this man is not calm

Chapter 276 Yuanri

As one of the backdrops for family chats on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the party held by Jinxi Culture was relatively successful.

There are a group of big and small stars led by Dai Yiqin, some of the failed Spring Festival Gala shows, many less famous but good folk artists, and a group of handsome male and beautiful trainees from Changdi Culture, and even the Zhendian Band Several well-known local bar singers of acceptable quality joined in and performed with amateur-level employees. It was very lively and hilarious.

It's not so much a party as it is a variety show with more singing and dancing performances.

It’s hard to tell what the effect will be after the atypical and not very serious party is broadcast.

It's a good exposure opportunity, and it's simulcast by nearly ten local stations, so it shouldn't be too bad.

It would be great if one or two newcomers use this platform to become popular.

Not only TV stations, Jinxi Video has also been launched, and there have been several rounds of advertisements in newspapers, magazines and portals.

The effect is so-so.

Nowadays, online viewing is still far from becoming mainstream. Not to mention the cost, the lag is serious, and the definition is far inferior to that of TV.

Before the emergence of ultra-clear large-screen home monitors, the weak Internet had no power to fight back in front of TV networks.

"Better than nothing." 』

The early stage of farming is the hardest, and the input and output are also the worst. But only by sowing seeds early can they grow and bear fruit as quickly as possible.

Judging from the performances of Zhang Yun and Zhang Yunluan, little girls are still very concerned about this relatively relaxed and fashionable party program. Even mother Mei Xinghong and ten-year-old primary school student Zhang Jiu showed great interest in some programs.

To say that it is suitable for all ages is too exaggerated. It has at least attracted the attention of some viewers, which proves that this unexpected party program should be considered a success.

When the first acquaintance program was performed, that is, when Jin Shang took Mei Fengchun and Fang Hua on stage, the song "Shameless" made the old people frown, the middle-aged people were noncommittal, the young people were eager to try, and the youngest Zhang Jiu couldn't help but He danced and kicked over a trash can, and was caught and beaten by his mother Jin Lanyun.

He can't sit still while watching TV. It seems that he still receives too little discipline.

Zhang Jun came over and asked softly:

"You're talking about... I can't do this level."

A layman watching the excitement might think that just shouting with a broken gong is enough. Zhang Yun, who is half an expert, understands how difficult it is to sing this song and to sing it well. Forget about rapping, drums, bass, guitar, etc., without the tacit understanding of practicing together for a long time, they can't cooperate at all.

If it is measured by the fact that it is difficult for artists of this professional level to win, Zhang Yun feels that his "half bucket of water" is not even qualified to hang around.

"The advantage of the group is to maximize its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. Your advantage is dancing, so you should focus on that. As for the lyrics, I will arrange a few lines for you in the chorus at most. The opportunity to sing solo, before you reach a certain level, is There won’t be any.”

After thinking for a while, Jin Shang responded,

"No one can learn it from the beginning, and success does not exist in this industry. Stardom is a profession under the spotlight. If you show any timidity, someone will use a magnifying glass to find it. Therefore, daily study Accumulation cannot stop, we must hold on.”

"I...will try my best."

"Since you plan to take this path, you should pay attention to correcting your accent. By the way, learn a foreign language. You don't need to be proficient in it. It just comes in handy at critical moments."

"I still need to learn a foreign language."

Zhang Jun had a sad face.

If I had that talent, I wouldn't have failed to pass the college entrance examination.

"Sign up for a tutoring class, or ask a teacher from the training camp to teach you. This is non-negotiable. I know that everyone is not good at studying. If you really have that talent, you won't come to this field to study. But, if you are really famous, Even if you are pretending, just pretend to be educated. Internally and externally, you still have to have a literary and artistic style..."

"I know, I know."

Zhang Jun pouted slightly unhappily and couldn't help but mutter,

"I don't know who is older. If you speak so directly, I am the cousin."

Jin Shang pretended not to hear and ignored him at all, eating an orange and staring at the screen.

Later in the evening, Jin Lanyun and Mrs. Xian went shopping. In the afternoon, the weather was not bad and it was good to go for a walk. There were many Spring Festival activities outside and it was very lively.

Among those staying at home, Zhang Jiu was preoccupied with playing games and asked her cousin Jin Shang if he had any new game cartridges. Zhang Yunluan was interested in Dai Yiqin’s gossip. As a freshman in high school, she took a photo with Dai Yiqin. And I am very proud of becoming a popular figure in the class.

