Chapter One Hundred and Twenty: A Hundred Flowers Bloom
There was actually nothing going on today, and I didn’t need to come over in the morning. However, for young artists, arriving a few hours early is almost an unwritten rule.
If you really want to wait for the director to find you, just wait to die!
The venue was very busy, with some staff squatting on the ground to sort out the lines, and some climbing on the beams for the final overhaul.
The person in charge of each position at the front desk, including the sound, lighting, slide rails, high-pitched camera, and radio, is seriously responsible for preparing for their own work.
The backstage staff are also busy, with props, makeup, stage management, and backup dancers all working in an orderly manner to complete the tasks at hand.
The hardest among artists are sketch actors, who have many lines and a long time, and one mistake can lead to complete collapse.
Guo Donglin is an old man and has been to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala many times. The director team is not worried about him at all, but this year he brought an apprentice here. He is twenty-five or six years old. He is a very energetic young man, but he is a little nervous.
The dialogue was smooth when I was off stage, but I was a little bumpy once I was on stage, and I looked at the audience from time to time. This is because I have little experience on the big stage.
Guo Donglin is so angry that he wants to take advantage of him. Can you give me some credit?
Fang Jing sat down and had nothing to do. He simply went to the lounge to play on his mobile phone while he sang. It only took a few minutes and there was no pressure at all.
Open Weibo, wow! I haven’t seen it for a while and it has over 20 million fans. It’s growing so fast. Sure enough, the popularity of the album is different.
It's not in vain that he went to so many variety shows and interviews.
After sending a few pictures of last night’s New Year’s Eve dinner, Fang Jing closed WeChat, then opened his address book and sent New Year messages one by one.
As long as he has contacted colleagues or celebrities in the past six months, he has named Zhao Liying, Wang Baoqiang, Wang Han, He Ling, Shi Hang, Huang Xiaoming, Han Hong, Liu Wei, Yang Ning, Xiao Wenjing...
This post lasts for more than an hour. The key point is that it cannot be sent in groups. Everyone must be different, otherwise it will be embarrassing if others find out.
In other words, Fang Jing read it for nine years on a compulsory basis, scratching his brain, using all the vocabulary he could use, and finally finished it.
"There shouldn't be anyone inside. It will be fine if we go in and sit."
"Crack!"
The door opened, and the two staff members took a look at Fang Jing with their lunch boxes, and immediately bowed and said, "Sorry, Teacher Fang Jing, we didn't know you were here."
This lounge is not exclusive for guests, and they did not expect to meet artists here.
"It's okay! You guys sit down, hey! Is the cafeteria open for dinner?"
Fang Jing stood up and walked towards He Kangsheng's office. Without saying anything, he asked for two meal tickets.
He Kangsheng took out the meal ticket from the cabinet and scolded with a smile, "I asked, do you still have some star-like qualities?"
"It's been a long time since I debuted. Isn't it a shame to still imitate other people's meal tickets? There are so many people, but you are the only one who takes the initiative to ask for tickets."
Logically speaking, everyone who comes here is a guest, and there is nothing wrong with paying a celebrity to come and include a meal, but if they are willing, other celebrities are not.
The price of food in the canteen has dropped a lot, and whoever still has a few tens of dollars left, so the assistant and bodyguard who followed us got a few tickets.
Fang Jing said coquettishly, "What's there to be ashamed of? I went out from here. This is my mother's house. What's wrong with going home to eat?"
"Hahaha!" He Kangsheng was amused by his words, "Okay, okay! You can eat by the way."
"By the way! We launched a new show last week, so come and join us if you have time."
"What show?"
"Jin Xingxiu."
"Okay! Just call Sister Ning and she will arrange it."
Watching Fang Jing go out, He Kangsheng smiled playfully, "Young man is a bit interesting."
Fang Jinggang seemed to be telling a joke, but the signal he conveyed was actually to show goodwill. As a family member, he was not stingy, so Jin Xingxiu treated it as a meeting gift.
This family member recognized him, and if his mother-in-law's family had any difficulty finding Fang Jingtou in the future, he would not be able to refuse.
Although Fang Jing is not very strong now and has to ride on a baby scooter like Happy World, people will grow up one day and when they learn to run, there will be no need for a scooter.
For example, another child who once left their home, Li Yifeng, was not recognized by his family as his natal family, and invitations were rejected every time.
Through this example, they have finally figured out that they have to recognize their relatives as early as possible! But if the children who run away one day do not get along well, don't blame their parents for being snobbish and unwilling to recognize each other.

On February 18, 2015, the first day of the Lunar New Year, at night, twelve TV stations including Shanghai TV, Hunan TV, Yanjing TV, Jinnan TV, and Hui’an TV started the Spring Festival Gala.
Magic City Satellite TV spent a lot of money to invite Principal Tan, and the audience cheered at the beginning. Then Fang Jing, Wu Fan, and the idol group of Bangzi Country, these new generation popular stars appeared one by one, and the atmosphere exploded.
In the back, the well-known gold medal host Xiao Cui, the powerful sketch artist Guo Donglin, and the cross talk giant Jiang Kun all showed off their baggage and made the audience laugh.
In a construction site building in Shanxi Province, four or five hot pots were burning, and the aroma of the fragrant meat base was tangy. Twenty or thirty people were sitting on small benches, eating happily around the stove. There were five or six cases of beer on the floor.
At the front is an old TV set with bricks stacked underneath it over a meter high.
"Brother Fang, you are treating guests to dinner and buying wine today. Are you going to marry Widow Qu?"
"Hahaha!"
"Get out of here, it's still early! Watch TV. I specially picked it up from Old Man Liu down there."
"Yes, yes! Watch TV, but Brother Fang, can you change the channel? What's so interesting about these young people singing and dancing? I want to watch the Anti-Japanese War movie."
"Where's the remote control? I'll change the channel!"
"Just watch this! It's pretty good."
"Forget it, what's so good about these yellow guys? I don't want to see them laughing and joking. It makes me sick when I see them."
"Where's the remote control? Who took it?"
"I don't know, I didn't see it. There are buttons on the TV series. You press it yourself."
Fang Yongfu had a gloomy face and said in a loud voice, "Don't even look for it! It's just one stage. If you don't watch it, get out of here."
"Really, you're embarrassed, right?"
Everyone was silent, no one expected that the foreman would lose such a temper just because he was watching TV.
For a while, there was only the sound of vegetables sizzling from the pot, and everyone ate quietly with their heads buried.
The person who was about to press the TV froze his hand, smiled brightly, and sat back down in despair.
"Day after day"
"Year after year"
"Confused childhood"

Magic City TV is very lively, and Xiangnan TV is not far behind. Various first-line big names frequently perform, and they are all stars that are rarely seen in ordinary times.
What everyone competes for is ratings!
At 9 o'clock, Modu Satellite TV's ratings were 029, temporarily ranking first, leading other satellite TVs for the first time.
Shonan, the strongest team, was pushed back and caught up half an hour later. The queen of the team came out and led the way.
At 10 o'clock, Magic City Satellite TV was evenly matched. Unfortunately, not many people watched the Huagu show that followed. It lost some viewers, and the ratings dropped within a few minutes.
