Chapter 189: It's Back
In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.
Our country is vast, and there may be some differences in the timing of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for different people in different places.
Just like Xu Chuan's hometown, some people start eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at two o'clock in the afternoon.
As a native of the capital, Anquan, their family has always started to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner around 7 o'clock.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at his parents' house, and although the brothers were married and married, they did not separate for the New Year. The family gathered around this old house, although the area is not large, but it is full of warmth.
"Is that Xu Chuan usually easy to talk to?" During the meal, everyone was chatting, as one of the pillars of the family, the content of everyone's chat was naturally placed on An Quan's body.
Speaking of which, An Quan has been Xu Chuan's driver for a while.
In fact, the family is also a little worried about whether being a driver for a celebrity will suffer some unnecessary anger and grievances.
But the habit that Anquan has developed over the years has made him never talk about his work at home.
In the past, it was not easy to ask at home, but now that Anquan's boss has been replaced by Xu Chuan, you can ask.
Hearing this, An Quan said with a smile: "It's very good to talk, and I usually look at everyone politely, and I never put on a stand and deliberately toss people." ”
"Don't they all say that celebrities are difficult to serve, the child of the old Liu family next door to me is in that building, he drove in a car rental company before, and picked up a star, but he was tormented." An Quan's eldest brother immediately smiled when he heard this.
"I don't know about the others, maybe there are such people, but my boss is okay, he is very good to the employees, and he will take the people under him to make extra money." An Quan said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm afraid of following someone who is difficult to speak, come on, let's give a cup to our parents together." Saying that, An Quan's eldest brother was ready to pour wine for An Quan.
"Brother, I won't drink, I'll go to CCTV when I'm full." An Quan hurriedly stopped his cup.
"Didn't your boss give you a holiday? Why do you go to CCTV for the Chinese New Year? As soon as these words came out, An Quan's mother immediately said.
"People gave me a holiday, but for the New Year, a lot of other celebrities' drivers, agents, and assistants were accompanied. You said I was fine after eating anyway.
In the past, I picked him up and then came back, I should go out for a walk, otherwise I would be sorry for the so many year-end bonuses that people sent me, don't you say? An Quanhan said with a smile.
Just when Anquan's mother wanted to say something more. His father was the first to speak: "This is reasonable, we have to preach morality when we go to work, the boss is kind to us and polite to us, and we have to go back." ”
After saying this, An's father continued to ask, "Eh, Quan'er, I heard that your boss is ...... Was it a family accident? ”
An Quan nodded when he heard this.
"And what about this? What was the accident? "Mother An is old and doesn't pay attention to these things at all, but now when she heard this, she immediately asked.
"Don't talk about the accident, it's the New Year, anyway, my boss is the only one in the family now." An Quan shook his head with some embarrassment.
"Ouch, this kid is also a miserable person." An's mother said and folded her hands and bowed to the sky.
"I thought your boss was a rich second generation, and his family was very powerful." An Quan's eldest brother spoke, he didn't pay attention to these either.
"Those who were born in the countryside have worked hard until now and rely on themselves, don't look at the young age of others, they are really stronger than us in all aspects. To be honest, I admire him from the bottom of my heart. An Quan said sincerely.
"This kid is a gentleman, and I admire him when I hear you say that." An Quan's eldest brother nodded.
"Then he has a house in the capital?" Dad Ann continued to ask.
"No, the house he bought in Shanghai is a hotel in the capital."
"Then he's going to the hotel today? It's like the New Year! In this way, you will pick him up later, and you will come to eat dumplings in the Chinese New Year's Eve. You tell your boss that we welcome him as a family. Dad Ann said directly when he heard this.
"Dad, people from Ganxi, don't eat dumplings during the New Year." An Quan said with a smile.
Whether to eat dumplings or not is secondary, mainly based on his understanding of Xu Chuan, Xu Chuan will definitely not come.
"Then don't eat dumplings, come over and eat two bites of food." Ann's mother said.
"Okay, okay, I'll invite you later, let's eat." An Quan changed the subject with a smile.
On the other side, Zhang Yan, who is far away in Pengcheng, ate Chinese New Year's Eve earlier, and a bunch of people have gathered at home to watch the Spring Festival Gala while playing mahjong.
