Soon, Chen Minhao ushered in his first short vacation in college—the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday. Other people's holidays are vacations, traveling around the mountains and rivers, visiting relatives and friends. And Chen Minhao’s vacation is work, work, work.
In just seven days of vacation, Chen Minhao had to shoot two commercials, accept an interview, and appear on a variety show. These are just appetizers, and Chen Minhao’s main meal is the National Channel’s Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.
From the beginning of September to now, Chen Minhao has basically not had a day off. It started with military training. After the official start of school, Chen Minhao went to class from Monday to Friday, practiced the basic skills of an actor, went to the library, and had to go to the national TV station to rehearse programs on the weekends.
Although he is very busy, Chen Minhao enjoys it.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen's father called Chen Minhao and asked, "Are you still used to staying in Kyoto? I heard that their mooncakes taste different from those here."
The point of communicating with others is not to understand what the other person says, but to understand what the other person wants to express.
Chen Minhao heard it: Dad Chen didn't discuss this topic with Chen Minhao about the taste of mooncakes. He just wanted to say that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is the reunion of people and the moon. Dad Chen was telling him to go home during the Mid-Autumn Festival. But these days during the holidays have been really packed with work.
Chen Minhao thought for a while and said, "Dad, I have to perform at the National Taiwan Mid-Autumn Festival Gala on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, and I have been in class recently. I am a little behind at work and have to catch up."
Before Chen Minhao finished speaking, Chen's father sighed and said, "Well, you should go home when you have time. Your mother misses you very much."
Ma Chen's voice came immediately from the microphone: "I miss Haohao, but you don't! The night before yesterday, you"
Father Chen’s routine is that if Mother Chen exposes his shortcomings, he will hang up the phone. Chen Minhao quickly said: "I will book two tickets for you. Come and watch it."
Dad Chen asked hesitantly: "Would this be too much trouble? Besides, I have to take care of those pots of flowers at home. Last time you said that the pot of orchids given to Xingxi would be of great use, so I just wanted to raise a few more pots. .”
Chen Minhao said categorically: "No trouble, your son has already performed on stage, so why not get two tickets? And you are coming over tomorrow for the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you don't worry about spending money, just fly back the next day."
Father Chen said with a smile: "You brat's wings have become stiff, so I dare to torment you. Okay, just do as you say."
After Chen Minhao hung up the phone, he first booked two tickets for Chen's parents and Chen's mother, and then immediately called Xiao He, the staff member who contacted him at the national channel: "Xiao He, you still have tickets for the party in your hand. ?"
Xiao He said: "Brother Chen, if you ask me a few days in advance, I will squeeze it out for you, but the party will start tomorrow. The tickets have basically been sent out, which is a bit difficult. But I will try my best to help You can ask my other colleagues.”
Chen Minhao asked: "Are there any scalpers? Money is not an issue."
"Brother Chen, please wait a moment. I'll find a place first. Don't hang up the phone." A minute later, Xiao He said breathlessly: "Brother Chen, I'm downstairs. It was inconvenient to speak in the office just now. But I told you in advance that I don’t have scalper tickets, and the scalper tickets are not circulated from my hand. However, there are a few scalpers who often contact me and want to get tickets from me, so I still know a few scalpers. of."
Chen Minhao smiled and said: "I understand, it's okay. Xiao He, money is not a problem. It is best to have 2 tickets in a row, but if there is no row in a row, separate ones are fine. Sorry to trouble you, Xiao He."
Xiao He said anxiously: "Brother Chen, I'll try my best. The scalpers may not have the tickets now."
After Chen Minhao hung up the phone, he sighed. I just said all the big words on the phone, but now I can only act hard. Because he knew that if he showed any embarrassment on the phone just now, Chen's parents and Chen's mother would never come because they would not embarrass their son.
During Chen Minhao's second rehearsal, assistant director Wang Shuan asked Chen Minhao if he wanted tickets to the party. Chen Minhao refused at the time. If God gives Chen Minhao another chance, Chen Minhao will definitely say: Please give me a stack of tickets.
Although Wang Suan proposed to join Chen Minhao's show, Wang Suan did not show any excessive affection towards him during the rehearsal. Although he had already refused before, for the sake of Chen's parents and Chen's mother, Chen Minhao could only bite the bullet and give it to Wang.
Wang Suan was happy when he heard this and said: "Xiao Chen, why have you changed your mind? Now I guess there is no front row, but since you have spoken, I will help you with the seats behind me. But next time, speak earlier. Xiao Chen, I Let me tell you, this ticket is just like a girl, you should know how to cherish it when you meet it. If you don’t cherish it, this ticket is just like a girl, and you will become a woman."
Chen Minhao said: "You are right." As long as you can get me the tickets, whatever you say is good.
At six o'clock in the evening, neither Xiao He nor Wang Suan called Chen Minhao. Chen Minhao was planning to use his trump card and post on WeChat Moments.
In the middle of editing the content, Wang Suan called and said: "I'm very lucky, I have two tickets for the first row." Just after hanging up the phone, Xiao He also called to say that he had got two tickets, but they were Back.
Chen Qiang and Kang watched the rehearsal more than once or twice, and they were not interested in the party at all. And Lin Xiuzi, Gao Dao, Zhang Xinyi and others were all unavailable. Chen Minhao gave the two back row tickets to Luo Jing based on the principle that I have spent money and cannot waste it.
Luo Jing was so excited that he stayed up all night. In his opinion, this was simply an important milestone in his dog-licking career!
September 30th, 9pm.
Chen Minhao is making final preparations backstage in the National Channel studio.
Chen Minhao has come here for rehearsals four times. There are many big-name celebrities, but everyone is relatively kind, and there is absolutely no behavior of using big-name celebrities. Several big-name stars were modest in their rehearsal and makeup orders, and they were also polite to the staff.
Chen Minhao was a little disappointed that the competition between several female stars vying for the C position did not happen.
Even during the rehearsal, Chen Minhao saw a girl on the staff accidentally spilling a glass of water on a female star named Tang Juan. The girl was so frightened that she cried. Tang Juan smiled and said, it's okay, don't cry.
But Chen Minhao never saw the little girl backstage again.
The National Channel's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is broadcast live, so all programs are stuck on time, minutes, and even seconds. Chen Minhao finally understood that in the past, when we hosted the Spring Festival Gala and Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, we chatted and joked, but in fact, we completely followed the script. Otherwise, if the previous hosts have let themselves go, it will be almost time for the final party, so will the finale show not be on
Therefore, a huge electronic screen was set up in the waiting area backstage, which scrolled and played the precise time to go on stage and the time to prepare for waiting.
Chen Minhao's last time was scheduled from 11:09 to 11:13. This time is naturally not the finale, but for a newcomer, it is not bad.
