Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
The news blew up!
On that same afternoon, the news started spreading!
"The Spring Festival Gala's executive director quits?"
"Director Li clashes with the leaders!"
"Li Ke calls it quits!"
"Central TV has confirmed the news!"
"A gloom cast over the Spring Festival Gala . No one to take the job?"
"The public calls for the Spring Festival Gala to be canceled!"
"Where will the Spring Festival Gala go from here?"
Central TV issued a statement very quickly .
Immediately after, Li Ke also issued a statement . He simply explained his reasons for withdrawing from the Spring Festival Gala's production team, albeit being relatively tactful about it . But reading between the lines, it could be felt that Li Ke was rather emotional about it .
At this point in time the previous years, Central TV's Spring Festival Gala would already have assigned a director for the job . In fact, the first approval session would even have almost been completed . However, this year, the appointment of the executive director was still not confirmed, much less the first approval session . They had finally convinced Li Ke to take the role after dragging on the matter for a long time, but it still ended up with him quitting . Did they have to do everything all over again?
To restart the process of selecting a director?
To redo their plan anew?
To invite the performers from the beginning again?
They hadn't even gotten the stage setup ready yet!
Would there still be enough time to get everything together?
As such, when this news was revealed, it caused quite a stir in the country . The public's view of this matter was more pessimistic . They already did not have much hope for this year's Spring Festival Gala, but this news put even more doubt into their minds .
On Weibo .
"Even Director Li has quit?"
"He never wanted to take this 'hot potato' of a job in the first place!"
"Yeah, Director Li is already doing very well on his films . He should just stick to that and not get his hands dirty by taking the Spring Festival Gala job . That's only finding trouble for himself . "
"Well now, they don't even have an executive director to handle things anymore!"
"Who else can they get?"
"I don't know, they've probably approached everyone that they could already . "
"Yeah, they're really shuffling through a lot of people for the Spring Festival Gala's executive director role in recent years . They've already used almost every first-rate director in the country, even getting those famous directors from the film industry and those who are based overseas . Just from the Central TV system alone, there's already Old Hai, Old Qu, and Old Li . Who hasn't been considered for the role before? But as it stands? They're all getting worse and worse with each passing year . The same goes for the viewership ratings and the reputation of the gala, both of which are declining as well . There are almost no examples of an executive director getting reelected for the role in the following year . Everyone who takes the job would only end up taking the rap for the poor showing, and then that repeats for the next person in line after that . "
"They're probably not going to be ready in time this year, right?"
"I think so too . There might not even be a broadcast of the gala anymore . "
"That's not going to happen . The Spring Festival Gala will surely take place . "
"But there's no one left to choose from anymore . The big directors have all been used already . "
"But there are still many smaller directors around . "
"There may be a lot of them, and they are surely eyeing the directing of the Spring Festival Gala as well, but the higher-ups would have to be willing to settle for them first . This is not a job that anyone can do . If you want to direct the Spring Festival Gala, you have to have some achievements first, don't you? You have to show some capabilities and results first, right? Otherwise, who would be convinced by you? Actually, a lot of people might be criticizing and flaming the Spring Festival Gala harshly each year, even threatening not to watch it anymore . The organizers are also often ridiculed year after year too . I remember that such things have been going on for the past four to five years already, hasn't it? But in the end? When we come to the night of Lunar New Year's Eve, aren't we all still always sitting in front of our televisions and waiting there eagerly? Hai, everyone still has feelings for the Spring Festival Gala, after all . That's why we're so pissed about it . We all have our expectations and just hope that it will be well produced . "
"Yeah, my childhood memories are all of the Spring Festival Gala . "
"Yup, those were the days . I really miss them . "
"Let's see who they get this time to save the day . "
"In any case, I can't think of a suitable candidate . "
On Weibo .
In the discussion forums .
On the social networks .
On the streets .
In the companies .
The people were heatedly discussing it!
Then the media joined in!
The people's attention of the Spring Festival Gala reached a peak . All the citizens were paying attention to the developments of the matter and were waiting for the latest news updates to come from the top!
…
There was also chaos within the arts circle!
At Zhang Ye's Studio .
Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others were all frowning .
Little Wang didn't know whether to laugh or cry . "Director Li is really not going to continue working? Then what should we do?"
