Chapter 1156: Farewell to the Old and Welcome to the New

A Spring Festival Gala program just ended, Li Yulan sighed: "I'm really old. I don't know many stars in the Spring Festival Gala now."

An Nuan said: "It has nothing to do with your age. There are many stars I don't know. I don't pay attention to the entertainment industry for a while, and I feel that I can't keep up with the young people."

Tan Yue accompanied his father to drink a glass of wine, put down the glass and said: "Now many companies focus on artist training differently from before. For example, the company will send many people to participate in a talent show. As long as they can be popular during the participation period, the company will train them. Then, according to some online data, it will be decided whether to continue to invest money. In a nutshell, you can be an artist if you have traffic."

What he said is prohibited in the Brilliant Entertainment Company. Artists trained in this way cannot survive in the entertainment industry for a long time.

Of course, there are also many black-hearted companies. Knowing that many young people who have just debuted are too utilitarian and can't resist temptation, they sign contracts with them and make money through liquidated damages.

Tan Zhaohe said: "No wonder the stars on TV change one after another now."

As the host introduced, Tan Yue said: "You should know this person, right?"

Everyone turned their heads to look at the TV.

Li Yulan said: "I know him, I know him, this is Zhang. Zhang Wenhua, is he from your company?"

"Yes."

"I have a good impression of him. He also performed on the Spring Festival Gala last year."

"This is his third time on the Spring Festival Gala stage." Tan Yue praised: "He is very good and hardworking. He can practice for five or six hours every day in the dance studio."

Zhang Wenhua's development path is currently more focused on songs and dances. After all, he is a singer and dancer.

In the past two years, Zhang Wenhua has also devoted all his energy to the production of a new album.

Chen Ziyu said, "I remember that several artists under the company also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala."

Tan Yue nodded and said, "If I remember correctly, there are five more."

"Have they come out?"

"Not yet, they are all in the back."

Li Yulan said, "Tell me if they come out. If I don't know other stars, I don't know them. I have to remember the stars of your company."

She doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, let alone knowing the current stars and artists. The reason why she wants to remember the artists under the Brilliant Entertainment Company is mainly because she can mention them when chatting with others.

Tan Yue nodded in agreement.

Zhang Wenhua sang a song this time, which incorporated some opera singing styles, and with the stage design, the performance was quite brilliant.

Compared with the previous two times, the biggest difference this time was that Zhang Wenhua was on the stage alone, not mixed with other artists before.

Zhang Wenhua's show came to an end, and Tan Yue nodded with satisfaction.

For the sake of confidentiality, he did not know the stage design this time.

Chen Ziyu praised: "Zhang Wenhua's performance this time has a kind of eye-opening feeling."

"I feel it too, this performance is very successful." Tan Yue raised his glass: "Let's drink together."

After Zhang Wenhua's show ended, there was a skit.

Li Yulan looked at the show from time to time until the end, wondering: "Is my laugh point too high? Why don't I think it's funny?"

Tan Zhaohe laughed and asked: "Who of us laughed just now?"

The whole family laughed, and the show just now was really a bit embarrassing.

"The previous Spring Festival Gala is still good." Li Yulan stood up and said: "The dumplings should be ready, I'll go and serve the dumplings."

"I'll help you." An Nuan stood up and followed.

After a while.

Li Yulan held a plate of dumplings and said: "There is a dumpling with a coin in it. Xinxin said that whoever eats it will be the luckiest. Let's see who is the lucky one this year?"

"Me, me, me!" Tan Xin stood up directly with chopsticks.

"Be careful, it's a little hot." Li Yulan put the plate in the middle and said, "Eat some dumplings first."

Tan Xin picked up one and took a bite impatiently, but didn't bite the coin in it. Although a little disappointed, she still looked up and looked around at everyone.

It's a pity that no one ate it.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Xinxin, eat quickly, you still have a chance."

Tan Xin speeded up her eating.

"Don't listen to your uncle, eat slowly, don't choke." Li Yulan hurriedly got up to get water.

