The longed-for village system

Chapter 490 Personally Inviting

Those present were all intelligent people, and they naturally understood what Director Chen was doing. He was preparing to personally invite Chen Qing to join their program, but they were not surprised at all.

Director Chen has a high status in this industry, but there is still a gap between him and Brother Chen. With Brother Chen's current status, they wouldn't be surprised if he were to join the Tianen Gate.

"Okay! I'll send a message to Brother Chen first."

Ya Ya thought about it for a moment and agreed. Mainly, she really wanted to pick up Brother Chen at the airport, and she reluctantly agreed because Director Chen had her man's private number.

Soon after the two left, everyone learned that Director Chen had personally invited Chen Qing to the party. This caused a renewed sense of unease among the crowd, who had initially thought the program was confirmed, fearing that Chen Qing might cancel their performance.

No one thought Chen Qing was unqualified to participate in CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. With his previous popularity, he was qualified. The reason he wasn't invited was because the director knew that Chen Qing wouldn't easily leave his village. Now, thanks to the special medicine, Chen Qing's popularity is even more terrifying. No one would object to his participation.

Now, even saying a bad word about Chen Qing online can get you drowned in a sea of ​​criticism, so if he's really replaced, they'll just have to suffer in silence.

Meanwhile, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu's plane finally landed at Daxing Airport after a three-hour flight. Chen Qing checked his phone and saw a message from Ya Ya. He turned to Zhao Xiaogu and said, "Ya Ya already knows we're coming to Beijing. She and Director Chen are coming to pick us up. Let's wait for her!"

Chen Qing knew why Director Chen Yimou had followed him; he must have come to invite him to the Spring Festival Gala after learning that Chen Qing was in Beijing. He didn't expect that Chen Yimou would still be so persistent less than two days before the gala started.

"Director Chen? Director Chen Yimou?" Zhao Xiaogu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "It seems Director Chen is still not giving up! Let's go to the VIP lobby and wait for Yaya to come over!"

After parking their car, Ya Ya and director Chen Yimou went directly to the VIP lobby. Although they hadn't taken a flight, given their fame and the fact that the staff knew about Ya Ya and Chen Qing's relationship, the security personnel politely let them through.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Gu, we finally meet again. I hope you won't take offense at my unannounced visit this time." Chen Yimou greeted Chen Qing with a smile as soon as he saw him, apologized, and then got straight to the point: "I think you know the purpose of my visit, Xiao Chen. I wonder if you could spare some time to attend our Spring Festival Gala."

"Director Chen, let's get in the car first! We can talk about anything in the car."

After all, there are other first-class passengers waiting in the VIP lounge, and it's not very convenient for them to talk here.

After getting on the bus, Zhao Xiaogu and Ya Ya very consciously gave up the two front seats to make it easier for the two of them to talk, while they sat in the back seat and talked quietly, but their attention was more focused on Chen Qing.

Personally, they also hoped that Chen Qing could appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage. After all, the Spring Festival Gala stage has special significance and emotional value for the Chinese people. Although it wouldn't help their man's popularity much, it was still a symbol!

If he were in the Mushroom House now and asked to make a special trip out of the village, Chen Qing would definitely refuse without hesitation. However, now that he has left the village and is in the capital, he doesn't care whether he goes on stage to sing a song or not.

"Director Chen, perhaps we should just forget about it! There's not much time left before the gala starts, and your program lineup has already been confirmed, so it wouldn't be good for me to insert myself at the last minute." Chen Qing hesitated slightly but ultimately refused. It wasn't that he lacked confidence in completing the song production and performance in the next two days, but rather that he knew that if he joined, it would inevitably lead to the cancellation of another program, which would be unfair to the guests who had rehearsed for months.

However, Chen Yimou was clearly very determined. He immediately responded to Chen Qing's reason for refusing, saying, "We are not worried about what you said at all. Not to mention that there are still two days left, I believe you can perform perfectly even tonight. As for the other people's programs, Xiao Chen, you can rest assured."

“We won’t touch other people’s programs. We can adjust them to speed up the process. We can shorten the time for the host’s talk segment. This is very simple for us professional hosts.”

Chen Yimou understood Chen Qing's personality to some extent. He was probably worried that Chen Qing's appearance would push other guests off the show. As long as this issue was resolved and Chen Qing was put at ease, the chances of success would be very high.

Of course, his arrangement was well thought out. Reducing the host's interview time is relatively easy and simple for the host. Even on a stage like the Spring Festival Gala, it is not difficult to carve out time for a song.

Fearing that Chen Qing would refuse again, Chen Yimou didn't wait for Chen Qing's reply and directly instructed his assistant, "Let's go to the venue first and show Xiao Chen around the stage."

Seeing this, Chen Qing could only smile and did not object further. He could see from the rearview mirror that both Ya Ya and Zhao Xiaogu wanted him to participate, especially Ya Ya, who was almost ready to persuade him.

Logically, non-performing guests are not allowed to enter, but because Chen Yimou led the way, and Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu are both household names, they didn't even need to swipe their access cards to get in.

"Am I seeing things? It's Brother Chen and Goddess Xiao Gu! Why is Brother Chen here? Does he have a performance for this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

"You didn't see wrong, I also saw Brother Chen and Goddess Xiao Gu. No wonder Director Chen left in such a hurry, it turns out he went to pick up Brother Chen from his flight. Sure enough, only Brother Chen gets this kind of treatment."

After watching the group enter the venue, the two security guards immediately started discussing it. If it weren't for the agreement, they would definitely tell everyone the good news right now: Brother Chen will be participating in CCTV's Spring Festival Gala this year.

The guests in the venue turned their attention to Chen Yimou when they saw him return with his entourage. When they saw Chen Qing's face, they knew the result, but they didn't know that the program would be canceled. Everyone became uneasy.

The four hosts, Zhu Xun, Li Sisi, Nick, and Xiao Sa, immediately went up to greet them. Zhu Xun and Xiao Sa hugged Chen Qing lightly, while Li Sisi and Nick shook hands with Chen Qing. However, Li Sisi's beautiful face showed a hint of surprise.

"Hello Brother Chen, I am Li Sisi. I am your fan. I finally met my idol in person today."

"Hello, it's nice to meet you," Chen Qing replied with a polite smile.
