Chapter 228 Finally waited until the boss came on stage
Winter in the north is still relatively cold, especially in Ji Province, which is relatively north of the three northeastern provinces. The temperature before and after the Chinese New Year is about minus 20 degrees.
Chuncheng is the capital city of Ji Province. Although its name is Chuncheng, it is now a world covered in silver.
There was a heavy snowfall a few days ago. Although the roads were quickly cleared, the snow in other places would not melt. The whole city seemed to be covered with a thick white quilt.
People who simply live here have become accustomed to it and will not let the weather affect their daily lives.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, every household puts up Spring Festival couplets, Chinese characters for "Fu", hangs red lanterns, and children in thick clothes set off firecrackers on the snow outside. The whole city is in red and white tones, full of festive atmosphere.
In a high-end villa in Spring City, Meng Ziyi was wearing a thin pink home clothes, a cute rabbit headband on his head, no makeup on his face, and he was lying on his bed without any image. Checking my phone in bed.
Looking out from the window of her bedroom, it was snowy and freezing outside, but inside the house was warm as spring and very comfortable.
Meng Ziyi looked at the Neihan jokes on his phone stupidly. When he was amused by the jokes on it, he glanced at the time in the upper right corner of his phone.
“Ah~ It’s already 8 o’clock so soon, the Spring Festival Gala is about to begin!”
Thinking about it, she got up from the bed, got off the floor and put on a pair of pink bear slippers, opened the door and quickly came to the living room.
The living room of the villa is large and decorated in an old-fashioned style, with mahogany floors, black leather sofas, and a golden chandelier in the middle.
"Dad, has the Spring Festival Gala started?"
Meng Ziyi asked his father who was watching TV in the living room.
“Yes, just starting.”
Father Meng doesn't have much hair, is slightly chubby, and wears a pair of glasses. Although he is past middle age, he can vaguely see the shadow of his handsomeness when he was young.
The [Spring Festival Gala] has just started on the TV opposite.
Meng’s mother came from the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit and placed a plate of grapes on the coffee table in front of Meng Ziyi.
"How many times have I told you that a little girl must sit and stand in the same way. Look at yourself. If you are not lying on the bed, or slumped on the sofa, what will happen to you? Modesty? "
Meng Ziyi was not surprised at all when the familiar nagging voice sounded. After all, she had been home for more than a week, and it was normal for her to be disliked by her mother.
"Mom~ Isn't this at home? I was like an old lady when I was outside!
I am the beauty of the film school, so of course I have to maintain my image."
"Ziyi, I remember You had no interest in the Spring Festival Gala in previous years, why are you so active this year?"
Dad Meng asked a little strangely.
“This year is different, my boss has a program in the Spring Festival Gala!”
Meng Ziyi said slightly excitedly.
"Your boss? Gu Wei?"
"Dad, do you know him too?"
Meng Ziyi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her father would know about Gu at his age. Wei's name.
“I don’t care about celebrities, but my daughter has signed with someone else’s company, so why not get to know them? What if they are liars?”
Speaking of this, Father Meng frowned.
“You said you didn’t even know to discuss such a big matter with your family about signing a contract with a brokerage company. If your mother hadn’t called you to ask, we would have been kept in the dark.”
"Dad~
I am an adult now. I can make my own decisions about these things. Besides, our boss is such a big star and he is my senior brother. Of course, if he can invite me, I must agree quickly.
See if I have filmed a lot of movies this year, your daughter will become a big star sooner or later! ”
After hearing what Meng Ziyi said, Father Meng looked helpless.
"Okay, okay, my daughter will definitely become a big star in the future!"
Mencius came from a good family. His father was in business and was somewhat famous in the local business community.
She has been pampered by her family as a little princess since she was a child. No matter what she wants to do, her family will find a way to satisfy her.
Meng Ziyi, who grew up in such an environment, unexpectedly did not develop a young lady's temper, but instead had a very good character.
When she was in high school, she suddenly wanted to apply for an art school and become a star. Her father spent a lot of money to help her find a tutor, and also established connections with some film and television academies. Finally, she attended the Beijing Film and Television Academy as an art candidate.
Originally, Meng’s father wanted to wait until she graduated soon and then help her find a reliable agency. Even if the family spent some money, he couldn’t let his daughter be wronged.
Unexpectedly, in her sophomore year, she signed a contract with a brokerage company on her own initiative.
When he first learned about this, he thought that his daughter had been deceived.
Later I asked a friend to check her agency, and found out that it was a company owned by the famous star Gu Wei.
Although the company is not large in scale, it has great potential for development and has already made a famous female star named Zhang Tianai famous.
After knowing this, he felt relieved, but he still told Mencius afterwards.
This year is the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Sheep, and the mascot is also a cute cartoon lamb.
At the beginning of the party, amidst the sound of singing and dancing, Zhu Jun, Dong Qing and other CCTV hosting team appeared in costume together.
