Abstract Art Award Winner

Actually, Zhou Le had some reservations about his look for this song today.

She wore a red cardigan sweater with rhinestones on top, and a white turtleneck sweatshirt underneath.

She was wearing pure white pants and white sneakers with black and red accents.

It looks a bit strange.

Zhou Le doesn't consider himself to have particularly good taste in clothing, so he usually has to ask others to help him with his outfits for events or similar occasions.

But this outfit not only looks uncomfortable, but my legs also feel tight and uncomfortable.

However, after seeing Li Ronghao in his pure red suit, he felt much better.

At least she had some color to match her outfit, while Li Ronghao's outfit consisted of nothing but red and black.

As for my hairstyle, my hair hasn't grown much since I was filming a movie.

Before going on stage, I sprayed some hairspray, and then the stylist spent a long time fixing every single hair to get it in its best condition.

Finally, it was time to go on stage and perform.

Under the spotlight, Zhou Le, for some reason, suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Ronghao's hairstyle today.

At first glance.

"Wow, that big middle part!"

It seems like they might have offended the photographer.

With this hairstyle length, Zhou Le alone could come up with at least dozens of different looks.

Even if we're talking about something more traditional and conservative, there are still no fewer than 10 types.

"How did it have to turn out like this?"

I still feel there are some things I don't understand.

For a moment, I even felt like laughing.

But Zhou Le is a professional after all, and he has a skill that allows him to control his muscles.

So he forcefully suppressed his emotions.

"Dad and Mom" ​​is a good song.

Although Li Ronghao sang with great feeling, Zhou Le's singing also had a slightly melancholic quality.

In Li Ronghua's words, that's called a grainy texture.

Compared to the original singer, Zhou Le's performance was impeccable, though many viewers felt the original singer had more sentiment. He had both emotion and vocal quality.

However, this song is not just a solo performance by the two singers; there are also actors who interpret the lyrics and deeper meaning of the song.

To avoid distraction, Zhou Le tried his best to avoid looking behind him.

If you don't look behind you, you can only look in other directions. It's fine when singing solo, but when singing in a duet, the two people's eyes will inevitably meet.

When Li Ronghao sang the climax and the most emotional parts, he closed his eyes in deep immersion.

But when Zhou Le opened his eyes again after singing that line, he almost couldn't hold back his tears.

He hadn't paid much attention to it before, but on stage he noticed how small the range of motion when a person closed and opened their eyes could be.

Even when it's open, its eyes are still so small!

He suddenly thought of the beady eyes in anime.

"No, I really want to laugh."

"It hurts so much. I should have closed my eyes too."

In the end, Zhou Le managed to hold it back once again thanks to his strong muscle control.

He didn't completely hold it in; the little bit he showed was just a smile to others.

After that, Zhou Le tried to avoid eye contact with the other person, otherwise he was really afraid that he would burst out laughing one day.

I waited until the song was finished.

Zhou Le walked quickly backstage before bursting into laughter.

This left Li Ronghao completely bewildered.

"What's going on? What are you laughing at?"

"Brother Hao, I'm really sorry, I couldn't hold it in when I was on stage. I noticed that the range of your eye movements was so wide that you couldn't see it unless you looked closely. And now that I'm telling you this, I just remembered that line Han Han wrote when we were filming 'Duckweed' was really brilliant."

Li Ronghao also participated in "Duckweed", and although he didn't have many scenes, he left a very deep impression.

Deng Chao: "Do you dare to turn around?"

Deng Chao: "Do you dare to open your eyes?"

Li Ronghao: "I've already opened my eyes as wide as they can!"

Thinking of this line, Li Ronghao couldn't help but laugh.

As we all know, laughter is contagious, and it can spread to other people when there are two or more people involved.

They laughed backstage for more than two minutes, and the junior staff kept glancing at them, wondering if the two of them had been provoked by something.

I thought to myself, "The last Spring Festival Gala was exciting, but it's not worth laughing like this."

So, the staff who went backstage talked to the assistant director about this matter again.

The assistant director thought it was perfectly normal for him to laugh, and just then the director asked him to go out and deliver a message. On his way back, he passed by the dressing room and went in specifically to ask about it.

