Chapter 379 Lin Feng: Why am I sending New Year's greetings again?

Lin Feng's meme-worthy expressions have finally appeared.

He stumbled a bit, but steadied himself, and indeed didn't send out New Year's greetings.

But the problem is.

I don't care about the video itself, but I'm terrified of strange angles and inexplicable screenshots.

When Lin Feng bent down to pick up the lyric book, the angle of the broadcast camera was slightly above his face.

As I crouched down to pick something up, my head was down, and I accidentally swayed and fell slightly forward, but I managed to catch myself.

That's perfectly normal.

But this screenshot, taken from a slightly upward angle, shows Lin Feng with his hands on the ground, as if he's doing a very new kind of kowtowing.

After taking the screenshot, netizens naturally added a line of text to it.

I, Lin Feng, wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance!

On the left side of the picture is Lin Feng lying on the ground, with the text on the P-screen reading: "I, Lin Feng, wish everyone a belated New Year."

It was placed alongside the meme of Lin Feng lying on the ground in Harbin.

Even the person who took the screenshot felt something was off.
Damn it, I can't hold it in anymore.

That's too short-lived!

The anonymous netizen felt a little guilty, but still did it, simply making the sign of the cross on his chest and muttering something under his breath.

"God above, Amitabha, Brother Feng! I'm so sorry! It wasn't my fault for insisting on doing this."

"Our fans are really looking forward to your early New Year greetings!"

Click to send.

Once it spreads to the internet, how exactly it spreads becomes unpredictable.

Riding on the wave of popularity from the DP band's concert, this image went viral.

Those who have seen it find it hard to resist and immediately join the ranks of those who forward it.

It's already close to the Lunar New Year.

If we don't use this emoji, are we going to save it for next year?!
Trendy! Yes!

[Netizens are really going to come up with all sorts of memes.]

The best New Year's gift was undoubtedly Feng Ge's warm New Year's greeting.

What? You prayed this year too?

What's going on? Has this become the norm?!

At first, some casual observers who had used the Lin Feng New Year greeting meme might have found it a bit outrageous.

New Year's greetings are, frankly, an unexpected event; you can't keep having unexpected events, can you?!

Sending New Year's greetings?! That's too deliberate!

Ha, another celebrity hype stunt. So boring, so incredibly boring. It's all formulaic, isn't it?!

This thought vanished the moment I saw the picture.

The various faces behind the screen, after a moment of stunned silence, gradually revealed expressions of astonishment, which then slowly turned into smiles.

What kind of strange New Year's greeting gesture is this?!
Oh, this New Year's greeting? Well, that's alright then.

Do you all like this way of sending New Year's greetings?

Thus, emojis underwent their second evolution.

[Brother Feng, please wish you a Happy New Year in advance!]

At the beginning.

The picture is just a photo taken from a strange angle of Lin Feng picking up the lyric book.

Later, some genius photoshopped Li Can and the others' smiling faces onto the screen, surrounding Lin Feng.

From that point on, the sense of abstraction became unstoppable.

The amazing evolution of emojis has even created an emoji battle effect.

[Brother Feng, please wish you a Happy New Year in advance on my behalf!]

[Your New Year's greetings, Brother Feng, are great!]

[Your Brother Feng's New Year's greetings are pretty good!]

If the smiley face could rotate, how would you handle it?
Presumably, they would put Lin Feng's New Year's greeting gesture into a GIF of him shaking his head wildly during DP Band's "Free Bird" performance.

Or perhaps Lin Feng's image was simply left there, swaying to the rhythm of the original head-shaking music.

What is abstraction?
Abstraction is a joyful way to de-stress.

Lin Feng really just picked up a lyric book.

But that doesn't stop him from actually paying New Year's visits.

If combined with the chaotic dance at the end of the performance, it would better meet netizens' need for stress relief.

Public figures are already prone to becoming memes, especially if the content is a bit outrageous, the speed at which it spreads is unimaginable.

Dissemination is equivalent to secondary creation, and secondary creation is equivalent to dissemination.

The emojis have become an entire series, and they've become increasingly outrageous.

The DP band, having finished their performance, were unaware of all the inside and outside details.

Even Li Can, with his wildly imaginative mind, didn't dare to think in that direction.

As usual, we had a celebratory banquet, slept in, and the next day we said goodbye to our local friends in turn, preparing to officially return home.

At the airport.

Lin Feng let out a long breath.

"Ah! That was awesome! This was really great fun. It's true, you only have fun when you're performing."

Seeing Lin Feng's感慨 (feelings/reflections).

Chen Gang chuckled and started making jokes.

