1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 3 The Spring Festival Gala and the Legend of the White Snake
January 1, New Year's Eve.

Jiang Xiaofeng ate the most sumptuous dinner in the cafeteria together with all the uncles, masters, masters, and brothers who practiced martial arts throughout the year.

Unlike the vegetarian monks in the temple, lay disciples like Jiang Xiaofeng, monks who specialize in martial arts, at least have eggs for every meal, and occasionally meat dishes such as pig's trotters and pork belly.

There was no other way. If the monks didn't eat meat, they wouldn't be able to endure high-intensity training.

And this New Year's Eve dinner, there was not only mutton on the table, but also chicken, ribs, black fungus, yuba, etc., and each person was given a bottle of Jianlibao in a can, which made everyone very happy.

The guys who practice martial arts are all manual laborers, and they practice unshakably every day. As soon as each dish is served, it will be wiped out in less than 2 minutes.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Jiang Xiaofeng and the big guys gathered in front of a 12-inch black and white Sharp TV in the cafeteria to watch the 1993 CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

In terms of form, the stage of this year's Spring Festival Gala adopts a three-dimensional stage structure-the stage is located in the center of the auditorium.

Before the actors go on stage, they all sit in the auditorium; when it's time to go on stage, they go directly onto the stage, and when the performance is over, they walk off the stage again.

This kind of stage makes the relationship between actors and audience no longer on and off stage, and the audience also has a sense of participation.

In terms of content, in addition to the three mainland hosts Zhao Zhongxiang, Ni Ping, and Yang Lan, the Spring Festival Gala also invited Liang Yanling, Li Qingan, and Zhang Yongquan from Xiangjiang, Taiwan Province, and Singapore. The program was transcribed with the program of CCTV, and interviewed Zhang Xiaoyan, Zhang Min, Huang Zhan and other important figures in the entertainment industry.

The auspicious atmosphere in which Chinese people from all over the world spend the Spring Festival together is fully highlighted.

For the big guys, the most anticipated program is not beautiful singing and dancing, nor acrobatics, but sketches and songs.

In all fairness, Zhao Bensan collaborated with Yan Shuping, Wang Zhongqing, and Su Jie on the skit "The Boss Wife", which was one of his previous programs with a relatively low level, and the response was quite mediocre.

On the contrary, the cross talk "Auction" brought by Niu Qun and Feng Gong attracted more laughter and applause.

In the program "Auction", Niu Qun and Feng Gong ridiculed celebrities such as Zhao Benshan, Gong Li, Shilapuna, etc., and did not forget to "self-deprecating" - Zhao Bensan's hat, Gong Li rode in "Red Sorghum" The white hair of the donkey and Shilapuna all fetched high prices. Only Feng Gong's "name" was sold at a lower and lower price, and finally sold for 2 cents.

Aaron Kwok, one of the four heavenly kings of Xiangjiang, wore a mushroom-like hairstyle in four and six parts, and brought a singing and dancing song "Give All My Love to You", singing the love declaration of the younger generation.

Taiwanese singer Wang Jie, as a wanderer, brought some vicissitudes and sentimentality. With a song "Going Home", on the stage of this Spring Festival Gala, he expressed the feeling of going home and touched countless audiences.

Soon after, the melody of "The Sound of the Waves Are Still" sounded, and the singing sound drifted into the ears of thousands of people.

"The moon is setting and the crowing is always the wind and frost of a thousand years. The sound of the waves is still the same. I don't see the night before. How can you and I repeat yesterday's story today? Can this old ticket board your passenger ship..."

This is a popular song adapted from the famous poem "Fengqiao Night Mooring" by Zhang Ji, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty. The singer is Mao Ning, who just won the most popular male singer in Guangfu Province.

Mao Ning on the stage, wearing a suit, tie, and a long white scarf, is young, handsome, and personable. Coupled with his affectionate but not sad singing voice, he has become the prince of love songs in the hearts of countless audiences, and has also become a household name. superstar.

After watching CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, Jiang Xiaofeng was very excited and excited, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

The content of tonight's Spring Festival Gala once again confirmed to Jiang Xiaofeng that the dreams about his previous life were real.

Because before he watched this year's Spring Festival Gala, he had a deep impression on most of the program content of the Spring Festival Gala.

The next day, New Year's Day.

early morning.

"When, when, when..."

When the bell of the Daxiong Palace rang, Jiang Xiaofeng woke up from his sleep, then quickly put on his monk's robes, and ran to the Daxiong Hall with Huang Baoqiang and his brothers.

The sonorous, clear, and exciting bell rang through the entire temple, and it also gave Jiang Xiaofeng a sense of enlightenment.

