036 The Uncle and Aunt on TV Are Saying Hello (2 in 1)
Beijing, a certain residential building
Meng Xiaoguang, her twin sister Meng Xiaomang and her four-year-old cousin Meng Xiaoliang were watching "The Windmill" in front of the TV.
The young He Dan, still known as Caterpillar at this time, was one of the leading hosts of CCTV Children's Channel. He co-hosted the children's educational program "Smart House" under "Windmill" with Scarab.
However, this is the countdown to He Dan's career at CCTV. After the Spring Festival, he will go to Hunan TV station to take up a job, co-hosting "Happy Camp" which was launched last year with Li Xiang.
Brother and sister Meng Xiaoguang are already in the first grade of junior high school and have little interest in "Smart House".
However, other stations are now broadcasting "Xinwen Lianbo", so I can only use it to pass the time.
Meng Xiaoliang is young and suitable for this program. He was so fascinated by it that he couldn't bear to take his eyes away.
Lao Meng was at the dining table not far away, drinking peanuts and drinking wine. From time to time he raised his head and said, "Have you tuned up the channel to watch the performance of "Water Margin"?"
"We said it would be on air at 8 o'clock, but it's only 7:30."
Meng Xiaoguang was very dissatisfied with Lao Meng's urging, but when he saw Lao Meng's eyes widening, he still changed the channel obediently.
As expected, CCTV was broadcasting "Weather Forecast".
Magic City, heavy rain!
Meng Xiaoguang became arrogant and glared at his father. Old Mengli ignored him and continued to taste his Erguotou.
"Dad, I'm hungry."
Meng Xiaomang rubbed his belly and ran to the dining table. Lao Meng felt sorry for his daughter: "You are hungry. I will serve you some food. There is rice in the pot."
Lao Meng had just arrived in the kitchen with a plate when there was a sound at the door. Xiao Hua, the head of the Meng family, came back from get off work.
"Why are you back so late today?"
"That bastard Liu Baldzi insisted on holding a summary meeting after get off work, and made fun of his grandma. He kept beeping for more than an hour on something serious and annoyed me to death."
Xiao Hua got angry when she mentioned her work unit, so Lao Meng decisively went to the kitchen and took out the vegetables that were stuck in the pot.
"Wash your hands and eat."
The family ate at the dining table, and Lao Meng was afraid that Xiao Hua would complain about the boss of his work unit and instigate his son.
"Let's see if there's a singing station."
Meng Xiaoguang took the remote control and fiddled with it for a while, and finally found a song request column on CCTV 3, which at this time was still about opera and music.
"I can follow you
Like a shadow dreamwalking after the light
I can wait at this intersection
Whether you will pass by or not
…”
"What the hell are you singing? It doesn't sound good."
Lao Meng was the most impatient of these love affairs. He raised his hand and asked the toolman's son to change the channel, but his daughter stopped him.
"Don't change, I like listening to this song."
Although the overall popularity of "Light Chaser" is not as good as "Ten Thousand Reasons", it has more die-hard fans, especially among student groups. It is currently a must-copy track in the "lyric book".
Xiao Hua also said: "Don't change it, it sounds good."
"Does it sound good?"
Lao Meng was a little suspicious and looked at Meng Xiaoguang, who did not express his opinion in the end, hoping to get his son's support.
Meng Xiaoguang glanced at his mother and sister, mainly his mother, and then nodded firmly.
"Sounds good."
Meng Xiaoliang was confused, but seeing that her cousins all said it sounded good, she followed suit.
Four to one, Lao Meng was completely defeated and could only vent his resentment on the free rice in front of him.
After "Light Chaser" finished playing, two more songs were played, and the screen turned to reveal the plot editing of "Water Margin", with figures of Liangshan heroes appearing one after another.
"Hey ha!"
Accompanied by a few shouts, a burst of passionate melody sounded, and the TV broadcast the heroic chanting of a group of people.
"Brother one, two, three, four, five
There are tens of millions of brothers
Brothers one, two, three, four, five
There are tens of millions of brothers
Huhu, eh~hehe
…”
As the scene from "Water Margin" disappears, a recording studio reappears on the screen, where Cao Xuan originally recorded the song.
"Isn't this Ximen Qing?"
Lao Meng was stunned and recognized Cao Xuan, and Cao Xuan also spoke on the TV.
"When brothers meet, three bowls of wine
Brothers discussing Taoism, two cups of tea
Brothers go into battle, a pack of wolves
Brothers pulling a cart with eight horses
Hoho..."
Lao Meng was completely confused. The song was very nice, and the melody and lyrics were also interesting. But the person singing the song was getting more and more awkward the more he looked at it.
Fortunately, Cao Xuan only showed his face, and then various scenes from "Water Margin" were edited.
At the climax of the second chorus of "Countless Brothers", the recording studio footage appeared again, but this time it was not Cao Xuan, but Li Xuejian, Zang Jinsheng, Zhao Xiaorui, Ding Haifeng and other Liangshan heroes.
Everyone sang in unison into the microphone. Regardless of whether it sounded good or not, it was very powerful.
