China Entertainment 1997.

Beijing, Caojia Hutong

Nine-month-old Cao Yang is fat and fat, his whole body is chubby, and his small arms and legs look like lotus root joints.

Although he can't even stand firmly, this kid is not idle at all. He seized his time and crawled around on the specially vacated cushions in the children's room. He was afraid of getting tired, so he sat and danced, and walked on the cushions after a while, like a silkworm chrysalis. It seems to be wriggling...

"I don't follow his sister at all, she's too active."

Cao Xuan gave his evaluation, and the old mother Sun Lan who was next to him gave him a white look.

It's not how easy it is to be born by a mother. Besides, Cao Li was not a good child when he was a child. Although he is not as active as Cao Yang, he is not less troublesome in other aspects.

"Okay, just stay here and watch, I'll pick up the child."

When Cao Xuan returned home, he expressed himself wholeheartedly, asked about the situation of the kindergarten, and drove Xiali, the private shuttle bus at home, to pick up the children happily with the nanny.

When they arrived at the school gate, they found a parking space and stopped. Cao Xuan, wearing a hat and mask, stood beside the car, and the nanny went to negotiate with the teacher.

Kindergartens are very strict, and the teachers will not let people who are not parents or pick-up staff come here often.

After a while, the nanny came over with Cao Li, who was carrying a small schoolbag. Just as Cao Xuan wanted to hug his daughter, he saw a little boy next to Cao Li.

Boss Cao frowned directly, but before he could move, Cao Li saw him, recognized him carefully, and then rushed over with surprise on his face.

"dad."

Cao Xuan immediately smiled, and picked up his daughter: "Miss me?"

Cao Lijian nodded sharply: "I think about it, my mother said that you will go to work abroad and earn money to buy KFC for me. Dad, you have worked so hard. I will be filial to you when I grow up."

"..."

Boss Cao was moved, but also a little speechless. In order to make his daughter obedient, Zeng Li sometimes fooled his daughter's family into being poor.

The key point is that Xiao Cao Li really believed it.

Because she asked her classmates, other people's families often go out to eat out, and they still live in tall buildings. There are only three or four people in their family.

My family can only live in a bungalow, and my family can't even afford KFC. I cook for myself, and the whole family lives together, and my parents and mother have to work to support them, so life is difficult.

In fact, there are many mistakes and omissions in this statement, such as the nannies and cars at home, and the size of the house. After all, the Cao’s alley is bigger than the kindergarten, and they can go to Qin City to escape the summer heat from time to time.

But the key point is that the child is too young, lacks cognition, and the Second Palace of Things and Things is very flickering.

It is no exaggeration to say that being able to attend this kind of kindergarten in Beijing is neither rich nor expensive, but many of them are middle class, and almost every family has a car.

Therefore, in Xiao Cao Li's world view, cars are a very common means of transportation, which can be found all over the street, so it is not worth mentioning.

As for nannies, although the students' homes are not fully equipped, there are a certain proportion. Zeng Li said that there are too many old people and children, so they are sent away.

The house in the family is big because it is for others to watch the house, Qin City is for work, and the villa is rented.

With such an argument, it is definitely useless to fool the older children outside, but facing the little Cao Li who is only in his early 4 years old and grew up in this environment, he can be sure.

To be honest, sometimes Cao Xuan was worried that his daughter would be too silly and sweet to be cheated.

But after thinking about it for two years, when the child grows up, he will automatically know the truth. Pay attention, just don't develop an inferiority complex.

The main thing is that Zeng Li was very careful, afraid that Xiao Cao Li would eat and play, so he found a legitimate reason to restrain her, and if she knew the truth, she would not be tormented every day.

Even if the three of them can manage it, Sun Lan and Cao Shuangguo, who love their granddaughters, can't help being spoiled.

Cao Xuan was noncommittal about this education method, and Zeng Li did it.

Nishigong Niangniang did this not entirely for peace of mind, but more because she hoped that her child would understand something and not rely on her family background to act recklessly and become a devil in the world.

Li Moumou, the second-generation celebrity who fought last year, and the "Son of Li Gang" who caused a lot of waves on the Internet have very bad social influence. [Official/rich/second-generation celebrity] once became synonymous with people hating dogs.