"Three cakes, Yanyan, what is your boss performing at the Spring Festival Gala this year, the sketch is still singing." Zhang Yan's sister-in-law asked with a smile after playing a card.
"It must be singing." Zhang Yan said with some tears and laughter.
"The Internet said that he went to act in a sketch."
"You listen to people on the Internet talking nonsense, Six." Zhang Yan touched a card and played it.
After saying this, Zhang Yan continued to add: "Oh yes, I also filmed an advertisement. ”
"Shoot commercials?" As soon as these words came out, others were curious, "Why do you still shoot advertisements on the Spring Festival Gala?" ”
"Public service announcements, just before the start of the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala." Zhang Yan said and raised her hand to look at her watch, "It will be more than ten minutes before it is released." ”
"If you want to say that your boss is really a genius, how do you feel that he can do anything?"
"He doesn't know everything, at least he dances like he's doing rehab exercises." Zhang Yan said smoothly.
"Hahaha, don't say this in front of him, I'll deduct your salary later."
"Don't be afraid, he said it himself." Zhang Yan said with a smile.
"Hahahahahaha, your boss is really interesting."
"It's really interesting, working on his side, my life will be a few years longer. Huh!! Give money to money. Zhang Yan said and slapped the cards in her hand on the table.
After collecting the money for a while, she got up and said, "Little guy, you come and fight, I won't fight." ”
"If you win, run away, there's no gambling."
"The ad is almost on the air, I have to go to work." Zhang Yan shrugged her shoulders, "The boss sings in the capital for the New Year, I have to keep an eye on public opinion for him, otherwise I'm sorry that people are so good to me." ”
With that, she sat down on the sofa, opened a laptop and rested it on her lap, and then leisurely waited for the commercial to air.
Zhang Yan didn't fight, and the others lost interest for a while.
So, everyone sat on the sofa and watched TV with Zhang Yan. In addition, I also want to watch how Zhang Yan works.
Time passed quickly, and suddenly there was a burst of Cantonese spoken by the grandmother on the TV.
"Wait for the cooking to be eaten, okay?" Accompanied by this Cantonese, it is a picture of a grandfather holding a child.
Xu Chuan's creative "Chopsticks" public service advertisement started here.
Chopsticks has a total of 8 units, filmed in eight different cities, south to Yangcheng, north to Shumusi, and also went to San Francisco Chinatown in the United States.
Each unit presents a different theme.
The grandfather in eastern Guangdong used chopsticks to dip sauce or vinegar for children to taste, expressing "enlightenment".
Shanghai's mother taught her daughter to use chopsticks to pick up vegetables, which means "inheritance".
In this unit, there is a line that Xu Chuan is very impressed. It is the sentence that came out in Shanghai dialect: "Allah is Chinese, and Chinese people can use chopsticks, and they know how to cut it." ”
The third unit is the scene of Min Jianyi's family eating, the children want to pick up vegetables and are taught to let the elders move the chopsticks first, talking about [Ming Li].
Immediately afterwards, in the Heilong River, the wanderer who had not returned for three years came home, and couldn't wait to pick up the vegetables with chopsticks in the kitchen, and the smile shown by his mother explained "love".
In San Francisco's Chinatown, the gray-haired old man put his chopsticks in front of his parents' shrine to greet the New Year, telling about "missing".
The big family of Yuchuan took Uncle Wang from the neighbor's house to the house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, saying that it was a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks, and conveying that it was "good neighborliness".
In the seventh unit, in Ludong, the courier brother sent a pair of children's chopsticks to his pregnant wife after returning home, which is a lifetime of [staying together].
The two units of good neighborliness and keeping each other made Xu Chuan deeply impressed.
Finally, in the capital, after the grandmother picked up vegetables for her grandson, the grandson also served the vegetables to the grandmother in a timely manner, expressing [gratitude].
Overall, "Chopsticks" is a rare classic public service announcement.
The theme is good, the meaning conveyed is good, and the utensils used to convey the meaning are better chosen.
When the classic scenes and classic lines in Xu Chuan's memory appeared in front of Zhang Yan and her family.
