Chapter 255: The High Box Office of "The Battle at Lake Changjin 2"!

Overall, the news that Song Hao would direct the Spring Festival Gala has sparked widespread public attention and heated discussion.

People reacted differently, with both supporters and opponents, demonstrating the difficulty of pleasing everyone.

At the same time, Song Hao received a call from Chen Daoming.

Chen Daoming's opening remarks were very direct; he frankly expressed that he hadn't expected Song Hao to agree to direct the Spring Festival Gala.

Song Hao smiled easily at Chen Daoming's surprise and explained that he had nothing else to do recently, so he agreed to direct this project.

He believes that as a Chinese person, having the opportunity to direct the Spring Festival Gala is a rare experience and an honor.

At the same time, Song Hao also said that directing the Spring Festival Gala this time was also an attempt for him, and he hoped to create a miracle.

"Young man, I have full confidence in you and believe that you will definitely create miracles, and this time will be no exception. I also have high expectations for this year's Spring Festival Gala and want to see what kind of grand occasion it will bring."

Just after hanging up Yang Jianhua's call, Ni Ni walked into the office and couldn't help but ask Song Hao, "Are you really going to direct the Spring Festival Gala?"

Song Hao shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about the issue.

"The Spring Festival Gala has already been officially announced, so the answer is yes."

Ni Ni looked at Song Hao and asked curiously, "Although the Spring Festival Gala has generally not received much attention in previous years, this year, because you took on the job of directing, it has already attracted widespread attention and discussion online."

I believe that the Spring Festival Gala will receive a great deal of attention on the day of the Spring Festival.

If you successfully complete the directing of the Spring Festival Gala, it will be a powerful testament to your abilities, gain you more support from netizens, and even attract a group of older fans.

However, if you fail to meet people's expectations, you may face countless criticisms and accusations.

Success or failure makes a huge difference; it's either heaven or hell.

In my opinion, you already have a certain level of fame and status, so why risk venturing into unknown territory?

Ni Ni and Song Hao's relationship is now like that of a couple.

So she was genuinely thinking of Song Hao's best interests.

Song Hao said, "If no one does it, then the Spring Festival Gala will really be meaningless."

Hearing this, Ni Ni finally agreed, saying, "Okay, then if you need any help from me, just let me know."

"Of course I will," Song Hao said cheerfully.

On the second day of preparations for the Spring Festival Gala, Song Hao threw himself into the work.

This time, he chose to take it on alone without seeking help from others.

He led his team and spent three days finalizing the main venue for the Spring Festival Gala.

To make this year's Spring Festival Gala more attractive, Song Hao thought deeply about how to innovate.

He pondered how to present a novel Spring Festival Gala to young people while preserving traditional elements.

As Song Hao's fame gradually spread, many well-known singers and crosstalk/sketch comedy actors took the initiative to contact him, hoping to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Song Hao's attitude is very clear: he values ​​an actor's character and ability more than their fame.

All actors need to undergo his personal assessment and selection to ensure the high quality of the Spring Festival Gala.

the other side.

During its month-long run, "The Battle at Lake Changjin" surpassed the box office figures of many other films.

It was finally released more than two months later.

The box office figure was 101 billion.

This data is even more terrifying than the first part of the Chosin Reservoir series.

"The data from the Battle of Chosin Reservoir is simply terrifying."

"Actually, this movie played an important role in patriotic education, so it's normal that it had a high box office."

"I was fortunate enough to participate in this 100 billion project."

"It's a pity that it can't surpass Titanic and Avatar in terms of global box office."

"After all, these two international blockbusters are released globally, which means they have a very large audience. Films like 'The Battle at Lake Changjin' are only suitable for our East Asian region."

Meanwhile, on Song Hao's side...

Aside from keeping an eye on the final box office of "The Battle at Lake Changjin", he focused all his attention on the arrangement of the Spring Festival Gala.

He wants to ensure that the content of the program is compliant with regulations.

You won't see any inappropriate elements in the program schedule.

However, if those in the know examine the program carefully, they will find that there are many new faces this year, no longer the familiar routines of the past.

At the same time, Song Hao also incorporated many novel elements.

Once the program schedule is finalized, Song Hao will send it to Director He of CCTV.

CCTV will soon officially announce its program schedule.

The program list for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala has been officially finalized.

Below the post is a striking and festive program list.

Generally speaking, not many people would pay attention to this news.

However, this year's situation is different.

Song Hao's fans are like those waiting for this year's program schedule to be announced; they've been keeping a close eye on the news feed.

