After worshipping their ancestors, the two men brought the food upstairs, and Lao Li fried two hot dishes. The two of them seem very lonely for the New Year, but they have long been used to it after so many years.

Li Tang opened a bottle of Moutai, and after pouring it, the first glass of wine solemnly saluted his father: "Abba, Happy New Year!" ”

"Well, Happy New Year!"

Father and son had a drink.

After the ceremony, the atmosphere is relaxed. Li Tang poured wine for his father and said, "Abba, what can you talk about with Aunt Xiao, why Chenguang is getting married?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, it will take two years after all, and I will talk about it after Xiao Xiao is admitted to university." Lao Li said.

Li Tang could hear that this was what Aunt Xiao meant, after all, the third year of high school was a critical moment, she didn't want her daughter to be distracted, and she would wait for her daughter to be admitted to college before thinking about her own affairs. This kind of thing is also reasonable, anyway, as long as his father is willing, Li Tang has no opinion.

Lao Li took a sip of wine, looked at his son and said, "Don't just talk about me, talk about yourself, what is the situation with a golden lock and a piano for a while?" ”

"It's nothing, they're all friends." Li Tang smiled, and naturally popped out a scumbag quote.

Lao Li was not happy when he heard it, and put it in the cup and said: "You talk about friends seriously, Abba won't care about you, but if you are foolish, beware of eating life!" ”

Li Tang looked at his father in surprise, he really couldn't understand how he had the courage to say the word "foolish", isn't what your old man did in the past called foolishness?

Lao Li was a little embarrassed by his son, and forced himself to calm down: "What do you want me to do?" You are different from my situation, you are a flat-headed ordinary person, as long as you don't break the law, you can do anything. You are different, you are now a member of the country, and you are going to talk about fame in this industry, your reputation is very bad, who is willing to look at you! ”

“……”

Li Tang had to admit that what his father said made sense.

To put it bluntly, the entertainment industry is a vanity fair, since it is a vanity fair, there is nothing that is not dirty, both at home and abroad. He has now witnessed a lot of "blind dirt" in China, not to mention that Xiao Teng guides them to get drunk and dream all day long, even if some artists are praised by the outside world, it is very common to break shoes and roll their heads.

In the memory of the original body, the previous folk customs were still relatively conservative, but in the past two years, it seems to have intensified, not to mention anything else, now the hair salons selling dog meat on the streets and alleys are opening more and more.

And this change in folk customs is especially obvious in the entertainment industry. Lao Li didn't know much about the situation, he just used his life experience to tell his son that reputation is very important. Lao Li may not be able to say new words like "public figure", but he thinks that people from the country and celebrities who show up should talk more about fame.

And Lao Li is indeed prescient, there is a good saying: don't look at the fun now, be careful to pull the list in the future. Li Tang knew that in more than ten years, the country would introduce the so-called measures to ban tainted artists, the purpose of which was to clean up the atmosphere of the entertainment industry.

Of course, this kind of move has become one of the so-called "undemocratic and unfree" crimes in the mouth of the Western media. Some of the banned bad artists went abroad and made a lot of nonsense.

To be honest, Li Tangte in his previous life looked down on this kind of person. Whenever there is a major event in China, such as earthquakes and infectious diseases, it is not ambiguous to donate masks. He still clearly remembers the tears that his parents in his previous life had when they watched the domestic movies "Fanghua" and "Return".

As for why he didn't pay attention to domestic film and television dramas in his previous life, this is a long story. As a professional, he has also watched some excellent film and television dramas in China, such as "Hero", "The Wandering Earth" and so on. These films have undoubtedly reached the standard of Hollywood's A-category blockbusters.

Especially movies like "Farewell My Concubine", "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and even "Fanghua", if you remove cultural backgrounds and racial differences, it is absolutely not a problem to win a few Academy Awards just according to the artistic level of the Oscars.

But good movies are rare after all, most of what you see are flawed plots and poor acting skills, and if you eat too much, you will naturally lose interest. However, he is still very envious of those domestic stars, and he can still make a lot of money at this level.

Uh, that's a bit far.

Getting back to the point, at this time, Li Tang faced his father's "earnest teaching", nodded and said in a proper manner: "I know." ”

There are some things that really need to be cautious, not too blatant, otherwise they will be turned out in the future, and maybe they will be unlucky.

Although Li Tang's attitude was good, Lao Li still sighed worriedly. In his simple thinking, his son's ex-girlfriend Binbin, Qinqin, who came last time, including Jin Suo, who had never met, were all good girls, and any of them could be his daughter-in-law.

Lao Li is very good at one thing, that is, he will not be verbose after speaking. One dozen vaccinations, the end.