Her family is obviously getting more and more serious.
Wait until the ad finishes.
When the picture had cut to the scene of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Yan's family said: "Your boss shot this advertisement?" ”
"He didn't shoot it, but the idea was his." Zhang Yan pondered the words and said.
"This is also a great shot, how do you say your boss's brain is long, why can't I think of this idea?"
"You asked this question, I want to know how his brain grows, I must find a way to be as long as him."
This is the first time she has seen this advertisement, but she knows what form this advertisement is probably in, because she has seen Xu Chuan's copywriting.
But I really didn't expect that the effect of the real shot is much more moving than the copy.
With this advertisement, Zhang Yan felt that Xu Chuan's trip to the Spring Festival Gala was already a great success.
Not to mention a hilarious interview today.
Now, let's see if the song sung by Xu Chuan can trigger some repercussions, it is better to have a repercussion, and it doesn't matter if there is no repercussions, it is enough now.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked, "Eh, did you see my boss's name on that public service announcement just now?" ”
"Name?" As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yan's family began to recall.
After recalling for a long time, everyone spoke: "It seems that there is no ah, I didn't see a name." ”
"Yes, I didn't see it either, the subtitles are either subtitles for speaking, or subtitles for the address and subject, I didn't see your boss written about it."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yandi couldn't help but murmur with some doubts: "No, the Spring Festival Gala program team said that it would be signed, isn't it a temporary hexagram?" ”
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan directly began to search on the Internet.
But the "Chopsticks Chapter" has just been played, and now there is basically no useful information on the Internet.
On the other side, An Quan had already finished eating, and his wife was giving him a scarf.
Looking out the window, you can see the snow outside, a beautiful scene.
"You drive carefully, don't be in a hurry, be steady." After wrapping the scarf, An Quan's wife admonished.
"Don't worry, it's okay." An Quan smiled at her, and then took cotton gloves and went out, although he also had his own car, he chose to take the subway to CCTV, which was more convenient.
Xu Chuan's long-rented nanny car is parked in the parking lot of CCTV, the key is in Cai Meng's hand, and he also has a spare key here.
Speaking of Cai Meng, she is now watching the performance on stage in the audience in the last row of the Spring Festival Gala.
Originally, the chief director Yang Qingchun said that Cai Meng could be arranged a front position, but Cai Meng and Xu Chuan would leave later, so it would be more convenient to sit in the back.
As for Xu Chuan, he was not hung backstage, but sat at the round tables in the front row of the Spring Festival Gala with a group of stars and watched the live performances.
Should I say it or not, the language programs of the Spring Festival Gala are not good-looking, and other programs still look okay.
Especially the large-scale singing and dancing programs, they look very good at the scene, and Xu Chuan can be said to be relishing.
One show after another.
Xu Chuan's program was scheduled at 9:07, so at 8:35, he was called away by the staff to wait.
said that it was waiting, but in fact, it was to touch up the makeup and check the equipment, if there were no such processes, Xu Chuan could actually go directly from the audience.
Anyway, after the camera was cut away, the audience in front of the TV didn't know how Xu Chuan got on stage.
In the back row of the audience, Cai Meng watched the performance on stage while blowing water in the studio group chat.
Just blowing and blowing, she heard the host's voice introducing Xu Chuan.
At the same time, Xu Chuan on the stage and the accompanying dance teachers also quickly marched to the designated position.
When the host finished the curtain call, the camera perspective switched, and Xu Chuan's performance officially began.
The sound of the piano slowly sounded, the backup dancers began to dance to the music, and Xu Chuan stood in the center of the stage that rose about a meter and waited for the end of the prelude.
The Spring Festival Gala will use lip-to-dance, which everyone actually knows, this has little to do with whether the singer's singing skills are good or not, mainly because of the fear of live broadcast accidents.
However, not all songs will be sung.
Just like Xu Chuan this time, since he participated in the Spring Festival Gala, the concept in his mind has come up to lip-sync.
But the Spring Festival Gala program team has a disagreement about this, and some people think that Xu Chuan must be allowed to sing.
