The open Spring Festival Gala opened a miracle year

Looking forward to spring.

One

On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, 73-year-old Jiang Kun went to the Liuyin community to condole, making dumplings and writing Spring Festival couplets, and the room was full of white-haired old people.

Zhang Mingmin, who is 6 years younger than him, sang on stage in Lianzhou, Guangdong, with a warm south wind, and it was still the song "My Chinese Heart". The older You Benchang is 91 years old, and he was interviewed on the website, and he said in the barrage that he had a century hidden in his eyes.

Chen Peisi, who has been looking forward to not returning for a long time, is also 69 years old, and he has long been lazy to respond to the rumors of the annual Spring Festival Gala. His drama has just been ticketed in Lanzhou, called "Dream".

Their figures have been blurred in time, but looking back, a special intertwining point can be found: the Spring Festival Gala in 1984.

It was the best Spring Festival Gala they had in their hearts, and that year was also a year full of miracles.

The Spring Festival Gala 39 years ago was set up in an old studio of less than 600 square meters on Nanlishi Road. The audience actors sat around the table, as if they were relatives and friends.

There is no obvious boundary between the stage and the stage, Jiang Kun jumped lightly, and the camera followed and he arrived at the center of the stage.

That Spring Festival Gala was still on demand, and you could sing whatever you wanted to listen to, and innovations were emerging. Deputy Director Hong Minsheng said: The common people need all the tastes of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.

For the first time, the song can have a backup dance, and the singer can match his own costumes for the first time, "Back to His Mother's Home" was originally a forbidden song by Teresa Teng, but it can be changed to a Hebei folk song.

The audience wanted to watch table tennis, so they invited the national team to play a four-minute game on stage, and the audience wanted to listen to the storytelling, so they invited Yuan Kuocheng to come on stage and talk about the Three Kingdoms for six minutes.

The audience wanted to watch pantomime, and You Benchang, who had not yet played Jigong that year, only used a towel to mobilize the muscles of his whole body and performed a "Shower" out of thin air.

Ma Ji took the stage to say "Universe Brand Cigarettes", he came to the stage smoking real cigarettes, and he carried a bag, which was borrowed from an electrician in Taiwan.

Chen Peisi, who was 30 years old that year, partnered with Zhu Shimao to perform the first sketch "Eating Noodles" in the history of the Spring Festival Gala.

Previously, they were bored writing scripts in a hotel for several months, and the pressure was too great, so they ran three times and were arrested three times.

"Eating Noodles" was a huge success, and the whole country laughed, Chen Peisi said: It is very important to return happiness to the audience.

Laughter comes with the spring tide. At the Spring Festival Gala, Jiang Kun said, "We received 47 calls, and Shen Xiaocen sang "Please Come to the End of the World" on demand."

Shen Xiaocen chuckled and got up, singing sweetly, full of pride in Hainan.

On the highway from Jinan to Beijing, the watch factory sent a truck to deliver 3,000 quartz clocks, becoming the first advertising sponsor of the Spring Festival Gala, and the Spring Festival Gala also had a zero countdown for the first time that year.

The countdown dial is full of vision: the worker who sticks to his post, the postman who sorts letters, the soldier who guards the frontier, the doctor who takes care of the baby...... The second, minute and hour hands coincide, and the New Year arrives.

"Unforgettable Tonight" sounded for the first time, and it was still called "Goodbye Song" that year. The lyricist Qiao Yu spread out the manuscript paper under the lamp and wrote emotionally "Shenzhou Wanli embraces each other".

The singing slowly dispersed, and the door of the studio slowly closed. Director Huang Yihe climbed down the ladder of the director's stage, and the whole staff hugged him and cried and laughed.

Hong Minsheng set the table on the spot to celebrate the New Year, and he, who rarely drank alcohol, toasted and drank a bottle and a half of Moutai.

Zhao Yan applauded excitedly all night, and later found that the newly bought watch had been damaged. Jiang Kun returned home at half past one in the morning, the neighbors didn't sleep, and every floor opened the door to say that the show was really good, and walked on the 5th floor for half an hour.

On Nanlishi Road, Huang Yihe and everyone walked out of the studio and were stunned by the sight.

The city of Beijing is full of fireworks, and the sky is fiery red.

After the Spring Festival Gala, a small factory on the verge of closure in Muling County, Heilongjiang Province, started to produce real universe brand cigarettes, and finally became a famous enterprise in Heilongjiang, with an output value of 400 million yuan.

The Spring Festival Gala is like a mirror, and the stories off the stage that year are also full of innovation.

In Shenzhen, on the construction site of the Luohu International Trade Building, workers work 12-hour shifts, creating a Shenzhen speed of building a floor in three days.

In Guangzhou, Xilu Road opened the country's first light night market, with a river of light and shadow, and a stall selling 10,000 pairs of pants in a few months.

Bolder changes are happening in Hainan. In 1984, the country opened 14 coastal ports and Hainan Island, and the leaders of Hainan were so excited that they couldn't sleep at night.

