1979 Golden Age

"How to maintain our sales volume? We just change brands frequently, every three days! It turns out that the one we produce is called 'Dung Beetle Brand'. Later we looked in the dictionary and found out that dung beetles are dung beetles?" Damn it, do you think this brand will stop smelling?"

Ma Ji smoked a cigarette and talked while smoking.

The audience laughed, especially Li Guyi, who was very close, clapped his hands and laughed hard.

"..."

Chen Qi scratched his head. Subjective emotions were important. He really didn't think it was that funny.

This is a one-liner created by Ma Ji, which satirizes the false propaganda of illegal manufacturers and deceives consumers. For this reason, he went to the relevant departments to ask if there were "Universe Brand" cigarettes. After confirming that there were not, he felt free to create.

However, after this Spring Festival Gala, Universe brand cigarettes really came out, and they have always been popular.

"If you don't smoke my cosmic cigarettes, you won't have a happy family! If you don't smoke my cosmic cigarettes, you young people won't be able to find a partner! If you don't smoke my cosmic cigarettes, you students won't be able to get into college... …”

"Remember the telegram registration: one push, six, two, five; the telephone number: no matter three, seven, twenty-one!"

"Hahaha!"

"Ha ha!"

In the early 1980s, these phenomena had just emerged, and perhaps the audience resonated with them. For Chen Qi, he has seen too many unscrupulous merchants and too many jokes. Is this still a big deal?

Of course, he respected the contemporary nature and kept the program instead of taking it down.

The on-site effect is very good.

The audience in front of the TV must also be jumping up and down.

"Whoosh!"

Ma Ji left the stage with warm applause and completed his only program in this Spring Festival Gala. He glanced at Chen Qi on the side stage. After all, he was a famous person, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and an executive director of the Chinese Music Association. How could a junior be so confident? .

But another glance saw Zhu Muzhi and Wu Lengxi sitting in the background.

"Don't do it next year. I hope he will do what he says!"

Ma Ji shook his head, changed his clothes, and returned to the auditorium to sit down.

…………

Li Lingyu wore ethnic costumes, combed her hair, big earrings, and bare feet. She danced and sang on the stage. Her big eyes flashed and she smiled like she had white teeth.

Three shows after "Universe Cigarettes", Chen Qi asked Li Lingyu to appear and sang two so-called Taiwanese folk songs "Liu Liu She" and "Girl from Alishan".

"Girls from Alishan are as beautiful as water, and young men from Alishan are as strong as mountains..."

These two songs are not Taiwanese folk songs.

"Girls from Alishan" was composed in mainland China in 1949. Many people mistakenly believe that it is a folk song of the Gaoshan people in Taiwan, but it is not.

Li Lingyu appeared on the Spring Festival Gala last year and sold 800,000 tapes. She is already quite famous. As soon as they came on stage, all the gay men's eyes lit up and they couldn't help but feel happy, as if they had eaten candy.

This is a sweet girl!

What is the current mainstream aesthetic? Liu Xiaoqing's big face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, rosy and healthy. But does everyone really like it? Of course not, just like some people like to be on top, like on bottom, like breasts, like feet, xp should not be explained to outsiders.

Therefore, Li Lingyu is actually a minority in this era.

But her market is huge.

"Both of these songs are great!"

"Hey, have you memorized the lyrics?"

"How can I remember it? I want to hear it again!"

"By the way, let's call!"

"Whoever is on duty in the factory today, let him call and ask Li Lingyu to sing another song!"

The audience's on-demand broadcast was even more enthusiastic than last year because many people had prepared in advance. Mainly residents of the capital, with occasional long-distance calls, flooded CCTV and continued to deliver orders one after another.

Chen Qi read them one by one and shook his head secretly: "Poor people, they really thought they were watching on demand."

If the on-demand service is suitable, I will go with the flow. If it is not suitable, I will pretend not to see it.

"There is no need to give me Li Lingyu's order, she will not come on stage again."

Huang Yihe looked at him from the side and said that he was partial but treated everyone equally, and said that he was not partial but arranged for his own people. He was a very contradictory guy.

Chen Qi took the program list and sketched it with a pen.

After Li Lingyu's three shows, "Lazy Man Dating", and three more shows, Zhang Mingmin sang, with 3-4 shows as an interval, and every other period should arrange a climax.

This was followed by "A Day in the Life of a Heroic Mother", "The Great Wall Will Never Fall Down" and "Mutton Skewers", with Fei Xiang being the finale.

…………

"Please enjoy the sketch "Lazy Man Dating" below!"

"Whoosh!"

When they heard that it was a sketch, the whole audience was very happy. They had experienced the beauty of sketches last year and felt that this form of performance was very flexible, with strong dramatic conflicts and easy to shake up the burden.

And the next second, the laughter suddenly increased.

I saw Song Dandan wearing a small floral jacket, a green scarf, and two pigtails, squirming like a quail on the stage.

"Lazy Man Dating" is exactly what the name suggests.

It tells the story of a lazy man who is dating someone who has a poor family but only has money. A cardboard box is covered with cloth to pretend to be a TV, a bunch of balloons are covered with cloth to pretend to be a sofa, etc., and they are eventually discovered...

The woman only wants to watch TV, but he is worried about covering up. This is a dramatic conflict.

How is that different from later sketches?

The sketches from the 1980s and 1990s, such as when a lazy man is discovered and the woman turns around and walks away, satirize the group of lazy people. This logic is extremely smooth.

The skit of later generations is: The lazy man was found out, but he had a reason! He got sick to save people and lost his ability to work, and then the woman was moved and decided to create a better life with him and make dumplings together!

This is a illogical turn, because the tone must be positive.

And this skit is shown on the TV screen:

Performers: Song Dandan, Lei Kesheng, Bai Zhidi.

Creators: Chen Qi, Liang Zuo.

"My name is Wei Shufen, female, 29 years old, still unmarried!"

"I'm really sorry, my eyesight is not very good, I kicked this thermos bottle to pieces!"

"Hahaha! This skit is so funny!"

"Who is this actor? Song Dandan? She acted well!"

Aunt Dandan is talented, Lei Kesheng and Bai Zhidi are even more talented, the three of them cooperated very well.

Especially when she insisted on watching TV, the two of them had no choice but to let the village chief hold a cardboard box and put his head inside to pretend to report the news: "According to CCTV reports... the score is 2:0..."

The whole audience burst into laughter.

Li Guyi's tears flew out, Jiang Dawei was so happy that he laughed, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao also clapped their thighs, and although Liang Xiaolong didn't quite understand, he understood the meaning and grinned.

The good thing about skits is that they can be performed with rich body movements.

...

"Hahaha!"

In a courtyard next to the red wall, just like last year, the big leader was a loyal audience member of the Spring Festival Gala, with children and grandchildren all around, and it was lively. The atmosphere was also very good, and they laughed heartily.

"I feel that skits are more interesting than crosstalk!"

"Yeah, I feel the same way."

"There is no difference between high and low art forms, it's just that the creation is better."

The senior leader was chatting with his children and grandchildren, and couldn't help thinking that the comrades from the Ministry of Truth came to report excitedly after watching the competition between the Ministry of Culture and CCTV, and even kept it a secret, saying that this year's Spring Festival Gala is very interesting, absolutely wonderful, and the idea is brilliant.

I have watched it for more than an hour, and it is indeed very exciting, but I didn't see the idea.

Maybe it's later.

(No more!)
