China Entertainment 1997

January 23, 2001, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, is still a day without the New Year’s Eve.

As soon as Cao Xuan got up, he saw his uncle waving a knife to chop mutton. His cousin next to him was holding a pipe to flush water for him. When he saw him coming out, his uncle smiled.

"Xuanzi, this sheep is so tender, you can chop it open without any effort."

"The products in my shop are brought from Mongolia and grown on the grassland. They are less than a year old. You can try it later. It is very delicious. It is not as muttony as the mutton from our hometown."

"Okay, half of this sheep is used to cook mutton soup, and half is used to make mutton dumplings. Your dad said the mutton and zucchini stuffing is delicious. Let's try it later."

While chatting with his uncle, Cao Xuan asked his cousin to give him some water and wiped his face with a towel. The cold water stimulated him and he instantly became energetic.

"Is my grandma up?"

"Get up. I'm talking to your mother in the main room."

After hearing this, Cao Xuan walked forward. This is the new year in the capital. Five members of his uncle's family, three members of his aunt's family, four members of his second aunt's family, eight members of his uncle's family, four members of his brother-in-law's family, plus three members of his master's family. .

There were more than 20 people in the hotel, and Cao Xuan booked half of the hotel in one go.

According to the original plan, Li Xuejian's family lived at home, the couple lived in the west wing, and his junior brother Li Gen lived with Cao Xuan.

Later, Li Xuejian saw that Cao Xuan's uncles and uncles were all living in hotels. It was unreasonable that he, a master, could live at home, so he didn't want to live or die.

Fortunately, the two houses are not far away, so it is convenient to go home after the Chinese New Year. Just in case, Cao Xuan opened two more rooms. If it is too late and cannot go back, you can stay in a hotel.

Therefore, the west wing room was given to the uncle and his wife. Grandma Cao Xuan and Sun Lan lived there, while Cao Shuangguo and Mr. Cao Xuan lived together.

But today, because Cao Xuan was going to attend the Spring Festival Gala, Cao Shuangguo moved to the hotel and slept one night because he was afraid that Cao Xuan would not sleep well.

As soon as he entered the door, Cao Xuan saw Sun Lan and his aunt shouting something into his grandma's ear. When he saw his eldest grandson coming, the old lady immediately became happy.

The old lady is already over 70 years old, but she has no other problems except the deafness and small feet. She can still cook at home.

It was precisely because she was in good physical and mental condition that I dared to bring her here, otherwise I would have to wait until their family went back to see her.

"Grandma, I'm going to perform. I'll give you a shout when I come back in the evening."

"ah?"

Cao Xuan got used to it and shouted again with a raised voice. The old lady heard clearly this time and waved her hand: "Go, go, have a good show."

"Mom, I'm leaving then."

"Have you eaten? I'll make you something."

"No, there may be another rehearsal today. I have to go in advance. There is food there. Don't wait for me tonight. I'll call you after the performance."

"There's milk. You can take two packs."

Cao Xuan stuffed two boiled eggs and three packets of milk into his hands and went out to the CCTV headquarters. As time passed, relatives and friends also arrived.

Have a simple snack at noon, and then start the official New Year’s Eve dinner in the afternoon.

The man knows how to help in the kitchen, but not how to play cards nearby, while the woman makes dumplings and cooks, just for fun.

The children were either watching TV or going to Cao Xuan's computer to watch and play games. If they were a little quieter, they would read a book.

Cao Xuan has a lot of books at home, including various music, film and television theoretical knowledge books, Jin Yong's complete martial arts series, Gu Long's complete martial arts series, selected works of Mao Zedong, and various magazines.

Most of them are history books, such as "Twenty-Four Histories", "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Historical Records".

Cao Xuan doesn't have much time to read at home. When he goes out, he always takes a few books with him, both to recharge his batteries and to relieve his boredom.

There are no smart phones these days, so he often flies in the sky and runs on the ground, relying on the books in his hands to pass the time.

Among the crowd, the one who attracted the most attention was Li Xuejian.

Don't look at Cao Xuanhuo, but he has been seen by this group of relatives since he was a child.

Crotchless pants, bare buttocks, peeing and mud, firewood piles lit, mixed sex beatings by parents...

He knew all the embarrassing things, which made the impression on him too deep. Even though he knew that he was going to be successful, he didn't regard him as a great star.

But Li Xuejian was different. At that time, "Desire" became popular all over the country, and the whole country admired Song Dacheng. Jiao's movies were often screened in the countryside, not to mention "Water Margin" Song Jiang, which made people in Shandong Province crazy.

Like Cao Shuangguo and Sun Lan back then, everyone believed that Li Xuejian was a real big shot different from Cao Xuan.

Shandong Province has strong traditional values ​​and is definitely one of the top provinces in the country when it comes to respecting teachers and teaching.

In everyone's opinion, Li Xuejian is the master of his nephew/nephew, that is, he is a distinguished guest in the family, and he is very respected. Li Xuejian has no airs at all.

The two most popular card games in Shandong Province are the level and the royal. The former is generally played in Zao City, and both are played in Dutch City.

Li Xuejian left his hometown when he was a teenager and has lived in many provinces since then. In fact, he is not very good at it. He mainly performs for Cao Shuangguo, Dajiu and other senior men.

So a scene was staged in Dashizuo Siheyuan that only people from Shandong province could understand.

A group of big men shrank their heads, hid their hands in their arms, and shook their calves. They were no longer honest and honest in the past, engaging in intrigues, duplicity, and intrigues.

