Chapter 64 One is possible, two are not.
They stopped some distance from the stage.
After chatting with the staff for a few minutes, Jie Xiaodong came back. "Come on, everyone, follow me. Take a deep breath, inhale, exhale, do it a couple more times... Don't be nervous. We rehearsed very well before. Just sing as we practiced. Sing boldly. Remember, your posture, gestures, and expressions must be correct. If you forget, look at me and I'll give you instructions. Understand?"
"Understood! ×5"
Apart from Jie Xiaodong, who had participated in the Spring Festival Gala before, the others were participating for the first time. Therefore, Jie Xiaodong was extremely worried during this period. In his words, it was even more tiring than when he participated in the Spring Festival Gala himself.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me...lights...camera...?"
Hearing the conductor's voice coming from the stage, Ji Qingxu took a deep breath and then gently exhaled.
"The first rehearsal for the 2004 Spring Festival Gala (Year of the Monkey) has officially begun."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xiaodong clapped his hands lightly and gave everyone a thumbs-up. Ji Qingxu and the others nodded seriously in response.
"Knock knock knock!"
As the music started, Ji Qingxu and the others exchanged smiles, and then everyone walked onto the stage with bright smiles on their faces.
Heaven sends blessings, Earth sends blessings
I'm here to bring you blessings.
Send blessings to every place
Bringing blessings to every household
......
May every family be happy, and every person be happy!
After singing the last line, Ji Qingxu and the others watched as Xie Xiaodong ran towards the back. Just then, the hosting team also jogged out from the back door.
The moment he ran through the door, Ji Qingxu muttered to himself, "How sloppy and shabby."
Honestly, judging from the clothes worn by the people, the stage design, and the costumes that Ji Qingxu saw, it wasn't as luxurious, exquisite, or beautiful as some company annual meetings in later years. The beginning of the Spring Festival Gala gave Ji Qingxu the feeling of a "countryside grand stage."
Thinking that the others had only sung for a little over a minute, Ji Qingxu felt that he might have misjudged the situation. He estimated that the Spring Festival Gala stage probably wouldn't be of much help to him. The audience might not even have had a chance to see his face before the show ended.
Damn, all that was for nothing.
"Very good, that was a great performance."
Hearing Xie Xiaodong's praise and seeing the other girls looking excited, Ji Qingxu also followed suit. Well, Ji Qingxu wouldn't dare say she could sing better than them, but her acting skills were definitely on par with theirs.
"Come on, let's go wait over there for a while. We can leave once the staff tells us everything is okay."
Led by Xie Xiaodong, Ji Qingxu and the others went to the front row of the audience to wait.
About half an hour later, the staff said there was no problem, and Ji Qingxu and the others left the padding station.
Back in the car, Zhang Zhong asked curiously, "Uncle-Master, how was the performance just now?"
"It's alright."
Seeing Ji Qingxu's indifferent expression, Zhang Zhong blinked and turned around. "Shall we go back to the film set?"
"Okay, let's go back."
Glancing at the TV center receding into the distance behind him, Ji Qingxu breathed a sigh of relief. On the bright side, at least he had the opportunity to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, which made him much luckier than most people in the entertainment industry.
......
After the first Spring Festival Gala rehearsal ended, it was already November.
The filming of "Beijing, My Love" is more than halfway done, and the weather in Beijing is gradually getting colder.
Even though the show was filmed by TVB, the meals delivered to the crew each day weren't very nutritious. It was a little better at noon when the temperature was slightly higher and the crew was more punctual with mealtimes, so we could get something warm. But the meals were usually cold in the evening.
So Ji Qingxu took Han Caiying out to eat every day after work. After enduring several days of cold boxed lunches, Sun Feifei took the initiative to join in.
After the three of them had a hot pot meal that day, Han Chae-young sighed, "I'm so sad. I'm going back to Seoul soon, and I'll never be able to eat such delicious food again."
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed through Sun Feifei's heart. This woman was finally leaving, and she would never see her again.
"If you want to eat here, take a plane here. It only takes two hours. I'll take you there."
"Really?"
"More real than real gold."
"Then let's pinky swear."
Seeing Ji Qingxu and Han Caiying making a pinky promise, Sun Feifei subtly pursed her lips.
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go back to the hotel."
"it is good."
The three of them then walked back to the hotel together. The place where they ate hot pot was not far from the hotel, less than two kilometers away.
......
"Knock knock knock!"