This put a lot of educational pressure on Empress Nishinomiya, and she didn't want her daughter to become like this one day.

That's why she came up with the trick of "pretending to be poor". Hu Jing was more ruthless than her, wondering if she should change to a small old house and fool her son from the beginning.

However, considering the popularity of the few of them, this is not very reliable, so I thought about turning him into an "adopted son" so that he would not have the confidence to be afraid from the root.

Later, Cao Xuan was held back by whatever he said, and it was enough to pretend to be poor and cooperate with educating the children, and the rest was too much.

Still adopt a child?
Why not send it directly to a foster family and come to a world of Truman...

In any case, in Xiao Cao Li's heart, Cao Xuan's father is very pitiful. He goes to film and sing everywhere, but his money is exploited by the company. He can only earn a meager salary, and he is injured from time to time.

The last time Cao Xuan was filmed with a small injury, his hands were bandaged, I don’t know what Hu Jing told her, the little girl was so frightened that she cried, she didn’t eat, she didn’t want new clothes, she wanted to save money for her father’s treatment sick.

So much so that Cao Xuan was worried that his daughter would become stupid and sweet, and also looked forward to what his daughter would think of her mother and second mother when she knew the truth in the future.

After getting bored with his daughter for a while, Cao Xuan looked at the little boy: "Li Li, your classmate?"

"He is Wang Shuai, and I am at the same table."

"Hello, uncle."

The little boy was very polite, but Cao Xuan just didn't like him, but he didn't get angry with the child: "Hi, your parents didn't come to pick you up?"

"My mother is there."

The little boy pointed, and there was a young woman on the phone not far away. He glanced here from time to time, and when he saw Cao Xuan looking over, he nodded slightly, then pointed to the phone, and smiled apologetically.

Cao Xuan nodded, and then planned to leave with his daughter, Cao Li obediently waved goodbye to his classmates, and the two watched Wang Shuai run to his mother's side, got in the car and left.

And Wang Shuai's mother here also finished the phone call and asked her son: "That is your classmate's father, it seems that you have never met him?"

"Cao Li said that her father works outside the home, and her mother works, so she doesn't spend much time at home. Even the parent-teacher meeting is held by her grandparents."

"The left-behind children, it seems that they came back specially for the holidays. This child is so pitiful."

Wang Shuai's mother thought of Xiali who had left just now, and instantly imagined the miserable scenes, and couldn't help sighing.

But when she drove her son out of the kindergarten, she suddenly felt that the girl's father looked familiar, but she just couldn't remember who it was.

It wasn't until dinner at night that I got the impression: "I remembered, that Cao Li's father looks like Cao Xuan."

Then, she patted her husband as if she had eaten a big melon, and said excitedly: "Both of them are surnamed Cao, do you think it is Cao Xuan, my God, my son is at the same table as Cao Xuan's daughter?!"

"What are you thinking about?"

The husband scolded her angrily: "Cao Xuan can drive Xiali? And pick up the children himself? Do you really think this kind of big star and rich man is an ordinary person?"

"Then why is he wearing a mask and sunglasses?"

"You wear sunglasses while driving. Besides, you don't look at how smoggy the capital is. Several of our colleagues also carry them. When we turn back, we also prepare a few bags at home, and pay attention to protection."

After making jokes for her husband, Wang Shuai's mother also let go of her speculation. In fact, she didn't take it seriously subconsciously, and it was more of a joke topic.

After all, no normal person would think that he would have such an intersection with a superstar.

At the same time, the Caojia Hutong
In a yard next to the main courtyard, some corridors and side rooms have been demolished, and the vacated yard has been planted with anti-mosquito plants, and then a grape trellis and an open-air courtyard have been set up, where you can enjoy the moon and have dinner in your spare time.

Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family will make moon cakes together, the chef will take the lead, Zeng Li will direct, Cao Xuan and others will help, and Hu Jing will play with two children as kneaders.

The fillings include five kernels, red bean paste, lotus seed paste, egg yolk, rose, cantaloupe, etc., if there is crusty skin, meringue skin and ice skin.

I made hundreds of them here and there, and I can't eat them all at home, but I can take them out and give them away.

Friends and relatives, company executives, colleagues from the university who once left, just give some, these mooncakes may not be enough.

