Entertainment 1998

Chapter 718 Chapter 717, New Year's Eve
There are many highlights of the singers in this year's Spring Festival Gala!

Fan Jiuyi is one of them. She was one of the heroines in the movie "Hero", which grossed 3.5 million yuan. Cecilia Cheung is also one of them. She is the most praised beauty by the Hong Kong media and was directly named the most beautiful jade girl. No matter how her voice is, her face is beautiful.

In addition, two big names came from the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene, the queen of pop, Lam Yi-lian, and the king of pop, Kwok Fook-shing.

This was the first time that Lin Yilian appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, singing her representative work "At Least I Have You"; this was the second time for Guo Fucheng, the last time was in 1993, exactly 10 years ago, which can be regarded as a small commemoration.

The song that Guo Fucheng will perform is "Get Moving", which is considered his representative work, the Pepsi advertising song, and the theme song of the 2001 Chinese Super League.

The singers leading the way are Jiang Feng, Brother Huan, as well as two folk song queens Tian Zhen and Tan Jing. Chen Hong and Cai Guoqing are also one of the highlights.

Among them, except Jiang Feng and Brother Huan, the popularity of others is less.

Before the Spring Festival, the English album released by Jiang Feng had sold over 800 million copies worldwide, and the songs in the album dominated the charts in various countries.

This made many fans in China excited.

Although no one can understand Thai, Spanish, Portuguese, or Kazakh, the melodies of the songs are good. As long as you like them, you can use homophones to interpret them.

Therefore, many fans are looking forward to Jiang Feng's Spring Festival Gala performance.

Even in many families, Jiang Feng's program on the Spring Festival Gala can be compared with those language programs. Even when everyone is playing cards and drinking at home, they will say a sentence to their parents.

"Mom and Dad, remember to call me when Jiang Feng sings."

Don’t underestimate this sentence. The Spring Festival Gala has been held for nearly 20 years, and few singers have received this treatment.

Gold and silver cups are not as good as word of mouth from the audience. This sentence not only reflects everyone's trust in the quality of Jiang Feng's Spring Festival Gala works, but also his influence that is envied by countless colleagues!

Jiang Feng's show was after a crosstalk show. Well, the crosstalk performer was the bald Chen Hanbo.

According to the master-disciple relationship, he is the apprentice of Mr. Hou San, and can be considered as the senior brother of the fat black boy. I just wonder if the fat black boy has become his disciple at this moment? !

Standing backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, Jiang Feng was thinking, when he suddenly heard the host Zhou Tao starting to announce the show.

"Han Bai, please wait a moment! Han Bai, Wang Min, I want to ask you two something?"

"Okay, Zhou Tao, you go ahead."

Chen Hanbo, with a bald head, and his partner Wang Min stopped.

"Han Bo, Wang Min, you are crosstalk performers, so you must have some knowledge of Chinese characters."

"I don't dare to call myself a researcher, but I do know something." Chen Hanbo and Wang Min said modestly at the same time.

"Okay, I want to ask you two, how many Chinese characters are there in China?"

"Well... there should be more than 85400, but the commonly used Chinese characters should be 3500." As a crosstalk performer, Chen Hanbo has some basic knowledge and gave the answer after just a little thought.

"Well, Hanbo is right. There are indeed about 3500 commonly used Chinese characters. But Hanbo, I would like to ask you about a few uncommon Chinese characters. Do you know them?" Zhou Tao, standing on the stage, was very confident and pointed to the big screen behind the stage.

At this moment, four Chinese characters "狖箍鼯轩" immediately appeared on the big screen!
"Hmm..." Chen Hanbo shook his head.

"I think I only know the character 'Xuan', Wang Min, how about you?"

"As for me, I only know the character 'Xuan'!" Wang Min answered honestly.

"Well…"

At this time, Zhou Tao, who was standing on the stage, laughed again.

"Let me show you the other four words."

As soon as Zhou Tao finished speaking, four big characters "其靁虺虺" appeared on the big screen again!
“We only know one ‘it’.”

As soon as these four words appeared, Chen Hanbai and Wang Min said in unison:
"Zhou Tao, you test us, so let us test you too. How many of these eight words that appear on the screen right now do you recognize?"

"Haha..., like you, I also know two of them."

Having said this, Zhou Tao smiled sweetly while standing on the stage.

“However, I am luckier than you because I have a teacher who taught me how to recognize rare characters.

OK, now let's invite Jiang Feng to sing the song "Uncommon Characters" for everyone, so that we can learn Chinese characters while listening to the song."

After saying this, Zhou Tao announced his exit. The big screen on the Spring Festival Gala stage changed rapidly. One Chinese character after another jumped out of the screen and then quickly disappeared.

