Chapter 221 220. Evil Power

Song and dance performances have always been a big part of the Spring Festival Gala. To be more precise, apart from language performances, there are song and dance performances.

There are also some niche types such as acrobatics, magic, opera, and kung fu in between.

Song and dance performances have always had a common problem, that is, watching them on the TV screen and watching them live are completely different experiences.

Many songs and dances are very exciting to watch live, with uniform movements and the actors performing very spiritedly.

But once they are broadcast through the camera, many viewers will immediately feel bored and often choose to skip them.

This situation is especially applicable to those songs and dances that do not have big stars to support the scene, which are simply evening party dances.

But Maikou's dance can break this inertia. Although the small screen viewing is not as impactful as the live scene, it is also fascinating and can't stop.

"Mingming, how is it? This is the idol that mom and dad used to chase. Do you see it?"

The mother looked at her son who had been stunned for 5 minutes, and asked in a boastful manner while picking food into his bowl.

The son still hadn't recovered from the performance. He held the chopsticks in the air with his mouth slightly open.

He continued the whole song with one movement.

The powerful drum beats, dynamic rhythm, harmonious rhythm and the perfect timing kept echoing in his mind.

"Stupefied? That's normal. I was also shocked when I first saw it." Dad said with a smile.

"He dances so well."

"Better than Jay Chou's somersaults?"

The son nodded: "Although I don't understand the lyrics, the dance and stage effects are simply overwhelming. Long Quan's performance is like a car accident compared to him."

"It should be said that all other songs and dances are like car accidents or earthquakes compared to this performance."

The son suddenly looked at his mother: "Mom, I want to learn to dance, so I'll learn this."

"Let your dad teach you."

"Uh"

After the performance of Maikou in the Spring Festival Gala studio, thunderous applause resounded throughout the audience.

Even many veteran cadres could not help but sink into this performance form that they had never seen before.

After the climax, like a man who entered the time of a sage, most of the following programs became boring, except for "Golden Monkey Makes Spring" brought by Liu Xiaolingtong.

Watching the dazzling monkey show, the vivid performance is indeed the first person in monkey show, and the irreplaceable Monkey King Sun Dasheng in the hearts of many people.

As for Liu Xiaolingtong, like many stars in the Internet era, his reputation has also experienced a car accident.

Especially at the funeral of director Yang Jie, the so-called mourning hall selling films appeared, which instantly shattered many people's childhood filters.

This situation is particularly serious on Bilibili, with a group of Liuxue experts such as "Where is the film" as the dissemination center, and the most fierce clamor.

When the incident came out, Eric was also caught up in it and shouted a few words like joining in the fun.

But later he woke up and decided to take the initiative to watch the videos that were circulated. After watching the original version, he really found the trick.

The video has obviously been edited, the clothes are inconsistent, and the context of the speech is not edited. It is obviously malicious slander, and the journalism is well learned.

Not only the problem of selling the film in the funeral hall, but also the backdoor entry into the Journey to the West crew, and the four masters and apprentices going to Singapore to perform without Yang Jie's consent, etc., all have serious problems.

He also bought Yang Jie's autobiography at the time, and found that the two autobiographies had completely different statements on the same issue.

To put it bluntly, it is normal for an old lady in her seventies or eighties to forget many things when she dictated to others to write her autobiography.

Moreover, after the incident of selling the film in the funeral hall, Liu Xiaolingtong and Yang Jie's family continued to communicate as usual and their relationship was still very good. If there was a problem, they would have broken off the relationship long ago.

Later, some of their friends dug deep into the matter and gradually found the truth of the incident.

After further investigation, "Where is the film?" was actually a student who was ordered to drop out of school for misconduct. The stage when he made the video was the most impoverished stage, and his sinister intentions were obvious.

Netizens got a big melon and were very happy to eat it, and countless famous memes were born, but they were just a mob used by people with ulterior motives.

They followed blindly, had no opinions, and were even unwilling to find the original film to watch, and only indulged in the pleasure of whipping celebrities.

Due to the large number of people, the law does not punish the masses, and this kind of people have never received any punishment.

The most unlucky ones are Liu Xiaolingtong and people who have similar experiences with him. They have no way to defend themselves and can only endure silently.