The post garnered significant attention, with the hashtag #SpringFestivalGalaProgramList# quickly topping the trending topics list and attracting widespread attention.

After seeing the program schedule, netizens expressed their opinions and expectations.

"Compared to previous years, this year's program list does not seem to have changed much."

"At first glance, the program list for this year's Spring Festival Gala seems no different from previous years. However, the performers participating in the Spring Festival Gala are all household names and big names. The character of each person has been tested and scrutinized. The lineup of this year's Spring Festival Gala can be said to be stronger than ever before."

"This is the first time since I grew up that I've looked forward to the Spring Festival Gala so much. I felt relieved when I saw that Director Song's program was on the program list. Now that we have a new TV, I can sit at home with my parents to watch the Spring Festival Gala, eat sunflower seeds, and chat. It's a wonderful thing. I want to spend more time with them now that I have the time."

"I'm really looking forward to this year's Spring Festival Gala! The performers on the program are all my idols; they are not only incredibly talented but also of high moral character. There are up-and-coming young actors, veteran artists, and the highly respected Director Song. I plan to go home a few days early to spend quality time with my parents and watch the Gala together. It would be such a wonderful experience to hear Director Song sing! This festive spirit is something I haven't felt in so long!"

"Over the years, the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival has gradually faded. But this year, after seeing the program list for the Spring Festival Gala, I felt the strong festive spirit again. In this era of widespread electronic devices, we sometimes overlook the significance of traditional customs and family reunions. Director Song, as the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, has helped us rediscover what we have lost. Thank you, Director Song, for letting us feel the atmosphere of the New Year again."

The festive atmosphere online is growing stronger, with netizens sending out New Year's greetings videos in advance, creating a rich New Year's atmosphere.

New Year's Eve is fast approaching.

The official broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala is imminent, and it has to be announced.

The last three days before New Year's Eve.

The employees of Guoteng Media have also officially started their annual leave. Except for those colleagues who have important tasks in the Spring Festival Gala, the rest have returned home to enjoy time with their families.

As Lunar New Year's Eve approaches, rehearsals for the main venue and other branch venues of the Spring Festival Gala are proceeding smoothly.

Most of the program has been completed, but some details still need further refinement.

Ni Ni walked in backstage at the main venue of the Spring Festival Gala; he had come to visit Song Hao.

Song Hao stared intently at the performance on stage, constantly giving instructions: "Camera number two, switch to platform number one." Only after a rehearsal was finished and the actors left the stage did Song Hao turn his gaze away from the screen. At that moment, he noticed Ni Ni's presence.

"What are you doing here? Isn't the company on holiday? Didn't you go home?" Song Hao asked, somewhat surprised.

“I haven’t reported to you about my work yet, how can I go home with peace of mind?” Ni Ni said. “I told you before that I would accompany you and support you.”

"The Spring Festival Gala hasn't even started yet. If I go back, wouldn't I be considered a deserter?" Song Hao shook his head with a smile.

"It seems that this year's Spring Festival Gala will definitely go smoothly." "There's nothing for you to do here anyway."

"Why not go home early, go grocery shopping with your family, and have a lively reunion dinner at home on New Year's Eve? Just don't forget to watch the Spring Festival Gala."

"As long as you can sit in front of the TV and watch the Spring Festival Gala, that's enough for me."

After saying this, Song Hao reminded him, "It's been several years since you've been home for Lunar New Year's Eve."

Upon hearing Song Hao's words, Ni Ni fell silent.

Indeed, she hasn't spent Lunar New Year's Eve at home for several years.

She finally nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll go home now. I wish you success on the Spring Festival Gala."

"it is good."

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Lunar New Year's Eve finally arrived amidst everyone's eager anticipation.

On this day, every household is busy preparing dumplings to welcome the New Year.

Just after noon, many families have already begun preparing for their New Year's Eve dinner.

As evening approached, Zhong Jiahui and his parents were busy in the kitchen of a family in the community, preparing a sumptuous meal.

The television was playing some uninteresting programs; the Spring Festival Gala had not yet started.

Just as Zhong Jiahui placed a plate of four-happiness meatballs on the dining table, his phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was Yang Xujie calling.

He knew the purpose of Yang Xujie's call, so he did not answer immediately.

Yang Xujie's voice came through the phone. He asked, "Liangzi, how's the New Year's Eve dinner preparation going? When will it be finished?"

Zhong Jiahui did not answer directly, but simply told Yang Xujie, "I'm not going out tonight, I'll stay home."

