Chapter 390 Perhaps it is the progress of the times
"Ding! Donation of 200 million completed!"
"System real-time task progress 22.7594%!"
…
Suburbs.
Su Chen rode a shared bicycle back to his small, dim basement.
The top stars who seem to be living a god-like life in the eyes of outsiders are now living at the bottom of society like all the migrant workers.
This is why many people say that Su Chen is deliberately putting on a show to establish his persona.
"After working so hard for so long, I finally repay the old dean and his friends."
Su Chen stretched and threw himself on the bed.
A feeling of refreshment came over him, sweeping away all the negative emotions brought about by his recent high-intensity work.
Perhaps this is what those who practice Taoism mean by doing good deeds to gain peace of mind.
Su Chen took out his old mobile phone and opened the pesticide that did not require much configuration.
He has been busy completing the post-production of "Before Dawn" during this period and has had no time to take a break or have fun. Now he finally has time to have some fun.
Maybe because he had just done something satisfying, he played the game more skillfully and soon finished the battle with great satisfaction.
He did not choose to stop and go back to work, but continued to open the next one.
It was not until the early morning that Su Chen felt sleepy.
After he plugged his phone into the charger, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day at noon.
Su Chen opened his eyes and felt his mind clear, and he could think much more flexibly than before.
"Tonight is the Xixi TV Spring Festival Gala. I wonder if the popularity has been boosted."
He rubbed his eyes, picked up the phone beside him, and glanced at the hot search list out of habit.
Unexpectedly, the topic that topped all the hot search lists was actually about a famous celebrity holding a wedding for his dog!
However, the news about tonight's Spring Festival Gala was ranked at the bottom.
Su Chen clicked on the hot search about the Spring Festival Gala and found that netizens' reactions were very cold.
"Don't watch it, brothers. The finale of this year's Spring Festival Gala will definitely be making dumplings. I can see calluses in my eyes."
"+1! I don't know what those directors do. Can they make some interesting programs instead of just forcing funny jokes?"
"Queshi, if it weren't for Su Chen joining the Spring Festival Gala, I wouldn't even have the desire to click on this trending search!"
…
Xixi TV Spring Festival Gala was originally the artistic crystallization of television.
But nowadays, in the Spring Festival Gala, the true essence of the national quintessence has been repeatedly silenced, and the worship of celebrities and the exaggeration of exquisite life have long become the mainstream.
In the early days, the word "entertainment" was rarely used on the public screen, and people were more accustomed to using "literature and art", which implied that the mission was to improve everyone's aesthetic sentiment. The predecessor of Xixi TV was also honored as the "Literature and Art Department".
What everyone likes to watch are down-to-earth programs that can point out social difficulties, rather than robots that only promote the three mantras of "truth, goodness and beauty".
What's more, this is the era of information explosion, and various entertainment methods are emerging in an endless stream, which makes the position of Xixi TV Spring Festival Gala even more embarrassing.
“Well, maybe this is the progress of the times.”
Su Chen sighed, then got up and washed.
After washing up, he looked at the time and it was still early.
"Let's stock up on New Year's goods. After all, it's a traditional festival, so we still have to celebrate it meaningfully."
Su Chen put on a baseball cap and a mask that covered most of his face, covering himself tightly.
The former big star instantly turned into an ordinary person.
He did this to avoid attracting attention and causing trouble. This was the only way he could hide himself.
It feels like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes.
Su Chen went out and walked to the nearby domestic goods shopping mall.
As the festival approaches, everyone, like him, comes out to stock up on New Year's goods.
Only in a place like this can you truly feel the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
Su Chen pushed the shopping cart and cruised through the major merchandise areas to buy New Year's goods.
Before long, he filled his shopping cart with all kinds of New Year's goods.
Looking at the full shopping cart in front of him, Su Chen suddenly felt that he had finally entered a well-off society.
Even after becoming famous, his monthly living expenses were only 5,000 yuan a while ago.
This month, the system finally showed some humanity and rewarded me with double living expenses.
With ten thousand yuan in his pocket, it was enough for a single noble like him to live a comfortable life in the city .
Alas, the source of happiness turns out to be so simple!
After Su Chen paid the bill readily, he dragged bags of New Year's goods back to the basement in the suburbs.
After putting everything in place, he yawned, closed his eyes and planned to take a rest.
The footsteps of time pass quietly.
When Su Chen woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
He touched his stomach and felt hungry.
