Fate with the Spring Festival Gala
The Spring Festival Gala held by CCTV in 1983 was the first Spring Festival Gala held by CCTV after the reform and opening up. That summer, Lu Jing had just graduated from the Beijing Broadcasting Institute (now the Communication University of China) and was assigned to work in the broadcasting team of the CCTV News Department. At that time, there were less than ten announcers in the broadcast group, and they were responsible for the entire program of the station. In addition to broadcasting news, announcers also need to be the hosts of various programs such as variety shows, sports, and children's shows. In 1984, CCTV held the second Spring Festival Gala, with a total of seven hosts, mainly composed of celebrities from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the literary and art circles, Zhao Zhongxiang and Lu Jing, who had just graduated, participated in the hosting as representatives of CCTV.
"I really didn't expect to let me host, I was very unexpected and nervous, the pressure was greater than the excitement", Lu Jing described: "In 1983, I was still in school, I didn't pay much attention to the Spring Festival Gala, and I had no concept of the host. In fact, when I first received the task, I was reluctant in my heart, because I had never been exposed to such a large party, and I thought that journalists should do journalism, not literary and artistic work, and there was no idea of becoming famous in front of anyone. But the work was assigned, and I should go and get it done. ”
After careful planning by the director team, the Spring Festival Gala crew gathered at a hotel in Nancheng, Beijing, more than a month before the Spring Festival, to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala, rehearse, discuss scripts and lines, and modify the process... According to Lu Jing, various details have been changed countless times, until the last few minutes before the opening.
"At the beginning, I mainly contacted the teachers in the director group, and Teacher Ma Ji and Teacher Jiang Kun have also been involved, they have rich stage experience and participated in the Spring Festival Gala in 1983, so they are very concerned about me as a novice, taking me as a little sister, and Teacher Zhao Zhongxiang has always encouraged me." Recalling the scene of preparing for the Spring Festival Gala at that time, Lu Jing is still full of gratitude.
Under the care and help of the seniors, Lu Jing's performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage was fresh and simple, and she did not see any tension at all. It is not only possible to lose the identity of a journalist, but also to enliven the atmosphere. Only a piece of Lu Jing and Jiang Kun's co-host when guessing riddles has gone through the complex process of designing riddles, designing riddles, designing body movements and "shaking baggage". The final scene is both fun and suspenseful.
In 1984, China was still in the early stage of reform and opening up, and everything was in the process of innovation and exploration. In addition to the innovation of the program content, the costumes of the host and the actors also became one of the most headaches of the year.
"Chen Sisi and Huang Ayuan, who attended the Spring Festival Gala at that time, came from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the costumes they wore were so beautiful! In contrast, we are really too shabby. ”
Without clothes, everyone will piece together, you borrow from me, I borrow from you. Mao Shanyu and Shen Xiaocen put on Lu Jing's sweater, and Lu Jing borrowed a skirt from someone else. The director team finally decided to give everyone some financial support and open a letter of introduction for them to buy at the Friendship Store. Since 1973, the Friendship Store has been receiving foreign guests and overseas Chinese, where imported goods can be bought, but at that time it was only open to foreigners or overseas Chinese, and ordinary people could not enter. Lu Jing and her party took the introduction letter to the Friendship Store to purchase party clothes. Lu Jing remembered very clearly, she picked out a beige high-necked shirt with ruffles, and a pair of very beautiful high heels, "milky white, lambskin, the front is hollowed out." The shirt costs 16 bucks and the shoes cost 21 bucks. She only wore this pair of leather shoes once at the Spring Festival Gala scene that year, and has been treasured ever since. Later, the school prepared to build a media museum, and Lu Jing donated this pair of leather shoes with special significance to her alma mater.
In the 1980s, the announcers of the news network all put on their own makeup, with rough makeup and poor quality cosmetics. At the Spring Festival Gala that year, CCTV invited makeup artist Xu Jing to do makeup styling for the host and actors. Teacher Xu Jing is ahead of her thinking, has a good aesthetic taste, she fully learns and explores the knowledge and skills of Chinese and foreign makeup, carefully studies the personality and image characteristics of each actor and host, and strives to meet the atmosphere and requirements of the Spring Festival Gala, Lu Jing's Spring Festival Gala styling and makeup are all created by Xu Jing's teacher. Since then, CCTV has had a full-time makeup artist for variety shows, and later, news broadcasters have also had special makeup artists.

On stage and up, communion resonates
"There will be tension and trepidation, but because of the whole participation, I am actually confident." I am very willing and looking forward to presenting the party to the audience in front of the camera, and sincerely hope that everyone will see the changes in our country", referring to the mood when hosting the party, Lu Jing will still be very excited, and her eyes are also a little moist: "Very forgetful, very devoted!" There was no desire to express me personally or anything, and I was fully engaged in the show. ”
Hong Kong singer Cheung Ming-min sang "My Chinese Heart", which she cried over and over again during rehearsals. The combination of family and national conditions, at the beginning is only to complete the work; later, Lu Jing has injected her own feelings into this party: it is the release of her soul over the years, a vision of a better life, and an expectation of a brighter tomorrow for the motherland. When asked how she felt back then, she would still sigh: "It's so good, spring is coming." ”
The last program of the Spring Festival Gala in 1984 was a poetry recitation, and Lu Jing and Zhao Zhongxiang recited "Unforgettable Tonight" together. For them, the show is by no means about showing themselves, but about speaking from the heart. Every word has been carefully polished, such as the first time the accent of "Unforgettable Tonight" is on "Unforgettable", the second time is on "Tonight", then, Zhao Zhongxiang says "Wish Together", Lu Jing says "The Motherland is Good", this upward "good" word, from the heart, sincere.
