China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 281 Our journey is the sea of ​​stars

Cao Xuan's program was strictly kept secret by the program group of the Spring Festival Gala. Until the live broadcast, only two pieces of information were vaguely known to the outside world.

One is a solo and the other is a new song.

This is not beyond everyone's expectations. Since the beginning of the Spring Festival Gala in 1999, Cao Xuan has been singing solo + new songs for the past three years, which is almost his symbol in the Spring Festival Gala.

Guessing that Cao Xuan's new song is already a daily program of the Spring Festival Gala, it is not inferior to those language programs.

However, the host's announcement and the familiar prelude just now made many Cao Xuan fans a little confused.

Isn't "Sea of ​​Stars" an old song?
Well, it's not an old song, after all, this song has only been out for more than a month, and it's still fresh.

But soon everyone understood that the melody was similar, but the lyrics were changed, and the overall concept was completely different.

After Cao Xuan sang the first two lines, all the audience in front of the TV saw the video clip switched from the stage screen.

"Hundred Years' Journey

not all smooth sailing

Crossing mountains and seas, never slack

Always look forward to
......"

On the three-foot podium, a female teacher pointed to the words on the blackboard and taught the students to read, and the primary school students in the audience followed the teacher to read.

In the threshing ground, the old men and women in the countryside raised the wheat on the ground and worked hard.

On the road, there was heavy snow in the cold winter, and the traffic policemen in cotton clothes pushed the car stuck in the snow hard.

At the border post, a People's Liberation Army was fully armed, across the steep terrain, and walked towards the sentry post near the boundary marker.

In the hospital, the doctor pushed the ambulance and rushed to the operating room, which was very busy.

In the classroom, a group of students wearing high school uniforms are hurrying to study, and the countdown to the college entrance examination flashed on the blackboard.

In the factory, the iron and steel workers are working hard without raising their heads, sweat dripping from their foreheads.

In the scientific research site, some scientific researchers are operating the instruments and consoles, and the big screen faintly looks like a rocket graphic.

In addition to the above, there are also people from all walks of life. Everyone has one or two shots, busy figures and hurried steps.

The camera switched back to the stage, and Cao Xuan's warm and powerful singing gradually became louder.

"All the ups and downs
Finally blown into the dust by the wind

Never come back
Bring youth to you

Across the sea of ​​stars

Well……"

On the podium, the female teacher picked up the chalk and wrote four large characters, and all the students in the audience shouted "I love the motherland" in unison with immature voices.

At the threshing floor, after harvesting the wheat, the old man couldn't help laughing at his wife, showing his only remaining front tooth.

On the road, the passers-by helped and finally pushed the car out. The owner thanked the car, and the passing child saluted the traffic policeman as a young pioneer, and the traffic policeman stepped forward to return the salute.

At the border post, they changed posts with their comrades-in-arms. The young soldiers held steel guns and guarded the frontier of the motherland with firm eyes.

In the hospital, the door of the operating room opened. When the doctor came out with a tired face, he nodded and smiled at the patient's family.

In the classroom, the students who finished the college entrance examination celebrated wildly, their eyes full of anticipation and longing for the future.

In the factory, the off-duty workers are covered in dust, a little embarrassed to smile at the camera, and some young ones give a thumbs up.

At the scientific research site, watching the rocket take off, all the scientific researchers hugged their heads and cheered.

The switching between the two sets of shots touched countless viewers in front of the TV, and everyone saw their own shadows in the people appearing in these shots.

Everyone is busy, everyone is also happy, and they all have their own expectations and beauty in their hearts, just like the lyrics sang-always have expectations and cross the stars and the sea.

At this time, Cao Xuan also sang the second stanza. He slowly walked a few steps towards the middle of the stage with a clear voice.

"Wearing starlight, try your best to catch up with the exam

Zhiyuan is not afraid of mountains
A hundred years of pride, looking at the world

Continue to write love across mountains and seas
agitated in youth
......"

In the short film, a red boat appeared on the South Lake: "Sir, what is the name of our party."

"Communist Party of China!"

The camera turned again, and at the headquarters of Nanchang City, a young man with a red scarf on his uniform fired three shots, and the army carrying the red flag was born.

On Jinggang Mountain, the two teams reunited, and a voice with a slightly Hunan accent shouted: "A single spark can start a prairie fire!"

After the two battlefield shots flashed, the colorful flags fluttered, and the same voice solemnly announced to the world in the large square with huge crowds, and above the city gate.

"The Chinese people have stood up since then!"

A huge mushroom cloud rose on the Gobi Desert, and Qian Lao's old voice sounded.

"What foreigners can do, can't the Chinese do it?"

At the United Nations General Assembly, the green lights of the huge voting wall occupied the majority, and an old man's bold smile was frozen in the camera.

Along the southern coast, a small fishing village slowly built up a series of high-rise buildings, and countless people with dreams rushed towards the tide.

"You can be laid off, and we will be employed."

With these solid and powerful words, the five-star red flag and the Bauhinia flag are rising slowly in Xiangjiang.

Boom, the rocket lifts off.

A news report came from my ears: "On January 2001, 1, China's Shenzhou II was successfully launched, marking a further step forward in my country's manned spaceflight project."

In Moscow, Samaranch's beijing sounded, and thousands of houses in China were lit up all night.

Wulihe Stadium, the whistle sounded, and the whole country was boiling!

China's accession to the World Trade Organization is of great significance.

