Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

At that time, Li Guyi was the singer of the Central Orchestra. On the first day of the Chinese New Year in 85, the Central Orchestra held a show in Shenzhen, which mainly sold tickets for Hong Kong and Macau, and all the tickets were sold out at that time.

At that time, Shenzhen was just a window to the outside world. There was no highway or airport, and some procedures such as political review and security inspection had to be gone through when arriving in Shenzhen. According to the actual situation, if Li Guyi participated in the Spring Festival Gala, he would definitely not be able to catch up with the performance in Shenzhen. Therefore, the Central Orchestra disagreed. She went to the Spring Festival Gala, which actually didn't matter to the actors at the time, and she didn't make a lot of money going to the Spring Festival Gala.

A member of the Spring Festival Gala team at that time, Yang Yong, chief of the Cultural Section of the First Division of the Central Security Division, made phone calls for several days, and finally worked out a plan through the Ministry of Public Security. Went to the airport, then got off at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, where the comrades from the Public Security Bureau picked up the plane, and delivered it directly to the performance site without inspection and trial. This made Li Guyi board the most important performance stage in her life.

And the viewer hotlines that were finally squeezed out of these four films have fulfilled Li Guyi's life. You must know that her "Hometown Love" was being banned at the time, and she herself was being criticized by newspapers and senior officials of the Ministry of Culture.

At that time, people kept calling to order "Hometown Love". The director had no choice but to give it to Wu Lengxi, the director of radio and television who was actually monitoring the scene. Wu Lengxi refused many times, but the one who ordered this song was too too much.

He walked back and forth in the corridor for a long time before he gritted his teeth and waved Jiang Kun to announce the scene. "Homeland Love" was lifted on the spot, and Li Guyi escaped the catastrophe.

You know, in 83, who had a telephone at home?

Speaking of that, at that time, there had never been a TV program that completely broke away from political seriousness and was purely for laughter. Let alone this, even if the host said one more word on stage, it would be considered an accident.

Because Liu Xiaoqing didn't go home for many years, he wanted to pay New Year's greetings to his parents in his hometown during the hosting process. Just such a thing, what is it in future generations?

But at that time, it was Wu Lengxi, the Minister of Radio, Film and Television, who asked for instructions, and then decided on a 29-character line before finally saying this sentence.

In the 83 Spring Festival Gala, the biggest expense was buying 1000 notebooks as souvenirs, which cost 500 yuan, which was specially approved by the director.

A group of people prepared their own costumes, made up, combed their hair, thought of words, finished the show with apprehension, and waited for the judgment.

After the results were broadcast, the response was unexpectedly good.

At that time, audiences, viewers, and readers had more right to speak than they do now.

At that time, communication depended entirely on letter writing, and the unit had a staff dedicated to handling incoming letters, sorting out opinions and suggestions and handing them over to the relevant person in charge.

Then write a reply letter according to the situation, and feed back the process and results of the handling of the matter to the letter recipient, even if the other party is just a farmer in a remote mountain village.

After the show was broadcast during the Spring Festival in 83, it received a large number of letters from all over the country, and the whole country applauded, and it was a success.

Since then, the format of the program has been used until today.

Chapter 327 What year did the Spring Festival Gala start (2)

The 83 Spring Festival Gala has always been considered as the first Spring Festival Gala of CCTV, but it was not. The first Spring Festival Gala should have been in 79.

In fact, in 78, when CCTV rebroadcasted, the recording and broadcasting of the Spring Festival Gala began. However, because there were too few TVs in the country at that time, and the programs were serious and rigid, it had no effect. Unlike the 83 Spring Festival Gala, the number of TV sets in the country was already It is more than ten times that of 78.

79年全国电视机490多万台，82年达到2700万台，而到83年就达到了近5000万台。

To be honest, although the reform and opening up took a lot of detours in the early stage, it really made people's lives easier.

Speaking of the New Year’s Gala in 78, the chairman’s quotations appeared on TV. Our greatness and strength, the enemy’s ugly face, the opening narrations are all serious and solemn, and the accompanying music is fierce and passionate.

And at the scene, the opening program was to preach the greatness of the proletarian revolution. Anyway, the whole party was cool, solemn, with strong national emotions, but you couldn’t laugh, and even the cross talk was sensual, just like the streets of North Korea now. What kind of advertisement.

In 79, CCTV felt that some changes should be made. Director Deng Xiaojun boldly recorded the party in the form of a tea party, and added ballroom dancing.

And to what extent did the Spring Festival Gala in 83 have such an impact?Liu Xiaoqing bought two pieces of clothes from Hong Kong for 5 Hong Kong dollars each. Immediately after the Spring Festival Gala, they were imitated. Together with her hairstyle on the spot, they became popular all over the country, and they were called "Xiaoqing shirt" and "Xiaoqing head".

Another great significance of the 83 Spring Festival Gala is that it pioneered live interactive evening shows, and boldly discarded the political content, with the theme of joy, laughter, and lightheartedness, and directly integrated into the content that had just come out of the harsh political movement at that time. It is no exaggeration to say that it changed the atmosphere of the entire society at that time.

In other words, in 83, the director of CCTV was Wang Feng, a man from Yingkou, Liaodong, and he was a funny old man. He said that the reason why he boldly agreed to the live broadcast request of Huang Yihe and Deng Xiaojun in 83 was because he had no money at that time. Thousands of dollars, can save one is one.

