Chapter 16 The only highlight of the 91 Spring Festival Gala~
Along the way, Xia Tian discovered a phenomenon - it seemed that there were more cars?

Before, bicycles were the most common vehicles on this road.

There are cars, but they are few and far between. There are more trams and buses.

In the past two years, the number of vehicles has gradually increased, but it is still sparse.

But when I came back this time, there seemed to be more cars on the road.

Xia Tian pointed to a car moving to the side and asked, "Is this a taxi?"

Milan glanced at it and said, "Of course, Xiali. There's a saying in Yanjing now: If you want to eat, get a mini-bread. If you want a lami, get a Xiali~"

In Yanjing dialect, "La Mi" means picking up girls.
What this means is that this car is more upscale and not as affordable as the Daihatsu in Tianjin.

It seems that the Asian Games has indeed given a huge boost to our economy.

It hasn't been long, but it's already working.

Of course, the main reason is that we have a solid foundation.

……

As the saying goes, a short absence is better than a new marriage~
Milan was looking in the mirror while taking off his sweater, muttering to himself, "I've become much more haggard after being away for half a year~"

Xiao Xu screamed: "If you want to die, don't pull me!"

Milan: Stop holding you? Are you running away? Let's die together!

……

It’s been a week since I came back. I hardly went out in the summer, and when I did go out, I only went to see friends in disguise.

Now I have to be careful not to reveal my address, otherwise I will have no place to live.

After coming back this time, when Pants saw Xia Tian, ​​he looked like he was "looking forward to his old father coming home"!
Pants: Brother Tianer, when you go out to enjoy the good life and build a big business, bring some brothers with you!

He originally thought that he would go to Hong Kong to film a movie in the summer, but he turned around and went to the United States, making a big splash in the decadent land of imperialism.

Another English song that's a big hit, another favorite Chinese song; and another movie that's sold directly... How much has it sold for now?

Anyway, the box office has exceeded 10 million US dollars in the first two days!

Oh my god! Are you going to let me live?!
Those drinking buddies at the Seahorse Creative Center looked at Xia Tian strangely - after all, he was someone who had already made a name for himself in the United States!
This is psychologically different!

Of course, I had already given up on the idea of ​​comparison, and now I was just taking it a step further.

Look, isn’t the song “Desire” that we created also a big hit?

The newspapers all said it contributed to lowering crime rates! The streets were completely deserted!
Of course, this is also due to summer.

His summary of the sad drama is really apt!

On February 2, Xia Tian and Milan secretly went to see a newly released movie - "New Year's Eve".

Starring Zhao Lirong, Li Baotian, Ge You, Teacher Liu, Liang Tian, ​​Ding Jiali, Ma Xiaoqing and others.

The director is Huang Jianzhong, an old classmate of his who attended the Yandian Director Training Class during summer vacation.

This movie is beautifully shot, well acted and has a lot of depth to it.

It tells the story of several sons and daughters who are restless during the Chinese New Year in the countryside and are always plotting against their parents' money.

The scene where Li Baotian brought the money to the dinner table at the end was such a classic!
The film eventually won the Best Feature Film Award at the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards and the Special Jury Award at the 4th Tokyo International Film Festival.

Teacher Zhao also won the Best Actress Award at the Tokyo Film Festival for this film!
The problem is that the release time is wrong - Chinese New Year is only two days away, why are you doing this?
It made many viewers feel very uncomfortable.

It feels like "If I don't play G, who will?"

So the box office and word of mouth were very bad.

Movies are a complicated thing. Just because you shoot well and act well doesn't necessarily mean you will get a good result.

Sometimes there are many things to consider, such as schedule, competitors, target audience, publicity and promotion, etc.

Sometimes it's very metaphysical, no wonder so many people in the entertainment industry are so superstitious~
Oh, by the way, there will also be a program for this year’s Spring Festival Gala in the summer.

When we were in the United States before, this year's director Lang had called Xia Tian several times.

This person is a colleague of Xia Tian at CCTV, he is the deputy director.

But there isn't much time for rehearsals in the summer, so we can only make something simple and ready-made.

Finally, it was agreed to perform the Peking Opera "New General Brings Wine" - which was performed on the Hong Kong program "Tonight Without Defense" two years ago.

There is also another song to be sung - "Rap Mask", which is put at the front to suit the occasion.

I went to rehearsal twice in the past two days. Apart from a small issue with the timing that needed to be adjusted, everything else was fine. The results were pretty good.

The Peking Opera "New General Brings Wine" was especially good, and the staff all praised it as very powerful and inspiring.

Director Lang had previously admired the song "Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth", which was an insert song in the documentary "I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City" they filmed in the summer.

But Xia Tian felt that singing two songs was a bit too repetitive.

Now everyone is satisfied, which is naturally the best.

……

At 2 p.m. on February 14, the 8 Spring Festival Gala arrived as scheduled.

In addition to the chief director, there are four assistant directors this year.

In addition to Mr. Zhao Jinye and Ms. Ni, there are two other hosts who are also hosts of the joint broadcast.

First, the hosts gave opening remarks and a round of blessings. Then the show began with a medley of songs and dances, featuring performances from the kindergarten art troupe, the Zhongyang Song and Dance Troupe, the Chinese Opera Academy, and local performance groups.

Then came folk songs and dances, and then a medley of children's operas.