All the shots from 80 years ago to the present have touched the hearts of countless audiences, and they are more suitable for Cao Xuan's singing.

"Bring youth to you
Across the sea of ​​stars

Heart of a child is surging
Use youth to compose wonderful

Never wandered
I rushed to you
Across the sea of ​​stars

......"

After Cao Xuan sang the passionate chorus, all the audience's emotions from the video burst out together, and many people even felt their scalps go numb.

We are overwhelmed by the suffering of China yesterday!
We cry for the rise of China today!
We look forward to the glory of China tomorrow!
The video of "Stars and Seas" is the past and the present, while the lyrics and emotions are full of future, majestic and swaying.

When Cao Xuan finished his exit, the audience gave extremely warm applause. Even the host couldn't stop it, which even affected the live broadcast process at one point.

Not to mention the TV viewers who witnessed the short video of "Sea of ​​Stars", they couldn't forget it for a long time under the turbulent heart.

At this crossroads of pluralism and opening up, many aspects of the country have not yet reacted, and the concept of propaganda has not kept up with it, unable to grasp the favorable combination of the main theme and fashion.

As a result, the main theme was out of touch for a while, and was even disgusted by many young people.

Some of them may be obstructed, but some of them have not grasped the pulse of the times. To put it bluntly, they are outdated.

The main theme of the later generations shines brightly, and the re-establishment of national self-confidence is the most important thing. Another aspect is that the government has responded. Many propagandas have begun to capture the points of young people, and naturally they have received rave reviews.

It not only guarantees ideological propaganda, but also has great popularity, can go out of the circle to the greatest extent, and the publicity effect is also excellent.

Cao Xuan dare not boast, but at this stage his model is very feasible.

If it is said that this video and song only touched people 20 years later, it is simply shocking now.

Cao Xuan admits that there are indeed many well-known and supercilious people at this stage, but most of them are still very simple and patriotic.

Even they have personally experienced confusion and troughs, and empathize with them. Looking at the country that is now rising a little bit, their hearts are full of longing for the future.

20 years ago and 20 years later, the state of mind may be completely different, but the emotion is the same, and I also found my own resonance from the song.

.........

Cao Xuan did not leave as usual this time, but entered the dressing room in the preparation area again, where Master Hou and Lao Zhao were waiting after the performance.

The TV in the dressing room was on, and it was the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala.

Generally speaking, the TV in the preparation stage is seldom turned on. Everyone is nervous and afraid to be disturbed by external things. They are all adjusting and have no time or mood to watch TV.

However, the two people in this dressing room have finished their performances, and the last line of "Unforgettable Tonight" is both veterans of the Spring Festival Gala, and their mentality is much more stable.

As soon as Cao Xuan entered, Mr. Hou and Lao Zhao gave him a thumbs up. They had just finished watching the live broadcast.

They also listened to the song during the rehearsal before, but they didn't have a deep impression. This time, it was combined with the live broadcast of the short video, which was very shocking, and Cao Xuan's perception has also improved to a higher level.

Hou Sanye didn't communicate much with Cao Xuan before, we were just friends, but this time when we saw each other again, he smiled a lot more kindly, and warmly greeted Cao Xuan to drink water and eat biscuits.

Many people of the older generation attach great importance to the righteousness of the family and the country. Although Cao Xuan's song can't represent anything, the attitude shown is still worthy of respect.

Regardless of whether it is Hou Sanye or Lao Zhao, regardless of others, right and wrong are unambiguous, so naturally they have a high regard for Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan has a good impression of Hou Sanye, firstly because Lao Guo loves the house and Wu, and secondly because the other party is straightforward and easy-going, without putting on airs.

Waiting to go home for the New Year's Eve dinner, Cao Xuan didn't touch any biscuits or water, while chatting with the two of them, he also leisurely watched TV.

This is also the fourth time for him to attend the Spring Festival Gala this year. He is a serious old man, and his mentality is not much worse than the other two.

Coincidentally, Cao Xuan's next program happened to be Jiang Kun's cross talk. Seeing him come out, Mr. Hou and Lao Zhao, who had a good relationship with him, frowned.

As I said before, there is a term for cross talk called [fire but not mud].

That is to say, when performing, it is best to perform well in the previous show, warm up the venue, go up and perform on your own with a good atmosphere and good effect.

If it was the last one that messed up and left the show cold, then it would be embarrassing, let alone your own performance, you have to be busy cleaning up the last show first.

But fire also has a limit.

If the last performance was so amazing that it took the audience's soul away, and they were still thinking about it after the show ended, then the situation in the next performance would be worse than facing the silence.

No matter what the performance is, no one is watching, so busy work...

Both of them watched Cao Xuan's show. To be honest, Hou Sanye felt that he might not be able to continue. Lao Zhao had the confidence, but it was inevitable that he would have to exert some effort to draw the audience's attention back.

As for Jiang Kun, if it was the peak period, there is no need to worry too much, but now his partner has changed. After Liang Zuo passed away, the quality of his works has declined seriously.

The whole performance was an embarrassment. The audience hardly laughed for the first five or six minutes, and then they recovered slowly and gave some feedback.

The audience in front of the TV didn't know, but based on their own experience, the two of them might be choked up.

Cao Xuan was a little gloating, he had no objection to Jiang Kun, and was totally focused on his partner.

I wrote some gossip in the last chapter and deleted it. If you dare to do it or not, you deserve it!