It’s time to put the ingredients we just purchased to work!
Su Chen got up and fried a few side dishes himself, which he then devoured with some soft and delicious rice.
After washing the dishes, he took a shower and felt more energetic.
"It's already seven o'clock in the evening."
It was not long before the Spring Festival Gala began. Su Chen packed up a little and went out to find a shared bicycle to go to the Spring Festival Gala venue of Xixi TV.
When he rushed to the venue, various news about the Spring Festival Gala finally became a hot search on major online platforms.
"XiXi TV's Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Rat is about to begin, and we invite all the audience friends to spend this evening with us!"
"The final program list of Xixi TV's Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Rat is released!"
"Su Chenxixi sang an original song on TV Spring Festival Gala!"
"Do you know what "Lanting Preface" and "Blue and White Porcelain" are?"
“…”
In the top ten hot search list, Xixi TV Spring Festival Gala and Su Chen successfully occupied the front row.
There was heated discussion among all sectors.
"Tonight's guest lineup is really exciting. With Su Chen Studio as the trump card, maybe this year's Spring Festival Gala will be worth watching!"
"Yes, yes, with Su Chen here, this year's Spring Festival Gala will definitely be completely different!"
"Haha, I don't agree with that. Go check out what's the top trending search for yourself!"
…
Yes, the number one hot search now is still not the Xixi TV Spring Festival Gala, but the negative news about Su Chen!
"Su Chen worked but didn't put in any effort during the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal!"
This is a rare opportunity to attack Su Chen. Fans of various celebrities will certainly not miss such an opportunity!
"I've been fed up with this guy for a long time. He relies on his little ability to show off everywhere, and now he's even pretending to be cool on the Spring Festival Gala!"
"I can't believe that Su Chen is so disrespectful to the Spring Festival Gala! He doesn't respect the audience!"
"That's right. No matter what, you are just a celebrity! How dare you act like a big shot at such an important event as the Xixi TV Spring Festival Gala!"
"I'm just a passerby. Seeing you all say this, I also feel that Su Chen is too arrogant. He actually sang his new song on the Spring Festival Gala. It feels like he's doing whatever it takes to gain popularity..."
"It's fine if they sing new songs, but they also name them "Lanting Preface" and "Blue and White Porcelain". As soon as I hear the names, I know they are old-fashioned songs. As a modern person, I can't appreciate them."
…
In a luxurious car, Yang Chaoyue sat in the back seat, looking at the various comments boycotting Su Chen on his phone with a smug smile on his face.
She has long been jealous of Su Chen's current popularity. They are all stars, so how can you have such a large amount of traffic just by doing nothing?
Because all the traffic has been sucked away, stars of her level can only attract attention by buying hot searches .
This feeling of disparity made her so angry that her teeth itched.
But now that Su Chen had been attacked and defeated, her unbalanced heart finally felt better.
Humph, Su Chen, you are too arrogant. You actually want to promote your new song through Xixi TV's Spring Festival Gala?
Tonight I want to see with my own eyes how your reputation plummets!
The curve of Yang Chaoyue's mouth became wider and wider, as if he had seen the scene of Su Chen's singing being a flop tonight.
…
On the other side, Su Chen, unaware that he was at the center of a public opinion storm, rode a shared bicycle in the cold wind and arrived at the Xixi TV headquarters building.
Several receptionists standing at the door in bare-legged clothes were impressed by his frugality:
In this age of decadence and dissipation, down-to-earth stars like Su Chen have long disappeared from the entertainment industry.
Because of this, they admired and adored Su Chen even more, and came forward to ask for his autograph and take photos with him.
Su Chen was not arrogant and readily met their needs.
Then, under the guidance of one of the receptionists, Su Chen came to the Spring Festival Gala venue of Xixi TV.
"Teacher Su Chen, you are finally here!"
As soon as he stepped into the venue, the chief director Yu Lei, who had been waiting for a long time, came forward to greet him personally with the main creative team.
Su Chen nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him.
When the stars sitting in the rest area saw this scene, they immediately felt envious and jealous.
This treatment is really too great. The chief director of Xixi TV Spring Festival Gala actually led people to welcome him personally. This is truly unique.
But they had to admit that Su Chen's talent was simply out of reach, like a fairy from the sky.
In the year since his debut, all of his works have been high-quality, popular and epoch-making masterpieces.
