Before 1983, the three major activities of the Chinese New Year were: pasting the Spring Festival, setting off firecrackers, and making dumplings.
After 83 years, there is a new folk custom in the New Year: watching the Spring Festival Gala.
A TV show adapted the lives of more than a billion people, how did the first Spring Festival Gala come about in 1983?
In 1983, television sets have not yet generally entered the family, the vast majority of them exist in the unit, communes, production teams, health centers, supply and marketing cooperatives, ordinary old Bai surnames have the opportunity to see tv, high-level instructions CCTV in the Spring Festival to hold a party to increase the festive atmosphere.
The insurance practice is to record and broadcast, arrange the festival in advance, and broadcast it Chinese New Year's Eve night. But director Huang Yihe has an idea, live broadcast the Spring Festival Gala, live broadcast has an advantage, that is, the sense of vision is strong, the audience can participate in the interaction.
The live broadcast of the 83 Spring Festival Gala was thus fixed. The 83rd Spring Festival Gala created a new profession, the evening host.
The title of host used to be called differently in different units: the tv station was called the announcer, the radio station was called the announcer, and the stage was called the announcer.
Ma Ji, Wang Jingyu, Jiang Kun and Liu Xiaoqing became the first generation of hosts of the Spring Festival Gala in 1983.
The first Spring Festival Gala cross-talk occupied a large part of the time, there are as many as 9 cross-talk works, Hou YaowenShi Fukuan's cross-talk for more than half an hour, which is impossible in the current Spring Festival Gala stage.
Because the time is not well calculated, when the clock rings at zero o'clock, Jiang Kun and Ma Ji are still talking about crosstalk on the stage, the program is rudely stopped, cut into the bell ringing screen, the New Year bell rings, and they are not invited to continue to say the crosstalk, the program is called to stop after the performance, which is the only time in the Spring Festival Gala, although rough but cute.
Another legend of the 83 Spring Festival Gala is Li Guyi's song. At the beginning of the party, "Bai Nian Song", including the opera duet with Teacher Yuan Shihai, Li Gu sang a total of 9 songs, they are "Bai Nian Song", "Spring Song", "Say Hello to the Motherland", "A Bamboo Pole", "Young Friends Come to Meet", "Zhiyin", "Hometown Love", "Liu Sanjie" in the duet, Peking Opera in "NiuGao Beckoning Relatives", this record is impossible to be broken.
As director Huang Yihe predicted, the hotline calls to the scene of the Spring Festival Gala from all over the country have not stopped, and after the zero o'clock chime, more and more phones have clicked Li Guyi's "Love".
The song "Nostalgia" is incompatible with the revolutionary songs of the time because of the use of breath singing, and mainstream public opinion is critical of this song. But more and more on-demand calls, Huang Yihe can not turn a blind eye, the biggest leader sitting on the scene of live broadcast is the minister of radio and television Wu Lengxi, Wu Lengxi thought about it for a while, felt that it is still to meet the audience's New Year's wishes, agreed to Li Guyi singing "Love". Emergency cycling to get the recording accompaniment tape, the program scene Jiang Kun, Liu Xiaoqing dragged out the sound report program, time-consuming, is waiting for the accompaniment belt.
Of course, such a thing is not a thing at all now, the Spring Festival Gala has a year to sing "Follow the Feeling", but also criticized by many people, but the upper level of a sentence: big New Year's Day, everyone is happy.
Happy New Year is the constant theme of the Spring Festival Gala, that year also invited two cast members of the "Shaolin Temple" that could not be more hot. Zheng Xulan sang "Shepherd Song" on the spot, and Wang Jue came to a wonderful drunken fist in mid-air, which was the climax of the 83 Spring Festival Gala.
Suo Baoli and Mou Xuanfu, colleagues of Zheng Xulan Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, sang "Husband and Wife Both Return Home" and "Bamboo Forest Rustling". After the 80s and 90s, it may be indifferent to hear The name of Suo Baoli today, but at that time, Suo Baoli was quite famous in the mainland, with a foreign appearance and a foreign name, and the recognition was particularly high. Sobboli moved to Germany with her husband after becoming famous, and the latest news says that Sobboli died in Germany three years ago at the age of 56.
Things are uncertain, today look at the Spring Festival Gala of 83 years, do you have another sigh?
