Chapter 87: Chinese New Year's Eve
In the hall of the office building of the Jiangcheng Music Association, a red carpet stretches out, on the steps at the end of the carpet, there is a man and a woman, the man is Jiang Li in a casual suit, after passing through the capital, he is more confident and calm, calm, next to him is Ye Chen in a white silk evening dress, sweet face and tall figure, and this careful dress, undoubtedly makes her the most beautiful scenery at this award ceremony.
Chen Shimei, general manager of Little Bird Company, served as the host of the award ceremony, which was also eye-catching, with a towering nose bridge, deep eye sockets, but a head of black hair, at a glance, he knew that he was a mixed race between the East and the West, and the most amazing thing was the appearance of the other party, as handsome as a sculpture, charming blue eyes, sexy lips, and many female guests present were fascinated, and even men couldn't help but take a few more looks.
At this time, the "obscene" fat man who has been active by Chen Shimei's side is particularly eye-catching, and I don't know how many times he has been killed by his eyes.
Mayor Zhou of Jiangcheng City made a short opening speech, announcing the official start of the award ceremony, and the band played solemn and passionate music.
Starting from the tenth place, the winners stepped forward in turn, walked along the red carpet to Jiang Li and Ye Chen, and the two of them jointly presented the award certificates, and other awards will not be distributed at the award ceremony.
Stimulated by such a grand and warm atmosphere, each winner was full of light and felt a great honor, originally they thought that it was nothing to participate in a competition held by a small and unknown company, but now, they are very glad to have made the choice to participate and stand in this place!
"Now I invite Jiang Li Ye Chen's fifth place in the MV Creation Competition, the representative of Liu Yueyu's band, Liu Yueyu, to come forward to accept the award!" Chen Shimei said loudly.
A woman in a pink dress walked on the red carpet under the fiery gaze of two men, and walked towards Jiang Li and Ye Chen, she was Liu Yueyu, with a happy smile on her round face.
Chen Shimei continued: "The Liu Yueyu Band is composed of lead singer Liu Yueyu, guitarist Dong Jianhao and keyboardist Li Chun, and their joint interpretation of "June Rain" is refreshing. ”
"Xiexie, you took me back to the first memory. Jiang Li smiled gently.
Liu Yueyu was so excited that she didn't know how to speak, so she could only thank her vigorously, took the award certificate, and took a group photo with the three of them.
Next, Xu Hengliang, who won the fourth place with the MV of "Don't Talk", Yu Bo, who won the third place with the MV of "Big City Little Love", and the "slim and elegant" group who won the second place with the MV of "Summer Blown by the Wind" stepped forward to accept the award in turn.
"zuihou, let's invite Jiang Li Ye Chen, the champion of the MV creation contest, Gao Lang, to come forward and accept the award!" Chen Shimei said in a higher voice than before, "Gao Lang perfectly interprets the meaning of "Match Heaven" with photos that record the figures of street children, as long as everyone gives a love, this shijie will be warmer." ”
Jiang Li and Gao Lang shook hands cordially, and Ye Chen said with a smile: "It turns out that the two of you have known each other for a long time. ”
The winners took a group photo with Jiang Li Ye Chen, and then Li Wanrong, president of the Jiangcheng Music Association, made a closing speech, and the award ceremony ended here, followed by the party time, they can exchange feelings with each other, and media reporters can also interview the winners, although the reporters wanted to interview Jiang Li and Ye Chen, but the two of them left early with foresight, and the rest of the things were all handed over to Chen Shimei, the general manager of Little Bird, and Yue Yanming, the vice president of Flying Bird.
As early as after the end of Jiang Liye Chen's MV creation contest, Chen Shimei and Yue Yanming began to contact the winners to discuss cooperation, and today, everything has been negotiated, and the party scene has directly become the signing site, just everyone present can be a witness, Chen Shimei signed on behalf of Little Bird to sign the aftermath of animation production and stage performance Xu Hengliang, and two other winners who are interested in joining Little Bird Company, Yue Yanming signed Liu Yueyu Band and "Slim Yuli" group and the rest of the winners on behalf of Flying Bird Records, except for Gao Lang.
The media reporter was puzzled, how could it be possible to sign everyone but miss the championship? Liu Qianqian asked this question on behalf of the "Su Provincial Daily", only to hear Gao Lang smile and say: "Actually, I really want to stay, but because of my temperament, I am not suitable to be tied to a certain place, after tonight, I will continue to wander, use my camera, to record those unknown facts, if one day I am tired, I will definitely come back, because of that person." ”
"The secret that Gao Lang and that man had to say. ”
Song Jingsi used this title to hype in the "Silent Night Thoughts" newspaper the next day, and also exclusively disclosed that Gao Lang had gone to the capital to be responsible for the production of Jiang Li's new record zuihou a MV, "Silent Night Thoughts" sold more than 100,000 copies that day, becoming the best-selling newspaper in Jiangcheng.
Jiang Li acquiesced to this kind of behavior, otherwise how could he reveal to the other party that Gao Lang had gone to the capital, Song Jingsi proved his vision and means with facts, so he added 600,000 investments, and the assets of the "Silent Night Thoughts" newspaper reached 1 million, with five employees, Song Jingsi couldn't help but laugh, so he was a little closer to the target Liu Yachang.
