Chapter 598: It’s over, just brush off your clothes and go away


    The last scene of the Spring Festival Gala showed some performing guests coming on stage, standing behind Li Guyi, and clapping along with "Unforgettable Tonight".


    On the TV screen, the list of all the cast and crew scrolled out.


    Chen Qi was no longer on the side stage, and ran to the audience to watch. When there were more people, the stage became crowded. CCTV was already building a new building - the Color TV Center. It was completed in 1986, and the studio would be bigger by then.


    The Color TV Center was used until the new century, and then Big Pants started construction, and the studio became even grander... But it had nothing to do with him, he was not Mr. Lu.


    "The green hills are here, and people are still young. Let''s wish our motherland well!"


    The actors were happy from the bottom of their hearts, the audience applauded from the bottom of their hearts, and no one left early. Finally, in the long aftertaste of "Unforgettable Tonight", it is already 12:20.


    "good!"


    The director shouted loudly and cut off the screen: "The party is over!"


    "Thank you everyone! Thank you for your hard work!"


    "Whoosh!"


    There was another burst of applause, and everyone dispersed sparsely.


    Most of the performing guests immediately came to see Chen Qi. Zhao Lirong came over first and shook his hand very excitedly: "I don''t know what to say. Thank you for letting me come. I have been thinking about retiring at this age."


    She is 56 years old this year, and she has really reached the age where she can show off her remaining talents in the troupe. She entered the film and television industry in 1986, and acted in a sketch for the first time in 1988. She never expected to be more brilliant than singing Pingju opera.


    "You have a long artistic life, why should you retire? A car will be sent to you all in a while, so take a rest first."


    "Hey, okay! If you have anything to say in the future, please speak without hesitation!"


    Zhao Lirong is not stupid and knows what the Spring Festival Gala means.


    She left, and Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao picked her up, followed by Song Dandan, Hou Yaowen, Niu Qun and others, all to thank Chen Qi. Finally, Li Guyi came over unexpectedly.


    "Teacher Chen, thank you for such a wonderful party!"


    “Don’t take it for granted, it’s all thanks to everyone!”


    The atmosphere this year was even better than last year. The actors were more inspired by it, and their performances were also very exciting. When Li Guyi sang "Unforgettable Tonight", everyone clapped behind her and their hair stood on end.


    She asked quietly: "Teacher Chen, are you really not going to do it next year?"


    "Well, no time!"


    "Oh, that''s a pity."


    Li Guyi shook hands with him and left with some regret.


    Later, the leaders came to greet them, and Wu Lengxi''s attitude was still enthusiastic: "Xiao Chen, you have to make the first contribution tonight! You should take a rest after that... Oh, let''s have a good chat when we have time."


    After they left, only a few staff members were left on site.


    Everyone thought that Chen Qi was going to say a few more words to conclude, but who knew that he just patted Huang Yihe and without saying a word, he pulled Gong Xue and his parents out of the studio without any regrets.


    “…”


    Everyone looked at each other, and some of them were really wandering. They were unconsciously conquered by Chen Qi''s "personality charm", thinking how great it would be if they could follow him!


    Yes, Chen Qi''s open-minded and unscrupulous style is very suitable for some young people. This job is more exciting every day, which is better than working at CCTV. Of course they were just thinking about it.


    It was Lao Huang who stood up and said a few words.


    The studio that was bustling just now became empty in the blink of an eye.


    …


    "Bang!"


    "Tsk tsk tsk!"


    At midnight, the sound of firecrackers was still going off. People in the courtyard were tired and excited after watching the party for more than four hours.


    The uncle''s prostate has been trained, and he can hold his urine for two hours in the future.


    The children were all sleepy, chirping and making a final noise, and then there was no movement for a second, as if the battery had run out. The adults can chat for a while, and those who are particularly energetic can turn over the table and have some more food, while placing the children''s new clothes on the bedside. This year, I can only eat something good and wear something new during the New Year.


    When living standards were low, the Spring Festival was a combination of reunions, new year''s goods, bonuses, setting off firecrackers, eating meat, tailoring, rest and many other elements, which is why we miss it so much.


    Two vans were brought to deliver the actors first.


    Chen Qi''s family waited until after 1 o''clock before walking through the dark streets of Beijing and returning to Lechunfang.


