The opening of China Entertainment Group gave Jay Chou a head-on confrontation

Chapter 612: Strict Inspection of the Canteen and No Entry

As we all know, the Spring Festival Gala is one of the few galas in China that is widely discussed by the whole nation.

Not only are the China-Korea and China-Japan singing competitions not worthy of being compared with the Spring Festival Gala, even the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, Lantern Festival Gala and other holiday galas cannot be compared with the Spring Festival Gala.

This can be seen from the staffing of the live show -

Several CCTV sub-channels with the CCTV logo did not air any advertisements or programs during this precious time slot. Instead, they directly broadcast the live broadcast of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Sun Yanzi, who appeared as the first well-wishers, looked very real. After taking off her down jacket, this woman, who has become a Chinese pop diva in terms of reputation this year, was still as simple as when she first appeared on the Spring Festival Gala.

A pink turtleneck sweater, a pair of slim-fitting jeans that make your legs look longer, and a pair of white sneakers.

She looks like the girl next door and has an infectious smile.

In fact, after Chen Zeshan left, his new agent Ji Shengshan did not change the overall strategy for Sun Yanzi's image, and still focused on the basic image of a short-haired boy next door.

It is precisely because of this that even during the Spring Festival Gala interview, Sun Yanzi appeared extremely down-to-earth and did not give people too much sense of distance. It really was as if a family gathered together after the New Year's Eve dinner, and a carefree sister was chatting.

Zhou Yi, who covered himself tightly in a long windbreaker, looked like a social elite who only came back once a year during the Chinese New Year. The slight sense of distance was also dispelled by Sun Yanzi's hearty laughter.

It was Jay Chou's first time on the Spring Festival Gala and he was obviously nervous. He was wearing a blue and white baseball uniform. Facing the camera, he looked awkward as if he was a child who was called by his parents to perform a special skill for relatives during Chinese New Year.

When the three of them appeared in the same frame in front of the camera, the look they presented was unexpectedly harmonious, giving people a vague illusion of complementarity.

"I have to admit that Zhou Yi is really handsome. CCTV's camera was focused on his face, and the stutterer was crushed. The contrast is too tragic."

"Stutter your mother, you're looking for trouble on New Year's Day, right? If you can't speak, just shut up."

"Looking at the leaked program list for this year's Spring Festival Gala, there really isn't much to like. I feel like I can go to sleep after watching Zhou Yi, Yan Zi, and Jie Lun."

"The people upstairs have forgotten Zhao Benshan."

"..."

The Spring Festival Gala is criticized every year for being not as good as the previous one. Before it even started, Internet forums such as Tianya and Mop were filled with the argument that "the Spring Festival Gala should be fun".

No matter how great the impact of Daolang was, it was not as great as the Spring Festival Gala. It could be said that it had forcibly interrupted a brief buffer period.

Jay Chou, who is good at singing, dancing, rap and basketball, was instigated by Sun Yanzi to perform a short magic trick for the countless viewers in front of the TV, wishing everyone a new year and a new look. It really gave many people a refreshing feeling.

Oh, I didn’t realize you actually know a little bit about it.

"I don't know any magic tricks, and I don't have any talent to perform, so I might as well just bite a lighter into the fire in front of the TV."

Facing the blessing from Sun Yanzi, Zhou Yi, who felt ashamed of himself, took out a lighter that he had found from somewhere and said, "I wish all the audience friends here and in front of the TV a prosperous new year with great fortune and great wealth."

With a "click", he not only bit the lighter, but also it actually produced fire.

It's really useless to bite a lighter.

Sun Yanzi couldn't hold it together and the corners of his mouth turned up several times, while Jay Chou even turned sideways and laughed secretly.

Although they had rehearsed it five times in private, they couldn't help laughing when the effect was actually put in front of the camera.

This is really not something a normal person could come up with.

In front of the TV, Xie Qing, who already had a prejudice against Zhou Yi, almost swallowed the winter jujube pit in his mouth.

"Cough cough."

"Qingqing, eat slowly." After washing the pots and pans, her parents, who were also sitting in the living room, told her, muttering that Zhou Yi on the screen was indeed a star.

"What kind of song is this guy singing? He's quite handsome."

"Jiangnan, Fairy Tale, Blue and White Porcelain, and the like."

"What? He sang this song? That's amazing..."

Xie Qing's parents, who usually never paid any attention to celebrities, were immediately stunned by her beauty - although they didn't know this person, they had actually heard of this song.

Especially "Blue and White Porcelain".

There are shops near their construction site that play this song on loudspeakers every day.

I am very impressed.

Why are so many people willing to perform on the Spring Festival Gala, and even go to great lengths to do so?

This is the reason.

The fastest way to increase national popularity is to appear on the Spring Festival Gala and become famous, leaving a deep impression on people, there is no other way.

Zhou Yi thought that he had laid a good foundation by appearing on the Internet for several consecutive years, and he would be able to increase his national popularity to 70 to 80 percent this year.

After the "Blessing People" project ended and the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala began, all of them, the performing guests of this year's Spring Festival Gala, took to the stage.

