Chapter 68: Spring Festival Gala

It is a definite fact that it is difficult to radically change the age-old phenomenon of patriarchy.

But don't forget that the pursuit and yearning for beauty in human nature are even more deep-rooted.

Although patriarchy represents a harsh reality and a chain of tyranny, its power is unlimited, and others are subject to orders, even forming personal dependencies on them.

But you must also know that what cold things are most afraid of is the burning of sincerity and warmth.

In some cases, once the emotion is in place, it becomes soft and even melts, and it is difficult to keep it tightly sealed all the time.

This is the reason why life is always full of hope and never despairs.

The first scene that touched people's hearts in 1983 came from the first live broadcast of the "Spring Festival Gala".

This originated from the "Spring Festival Gala" planned in November 1982 and only began to rehearse the actors at the "Yanjing Hotel" in early February 1983, relying only on 5 cameras, a studio of 600 square meters, more than 60 cast and crew, and 200 live audiences.

Although there was a shortage of funds, no stunts, no fireworks, and no computers, it ushered in a new era.

Since then, the "Spring Festival Gala" has not only become a fixed form that accompanies hundreds of millions of Chinese families to spend Chinese New Year's Eve, but this "Spring Festival Gala" has also become the most successful and popular Spring Festival Gala among the audience.

Its reputation is far better than that of the later "Spring Festival Gala" in the era of big investment and big production, with star-studded and colorful tricks.

This has not changed to this day, and I believe it will not change again.

The reason why this is the case is not because of how novel this "Spring Festival Gala" is in terms of program and form.

At that time, the sketches had not yet taken shape, and "anti-strings" were rare, even if the new programs were, compared with the previous ones, they would not be able to escape the scope of singing and dancing, opera, juggling, and opera.

And although the cross talk actor was the host at that time, the innovative performance form of the audience's live on-demand program did become a gimmick that attracted the audience's attention.

But in the future, it will eventually become ordinary because it is not strange, and it will gradually be forgotten and ignored by people.

Therefore, the real reason for its success is actually because this "Spring Festival Gala" is full of sincerity and hope, and it is the most unpretentious and full of humanity.

The truth comes from three aspects.

First of all, this is a party with singing and laughter as the core, subverting the concept of a party that most people have been accustomed to for many years.

And under the director's sincere plea, all the actors, just to make the whole country happy, all volunteered to participate in the performance, without any remuneration.

Even the actors and hosts are wearing their usual clothes, and they are completely self-brought.

Especially at that time, the "Spring Festival Gala" was not yet famous, and this was by no means the performance task designated by each unit.

Even the hottest singers in the country at that time, Yang Weifan, Gu Yi, and the most famous movie star Liu Xiaoqin, all sacrificed their respective families, were happily invited to participate, and actively cooperated with the rehearsal.

This kind of public welfare and sense of morality is by no means comparable to contemporary stars who do not participate in the show in addition to "money" and "fame" in their eyes.

Secondly, Liu Xiaoqin became the first star to express homesickness through TV media in this Spring Festival Gala.

As the last actor to report, her only request to participate in the performance was to greet her parents in her hometown.

But this request is also not easy to pass. As a state media, the concern is the seriousness of politics.

Later, after layers of approval, it was finally not until the highest level of national television that she was given a chance to say a word.

And when she faced the national audience, she said affectionately, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and I am here to pay tribute to my parents who are far away in my hometown and sitting in front of the TV."

A delicate warmth that has never been experienced in the official media, but it has successfully resonated with everyone in front of the television.

This is the real "Spring Festival Gala Spirit".

As for the end, what is destined to go down in history is undoubtedly Gu Yi and Yang Weifan who have become the male and female singers with the most on-demand songs respectively.

At this party, Gu Yi not only sang seven songs as in his previous life. Even Yang Weifan followed suit and sang his seven famous songs one by one.

Together, the two became the well-deserved male and female "Maiba" of the night.