Of course, moon cakes are not important, the main thing is to bring joy. In addition, the family has not gathered like this for a long time, and they always have to find something to do to make it lively.

"By the way, I have something to tell you."

Hu Jing, who was enjoying making dough, suddenly remembered something, and looked at Cao Xuan, who was making mooncakes.

"Zhang Jie will get married in a few days and ask if you will go?"

"marry?"

Cao Xuan was stunned: "He has my phone number, why don't he just call me and let you pass it on."

"It's probably because I'm afraid you will refuse."

Hu Jing analyzed it: "You usually don't mix these things very much, he is afraid that you will directly reject it, so through me, there is room for you to agree or disagree."

"This kid will go around in circles."

Cao Xuan teased a bit, except for Wu Gao, those behind the group of star singers didn't have much contact with him. On the contrary, Gu Miaomiao, Zhang Jie, Phoenix Legend, and Yao Beina joined in the early days, and their personal relationship with Cao Xuan was still relatively small. good.

Even Gu Hezhang can be regarded as half of Cao Xuan's students, and he taught them a lot of music skills.

"Are you going or not?"

"Let me take a look at the arrangement. "Taken 3" is about to start. I have a lot of work to do. I have a script meeting with Director Zhang. I also need to watch some demos of the new album. I may not be able to spare time."

On the one hand, Cao Xuan didn't give an accurate statement. On the one hand, he was really busy; on the other hand, he was really not ready to attend Zhang Jie's wedding.

Some history may be full of inertia, even if there is a certain deviation, it will still go on track.

Although Zhang Jie never participated in "Happy Boys" in 2007, but made his debut in "Star of Tomorrow", the signing company is Fanxing and not Tianyu.

But he still has an indissoluble bond with this show, but he has changed from a contestant to a judge, and because of this, he gradually became familiar with Xie Na.

According to what Cao Xuan saw on the Internet and gossip news, the two should have known each other for a long time. In 2005, Zhang Jie went to "Happy Camp" for the first time, and the two met.

Xie Na is a fan of Zhang Jie, and he likes him very much, but because he is not in the same unit and has few meetings, there is no other progress.

Until 2007, "Happy Boys" Zhang Jie was a resident judge. He often had activities in Star City and met Xie Na who was also working there.

According to the interview, it should be Xie Xianchai's chapter. The two started talking in 2007, and it was not long before their relationship was exposed. It was semi-public in 2008. After dating for several years, they chose to get married.

One thing to say, although Cao Xuan doesn't like Xie Na, the relationship between the two is pretty good.

Although Yuan Shikong frequently reported marriage changes, they were often confirmed as rumors. I dare not say how strong the relationship between the two is, but it is relatively stable among celebrity couples.

That being the case, Cao Xuan will not stop him, and he has no reason or motivation to stop him.

Even if they don't like the bride, they will still bless the bride for the sake of the groom.

If he has free time later, he doesn't mind going there in person to give Zhang Jie a place, after all, he is also his diehard fan.

"Then how do I get back with him?"

"You don't need to say it. I'll call him and explain later."

Hu Jing nodded, and snatched the dough out of her son's mouth: "You have to write me a letter, we will fly together, so as to save trouble."

The relationship between her and Zhang Jie is not very close, but they can be regarded as acquaintances, especially now that she is still a senior executive of the company, she can stand in place of the company, which not only shows the importance she attaches to Zhang Jie, but also can block the mouth of the outside world.

Otherwise, if Zhang Jie gets married, there will be no important people in Fanxing's top management, and many media will have to start spreading rumors and making troubles.

In the evening, after making the mooncakes and eating dinner, Cao Xuan went for a night run around the track, and then took a shower.

When he was filming in the United States last year, there was a swimming pool in the hotel, which allowed him to develop the habit of swimming at night to relax his body and mind.

After returning to China, he also wanted to dig a swimming pool at home, but the application procedure was not approved. Although he could dig quietly, Cao Xuan still didn't want to be troublesome.

After all, it’s not like my family doesn’t have a house with a swimming pool in the capital. It takes only 10 minutes to drive there. It’s 12 meters x 25 meters, which is half the size of a standard swimming pool.

Just as she came out of the bathroom wiping her hair, she saw Hu Jing leaning against the door, waiting for her in a cool pajamas.

