The literary era since 1979

Chapter 319 Unforgettable Tonight
"Qin Nan!"

"It's Gong Xing! Gong Xing!"

When Gong Xing's face appeared on TV, the girls watching couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

For a moment, not only the women in the family, but also the fathers who had originally had no interest in the TV sat in front of the TV.

Since the release of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" and "Under the Bridge" last year, Gong Xing's national popularity has skyrocketed. She has become a role model for women in pursuit of fashion, and a screen goddess and dream lover in the minds of men.

Even the last issue of "Popular Movies" last year featured a photo of Gong Xing holding the Golden Rooster trophy on the cover of the magazine.

The eye-catching headline reads, "China's Yamaguchi Momoe".

Such a popular female star appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and sang the opening song, which immediately locked the attention of the national audience firmly on the TV screen. She and Wang Fei led the Galaxy Children's Art Troupe to sing in unison.

"A smile is brilliant,

Singing a song makes me feel relaxed.

Collecting every little bit, a little happiness..."

The accompaniment of the harmonica and the harmony of children's voices convey a warm, comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, making people hum along unconsciously.

If nothing unexpected happens, "Little Happiness" will become another children's song widely sung on campus after "Let's Row the Boat Together", just like "The Lone Brave Man" and "Reverse War", and will be sung over and over again by little friends.

After the song is sung, the Spring Festival Gala truly begins.

Zhu Shimao, Zhao Zhongxiang, Jiang Kun and others all appeared on the stage, and there were two more hosts from Taiwan and Hong Kong respectively.

The man is Huang Ayuan and the woman is Chen Sisi.

"Oh, why are there hosts from Hong Kong and Taiwan?"

Yang Xia stared at the TV, unable to take her eyes off.

"Mom, doesn't this imply that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong are one family?" Fang Hong said with a smile, "Xiaoxiang said that this was Yanzi's idea."

"Iwako's idea..."

Yang Xia blinked, and the sound stopped abruptly. She saw the light on the screen dimmed, and a line of words appeared:

"Song: My Chinese Heart, Performer: Zhang Mingrui, Chinese Hong Kong singer."

The next second, Zhang Mingmin stepped onto the stage, wearing a British-style suit and retro gold-rimmed glasses, looking gentle and yet trendy.

While he was singing on the stage, Mr. Wu looked at Fangyan, who was sitting at the same table, with a kind look:

"Xiao Fang, your idea of ​​inviting singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan to the Spring Festival Gala is great."

"If you think it's good, you can continue to use it in future Spring Festival Galas and invite stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan to every Spring Festival Gala."

Fang Yan said: "We can even go a step further and invite overseas Chinese compatriots to the Spring Festival Gala."

Mr. Wu nodded with satisfaction. "You have been in the cultural system for a long time. Have you ever thought about changing your environment?"

Before Fangyan could speak, Zhu Muzhi next to him was the first to disagree.

Fang Xiaojiang is the beloved of their cultural system, and the radio and television system should never think of taking his love away!
Facing the gazes of the two, Fang Yan politely declined: "Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your kindness, but I have been seconded from October to People's Literature. Next, I will do my best to cooperate with Editor-in-Chief Wang Meng and make some achievements in the editorial department..."

"Seconded to People's Literature?!"

Mr. Wu couldn't help but understand and said it was a pity that he was one step late.

Zhu Muzhi said: "Xiao Fang, after you go to People's Literature, you must find a way to revive this magazine created by Mr. Mao!"

"Obligated!"

Fangyan made a solemn promise, and with a glance at the stage, he saw Gong Xing facing the camera, announcing the next program with a smile.

“Dance “Spirit of the Bird”, performed by Yang Liping, China National Song and Dance Company.”

The lights suddenly went out, followed by a few beams of white light, and light music sounded, as if a peacock was bathing in the moonlight.

It is proud and aloof, dancing gracefully by the water and flowers...

The hand trembled softly and bonelessly, slowly spreading to the whole body, sometimes like spring water, sometimes like flowing clouds.

There are many kinds of beauty. When you look at that figure, you first feel it is soft and beautiful, and gradually, a kind of uprightness is revealed in the softness.