"Didn't Brother Feng send any New Year's greetings this year?"

"Ah."

Lin Feng rolled his eyes, not wanting to pay any attention to Chen Gang.

Instead, he looked at Li Can and Winnie and asked them with interest.

Where are you two spending Chinese New Year this year?

"in the country."

Li Can raised an eyebrow.

“I’m talking to my dad about this right now. I’m planning to invite my father-in-law and the rest of the family over for the New Year. It’ll be more lively with more people.”

Speaking of it.

Li Can raised his head and looked at his brothers with interest.

"How about we organize something and take our parents on a trip after the New Year or around the seventh or eighth day of the Lunar New Year?"

"That works, will Brother Can reimburse me?"

"You've narrowed your horizons, Xingmei will reimburse you."

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing that they were going to take advantage of Xingmei's deals, everyone burst into laughter.

On the seventh or eighth day of the Lunar New Year, it's time to go back to work, but the festive atmosphere hasn't completely dissipated. After giving everyone enough personal space, it's nice to get together. There's nothing to refuse.

Everyone immediately agreed and planned to arrange time to bring their parents out for a trip after returning home.

Li Can was no exception.

Hold the phone.

I was chatting with my dad on the phone.

Although Comrade Lao Li's emojis have a strange smell, he is still a very active middle-aged man.

Unexpectedly, Old Li sent Lin Feng's emoji out of the blue.

[Brother Feng wishes everyone a Happy New Year in advance!]

"?!"

After realizing that the background of the picture was the stage of Schönbrunn Palace, Li Can's pupils dilated in shock.

I never expected such an emoji to appear.

It's even harder to imagine that this was sent by my own father.

"what!"

Winnie only glanced at him casually out of the corner of her eye, but she couldn't look away from him.

They burst out laughing on the spot.

Lin Feng and the others assumed that Winnie and Li Can were just having some fun as a young couple, and they weren't even curious.

Li Can quickly started typing.

[Dad, where did you find this picture?!]

[There are tons of them online, everywhere! Son, your friend's really famous now. (smile.Jpg)]

drop!
Drop drop drop!

drop!
Old Li immediately posted five different versions of Lin Feng's New Year's greetings.

Then, right after, he sent a grinning emoji.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Li Can and Winnie couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter. Winnie then put her arm around Li Can's shoulder.

"Send it to me."

"I'm coming."

"Look at this young couple, tsk tsk, anyone who didn't know better would think you two were brothers."

Lin Feng was unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

They're still using yin and yang metaphors to their advantage.

Unexpectedly, Li Can and Winnie showed absolutely no intention of responding.

He simply saved and collected them, and then posted them in the band's group chat.

"Brother Feng, I've sent everything I wanted to say to you in the group chat."

Li Can smiled.

Happy New Year!

"."

Lin Feng was taken aback.

Suddenly, a feeling of warmth welled up inside me.

It's a little strange to see your usually joking and carefree best friend suddenly offering a serious New Year's greeting.

But the discomfort is only temporary.

Suddenly, three loud laughs erupted around them, and even Han Jiayin, who was standing next to them, laughed so hard she was shaking.

Lin Feng scratched his head, puzzled, then opened his phone and saw his own string of emojis.

My face turned red instantly.

The temperature is skyrocketing. "Who the hell made this picture?! Who made this picture?!"

"You used my picture to wish me a Happy New Year? Li Can, are you even human?!"

Facing Lin Feng's red warmth.

Everyone responded with smiles.

"Thank you for the New Year's greetings, Brother Feng! Here's your red envelope, Brother Feng."

"We absolutely have to send a red envelope!"

Forwarding: "[Brother Feng also wishes you an early Happy New Year on my behalf]"

"Don't post this! What about the copyright? What about the copyright?!"

"I'm laughing so hard, Feng Ge. You're talking about copyright? Isn't the red envelope just a copyright fee?"

"I'll pay you for your babbling."

Seeing Lin Feng's face grow even redder.

Li Can chuckled.

"Brother Feng, try to think positively."

"What do I think?!"

"Even though you've become a meme, I'm just asking if you received the red envelope or not, right?"

"I'm so fucking pissed!"

Now it's even more famous.

Just before the group boarded the plane.

Another round of martial arts sparring broke out.

The assistant team sent by Xingmei Company didn't dare to say a word or laugh, they just held it in.

Ultimately, it ended with Li Can single-handedly suppressing Lin Feng, who was in a state of chaos.

The meme controversy has maintained a remarkably high level of popularity.

When the plane arrived in Beijing, I subconsciously checked the network on my phone as soon as I got off.

The push notifications for short videos began.

