China Entertainment: I really don’t want to live with the queen.

Chapter 103 Liu Huan calls me my junior uncle. Warner’s sky-high signing fee

"Variety Show Grand View" is a TV entertainment program launched by China Central Television, known among the people as "Little Spring Festival Gala".

This program is particularly powerful. The CCTV hosts include Ni Pin, Zhou Tao, and Wang Gang.

Zhao Bensan, Guo Da, Pan Changjiang, and Zhao Lianjia, who are familiar to the audience, also came to the Spring Festival Gala from the "Variety Show" and have become famous ever since.

Xu Chen recorded the "Pearl Returns" gala in June, and this time he appeared on the "Variety Show". As long as he doesn't do bad things that make people and gods angry, his tickets to the "Spring Festival Gala" will be fine~
"Variety Show" records an episode every two weeks, each episode is five 10 minutes long and consists of several small sections.

Xu Chen's recording section is called "Music Starry Sky" and "Tiannan Dibei", "Music Starry Sky" sings, and "Tiannan Dibei" is the scenery of China.

At the door of CCTV, Xu Chen met "CCTV's leading actress" Zhou Tao.

The lanterns in front of the square are starting to turn on, the street lights are orange, and the evening breeze in Peiping in September is bleak.

Zhou Tao was standing in front of the square, just like Xu Chen's impression, wearing a plain white professional OL white skirt, her round feet wrapped in silk stockings, and her red sole and white high heels exuding a "mature and elegant" charm.

Her makeup is exquisite, her black and shiny hair is tied into a dignified bun, and the evening breeze is like the slender lotus vines in a lotus pond, enchanting her soul~
"Ms. Zhou! Good evening." Xu Chen carried an electric guitar and wore a peaked cap. He was a bit unruly as a "rock" youth. He was not so sentimental that he thought Zhou Tao was waiting for him at the door. He said angrily: "Who is so big-hearted?" The face can actually make Ms. Zhou suffer from the cold wind."

"Mr. Xu!" Zhou Tao's eyes lit up. Xu Chen in front of him was different from the last time he was on the "Middle Song List". This time he was a cool and handsome boy.

She always pays attention to her appearance, her slim back is pretty and straight, and her white high-heeled shoes touch her feet like lotus petals.

Xu Chen recently had a scandal with the princess in the newspapers and joked: "Of course I am waiting for the Chinese pop king. Mr. Xu, you have been very popular in the newspapers recently."

Xu Chen keenly sensed the signal released by Zhou Tao, and said shamelessly: "Sister Zhou, when I really become the Chinese pop king, I will be the first to sign your autograph. I will never let Sister Zhou wait in vain~"

Zhou Tao loves pipa very much, but unfortunately his skills are poor. Xu Chen has superb pipa skills. She admires the top student very much. She glanced at her with beautiful eyes and smiled: "Sister is my sister. What's your name? Sister Zhou. I didn't know but I thought she was sister Lin. Xu Is this your first time coming to the CCTV studio, sir?”

"Sister, just call me Achen." Xu Chen made a gesture of invitation: "I am here to invite someone to the Grand View Garden. Fortunately, I have Sister Zhou."

"What a mouthful." Zhou Tao didn't expect that Xu Chen was completely different in private than on stage. He was unruly on stage but humorous in private.

There are different ways to deal with different women. Zhou Tao is a woman who is more obsessed with traditional culture, and those who speak politely can win more recognition.

Unknowingly, I recognized a good sister again, hey~
Zhou Tao must have a husband at this time, Xu Chen is really annoyed by the Holy Body of "Emperor Wei Wu", this thing is gifted with the magical power of "seduce wives", otherwise there is no way to explain that the wife's friendship level is full.

CCTV is not a big-pants company now. The old building has the flavor of an old state-owned enterprise from the 80s.

Zhou Tao led Xu Chen all the way, and the colleagues he met on the way looked at him frequently.

