Chapter 124
This year's Spring Festival Gala has a total of 39 programs. Chen Mo's "Sword Dance" is scheduled for the eleventh one, and the time of appearance is about half past nine in the evening.
So when the accompaniment of the opening dance sounded, and the four Spring Festival Gala hosts walked onto the stage to sing and dance with flowers, praising the past and looking forward to the future, when the backstage staff and performers were already in a mess, Chen Mo was still watching TV leisurely in the dressing room.
Then, under the background sound of the Spring Festival Gala, dial the phone of the Mu family's old house, and pay New Year's greetings to the old man Mu, Mrs. Mu, and the elders and juniors of the other rooms of the Mu family.
There was a lot of noise on the phone, except for the greetings of Old Man Mu and Old Lady Mu greeting Chen's father and Chen's mother for a good New Year, and asking Chen Mo not to be too tired, he could vaguely distinguish the little nephew in the second room who was shouting for New Year's money, and Mu Yu's younger sister Mu You and Mu Tong said that they would come to the family tomorrow to set off fireworks together.
Chen Mo's heart warmed when he heard this, and he agreed: "I'll go over early tomorrow morning." β
Mrs. Mu suddenly sent a message to invite Chen's father and Chen's mother to come over. ββ¦β¦ We are all a family, so we don't have to talk about those false courtesies. β
Everyone in the Mu family knows that the Chen family is scarce, and in previous years, it was a family of three. This year, Chen Mo came to the Mu family to visit him again, but he was afraid that Chen's father and Chen's mother would be more and more lonely.
It's better to make one for two, so as not to worry about each other.
Chen Mo also knew Old Lady Mu's kindness, so he pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "...... I'll talk to my parents. I'm afraid of disturbing it. β
"Don't bother, don't bother, the New Year is a popular one. The more people there are, the more lively it becomes, and the food is sweeter than usual. Mrs. Mu said with a smile and told Chen Mo not to forget. asked Chen Mo when he would be on stage, "Our whole family is guarding the TV, and we are going to start voting when you come out, everyone will choose you for the best program of this year's Spring Festival Gala, and you must support your own family......"
Then the phone was snatched away by the little brother Mu You who was standing on the side. reminded Chen Mo, "Don't forget the update of "Food Color", we are still waiting to see the follow-up!" β
I don't know who the "we" in Mu You's mouth is. Chen Mowan smiled, so he had to say, "I haven't had time recently, and I've asked for leave." From the first to the fifteenth day of the new year, there was no update. β
Mu You howled miserably on the phone, and Yan protested against Chen Mo's immoral behavior for half a month. also quoted classics to criticize Chen Mo, trying to arouse Chen Mo's guilt and update it quickly. Just as he was chattering about Chen Mo, the phone was snatched away by Mu Tong again, followed by the little nephew and little niece in the second room......
It wasn't until around 9:20 in the evening that the staff came to inform Chen Mo that he was ready to go on stage, and Chen Mo had a chance to hang up the phone.
At that time, the phone was already hot.
Chen Mo exhaled lightly and threw the phone to Xiao Ding. Walk to the backstage lift and stand up.
Chen Mo's performance program is "Sword Dance", which is a complete version of Han Yan's sword dance in "The Young Son of Heaven of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".
The birds and cicadas are singing melodiously, and on the stage with 3D effect created with heavy money, the bamboo forest is dripping green and lush. An appearance is wrapped into a bamboo-shaped lifting platform descending from the sky, Chen Mo is dressed in white with wide sleeves, long hair like ink, holding a three-foot Qingfeng, although it is a sword dance, it is a combination of rigidity and softness, fluttering like a fairy. There is not a trace of fireworks.
The posture of dancing like a dragon is really amazing.
At the end of the song, everyone woke up from the dreamlike realm. Chen Mo was unexpectedly dragged by the two Spring Festival Gala hosts to greet him, and by the way, he played a wave of publicity for the upcoming "Sharp Knife Troops" and "Little Jingzhen".
