Chapter 75: Brave Xuanxuan, Not Afraid of Difficulties

February 1999, 2, Year Thirty

Cao Xuan woke up in the morning, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and ate half a catty of the dumplings that Sun Lan specially made for him last night.

My parents are not used to the pork stuffing with pickled vegetables in Northeast China, but Cao Xuan likes it very much.

Absolutely!

After eating, it was still early, so Cao Xuan took Zhang Chong to help Cao Shuangguo post the Spring Festival couplets.

Shanglian: Good luck every year
The next link: all the best backgammon
Horizontal batch: Five blessings

After posting the Spring Festival couplets, Cao Shuangguo hung two red lanterns in front of the gate, and then took out two hanging firecrackers, one at the door and one at the entrance of the alley.

This year, there is no regulation on fireworks and firecrackers. From seven o'clock in the morning, people started to set off firecrackers one after another.

Of course, the exception to being woken up by firecrackers and scolding mother...

At 08:30, Zhu Jiang drove to pick him up on time, Cao Xuan washed his hands and bid farewell to his parents.

"Don't wait for me at night, just eat when you need to. My show is early, and I will be back before 09:30 in the evening."

"My mother and I don't have to worry about you, just play well."

"Your dad is right, you don't need to worry about us, sing with your heart, and mom cheers you on in front of the TV."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

After saying goodbye to their parents, Cao Xuan and Zhang Chong got into the car, first went to Jiang Yue's house to pick her up, then went to meet the dance team, and finally went straight to the CCTV main station.

Compared with the last time, there are far fewer reporters blocking the door this time. After all, people are celebrating the New Year too.

However, there are no reporters in the media. CCTV has set up a live broadcast interview team and broadcast it live on several CCTV sub-channels to create momentum for the Spring Festival Gala.

As soon as Cao Xuan entered the studio hall, he was caught by the host, answered a few questions, and greeted the audience in front of the TV with New Year's greetings.

The backstage of the Spring Festival Gala was busy and crowded. There were thousands of performers and behind-the-scenes staff, each with his own business. It was a mess.

Cao Xuan is one of the highlights of this year's Spring Festival Gala. The treatment is not bad, and there is an independent dressing room.

Originally, the backing dancers arranged make-up uniformly. Cao Xuan was afraid that a group of children would run around, so he kept all 20 little bunnies in his dressing room for the accompanying teacher and Jiang Yue to watch.

The adult dancer obeyed the unified arrangement, and he ran to Ren Xianqi's dressing room, which was not far away.

Xiao Qi sang solo and had no accompanying dancers. The dressing room consisted of himself, the agent and the makeup artist. When Cao Xuan came, he also had someone to chat with.

It was the first time for both of them to go to the Spring Festival Gala. It was a lie to say that they were not nervous. They chatted with each other and relieved their emotions.

But in the afternoon, the atmosphere in the whole backstage became more and more depressed and tense, and Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi were no longer in the mood to chat.

Cao Xuan simply went back to his dressing room to give Ren Xianqi some private space, and he also silently adjusted his preparations, waiting for the official performance to arrive.

.........

On New Year's Eve, thousands of families reunite to welcome the new year.

The TVs at home are also turned on one after another, looking forward to this year's Spring Festival Gala performance.

Backgammon Appliances endorsed by Li Lianjie grabbed the advertising space before the Spring Festival Gala. Against the background of the huge backgammon, the clock began to count down.

The bell rang, and at eight o'clock in the evening, the Spring Festival Gala officially started.

Along with the opening song and dance, the four hosts Zhao Zhongxiang, Ni Ping, Zhu Jun, and Zhou Tao filed out in a row, saying congratulatory speeches in a relay style.

Immediately afterwards, the second program began.

Sun Yue Xie Xiaodong sang "Happy Chinese New Year" with a cheerful melody. As the opening song program, it successfully completed the task of the hot field.

The third program is cross talk.

Cross talk by foreigners.

The leader is the one who has climbed the Spring Festival Gala several times, Jiang Kun's apprentice Canadian Dashan, and three foreigners, including an old black.

The level of cross talk, that's all, it's mainly because of the halo of foreigners, plus fluent Chinese.

After that, it was Fan Wei and Gao Xiumin's sketch "Comparing Hearts".

Last year, the Iron Triangle merged for the first time, and the effect was quite good. This year, Lao Zhao partnered with Song Dandan, and Fan and Gao also found a black girl to save a sketch.

It's a pity that without Lao Zhao, the quality of the sketches is average, and it also makes everyone understand who the real core of the Iron Triangle is.

In fact, Fan Wei has been on the Spring Festival Gala several times at this time, but he has always been a supporting role beside Zhao Benshan, not too popular.

His really famous work is "Selling Abduction" in 01, which was the god of the Iron Triangle World War I.

Since then, Fan Wei has become completely popular, and then he has cooperated with Zhao Benshan in many sketches, as well as TV dramas such as "Liu Laogen" and "Ma Dashuai", and finally became a golden partner of a generation of Northeast comedy.

Shortly after Fan Wei's sketch, it was Ren Xianqi's "The Girl Opposite Look Over"

Brother Qi, with half-long hair, first greeted everyone generously, and then began to sing.

"The girl across from look over here

look over, look over

The show here is great
Please don't pretend to ignore
 …”

The song itself is very light and playful. Ren Xianqi sang it with a relaxed and cheerful mood. The performance was very natural, and he walked off the stage and clapped and interacted with the audience. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

It is worth mentioning that in the 1999 Spring Festival Gala, all the members really sang. Maybe some details are not as perfect as the recorded version, but it is more real and can drive the audience.

Ren Xianqi's song is about 3 minutes long, and after singing, it will be Zhao Lirong's "The Veteran".

At this time, the old lady had already been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, but she insisted on going into battle with her illness. She also showed a wave of Tangshan-flavored English, leaving the audience with her last Spring Festival Gala memory.

When the old lady was still performing on stage, Cao Xuan also appeared in the backstage corridor of the studio to prepare, and there were about four more shows to come to him.

Two songs are sung together, an acrobatics, and the cross talk "Look at these two fathers" by Feng Gongniuqun.

This year is also the pair's last Spring Festival Gala collaboration. After that, Niu Qun became an official at the grassroots level, and then fell into a big somersault.

After Feng Gong and Niu Qun split their holes, they found Guo Donglin's partner again, making countless audiences remember Goubuli buns and Sun Wen who smoked pouches.

Later, Feng Gong began to tinker with sketches. Of course, the official statement is a cross talk drama. It has been performed for nearly 20 years, and he is the artist who has attended the Spring Festival Gala the most.

After Feng Gong, the next show is Cao Xuan.

Bringing the dancers to the side of the stage, Cao Xuan could clearly feel that some of the dancers were wheezing, and some of the children showed fearful expressions.

As the core of the team, Cao Xuan knew that he couldn't panic at this time, so he comfortably patted a few nervous backup dancers and little brats.

"Don't panic, according to our rehearsal, everything is mine."

For the courage of the three armies, seeing Cao Xuan's calm face, everyone's emotions gradually eased a lot.

This is, the song chorus program that preceded them also ended, and the host came to the stage.

"Brave Xuanxuan, not afraid of difficulties."

Cao Xuan recited the slogan to cheer himself up, took a deep breath, and walked to the stage amid the applause of the audience.
