Chapter 62: Behind-the-Scenes Stories
In Qingdao City, Shandong Province, which has a certain reputation in China, the city is also increasingly focusing on enhancing its international reputation. As the Spring Festival, which Chinese people attach great importance to, is approaching, Qingdao City plans to host a grand Spring Festival Gala this year, inviting some Qingdao-born stars to return to their hometown to record this audio-visual feast.
As a native of Qingdao, Song Qian has received an invitation from her hometown TV station, which is also a recognition of her achievements abroad. Moreover, in the past, her parents had only seen her on some entertainment programs in South Korea, and this time they have the opportunity to see Song Qian appear on their local TV station while sitting at home. It's believed that for her family, it's also a kind of comfort!
When the team arrived at the TV station, Song Qian and others followed their agent into the backstage of the TV show recording. They also met the director in charge of this episode, Han Ankang, who was pretending to be a spectator. It wasn't until then that they realized how the Spring Festival Gala was actually recorded behind the scenes.
For an entertainment white, he can recognize very few stars here. On the other hand, Song Qian, also a Chinese, knows many celebrities from Qingdao. For example, this guy in front of us who looks a bit shifty, Song Qian can call out his name at once.
Hwang Jang-lee, also known as the "Korean Bruce Lee", is one of the guest stars invited to Cheung Chau. Although he isn't from Cheung Chau, he has some understanding of Soong Chiang, who was a captain of a Chinese women's team in South Korea.
When Huang Jing was signing an autograph for Song Qian, he found Han Ankang staring at him up and down. He felt that although he wasn't very handsome, being stared at by a man made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
Even the yellow neck that signed its name looked a bit strange, looking up and down, feeling like there was nothing wrong with itself, smiled and said: "Brother, I know I'm very handsome, but you're staring at me like this. I'll feel embarrassed too!"
Just as Huang Ya and Song Qian were curious, Han Ankang suddenly thought of where he had seen this person before. With a very happy expression, he said: "Haha, I finally remembered who you are! You're the actor in that movie called 'Stone', the little thief who was blocked in the sewer. I watched that movie and laughed all my dormitory brothers to tears. Ah, what's your name again?"
For Han Ankang, this entertainment white lotus, there are not many stars that can be remembered by him. But for Huang Bo, it's been several years since the movie was released, and now it's being brought up again, he doesn't know whether to be happy or angry. What makes him even more speechless is that, logically speaking, he shouldn't have many young people recognizing him in Huaxia. As a result, today he actually ran into one!
Perhaps fearing misunderstanding, Song Qian's face turned red as she said in a low voice: "Senior, Han Ge is an entertainment idiot. He can count the number of stars he recognizes on one hand. Please don't misunderstand him, it's really not intentional."
With this explanation, Huang Bei also secretly sighed, looking at it like this, are the brothers still happy to recognize him for each other?
However, Huang Jian, who has always been friendly to people, could see that Han Ankang was indeed in a state of distress earlier. He smiled and said: "I'm Huang Jian, nice to meet you. But I'd like to ask, which celebrities can you recognize?"
Han Ankang also knew that not remembering someone's name was a bit embarrassing, and seeing Huang Ji seem to not mind his previous words, he looked a bit embarrassed and said: "Huang brother, hello, my name is Han Ankang. I don't usually pay much attention to the entertainment circle, and the movie I mentioned earlier, I actually saw it with a group of brothers in my dorm when I was in university."
"I still have a deep impression of your role as a thief at that time, and it's also the comedy film that made me laugh so much while growing up. As for who I know, I think everyone else knows the people I know. They are all stars I knew when I was young, such as Liu Tianwang, Chen Longge, Jet Li and others. To be honest, I don't know many other stars, sorry about that!"
When Huang Bo heard that there were three people reported by Han Ankang, he was also speechless. Seeing such a boy who knew so little about the entertainment circle, it was really a freak.
Just seeing Han Ankang following Song Qian and others, Huang Bo leaned in with a weird expression and said: "Brother, how did you end up mixing with them? Can't be that you're usually only concerned with female celebrities? And specifically paying attention to these South Korean mixed-bloods? Not bad! Representing Chinese men and gaining face!"
Han Ankang naturally understood the implication of these words and smiled wryly, "Huang Ge, you've misunderstood. Song Qian and I are just friends. A few days ago, they came to my house as guests and saw that I was spending the New Year alone, so they asked me to accompany them here to take a look. To be honest, this is actually my first time seeing how the Spring Festival Gala is recorded."
But what he didn't know was that his words had confused Huang Ya instead. Several girls came to his house as guests and even invited him to this backstage area where outsiders shouldn't enter. How could this relationship not be misunderstood?