At that time, the Spring Festival Gala was not like the chief director system later on. At that time, there were two directors, and the two were growing up together, discussing things, taking pictures of the table and arguing was commonplace, but the result was that the show was really good.

Even if the Spring Festival Gala from 83, 84, 86 to 90 is released now, it looks better than the past five years.

Why is there no 85 years here?Because the Spring Festival Gala in 85 was a big pit.

At that time, China had already begun to try to integrate with Europe and the United States, and a lot of information from outside came in. At that time, large-scale evening parties in Europe and the United States were held in large venues, and tens of thousands of people rejoiced.

And because of the two consecutive years of success in 83 and 84, the Spring Festival Gala had its own mature team. In 85, director Huang Da's heart became bigger, and he wanted to hold a century gala, surpassing his European and American counterparts.

Therefore, the location of the 85 Spring Festival Gala was set at the Workers' Stadium in Beijing.

Then there was a tragedy. The team of the Spring Festival Gala, who had people and big hearts, could not keep up with the equipment and technology, and did not even have a walkie-talkie, began to struggle. At that time, they were all mechanical props, just a light, hanging on the top tens of meters above the ground. , If you want to change the lighting, you have to go up manually, you don't even have a walkie-talkie, how can you communicate in real time?

The result was procrastination, and the performance was not finished after six hours.

What's even worse is that it was New Year's Eve, live broadcast, and there was no heating in the venue, and it was minus [-] degrees in the middle of the night.

All the people on the set were shaking with their military coats on their hands. Many actors were freezing and crying. The cameraman couldn’t hold his camera steady. If you are interested, you can watch the video on the Internet. The camera started to shake after half an hour. Mr. Ma Sanli It's so cold, it's pitiful.

Zhang Xingming licked his lips, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "Well, let me ask you to answer, let's hurry up, you are busy too, okay?"

Dao Huang hadn’t calmed down yet, so he let out a muffled hum. Since 84, he had been thinking about inviting the leaders of the central government to the party. The party almost crashed the plane.

Zhang Xingming said: "I won't talk about the program of the show. I believe you know it well. I just ask three questions. First, the venue? Where is the venue? Second, the safety measures of the venue. Third, the heating situation of the venue. Director, please tell me."

Huang Yihe took a deep breath and said: "The party is scheduled to be held in the Capital Workers' Stadium. We can strengthen the security. This is definitely not a problem. Let's talk about heating. To be honest, I don't know for the time being. I haven't paid much attention to it. , Indoor venues, there are so many people, it must not be too cold, the total program is more than four hours."

Zhang Xingming thought in his heart that the cold is not going anywhere?More than four hours?As the only party where CCTV solemnly apologized to the TV audience, you don't know how bad you are this time, people, it's not good to have too much heart.

Said: "Has the venue been set up now?"

At that time, there was no such word as decoration, it was called layout.

Director Huang said: "Not yet, it's early, February 2nd, 2th, the plan is to decorate the venue at the end of December."

Zhang Xingming said: "How to solve the heating problem?"

Director Huang sniffed his nose twice and said, "Why don't I apply to the higher authorities? To be honest, the funds are a bit tight. The venue layout, performance fees, venue fees, the total budget is not enough. In fact, it is also because of this. I didn’t pay much attention to heating.”

Zhang Xingming said: "What is the main source of funds?"

Director Huang said: "The ministry allocated some, the bureau and the station each allocated some, and Shougang gave some. They are short of money. Now alms is not like before. When I heard it was CCTV, I gave as much as I wanted to support the construction of brother units. Well. It’s no longer possible. There are too many departments for almsgiving, such as streets, police stations, small regional outpatient clinics, monitoring stations and checkpoints, radio and television stations, some departments under civil affairs, and some departments under the Youth League Committee. , or there is none at all, alas, when I mention this, my calf hurts."

Chapter 328 Spring Festival Evening Heating Expenses (3)

Zhang Xingming pursed his lips and bit his cheek, not to mention this time, the matter of begging for money has not been seen until he comes back. It is not easy at the grassroots level. No money. From the late 90s to the early 00s, the city bureau had to borrow money to go out to handle cases. Many old policemen had tens of thousands of expenses in their hands and could not report them.

Zhang Xingming thought for a while and said, "Director Huang, are you going back to Fengtian soon?"

Director Huang hummed for a while, and said: "I can go back, you know, I am from Fengtian, and I will definitely stay here when I do this job during the New Year. I can only go back before the year, and I may not be able to spare it after the year. Time to come."

Zhang Xingming said: "In this way, if you can return to Fengtian in the near future, then we will come here today, and we will meet when you come back. If you come back late, I am afraid that it will be too late in time, then you will send your Arrange things over there, let's clarify things today."

Huang Yihe said: "I'll come back, I'll arrange things, and I'll come back after talking to the stage. It's just a few days, is that okay?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Well, why don't you go back to Fengtian before, let's meet up, okay? When you arrive in Fengtian and finish your business, call me. I call 126 and call 6 nines, or you can call 9. Six 024s, ah, no, six 6s, six 9s, I am not usually in the office, you call 6, six 8s, and tell him you can just call me. Oh right, before this matter is finalized, you can Don't talk to the second person again."

Director Huang repeatedly said on the phone: "I know, I know this."

Zhang Xingming said: "Then Director Huang, go and do your work. See you later."
