Chapter 547: My Cheeks Hurt From Laughing (Asking for Monthly Tickets at the End of the Month)
On New Year's Eve, Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi received a notice to lip-sync.
Well, that's what we call lip-syncing (Note 1).
The Spring Festival Gala has a long history of lip-syncing. The decade from 1983 to 1993 was the decade of lip-syncing in the Spring Festival Gala.
It was not until 1994 that Lang Kun took over the Spring Festival Gala. He proposed the concept of "real singing", saying that "real singing must replace lip-syncing to restore art to its original state."
However, since it is real singing, the selection of singers must be quite strict, but that year it was not the singers who were tone-deaf who were screened out, but the Queen Princess.
In fact, the Princess was already very popular in 1994. The interview gif on the Internet in which she confidently smiled shyly and said that her "biggest worry is being too popular" was in 1994.
In the Spring Festival Gala in 1995 and 1996, there were real singing and lip-syncing. Generally, folk singers sang real singing, while actors and pop singers lip-synced.
1997 was a special year, Yuan Dewang required everyone to lip-sync.
The 1998 Spring Festival Gala had the highest ratings in the 1990s. After four years, Wang Fei, who was eliminated last time for real singing, appeared on the Spring Festival Gala this time and lip-synced with Na Ying.
In 1999, it was real singing, and Mei Yanfang was out of tune many times. She cried when she returned to the backstage after singing.
Therefore, Hong Kong singers are not much better than mainland singers.
Because of Mei Yanfang's incident, the Spring Festival Galas in 2000 and 2001 were all lip-synced.
In 2002, real singing appeared again in the Spring Festival Gala. Coincidentally, Cui Jian launched a vigorous real singing campaign that year, and many well-known singers signed it. However, Na Ying clearly expressed his opposition at the time because Cui Jian specifically pointed out that Na Ying lip-synced.
So in 2002, it was part lip-syncing and part real singing.
Folk songs are mainly real singing, pop songs are mainly lip-syncing, mainland singers are mainly real singing, and Hong Kong and Taiwan singers are mainly lip-syncing.
Of course, mainland singers failed the trust of the chief director, for example, Siqin Gerile's singing was a serious car accident.
Later, lip-syncing was restored in 2003 and 2004.
In 2003, Lin Yilian performed "At Least I Have You" for the first time on the Spring Festival Gala, and in 2004, Jay Chou performed "Dragon Fist" for the first time on the Spring Festival Gala. They were all lip-synced.
The 2005 Spring Festival Gala was a very special year, because the director of this year was Lang Kun, who first proposed the "Spring Festival Gala real singing concept" in 1994.
But in fact, the 2005 Spring Festival Gala was a "Spring Festival Gala with lip-syncing under the banner of real singing".
In this regard, Lang Kun explained that as long as it is real singing, it is considered real singing. In other words, when the singer lip-syncs during the performance, as long as it is his own voice, it is not considered lip-syncing. If someone else sings for you, it is called lip-syncing.
This year, the 2006 Spring Festival Gala is directed by Lang Kun again.
Because of the protection of this "tolerant definition of lip-syncing", all the singing and dancing programs on stage this year were required to lip-sync without any suspense.
Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi were no exception.
What to do?
For justice, must we stand up?
Forget it.
Hao Yun is as smooth as an eel. If he had a little more so-called "sense of justice" as he came from the countryside, he would not have come to this point today.
No matter how many cheats he opened, it would be useless.
They had rehearsed lip syncing before, so Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi did not feel any pressure.
They were not even as nervous as Aunt Liu and Grandma Liu.
They sat in the audience, waiting for Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi to go on stage, feeling uneasy.
What if Xixi stepped on her skirt and fell?
What if she was so nervous that she cried?
The people in Haojiazhuang were calmer than them, because they didn't know what real singing and lip-syncing were, let alone what pressure Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi had on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
They only knew one thing:
Hao Yun was awesome!
Hao is awesome!
The opera started on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year, and people from all over the country came to watch the opera.
The gathering of people attracted many small vendors.
It directly formed a lively "temple fair". When the night of the New Year came, everyone waited in front of the TV, waiting for the appearance of Hao Yun, the tiger of Haojiazhuang.
After Hao Yun took An Xiaoxi to the stage, the whole village was in cheers.
It was like a fire in the ancestral grave.
That was the Spring Festival Gala.
As for the little girl that Hao Yun was holding.
There is nothing to say, except that she is a little thin and I don’t know if she can give birth, the main point is that she is beautiful.
Before Hao Yun’s first appearance on TV, it was Zhou Xun who took him to shoot Shampoo GG.
