don't mess with me

Chapter 218 History of Spring Festival Gala Evolution

After the third little Gail drank the medicine, Xiao Shitou finally showed a disgusted expression. He kept stepping back and said, "It's too bad to drink, I won't drink it anymore." There is no difference.

Mayor Wang grabbed me and kept saying, "Drug! Medicine!"

I unconsciously followed up in a low voice: "Cheke made trouble—"

The baby said: "Stone, how do you feel now?"

Little Shitou jumped onto the table suddenly and said, "I'm going home to watch "Joyful and Big Big Wolf". I won't take my medicine anymore."

Mayor Wang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears: "He can remember cartoons!" A child who wanted to watch "Joyful and Big Big Wolf" made him so excited, and he was going to make a fuss about watching Japanese porn. The old man couldn't stop smiling at Jiuquan.

Mayor Wang grabbed Xiao Shitou and said emotionally, "Shitou, bow to these benefactors!"

Shi Shi looked at us curiously and said, "Grandpa, who are they?"

Only then did Mayor Wang mumble, "I don't know your names yet."

"Just call me Xiaoqiang."

Mayor Wang said: "Xiaoqiang, how long do you think this child will have to take the medicine?"

"You can't take too much of this medicine, or it will have side effects."

Mayor Wang said: "Then how can we know if he is okay?"

I took out my mobile phone and searched for pi, shook it in front of the stone, then put it away and said, "How many numbers can you remember?"

Little Shitou said: "3..." He recited more than 14159265 digits behind the decimal point in one breath, and then said, "I can't remember the latter."

I told Mayor Wang: "I can memorize 20 digits of pi at once, and my memory is far superior to that of my peers. I think it's okay!"

Mayor Wang said: "Then you give him another drink and let him break the world record once."

I laughed and said: "You are quite greedy, have you heard that it is better to overcorrect?"

Mayor Wang just gave up and hugged the little stone for a while to look at it and touch it for a while, and kept checking his home address and parents' names. Tears said: "How should I thank you - how much is the medicine, I will buy it!"

Wa Wa said: "We don't sell this medicine, and we didn't save Xiao Shitou just to get the Spring Festival Gala project."

Mayor Wang nodded repeatedly and said, "Oh, you are all good people."

Yang Jian said: "But you don't really intend to forget about this, do you?"

Mayor Wang said awkwardly: "By the way, why do you have to get this project?"

Wawa said: "We just want to arrange a party that can make people happy."

Mayor Wang asked doubtfully, "Really?"

The baby said: "We are such good young people who are pursuing and caring, why don't you worry about it?"

Mayor Wang motioned for us to sit down and said, "This matter has to be calculated carefully." He asked me, "Have you done similar performances before?"

I shook my head: "No."

"I heard you were born as a magician?"

"That's also fake, I don't know how to do magic tricks at all." When it comes to this point, I can only tell the whole story.

Mayor Wang stroked his hair worriedly and said, "Then do you have a team?"

"Squad...squad?"

"It's directing, photography, lighting and so on."

I spread my hands and said, "I don't know any of these people."

Mayor Wang buried his head even lower: "Is it all about money?"

I said blankly: "No—oh, by the way, let me tell you the truth, we are not rich second generations!"

Mayor Wang said in amazement: "Who asked you to do this?"

I pointed at the doll: "She!"

Mayor Wang said helplessly: "So you are a bunch of laymen?"

I nodded: "I can't go outside anymore."

Mayor Wang said: "So you want to be famous?"

Wawa said: "We really want to hold a good-looking party."

Mayor Wang closed his eyes and stopped talking. I said cautiously, "Mayor, what's wrong with you?"

Only then did Mayor Wang open his eyes and said, "I'm thinking, if I suddenly wake up now, should this be a nightmare or a sweet dream." There is no doubt that the sweet dream refers to Xiao Shitou's recovery, and the nightmare refers to us...

Yang Jian said: "Of course it's a beautiful dream—" He grabbed Xiao Shishi's hand and said, "Child, please persuade your grandpa."

Mayor Wang said weakly: "Well, I'll get rid of this old face, and this year's Spring Festival Gala will give you the name of the main creator!"

I waved my hands with the doll and said, "This is not what we drew!"

Mayor Wang said with a crying voice: "This must be a nightmare!"

Wawa said seriously: "Mayor Wang, think about it, is this show for you to complete your political mission or to make the common people happy?"

Mayor Wang said with a wry smile: "Now that the Spring Festival Gala has been complained about, even if I am interested in the common people, I will not be happy."

The baby said: "But our purpose is to make the common people happy!"

Mayor Wang said: "If there is no such thing as a small stone, if you tell me about this, I must immediately ask the guards to arrest you!"

The baby said: "Our goal is to make people laugh every 3 minutes, and smile knowingly every 1 minute. Of course, it is best to have a smile with tears."

Mayor Wang opened his hands and said, "Just because of you laymen?"

I said: "There is indeed something that needs your help, such as this team."

Mayor Wang said: "The team is easy to talk about, but you have to have a show, right?"

"Program?" I asked blankly.