Who in the Mainland doesn't know Xu Chen? He is indeed handsome at first glance. No wonder he is having an affair with the princess. He even asked enthusiastically: "Xu Chen, when will you become the king of Chinese pop~"

Xu Chen didn't expect that people all over the country would know about his bragging. He would be embarrassed if he failed. He touched the bridge of his nose and said, "It's coming soon, it's going to be this year, it's going to be this year."

"Haha..." There was laughter. Xu Chen made a good first impression, handsome and polite.

"Come on, let me introduce to you, this is my little brother Xu Chen, the apprentice of pipa master Zhang Qiang!" Zhou Tao really likes pipa and specially introduced Xu Chen to apprentice with pipa master Zhang Qiang.

CCTV is all a master, and celebrity status is useless, but "traditional culture inheritors" are different.

Now they were more enthusiastic and regarded Xu Chen as one of their own.

After all, my little brother is so handsome~
…………

The recording time of "Variety Show Grand View" is 5:30 pm.
Zhou Tao was worried that Xu Chen would be nervous about recording a program for the first time, so he specially arranged a "trainee director" from the program team to help Xu Chen prepare the script.

There is someone at CCTV, the salary is generous, and the makeup artist is gearing up to create "the most handsome man in variety shows."

It is not difficult for Xu Chen to record both segments. He is going to sing the rock hit "Blue Lotus" for "Music Starry Sky". With the ratings of "Variety Show", the "Unparalleled" album will definitely be a hit in China before it is sold.

The promotional signs of Xiangjiang and Baodao, such as "Thank you for your love" and "Blue Lotus", have attracted many fans.

This issue of "Tiannan Dibei" promotes Yunnan's "Xishuangbanna", with guests including Xu Chen and Tao Hong.

The format of the "Variety Show" program is the same as that of the "Spring Festival Gala", with almost no interviews. "The World" is the only section where there is an opportunity to show personal style.

When Tao Hong met Xu Chen, she suffered an old sin~
"Hello, is Xu Chen here?" Liu Huan knocked on the door. He heard that Xu Chen was here and made a special trip to meet a popular brother from the mainland.

"Senior Brother Liu." Xu Chen raised his head. Liu Huan was also Gu Jianfen's apprentice. He had a high status in the mainland music scene. He appeared on the CCTV Gala in 1987.

His makeup was very simple, just trimming the eyebrows. After all, Liu Huan was older. Xu Chen did not put on any pretense and said politely, "I heard that there will be a powerful singer on stage at the variety show tonight, and it turns out to be Senior Brother Liu."

"Haha... I don't dare to say that I am a capable singer in front of my junior uncle." Liu Huan recorded "Variety Show" to promote the new album "Meet Liu Huan", and I heard that Xu Chen was there.

Xu Chen is too much of a beast in the mainland music scene. Tengger and Fu Di have learned a bloody lesson from this, and Liu Huan wants to worship him at the top of the mountain.

He didn't expect that Xu Chen, who was "arrogant" in the music industry, was very humble in private, so it was natural for him to call him "Little Master Uncle".

"..." Xu Chen was stunned by Liu Huan's words of "little master uncle". Half a year after his debut, Liu Huan, Sun Nan and Naying respectfully welcomed his little master uncle!

Everyone talks about their own affairs, Liu Huan calls Xu Chen his junior uncle, and Xu Chen calls Liu Huan "brother Liu."

After some conversation, it was revealed that Liu Huan is a Tianjin man and there is nothing fancy about him, so the relationship naturally became close.

Liu Huan asked a topic that was of concern to people all over the country. The elders winked and said, "Uncle, if you call me Brother Liu, the princess will also call me Brother. Haha, this is a good deal."

"..." I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, can take advantage of others~
He is indeed my little nephew!

…………

The "Variety Show" is indeed a "Little Spring Festival Gala", with magic, sketches, operas and acrobatics all available, which is an eye-opener for Xu Chen.