"I think I ate it." Chen Ziyu took a look at the dumplings, and a one-yuan coin was inside.

Tan Xin stopped immediately, stretched her head and looked, and said, "Auntie is the luckiest person this year!"

"Then Auntie will share this luck with you." After the voice fell, Chen Ziyu took out a tissue to wipe the coin clean and handed it to Tan Xin.

"Thank you, Auntie." Tan Xin played with the coin and smiled very happily.

Li Yulan said: "Xinxin, there is actually a dumpling with a coin inside."

"Really?"

"Yes, you put one in, and I put one in too."

Tan Xin immediately picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.

The New Year's Eve dinner ended with laughter.

After cleaning up, the family sat in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Tan Xin was sleepy, and An Nuan had gone home early.

Tan Zhaohe and Li Yulan were watching TV, while Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu were looking down at their phones.

Some groups in the company were chatting.

"Ziyu, look at this." Tan Yue clicked on a video in the group.

The phone made a "dong dong" sound, and fireworks were being set off.

This group was a work group before. The film has been finished, and it has gradually developed into a chat group for everyone.

"This firework is good!" Chen Ziyu watched seriously.

This firework lasted for nearly two minutes before it ended, and each time it exploded in the air, it would present a different shape.

Tan Yue slid the screen of his phone, and there were more than ten videos in succession.

Chen Ziyu said: "Why did he set off so many fireworks?"

"It seems that their village organized it together." Tan Yue glanced at the chat record: "The price of these fireworks is very high."

"Fireworks look very expensive."

Li Yulan said: "When you were a child, you shouted to watch fireworks every day."

"I was young at that time." Tan Yue smiled.

Chen Ziyu said: "When I was a child, everyone was the same. Every New Year, I often ran out to watch."

At this time, the host's voice came from the TV: "Friends! Are you ready? Let's welcome this brilliant spring together! Countdown: ten, nine"

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu looked up at the TV at the same time.

"Three! Two! One! Happy New Year!!"

Chen Ziyu said: "Uncle and Aunt, Happy New Year!"

"Mom and Dad, Happy New Year!!"

Li Yulan was a little excited: "Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"

Tan Zhaohe smiled and responded: "Happy New Year!!"

The new year has begun, and it is a brand new beginning.

Tan Yue leaned on the sofa, stretched, yawned, and said: "Go back to bed."

If you have some work to do until this time, you may not feel too sleepy. But if you have been sitting in front of the TV after dinner and have nothing to do, you will naturally feel sleepy.

Chen Ziyu nodded and said "hmm".

She was also a little sleepy.

"You go to bed." Li Yulan picked up the remote control and prepared to turn off the TV.

"Auntie, you guys can watch it for a while, it will be over soon."

"No, there will be a replay tomorrow, we can watch it later, it won't be too late." Li Yulan pointed at Tan Zhaohe and said, "You see your uncle can't open his eyes anymore, we should go to bed, we can't make it this long normally."

After yawning several times in a row, Tan Zhaohe's eyes were already filled with tears, and he said, "No, let's go back to bed."

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu smiled and went back to the room.

At nearly one o'clock, the lights in the living room went out.

After washing up, Tan Yue felt less sleepy and leaned against the head of the bed to look through the chat in the group.

After the countdown to the New Year ended, the group became much more lively, and people who usually like to dive also came out to bubble up.

The employees of Brilliant Entertainment come from all over the world, and the New Year customs in each place are slightly different, and the difference between the north and the south is even greater.

For example, eating dumplings, many places in the south don't have it.

There are photos, videos, and chats in the group chat, which Tan Yue finds quite interesting.

"Brothers and sisters, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year! Wish you good fortune!"

"Brothers, eat less good food during the New Year, it's too easy to gain weight."

"Are you still sleeping tonight? We have to wait until dawn to sleep."

"We don't have this rule. To be honest, I've already slept and was woken up by the sound of firecrackers."

"I'm already in bed. You can sleep after midnight."

"Wish you good fortune, give me the red envelope!"

Below are a few pictures of a red envelope sent almost at the same time.

Then someone really sent a red envelope in the group.