Mayor Wang took out a bottle of unknown medicine from the drawer and swallowed a piece of it in his mouth, saying, "If you do this again, I will give you Xiaoshi's life right now!"

I just remembered that holding the Spring Festival Gala is a program, it’s not holding a track and field competition, just draw a track around the circle and wait for others to come.

I asked, "Then how were the previous programs selected?"

Mayor Wang said: "Large state-owned and private companies, as well as cultural institutions choose to deliver, and some local customs and local characteristics, it will take about two to three hours."

The baby and I looked at each other, and said in unison: "This kind of program is not acceptable."

Mayor Wang said: "Then you have to find the creative team yourself. Besides, if you hold the party yourself, you have to deal with the investment yourself."

I asked again: "Where did the previous investment come from?"

Mayor Wang said: "The government has designated funds, and enterprises also have soft investment—to put it bluntly, it is advertising. There are a few enterprises that cooperate well with the government. If you are interested, I can match you up."

"They paid for it, do we have to promote it for them?"

Mayor Wang glanced at me like an idiot and said, "What do you think?"

I thought for a while and said, "Then we have to figure out our own way to invest, and take advantage of others, so I won't be a puppet."

Wa Wa said to Mayor Wang: "Then this is settled, right?"

Mayor Wang put another pill in his mouth and said, "You have no experience, no team, and no money..."

Wawa smiled and said, "Mayor Wang, we didn't cure Xiao Shishi to get the project, but your majestic mayor doesn't want to owe favors, does he?"

I glared at her and said, "Why are you so utilitarian?" I smiled apologetically, "Mayor Wang, it's really not just for the project that we cured the little stone."

Mayor Wang sighed: "It's not just for the project, isn't that what it means?" He gritted his teeth and said, "That's it!"

I was both curious and delighted: "Really?"

Mayor Wang said: "Who told me that I owe too much favor? I've already thought about it. Once this matter gets out, I will be slapped with double regulations sooner or later. I can see it. You just want to mess around. I'll spare this seat to stay with you." Finally, the old man whispered, "Anyway, no one is watching our show."

I hurriedly held the old man's hand and said, "Thank you for the strong support from the government."

Mayor Wang said dejectedly: "I figured it out, I'm taking bribes." He looked at the bottle in my hand and said, "Can you keep this medicine for me?"

I solemnly said: "No, it's not that I can't bear it, it's that this medicine is very dangerous, and the rest can only be disposed of."

Mayor Wang said: "What if Xiaoshitou's condition relapses?"

I thought so, so I said, "Then I'll keep it for you for a while, and wait until the condition of the stone is stable."

Mayor Wang nodded and said, "Today is too late. I will ask my secretary to contact you tomorrow. He will help you with some basic work." He pulled Shitou and said, "Shitou, goodbye to my uncles and sisters."

Xiao Shitou waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, I remember you promised me that you would take me to eat ten ice creams at a time!"

Mayor Wang burst into tears again and said, "This kid, he remembered everything!"

……

Just like that, I have jumped from an unknown writer to or will soon become the chief director of a Spring Festival Gala in one afternoon. I rubbed my chin and muttered: "Should I grow a beard from now on?"

Wawa said: "Come on, directors with beards are out of fashion now!"

When we got home in the evening, we didn’t even have time to eat, so we concentrated on making up for the past Spring Festival Gala. We started from the first Spring Festival Gala in 83, looked for all the videos we could find on the Internet, and watched all the Spring Festival Gala for more than 30 years. For more than 100 hours, we almost watched it with eye drops (Yang Jian and Nezha were relatively relaxed).

The doll held a pen and paper and occasionally recorded something. After reading it, she frowned and said nothing. I said, "Tell me, what did you find?"

The baby said: "Have you noticed that although the stage was shabby and the technology was backward in the previous Spring Festival Gala, there was a happy family atmosphere?"

I nodded and said, "That's why the later Spring Festival Gala was gradually criticized for being flashy and empty." To say that I am also born in the 80s, I remember that when we were young, everyone waited for the opening of the Spring Festival Gala like the stars and the moon every New Year. I forgot most of the programs I watched, but it felt good. I don’t know when the feeling of the Spring Festival Gala changed, and then it became a grand dinner party for complaining.

Lu Dongbin said: "At that time, the actors often appeared from the auditorium coldly."

I said, "You look very carefully."

The baby said: "There is something to learn from this. The stage should not be too big. In the past, the party was like a party for a unit or a big family. But later on, although the stage effect has improved, the distance between people has also become farther away. .”

Lu Dongbin said: "And the stars at that meeting were airless."

Wawa said: "We'd better not invite too popular stars, it's easy to create a sense of alienation from the audience."

Lu Dongbin said: "Special effects should also be restrained. The stage makes one piece of the other useless. What people watch is the show and not the Rubik's Cube."

Wawa said: "Xiaoqiang, do you remember everything?"

I said deeply: "We don't need a big stage, we don't do cool stunts, we don't invite big-name stars—don't worry, I haven't thought about these at all, we don't have that much money at all!"
