1979 Golden Age

The last scene of the Spring Festival Gala was some of the guest performers coming on stage, standing behind Li Guyi, clapping along with "Unforgettable Tonight".

On the TV screen, the list of all the cast and crew rolled out.

Chen Qi was no longer on the side stage, but ran to the audience to watch. The stage was crowded with people. CCTV was already building a new building - the color TV center, which was completed in 1986, and the studio would be bigger by then.

The color TV center was used until the new century, and then the big pants were built, and the studio was even more magnificent... But it had nothing to do with him, he was not General Manager Lu.

"The mountains are green, and people are not old. Let's wish together for the motherland!"

The actors were happy from the bottom of their hearts, and the audience applauded from the bottom of their hearts. No one left early. Finally, in the lingering aftertaste of "Unforgettable Tonight", it was already 12:20.

"Good!"

The director shouted and cut off the screen: "The party is over!"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"Wow!"

There was another round of applause, and everyone dispersed.

Most of the performing guests went to Chen Qi first. Zhao Lirong came over first and shook his hand excitedly: "I really don't know what to say. Thank you for letting me come. I'm thinking about retiring at this age."

She is 56 years old this year. It is indeed time for her to make use of her remaining energy in the troupe. She entered the film and television industry in 1986 and performed a skit for the first time in 1988. Unexpectedly, it was more brilliant than singing Pingju.

"You have a long artistic life. Why do you want to retire? I will send a car to take you all away. Take a rest first."

"Hey, good! If you have something to say in the future, please speak up, don't be vague!"

Zhao Lirong is not stupid. She knows what the Spring Festival Gala means.

She left, and Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao took over, and then Song Dandan, Hou Yaowen, Niu Qun and others, all wanted to thank Chen Qi. Finally, Li Guyi came unexpectedly.

"Teacher Chen, thanks to you, we have such a wonderful evening party!"

"I don't deserve it, it's all thanks to everyone!"

The atmosphere this year is better than last year. The actors are more inspired by it and they are very enthusiastic in their performance. When Li Guyi sang "Unforgettable Tonight", everyone clapped behind her and their hair stood up.

She whispered, "Teacher Chen, are you really not going to do it next year?"

"Well, I don't have time!"

"Oh, that's a pity."

Li Guyi shook hands with him and left with some regret.

Afterwards, the leaders came to greet him, and Wu Lengxi's attitude was still enthusiastic: "Xiao Chen, you should make the first contribution tonight! You should also rest afterwards... Oh, let's have a good chat when we have time."

After they left, only some staff members were left on the scene.

Everyone thought that Chen Qi would say a few words to end the show, but he just patted Huang Yihe, said nothing, took Gong Xue, and took his parents out of the studio without any reluctance.

"..."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Some people were really moved. They were unconsciously conquered by Chen Qi's "personal charm" and thought how nice it would be to follow him!

That's right. Chen Qi's wild imagination and reckless behavior are very much in line with the appetite of some young people. This job is more exciting every day, better than working at CCTV. Of course, they are just thinking about it.

It was Lao Huang who stood up and said a few polite words.

The studio, which was bustling just now, became empty in the blink of an eye.

…………

"Bang!"

"Chichichi!"

At midnight, the sound of firecrackers was still ringing. People in the slum watched the evening party for more than four hours and were also tired and excited.

The old man's prostate has been trained. He can hold his urine for two hours in the future.

The children were all sleepy. They made a final noise with a chirping sound, and then they were silent for a second as if the battery was out of power. The adults could still chat for a while. Those who were particularly energetic could turn the table over and eat more, and put the children's new clothes at the bedside.

In this day and age, only during the Chinese New Year can we eat something good and wear something new.

When the living standard was low, the Spring Festival was a combination of many elements such as reunion, New Year's goods, bonuses, firecrackers, meat, tailoring, and rest, so we miss it so much.

Two vans, send the actors first.

Chen Qi's family waited until more than 1 o'clock before crossing the dark streets of Beijing and returning to Lechunfang.