It is a pity that Li Yong, as the head host of CCTV and the absolute main force of the previous Spring Festival Gala hosting team, was absent from this Spring Festival Gala due to personal health reasons.
After the opening song and dance performance, the second program was a song "China's Good Children and Grandsons" performed by three actors: Zhang Fengyi, Duan Yihong, and Zhu Yawen.
None of the three are professional singers, and no audience demands how good they sing. They just come to the Spring Festival Gala to show their faces and add some starlight to the stage.
After the song ends, the third program is the cross talk between Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue [I can’t stand it].
Guo Degang did not attend the Spring Festival Gala this year, but his beloved disciple Xiao Yueyue came.
A "Song of the Five Rings" made Yue Yunpeng popular on the Internet, and he became the most famous cross talk actor in the second generation of Deyun Club after Cao Yunjin left.
Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue, who were on the Spring Festival Gala stage for the first time, worked very hard. It can be seen that the cross talk jokes were carefully prepared by them. They were full of jokes and the effect was very good. The audience was also amused by them and kept laughing.
The cross talk ended with another song and dance medley, including Tao Zhe's "All the Best", Zhang Ye's "Small Town Girl", and the last one was Chopstick Brothers Xiao Pan, Wang Taili and Phoenix Legend Zeng Yi, [The Most Stunning Little Apple] sung by Linghua.
Last year, Chopsticks Brothers released another cheerful saliva song "Little Apple" after "Old Boy".
Since its official release on May 29 this year, it has quickly become popular on the Internet, and has set off an upsurge of covers and imitations by the people.
Walking on the street, you will see aunts dancing the [Little Apple] square dance. When you turn on the computer, you can also see various versions of the [Little Apple] video. Once you listen to it, the melody in your mind cannot stop. Come down!
On Youku alone, the cumulative views of all "Little Apple"-related videos exceeded 500 million, setting a record for the highest number of views of a movie promotion video; on Weibo, "Little Apple" became Sina's trending list for three consecutive days. Weibo topic list and hot search list; and in major music charts such as NetEase and Kugou, this divine song is also on the list.
With such achievements and popularity, it is logical that the Chopsticks Brothers will appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala this year.
After the song and dance, there is another sketch, "Xile Street", a collaboration between Jia Ling and Sha Yi.
This year's Spring Festival Gala has this kind of arrangement. On average, one or two singing and dancing programs will be followed by a language program, cross talk or sketch.
The effect of this arrangement is obviously very good. From the cheerful laughter coming from the living room of Meng Ziyi's house from time to time, we can feel that they are very satisfied with the program arrangement of this year's Spring Festival Gala.
After all, people’s pursuit of happiness is endless. Who doesn’t like to watch cross talk sketches that make them laugh all the time?
There were some more performances later, including "Together No matter how far away" sung by Deng Ziqi, "When You Get Old" sung by Karen Mok, and performances by Feng Gong, Gao Xiaopan and Zhang Xiaofei. [Little Cotton Jacket], [Station Adventure] by Pan Changjiang and Cai Ming, etc. The time slowly came to around 10 o'clock in the evening, and the skit "As You Like It" by Shen Teng and Mary also began to be performed.
Meng Ziyi was a little anxious waiting. She searched the Spring Festival Gala program list on her mobile phone and comforted herself: The boss comes on stage.”
"Follow His Hobbies" tells the story of female section chief Ma Jingjing, who asks Hao Jian, a section member who is good at playing table tennis, to practice table tennis during working hours in order to curry favor with her boss.
This is an anti-corruption sketch, directed and written by Yan Fei and Peng Damo.
It can be said that both in terms of content and interpretation by Shen Teng and Mary, the sketch combines satire and laughter, and the on-site effect is very good.
But there was something wrong with Shen Teng's last line. His character "Hao Jian" had a line that said "refuse pornography, refuse gambling, and refuse table tennis." After the show was broadcast, people including Wang Hao Many table tennis players, including Huang, expressed dissatisfaction.
Later, Shen Teng, one of the skit performers, explained on Weibo that it was a slip of the tongue, "It was a slip of the tongue. I refused to bet and refused to flatter. I called flattery." Table tennis. Feel sorry! This is causing trouble for friends who like national football. ”
Wang Hao and Ma Long then forwarded this Weibo post, and the matter calmed down.
The sketch ended, followed by a dance program [Silk Road Colorful Clothes] performed by [China Oriental Performing Arts Group].
A beautiful dance ended, and the host continued to announce the curtain. The next program was the song "Chi Ling" performed by actors Gu Wei and Zeng Li.
Finally waiting for Gu Wei's program, Meng Ziyi looked at the TV without turning his eyes.
At this time, in the control room of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the chief director Ha Wen was here to monitor the normal progress of the gala.
Executive director Yang Lailai, who was sitting next to her, suddenly spoke:
"Director Ha, when I went to Gu Wei's show, the ratings increased significantly.
It seems that It was a wise decision for you to ask Gu Wei to sing in our Spring Festival Gala."