The recorded version is too perfect, too perfect but can't express the feelings of this song, that is, you have to catch Xu Chuan in the process of singing this song, the natural changes due to emotional fluctuations, so that you can really move people.
But there are also some people who think that it is still necessary to give priority to the effect of the live broadcast, and what impresses people and what does not move people will be put later.
just fought back and forth, and after five rehearsals, it was finally decided to let Xu Chuan really sing.
Fortunately, Xu Chuan's heart is big enough, and the tension has almost dissipated after five rows, so it doesn't matter if he sings or falset-to-lip singing.
If there is no problem, the picture can be instantly switched to the fifth recorded version, replacing Xu Chuan's current picture.
The audience simply can't see it.
"It's time for Xu Chuan to sing." In Chengdu, Lin Mengying's family also sat together, chatting and using the Spring Festival Gala as the background sound.
After seeing Xu Chuan appear, the family instinctively turned their heads to the TV.
On TV, the prelude to "Where Has All the Time Gone" ends.
Xu Chuan picked up the microphone, looked slightly above and sang: "The old tree in front of the door grows new sprouts~~."
The dead wood in the yard is blooming again~~
…………”
Accompanied by Xu Chuan's music, a scene of sand painting appeared in the background behind him.
Looking at the sand paintings, and then listening to Xu Chuan's singing, Lin Mengying didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment.
For a while, she thought a lot.
Feeling sorry for Xu Chuan is one thing.
The second aspect is to think that my grandfather is getting older, maybe in the near future......
The moment this thought came to mind, she couldn't help but reach out and hug Lin Zhongquan's arm next to her.
Lin Zhongquan naturally could feel the mood of his precious granddaughter, and reached out and touched her head to show comfort.
But it was this touch that made Lin Mengying's eyes instantly sour, and tears came down at that time, she was a little sad and leaned her head on Lin Zhongquan's shoulder and shouted: "Grandpa." ”
Lin Zhongquan replied and touched Lin Mengying's head again.
Then he said, "You ask him if he has time to come to the house to play after the New Year." ”
"Hmm." Lin Mengying nodded.
Xu Chuan's singing voice is still fluttering.
"Where has the time gone~~
I don't feel young yet~~
Give birth to children and raise daughters for a lifetime~~
My mind was full of children crying and laughing~~"
At the same time, Qiu Yicheng, who was in her hometown in Xiangnan, looked at Xu Chuan, who was already choked on TV, her eyes were red and she pursed her lips tightly, and she didn't say a word.
"Sister, cry if you want to, don't bear it." Qiu Zhixia said and carefully handed over a tissue.
Hearing this, Qiu Yicheng first glanced at Qiu Zhixia, and then took the tissue.
"This brother-in-law, really what is that...... It's hard. Qiu Zhixia stumbled and said.
Hearing this, Qiu Yicheng recalled that last year, he crossed half the world to New Zealand to find him, and the first thing he said was "I miss my mother".
Thinking of this, Qiu Yicheng felt that her heart was twitching.
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she wiped the tears that had just burst out of her eyes because of the heartache.
Turning his head to look at Qiu Zhixia and said, "Let's not talk about him first, let's talk about you first, can you change your bad habits and find a girlfriend?" Mom and Dad are getting older, can you let them save some snacks? ”
When Qiu Zhixia heard this, he secretly scolded himself for not talking too much.
Now it's okay, the old lady is sad and doesn't say anything, and she begins to teach herself a lesson.
Thinking of this, Qiu Zhixia hurriedly nodded and said, "Change it, change it, it must be changed, oops, I may have eaten too much, I'll go to the toilet, go to the toilet." ”
After finishing speaking, he ran away, and Qiu Yicheng was the only one left in the living room, as for his parents, who are now playing mahjong in the mahjong room, they don't know anything about it here.
It's not just Qiu Yicheng and Lin Mengying.
There are also other staff in the studio, artists who have a good relationship with Xu Chuan, and many fans of Xu Chuan.
At this moment, seeing Xu Chuan singing the song "Where Has Time Go" at the Spring Festival Gala, I have an indescribable sadness.
Of course, there are many people who have nothing to do with Xu Chuan who are simply moved by his singing.