Yang Xujie laughed dismissively after hearing this, "What's so great about the Spring Festival Gala? I haven't watched it for years."

Zhong Jiahui sighed and continued, "Actually, watching the Spring Festival Gala isn't the main thing. It's because Director Song directing the Gala reminds me of when I was a child, every New Year's Eve, I would stay up very late with my parents and fall asleep amidst laughter and joy."

Yang Xujie was still not giving up after hearing this: "You really kept it at home?"

Zhong Jiahui replied, "Yes, I want to spend New Year's Eve with my family."

"Looking back now, it's been so many years since we watched the Spring Festival Gala together with our parents."

"Isn't Lunar New Year's Eve a day for family reunion?"

"You can play cards anytime, but time spent with family is precious."

"Never mind, I'll play with you guys on New Year's Day. I really won't go out tonight, so I can have a couple of drinks with Dad."

Zhong Jiahui spoke very seriously, and Yang Xujie on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, Yang Xujie finally spoke:

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be so sentimental now."

"Hearing what you said makes me miss my parents too."

"Okay, in that case, I'll go back to my parents' house for the Chinese New Year. Luckily, my parents and I live in the same city."

"You're right, you can play cards anytime, but there's only one New Year's Eve a year."

"I'm hanging up now, I need to get ready and then call my buddies back."

the other side.

In the Jindi Mingzhu residential community.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Lu Guangkun finished cooking the last dish and called his parents to eat.

"Mom and Dad, stop busy, dinner is ready," Lu Guangkun said. "This year's New Year's Eve dinner is very sumptuous."

By this time, Mr. and Mrs. Lu had almost finished tidying up the house.

Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, Lu's father couldn't hide his smile.

"I never imagined that one day I would be able to eat the New Year's Eve dinner cooked by you," said Mr. Lu. "Back home, whenever your mother was around, you were never this diligent."

Lu Guangkun scratched his head and replied embarrassedly, "Oh dear, I was really immature before, and I would get lazy as soon as I got home. This year I wanted to behave well and make up for your kindness in raising me."

Lu's mother was also very happy. She glared at Lu's father and said, "Aren't all children like this? Who doesn't become lazy when they get home?"

Lu Guangkun sat down with his parents to enjoy dinner, the three of them a warm and harmonious family.

However, Lu Guangkun's phone suddenly rang, breaking the tranquility.

Mr. and Mrs. Lu exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a sense of helplessness.

They knew perfectly well that the call was likely from Lu Guangkun's friend inviting him out.

Lu Guangkun answered the phone and turned on the hands-free function.

"Hey, Ryoko, what's up?"

Duan Jinliang's voice came through the phone.

"Xiao Xu, have you finished eating? Let's go get a couple of drinks after you finish," Duan Jinliang suggested.

Lu Guangkun, with food in his mouth, mumbled a reply: "I'm eating right now. You don't need to wait for me tonight. I won't go out. I'll just stay home and keep Mom and Dad company."

Duan Jinliang was somewhat surprised to hear Lu Guangkun's words. "What?"

Not only Duan Jinliang, but also Lu's father and mother listened with disbelief.

Then, expressions of surprise appeared on their faces, as if they had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Which parent doesn't want their child to spend more time with them?

However, as children grow up, they encounter more and more people and things around them, including friends, colleagues, and even future partners. Their social network expands, and their time naturally becomes more scattered.

In particular, time spent with parents often becomes scarce.

Lu's parents originally thought that Lu Guangkun would go out to play again on New Year's Eve, but the result was beyond their expectations.

Lu Guangkun swallowed the food in his mouth and said to Duan Jinliang, "Today I'm staying home with my parents and watching the Spring Festival Gala with them."

"Such opportunities may become increasingly rare in the future, so we should cherish them even more."

After a moment of silence, Duan Jinliang responded, "When you mentioned the Spring Festival Gala, it reminded me of how I celebrated the New Year when I was a child, and it made me feel a bit sentimental."

"You're right, we should indeed cherish our time and spend more time watching the Spring Festival Gala with our parents."

Lu Guangkun smiled and said, "Good that you understand."

"Moreover, this year's Spring Festival Gala is directed by Director Song, so it's bound to be very interesting."

After Lu Guangkun hung up the phone, his father still asked uncertainly, "Are you really not planning to go out tonight?"

"Yeah, Dad, let's have a couple of drinks tonight."

Hearing this, the two elderly people smiled happily.

Soon, the Spring Festival Gala, which everyone has been eagerly anticipating, will finally be here.

This year's Spring Festival Gala, directed by Song Hao, has attracted a lot of attention.
