Chapter 192 Let the old Cao family honor their ancestors' concert location
"I congratulate you on getting rich

I congratulate you wonderful
best please come

bad please go away
People do not blame

......"

Early in the morning, Cao Xuan was awakened by the sound of firecrackers and loudspeakers in the alley.

Just about to swear a few words, when I heard that it was my own "Gong Xi Fa Cai", the "polite words" in my mouth choked back into my stomach again.

He took out his mobile phone, and first sent a text message to his two girlfriends to say New Year greetings. Zeng Li had already woken up and replied quickly. Hu Jing didn't know whether it was filming or sleeping in during the holidays. She waited until Cao Xuan got dressed before calling.

"Happy New Year."

"Happy Chinese New Year, how are you doing on the set?"

This girl is also unlucky. For two consecutive years, she has been filming on the set during the Spring Festival. On the reunion night on New Year's Eve, she was alone in the set with a haha.

"Meng Dao and the others are so picky, they have two half-days off during the Chinese New Year, and Ruirui, Li Qian, Sister Yan and I found a restaurant that is not closed, so we had the New Year's Eve dinner.

I have a rest this morning, and I will be filming in the afternoon. Fortunately, I only have night scenes today, so I can rest. "

"It's so inhumane."

Cao Xuan and Hu Jing complained about Meng Ji, there is no need to hurry up for the Chinese New Year, even if there is no holiday, at least have a decent New Year’s Eve dinner, even some dumplings and glutinous rice balls will warm people’s hearts.

"I've worked hard on you this time, and I'll make up for you when I get back to the capital."

"What's delicious?"

"Deer antler, oysters, donkey meat, quail, and two big bastards..."

"Bah, who did you make up for?"

"Make it up together, I love you better."

When he was flirting, Cao Xuan suddenly saw his head slipping from the door, his face darkened: "What are you doing?"

"hey-hey."

Cousin Cao Ni took the lead, two cousins ​​Cao Bao and Cao Bei, cousins ​​and cousins, plus the cousin and nephew of the cousin's family, and Li Gen, a junior, a motley crowd squeezed in.

"Brother, is it sister-in-law? Who is it?"

Cao Ni had a gossip face, Cao Xuan ignored her, talked to Hu Jing, hung up the phone, and replied angrily.

"Leave your business alone, what are you doing here?"

"You need lucky money, you, a brother, don't give red envelopes during the Chinese New Year."

Cao Ni, the cousin, is about the same age as Cao Xuan, and they grew up together, unlike the younger ones who haven't seen each other for a long time, and are a little afraid of his cousin/cousin.

"That's the most positive thing."

Cao Xuan was not polite, but he still took out the red envelope that he had prepared a long time ago.

There is no favoritism, regardless of the cousin or the younger brother, the red envelope is 500, and the nephew is doubled to 1000.

There's no way, he kowtows to this uncle/uncle when he enters the door, he must give it thicker......

In this era when spicy soda costs less than 5 cents, 500 red envelopes is definitely a big deal for children.

Touching the pink bills that I have hardly seen before, all of them are smiling, and the voice of calling brother is several degrees sweeter.

However, judging from Cao Xuan's experience, except for Cao Ni, who is already in college, who may be able to keep it, other people's new year's money will probably be confiscated by their parents within two days for safekeeping.

After the New Year's money was handed out, it was time for breakfast. Because there were too many people, we could only eat in batches, and then began to pay New Year's greetings.

This year there was not much battle, the uncle took the lead, and Cao Xuan's uncle and uncle also followed, and they worshiped the old lady together.

A total of three generations, from front to back, hula la kneeling filled the entire yard.

This scene, perhaps many people think it is a "feudal remnant", and later generations have to tear it apart every New Year.

But in the eyes of most people in Shandong Province, this is not only a tradition of respecting the elderly, but also a symbol of family unity and prosperity. The more people pay New Year's greetings to the elderly, the wider the array, the more it means that the elderly are blessed and full of children and grandchildren.

How should I put it, this is considered "decent" for the older generation.

Of course, with the development of the times, more and more young people are unwilling to do so. This is also understandable. No matter how to pay New Year's greetings, it is all based on personal wishes, as long as they have the intention to respect the elderly.

After New Year's greetings, the old lady began to give out lucky money, and those who got married belonged to "adults" and there were no red envelopes.

Those who are not married, even if Cao Xuan is 25, still belong to "children", so they have the cheek to take one, 100 yuan per person.

This money is for Cao Xuan to honor the old lady in private. The four generations live in the same family, and a red envelope is given out during the Chinese New Year. The old man is happy and the children are happy.

Only the old lady and Cao Xuan were the ones who gave out red envelopes this year, and the elders like Sun Lan didn't give out red envelopes, otherwise it would be unsightly if there were too many or too few.

In this way, the old lady is exposed to the rain and dew, Cao Xuan gags the children, and the others are relaxed and worry-free.

After a busy morning at home, Cao Xuan watched the reruns of the Spring Festival Gala, watched himself sing "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" with his relatives, and received praises and praises like a flood.

That taste, embarrassment and a little pride, not to mention how sour...

.........

In the afternoon, Cao Xuan and his cousin, with gifts prepared in advance, went door-to-door to pay New Year greetings.

Compared with the previous ones, Cao Xuan's New Year's greetings this year are much higher. In addition to some old relationships, there are also many more official leaders from CCTV, Beijing TV, the Music Association, and the preparations for the Beijing concert.

Cao Xuan who has a personal relationship will visit in person, and Cao Xuan who has no personal relationship will bring people from Fanxing Company on a business visit.

