Chapter 134 Chapter 133, Spring Festival Gala, here I come

At Xinfusheng Restaurant, the dinner and chat with Han Shanye did not last too long. It started at 11:1 am and everyone left at pm.

After all, the hotel's waiters and chefs also have to go home for the New Year.

Han Shanye was very satisfied with the new story that Jiang Feng talked about, because it sounded like the investment for this story was not high. Without hiring big-name actors, it could basically be done with about 400,000 or 500,000 RMB.

Even if I lose money at that time, it’s no big deal!
After leaving the hotel, Wang Jinghua and Li Xing returned to the Beijing Film Academy residential complex together. Her red Xiali was parked in the community at the moment. Wang Jinghua was going to drive home and take Li Xing to her sister Li Lianhua.

This year's Spring Festival, Li Xing and Li Lianhua both celebrated the New Year in Beijing, and it is said that their parents also came.

Jiang Feng took Han Shanye's special car to Media Center Hotel. He would rest in the hotel for a while, and then meet up with two Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, Su Youpeng and Gu Juji, and three dancers to go to Studio 1 of the National Television Station.

Jiang Feng believed that the reason why he had the honor to ride in Han Shanye's private car was mainly because his attitude just now made Zuoshandiao quite satisfied. He said, I have taken the initiative to donate the movie "Moon" to the National Television Station's movie channel for free for screening, and Jiang Feng said that this is what he should do!

At present, although Han Shanye’s private car is just a very ordinary Santana 2000, the car is in good condition and the driver’s driving skills are even better. The original journey of about half an hour took less than 20 minutes today, and Jiang Feng stood at the door of Media Center Hotel.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that there are few cars on the road. After all, today is New Year's Eve.

At the hotel entrance, Jiang Feng got out of the car and waved goodbye to Han Shanye's driver.

He straightened his clothes and turned to walk into the hotel. But as soon as Jiang Feng entered the door, he saw Xu Bin, his exclusive staff member in the Spring Festival Gala program group, coming to greet him.

"Jiang Feng, Happy New Year!"

Xu Bin was still very polite. As soon as he saw Jiang Feng, he immediately greeted him.

"Oh, Teacher Xu, Happy New Year!"

Jiang Feng was a little surprised to see him right after getting off the car. Although he had performed in the skit and participated in three rehearsals of the Spring Festival Gala, to be honest, Jiang Feng didn't really hold out much hope.

Because the Spring Festival Gala program team at that time was so awesome, basically unmatched, and I confronted them face to face, you want me to change the script? No way.

But before Jiang Feng could finish his polite words, Xu Bin leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Jiang Feng, Director Huang asked me to tell you a good news. It is now 100% confirmed that your skit "Flashbacks" will be able to participate in tonight's Spring Festival Gala."

"what…"

Jiang Feng couldn't believe his ears.

"it is true."

Seeing Jiang Feng's surprise, Xu Bin lowered his voice even more.

"Director Huang said that it was the movie channel that called us, saying that the movie "Moon" that you wrote, directed and starred in won the Grand Jury Prize at the St. Denis Film Festival, which brought honor to domestic science fiction films.

It only costs a little money, but it accomplishes a big thing!

Therefore, I ask the Spring Festival Gala production team to give you a chance to wish the people of the country a happy new year through your performance..."

Now, Jiang Feng finally understood.

Why did he insist on not changing the plot and lines of the skit, but he still made them give in? So this is the problem? !

No wonder, I received a notice from the Spring Festival Gala program team the day before the first rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, allowing me to participate in the rehearsal normally. Now I finally know the reason, because that day happened to coincide with the closing of the St. Denis Film Festival.

"Thank you!"

After figuring out the whole thing, Jiang Feng thanked Xu Bin.

"Jiang Feng, you're welcome."

At this time, Xu Bin's voice finally became louder.

"Now I'm just telling you that the skit "Blackout" is the third program of this year's Spring Festival Gala. The first program was the opening song and dance "Jade Rabbit Welcoming the Spring" and "Happy Chinese New Year"; the second program was the crosstalk "Joy Together"; and the third program is your skit "Blackout"..."

Having said this, Xu Bin stopped and looked at Jiang Feng. His meaning was very clear: Do you have anything else to say?
"Hmm..." Jiang Feng thought for a moment, then said, "Teacher Xu, please prepare a bottle of mineral water for me. It should be Wahaha, the kind with my own portrait. I will use it when I perform a skit on the Spring Festival Gala stage."

Uh…

Faced with Jiang Feng's request, Xu Bin was stunned. He wanted to say that this was actually a product placement advertisement, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to forget it. This was just a prop for the performance, and it didn't matter whose mineral water was used.

What's more, this kid is protected by the national television and film channel.

.........

National Television, Studio 1

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Feng, Su Youpeng and Gu Juji came from Media Center Hotel together.

