Chapter 248 Go through fire and water, Teacher Fang

Chapter 248 Go through fire and water, Teacher Fang
It was a very cold day and the wind was biting.

At the gate of the Bayi Factory, there was a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes. The vendor was wearing a dog-skin hat, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, breathing out hot air.

"Let's go, sir!"

Chen Peisi was chewing on a hot sweet potato with two in his hands when he returned to the factory and ran into Zhu Shimao who was in a hurry.

"Pei Si, I finally found you!"

"Lao Mao, you came at the right time. Try this sweet potato..."

"Don't eat yet, the factory manager asked us to go to the office quickly."

"Why does the factory manager want to see me? I haven't been in any trouble recently."

Chen Peisi had a puzzled look on his face, his eyebrows moving up and down.

The two of them trotted all the way to the factory director's office, knocked on the door and entered, they saw two people sitting opposite the factory director, one was a stranger, and the other looked very familiar, speaking in dialect.

"Come on, let me introduce myself."

Wang Yang smiled and said, "This is Liu Di, the director of the Arts Department of Yanjing Television Station. I don't need to introduce him any further, right?"

"Teacher Fang!"

Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao were very surprised.

"How is it, Director Liu?"

Fang Yan shook hands with them and turned to look at Liu Di.

"Teacher Fang, I'm fine."

Liu Di gave a meaningful smile.

Zhu Shimao was completely confused until he heard the explanation in dialect that Yanjing Television was going to hold a Spring Festival Gala and had invited himself and Liu Xiaoqing, the screen couple from "The Shepherd", to be the co-hosts.

"host?"

Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao looked at each other.

Liu Di explained a little bit, and the factory director added, "Going to the radio station is a good training opportunity for you, and it will also make more audiences like you. The factory will definitely support it, but it depends on your personal willingness."

"Well, I have no objection! Thank you, Director!"

Zhu Shimao was very excited. Ever since joining the Bayi Film Studio, his career had hit a bottleneck. Although he received audition invitations from other films every now and then, the film studios basically did not agree to second him.

After all, the Bayi Film Studio is the only military film studio.

The discipline is extremely strict, just like military discipline!
Chen Peisi couldn't help but wonder why the factory director was so easy to talk to today. He said he would second me and I was assigned to a position right away. It wasn't like this before!

"Instead of thanking me, you should thank Teacher Fang and Director Liu." The factory director and Fang Yan looked at each other and smiled.

"Cough cough!"

Chen Peisi pretended to cough to highlight his presence.

They asked Zhu Shimao to be the host, so why did they ask me to be the host? Could it be that they also asked me to be the host?

Hey! With my looks, I can be a TV host!
"I heard from your factory manager that when you two are not acting, you often perform some pretty interesting skits in the rehearsal room."

Dialect looks left and right.

"That's right, Mr. Fang. It's called "Examination of Actors."

Facing this great benefactor, Zhu Shimao spoke frankly.

"Can you perform for me and Director Liu?"

Fangyan said that Yanjing Television is collecting programs for the Spring Festival Gala.

"Sure, Teacher Fang!"

Chen Peisi suddenly realized, so they wanted him to perform?
Why don't you ask me to be the host?
Just look at a face like mine, one only appears once every few thousand years!
…………

"Teacher Fang, I'll see you off."

Fangyan left the office with the factory director seeing him off.

Chen Peisi was leading the way through the long corridor. Finally, he couldn't help asking, "Teacher Fang, how did you convince the factory director to agree to second us to Yanjingtai?"

"This is all thanks to Teacher Fang."

Liu Di said that the factory director initially disagreed in every way until Fang Yan offered the film adaptation of "Operation Sword" as a deal.

Trade them the script! ?
Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao were shocked at first, and then moved.

"Teacher Fang, thank you, we..."

"If you really want to thank me, you guys should perform harder later and don't let us down."

Fangyan waved his hand.

In fact, it's just going with the flow.

I originally planned to hand "Operation Sword" over to Shanghai Film Studio, but Shanghai Film Studio already had "The Garland under the Mountain", so it would be better to adapt the novel and hand it over to the August 2000st Film Studio, which is the best at military themes among all the national film studios, and I could also earn nearly yuan in royalties.

One step closer to more than 9000 paintings!
"Go through fire and water, Teacher Fang!"

Zhu Shimao nodded solemnly.

Everyone came to the empty small rehearsal room, and after a brief warm-up, Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi began to perform the skit.

The skits at this time were very different from those later.

Initially, it was just an interview question prepared by drama schools such as the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy for applicants. It might be class assignments or final tests during school, and it would basically not be taken out for public performance.

Therefore, it was not intended to be funny or entertaining at the beginning.

It was only since the performance of "Eating Noodles" by Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao that sketches gradually became a new form of comedy.

And "Eating Noodles" is just a segment in "Examination of Actor".

"Noodles, just the right amount of saltiness."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Wait for me for a moment!"

Watching the two people's performance, Liu Di's mouth corners couldn't help but rise.

Fang Yan said: "How do you feel?"

"Teacher Fang, this is so funny and interesting."

Liu Di felt that there had never been a program of this type in the evening party, and it was very worth trying to enrich the content.

"but……"

Then he changed the subject and talked about the problem.

The performance of "Examination of Actors" was too long, a good twenty to thirty minutes, and what was even worse was that there was only an outline but no standard words.

