Chapter 9 I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala
The identity of the "prodigy" was exposed, and the "business" of the Wu Tian sisters and brothers naturally couldn't continue. However, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month and the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the siblings continued to write the Spring Festival as they did a few days ago.
heard that the famous prodigy turned out to be the Wu Tian sister and brother, and the neighbors in the compound couldn't help but praise - they usually look inconspicuous, who knew that this sister and brother were so capable? Then I was jealous in my stomach - what kind of incense did the old Wu family burn, a pair of children, one more than six years old and the other less than ten years old, can actually help adults make money? Then they had to come to the door to ask for words - the prodigy couplets on the street sold at a high price, and they may not be able to queue up, but now they only need to come to the door with red paper, and they don't have to pay a penny, and they get the "prodigy couplets"!
Seeing that the neighbors came to the door one after another, one by one full of good words, praising her son and praising her daughter, Chu Yumei was in a high mood, and she had long lost the anger when she first heard her son and daughter "doing business illegally", and greeted her son and daughter with a smile and called her uncle and aunt, and then went to work neatly to write a few couplets, which was a face.
I only pity Wu Tian's children, this unprofitable, wasted work, is done weakly, and the time for identity exposure is already twenty-nine, and most of the people in the compound have already bought Spring Festival couplets, otherwise this coolie may have to do more.
It was easy to stay up until the afternoon of the thirties, and the hard work of writing couplets was finally done, Wu Jianguo finally took a vacation, and the two of them made dumplings at home, Wu Tian finally had time to call Jia Liang, and spent two cents to buy a box of small hanging whips - in view of the prodigy's son and prodigy daughter fighting for face for their mother, Chu Yumei rewarded each person with one dollar as pocket money and New Year's money last night.
Even if it was such a cheap little hanging whip, Jia Liang didn't agree with Wu Tian hanging it one by one, and insisted on dismantling it, one at a time, crackling and putting it for an afternoon, which made Wu Tian relive the feeling of childhood and New Year.
Shannan customs, every family's Chinese New Year's Eve meal is all dumplings, Wu Tian's family just ate dumplings, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, the deputy director of the library who lived in the upper room of the north house personally came to the door and invited Wu Jianguo's family to his home to watch TV.
Deputy Curator Liu is not usually so hospitable, and this is why he asked Wu Tian and his brothers to write three couplets yesterday to repay this favor.
Although Deputy Director Liu lives in the best upper room in the compound, it is not spacious, as soon as the TV is turned on, the small hall is crowded with people with a little face in the compound, and there are also high and low identities, some sit on the bench, and some can only stand against the wall and the door. As for the children, except for Deputy Director Liu's youngest son sitting on his mother's lap, only Wu Tian and Wu Yuan, the sisters and brothers, sat on a small bench in the front row, and the children in the other courtyards were blasted out by the adults as soon as they entered the house - the treatment of prodigies is naturally different!
However, the prodigy Wu Tian didn't necessarily feel good sitting anywhere - the room was small, there were many people, and almost all of them were big smoking guns, which made Wu Tian uncomfortable. If it weren't for the first Spring Festival Gala broadcast on TV, I'm afraid that the little prodigy would have slipped away a long time ago.
"Xiaotian, the TV is good, right?" Deputy Curator Liu asked Wu Tian as he took out a cigarette and distributed it to Wu Jianguo and Jia Chunshan beside him.
Wu Jianguo and Jia Chunshan are the deputy editors of the provincial newspaper and the deputy director of the printing house.
"So-so." Wu Tian casually responded to Deputy Director Liu's words, staring at the fourteen-inch small black and white TV without blinking - no way, a group of adults took turns to smoke and smoke, which was really a test of our willpower.
"Heh, it's not that it's good-looking, it's not that it's not good-looking, this kid has seen the door." Jia Chunshan said with a smile, "Little prodigy, then tell me, what's good and what's bad about this Spring Festival Gala?" ”
Wu Tiantou didn't reply and said: "There are too many bad places, so let's just say that the singers are all singing, and they say several in one breath, and they don't change people, why don't you sing a song and say a cross talk?" ”
To tell the truth, the first Spring Festival Gala in 83 can indeed only be regarded as average, not to mention the simplicity of the stage venue, the program arrangement is also full of hard injuries, songs and operas are piled up, cross talk one by one, Ma Ji, Zhao Yan, Jiang Kun, Li Wenhua are all three consecutive cross talks, and Li Guyi sang six songs in a row and did not get off the stage, and two more duets. It was the lack of entertainment programs at that time that made the people watch it with relish, so that the feeling was stunned more than 20 years later, and some people praised the first Spring Festival Gala as the most successful one.
As soon as Wu Tian said this, the adults in the room nodded in agreement, and the feeling of boredom that occasionally appeared in the evening finally found the reason - the little prodigy really deserves to be a little prodigy, and he got to the point at once.
For a while, the room was full of praise for the little prodigy, which provoked the parents to be busy with modest words. However, the corners of Chu Yumei's mouth were already crooked, and she was even more thinking about whether to wait for her to go home, and then give her son and daughter, who are very face-fighting, an extra dollar of New Year's money.
"What about the good place?" With a smile, Jia Chunshan couldn't help but ask again, and then waited very much for Wu Tian to give another prodigy-level answer.
Wu Tian said nonchalantly: "There is only a little bit of good place, no advertising!" ”
"No ads?" Jia Chunshan was stunned for a moment, and then everyone in the room laughed.
However, Wu Tian could also hear it, and everyone laughed disappreciably. In this year, the advertisements on TV are far from reaching the level of flooding in later generations, and even those advertisements are still very popular with the public, which is to introduce new products and high-quality products to everyone.
Wu Tian secretly pouted.
As an advertising person, Wu Tian knows very well how powerful the advertising of the Spring Festival Gala is, as the Guinness World Records certified "the world's largest number of viewers", the Spring Festival Gala has naturally become a sweet spot in the eyes of major manufacturers, and the price of the Spring Festival Gala advertising is naturally ridiculously high, the patch advertising before the start will cost tens of millions in a few seconds, and the naming right of the ten-second zero hour is half a billion, "My favorite Spring Festival Gala program" and its advertising title are as high as more than 100 million, as for the oral broadcast of congratulatory messages, camera close-ups of a certain boss, Means such as product placement soft advertising are endless, and even in the 10 years when the product placement situation was the most serious, it was ridiculed by the audience that advertisements were inserted in the Spring Festival Gala in the past, and the Spring Festival Gala was played in advertisements that year.
Wu Tian's children are not thinking about whether the Spring Festival Gala is good or not without advertisements, but thinking about what effect it will be to make an advertisement on the Spring Festival Gala while the national advertising awareness is not strong now?
It's sure to be an overnight success, no suspense!
Well, no matter what, we must go to the Spring Festival Gala next year!
