"Huaxia Central Television."
"Huaxia Central Television Station!"
"Dear audience friends, everyone - Happy New Year!"
The dragon vanishes.
There was thunderous applause.
When everyone was immersed in the shock brought by the giant dragon, the hosts smiled and said some festive words, and then bowed to everyone...
On the dazzling stage, a burst of fireworks flashed, lighting up the night sky.
Everyone looked up at the bright night sky.
They felt that the night sky was very beautiful tonight.
This year's Spring Festival Gala...
It is also very beautiful.
…
Tai County "remote" hotel.
"This dragon is amazing, is it a real dragon?"
"It's not a real dragon, it's a special effect!"
"This special effect is so real, I was almost scared just now!"
"yes!"
"It's starting, it's about to start. Teacher Ben Gang will be on the Spring Festival Gala this year, right?"
"Yes, I heard that Mr. Ben Gang's skit "Selling Crutches" was written by A Yuan..."
"When will Ayuan go on stage?"
"Looking at the program list, it should be the second to last."
"The second to last one, isn't this the finale?"
"Haha, this must be the finale. With A Yuan's fame, if he doesn't perform the finale, who will?"
"I have watched this child grow up since he was young. I thought he was amazing when he was little, but I never thought he would be so amazing now!"
"Yes, now it's working!"
“…”
This year, Lu Shuren did not travel abroad, but stayed in the "Remote" hotel in Tai County. He specially set up dozens of extra tables and posted a New Year's Eve dinner and drinks discount promotion. At the same time, a large-screen TV was placed in the lobby so that all the guests dining in the lobby could watch the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala. For a time, the entire "Remote" hotel was overcrowded, and the guests who could not find a seat were all crowded in the aisle, staring at the big screen excitedly.
Lu Yuan!
Who is it?
It belongs to their county.
Since childhood, many people have known Lu Yuan...
Although Lu Yuan's family didn't have much money before, his neighbors didn't look down on him.
The atmosphere was very good.
When Lu Shuren saw these villagers, a smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on his face.
There is a sense of pride.
Yes!
Although I know that Lu Yuan is very powerful now and has no shortage of audiences, that sense of pride has always been there.
"It's starting, it's starting. This skit seems to have been selected from the show 'I Want to Be on the Spring Festival Gala'?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"I heard that this program 'I Want to Be on the Spring Festival Gala' was also planned by A Yuan?"
“Haha, yes!”
"Oh my god, if you count this, how many jobs does A Yuan have now? No, he also wrote the variety show "A Bite of China" which had explosive ratings this year? Wait, I think he also does dubbing, right?"
"Yes, instead of asking how many jobs Lu Yuan has now, it is better to calculate what jobs Lu Yuan has not tried in the entertainment industry..."
"Forehead……"
When the skit "It's Hard to Go Home" came on stage, the whole hotel started discussing Lu Yuan.
At first, the discussion was about how many boundaries Lu Yuan had crossed.
But then, the topic of discussion turned into what exactly Lu Yuan had not touched in the entertainment industry and what blank spaces were left.
Then……
They counted.
Does it really feel like Lu Yuan has tried almost every profession in the entertainment industry?
If "A Bite of China" is also counted, then Lu Yuan...
Even voice actors are considered crossovers?
…
"What are the ratings?"
"Just now it was forty-seven point three!"
"And now?"
"It's slipped a little bit now, to forty-six point five."
"Forty-six point five? Is it stable?"
"Well, it's stable. There's no problem keeping the same performance as last year. But if we want to make a breakthrough, it depends on whether Lu Yuan's finale can amaze people or create a miracle. No, this year we still have Mr. Zhao's skit "Selling Crutch". I've seen it and I think it's interesting. It might become a hit show in this year's Spring Festival Gala!"
"Yes, there is also Mr. Zhao's program."
Backstage.
Li Mingrui silently stared at the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the ratings of 46.5 at the beginning.
The show had a viewership rating of 46.5 at the beginning, so it goes without saying that the ratings for the following shows will be even higher!
If Teacher Zhao’s “Selling Crutch” could become a hit!
Then, let Lu Yuan go on stage again!
Perhaps, there is a possibility of creating a ratings record?
This moment...
Li Mingrui actually felt a little bit of anticipation deep in his heart.
…
The crosstalk show "It's Hard to Go Home" has ended.
The two tall young men exhaled and bowed to everyone.
It was the first time for them to step onto such a big stage, and they were two grassroots people without any background.
This feeling must be quite complicated!
However, after hearing the thunderous applause, both of them started laughing.
Because this crosstalk show was selected through online voting, the audience is quite happy about it.
This year's Spring Festival Gala does have more novelties than last year's, and seems to have more vitality.
After the crosstalk, there was a magic and acrobatics show.
This type of program is also a popular program in the Spring Festival Gala. However, for some reason, after the acrobatics and magic ended, the ratings of this year's Spring Festival Gala not only did not stabilize, but instead dropped by one point...
perhaps.
Many people are no longer as fascinated by acrobatics and magic shows as they once were.
I feel like it's just the same thing after all the changes. Although they don't know how to decipher the magic yet, it's the same every year and it's getting a bit boring.
but……
After the magic and acrobatics, a small surprise of the Spring Festival Gala came.
That is...
A sketch by teacher Zhao Bengang.
Zhao Bengang's sketches have always been a featured program of the Spring Festival Gala.
Moreover, both the audience in front of the TV and the audience in person know one thing.
That is Zhao Bengang's sketch, and you watch less and less of it every year.
Who knows when there will be no news about Teacher Zhao on the Spring Festival Gala anymore?
