The Spring Festival Gala is something that countless artists in the entertainment industry dream of, and the magic of this stage is too great, and no one will refuse this stage.

However, over the years, there have been very few artists in the entertainment industry who can appear on this stage, let alone Xu Ning who has been on this stage several times.

When Zeng Li received the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala program group, she was shopping with her girlfriends, and after answering the phone, she was stunned and couldn't believe that this was true.

It wasn't until her best friend shook her body that she woke up, hugged her best friend in her arms and said excitedly: "Ah, I'm going to the Spring Festival Gala." ”

The eldest pair of girlfriends' eyes were also stunned, "What's the situation, why did you go to the Spring Festival Gala with big pears?!" ”

Zeng Li couldn't suppress the smile on her face, turned around on the street, and posed in a pose that Tsing Yi often does in Peking Opera, which attracted many people to look back.

She didn't say a word, and her best friend immediately guessed a shocking fact: "Do you want to sing Peking Opera at the Spring Festival Gala?" ”

Zeng Li puffed and smiled: "You, you, what level am I, can I sing Peking Opera on the Spring Festival Gala?" I'm not a professional Peking Opera actor! ”

"What about you!?"

"Hmph, woman, you don't know me."

"Ah, I understand again, it shouldn't be "Wujia Poe", right? Didn't you sing with Xu Ning last time? ”

"Hehe, that's right." Speaking of Xu Ning, the smile on Zeng Li's face became more and more beautiful and bright, "The director of the Spring Festival Gala said that they were looking for Xu Ning, and then Xu Ning appointed me to sing with him." ”

The best friend also pulled her up excitedly: "Lili, your luck is too good, does Xu Ning like you?" ”

Zeng Li thought of the few times she was intimate with Xu Ning, and she was very happy in her heart, but she still shook her head and denied it, "How is it possible, there are many teenage girls around Xu Ning, how can they like me so big!" ”

My best friend smiled: "Then you don't understand, I want to eat some Sichuan cuisine to adjust my appetite after eating too much Huaiyang cuisine, it's normal for you to be liked by others!" ”

“……”

The two of them chatted all the way, and when they got to the car, Zeng Li took out his mobile phone and made a gesture of hissing, "I'll call him." ”

After the phone rang, Xu Ning picked it up and heard Zeng Li's joyful voice: "Xiao Ning, thank you, I love you so much!" ”

Girlfriend: "??? ”

Zeng Li had forgotten that there was a girlfriend in the car at this time, and chatted directly with Xu Ning in the car.

shook his girlfriend's head full of smoke, from the shock and incomprehension at the beginning, to the envy in the back, the back molars were about to be crushed.

Hung up the phone.

Zeng Li saw her best friend's starry gaze, "You really got along with Xu Ning, but the dead girl didn't tell me, I wanted you to look good." ”

There were bursts of silver bell-like laughter from Zeng Li in the car, which tickled the hearts of passers-by, and they all wanted to see what was going on in the car.

"Alas, the school flower is really the school flower."

"How can there be, I was ugly when I was filming, and I looked big." Zeng Li said self-deprecatingly.

"But you yourself are really temperamental, much better than those little girls, and you are really one of the few people who are better looking than on TV."

"Giggle, you'll make me laugh."

"Haha, I have to slaughter you well today, invite me to dinner."

“……”

A few days later.

Xu Ning and Zeng Li went out together from the villa in Dongshan Villa, and the two got in the car and went straight to CCTV Studio 1.

When I arrived at the door at eight o'clock.

There are already more than a dozen reporters standing in the actor's passage, including Sohu, Sina, Penguin, CCTV and so on.

As soon as the nanny's car was opened, four people came out of it, Xu Ning and Zeng Li, and their assistants.

As soon as the car door opened, reporters gathered around.

"Hello Xu Ning, how do you feel about going to the Spring Festival Gala again?"

"Zeng Li, are you nervous about the Spring Festival Gala for the first time?"

"Can you tell us what you're performing?"

"Is it Samurai Poe?"

“……”

The reporters asked about some irrelevant topics, in fact, it was the same whether Xu Ning answered or not, anyway, they only needed photos, and then the text could be played at will.

Zeng Li came here for the first time, with a trace of confusion in his clear eyes, and sighed: "There are so many people!" ”

Seeing Xu Ning walking in front, she waved goodbye to the reporters, and then trotted to follow.

The purpose of coming to the studio today is to discuss the format of the show with the director, and will sing after it is officially confirmed.

