1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 337: The Spirit of the Times...

The story of the creation of the song "Devotion of Love" is inseparable from a TV program called "People and People", which draws on a wide range of materials.

"Devotion of Love" is based on the heartwarming story between Nie Weiping's family and his nanny Gong Yixia.

In 85, 15-year-old nanny Xiaoxia from Anhui Province timidly walked into the home of chess master Nie Weiping. She had always worked hard and diligently in Nie's family. But two years later, Xiaoxia was unfortunately diagnosed with a huge bone tumor in her spine.

Nie Weiping and his second sister did their best to help Xiaoxia, and they also joined forces with caring people to help Xiaoxia raise a huge amount of medical expenses, allowing her to gain a new life.

“This is the call of the heart, this is the devotion of love, this is the spring breeze of the world, this is the source of life…”

Wei Wei, dressed in a red robe, sat at a round table in the audience and sang directly on a red artificial leather stainless steel folding chair!

But what Xia Tian cared about the most were the two huge golden earrings she was wearing - they were so big! Wouldn't they be too big to fall off?

He is a bit "hard-hearted", but others are really moved!
Especially the scene at the scene - the nanny Xiaoxia crying in the arms of the chess master sister, it was extremely contagious.

"No more heartless desert
There is no more wasteland of love

Even the god of death stays away

Flowers of happiness bloom everywhere

Ah~~~As long as everyone gives a little love
The world will become a beautiful place..."

Wei Wei's song "Devotion of Love" almost made the audience across the country cry.

After this year's Spring Festival Gala, this song that calls for social responsibility and embodies human warmth and touching moments became popular all over the country. Even after 20 or 30 years, this song is still labeled as a public welfare song!

This simple and beautiful love story is just a microcosm of the relationship between rural nannies and employers in Yanjing at that time.

"Little nanny" is also a popular word these days!
In fact, in the 5.5s, Xiaoxia’s hometown, Wuwei County, Anhui Province, was once known as the “Hometown of Chinese Nannies”. It is said that at that time there were about women from Wuwei County working as nannies in Yanjing and other places.

Chen Xiaoqing, the original director of "A Bite of China", filmed a documentary called "Far Away in BJ's Home" in 92, telling the story of several girls from Wuwei County working as nannies in BJ...

At this time, everyone was still generally simple.

Thirty years later, there will be endless news about nannies harming the elderly and children...

Then, there was a more special program in which officers and soldiers from the army, navy, air force and armed police forces sang together.

Then came Ju Jingwei’s song “Ode to Heroes”!
"The smoke of war is rolling, and the heroic songs are sung..."

There is no need to say anything about this song!
The movie "Heroic Sons and Daughters" can still move people's hearts even decades later.

And this Ju Jingwei is also a disciple of Mr. Jin of the Central Conservatory of Music. He has many students all over the world.
After the song was sung, the audience stood up and applauded! This is the spirit of the last era!

After Ma Ji’s crosstalk, it was Yang Liping’s turn to dance. It was a “complex” of three dances – “Soul of Dance”, “Three Colors of Banna” and “Peacock”!
Last year, she won everyone's praise with "The Spirit of the Bird". Otherwise, she would not have been invited again this year.

Apart from anything else, he is really good at dancing. He has devoted his whole life to dancing!
After a double act, it was already past nine o'clock.

It’s time for the second summer program—his singing is indispensable every year.

"Please enjoy the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", sung by Xia Tian."

Xia Tian came onto the stage wearing a Han Dynasty costume with wide robes and big sleeves, a tall crown on his head, and a handsome face - he even came with a Han Dynasty sword!

No one could tell that this was the somewhat silly "director" in the skit on stage not long ago!

Xia Tian bowed and toasted first to the audience and then to the musicians playing the accompaniment on the side of the stage - the guqin, flute, and other instruments.

"There is a beautiful woman, I will never forget you when I see her.

I don’t see you in a day, thinking like crazy.

Feng Fei soars, seeking phoenix from all corners of the world.

Helpless ladies, not in the East Wall.

......"

When the station was reviewing the programs, Xia Tian submitted the folk song!
Well, Han Dynasty folk songs should really be folk songs, right?!

After listening to Xia Tian singing, many old audiences breathed a sigh of relief and felt happy both physically and mentally!
Yes, it is summer, who can always come up with something new for us every year! Good! Good! Good~
Many artists and artists felt as if their inspiration had been ignited. Many directors even wanted to make a costume historical film on the spot and let Xia Tian act in it!

After the songs with a strong ancient flavor, there was a very "modern" program - the modern song and dance "Jump Up", performed by Tao Jin and others.

