1980 My Entertainment Era

Chapter 395 Spring Festival Gala "Congratulations on your prosperity"

The last of Arong’s farewell concert was almost before the Chinese New Year.

A few days later, January 1th will be New Year’s Eve!

I woke up early in the summer and started making phone calls. I talked for more than two hours and it felt like the phone was about to smoke.

There is no way, there are too many people who need to communicate.

There are even friends from Pengcheng and Yangcheng who said they would come to see him after the New Year and take a look at the prospects of the toy and daily necessities business here.

You know what, it’s a good buy!

Things inland are cheaper!

You just need to control the quality and be a little creative, and it will sell very well in Hong Kong.

In just the past few months, four or five similar factories have opened around Pengcheng.

It’s not that no one wanted to make money from this “export” before. Hong Kong people have money and can make money.

But this thing is not easy to do. If Xia Tian hadn’t been here and hadn’t been able to open up many connections through Lou Xiao’e and avoid many pitfalls, it would still not have been possible to do it.

This business is rather complicated, as there are already dozens of types of goods, and they will certainly increase in the future.

However, it is estimated that we will have several million in foreign exchange every year, which can increase orders for many factories and provide workers with jobs, which is already very good.

Xia Tian really didn't get a penny from this, and even had to rely on some favors, but many accounts are not calculated that way...

Parents, Milan, Xiaoxu, Zhang Li, Deng Jie... Aunt Deng, Uncle Wu, Dachun, Glasses, Pants... Several leaders in the station, several second-generations who have good relationships with me, and friends from all over the world...

By the time I finished making the calls, my throat would be burning in the summer.

There’s no way. Since no one is going back this year, I need to call more often.

In fact, Milan has already done most of the "work" for Xia Tian. For example, this year, those friends who have plenty of time gathered in Yanjing for a "gathering and exchange".

Since Xia Tian is not here, "Milan's Sister" will be the host this year.

Share what you have, talk about some inside information, talk about opportunities, help each other solve problems...

Someone even called Xia Tian and said, "Tian'er, if you don't come back, our sister-in-law will take over our business!"

There are also many relationships to maintain at home, and for the New Year, Milan prepared gifts and had them delivered to each of them.

From audio-visual publishing houses to magazine and newspaper editorial departments, from CCTV to Yandian, from those few close directors to the actors and colleagues with whom I had good relationships...

That's very cumbersome. What each person should give and what the standards are... most people can't figure this out.

Milan also said on the phone just now that because Xiaoxu and Zhang Li are both going home for the New Year this year, she is already at Xia Tian's house and will celebrate the New Year with Xia's parents.

There was a lot of pride in his tone!

……

Xia Tian put down the phone and someone handed him a cup of tea.

"Thank you Feifei." Xia Tian took it.

That’s right, Wang Fei is here now, having arrived early in the morning.

As for why?
At first I said I was here to help.

Xia Tian: Is there nothing we can help with?
Then he said he was now homeless.

Xia Tian was shocked, and thought that her father was going to kill her out of the house for the sake of justice!

Wang Fei: "Brother~ I have no relatives now, you are my only relative in Hong Kong!"

Xia Tian was helpless and asked with a smile: "What about your dad?"

Wang Fei said pitifully, "I went home, back to Yanjing."

Wang Fei: I chased the old man back~
Xia Tian didn't ask "Why didn't you go back with me?" It would be impolite to ask again.
Xia Tian had no choice but to nod, while A Ying said simply: "Fei Fei, please stay in the guest room tonight. The beddings there are all new."

Xia Tian: “Ah?” The guest rooms have been arranged!

Ah Ying asked curiously, "If you're not staying in the guest room, are you going to stay in the master bedroom?"

That expression did not show any smile at all, and was extremely serious.

He is indeed an excellent actor! He can really hold it in!
Isn't this a duet between the two of you?

So, summer followed.

……

In the evening, Milan watched the Spring Festival Gala while talking to Xia Tian on the phone, telling him about the programs of this year's Spring Festival Gala.

The chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala is Huang Yihe and the host is Jin Ye.

The evening party is divided into three teams: the singing and dancing team, the drama team and the folk art team. There will be competitions between the teams.

Milan: "Wow, the first show is Hang Tianqi, and there's also Tu Honggang, do you know him?"

"I know." Xia Tian held the microphone on his shoulder while rolling out the dumpling wrappers.

Aying and Wang Fei were eavesdropping and looking at each other from time to time. I wonder what they were plotting?
Could it be that there were assassins lying in ambush, and the cup-smashing was a signal? !

The programs of the Spring Festival Gala later included Wei Wei’s songs, Jiang Kun’s crosstalk and so on.

Soon, new tricks came up.

Milan: "Hey! The host introduced him as a singer from the island named Wen Zhang. Have you heard of him?"

Xia Tian shook his head subconsciously: I probably didn’t even start elementary school when I knew that article!
The article that Milan mentioned about performing on this year's Spring Festival Gala is an island singer of Malaysian Chinese descent.

He is the original singer of "Clouds of Hometown" and "365 Miles".

It’s just that because the song had been sung by Fei Xiang and Bao Nana before on the Spring Festival Gala, he had to choose a different song for his first appearance on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

In addition to him, there are two other Hong Kong and Taiwan artists in this year's Spring Festival Gala, one of whom is old friend Zhang Mingmin.

The other is Ling Feng, a famous host and singer on the island.

This bald guy is a big name in the island's television industry. As a host, his program "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon" is currently on the air on the island and has set a new ratings record. Previously, CCTV had broadcast his "Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon", which officially began to spread the island's music.

I mainly listen to Xiao Deng's music at night.
Oh, by the way, this bald guy and Sister Yun have been friends for many years.

