The Common Man's Return in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 63 Spring Festival Gala Rehearsal

Sun Feifei clearly remembered that at the wrap party for the last filming of "The Wandering Swordsman", Ji Qingxu had "tricked" everyone at the table.

At the wrap party, Ji Qingxu was in a dazed state after drinking his first glass of baijiu, seemingly drunk but not quite. Everyone thought he would get drunk after the second glass, but he was still in the same state after the second glass.

So everyone refused to believe it and kept drinking one cup after another. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late. There was no one sober at the table anymore. The next day, everyone was complaining about how cunning Ji Qingxu was.

"I'll stop drinking after this bottle is finished; you have things to do tomorrow."

"it is good."

After finishing their second bottle, the two got up and walked outside.

......

Upon arriving at the hotel, Ji Qingxu half-carried Sun Feifei to her room door, opened the door, and carried her into the bedroom.

Seeing Sun Feifei's seemingly drunk state, Ji Qingxu raised an eyebrow. On the way back, Sun Feifei had gotten "drunk" halfway there.

After staring at her for a while, Ji Qingxu smiled and reached out to her to start unbuttoning her clothes. Just as the beautiful scenery was about to be fully revealed, Sun Feifei suddenly grabbed Ji Qingxu's hand.

Seeing this, Ji Qingxu asked in feigned surprise, "Feifei, you're not drunk?"

"I'm drunk."

"Then I'll continue."

Seeing Ji Qingxu pull his hand away and prepare to continue, and feeling the coolness in front of her, Sun Feifei slapped him hard in embarrassment and annoyance. "That shameless guy!"

"You bastard, you're trying to take advantage of me."

Ji Qingxu said in a serious tone, "Feifei, you misunderstood. I meant to make you more comfortable to sleep at night. I heard that wearing underwear to bed at night is bad for your health."

Upon hearing this explanation, Sun Feifei's lips twitched. "You actually make a lot of sense."

"Should I thank you?"

"You're welcome. My teachers taught me from a young age that helping others is a virtue."

Ji Qingxu glanced regretfully at Sun Feifei, "Now that you're awake, Feifei, I'll head back."

"Wait."

Ji Qingxu turned around with a smile, "And...oh..."

Seeing Sun Feifei rush over and hug him, Ji Qingxu instinctively hugged her back.

Two and a half minutes later, Sun Feifei, her face flushed, pushed Ji Qingxu away, saying in embarrassment and annoyance, "You..."

Ji Qingxu chuckled and rubbed his fingers together. "I couldn't help myself. Shall we continue?"

Sun Feifei gave Ji Qingxu a reproachful look, "Go back, I'm sleepy, I want to go to bed."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu clicked his tongue. "Sister Feifei, you're all about killing but not burying. Fine, I'm leaving now. You should get some rest."

Seeing Ji Qingxu turn around and stride away from the bedroom after speaking, Sun Feifei was stunned for a moment. She didn't come back to her senses until she heard the door close.

Looking towards the room door, Sun Feifei's face turned bright red. She slammed the blanket down, "Ji Qingxu, you bastard, you..."

Damn it, what a bastard! Do I have to take the initiative? I'm already in this state, and yet... Sun Feifei glared at the door and stormed into the bathroom.

......

Glancing at the door behind him, Ji Qingxu walked towards the elevator with a smile.

Although Ji Qingxu was also very tempted, he managed to restrain himself.

In the same place (such as a film set), you can maintain ambiguous relationships with two or more women, but you must try to avoid sleeping with two or more women at the same time, otherwise it is easy for some messy situations to arise.

Of course, Ji Qingxu wouldn't refuse if these women took the initiative.

It has to be said that Sun Feifei has a really good figure, with long legs and a curvy figure. She also graduated from the Beijing Dance Academy. Wow, girls who practice dance are a treasure.

Ji Qingxu, who was about to step into the elevator, paused for a moment, then turned around and walked towards another room.

......

"Qingxu?"

I can't sleep because I miss you so much.

Hearing this, Han Chae-young, who had been half asleep, broke into a happy smile. "You...wait..."

"Let's not wait any longer, let's go to sleep early."

"..."

Han Caiying, who was a little dazed, suddenly woke up when she smelled a different familiar perfume on Ji Qingxu. This guy, just now with that woman Sun Feifei... um, no, did he reject her?

Thinking of this, Han Chae-young's lips curved into a slight smile.

"Come."

Hearing Ji Qingxu's instruction, Han Caiying glared at him, thinking, "You naughty guy, always playing tricks on people." However, remembering the perfume she had just smelled, Han Caiying obediently followed Ji Qingxu's instructions.