The acting skills of Li Xuejian, the Golden Rooster Best Actor, are not even ranked among them.

When he first started playing cards, he screamed in a cowardly manner, but when he played the cards, he screamed and smashed the cards, banged his fingers on the table without shouting, and started shouting wildly and provocatively.

After playing cards, we have to review the game together and have a heated discussion. Who played the cards, how many cards were played, and the big and small numbers. Everyone remembers it better than what grade their children are in.

Li Gen, who grew up in Beijing, was shocked when he saw this scene for the first time.

The other children were not surprised at all, and even some with itchy hands followed to watch the fun. As long as they talked cheaply about cards, a kick would be considered a minor offense.

It was lively and lively until the evening. There were three tables, two large and one small, in the main room, one for men and one for women. Children went to the small tables. If they couldn't sit down, they crowded in with the adults.

This is also the rule here in Lu Province. Men and women sit at separate tables. Firstly, women don't drink. Secondly, women can easily stop drinking. More importantly, there are too many people to sit down.

But later on, this situation became less common. In rural areas, it was fine, but in cities, everyone usually ate together.

"Have you left any food for Xuanzi?"

Although several people were eating, Cao Daguo still occupied the C position and gave orders.

"I've kept the vegetables and dumplings. You can eat them as soon as they're hot."

"That's fine. The child has agreed in advance. There's no need to wait for him. Let's eat first.

Today, thanks to Xuanzi, our family gathers together to celebrate the new year in a lively and reunited way. This is a good thing, and I am very happy. I will bring you a drink to celebrate our happy gathering today. "

After that, he drank it all in one gulp, and others followed suit. People like Li Xuejian who couldn't drink drank tea instead of wine, but no matter what they drank, the atmosphere was indeed good.

After eating some food and chatting for a while, the Spring Festival Gala finally started at 8 o'clock on the TV side.

A few children who were eating quickly or wanted to watch TV moved closer to the TV. The adults greeted them with "Short piece/Your brother comes out and calls me" and continued eating.

The opening song and dance of this year's Spring Festival Gala is still Sun Yue's partner with another male singer. The song title "It's So Good Today" is lively and cheerful, and it has a good warm-up effect.

The second one is the queen of folk songs. The classic song "Better and Better" she sang was one of the most popular songs in 2001.

The third one is the sketch, "Matchmaker" performed by Guo Da, Cai Ming and others.

When they heard that it was a sketch, the adults who were eating and drinking gathered around. This is also the norm in the Spring Festival Gala. It doesn't matter if you listen to the songs or not, and the sketches and cross talk are usually watched.

The sketch "Matchmaker" means that the director directs the play and the actors are confused, using various contrasts and accidents to create burdens.

In a sense, this is also a representative model of the Spring Festival Gala. The first Spring Festival Gala skit "Eating Noodles" was based on this model.

Later, Chen Xiaoer found another way and used this model to create a sketch "Protagonist and Supporting Role".

Later, Feng Gong and Huang Hong also used this model in the Spring Festival Gala to varying degrees, and sketch teams outside the Spring Festival Gala also had similar works, such as Laughing Brothers and Happy Twist.

Many people underestimate Guo Dastanson's comedy ability, but as a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala, his comedy ability is outstanding.

It's just that Guo Da's performance is not intense, which makes the audience less impressed with him. But in fact, whenever you look at his works, a smile will always be on your face.

His collaboration with Cai Ming is a famous golden partner in the Spring Festival Gala, second only to Lao Zhao Baiyun Heitu and Iron Triangle, as well as Zhao Gong's "Mother and Son" and Chen Zhu's sketch combination.

At the peak of their cooperation, Lao Zhao was basically in first place, and they competed with Huang Hong and Feng for second place.

After Guo Da withdrew from the Spring Festival Gala, Cai Ming was better off during the first two years of his transformation into a sharp-tongued old lady. However, he was scolded every year for the rest of the year, which also made countless people miss Guo Da Stanson.

At this stage, after many years of combination, Guo Da and Cai Ming have become one of the signatures of language programs, and the effect is also good, making everyone laugh.

After "The Matchmaker" was performed, the two songs and dances were crossed, which was Feng Gong and Guo Junjie's cross talk "Instrumental".

It is said to be a cross talk, but in fact it is almost the same as a sketch. It is also Feng Gong's test of transforming into a cross talk drama, and it is also called makeup cross talk.

This cross talk is actually similar in structure to "The Matchmaker". It's also a director's audition, with two actors trying to undermine each other.

I don’t know how the director team reviewed it and made the two language programs conflict with each other, but the results were both good.

In particular, Feng and Guo's "Advancement" is quite famous in later generations, and it can be regarded as the most eye-catching program of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

It can be said that Feng and Guo have become famous golden partners in the Spring Festival Gala after just a few collaborations. It is because the show is so brilliant that many people have forgotten their original partner Niu Qun.

After reading this paragraph, the uncle looked at the time: "When will Xuanzi come out? It's almost 9 o'clock."

"It's almost there. He said his program was very good, ranked ninth."

"It's almost there. There were four or five songs and skits just now. It'll be there in another ten minutes."

Just as we were talking, it was time for Li Wen's show. His fiery and passionate dance attracted many gentlemen to watch secretly. The children were not very impressed and just counted the shows and waited for Cao Xuan.

After Li Wen, two more programs passed, and the host finally mentioned Cao Xuan. After the curtain call, the cast appeared.
