Chapter 77 A Special Dance Troupe, The Little Fairy's Surprise (Long Chapter)
The next morning, Lin Zixuan went to CCTV headquarters as scheduled to discuss the specific performance details of "Chinese Language" with the Spring Festival Gala program team.
In fact, by this time, the Spring Festival Gala had already completed its third round of rehearsals.
The most important purpose of the first three rounds of rehearsals is to eliminate and select the final lineup for the Spring Festival Gala.
After three rounds of rehearsals, the basic framework of the Spring Festival Gala program has been finalized. The next step is the review process. Unless it fails the review or a major accident occurs, the possibility of it being replaced is very low.
Of course, there is no need to worry about Lin Zixuan's "Chinese Language" failing the review process, because the song is inherently correct, fits the country's major strategy, and has even received praise from the Xinhua Society. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a "red and righteous" song.
This year's Spring Festival Gala production team has a total of seven directors, with the chief director being Jin Yue, a veteran director from CCTV.
This is his fifth time directing the Spring Festival Gala, demonstrating his rich experience and profound directing skills.
Moreover, he has a special role this year: he also serves as the producer of the Spring Festival Gala.
It can be said that he had a very strong voice in this year's Spring Festival Gala.
It was his idea to invite Lin Zixuan to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Although other leaders initially raised objections, he ultimately overruled them and suppressed all dissent.
That's why Lin Zixuan finally received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala.
After arriving at CCTV headquarters, Lin Zixuan and Chu Qingxuan were led by staff to a small rehearsal hall.
I met the general director, Jin Yue, along with two assistant directors, the music director, and the dance director.
After the two sides met, Lin Zixuan respectfully greeted all the seniors present, and then Jin Yue asked him to sing "Chinese" on the spot.
After he finished singing, Jin Yue nodded, quite satisfied with his performance. Then, without wasting any words, he went straight to the point: "Lin Zixuan, your song has been confirmed for this year's Spring Festival Gala. However, after discussing it, we felt that it would be too shabby for you to perform alone on stage, and it wouldn't be able to express the theme that the whole world is learning to speak Chinese."
So after discussing it, we decided to add more backup dancers, and we should invite people from all over the world, of all skin colors, to dance for us. We can also give them some harmonies, with each person saying a line of Chinese lyrics.
This will not only make the stage atmosphere more lively, but also truly demonstrate to the people of the whole country and overseas Chinese the great achievement that Chinese culture and Chinese language have gone global, inspiring everyone's cultural confidence and pride.
What do you think?
Since the director has said so, how could Lin Zixuan have any objections? He's not stupid, and he also thinks the suggestion is indeed very good.
However, he had absolutely no resources for selecting dancers or designing dance moves.
However, when he raised this concern, he was met with a burst of laughter from the crowd on the stage. Jin Yue couldn't help but point at him and say, "Good lad, do you think this is? This is the Spring Festival Gala production team. Do you think this is a big deal? Don't worry, you don't need to worry about any of this. The production team will take care of everything."
Furthermore, even if we were to concede that you want to interfere, we wouldn't feel comfortable with it. After all, in our plan, this special dance troupe will be composed of people from all over the world, representing all races and ethnicities. These people definitely cannot be left without rigorous vetting.
"Boss, then I have no objections and I guarantee to cooperate fully."
"Okay, dance director Ding Wei will discuss the specifics with you next. Do your best, we'll be going now."
The Spring Festival Gala is an incredibly busy event, and it was already quite remarkable that Jin Yue was able to find time to meet with Lin Zixuan alone at this time. After explaining everything, he and the others quickly left.
Ding Wei, who was left behind, picked up his phone and made a call. Soon, two people came in.
After Ding Wei's introduction, it turned out that the event was planned by Meng Xin and the dance choreographer Han Tao.
It seems the Spring Festival Gala production team really did make preparations well in advance.
In the ensuing conversation, Lin Zixuan realized that his task was actually quite simple.
He didn't have to worry about anything, such as selecting backup dancers, designing dance moves, creating performance plans, or arranging specific rehearsals for the backup dancers.
What he needs to do is to set aside some time in the coming days to rehearse with his backup dancers.
This was only to be expected, and Lin Zixuan readily agreed. After all, it would only take a little over a month, and as long as he could get on the Spring Festival Gala, everything else was a minor matter.
Besides, he doesn't need to participate in all the backup dancers' rehearsals. He only needs to do some simple rehearsals with the backup dancers. The rehearsal tasks are not heavy and will not interfere with his other work.
The communication process for this year's Spring Festival Gala went much more smoothly than expected.
At noon, Lin Zixuan treated Ding Wei, the planner, and the dance choreographer to a simple lunch at a restaurant near the CCTV building.
Since it was noon and Ding Wei and his colleagues were very busy with work in the afternoon, they didn't drink alcohol, but simply strengthened their bond over a meal.
