Chapter 111: The Top of the Forbidden City (Part I)
Exclusively sponsored by China Group and jointly organized by CCTV, the "Cheer for the Olympics" Forbidden City Night Party Ceremony has finally arrived. The capital has become a gathering place for Chinese stars from all over the world, who have come from all over the world to participate in the unprecedented gala performance.
Any Chinese celebrity whose name can be said will appear at the party, and no one will be absent. Even if you are sick, you have to come and join in the fun.
"Being able to cheer for the Olympics and give my voice in the Forbidden City Square is a precious experience that I will never forget in my life, and it is also an honor that will be commendable for a lifetime!"
A Chinese superstar said in an interview with reporters at the airport.
"Today is a grand scene that has not been seen in the entertainment industry and even the literary and artistic circles for many years, and I feel that as long as I come, I will have no regrets when I can perform with so many excellent peers. As for the pay, I'll be honest with you, there are only 5 tickets and reimbursement of travel expenses.
But none of that matters, everyone who can come will think of tonight as the pinnacle of their acting career. ”
Another diva excitedly told reporters that she was also looking forward to the evening performance.
Gathering so many Chinese superstars, it is natural that influential domestic and foreign media have been present, how can such a sensational event not have their figures.
"This is another large-scale music festival held in the Forbidden City after the three international tenors singing. Unlike the last time it was a foreign friend, this is the first time that a Chinese artist has sung in the Forbidden City. With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, many influential Chinese superstars have been invited to attend.
It is foreseeable that the Chinese people around the world will focus their eyes here tonight, and everyone will witness the birth of the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City!"
A reporter stood in front of the Forbidden City Square and introduced to the camera.
In order to meet everyone's expectations, CCTV broadcast the party live to the world in the central one, three and four sets. And from 9 o'clock in the morning, on the three sets of variety show channels, a 12-hour live broadcast in front of and behind the scenes was started.
In the afternoon, traffic control was implemented on the roads around the Forbidden City, and the capital police sent a large number of manpower to the scene to maintain order and escort the grand ceremony.
At the same time, in the dormitory of Huaqing University, Chen Lingxi and his roommates were packing up their things and preparing to set off for the Forbidden City.
"Look at my dark circles, I was so excited last night that I didn't sleep well all night. In the morning class, I listened with my eyelids on my back. ”
Fang Yiyi pointed to her eyes and said to her roommates.
"Don't mention it, you tossed and turned last night, and I didn't sleep well. Look at me, the same panda eyes. On the contrary, Lingxi was quiet on the bed, and it was estimated that she fell asleep in the whole dormitory. ”
Another roommate with short hair said after picking up a thin coat and putting it in his school bag.
"Hey, how did you get your coat on?"
Fang Yiyi's eyes were sharp, and she asked casually after seeing her roommate's movements.
"The Forbidden City Square is empty, with a light rain in the morning and a cold wind in the evening, so bring a jacket and be prepared. ”
Hearing this, the others also prepared to look for clothes to keep out the cold. At the beginning of June, the temperature difference in the capital is large, 23 degrees during the day, and it drops to 14 degrees at night, and you will feel cold if you wear short sleeves.
Chen Lingxi opened the door of the wardrobe, looked around and found that the most suitable warm item at the moment was the shawl that Han Hao brought back. If it's cold, you can unfold the shawl and wrap it around your body, perfect for the current weather.
"Lingxi, why haven't I seen this shawl of yours?"
When Chen Lingxi took out the shawl and was about to put it in the backpack, he was discovered by the sharp-eyed Fang Yiyi.
As soon as they heard this, the rest of the dormitory gathered around and looked at the shawl in Chen Lingxi's hand. The origin of this shawl is really inconvenient to say, so Chen Lingxi put it in the wardrobe after taking it back.
"It feels so good, it's so comfortable to the touch, and it's still hand-knitted!"
Fang Yiyi slid on this shawl, then lowered his head and sighed after seeing the weaving threads of different thicknesses on it.
"yes, Lingxi, don't tell us when you get such a good thing. It looks like cashmere, so it's so exquisite. ”
Another roommate was also full of praise when he saw the shawl.