For three days, Xu Ning would bring Zeng Li over every day, and every time the media had to hype up the intimate relationship between the two.

After all, he is thirty years old, and there is no news of a relationship, so the media will take a bite of it, and when they see who Xu Ning is working with, there will be peachy news.

And the two women who are already pregnant don't care about these at all, they have long known that Xu Ning has a lot of confidantes outside, and they have long calmed down, and now they are thinking about how to keep their positions.

They don't care if Xu Ning sleeps with other women or not, what they want is that Xu Ning will always be good to them.

……

Chinese New Year's Eve is here.

He didn't go to any house tonight, and honestly had a meal at home with his parents and eldest sister.

On such an important holiday, it is sinful to accompany any woman, and if the other woman knows, she will die of acid.

If you go to accompany Gao Yuanyuan, then Shishi, Aunt Liu, Fan Bing'er, Yang Mi and others will be unhappy.

So simply don't go.

In order to inform everyone, he also posted a photo of cooking at home in the afternoon on Weibo, and the fans were happy.

have urged marriage below.

"Big stars still have to cook by themselves, don't they marry a wife and enjoy happiness, and no one urges their relatives and friends to marry during the New Year?"

"Happy New Year Brother Ning!"

"Happy New Year, husband!"

"It's like eating food cooked by my husband, it looks so delicious."

“……”

Yang Mi, Liu Yifei and others all commented under his Weibo, which was very lively and had a festive atmosphere.

New Year's Day for three days.

It is also a critical moment for major movies to compete for the box office.

At present, the main movies in theaters are mainly "Laughing Jianghu" and "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", and the others are very average.

After New Year's Day, the tickets for "Laughing Jianghu" fell to one or two million per day, and finally ended with 160 million.

However, Feng Pants's "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" has a strong momentum, and it has already broken 400 million in less than half a month after its release.

At this rate, it should not be possible to break 500 million in the end, Feng pants is in a hurry, just like getting 500 million yuan.

In his previous life, the final box office of this movie was 470 million, so his wish was about to be disappointed.

Meanwhile.

Xu Ning is also preparing his next movie.

This time he's going to bring a movie that both men and kids will love! Not cartoons, of course, but stories about "mechas".

It's Pacific Rim!

chose this movie, firstly, because of a good reputation, secondly, to play with men's romance, and thirdly, to continue to expand the influence of Ning's film and television base.

First of all, the film did not grossing at the global box office when it was released in its previous life, only $410 million.

And its investment is as high as 190 million US dollars, and the capital side has lost 100 million US dollars, which can be called a failed investment.

But right......

Xu Ning, as a director himself, knows the inside story of film shooting, to be honest, the funds that a movie really uses to produce are not as much as it was said when it was announced.

Ning Hao spent 3.5 million to shoot a "Crazy Stone", and in later generations, "X Jianghong" claimed to invest 500 million, which is really deceptive, and the real production fund of 10 million is considered high.

As for why they say that their costs are very high, on the one hand, it is the need for movie promotion, after all, the more they say, the more excited the audience is; On the other hand, there are some things that cannot be said......

Just imagine, the rate of return on investing in movies is not high, and the risk of losing money is particularly large, is the investor a fool to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in movies?

Isn't it fragrant to have this money to buy a house??

So, there must be other purposes.

Those films that claim to invest hundreds of millions of dollars...... It's so fake, and those capitalists aren't stupid...... What's wrong with so much money.

The only explanation is that there are only two, one is that I didn't invest so much money, and the other is that there is a problem with the way of the ticket and needs to be washed.

If you were given $200 million, would you invest in movies? At least 99 out of 100 people will not do this.

So.

Choosing this "big-production" movie, Xu Ning is not worried at all, even if it is a top-notch shooting, it will not cost 100 million.

Money is still worth a lot!

As long as you don't buy $300,000 a hat, $100 million can't be spent at all, and it's more than enough.

The script of "Bad Pacific" is very simple, that is, a group of monsters come to Earth from the rift of time and space in the deep sea, and start attacking humans, and then humans form a coalition and create tall mechs to deal with this group of monsters.

You don't need to ask why you don't launch missiles to attack monsters, you just don't have to ask why missiles are not as powerful as mechas......

In the end, thanks to the efforts of the coalition forces, the monster was successfully repulsed, and the people regained their peaceful days.

It only took him one day to get the outline of the script, and then it was thrown to the epoch-making film department for more than a dozen screenwriters in the group to perfect.

