Several households in the Wang family in Xiaowangzhuang have been very lively these days. Although many households in the village already have TV sets, they have never seen a large color TV set. Some people who have TV sets at home will come to watch the TV set.
"Yesterday, Wang Xianjing's family slaughtered two fat pigs in a row. Their generosity shocked the whole village and gave them thumbs up.
Tonight is New Year¡¯s Eve. Naturally, there are no people watching TV. They are all having reunion dinner at their own homes. However, the separated families of the Wang family gathered together, and more than twenty people could not sit down in the main room, so they had to set up an awning in the courtyard to celebrate the New Year.
The large color TV has also been moved to the door, and the Spring Festival Gala is not to be missed.
Wang Xianzhi complained to Wang Zijun while holding a glass of wine: "This boy, after finally coming back to celebrate the New Year, he went to a party!"
Wang Xianjing smiled and said: "Second brother, it is not easy to be on the central stage. It is better for my son to have a future than anything else."
¡°It¡¯s begun, the party has begun!¡± a junior member of the Wang family suddenly shouted.
Everyone who was originally paying attention to the fat on the table also turned their attention to the TV.
It didn¡¯t have all the bells and whistles of later Spring Festival Galas. It started with the subtitles of the 1985 Spring Festival Gala very simply, and then Zhao Zhongxiang came out to announce the start of the Spring Festival Gala. Teacher Zhao is not the host, nor is he the announcer. Well, he can barely be regarded as the emcee of the party. He usually said those few words at the beginning of the party.
The gongs and drums sounded in celebration, and dozens of Peking Opera actors dressed as various monkeys appeared on the stage. In this era of lack of entertainment, both adults and children watched with gusto.
And Wang Zijun was sitting at the party watching. But I couldn't help but want to shake my head. The background of the monkey scene was too monotonous, so I went to the Beijing Film Studio to have several "Flower and Fruit Mountain" scenery boards made.
It would be great if we could get some LED displays.
"The golden wind brings good news, the winter jasmine flowers have bloomed,
The gongs and drums of spring thunder are beating in February. "
The monkey show is still being performed, but the sound of gongs and drums is very cleverly transformed into the prelude music of "Happy Chinese Year". The singing started first, and then Ms. Banban, a singer from Hong Kong, stepped down the steps to the stage. She was the first to appear, and she had considered it because she was a professional singer and could give her a head start.
Five hosts came out one after another singing songs. Let the audience's eyes light up, which is much more interesting than the previous two years of strictly introducing oneself and congratulating the New Year.
By the time the opening song was finished, the audience was already discussing in low voices while the hosts were talking.
"This song is very nice."
"Yes, it's festive and auspicious. I don't know which teacher wrote it."
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Ma Ji can not only speak cross talk, but also sing well.¡±
""
The original second program, ancient music ensemble, has now become the first program.
This program not only has shengxiao, harp and flute. There are also large chimes. The original program was simply played music, and it was the kind of light ancient music that lasted for several minutes. Unless you were a professional musician or an enthusiast of ancient music, it would be difficult for ordinary people to appreciate it.
At Wang Zijun¡¯s suggestion, various musical instruments were moved back on the stage, and a folk dance was added in front. The dancers are female teachers specially invited from the Central Dance Academy. After several days of surprise rehearsals, although there are still flaws in the coordination with the music, the ancient music is paired with the dancing of beauties in ancient costumes, and the originally boring and decadent classical style immediately becomes vivid, and the viewing experience has been doubled.
The young people sitting in front of the TV at this time. But he stared at the dancing woman. The Dunhuang-style gauze dress exposes the belly, and the skirt is fluttering like a fairy on the stage. This is rare in the conservative mainland nowadays. A twist of the waist and hips can make a man's body heat up.
"Okay!" After the program ended, the audience applauded, but the chief director Huang Yihe looked at the central leaders and saw that the leaders were smiling and applauding gently. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was dancing with his belly exposed and his waist exposed on the spring night. Before, he was afraid of being scolded as obscene, shameless and immoral.
Subsequent songs such as "Love Across the Rivers and Mountains" and "The Great Wall Will Never Fall Down" did not arouse much response because these two TV series have not yet been broadcast in mainland China, and there are relatively few people who can understand Cantonese.
Until the music of "Du Qing" sounded, the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV were in high spirits. "The Legend of White Snake" has been replayed countless times by TV stations across the country in mainland China. Various theme songs from the episodes have been made into tapes and sold all over the street. Even those who have not watched the TV series are familiar with these songs. .
"The beauty of West Lake is beautiful in March.
The spring rain is like wine and willows are like smoke.
We are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away,
It¡¯s hard to hold the other person¡¯s hand if you don¡¯t have the chance
¡¡±
"White Snake, it's White Snake!"
The moment Zhao Yazhi appeared in a white costume, countless people across the country stood up excitedly in front of the TV. As for Huang Ayuan, who sang duet with Zhao Yazhi, he was completely ignored. Who cares who this ordinary-looking man is?