Sixteen young men and women in red Tang suits, waving flags, stood on both sides of the stage.

At this time, Jiang Feng, dressed in a white Tang suit, walked up from the back of the stage and sang as he walked.

“Our Chinese characters
Putting pen to paper and leaving behind five thousand years of history
let the world know
Our Chinese characters..."

Sitting in the audience seats below the Spring Festival Gala stage, Liu Qiangdong was stunned.

Damn...

This song seems pretty good!
Well, it sounds pretty nice!

After removing her makeup in the dressing room, Fan Jiuyi was about to go home. However, when she passed the circular corridor outside the National Television Station's Studio No. 1, she saw Jiang Feng on the TV screen and her eyes widened in surprise!

This song...

No way?
Didn't Jiang Feng say he was going to sing the Kazakh song "Zhurek"? And he sang that song in the first two rehearsals. When did he change the song?!
When Fan Jiuyi was confused, she saw on the TV screen that Jiang Feng on the Spring Festival Gala stage had exploded, his voice getting louder and louder:

"Baxiao Kuiyu Demons and Ghosts

Wu again
Wu Huo Yan Yan Yi
Wushui Miao

When singing to this point, Jiang Feng's voice trembled slightly, and the high note went up an octave.

"Alone and in collusion

Walking alone and gaining enlightenment
The continuous succession of descendants is regarded as the guiding principle
The dragon is walking in every corner..."

The audience in the audience couldn't help but grit their teeth as they listened!
And Liu Qiangdong continued to be stunned!

Jiang Feng is too good. There are so many uncommon characters in this song! To be honest, if I don't read the subtitles, even a top student like me can't pronounce most of them.

Fan Jiuyi was also deeply shocked by Jiang Feng's series of lyrics. She didn't even notice that she had her mouth opened ungracefully. She just stared at Jiang Feng on the TV screen stupidly.

When singing this, Jiang Feng pointed at his chest and poked it hard:

“Our Chinese characters
Putting pen to paper and leaving behind five thousand years of history
let the world know
Our Chinese characters

Every stroke tells a story"

"Clap clap clap..."

The entire audience suddenly stood up and applauded spontaneously!
"awesome!"

"it is good!"

The audience was extremely excited, and in the circular corridor outside Studio No. 1, the actors participating in the Spring Festival Gala were also surprised by Jiang Feng.

Zhao Laonian: "Shit, this is what a world-class singer should look like!"

Fan Wei: "Well, I won't say anything. I have only two words to say about Jiang Feng: I surrender!!!"

Teacher Song: "If I don't look at the subtitles, I don't know what words Jiang Feng is singing!"

Eldest sister: "As expected of a world-class director, this fellow is really talented. He can often find new ways and then astonish everyone."

Guo Fucheng: "Fuck, you can sing like this?"

On the Spring Festival Gala stage, Jiang Feng closed his eyes:
“Now all over the world
Chinese characters everywhere
The yellow-skinned people raised their heads proudly
Our Chinese characters

The beautiful melody of the poem is composed by one level and one oblique.
Everyone says it is a saying, so it becomes an idiom! "

After the song was over, Jiang Feng took a breath, bowed to the audience below the stage, then turned around and walked off the stage.

The audience went crazy!

In their eyes and ears, those Chinese characters in "Uncommon Characters" seem to still echo in their ears.

The destructive power is really too great!
This resonance is really huge!

It turns out that there are so many Chinese characters that we always thought we were familiar with that we don’t recognize!

It turns out that our Chinese characters are so profound!
It turns out that our Chinese characters can be sung so beautifully!

At this moment, the whole audience burst into applause.

Well, it was all spontaneous. There was no emcee, no applause, and no usher.

...

After thanking the dancing assistants, Jiang Feng returned to the dressing room backstage and found that Fan Jiuyi was still there. Not only that, but she was also wiping her tears, which scared Jiang Feng.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

"No, you just sang so well."

Jiang Feng finally understood that she was emotionally involved, so he said with a smile: "It's just a song, why do you have such a big reaction?"

"It's different. When I saw you wearing a Tang suit and singing a song about Chinese characters on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, I felt so proud and tears came to my eyes without me noticing."

"Ha ha…"

Jiang Feng, who had already sat down to remove his makeup, laughed.

“Bingbing, not bad.

You have such rich emotions, you are a good material for being an actor, as long as you are willing to work hard, I believe you will be the second Charlize Theron. "

"Really? Then I'm going to take it seriously."

Seeing Jiang Feng praising her so much, Fan Jiuyi immediately burst into laughter, but at this time, she remembered another thing.