"Lucky King, take over, keep sending."

The atmosphere in the group immediately became lively.

Tan Yue also joined in and grabbed the red envelope.

Chen Ziyu sent a message: "Ayue, are you asleep?"

Tan Yue put away his smile and tapped the screen of his mobile phone: "No, someone is sending red envelopes in the group and is grabbing red envelopes."

Followed by a few laughing and crying emoticons.

Tan Yue pulled the quilt and typed, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I suddenly feel a little energetic. My mom and others also sent red envelopes in the group just now."

Tan Yue felt that Chen Ziyu was a little homesick, so he comforted her, "When we are done with this period of time, I will accompany you to Hangzhou."

Chen Ziyu sent an "OK" emoticon.

Tan Yue chatted with Chen Ziyu, and occasionally grabbed a red envelope in the group. The "lucky king" finally fell on him and sent a red envelope directly in the group.

The group became lively again.

"Mr. Tan, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue replied to the message: "Happy New Year, everyone!"

The messages in the group kept coming.

"I wish "Titanic" a big box office success!"

"I have bought the movie tickets for "Titanic". I will go to the movie tomorrow morning."

"I hope "Titanic" can get a good start tomorrow."

Beijing.

Xu Nuo sat on the sofa, with a plate on the coffee table in front of him and more than half a bottle of unfinished white wine next to it.

This is his New Year's Eve dinner.

Fitness and weight loss is a torture for Xu Nuo, so he can only start with diet.

The reason why he failed in blind dates is that he is too fat. If he doesn't control it, it will be more difficult to find a partner through blind dates.

During this period, Xu Nuo followed some online tutorials and made a simple diet meal, ready to try it first.

If the effect is not good, he will find a professional.

Xu Nuo leaned on the sofa, his eyes slightly empty.

This was the first time that he had not gone home for the New Year, and he felt empty in his heart.

In the past, at home, although my parents kept nagging in my ears about finding a partner, I was still accompanied by my family.

Every festive season, we miss our loved ones even more.

Xu Nuo really felt homesick.

After a while, Xu Nuo put the dishes in the kitchen and went to the bathroom to wash up.

A few minutes later, he was lying on the bed.

Xu Nuo looked at the chat in the group, and many people posted photos of New Year's Eve dinner in the group.

"Sleep." Xu Nuo turned his phone into silent mode, threw it aside, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Xu Nuo didn't feel sleepy at all. He closed his eyes and thought of his hometown and his parents.

The day Tan Yue went to his hometown to visit his parents, he actually regretted not going home.

But since I have decided to stay on duty in the company, and the company has already closed all holidays, it is too late to regret.

Xunuo sighed, got up, turned on the bedside lamp, and leaned on the bedside to look at his phone.

The chatting in the group was much less frequent, but it continued.

Xu Nuo swiped the screen of her phone and found the chat with her mother. After clicking in, she wanted to send a message but hesitated.

"Let's fight, it's Chinese New Year, and I wish my parents a happy New Year."

Xu Nuo comforted herself in her heart and played the video call.

Xu's mother answered almost instantly: "Have you just finished your work?"

Xu Nuo said "hmm" and kept avoiding her eyes.

Yesterday, he called his parents and told them that he would have to work overtime on New Year's Eve. He didn't know how long he would be busy, so he didn't need to make a phone call.

In fact, he was worried that if he talked on the phone at this time and mentioned the blind date again, he would be unhappy.

Xu Nuo asked: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I just finished watching the Spring Festival Gala and I'm getting ready to go to bed." Xu's mother didn't tell the truth. She wanted to make a phone call to her son, but she was afraid it would affect his work.

"Where's my dad?"

"Lie here." Xu's mother turned her phone and said, "Your son is looking for you."

He promised: "I have nothing to do. It's the New Year. I wish you a happy New Year!"

Xu's mother replied: "Everything is fine at home, but you won't be able to eat many of the New Year's goods prepared this time."

"I have to control my diet, I'm too fat." Xu Nuo patted his upper body.

"Is it effective?"

