Chapter 514 Can This Also Be a Hot Search?
Jiang Qi knew the reason why Lillian didn't win the special prize the moment the program rankings were announced.
Each audience member received three votes, and Lillian's magic performance won the first place with an overwhelming 1,087 votes, more than double the second place "Unforgettable Tonight".
It's not that Lillian, who has always wanted to be strong in her life, doesn't want to win the special prize, but her desire to win the first place is too strong, which overwhelms her desire for money, allowing this huge bonus to go to the European Emperor who really deserves it.
In stark contrast to last year's annual meeting's huge harvest of card characters, this year's draw is surrounded by bad luck.
With a winning rate of 70%, Old John, Huang Fugui, Wang Xinghua, Feng Ling, Principal Peggy and Kua Kua didn't win anything, and each of them got a pack of public consolation prizes.
Jiang Cha drew a small rice cooker, Lili drew a mountain bike that she was destined to have no way to use, and Wang Erya drew a juicer.
Lilian was the most eccentric. She drew a double-door refrigerator without the blessing of a buff. She happily went on stage to receive the award. After receiving the award, she realized that she was a magician who knew magic and did not need to use the refrigerator at all.
As the boss, Jiang Qi also joined in the fun and participated in the lottery and received a common consolation prize of a piece of paper.
A few more packets of paper than the six who drew nothing.
None of this matters.
The important thing is that the Chinese New Year is coming soon.
Since the smell in the renovated townhouse has not completely dissipated and it's not time to move in yet, the Jiang family will still celebrate the New Year in the city this year.
Jiang Qi naturally wanted to celebrate the New Year with his family and left the amusement park to stay in the city for two days. Jiang Cha and other card characters stayed at the amusement park to celebrate the New Year like last year. They had already chosen the location, which was at the Incredible Magic Academy.
At 7 o'clock in the evening on New Year's Eve, the card characters gathered in the auditorium of the Magic Academy to make dumplings.
Even Lili stood on the rolling pin and tried to use her feet to roll out the dough, rolling out sheets of damaged dough that could not be seen at all. In the end, Wang Erya, who couldn't stand it anymore, took the rolling pin away and kneaded the dough instead.
The result is that Lili successfully put a layer of batter on the skin of her 20,000+ New Year koi. Fortunately, there are two real magicians in the amusement park. Principal Peggy is proficient in all kinds of magic, especially basic cleaning magic. Not a problem.
No matter how dirty Lili made herself, it was all a trivial matter that could be solved with a wave of a magic wand.
Dumplings are being made in full swing at the Incredible Magic Academy, and Jiang Xiaokang’s family is also making dumplings.
In previous years, the Jiang family did not eat dumplings for New Year’s Eve dinner.
There is no tradition in Xuncheng to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Dumplings can be eaten at any time of the year, but not during the Chinese New Year.
After all, we can’t eat chicken, duck, or fish during the Chinese New Year, so how can we have any spare stomach to eat dumplings?
Making dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner this year is the first time for the Jiang family that an eldest daughter has been on a sedan chair.
When making dumplings, the division of labor must be clear.
Jiang Xiaokang and his uncle knead the dough, the second aunt, Qiao Huifang and Jiang Xiaohong roll out the dough, the eldest aunt mixes the stuffing, and the rest are responsible for wrapping.
The two brothers Jiang Xiaoliang and Jiang Xiaoguang set up a small table by the window, opened the window slightly, blew in the cold wind, and chatted and packed.
Jiang Qi and several other juniors sat around in front of the TV with a bowl of stuffing, watching boring TV programs while making stuffing.
Jiang Bing and Jiang Qi are both amateur dumpling makers.
Normally, children make dumplings with their parents since childhood. The elders are responsible for mixing the stuffing and rolling out the dough, while the children join in the fun and make several shapes under the guidance of the elders. The shapes are different, some are beautiful, some are ugly, some are like dumplings, some are like steamed buns, some are like steamed buns. The strange thing about glutinous rice balls comes out.
But Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing are different.