Especially for acrobatics, the Guangyun Warrior Acrobatic Troupe presented the show "Turning Stalls and Jumping People". This show will be featured in the 1998 Spring Festival Gala, with thunderous applause backstage.

These people are too superficial. The show is not worth watching. Xu Chen didn't pay attention to the show. His eye-opening was purely because of the "mature and elegant" Sister Zhou.

The most charming moment for a "CCTV leading actress" is definitely when she is on stage hosting a program.

The plain white professional OL skirt outlines the figure curve, the shapely and slender legs are wrapped in tulle meat silk, the frown and smile are dignified and elegant, and the conversation is confident and grand, making people watch from a distance but not to play with.

Xu Chen suddenly reflected on himself. He had fallen. How could he think of Sister Zhou in a white professional OL dress, wrapped in black stockings, wearing black leather and red-soled high heels on her toes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and her hair draped on her round shoulders, leaving her alone? What about tutoring "hosting homework"?

What's the difference between this and letting the cool queen sing "Conquer" in a hoarse voice~
It's all my fault that the movie "Little Lives" led me astray. The gambling and drug addiction of "Little Lives" and I are incompatible!

The recording process of "Variety Show Grand View" is very tight, one program after another, which is dazzling.

Xu Chen's program "Blue Lotus" is a central program, which is very disadvantaged during this time period.

After the stimulation of the previous program, the audience's patience, expectations, and nerves are all weakened. This time in the movie is the "pee time".

This can be seen from the backstage. People gradually dispersed, leaving only a few staff and performers with their eyes closed and concentrating.

Zhou Tao has profound hosting skills and is very aware that this time is very unfriendly to Xu Chen. He rarely breaks through his mature and elegant hosting style. He said enthusiastically and excitedly: "June is the season of harvest, June is the season of enthusiasm, and June is fond of music." For readers, it is a "legendary" season, and the name of this legend is Xu Chen~"

"I would like to invite Xu Chen to bring you the song "Blue Lotus" from the new album "Unparalleled in the World". May we live up to the years and grow flowers along the way."

These few sentences are obviously in praise of Xu Chen. As Zhou Tao is the "leading actress of CCTV", it is almost an exception.

After presiding for more than 40 minutes, Zhou Tao was sweating and walking slowly. Xu Chen "happened" to bump into her just after she got off the stage.

Brother Xu took out a pack of tissues naturally, pulled out a piece of paper, chuckled and said, "Sister Zhou, wipe off your sweat."

Zhou Tao thought of how he met Xu Chen backstage on the last "China Song List" stage. He said the same words, and his heart suddenly felt warm.

Whether paper towels are important, it really doesn't matter, but the small details of human exchanges will make people involuntarily create a tacit understanding.

Zhou Tao wiped his sweat with a tissue and spoke warmly, cheering Xu Chen: "Achen, I believe you will become the king of Chinese pop!"

…………

The stage layout of the "Variety Show Grand View" was very different from the Spring Festival Gala stage, and the audience was full of people.

Xu Chen has already made the accompaniment and chorus of the song "Blue Lotus", so the electric guitar is just an accompaniment this time. Having a complete "accompaniment" and electric guitar accompaniment are two different things.

This is also the first time that Xu Chen has completed singing "Blue Lotus" in a real sense.

All the lights on the stage went out with a "pop", and then a beam of light illuminated the center of the stage.

Xu Chen carried an electric guitar on his back and turned his back to the audience. As the accompaniment music played, he sang softly: "Nothing can stop..."

"Your yearning for freedom..."

"..."

"Blue Lotus" is a rock hit with inspiring lyrics and a soaring melody.

After the murmur of the prelude ended, all the lights on the stage were lit up in an instant. Xu Chen turned around, and the notes of the electric guitar continued to flow like the tide, and the voice became louder: "The free world in my heart."

"So clear and lofty..."

Usually when guests perform, Zhou Tao will sit down and rest for a while. After all, the recording time is 50 minutes, and it is very likely that the recording time will be extended due to some unforeseen events.