"Uh, I stayed at your place last time I left."

Cao Xuan was stunned for a moment, the implication was very clear, today he should go to Nishigong Niangniang to pay the public rations.

"She's coaxing the child, don't talk nonsense, come into the house with me."

The Empress of the East Palace was not polite at all, she dragged Cao Xuan to her room, Boss Cao half pushed and followed in, and after an hour of busy work, she finally escaped.

As a result, as soon as he went out, he saw Nishigong Niangniang looking at him with a cold face, and smiled awkwardly: "I was forced."

"Don't come to my house if you don't wash it clean."

Cao Xuan: "..."

He could only go to take a bath again, coax her with words, and put in a lot of effort to calm Empress Nishinomiya.

The price was that Cao Xuan bought some oysters, mutton and other dishes at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet the next day to supplement his supplies.

As the saying goes, thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, and the East and West Palaces are now the year of the wolf and the tiger, and there is still a lot of pressure on Cao Daguan...

.........

A few days later, Cao Xuan and Hu Jing, who had spent their holidays, appeared at Zhang Jie's Shangri-La wedding.

Zhang Jie was very excited to see Cao Xuan coming over in person, and kept thanking him.

"It should be, I wish you a happy new marriage and grow old forever."

Cao Xuan smiled and sent his blessings, then found a seat and sat down, but before he could sit still, Hu Jing stuffed a back pillow behind his back.

Teacher He, who is both the bride's "maternal family" and the best man, is almost half of the host of the wedding. He has been helping the groom to greet the guests, especially the important guests like Cao Xuan. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but ask.

"What's the matter, it seems that you are a little uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, I was a little strained during filming, and it's not a big problem during the recovery period."

Cao Xuan's answer caused Hu Jing to snigger, and the official Cao couldn't help but glared at her.

These two girls are fighting, one is more ruthless than the other, they treat people like animals.

Don’t you just hang up the free card for a day, dare to mock yourself like this, you have to show your strength when you go home, he is not Wu Song, he is still subduing the wolf and the tiger...

Zhang Jie has developed very well in the past few years, with good album results, stable exposure, and full of concerts. Among the new generation of mainland singers, he is one of the representatives.

Not to mention Xie Na, no matter what, "Happy Camp" is still one of the top programs in China, and Happy Family is also one of the most influential host teams.

Leaving aside those people from CCTV, in terms of popularity and influence alone, if Liu Yan wasn't in the way, Xie Na might even become the first hostess.

The celebrity cafe is here, and Zhang Jie and Xie Na have a wide network of contacts, so their wedding guest lineup is also very luxurious.

Artists from the Fanxing system have all arrived when they have time, most of the singers are here, Gu Miaomiao, Phoenix Legend, Wu Gao and others are all there, and the actors are also joined by Liu Tianxian, Hu Ge, Chen Yao and others.

Many hosts and artists from Happy Family and Hunan Province and Taiwan also came, including many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists. "Happy Camp" prefers to deal with these people, and Xie Na has also accumulated a lot of contacts.

It is no exaggeration to say that the lineup of this group of artists is even more luxurious than many awards ceremonies.

And many of them are stars that the younger generation prefers, with overwhelming popularity and high traffic. Many awards ceremonies may not be able to gather so many people.

At the beginning of the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom expressed their heartfelt feelings, tears streaming down their faces, and some close guests also wiped their tears.

Cao Xuan didn't have much emotion, after all, he really didn't pay much attention to the relationship between the two, but he also gave polite and sincere applause.

After the wedding ceremony is over, everyone is talking and chatting. On occasions like this, it is often about socializing, and at the same time accepting interviews. At any rate, everyone has paid for it, so it is not too much to take a camera.

Cao Xuan didn't chat much, but instead looked at the scenery.

It is said that the Shangri-La government spent 3000 million yuan to make Zhang Jie and Xie Na ambassadors, and actively sponsored the wedding, aiming to promote tourism.

To be honest, Cao Xuan has heard of all kinds of extravagant scenes of celebrity weddings, but it is really rare to make such money from weddings.

And this wedding is not only a promotional tour, but also half of Zhang Jie's new album release.

Many songs throughout the wedding were songs from his new album, and during an interview at the wedding, Zhang Jie did not forget to mention this repeatedly, using the wedding to promote the new album.

