while, Wei Mingfeng's phone call came back. As expected of the leadership team, the efficiency of work is really not a guarantee.
"The superiors agreed."
Wei Mingfeng himself was a little surprised. After he explained Pu Tong's plan, the top management had only one instruction, and that was to fully cooperate with Pu Tong's work.
This sentence contains too much gold. If you can use these words when working together, they are all decisions of strategic significance. It seems that the importance attached to Pu Tong is outrageous.
However, it is not difficult to understand. It is impossible not to pay attention to talents who can single-handedly promote cultural output.
"Of course, we don't 100% accept your plan, we need a backup plan." Wei Mingfeng smiled and said: "First prepare another song normally to participate in the rehearsal. If you are ready by then, you can go. If you are not ready, you can Okay, let’s proceed as planned, what do you think?”
When Pu Tong heard it, it was no problem. Anyway, he was confident that he would prepare the songs before going on stage. With an alternative plan, others would be relieved and he would be less stressed.
"Then it's settled, I look forward to your... on-the-spot performance in the Spring Festival Gala."
Wei Mingfeng hung up the phone with joy, only to find that his wife had missed six calls. He looked out the window at the already dark sky, and his heart finally died.
"Spicy pills!"
