Li Yishi really didn't want to say this.
Just rehearse and sing two songs honestly, it's easy, why do you need to do anything for yourself?
But, Director Xu Zhen really had nothing to say to Li Yi. He had always given him enough face and had a good relationship with CCTV, which was definitely the right thing to do, so Li Yi went against his own instincts without much hesitation. Heart.
"Really? Do you have an idea, or do you have a written book?"
When Xu Zhen heard this, he immediately became excited. It was not about how much he trusted Li Yi, but that having one more choice gave him more confidence.
"It's already written." Li Yi once again gave the reason for "stocking up" in a low-key manner, and at the same time, his mind was spinning rapidly as to which skit to use.
As a native of Guangdong Province, Li Yi has watched less of the Spring Festival Gala since he was a child, and has no interest in making dumplings. However, he was deeply impressed by several classic sketches when he visited Xiaopo Station.
"That's great!"
However, Xu Zhen was not happy for long. It is now mid-November, and the program will be basically finalized by the end of December.
Then the rehearsals begin one after another. In other words, with this new book, the time for the sketch actors to go from familiarity to rehearsal may be less than a month.
"Xiao Yi, time is quite tight. Do you have a large number of participants in this book? There are also scene layouts. If the requirements are high, you may not be able to make it in time."
Hearing Xu Zhen's words, Li Yi, who was still thinking hard, immediately came up with an idea and said with a smile: "We only need two actors, and the requirements for scenes and props are not high. As long as we find the right actors, it will probably take a long time from familiarity to formal rehearsal." It won’t take long, and I will definitely be able to catch up with the final selection.”
"what name?"
Xu Zhen asked Li Yi and said to the assistant next to him: "Write it down and report it to the review team first."
"Captain, don't shoot. It's me, not me."
Li Yizheng recalled the classic lines in the sketch, and said it with a smooth mouth, and quickly added: "The name of this sketch is "Protagonist and Supporting Role"."
"Okay, but I just want a sketch that can make everyone happy. Do you understand, Xiaoyi?"
"I understand, I understand. Anyway, every time I read it. Ahem, anyway, I feel quite happy every time I read this script."
Xu Zhen had also collaborated with Li Yi many times. Knowing that Li Yi never said anything he was unsure of, he immediately became more concerned: "So, I ask Xiao Wang to follow you back to get the script? I’ll let the review team look at it first.”
"No, don't bother me. I'll just send it to you when I get back."
Not a single word has been coded, so which script should I choose?
Li Yi added: "But you can look for an actor first. He must have thick eyebrows and big eyes, an upright appearance, and a face full of righteousness. There must also be a person with a bit of a furtive eyebrow and a sneaky temperament. Well, he must be bald."
If it weren't for the bald head, the back of the head wouldn't have that smell.
"Both of them are men. Age doesn't matter. Just don't look too young or too old. By the way, they must have rich stage performance experience." Li Yi added.
For this sketch, first of all, the actor's image must match, and he must have considerable skills in performing sketches and dramas in order to perform well.
At first, Li Yi naturally thought of one of his own, but after thinking about it, he found that there was really no suitable one. Zhang Bo, the only one who could possibly play the role of Chen Peisi, felt like he was in trouble just thinking about it.
There was no rehearsal task today, so Li Yi just came over to go through the motions, recognize the door, and after the conversation, he immediately drove home.
As soon as I get home, I open Word and start working!
His slender fingers with clear joints were flying on the keyboard, and he spent almost an hour copying the script of "Protagonist and Supporting Actor".
Li Yi restored this script based on the sketch and wrote it in more detail.
For example, he wrote down how the actor would act, what actions he would take during this section, and even his expressions.
It is also worth mentioning that when performing this skit, the belt of the box gun was broken. This was a sudden and unexpected situation. Zhu Shimao repaired the belt while performing. When it came to Chen Peisi, the belt was shortened. Unexpectedly It creates a very good comedy effect.
This scene must be preserved, so Li Yi wrote it into a baggage, specially marked a line of words next to it, made it bold and red, and asked the prop team to design it.
After making some modifications to make the script look more like a script, Li Yicai sent it to Xu Zhen's email.
