After eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and chatting about so many troubles at work, it was only past eight o'clock in the evening.

Sister Gu Min suddenly remembered that there was a "Spring Festival Gala" on TV this year, and CCTV had been promoting it in advance for a long time, so she hurriedly turned on the TV and signaled her father and younger brother not to talk about the topic of depression.

Gu Biao was also a little curious, so he put away his thoughts on work and looked at it patiently.

He actually doesn't like to watch TV very much, mainly because in order to protect his eyesight a few years ago, he knows that the CRT radiation in these years is large. Coupled with the fact that he hadn't seen anything interesting in his later life, TV shows really didn't appeal much to him.

However, this year is the first CCTV Spring Festival Gala broadcast nationwide, since it has returned to this era, this kind of commemorative program can still be nostalgic.

As soon as the TV was turned on, it was already a little late, Mr. Hou Baolin's opening cross talk had passed, and the host's New Year's greeting speech had been finished.

Although the singer has a good voice, the song is too young, and it is almost as easy to understand as "Two Tigers" sung by kindergarten children, and everyone will listen to joy.

After these model routines were completed, Mr. Ma Ji's cross talk three killings finally made the atmosphere really lively, and the audience's applause was no longer a task, but really funny.

The actors on stage are also gradually getting younger. After a while, I saw a graceful and dignified young female singer singing "On the Field of Hope", which caused the audience to applaud.

The performance forms of songs, magic, cross talk, acrobatics, and one-scene programs are similar to those of later generations, but there are more so-called traditional quintessences such as "Peking Opera" that will never be seen by later generations.

There are four Peking operas, and there is even an excerpt from the traditional Huangmei opera "Husband and Wife Return Home".

It can be seen that every time Gu Biao hears a singing, he wants to change the channel, or watch a video. However, Dad seems to appreciate such traditional opera, and Gu Biao has no choice but to leave the living room by himself, go next door to read a book for a while, and come back after the Peking Opera Huangmei Opera is finished.

The party watched for more than two hours, and at about 10 o'clock, the hostess Liu Xiaoqing came to the stage during the intermission and said some warm-up lines, and then announced a hotline, calling on the national audience to call the long-distance hotline to order songs.

Gu Min saw it and was quite moved, and suggested: "Brother, why don't we also call the hotline to order songs?"

"There must be a lot of people who fight, and 99% of them will be stuck and won't be able to get in. "Gu Biao has seen a lot of variety show hotline scenes in later generations, of course he won't be as impulsive as his sister who has never seen this kind of world.

In the 1983 Spring Festival Gala, this was the first time in China that there was the concept of "variety show on-demand hotline".

It is said that CCTV didn't expect it to make a big fuss at first, and finally found that "thousands of viewers called in to order songs", and it was too late to even count the votes, and it almost ended badly.

can only say that CCTV doesn't know anything about the power of the Spring Festival Gala (how is this sentence a little familiar, it was used by Luo Pang to talk about Tmall after 35 years)

This kind of thing, put aside for a few years, is not something that "thousands of people call" can do.

It can only be said that in 1983, there were still too few telephones in residents' homes that could make long-distance calls and hotline permissions, and the installed capacity of the whole country was less than 100,000, so the number of callers could be limited to a few thousand. (The phone in the unit can make long-distance calls, because no one will watch TV in the unit on Chinese New Year's Eve)

Gu Min was unconvinced, and with unwillingness in his heart, he fought three or four times in a row, and five minutes passed.

Sure enough, she couldn't score, which made her very discouraged.

"Alas, Ashin is at the Tokyo Embassy, and he must be watching the show, and I want to order him a song to listen to. Gu Min pouted and put down the microphone.

Gu Biao couldn't bear to be disappointed by her sister, and when she heard that her sister missed her brother-in-law abroad, and there was a reason for it, she pointed her the way.

"If you want to order a song, I'll give Mr. Bertolucci a call, you said it earlier, I'm so prepared. Mr. Bertolucci has an inside line for the relevant ministers. ”

During the filming of "The Last Emperor", director Bertolucci was definitely sideways in the domestic cultural circles. Because even the deputy minister-level plays a supporting role and the second male lead in his movies, and listens to his command. He has a special line, which can be directly called to the deputy in charge of science, education, culture, and health. As for calling the director of the General Bureau, it is not a problem.

Gu Biao said, picked up the phone at home, called Bertolucci, and spoke in English: "Mr. Bertolucci, have you watched the Spring Festival Gala?" ”

"Oh, Gu, what's wrong, do you want to give me New Year's greetings, I already understand a little bit about your Chinese customs." "Mr. Bertolucci is very accommodating in front of the big donors.

"Well, I'll give you an early birthday in advance. Tomorrow I will invite you to dinner and have a good day. However, can you help me call the hotline tonight, and you will say that you will have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with me. I heard that my brother-in-law is working for the country in Yueben, and the embassy can't reunite with his newlywed wife during the Chinese New Year, so you want to help call and order a song. ”

Bertolucci understood as soon as he heard it: "No problem. ”

Bertolucci recently took exterior shots in the New Yuan Ming Palace in Zhuxian County, and he and Xiao Sui were able to meet every day a few days ago. In the past two days, because the Chinese have finished work, Bertolucci has returned to the establishment, living in the Qiantang City Guest House specially arranged by Qiu Qing, and even his special line is temporarily opened (in fact, it is also the guest house that Gu Xiao arranged for Xiao Sui to live in before)

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Bertolucci was drinking with a few Italian assistants, but the Chinese people certainly did not know his specific whereabouts. If he wants to talk and laugh with Gu Biao for the New Year, no one will doubt it afterwards.

