Lu Ming and his wives' table was naturally in the center of the first row next to the stage.
The main program forms of the gala are songs, dances, folk art, magic, acrobatics, humorous dramas, folk skits, etc.
The hosts are Xiao Bailong, a famous Donghai opera artist, and Gao Rong, the best host of Kunlun TV.
Xiaobailong has been passed down through generations and is a leader among the middle-aged generations in the folk art world.
The ratings of the variety show "The Tonight Show" that Gao Rong is in charge of have always been high, dominating the prime time.
However, neither Xiaobailong nor Gao Rong showed much respect for Lu Ming.
The same is true for many celebrities, most of whom come from economically developed regions and have some contempt for the warlords in the Northern Territory.
The two hosts were very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the evening party, especially the several time slots to highlight Montenegro's General Lu. After all, they were not the core figures of the company, not even the top executives, let alone the core. They were just excellent employees, so it was impossible for them to know that this Montenegro general was actually their big financial backer behind the scenes.
However, you still have to listen to the director, because the director represents the will of the financial backer behind the scenes, so you can only try your best to cooperate.
When Park Soo-na came on stage, she received warm applause. She was wearing a white suit, and her single eyelids were still so playful and cute. As she gets older, now she is twenty-one or twenty-two years old, she has become more mature and ladylike.
She sang an interlude of the hit TV series "Seahorse Ballroom" in which she starred. Her singing voice is certainly not outstanding, but this TV series was once very popular all over the country. Now as the heroine of the TV series, she appeared in her original style and sang with sincere emotions, which was even more touching than the original singer.
"I stayed in this bustling world, and many dreams finally came true..."
Even Lu Ming couldn't help but be moved, as if he had returned to his childhood when he watched this TV series with his mother and the theme song played.
Looking at Park Soo-na who was singing passionately, Lu Ming smiled and gestured to her.
When Park Soo-na finished singing a song, there was wave after wave of applause in the audience.
Park Soo-na bowed and left the stage. Seeing that the mobile camera was also aimed at the host on the stage, she stopped beside Lu Ming, bowed slightly, and asked cautiously, "Sir, do you still recognize me?"
Obviously, even when she was singing passionately, she was always paying attention to Lu Ming's every move.
Lu Ming looked at her and smiled: "How could I not recognize you?"
Park Soo-na's face immediately lit up with joy. "I, I wanted to go to Room 1 to see you today, but I was afraid that you had forgotten me, and Sister Pamela wasn't there, so I didn't dare go!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You are doing very well. I am relieved. If you encounter any difficulties, call your sister Pan."
At this time, the host Gao Rong on the stage was saying, "In our north, there are many outstanding people who make great contributions to society. Now, let us welcome General Lu Ming from Montenegro." She saw Park Soo-na bending over, smiling carefully and talking to Lu Ming.
Gao Rong was slightly startled.
Park Soo-na hurriedly said, "Sir, Madam, I'm leaving!" and walked quickly towards her table.
The camera then turned around and Lu Ming stood up and went on stage.
"General Lu, we are about to enter the year 954. At this time of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, I heard that you have done a good deed? You have donated tens of thousands of televisions to some rural areas in the Northern Territory? At this moment, I think there may be millions of people watching this gala through the televisions you donated. Do you have anything to say to them?" Gao Rong smiled and handed the microphone to Lu Ming.
In fact, Gao Rong wanted to ask, did you really pay for it out of your own pocket? Or did you plunder the people's money from the Northern Territory
If it was her variety show, she would definitely make things difficult for this warlord who seemed to have been high and mighty for a long time and had developed the kind of domineering attitude.
But this party was extremely important and she couldn't ruin it like this, otherwise, she was afraid that the financier behind the scenes would take her life.
And if you think about it carefully, even if the millions of dollars used to buy the TV came from Montenegro's taxes, from an economic perspective, this move is also a secondary distribution of social wealth. Using taxes from high-income groups to subsidize low-income people does not seem to be wrong. Instead, it is a real people-benefiting project.
But I always feel that there must be something fishy going on. How could there be such a good warlord
Facing the camera not far away, Lu Ming smiled slightly, "Spring is coming, and the new year is coming. Happy New Year to everyone! I believe that as the people of Zhongzhou help each other, our lives will get better and better, and every household will have a full granary! I hope that this day will come soon! I wish you all the best here!" He said to Gao Rong, "Let's continue watching the show!"
