Chapter 123 Fame is very important
After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, the father and father brought the food upstairs, and Lao Li cooked two more hot dishes.It's the New Year's Eve that my father and I seem very deserted, but after so many years, my father and I have long been used to it.
Li Tang opened a bottle of Moutai, poured it, and respected his father with the first glass of wine: "Abba, Happy Chinese New Year!"
"Well, happy new year!"
The father and son had a drink.
After performing the ceremony, the atmosphere relaxed.While pouring wine for his father, Li Tang said, "Father, how can you talk to Aunt Xiao, why are you getting married?"
"Don't be anxious, it will take two years after all, and we will talk about it after Xiao Xiao is admitted to university." Lao Li said.
Li Tang could tell that this was what Aunt Xiao meant. After all, three years of high school was a critical moment. She didn't want her daughter to be distracted, and she would wait until her daughter was admitted to college before thinking about her own affairs.This kind of thing is also reasonable, anyway, as long as his father is willing, Li Tang has no objection.
Old Li took a sip of his wine, looked at his son and said, "Don't just talk about me, tell about yourself, you'll be locked up for a while, what's the matter?"
"Nothing, we are all friends." Li Tang smiled, and naturally popped out a quote from a scumbag.
Lao Li was not happy when he heard it, he put it on the cup and said seriously: "You are talking about friends in a serious manner, Dad will not care about you, but if you mess around, be careful and eat your life!"
Li Tang looked at his father in amazement, and really didn't understand how he had the courage to say the word "dirty mess". Could it be that what you did before is not called dirty mess?
Lao Li was a little embarrassed by his son, and forced himself to calm down: "What do you expect me to do? You are not in the same situation as I am. Your father is an ordinary person. As long as you don't break the law, you can do whatever you want. You are different. You are now a national people, and you are in this business to talk about your reputation, and your reputation is so bad, why would anyone want to look at you!"
"..."
Li Tang had to admit that what his father said made sense.
To put it bluntly, the performing arts industry is a Vanity Fair. Since it is a Vanity Fair, there is no one that is not dirty, both at home and abroad.He has also witnessed a lot of "smudges" in China now, not to mention that Xiao Teng leads them to be drunk all day long, even some who are praised as artists by the outside world, it is very common to break their shoes and rape their girlfriends.
In the original memory, the folk customs were relatively conservative before, but it seems to have intensified in the past two years. Among other things, there are more and more hair salons opening up in the streets and alleys.
And this kind of change in folk customs is especially obvious in the showbiz.Lao Li didn't know much about the situation. He just used his life experience to tell his son that reputation is very important.Lao Li may not be able to use the new vocabulary of "public figure", but he thinks that people in the country and celebrities who show their faces should talk about fame more.
And Lao Li does have the foresight. There is a good saying: Don't look at the fun now, be careful about making lists in the future.Li Tang knew that more than ten years later, the country would introduce a so-called ban on tainted artists, with the purpose of rectifying the atmosphere in the entertainment industry.
Of course, this kind of action has become one of the so-called "undemocratic and unfree" accusations in the mouth of the Western media.Some banned artists with bad deeds went abroad and uttered nonsense.
To be honest, Li Tangte in his previous life looked down on this kind of person.In fact, these overseas Chinese still have a lot of affection for the motherland. Whenever major events happen in the country, such as earthquakes and infectious diseases, donating money and masks is unambiguous.He still clearly remembers the tears streaming down his face when his parents in the previous life watched the domestic films "Youth" and "Return".
As for why he didn't pay attention to domestic film and television dramas in his previous life, this is a long story.As a professional, he has also watched some excellent domestic film and television dramas, such as "Heroes", "The Wandering Earth" and so on.There is no doubt that these films have reached the standard of Hollywood A blockbusters.
Especially for movies like "Farewell My Concubine", "Raise the Red Lantern", and even "Youth", if the cultural background and racial differences are removed, it is absolutely impossible to win several Oscars based on the artistic level of the Oscar selection. Next.
But good movies are rare after all. Most of them see plots full of loopholes and poor acting skills. If you eat too much of this kind of shit, you will naturally lose interest.However, he still envies those domestic stars, who can still earn a lot of money at this level.
Uh, that's getting a little too far.
Closer to home, Li Tang nodded politely in front of his father's "teaching" and said, "I understand."
Some things really need to be cautious, not to be too blatant, otherwise people will find out in the future, maybe it will be bad luck.
Although Li Tang's attitude was good, Old Li still sighed worriedly.In his simple thinking, his son's ex-girlfriend Binbin, Qinqin who was here last time, and Jinsuo who has never met are all good girls, and any of them can be his daughter-in-law.
One thing about Lao Li is good, that is, he won't be long-winded after talking.Once the vaccination is done, it's over.
