This star just wants to learn

Under normal circumstances, unrelated people are not allowed to enter the practice room, let alone rehearsals for a vital program like the Spring Festival Gala.

Pu Tong forced himself to follow this practice room. Logically speaking, the staff could kick this kid out.

But the problem now is that they dare not...

On the one hand, he is worried about Pu Tong's status. He has a close relationship with many important figures in CCTV. They are just a group of workers, and they still have some foresight.

Of course, this is only one aspect. If they are really reasonable, it won't be easy for anyone to come. It will be a routine matter.

But the problem is, they have something up their sleeves and they are targeting someone with a program. This is really not a good thing to do.

The three staff members looked at Pu Tong intentionally or unintentionally, fearing that he would suddenly attack. What if this guy flipped the table in his youth and arrogance, and the higher-ups would blame him?

Fortunately, Pu Tong looked very calm, sitting there quietly without any intention of causing trouble, as if he was really just here to study.

"Come on, let's start practicing."

Although I don't know what this kid is here for, I can't be so frozen, and the rehearsal tasks can't be delayed.

Chen Siqing and the other three nodded, and then started acting according to the script of the skit.

They have practiced countless times under special attention these days, and now the performance has even formed an instinctive reaction and muscle memory.

Pu Tong secretly smacked his lips beside him. This performance was completely visible to the naked eye...

To be honest, for young actors like Chen Siqing and Tang Luocheng, acting in comedy and sketches is a test of acting skills and experience, let alone a Spring Festival Gala sketch?

In fact, popular celebrities have always been criticized for performing sketches, and most outsiders can't let go when they come on stage, and their acting is very fake.

Chen and Tang are not immune to this. No matter how hard they work, how easy is it to achieve the skills of a professional sketch teacher over decades?

Objectively speaking, during the Spring Festival Gala auditions, their performance was just above the passing mark. It was the excellence of the work "Selling Kidnapping" that made the performance so effective.

Pu Tong smiled unconsciously, but now, the two of them have made great progress in mastering this sketch.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and people can often develop more potential in adversity.

It seems that CCTV's deliberate targeting has achieved the result of a kind of devilish special training. Under repeated high-pressure training, the expressiveness of the sketch has gone from being barely accessible to being slightly accomplished...

Although Pu Tong laughed while watching the show, the three staff members did not take it lightly. They even became a little more panicked when they saw Pu Tong's weird behavior.

According to the usual rehearsal process, the performers of the show should ask questions and suggestions while performing, but today Pu Tong was present, and they were a little at a loss.

The three of them looked at each other in disbelief, and planned to react to the superiors. This was not the way to go.

Are they just young people? To negotiate with Pu Tong, a big shot needs to come...

"Go to the bathroom."

The middle-aged man on the side stood up awkwardly and walked out in a few steps, fearing that he would be stopped by Pu Tong. After all, he was going to "move in reinforcements."

The other two people were relieved when they found that Pu Tong had no reaction. When the director came over, the rest of the matter had nothing to do with them.

Although Pu Tong was expressionless, he felt like a mirror in his heart. The rehearsal arrangement for this skit was unreasonable and he was undoubtedly targeted by his superiors.

He didn't want to make it difficult for others to work as workers. If he wanted to communicate, he still had to talk to the manager. Now that he was calling someone, he actually agreed with him.

Tang Luocheng and Chen Siqing's skit was completed quickly. Perhaps because Pu Tong's presence gave them confidence, this performance was perfect.

The two of them looked at Pu Tong panting, and for a moment they couldn't understand the current situation. They still hoped that nothing would happen.

Not long after, the staff member who had left earlier returned to the practice room. Behind him was a smiling woman, who must be Yu Yang, the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala.

"Hello, Xiaopu."

Yu Yang smiled and shook hands with Pu Tong. She had always admired this boy, but she didn't expect that the first official meeting would be like this...

"Hello, Director Yu."

Pu Tong said hello politely. He had heard about the director from Wei Mingfeng and had a certain understanding of him.

According to Wei Mingfeng, it was he and Director Yu who jointly saved the show "Trafficking" at that time.

This made him very confused. Since the director chose to keep this show, it means that she is still very optimistic about this show, so why is she giving such special attention now?