When he got off the stage, he bumped into a certain familiar face of the Spring Festival Gala who was about to perform on stage, and he was one of the few people who came over to pull the bias just now.
When the man saw Chen Mo, he had an embarrassed expression on his face, and when he was about to say something, Chen Mo had already passed by him, and he didn't even pause.
The man probably didn't expect Chen Mo to react like this, and immediately showed a shocked expression, and turned his head to look at Chen Mo's back.
Back in the backstage dressing room, Yang Qindong praised Chen Mo for his very good performance with a smile, and several makeup artists came up to remove Chen Mo's makeup. I saw Xiao Ding walking up to him with the phone and whispering, "Auntie called." β
Chen Mo took the phone with some suspicion, and listened to Chen's mother Zhang Luo to go home. said that the program of the Spring Festival Gala was watched in the afternoon, and it was not interesting to stay here. It's better to go home, take a shower, watch TV, and wait until twelve o'clock to eat a bite of hot dumplings.
That's too far-fetched, isn't it?
Chen Mo frowned, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you want to be on TV?" We've already said hello to our relatives, let's retreat halfway, isn't it? β
"What's so bad." Chen's mother said: "They have already seen you on TV. Besides, you've been tossing all day, so let's go home. Feel at home. If you want to be crooked, you can be crooked, and if you want to lie down, you can lie down. "No one thinks it affects the image or anything.
Chen Mo smiled slightly, knowing that Chen's father and Chen's mother were distressing themselves. I hoped I could go home early to rest, so I had to say, "I'm not tired yet." Besides, I finally had the opportunity, and it was good to watch the Spring Festival Gala on the spot-"
"You're not tired, and your dad and I are tired. This old bone is tossed for such a big day, and we can't stand it anymore. I want to go home and lie down. β
Chen's mother was very firm. Chen Mo was not allowed to persuade again, and said directly: "Your father and I have already come out." I'm going to look for you backstage. β
Seeing this, Chen Mo didn't say more. After putting down the phone, he said to Xiao Ding, "You can leave now." I greeted my uncle and aunt for the New Year, and I said that I was so embarrassed to detain their baby son to work overtime during the Chinese New Year. β
He asked Yang Qindong again: "Will you go back to my house tonight?" Or go straight to the airport? β
Yang Qindong was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and the voice of a woman raising her voice to reprimand. Chen Mo frowned, and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?" β
Without being instructed by others, Xiao Ding had already opened the door and went out. After a while, he didn't come back, but the sound of the dispute outside was getting louder and louder, and Xiao Ding's voice could be faintly heard.
Xiao Ding, if he doesn't have a special situation, he will never speak loudly. At this time, even Yang Qindong couldn't sit still, got up and said, "I'll go out and have a look." β
Chen Mo's makeup was also removed, and he changed his clothes and walked out of the dressing room. I saw Yang Qindong and Xiao Ding standing at the door of the backstage, protecting Chen's father and Chen's mother behind them, and confronting Ou Lan.
Chen's father and Chen's mother, who have always been smiling and welcoming, looked ashamed and angry, and their faces were flushed, and even Yang Qindong, who had always been moody, was full of indignation. The backstage staff and actors were some gloating bystanders, some frowning and silent. Seeing Chen Mo coming, everyone's expressions were even more weird.
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows quietly, walked to Chen's father and Chen's mother, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" β
Without waiting for Chen's father and mother to speak, Ou Lan had already sneered, and said in a strange manner: "Chen Mo, you came just in time, I just wanted to ask, why can't the current people figure out the situation one or two." Our national station has strict rules and regulations and confidentiality procedures, and many workplaces do not allow idle people to enter and leave at will. This is especially true backstage of the Spring Festival Gala. Even if your parents are not the performers of our program group, they should respect our rules and regulations, right? You can't just rely on the fact that you have an in-law from a wealthy family, and you have to cause trouble for others, right? β
Chen's mother, who has always been very thin-faced, almost burst into tears when she was told about it, and hurriedly said, "I don't want to trouble anyone, let's go-"
"Wait a minute!" Chen Mo frowned and interrupted Chen's mother's words, and raised his eyebrows and asked Ou Lan. "What do you mean?"
