Entertaining Children

  Chapter 1164 New Year's Eve Talk

  Yanjing TV’s Spring Festival Gala is the latest recording time of the Spring Festival Gala among several satellite TVs, just the day before the Lunar New Year’s Eve. After recording the Spring Festival Gala on Yanjing TV, it was time for the New Year.

  In the past few years, although Xiao Yao has not made his parents worry too much, as they grow older, both Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying have gradually reduced the workload in front of the scene.

  In terms of music, Xiao Yao doesn't need much guidance from Xiao Siqi anymore. In recent years, in addition to occasional concert tours, Xiao Siqi has spent most of his time behind the scenes in music creation, recording work, and training new singers in the studio.

  In terms of film and television, Xiao Yao, who has already partnered with his friends to open a film and television company, now starts his own project and builds the crew to find actors, and he does not need Ye Jiaying to help him find projects and roles. In addition to occasionally appearing in some film and television works by herself, Ye Jiaying now spends most of her time behind the scenes work such as film production and training new actors in the studio.

In the past year, Ye Jiaying and Xiao Siqi did not have many opportunities to show up in front of the scene, and they were less topical. They were chased by media reporters for interviews because of Xiao Yao’s affairs. No one is on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program list this year.

  Xiao Yao did not participate in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala this year, so on the Lunar New Year’s Eve this year, all the rare family of four gathered in Xiao Chengru’s small courtyard and spent a happy New Year’s Eve together.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner was set on the table, Xiao Chengru took his seat and looked at his son, daughter-in-law and grandson, and said with emotion: “It’s rare that this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner is the most crowded, but when I look at it, I feel that our family is still very small. The New Year's Eve dinner is not lively enough!"

"Dad, don't worry!" Ye Jiaying said with a smile, "Doer, the girl, can't run away! Now it is the two of them who have not received the certificate and have not held the wedding. Doer is embarrassed to come. When this time next year, she is sure We have to sit at our old Xiao family’s New Year’s Eve dinner. Doesn’t this make one more person? If it goes well, maybe one more person can be added the next year!"

   "Well, I must work hard!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "Add one for the New Year's Eve dinner next year, and try to add another one the next year!"

   "What?" The three elders all looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

  Xiao Yao said that when a wedding is held in the second half of the year, it is unlikely that there will be any changes in joining people next year. However, the addition of people the next year was purely Ye Jiaying's ridicule with a sense of urging, and the three did not expect Xiao Yao to be so obedient. After all, both of them are still very young now.

   "Are you willing to have children so early?" Ye Jiaying looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Did you discuss with Duoer?"

   "There is no formal discussion, but we can feel each other's thoughts in our usual words." Xiao Yao said, "We are not the kind of people who deliberately delay having children for the sake of our career."

   "That's good!" Ye Jiaying nodded happily, and then smiled again, "Since you don't mind having children early, it's better to work harder and try to add two people on New Year's Eve next year!"

   "How can it work?" Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, "We haven't gotten the certificate yet, and the wedding hasn't been done yet!"

"Then get the certificate soon!" Xiao Chengru said, "Your wedding will be held in the second half of the year. I have no objection. Grandpa, I am very open-minded. As long as you get the certificate first, you are a legal couple, even if you are at the wedding. The bride has a belly, it’s okay!"

"That won't work!" Xiao Yao still shook his head. "Although I have already proposed to marry me, even if I have a big belly, I won't be told that Fengzi is married, but after all, wearing a wedding dress with a big belly is not as good as wearing a wedding dress without a belly. At such an important moment, we have to make Do'er look the most beautiful. We are so young now, although we don't mind having children early, but we are not so impatient!"

  The three looked at each other and had to admit that Xiao Yao made sense.

"Grandpa, if you really think that there are fewer people and deserted, you want to have more people next year's New Year's Eve dinner, it is better to find me a grandma, it must be more reliable than you want to hug grandson next year!" Xiao Yao smiled and said to Xiao Chengru. , "Would you like me to introduce one to you?"

   "Smelly boy, even grandpa dare to have fun!" Xiao Chengru pretended to be angry and patted Xiao Yao on the head.

   "No, I'm serious!" Xiao Yao said, covering his head, "I introduced my dad and my mom to each other!"

"Yeah, Dad!" Xiao Siqi also said, "You said that you are getting older at this age, and you are not willing to ask you to come and live with us. It is better to find a wife. You are accompanied, so we can rest assured! "

   "You kid come to amuse Lao Tzu too!" Xiao Chengru raised his hand angrily.