These two are left-behind children. They have eaten ready-made dumplings since they were young and have rarely made any dumplings.
At this moment, the dumplings made by Jiang Bing look like siomai.
"Sister, you put too much stuffing." Jiang Qi couldn't help but say something when he saw Jiang Bing's Shaomai.
After all, you can't tell who will eat the dumplings after they are cooked. If you eat them yourself, you will be punished.
Jiang Bing knew that his skills were not good, so he glanced at Jiang Qi's dumplings and laughed: "You're not much better. With so little filling, how about you making wontons?"
Jiang Qi:......
He calls it cautious!
What's wrong with eating more skin? At least his dumplings are not easy to boil after being put into the pot, and everyone will not drink the stuffed dumpling soup directly.
Wen Luo looked at the works of his cousins, and then at the perfect dumplings in his hands. He felt that even if they were not good at it, he had to do it himself.
"But having said that, why does my aunt not cook any food and wants us to make dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner this year?" Wen Luo asked.
"Cooking." Jiang Wanwan has the right to speak in this kind of thing, "But there are not many dishes, only 8. My mother said that everyone has eaten at noon and will cook them later."
"Then why do we have to eat at noon today?" Wen Luo asked next.
Jiang Pei counted the dumplings that had been wrapped: "Because dinner is not expected to be served until after 9 o'clock tonight, and if we don't eat at noon, we are afraid that the little boy will be hungry and chew on the table."
Several people laughed loudly.
After laughing, Jiang Bing stopped what he was doing, grabbed a bag of potato chips from somewhere and ate it: "If you ask me, my aunt's suggestion to eat dumplings tonight is definitely because of the New Year's Eve dinner last night. will have an impact.”
"Ah?" Jiang Qi was confused. He didn't expect that there would be an annual meeting.
Jiang Pei smiled and said: "Xiao Qi, you don't know how strong the New Year atmosphere was last night. When I think about it now, I feel like yesterday was the New Year's Eve. It's unforgettable that as soon as we finished singing tonight, everyone was given a bowl of dumplings."
"When the host came on stage to perform the lyrics, I was holding a bowl in my hand. There were hot dumplings in the bowl, and there were several dishes of vinegar on the table. At that time, I felt that the two hosts on the stage were about to give New Year's speeches. Then the countdown begins, 3, 2, 1, Happy New Year!”
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Wanwan echoed crazily, "My parents really like it. When I came back yesterday, my parents kept saying that they haven't seen such a Spring Festival Gala in many years!"
Jiang Qi:......
That was the annual meeting, not the Spring Festival Gala.
Please wake up!
"Brother Jiang Qi, will your amusement park hold the Spring Festival Gala next year?" Jiang Wanwan asked with great anticipation.
Jiang Qi: "...we do it every year. I think next year will be even more exciting than this year."
Just kidding, as long as the program is selected, each program will receive a bonus of 1,000 yuan, and there will be additional bonuses for the top three. If I draw a few more construction cards this year, open a few more new projects in the amusement park, and recruit a group of art students, will the future annual meeting not be ruined?
Roll, you can roll.
"Okay!" Jiang Wanwan cheered.
While making dumplings, watching TV and chatting, the speed of making dumplings is bound to be impossible. Of course, the Jiang family didn't prepare to make dumplings quickly, so they couldn't be more happy.
One pack of these dumplings will last until the start of the Spring Festival Gala.
The whole family gathered in front of the TV, watching the Spring Festival Gala and making dumplings with full anticipation.
Then--
"That's it?"
After Jiang Bing watched the first program, his face was full of disbelief: "What kind of celebrity is this xxx? Why did he have so many words in that song just now? He has two more lines than my brother!"
Everyone:...
Is this the point?
Isn’t the point about what the first song is about? The lyrics are bad, the music is bad, and the singing is even worse. In terms of quality, it’s not as good as the song at last night’s annual meeting.
On the other side, at the Incredible Magic Academy, Lilian, who was watching the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, was also deeply shocked by the first program.
