1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 173 84 Spring Festival Gala

On January 84, 1, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China was separated from the People's Bank of China. The four major state-owned banks officially appeared.
In order to commemorate the occasion, Xia Tian specially opened a savings book.

On the 7th, a commentary article in the Literary Gazette, "Eliminating Spiritual WR and Liberating Artistic SC Power," brought the previous action to a climax.

A late spring cold snap in the art world~
But Xia Tian didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, these things had nothing to do with him, so he was always careful.

Since 84, summer has been busy.

Busy with the Spring Festival Gala and the crew of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Last year's first Spring Festival Gala was undoubtedly amazing. Although there were many incidents such as the sudden ringing of bells to cut off the program, people from all walks of life gave it high praise.

So this party must continue, and it must be held in a grand manner!

So at the end of last year, Director Huang Yihe found Xia Tian - it wouldn't work without a smart guy like you!

Since Xia Tian served as an "adviser" for the productions of Journey to the West, Red Mansions and the first Spring Festival Gala, many directors and leaders of CCTV have noticed Xia Tian.

Who doesn’t want to “take advantage” of the famous teacher Jinghongke? If nothing else, at least they can get some popularity!
The young and old men in Yanjing are waiting to see news about him.

Xia Tian’s name is in the preparatory group, and the popularity has increased by 30%!

But in the summer I felt that I was just busy for nothing.

In the past two years, he has had a real experience - the time is not right and no big changes can be made.

For example, the stage art, lighting, photography, etc. of the Spring Festival Gala, if the hardware conditions and soft aesthetics are not up to that level, you can’t make big changes yourself.

For example, although I can promote the program to a certain extent, that’s all.

It's like swimming in a big river. Even if you have extraordinary powers, you can only swim back and forth. Can you reverse the flow of the river?
If the situation gets really serious, you might end up cleaning up your own pollution!
Don't think that there is any explanation for this thing. The real explanation is people, specific people...

To be honest, I am able to thrive in this industry and have passionate debates with various seniors in the newspapers, and I am still doing well. Aunt Deng deserves the most credit!

Sometimes, just a few words from her can make summer “free from cause and effect”!
During the winter vacation, I followed the Spring Festival Gala team for more than a week, and was mainly responsible for the creativity of the program.

At the end of January, the chief engineer went to the south to inspect the cities at the forefront of the reform and opening up to see the results and stabilize people's hearts. He also proposed that "to develop the economy and modernize, we must start with transportation and communications..."

It can be said that there is a lot of room for glasses to make contributions in the future!

As the saying goes, what goes up must come down. There are many people in the world who are sharp-minded and daring enough to fight and fight.

So after the chief engineer went south, "going into business" became a popular term!
Look, even Fang Yan and Ye Jing have “gone into the sea”!

The two grandsons quit their jobs and opened a restaurant!

I felt a little aggrieved, and because I had been questioned by the uncle in the hat many times at my workplace when I was dealing with electronic watches, I felt embarrassed.

In short, I quit my job and started my own business!

They made their family members angry, but they still confidently said they were "responding to the call" or something like that.

And just like that, on the last day of January, their "Tianfu Restaurant", which specializes in Sichuan cuisine, opened.

Xia Tian brought Milan and the others to congratulate and gave red envelopes, complaining as they gave them: "No, do you know how to pick a date? Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and you open today?!"

The dialect is stubborn: "You don't understand, it's a good day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new!"

Xia Tian: What a joke! Just wait until your crappy restaurant is closed down!

……

The next day, New Year’s Eve, CCTV.

Xia Tian was watching several monitors in the studio while also conveying some information.

He arrived in the morning and had lunch in the CCTV cafeteria. The Spring Festival Gala would begin in a few hours.

It seems that I won’t be able to eat dumplings with my family again this year.

Because of last year’s great success, CCTV attached great importance to the Spring Festival Gala this year, and several sub-stations were keeping an eye on it.

Everyone was busy, with more than 200 people working behind the scenes.