Some netizens once commented that the Spring Festival Gala in 1984 was a milestone. Lu Jing believes that the success of a party is not because of the self-expression of the host, nor because of the self-intoxication of the creators, but because the stage and the stage can be emotionally communiced, resonance can be synchronized. This party did it, so it is still unforgettable. On the night of the broadcast of the party, every household will hear the song of "Unforgettable Tonight", which is really crowded and very successful.
After the Spring Festival Gala, Lu Jing was also more popular. When you go out to take the bus, the conductor will take the microphone and shout excitedly to the whole car, "Comrades, Comrade Lu Jing is in our car!" Then the crowd crowded in the direction of the conductor, surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. Lu Jing was embarrassed to get out of the car and "escape." After getting off the bus, the conductor took the microphone and said to the outside: "Comrade Lu Jing, I wish you a happy work." The whole car also beckoned to her, this scene made Lu Jing moved to this day, she said with emotion: "The audience at that time was really good to us, so we also have self-respect and self-respect, worthy of the audience's love." ”
These experiences made Lu Jing more aware of the necessity of strict self-discipline. She believes that a good host should first be consistent in appearance, withstand temptation, and be a good person. "Whether it is broadcasting news or engaging in variety show hosting, as long as it is a public figure, it must be strict with yourself, especially in the CCTV broadcasting and hosting work, we represent the national image." The costumes, hairstyles, makeup, etc. presented on the TV screen are all exquisite. A subtle subconscious action will expose a person's true cultivation, so can we be decent, generous, courteous and respectful of people? It depends on your usual cultivation. We represent the image of the country, so we must know how to introspect, self-discipline, and be decent. ”
Secondly, she stressed that as the host of the evening program, you should serve the program and the evening, and you should not be noisy and self-expressive. In the work, we must have the audience in our hearts, be selfless, and know how to think in empathy. The host can have a certain display, but this is definitely not self-display and ostentation on stage. The host, the announcer is like the thread in the pearl necklace, not the pearl, the pearl is the show and the actor, the role of the line is very important, it needs to string the pearl together, but it should not be seen, once it is seen, the necklace is not perfect.

Only sincerity can move people
Ms. Lu said she had never thought of being a teacher in the past, because in her impression, the teacher seemed to be supposed to teach her students majestically and condescendingly, pointing out the shortcomings of her students without mercy. But in the experience of studying abroad later, she found that children abroad are very confident, very willing and good at expression, teachers and students can communicate and discuss very equally, without reprimand and sarcasm, which changed her understanding of education and triggered her thinking about teaching methods. Therefore, after returning to China, she returned to her alma mater to join the front-line teaching team, hoping to pass on her educational philosophy and experience to the children.
Lu Jing treats students, no matter how strong or talented they are, she hopes that all students can be inspired by her and gain something. Equal treatment and teaching according to her aptitude are her teaching principles.
"Everyone is different, and I look at the students' mindset and pay attention to empathy. First of all, to discover the advantages and characteristics of students and pay attention to maintaining them, to help them carry forward, and then to inspire them, so that they have an objective understanding of themselves, to make up for their weaknesses. I often say that teachers are doctors, especially in small classes like ours, and we must prescribe different prescriptions to each student according to their psychological and physiological conditions. ”
Lu Jing further explained, "I don't care whether students will be famous in the future, what I value more is how to treat others, how to face difficulties and frustrations in their lives, whether they can self-reflect and stand strong." If one day they say teacher Lu that your words of that year have benefited me for the rest of my life, this is my greatest satisfaction. Knowledge is variable, everything is developing, but only human ideas and ideas are important factors that guide our actions and determine our success or failure. ”
Lu Jing also talked about her expectations of students. With a smile, she pointed to her chest and said one key word—sincerity.
Sincerity is honesty and truthfulness from the bottom of the heart. When are people beautiful? People are beautiful because they are cute, and this beauty will accompany us throughout our lives. Even if you have a wrinkled face, as long as you are sincere, you are cute, your wrinkles are cute, this is a temperament. The eyes are the windows of the soul, and the insincere people, as can be seen from the look in their eyes, can never impress people's hearts.
Finally, Lu Jing sent a few words to the Xinxin students of Zhongchuan: "I hope that you have concentration, patience, confidence, direction, measure, and bottom line; be a person with feelings, you can feel the beauty of life; be a happy person, sincere, cheerful, sunny; observe more, think more, and work harder in everything." ”
Teacher Lu Jing is a predecessor full of wisdom and sincerity, even wrinkles are cute, with her rich experience and unique perspective, open arms, accompany and guard the successive sessions of Middle School students, watching them fly higher and higher.