Lillian was holding the dumplings stuffed with leek and egg that had just come out of the pot, and her mouth was full of the smell of leek. She scratched her head in confusion and stared at the computer Jiang Qi left in the amusement park: "Why do I feel that this Spring Festival Gala is not as good as last night's New Year's Eve?" Will it look good?"
Wang Xinghua, a level 10 internet surfer, comforted her while scrolling through her phone: "Anla, Lillian, there is nothing wrong with your aesthetics. Everyone thinks it sucks, and everyone is scolding her online."
"Everyone, the dishes are ready. Let's start dinner." Kua Kua flashed into the auditorium, still wearing an apron.
"The dishes are ready, everyone, please take your seats." Principal Peggy said with a smile, "I praise you for being seated soon. It's really hard for you and Master Huang today."
Jiang Cha also nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist."
Kua Kua blushed: "It's not hard work, I just made some side dishes to help Master Huang."
Just as he was talking, Huang Fugui walked from the kitchen to the lobby.
"Principal Peggy, my food has been put on the conveyor plate you mentioned. How did it get here?" Huang Fugui asked curiously.
Principal Peggy picked up the knife and fork in front of her and tapped the empty plate. The next second, the New Year's Eve dinner, which was both delicious and delicious, appeared on the empty plate on the dining table.
"Wow, this is magic and convenient." Huang Fugui sighed.
"It is indeed very convenient. There are many students in the school. Using this method to serve food saves time and effort. It's a pity that it can't be used now and there is no way to explain it scientifically."
"Science is really bad." Lillian sighed.
Old John:......
Apologize to science, you damn wizards!
Old John, the staunchest supporter of science among the card characters, shed tears of sympathy for science in his heart.
.
On New Year's Day, the amusement park is open for business as usual.
Local tourists flocked to the amusement park, and the number of people entering the park reached an unprecedented 13,000!
Who said that there are no people in and around the fourth-tier town of Xuncheng, but it is full of people returning home during the Chinese New Year!
Everywhere in the amusement park, you can see families of three, families of four, and families of N, consisting of two, three, or even four generations. It can be said that they are all old, middle, young, and young.
During the Chinese New Year, there is nothing to do except pay New Year greetings. The customs here in Xuancheng are different in every county and township. Some people start paying New Year greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, while others wait until the second and third day of the Lunar New Year to start paying New Year greetings. There are many people who have nothing to do on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Originally, everyone had nothing to do but go shopping, go to the mall, watch movies, and have dinner dates.
Now, there is a Galaxy Script Theme Park in Xuncheng.
The most searched theme park!
The amusement park that made Ms. Xu famous in one fell swoop!
What to do if you’re bored on New Year’s Day? It doesn't matter, there is an amusement park.
Come to Galaxy Script Theme Park to give you a perfect New Year holiday!
In the new year, Jiang Qi was woken up by his sister's violent knock on the door.
"Brother, brother! Are you awake? How can you sleep at your age?! It's noon, wake up, wake up! Our amusement park is trending again."
Jiang Qi was woken up directly from his dream by his sister.
Originally Jiang Qi was having a sweet dream. He dreamed that he extracted the entire Oracle Company from "Virtual Game 2077", became the boss of the Oracle Company in one fell swoop, and obtained complete technology from the future.
Then Jiang Qi used the technology of Shenyu Company to start rejuvenating the country through science and technology, punching the other side of the ocean, stepping on the younger brothers around him, single-handedly pushing the earth into the interstellar age, and becoming a man painted on the cover of textbooks.
Then he heard his sister calling him to wake up, wake up, wake up.
Jiang Qi was furious at the time, thinking how could Jiang Bing curse himself to be dreaming, when this was obviously reality!
Then he woke up.
Jiang Qi sat sleepily on the bed and looked out the window.
Well, it's still Earth.
He looked at the door again.
The poor door was being banged hard by Jiang Bing.
Jiang Qi lamented his sweet dream in his heart, and reluctantly walked to the door to open the door for Jiang Bing.