Ou Lan was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips with more and more disdain, and said deliberately: "I don't mean anything, that is, not all cats and dogs can enter the backstage of our Spring Festival Gala casually." β
Now that he has torn his face, Oran has no scruples. finally caught a handle of Chen Mo, she was happy that the other party didn't give up, and she had to humiliate Chen Mo in front of everyone. can be regarded as angry with his husband and son.
Chen Mo looked at Ou Lan's raised eyebrows and asked, "Who are the cats and dogs talking about?" β
Ou Lan didn't expect Chen Mo to ask such a question, so he laughed more and more disdainfully, and blurted out: "It's your parents who are talking about it." Don't thinkβ"
Before he finished speaking, he only heard Xiao Ding deliberately burst out laughing. Chen Mo also nodded solemnly and said, "It seems that you are quite self-aware!" β
Orlan was a little baffled. However, she was not really stupid, as soon as she heard Chen Mo's words, she immediately reacted. Ou Lan was annoyed and angry at the moment, he didn't expect Chen Mo to actually play this kind of vulgar and boring language trap trick that only children can use in a fight.
But no matter how crude the trap is, as long as you get hit, you still have no face. Especially in front of so many people, Ou Lan snorted coldly and said, "In short, this is not the place you should come to, I hope you have a little self-knowledge." β
The last four words came out, and Xiao Ding laughed again. It made Ou Lan feel more and more faceless, and he waved his hand to pick people up.
Chen Mo has never had the habit of escaping from the battle, let alone being driven away in such a gloomy way.
He glanced leisurely at Ou Lan, who was putting on a businesslike expression, and motioned for Xiao Ding to hand him the phone.
Then Chen Mo made a phone call in front of Ou Lan and so many people in the backstage.
"Is it Minister Fang?"
Fang Fang, the head of the Propaganda Department who was watching the Spring Festival Gala at home and accompanied his daughter-in-law to make dumplings, frowned a little suspiciously.
"It's Xiaomo, I watched your performance at the Spring Festival Gala, it's very good......" Minister Fang greeted him again, and asked with a smile: "How is the New Year?" On the first day of the new year, we have to bother you to help us run the publicity, and we can't guard our parents at home-"
Chen Mo didn't wait for Minister Fang to finish speaking, and complained straight to the point: "It's not good!" I'm suffocated. This is not to publicize the Spring Festival Gala, I think that my parents have never been to the Spring Festival Gala in their lives, and as Minister Fang said, my parents are not far away, not to mention that I can't stay by my parents' side for the New Year. I didn't want to go. I discussed it with the Spring Festival Gala program team, and the result was ......"
Chen Mo complained to Oulan's top boss about Oulan's bad behavior in front of Oulan and all the backstage actors. even told him why he and Liu Hao were fighting, but in order to help his son, Ou Lan deliberately spread rumors and smeared him by the media.
At the end, Chen Mo concluded: "...... Fortunately, my assistant was clever and knew how to keep first-hand evidence at critical moments. Otherwise, I really can't argue tonight, I'm afraid our "Spearhead Troops" will also be postponed. β
There was an extramarital affair scandal between Hua Aijiang and Zhang Chu first, and Minister Fang certainly understood the hidden dangers. His face immediately darkened.
Chen Mo said deliberately: "I also want to take my parents to visit the national station." Unexpectedly, Director Ou had to insist that cats and dogs were not allowed to enter the backstage of the national station. Look at Minister Fang, my parents are so old, and they have been insulted so much that they are not even worthy of being human. Not to mention anything else, as the mouthpiece department of the imperial court, Director Ou's attitude towards ordinary people really chills me. As a child, I dare not affect the normal work of Director Ou. But since he is a son of man, how can he let his parents be humiliated for no reason because of me? So I can only call you, can you be accommodating and help me intercede with Director Ou. Let her take my parents for a walk around the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala? β
As soon as Chen Mo's words came out, Ou Lan's face immediately turned pale. Even the other actors in the backstage also changed their expressions. Everyone knew that if Chen Mo's plan succeeded, then Ou Lan's face would be swollen -
One second he scolded people for being a cat and a dog, and the next second he had to accompany people to visit the backstage as a tour guide with a smile.