Let Zhou Xun successfully become the first female star of Haojiazhuang, and clamored for Hao Yun to marry her home.
Now look, Zhou Xun seems to be no longer needed.
Today’s little girl is obviously more beautiful.
Standing and singing with our Yunyun, all kinds of jackals, tigers and leopards... Oh no, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
When Hao Yun's show was over, the whole Haojia Village was engulfed in a sea of fireworks and firecrackers.
The village spent money to purchase a large number of fireworks and firecrackers, and at this moment, the children were allowed to light them to celebrate the success of Hao Yun's Spring Festival Gala performance.
"This daughter-in-law is not bad!"
Gathering at Hao Yun's house, watching the big color TV in his house, the aunts and young aunts in the village surrounded Hao Yun's mother and kept flattering her.
Look at how Hao Yun's family is doing now, and I don't know how much money they have made outside.
The chocolate that everyone rarely eats is packed in sacks, and anyone can eat it at will, and it doesn't matter if you grab a handful and put it in your pocket.
Not to mention ordinary snacks such as melon seeds.
There are also fruits such as oranges and cantaloupes, which can be eaten to death.
"If it's not my daughter-in-law, then it's my colleague..." Hao's mother couldn't control her facial expression, grinning so hard that her cheeks hurt, but she still explained weakly.
"If it's not my daughter-in-law, why are they holding hands? I remember seeing them kissing before."
The aunts and aunts in the village immediately questioned it.
"Oh, they are actors, that's normal, they are city people..." It seems to be an excuse, but in fact they are completely convinced.
This bastard must have sneaked into the girl's bed.
"What's wrong with being a city person? Our Er Gouzi is also a city person now. Oh, it's Yunyun, Yunyun is also a city person."
I accidentally called Hao Yun's "baby name".
Hao's father and mother had another child with Hao Yun, but unfortunately he died before he was out of the confinement period.
In order to prevent God from coming to pick someone up again, they gave the second child a mean name, Er Gouzi.
Of course, when Hao Yun was a little older, he did not allow others to call him that. He seriously corrected others and said that his full name was Hao Yun and his nickname was Yun Yun.
"Alas, Yun Yun has grown up. As a mother, I don't know what he thinks."
Hao's mother sighed.
She was happy that the girls Hao Yun met were so beautiful, which made her very proud.
She was also worried that city girls were difficult to get along with.
Such a beautiful girl, her son would be fascinated by her and would definitely listen to her.
Elbow outward...
"Yun Yun's mother, there is a relative in our family who also found a city person. He disliked that there was no place to take a shower at home and that it was a dry toilet..." A young aunt said alarmist.
"Why is there so much to pay attention to when going to the toilet? How clean can their toilet be!" This group of gossipers gathered together, and they must have talked about all kinds of family matters.
"As the saying goes, if you marry someone from the city, Yunyun's mother will suffer for the rest of her life. It's better to find a girl from the countryside. Rural people are practical and can do everything, like washing clothes and cooking. They are not like city girls who have everything they want."
"Yes, if you find a girl from the city, Yunyun's mother will have to serve them."
"Yunyun's mother, if you want to find a rural wife for Yunyun, my second aunt's granddaughter is the best choice..."
"The one from your second aunt's family is divorced, right?"
"Divorced people know how to love people!"
"What level is Yunyun now? If you introduce her to a second-married woman, chocolate will block your heart, right?"
Fighting, trying to persuade others to stop fighting, how lively it is.
Hao's mother is used to it.
None of these gossiping women is easy to deal with.
Fortunately, if there is anything that needs help, such as harvesting crops and planting land, these women really help with the work.
So, let them make as much noise as they want.
However, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. The dry toilet at home is indeed a bit unhygienic.
The city girls are definitely not used to it.
Let's go to the town tomorrow to find someone to see how to renovate it and build an indoor bathroom.
Install an air conditioner...
No, just install a few more. I heard that it blows cold air in summer and hot air in winter.
Hao Yun gave them some money whenever he had time.
They didn't have much to spend, and they had saved hundreds of thousands.
If the child was good enough and brought back a city wife, the family couldn't be left behind.
After Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi finished their performance, they slipped off the stage to continue watching the Spring Festival Gala with Aunt Liu and Grandma Liu.
Until the Spring Festival Gala ended, everyone went home.
The next day, the feedback on the Spring Festival Gala was overwhelming.
Some said it was good, and some said it was not.
In fact, since the day the Spring Festival Gala was born, there has never been a national praise.
It's just that people at that time had fewer entertainment programs to access, and the Spring Festival Gala was a spiritual feast.
In the past, people might only watch one Spring Festival Gala throughout the year, but now you can basically see different forms of galas on TV every week.