"Brother Feng, I've seen you rehearse twice, and it seems like you didn't sing this song either."

“In fact, I had prepared this song from the beginning, but in order to prevent my song from being exposed in advance, I asked for permission from Director Jin Yue and sang Zhurek during rehearsals.

After everyone left, I stayed on the stage and practiced the song "Uncommon Characters" with the dancers.

how about it?
The effect is pretty good, right?! "

“Mmmm, very good!!!”

Fan Jiuyi nodded rapidly, and looked at Jiang Feng with stars in her eyes.

"But Brother Feng, why would Director Jin Yue allow you to do this?"

"It's simple, because he is Jiang Feng!"

Before Jiang Feng answered Fan Jiuyi's question, Zhao Laonian, who was standing at the door, answered it for him.

"Teacher Zhao is here."

"Here I come." Zhao Laonian smiled.

"Jiang Feng, the show is over, the confinement is over, and to celebrate the Spring Festival, how about coming to my place tonight for a drink and we can drink until tomorrow morning when we set off firecrackers?"

"Mr. Zhao, today is not possible. I have an appointment with a friend tonight and we will probably chat until one or two o'clock in the morning. If you really want to drink, how about we do it during the day tomorrow?"

"it is good!"

Seeing that Jiang Feng really had something to do, Zhao Laonian agreed and went to his exclusive personal dressing room to wait.

After Jiang Feng removed his makeup, he left the dressing room with Fan Jiuyi and walked out of Studio No. 1 of the National Television Station.

However, when the two arrived at the gate of the National Television Station, they found a young man in a black down jacket standing at the door. Looking at the scarf in his hand, Fan Jiuyi knew that he must have just come out of Studio No. 1.

"Brother Feng, Happy New Year!"

"Brother Dong, Happy New Year!"

"Brother Feng, who is this?"

"Fan Jiuyi, nicknamed Bingbing, but she has to go home, so it's just the two of us chatting tonight."

"Well, okay, let's go, I've already found a place."

Beijing, Dashilan West Exit
Today is New Year's Eve.

The pedestrian street was bustling in the past, and people would still come and go even late at night. But today, it was deserted, with only a few shops at the street corners having their lights on.

They are preparing for tomorrow's business.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, local residents with nothing to do would stroll around Dashilan Commercial Street, eat some snacks, play games with their children, or watch a movie at a nearby cinema.

But in addition to these shops, there was a place called Guangde Building with lights on. The dim light shone from inside the building to outside, illuminating a small area in front of the building.

Inside the gate of Guangde Building, there stood a dark-skinned young man. He was not tall and was chubby, and he looked a bit festive from a distance.

The festive little black fat man was standing, and there were many people sitting behind him. You didn't need to count them carefully, just looking from the outside you could tell there were more than 15 people.

"Master, let's not let others fool us again. Today is New Year's Eve and tomorrow is New Year's Day. Who would want to rent out the theater to listen to crosstalk?"

"That's right, Degang, I think what Jinzi said is right, don't let yourself be fooled again, it's Chinese New Year, who will come to listen to our crosstalk?

Besides, even on normal days, the number of people who come to our club to listen to crosstalk will never exceed five."

"That's right, Master. Let's go. Look, it's already 10 o'clock in the evening, and the person who called you to book the whole place to listen to the crosstalk hasn't arrived yet."

Everyone was talking at once, and the fat black guy, who was already feeling a little irritated, wanted to go crazy.

Damn it, stop talking about it.

Do you think I'm willing to wait here?

It’s because that person told me on the phone that he was willing to pay 2000 yuan to book the entire theater to listen to crosstalk.

Damn, this is 2000!

You know, the highest turnover of our Guangde Building is only 600 yuan a day.

Now someone is offering 2000 yuan for the entire theater. What if he is not fooling me?! Then we will be rich, right? At least each of the dozen or so of us can get 100 yuan.

Just as everyone was talking and the little black fat man was wandering around, two men came over from the West Street intersection. The one walking on the left was slightly taller, and the one walking on the right was slightly shorter, but no matter who was taller or shorter, it did not affect their graceful gait.

The little black fat man was just about to see which lighted shop the two men wanted to go to, when he suddenly saw the two men heading straight for Guangde Building.

Among them, the shorter man laughed loudly and said, “Brother Feng, I was afraid that you would force me to drink alcohol when we were talking at the dinner table, so I found another way and invited you to come and listen to the crosstalk.

But, Brother Feng, don't worry.

Listening to crosstalk does not affect our conversation at all. Don’t disbelieve it, because the crosstalk in this crosstalk hall is too boring. It is said that if there are 6 audiences listening to a crosstalk show, it is considered a lot, haha..."
