Chapter 233 Spring Festival Gala, encounter in the new century!

2001, January 23.

Today is New Year's Eve.

This morning, Jiang Xiaofeng fell asleep at Taohong's parents' house and woke up naturally.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Xiaofeng and Taohong posted Spring Festival couplets together, and also posted windows, the word "Fu", etc.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng and Tao Hong have been together for so many years and have never obtained a marriage certificate, Tao's father and Tao's mother were very pleased to see that Jiang Xiaofeng still treated Tao Hong and the old couple as before.

Moreover, Tao Hong also told her mother about her recent preparations for pregnancy, which also made Tao's father and mother think that good things were about to happen for their daughter and Jiang Xiaofeng.

Because he had to attend the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the evening, Jiang Xiaofeng had lunch at Taohong's parents' house and left first.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng did not go to the CCTV live broadcast room immediately, but went to Liu Xiaoli's house to help the couple put up couplets, put up window grilles, etc.

Liu Xiaoli knew that she had no time to spend with her mother and daughter in the evening, so at 4 o'clock that afternoon, she started making dumplings with her daughter Liu Qianqian, and then cooked a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for Jiang Xiaofeng.

Because there was a performance in the evening, Jiang Xiaofeng did not drink alcohol at all, so he drank the information instead of drinking and toasted with Liu Xiaoli and Liu Qianqian to congratulate the arrival of the New Year.

"Qianqian, uncle wishes you that you will make progress in your studies, be healthy, and become more and more beautiful in the new year!" Jiang Xiaofeng said, taking out a big red envelope from his pocket and handing it to Liu Qianqian.

After living under the same roof for such a long time, Liu Qianqian no longer regarded Jiang Xiaofeng as an outsider, nor was she polite to Jiang Xiaofeng. She reached out to take the red envelope and said with a smile: "Thank you, uncle. Qianqian also wishes uncle good health."

,work well!”

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xiaofeng took out a big red envelope from his pocket and prepared to hand it to Liu Xiaoli.

Liu Xiaoli also looked happy when she saw this, and said with a smile: "I'm not a child, why do you keep red envelopes for me?"

"Besides, I didn't prepare any gifts for you, I..."

Before Liu Xiaoli could finish her words, Jiang Xiaofeng interrupted: "It's Chinese New Year. It's auspicious. Take it. I wish you good health and will always be as beautiful as you are now!"

Jiang Xiaofeng said and handed the red envelope to Liu Xiaoli.

Liu Xiaoli felt coy for a moment, but she still accepted the red envelope shyly and happily, saying: "Thank you, I also wish you good health and all the best!"

Just talking and laughing like this, Jiang Xiaofeng and Liu Xiaoli's family of three finished the New Year's Eve dinner.

Jiang Xiaofeng took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It happened to be 5:30, and he wanted to have a cup of tea before setting off.

Knowing that Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to drink tea, Liu Xiaoli quickly came over to boil water for tea.

After brewing the tea, Liu Xiaoli asked with concern: "Are you going to come back to sleep at night?"

Jiang Xiaofeng took a sip of tea, thinking that he might have a happy time with Wang Fei that night, so he replied: "I won't go back, there is a party tonight."

Regarding Jiang Xiaofeng's answer, Liu Xiaoli did not force it, nor was she too disappointed, because Jiang Xiaofeng was able to take time out of his busy schedule to have a New Year's Eve dinner with her, which was already a very luxurious thing in itself.

7pm.

Jiang Xiaofeng and Wang Fei arrived at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala backstage lounge.

Because Jiang Xiaofeng and Wang Fei are both top celebrities in China, the Spring Festival Gala director team was also very considerate and arranged a lounge for Jiang Xiaofeng and Wang Fei respectively.

During this period, Zhang Ziyi, who had already become famous internationally, made a special trip to Jiang Xiaofeng's lounge to get acquainted with him because she wanted to sing a song with Ekin Cheng in Hong Kong.

Although Zhang Ziyi has now become well-known at home and abroad with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", she still respects and admires Jiang Xiaofeng who is a capital in the domestic film and television industry.

Moreover, as early as a few years ago, when Jiang Xiaofeng went to look for Taohong and Xia Yu at the Central Theater Company, Zhang Ziyi had met Jiang Xiaofeng once. When she met Jiang Xiaofeng this time, she felt like an old friend.

Zhang Ziyi was still full of regrets and chatted with Jiang Xiaofeng about the CCTV version of "The Swordsman".

"Director Jiang, originally I wanted to cooperate with you in the drama "The Swordsman". Later, director Zhang Yimou found out about it and refused to let me film it. He said it was not good to make a TV series, but I just want to cooperate with you..."