As a result, Zhou Le immediately searched for a photo on his phone and showed it to the assistant director.

"Haha, you know what, it's so damn similar."

After leaving, the assistant director walked along, thinking about the picture of the puppy with particularly small eyes.

Once you accept this premise, it's hard to go back, so as he walked, he inexplicably started laughing again.

As the subsequent programs aired, viewers of the Spring Festival Gala continued to complain.

"What's this Huang Xiaoming thing? Is it some kind of 'Mingxue' scene? 'I only care about what I think, I don't care about what you think' thing is being brought up?"

"This one is relatively alright, at least Xiaoming was able to stand on stage and make fun of his height, which I think is quite straightforward. The one with Xie Na and Xiao Zhan that followed was really outrageous. Honestly, I don't think any future Spring Festival Gala skit could be worse than this."

"Shen Teng and Ma Li's performance was amazing. Putting everything else aside, at least they dared to be so satirical on the Spring Festival Gala. I felt that it still had some of the old flavor, but overall, I still miss Zhao Benshan a bit."

"I really don't want to say a word about Yue Yunpeng's crosstalk or Xie Na's skit. I think they should pay me for watching their performance."

But watching the entire Spring Festival Gala this year, putting aside everything else, at least in the comedy sketches, it felt like a collection of stale jokes. The Gala used to create new jokes; now it's just collecting old ones. Don't the scriptwriters have any ideas at all?

They probably think their tired jokes are hilarious. "It's only for northerners like me. As a southerner, I've never watched the Spring Festival Gala in my life; I only occasionally see clips on Douyin."

This included trending topics and numerous entries related to the Spring Festival Gala. Besides those related to major events and dumpling making, there were also various popular celebrities appearing on the show.

Initially, the trending topic "[An actor has natural beauty]" could still rank in the top 10, but later, as other topics such as "Tong Liya is so beautiful", "Zhang Ruoyun eating roast chicken", "Xie Na's acting skills without tears while taking off her clothes", "Eddie Peng and Xie Na", "Jia Ling's coat", and "Zhang Xiaofei's sweater" surged, the trending topics related to Zhou Le could no longer be ranked.

Of course, terms like "Xie Na's acting skills" and "Eddie Peng's awkwardness" quickly disappeared after appearing on the list.

This is considered a negative trending topic for them, but other better-looking keywords all have some degree of artificially manipulated traffic influence.

"The trending topics are really a battle of gods. I remember that Zhou Le was the first one trending, but now you can't even see him."

"They finally get a chance to get on the internet, so those people must be paying for traffic. I'd buy it too if I had it."

"I think Brother Le doesn't buy them simply because he feels it's not worth spending money on them. When it comes to being thrifty and managing a household well, it has to be my Brother Le."

"I hope the pandemic will end soon."

"Yes, I watch the news every day and keep an eye on who I know has been quarantined. I really hope it will end soon, because the feeling of testing positive is really unpleasant."

At that moment, Zhou Le also got his phone and was sitting backstage. Since it wasn't 12 o'clock yet, he had found someone on WeChat with whom he wanted to send a New Year's greeting message. He first edited the content in the chat box, then left it there while he went to edit the message.

This way, you won't have to start writing from the very first character and get flustered.

Sending New Year's greetings within one or two minutes at least makes people feel valued.

As the time drew closer to midnight, and the host began the countdown, Zhou Le opened each chat window and clicked send.

At the same time, Zhou Le's own phone began to receive messages non-stop.

Auntie: "Happy New Year, Le'er! I wish you continued happiness, success in your career, and abundant wealth in the new year."

Naza is still the same Naza, and she understands herself best. She knows that while she has many hobbies, making a fortune is something only she excels at.

Xiao Tian: "Happy New Year, Brother Le! I wish you good health and ever-growing handsomeness in the new year. I, Xiao Jiang, will also continue to work hard and live up to your expectations. [kiss][kiss]"

Xin Xin: "Happy New Year, bro! How was your Spring Festival Gala? I saw you on TV, you were so handsome!"

Sister Meng: "Happy New Year, boss! I wish you a prosperous New Year! But one more question: when can I be on the Spring Festival Gala?"