"Brothers protect the country, and the three armies are strong
Brothers bring peace to the people, and will be praised forever
Brothers have two surnames in this life
Brothers in the next life, one mother
Brothers water war, thousand boats
Brothers go out of the fortress, a hundred Jia
…”
After the heroes of Liangshan roared the chorus, Cao Xuan's voice sounded, and the lyrical melody of vicissitudes ended the song.
"Brotherhood
Infinite brilliance in the world of mortals
Brotherhood is wine without sex
Brotherhood is a home without walls
…”
This is also the complete version of "Countless Brothers", with Cao Xuan singing most of it solo, and the Liangshan heroes taking care of the group vocals and the climax of the second chorus.
Overall, the quality of the finished product of "Brothers" is still very high.
Therefore, it was used 4 times in the whole play of "Water Margin", namely when Qingfengshan and others rescued Song Jiang and Hua Rong; when Jiangzhou robbed the execution ground; when there was a riot in Tokyo City; and finally when they fought against Fang La in the decisive battle.
Apart from "Wang Jin Beats Gao Qiu", it is the most frequently used episode.
However, "Water Margin" has not yet finished airing. It appeared once in the play, but its popularity is far less than that of "Song of a Heroic Man". Many people even don't know that this song was sung by Cao Xuan.
Lao Meng is a typical example.
Even if he was beaten to death, he would not have expected that a song praising the loyalty of the heroic brothers in Liangshan would actually be written by Ximen Qing.
However, regardless of the fact that the singer is Ximen Qing, the song "Countless Brothers" is still very popular with Lao Meng. He also specially used the topic to teach his son and nephew.
When listening to music, you have to listen to this kind of heroic and heroic songs, which have a taste. Don't listen to those romantic songs, they are whining and not nutritious.
After hearing this, Meng Xiaomang, who knew Cao Xuan because of "Light Chaser", couldn't hold it back.
"Dad, the song you mentioned and the love song just now were all sung by Ximen Qing. His real name is Cao Xuan, and he is a very popular singer."
"Really, you can act and sing, so good?"
Xiao Hua is interested. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Cao Xuan's appearance is a bonus.
Yesterday when "Water Margin" was on the air, Lao Meng kept staring at Pan Jinlian, and Xiao Hua also looked at the handsome Ximen Qing and the strong and straight Wu Song.
"Mom, let me tell you, he is very popular in our school. Many classmates like him, and he wrote this song himself."
Meng Xiaomang, who is barely half a fan of Cao Xuan, gave her mother crazy information on Amway science about Cao Xuan.
The mother and daughter had a heated discussion and regarded Lao Meng as nothing.
Meng Xiaoguang glanced at Lao Meng, whose face was turning green and red, and continued to eat his rice in silence, except for the occasional shrug of his shoulders.
Meng Xiaoliang, who was confused about the situation, glanced at the sulky old Meng and asked stupidly: "Uncle, why don't you move? Are you full?"
Lao Meng: "..."
………
The aggrieved Lao Meng waited until "Water Margin" started broadcasting at 8 o'clock before he recovered, and stayed in front of the TV with his head down.
Xiao Hua, who had finished washing the dishes, and brother and sister Meng Xiaoguang and Meng Xiaoliang, who did not have to go to school on the second day of winter vacation, also watched the drama together.
As mentioned earlier, after Wu Song left, Ximen Qing, who was extremely cowardly and greedy for Pan Jinlian, entrusted Wang Po for help.
As the owner of "Wang Ganniang Tea Club", Wang Po has a long history of experience and is very capable.
She gave Ximen Qing the five killer moves "Pan Donkey and Deng Xiaoxian" from "The Book of Pao Liang", and she herself used a ten-step plan to lure Pan Jinlian into the water.
Step by step, he tested Pan Jinlian's bottom line, and finally lured Pan Jinlian into the trap and helped Ximen Qing get his wish.
Mrs. Li Mingqi is a seasoned actress. The wife he plays rarely shows her evil nature in the early stages of the plot, especially when it comes to the Wu Da family. She spends most of the time as a warm and simple old woman next door.
The old lady shaped her like this on purpose.
Firstly, only such a royal mother-in-law can make the Wuhan University couple relax their vigilance. Secondly, it seems that good people do bad things more and more, which creates a more dramatic effect.
Sure enough, Xiao Hua couldn't help scolding her when she saw Wang Po in the TV series constantly tricking Pan Jinlian.
"This royal lady is so bad. She is the one who stirs up trouble."
"A smile hides a knife. This kind of person is the most poisonous and the most difficult to guard against."
Lao Meng nodded in agreement, that's how it is in reality, you are not afraid of bad guys who come overtly, but you are afraid of Lao Yin criticizing you who will be intimate with you on the surface but secretly attack you.
Hard to guard against!
At this age, the Meng Xiaoguang brothers and sisters can already vaguely understand their parents' words.
Although Meng Xiaoliang was ignorant about this, he knew from the adults' tone and eyes that the old lady TV was not a good person, and felt disgusted.
The family scolded Mrs. Wang, and after some preparation in the play, Ximen Qing finally hooked up with Pan Jinlian.