She must be aware of things like the rehearsal schedule, and no one can skip the little tricks made by the chief director.

"Let's come out and talk..."

Yu Yang smiled and waved to him. After signaling others to continue rehearsing, she took Pu Tong out of the door.

She was shocked when the staff came to look for her in a hurry. Fortunately, this kid was still reasonable.

Pu Tong followed her, wondering what the director wanted to say when he called him out alone.

"Some people in the discussion group didn't like the skit, and that's true."

Her first sentence confirmed Pu Tong's guess. The voting results during the audition for the program were very different at that time. Naturally, some people did not want to see the program.

Even if the show is retained now, this group of people definitely still don’t want it to successfully appear on the Spring Festival Gala.

They are not outright bad guys, they just feel that this show does not fit in with the sketch style of the past two years and is more about stability.

"So, is it their intention to focus on "Trafficking"?"

Yu Yang nodded.

It is difficult to unify two opposing views. Each has its own reasons for support and opposition, and no one can convince the other.

There is only one way to make those who oppose this skit admit defeat, and that is to slap them in the face with the data after the Spring Festival Gala!

"So, you also agreed with the behavior of the show they targeted?"

Yu Yang is the chief director of the show, so she must be aware of these details about the rehearsal, but obviously, she did not stop them.

He didn't think that Director Yu was helping others, she must have other motives for doing this.

"Yes, I know that the rehearsals arranged by those old fogies for the "Trafficking" team are very heavy, but I approved it."

Yu Yang's expression was calm, and he did not show any guilt.

"After watching the performance just now, you will definitely understand that they have made great progress during this period, which shows that additional training is very effective."

Pu Tong nodded when he heard this. This is indeed true. Compared with the audition stage, they are more comfortable now.

"If I don't agree to the additional training for "Selling Kidneys", they might switch to other ways to criticize. Instead of letting them stumble in other places, it's better to accept the simplest one."

Yu Yang's smile is thought-provoking, with a bit of a trick-or-treating vibe.

In her opinion, although the script of this sketch is good, the performances of several of them are not mature. It may be enough to get on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala with a funny plot, but it is obviously not enough to become a classic.

The skit's upper limit was much higher than that, so she agreed to this arrangement, which not only prevented those with prejudices from finding fault with it, but also allowed the show to grow.

The reason for arranging additional training is precisely because she values ​​this program, not because of it.

"Of course, such intensive care will not last. After their rehearsals have achieved significant results, additional training will be unnecessary."

Pu Tong then breathed a sigh of relief. It would be a good thing if he practiced more because he was optimistic about it, as long as he didn't deliberately target it.

Moreover, in order to save the show, one person said, "He will bear the consequences alone."

Whether it is Wei Mingfeng or Director Yu, they are full of expectations for this show. Because of this, they should make more efforts.

"Thanks."

If this show hadn't met them both, I'm afraid it would really have been buried.

"Honestly, these eight programs of yours... I don't know how to direct them."

Yu Yang suddenly changed the topic and chatted with Pu Tong. The director's job was to guide and adjust the programs, but the programs Pu Tong brought were so mature that she didn't know how to start.

Pu Tong scratched his head in embarrassment. These programs have all been on the Spring Festival Gala and have been tested by the general public. They are definitely more complete than other programs.

This is the advantage of using the finished program directly. As long as your proficiency is not high, you can start it directly without even modifying it.

"You will personally supervise these eight programs of yours. I trust your judgment." Yu Yang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You make your own decisions about your programs."

"ah?"

Pu Tong was stunned for a moment. Didn't he come to rehearse the program? Why did he become the program director part-time? Isn't this right?

"Ah, what? You weren't in the rehearsal schedule to begin with. You like running around anyway, so why not do something serious?"

Since he has a clear judgment on his program, it would be better to let him take over it personally, and the effect might be better.

Pu Tong originally wanted to resist, but then he thought it would be a good idea to let him be responsible for the supervision of these eight programs.

If it were left to others to change these classics beyond recognition, he would definitely not agree.

After Yu Yang left, he returned to the practice room of the sketch "Selling Kidnappers", but this time, he was justified.

"I, Pu Tong, program director."