After a few glasses of wine, Lao Li began to look forward to the future.
"The area in the north of the city near Daying Port is going to develop villas, about [-] yuan per square meter. I want to book a set."
"Didn't you say that the new city is being developed in the east?" Li Tang said.
After the county was transformed into a district, the development of a new town is said to have been put on the agenda, and the district government building that is currently being built is on the edge of the eastern city.
Lao Li shook his head and said, "The development of the new city won't be too fast. The environment in the north of the city is good, and it's close to the hotel..."
As he spoke, he looked at the house he was currently living in and said, "The business is getting better and better now. I plan to redecorate this place next year and turn it into private rooms. There will be at least six private rooms, big or small."
"Then do you have enough cash on hand?"
Xu Guangtou repaid 40 yuan, and got [-] yuan from the film salary of "Xin Yi Jian Mei" after deduction, plus the film salary of "Broad Days", and his mother who was far away in the United States learned that he had bought a house in the capital, so she specially remitted two yuan to him. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.Now Li Tang has more than [-] cash in total.
Hearing his son's words, Lao Li was very relieved. In the past two years, he really didn't have much money left to buy a house for his son and decorate it, but he still waved his hand and said, "The advance payment for the villa is not much. I plan to get it again in the second half of the year, and the banknotes are fine."
Knowing that his ex-wife sent money to his son again, he thought for a while and said: "Your mother gave you the money, you just take it. I heard from Yila that Americans don't care about people. When Chenguang your mother is old, if Yila The little girl in the United States doesn't care about Yi, you have to take care of it. No matter how hard it is, Yi is your mother!"
"got it."
Li Tang knew that with his mother's current job in the United States, her future pension would definitely be indispensable, and there was a high probability that she would not have to worry about pension issues, but since his father ordered him to do so, he readily agreed.
When it was almost eight o'clock, Li Tang turned on the TV.
This year is the first Spring Festival in the millennium, and it is also the Year of the Dragon. The dragon has a special meaning to the Chinese, so the 2000 Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala is said to be unprecedentedly large in terms of scale and cast.
At eight o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala starts on time.
The opening was really extraordinary, and there were as many as twenty hosts alone.In addition to gathering almost all the famous hosts of CCTV, there are also Xiao Yanzi, Mr. Wen in "I Love My Family", Wen Zhaolun, the representative of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Wang Siyi, the actor of Pan Jinlian in "Water Margin", as well as Feng Gong, Niu Qun, Jiang Kun and other cross talk actors.
The first program at the opening was "Welcome Spring In" sung by Zhang Ziyi.After the release of "My Father and Mother" directed by Zhang Yimou, Xiao Zhang became popular all over the country.Moreover, "My Father and Mother" has been shortlisted for the upcoming 50th Berlin International Film Festival. What's even more coincidental is that the chairman of the jury of this Berlin Film Festival is actually Gong Li.
It can be seen that Xiao Zhang, who is on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, is really nervous, so that her singing is not up to standard, and it is obvious that she is out of tune in many places.
Many celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan were invited this year, such as Zhang Huimei, Li Min, Xie Tingfeng, etc. all appeared on stage. "Han Zhu Ge Ge" became popular last year. Not only did Little Swallow become the host of the Spring Festival Gala, Lin Xinru also sang "Liu Liu" with Xiao Cui.
Of course, what can bring joy to the people of the whole country is the skit "Part-time Worker" co-written by Uncle Benshan and Song Dandan, a line borrowed from a very fashionable Internet slang nowadays, "Xiaomian, I don't know you anymore when you take off your vest?" Instantly Explode.
Before the clock struck midnight, the most golden time of the Spring Festival Gala, Mainland actor Dong Jie and the now popular Hong Kong singer and actor Xie Tingfeng jointly sang the song "Together Together in This Life".
Dong Jie is a newcomer, but she is the heroine of Zhang Yimou's new film "Happy Time".
From Zhang Ziyi to Dong Jie, it shows the influence of director Zhang Yimou.And from the two of them, Li Tang found that Director Zhang's aesthetics were surprisingly consistent, and he chose the kind of thin, small and innocent girls of eighteen or nineteen years old.
However, as far as personal aesthetics are concerned, Li Tang still prefers a type similar to Gong Li with a big skeleton, big breasts, and a more majestic temperament.
Old Li was the same as in previous years, insisting on drinking too much before the end of the Spring Festival Gala. Li Tang helped his father into the room, cleaned up the mess, and stood on the balcony to smoke.
Outside the window, firecrackers were already blasting and fireworks were in full bloom. When the zero o'clock bell sounded from the TV, fire trees and silver flowers outside the window resounded through the night sky.
To paraphrase a movie line: "The twentieth century has passed, and I miss it very much!"
The first!