After a few glasses of wine, Lao Li began to look forward to the future.

"The area in the north of the city near Dayinggang is going to develop villas, about 2,000 square meters, and I want to order a set."

"Didn't you say that the new city was developed to the east?" Li Tang said.

After the county redistricting, the development of the new city is said to have been put on the agenda, and the new district government building is currently being built on the edge of the eastern city district.

Lao Li shook his head and said: "The development of the new city will not be too fast, the environment in the north of the city is good, and it is close to the hotel......

Saying that, he looked at the house he was living in now and said: "Now that business is getting better and better, I plan to redecorate this place next year and convert it into a private room, which can put out at least six private rooms." ”

"Do you have enough money on hand?"

Xu Guangtou repaid 100,000 yuan, and the salary of "New Plum Cut" was deducted and received a net of 80,000 yuan, plus the salary of "Broad Daylight", and the old lady who was far away in the United States learned that he had bought a house in the capital and specially remitted 20,000 US dollars to him. Now Li Tang has more than 400,000 yuan in cash in hand.

Lao Li was very relieved to hear his son's words, he had bought a house and decorated his son in the past two years, and he really didn't have much money left on hand now, but he still waved his hand and said: "The advance payment for the villa is not much, and I plan to get the hotel decoration in the second half of the year, and the banknotes are no problem." ”

He knew that his ex-wife had remitted money to his son again, so he thought about it and said, "Your mother gave you money, you can take it." I've heard Ira say that Americans don't care about human feelings. When Chenguang, your mother is old, if the little girl in the United States doesn't care about Yi, you have to take care of it. No matter what it is, Yi is your mother after all! ”

"Got it."

Li Tang knew that with his wife's current job in the United States, the future pension would definitely be indispensable, and there was a high probability that he would not have to worry about the pension, but since his father had told him so, he readily agreed.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Li Tang turned on the TV.

This year is the first Spring Festival of the millennium, and it is the Year of the Dragon, and the dragon has a special meaning for Chinese, so the 2000 Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon is said to be unprecedentedly large in terms of scale and cast.

At eight o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala started on time.

As soon as the opening was really extraordinary, there were as many as twenty hosts alone. In addition to gathering almost all the famous hosts of CCTV, there are also Xiaoyanzi, the old man Wen in "I Love My Family", Wen Zhaolun, a representative of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Wang Siyi, the actor of Pan Jinlian in "Water Margin", as well as cross talk actors such as Feng Gong, Niu Qun, and Jiang Kun.

The first program at the beginning was "Welcome Spring In" sung by Zhang Ziyi. After the release of "My Father and Mother" directed by Zhang Yimou, Xiao Zhang has become popular all over the country. And "My Father and Mother" has been shortlisted for the upcoming 50th Berlin International Film Festival, and it is even more coincidental that the chairman of the jury of this Berlin Film Festival is Gong Li.

It can be seen that Xiao Zhang, who first appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, was really nervous, so that her singing was out of standard, and she could obviously hear that there were many out-of-tunes.

This year, many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars were invited, such as Zhang Huimei, Li Min, Xie Tingfeng, etc. "Huanzhu Gege" became popular last year, not only did Xiaoyanzi become the host of the Spring Festival Gala, but Lin Xinru also sang a song "Slippery Her" with Xiao Cui.

Of course, the most joyful thing to bring to the people of the whole country is the sketch "Part-time Worker" cooperated by Uncle Benshan and Song Dandan, a line borrowed from the very fashionable Internet phrase "Sample, I don't know you if you take off your vest?" "Instant explosion.

Before the clock rang at zero o'clock, the most golden time of the Spring Festival Gala was sung by mainland actor Dong Jie and the now popular Hong Kong singer and actor Xie Tingfeng sang a song "Together in This Life".

Dong Jie is a newcomer, but she is the heroine of Zhang Yimou's new film "Happy Times".

From Zhang Ziyi to Dong Jie, it shows the influence of director Zhang Yimou. And from the two of them, Li Tang found that Director Zhang's aesthetics were surprisingly consistent, and he chose the kind of eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls who were very thin, very small, and very pure.

However, in terms of personal aesthetics, Li Tang still prefers a type similar to Gong Li with a big skeleton, a big chest, and a more atmospheric temperament.

Lao Li, as in previous years, insisted on drinking too much until the end of the Spring Festival Gala, Li Tang helped his father into the room, cleaned up the mess, and stood on the balcony to smoke.

Outside the window, firecrackers and fireworks were already ringing, and when the clock rang at zero o'clock on the TV, the fireworks and silver flowers resounded in the night sky outside the window.

To paraphrase a movie line: "The twentieth century has passed, and I miss it!" ”
