Early November.

Speaking of the history of CCTV, it has only been 10 years since the full count, and it has always been Beijing TV in the past.

It was not until January 1, 1978 that the news program "News Network" was officially launched, and on May 1 of the same year, with the approval of the superiors, Beijing TV was officially renamed CCTV.

That night, the replaced station logo appeared on the screen, and since then, the era of CCTV has been opened, and at the same time, it has become a CCTV that no one in the country knows about.

At this time, CCTV's address is still located at No. 11, Fuxing Road, Haidian District, and its headquarters is still a decent building for more than 20 times, not a pants building jokingly called by netizens in later generations.

Early in the morning, Li Yange rushed over by bus.

In the middle of last month, after communicating with Zhang Xiaohai, although he knew that he was not 100% able to perform on stage, Li Yange finally decided to agree to the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala program group.

After all, the current Spring Festival Gala is not something that anyone can go to later, and the second most important thing is that the influence of the Spring Festival Gala at this time is unprecedented.

In the era when mass entertainment is not popular, the first TV program that people watch on the New Year is the Spring Festival Gala.

To put it bluntly, almost all performers who can appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and have their distinctive personalities can almost rely on this stage to become famous all over the country.

In the Spring Festival Gala in 1987, Fei Xiang, a singer from Baodao, quickly became popular all over the country with "A Fire in Winter", as well as his handsome appearance, and the first singing performance of the Spring Festival Gala.

Even if Fei Xiang quit the mainland music scene in 89, decades later, his name is still familiar to many people.

In addition, there are also Zhu Shimao, Chen Peisi, Teacher Song, Teacher Zhao and other sketch actors who rely on the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala, they can be known to everyone, and the stage of the Spring Festival Gala can be said to have played a vital role.

"Hello, comrade, please show your ID." As soon as he arrived at the CCTV building, when Li Yange was about to go in, he was stopped by two guards with guns.

Li Yange hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm here to participate in the Spring Festival Gala column group, can I trouble you to help notify the people in the program group?" ”

"Spring Festival Gala column group?" The guard looked Li Yange up and down, didn't look like a liar, nodded as well, turned around and communicated with the people in the guard room, and dialed the phone number of the Spring Festival Gala program team.

After a while, the guard came out and said, "This comrade, you wait here, the people from the program team said to come and pick you up now." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you." Li Yange smiled, and then stood in place and began to wait.

After a while, a staff member walked out of the building in a hurry, and after seeing Li Yange who was stopped at the gate, he hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.

Subsequently, the two entered the building, and the staff took out a document from their pocket and handed it over: "I'm sorry Mr. Li, the group is rehearsing, and Director Zhang is busy." ”

"It's okay, there's a show rehearsing now?" Li Yange took the work card and saw that his name was written on it.

The staff member said: "Actually, there is a show rehearsal in the month, but the program rehearsal room is only vacant now, and Director Zhao called everyone over today." ”

"That's right." Li Yange nodded in a trance, it is only the beginning of November, and the program team has already begun to arrange rehearsals, which is really dedicated.

Passing by the door of a studio, Li Yange had just arrived at the side, when he heard a very familiar voice inside saying: "My name is Wei Shufen, female, 29 years old, and still unmarried." ”

"Comrade Li, this is the place where the show is rehearsed." The staff pointed to the studio and said.

"Can you go in and have a look?" Li Yange could tell who the performer was from Fang Cai's first sentence, so he was very curious about what Teacher Song was like at this time.

The staff said embarrassedly: "This... I'm afraid not now, Director Zhao and Director Zhang know that you are here, and they are still waiting for you in the conference room. ”

"Okay, then let's go first." Li Yange doesn't care, anyway, as long as he enters the program group, he will have more opportunities to watch Mr. Song's sketch performances in the future.

A few minutes later.

The two went all the way up to the temporary conference room of the Spring Festival Gala program group on the eighth floor.

"Knock-"

"Come in!"

There was a voice in the room, the staff hurriedly pushed open the door, Li Yange followed behind and walked in, and as soon as he arrived in the conference room, he saw six or seven people sitting at a long table.

"Teacher Li is here, welcome!" Director Zhao walked over enthusiastically, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Li, I am Zhao An, the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala column group." ”

Seeing the Director Zhao in front of him, Li Yange's face was a little strange, but he still smiled and said: "Director Zhao, don't call me teacher, I was embarrassed to call Director Zhang last time I met and kept calling me teacher, if you don't mind, you can call me Yan Ge or Xiao Li." ”

"How can I do it, is the master a teacher, Mr. Li, I have heard all your albums, and the writing is really good!"

Immediately, Director Zhao paused, and then said: "Come, Mr. Li, let me introduce to you, this is the host of our station, Mr. Zhao Zhongxiang." ”

Zhao Zhongxiang was only in his forties at this time, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, heroic posture, after seeing Li Yange, he smiled and stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Li, I have admired you for a long time, I heard that there are young composers in China who have won the American award, and they have also held a solo concert in the United States, and I have always wanted to meet you. ”

Li Yange said modestly: "Teacher Zhao, you are serious, just call me Yange, or Xiao Li, I can't afford to be a teacher in front of you, but I grew up listening to you host the news since I was a child, especially "Animal World", I like to watch it the most." ”

Zhao Zhongxiang is the first male announcer in China, and the first Chinese journalist to visit the White House to visit the US president.

In particular, "Animal World", which was broadcast in 1981, can be said to be the youthful memories of three generations.

"Okay, then I'll call you Yan Ge." Before Zhao Zhongxiang had never met Li Yange before, he was still speculating whether this young man would be a little proud, after all, he became famous at a young age and made great achievements abroad, so it was inevitable that there would be a trace of rebellion.

But now I look at it, he is very good, he is a good comrade who is modest and not arrogant!

Immediately, Director Zhao successively introduced several program team directors, field affairs and other staff to Li Yange.

After greeting each other, Li Yange sat down and began to communicate with Director Zhao about his performance this time.

According to what Zhang Xiaohai said before, the program he wants Li Yange to perform is preferably a large-scale instrumental performance, just like holding a solo concert in the United States.

As for songs, I naturally hope that Li Yange can re-compose a piece of music about the New Year, focusing on joy and festivity.

However, it was rejected by Li Yange, if you want to talk about the cheerful song of the Spring Festival, there is nothing like "Spring Festival Overture", this song has been released since 1955, and has almost become one of the must-have songs for the New Year.

The Spring Festival Gala has been broadcast for decades, and it has long been engraved in the bones of the Chinese people.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohai also agreed, so he retreated to the next best thing, and let Li Yange finalize the music of the performance by himself, and then listen to the arrangement of the chief director when the time came.