Zhang Yun, who can't sit still, really wants to go out and play, but he is a bit repelled by hanging out with his mother and grandmother. As for Zhang Hua, who is relatively dull, he gets along well with the two shepherd dogs and goes for a walk with Jin Shi. Yes, I probably went out for a smoke.

My mother, Mei Xinghong, felt sleepy in the afternoon. She watched TV for a while and then went back to her room to rest.

Jin Shang took several cousins ​​to watch Dai Yiqin's singing and dancing, and insisted on waiting until the end of the party.

"Next, you can play games or watch movies. The console over there is already connected. The remote control and instructions are here. You can operate it by yourself. I want to see how the soup is cooking."

"Hey, don't you want to play with us?"

Zhang Yun was a little surprised, so he had to take care of himself?

Jin Shang chuckled and responded:

"Just don't make too much noise..."

The kitchen is quite complete, including dumplings, chicken soup, and lotus root and pork ribs soup, especially the latter. This is a tradition left behind when people went north hundreds of years ago. Nowadays, there are very few local dishes in the capital. Families would eat this on New Year's Eve.

The main reason is that lotus roots do not grow in the north, so it is more troublesome to eat them. The best lotus roots have to be transported from central China, which is not only expensive but also difficult to buy.

"The black chicken and ginseng soup uses fresh lotus root. The rest is not simple. The ingredients were flown in. Lao Jin put a lot of thought into this day." 』

Jin Shang, who is not a gourmet and has average cooking skills, doesn't really know much about these things, but after eating a lot of good food and food, he can still tell the difference between good food and bad food.

The key step has been completed by Laobian. It is enough to simmer over low heat and control the time and heat.

While Zhang Yunying and several younger siblings were playing in the living room, Jin Shang was busy in the kitchen for a while and took the time to make a phone call with Li Xuan.

At around six o'clock, Mrs. Xian and her aunt Jin Lanyun, as well as her uncles Zhang Hua and Jin Shi, who had been out for a walk, returned. The food was almost ready.

This year has been the Spring Festival in Jin Shang’s memory where all his relatives have come together the most, although many people still didn’t come.

As time goes by, everyone has dispersed, and every time we get together is quite difficult.

After enjoying the New Year dinner happily, Jin Shang sent a photo to his relatives through the group chat. In fact, Jin Shang's movements are already quite slow. Mei Wenhui, He Mei Fengchun and his eldest aunt Jin Lanzhi's family have already posted a lot of pictures in it. Connecting to the TV through the game console and watching the high-definition enlarged picture, Mrs.

"The world is getting faster and faster, and I can hardly catch up."

Even though you are thousands of miles away, you can still connect without any obstruction. Not only can you make calls, but you can also send photos. Of course, the current video cannot be posted. The Internet speed does not allow it and there is no such condition.

"It just started recently."

Jin Shang explained implicitly.

Before the Spring Festival, Jinxi Chat specially updated a version to open up personal groups and added a high-definition original image transmission function. Naturally, some functions are limited and only VIP members can fully enjoy it.

For example, when transmitting pictures, they used to be sent through transcoding and compression. If the picture was too large, it would appear blurry. Now, it is possible to send high-definition original pictures. If you can afford the Internet fee, you can send as much as you want before your personal data package reaches the limit.

Before the emergence of MMS that could send pictures, the picture exchange function of PJX Chat was the best application that ordinary netizens could have access to, except for the less intuitive and convenient email.

There are also limitations, that is, digital cameras are not that popular these days. If not, converting an ordinary photo into an electronic version requires related scanning equipment, or directly capturing the photo with a camera.

In short, we have only solved the existing problem, but from Jin Shang's point of view, there is still a long way to go.

However, in the eyes of others, this is already very good. With just a few simple devices and a not too complicated method, you can send real-time pictures ultra-remotely, which is already amazing. In the past, to achieve this step, we could only use expensive remote conferencing and the like. A set of equipment cost at least hundreds of thousands. To build a practical system, the cost was even more staggering. It was not necessarily as convenient as chatting today.

Even laymen who don’t know much about it understand that sooner or later this thing will have a profound impact on future society.

Before this, everyone may not have an intuitive understanding of Jin Shang's career, but now, they more or less understand what he is doing.

After all, it was the Spring Festival, and no one had the time to care about the presence or absence of these things, so they quickly put this aside.

