Chapter 142 Attending the Spring Festival Gala

Program review, preliminary rehearsal, detailed rehearsal, joint rehearsal, and rehearsal summary.

After five rehearsals, the Spring Festival Gala program was completely finalized, down to the length of each program, and so on. It was incredibly detailed.

Li Boda was also surprised to find that the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals were like this, especially the last two rehearsals.

It's almost like re-enacting the performance on the Spring Festival Gala, making sure there are no problems, and then transferring it exactly as it was on the Spring Festival Gala stage on New Year's Eve.

However, during the later rehearsals, Li Boda also met many big names who frequently appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, such as Zhao Benshan, Feng Gong, Guo Donglin, Niu Qun, and others.

It's a pity that although Niu Qun and Feng Gong were both on this year's Spring Festival Gala, they weren't partners at all, and they didn't perform the same program.

Finally, after five rehearsals, the day of Lunar New Year's Eve arrived.

Li Boda and Zeng Li arrived at the Spring Festival Gala backstage early. The place was packed with people, whether it was the dressing room, the rest room, or the corridor.

These people's clothing and appearance were also completely different.

People like Li Boda and Zeng Li are alright; they at least have a relatively quiet space to rest. But the dance performers and their backup dancers are really crammed into the corridors and passageways.

These people arrived early and stayed there, some even without having dinner, waiting on empty stomachs.

The main reason is that it's better to be hungry than full, because no one knows if eating an extra bite will affect your health or cause you to get sick. So, almost everyone who comes to the Spring Festival Gala is hungry, and some don't even eat lunch.

Li Boda and Zeng Li followed the crowd and skipped lunch, patiently waiting backstage.

Of course, given Li Boda's physical condition, even if he drank poison like water, let alone ate, it would not affect his condition at all.

However, since everyone else was doing it, Li Boda didn't bother to go out for a meal; he just followed the crowd.

Fortunately, Li Boda and Zeng Li's performance was scheduled relatively early, so after their performance, they could do whatever they wanted, whether they wanted to eat or go home.

After a patient yet anxious wait by everyone backstage, the time finally arrived at eight o'clock!
The Spring Festival Gala has officially begun!

The opening song and dance is titled "Flowers Bloom in the Chinese New Year".

Meanwhile, Li Boda and Zeng Li had already made their preparations.

Around nine o'clock, after the seventh acrobatic performance, Li Boda and Zeng Li took to the stage.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage and looked at the sea of ​​people below, even Li Boda couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Third Sister, all the mistakes are my fault. Please forgive me..."

With a strained voice, Li Boda finished speaking, and the music officially began.

Like Li Boda, Zeng Li was also nervous and excited, but listening to the familiar music and Li Boda's voice, Zeng Li also got into the zone.

After a few minutes, the two finished singing and quickly walked off the stage hand in hand.

In reality, Li Boda and Zeng Li only lip-synced; they didn't actually sing live, which is commonly known as lip-syncing.

The truth is that Li Boda and Zeng Li recorded a perfect version in a professional recording studio in advance and handed it over to the Spring Festival Gala organizers. When Li Boda and Zeng Li went on stage, all they needed to do was open their mouths and lip-sync.

It can be said that this is true for almost all Spring Festival Gala programs, especially those featuring singing; there are virtually no exceptions.

The program was worried that something unexpected might happen.

After all, hundreds of millions of people watch the Spring Festival Gala together. If there is even the slightest mistake in the Gala, it will be pointed out with a magnifying glass. Therefore, the Gala's programs are all about being safe and sound.

After the performance of "Wujiapo" ended, Li Boda and Zeng Li did not leave. Instead, they chose to sit at the front of the audience stage, ready to watch the Spring Festival Gala live.

Watching the Spring Festival Gala live was something neither Li Boda nor Zeng Li had ever done before, so it was very appealing to them.

As for Li Boda and Zeng Li, their seats were arranged in advance by the Spring Festival Gala organizers. Celebrities like them sat in one area, while other areas were reserved for national leaders, scientists, veterans, and so on. Each type of person was arranged in a separate place, ensuring that there would never be a situation where a celebrity and a general sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Therefore, neither Li Boda nor Zeng Li felt uncomfortable.

After sitting down, Li Boda took out a lot of snacks from his pocket and handed them to Zeng Li next to him.

