On the 9th, Su Yu and the others went to CCTV early in the morning.
In the morning, everyone had another dress rehearsal. This time, there was no need for a real performance, but rather to continue familiarizing themselves with the stage blocking.
When Zhang Guoshi saw Su Yu coming, he immediately walked over.
Su Yu’s stage performance was later, so there was no rush for makeup.
“Teacher Su Yu, I’m truly sorry about yesterday’s incident.” Zhang Guoshi, as one of Blue Star China’s top directors, felt a bit ashamed at this moment.
He felt that he had let down Su Yu’s trust in him, which led to yesterday’s unpleasantness.
Although the problem lay with Zhang Ping, he also felt that he was partly to blame.
“Director Zhang, what are you talking about! The project will always be reserved for you. The person I initially wanted to collaborate with was only Director Zhang! So let’s just forget about those unpleasant things.”
Su Yu smiled and waved his hand. To have a sixty-year-old artist apologize to him? Su Yu found it genuinely difficult to accept it so calmly.
And just as he said, he didn’t think it was Director Zhang’s fault.
“Still reserved for me?” Zhang Guoshi was truly stunned this time.
He had thought that because of yesterday’s incident, Su Yu would angrily give the project to a Tianxing Entertainment director to film.
This development was truly a bit unexpected.
“Yes, it has always been a small dream of mine to collaborate with Director Zhang! So how could I miss out because of an irrelevant person? Director Zhang, let’s discuss the collaboration on the third day of the Lunar New Year. For these next few days, have a good New Year!”
The smile on Su Yu’s face felt so warm to Zhang Guoshi.
He hadn’t expected that this project would still be his in the end!
If he had known this, he wouldn’t have been so angry last night that he couldn’t sleep a wink.
“Good, good! Teacher Su Yu, you also have a good New Year!” After the frown on Zhang Guoshi’s face disappeared, he smiled and nodded.
After they chatted for a few more sentences, he went to oversee the stage. After all, he was the General Director, and today he would be the busiest person.
Su Yu, on the other hand, went to his large dressing room. The singers from Tianxing Entertainment were all there at the moment, and there were no outsiders.
Ultimately, this was Su Yu’s private dressing room, and outsiders were not allowed in.
The only people with such treatment were he, Andy Lau, and some veteran artists.
Who told Su Yu and Director Zhang to have such a good relationship, and who told him to contribute ten new songs to this Spring Festival Gala.
Even if other celebrities knew about this, they could only feel envious; there was simply no way for them to be jealous.
Because for them to be on the Spring Festival Gala, it was either through their respective companies pulling strings, or by fighting their way through rounds of numerous programs.
No one was like Su Yu, who first qualified due to his strength and popularity, and then single-handedly took on half of the song-category stage productions.
Moreover, after they watched these ten song stages, they were still so breathtaking!
Their thoughts of jealousy were simply extinguished; the gap was just too immense.
For someone like Su Yu, they could either try to befriend and curry favor with him, but they absolutely must not offend him.
“Teacher Su Yu!” Seeing Su Yu enter, Chen Yixun and the others waved in greeting.
They didn’t stand up; they were all busy with their makeup.
“Everyone has worked hard during this period, but today is the last day. After tonight, everyone can go home for the New Year and rest for a few days.”
Su Yu sighed with emotion. The Spring Festival Gala rehearsals were truly grueling. Not only were there many of them, but the intensity requirements were also very high.
And the biggest factor, in fact, was the pressure!
After all, on such an important stage, everyone had to be 120% focused, fearing even the slightest mistake.
The constant mental tension was what made people feel so tired during this period.
“Alas, I can’t rest! My first concert in Yanjing is on the 14th! Rehearsals for the concert will start tomorrow, Teacher Su Yu, will you come as a special guest?”
Chen Yixun shrugged, looking like he was asking for a beating.
Among the singers present, who wouldn’t want to hold their own concert at the Bird's Nest in Yanjing?
Chen Yixun, you just benefited from joining Tianxing Entertainment earlier! Now you’re taking advantage and still acting smug! Shameless.
Only when Su Yu heard this did he remember Chen Yixun’s concert. He had been rushing with his filming schedule recently and had forgotten about it.
However, as the songwriter for his own music king’s Yanjing Bird's Nest concert, he absolutely could not be absent. As for going on stage to sing?
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll steal your thunder? That’s your concert.” Su Yu teased jokingly.
This Chen Xiaopang with the instant noodle hair, he’s been a bit too smug lately.
Su Yu could be said to be several streets ahead of Chen Xiaopang in terms of popularity, and his singing ability was in no way inferior to his!
So what Su Yu said wasn’t just a joke.
If Su Yu suddenly appeared on Chen Xiaopang’s concert stage, and the live audience immediately became his fans, wouldn’t Chen Xiaopang be embarrassed?
“All my hit songs were written by you, what am I afraid of? Your appearance on stage would give a huge surprise to my fans and music lovers, and it would also make them feel that they got their money’s worth!”
Chen Xiaopang replied without any worry.
Su Yu’s presence would only increase the concert’s value and popularity; how could it affect him?
Moreover, two consecutive Yanjing Bird's Nest concerts with 100,000 people each, he also hoped they could be more lively and grander!
After all, such opportunities would definitely not be too frequent in the future.
This time, it was also because Han Jianhua pulled some strings that he managed to get this Bird's Nest slot; otherwise, even if he were a Heavenly King, he would have to wait in line!
“Alright then, I’ll go to the venue for a rehearsal before the concert, and we can talk more then.” Su Yu nodded and agreed.
Then his gaze turned to the others, as if asking: What about you all?
“I can’t rest either. After the Spring Festival Gala, I have to fly to Maple Leaf Country. The movie is in its final stages of filming. If I hadn’t had to fly back frequently for rehearsals, the movie would have wrapped up long ago. I can’t make the crew wait for just me.”
Liu Ruyan said.
Celebrities, in order to become more popular, more famous, and earn more money, naturally have to sacrifice some of the rights of ordinary people.
After all, earning so much, and still wanting normal rest and holidays? There’s no such good thing.
However, Su Yu and the others could tell that even though Liu Ruyan was constantly traveling back and forth, she was still enjoying it.
After all, compared to being exhausted, being past one’s prime was probably the most unbearable, wasn’t it?
“Uh, my wife is pregnant, I’ll go back and accompany her for a while after the Spring Festival Gala, Brother Chen, I’m afraid I can’t make it to your concert.”
Xie Jie’s voice came through.
Everyone heard it and felt a wave of envy.
Su Yu was a bit confused. So fast? He seemed to remember it wasn’t that early, right?
Could it be the butterfly effect of him, this fluttering moth?
However, Blue Star China and Earth were different after all, and Xie Jie wasn’t actually Zhang J, so he was relieved.
And then came the congratulatory voices from everyone.