It was already dark outside. Zhang Hua and Jin Lanyun's family had another conversation before standing up to leave.

Father Jin Shi went to see him off. When he came back, Jin Shang had already tidied up the kitchen.

The heating was turned on a bit high and the smell in the room was a bit strong. I turned on the ventilation fan for a while before I recovered.

"The weather has changed a lot in the morning and evening these days, so you have to be careful not to get sick. I saw a lot of people buying medicine in the small community clinic outside."

On New Year's Eve, unless it's so serious that you can't stand it anymore, you generally won't go to the hospital. You just keep some medicine at home for emergencies.

"Snowing?"

Seeing Jin Shi patting the small snowflakes on his body, Jin Shang was a little surprised. The sun was still out in the afternoon.

"Well, luckily there hasn't been a strong wind, so it shouldn't matter. This time of year is the peak season for all kinds of colds."

This is especially troublesome if there are children at home who have low immunity.

That should be it for tonight. Tomorrow will be quite busy. I will clear the snow, worship ancestors, go out to visit relatives and friends, and receive visitors when I come back. It is actually quite busy.

In the past, Jin Shang was still underage and was too lazy to go out with his father to visit. He basically stayed at home and was lazy.

I estimate that I will have to do some more field work this year.

After the snow clearing and ancestor worship activities, the father and son will probably split up and do their own thing. There are some unavoidable favors on Lao Jin's side, and there are also many on Xiao Jin's side.

Children look forward to the New Year because it is fun, but adults feel that the New Year is getting less and less interesting, and they may not be able to fully enjoy the New Year because they are tied up in trivial matters and waste too much energy.

Jin Shi hung up his coat, walked closer, and patted Jin Shang on the shoulder.

"Rejection and resistance are not advisable. Whether you like it or hate it, they are all an essential part of life. Try to explore the fun in it instead of dealing with it with resentment. Just like drinking tea, it is bitter in itself. But the fragrance lingers on the lips and teeth, making people have endless aftertaste.”

"I try to... adapt."

"There are only a few people in the family, and you don't have any brothers or sisters. You have nowhere to hide."

"No need to remind me again and again. Forget it, I won't say anything about next year this year, just watch TV honestly."

A family of four people and two dogs gathered around the living room and watched the big TV screen. They were just like in previous years, even more lively and grander in the Spring Festival Gala, but they always felt that it was not as impressive as the one they watched in the afternoon. .

"It's superficial, talking in general terms, and generalizing. In other words, it's becoming less and less down-to-earth. 』

Sighing secretly in his heart, on the surface, Jin Shang was still very calm.

After all, the older generation of artists are still there, and the wonderful cross talk sketches, folk acrobatics, and singing and dancing of big stars can still satisfy the appetites of all audiences.

Dai Yiqin's programs were relatively late. The chorus of golden songs was okay, and the solo performance of "Mortal Song" was already past eleven o'clock. Mei Xinghong and Xian Guizhen couldn't stand it until then and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Jin Shize answers the phone from time to time, and the text messages on his mobile phone never stop. Apart from chatting and joking with Li Xuan from time to time, Jin Shang didn't send many blessing messages. He directly used Fetion to send group messages, and edited a small program to automatically reply from several templates.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jin Shang went out carrying firecrackers weighing dozens of kilograms, circled around the small yard, and then lit the fuse.

It took nearly five or six minutes for the firecrackers to be set off completely. Jin Shang waited until the gunpowder smoke nearby had almost cleared before pushing the door open and entering the house.

After drinking some chicken soup with Jin Shi, his mother and grandmother who had been woken up, Jin Shang returned to the bedroom to prepare for bed. Suddenly he remembered something. He turned on his computer and logged into the Beijing Federation of Students forum. There was an account he hadn't looked at for a long time. Many people come here because of its reputation.

After reading the private message and seeing that there was no need to reply, Jin Shang directly posted a poem in the "New Year Special Topics" column as a way to add to the fun.

"The sound of firecrackers eliminates one year old, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches."

Since Xianggong Jiefu in this time and space did not publish the famous "Yuan Ri", Jin Shang naturally wanted to help and not let the famous piece become dusty.

After struggling for so long, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and he would have to get up early tomorrow. Jin Shang no longer hesitated and went to bed quickly.

As for someone who saw Jin Shang's "new work" on the Internet, I fell into sleep long ago when I was judging the quality.