"Dad, don't be angry!" Ye Jiaying hurriedly stopped Xiao Chengrudao. "They didn't mean that you have to find a wife. They just show their attitude and don't object to you looking for a wife. If you want to find a wife, you can make your own decision. We don’t interfere."

   "Go, I'm having a good time alone, what kind of wife can I look for!" Xiao Chengru stared.

"Yes, yes," Ye Jiaying nodded again and again, bringing the topic back to Xiao Yao, turning her head to say to Xiao Yao, "You have to wait until after the wedding to have children. Anyway, you are still young and you are not in a hurry at this time. I’m not too old now, and when you have children, let me take them with you, and it won’t affect your career!"

"I won't fight with your mother when I was infancy." Xiao Chengru also said to Xiao Yao, "My body is still strong. When the child reaches the age of three or four, he will walk and run, so I will give it to me. I will give it to him. Enlightenment, teach him writing, calligraphy and painting, and tell him historical stories, just like when you were a kid, try to teach him another little evildoer!"

"That won't work!" Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head. "In infancy, both parents can go and help, but they won't throw it at you. The child will go and run away, so it's okay to bring grandpa here to receive the influence. , But it won’t be completely thrown to you, usually we have to bring it ourselves!"

  "Huh? Have you even discussed this matter?" Ye Jiaying was surprised again, "Do'er mean?"

   "I haven't discussed it. This is what I mean. I will try to let Doer take the child by herself. Of course, I will help bring it myself. It won't be hard for you elders." Xiao Yao said.

   "Why?" Ye Jiaying and Xiao Chengru both asked strangely.

   "I'm afraid you will be spoiled!" Xiao Yao smiled, "I am so young and so sensible. I have only had one in many years. I don't believe that my future children will be as precocious and sensible as me."

  The so-called inter-generational relationship, this old man spoils his children, and sometimes it is really meaningless. According to Xiao Yao's previous life experience, most of the children brought by grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents are not as good as those brought by their parents themselves. Xiao Yao himself had traveled here. With a twenty-something-year-old soul in the body of a three-year-old child, naturally there is no problem of being spoiled. He is an example, but also an example around them. Xiao Yao is especially worried that with his example, their actions will cause more deviations.

  Ye Jiaying is a stepmother. She only met Xiao Yao when she was seven years old. She actually didn't have any experience with children, so she didn't have much say in this aspect, so she turned her head to look at Xiao Chengru.

   Xiao Chengru heard what Xiao Yao said, and couldn't help but think of Xiao Yao's childhood. At that time, Xiao Chengru often showed his face because Xiao Yao was more sensible than the grandchildren of those older brothers and sisters. But think about it carefully, is it really because those old buddies and sisters teach their children not as good as themselves? You know, there are also some old artists among Xiao Chengru’s older brothers and sisters. Xiao Chengru himself is not an expert in education. The only explanation is that children like Xiao Yao are scorpions **** - alone. One serving!

   Xiao Yao saw that neither Xiao Chengru nor Ye Jiaying immediately refuted, and immediately changed the subject, pointing to the TV in the living room and saying, "Grandpa, the Spring Festival Gala is beginning!"

  Although CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala has been judged to be worse than every year, as an elderly person like Xiao Chengru, it has become a habit to watch the Spring Festival Gala early on New Year’s Eve. As long as he doesn't go to the Spring Festival Gala, Xiao Chengru watches in front of TV every New Year's Eve. Before the start of the New Year’s Eve dinner this year, Xiao’s family also turned on the TV and switched to CCTV to wait to watch.

"This Spring Festival Gala, it's really not as good as a year." Xiao Chengru sighed, "I watched the news on the Internet a few days ago and said that this year's sketches of several old actors have been killed, and there is a lot of traffic. Whatever, you guys didn't go, so it's even more unattractive."

   "Grandpa," Xiao Yao smiled and touched his face, "Your grandson, I am also a little fresh meat, okay? Do you want me to go, or don't you want me to go?"

  "Are you also a traffic star, a little fresh meat?" Xiao Chengru looked at Xiao Yao and said.

   "Why not?" Xiao Yao smiled, "I have many fans, high popularity, wide influence, and no traffic. Why is it not a traffic star? I am young and handsome. Why is it not a little fresh meat?"

   "Really?" Xiao Chengru turned to look at Ye Jiaying and Xiao Siqi.

"Although Bayi is not very humble, it's not wrong to say it!" Ye Jiaying smiled, "but he is different from the derogatory traffic stars and Xiao Xianrou who have no power and no works. The outside world still evaluates him. Very good, whether it is music or film and television, he is a young artist with talent, strength and works. He is generally not called a traffic star or a small fresh meat, but by definition, he is indeed considered to be both. on."