The next song "Waiting Once in a Thousand Years" set off the first climax of the whole party. After singing, many audience members stood up and applauded with excitement.
Wang Zijun¡¯s eyes were focused on the photographer at the scene. Since the photographer didn¡¯t even use a crane for this kind of live broadcast party, you can imagine how dull the TV picture was.
There were too many dramas in the following programs, and each program was too long, which once again made the atmosphere dull. Wang Zijun has nothing to do about this. He can't produce a bunch of good programs in a few days.
There were a few cross talk sketches that brought a lot of laughter to the audience. In addition, the song "Moon on the 15th" was also quite popular.
The program lasted for a total of four hours and ten minutes. Many of the central leaders were elderly, so it was naturally impossible for them to fill up the time. About halfway through the program, they left one after another during the break between the programs.
After a few hours, the program became more and more boring, and some viewers fell asleep in front of the TV.
At Wang Xianjing¡¯s house, everyone had finished their meal and moved from the open-air courtyard to the main room. The family sat in front of the TV and kept vigil.
Wang Shuhan and the children Lin Yi, Wang Xi, Wang Feiyu, and Wang Shiya were not interested in watching this long and drawn-out party, so they met and went outside to set off fireworks and firecrackers.
The children of the Wang family originally wanted to watch TV, but they couldn't resist the temptation of the fireworks and followed them out, watching with envy as they played with luxurious gadgets. After playing for a long time, all the children in the village were attracted. Wang Shuhan proudly moved all the fireworks out of the house and set them off one by one.
Lin Fengjiao was afraid that his son would be in danger while playing with fireworks, so he followed him out to keep an eye on him. There is no light pollution in the rural areas of North China, but the night scene in Taipei is much better. Lin Fengjiao didn't take long to see the bored Audrey Hepburn and Lin Qingxia out of the room to set off fireworks.
Wang Shuquan kept mumbling: "Why doesn't Auntie show up yet? I'm still waiting for her to sing."
The Spring Festival Gala program team did not make any big announcement about Teresa Teng's participation in the Spring Festival Gala. They were afraid that something might happen in the middle and she would not be able to come off the stage. So until the show aired, most viewers didn't know that Teresa Teng would appear.
"Now let's invite Ms. Teresa Teng from Taiwan! Ms. Teng will sing three songs this time, namely the familiar Cantonese song "The Long Road to Life" and two new songs composed by Mr. Wang Zijun "Love and Hard Work Will Win" and "Blessing""
When the host announced Teresa Teng¡¯s name, the audience was already excited.
¡°Mom, come and watch TV, there¡¯s Teresa Teng!¡±
"Husband, second uncle, stop playing cards and come and see Teresa Teng!"
""
The situation of inviting friends and companions appears in various places in China, and those loyal fans of Teresa Teng are even more surprised and shouting.
What is even more surprising are mainland musicians. They may have regular jobs or hang out without a job, but they are all doing the same thing, which is stripping. That is, listening to foreign or Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, and then manually picking out the melody and lyrics, and then singing it yourself or recording it for others - this is how the various tapes in the streets originally came from.
Many of the foreign songs they sang have been translated into Chinese, and the lyrics are well written. But no matter how formal it is, that's because the original producer's consent was never obtained from production to distribution.
Nowadays, Teresa Teng not only appears in the Spring Festival Gala, but also sings two new songs at once. Why not make these "underground" musicians happy?
If you can, you can record the program directly on your home video recorder, if you can't, you can record it on the spot with your ears sharpened. However, the Hokkien song "You Will Win If You Work Hard" left the musicians scratching their heads. There were no subtitles in the live broadcast. Who can understand it except for people from certain places in the south?
"It hurts to leave,
Although parting is in sight.
Say goodbye,
Goodbye won¡¯t be too far away.
If there is fate,
If you are destined, you can look forward to tomorrow,
You and I meet again in the glorious season
¡¡±
This song by Zhang Geshen makes Teresa Teng feel completely different when singing it. It is definitely the style of Teresa Teng that is as gentle as water, with a bit more playful resentment.
"Underground" musicians focused their attention on "Blessings", and those who had videos of the show did not care about the New Year's Eve.In the evening, everyone stayed up late until their eyes were red.
But everything is worth it. Nowadays, the most popular singer in mainland China is Teresa Teng, and even Wang Zijun has to take a back seat. Every one of Teresa Teng's songs has been covered by mainland singers, and they have been released and sold in a grand manner. The two new songs she sang on New Year's Eve will definitely become a big hit in the new year.
The New Year¡¯s bell rang and the party came to an end.
As soon as the party ended, Huang Yihe hurried over, held Wang Zijun's hand, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Wang, thank you so much, otherwise my old face would be completely disgraced!"
Huang Yihe had watched the live TV broadcast before, and many of the shortcomings that Wang Zijun raised but could not change were clearly revealed. If the opening of the party was as slow and boring as the opera programs that followed, the party would definitely be criticized. (To be continued)