As people have more knowledge and their appreciation level has improved, the Spring Festival Gala has become less and less able to satisfy everyone's appetite.
But the Spring Festival Gala is a tradition. If it is really not held one year, most people may still be reluctant to let it go.
This year's Spring Festival Gala generally believes that the old faces are tired of seeing.
Only a few new faces are eye-catching. The appearance of Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi makes many young people feel that their aesthetics is comforted.
An Ran and Wu Yang's fans are particularly happy.
Because there are a large number of passers-by who recognize this p on the Internet.
What you like is also good for others. Happiness is so simple.
After the Spring Festival Gala, everyone starts to visit relatives and friends in the new year.
Jiang Wen also took great pains for Hao Yun, his last disciple. He left Zhou Yun, who was eight months pregnant, and took Hao Yun to visit the bigwigs in the capital.
"Go to the third master's house." Jiang Wen signaled the assistant to drive.
"Uncle Jiang, have you seen Ma Shi Tu's work?" Hao Yun sat next to Jiang Wen. Now that the Spring Festival Gala was over, he finally decided to gradually spread the script of "Let the Bullets Fly" in front of Jiang Wen.
It was impossible to take it out directly. Even if he did, Jiang Wen would change it beyond recognition. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't change it.
It would be better to guide the topic little by little and gradually form a script suitable for Jiang Wen.
"I've seen some of it, but I don't remember it very well. It may have been a while." Jiang Wen didn't know why Hao Yun mentioned this.
But he didn't think it was strange.
The two of them often chatted about everything, not just movies, but also about ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries.
"I've been reading "The Complete Works of Ma Shi Tu" recently, and there are many interesting stories in it."
"Oh, do you have any inspiration?" Jiang Wen immediately became interested.
Hao Yun often discussed the scripts "created" by him with Jiang Wen. His "The Head of the Regiment" clearly stated "Why did we almost lose our country, and why did we not lose our country", which was highly affirmed by Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wen also helped a lot in finding a father for "The Head of the Regiment".
"At present, I just have some ideas. I'm reading this story." Hao Yun took out the book.
"Ten Night Tales" is a long novel, but it is only over 300,000 words. "The Story of Stealing Officials" is one of them, and the number of words is even less.
Jiang Wen quickly browsed through it and gave his own evaluation.
"This story is a good story, but it's a bit ordinary."
The prototype of the story of "The Story of Stealing Officials" seems to be nothing special today after the drastic changes in the cultural environment. In today's consumer culture, the legendary story of a civilian hero and a green forest hero can no longer arouse the lofty ambitions of modern people.
The story framework is not complicated. It tells the story of an ignorant boy whose family was persecuted to death by the big landlords and gentry at that time. After the boy grew up, he established his own mountain, recruited soldiers and horses, robbed the rich to help the poor, and took advantage of the shortcomings of the world at that time to become an official from a thief, and finally killed his enemy.
The tragic return at the end of the story - "Zhang Muzhi" was killed - was expected.
Such a tragic ending is undoubtedly more in line with the irony of the work. It can be said to be more exaggerated to achieve the purpose of compassion and warning.
Of course, the story is just a shell, and the flesh and blood in the shell are the spiritual core of the work.
"Is the story important?" Hao Yun asked back.
Jiang Wen thought for a moment and asked, "Is the story not important?"
"Which movie of yours has an important story?" Hao Yun asked bluntly.
Jiang Wen immediately fell silent.
"I think so. If this story is adapted..." Hao Yun began to simply talk about his own ideas.
Jiang Wen's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened.
Hao Yun just said it very directly. The story is not important. What is important is what is put into the story.
Of course, the story is not important in a relative sense.
The two chatted for a while and arrived at Han Sanping's door.
"Why not go back?" Jiang Wen suddenly didn't want to go to Han Sanping to wish him a happy new year. Han Sanping was sticky and didn't know when he would come out again after entering this door.
"This... is not good." Hao Yun was speechless.
"He doesn't need me to wish him a happy new year. There are many people wishing him a happy new year. Let's go!" Jiang Wen waved his hand, and the assistant who knew him well turned around.
"How about making a phone call to explain?" Hao Yun felt that if he saw Han Sanping ban Jiang Wen one day, he would not feel strange.
Han Sanping really has no shortage of visitors.
But when he heard that Jiang Wen was coming, he turned down all other appointments, prepared a table of dishes, and brewed the best tea...
What happened?
Sorry, I just arrived at your door and suddenly didn't want to go in.
What's the difference between this and the last-minute visit, then pulling up your pants and turning around and leaving?