The reason why there is a word "wait" is because there are quite a few dancers! There are more than a dozen teenagers, wearing fancy makeup - the kind of eye shadow and blush, especially the classic red cheeks!

Coupled with that somewhat magical dance and expression, Xia Tian feels a little crazy!
There were also a dozen men and women in their twenties!

Then the stage turned, and a dozen middle-aged and elderly men and women came out, swaying to the music - the ancestors of square dancing!
Add to that the dry ice smoke on the stage, it was so lively!
After all three teams had passed, Tao Jin jumped out from backstage!

Tao Jin's outfit is very slim and fashionable, and she dances well too.

Xia Tian discovered that this boy had good jumping ability and he jumped very high!
Tao Jin graduated from Yanwu Academy and worked as a teacher at the Dance Department of the PLA Art Academy.

Tao Jin once said: If you like Fei Xiang, you will like me. The young man is quite confident~
In Xia Tian's opinion, he danced well, but the level of his dancers was not so good.

There is no way. There are not many people studying modern dance in China now.

There were a few more programs before it was time for Teresa Tsui from Hong Kong.

She was graceful and elegant, and dressed beautifully. She sang two songs in a row, "The Bright Moon Sends My Longing Across Thousands of Miles" and "Love in the Heart"!
Both songs are very charming. After all, Xu Xiaofeng is also a veteran singer of the queen level, and her level is very high.

Many people must have heard her "Season of Wind".

This song was later made popular by Anita Mui, but in fact Teresa Teng's version is more heroic and full of fighting spirit.

There was also crosstalk by Feng Gong and Niu Qun later, and they finally got together.

Then there was "Love for the Hometown" sung by Chen Rujia, who won first place in the popular group of the Youth Song Competition last year.

Soon it was time for the climax of the last third of the show, the skit “The Lazy Man’s Blind Date”!

Song Dandan entered people's vision for the first time as a sketch actor - wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket, a big green scarf, a pair of pigtails, with a sly look in her eyes, and kept saying "My mother said so"!
Pure mommy's girl~
"My name is Wei Shufen, female, 29 years old, and still unmarried" - Song Dandan is indeed 29 years old now, and according to the lines in the sketch, she is an old maid!

Xia Tian also added lyrics to the skit:
"Come on, don't lose face~"

"He's 1.8 meters tall when he jumps!" - It's a blind date, and the matchmaker and village chief are bragging as much as they can.

There is another sentence that they changed themselves:

"Do you still like reading?"

"Yes, I love reading comic books - especially those drawn in the summer!"

They may all be newcomers this year. Next year, Huang Hong will take the sketch script "Over-Birth Guerrillas" to find Song Dandan for collaboration. She was pregnant at that time!

After that, the two newcomers worked together for many years, and later Song Dandan and Lao Zhao worked together~
This was followed by a medley of three songs by the island's folk singer Pan Anbang - "Follow Your Feeling", "Grandma's Penghu Bay" and "The Sun and the Moon", which also delighted the audience.

"The evening breeze blows gently over Penghu Bay, and white waves chase the beach~"

"Follow your feelings and hold on to your dreams~"

Both songs are classics of the era!
…The chorus of the Galaxy Youth Television Art Troupe sang the summer children’s song “Songs and Smiles”.

It was originally sung by Charlene from the Galaxy Youth TV Art Troupe!

That year, I stamped Summer at Maxim’s, kissed her, ran away, and then disappeared.

Chen Xiaoer and Zhu Shimao's sketch "Pepper Noodles" is also a super classic.

It is more of a pantomime, the whole skit relies on body language and facial expressions, and there are few lines. It is so well acted! The essence~
Then came Sister Peng’s songs, Jiang Kun’s crosstalk, and then Teacher Guo Lanying’s "Singing the Motherland"!
Previously, "Heroic Hymn" was the theme song of the movie "Heroic Sons and Daughters".

This song "My Motherland" is the theme song of the movie "The Battle of Shangganling"!
"A big river with wide waves
The wind blows the scent of rice and flowers on both sides

My family lives on the shore

I'm used to the chant of Gong Gong
Used to seeing the white sails on the boat
......"

As the song began, tears began to well up in everyone's eyes...

Although it was the first time for 61-year-old teacher Guo Lanying to appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage, she shocked all the audience with her loud singing voice.

After this song, the clock struck midnight.

The traditional New Year has arrived.

This year has not been easy. It has not been easy. I hope that the spirit of the past can support everyone to move forward. I hope we can all get through this year smoothly…………
