Time flies like water, and in the blink of an eye, it's another year. Unconsciously it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was 2016, but Lu Lin was still alone at home for Chinese New Year's Eve.

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala program team invited him to attend, but Lu Lin refused because he was too busy with work, which disappointed the fans who were looking forward to seeing him at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala again.

With the great enrichment of entertainment content and methods, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which has a lot of restrictions, is becoming more and more unattractive. For celebrities, the Spring Festival Gala no longer brings a huge increase in popularity as in the past, it is just a recognition from CCTV.

But once it's on, it takes a lot of time to rehearse, which is quite unaffordable for Lu Lin.

What's more, the review of the Spring Festival Gala is strict, and it is not uncommon for many programs to be killed when they are rehearsed for a long time, and it generally does not cause much turmoil.

But 16 years is the Year of the Monkey, and a few days ago, a "Chapter Monkey King Program was Killed" topped the hot search, which immediately aroused great attention from netizens.

After hearing that the "Chapter Monkey King" CCTV Spring Festival Gala program was killed, many netizens went to the Weibo of CCTV Spring Festival Gala director Lu Yitao to scold, and a recently updated Weibo message exceeded one million, almost all of them were upset for the "Chapter Monkey King", and Director Lu scolded him completely.

Then news came out, not that the show was killed, but that it was not invited at all. At the same time, Zhang Monkey King replied, if the Spring Festival Gala needs me, it is my duty.

All this really aroused the raging indignation of netizens, some people said that the "Chapter Monkey King" is so old, I am afraid that I may not be able to go on stage in the next Year of the Monkey, and then called for "helping Brother Monkey go to the Spring Festival Gala". For a while, it sparked a big discussion on the whole network, and the topic was not weaker than the "Spring Festival Gala".

Even in Lu Lin's Weibo, many netizens left messages, saying that he had filmed "The Return of the Great Sage", and the Monkey King had won the premiere of "The Return of the Great Sage", and Lu Lin should stand up to support the Monkey King. Lu Lin basically turned a blind eye to this kind of remarks.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the Fengtian Spring Festival Gala was broadcast, and the 3D holographic projection program of "Chapter Monkey King" and "Golden Monkey Spring" can be described as a full house, making the popularity of Chapter Monkey King reach its peak.

Who would have thought that in less than two years, this person would collapse and be "criticized"!

It is very good to verify the sentence, "Its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden!"

So for these "news", Lu Lin just looked at it casually, and even Jing Yan discussed with him, and when he was unhappy for the "Chapter Monkey King", he also had a match or not!

"Hey, don't you want to listen to me say this?" Although Jing Yan reacted slowly, he was not stupid, and when he heard Lu Lin's absent-mindedness, he asked again: "Are you unhappy that I didn't accompany you today?" But I asked you to come with you for the New Year, and you didn't come!"

Lu Lin listened to her coquettish tone, and said with a smile: "I'm not unhappy, I've been spending the New Year alone for so many years, I'm used to it! When I get married in the future, we will definitely be together!"

"That's okay, don't worry, it's the New Year in a few hours! Tomorrow morning, I'll go to you after dinner, let's go watch Xingye's movie!"

Both of them are post-80s, regardless of their identities as actors and directors, the movies of Monkey King and Xing Ye are all common memories of growing up.

CCTV failed to see the "Chapter Monkey King" at the Spring Festival Gala, but the next day he had to support "Star Master" in "Mermaid".

After chatting for a few more words, I hung up the phone, flipped through the New Year's greeting information in WeChat, and picked the time to reply earlier. As for what was just sent, I turned a blind eye. The main thing is that he went back at this time, and the other party replied to him, feeling that there was nothing to talk about. After that, I answered two phone calls and went to bed before eleven o'clock.

Early the next morning, Lu Lin got up early to heat up the leftovers from last night, and the breakfast on the first day of the new year was settled.

went out at nine o'clock in the morning, first drove to pick up Jing Yan, and then the two of them casually found a theater and found that it was crowded.

In the 16th Spring Festival, the films with selling points are "Mermaid", "Monkey King: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" and "Macau Fengyun 3".

Among them, "Monkey King: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" and "Macau Fengyun 3" are both bad movies, the former has a problematic theme, and the latter is a family movie with a lot of money.

In contrast, "The Mermaid", which is not particularly good, has the highest reputation and quality, which can be said to be all set off by peers. Coupled with the emotional marketing of "owing the star a movie ticket", "The Mermaid" exploded with amazing box office potential.

During the movie, Lu Lin didn't feel much, after all, he had watched it more than once, and the special effects were not particularly shocking.

And Miss Jing Yan was more immersed in the "touching" love atmosphere, wiping her tears and saying: "It's so touching, it's good that the white snake we photographed at that time can be so touching!"

Lu Lin said in his heart: "Eldest sister, it's not like this at all!"

And when the film ended and the audience ended together, I saw Li Mi, the beautiful host of "China Film Report", interviewing passers-by who watched the movie with the photographer.

A photography assistant saw Lu Lin and Jing Yan wearing hats and masks in the crowd, guessed their identities because of many cooperations, and whispered to Li Mi: "Sister Li, it seems that it is Lu Dao and Jing Yan who came out over there!"

Li Mi's eyes lit up when he heard this, interviewing ordinary viewers and interviewing Lu Lin brought about the broadcast effect, it was a world of difference!

Hand the microphone to the assistant next to him, and said to the people around: "Don't come with me first, I'll go over and talk first!"

also knew that suddenly calling out the identities of Lu Lin and Jing Yan would cause a lot of commotion, so he decided to say hello first.

Jing Yan was still immersed in the plot, and said with emotion: "Liu Xuan and Shanshan are together in the end, it's really good!"

But I heard Lu Lin say: "A friend is here!" Jing Yan raised his head in surprise and saw Li Mi walking over.

"Those two, can you interview them?" he said, blinking his eyes twice.

"Cheng, then let's change places!"

Li Mi was excited when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "We'll arrange it here!"

The group came to a tea room near the theater and asked for a private room, and Lu Lin and Jing Yan also took off their hats and masks.

Li Mi couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and even said a lot of New Year's greetings before asking: "Director Lu and Miss Jing Xiang, the movie I went to see just now!"

"Mermaid!" Jing Yan said first.

Li Mi saw Lu Lin's flat expression, so he asked Jing Yan, "What does Miss Jing Yan think of this movie?"

"It's very beautiful, especially the love in it, it's quite touching!"

"Oh, I remember that Miss Jing Yu starred in "Macau Vice", why didn't she watch the sequel this time?" Li Mi asked a question that was not easy to answer.

The young lady smiled and said, "He said he likes the movie directed by Zhou Xingxing, so let's watch this first!" But he put the pot on Lu Lin's head.

Li Mi took the opportunity to ask Lu Lin: "Director Lu, if you talk about special effects movies, your works have always been the top level in China, and the box office is unmatched." And for this "Mermaid", what do you think of the special effects, and how high will the box office be!"