Maybe it’s because it’s too popular and they’re worried about being banned, which might cause a backlash from viewers and damage the interests of the TV platform.

So after this Spring Festival Gala, both singers from the island were safe and sound.

It was precisely because of this incident, and after the promotion of many parties, the previous regulations on the island that artists were not allowed to appear on mainland central TV stations were invisibly abolished.

……

Milan then said, "Feng Gong, the guy you were very optimistic about, is doing crosstalk with Niu Qun this year. It's so funny!"

It’s a pity that their play “Thieves Company” didn’t make it to the Spring Festival Gala, but was instead performed on the Variety Show and New Year’s Eve Gala.

"If someone says you can do it, then you can do it, no matter if you don't. If someone says you can't do it, then you can't do it, no matter if you do ...

Maybe it's too ironic?

When you are successful, no matter how others tease you, it doesn't matter; when you fail, a look can pierce your fragile heart.
Then came the songs of Li Lingyu and Fan Linlin.

Milan: "Hey, is this Li Lingyu from the same group as Auntie? Jade Rabbit Fairy! Has she worked with you before? She even asked me about you before~"

Aying and Wang Fei's ears were perked up, and the dumplings in their hands were about to be filled with stuffing.

Xia Tian quickly denied it, saying that he had only recorded a song with her. We are innocent!
"Oh my, this Benshan is so funny! He pretends to be an old lady so well!"

Milan was talking about Lao Zhao’s first skit on the Spring Festival Gala, "Blind Date".

It should be Jiang Kun who brought him there. He did some good things.

This skit also made a song popular: "I want a home, it doesn't need to be too big"~
However, this wish is still so difficult to achieve thirty years later.

After a while, Milan said again: "It's the dance of the Galaxy Youth TV Art Troupe. By the way, didn't Feifei used to be in this troupe?"

Wang Fei immediately shouted, "Yes, yes, yes, Sister Lan, I sang in this art troupe when I was in Yanjing."

Then Milan chatted with Wang Fei for several sentences...

Xia Tian glanced at her: You are siding with President Mi in front of Aying, you are going to be punished for being a fence-sitter.

However, Aying didn't have any objection. After all, President Mi had already confirmed her status through several previous phone calls.

Aying was also very obedient and called Milanlan "Sister".

Of course, Milan is one year older than her.
The following programs include "What a Big Tree", Song Tuan's "Little Backpack", Hang Tianqi's "Black Hair Flying"...

(It is said that "What a Big Tree" plagiarized One More Mountain to Climb, published in 1971, and "Ozora to Daichi no Nakade" was published in 1977, and Matsuyama Chiharu was also adapted.)
After Wang Jingyu’s pantomime performance, it was time for the summer show—the recorded show.

Milan cleared his throat and spoke like Zhao Zhongxiang on TV:
"Dear audience friends, although our old friend is away on business, he still did not forget to wish the audience friends all over the country a happy new year. Moreover, he also invited other singer friends from Hong Kong to sing for us and wish us a happy new year."

"Please enjoy, Xia Tian, ​​Zhang Guorong, Anita Mui, Sally Yeh, George Lam, and Wang Fei singing, "Congratulations"!"

Wang Fei was dancing with excitement and even pulled Aying: "Sister Ying, my show! I'm going to be on the Spring Festival Gala~"

“I know, I know.” Aying picked out a few ugly dumplings made by Wang Fei.

These must not be put into the pot, otherwise they will be exposed.

The song "Congratulations" sung by a few of them in the summer was broadcast on television in thousands of households in the inland areas.

Several people were dressed festively and had cheerful expressions. Basically, each person sang a few lines and recorded the song.

First, Xia Tian sang in Mandarin, and A Rong and the others sang in Cantonese. Then, in the chorus, Xia Tian sang in Cantonese, and A Rong and the others sang in Mandarin.

Highlighting the relationship between the two places~
Moreover, at the end of the song, several people also greeted their compatriots across the country and wished everyone a happy New Year.

The lens is for everyone:
"I am Yanjing Xia Tian..."

"I am Rongsheng Zhang from Hong Kong..."

"I am Anita Mui from Hong Kong..."

"I am Sally Yeh from Hong Kong..."

"I am George Lam from Hong Kong..."

"I am Wang Fei of Yanjing..."

Everyone gathered together and bowed to wish everyone a happy new year: "Here, I wish you all a happy new year and all the best!"

Many people who love Hong Kong songs and movies (mainly pirated videotapes) were very happy!
Of course, some people are also wondering - who is Wang Fei? !

After that, there is a Mandarin version of "Gong Xi Fa Cai" sung solo by Xia Tian!
Xia Tian: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, ahhh~”

I guess from now on, during every Chinese New Year, we’ll be able to hear the sounds of summer in all the shopping malls and supermarkets!
After the bald man Ling Feng on the island finished singing, it was time for Chen Xiaoer and Zhu Shimao's skit.

This year is a particularly classic show - it's a classic every year!
"The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor"!
"Captain - don't shoot! It's me!"

"Oh! You can control me, but you can also control who the audience likes to watch!"

"This nose, these eyes, this head, only appears once every few thousand years!"

"After all this fuss, you took all the benefits that Taijun gave me as kickbacks!"

Then there is Li Guyi’s “Qianmen Love Tea”... and finally “Unforgettable Tonight”!
The show was over, and Milan said goodbye: "I won't talk to you anymore, I have to go eat dumplings."

Xia Tian: "Well, bye, let's cook dumplings too."

"When will you come back?"

"Early April, two more months at most!"

"Good~"

Xia Tian put down the phone and saw A Ying and Wang Fei were looking at him: "Why are you looking at me? Cooking dumplings~"

……

From then on, a simple party turned into a cultural symbol and began to move towards a political symbol.