This is true for everyone who watches TV.
Cai Meng at the scene had already cried into tears.
Speaking of which, she has never seen any sad emotions on Xu Chuan these days.
Xu Chuan is very happy every day, not only for himself, but also for others.
He was even happier than any ordinary person facing the New Year.
But now that he thinks about it carefully, as a person who stays with Xu Chuan every day, Cai Meng can still feel the deliberateness in Xu Chuan.
It was as if he was forcing himself to find something to be happy about, in order to dilute the lingering sadness in his heart.
"Where has the time gone~~
I didn't take a good look at your eyes~~
Firewood, rice, oil, and salt for half a lifetime~~
In a blink of an eye, only the wrinkles on the face remained~~"
After finishing the song, Xu Chuan bowed to the audience, and then left the stage and walked backstage.
Cai Meng wiped a handful of tears, got up and left the audience.
In the process of walking, I could hear the words of the host on the spot, she was extending the topic of "Where Has Time Gone", but Cai Meng didn't have any intention to listen.
A few minutes later, Cai Meng found Xu Chuan in the background.
At this time, Xu Chuan had already returned to a state of smiling, looked at Cai Meng's slightly red and swollen eyes, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, my eyes are red like a monkey's ass." ”
"Punched twice by a dog." Cai Meng didn't want to dwell on unhappy topics, so he simply made a joke.
"Eh, eh, isn't it scolding people around the corner." When Xu Chuan heard this, he said exaggeratedly.
"Eh, eh, eh, isn't it the right seat?" Cai Meng said in Xu Chuan's tone.
"I was going to take you to a big dinner, but now it's gone."
"I was wrong, Brother Chuan, you must not worry about the little ones." As soon as Cai Meng heard this, he immediately apologized and confessed faster than anyone else.
"For the sake of your good attitude of admitting your mistakes, wait for the eldest brother to change his clothes and take you to the tooth sacrifice." Xu Chuan said as he pulled out his suitcase from the cabinet and began to change clothes.
Cai Meng also pulled out a suitcase and opened it to put a hat and scarf on himself.
These two suitcases were carried by two people for clothes, and there were several large ones in the hotel.
A few minutes later, the two walked out the door.
When they reached the door, the two realized that it was snowing outside.
"It's so beautiful." Cai Meng looked up at Xuehua, and reached out to pick it up as he spoke.
"Is it snowing in your hometown for the New Year?" Xu Chuan also stretched out his hand to catch the snow, as I said before, Cai Meng is from Yanchuan.
"Of course, Brother Chuan, does it snow in your hometown in winter?"
"It's also down, but it's not as big as here, there was a big one when I was a child, and then we went to build a snowman and have a snowball fight, and my mother was always afraid that I would freeze." Xu Chuan looked at the sky and said.
As soon as these words came out, Cai Meng turned his head and glanced at Xu Chuan, not knowing how to answer.
"Let's go." Xu Chuan took a breath and said.
As soon as Cai Meng wanted to speak, she saw a person running not far away, and only after seeing it clearly, she said, "Brother An is here." ”
Xu Chuan naturally saw it too.
After An Quan got closer, he said with a smile: "Why are you here, didn't you give you a holiday?" ”
"Isn't this afraid that it will be inconvenient for you and Xiao Cai to drive, anyway, I'm idle, you came out so fast, I thought you had to end before leaving, but fortunately I caught up." An Quanhan said with a smile.
Xu Chuan smiled when he heard this, and was about to speak, when he heard his mobile phone ringing.
When I picked it up, Shen Ping'an called.
After the phone was connected, before Xu Chuan could speak, he heard Shen Pingan shouting: "Brother, have you come out, grandpa asked me to come and pick you up for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." ”
When Xu Chuan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Come out, where are you?" ”
"I'm outside, and this security guard won't let me in."
"You wait for me to go out and find you." Xu Chuan said and walked out, Cai Meng and An Quan saw this, picked up Xu Chuan's suitcase and followed.
After leaving the courtyard, Xu Chuan looked around with the phone, and soon saw Shen Ping'an, who was wrapped like a ball, standing next to a car and waving to him.