Ou Lan didn't know Chen Mo's plans.
She stared at Chen Mo's mobile phone with a worried expression, as if she could stare at flowers.
Chen Mo looked at Ou Lan like a spark, handed the mobile phone to Ou Lan with a smile, and said, "Minister Fang wants to talk to you!" β
Oulan's face sank like water, and he didn't move.
Chen Mo opened his mouth and said, "Why don't I talk to Minister Fang and say that you don't want to answer his call?" β
Before the words fell, Ou Lan had already glared at Chen Mo viciously, and took Chen Mo's mobile phone slowly.
As a matter of course, he was scolded by Minister Fang. As the head of the Propaganda Department, Minister Fang certainly knows the importance of public opinion. No matter what the considerations, Oulan's private use of public weapons and revenge for personal gain are not considered, and Yan Zhan'ng said that Oulan's actions are dereliction of duty.
If this scene really spreads today, not to mention the publicity problem of "It's a Pioneer Unit", even the image of the national station will be greatly negatively affected. Not to mention that this also implicates the face of the Mu family?
In all dynasties, there will be irreconcilable contradictions between those who have burst into new glory and the old families. The outbreaks always want to catch up from behind, and they look down on the old seniority everywhere. But I don't know why the family is called a family, whether there is money or not, it is secondary, and the well-connected children and grandchildren are the foundation of the family's development and continuation.
The Liu family, an upstart, didn't know the details, and thought that he could overwhelm the Mu family by grabbing two more bids in the project. In the past two years, he has lost the prudence and humility he had when he first came to the capital, and his actions have become more and more public. But I don't know that if people really want to calculate him, it's just a matter of a little more effort.
The minister's reprimand on the phone became more and more severe, so that Oulan had to apologize to Chen's father and mother for his attitude, and asked Oulan to write an inspection and review it at the conference when the meeting was held after the year......
Oulan held the phone and reluctantly agreed. finally waited until Minister Fang hung up the phone. Ou Lan's face turned pale and looked at Chen Mo for a while, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't wait to dig a pit and jump into it immediately.
Chen Mo looked at Ou Lan with a smile and asked knowingly, "What did Minister Fang say?" β
Oran's face became more and more ugly. Her lips moved, and in the end, she couldn't pull her face to apologize to Chen's father and Chen's mother, so she had to return the phone to Chen Mo with a blushing face. Without saying a word, he turned his head and left.
Xiao Dingyan stood at the door of the backstage quickly and blocked the road. Chen Mo smiled and asked again: "Director Ou, you haven't given me an answer yet, what did Minister Fang say?" β
Ou Lan suddenly turned around and said indignantly: "Chen Mo, don't go too far!" β
"Why don't you feel like you're going too far when you're looking for someone to smear me and frame me? Why don't you feel like you're too much when you can't get my parents off the stage in front of so many people? Chen Mo smiled with a spring breeze, leaned over to Oulan's side, and whispered: "I'm shameless, and I still want me to give you face." Why? β
If the murderous aura can be turned into substance, Oulan's eye knife glaring at Chen Mo will definitely be able to Ling Chi.
It's a pity that Chen Mo doesn't care. He looked directly into Oulan's eyes and said, "Apologize to my parents." β
Oulan sneered, turned around and left. When he made a mistake with Xiao Ding, Ou Lan deliberately bumped Xiao Ding's shoulder. Xiao Ding straightened up and didn't move. One of the Orans who hit the person didn't stop, but stumbled.
The pace of leaving in high heels became more and more hasty. The sound of uncoordinated footsteps. There is an embarrassment of running away.
The matter has come to this point, how can these actors in the background not understand. At the moment, they tacitly glanced at each other. Chen Mo, who was originally respected, suddenly found that he was surrounded by people, all of whom were paying New Year's greetings to the three members of the Chen family.
