Hong Kong Comic Master

Unconsciously, time has come to the last day of 1980.

Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Today, Li Wannian returned home early to have a reunion dinner with his parents and family.

Li Wannian just returned home and heard his mother talking to his sister on the phone.

"Don't run around after the performance, come back quickly!"

"Your brother is really a jerk. He let you run so far during vacation! I will punish him when he comes back!"

Hearing this, Li Wannian ran upstairs. There was no way. If he didn't go, his mother would nag him.

Who would have thought that when he turned around and was about to go upstairs, he bumped into Li Wanshan who had just come out of the toilet and was also about to escape upstairs.

"Huh?"

It was this bump that Huang Jiali noticed.

"Okay, I won't say anything for now!"

After hanging up the phone, Huang Jiali immediately shouted to the two brothers: "Stop right there!"

The two brothers who originally wanted to run together suddenly shuddered and stood still.

"Who decided that Xiaoyue would go to Neon?"

"He!"

"He!"

Li Wannian and Li Wanshan pointed at each other at the same time.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Which channel can Xiaoyue's concert be watched on? Can our TV receive it?"

"No, mom, this program is from Neon, and it's all in Neon language. Do you understand it?"

Li Wannian hurried forward to persuade.

"I don't understand it, but I know my daughter. It's a big holiday, so I just want to see her, right?"

"Okay, okay!"

"I'll arrange it!"

As he said that, Li Wanshan came to the phone and made a call.

In less than half an hour, two workers came to the door and installed a signal line for the TV at home.

In those days, satellite TV signal receivers had not yet been invented, so a new signal line could only be connected.

Of course, it is not acceptable to rely on just one signal line. Fortunately, since 1964, the Red and White Songs Contest has been broadcast to areas outside Japan.

Audiences outside Japan can watch it on local cable TV channels, mainly special channels related to Japan.

As for the "Red and White Songs Contest", the full name is "NHK Red and White Songs Battle", which is a music program broadcast once a year by the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) since 1951. After decades of development, it has gradually become Japan's most important evening show, and its ratings are now stable at more than 70% all year round.

It can be said that those who can be on this stage are definitely one of Japan's most popular singers of the year.

The "Red and White" in the program name comes from the concept of red and white confrontation in Japanese kendo, and the red and white of the Red and White Songs Battle divides female and male singers into red and white groups, and conducts them in the form of a song confrontation.

This year's Red and White Songs Contest was broadcast at the Tokyo Broadcasting Hall, where NHK's headquarters is located. The program lasted more than 4 hours and was divided into two parts: the first half was from 19:20 to 20:55 (Neon Standard Time, the same below), and the second half was from 21:00 to 23:45. A 5-minute news was inserted in the gap between the first and second halves.

Tokyo is one hour ahead of Hong Kong Island, so when the workers adjusted the TV, the program had already started.

As expected, as Li Wannian guessed, Huang Jiali couldn't understand the gibberish on TV at all!

"Why hasn't Xiaoyue come on stage yet?"

Huang Jiali, who couldn't understand it at all, felt bored after watching it for a while, and couldn't help but anxiously said.

"It's still early! This program is four hours long, and Xiaoyue's program is in the second half. Why don't we wait until Xiaoyue is about to go on stage and switch back?"

Li Wannian suggested.

"No, what if we miss it? Just leave it like this!"

So, that night, when the family was having a reunion dinner in the restaurant, the Red and White Song Festival was playing on TV. Although no one present could understand it except Li Wannian, it was at least background music.

"Hahahaha..."

At the table, Li Wannian's nephew Li Bangren was particularly active today. Could it be that there were so many more people at home? He kept clapping his small table excitedly.

"Hey, little Renren, are you hungry too?"

Seeing her little grandson so excited, Huang Jiali quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and hugged him directly in her arms.

Now Huang Jiali's most precious thing is this grandson.

There is no way. Today's old people still cannot escape the preference for sons over daughters. If you let Zhao Yazhi give birth to a daughter and see, maybe she won't say anything, but she will definitely feel wronged in her heart and feel sorry for her ancestors.

"Anian, didn't you go back to your hometown this time?"

At the dinner table, Li Chongjun was very concerned about Li Wannian's trip to Shekou this time, and asked about various details in detail.

"Dad, I told you, I was gone for less than a day, how could I have time to go back to my hometown? What's more, how would I know who is at home? If you really want to, go home and take a look!"

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Li Wannian's words made Li Chongjun suddenly have this idea in his mind.

"No!"

But at this moment, Li Wanshui saw that Dadou had some intention in his heart, so he quickly spoke to stop him.

"Why?"

Li Chongjun frowned.

"It's not a good opportunity now! You are the chairman of DreamWorks, and your every move represents the image of the company. If you go back to your hometown and cause sanctions from Taiwan, it will definitely affect the stock price!"

Hearing that it would cause such a big change, Li Chongjun immediately gave up his thoughts and said angrily: "This chairman is really frustrated. I, the chairman, can't do anything else, so I will be sensible!"

"Dad, this is not easy. When you retire, you can go wherever you want!"

At this time, Li Wanshan on the side also spoke to persuade.

After hearing this, Li Chongjun's mind started to move again.

"Dad, this won't work either!"

"Why? Isn't it okay if I don't do it right?"

"The company has only been listed for half a year. If you, the chairman, retire, it will also cause a shock in the stock market!"

"..."

At this moment, Li Chongjun was really fed up with this chairman!

The position that others are eager to take has become a hot potato in his hands. He cannot take it seriously or take it seriously!

"Next, representing the red team, is the super popular girl band from Hong Kong Island, Moonlight-Girls!"

At this time, the host's introduction to Moonlight Girl came from the TV.

"Mom, Xiaoyue's performance is about to begin!"

Li Wannian, the only one who understood neon language, quickly reminded his mother.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Jiali quickly carried her grandson from the dining room to the TV in the living room.

Seeing Huang Jiali like this, the rest of the family also put down their bowls and chopsticks and came to the living room.

On the TV at this time, Li Wanyue was wearing Moonlight Girls' eternal Death version of the school uniform, a white shirt, a short skirt and knee-high socks, holding various musical instruments in her hands.

When several teammates took instruments and started playing at the same time, the entire stage immediately became Li Wanyue's territory, and everyone was attracted by his music and performance.

If before, Moonlight Girls was only popular in a specific circle, then from tonight, everyone in Neon knows about this alternative beautiful girl rock band.