This kind of Hollywood-style blockbuster, the script is very watery, and it is produced on an assembly line, so it doesn't take any brains at all.

The most important thing is the picture.

As long as the picture is good-looking and impactful, there will be a lot of people who will pay for it, and the box office will not be bad.

But Xu Ning didn't want to do that.

He doesn't want to turn the Chinese film market into an assembly line, and literary and artistic works have always been of the king of quality.

Even if the assembly line products are popular, it is only temporary, and when the audience gets tired of this model, they will soon return to works where quality is king.

However, there is also a simple way to keep readers watching assembly line products - that is, the capitalists unite and only do assembly lines, so that the audience has no choice.

But Xu Ning is not such a person.

He is not short of money now, what he lacks is that sense of achievement, the more the audience likes it and the higher the voice, the happier he is.

Therefore, he told several screenwriters that the story must be complete, ups and downs, and the dialogue must not be naïve, and it must reflect a certain level.

There is plenty of time for them, and in two months, half of these dozen top screenwriters can complete such a script.

……

Studio No. 1 of the Spring Festival Gala.

Thousands of actors gathered here to prepare for the third ribbon rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala.

Jay Chou, Li Xiaoran, Han Geng, Huang Haibo, Haiqing, Rising Sun Yanggang, Lin Chiling, Jia Ling, Han Hong and a large number of people are all around Xu Ning.

Zeng Li stood beside him, and saw that the bigwigs in the circle respected Xu Ning very much, and immediately felt honored.

Thinking of her intimate relationship with Xu Ning, she suddenly felt very happy at the moment, as a woman, she felt that her life was about to be completed.

If there's any regret, it's that I'm not married...... Born in 1976, she is four years older than Xu Ning, and she is 35 years old this year.

Zeng Li, who was in her previous life, was single until 2023, and it is estimated that there is still a lack of a man like Xu Ning who makes her extremely admired.

"Director Xu, the "Wujia Po" sung by you and Zeng Damei is so good, but I haven't heard it on the scene, I'll cheer you on the stage later." Huang Haibo smiled politely.

Li Xiaoran and Lin Chiling's expressions were a little unnatural, after all, their relationship with Xu Ning was very deep, twenty centimeters!

Seeing other women standing next to Xu Ning, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and I really wanted that person to be myself at this moment.

But they themselves know that they can't sing Peking Opera, so they can only reluctantly accept this fact.

Ten minutes later, it was Xu Ning's turn to rehearse, and he and Zeng Li's show was relatively early, ranking seventh.

As soon as he came on stage, everyone in the studio applauded, and Zeng Li, who was wearing a costume, couldn't stop smiling on his face.

[Ah...... My wife, Wang's Bao Chuan]

As soon as Xu Ning's opera came out, Jay Chou suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, and said to Lin Chiling beside him with bared teeth: "Wow, Xu Ning is really too dick." ”

Han Hong opened her mouth and said with a smile: "This is really singing, I'm Cao, Xu Ning's voice is really stable, I don't know how Zeng Li is?!" ”

Li Xiaoran couldn't hear the skills, but she knew that it was good, and her snow-white little hands kept applauding and cheering for Xu Ning.

The Rising Sun Masculine Combination, who heard Xu Ning's live voice for the first time, was also suppressed, and the two brothers couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "A master is a master." ”

“……”

Xu Ning continued to sing.

[Pity you in the cold kiln]

[Pity you for being lonely]

[Waiting for me Xue Nan Pinggui for 18 years]

[Ah...... My wife, Wang's Bao Chuan]

【……】

When Xu Ning was singing, Zeng Li performed on the other side of a wife who was looking forward to her husband's home, and her movements were very charming.

"Zeng Li's skills are good, you can see in these few clicks that she is professional."

"That is, she has been practicing Peking Opera since she was a child, and later entered the Academy of Chinese Opera to study, and was admitted to the Chinese Opera Class in college, so it can be said that she has practiced for a lifetime."

"No wonder! This big Tsing Yi is really beautiful. ”

"She will feel that her face is bigger when she goes on TV, but this is not the case in reality, and her face is still more delicate."

"I'm looking forward to her opening up."

"I have listened to singles on QQ Music, and I sing very well, even a little more professional than Xu Ning."

"I don't know how the scene is?"

“……”

Soon.

When Zeng Li sang, there were thousands of audiences at the scene, all looking at her, and for a moment, she was a little nervous. (End of chapter)