After the performance of "Golden Monkey Makes Spring", Eric gave warm applause, which was regarded as an apology for joining the booing at that time.

After several programs, the time came to 12 o'clock, and the whole audience counted down together.

As the Spring Festival Gala was coming to an end, the Alilang group, Siqin Geerle and others brought "Welcome Spring and Sing", and Wang Xia, Wei Song and others brought "Sharing Happiness".

Finally, everyone went on stage to sing "Unforgettable Tonight", and the 2004 Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Monkey came to an end.

"Is it over?" Maikou asked as he watched the actors gradually leave the stage after singing the song.

Eric nodded: "This is the last chorus, it's over, let's go quickly."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Someone told me that there will be a fireworks show, so I must watch it. It's beautiful."

Eric pulled his hand and stood up. If he didn't leave now, he would be unable to leave later.

But unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Before they even reached the door of the studio, they were surrounded.

To be precise, it was Michael who was surrounded. No one was coming for Eric. The huge crowd squeezed him out.

They were all actors and audiences. They were not Lao Han and did not know Eric's identity.

Perhaps in other people's eyes, Eric was Michael's bodyguard, but this bodyguard was too thin and too handsome.

However, no matter how handsome he was, he could not compare with the world pop king who had just brought everyone an unparalleled shocking enjoyment.

"Michael, give me an autograph."

"Michael, let's take a photo together. You are so handsome!"

"Michael, Michael, look here, look at me here!"

Although most of them spoke Chinese, the battle-hardened Michael still understood what they wanted and signed one by one with a smile.

Jay Chou came behind Eric without knowing when: "Mr. Cooper, I still want to treat you to dinner, but looking at this situation, I am afraid there is no chance."

Eric shook his head slightly. They were lucky to be able to walk out in an hour.

Sure enough, when the two left the TV station, it was already past two in the middle of the night.

Too enthusiastic, too enthusiastic indeed.

Maikou had been in business for almost two hours, but many people still wanted to approach him.

In the end, there was really no other way, so CCTV came up with a solution.

They simply gathered everyone together, took a big group photo, and then recorded the people who took the photo, and promised to send the photo to everyone later, and the two of them got away.

As for treating everyone to a meal, seeing that Maikou was exhausted, no one dared to mention it again.

Back to the hotel, after taking a shower, Eric fell into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already past nine in the morning.

Pulling open the curtains to let the sunlight into the room, he felt much more comfortable.

Eric turned on his mobile phone and saw several text messages displayed on the screen.

One of them was from an unfamiliar number, and after clicking it, it turned out to be sent by the director of CCTV.

"Hello Mr. Cooper, I'm Chen Quan. I'm sending this message to tell you a good news."

"The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala have been counted. The peak is when Mr. Michael Jackson performs. Please tell him the good news."

When we arrived at the restaurant, Michael was eating here.

He was eating the tofu pudding with fried pouches recommended by Eric, and he can eat chili peppers.

"Michael, won't your throat get hurt if you eat so many chili peppers? I heard that singers have many taboos to maintain their voices."

Michael scooped a large spoonful of tofu pudding and sucked it into his mouth: "This soup is delicious with chili peppers, but I usually pay attention to it. Although I like spicy food, I don't eat it often."

"And this fried food is also delicious, and it tastes even better when paired together. It's just that it looks big, and it's different from the ones sold in Chinese restaurants."

"Because Chinese restaurants sell fried dough sticks, there are no eggs in them."

"Yes, there are no eggs, and is this garlic? Why is it not spicy at all, but sweet instead."

Eric looked at the salty garlic cloves in his hand, and he didn't know how it was made.

"Because it has been processed in a special way, probably soaked in vinegar, I'm not sure."

"By the way, I have good news for you. Last night's performance won the championship in the audience ratings, nearly 52%. If converted into the number of people, more than 600 million people watched your performance at the same time."

Hearing this number, even Michael, who is used to big scenes, couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

"Oh my God! You mean 600 million people!"

"Yes, not 600 million people, not 60 million people, but 600 million people."

