Director, please respect yourself

Ma Dong had done his homework before coming!

On December 20, 2010, Mango TV invited Yang Hao to participate in the New Year's Eve concert hosted by it. The reward was 1 million yuan for 3 songs. Yang Hao refused because he had no time.

Later, Mango TV raised the price to 2 million yuan for three songs, but Yang Hao still didn't agree!

On December 23, 2010, Blueberry TV invited Yang Hao to participate in its New Year's Eve concert. The reward was 1.5 million yuan for three songs. Yang Hao refused because he had no time!

On December 25, 2010, Lychee TV invited Yang Hao to participate in the New Year's Eve concert hosted by it. The reward was 1.8 million yuan for three songs. Yang Hao also refused because he had no time.

If other singers refuse the TV station's invitation because they don't have time, Ma Dong believes that this is a bid. As long as your TV station can raise the remuneration and treatment a little bit, I can probably agree.

However, Yang Hao definitely has no time!

As a film director, Yang Hao wants to film; as a writer, Yang Hao wants to write novels. Before others could react, he created a science fiction novel "The Fifth Season", which has been published by Orbit Publishing House in the United States a few days ago. Published, the first printing of 200,000 copies was sold out within a week, and is currently printing additional copies. It is said that the number of additional copies printed this time is 500,000 copies...

Apart from anything else, in fact, the sales of 200,000 copies alone has set a record for the highest sales of novels written in English by Chinese people abroad.

Moreover, I also heard that Yang Hao is currently translating the classic science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem" by domestic science fiction author Liu Cixin...

But even though he knew Yang Hao was so busy, Ma Dong still came over.

no way!

This is required by the leaders above.

"Gangnam Style" has become popular all over the world. The world-famous football star Beckham, the world-famous basketball star Kobe Bryant, O'Neal, the world's most famous singer Ricky Martin, Shakira, Madonna and even the president of the United States have all released it publicly. If you imitate and perform this song under certain circumstances, then as the most important TV program in China [Spring Festival Gala], wouldn’t it be a bit unreasonable if Yang Hao was not invited to come and sing this song? !

The leader's request is an order.

As one of the three major directors of the 2011 Spring Festival Gala, Ma Dong immediately came to the filming site of the movie "Meghan" as soon as he received the order from his leader.

At the filming scene, Ma Dong had been here before because he had a good relationship with Gong Li. When Gong Li celebrated her birthday some time ago, Ma Dong came with several friends to celebrate her birthday.

But at this moment, Gong Li's villa has completely changed its appearance. The garage that could originally park three cars has been transformed into a large studio.

There are lathes, saws, grinders, welding machines, blowers, film blowing machines... Ma Dong even discovered a huge robot in the studio.

The color of the robot is red and black. From a distance, it looks majestic. There are currently several people who look like scientific researchers using remote controls to conduct final debugging on the robot. It is estimated that the debugging is completed. The movie "Megan" You can start shooting.

Yang Hao is busy.

Yang Hao was busy arranging camera positions with the photographer. Perhaps because there was only one robot, Yang Hao asked the photographer to arrange multiple camera positions to perfectly capture the entire fight between the robots at once.

Ma Dong is very patient.

After all, I came here to ask for help.

He stood outside the garage-turned-studio, looking at the busy crew of "Meghan" with a smile on his face.

As long as I don't cross the cordon, as long as I don't disturb your filming, then there will be no problem.

While Ma Dong was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Yang Hao walking out of the studio after communicating with photographer Zhang Jiarui.

"Hello, Teacher Ma Dong!"

"Oh, hello, Yang Hao."

Seeing Yang Hao reaching out to him, Ma Dong immediately stretched out his hands to greet him.

"I came here very presumptuously without calling you beforehand. I hope Director Yang Hao doesn't mind."

"No no!"

Looking at his watch, Yang Hao saw that there was still some time, so he and Ma Dong walked to the door of the villa courtyard.

Outside the door of the small courtyard, there are several simple tables and more than 20 chairs. There are tea and coffee on the tables. It is a temporary resting place provided by the crew for the actors and staff. Now, Yang Hao happens to be entertaining Ma Dong here.

"Teacher Ma Dong, tea, coffee or drink?"

"What kind of tea is tea?"

Coming from a family of artists, Ma Dong is very particular about tea.

"Laoshan green tea is just for everyone to quench their thirst."

"Then let's have coffee. Last night, the Spring Festival Gala held its first rehearsal. I didn't have enough time to rest. I'm still a little confused until now!"

Afraid that Yang Hao would think that he disliked the quality of his tea, Ma Dong explained cheerfully.

"Spring Festival Gala... Oh, I almost forgot, it turns out that Teacher Ma Dong is the director of this year's Spring Festival Gala." Yang Hao stood up and helped Ma Dong make coffee with a smile.

The coffee is instant. As for the taste, it can only be said to be drinkable!

"You can't be considered a director, because there are three directors for this year's Spring Festival Gala, and I'm just one of them." Seeing that the coffee was brewed, Ma Dong picked it up, took a small sip, and then placed the coffee cup on the table. went up and opened his mouth.

"Director Yang..."

"Um?"

“You’re busy, and my time is limited.

Therefore, we brothers will make a long story short. I am here today to officially invite you to participate in the singing program on behalf of the Spring Festival Gala crew. The program is a solo performance and the song "Gangnam Style" that was a hit last year. "

"Okay, I agree!"

"ah…"

Ma Dong was stunned!

When I arrived, I was fully prepared and even conducted a flag drill with my assistant.

If Yang Hao says he has no time, I will only delay you for two nights. One night is the final rehearsal, which requires your participation; the other night is the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala. When the Spring Festival Gala is live, you can start directly. voice.

If Yang Hao says, I need to stay with my parents at home, that’s okay. If your parents are willing, we can invite them to sit in the audience of the Spring Festival Gala. This can be regarded as spending the New Year with your parents in disguise.

If Yang Hao said that the Grammy Awards ceremony will be held then, as a guest performer at this year's Grammy Awards ceremony, I need to go to the United States to adapt to the performance stage in advance. It doesn’t matter, I promise that as soon as the Spring Festival Gala is over, I will immediately arrange the earliest flight for you to fly to the United States...

However, what Ma Dong never expected was that Yang Hao actually agreed directly.

Sitting on the chair, he picked up the coffee cup and took a deep sip. Ma Dong signaled that the more critical the moment, the more calm he had to be. Maybe the bad movie director in front of him would make some unreasonable remarks to him. What about the requirements?

After taking two deep breaths and seeing that his mood gradually calmed down, Ma Dong coughed twice and said: "Director Yang, you must know the rules of the Spring Festival Gala crew. No matter how famous an actor is, as long as he performs on the Spring Festival Gala crew, his labor fee will be paid." It will never exceed RMB 8,000.”

"Ok, I know!"

Yang Hao smiled.

"Then... Director Yang, if you have any requests, you can put them forward."

"Hmm..." Yang Hao thought for a moment and said:

"Two conditions. One, for the song "Jiangnan Style", I hope to sing a duet with Jing Tian."

"No problem, the Spring Festival Gala crew thinks so too, because "Gangnam Style" sung by the two of you seems to have a wider spread." Ma Dong agreed.

"Two, Teacher Ma Dong, when I sing "Gangnam Style", I want to wear my own clothes."