"This is a gift that my dad brought me back from a business trip to India, and he said that it is a very common thing over there, so it is only a few hundred yuan......
Speaking of white lies, Chen Lingxi felt a little unreasonable, so he was hesitant in the end. She couldn't say that it was a gift from Han Hao, so it was even more unclear. Therefore, her trustworthy father has become her last resort.
"Your father is really good to you, if this shawl is sold in domestic shopping malls, it is estimated to cost thousands of yuan. However, I know that handmade shawls are very popular in India, and it is quite cost-effective to purchase a few hundred yuan locally, so I knew that your dad would also bring us a few more shawls back. ”
The short-haired roommate was familiar with some trend information and explained it in a hurry.
Although the shawl is very beautiful, it is more important to watch the party, and the dormitory group of four people walked out of the school gate, first took the bus and then transferred to the subway to get off at the Forbidden City station.
"This point in time should be the stage when everyone is ready to enter the market, why are there not many people. ”
A short-haired roommate who has experience watching concerts muttered.
Whenever a large-scale party is held in the capital, the subway is the preferred mode of travel. But just now, there are only a few passengers who get off here.
"Don't think about it, it is estimated that there are only a very small number of people like us who come by subway with tickets for the party. The people who can have tickets to attend the party are all people with heads and faces, and they all come by car or hitchhiking. ”
This time, it was Fang Yiyi who said the clue.
As soon as I got out of the station, I saw many traffic police maintaining order, and sure enough, a large number of vehicles were blocked on the road, and from time to time there were people in gorgeous clothes walking down from various luxury cars.
On the other hand, Chen Lingxi's four female college students are the outliers in the scene, and their simple dress is particularly conspicuous in the crowd.
"Those who have tickets go inside, and those who don't have tickets go to the other side of the passage. Hey, what about your tickets, please show me. ”
Soon, the security personnel who maintained order at the scene found Chen Lingxi and others and asked them to show the bills.
Looking at the tickets handed over by Chen Lingxi, the security personnel checked and found that they were genuine tickets, and these four girls who seemed to be students were able to get so many tickets, I don't know which one it is.
"Alright, go inside!"
The vicious attitude just now immediately eased down, and pointed to the place to let them pass.
"I really look down on people, thinking that we are fishing in troubled waters!"
Fang Yiyi pouted and said dissatisfied.
"Be more considerate, it's not easy for everyone, so many people have to be guided at the scene. ”
Chen Lingxi smiled and comforted Fang Yiyi and said.
After a total of three checkpoints, the four girls finally entered the main venue and saw the huge stage towering above the Forbidden City Square.
On both sides of the stage, two never-before-seen sedans were placed, and many people took advantage of the time before the performance began to watch from below.
This is the upcoming third-generation "Qin", which adopts the unique design language of "water droplets and ripples" of Zhonghua Motor, and is the flagship of a new generation of sedans built by Zhonghua Group.
"This car is quite beautiful, I can't see that it is actually a domestic sedan, which is too far from the image of a domestic car in my impression. ”
One of the onlookers shook his head and sighed.
"Yes, domestic cars are progressing very fast, and I can't believe that this car is a domestic sedan if you don't say it. ”
Another audience member accosted.
The ticket in hand does not show the specific area of the seat, so you have to find it yourself from the schematic map at the door.
"Hey, our position is so high! Lingxi, your dad got a lot of tickets, you look at the seat map here, we are sitting in the third row in the middle of the stage. ”
Fang Yiyi took the ticket and pointed to the location map at the entrance of the scene.
"I thought I'd sit at the back and watch it! I didn't expect to be able to see the big stars up close, but luckily I brought my camera with me. ”
The short-haired roommate said excitedly.
There were already some spectators seated at the scene, and they were in the back of the seat. Therefore, when Chen Lingxi and the four of them walked all the way through everyone's positions and walked to the front row under their gaze, many people were taken aback.
"No, they can sit so far in the front. You must know that I still spent a lot of money to get my back seat. ”
So a young man dressed up in fancy clothes sighed.
He flew all the way from a provincial capital in the south with his girlfriend just to attend this party that was the envy of everyone around him.