Lao Meng was trembling with excitement. Xiao Hua was also looking forward to it, but she still had some sense and kept urging Meng Xiaoguang and his sister to take Meng Xiaoliang to wash up.
But it was too late, Ximen Qing grabbed Jinlian's feet, said a few words, and started to slap him.
"Well... um... ah..."
Xiao Hua quickly covered the eyes of the girl next to her, and when she looked to the side, her son was watching TV blankly.
I was just about to let Lao Meng stop me, but I didn't expect that Lao Meng looked at it more seriously than his son, and his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Xiao Hua was so angry that she kicked Lao Meng hard. Only then did Lao Meng react and smash the heads of his son and nephew to the side, then turned to look at the TV.
Ximen Qing carried Pan Jinlian into the curtain, and the camera turned to Granny Wang on the street.
"That's it!?"
Lao Meng was furious. What's the difference between using ellipses at key points in a novel? If you don't read the most important points, you'll just be talking about them.
But it was useless no matter how angry Lao Meng was. Even if the crew actually filmed it, they couldn't let it go.
After letting go of their hands, the already sensible brother and sister Meng Xiaoguang pouted secretly, while the other blushed shyly. Only the inexperienced Meng Xiaoliang looked at Lao Meng in confusion.
"Uncle, what are the uncles and aunties doing on TV? Why don't you let us watch them?"
"Ahem."
Lao Meng looked at his innocent nephew, feeling a little embarrassed, and said nonchalantly: "Uncle and aunt are greeting each other. It is an ancient etiquette, expressing cordiality and friendship."
Meng Xiaoguang next to him couldn't help laughing.
If he remembered correctly, when he was a child, he and his sister watched "Ju Dou" with their father. In it, the male and female protagonists had a passionate scene, and his father deceived them and said that the male and female protagonists were fighting.
It wasn't until the sixth grade that he saw an unabridged pirated version of "Xun Qin Ji" from a classmate, and he immediately opened the door to a new world.
Meng Xiaoliang, who was new to the world, believed Lao Meng's words and suddenly realized: "It turns out this is a greeting. That day I saw that my parents also..."
"do not talk!"
Lao Meng had a headache and covered his nephew's mouth, and looked at Xiao Hua for help. Xiao Hua gave him a blank look, took his children and nephew back to the room, and came out after a while.
"Okay, I'll let them read. Don't talk nonsense in the future. Children are like rain when they hear the wind."
"knew."
Lao Meng responded, and the couple continued to watch the show. Without the child beside them, the two talked more casually.
"Pan Jinlian is so beautiful, and Ximen Qing is so blessed."
"Why, you are greedy."
"What am I greedy for? Are you not making small talk? A hooligan like this who broke shoes would have been dragged out and executed two years ago."
"hehe."
Let’s talk about the plot again. Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing’s first passionate scene was actually not filmed very much, and only dozens of seconds of footage flashed by.
The heavyweight Ximen Qing then came to see Pan Jinlian, and the two had a rather violent kissing scene in the backyard of the Wu family, from the yard to the house, and finally kissed on the table.
One word, exciting!
What Lao Meng saw was that his blood was rising, and Xiao Hua couldn't help but blush.
This is also the only kiss scene where Cao Xuan and Wang Siyi touch each other's lips, most of the other scenes are neck-butting.
That is to say, CCTV has great capabilities. If it were an ordinary provincial station, it would really not be possible to broadcast such a large-scale drama.
The official and Pan Jinlian fought fiercely, and there was no airtight wall on the street. As time went by, Wuhan University also noticed something fishy.
On this day, Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing met at Wang Po Tea House, and they had another fight, but this time they were particularly gentle afterwards.
Cao Xuan also contributed his own erotic scenes. Not to mention his strong muscles, he dazzled the eyes of many young girls and young wives.
The gentlemen all stared at Pan Jinlian wearing a bellyband...
Just like the Pan Jinlian bathing scene mentioned above, each of the passionate scenes in "Water Margin" also has its own role.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the first hookup, but the second time at Wuhan University was to hint that Pan Jinlian was completely emotional, and at the same time to pave the way for Wuhan University to become suspicious.
And this third time is the famous scene in "Water Margin" where Wu Da caught a traitor.
Song Wenhua, who had won several martial arts championships in the capital, had no use for his skills and was "rewarded" by Cao Xuan.
There is no need to act, the feeling of Wu Dalang's humiliation and weakness fills the entire screen.
The woman looked at him and felt pity.
The man saw the rabbit die and the fox was sad.
He turned around and scolded Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian, a couple of losers, and Po Wang, a pest.
But scolding is enough, this kind of peachy plot has a huge impact on the audience who are still relatively conservative now, and makes everyone feel a little distraught.
Xiao Hua, for example, stood up and took a look at Lao Meng after "Water Margin" finished playing.
"Elbow, follow me into the house."
Lao Meng suddenly felt numbness in his waist and eyes, and his mouth was bitter: "How about I sleep on the sofa today."
Without saying a word, Xiao Hua held Lao Meng's ear and entered the bedroom.