But while Xu Chen sang, Zhou Tao stood under the stage.

Although Xu Chen is modest and polite in private, Zhou Tao doesn't like him very much. She likes Xu Chen on stage, who is domineering, confident, flamboyant, arrogant and arrogant... Xu Chen who sings "Blue Lotus" is like the sun rising from the horizon. Likewise, the light dominates the earth wantonly and flamboyantly, and no one can refuse it.

I don't know when Liu Huan appeared backstage. He could have left long ago after the recording of his program. He waited for half an hour just to listen to Xu Chen sing.

Although this was the first time I came into contact with Xu Chen, Xu Chen's record was too strong.

Close your eyes and listen to "Blue Lotus". Xu Chen's voice and singing skills are top-notch. The most terrifying thing is his creative talent.

"One Hundred Years of Solitude", "Deliverance", and "Blue Lotus" were all in different styles but all came from Xu Chen. Liu Huan thought that the newspaper's remarks about Xu Chen's "King of Chinese Pop" were a lunatic's idea.

"Not a madman." Liu Huan thought: "Xu Chen will definitely become the king of Chinese pop."

When the song was about to end, Liu Huan turned around and was about to leave. In front of him was a huge crowd of people, all of whom were CCTV staff and program guests.

Uncle Junior is so scary!

…………

The recording of the "Music Starry Sky" section has been completed, and Xu Chen will next record "The World".

Xu Chen enjoyed recording this program. Zhou Tao and Tao Hong are juxtaposed, each with its own merits. Zhou Tao speaks elegantly and has a dignified manner. When chatting with others, her eyes will always look at you calmly and gently, which makes people relaxed and comfortable.

Tao Hong was much worse, she couldn't control her manners at all, and her face was full of depression!
Ha ha……

Tao Hong made her debut in 1997 with Jiang Wen's movie "Sunny Days". Some time ago, she won the Best Actress at the Damascus International Film Festival and the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award for the movie "Dark Eyes" she starred in.

"Variety Show" is one of the few good opportunities for actors, especially the "Tian Nan Di North" column, which is coveted by film, television, and singer practitioners across the country.

Tao Hong's success this time is due to the fact that she won the International Film Award at the age of 25 and is a promising "new film and television star" in the Mainland.

I dressed up beautifully and rehearsed dozens of times in advance, but when I came up I was like a light bulb.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. Tao Hong stared at Xu Chen, I will stare at you to death!Use all your strength to find opportunities to speak.

Tao Hong is the little dragon girl in "Springs Are Bright", she looks innocent, but Xu Chen bullies her severely.

"To the north and south of the world" this time the recording promotion is in Yunnan.

Xu Chen took the opportunity to sing a cappella: "The South of Colorful Clouds.

After this song was sung, Tao Hong was completely desperate. She listened honestly to Zhou Tao and Xu Chen chatting. Zhou Tao gave her a topic, but she was not in the mood to talk.

I met Xu Chen in this episode, and she came for nothing!
…………

The program recording ends.

It was very late, and Xu Chen was going to treat Liu Huan and Zhou Tao to a late-night snack, but Liu Huan was not there, so they had to go on a date alone.

Zhou Tao is "the leading actress of CCTV" and pays great attention to the quality of life.

Xu Chen was not stupid enough to insist on asking the "pampered" young lady to go to a roadside stall, so he carefully selected a very elegant Japanese cuisine.

Xu Chen hates Japanese food deeply. Japanese food is just a second-hand dish that deceives people and makes them stupidly rich.

Zhou Tao enjoys this style very much, especially Xu Chen who opened a bottle of red wine worth RMB 6 without blinking an eye. She values ​​Xu Chen more and more.

It’s not that you dislike the poor and love the rich. Money is the most intuitive measure of status. There is definitely a difference between having strength and not having strength.

Xu Chen has strength, status, and talent, and Zhou Tao promotes him from "little brother" to "big brother" in his heart.