The lights were on, and there were still a few people left in the front yard. Chen Qi took a stack of red envelopes, which contained ten big unity, and gave them one by one, saying: "Everyone has worked hard! The task is completed, everyone rest early!"

"Teacher Chen, when will the MV be filmed?" Li Lingyu asked.

"It will be filmed in a few days, okay, okay, rest first!"

They returned to the backyard, and their parents went to sleep.

Gong Xue boiled some water, and the two of them wiped themselves, soaked their feet, and lay down on the bed, saying at the same time: "I'm so tired!"

"Fortunately you won't do it next year. Even if you do, don't ask me to be the host. It's really not a job for humans."

"If Liu Xiaoqing hears you saying this, she will strangle you to death!"

Chen Qi hugged her and said with a smile: "The Spring Festival Gala is really not a job for humans. This has become a routine and has to be done every year. Those staff and actors are probably not at home every year!"

He was exhausted after doing it for two sessions, and he admired those nail households.

Like Li Guyi, she participated in the 22nd Spring Festival Gala, and Feng Gong is even more amazing, participating in the 33rd. In other words, Feng Gong couldn't spend New Year's Eve and have a reunion dinner at home for 33 years, which is really not something that ordinary people can do.

"Next year will be fine. Next year's New Year's Eve we won't do any work and celebrate the New Year happily..."

Gong Xue nuzzled his face and smiled, "I'll make you eight-treasure rice, fried spring rolls, dumplings... I said it in front of the whole nation, I have to keep my word."

"Oh, will we be a couple or three next year?"

"It depends on how hard you work!"

They were talking sweet nothings to each other.

That night, the wind was blowing hard... Nothing happened, they were so tired that they fell asleep while talking.

…………

In the 1980s, there were three days off for the Spring Festival.

What if it happened to be Sunday? Well, there would be no adjustment. For example, if the second day of the Chinese New Year happened to be Sunday, Sunday should have been a holiday, and it should not be counted as the Spring Festival, so one more day off would be given to the people, giving them four days off! And the next Sunday would be a normal day off.

But unfortunately, it didn't happen this year.

Chen Qi took a good rest for a few days and accompanied Fei Xiang to meet the leaders.

Hou Dejian was originally the most favored, but Fei Xiang surpassed him. If he was willing to settle in the mainland, he would have to receive a ministerial salary. However, Fei Xiang made it clear that he would not settle there, but would shift the focus of his career there. This was nothing. He would definitely be banned in Taiwan, so what else could he say?

After the Spring Festival Gala ended last year, Chen Qi flew directly to Berlin.

This year, he also saw the impact of the Spring Festival Gala on ordinary people for the first time in China. On the first day of work, major newspapers across the country published articles, which gave the impression that everything was blooming and full of vitality.

"The masses need such a gala!"

"From a Taiwanese singer to a returning wanderer - an exclusive reveal of Fei Xiang's growth story!"

"It is appealing to both the elite and the masses, with wonderful content, keeping up with the pace of policies, and singing the melody of the times!"

"The Spring Festival Gala, which has been held for two years, has officially established its status. It can be foreseen that it will become an indispensable dish on the New Year's Eve dinner table, it will become a stage that actors collectively yearn for, and it is currently the most influential and popular TV program."

"Boldly estimated, at least 300 million viewers watched the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve!"

"This newspaper conducted a simple survey. The Spring Festival Gala is subtly influencing the entertainment life and social trends of the masses, and has become a cultural hotspot."

Of course, there are also criticisms, such as "Mutton Kebab", whether it has the problem of discouraging the enthusiasm of individual businesses?

And "A Day of a Heroic Mother", does it mean that the TV program is cheating?

But this voice was quickly drowned out by the praise of the masses. People need entertainment too much. It is rare to have a gala that can be broadcast openly and is so good-looking. It is too late for everyone to support it.

Among the masses, the Spring Festival Gala is even more popular.