Gao Rong was stunned. She was expecting General Lu to speak at length, but he just said two simple words. She knew that the director must have switched the camera lens to the one pointed at her. Gao Rong showed a professional smile, "General Lu is also a master of poetry. Spring is gradually returning, and a new year begins. Well said, a new year, a new atmosphere. Next, let's watch the comedy performance - "New Year's Greetings"!"
In fact, the time planned was only 5 minutes, but Lu Ming thought about the situation when he watched TV in his previous life and decided not to nag.
Moreover, a separate blessing to the people under Heishan's rule had already been recorded and broadcast on the Heishan, Wanzhou and Nanping TV stations before the evening party.
At around ten o'clock, Gao Rong's face suddenly showed excitement when she was communicating with Huo Yunting off the stage.
It seemed like she even wanted the performers on the stage to get off quickly. There was a song and dance performance on the stage. When the music just stopped and the dancers were still maintaining their final dance poses, she had already hurried onto the stage, holding the microphone and said excitedly: "Dear audience friends, we have a mysterious guest! I..." She was so excited that she was incoherent and didn't know what to say. This was too rare for her.
The lights on the stage suddenly dimmed, and a beam of light shot down and landed beside the stage door. Xiao Bailong's excited and high-pitched voice rang out, "Now, welcome our mysterious guest! The winner of the Golden Olive Film Award for five consecutive years—the super super super super star—our queen—Nicole Hepburn!"
It is obvious that Xiao Bailong's hosting skills are much better than Gao Rong's. And it is unexpected that a famous traditional folk art artist would become so crazy. He is obviously a big fan of Nicole. Listening to his high-pitched voice and slightly trembling with excitement, it is his sincere admiration that can never be faked.
Nicole truly belongs to the whole world, and even in the four provinces of the Northern Territory, she has many fans.
Although Lu Ming had a vague guess as to who was coming, he was still a little surprised when he confirmed it was Nicole, who had not even informed him that she was coming.
Under the lamppost, a tall and graceful figure appeared, with slightly curly golden hair falling like a waterfall, delicate facial features like the virtual perfection in VR, and blue eyes that seemed to be naturally full of teasing and desire. She was wearing a black gauze evening gown, with towering peaks that seemed to be about to explode, and a soft waist that suddenly tightened, extremely slender, and a peach-like buttocks below. The perfect and extremely sexy curve was simply born to make men's hormones explode.
Nicole was once a top sexy actress, but starting with Captain Nicole, fans gradually got to know her true side.
From childhood to adulthood, I have never had a boyfriend.
I don’t know how many paparazzi followed her for a long time in order to expose this “lie”, but to no avail.
This included interviewing her classmates, friends, and relatives since she was a girl, etc.
Even the most gossipy magazines had to admit that Nicole had never had a boyfriend.
The wind direction gradually changed again. Gossip magazines and paparazzi began to hype the inside story that the sexy goddess was actually the Virgin Queen, which was more eye-catching and sold well.
As for the fans, they became even crazier.
"Nicole belongs to the whole world" is not just a slogan made up by fans, but a true reflection of their mood.
I’m afraid that when Nicole finally has a boyfriend one day, the probability of her being shot to death by crazy fans on the street is more than 90%.
Lu Ming also called her and felt that this publicity trend was not good. If it continued like this, she would never get married.
Nicole didn't seem to care.
At this moment, looking at his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Lu Ming smiled slightly, and slowly clapped along with the crazy cheers and warm applause from the audience.
Nicole gently stood in the middle of the stage and waved her hands: "Happy New Year, everyone! Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!" "Happy New Year!" At this moment, hundreds of millions of people in front of their televisions in the Central Plains region were cheering.
Xiaobailong and Gao Rong came to Nicole's left and right.
Now it was Xiaobailong's turn to be so excited that he didn't know what to say. He even stood next to Nicole, less than a meter away from her, looking closely at this queen of the film industry who was half a head taller than him and super sexy and beautiful beyond words. It was much more shocking than on the movie screen. She was so beautiful and sexy that it was breathtaking. Xiaobailong really felt like he was going to faint.
Gao Rong calmed her breathing a little, then asked with a smile, "Ms. Nicole, according to our chief director Mr. Huo Yunting, you came here uninvited. Is this true? Or, do you and the director team just want to give everyone, including me, a surprise? Ah, I'm a little excited and don't know what question to ask you?" Even as a woman, Gao Rong felt a little dizzy in front of this sexy and beautiful beauty.
Nicole is even more beautiful and delicate in real life than on the movie screen.
However, a thought suddenly flashed through Gao Rong's mind. Could the two ladies around General Lu be comparable to Nicole
The two ladies were equally stunningly beautiful, making it hard for anyone to even look at them closely.