"I don't know. At the beginning, I dropped two kilograms compared to the previous two days."

Xu Nuo chatted with his parents for more than ten minutes.

"If we go back, we have to wait at least until after classes start. And it's very busy during the classes, so we have to wait a little longer."

Chen's mother asked about the promise to go home.

Xu's mother said: "You can come back anytime, just call in advance."

"You guys go to bed early, I'm going to bed too."

"Go to sleep."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Nuo lay on the bed and fell asleep soon after.

…

Early in the morning.

Jishui.

"Are you coming back for lunch?" Li Yulan asked.

"Just look at the time and talk about it later."

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu were going to watch a movie.

"Titanic" is released simultaneously worldwide today.

Tan Yue put on his coat and continued: "I'll call you after watching the movie. Are you going out today?"

"We are not going out. I wonder if your Aunt Wang wants me to play mahjong. If you come back for dinner at noon, please call me early."

We have been busy preparing various New Year goods before, so the first day of the New Year is naturally about relaxing and relaxing.

Mahjong has become a good way of leisure and entertainment for both men and women, old and young.

"OK."

Chen Ziyu came out of the room and said, "I've packed it up."

Tan Yue said: "Mom, let's go out first."

"Slow down on the road and pay attention to safety."

Chen Ziyu waved and said, "Auntie, goodbye."

After a while.

The two drove off to a nearby movie theater.

Chen Ziyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but ask: "Will the scenes in the movie be the same as what you said."

When Chen Ziyu heard the love story in "Titanic" for the first time, she didn't know it was a movie. Later, she learned from Tan Yue that the love story was part of the movie, so she became looking forward to it and longed to see it soon. It’s time to see such a love story on the big screen.

Women are full of fantasies about romantic love stories, and Chen Ziyu is no exception.

She would often imagine in her mind what it would be like for two people to stand on a boat and admire the dusk on the sea. I imagined what it would be like for two people to stand on the deck and face the sea breeze.

Tan Yue smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid of spoilers anymore?"

Chen Ziyu felt a little tangled in her heart: "Don't say it anymore, let it remain mysterious in my heart."

Tan Yue laughed and said, "I won't tell you the plot of the movie for now, but what I can tell you is that you can look forward to the scenes you want to see."

In order to present the best picture, from the early shooting to the late editing, the entire crew, including post-production, spent a lot of time on it.

Every frame in the movie was determined by Tan Yue, and he is still very confident that the audience will be satisfied.

Chen Ziyu nodded and said, "Then I will look forward to it even more!"

The car slowly drove in the traffic. Compared with usual, the traffic volume on the road today was obviously much smaller.

About half an hour.

The car slowly drove into the underground parking garage of the mall. Fortunately, it was early and it was easy to find a parking space.

"I'll take the scarf." Tan Yue turned around and took the scarf from the back seat and put it on his neck.

Chen Ziyu on the side helped to tidy it up.

This time, Chen Ziyu also covered her face a little. Before, Mi Yongqing's public confession at the door of the Brilliant Entertainment Company made several people on the hot search.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, if someone recognized it, this trip to watch the movie would definitely not be realized.

"Okay, that's it."

Just like the time when he went to the big market before the New Year, Tan Yue covered his face as much as possible.

The two held hands and waited at the elevator entrance, and many people gathered around them.

As the elevator door opened, a group of people rushed into the elevator. Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu stood in the corner of the elevator and came to the top floor of the mall.

"So many people!"

The elevator door just opened, and seeing the crowded cinema, the people in the elevator couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, there were much more people in the cinema than usual, as if it was a crowded small market on the roadside, extremely lively.

"Why are there so many people watching movies during the New Year? If I had known earlier, I might as well lie down and sleep at home!"

"Today, no matter which movie it is, the tickets have been sold out. There must be a lot of people."

"Fortunately, you are smart and bought the tickets in advance, otherwise you can't buy the tickets."

"In order to be able to buy today's movie tickets, I can't wait to check the ticket software ten times a day."

The crowded crowd is mainly young people, and the rest are mostly families who come to watch movies.