Zeng Li looked at Li Boda with surprise when she saw the snacks in his hand: "Where did you get all this stuff?"

"I hid it secretly," Li Boda said with a smile. With his abilities, hiding something was easy for him. In fact, if Li Boda wanted to, he could get anything from all over the world, whether it was hot or cold. It was just that this was the Spring Festival Gala, otherwise Li Boda would have definitely managed to get a few dishes out.

"You're really amazing. I didn't even notice anything before."

“To tell you the truth, I know magic,” Li Boda said with a smile in a low voice. “Magic?”

“Yes, others perform magic tricks, but I perform magic.” Li Boda smiled mysteriously.

Zeng Li couldn't help but roll her eyes, not believing Li Boda's words at all: "Don't you know magic? Conjure some more for me."

"Sure, what do you want?"

"That's what you said..."

Then Zeng Li saw Li Boda constantly taking all sorts of things out of his pockets, and in the blink of an eye, the table in front of them was piled high with all sorts of things.

Zeng Li looked bewildered and curious. She couldn't help but reach into Li Boda's pocket, but found nothing. After she took her hand out, Li Boda pulled something out of his pocket, which surprised Zeng Li even more. She then grabbed Li Boda's hand and looked at it repeatedly.

Li Boda and Zeng Li didn't even have much time to watch the show. Only when the camera panned to their side would Li Boda pull Zeng Li aside and clap his hands in a serious manner.

Time passed slowly, and one program after another changed on the stage. Finally, midnight arrived, and as the twelve clocks rang, the new year officially began.

Li Boda and Zeng Li also went on stage and sang "Unforgettable Tonight" with the others.

"Unforgettable tonight, unforgettable tonight. No matter where we are in the world, we are all united in our hearts, wishing our motherland well, our motherland well..."

When Zeng Li walked out from CCTV, she still looked excited.

They were involved from beginning to end.

According to Zeng Li, being able to fully participate in a Spring Festival Gala, and even sing the song "Unforgettable Tonight" together, would make her feel that participating in the Spring Festival Gala was truly fulfilling.

In fact, Li Boda thought the same thing.

This is why Li Boda and Zeng Li didn't leave after singing "Wujiapo," but stayed at the venue and waited until midnight before singing "Unforgettable Tonight" with others.

This is a first for me, so it's best to participate in all the procedures.

If Li Boda participates in the Spring Festival Gala again in the future, he will not stay until midnight like this time to sing "Unforgettable Tonight" with others.

It was past midnight when they left, but Zeng Li was still very excited and thrilled.

After the two returned to their booked room, Zeng Li took the initiative to make herself comfortable for a while before finally falling into a deep sleep, completely satisfied.

The next day, around noon, Li Boda and Zeng Li finally woke up from their dream.

After waking up, it was time to part ways.

Unlike Li Boda, whose parents had long since remarried and had their own children, Li Boda was an extra child, so he didn't need to worry about spending the Spring Festival with his family.

But Zeng Li needed to go home for the Chinese New Year.

Yesterday, she couldn't go home because of her performance on the Spring Festival Gala, but now, she has no choice but to go home.

After dropping Zeng Li off at the airport, Li Boda walked alone on the street, wondering whether he should buy a house in Beijing.
Thanks to "Crazy Stone," that rich second-generation who took a crooked path...

Besides exploiting loopholes, Li Boda also acquired a great deal of knowledge about real estate.

Therefore, Li Boda also knew that the real estate market would become increasingly hot in the coming years.

House prices will continue to rise.

So, does he need to buy some houses to hoard?
After all, Li Boda has made a lot of money over the years, but he has put almost all of it in the bank to earn interest and has not made any investments or started any businesses.

It's just sitting there anyway.

If we follow the view of the rich second-generation in "Crazy Stone" regarding real estate, buying and holding onto houses without investing or doing business is much more worthwhile than putting money in the bank to earn interest.

Although it's very convenient to stay in a hotel when you come to Beijing, a hotel is ultimately not home.

Everywhere I go, I have my own home. Staying at home is still more convenient than staying in a hotel.

If you live in your own house and home for a long time and no one lives there, you have to clean it in advance, and you also have to figure out how to provide meals.

Staying in a hotel is so convenient. You can just bring your bags and check in without worrying about hygiene. Even meals are arranged by the hotel, so you don't need to think about too many other things.

So even if you're going to buy a house, it's for investment purposes, not to make it your home.