"Sister, what's going on?"
"Our amusement park is trending again!" Jiang Bing handed the phone to Jiang Qi like a treasure.
"Isn't it just on hot searches? There have been fewer hot searches on our amusement park during this period? I also bought two hot searches." Jiang Qi took the phone and took a look, and then he was stunned.
Jiang Qi rubbed his eyes and looked again.
The third most searched item is # . Is that it? # .
The fourth is that # the Spring Festival Gala is not as good as the company’s annual meeting # .
Jiang Qi clicked on it.
It's a video.
A video that is over two hours long.
Ichijo was obviously sitting in the front row downstairs. The photographer was very patient, but his skills were not particularly good. The camera occasionally shook, making the video unprofessional.
A video with over 20 million views.
You know, this is a two-hour video!
Who, which employee recorded the entire program of the annual meeting? !
What a great employee, you deserve a bonus!
"Brother, I think the feng shui of our amusement park has been really good this year. Everything we do is on the hot search list, and even the annual meeting is ranked third on the hot search list." Jiang Bing said happily, "You think I Should I go buy a lottery ticket or something, maybe I’ll win as soon as I buy it.”
"I don't think this has anything to do with Feng Shui. The main reason is that this year's Spring Festival Gala is so bad." Jiang Qi analyzed calmly, flipped his phone to the hot searches below, and pointed to a small hot search that was ranked among more than 20 people and was not very popular.
"Look at this, a big-eating female anchor helps her mother fry short-cut pork. She accidentally eats all the New Year's cake and is beaten up by her own mother. This is a hot search."
Jiang Bing took the phone, clicked on it, and looked at it with interest: "Can't this be uploaded? How interesting, who doesn't like to watch adults beating children during the New Year?"
Jiang Qi:......
Jiang Qi chose to go back to the bedside and took his mobile phone to see who had sent him New Year greetings while he was sleeping.
Open WeChat in one click, and the screen is filled with New Year greetings.
Jiang Qi had already received a wave of New Year blessings at midnight before. Some people were not used to sending blessings at midnight and preferred to send blessings on the morning of the first day of the new year. As a result, Jiang Qi received another wave of blessings while sleeping.
Jiang Qi responded with blessings one by one.
When returning to Xu Liang's New Year's greetings, Jiang Qi discovered that Xu Liang sent not only New Year's greetings, but also business invitations.
As a person in the entertainment industry, Xu Liang certainly could not miss any hot search. Xu Liang discovered the hot search at the annual meeting as soon as possible.
Then Xu Liang regretted it too much.
He regrets it!
If he had known that the amusement park would be a hot search even for the annual meeting, and would still be in the top 3 hot searches, he would have arranged for a few outdated artists to be included in the program of the amusement park's annual meeting.
No one stipulates that only company employees can perform at company annual meetings. Many companies also invite comedians, talk show actors, singers, and sketch actors to perform.
Large companies hire expensive ones, small companies hire cheap ones.
Xu Liang has many has-been artists under him, and the prices are extremely cheap. They can't get any work all year round, so they just hope to make ends meet before and after the Chinese New Year.
When attending the company's annual meeting, Xu Liang was professional.
As a professional, he never expected that some companies would be on the hot search even for their annual meetings.
Xu Liang, who was deeply regretful, immediately chose to remedy the situation and sent a business invitation to Jiang Qi.
If the amusement park holds an annual party next year, Xu Liang has many has-been artists who can perform for free.
If you can be on the hot search, you can earn blood, but if you can't be on the hot search, you won't lose a single favor by selling Jiang Qi.
There are not many other things here but there are many artists. There are not enough artists under him, and there are also artists under other managers.
Enough!
When Jiang Qi saw the list of artists sent by Xu Liang, he couldn't help but sigh: "Xu Liang's agency is really a re-employment company for outdated artists!"
"Are there any popular people in their company? They won't all be outdated, right?"
"Sister, take a look at this list. Are there any older brothers or sisters in your family who have failed?"
"roll!"
