Amidst the eager anticipation of countless viewers, the annual Spring Festival Gala was held as scheduled.
The Spring Festival Gala officially began as a prelude to the Spring Festival.
As in previous years, the opening act featured some innocent children, followed by several hosts.
At this time, Li Tian was on a show, so he was not sitting in the guest seats, but chatting with people backstage.
"Dad, didn't you say you weren't coming to the Spring Festival Gala this year? How come you've suddenly been added to the lineup!"
Seeing his daughter's question, Li Tian smiled and said, "I saw that our whole family was here watching the Spring Festival Gala, and I was getting bored at home by myself, so I came over to join in the fun!"
"cut!"
Huang Yiyi looked incredulous. She wasn't a three-year-old anymore; such a statement was just a lie!
Li Tian didn't care whether she believed him or not. He had given her a reason, and whether she believed him or not was up to her!
This year's Spring Festival Gala is quite different from last year's. Last year, due to Zhou Kun, singers from the southern school of Chinese opera were banned.
Although three top-tier singers finally arrived, it was nothing compared to this year's performance.
Li Tianyou had never seen any of the actors who appeared backstage before, and judged that they were all singers from the Southern School.
Just then, Ah Xing walked over, and Li Tian said to him, "Quite a few people from the Southern School have come this year!"
"Hehe, that's right. Last year, because of Zhou Kun, the Southern School was banned, and you used a lot of newcomers, which prevented the Spring Festival Gala from being a flop and instead made it a classic."
Ah Xing paused for a moment and continued, "But Cheng Jiasheng doesn't have your skills. Look, six out of ten singers on this year's Spring Festival Gala are from the Southern School!"
"Yes, indeed, I saw several familiar faces. I didn't expect these people to still be alive!" Li Tian agreed.
Ah Xing looked at Li Tian helplessly. What do you mean by "still alive"?
Those are singers from the same generation as us, okay?
We're all still alive, so why can't others live?
However, Ah Xing was too lazy to talk about these things with Li Tian, and continued, "So, when Zhou Kun acted like a big shot last year and left CCTV with his people, he wasn't really brainless?"
"If it were a normal time, and the Spring Festival Gala didn't have any singers from the Southern School, and all the performers were newcomers, haha, I guess the director and the station manager would be severely criticized."
Li Tian nodded slightly, feeling that what Ah Xing said made sense.
No wonder Meng Wei and his group were so confident back then; the Canglan music scene was almost entirely dominated by the Southern school.
What a pity.
Last year, I encountered myself, which showed that without singers from the Southern School, the Spring Festival Gala would be even more interesting.
However, nowadays, very few people in the Canglan music scene talk about the Southern and Northern schools anymore.
The main problem is that the leading figures of the Southern School have all become traitors, and these Southern School singers have recently been trying to distance themselves from Meng Wei.
During this period, several prominent figures from the Southern School were indeed invited for tea.
Some of them were asked a few questions and then left, their lives unaffected.
Some people went in and never came out.
Li Tian knew all about these things, especially during the time he was missing, when he was invited for tea by countless people.
However, all of this is in the past, and Li Tian no longer pursues it.
It's fine as it is!
There's no distinction between Southern and Northern schools; we're all part of the Canglan music scene.
"Hey? Boss! Didn't you say you weren't coming to the Spring Festival Gala this year? How come you've suddenly been added to the lineup?"
Ah Xing was also curious, since his boss was the kind of person who always thought three steps ahead before doing anything.
It's rare for someone to go back on their word like this. What's going on now?
"Sigh! I had no choice! The audience's demands were just too high, and as the deputy minister, I'm so approachable! This decision to cut in line was made in response to the public's clamor!"
Ah Xing looked at Li Tian with a skeptical expression and said, "Boss, I've noticed that your official language is getting better and better!"
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do about it! As the saying goes, 'A man in the world is often not in control of his own destiny.' That's just how things are. What can I do?"
Ah Xing didn't want to talk to this boss anymore; he was just putting on airs!
However, the more Li Tianyue said that, the more A Xing felt something was wrong.
I have a feeling that something is wrong, but I don't know why.
Fortunately, Huang Siqi had already gone on stage to perform, successfully changing the topic between the two.
"This Huang Siqi is quite good-looking, Ah Xing! Aren't you going to consider her?"
Li Tianshi felt that this woman was really nice, the only pity was that she had followed the wrong person before.
Although they were not married, they lived together for several years.
But this is no big deal in the entertainment industry. Who doesn't have a few dark secrets?
Li Tian has seen even darker aspects of his past!
Hearing Li Tian's words, A Xing was also taken aback.
Huang Siqi is quite good-looking, and her fame has been rising recently with Li Tian's help.
He's a few years younger than me, around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, which is right in the prime of his life.
Seeing that Ah Xing didn't immediately refute him, Li Tian continued, "You wouldn't be looking down on her, would you?"
Ah Xing glanced back at Li Tian, not understanding why he said that.
"What's wrong with her?"
Li Tian casually remarked, "That less-than-honorable romantic history!"
"Hey! That's it?" Ah Xing thought there was some secret he didn't know!
"Yeah! You wouldn't be looking down on her because she has a romantic history, would you?"
Ah Xing pouted and said, "I thought you were talking about something else. This is it? Strictly speaking, how many people in this industry are clean?"