The Daxiong Hall is a place for Buddhist activities in the temple, surrounded by verdant old trees, it is quite quiet, and it looks particularly solemn and majestic against the backdrop of the stairs and the building of the hall.

Because this day is the Lunar New Year, there are quite a lot of local people who come to the temple to pray. There is a bronze incense burner in front of the Daxiong Hall, where they burn incense and pray.

The monks in the temple meditate on the ground, chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha.

Jiang Xiaofeng was also muttering words. On the surface, he looked like a pious monk, but his thoughts had already wandered into space and drifted away to the sky.

From Jiang Xiaofeng's point of view, this is probably the last time in his life to celebrate the New Year in Shaolin Temple, because he will leave here soon to embark on a new journey.

March 2th, late.

CCTV's third program, the myth drama "Legend of the New White Snake" starring Zhao Yazhi, Ye Tong, Chen Meiqi, etc. was broadcast for the first time.

Once this drama was aired, it caused a great sensation in the mainland. It was a mess of popularity. No matter the city or the countryside, almost every TV in every household was broadcasting the drama "Legend of the New White Snake" .

In fact, as early as November last year, this costume myth TV series "incorporating elements of music, song, dance and opera" was premiered in Taiwan Province, and the ratings at that time were as high as 11%.

After CCTV aired this drama, the ratings even reached 43%. It is definitely a phenomenal classic TV drama.

And the disciples of Shaolin Temple also watch the drama "Legend of the New White Snake" every night on time in front of the TV.

After "The New White Snake Creates Wonders" was broadcast, many brothers and sisters had a dream lover in their hearts, which was the White Snake played by Zhao Yazhi.

Of course, there are also many seniors who like Xiaoqing, Bilian, sister Xu Xian, and Master Guanyin.

However, generally speaking, most people still prefer The White Snake and her actor Zhao Yazhi.

After watching "Legend of the New White Snake", Huang Baoqiang couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, and asked Jiang Xiaofeng: "Second Senior Brother, which female star do you think is the most beautiful?"

Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't tell which female star was the prettiest, but the one he wanted to see most now was Zhou Huimin.

If it was before, Jiang Xiaofeng would say Zhou Huimin's name without thinking, but since he had that dream, his views on many things have changed.

He believes that people's aesthetics are not static. Maybe he likes Zhou Huimin now, but after a while, he may like another female star.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and asked back: "You're a big kid, why are you asking this?"

Huang Baoqiang scratched his head, showed his white teeth, and asked with a smile: "Second senior brother, do you think Zhao Yazhi, who plays the role of White Lady, looks good?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said unhappily: "Of course it looks good, do you still need to ask?"

Hearing what Jiang Xiaofeng said, Huang Baoqiang felt as if he had found a confidant, and said with a smile: "Second brother, I also like Zhao Yazhi, I think she is not like a snake spirit at all, more like a gentle and kind fairy! I don't like Xu Xian, I don't think she looks like a man at all!"

Jiang Xiaofeng said angrily and amusedly: "The actor who played Xu Xian was originally a woman, how could she look like a man."

Huang Baoqiang felt that Jiang Xiaofeng was teasing him, and asked in disbelief: "Second senior brother, are you lying to me? How could Xu Xian be a woman? Isn't he a man?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said calmly: "Bao Qiang, let me tell you this, the role of Xu Xian is a man, yes, but the actor playing Xu Xian is a woman, a woman disguised as a man, understand?"

Huang Baoqiang shook his head first, then nodded again.

Seeing that Huang Baoqiang was dubious, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't bother to explain to Huang Baoqiang, whether he believed it or not.

Soon, Huang Baoqiang stopped worrying about whether Xu Xian was a man or a woman, and said with great anticipation: "Second Senior Brother, if I want to marry a wife in the future, I must marry someone like Zhao Yazhi."

Jiang Xiaofeng thought of the memory of his previous life in the dream, and he didn't deliberately hit Huang Baoqiang, a junior, but reminded him: "Then you have to keep your eyes open, don't grow up, and really find a goblin to go home!"

Huang Baoqiang said confidently: "Second senior brother, you underestimate me too much, don't think I'm honest and not very smart, but who treats me well and who treats me badly, can I still not tell the difference?"

Jiang Xiaofeng sighed helplessly: "Bao Qiang, people's hearts are separated by belly, so don't take human nature too simple and superficial."

Seeing the serious face of the second senior brother, Huang Baoqiang didn't dare to talk back, and nodded with half understanding: "I know the second senior brother, I will definitely keep my eyes open, and I will never be fooled by the goblin!"