She has an elegant manner, sitting on her knees with a slender back. She is not hosting a show. Her dignified bun is loosened, and her black and shiny hair reaches her shoulders. She teases her intimately: "Achen won't ask me for anything, otherwise this 6 bottle I don’t dare drink the red wine.”

Xu Chen really needed Zhou Tao's help. "China in the Classics" lacked a host, so there was no hope of stealing away CCTV's leading star. However, it was no problem to ask Zhou Tao to recommend a host: "Sister Zhou, I really have something to ask for." You, I have a program on Peking TV Station and I need a host."

"Achen, do you have a program on Beiping TV?" Zhou Tao's natal family is Beiping TV. Having been based in Beiping TV for many years, she knows very well how deep the water is.

How many surprises does Xu Chen have left!

"Yes, it's a pity that Sister Zhou doesn't have this ambition, otherwise I will drag Sister Zhou onto my pirate ship no matter what I say~" Xu Chen teased Zhou Tao. The Japanese restaurant room was small, and Zhou Tao was right in front of him. This kind of atmosphere It's helpful to tell some ambiguous "boy and girl jokes."

What's more, Zhou Tao is a married woman and is no longer an ignorant girl~
"Haha~" Zhou Tao's beautiful eyes sparkled. She was very rigid in her life. Xu Chen's humor suited her very well. She took a sip of red wine and her fair skin became more delicate and delicate. Her dignified and elegant posture made people think: " I have no chance to get on Achen's pirate ship, but there is someone, a very beautiful little girl, who is just right for your status as the King of Chinese Pop."

"Haha..." This kind of simulated conversation is very interesting. Xu Chen issued a "ship ticket" to Zhou Tao: "Sister Zhou really helped me a lot. I can't repay you. I can't repay you. My pipa skills will be passed on to me." Sister."

Zhou Tao mentioned the pipa many times, which was a sign of her liking. Zhou Taoxia blushed and said, "You're welcome. This little girl is preparing for the exam. I have interviewed her. She has good hosting skills and knowledge. The little girl's name is Cao Ying." ~"

"Achen is so capable, he can definitely convince the little girl to give up the CCTV assessment and join your pirate ship, haha." Zhou Tao smiled, the hosting opportunity of Peking TV Station has become a "thief ship", then she just left the pirate ship Come down.

Xu Chen thought for a while.

He is no stranger to Cao Ying. After Zhou Tao stepped down as the host of "Variety Show Grand View", Cao Ying took over as host.

She did not graduate from a prestigious school, but only had a vocational high school education in beauty and hairdressing. In 94, she went to Xiangjiang TV station to hang out with friends. The show was short of a host. Seeing that Cao Ying was good-looking, the program director gave her the microphone and said, "Come on."

This woman is a talented person. She was able to make a comeback from a vocational high school beauty salon to become a CCTV program host. After achieving success, she resolutely quit filming and became a multi-talented artist integrating film, television, hosting, and singing.

Although she is a nice person, Cao Ying is preparing for an interview as the host of "Variety Show Grand View". It is not easy to give up the opportunity to join a program produced by a private company.

Xu Chen is not a god, so he cannot cover everything. He thought for a while: "Sister Zhou has so much confidence in me, I will definitely give it a try. Please ask Sister Zhou to invite Cao Ying out to meet."

Although the Japanese food was terrible, Xu Chen still ate it happily because Zhou Tao made the rice balls himself.

Most of the bottle of red wine was quickly gone. Zhou Tao was drunk, his manners were elegant, and he spoke much more relaxedly.

CCTV hosts are under a lot of pressure and have to "pretend" every time. Zhou Tao complained: "You are a person who lives in a mold. How should you speak, how should your expression be, how should your posture be? It's still Achen, what do you want on the stage?" So be it."

Xu Chen saw that he had reached the limit and controlled the progress of the strategy, otherwise he would scare away the beauty.