There is a long queue in front of the automatic ticket machine and the ticket office.

There is still half an hour before the movie starts. Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu did not find a seat in the cinema, so they had to sit on a bench outside and wait to enter the viewing hall.

Chen Ziyu leaned close to Tan Yue and said, "Why do I feel that there are more people than when I came last year!"

"I feel that too. There is no place to sit inside." Tan Yue glanced at the cinema and sighed, "Fortunately, there are seats outside, otherwise we would have to stand outside."

Chen Ziyu pulled her scarf to cover herself more tightly: "I wonder if it will delay the time to enter the venue?"

Her worries were not redundant.

You must queue up for the party. With so many people, it is a problem to find a place to sit, not to mention queuing.

"Their cinema should organize it. If it's a little late, the audience will not be willing."

Chen Ziyu nodded and said, "Sit down for a while and see when the queue starts?"

The two looked at the situation in the cinema.

"Come on, come on, there is a seat here." A young man waved to a girl, and it was obvious that he had just picked up the movie ticket.

The two sat next to Tan Yue.

The boy sat down on the bench and said, "Luckily we came early and got the movie tickets. I feel that if we came later, we would definitely be late for admission."

The girl said, "I've already told you in advance to watch the movie in two days. There will be too many people on New Year's Day!"

"No, Titanic is released on the first day, I must watch the first show, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable even when I use Douyin. If I see someone spoiling the plot, I will be so angry that I will die."

The girl rolled her eyes at the boy and said, "I've never seen someone who wants to spoil the plot speak so righteously."

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu stretched their ears to listen.

The boy said, "Last year, when The Shawshank Redemption was released on the first day, I didn't buy a ticket. Those people spoiled it for me in front of me. This year, I must let them feel what pain is."

"It's been a year, and you haven't forgotten it yet? I remember that when a movie was released before, you had already spoiled it for them."

The boy shook his head and said, "How can it be the same? This is Tan Yue's movie. At the time, The Shawshank Redemption was the first in the global box office history. Usually, spoiling ten movies for them can't catch up with this one. I have been waiting for Teacher Tan Yue's new movie for a year, and I must give it back."

"6!" The girl gave a thumbs up.

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu, who were sitting next to them, heard their entire conversation and smiled at each other.

Many people around them who were waiting for the movie to start were discussing the movie they were about to see.

There were several large monitors hanging outside the cinema, some of which were playing movie trailers, and some were showing the movie's opening time and whether there were empty seats.

Tan Yue's attention was mainly focused on the screen with the movie's opening time, which also had the showtime.

Previously, Zheng Tong submitted the screening rates of major theaters at home and abroad, and Tan Yue was relatively clear about these.

The screening rate of "Titanic" in China is much higher than that abroad, and the screening rate abroad is much higher than the previous few times the movie was released.

The subsequent screening rate will also be adjusted according to the popularity of the movie, attendance rate, and box office performance.

The better the performance, the higher the screening rate will naturally be.

On the first day of the new year, no matter which movie it is, it is basically sold out, and there is not much reference value.

Tan Yue retracted his gaze and glanced at the cinema. There was no queue yet.

A group of people got off the elevator just now, passed by Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu, and discussed the movie.

"I really want to watch "Titanic"! It's a pity that I can't buy a movie ticket."

"I just saw the pre-sale of today's movie tickets online, so I went to buy the movie app, but I was still a step too late. I felt that the tickets for "Titanic" were sold out in a second."

"Wait and see in two days, maybe there will be extra shows, so you can buy them."

"Anyway, I bought other movie tickets, otherwise you will all have to lie down and sleep at home today."

"I don't know if this movie is good or not. I slept too late yesterday. I started to worry whether I would sleep after the movie starts."

"There are so many people, hurry up and line up."

Several people chattered and walked into the crowded cinema.

In the cinema, the more than 20 movies released during the Spring Festival will definitely be discussed by everyone, especially when you bring your children to watch movies, they will of course want to watch some animated movies.

If you throw a person who likes quiet into the cinema at this time, he will definitely be blown away by the noise.