That night, Jiang Li released a message through the music network account that already has millions of fans, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, an hour before the start of the Spring Festival Gala, I will broadcast a very new song with a very year's flavor live on Little Bird Network and Aiyu.com, and give everyone New Year's greetings, so stay tuned." ”
The crowd was in an uproar, and here it is again, and the fastest singing speed in Jiang Li's history has been verified again!
No matter how the outside world speculates and discusses, Jiang Li started to prepare a new song anyway, and the accompaniment of the new song is mainly a national musical instrument such as suona, that is, a trumpet, which is widely used in various activities such as folk weddings, funerals, ceremonies, music ceremonies, etc., but Shu Yutong is not very familiar with it, and Jiang Li is the same, so he had to consult Li Wanrong, and Li Wanrong directly brought a national band to Jiang Li to help him get accompaniment.
Chinese New Year's Eve came soon, this year's New Year is particularly lively, because Jiang Mushui Mengying took over the old people on both sides, Jiang Mu's father is Jiang Li's grandfather Jiang Hongdao, the name comes from Confucius's "Analects" "people can promote the Tao, not Taoist people", over sixty years old, spirited, full of poetry and books, but unfortunately widowed in the early years, so that Jiang Li has no grandmother, Jiang Hongdao currently lives in a small town next to the city, as for Jiang Li's grandparents are still alive, this time specially from Yangzhou City, three families and three generations gathered together.
In addition, Jiang Li also asked Shu Yutong to come to celebrate the New Year together, originally she was unwilling, but Shui Mengying Zuihou personally came to invite, so she couldn't refuse at all.
With so many people gathered together, the two-bedroom room was extremely crowded, so that Shui Mengying wondered if it was time to buy a big house, but after all, it was a little reluctant to leave this place, and the older a person gets, the easier it is to miss the old.
Let go of the firecrackers, you have to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Chinese New Year's Eve rice is also called reunion dinner, metaphorically reunion, is the annual family banquet that Chinese people attach great importance to.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is particularly rich, first of all, braised carp, this dish is generally not eaten and kept as a mascot, meaning "there is more than (fish) every year", followed by fried egg dumplings, four happiness balls, braised pork ribs, braised prawns, braised chicken with garlic, leeks and three fresh, stir-fried pea seedlings, shiitake mushroom roasted cabbage heart and other more than a dozen delicacies, as well as wild mountain mushroom stewed chicken soup and pork bone soup, carefully cooked and prepared by Shui Mengying, the color and flavor are all mouth-watering.
Looking at this scene, Shu Yutong bit her lower lip silently, for her, this kind of family reunion banquet is really an incomparable luxury, this guy, do you want me to be envious and jealous?
"Yutong, you just treat this as your own home, what you want to eat, you're welcome. Shui Mengying shouted eagerly, because they were familiar with each other, Jiang Li's family now directly called Shu Yutong by his name.
"Got it, Auntie, xiexie. Shu Yutong whispered.
"Thanks, silly boy. Shui Mengying said with a smile, since she learned that Shu Yutong lived alone, she couldn't help but feel overflowing with motherhood, and she completely understood the other party's cold nature.
Jiang Li's grandparents exchanged their heads and ears, glancing at Jiang Li and Shu Yutong from time to time, the two sat together, and looked at the past, quite like a newlywed.
"Old woman, don't talk nonsense, this girl is five years older than Ah Li, and the most important thing is that she is still Ah Li's teacher, how can she become it?"
"You're just talking nonsense, what's the matter, aren't you only five years old, you're ten years older than me! As for the simpler identity, what kind of teacher is Ah Li when he graduates?"
Jiang Li's grandfather coughed twice in embarrassment, picked up a glass of wine and toasted his in-laws Jiang Hongdao next to him, diverting his attention.
The atmosphere at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very lively, the most lively was the ripples, respecting this and that, the mouth was very sweet, making the grandparents smile from ear to ear, even the always serious Jiang Hongdao couldn't help but smile.
When the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner came to an end, it was time for the Jiang family to routinely pack the money for the year, and Shui Mengying acted the fastest, sending red envelopes to the old people on both sides, Jiang Li, Jiang Shui Ripple and Shu Yutong respectively.
Then the old people on both sides gave red envelopes to the juniors, and they didn't forget Shu Yutong, not much money, but it was a heart, zuihou was Jiang Li's turn, originally he was generally just a recipient at his age, but since he had a career, it was okay to do so, after all, he was seventeen years old after the New Year, and he was only one step away from an eighteen-year-old adult.
Jiang Li prepared a red envelope for everyone present, for different reasons, filial piety to the elders, love for his sister and thanks to Shu Yutong for taking care of him in the past year, all of which are 9,999 yuan, which is a very auspicious number, which means that the world is forever and forever, and if the money is exchanged for roses, it is a true show of love.
Shu Yutong pinched the four red envelopes, stunned, stunned, cramped and uneasy, not knowing what to say, as if something crystal was rolling in his eyes.
She quickly came to her senses and hurriedly took out five red envelopes, which she had prepared for Jiang Li, Jiang Li's grandfather, Jiang Li's grandparents, Jiang Li's parents and Jiang Li's sister.
After the meal, Jiang Li's mother and grandmother were busy in the kitchen, and the grandfather and grandfather were talking to their father, Jiang Li and Shu Yutong didn't know what to do, and Ripple poured out all the money in the red envelope next to them, counting them happily, and their calves in white cotton socks were dangling.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
