China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 137 First appearance at the Spring Festival Gala! "Chinese Kongfu"! (Please subscribe!)
Zhang Yimou's new movie that started shooting in 01 will definitely be "Hero".

The film grossed 2.5 million at the box office in the mainland and 1.84 million US dollars at the global box office. It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Even a small role in a movie of this level is the dream of many actors.

I have to admit that the bait Zhang Ziyi threw out was very attractive.

Others might have been fooled, but Lin Xuan knew more about the inside story than they did.

Zhang Ziyi has a supporting role in this movie, and she only got the role through competition with Gong Li.

In other words, she is not sure whether she can participate in this movie.

Therefore, the recommendation she gave was just a recommendation and could not affect Lao Mouzi's decision.

In this case, if Lin Xuan wanted to star in this movie, he could have auditioned through Hua Yi's connections, and there was no need for her to be the matchmaker.

"How about this, are you interested in this movie? I heard it's a martial arts movie, and it suits your style very well."

Zhang Ziyi thought she was sure of victory, and no one could refuse Zhang Yimou's film.

"Wow, no one wants to star in a movie directed by Zhang Yimou."

Lin Xuan's tone was exaggerated.

Before she could laugh, she continued, "Can Sister Ziyi choose the male lead?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ziyi was choked and speechless.

Unofficially confirmed to be the leading actor in Zhang Yimou's movie?
Are you crazy? I'm not that capable.

Besides, I'm just going to recommend you to play a supporting role, not the protagonist.

Zhang Ziyi still smiled and said: "Director Zhang is planning to find a national superstar as the leading actor in the movie.

But there are a few supporting characters in the movie, and I think you can give it a try. "

"Supporting role? Forget it then." Lin Xuan looked disappointed when he heard this.

Zhang Ziyi frowned in confusion: "How can we forget it? It's Zhang Yimou's movie, a big production with an investment of hundreds of millions."

"Sister Ziyi, have you ever heard of that saying, I would rather have the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

I am the absolute leading male in the TV industry, so why go to the film industry to pick up scraps that others don’t want. "

"TV is different from movies..."

Zhang Ziyi was still trying to persuade him. At this moment, Tu Honggang came over and waved and shouted:
"Lin Xuan, you came so early."

"It's getting late, please wait for me."

Lin Xuan thought to himself that he came just in time: "I'm sorry, Sister Ziyi, I'm going to put on makeup. Let's talk next time."

After saying that, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

Zhang Ziyi frowned and sighed, looking at his back, she snorted in her heart.

Little man, don’t think you can escape my grasp.

…………

After lining up to put on makeup, Lin Xuan and the others came to the backstage to wait.

Just as the program on stage ended, several hosts came down from the stage.

There are four hosts for this year's Spring Festival Gala, Zhou Tao, Zhu Jun, Cao Ying, and Zhang Zheng.

"Director Lin, long time no see."

Cao Ying saw him and waved to him with a smile.

She officially entered the entertainment industry this year and will star in the TV series "Oolong".

Lin Xuan also received an invitation to this drama, but unfortunately he turned it down.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Lin Xuan responded with a smile, and then greeted the other three hosts.

"Brother Jun, Sister Tao, Teacher Zhang."

The three of them also nodded in kind and said hello.

Zhou Tao asked with a smile: "It's your first time attending the Spring Festival Gala, are you nervous?"

Lin Xuan looked up at her, with a beautiful face and a charming smile.

"I was quite nervous at first, but after rehearsing more times, I became less nervous."

"You are so confident, then come on."

"Thank you, Sister Tao."

Cao Ying said: "Director Lin, don't forget what you promised me last time."

She will leave CCTV next year and attaches great importance to her career as an actress.

"What did I promise you?" Zhou Tao was curious and asked with a smile.

Cao Ying explained: "At the last Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, Director Lin promised to invite me to audition when I shoot a new work. You haven't forgotten it, right?"

"Of course not."

"I can rest assured that."

Zhou Tao turned to look at Lin Xuan: "What work is it? A new movie?"

She has also watched "Adult Styles of Love", which was quite popular last year.

Lin Xuan looked into her eyes: "I want to make a martial arts TV series this year."

"I quite like martial arts dramas, and there is a TV series to follow."

Zhou Tao nodded slightly, with a charming smile.

This was obviously just a polite comment, but Cao Ying was quite familiar with Lin Xuan's new drama.

"No need to wait, "The Swordsman" will premiere in March. It is a large-scale production by CCTV with an investment of 4000 million. I have been looking forward to it for a long time."

Lin Xuan was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect Cao Ying to understand it in detail.

After chatting for a few minutes backstage, the show on stage was finished and the host returned to the stage to announce the curtain.

Lin Xuan is also preparing to enter.

The last rehearsal ended successfully.

There are still six or seven hours before the party starts.

During this period, you can stay in the CCTV building or go out to rest.

Lin Xuan felt that there were too many people here and it was too boring, so he asked a few friends to go out for a cup of tea.

I didn’t come back until it got dark after dinner.

…………

It’s 07:30 on New Year’s Eve and it’s already dark.

Countless people are staying with their families, enjoying the delicious New Year’s Eve dinner, and waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to start.

In Beijing, Yang Mi's family had already had dinner, and the family was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Mimi, you can't watch the Spring Festival Gala too late, you have to go to bed early."

Seeing how attentive she was, Father Yang couldn't help but remind her.

"No, Lin Xuan's show won't be released until early in the morning. I have to watch it before going to bed."

After hearing this, the parents sighed and gave up persuasion.

As long as Lin Xuan is involved, this damn girl will be very stubborn.

"Isn't he quite popular? Why is the show scheduled so late?" Mother Yang didn't understand.