From the entrance of the cinema to every corner of the cinema, everyone is waiting for the movie to start.

"I watched the trailer of this foreign sci-fi movie, and the visual effects are very good."

"Of course we have to support domestic movies, why watch foreign movies?"

"Finally I'm going to see Titanic! Oh my god! So excited!"

"I didn't buy a ticket for Titanic, I hope you won't let me down."

The phone in his pocket kept vibrating, and Tan Yue took it out.

"What's the matter? Is anyone sending messages?"

Tan Yue looked at the phone and replied: "Someone in the group sent a message about the long queue at the cinema, look."

In the video, the camera first shot a movie ticket with the relevant information about Titanic written on it, and then as the phone turned, the camera gave the display of the cinema, all of which were the name of Titanic.

"Why are there so many screenings?" Chen Ziyu was a little surprised.

"I don't know either." Tan Yue smiled and shook his head.

The cinema's screening rate is determined by themselves.

The video continues.

The picture shows a long queue in the cinema.

The person who posted the video then sent a message: "Everyone is here to watch Titanic, enter now."

Several people followed and posted the situation of their own cinemas.

It can be described as "full".

The sound of the horn in the cinema attracted Tan Yue's attention, and he asked softly: "Do we have to queue up?"

The two people did not speak tacitly and listened to the horn carefully.

"The audience watching Titanic will enter soon, please line up consciously, be careful of your feet, and pay attention to safety!"

Tan Yue said: "Let's go to line up."

"Okay."

Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu got up and went to the waiting room.

Under the arrangement of the cinema staff, the front was barely lined up, but the back was still a mess.

There was no way.

It was already quite difficult for the staff to make some space to line up.

Tan Yue looked at it, took Chen Ziyu's hand, and said: "Let's wait here for a while, and the situation will be better after the admission starts."

The two stood silently in the crowd, listening to the discussions of the people around them.

"Oh my god! These people can't all be here to see Titanic! This is too much."

"This is Teacher Tan Yue's new movie. Who wouldn't want to see it first?"

"That makes sense. I started paying attention to it when the news started. I've watched the trailers dozens of times, if not a hundred times."

"Look, maybe everyone is thinking the same as you now. Just queue up slowly. Good food is never too late. Don't be anxious. Just wait slowly."

"It's almost time. It's time to start admitting people. With so many people entering, there may not be enough time."

As soon as the words fell, the ticket checking started in front.

In order to allow the audience to enter faster, a ticket gate was temporarily added.

The staff of the cinema moved very quickly. The line kept moving forward. In a few minutes, it was Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu's turn.

Tan Yue handed the two movie tickets to the staff.

"Turn left in front of Hall 10."

"Thank you." Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu walked into the cinema.

Tan Yue asked someone for these two movie tickets in advance, otherwise he would not be able to compete with netizens on the ticket purchasing software.

In fact, the other party wanted to give two tickets for the VIP viewing room, but Tan Yue refused.

Although there are fewer people in the VIP viewing room and the viewing environment will be better, he wants to understand the audience's feedback more comprehensively.

So he asked someone for two movie tickets for the ordinary viewing room.

Chen Ziyu naturally had no objection, she didn't have so many requirements.

Following the crowd, Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu found the viewing room No. 10, and before they walked in, they heard the noise inside.

The viewing room No. 10 is very large and can accommodate nearly two hundred people.

The two walked into the viewing room and found their seats, which are the best viewing positions.

Chen Ziyu asked: "How many minutes will it take to start?"

Tan Yue took out his mobile phone, first lowered the brightness of the mobile phone screen, and replied: "Five minutes."

Chen Ziyu looked around the situation in the cinema, which was already full of people.

Then, she took out her phone from her pocket and switched it to silent mode, not wanting to be disturbed while watching the movie.

She wanted to watch this long-awaited movie with the theme of love to the end.

"It's about to start!" Tan Yue put away his phone and pulled his scarf down slightly.

The temperature in the theater was a little high, but he couldn't pull his scarf down yet.

The noisy voices continued, and everyone was waiting for the movie to start.