Take some time off in the summer and sit in the corner.

Then Director Yang Jie came over and asked, "Are you slacking off here?"

"Hey, Aunt Yang, Happy New Year!" Xia Tian greeted.

Even the hard-working crew of Journey to the West has to take a holiday during the Chinese New Year.

Some time ago, when I was giving New Year gifts to friends and elders in the summer, I went to Director Yang's house.

They are all affordable food and daily necessities, and also a piece of cloth bought by Xia Ma!

It can't be used up, it can't be used up at all.

Director Yang happened to be filming a TV series in another place and missed the rush to buy cloth, so I gave her one~
While we were talking about the filming of Journey to the West, Director Wang Fulin also came.

The two famous directors started chatting, and Director Yang said with a bit of sourness: "Xia Tian may have run out of patience, Director Wang, don't use him sparingly~"

She hated Xia Tian for not joining the Journey to the West crew and instead helping the Dream of the Red Chamber crew. She wanted Director Wang to treat her like a donkey!

Xia Tian: Aunt Yang, we don’t do this. The crew of Journey to the West is out of town, I don’t have time to go!
Fortunately, Director Wang was a kind and honest elder. The more Director Yang encouraged him to use Xia Tian, ​​the more he praised Xia Tian and said that Xia Tian helped a lot. In the end, Director Yang was so angry that he rolled his eyes!

Well, the impatient one should let the patient one to deal with her~
But now it is the Spring Festival Gala after all, and in the end everyone still talked about returning to the Spring Festival Gala.

Because Xia Tian participated in the work as a member of the planning team, both directors asked Xia Tian for details.

Xia Tian simply talked about the specific preparation process...

The time soon came, and with the countdown, the staff quickly took their positions and started the live broadcast!
First, two CCTV hosts, Jin Ye and Lu Jing, gave a speech. They said, "Dear viewers, friends, and compatriots, tomorrow is the annual Spring Festival. We represent..."

"Today's party will still be broadcast live!"

The camera turned to the Spring Festival Gala studio. It still had the same small round tables as last year, but this year the studio was much larger. The round tables formed a semicircular arc around it. There were dozens of tables, all filled with people.

However, the stool is still a folding chair made of stainless steel and red artificial leather - this is too low!
You know what, this is popular now and much more popular than those solid wood chairs.

Xia Tian said he didn't understand.
Mr. Xia, Ms. Xia, and Dachun's family were all watching in front of the TV at this time.

And Milan was also staring at the small TV in his room.

Everyone immediately noticed Xia Tian, ​​who was sitting in the second row, drinking soda and talking to someone next to him.

Dachun immediately pointed out: "The female comrade who was talking to Xia Tian was Director Yang from the Journey to the West crew!"

Xia's parents had met Director Yang before, after all, they had come to their house, but it was the first time for Chun's parents to meet him, and they were so excited - their son was also acting in a TV series, and it was "Journey to the West"!
Although he had makeup on his face - there were big bumps on Dachun's cheeks and forehead, and he didn't look human - he was playing the role of an immortal official in the Imperial Stables!

Then the two CCTV anchors began to introduce the hosts of this year's Spring Festival Gala, including old friends Ma Ji and Jiang Kun, and then actress Jiang Lili, who probably played the role of Liu Xiaoqing last year.

Last year, she won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 6th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards for her performance in "Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple".

In addition, there is one host each from Taiwan and Hong Kong, which can be said to be a grand gathering of both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong!

The camera was focused on a table of people at the side of the stage. No one knew what they were talking about, but they looked so happy.

I don’t know the male host from Taiwan, but the female host from Hong Kong is called Chen Sisi, one of the “Three Princesses of the Great Wall” and is as famous as Ms. Xia Meng.

The host this time also reflects the style of this Spring Festival Gala, which can be regarded as a fusion of the cultures of the three places...

Ma Ji said, "Shall we also introduce to everyone the actors who are coming this time?"

"it is good!"

Several people stood up and went to different tables, asking everyone to introduce themselves.

