Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 72 Lantern Festival

Mango TV’s annual Lantern Festival Gala is broadcast live at 7:30 p.m. He Jiong, Wu Xin and Li Rui, three hosts from Mango TV, take to the main stage to liven up the atmosphere.

Afterwards, one singer or crosstalk show after another took turns to perform.

Gu Jingyi was sitting in the lounge and saw Ren Jialun, who was still an unknown at the time, performing "The King of Love Songs" with Han Dongjun, Zhang Yunlong, Xu Haiqiao and others.

They sang really hard, but the reactions from the audience and fans online in the live broadcast room were just average.

Popularity is reflected in one's status. The glorious "Little King of Nanchen" is just a rising star who has just made a name for himself.

The role of Prince Guangping in "The Glory of Tang Dynasty" made him famous in the circle and gradually entered the audience's field of vision.

After the song ended, magician Deng Nanzi and his partner Henry came out to perform a magic show.

Next up was the well-known group Phoenix Legend, who took the stage and performed “The Most Dazzling National Style”.

This song is very popular this year. Every night there is always a group of aunties using this song as background music for square dancing.

As soon as they came on stage, the audience started singing in chorus.

This was followed by a crosstalk, and after the crosstalk was Hua Chenyu’s song “I Care About You”.

After the song was sung, there were only two more songs left before Gu Jingyi's performance.

"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the door, and the staff began to remind: "Teacher Gu, please go backstage to prepare. There are two more performances, and then it will be your turn."

"it is good"

Gu Jingyi had just nodded when the accompanying makeup artist came over to touch up his makeup. After both of them checked in front of the mirror, he followed the staff to the area leading to the stage to wait.

At this time, the show on the stage had just reached "Dynamic Youth", and several male actors including Ren Jialun, Zhang Yunlong, Xu Haiqiao and others went on stage again to sing.

They sang very hard indeed, but the audience seemed to lack interest.

It can be seen that Mango TV has really run out of ideas for this year's Lantern Festival Gala. Since they really can't get enough people together, they just brought together several male actors who have been on stage to sing together again.

Gu Jingyi recalled a sharp comment on the barrage before, "What a bunch of stupid people are doing," and couldn't help laughing.

What a strong attack power!
"Are you Brother Jiang Chen?"

Arale, dressed very cutely, blinked her big, lovely eyes and was waiting in the wings with the staff.

"It's Brother Jingyi," Arale's parents were also there and quickly corrected him.

Some actors in the circle actually mind being called by their character's name instead of their real name. Isn't this just saying that they have a "cold body"?

"It's okay, you can call me Jiang Chen."

Gu Jingyi waved his hand, not caring at all.

He took a photo with little Arale and continued to wait for his debut.

Similar to the New Year’s Eve concert, the later the star takes the stage, the more famous he or she is.

Gu Jingyi is ranked second to last, and this order of appearance can indirectly reflect his current status and popularity in the circle.

What Mango TV values ​​most is popularity and traffic, and Gu Jingyi’s current traffic is indeed high.

With the finale of "A Little Thing Called First Love" airing next week, "Idol Producer" has become a phenomenal variety show. From the end of 17 to March 18, Gu Jingyi reigned supreme.

Not to mention enjoying big-name treatment at the Lantern Festival Gala, even at the New Year's Eve concert, Gu Jingyi could appear behind TFboys.

About ten minutes later, after Alalei finished her performance and was interviewed by the hosts, she was led off the stage by Shen Mengchen's hand. At this time, Teacher He on the stage also began to introduce the next guest who was about to take the stage.

He Jiong glanced at the cue card and introduced seriously, "The next guest is a new friend of our Lantern Festival Gala, but also an old friend of Mango TV. He has been a guest on Mango TV many times over the past year and has presented countless classic scenes for the audience."

"Dear audience members here and watching on TV, please give a round of applause to our Gu Jingyi!"

Teacher He’s introduction was indeed a bit exaggerated, and Gu Jingyi was speechless after listening to it.

Since his debut, he has only appeared on "Happy Camp" twice.

One time I went there with the crew of "A Little Thing Called First Love", and the comedy film star Mr. Shen Teng was also recording "Happy Camp" with me.

Mango TV didn't give him many shots, including the opening scene and the game segment. Gu Jingyi only got eleven minutes of footage after the show aired.

The other time was this year when I went with Zhang Yixing. He brought the members of Class A and Class B of "Idol Producer" to "Happy Camp" together.

Although "A Little Thing Called First Love" had just aired at the time, its popularity and data were growing rapidly. Furthermore, Gu Jingyi's super topic check-in was around 5 at the time, and he had several years of overseas training.

Mango TV, which often deals with cold snaps, bought shares in Gu Jingyi in advance, giving him more time. Including the opening and game segments, Gu Jingyi's solo cut lasted 19 minutes.

But no matter how this is calculated, it has nothing to do with Mr. He's frequent visits and contributions to classic scenes.

Even "A Little Thing Called First Love" is exclusively broadcast on Penguin Video and has nothing to do with Mango TV...

When Gu Jingyi got on the stage via the elevator, he was complaining wildly in his heart.

However, when he stood on the stage again, Gu Jingyi quickly got into the state.