The content of the show depends entirely on the improvisation of Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao. There is no script, and it is all improvisation. This kind of show, which is full of uncertainty, will most likely not be performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

"This this……"

When Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao heard this, they stopped what they were doing. It was like a basin of cold water was poured over them, extinguishing their enthusiasm.

"Writing the outline, editing the lines, polishing the script, and rehearsing will probably take about a month." Liu Di said with some regret, "Teacher Fang, there is only about a month left before the recording at the station."

"That's easy. There are too many words to come up with." Fang Yan said, "Why not just do a pantomime skit?"

"A pantomime skit?!"

Zhu Shimao and the other two had never heard of this and were shocked.

Chen Peisi found it interesting and asked, "What should I play?"

"Just play the two of you, eating wontons at a wonton stand."

Fangyan said that this was what he saw with his own eyes.

A neat and clean man with a mysophobia, who was timid and fearful, met a nervous and strong man while eating at a wonton stall. He used up all the pepper powder he brought with him. In a rage, he put away the empty bottle and left the stall...

"Oh, I see!"

Chen Peisi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhu Shimao asked: "What do you understand?"

"After all the fuss, the big man mistakenly thought that the pepper powder was public property. He thought that the man had stolen a public bottle, so he followed suit and took away a large public bowl." Chen Peisi grinned, "Teacher Fang, tell me, am I right?"

"You understand well."

Fang Yan turned to look at Liu Di, "As for the waiter, Comrade Liu Xiaoqing will play the role. Can the three of you put together such a program in more than 20 days?"

Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao looked at each other and said confidently:
"can!"

"Director Liu, what do you think?"

Fang Yan turned his head and looked at Liu Di.

Liu Di said that if it can really be completed in more than 20 days and passes the final round of review by Yanjing TV, it can of course be recorded.

"Teacher Fang, what is the name of this program?"

Chen Peisi was eager to try and couldn't wait to seriously study this form of performance that he had never encountered before.

Fang Yan said, "Let's settle on Pepper Noodles for now."

Zhu Shimao said in embarrassment: "Teacher Fang, that suit..."

"It's been reported in the news that people are encouraged to wear suits. We are also actively responding and promoting this through this program."

Fangyan smiled.

"But I-I don't have a suit."

Zhu Shimao was in great trouble.

"I see that your height and build are quite similar to mine."

Fangyan simply lent him his suit.

"Teacher Fang, how can this be so embarrassing? You have already helped Comrade Liu Xiaoqing and the others solve the clothing problem."

Liu Di took on the job with great confidence.

"OK then."

Fang Yan worked as a guiding consultant and artistic director for Yanjing Television not just for the allowance and fame.

Instead, it advertises its own clothing business.

At that time, Liu Xiaoqing will appear on the Yanjing TV Spring Festival Gala wearing a festive red "An Ran suit", which is a disguised soft-implementation of an advertisement.

Moreover, because Han Yuemin's sponsorship was free of charge, Yanjing Television returned the favor by preparing to do a follow-up news report on the Spring Festival Gala, reporting that the clothes worn by Liu Xiaoqing and others came from Han Yuemin's tailor shop.

By then, if a few newspapers publicize it, it will be difficult for the "Enron Clothes" stored in the warehouse to have no market.

It will be hard for the garment business not to be popular in the future.

50% of Han Yuemin's clothing business belongs to him.

…………

After leaving the Bayi Factory, the two went straight to the Shichahai Sports School.

Notify Wu Bin and bring the martial arts team including Wu Jing to show the unique skills to Yanjing TV Station!

I ran all day in the cold winter and was exhausted.

After the two separated, Fang Yan went to Han Yuemin's house for a meal, and at the same time discussed how to make good use of the publicity of the Spring Festival Gala.

"Gulu gulu."

There was steam coming out of the copper pot.

Seeing her brother wolfing down the food, Fang Hong said, "Yanzi, why didn't you call before you came? This is all we have at home. Is it enough? If not, I'll go buy you something else."

"Enough! Enough!"

Fangyan: Eat a bite of cabbage and you will feel warm all over.

"Yanzi, you said you would help Yanjing TV organize the Spring Festival Gala. How is it going?" Fang Hong put some meat in his bowl. "What programs are there? Can you tell me and your brother-in-law about them?"

Han Yuemin listened to the whole show, including dance, opera, skits, and martial arts. He was especially surprised and delighted when he heard that Ma Sanli was invited to the crosstalk show. "You even invited this guy?"

"No."

Fang Yan laughed and said, "CCTV has recruited Ma Ji, Jiang Kun and others, so I thought, why not just give them a super-generation bonus!"

"Super seniority?"

When Han Yuemin and Fang Hong heard the word "generation", they immediately laughed out loud and rolled over with joy. "

"The biggest problem now is still the song."

Fangyan shook his head and couldn't help laughing.

Helping Yanjing TV to find songs and competing with one's own songs is simply outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme!
"Did you find it?"

Fang Hong was very curious.

Fang Yan said: "No."

Han Yuemin said, "Yanzi, don't you have any songs with lyrics already written?"

"Even if there is, it's too late in time."

Fang Yan said: "You must find a suitable composer to compose the music first, and then choose a suitable singer, unless the music already exists..."