  "What about your fans? Is it also the kind of people who scold people everywhere on the Internet?" Xiao Chengru asked Xiao Yao again.

   "No!" Xiao Yao said strangely, "Why do you care about my fans?"

"I remember watching a news story in the second half of last year. When I said that it was Lao Tan who was participating in a program, I asked who was who, and many fans of that who went to Lao Tan's Weibo to scold him. Later, Lao Tan had to turn off the comments on Weibo.” Xiao Chengru said, “If you dare to let your fans do this kind of thing, don’t blame me for letting Lao Liu take care of you!”

Xiao Yao has also heard of what Xiao Chengru said. The full name of Lao Tan mentioned by Xiao Chengru is Tan Guosheng. He is a very famous old actor in China. He is more than 60 years old this year, and he can be regarded as a contemporary performance artist with Xiao Chengru. And who in his mouth is Yang Kai, who is less than twenty years old, is a young idol star who has become famous and has a large number of fans.

"The matter of Grandpa Tan is a fan's spontaneous behavior." Xiao Yao explained with a smile, "Although the fan behavior, the idol pays the bill, but at most that matter is that Yang Kai and his team did not handle it well, not necessarily Yang Kai. Kai himself doesn’t respect the seniors. Yang Kai was admitted to the Yandian Department of Acting last year. At least it seems like someone who wants to study seriously acting seriously. There are more people in the entertainment industry than Yang Kai. The example is not good. Besides, since I debuted for so many years, when did you worry about it? Do you still need your warning?"

   "Hehe," Xiao Chengru smiled, and then asked with great interest, "Who do you think and his team did not handle well, if it's you, what would you do?"

   "I am your grandson, how could Grandpa Tan not know me?" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "Nonsense," Xiao Chengru stared, "I mean if you were Yang Kai, how would you react!"

  "First of all, from the time I caught illegitimate meals, to the present performance for so many years, my fans will not appear on a large scale to curse people under the Weibo of the older generations.

"Secondly, if it’s because of black fans, do you understand this? It’s because my fans pretend to be my fans, and the people who deliberately want to discredit me go to me for hacking. I will develop a Weibo publicly. , Introduce Mr. Tan who I am, and then Mr. Attham, let Mr. Tan himself and my true fans see my attitude towards this matter, then those true fans will naturally help me suppress this matter. Let's go down." Xiao Yao smiled, "Similar things have not appeared in the entertainment circle before, and the employees of my studio have already made plans to deal with it."

   "Well, looking at you like this, you should definitely let go!" Xiao Chengru smiled and nodded.

   "Aren't you letting go soon?" Xiao Yao smiled.

  "Stop talking about me, just talk about others." Xiao Yao said to Xiao Chengru, "Do you know who the hottest traffic star and fresh meat actor this year are? Of course, except me."

   "Who?" Xiao Chengru asked.

"It's an actor named Ju Yitaki who went to the Spring Festival Gala this year." Xiao Yao said, "Although he suddenly became popular this year, he is already 30 years old. I have been acting silently for ten years, and I have played many roles. The acting skills are absolutely okay! So, traffic stars and fresh meat are not the kind of incapable.

"Renewal in any industry is normal!" Xiao Yao continued, "The Spring Festival Gala should also keep pace with the times! Those old artists' sketches and so on look pretty good, but every year they are all those faces. Those burdensome jokes and routines have been guessed, and it's boring to watch! If you really can't attract young people, only you older people can watch, the Spring Festival Gala really has no future."

"The truth is such a truth, but I'm afraid that old guys like us fade out, and those who are on top are all empty-looking and incompetent flowers!" Xiao Chengru sighed, "I know you are capable, but now How many young people are like you?"

"Sure enough, I am an old artist, and I worry about the environment of the entire industry." Xiao Yao smiled, "This kind of thing actually depends on the market. There are audiences and fans who only look at their looks but not their skills, naturally there are those. There are only celebrities who are not capable of looks. But if the audience's requirements increase, it depends on actors with acting skills, and those who have no looks will naturally be eliminated."

"Over the years, the audience's requirements have been constantly improving." Xiao Yao continued, "The most glorious moments of traffic stars have almost passed. In the past two years, non-acting traffic stars have been unable to get the best movies. The high box office, many of them are horrible. Look at the several movies that will be on the Spring Festival this year, which one of the leading actors is not an actor with a good reputation for acting?"

   "Well," Xiao Chengru nodded, smiled and waved his hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, eat vegetables and watch the Spring Festival Gala."