Yang Liping's beauty is extremely proud and majestic, just like a peacock that is not of this world.

She is truly the most beautiful Mei Chaofeng!
Fangyan secretly admired it in his heart, but also felt a little regretful.

Nowadays, due to the extreme lack of spiritual and cultural life, ordinary people think everything is good and new.

But when Western imported products such as breakdance and rock and roll poured in, folk dance and folk music gradually became less popular among young people. Fortunately, Southern Henan TV has persisted.

"Night Banquet in the Tang Palace", "Flying Apsaras of Dunhuang", "Water Ode to the Goddess of Luo River"...

The unique charm of Chinese culture lies in these grand feasts of national style. At this moment, the audience at the scene and even in front of the TV can fully feel what is meant by "the beauty of nature and nation".

With the end of "The Soul of the Bird", the Spring Festival Gala moved from the early stage to the middle stage. The songs were sung, the dances were performed, and the atmosphere was almost warm. Then came the bombardment of wonderful programs one after another.

First it was "Cosmic Cigarettes", then "A Day of a Heroic Mother".

Zhao Lirong's sketches rely neither on body movements like Chen Peisi's nor on humorous language like Zhao Benshan's.

The whole style is just like her image as an old lady, close to life and extremely friendly, as if an old grandmother is entertaining the children and happily celebrating the New Year.

And it is full of memorable moments, like the later "Tango Plays Tango Tango Walks", "Spicy Shredded Chicken", and "My Heart Will Go On".

Each sketch taken individually can resonate with hundreds of millions of people, such as "A Day in the Life of a Heroic Mother".

"Sima Guang smashes the jar!"

"Sima Gang smashes the Gang!"

"Sima Guang smashes the jar!"

"Sima Guang smashed it all!"

"Sima Gang!"

"Oh, wrong, wrong...
The audience laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes, and the people in front of the TV were staggering with laughter.

"Oh my, this is so funny!"

"This old lady is amazing!"

"What's her name? Zhao, Zhao Lirong!"

"Noted. Will Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi be on this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

"Yes, yes, yes, will they be on the show? Last year's Pepper Noodles was so exciting that I couldn't sleep all night."

"There should be, CCTV will not let us down, it is a TV station that serves our people!"

With the eager anticipation of audiences across the country, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala did not disappoint.

Following "Pepper Noodles", Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao performed "Eating Noodles", which was also the first appearance of "Chen Xiaoer"!
"Speak! Speak!"

"Speak!"

"Lines!"

"Lines!"

It starts with just a bowl and a bucket, but with Chen Peisi's superb non-physical performance, it brings out one joke after another.

The more the audience watched, the more excited they were. The more excited they were, the hungrier they felt. They were forced to starve from watching.

"Mom, I want to eat noodles too!"

"What noodles are you eating? Wait until the dumplings are out of the pot, and then we'll have a good meal! They're stuffed with pork and chives!"

After the skit, it was already past 11 o'clock. Every household started eating dumplings and the party entered its final stage.

Afterwards, Gong Xing and all the other hosts came on stage, with the timing just right, and there was no dark moment of "three minutes of darkness".

The clock struck twelve on time.

"Tonight I will never forget the touching feelings of family love, and tonight I will never forget the sincere blessings..."

"The Spring Festival Gala ends here. Thank you for watching..."

“Wow!

Amid the applause, the finale song "Unforgettable Tonight" was played.

"I will never forget this night. I will never forget this night."

"No matter where in the world we live, China embraces us all.
Let us wish the motherland well, the motherland well..."

Every household ate dumplings and sang songs.

Suddenly, lines of words appeared below the TV.

The content is basically to invite the audience to vote for their favorite programs of the 1984 Spring Festival Gala by phone or letter, so as to select the final award for the most popular program.

For a time, almost all TV viewers across the country were puzzled.

In the language category, should I choose "A Day of a Heroic Mother" or "Eating Noodles"?
The song choices were even more numerous and difficult, so much so that the kids who couldn’t make a decision had to play “dot dot dot”:
"Dot the beans, one, two, three, four, five, who's left?"