Talking and laughing is extremely enthusiastic, it is like two people.
Zhang Mingzhi, who had been staring at the process of the program in front, heard the news from the backstage, threw the work in his hand to the deputy and hurried back. He looked at Chen's father and Chen's mother with guilt, and said, "It's me who didn't think it well and made your second elder feel wronged." So, how about I accompany the second elder to go around in the background? β
Zhang Mingzhi made it clear that he wanted to support Chen Mo and correct the name of Chen's father and mother.
When Dad Chen heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How good is this." Director Zhang is busy enough, so we can't make trouble here. This is home. β
Chen's mother also agreed: "Yes, the old man is right, you are all so busy, we can't be without eyesight." β
After a pause, he still couldn't hold back the grievances in his heart, and said carefully: "Actually, we didn't want to enter the backstage just now, knowing that you were all busy, we just waited outside the door." Then the chief came over and asked us what we were doing. We said wait for our son......"
"Alright, don't say it." Dad Chen is a kind person in the end, since everything has been clarified and his face has been earned, he is not ready to pursue it anymore. waved his hand at Zhang Mingzhi at the moment and said, "Then we'll go back." β
"Don't. No matter how busy you are, you have to complete the tasks assigned by your superiors! Zhang Mingzhi punned, "Besides, I had time to sit down for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at that time, why didn't I even have time to go around the backstage at this time?" β
It's easy to say, but I still took Chen's father and Chen's mother to hurriedly go around in the background. smiled and quipped to Chen Mo: "You are also very powerful, you can still invite our Minister Fang." It's really an official university that crushes people to death! β
Chen Mo also smiled and said, "There's no way." My strength is not good, and I can't even protect my parents, so I have to hug my thighs. Luckily, I know more thighs......"
Zhang Mingzhi also laughed with him, and said with a smile intentionally or unintentionally: "When everyone comes out to do things, what they pay attention to is a connection." Who hasn't hugged their thighs, and who hasn't hugged their thighs? With my brother's qualifications, I think I will work hard for a few more years, and I will become a thigh. When the time comes, don't forget to stretch out a hug for my brother? β
Chen Mo heard Zhang Mingzhi use the common saying "Who doesn't talk about people behind their backs, who doesn't talk about people behind their backs", and burst out laughing.
Even Chen's father and Chen's mother, who were very disappointed by Oulan, couldn't help but smile.
After returning home that night, he also sighed to Chen Mo that Zhang Mingzhi was a good person.
The next morning is the second day of the Lunar New Year. Chen Mo was interrupted by Oulan's matter last night, and he forgot to mention to Chen's father and Chen's mother that Mrs. Mu invited the three members of the Chen family to Mu's house for the New Year.
Fortunately, it's not too late to wait until morning.
Chen's father and Chen's mother are very tempted, but they still feel inconvenient in private. For fear of disturbing the family reunion.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "The old lady said, we are all a family, and there is no need to go outside." What's more, I went to the Mu family for the New Year, leaving only the two of you at home, and I don't feel at ease. β
Chen's father and Chen's mother were also reluctant to part with their baby son, and said, "That's not good." For the Chinese New Year, the two of us came to the door, and we didn't prepare the New Year's goods-"
"Didn't you buy it a long time ago?"
"That's for you. Now plus me and your dad, still carrying those things, how embarrassing? β
Adding a pair of chopsticks and adding three pairs of chopsticks is not the same.
The Mu family was originally strong by the Chen family, and Chen's father and mother were afraid of their son's image in the Mu family, and they paid attention to every move, for fear that if they didn't pay attention, they would be misunderstood that they wanted to take advantage of the Mu family, and their son would not be a good person at that time.
This kind of conscientious mentality, everyone in the Mu family is also slightly aware. Although I feel that Chen's father and Chen's mother think too much, and I am glad that the Chen family is really upright, no wonder they can raise such a good son as Chen Mo. Therefore, they are more willing to strengthen their exchanges.
Chen Mo also knew the thoughts of the Mu family, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry." Mu Yu and I are ready. β