Zhou Tao's plain white professional OL dress is because of her kneeling posture, with her legs together behind her back. Her round and small feet are wrapped in fleshy stockings. The nail polish on her ten toes is brightly colored. The white and greasy skin in the collar of the suit is flushed and fragrant. ~
Before leaving, I carried the high heels with both hands. When I bent down to put on the shoes, my black and shiny hair was parted, my slender back was tense, and the heels of the high heels were straight. I tried to take a few steps, but staggered and almost fell.

Xu Chen had quick hands and quick eyes. He supported Zhou Tao's arm with one hand. He was a gentleman and did not squint. When he supported him, he only received the force in vain.

Zhou Tao was not really drunk to the point of unconsciousness. After all, it was his first time drinking with Xu Chen. He glanced at Xu Chen with beautiful eyes and said intimately: "Achen is really a gentleman."

This was a bit of a sister's joke. Xu Chen cursed: "If women don't drink, men have no chance. That's the truth."

After being helped out of the private room, Zhou Tao returned to his dignified and elegant posture, with no wrinkles in his plain white suit.

Xu Chen really admired this kind of woman, who always looked the most perfect no matter what the occasion.

When sending Zhou Tao back, Xu Chen's habits gave Zhou Tao a new understanding of Xu Chen...

Xu Chen was able to avoid drunk driving!
In 1997, no one followed the rule of not drinking and driving. Although it was a small habit, Zhou Tao liked his attitude of being responsible for his own life and for others.

Zhou Tao's residence is a Tongzi Building in the 80s. He is a glamorous CCTV host, but his treatment is not good and there are many restrictions.

Zhou Tao had just been transferred to CCTV a few years ago and had no savings to buy a house in Peiping.

Xu Chen was very careful and gifted Zhou Tao a bottle of 6 bottles of red wine, and gave a reason why he could not refuse: "Sister Zhou, everyone else is laughing at me, saying that I, the Chinese pop king, don't know how high the sky is, but you are the only one who believes in me. , this bottle of wine is temporarily kept by Sister Zhou. When I really become the king of Chinese pop, this wine will be a celebration wine."

After all, Zhou Tao drank, and she couldn't think about everything. Besides, Xu Chen was the king of the Mainland and could open 6 bottles of red wine at the drop of a hat. She wasn't so pretentious that Xu Chen had bad thoughts towards her: "Okay, Achen, go back and pay attention." Safety."

"Sister, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Achen." Zhou Tao watched Xu Chen leave. As long as the butt of the car could not be seen under the dim street lights, he blew the cold wind to dissipate the smell of alcohol on his body.

She didn't want to explain to her husband, let alone argue. There were just the sounds of children crying in the tube building, men and women quarreling, and the old man coughing in his chest...

The key opened the door. The cramped cabin was filled with furniture, and the door was filled with all kinds of exquisite high-heeled shoes.

Zhou Tao stood stunned at the door, feeling a sense of magical reality. He neatly tied up his hair, rolled up the sleeves of his suit, and was busy in the corridor and kitchen with pots and pans.

This is her life off duty.

…………

Xu Chen didn't drink much wine and was very drunk.

The recording of "Variety Show" is over, and only Zhou Huiming is left to go north for the new album "The World is Unparalleled".

With this album, he showed his determination to win. He became the king of Chinese pop and the devil of mainland China, and all the negative news was swept away.

"China in the Classics" is also on the right track. The host is in place and recording is on the agenda.

At this time.

The phone buzzed, Xu Chen glanced at it: "Doudou, good evening~"

"Brother Chen, are you drinking~" Chen Doudou is now a TV program producer at "Time Pictures" and works part-time as Xu Chen's assistant. He is so busy that he finally transforms from a confused college graduate into a working female white-collar worker in the CD city. He speaks concisely and concisely: "Brother Chen , today a man who claims to be Warner CEO Zhou Jianhui came to the company and wants to see you, Brother Chen, do you want to see him?"