Topics including but not limited to: "Rare footage of DP Band performing shamanic dance", "Han Jiayin's explosive performance", and "Lin Feng is sending New Year's greetings again?"

The time for parting is fast approaching.

Li Can felt too embarrassed to continue provoking Lin Feng.

He pretended not to see it, sighed, and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.

"Brother Feng, take it easy. Next year will be the hardest for you. Maybe you can think about how to send New Year's greetings in advance."

"?"

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Can returned to the company, dealt with what needed to be dealt with, and left the rest aside.

They then returned to their hometown hand in hand with Winnie to spend the Lunar New Year with their family.

Old Li's restaurant closed exceptionally early this year.

Li Can had originally planned to go home and help tidy up the shop, but it turned out he didn't need to at all.

At this time, Li Can's home was already filled with the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.

There were no lanterns or colorful decorations or bright red stickers.

But there are classic Northeastern Chinese New Year goods for the elderly.

The sunflower seeds, peanuts, and pumpkin seeds are arranged on a plate.

Iced Coke, Sprite, and Mirinda.

The two baskets of tangerines on the ground, representing the flavor of the Chinese New Year in Northeast China, actually come from Guangxi.

And it's unwavering.
Watching the Spring Festival Gala.

You can skip watching the Spring Festival Gala, but turning it on and wasting electricity is still a habit.

Old Li cooked the meal himself.

Braised pork knuckle, cola chicken wings, steamed sea bass, and spicy mutton.

And then there's the blood sausage, pickled cabbage, and glass noodles that I usually make, plus a few washed cucumbers—that's considered a vegetarian dish.

Looking at the table laden with delicious food, Li Can realized that he would have to eat leftovers for the next two days.

As soon as the food was served, before the wine was even opened, Old Li was already slightly tipsy.

"Son, aren't you going to perform on the Spring Festival Gala?"

What are you going to perform?

Li Can pursed his lips.

"I need to stay away from these whirlpools. I'm just a musician. Making music and earning some money is better than anything else. I don't want to get involved in this."

"Hmm, that makes sense. Dad talked too much. He should be punished."

Old Li nodded, his face flushed, and downed his wine in one gulp.

This prompted Li's mother to gently push Old Li away.

"Just because I'm greedy."

"Shh, honey, watch the show. You can't hit me during the New Year."

"."

The family turned to watch TV.

A new female singer is performing; she seems to have some connections.

Li's mother couldn't help but ask Li Can out of curiosity.

"Hey? Son, do you know her? She's so young to be on the Spring Festival Gala, isn't that amazing?"

"."

Li Can was stunned.

He frowned, listened carefully, and then nodded.

"It's a recording, but she sang quite well; she's got some talent. However, I don't know her; I don't recognize her."

"Don't ask anymore, your son isn't in the entertainment industry."

Old Li nudged his wife and his criticism hit the nail on the head.

He's from the gaming industry.

"Hahaha."

Winnie couldn't help herself; she hadn't intended to laugh.

Her smile immediately caught the attention of Li's parents.

"Da Nizi, when will your in-laws arrive?"

"You'll be there by the third day of the Lunar New Year."

"Good good."

Li's mother nodded.

Although he had prepared a cabinet full of different types of vodka, Lao Li also took a crash course to learn how to make classic borscht.

But I still feel I need to think about it some more.

"Hehe, I think I need to learn a few more dishes."

Listen to what Lao Li says.

Li Can's eyebrows twitched.

It reminded me of stories from my time in England.

Sir Henry invited himself to dinner and, catering to his tastes, chose a Chinese restaurant. In fact, in Britain, a proper Chinese meal is a luxury. A roast duck costs over a hundred pounds, and a stir-fried dish costs thirty pounds. The working class can basically not afford it. Even the middle class, if they like to eat there, will only go once or twice a month.

Who knows what it feels like to eat a stir-fried lettuce that costs £24? Li Can, who has been spending Northeast currency since childhood, was greatly shocked.

Needless to say, cheap Chinese food is a different story. Even people from Wuxi will complain that there's too much sugar in sweet dishes.

Fortunately, the tastes in Northeast China aren't drastically different from those in Russia.

"Dad, just show us a couple of local dishes. People are here to eat authentic Chinese food, not Russian food."

"Hey, yeah, I was overthinking it. He should be punished."

"."

Time passed slowly.

After a meal.

Old Li continued to be in charge of drinking, while his mother was in charge of clearing the table.

While Winnie was helping Li's mother tidy up,
Li Can had many more things to consider.

As the time approached, the phone started ringing.

Once it made that noise, it was completely unstoppable.

I suspect my phone is about to be bombarded with calls.