As soon as I entered the studio hall, I was caught by the host and asked to answer a few questions and wish a happy new year to the national audience in front of the TV.

The backstage of the Spring Festival Gala was busy and crowded. There were thousands of performers and backstage staff, all doing their own things. From an outsider's perspective, it was a mess. Jiang Feng was one of the highlights of this year's Spring Festival Gala. His song "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth" was very popular, directly surpassing Ren Xianqi who participated in the Spring Festival Gala this year. In addition, he also had to perform the skit "Fragments". But even so, with Jiang Feng's qualifications, he still couldn't get a separate dressing room.

What do you want when you want a separate dressing room?

You should know that when Jiang Feng walked into the circular corridor of the National Television Station's No. 1 Studio just now, the first big name he saw was Zhao Laonian from the Northeast. Right at this moment, Zhao Laonian from the Northeast was standing in the corridor and nervously discussing the skit that would be performed tonight with his partners Song Dandan and Xiao Cui.

Fortunately, although there was no independent dressing room, Jiang Feng was able to complete his makeup and changing clothes very smoothly in the public dressing room because his performance order for the skit "Flashback" was ahead.

The makeup was simple, just messing up the hair to give a look like she had just woken up, and then slightly darkening the eye circles; changing clothes was even simpler, just putting on leather shoes, black trousers and a white shirt... As for the red shorts with "Good Luck in the Year of the Rabbit" printed on them, Jiang Feng had already put them on early.

It was his first year on the Spring Festival Gala. It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t nervous. Even though he had experienced more than a dozen lifetimes of trials and tribulations, Jiang Feng still felt his heart beating faster.

I want to find someone to chat with and relieve stress.

But as soon as he came out of the public dressing room, he saw Xu Bin waving at him.

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"I have already prepared the Wahaha mineral water you requested."

"Oh, okay, thank you."

"But when I was preparing Wahaha mineral water for you, I met Mr. Zong. He said he wanted to come backstage to see you." After saying that, Xu Bin moved away. At this time, Jiang Feng saw a middle-aged man wearing cloth shoes standing behind Xu Bin.

"Jiang Feng, let me see you. Don't be nervous, just act well!" At this time, Mr. Zong was still very young, about 50 years old, and looked in very good spirits.

"thanks, thanks."

Seeing him, Jiang Feng immediately stretched out his hands to him.

When it comes to national entrepreneurs, Jiang Feng has only one word in his heart: respect!
"Jiang Feng, act well. I solemnly promise you that as long as you can make a name for yourself on the Spring Festival Gala stage, I will increase your advertising fee to 50 US dollars starting next year. As for how much RMB you can get in the end, we will calculate it based on the actual exchange rate on the day of payment."

"Really, Mr. Zong?
If you say that, I won't be nervous anymore." Jiang Feng couldn't believe his ears.

When cooperating with businessmen, they always try every means to lower the price, but they didn't expect that this old man would actually raise the price for himself on his own initiative.

"Of course it's true."

After saying this, he let go of his hand, patted Jiang Feng's arm, and then the middle-aged man walked into the National Television Station's Studio No. 1 with a smile. He was an audience member of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

On New Year's Eve, thousands of families reunite to welcome the new year.

Televisions at home were turned on in anticipation of this year's Spring Festival Gala. The 32-inch Sony TV in the large conference room in Sunlaojia Town, Cao County, southwestern Shandong Province was no exception.

BBK Electronics, endorsed by Jet Li, grabbed the advertising space before the Spring Festival Gala. Against the huge BBK backdrop, the clock began to count down.

five four three two one…

The bell rang and at eight o'clock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala officially began.

Accompanied by the opening song and dance, the four hosts Zhao Zongxiang, Ni Ping, Zhu Jun and Zhou Tao came out one after another and delivered speeches in relay style.

Immediately afterwards, the second program began.

Sun Yue and Jie Xiaodong sang "Happy Chinese New Year" with a cheerful melody. As the opening song, it did an excellent job of warming up the audience.

The third program is crosstalk.

Crosstalk performed by foreigners.

Leading the group was Dashan, a Canadian who has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala several times and is Jiang Kun's apprentice. There were also three foreigners, including a black man.

As for the level of crosstalk... it's just so-so. It's mainly because of the halo of being a foreigner, and he speaks fluent Chinese.

And this is just the view of city people.

Ordinary people in rural areas are not used to this. What they want to enjoy is authentic crosstalk, like that performed by Niu Qun and Feng Gong, or sketches, like those performed by Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao.

Therefore, after only listening to the crosstalk performed by the foreigners for a while, the two or three hundred villagers sitting in the meeting room in Sun’s hometown could no longer bear it.

"Little Six, Little Six, when will your brother Little Seven Jiang Feng come out to sing?"

"Yes, when will Little Six and Little Seven come out to sing? After they finish singing, we will go home. I almost fell asleep watching foreigners perform crosstalk."