Speaking of which, the situation of Blue Star's Spring Festival Gala and Earth's Spring Festival Gala are the same, and the development and decline of the sketches are also very different.
The scenes and props are becoming more and more grand and exquisite, and the stage also uses high technology such as 3D projection, but it is getting worse and worse.
In the past, the Spring Festival Gala had simple settings and high-energy content; now, the Spring Festival Gala has gorgeous settings and low-energy content.
In the past, I used jokes from sketches on the Internet, but now I use jokes from Xiaoshang.
The sketches before were really funny, and the sketches now are really funny.
In fact, there are other sketches in Li Yi's memory that meet Xu Zhen's requirements.
However, Li also likes this "Protagonist and Supporting Role" with classic lines and timeless memes.
"Captain, don't shoot, it's me!"
"The Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message."
"Did you bring the Japs here?"
"Doesn't this show that your marksmanship is accurate?"
"I didn't expect that even a guy like you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would rebel!"
"You can control me, but you can also control who the audience wants to watch?"
"The public's eyes are naturally sharp."
"No conditions, who will surrender?"
"."
There are too many, and many of them were still used before Li Yi traveled through time. They are both funny and meaningful.
Li Yi was reading the script and recalling the scene of the skit with great joy. When he saw one of the lines: Can he act well like a telegraph pole?
He was suddenly stunned: "The audience won't think that I'm mocking the current situation of the entertainment industry, right?"
"This Xiaoyi is so cruel!"
When Xu Zhen received Li Yi's message, he immediately found a chair to sit down and read the script on his mobile phone. He naturally thought that this script had connotation and was offensive!
Just point at the noses of some traffic stars and curse!
Apart from these, there are also some lines that are quite bold.
However, this is not a problem.
This script is so good!
It doesn't really matter whether it's sensational or preachy, but the most important thing is that it has to be funny.
Obviously this script did it, it was this kind of skit he wanted!
"A confidant, a true confidant!"
Xu Zhen felt that he and Li Yi were so in tune with each other that it was not an exaggeration to say that they were close friends. Li Yi had already written a script, but it was as if it was tailor-made according to his requirements!
However, the script still has to be shown to the review team first. After approval, a series of work can be carried out, just like a movie script that must be submitted for review first.
Although Xu Zhen is the general director of this Spring Festival Gala, his power is not particularly great. There are many restrictions, and he cannot decide the ideas of the review team.
Of course, for people like Li Yi and Huang Chongwen who have a good image and are very popular, he will naturally arrange whatever they want.
"This script is good, with a lot of baggage and plenty of laughs. However, some of the lines are too bold."
"The lines were okay, but the ending didn't sublime."
"Yes, that's what I think. This script was written by Li Yi? The young man is quite talented. Let him change the rest."
Xu Zhen had already anticipated the reactions to these reviews, but he was not anxious at all and said calmly: "How do you want to change it?"
Several older members of the review team discussed for a few minutes and soon came up with a plan.
"This book is very compact and has a very tight rhythm. There is no need to change the beginning. I just need to sublimate it at the end."
"For example, at the end, it can be emphasized that there is no big or small role, and everyone has a suitable position. As long as they perform well in a down-to-earth manner, supporting actors can still become artists."
"Yes, yes, that's what it tastes like. At this time, paired with some beautiful background music, it will be perfect!"
"Well, we can also let the actors say a nice word to He He when he takes his final call: Go home and eat dumplings."
"."
Listening to what the review team said to each other, Xu Zhen remained silent and just smiled.
Seeing that he didn't respond, one of them asked: "Director Xu, what do you think?"
"I don't think so. This book cannot be changed at all!" Xu Zhen gave his answer very forcefully.
There was no quarrel. The people in the review team just insisted on their own ideas——
If you can't change it, then you won't be able to pass this book.
"The Spring Festival Gala is getting worse every year. Don't you reviewers realize the problem?"
To be honest, Xu Zhen thinks there is no problem in making a sublimation at the end.
Many viewers are blindly criticizing. In the past, the program was purely to entertain the audience, but now the program is an honest mission.
In fact, no, it's just that the current programs are not clever enough in dealing with these issues and are too blunt, which makes people annoying.