In fact, the reason why Zhang Ziyi wanted to star in "The Swordsman" was mainly because of the 2 million salary offered to her by the "bearded" Zhang Jizhong.

Although Zhang Ziyi's salary of 2 million is not as good as Jiang Xiaofeng's salary of 4 million, it is still a very high salary these days. That is, "The Swordsman", which invested more than 40 million, can pay such a high salary.

remuneration.

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "Zi Yi, Director Yimou is right. Since you are an international superstar now, there is no need to act in TV series anymore."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng praise herself as an "international superstar", Zhang Ziyi felt happy, but she actually knew in her heart that the so-called "international superstar" just sounded nice.

In terms of earning power, Zhang Ziyi knew very well that she couldn't even see the taillights of Jiang Xiaofeng's car.

Because as early as a few years ago, Jiang Xiaofeng had already achieved an annual income of 100 million by virtue of his terrifying achievements in the music industry.

With an annual income of 100 million, what is the concept in China today?

Let's put it this way, in the ranking of mainland China's richest people in 2000, as long as the total assets reached 350 million, one would be in the top 100.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng is not on the list, many people in the circle know that Jiang Xiaofeng is a veritable invisible rich man.

There are even rumors that Jiang Xiaofeng's total net worth is estimated to be between 500 million and 1 billion.

Jiang Xiaofeng has never given a positive explanation for the speculation and comments from the outside world, and deliberately denied the rumors: "How is it possible? There are not so many."

In fact, only Jiang Xiaofeng himself knew that, including real estate, deposits, and the working capital of two companies, his worth had already exceeded 1 billion. As for the specific amount, he himself did not know the exact amount because he had not calculated it carefully.

Not to mention anything else, Xu Huaiyu, who is signed to his own record company, has helped him earn an average of 20 million yuan per year in the past three years.

During this conversation, Zhang Ziyi also exchanged mobile phone numbers with Jiang Xiaofeng and said that she would learn singing from Jiang Xiaofeng in the future.

Not long after Zhang Ziyi left, Wang Fei from next door couldn't wait any longer and came over to visit.

Wang Fei's first words after closing the door were to Jiang Xiaofeng: "I'm nervous, are you nervous?"

Jiang Xiaofeng asked in disbelief: "Sister Fei, you have never seen any big scenes. It was just the Spring Festival Gala. Are you so nervous?"

Because the door was locked and her bodyguards and assistants were guarding the outside, Wang Fei snuggled into Jiang Xiaofeng's arms and said, "Who said I shouldn't be nervous?"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter if you're nervous, it's all lip-syncing anyway, so it's not a big problem."

Wang Fei said: "It's because I have to lip-sync that I feel nervous, because I'm afraid that my mouth shape won't match up."

Jiang Xiaofeng then comforted: "It's okay, we have hearing loss, don't think too much,"

With Jiang Xiaofeng's company and comfort, Wang Fei gradually relaxed and became less nervous.

At the same time, the major programs of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala have also begun to meet the national audience one after another as time passes.

It is worth mentioning that because the year 2000 is a new century, our country has always wanted to host the Olympic Games, and Yanjing’s slogans for the Olympic bid have also been rising one after another. Therefore, the program with the theme of the Olympic bid has naturally appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

The cross talk "Let's Give It a Try" performed by Xiao Lin, Wang Ping, Yin Zhuolin and Zhao Baole, and the song "Let's Come Together" sung by Liu Huan, both showed the current enthusiasm of the Chinese people for Yanjing's Olympic bid.

The cross talk program of this Spring Festival Gala has received a lot of praise. Although Jiang Kun's performance of "Stepping on the Foot" has an absurd plot and a large amount of information, it directly hits social hot spots and is endlessly memorable. While cheering, people can't help but think deeply.

There is also the cross talk "Drama Fan" performed by Liu Junjie and Tang Jiezhong, which perfectly combines the elements of drama and cross talk, and is also a unique innovation.

The sketch program has always been the most exciting in the Spring Festival Gala, and it certainly did not disappoint the audience.

For example, the skit "Animal Games" combines skits with acrobatics. The audience cheered and applauded endlessly. It is humorous and deeply loved by young people.

The sketch "Selling Kidnapping" by Zhao Bensan, Gao Xiumin, and Fan Wei made the term "big liar" a buzzword at the time, and it became synonymous with liars.

As a literary and artistic worker, Zhao Bensan has always brought joy to everyone and benefited the people through sketches and other forms of artistic expression. It is really admirable!

Of course, in Zhao Bensan's sketches, he never likes to preach, nor does he like to be miserable. Just one sentence: Just have fun and that's it!