There are old faces like Wang Jingyu and Li Guyi, as well as "newcomers" like Jiang Dawei, the thick-browed and big-eyed Zhu Shimao, and Chen Xiaoer, who only appears once in a thousand years...

The two were a little shy when introducing themselves, so Ma Ji immediately said, "Young man, speak louder when you introduce yourself!"

"Zhu Shimao!"

"Chen Peisi!" He stood at attention~
Next to me is Xia Tian, ​​"I am Xia Tian from the Yanjing Film Academy."

As soon as Xia Tian finished speaking, for some reason, everyone around him started laughing.

Xia Tian: No, what are you laughing at? Everyone else is clapping, but I’m the only one laughing? I’m a handsome guy, but I can laugh by myself!

Chen Xiaoer: Mr. Jinghongke, you are acting like an adult again~
The fact that this pair of partners were able to come here has something to do with Xia Tian - Chen Xiaoer's father, Chen Qiang, is a veteran villain actor and is very familiar with Director Huang.

At that time, they had already become famous for acting in movies, so Director Huang invited them to rehearse a show.

The program had not been finalized at that time, and during the preparatory group meeting, they met the famous teacher Jinghongke from Yanjing City.

Chen Xiaoer was very familiar: "Oh, I see a living person!" He came up and grabbed Xia Tian's hand and wouldn't let go.

Xia Tian wants to give him a shoulder throw!

Later, the two of them were worried about what show to put on, and it was Xia Tian who reminded them: "Just do a skit like you normally do! Not too long or too short, with a tight structure, and some jokes!"

The so-called sketches are short pieces that are usually rehearsed by students and actors in performing arts schools.

The two thought it was feasible, so they made one, which is "Eating Noodles"!
During the rehearsal of this program, the preparation team laughed so hard that they fell over.

However, some people criticized the skit for being "meaningless", but Xia Tian supported it wholeheartedly: "Not everything has to be meaningful. It's Chinese New Year, isn't it good to make the audience happy?"

Because of the different ideas of the two groups, the show has not yet decided whether to go on the show. However, Zhu Shimao and Chen Xiaoer have a good relationship with Xia Tian.

Until this afternoon, director Huang Yihe made the decision: "I will take responsibility if there is any problem. Let's go on the show!"

When the young man in a beige suit and glasses stood up and said, "I'm Zhang Mingmin from Hong Kong," Xia Tian couldn't help but take a few more glances.

He is also a famous patriot.

Director Huang has put a lot of effort into this Spring Festival Gala, which brings together the three places from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Especially last year, Xiao Ri tampered with the history books, which made us very angry.

Huang Zhan from Hong Kong also wrote a song "My Chinese Heart" out of indignation, but he asked many people to sing it but no one was willing to sing it. Finally, it was Zhang Mingmin who stepped forward to sing it.

Director Huang heard it by accident and invited him.

Later, there is Mr. You Benchang~
Because it was a pantomime, they didn't speak, but had a notebook with three big cursive characters "You Benchang" written on it.
In addition, there is Ma Lan, one of the Five Golden Flowers of Huangmei Opera, who played Yin Wenjiao, the mother of Monk Tang in Journey to the West.

Director Yang likes her very much and went to great lengths to invite her!

There are also Peking Opera actors, Yue Opera actors, crosstalk actors, people from sports, literature and art circles, and so on.

Well, these people used to laugh at summer!

Hmm? It seems like they are all related...

The director gave instructions and several hosts quickly came on stage. Jiang Kun looked at the watch and counted down: "Eight, seven, six, five... two, one!"

Ma Ji: "Okay, the Spring Festival Gala officially begins!"

Several hosts said a few auspicious and witty remarks, and then the first program began - a chorus of several people, including Jiang Dawei, Li Guyi, and Zhu Mingying, each sang a line of "New Year's Greetings Song".

Then there were acrobatics, children's game competitions and children's programs.

Then comes the highlight, Ma Ji’s “Cosmic Brand Cigarettes”!
