Chapter 44 044: "Selling Cars" is launched (please read it later)

The sketch was killed?

It is really uncommon for Lao Zhao to be killed in his skits, and there are very few reports about this kind of thing in the media.

At least Xu Ning has never heard of it.

"No problem, Uncle Zhao, then I will clean up tonight."

Zhao Benshan was sitting depressedly on the sofa in a certain room of the film and television house, holding the script of the sketch that had been killed in his left hand, and eating melon seeds in his right hand.

"Thank you for your hard work. My assistant suddenly got a bad cold and was hospitalized. You can just come over and help him for a few days. It won't affect your return home for the New Year."

Hard?

How can shedding wool be called hard work?

He laughed and replied: "It's not hard, it's not hard. I also want to thank Uncle Zhao for thinking of me."

After hanging up the phone, he told Bao Qiang and Huang Bo about the situation. They knew that he was going to be an assistant to Zhao Benshan on the Spring Festival Gala crew, and they were very supportive.

"Brother, go ahead and I'll help you move your things tomorrow." Wang Baoqiang promised, patting his chest.

"Baoqiang, thank you for your hard work."

Xu Ning took out 200 yuan from his wallet and gave it to Baoqiang: "Take it, don't refuse. Find a car tomorrow and take your things with you."

Fortunately, the two of them didn't have much. After packing, they only had three snakeskin pockets, which could probably fill three suitcases.

After simply grabbing a few pieces of clothing, Xu Ning went out.

When we got to the side of the road, we took a taxi and went straight to the Film and Television House on the edge of the West Fourth Ring Road. Most of the actors from the Spring Festival Gala live here.

In the car.

Xu Ning was thinking about the matter of harvesting wool. If he went to be Zhao Benshan's assistant, would he be considered a staff member of the Spring Festival Gala crew?

If you count, you can get a lot of wool.

You must know that those who were able to perform at the Spring Festival Gala in 2002 were all talented people, and no one was just filling in.

As for the hosts, there are Ni Ping, Zhu Jun, Zhou Tao, Wang Xiaoya, Li Yong... everyone is a well-known figure in the hosting world.

Singers include Chen Kelly, Wang Lihong, Sun Nan, Stefanie Sun, Zhou Xun... Needless to say, these people are all talented people, enough for Xu Ning to enter the dream world and pick up a lot of [music] attributes.

Sketch and cross talk actors such as Jiang Kun, Ben Shan, Hou Yaowen, Gao Xiumin, Feng Gong, Guo Donglin and others, if you pick one at random, they are all unique in their own right.

Therefore, Xu Ning guessed that Zhao Benshan's skit "Face" was rejected because it did not have enough laughs, so it was rejected by the judges.

He had seen the sketch "Face" at Station B. It was actually quite funny, but it did not have as many laughs as "Selling Kidnappings" and "Selling Cars".

Now that "Face" has been killed, the alternative "Selling Cars" should be launched soon.

It is already January 23rd, and there are still 18 days until New Year's Eve, so there is not much time left for Zhao Benshan.

When Xu Ning arrived at the Actors' House with two bottles of beer, Zhao Benshan was eating melon seeds in the room, with Fan Wei and Gao Xiumin sitting in front of him.

"Xiao Xu, come in quickly."

Zhao Benshan stood up and greeted him.

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Fan, Aunt Gao, hello."

After the few people exchanged pleasantries, Zhao Benshan ran to the door and closed it: "I've been under too much pressure recently. I worked so hard to rehearse for more than 20 days that I would be killed. I really didn't expect that."

Fan Wei also shook his head helplessly: "I passed the second round of review, but I didn't expect that I failed in the last round."

Gao Xiumin comforted: "Maybe it's a good thing. If the audience doesn't like our performance of "Face", then I'll be sorry for everyone."

Zhao Benshan laughed and said: "Xiumin is right, if we want to submit the best work, we will have to rehearse with makeup in three days. We must rehearse the alternative works and pass the review within two days."

After several people discussed it, their confidence returned.

Although Zhao Benshan was depressed, he was not worried at all because the alternative work "Selling Cars" had been rehearsed before and was praised by the jury.

It's just that he wanted to challenge himself and didn't want to follow the same path as "Selling Kid" in 2001, so he insisted on "Face".

But obviously the work "Face" has not been recognized by everyone.

"Let's drink first. Come on, Xiao Xu, open the wine."

Zhao Benshan has wanted to drink for a long time. The intense rehearsals these days have made him breathless. It is rare that he has time to relax tonight.

"Come on, relax tonight and continue working on your work after drinking."

Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Dinner is here."

Xu Ning immediately went out and opened the door.

The waiter took out five box lunches and handed them to him.

Just as he was picking up the lunch, a middle-aged man walked into the room from beside him with a sad face.

After closing the door and returning to the room, Zhao Benshan introduced to He Qingkui: "This is Xiao Xu, come here to replace Assistant Zhou."

He Qingkui nodded to him calmly.

"Let's eat."

Several people opened their lunch boxes and each of them took a bottle of beer.

"cheers!"

"After this meal, everyone, please work harder tonight. Let's perfect "Selling Cars"."

Zhao Benshan took the lead and everyone raised their glasses together.

Two bottles of beer and 12 bottles were consumed by several people with their lunch boxes. Everyone had a blush on their faces and the atmosphere became lively.

He Qingkui is the screenwriter of "Selling Cars" and "Face". He talked a lot more after drinking some wine:

"Xiao Xu, you will be responsible for recording the time later. I will divide the sketch into a dozen important nodes... Rhythm is very important, and your task is to control the rhythm for us."

"Screenwriter He, Uncle Zhao, this task is too important... I'm worried about myself..."

It was the first time Xu Ning had done something like this, and she felt a little unsure.

Zhao Benshan patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Do you know why I called you?"

This...Xu Ning really doesn't know.

Zhao Benshan: "Because you are smart, and I happen to like you too... Don't worry, it's just to record the time. If our performance is too fast or too slow, you have to record it and provide us with reference after it's over."

Fan Wei leaned on the sofa and nodded: "The director gave us 14 minutes and 50 seconds. We have to complete the skit within this time, with an error of no more than 10 seconds."

…

After the five people finished eating, they went to a rehearsal room. After sorting out the script for more than an hour, the three people began to perform officially.

The first rehearsal ended in 12 minutes. The rhythm of the three of them was too fast.

The second rehearsal was still too fast and ended in 14 minutes, but it was much better than before.

It wasn't until the third time that the three of them found the rhythm and controlled the time quite well.

However, Xu Ning always felt that something was wrong.

Although the whole skit has a lot of laughs, none of it can ignite the audience.

After returning to the hotel room to stay, while taking a shower, he repeatedly reviewed the performance in his mind, and finally found out where the problem lay.