Hearing the knock on the door, Ji Qingxu curiously went over to take a look, then smiled and opened the door.
"Is Feifei unable to sleep at night because it's cold?"
Faced with Ji Qingxu's teasing, Sun Feifei snorted, "All you do is talk nonsense."
After watching Sun Feifei finish speaking and walk into the room on her own, Ji Qingxu smiled and closed the door.
"Is something wrong, Sister Feifei?"
Sun Feifei looked around the room, then turned and asked, "Will you go to Little Stick's often in the future?"
Upon hearing this question, Ji Qingxu laughed and said, "Why would I go there? It's a country where even getting meat is difficult. Would I go looking for trouble?"
Thinking of Ji Qingxu's appetite, Sun Feifei almost burst out laughing. However, remembering the purpose of her visit tonight, Sun Feifei asked with feigned surprise, "So, what about you two in the future...?"
Ji Qingxu replied with a smile, "If she wants to eat meat, she can fly over."
Eating meat? Is this meat even authentic?
"So she's willing?"
Ji Qingxu smiled and sat down on the sofa. "Why is she unwilling?"
Seeing Sun Feifei's somewhat surprised expression, Ji Qingxu smiled but didn't explain anything.
Although Han Chae-young was born in Seoul, she immigrated to the United States with her parents when she was in elementary school and grew up in the United States. She returned to Korea to become an actress at the age of 18. The two had talked about this issue in private before. Han Chae-young was very carefree, which was exactly what Ji Qingxu wanted.
"That......"
Seeing that Sun Feifei wanted to ask something, Ji Qingxu reached out and pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
Two and a half minutes later, Sun Feifei couldn't help but punch Ji Qingxu, and Ji Qingxu finally let go of her.
"Huff huff huff...Are you trying to suffocate me?"
Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Feifei, you lack training. As an actor, you must have good lung capacity. This is related to whether we can speak our lines with full force and clear pronunciation..."
Before Ji Qingxu could finish speaking, Sun Feifei couldn't help but slap him, saying, "You're just talking nonsense."
"Don't believe me? Oh, right, I almost forgot, Sister Feifei, you're not a professional."
"You look down on me?"
"No, Fei Fei, although you're a bit lacking in acting skills, you're better at posture and stage design."
Sun Feifei's face darkened upon hearing this. "So that's why you put your hand on me?"
Ji Qingxu smiled and released his hand. "I couldn't help it."
Before Sun Feifei could continue speaking, Ji Qingxu interjected, "Sister Feifei, I'm not a good person."
Hearing this, Sun Feifei was taken aback for a moment, then pursed her lips, "As if anyone cares."
Seeing Ji Qingxu smile and raise an eyebrow at her, Sun Feifei, who was sitting in Ji Qingxu's arms and hugging his neck, blushed and struggled to get up.
Seeing this, Ji Qingxu quickly pulled her back, "Just kidding, don't be angry."
"Do you often joke like this with girls?"
"It's not often; I've only met two or three girls so far."
Upon hearing this, Sun Feifei couldn't help but retort sarcastically, "Are you talking about knowing each other or sleeping together?"
Is there a difference?
"Tch, you're such a bad guy."
"Hey, I'd be letting you down if I didn't do something bad."
"You waah..."
A few minutes later, Sun Feifei weakly punched Ji Qingxu a few times, "Bastard."
"Um?"
Seeing that Ji Qingxu was about to come closer again, Sun Feifei quickly covered her mouth.
Upon seeing this, Ji Qingxu burst into laughter.
Hearing Ji Qingxu's laughter, Sun Feifei wanted to punch him a few times, but she was afraid he would sneak up on her, so she could only glare at him hatefully.
Ji Qingxu smiled, glanced at the time on the wall, and picked up Sun Feifei.
Sun Feifei quickly called out, "Wait, what's wrong?"
"Take a shower, it's getting late, I have to get up to film tomorrow."
"I......"
"Sister Feifei, are you planning to kill without burying again?"
"..."
Seeing Sun Feifei pursing her lips, unsure of what to say, Ji Qingxu smiled and picked her up, carrying her towards the bathroom.
After entering the bathroom, Sun Feifei whispered, "Put me down."
Ji Qingxu smiled and put her down.
"Could you please leave first? I'm not used to it..."
"No, I saw on the news a few days ago that there will be a water shortage in Beijing this winter, so we need to conserve water."
"..."
That bastard, he just spouts whatever comes to mind.
