The straight man in the entertainment circle

Traditionally, after the Spring Festival Gala, there will be program selection, which is divided into language programs, singing programs and other programs.

In the language program, Zhao Hongsi and Jia Teng's "I Helped" is far ahead. This is normal, because this is said to be Zhao Hongsi's last program in the Spring Festival Gala, and the quality itself is good, so netizens naturally voted for him.

The selection of song programs is very fierce.

The first place is "Blooming" by Zhou Siyuan, with 23.68 million votes.

The second place is Lin Li's "Chinese Kung Fu" with 23.34 million votes.

The third place is Leng Ying's "Related to Me" with 20.96 million votes.

The fourth place is Jin Xuan's "A Dream of Five Thousand Years" with 19.5 million votes.

Fifth place is Chen Qingqing's "Peach Blossom Smile" with 17.53 million votes.

The sixth place is the song medley of "Lin Girl", with 15.9 million votes.

…………

Although language programs are more popular with the audience, they are far less popular than song programs in the voting process. After all, song programs are all big stars and have greater appeal than sketch actors. Fans are also keen on such voting and competition. .

Therefore, the number of votes for songs is generally much higher than that for language programs. Zhao Hongsi and Jia Teng's "I Helped" is far ahead in the number of votes, but the total number of votes has not yet exceeded 20 million.

There are already three songs that have exceeded 20 million votes.

Zhou Siyuan is known as the "last king" and has not participated in the Spring Festival Gala for nearly ten years. This time, his fans will naturally take the first place for him and support the scene.

This is Lin Li's first appearance on the Spring Festival Gala, and fans are working hard to sound the horn for Lin Li and prove his rise. , plus his songs are really inspiring, his martial arts moves are very exciting, and he has a lot of votes from passers-by, so he can get the votes with Zhou Siyuan.

Leng Ying is also a little queen now, she is at the peak of her powers, and her fans are working very hard.

There is not much difference between the votes of the three people. Among them, the votes of Lin Li and Zhou Siyuan are even closer, with only a difference of more than 300,000 votes.

Although the gap of more than 300,000 seems to be quite a lot, compared to the nearly one billion viewers of the Spring Festival Gala, the gap of one million votes can be said to be negligible, let alone more than 300,000.

This is just one day's vote count, and the selection of the most popular programs in the Spring Festival Gala will last for a week.

Therefore, the final ranking of songs cannot be seen at all.

On the other hand, before the release of the "Grandmaster" movie, the format was not as good as another comedy and science fiction blockbuster.

But when Lin Li sang "Chinese Kung Fu" on the Spring Festival Gala, the trailer for "The Grandmaster" played on the big screen behind him.

The trailer and Lin Li's on-site actions impressed the audience deeply. Lin Li's singing of "Chinese Kung Fu" also ignited many people's yearning for kung fu.

The Spring Festival Gala has a huge audience and is more useful than any publicity. Therefore, on the first day of its release, "The Grandmaster" ranked third in terms of film schedule, but ranked first in the box office on the first day.

The box office reached 280 million on the first day!

The other two films also exceeded 200 million, and there were three other films that exceeded 100 million. The single-day movie box office exceeded 1.5 billion, a record high.

There are so many high-grossing films that only appear during the Spring Festival.

The movie "The Grandmaster" also has extremely high ratings, with the highest rating among all the movies in the Spring Festival season, with a score of 9.2!

After everyone watched the movie, they left messages on the ticket purchase app.

"Lin Li is so handsome, I want to be beaten by him!"

"Lin Li is also an action director. He is so awesome! He is indeed the man I like!"

"The action design in this movie is really amazing. It's more elegant and unconstrained than the action design in Yuan Ping's previous movies. This should be Lin Li's credit!"

"Lin Li and Chen Qingqing's acting skills are really good. They are completely different from those in "Young You"."

"The two of them really match each other!"

"After all these years, China has finally released another martial arts film that you can watch! Tears!"

"I give this movie a 10 out of 10!"

…………

The excellent performance on the first day helped "The Grandmaster" start to increase its film schedule on the second day, ranking first among all films in the Spring Festival.

On the morning of the second day of the second lunar month, Lin Li was on the hot search again.

Hot search title: Lin Li breaks Guinness record.

Click to enter, news content: On the evening of February 12, Lin Li’s performance at the Spring Festival Gala was impressive, but what was even more shocking was the broadcast behind Lin Li.

"The video that Lin Li broadcast, I slowed down three or four times before I could barely keep up. It was really fast!"

"I suddenly had a bold idea..."