Unexpectedly, I saw a scene that made me depressed, and when I arrived in the capital, I realized that there was a huge gap with others. I thought I was walking sideways in the local area, but when I came to the capital, I was only a passerby.
"The capital is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, these girls must not be simple, I don't know which leader's daughter. ”
Another middle-aged man with a little discernment said to his companion.
"Whoever it is, I know to stay away from them anyway, and I can't afford to hide. ”
The companion replied with a smile after one look.
"Who are they from? They can get tickets for such a central location, as far as I know, the VIP tickets in that position are all resources held by the core people, and only when they go to the scene will they know where they are sitting. ”
A celebrity who was in the big and small circles of the capital asked her best friend next to her in such a low voice.
"I can't see it, it's all dressed up as students, and one of the little girls looks pretty good, I don't know whose resources it is?"
The girlfriend followed for a while and said helplessly.
......
Chen Lingxi didn't know that as soon as the four of them left at will, they attracted so much attention from the scene. People don't see them themselves, but the power behind the VIP tickets.
There was still an hour and a half before the opening of the party, Chen Lingxi sat for a while and felt a little cold in his neck, and the evening breeze was cold. She opened her backpack and took out the shawl, and draped it over her shoulders, and it was much warmer.
Seeing this, the other three roommates also draped the coats they brought over their bodies to resist the invasion of the cool breeze.
"Uhh ”
Chen Lingxi and the others were sitting in the middle of the front area, and the celebrity who spoke just now accidentally saw the shawl she was draping on her body, and said thoughtfully.
You must know that for fashion products, this celebrity is a well-known expert in Beijing, and the things that can enter her eyes must not be ordinary.
"It can't be it, is it?"
The celebrity suddenly remembered where she had seen it.
In order to find out, she decided to take a closer look to see if she was validating her judgment.
"Little sister, your shawl is so beautiful! Where did you buy it?"
Chen Lingxi was chatting with his roommates, first smelling a faint fragrance behind him, and then he heard someone ask him.
When I looked back, it turned out to be a fashionably dressed woman in her 30s who was smiling at her.
"It was a gift that her father bought for her in India, and I thought it was very beautiful. ”
didn't wait for Chen Lingxi to answer, but Fang Yiyi preemptively announced the answer.
"No wonder, I just said that it is rare to see such a beautiful shawl in China. If you don't mind, can I touch it? I'm going to travel to India in a while, and I want to buy a shawl to check it out. ”
Celebrities can be like fish in water in all circles, and with her outstanding communication skills, she soon won the trust of the girls in front of her.
As soon as she got started, the celebrity knew that it was not ordinary, she deliberately looked at the bottom of the shawl, and sure enough, she found an impressive signature. There is no doubt that this shawl from India is the result of an unrivaled master craftsman she has ever seen.
At a shopping mall in Mumbai, she was invited to see an exhibition of shawls, which were locked in a display case and could only be viewed through glass and not touched by hand.
It is said that money cannot be bought, but depends on your status. At that time, she wanted to pay for it, but she didn't expect to be rejected by the Indian staff, saying that such a treasure of pressing the box was only sold to distinguished guests.
"Such a good shawl can be bought for only a few hundred dollars, and Indian things are really cheap and beautiful. ”
Fang Yiyi saw the admiring look in the other party's eyes and continued to introduce.
Hundreds!
The celebrity knew that this was absolutely impossible when she heard it, and when she saw the price of this shawl, she hesitated for a long time before she mustered up the courage to buy it. I didn't expect to see this magical cloak in China today, and it was still owned by a young girl who didn't know its value. It seems that the other party is not small, and the father who can make such a move is not a character who can offend himself.
"Your dad is so nice to you, treat it well, it's a gift with special significance. I hope I can have such a beautiful shawl in the future. ”
If you don't know it, celebrities in the capital circle know that this is the practice of smart people. Many people just die talking too much and can't hide their secrets. Since the other party's father is unwilling to tell the truth, he naturally knows what to do.
After seeing the fashion lady leave, Fang Yiyi said to Chen Lingxi again.
"Next time your dad goes to India, remember to bring me a shawl back, and I'll give you the money back then." ”