Seeing this, Xu Chuan hung up the phone, stepped forward quickly, looked at Shen Ping'an and said, "Why are you wearing so much?" ”
"Grandma didn't let me wear it, for fear that I would freeze." Shen Ping'an said helplessly.
After speaking, he didn't wait for Xu Chuan to speak, and immediately said, "Let's go, grandparents are still waiting." ”
"Didn't I say it before, I went to pay New Year's greetings again and again, and today I will forget it." Xu Chuan looked at Shen Ping'an and said with a smile.
"What are you talking about, how can anyone go home on the first day of the new year, we haven't opened a meal, just wait for you, let's go, hurry up, you want to starve me for the New Year." Shen Ping'an said and pulled Xu Chuan directly to the car.
While pulling back, he said: "Have you ever heard of being a teacher for one day and a father for life, where are your two fathers waiting for you, my home is your home, why do you always treat yourself as an outsider?" ”
Hearing Shen Ping'an's words, Xu Chuan didn't know how to describe his feelings.
He hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't pull it, your sister Cai Meng and my driver are still behind, I have to explain." ”
Hearing this, Shen Ping'an stopped, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a man and a woman standing there not far away.
Xu Chuan beckoned to the two, and soon, Cai Meng and An Quan walked closer with a suitcase.
"Brother An, you've worked hard for a trip, how did you get here?" Xu Chuan asked at An Quan.
"Take the subway." An Quan doesn't have to hide this.
"In this way, you drive my car back, be careful on the road, I have to go to my master's house today."
"Okay, that's a good idea." Hearing this, An Quan was sincerely happy for Xu Chuan, which was better than going to the hotel.
"It's hard work, help me bring my family to say hello." Xu Chuan smiled and patted An Quan's arm and took the suitcase from him.
Then he said to Cai Meng: "Let's go, you come with me." ”
"Me? I'm not going. Cai Meng said with some hesitation, she was a little embarrassed to go to Master Xu Chuan's house for the New Year.
"Why don't you go, why don't you go." When Shen Ping'an heard this, he hurriedly persuaded, "My grandma made a table of delicious food, and she didn't move a bite." ”
Hearing this, Cai Mengxin said: Then it will be even more difficult for me to go.
Just when she wanted to speak, she heard Xu Chuan say: "Don't think so much, just go to my house, it's no problem to go to my house." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Cai Meng to reply, and directly opened the car door and pressed Cai Meng in.
Ten minutes later, the three people who had packed up the parking sat in the car, this time changing to Xu Chuan to drive.
After about forty minutes, Xu Chuan stood at the door of Shen Huajin's house.
I don't know why, for this place he often visits, Xu Chuan has a feeling of timidity for the first time.
When the door opened, his heart was beating even faster.
After changing his shoes and hanging up his clothes and walking in, he could see Shen Huajin who was placing chopsticks at the dining table, and Zhu Lanyun should be in the kitchen.
Before Xu Chuan could speak, he heard the old man say, "Are you back?" ”
"I'm back." The thousands of words in Xu Chuan's heart finally turned into the same three words as the old man just said.
Shen Huajin and Xu Chuan didn't say anything after saying this, but looked at Cai Meng and smiled: "Xiao Cai, right?" ”
"Yes, Happy New Year to Mr. Shen." Cai Meng hurriedly bowed when he heard this.
"Happy New Year to you, don't stand stupidly, sit down." Shen Huajin warmly beckoned Cai Meng to take a seat.
"Eh, okay." Cai Meng said yes, but his ass didn't really sit down, and there was another one in the kitchen.
Soon, Zhu Lanyun came out with a plate of dishes, and ignored Xu Chuan, but said directly to Cai Meng: "Xiao Cai, sit and sit, don't be restrained, just treat it as your own home." ”
"Eh, okay, Mr. Zhu, Happy New Year." Cai Meng bowed to Zhu Lanyun again.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." Zhu Lanyun said with a smile.
After another polite gesture, Cai Meng finally sat down.
The two old men entertained Cai Meng so warmly because she was a guest.
And the family doesn't need to be so polite, so they naturally don't come to this set with Xu Chuan.
(End of chapter)