But the one with the highest standard is still the one. This year Cao Xuan was lucky. He met the master who came back from leave for some reason. After a few chats, he was praised for his enthusiasm for charity, and he walked lightly when he came out.

After that, Cao Xuan immediately contacted Sunshine Ventures, planning to set up a special charitable fund organization to build Hope Primary School and support the elderly, weak and widowed.

After the Hope Primary School in Lu Province, the next batch of ten Hope Primary Schools will be located in Sichuan Province and Fujian Province.

(Necessary foreshadowing, don't say in this chapter, just understand it in your heart)

The ten Hope Primary Schools are expected to be put into construction within 1 to 2 years. Cao Xuan has already started to prepare the preliminary funds. Even if some projects of Fanxing are postponed, they will give priority to this side.

In fact, Cao Xuan has always had the idea of ​​setting up a personal charity organization. After all, it is okay now, and the follow-up charity investment will be large, and special organization management is needed to follow up.

Cao Xuan can't trust other charitable foundations, so why not set up one yourself.

This foundation, Cao Xuan, has no idea of ​​raising funds from outside, although it may be criticized as "fake charity" or "inviting" Barabara.

But the accounts are clean, there are no such messy things, and Cao Xuan doesn't need to come forward to shout at the platform, he just needs to pay silently.

After all, there are too many examples of celebrities taking the lead in raising funds and resulting in a pile of bad debts. Regardless of whether the celebrities are the instigators or are implicated in the blame, Cao Xuan doesn't want to get involved in these bad things.

Holding a 49% stake in Penguin, Cao Xuan has enough confidence to support a charity by himself.

Regardless of the vicissitudes of the situation outside, he can just silently be his own Principal Cao...

.........

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the taste of the new year has not completely dissipated, but Cao Xuan had to come out to work.

The relatives and friends at home are also about to go to work or school, and they are really embarrassed to disturb Cao Xuan's house all the time, so they all leave one after another.

Of course, some did not leave, so the old lady was left behind. Sun Lan was reluctant to leave her, and planned to keep her for a while. When the old lady lived enough, she would send her back home.

In addition, Cao Daguo and his brothers also stayed, they wanted to watch Cao Xuan's concert.

After the Spring Festival, Cao Xuan's most important task is to hold a concert with 2 people in Tiantan Park on February 10.

That's right, the location of Cao Xuan's concert has been approved, and it is in the Temple of Heaven where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties prayed to heaven.

If this were hundreds of years ago, the nine clans of Cao Xuan would have been killed...

Even now, they have been arguing about this matter for a long time. Before that, the Temple of Heaven actually held a gala, but it was a major cultural event, and it was the first time for a commercial concert.

Many people disagreed, and there was a wave of opposition, but Cao Xuan's concert was designated as a platform for publicity to help the Olympic bid.

To some extent, this is not Cao Xuan's private matter. Everything is for the Olympic bid, and many things can be compromised.

At the end of the quarrel, the plan was handed over to the top, and a big leader made the final decision in person.

manage!
Whether it is the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests or the Circular Mound Altar has yet to be finalized. Now Warner and some officials are measuring and arranging relevant equipment for the two places, and testing the final site selection.

But no matter which one, Cao Xuan's Beijing concert must be held at the Temple of Heaven. As soon as the news came out, the entire media and entertainment circles were blown up.

Everyone quarreled.

Those who objected felt that it was really inappropriate for an artist's commercial concert to be held on such a grand occasion.

Those who support it, say that Michael Jackson almost held a concert in the Grand Plaza. Foreign artists can do it, but why can’t Chinese artists.

However, the truth of Jackson's story is doubtful, but it might as well be rumored, and everyone will believe it.

But no matter how noisy, Cao Xuan, as the first singer to hold a concert at the Temple of Heaven and is expected to have more than [-] people in a single show, is destined to be included in the history of Chinese music.

The outside world was noisy, and Cao Xuan's own family members were also excited.

In Cao Daguo's words, Cao Xuan held a concert at the Temple of Heaven of the emperor's old son, honoring his ancestors. Grandpa Cao Xuan knew that there would be green smoke around his grave.

It is also because of this that the two brothers did not leave, just want to witness the glorious moment of the old Cao family together, and then go back to report to the ancestors by burning paper.

Apart from being busy with concerts, Cao Xuan is also busy with the creation of new albums. This year, he will release two albums in one go, and there may be an English single.

The related work load is not ordinary, and he still has to film, so he has to catch every stitch and rush to work when he has time.

Cao Xuan's plan is to release the fourth album "Chinese Style" first, and then release the fifth pop music album.

As Cao Xuan's inspirational album to establish the genre in one fell swoop, he released 5 popular classic Chinese style songs this time, and 5 songs are slightly worse.

There is no way, there are few Chinese style classics in the first place, so we have to use them sparingly.

For a classic masterpiece like "Bright Stars", once or twice is enough once in a while, even if Cao Xuan plays it every year, he can't stand it.

For an album every day, 5 hits are enough.

What's more, the other 5 songs are not bad. Although they are not classics, they are all above the standard, which is enough for ordinary singers to be the title songs.

When Cao Xuan was busy with albums and concerts, an email came from Taiwan Province, and a crew wanted to buy Cao Xuan's song for the opening theme song.

After inquiring, the name of the crew is "Meteor Garden"...

ps: The two squares in the Temple of Heaven, I checked the information for a long time, and I am not sure whether they can be filled with 10 people, so let’s understand them in parallel as usual ∩_∩

　There are two more tonight
