Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 133 Spring Festival Gala
As the Spring Festival draws closer, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger and stronger on the streets of Beijing.

People began to post spring couplets everywhere in the streets and alleys, and a festive and lively atmosphere filled everyone's face.

Supermarkets and shops on both sides of the street began playing various New Year songs.

"Congratulations on your fortune"

"Congratulations on your wonderful performance"

“The best please come”

"If you're not good, please go away."

Zhuo Yiting is worthy of being the king of cover songs. Last year, Andy Lau's "Gong Xi Fa Cai" became popular all over the country, and this year she followed suit and released a cover version.

It’s no wonder that her version is quite popular, and there are shops playing it everywhere on the streets.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Zhuo's car slowly drove through the crowded streets to the CCTV studio.

A lot of people had gathered outside the studio at this time. They were all performers of this year's Spring Festival Gala. They were lining up to be inspected.

"Wu Zhuo, here!"

From a distance, Angela Zhang, who was standing at the back of the line, saw Wu Chao and shouted to him.

"Haven't Brother Tao and the others arrived yet?"

Wu Zhuo trotted over and stood behind her.

There are not many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists participating in the Spring Festival Gala this year.

Including Ah Niu from Malaysia, there are only six.

They are Wu Zhuo, Angela Zhang, David Tao, Jolin Tsai and Joey Yung.

They were divided into two programs, "Joy and Harmony. Popular Colors (I)" and "Joy and Harmony. Popular Colors (II)".

Then they each sang their own songs.

Wu Zhuo happened to be in a group with Angela Chang and Joey Yung, singing "Invisible Wings", "Rice Fragrance" and "The More You Sing, the Stronger You Get" respectively.

However, since they are all from Taiwan, Wu Zhuo gets along well with Angela Chang and David Tao.

As for Jolin Tsai, she was dissatisfied with Wu Chao because he refused to give her the song "Angel in the Devil" last time, and the relationship between the two was not harmonious.

"They went in first. I just arrived."

Angela Chang said, and couldn't help but ask enviously, "Is it true that the media reported that you were going to star in Red Cliff?"

"I did intend to act in the role before, but we couldn't come to an agreement, so I won't act now."

Wu Zhuo knew why she was curious and envious.

During this period, John Woo was an internationally renowned director with extraordinary appeal.

In addition, this film has a huge investment and is currently the most anticipated film in the industry.

It seemed incredible to her that Wu Zhuo, a newcomer who had just debuted for a year, could get a chance in this kind of film.

"Not acting anymore?" Angela Zhang was stunned. "Why? Such a good opportunity."

"Some special reasons." Wu Chao would not say that it was because he was not satisfied with the role.

He looked ahead, "Let's go! It's our turn."

After strict inspections and numerous checkpoints, Wu Chao and Angela Chang soon arrived backstage at the Spring Festival Gala.

At this time, the place was already crowded with staff members running around everywhere.

The artists are taking the time to put on makeup and change clothes in preparation for the upcoming performances.

Wu Zhuo and Angela Zhang said goodbye to each other and began to change into their performance costumes and put on makeup under the guidance of the staff.

Because there were so many people, whether they were artists, dance troupes or other performers, they all needed to put on makeup, so the backstage was very crowded.

A single dressing room?
No, there are only six large changing rooms in the entire backstage, each of which can accommodate more than 20 people.

Everyone needs to line up and wait for the people in front to change before they can go in.

Wu Zhuo waited in line for most of the day just to change clothes. After he changed, he was arranged to go to the public dressing room in the backstage hall.

On the left are Pan Changjiang and Jin Yuting from the skit "Carrying Love to the End", and on the right are Han Hong and Hao Ge from the song "In That Faraway Place".

Wu Chao greeted these mainland seniors, and then quietly began to let the stylist play with his hair.

……

On New Year's Eve, thousands of families reunite.

After the news broadcast, most families turned on the TV and looked forward to this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Beijing. After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Huang Xiaoxiao refused to accompany her brother to set off fireworks and curled up on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

"Why don't you go out and have fun today? Don't you always go out and have fun until midnight in previous years?"

After washing the dishes, Huang's mother glanced at her daughter with some surprise.

"I won't go out anymore, my idol will be on the Spring Festival Gala this year!"

Huang Xiaoxiao moved her butt to the other side of the sofa.

"Idol? That guy named Jay Chou is on the Spring Festival Gala again?"

Huang's mother sat down next to her.

"You still care too little about your daughter. She has changed her idol a long time ago."

Mr. Huang, who was playing chess with his father nearby, looked up and said something.

Hearing this, Huang's mother's face darkened and she glared at Huang Xiaoxiao, "I don't care which star you like.

Don't let me see you buying those messy things again."

"I wouldn't buy anything randomly!" Huang Xiaoxiao was a little lacking in confidence.

Huang's father is a businessman and his mother is also a manager in a supermarket.

Coming from a well-off family, she never lacks pocket money.

Two years ago, she became obsessed with Jay Chou and bought a bunch of his posters and CDs.

There was a whole box of CDs and posters, and Huang's mother scolded her a lot for this.

This time, she was so obsessed with her new idol that she was careful and hid all the idol posters she bought under her bed.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is that she won’t tell her mom that she spent all her pocket money this year on buying peripheral products of her new idol.

"It's better this way. I don't mind you liking celebrities, but you'd better clear your mind."

Huang's mother gave a warning and then turned her eyes to the TV.

At this time, the Spring Festival Gala had already started for quite a while.

Currently performing are songs and dances by several cultural and dance troupes.

Festive and exciting music played, and the actors on TV danced to the music.

Huang Xiaoxiao and her mother were not interested in this song and dance.

Huang Xiaoxiao's grandfather, on the other hand, was watching with such fascination that he didn't even notice that the cannon cart on the chessboard had changed position.

"Eh? Wasn't my cannon here just now? And the car, you little brat, are you playing tricks on me?"

"Dad, how can you say that to me? Am I the kind of person who plays tricks? Your gun and car were clearly here just now."

"Get lost, you think I'm old and blind, don't you?"

"It's really here! At worst, this game won't count..."

When the singing and dancing ended, the old man looked away and immediately noticed that there was something wrong with his chess moves. The father and son started arguing with each other.

Huang's mother and Huang Xiaoxiao ignored them and kept their eyes fixed on the TV.

"every time"

"They are all strong in wandering and loneliness."

"every time"

“Even if I’m hurt, I won’t cry.”

Zhang Shaohan appeared on stage with the dance team. Her encouraging singing voice came through the TV, which made Huang's mother stunned.

“This song is really good!!”

Huang's mother sighed and turned to look at Huang's father, "Huang Dewei, remember to buy a CD of this song someday.

What’s it called?”

"Invisible Wings", the singer is Angela Chang, she is very popular now.

But still not as good as my idol."

Huang Xiaoxiao interjected.