There were rumors before that Zhao Bengang’s health condition was not ideal and his family began to oppose Teacher Zhao from performing on stage again.
"I heard that Teacher Zhao will be on stage at the Spring Festival Gala this year, and next year as long as there are no problems, Teacher Zhao will also be on stage, but the year after next he may not be able to perform."
"Why?"
"His body just couldn't take it anymore."
"I'm asking why you know he'll be on stage for another year? Next year hasn't even started yet, how can you be so sure?"
"Because... Lu Yuan has written three skits. The first one, "Not Short of Money," was performed last year. There will be one skit each this year and next year. Teacher Zhao likes all three skits very much, so we must finish performing these two skits!"
"Ah... Lu Yuan's skit is so charming?"
"What else?"
There was a lot of discussion under the stage.
Backstage.
Zhao Bengang took a deep breath.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
"I can still hold on."
"Grandpa, if you really can't hold on, how about..."
"fine!"
Zhao Bengang's condition is indeed not very good.
There was a trace of sweat on his forehead and his face looked a little weak.
However, after seeing his granddaughter's expression, he smiled and shook his head, looking at his other partner Hao Min and his old partner Fan Shun next to him.
"Are you ready?"
"Um."
"Although I'm old, I still hope to increase the ratings for Director Li's retirement ceremony...Haha, we're all old buddies now."
"Then Grandpa, be careful."
"Um."
"By the way, where's Xiao Lu?"
"Brother Lu is still in the conference room. Do you want me to go..."
"Forget it, don't bother him. He should be the busiest one right now."
"Yeah, okay!"
…
"Has Mr. Zhao come on stage?"
"Yeah, on stage."
"Haha, old buddy."
"Yeah, old friend."
"I heard that you are planning to retire next year?"
"Yes, I always think that the future circle is the future of young people... I am an old guy and I am tired. It is time to take a break. After this year's Spring Festival Gala, I will no longer be in charge..."
"Have you decided who will take over your job?"
"Well, it's decided. Let the skit begin."
"good."
Off stage.
When the old man next to Li Mingqi saw Zhao Bengang walking onto the stage step by step with a cane, he unconsciously started to applaud.
It's a courtesy.
While I am happy about this year's Spring Festival Gala, I also feel a little bit of an inexplicable sense of sadness.
Under the lights, Zhao Bengang's skit "Selling Crutch" officially began...
"Hey~~~ Big liar! Big liar!"
"Why are you calling me a big liar? Can you please stop calling me by my stage name in front of everyone?"
"My child's father!"
"Why"
"If you ask me, don't sell this crutch!"
“…”
“…”
Off the stage, Zhao Bengang didn't look too good and was a little out of breath, but when he walked onto the stage, he was full of energy and focused on the skit, trying his best to perform it well.
The old man watched the movie on the stage quietly.
Have a good laugh now and then.
For example: "If you are not sick, take a few steps..."
For example: "Bicycle, what kind of bicycle do you want?"
Many humorous and witty remarks were greeted with rounds of applause.
The old man turned around and looked at the audience behind him. Seeing that everyone was laughing so hard, he felt very satisfied.
Then he stood up.
“You are…”
"Haha, let's go to the bathroom."
"I'll accompany you."
"No, it's fine for me to walk alone, and the bodyguards are watching, so they won't be a problem."
"All right……"
…
The bathroom was empty.
Zhao Bengang's sketches are always very exciting, so relatively speaking there are not many people in the bathroom.
When the old man finished using the toilet, he saw a young man squatting next to the trash can next to the bathroom, seemingly groping for something.
"Oh... I won't work for this advertising company anymore. Why is the quality so unreliable? It always falls apart!"
“…”
“…”
After hearing the voice, the old man subconsciously looked at the young man.
Afterwards, the old man looked a little surprised.
It seems impossible to guess why this young man appeared here.
"It's not the stickers that are the problem, it's that you chose the wrong stickers..."
"Ah? I chose the wrong sticker? That's impossible..."
“The trash cans here are all customized. If you want to sticker them, you have to choose special stickers. How can the stickers from advertising companies be used…” The old man shook his head.
"ah?"
The young man turned his head and looked at the old man.
The young man was stunned.
"Master, have we met somewhere before?"
"No……"
"Oh, sir, why do I feel... you look familiar?"
"Haha, maybe I look like one of your elders?" The old man looked at the young man's puzzled expression and immediately found it interesting.
He could tell that the young man really didn't seem to recognize him.
"Um...Okay, sir, then where can I buy this sticker?"
"Haha, it's custom made. Of course it has to be custom made. You've contracted all the advertising here. You wouldn't have considered this, right?"
"Um...I seem to have neglected it before."
"Haha, stop posting it. It won't hurt to have one less 'remote' ad."
"Uh...wait, sir, have we really met before?"
"What do you think?"
"Forehead……"
"Okay, help me up... I feel a little dizzy."
"Oh, okay."
…
"Fuck!"
"this……"
When Zhou Shuai passed by the bathroom, his eyes widened instantly and he subconsciously wanted to exclaim!
I subconsciously wanted to take a photo...
But he didn't expect that a guard next to him immediately pulled Zhou Shuai aside and stared at his camera coldly.
“No photos allowed!”
"Ahem, ahem... OK, OK..."
Zhou Shuai was still in shock and stuttered a little.
…
“It turned out to be…”
"It seems that Lu Yuan is not simple..."
"I understand. No wonder Mr. Li asked me to take better care of Lu Yuan..."
“…”
In another corner, a middle-aged man in his forties nodded slightly.
A smile appeared.