Then it was summer’s “Rap Mask”, and the first song was the “Beijing Song” that he had proposed in his early years!
On the stage, a group of costumed actors rushed up from all sides, doing somersaults and performing stunts.
In the summer, I dance and sing, and I am so happy~
Is there any future for the new Peking Opera + breakdance combination?!
"That day, my grandfather took me to see Peking Opera.
I saw a lot of painted faces on the stage.
Red, white, yellow, green and blue colors are staring
Singing and shouting Wah-ah-ah
It's like thunder roaring in my ears
Blue-faced Dou Erdun steals the imperial horse

The red-faced Guan Gong fights in Changsha
Dian Wei with yellow face and Cao Cao with white face
The black-faced Zhang Fei yelled "Chacha~~~"

There's even a rap:
“To be honest, Peking Opera masks are really beautiful.

The singing is all in dialect and I can't understand it.
Slowly humming for a long time

The band accompaniment is just gongs and drums

The three major items

How can this keep up with the times and trends?
Attracting contemporary young people..."

I had sung "Singing Face Masks" on the Spring Festival Gala in the summer of the previous year, and this time I sang "Talking about Face Masks".

When he was leaving the stage, he glanced at some of the veteran Peking Opera singers who were shaking their heads.
If it were someone else, they would be scolded for being bald before the first month of the year was over.

But who was Xia Tian? Back then, he had engaged in a debate with many scholars in the newspapers, and it can be said that he had won a great victory in the past few years.

No one pays attention to him now! We are all used to it. You can say whatever you want and sing whatever you want, I will pretend I didn’t hear it!
There was thunderous applause at the scene, but Xia Tian came backstage after singing, very calm and didn't feel anything anymore.

Numb~
Alas, how many years have I returned home late at night during the Chinese New Year?
Tired~
At this time, the host, Sister Ni, was on stage with a few pieces of paper, reporting the news to the audience and the live camera.

"We have already received telegrams from our compatriots in more than 30 provinces and cities, Hong Kong and Macao, and many overseas Chinese. I would like to read a few of them to you..."

At this time, Sister Ni, who was holding the so-called "telegram", had goose bumps all over her body, her scalp was numb, and her back was cold.

Because what I had in my hand were just four blank pages! Not a single word on them!

Relying on her strong psychological qualities, she stayed calm and composed the content on the spot. While managing her facial expressions, she read out many improvised "blessing telegrams"!
When she got off the stage, she felt so weak that she could hardly stand, and cold sweat covered her forehead.

Xia Tian was still puzzled: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Sister Ni stuffed the manuscript paper into Xia Tian's hand and felt like she was about to faint.

When the chief director came over, I was about to collapse!
Who is so sinister and cruel?!

This is just a small episode, unknown to others, and the Spring Festival Gala will continue.

The next program is Huang Hong and Song Dandan’s skit “Hand in Hand”, which talks about counterfeit and shoddy shoes... This is a very realistic work!
Then there were songs, acrobatics, crosstalk... and one of them was "Lubinghua".

"Every night I think of my mother's words, tears sparkling in my eyes, lupine~"

This year, CCTV also invited Principal Tan from Hong Kong to sing a song "Flower in the Water".

The song is very good, but Principal Tan’s Mandarin pronunciation really drags down the performance.

There was also a singer on the island, Pan Meichen, who sang "I Want a Home".

He is only 21 years old!
There was a performance by Benshan and Lao Zhao on this year's Spring Festival Gala, but I didn't have much impression of the skit.

But the song "I Want a Home" may have inspired him, and later it was adapted into a skit.
After the Peking Opera medley, the new Peking Opera "New Song of Wine" will be performed in the summer.

This Peking Opera is different from the previous ones. It has music and is quite exciting!

Xiatian likes to "knock" the old seniors and see them being so angry and helpless.

After so many years, they have become accustomed to it. A few curses in private will not be reported in the newspapers.

No fun~
Xia Tian: "Don't you see? The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky and flows into the sea for eighty thousand miles——"

"Don't you see that Yu's footprints have forged China from the Nine Provinces? Born in adversity for five thousand years."

Then the line is recited: "From the north of Mangshan (bo), I look at the Heluo land ~ the beautiful water is in the river ~"

"Hundreds of rivers flow into the sea, nourishing all things; sands blow and waves roll for thousands of years."

A long, passionate line, resounding like a golden and jade-like voice.

"The river rises and falls, the river surges and surges, the surges and surges across the vast sky! The head of the hanging river, the axis of North China, the mouth of a hundred rivers, the eternal ~~~ ancient flow ~"

"I will sing a song for you, telling the story of China through the ages. When the river dries up, the Shang Dynasty will perish and the world will fall. When the river is safe, the people will prosper and the world will be prosperous~"

"Forty years of tremendous changes in the mountains and rivers, and a sincere heart striving for prosperity~"

"I never give up my Chinese ambitions day and night, and my love for Xuanyuan never stops flowing."

……

On the stage, there was also a qigong master named Zhang performing "telekinesis".

The TV series "Superman Zhang Xsheng" was previously broadcast on many TV stations.

It had a huge impact at the time, and people were invited to perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage because they thought it was ugly.

What special ability? It's just a magic trick.

It's just a technique, and it's not as skilled as some of the old craftsmen on Tianqiao.

If he were still alive...

Oh, forget it, the water of Canglang is clear, the water of Canglang is turbid~
With the last yangko performance, the Spring Festival Gala finally ended.

To be honest, this year's program is a bit mediocre.

The only highlight was Sister Ni’s impulsive response and on-the-spot performance!