That summer, U.S. satellite photos showed the island covered with reflective metal and cars all over the mountain.

In 1984, the first five-star hotel was built in the wheat fields of Beijing's East Third Ring Road, and Wangfujing Bookstore removed the glass counter to sell books.

Shanghai Feilo Audio issued the first stock in New China, and Wuhan Diesel Engine Factory hired the first foreign factory director, all the way from Germany.

Many people start their lives all over again in 1984.

33-year-old Wang Shi took the 400,000 yuan he earned from reselling corn and started selling video recorders in Shenzhen. Liu Chuanzhi, 40, set up a stall at the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, selling electronic watches and roller skates.

In the fall, 56-year-old Chu Shijian was at a table in a small restaurant in Kunming, dipping his chopsticks in rice soup and calculating a loan to buy a full set of foreign equipment. He promised the leaders that he would pay off the loan in 3 years and add 100 million yuan in profits and taxes every year.

In that year, the poet Mangke led the writer Ah Cheng to establish the Oriental Plastic Arts Center and traveled all over the country to design sculptures. They designed a huge phoenix for Qinhuangdao, standing on the shore of the roaring sea.

In that year, Ah Cheng wrote "The King of Chess", Wang Shuo wrote "Stewardess", and Haizi wrote the famous works "Asian Copper" and "Al's Sun".

Cui Jian, a trumpeter of the Beijing Song and Dance Troupe, formed a "plywood band" to play Western pop music in a small restaurant. In his spare time, he listens to songs on a clumsy two-card tape recorder and scribbles exuberant movements on paper.

That year, the Shanghai fashion team went to Europe to perform, the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts recruited models for the first time, and in the streetside bungalow of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the young MCA started dancing aerobics.

In Shanghai, girls are popular to "cut skirts", that is, to wear beautiful skirts to the park Saimei, and Shanghai Film Studio also made a movie for this:

"The beautiful ones beat the unbeautiful to the ground, like a knife, this is called cutting skirts!"

And farther on the Loess Plateau, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are filming "Yellow Earth".

150 drummers in black jackets and white scarves danced and beat as they walked from the hillside, and the smoke and dust flew up, as if to bring the whole world to cheer up.

Many years later, director Huang Yihe recalled the 1984 Spring Festival Gala:

"Looking back now, the Spring Festival Gala itself is a product of reform and opening up, without reform and opening up, there would be no birth of the Spring Festival Gala, and without reform and opening up, we can't do anything. ”

Behind that Spring Festival Gala and that miracle year, there are ideological "breaks".

In January of that year, a 6-meter-long iron sign was erected in front of Shekou Industrial Zone, which read, "Time is money, efficiency is life".

In the same month, Nanfang Daily published a supplement titled Southern Weekly. Before the launch of the journal, Zuo Fang, who was still working in the reference room, quietly went to the Guangzhou Railway Station and saw the flood of migrant workers pouring into Guangzhou.

He said, as if hearing the cracking and crashing of plates:

"A great economic revolution is taking place...... Either way, they won't be the same people anymore. ”

In the autumn, a reporter from Beijing Daily went around Zhongguancun and on the front page of the newspaper compared the one-kilometer-long street on both sides of Baiyi Road to China's Silicon Valley, and wrote:

The ice has broken and the roads have been opened.

In 1984, Toffler's "The Third Wave" became popular, and Wen Yuankai, a teacher at the University of Science and Technology of China, gave speeches and recommended everywhere, becoming the hottest youth idol.

He gave more than 500 lectures in more than 300 cities, and shouted on the stage: Development no longer allows hesitation, and there is not much time to hesitate.

The publishing house compiled the content of the speech into a book, named "China's General Trend", which became the second bestseller of the year, and the first place was the central government's "Decision on the Reform of the Economic System".

In the same year, the Sichuan People's Publishing House launched the first batch of "Towards the Future" series, which was sold out within hours of being on the market, and eventually sold more than 18 million copies.

At that time, at the gate of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, there were often teachers, journalists, factory apprentices and intellectual youths from all over the country, hoping to meet the authors of the book series.

They traveled thousands of miles at their own expense to ask where the future of the nation was and what China should do in the future.

"China Megatrends" and "Towards the Future" became the starting point for a generation of thinking, and more changes began in this year.

The first batch of migrant workers began to enter the city, the first batch of civil servants began to go to the sea, Shenzhen took the lead in the country to cancel all tickets, and China's GDP growth rate reached 15.2% this year, the highest year after the reform and opening up.

On the National Day, a float printed with the words "Time is money, efficiency is life" drove through Tiananmen Square. "China Youth Daily" commented:

1984 was the year that the course of reform was established, the year that the ancient country began to really believe in the market and open up the situation.

Many years later, Lu Jing, the host of the 1984 Spring Festival Gala, recalled that everyone recited "Unforgettable Tonight", and she said that the show was showing her heart.

At that moment, she just thought: It's so good, spring is coming.