Today was truly an adventure, an adventure of meeting all kinds of peerless beauties? It seemed like all the most beautiful girls in the world had come to this slightly outdated studio in Zhenjiang
"I like the people of Zhongzhou." Hearing Gao Rong's question, Nicole smiled slightly, "Happy New Year to everyone!"
When Gao Rong was preparing for the next question, Nicole smiled playfully again, "But I came to Zhenjiang to see my brother!"
"Your brother?" Gao Rong was a little surprised.
Nicole stretched out her slender white hand with an exquisite sapphire bracelet and pointed at Lu Ming in the audience. "Yes, my brother, General Lu Ming."
The camera lens quickly switched to Lu Ming's table. Even the cameraman forgot that only General Lu was in the frame.
Lu Ming smiled but said nothing, but he felt helpless in his heart, not knowing what this guy was up to.
"The person I admire most in this world is my brother, General Lu Minglu. He is a genius, a true genius! There was a time when I was so tired of the world that I wanted to commit suicide. It was his encouragement that allowed me to stand up again. Moreover, my brother wrote the script for Lost in Space and gave me the role of the captain!"
One after another.
Did Queen Nicole ever want to commit suicide
"Lost in Space", is it a script written by the warlord Lu Ming
For a moment, the dazed Xiao Bailong and the extremely shocked Gao Rong forgot the basic skill of how to respond to the guests' words.
Nicole didn't care about the host's complete loss of composure and continued, "My brother is a man with great ambitions. As a lawyer, he works for the poor. As a prosecutor, he sends evil demons to the gallows. He also promotes the innovation of police investigation technology. The royal academicians of the Academy of Sciences all ask my brother questions! The legal principles he proposed and perfected are enough to enter the history of the empire and become the most prestigious jurist in the history of the empire's legal community!"
"Oh, I forgot to mention that my brother became a fourth-level lawyer when he was 21 years old, which is a record that is impossible to break in the legal profession."
"At that time in the legal community, no lawyer dared to confront my brother! Any lawyer!"
Nicole's face was filled with pride.
"But my brother has such far-reaching ambitions that ordinary people like us can only watch his back."
"He may think that lawyers can't help everyone after all."
“So, he came to Jiangnan and Heishan again, and became an invincible military strategist and a politician who enabled millions of people to live a dignified life.”
"You say, is he a genius who can't be more talented?"
Lu Ming smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that Nicole was not exaggerating too much. But when he thought about it this way, he felt that he was not a genius, but a terrible monster.
"Brother, can I invite you to wish a happy new year to the audience in front of the TV together?" Nicole spoke in a low voice to Lu Ming's table, obviously asking for permission.
The studio was completely silent, and everyone was in shock.
Only Huo Yunting smiled bitterly in his heart. His mentor and his boss were so magical. Miss Nicole was not exaggerating.
Lu Ming smiled, stood up, picked up two glasses of wine, walked onto the stage, stood next to Nicole, and handed a glass to Nicole.
Looking at the camera not far away, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Sister, let's wish a happy new year to the people of the entire empire. May our country be prosperous and our people be well off, and peace come soon!" He raised his glass and said loudly, "The empire of fairness, justice, freedom and equality will live forever!"
Nicole nodded vigorously, looked at Lu Ming with admiration, and raised her glass towards the camera together with Lu Ming, "Long live the empire!"
Unconsciously, the mood was infected, and the guests in the audience stood up and raised their glasses solemnly, "Long live the empire!" "Long live the empire!"
Some people were so excited that their eyes filled with tears. In today's chaotic world, the royal family is fighting for power and profit, which has shaken the foundation of the empire. There are wars and military coups everywhere. Is there really someone who can turn the tide and make the empire, where everyone lives and works in peace and pursues fairness, justice, freedom and equality, come back? !
I really hope to see this day sooner!
Looking at General Lu on the stage, dressed in military uniform and full of confidence and power, some people had a gleam in their eyes.
Lu Ming and Nicole walked off the stage together. Lu Ming whispered, "You are setting me on fire, and you are also setting yourself on fire. Are you going to retire from the entertainment industry?"
"Yeah!" Nicole smiled playfully.
Lu Ming was helpless, but Nicole's unexpected result was that the effect of this New Year's greetings would be quite good, better than he expected.
He glanced at Liuli and others beside him, and knew in his heart that the "empire will last forever" that Liuli and Qing'e said solemnly, it is easy to imagine which empire this is.