Gu Biao covered the microphone, turned his head and asked his sister, "What song do you want to order?"

Gu Min paused for a moment: "I just want to order a song that is often listened to in Yuben, Chinese songs." I haven't thought about it, or Ouyang Feifei's "Love Heat" in the Desert?"

Gu Biao: "Hey, you guy! I didn't even think about ordering songs for CCTV." Then I'll help you make the decision, just "Walking on the Road of Life", I wrote this song, and Teng Lijun sang it when she made a comeback last year. If it can be broadcast, it will definitely be broadcast. But I'll just give it a try."

The 83 Spring Festival Gala was indeed an ice-breaking program, because of the practice of "listening to the audience's opinions", which led to a certain general Wu Bureau finally making a decision in person: lifting the ban on part of the "H color ban song".

For example, the theme song "Velvet Flower" of the movie "Little Flower" starring Tang Yuqiang, Chen Chong and Liu Xiaoqing in 80 originally belonged to the "beautiful sound" because it involved themes such as love and love, and CCTV did not release it.

But the movie has a great influence, so young men and women love to listen to it, and as a result, this song and another Li Guyi's love-themed song were personally ordered by Wu Ju to lift the ban at the Spring Festival Gala.

Even some Wanwan female singers were originally given "beautiful sounds" by the monograph "How to Identify H-Color Songs" by some professors of the Y Conservatory of Music, and they also took this opportunity to get some back.

Gu Biao knows that this is the general trend of history and a good thing for cultural openness, since he wants to help his sister realize her wish now, there is nothing wrong with taking advantage of the situation to bring private goods.

"Mr. Bertolucci, you make up the story yourself, I want to listen to "Walking on the Road of Life", the capital should also have music scores and soundtrack tapes. Let's do our best to obey the fate of heaven. Gu Biao said.

The accompaniment led him to believe that it must be found, at least the professors who wrote "How to Identify H Songs" must have it, otherwise how to criticize it.

As for learning on the spot, it is not difficult for those awesome female singers.

If you can't do it, just follow the original trajectory of history and wait for Liu Xiaoqing to sing "Velvet Flower", Gu Biao just asked Bertolucci to make a call, and there was nothing to lose.

"Okay, I'll try it, you owe me a drink, or I'll come to your house to eat food after I call." Bertolucci said half-jokingly.

Artists, day and night are reversed, and they can't sleep and eat supper, which is a very normal way of life.

"Welcome. Gu Biao smiled and hung up the phone.

Gu Min also felt that he had dates and no dates, half-jokingly, and didn't take it to heart.

The first wave of songs really didn't have what she wanted, but Li Guyi's love song "Hometown Love", and a song "The Sea, Hometown" that didn't need to be lifted and could have been sung generously.

The mid-hour show passed quickly, and it was already past 11 o'clock.

Downstairs in the Gu family's villa, the horn of the luxury car sounded, and it turned out that Mr. Bertolucci had come to join in the fun.

Gu Biao hurriedly introduced Bertolucci into the house, warmly entertained him, and did not ask about calling the hotline to order songs.

Gu Min personally cooked a few hot dishes in advance and entertained Bertolucci and his Italian female assistant to use them. Gu Biao explained the program on TV to him, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.

Just after half past eleven, another wave of song programs was released.

The hostess Liu Xiaoqing cleared her throat and stepped forward again: "Next, I will sing a famous Chinese song "Walking on the Road of Life" released in Japan for everyone.

This song was ordered by the famous director Mr. Bertolucci and others, and was given to the comrades on the diplomatic front who were still stationed in foreign posts during the Spring Festival......"

looked up a little vaguely, and did not point out that the original singer of this song was Teresa Teng. However, the temporary production on the TV screen was subtitled, showing "Lyrics: Gu Biao." Composer: Miyuki Nakajima".

And the singer actually needless to say, everyone who has heard it knows that this is Teresa Teng's song.

At this moment, if Gu Biao celebrates the New Year in some places in the downtown area, he will definitely hear the excited voices of his neighbors running around to tell each other.

It's a pity that he is a lonely man living in the mountains, and he can't experience the sense of change that is happy with the people.

"Wow, this kind of song must have been ordered by someone from the embassy in Japan, a family member who stayed in China, right?"

"It's really amazing, what kind of 'old friend of the Chinese people is that director Bertolucci? The 'people' who can name and order songs at the Spring Festival Gala and invite him to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with must be very awesome." ”

"Lyrics: Gu Biao, isn't Gu Biao that and that...... How did he become a poet and writer again?"

Such complaints pervade the night sky on Chinese New Year's Eve, and their source is the stock of more than 10 million televisions on the land of China today.