And the biggest climax of the resulting party is that under the enthusiastic on-demand broadcast of countless audiences, the official phone number of the party is almost bursting.

At the same time, Gu Yi's much-criticized song "Hometown Love" was filled with two large plates.

So with the joint efforts of the broad masses of the people, this song was finally lifted in public under the order of the chief director.

So when Gu sang this song affectionately, the voice coming from the TV was not only euphemistic, but also contained touching and exciting emotional resonance.

This is the expression of the true will of the people, a triumphant song of breaking through shackles and raising eyebrows.

Therefore, this party, invisibly, also played a role in value remodeling.

Countless families, countless young men and women rejoiced and looked forward to the future.

I'm afraid that the only people who feel lost and dumbfounded are those who are still sincerely glad that Gu Yi left the "National Orchestra" and took over this hot potato for the "Haiphong Song and Dance Troupe" not long ago.

Of course, when it comes to the delicacy and sincerity of emotions, the above is still not all.

If we look at a broader perspective, the remarkable part is even more touching than the scene of the party.

For example, after the show, all four hotlines were overloaded for 10 hours straight, and all the telephone lines were hot.

The on-duty officer of the 86th Bureau of the telephone, who was in charge of the line, had to call the police.

And the engineering and technical personnel and firefighters stayed at the telephone office all night for this reason.

In addition, when all the cast and crew returned to the Yanjing Hotel after eating dumplings and noodles for a simple supper, they found that the whole building was brightly lit, and all the waiters who went to work spontaneously lined up in a long line to welcome the crew back.

For another example, when the party was in progress, the camera of the TV set crossed Yang Weifan in the banquet.

In the corner of a large courtyard, a girl watching TV at someone else's house involuntarily let out a lament with a trill.

And her colleagues in her unit, her best friend, couldn't help but make fun of her for this, saying something like "You're too obsessed with Yang Weifan, aren't you?" Don't worry, there will definitely be his program later. You're sure to see enough. ”

Unexpectedly, the girl who has always been easy to be shy reacted quite abnormally this time.

Not only did she frown, but she stared at the screen for a long time without saying a word.

After a while, he read a sentence softly with a lot of worry.

He ...... He has something on his mind, and he is not happy. It has to be like this, it has to be, I know ......"

For another example, when Wang Jingyu's performance of "Eating Chicken" on TV aroused the laughter of thousands of households, only "Zhang Dascoo" sat alone at the small dining table, snorted a small wine cup, and scolded, "The cook who makes chickens should be killed!"

Unexpectedly, at this time, not only did there a knock on his door, but a voice came from the door.

"The cook who eats alone should also be killed. ”

As a result, as soon as the door was opened, Hong Yanwu, who was hippie and smiling, and Chen Liquan, who was smiling, walked in together.

One holds a jar of wine, and one holds a few lunch boxes. The meaning is self-explanatory.

"Zhang Dascoo" was hot, his hands trembled, but he still pretended to be dissatisfied with the reprimand.

"It's not good to celebrate the New Year, why are you two running here to disturb my cleanliness?"

Hong Yanwu explained.

"There were so many people in the family that even the neighbors went to our house to borrow the phone to call the party hotline, and the conversation was hot. No, our brothers and sons also want to be quiet, so I'll ask you to have a drink. ”

And "Zhang Dascoop" is still unrelenting.

"Drink? Are you so uninvited? By the way, who did you just say you should kill?"

Hong Yanwu hurriedly surrendered, raising the things in his hand.

"Look at you, you're bored. Okay, I said myself, this is my uncle's home-brewed 'Mandian Xiang' and some home-cooked side dishes made by my mother, looking for you to taste ......."

"Zhang Dascoop" was relieved.

"Come on, come in, close the door for me, it's all hot. ”

And although he turned around coldly, in fact he quietly wiped a handful of tears hidden in his eyes.

The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