Zhou Ye: "Happy New Year, Brother Le! This afternoon, I saw a really fun lantern display at a tourist attraction abroad online. Let's go check it out sometime."

In addition, I received New Year's greetings from all sorts of friends. My phone kept vibrating non-stop after midnight.

"You're leaving! You're so popular, with so many New Year's greetings." Li Qin asked in surprise from the side.

"It's alright, but the phone keeps vibrating, which is quite nice. Now I finally understand why some people always post things online that invite criticism."

Li Qin was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed. But after laughing for a while, she felt it was inappropriate.

"I hate that you understand instantly."

"It's okay. Some people even buy those vibrating gadgets. I think it's only human nature."

“That makes sense, but I’m not buying those,” Li Qin quickly explained.

"Don't worry, I understand."

"Damn it, what do you know? Why did you move again?"

"Haha, I just have a good understanding, you understand it too, don't you?"

“I don’t understand!”

Zhou Le gradually discovered that these female celebrities were actually quite fun.

Especially for someone like Li Qin, who has an introverted personality, she needs to be well-behaved in public, but unintentionally reveals her adult knowledge.

But that's just Li Qin. If Sister Meng were in the same situation, she would definitely say, "I don't play those games. If I really had an idea, I would come to you directly."

"But I'm really grateful to you. Because the response to 'Joy of Life' is quite good, I've also taken on a film produced by Happy Twist next year, which will be directed and starred by Chang Yuan, and there should be other people involved in it as well."

I also took on two TV series.

One is a period drama directed by Li Huizhu, the same director who previously made "Vampire Expert" and "I Have a Date with Spring", and later "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws", and a few years ago "Beauty Maker" and "Palace 3: The Lost Daughter". She is very famous and talented.

There's another one that Sony Pictures produced themselves, called "The Wolf." I starred in all of these dramas. If it weren't for this one, I don't know how much longer I would have remained inactive.

"That's great, you've really made something of yourself. But speaking of which, I remember you acted in period dramas, right?"

"Yes."

"What should one pay attention to when playing the male lead in a period drama?"

"For the male lead, all you have to do is be handsome, right? There's not much else to it. Are you going to act in a historical romance drama?"

"Yes, we plan to film one next year. We've already found a director, and he'll contact the other actors later. But this is my first time, so I don't have much experience."

"I think it's a complete mismatch for you to act in this kind of TV series. Usually, those who act in ancient costume dramas are young idols who are mainly aiming for popularity. You are an actor with the level of winning an award, and you go to act in ancient costume dramas. Isn't that like an adult beating a child?"

"Haha, just to experience it. It's too tiring to always film those serious scenes. It's good to relax occasionally. Filming these kinds of scenes can also refresh your mind."

"Then go ahead and film it. Remember to promote it when it's released. I'll watch it too. Actually, I quite like watching this kind of thing."

Zhou Le looked at Li Qin in surprise: "You actually read this kind of stuff? I always thought you liked reading classics or works with strong literary merit."

"No way! I'm a girl too, okay? Even though I'm a bit older, I still have the mindset of a young girl."

"Alright then, but you probably just don't have the time, otherwise you could come and make a cameo appearance."

"A cameo role is no problem. Just call me when the time comes. I can ask the crew for three to five days off. I'll act for you for free, no money required."

"That's it."

And so, the two chatted for a long time. When the Spring Festival Gala finally ended, they went on stage for their final bow.

The Spring Festival Gala activities have all concluded.

After that, Zhou Le went straight to the hotel.

However, CCTV will also conduct internal selections later, such as choosing some meaningful and better works for special awards. But we'll have to wait and see about that later.

After arriving at the hotel, Zhou Le simply took off her clothes, tossed them aside, removed her makeup, and rushed back to sleep without even taking a shower.

After two whole days of enduring hardship, everyone was just hanging on by a thread.

Even though people criticize the Spring Festival Gala every year, many people who want to perform on the Gala stage don't have the opportunity.

Zhou Le was no exception.

They've arranged two singing performances for him this time, but if Zhou Le were to actually perform a skit about making dumplings, he wouldn't refuse. After all, it's going to be on the Spring Festival Gala!

I'm proud! (End of Chapter)