Before parting, Lin Zixuan exchanged phone numbers with them.
Next, he just has to wait for notification. He will participate once the CCTV program team has assembled the dance troupe.
For regular backup dancers, the CCTV production team can handle it in two days at most. There are too many professional dancers in Beijing who dream of performing on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
However, Lin Zixuan's dance troupe is quite special. After all, it takes a lot of time to select foreigners who represent different countries and skin colors and have professional dance skills.
Adding the review time, Ding Wei estimates it will take about one week to ten days.
However, since I've decided to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, it's not suitable to go back before the Spring Festival. I just bought a house in Beijing, so I might as well invite my parents to spend the Spring Festival in Beijing.
Back at his studio, he called both his parents to tell them about his participation in the Spring Festival Gala and invited them to Beijing for the New Year.
However, neither parent gave an immediate answer, saying they needed to go back and discuss it before replying. After all, in 2006, returning to their hometown for the Spring Festival was the tradition, and asking them to leave their hometown to spend the Spring Festival in Beijing would be too much of a shock to their values.
However, to his surprise, his parents called him at home that evening, saying that they still did not want to come to Beijing for the New Year because they had relatives there and had to visit them during the holiday.
However, they were also proud that he was able to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, and said they would definitely watch his performance on TV. They also asked him to rush home on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Seeing that her parents were so determined, Lin Zixuan did not force them. After all, times have changed and the elders have different views.
However, he still managed to persuade his parents to come to Beijing before the Spring Festival to see his newly bought house and have a few days of fun in the capital.
The timeframe is tentatively set for the winter break, since his mother is a teacher and the winter break is her most free time. His father can then take a few days of annual leave, making the time very flexible.
Chu Qingxuan was very efficient and quickly finalized the endorsement arrangements with the eight brands selected by Lin Zixuan.
Apart from Semir Apparel and Fiyta Watches, which have a two-year contract of 300 million, there are others.
The other endorsement fees range from 100 million to 120 million yuan, with a one-year endorsement contract.
Of course, Lin Zixuan signed a contract with the brand through her own studio, and the total endorsement fee of 960 million yuan will be transferred to the studio's account according to the contract.
One advantage of doing this is that these endorsement fees will be included as part of the studio's income and paid when the studio files its corporate taxes, which is more convenient and the tax rate is lower.
Furthermore, when purchasing a car or house in the name of the studio in the future, including operating costs, these expenses can be deducted from taxes.
After all, once a studio decides to sign a new artist, it's foreseeable that they will increase office space, buy cars, and hire assistants.
Moreover, she also made breakthroughs with Li Dongxue and Lu Chen.
When she promised to give them two television roles in 2007, one of which would be in the lead role.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two agreed immediately and signed the franchise agreement on the last day before New Year's Day.
Both contracts are the same: a six-year term with a 30/70 split of income, with the studio taking 70%.
However, the contract also stipulates that the revenue sharing will be adjusted appropriately as their status increases in the future.
Strictly speaking, this contract is quite suitable for Li Dongxue.
He has already gained initial fame through his role as Mo Junjie in the TV series "Someday or One Day," and is already a popular third-tier star. As long as he receives some follow-up resources, becoming a second-tier star is just around the corner.
However, this is a bit too favorable for Lu Chen. Although she starred in the hit TV series "Someday or One Day" and appeared on Happy Camp, her role in "Someday or One Day" was too small and her character was not good. She can only be considered a third-tier star.
Chu Qingxuan's original intention was to offer a 20/80 revenue split contract.
However, considering that she often provided him with a lot of emotional value, Lin Zixuan changed the contract to a 30/70 split.
Moreover, Lin Zixuan was very generous; as soon as the contract was signed, he approved 80 yuan for each of them to purchase a car.
Each person will have two vehicles, one commercial vehicle and one car, and they can decide for themselves which brand to buy.
Including housing, Lin Zixuan also approved a monthly rent of 6000 yuan for each of them, allowing them to find a decent place themselves, at least one that meets the requirements in terms of security and privacy.
Such favorable conditions naturally made Li Dongxue and Lu Chen very happy, and their sense of belonging increased greatly.
Of course, the studio will definitely not lose money. According to Chu Qingxuan's plan, after the contract is signed, she will use her connections to find them work.
Commercial performances, endorsements, magazine shoots—arrange everything that can be arranged. In short, we can't let them be idle before filming for "The Temptation to Go Home" starts.
Of course, these jobs were exactly what Li Dongxue and Lu Chen wanted.
These jobs offer both financial gain and fame, something that newcomers like them, who have just entered the entertainment industry, have always dreamed of but never had the chance to do.
Therefore, finding a good management company is indeed crucial for artists.
Moreover, her network of connections is indeed extraordinary, and the popularity of "Someday or One Day" is still going strong.
I just signed contracts with Lu Chen and Li Dongxue this morning, and this afternoon I arranged all the work for them for the three days of New Year's Day.