Smiling, Ji Qingxu patted the obedient Han Caiying in front of him, his expression somewhat smug. "I really am a 'love saint'."

......

Since that night, Sun Feifei has resumed her previous "cold-eyed" attitude and doesn't care about Ji Qingxu, as long as it doesn't affect filming.

On the contrary, Han Caiying gained some unexpected benefits from Sun Feifei's "coldness." She became extremely enthusiastic. As soon as she recovered, she immediately came to find Ji Qingxu and was very obedient to him. If he wasn't afraid of scaring her, Ji Qingxu would have liked to do something more exciting.

However, given Ji Qingxu's constitution, even during ordinary play, Han Caiying would need to rest for several days each time she came, and that was only under Ji Qingxu's control.

Soon it was the end of October, and the first rehearsal for the 2004 Spring Festival Gala (Year of the Monkey) officially began.

......

"boom!"

As soon as Ji Qingxu stepped into the backstage of the studio, he was surrounded by a cacophony of noises, feeling no different from a vegetable market.

The only difference is that you can see all sorts of familiar faces.

There were about ten people gathered together who performed crosstalk, including Hou Yaowen, Shi Fukuan, and Feng Gong.

Comedy sketch actors Huang Hong, Guo Donglin, Guo Da, Gong Hanlin, Cai Ming... these familiar faces will appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage year after year.

The singers include Han Lei, Yang Kun, Tan Jing, Tian Zhen, Sha Bao Liang, Lin Yilun, Bafei Zhao, A-Du, Milk Tea Lun, Qi Qin, Karen Mok...

......

"I won't bother you any longer."

Ji Qingxu, who had just come out of the private room, breathed a sigh of relief. He had actually seen someone... It turned out that the news on the internet in his previous life was true. If he had the chance, Ji Qingxu would have liked to kowtow to him and become relatives.

"Let's go to the next private room."

Upon hearing Xie Xiaodong's reminder, Ji Qingxu immediately followed.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Please come in."

"Teacher Zhao, it's been a long time."

"Hey, Dongzi, long time no see. Are these your partners for this show?"

"Yes, Mei Ting, Liu Zhi, Chen Hao, Huang Yi, and Ji Qingxu."

"Hello, Teacher Zhao! ×N"

"Hello everyone, haha, you're all handsome men and beautiful women, especially this young man, he's really good-looking."

"You flatter me, Teacher Zhao."

When Ji Qingxu saw the three familiar faces of Benshan Wang, Fan Debiao, and Gao Xiumin, two skits immediately came to mind: "Selling Crutches" and "Selling Cars." "Keep bluffing, keep bluffing."

Ji Qingxu and his group exchanged a few words and then left, as the next group of visitors had arrived.

After leaving the private room, Ji Qingxu glanced at the number 1 on the door. Benshan Wang's status and popularity were indeed impressive.

......

After looking around, Ji Qingxu and the others found an empty spot and stood there waiting to be summoned.

Logically speaking, given Xie Xiaodong's qualifications, he should have been assigned a private box. After all, he has participated in the Spring Festival Gala for 11 consecutive years, except for 1994 when he terminated his contract with Hong Kong City Company and 2001 when he was a member of the first mainland delegation to visit Taiwan as an outstanding representative of mainland youth. This year marks his 12th year.

However, during the recording, Ji Qingxu chatted with him and learned that there weren't many private rooms at the back of the studio, and since Ji Qingxu and his group's performance was the first one, Xie Xiaodong voluntarily gave up his private room to the older people, those with more participants, and compatriots from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

It has to be said that in this day and age, these "older generation" artists are indeed different from the artists of the future. They don't pay so much attention to the formal "status" because their own strength speaks for itself.

Just now, when Xie Xiaodong led Ji Qingxu and the others to greet each private room, everyone inside stood up and greeted them warmly as soon as they entered. Moreover, in the short time that Ji Qingxu and the others stood there, a bunch of people came over to greet Xie Xiaodong.

......

"Teacher Xie Xiaodong! Teacher Xie Xiaodong!"

Hearing the announcement over the loudspeaker in the distance, Ji Qingxu immediately patted Xie Xiaodong on the shoulder, "Brother Xiaodong, is it our turn?"

Xie Xiaodong, who was talking to someone, immediately ended the conversation and looked into the distance.

Where is Teacher Xie Xiaodong...?

"Here, over here."

"Get ready, the rehearsal is about to begin."

"it is good."

After responding, Xie Xiaodong said with a smile, "Let's go, let's wait in that passage over there."

Ji Qingxu and the others followed Xie Xiaodong toward the stage passageway in the distance.