Looking at the ocean of black and gold in the audience, fans raised their cheering light signs one by one.

Gu Jingyi felt at peace in his heart. He picked up the microphone and began to sing "Slowly Falling in Love with You".

"Books always love to write about the evenings of unexpected joy, the bicycle rides, and the dialogues between him and her."

"Boys love to see a girl wearing white clothes." "There are many romantic scenes. Many people are sad and part ways amicably."

“It would take days to finish.”

Wearing a light blue shirt and a gray knitted vest, Gu Jingyi once again reproduced the look of "Jiang Chen". He sang the lyrics gently with a faint smile on his face.

The audience below the stage were waving glow sticks to cheer for that figure.

The performance continued, and Gu Jingyi performed as well as ever in the first half. He adjusted his in-ear monitor and continued singing the second half with the microphone in hand:
"I will slowly like you, slowly become close to you, slowly talk about myself, slowly walk with you, slowly I want to accompany you, slowly give myself to you."

"I like you slowly, remember you slowly, accompany you slowly, and grow old with you slowly."

This clip, hailed as the most classic from "Slowly Falling in Love with You," reappeared, the ten "slowly" words embodying each scene of love. The audience smiled with happiness, lost in the fantasy of love.

Finally, Gu Jingyi sang the last line of the lyrics with drooping eyelashes and a serious look:
“Because slowly is the best reason~”

He gave a gentle smile, looked up and captured the camera again to complete his final farewell.

After singing a song, Gu Jingyi cooperated with Teacher He to play some interactive activities.

He will announce the lucky users who will watch the Lantern Festival Gala simultaneously and post comments to participate in the event.

He read out the names of more than a dozen users in succession.

"Congratulations to Gu Jingyi's girlfriend outside the entertainment industry, Mango Snow Leopard, Strawberry Meatball Soup, ..., and Gu Jingyi's little cutie for winning the prize."

As his name was read out, the lucky audience outside the TV who was drawn was also celebrating excitedly.

North shadow
Zhang Ling jumped up from her stool with a cry of "Ouch!" "I got it! It really got me! Coconut, you're right. Using a comment generator, you can post a lot of comments in a short time!"

She ran to the other side, hugged Zhou Ye's waist and started to act coquettishly: "Xiao Ye, how come you are so smart~"

"Okay, okay, it's a good thing that I got it," Zhou Ye said coquettishly as the sweet girl hugged him and the corners of his mouth curled up wildly.

She lowered her hands from building the Harry Potter Lego blocks and naturally placed them on Zhang Ling's waist. She exerted force with her arms, deepening the hug.

"What gift did you win? Look how happy you are."

"It's Jingyi's autographed Polaroid!" Zhang Ling's eyes lit up instantly.

Zhou Ye felt as if she saw a large dog wagging its tail wildly. She teased it a few times and then said nothing more.

For a girl who doesn't chase stars, it is really difficult to understand the thoughts of star-chasing girls.

At this time, she didn't know that the flag she had set would soon be broken. On the screen, Gu Jingyi's performance continued.

When she heard the new song, Zhang Ling immediately ran to the tablet and sat down properly.

"The distance between you and me is too great to be seen at a glance"

"All these complicated emotions are inexplicably because of you"

The stage has been set up, and several desks have been placed on the stage to simulate a classroom scene.

Gu Jingyi stood by the desk, singing the lyrics softly.

"The difference between you and me is just that our backs are facing each other."

"The moment when parallel lines intersect is a miracle that only you can experience"

The big screen at the back also lit up, and a mixed clip of "A Little Thing Called First Love" came through.

"Every time again, you slowly approach me"

Chen Xiaoxi wrote a love letter to Jiang Chen to confess her love, but she became more and more courageous after being rejected again and again.

"Tell me all the evidence of my heartbeat, those memories are very clear."

"No one can deny that your name is written all over my heart."

Behind the big screen, a paper airplane slides down from the corner of the table, and the camera zooms in on the wing: "Chen Xiaoxi, come on!" (a classic line from the play).

“The gap I thought was just the back to back
"The boundary between the two worlds is crossed by turning around"

Famous scenes from the drama, such as the first kiss on the rooftop, carrying someone on the back in the snow, and confession in the hospital, have been made into black and white films to present old stories.

“I miss you, I miss you”

"You slowly approached, I admit this is the proof of my heartbeat"

(Jiang Chen was jealous, but was gradually melted by Chen Xiaoxi)
"This time it's my turn to walk towards you. This isn't a prank."

"You are my most difficult problem to solve"

Gu Jingyi, who had been standing by the desk, also walked slowly along the aisle between the desks. He picked up the paper stars on the ground (echoing the wishing bottle plot in the play).

The blackboard was filled with mathematical formulas, and fans of the drama immediately recognized that these were the examples that appeared when Jiang Chen was tutoring Chen Xiaoxi.

The stage performance continued, and the scene suddenly changed.

After growing up, Jiang Chen, melted by Chen Xiaoxi, stood in the glass greenhouse and said loudly, "Chen Xiaoxi, let's make peace."

Gu Jingyi on the stage also sang, "This time it's my turn to walk towards you, this is not a prank"

"You are a problem that I cannot solve"