    The lights came on, and there were still a few people standing guard in the front yard. Chen Qi took a stack of red envelopes, which contained ten unity cards, and handed them out one by one, saying: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone! The mission is completed, everyone should go to bed early!"


    "Teacher Chen, when will the MV be shot?" Li Lingyu asked.


    "We''ll shoot in a few days, okay, okay, let''s rest first!"


    They returned to the backyard, and their parents went to bed.


    Gong Xue boiled water, the two of them wiped their bodies, soaked their feet, lay down on the bed, and said at the same time: "I''m so exhausted!"


    "Thankfully you won''t do it next year. Even if you do, don''t ask me to be the host. It''s really not a job for humans."


    "If Liu Xiaoqing listens to what you say, she will strangle you to death!"


    Chen Qi hugged her and said with a smile: "The Spring Festival Gala is really not a job for people. It has become a routine and has to be done every year. I''m afraid those staff and actors will be homeless every year!"


    He was exhausted after working for two terms and admired those hard-working people.


    Like Li Guyi, who participated in the 22nd Spring Festival Gala, Feng Gong was even more awesome and participated in the 33rd Spring Festival Gala. In other words, Feng Gong has not been able to celebrate New Year''s Eve and have a reunion dinner at home for 33 years. It is really not something that ordinary people can do.


    "It will be fine next year. We will not do anything on New Year''s Eve next year and celebrate the New Year happily..."


    Gong Xue rubbed his face with her nose and said with a smile: "I will make eight-treasure rice, fried spring rolls, and dumplings for you... I will say it in front of the people of the whole country, and I have to do what I say."


    "Hey, will we be a family of two or three next year?"


    "It depends on whether you work hard or not!"


    Talking about pillow talk, you and me.


    That night, it was the strong wind that swept down... nothing happened. The two of them were so exhausted that they both fell asleep while talking.


    …


    In the 1980s, there was a three-day holiday during the Spring Festival.


    What if it falls on Sunday? Oh, I won’t take my leave. For example, the second day of the Lunar New Year falls on Sunday. Sunday should be a holiday. If it is not counted as the Spring Festival, then we will make up for one extra day of leave and give the people four days! And we will be closed as normal next Sunday.


    Unfortunately, I didn’t make it this year.


    Chen Qi took a good rest for a few days and accompanied Fei Xiang to meet with the leaders.


    Originally, Hou Dejian was the one receiving the most preferential treatment, but Fei Xiang outshone Hou Dejian. If he was willing to settle in the mainland, he would have to match the ministerial-level salary. However, Fei Xiang made it clear that he will not settle down, but will shift the focus of his career. This is nothing. He is definitely banned in Taiwan, so what else can he say?


    After last year''s Spring Festival Gala, Chen Qi flew directly to Berlin.


    This year, for the first time in China, he saw the impact of the Spring Festival Gala on ordinary people. On the first day of work, all major newspapers across the country published articles, which conveyed the artistic conception of all things competing and full of vitality.


    "The masses need a show like this!"


    "From Taiwanese singer to returning home from the wandering world - an exclusive reveal of Fei Xiang''s growth story!"


    "Appreciating both refined and popular tastes, the content is exciting, closely follows the pace of policies, and sings the melody of the times!"


    "The Spring Festival Gala, which has been held for two years, has officially established its status. It is foreseeable that it will become an indispensable dish on the New Year''s Eve dinner table. It will become a stage that actors collectively yearn for. It is currently the most influential and spreading A **** TV show.”


    "A bold estimate is that at least 300 million viewers watched the Spring Festival Gala on New Year''s Eve!"


    "This newspaper did a simple survey and found that the Spring Festival Gala is subtly affecting the people''s entertainment life and social trends, and has become a cultural hot spot."


    Of course, there are also criticisms. For example, does "Mutton Kebab" have the problem of discouraging the enthusiasm of self-employed people?


    And "A Day in the Life of a Heroic Mother", does it mean that the TV program is deceptive?


    But this voice was quickly drowned in the praise of the crowd. People are in great need of entertainment. It is rare to have a party that can be broadcast openly and openly, and it is so beautiful. It is too late for everyone to support it.


    Among the masses, the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala is even stronger.