From a personal emotional point of view, he doesn't quite understand this kind of behavior, but as Zhang Jie's boss, Cao Xuan is still very pleased with Zhang Jie's dedication.

After all, when he makes money, he makes money for himself!
And Zhang Jie is not the only one who is ambitious, other guests also followed suit.

Cai Kangyong promoted his brand of women's shoes, the wedding dress designer promoted his wedding dress and customized services, Wu Qilong helped "Scary Step by Step" to promote the rebroadcast schedule, and Hunan TV broadcasted the entire wedding live.

It made Cao Xuan want to go up and yell "Now You See Me", but it's a pity that he couldn't save face.

Hu Jing couldn't hold back anymore, and couldn't help complaining on the plane when she returned: "This wedding is so weird, it's a commercial show."

"It's okay, artists can't avoid these."

When Cao Xuan calmed down, he could understand Zhang Jie's actions. After all, they had no other scandals. There may only be such a few major events in their lifetime. From a practical point of view, it is not impossible to be able to achieve a certain degree of commercial benefit.

Besides, Zhang Jie is not too outrageous, what the guests did has nothing to do with him, he was just promoting his new album, and by the way, he became a tourism ambassador.

The tone of the matter is still very positive, but the operation is a bit low-end, and it looks a bit ugly...

Originally Cao Xuan was worried about Xie Na, but on the contrary, he performed very well in this wedding. There was nothing surprising, and he was completely a bride married to love.

"It's a pity that Huo Hua is gone, the two of them got along very well back then."

As an old classmate who witnessed the two falling in love with her own eyes, Hu Jing rarely sighed.

She still remembered that at their class reunion, this little girl was complacently proud of her boyfriend who won the Golden Horse Best Actor, but now times have changed, and the object of her pride has changed to someone else.

"Don't worry about it. Both of them are married, so they have already let go."

Cao Xuan clicked on the computer on the plane, watched the football game one after another, and then read novels on the mobile phone from time to time.

Hu Jing rolled her eyes at him, took out her mobile phone, and shouted in surprise after a few fiddles.

"Hey, the list of wedding gifts has been exploded."

Cao Xuan frowned. This kind of private matter could be exposed. He didn't know if it was intentional by the two of them, or the wedding team's lax management.

But no matter what the reason, it was a disappointment.

If a guest is talked about or ridiculed by fans because of the gift money, what was originally a good thing will become a bad thing.

"The list is true and false."

Hu Jing glanced at it and handed it to Cao Xuan, who took a look——

何老师170万、吴奇龙300万、吴心20万、杜海淘20万、汪寒150万、赵苯山600万、于恩泰80万、蔡康永80万、李维嘉56万、苏有朋80万、天娱龙丹妮90万………

Cao Xuan 100 million, Hu Jing 100 million, Gu Miaomiao 50, Phoenix Legend 50, Liu Tianxian 20...

Fanxing's side is okay, there may be some discrepancies, but the difference is not bad, but other stars are a bit outrageous.

It’s okay for Mr. He to give 170 million. Wu and Du’s net worth is 20.
But why did Lao Zhao give 600 million?Why did Wu Qilong give 300 million?
I really don't take money as money!
Do you know what the concept of 600 million is? Adding some money is enough for Lao Zhao to make a movie. The two Xie Na and him don’t have that deep friendship. .

The same goes for Wu Qilong. The salary of "Scary Step by Step" is only about 300 million yuan. Is the friendship between the two worth so much money?

Cao Xuan originally thought he had been blown up, but after looking at it this way, he probably looked at the gift list a few times, and then based on it, he made up his mind randomly.

The stars in 2011 were really not that rich and not that generous.

Even if the salary is skyrocketing now, it is only the top and first-line, the second- and third-line increase is not so high, many people only have a few million a year, or even only a few hundred thousand.

Therefore, the vast majority of red envelopes are tens of thousands or 10,000+, and 10,000+ is the most normal price, and those who are more friendly or rich will give more.

Like the headline said that Zhang Jie and his wife received 3600 million gift money, which is really ignorant. If it is really so easy to make money, I am afraid that there will be stars all over the place who want to get married.

The GDP of the entertainment industry is all for the wedding industry...