This year's Spring Festival Gala guests made their appearance in a special way. They walked out from behind the stage after the opening song and dance, and then went off the stage and took their seats in an orderly manner. The dress code for the Spring Festival Gala this year is not so strict. Some wore down jackets, some wore Mao suits, some wore sweaters, and some wore baseball uniforms. If you don't know, you might think these guests are not stars, but shopping guides from some big supermarket.

The main focus is simplicity.

Because there are actually not many pop singers this year, those who sang pop songs basically sat together.

In addition to Jay Chou and Sun Yanzi, there are Yang Sanshierlang, who became famous for singing "No Matter What" and Xiaoyanzi, who gradually climbed out of the trough after being entangled in various negative news;
Sha Baoliang, who became well-known this year for the hit song "An Xiang" in the TV series "The Story of a Noble Family", and even two veteran predecessors Qi Qin and Mo Wenwei.

Without exception, after Zhou Yi stepped down, they all stood up and greeted him, even the two veterans Qi Qin and Mo Wenwei were no exception.

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year. I've heard Bingbin and the others mention you before. Finally, we have a chance to meet." After experiencing her first low point, Xiaoyanzi, who was no longer crazy, smiled and lowered her attitude to the lowest level in the audience. She even brought up Fan Xiaopang, who was filming during the New Year, to serve as a topic of conversation.

You know, she didn't want to mention this woman in public before.

"happy New Year."

Zhou Yi smiled and responded simply to the woman's kindness.

Honestly speaking, judging from her looks alone, it’s no wonder that Xiaoyanzi in college could have charmed Xiaoming so much that even his aesthetic standards for finding a girlfriend were based on her.

These big eyes are really a plus.

When Return of the Condor Heroes became popular, she was known as the most beautiful and popular of the three beauties in Return of the Condor Heroes. She really had the foundation.

Unfortunately, her personality is the worst among the three beauties in "Return of the Condor Heroes". Once she gains power, she cannot control her inflated ambition.

Ever since she caused such a huge mess, "My Fair Princess" no longer had the chance to dominate the summer TV screen. It was this woman who pulled "My Fair Princess" off the throne of the summer rebroadcast drama.

Xiaoyanzi instantly realized that Zhou Yi was not very interested in her and immediately sat back in her seat tactfully.

After the opening song and dance, the 2004 Spring Festival Gala officially kicked off with the appearance of the four Spring Festival Gala hosts Ni Ping, Zhou Tao, Zhu Jun and Li Yong.

Feng Gong is the first to perform skits (crosstalk) on stage every year, and this year is no exception. However, it is obvious that the quality of his creations has declined significantly compared to his peak period in the past.

This year's "Make Way, Life is Beautiful" can only be said to be mediocre, and the content is even better than his previous work Goubuli Baozi.

And right after this program, he sang a new song on the Spring Festival Gala -

"Good Luck Comes".

Yes, the future chart-topping hit "Good Luck Comes" was first released on this year's Spring Festival Gala, sung by singer Zu Hai, and it also gained popularity thanks to this year's Spring Festival Gala.

"Good luck comes, I wish you good luck", in his previous life, when Zhou Yi was playing cards and drawing cards with bad luck, he often took out his mobile phone to play this song to cheer himself up.

Obviously, everyone in the audience was infected by this festive song——

This is the song you should listen to during the Chinese New Year.

After just listening to the chorus once, Sun Yanzi and Jay Chou even started humming along with the rhythm.

It is a foregone conclusion that "Good Luck Comes" will be a hit.

This is the horror of the Spring Festival Gala.

As long as the quality of your song is high enough, no matter how unknown it was before, you can become an overnight sensation through this stage.

The attention is too high.

The song "Legend", which did not make any splash at all after Li Jian released his album this year, became popular all over the country after being sung by Wang Fei on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

"What about the next guest performer? I have interviewed him before and did a show with him."

After "Good Luck Comes", another series of performances went by. Zhu Jun and Zhou Tao, who were on stage again, began to introduce the next show. Zhu Jun's tone was even a little proud: "You may not know Zhou Tao. There are very few people who can do a show with him now."

“Oh? Really? Does he rarely appear on the show?”

Zhou Tao pretended to be surprised and asked knowingly: "Isn't he afraid of being accused of being a big shot?"

As soon as this was said, it was obvious that CCTV was standing up for its own son during this period of not-so-good public opinion storm.

The camera also shifted to Zhou Yi who was whispering with Sun Yanzi, and also swept in Sun Yanzi who was holding a chicken bone in his mouth and had not had time to spit it out.

The public execution was suddenly magnified on the big screen. Sun Yanzi was a little overwhelmed. He didn't know whether to move or not. He blinked and looked a little helpless.

The audience immediately burst into good-natured laughter.

"It looks like our Miss Sun Yanzi is hungry." Zhu Jun on the stage joked.

Sun Yanzi was very embarrassed as he raised his hand to cover his mouth.

"I suggest a strict check on the Warner cafeteria." Zhou Yi, who picked up the microphone, also laughed and said, "Let's see if Yan Zi is not allowed to eat in the cafeteria."

Sun Yanzi, who was about to fall down laughing, turned his head and subconsciously punched the man's chest twice with his right hand, silently expressing his "protest".