"I also suddenly understood why so many girls like Lin Li..."

"Eh... you are so dirty!"

"If you think they are dirty, it means you are not pure either!"

"Why can't I understand what you are talking about?"

…………

Following Lin Li's trending search, the video of Lin Li's Spring Festival Gala broadcast went viral on the Internet. Many people muted the video and added many other prank lines, such as swearing, and netizens Love using this prank video to attack.

It was as if he had summoned Lin Li to curse on his behalf, which felt very satisfying.

Taking advantage of this wave of popularity, Lin Li surpassed Zhou Siyuan and ranked first in the selection of Spring Festival Gala programs today.

That afternoon, Lin Li was preparing for the evening movie promotion in the lounge of a movie theater in Shanghai, when he suddenly received a call from Zou Lin, the director of the Spring Festival Gala.

"Lin Li, are you free tomorrow?"

"I have to go to Sioux City tomorrow to promote a movie. What's wrong?"

"Oh...I forgot, you have a movie coming out, nothing happened. I just asked you to have dinner last time..."

"Hi, it's okay, director, you're welcome."

"The video of you helping me read the manuscript that night has become a hot search."

"Oh? Really? I'll see about it later."

"Well, there's something else I want to tell you."

"You say."

"On the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, we CCTV will have a Lantern Festival Gala. I am still the director. I want to invite you to sing a song. Originally, someone from CCTV should contact your agent about this, but I'm afraid you are busy and won't agree. , so I have the shamelessness to tell you in person."

Lin Li thought for a moment and said, "I'm fine on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but I've been very busy recently and may not have time to rehearse."

"It doesn't matter. As long as you come and walk out on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival Gala is not as strict as the Spring Festival Gala. There is no need to rehearse many times. You are so professional, so just come to the rehearsal once."

"Well, okay, I will go there then. You can talk to my agent about other things."

"OK."

"Are there any requirements for the performance?" Lin Li asked.

"Haha, it's best if you create a new song, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't. As long as it fits the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival Party, we can trust you."

"Then I'll think about it and get back to you later."

"Can."

Zou Lin was about to hang up the phone when Lin Li suddenly asked: "Wait a minute, Director Zou, I want to ask...who are there at the Lantern Festival Party?"

"Oh...most of them are people who have been to the Spring Festival Gala. We are now voting for our favorite programs in the Spring Festival Gala. We will invite some of the top-ranked artists, and there are also some programs that were not used in the Spring Festival Gala, but are actually good."

"Will Chen Qingqing go?"

Zou Lin was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Li ask this, and then said: "Chen Qingqing seems not to be on the list we are considering. Her Spring Festival Gala song is very good and the ranking is also good, but she is an actor after all. I don't know if she has any new talent when inviting her." programme……"

Zou Lin thought for a moment and couldn't help but said: "If... you are willing, it would actually be good for the two of you to perform a show together to attract attention... Of course, if you don't want to, forget it."

"Oh, I know, I'll get back to you later."

"Okay, let's just say this first."

…………

After hanging up the phone, Lin Li first opened Weibo and checked the hot searches. Lin Li wanted to see what hot searches Zou Lin mentioned about the video he broadcast.

However, Lin Li was speechless after reading the comments on the Internet, and immediately changed to another page to read.

Lin Li was watching the special topic on the Spring Festival Gala program selection on the CCTV website.

At this time, Lin Li's "Chinese Kung Fu" program fell to second place again in the audience selection.

After Lin Li overtook Zhou Siyuan in the morning, Zhou Siyuan's fans immediately increased Zhou Siyuan's votes, and Zhou Siyuan returned to first place.

The votes of others have increased by nearly 10 million, but their rankings have not changed much.

Over the years, most of the top artists in the Spring Festival Gala program selection will appear at the Lantern Festival Gala.

Although the Lantern Festival Gala is not as good as the Spring Festival Gala, its ratings are also very high. Most artists will participate if they receive an invitation.

But Chen Qingqing is really an exception, because the reason why Chen Qingqing can participate in the Spring Festival Gala is, to put it bluntly, because of the songs Lin Li wrote for her. If you want to invite Chen Qingqing to the Lantern Festival Gala again, you can't just let her come on stage to talk, you have to let her perform. What a program.

Now Chen Qingqing has no show.

Lin Li was looking at his mobile phone in the lounge, thinking about it, when Qingqing, who was also promoting the movie, suddenly came over.

"Brother Lin, what are you looking at? You are so lost in thought... Oh, the Spring Festival Gala program selection... Hey... why are you in second place!"