After a while, Michael came back to his senses: "You said that the Spring Festival Gala is equivalent to the Super Bowl. It seems that it is much more powerful than the Super Bowl. So I suddenly became a big star in China?"

"Wait, when I came to the restaurant just now, no wonder the waiter immediately asked for an autograph. It turned out that they all watched last night's show."

"600 million people, my God, this is simply unimaginable. There are only 200 million people in the United States."

After breakfast, the two prepared to climb the Great Wall as planned.

Since it was during the New Year holiday, the Badaling Great Wall must have a huge flow of people, so Eric chose to go to the Jiuyanlou Great Wall.

I thought it would be more convenient, but when I arrived at the destination, I found that there were also many people here.

I had just got off the car and walked a few steps. Even with sunglasses and a mask, Maikou was still recognized.

Then he signed autographs and took photos, and finally climbed up.

Looking at the steep terrain under his feet, Maikou couldn't help but sigh: "It's just as beautiful and spectacular as the photos on the Internet. Does it really have a history of thousands of years?"

Eric waved his hand: "If we start from the earliest Great Wall, it has been more than 2,000 years ago. However, after the Qin Dynasty fell, the subsequent dynasties also built the Great Wall."

"The one under our feet is about 400 to 500 years old. It has also been repaired in the middle. It shows the splendid ancient culture of China."

"Four or five hundred years is also a long time. The United States has only been founded for more than 200 years. China is really a beautiful and mysterious country. I like it here very much."

After playing in Yanjing with Maikou for a day, he returned to the hotel to rest at night, and Eric had to have a meal with Lao Zhou, Lao Han and others.

In a private club box.

The 30-year-old female director brought by Zhou Xiaopeng was pouring wine for several people.

In fact, the club provides wine dispensers, but Lao Zhou didn't use them. He brought a woman here specifically to do this.

After it was full, he raised his glass again: "For the second glass, we congratulate Old Han on his promotion. Now the host becomes abbot, and his future is bright!"

Boom!

Everyone drank again.

The female director refilled the glasses for several more people, and Zhou Xiaopeng toasted for the third time: "One last toast to Eric. This big event is settled. From now on, MGM's film and television works will enter the country, a win-win situation!"

Gudong!

The third cup was another sip, showing a person with deep feelings.

After all, for human beings, there are few things in the world that are more emotional than common interests.

"Eric, Lao Chen didn't come because he had something to do, but Optoelectronics has already communicated with our Yanjing Satellite TV, and the first TV series will be produced by our station."

"What are your thoughts? What genre do you plan to choose for your first play?"

Eric put down his chopsticks, that was the highlight of tonight's meal.

"This is how I think about it. In the past few years before I joined MGM, the company was not developing smoothly and it did not produce new dramas."

"Forget about those dramas that are old, they can't keep up with the times."

"Now MGM has several new dramas, some of which have been completed, and some of which are nearly completed, including political thrillers, apocalyptic survival, supernatural stories, thrillers, etc."

"The doomsday survival you're talking about is the movie "The Walking Dead," right?"

"right."

"I'll put this one aside for now. The scale is too big. It's okay to put it on the Internet. The TV station is a bit too big. What about the scale of the other ones?"

"In terms of standards, "House of Cards" reflects the electoral struggle in the United States, "Hannibal" is a prequel to "Silence of the Lambs", "Supernatural" has ghosts, and "Breaking Bad" is about drug making."

"By the way, Supernatural has one advantage."

"What?"

"Liu Yifei participated in this drama."

"Who is Liu Yifei?" Old Han asked casually.

The female director explained it to him.

"A beautiful new generation actress participated in your play, hahaha"

Old Han looked at Eric and laughed teasingly. It was obvious what he was thinking.

"Dr. Han, after all, she is quite popular in China. Especially after the broadcast of "Dragon Movie", Wang Yuyan made her popularity rise directly to the front line in China."

"Not only does Liu Yifei participate, but "Evil" also has an advantage, that is, there are ghosts but it is not scary. The level of scares may not be as scary as the zombie movies in Hong Kong."

Zhou Xiaopeng thought about it. At this time, there was no rule against becoming a spirit, and ghosts were allowed to appear in TV series and movies.

He slapped the table: "This is "Supernatural"."