According to the opinion of the review team, it is actually quite reasonable to make a sublimation at the end, and it will not have much impact on the burden and rhythm of the entire sketch.
But Xu Zhen just didn't want to compromise. He continued: "The above has relaxed the restrictions for me this time. Why haven't you changed at all?"
"What are you talking about?"
"It's over, Director Xu."
"Everyone is sitting here discussing to make the show better and more exciting."
On the surface, Xu Zhen is the biggest person in charge of this Spring Festival Gala, and the members of the review team are still very patient.
"Anyway, this book cannot be changed. If you don't agree, then I will go and talk to the superiors."
Xu Zhen's attitude was still very firm, and he used a line from the script: "You can control some things, but how can you control what the audience likes to watch?"
The review ended unhappily, but the script of "Protagonist and Supporting Actor" was passed without changing a word.
However, whether they can finally be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala still depends on the final rehearsal results.
The next day, Li Yi came to the CCTV building again, and first started the rehearsal of his "Blue and White Porcelain". After three formal rehearsals, he then sang "Gong Xi Fa Cai" with Huang Chongwen.
At the end of the rehearsal, Huang Chongwen invited Li Yi: "Let's go, Xiaoyi, let's go play ball in the afternoon and go to the e-sports hall to have fun in the evening. Don't make excuses, I know you have no other work arrangements."
At this time, Xu Zhen came over, and Li Yi spread his hands and said: "I'm sorry, Brother Chongwen, I didn't make excuses. I wrote a sketch book this time, and I guess I won't have much time until the year before."
"Book? From the Spring Festival Gala?"
Huang Chongwen couldn't believe it. Xu Zhen and Li Yi were chatting on the side. He could only accept this fact and couldn't help but complain: "You kid, your business is too broad."
Sometimes even Huang Chongwen feels that being friends with Li Yi can easily lead to frustration from time to time.
Fortunately, he is better at basketball and games than Li Yi.
Huang Chongwen said goodbye and left, and Li Yi followed him to Xu Zhen's office and looked at the actor's information.
There was not much time for training, so the scope was naturally set on some sketch and drama actors with rich stage experience, and a clearer screening was carried out for them in accordance with Li Yi's requirements——
A positive figure with thick eyebrows and big eyes; a bald head with sinister eyebrows and rat eyes.
"Your work efficiency is too fast!"
Li Yi couldn't help but admire. The script that was sent yesterday afternoon, the actor information was screened at noon today, and it was all in accordance with his requirements.
This shows that the entire Spring Festival Gala production team has a very unified opinion and is very optimistic about the script. Well, Director Xu also has great power!
'Have vision and do business. 'Li Yi added in his mind.
Xu Zhen smiled: "Of course."
The image is quite suitable. In this case, it depends on the acting skills. However, if Xu Zhen can portray it, it will definitely be good. Then it depends on the actor's own tacit understanding and chemical reaction.
There is no relevant information in Li Yi's memory. He is also from Guangdong Province now, and he doesn't watch the Spring Festival Gala or skits very much. He can only ask Xu Zhen: "Director Xu, is there any teacher who has a relatively tacit cooperation experience?"
"Zhu Guangzhi, Zhu Qiuyuan and Chen Xiaoer, these three teachers have collaborated on many sketches and plays, and have contributed many wonderful stages. They have also been regular guests of the Spring Festival Gala for several years."
Xu Zhen had obviously done enough homework and immediately pointed out a few people to Li Yi, who happened to be the ones Li Yi felt were most consistent with the prototype.
Zhu Guangzhi, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is upright and handsome, is somewhat similar to the prototype Zhu Shimao, while Zhu Qiuyuan and Chen Xiaoer correspond to the characters of Chen Peisi. They are both bald and do not look like positive characters.
Li Yi immediately said: "Then let these teachers come over and give it a try first."
"Okay, let's go."
"Where to go?"
"Go visit some teachers at their homes. You don't think that if you send them a script, they will just rush here. Zhu Guangzhi and Chen Xiaoer have both announced that they will no longer attend the Spring Festival Gala. , Fortunately, they all live in the capital."
"ah?"
Li Yi was convinced. Is the Spring Festival Gala so shameless?