Hawen looked at the ratings chart in front of him with some emotion:
"The Spring Festival Gala has been getting worse and worse in recent years. After all, many young people have gradually given up on the Spring Festival Gala. The only ones who can stick to the TV on New Year's Eve are some older viewers
The purpose of hiring Gu Wei is to attract young audiences. Directors of the Spring Festival Gala in recent years have been doing this. Last year, Feng Xiaogang also invited that Korean star.
It’s just that I didn’t expect Gu Wei to have such a big impact on the ratings. ”
On the stage, all the lights were dimmed.
The melodious music sounded, and the lights on the stage slowly brightened. Gu Wei was wearing a black tunic suit, with a slender figure and a face like a crown jewel. His eyes are like stars, his eyebrows are straight into his temples, and he is so handsome.
“So handsome~so handsome~”
Seeing Gu Wei dressed up like this, Meng Ziyi couldn't help but exclaimed twice, with a silly smile on his face.
"Indeed, your boss is really good-looking. This kind of appearance is rare among celebrities."
Meng's mother on the side rarely mentioned her daughter, watching the TV and agreeing. One sentence.
Zeng Li next to Gu Wei was wearing a costume. She was tall and looked very charming with her smile.
Behind them were dancers from the Central Academy of Drama.
"The sleeves rise and fall as soon as the play breaks
Singing joys and sorrows has nothing to do with me
Fans open and close, gongs and drums sound and silence
Who can tell outsiders about the love in the play
< br>”
Gu Wei opened his mouth, and his clear, loud and magnetic voice filled the entire party. The singing was also broadcast by CCTV to hundreds of millions of viewers across the country.
"Isn't your boss an actor? His singing is also very good. It feels no less than those professional singers."
After listening to the beginning, Meng's father couldn't help but say .
"Dad, you don't know that the boss is also a professional singer. He sang the most popular song [Lonely Warrior] the year before last."
Meng Ziyi said with some pride.
"[Lonely Warrior] was sung by him. At that time, that song was played in the streets and alleys. The kindergarten near us played it every day, and the children nearby could sing it.
I didn't care who the singer was. ”
Dad Meng suddenly understood.
“Have a habit of blending all the joy, anger, sorrow and joy into the ink
What if the lyrics are sung through and my bones and ashes are all mine
In troubled times, duckweed endures to watch the beacon fire burning mountains and rivers
I am humble and dare not forget about my country, even if no one knows me
”
As Gu Wei sang the song, the audience in the audience There seems to be an opera singing "Jiao'er" appearing in front of me. In that era when the war was raging, although he came from a humble background, he still maintained an innocent heart for his country and nation. "I" made countless audiences wet their eyes.
"People in the audience can't see the old color when they walk by
People on the stage sang a song of heartbreak and farewell
The word love is hard to write, she sang and it must be reconciled with blood
As the drama begins and the drama ends, who is the guest
”
After Gu Wei finished singing, the climax was a scene from Zeng Li
The audience, who were already immersed in the singing, were immediately surprised. There are very few such popular songs with drama, and it is even rarer to have such a perfect integration.
Zeng Li sang this part at a completely professional level. She has been studying opera since she was a child. After graduating from elementary school, she entered the Chinese Opera Academy to study Peking Opera, majoring in Tsing Yi. Later, she was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama and changed to acting.
It can be said that what she is best at is opera. Singing these opera lines couldn't be easier for her.
After singing one section, there is another Kunqu opera narration by Zeng Li in the middle, which is full of drama.
Soon the whole song of [Chi Ling] was finished. Gu Wei held Zeng Li’s hand on the stage. The two bowed to the audience and turned around to leave.
At this time, the audience, which was already immersed in the singing, burst into thunderous applause, and some viewers still had tears in their eyes.
A song seems to be singing about love, but what the audience hears from it is patriotism.
After the performance, Gu Wei and Zeng Li returned to the backstage to remove their makeup. Although they had rehearsed many times, it was the stage of the Spring Festival Gala after all, so they were more or less nervous. Now that it was finally over, they felt so big in their hearts. The stone fell to the ground.
Gu Wei was about to pat his butt and leave, but he tricked the performer behind him.
[Chi Ling] is followed by the song [Silk Road] sung by Na Ying.
After the host's brief appearance, Na Ying took the stage confidently.
At this time, the audience's thoughts are still in the mood created by [Chi Ling]'s singing, and some people are deeply involved in the emotion and have not been able to get out of it for a while.
This made Na Ying's performance extremely embarrassing. From beginning to end, he did not get any feedback from the audience, and the applause at the end of the performance was sparse.
Fortunately, the director team discovered this situation when she came on stage and asked the camera not to cut to the audience when the eagle sang, and no one in the audience in front of the TV noticed her embarrassment.
Sitting on the sofa, Meng Ziyi stopped paying attention to the Spring Festival Gala when Gu Wei's program ended. He took out his mobile phone and thought, 'Should I send a congratulations message to my boss?'
Today’s 2 chapters, I still owe 2 chapters.