The yellow-necked man who felt a bit interested asked directly: "Among these five chicks, which one is your girlfriend? Otherwise, why did they go to live in your house?"
Han Ankang responded happily, "No, I don't have a girlfriend yet! They are all friends I met while working in South Korea. The other day they stayed at my place and were helping some of my friends from South Korea deliver things."
"My profession is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. If Brother Huang has any problems in this regard, he can call me at any time. However, it seems that I said something wrong, so please don't mind, Brother Huang!"
Yes! As a doctor, how can you let others find him for no reason? Isn't this waiting for people to get sick?
Ke Huangbei heard that Han Ankang was a Chinese medicine practitioner, and seemed to think of something, saying indifferently: "You can let these girls replace them to give you gifts, I suppose your friends in South Korea should not be ordinary, right? However, your medical skills must be very good, right?"
It just so happens that there is a patient here, why don't you come with me to take a look. She's a friend of mine who I get along well with, also from the entertainment industry, but I'm not sure if you know her!
Upon hearing that there was a patient, or rather, a friend of Huang Ze's, Han Ankang spoke with great confidence about his medical skills: "As long as it's not too troublesome an illness, I'm sure it'll be fine. Is your friend a woman?"
From Huang Ya's expression, Han Ankang could see a little bit. In response, he turned red with anger and said: "You can do it! You want to take revenge so quickly? I'm a married man, and they are also married with children. We just get along well because we often meet each other in daily life."
It just so happened that she was also participating in this Spring Festival Gala recording, but two days ago she caught a severe cold and her throat had not been getting better for the past two days. She went to the hospital to see a doctor, but it didn't have much effect. Isn't the program about to be recorded soon? I'm worried that it will affect her performance, looking at you, young man, you seem to have some real skills, and I also know that traditional Chinese medicine is stronger than Western medicine in treating certain diseases. Take a look and ask you to come over, can you think of any good ideas?
Huang Jing led the way, followed by Han Ankang and a curious Song Qian, to a nearby rest room where they saw a female singer with a worried look on her face.
This guy is also a half-fellow countryman with Han Ankang, seeing Huang Bo walk in, squeezed out a smile and said: "Bo, how did you get five of these beautiful sisters in such a short time?"
Before Huang Ji could speak, Song Qian respectfully said: "Hello Senior Sun Le, I am Song Qian, the captain of South Korea's Function Combination team. These are my four teammates. This is Senior Sun Le, my favorite singer when I was a kid, and I grew up listening to her songs. I didn't expect to see Senior Sun today, please give us more guidance in the future."
In the South Korean entertainment industry, everyone is very careful about seniority. When they heard that the female singer in front of them was a senior, the four girls who followed Song Qian also politely came forward to pay their respects. This made Sun Le somewhat embarrassed. However, having also heard of Song Qian's achievements in South Korea, she couldn't help but praise her for doing well there.
After waiting for Huang Ya to finish chatting with these women, he introduced Han Ankang. With Song Qian's previous introduction, Han Ankang quickly remembered that the female singer in front of him, who was not in a good mental state, was the singer of "Wish You Peace", a song that almost every Huaxia person had heard. So it wasn't unexpected that Han Ankang could remember her.
It was learned that Han Ankang was invited by Huang Yao to come over and specifically treat her illness. Sun Le, who was worried about the uselessness of hanging IV drips, also happily let Han Ankang take a look at her. Without mentioning Han Ankang's medical skills, she couldn't disappoint Huang Yao's kindness. Of course, there was another reason, which was that Song Qian and others seemed to trust his medical skills as well.
As soon as Han Ankang took her pulse, he quickly said that she had pharyngitis due to a severe cold. Because of the recent cold weather, and Sun Le also sang fast songs with high notes, increasing the burden on his throat, which is why even taking anti-inflammatory medication didn't work.
"For this condition, Han Ankang quickly said: "Sister Sun, I didn't bring any medicine with me this time. If there was medicine on my body, a dose of Chinese medicine would greatly improve your current state. However, if you believe it, I can give you acupuncture to alleviate the discomfort in your throat and make it possible for you to record a few shows."
Hearing Han Ankang say this with great confidence, Sun Le also smiled and said: "Alright, then I'll trouble you."
After getting Sun Le's consent, Han Ankang took out a needle package from his wrist and pulled out a few silver needles. He asked Sun Le to sit still and not move. A few quick jabs of the needle into Sun Le's throat made him jump in fright, then he gently pinched for a few moments.
It wasn't until Sun Le discovered that the silver needle had returned to Han Ankang's hand that she remembered the silver needle hovering over her throat earlier. This guy was really bold and daring, wasn't he?