Lin Li smiled and said: "Zhou Siyuan has too many fans, and they are all new forces on the Internet."

"The difference is not much, you can surpass him." Chen Qingqing said firmly.

Lin Li glanced at Chen Qingqing and remembered that she did not promote the movie and she bought him hot topics, so he said: "Don't canvass me for votes, I don't need it."

Chen Qingqing smiled and said: "This is a small scene, and I don't need to take action."

Chen Qingqing suddenly saw her ranking and said in surprise: "Yeah, I'm still ranked fifth, not bad, not bad, I didn't embarrass you, Senior Brother Lin."

Lin Lidao: "The director of the Spring Festival Gala just called and said he wanted to invite you to the Lantern Festival Gala."

Chen Qingqing was stunned and said: "Why did I tell you? He didn't tell me...ah...I know, he asked you to write a song for me? Otherwise, there would be no show if I went."

Lin Lidao: "I do have this idea."

Chen Qingqing looked at Lin Li and said in surprise, "Are you really going to write a song for me again?"

Lin Li looked at Chen Qingqing and suddenly said: "Qingqing..."

Chen Qingqing was stunned: "Ah...what's wrong?"

"I think...our one-year agreement can end early."

There was a trace of uncertainty in Chen Qingqing's eyes, and her expression suddenly became serious.

"What does it mean?"

"I like you." Lin Li said.

Chen Qingqing felt that Lin Li's words "I like you" were echoing in her head, and she felt dizzy for a moment.

"You...you like me?"

Chen Qingqing said blankly, as if in disbelief.

"Yes, I like you. I'm sure. If you still like me, I think... I'm ready to accept this relationship."

Chen Qingqing's chest rose and fell sharply, and her cheeks turned red. She took a long breath and laughed, but she still couldn't restrain her excitement when she spoke:

"I...of course...I said...I liked you before, now and in the future!"

Chen Qingqing's voice was choked with sobs, and there were gleaming tears in her eyes.

"I've finally waited for your words!" Chen Qingqing said with tears in her eyes.

When Lin Li saw Chen Qingqing like this, he was moved and pitied, and said, "I've kept you waiting for a long time."

Chen Qingqing shook her head and said, "No, it's much earlier than I expected."

Lin Li smiled and said, "You have to be mentally prepared. There is no chance that I won't be as good as you think."

Chen Qingqing smiled and said: "That would be great. If you are really imperfect at all, then I wouldn't be like you are now. I'm afraid I won't be worthy of you."

Lin Li couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "This is the most perfect flattery I have ever heard in my life."

"Who is flattering me? I mean it."

Chen Qingqing sat down next to Lin Li. She was particularly close to Lin Li this time.

"Senior Brother Lin, weren't you talking about the Lantern Festival Party just now? Why did you think of confessing your love to me?"

Lin Li said: "Because I want... let's go to the Lantern Festival Party together."

"go together?"

"Yes, sing a song together."

"This...has anything to do with your confession?"

"Yes, because I think we can make it public after we finish singing."

Chen Qingqing was stunned and said: "Brother Lin, you are now a big star who can compete with Zhou Siyuan. It can be said that you are on the rise. If we are together publicly...aren't you worried?"

Lin Li smiled and said, "Aren't you also a big star? Are you worried?"

Chen Qingqing looked at Lin Li affectionately: "I'm different from you. It's because of you that I entered the entertainment industry. If you mind, I can even quit the entertainment industry right away."

Lin Li was deeply moved when he heard Chen Qingqing's sincere words. He stretched out a hand and held Chen Qingqing's jade hand.

Chen Qingqing lowered her head, glanced at Lin Li with a smile, then turned her palm over and interlocked with Lin Li's fingers.

"I once said that if one day I get to be with someone, I will explain it to my fans and the public. I don't think I am an idol star and I don't need to be afraid of falling in love."

"Those who really like me, I believe they won't leave me just because of who I choose to be with. Those who want to lose their fans because I announce my relationship, that's up to them, I don't care at all!"

"What kind of man am I if I don't even dare to give myself a girlfriend!"

After hearing what Lin Li said, Chen Qingqing nodded vigorously and said, "Okay! I listen to you! Let those people scold me! I'm not afraid!"

Lin Li smiled and said: "With me here, what are you afraid of? If someone dares to scold you in the future, I will scold you back!"

After hearing this, Chen Qingqing's eyes filled with ripples. She kissed Lin Li's cheek suddenly, then held her head high and smiled and said, "After you finish promoting the movie, you have to teach me the song. I don't want to go to the Lantern Festival Party to embarrass myself!"