In this information entertainment age, Su Chen is still so popular that he deserves such courtesy.
At the same time, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun, who were sitting in the VIP area, were feeling extremely complicated.
We are all in the entertainment industry. His company, Xingyi, is so big, but no one can perform on the Spring Festival Gala.
On the other hand, on Su Chen's side, almost all the staff in his studio are on the battlefield. That's the difference!
Fortunately, their Xingyi Company has been deeply bound with Su Chen Studio, and they share the same fate.
The more popular they become, the more Xingyi Company will benefit.
But while they were feeling relieved, they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Why don’t you sing something else? Why do you have to sing your new song?
Wouldn't it be better to be safe and sing classic songs that have long been known and loved by the public?
They strongly disapproved of Su Chen's tightrope walking behavior, but they could not interfere. After all, it was Su Chen's freedom.
Now they can only pray that Su Chen can successfully overcome this difficulty.
In addition to people in China , there are also regions in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Korean Country, the Sakura Country, Annan, Malaysia, and other regions that have the custom of celebrating the Spring Festival.
The audience there also paid close attention to this Spring Festival Gala.
The most hotly discussed news, of course, is that almost all members of Su Chen Studio will be performing in the Spring Festival Gala.
This was almost impossible to happen before.
Obviously, most of the credit should be attributed to Su Chen.
Naturally, they also had various speculations about the original song that Su Chen was going to sing this time.
"Lanting Preface"? "Blue and White Porcelain"?
As soon as you listen to it, you can tell that this song is full of Chinese traditional elements, it is really exciting!
I just don’t know if I can make it as popular as my previous works while ensuring quality.
But don't be like some stars in the past who tried to tear down the Great Wall they built.
In the waiting room.
As soon as Su Chen walked in, he received a blessing:
"Teacher Su Chen, I wish you a happy new year!"
Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Deng Ziqi, Zhou Shen, Liang Bo, the upward boy trio, and teacher Xiaogang congratulated in unison.
"Why are you still here instead of preparing for the Spring Festival Gala?" Su Chen looked at them in surprise.
"Teacher Su Chen, we all agreed to come and wish you a happy New Year!" Yang Mi said in a soft voice with a sweet smile on her face.
"Yes, yes, if it weren't for your cultivation of us, we might have gone back to school now!" The three upward boys also expressed their gratitude.
"Teacher Su Chen, I will never forget your support and kindness." Zhao Liying bowed deeply to Su Chen with a sincere look on her face.
Zhou Shen, Deng Ziqi and Liang Bo also expressed their gratitude to him, and all kinds of compliments were thrown out at once. However, they all sounded so sincere!
Facing everyone's blessings and praises, Su Chen just smiled faintly and responded calmly.
I never produce entertainment products.
I am just a porter of entertainment products.
If you want to thank someone, thank the amazing geniuses from another time and space.
After another round of greetings, at Su Chen's request, everyone left and went back to put on their performance costumes.
…
Xixi TV Spring Festival Gala will be broadcast on time at 20:00 China Time !
The show opened with the song and dance "Happy and Auspicious Year".
When the live broadcast images were transmitted to the television screens of everyone who was watching the Spring Festival Gala, the whole country rejoiced!
The hot search list finally returned to Xixi TV Spring Festival Gala, and the king returned to his rightful place.
Although the popularity and evaluation of the Spring Festival Gala have been declining in recent years, it is undeniable that it has become a brand.
It is deeply engraved in the hearts of the Chinese people and has become an indispensable item during the Spring Festival.
If this program is missing in the future, everyone will definitely feel very uncomfortable.
Following the broadcast of the song and dance "Happy and Auspicious Year", various comments have appeared on the Internet.
"The costumes worn by the actors are very festive and each has its own merits, which is quite in line with the aesthetic taste of Chinese people. Thumbs up!"
"The song 'Happy and Auspicious Year' successfully rang the bell for the New Year and also wrote a new and magnificent chapter for China in the new year!"
“If nothing else, this star lineup is also quite strong, bringing together actors from three generations.
There are representatives of the older generation of artists, such as Tao Yulin, Zhang Yimou, and Li Xuejian, as well as young actors and actresses who are loved by the new generation of young audiences, such as Jia Nailiang and Wu Lei. ”
Xixi TV received rave reviews as soon as it was launched, which was in stark contrast to the previous negative voices on the Internet.
But in the director's room, there was no joy on the face of chief director Yu Lei.