Each person has two commercial performances a day, so no time is wasted. Fortunately, they are all in Beijing, so there is plenty of time.
Although the commercial performance fees are not high, Li Dongxue's commercial performance fee is 4 yuan per performance, while Lu Chen's is even lower, at only 2.5 yuan per performance.
However, with more sessions, the income can be quite considerable, at least enough to cover the studio's operating costs.
In fact, during the New Year's Day period, Lin Zixuan received many invitations to perform at commercial events, and the prices were high. Unfortunately, Lin Zixuan ignored them all, saying that he needed to rest for a few days.
In her words, Lin Zixuan is the boss and can choose to rest during the New Year's Day holiday, a great time to make money, and she has no way to force him to.
Naturally, the value of the two newcomers, Lu Chen and Li Dongxue, should be fully exploited.
Of course, Lu Chen and Li Dongxue were thoroughly enjoying themselves, and they were overjoyed when they heard the announcement from the studio.
In fact, Lu Chen was extremely excited after signing the contract because the studio offered such good terms.
Of course, she naturally assumed that all of this was due to Zixuan's special care for her, and secretly resolved that she must perform well in the future to satisfy Zixuan.
Although he did not show any abnormality in the studio.
But privately, he texted Lin Zixuan to invite her to his rented apartment to celebrate the New Year together.
This New Year's Day, Xu Qing and Dong Xuan will both be filming on set and will not be able to return to Beijing.
If Lin Zixuan didn't want to live alone, he would have no choice but to find Lu Chen. However, he was worried that Lu Chen might develop inappropriate thoughts after joining his studio.
No, there is actually another person to choose from: Ms. Hu Yanyan from Sina Entertainment.
Speaking of which, Hu Yanyan has been a great help to Lin Zixuan since she was promoted.
Since the release date of "Someday or One Day" was announced, Sina Entertainment has consistently provided the most extensive coverage and promotion.
Although National Chang Sheng paid for the service, Zhou Haopeng often said that Sina Entertainment's service was the best value for money, far exceeding that of other media.
Hu Yanyan was undoubtedly behind the scenes, and it can be said that she contributed to the popularity of "Someday or One Day".
But from that time on, Lin Zixuan was always in the media spotlight, and out of caution, the two never had a chance to have a friendly chat.
Hu Yanyan had long been looking forward to having a good get-together with Lin Zixuan during the New Year's Day holiday, so they could release the passion and desires that had been building up inside them for so long.
However, Sina has a large-scale New Year's Eve event tonight, and as the deputy editor-in-chief of Sina Entertainment, she naturally cannot leave.
However, from the 1st to the 3rd, she made preparations for her trip to Li in advance, arranged a place, and made an appointment with Lin Zixuan to go to Li together.
After Lu Chen agreed to several tempting conditions, Lin Zixuan still chose to spend New Year's Eve with her.
After all, Xiao Cejing really knew how to please him, and he hadn't enjoyed her services for a long time since "Someday or One Day" became a hit.
Anyway, Lu Chen hadn't arranged any work for the studio today, so after receiving Lin Zixuan's confirmation, Lu Chen went home early.
They said it was to prepare for the evening's celebration and New Year's Eve, to give Lin Zixuan a surprise.
After get off work, Lin Zixuan, acting as a deputy, avoided the paparazzi and went to Apartment No. 1, Lu Chen's rented apartment.
As expected, there was a surprise.
The dining table was already laden with delicious dishes, which were obviously delivered from the hotel, and a bottle of red wine was also opened.
Of course, that's not the key point. The key point is that the little slut really came up with something fancy. She was wearing a sexy maid outfit that you would only see in a Japanese adult film, with nothing underneath.
After seeing Lin Zixuan enter the room and close the door, she did not rush into Lin Zixuan's arms as usual.
Instead, she gracefully walked up to him, and like a little girl, she first bent over deeply, almost causing her baby to jump out.
"Master Cong, let Chenchen serve you." After saying that, she slowly knelt down.
Lin Zixuan couldn't help but reach out and touch her hair. "Little devil, aren't you going to eat?"
The little imp kept moving and said indistinctly, "Master Cong, whatever you want to do, I'll do as you say."
Even though Lin Zixuan was already a driver, he still couldn't help but feel his temper flare up.
A cheerful and sweet song began to play.
Before the battle began, Lin Zixuan glanced at the panel in his sea of consciousness:
Name: Lin Zixuan Age: 21 (123)
人气：777533
Cultivation level: 56/100 (Mid-stage Qi Refining)
Target 1, Popularity: 713515
To Lin Zixuan's surprise, "Someday or One Day" truly lived up to its reputation as a huge hit; even a minor supporting character like Lu Chen accumulated 70 [presumably referring to a large following].
It has tens of thousands of views.
As a result, he enjoyed even more happiness.