"You don't understand this, right? The closer to the early morning of New Year's Eve, the more attention the program receives." Yang Mi specifically consulted online and immediately educated parents who didn't understand.

The parents looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

It would be great if you were so smart when you studied.

At eight o'clock sharp, the show starts.

There have been great changes in the hosting of this year’s Spring Festival Gala.

Ni Ping and Zhao Zhongxiang were absent, and many new faces came on board.

However, the four people on stage are good-looking, in line with the current mainstream aesthetics, and everyone can accept them.

After the two warm-up songs ended, everyone’s favorite sketch session finally arrived.

Guo Da, Cai Ming's work "The Matchmaker".

Yang Mi's parents were very happy to watch it and were very amused by the lines in it.

"what's so funny?"

Yang Mi couldn't understand and found it very boring. They were all singing operas. Who could understand?

"You are still young, you will be able to understand later." Mother Yang said casually.

This sketch also has some classic lines, such as "The red flag does not fall down at home, but the colorful flags are fluttering outside."

Adults understand what it means, but how can children understand it?

Next is a song and dance medley.

The performers were several singer groups, but no one was impressed.

The fifth program is Guo Donglin, Feng Gong, and Guo Yue's sketch "Advancement".

Without Niu Qun as his partner, Feng Gong's works are moving closer to sketches.

However, the performance is good, making people laugh more than Guo Da's "The Matchmaker", and Yang Mi can also understand it.

But in terms of the sketch that the audience is most looking forward to, it is of course the Spring Festival Gala sketch king Zhao Benshan.

This year's work "Trafficking" is his new peak.

The three people performed almost perfectly, making thousands of viewers laugh.

Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei, and Gao Xiumin officially started the Iron Triangle era.

Watching the show, eating melon seeds, chatting, time flies by.

Yang Mi couldn't stay up late and watched TV for several hours, and her eyelids began to tremble.

"Go to sleep if you feel sleepy. Don't hold on."

"No, Lin Xuan hasn't come out yet. Dad, what time is it now?"

Father Yang sighed and looked at his watch: "There's still half an hour until midnight, it should be almost soon."

"I'll hold on a little longer."

She ran to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water.

When watching idol programs, you must be at your best.

Not long after, the hosts Zhou Tao and Zhu Jun came on stage.

"Martial arts are our country's traditional cultural treasures. Swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks and forks, and eighteen kinds of martial arts, each one is a precious cultural heritage."

"Practicing martial arts diligently can not only strengthen the body, but also temper the will."

"Yes, it is the iron will that is willing to bend without bending that allows the Chinese nation to go through all difficulties without bending and always stand at the top of world civilization."

"Now please enjoy the performance of song and martial arts - "Chinese Kung Fu"."

"Welcome Lin Xuan, Tu Honggang!"

"here we go!"

After hearing the announcement, Yang Mi immediately became energetic.

The stage curtain slowly opened.

Lin Xuan appeared on stage wearing a white training suit.

Behind him were a group of martial artists wearing colorful clothes.

The camera showed him a close-up, and Lin Xuan smiled and saluted the audience.

"Wow, he's so handsome!" Yang Mi shook her legs excitedly.

The accompaniment of "Chinese Kung Fu" sounded, and Lin Xuan performed the Tai Chi starting position.

"Lying like a bow, standing like a pine tree, sitting motionless like a bell, walking like a gust of wind..."

As Tu Honggang sang, Lin Xuan began to perform Tai Chi.

Movements are slow, postures are soft, coherent and smooth, body movements are upright, coordinated and complete, light and steady.

Tai Chi is very beautiful.

No one in Yang Mi's family said anything, they were all admiring it seriously.

Suddenly, the tune began to speed up, and the martial artist threw a long sword from behind.

Lin Xuan seemed to have eyes in his back. He turned around to pick up the sword, unsheathed it and began to perform sword skills.

This set of movements is flowing and extremely smooth.

Yang Mi was too excited to say anything.

Even Yang's father, who had no interest in star actors, looked at him differently.

This action of turning around and drawing the sword is so cool.

Stab, split, tease, hang, cloud, point, collapse, cut.

Lin Xuan repeatedly switches between the eight sword styles and moves in conjunction with his footsteps. His movements are sometimes swift and agile, sometimes domineering and sharp.

Although I can't tell which sword technique it is, the viewing effect is excellent and it's just handsome.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuan threw away the long sword and took a long spear from the martial arts master.

At this time, Tu Hong just sang "The stick sweeps away a large area, the gun picks out a line."

The two of them cooperated perfectly without any mistakes.

The key points of marksmanship are: one thrust to the eyebrow, two thrusts to the hand, three thrusts to the shoulders, four thrusts to the elbows, five thrusts to the chest, six thrusts to the knees, seven thrusts to the strange python to walk through the crotch, eight thrusts to the golden rooster with random nods, ten movements to the five tiger door-breaking spears, and turning around on horseback. It is difficult for the enemy to leave.

A set of great opening and closing, a powerful shooting performance was completed.

Lin Xuan threw away the spear, picked up the microphone on the ground, and started singing with Tu Honggang.

The main close-ups of the show are given to him.

Fans and audiences watched him display his charm and talent on stage.

With smooth and handsome kung fu and majestic singing voice, Lin Xuan’s Spring Festival Gala debut ended perfectly.

"Clap clap clap..."

Yang Mi clapped excitedly, her face flushed with excitement.

This show is so good, the martial arts are good, and the songs are good. It's worth waiting for her for so long.

"Okay, now that we've finished watching the show, it's time to go to bed."

Yang Mi was in agitated mood at this time and couldn't sleep.

"It's almost midnight, let's just finish reading."
