At the beginning of the harmonic play, it focuses on a performance word, and a harmonic actor is the basic unit of the harmonic performance. The actors of the drama dress up as one of the characters in the script to perform; they only play one person, never two people at the same time. The so-called "one person (actor) solo, one person (role)", some people call it "one person acting a play". In 1986, Shen Fa took the comedy "Zero Point Seven" to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. On the stage, he performed a comedy in Sichuan dialect, which caused the audience to laugh.

"The first program I chose wasn't '0.7.'" At the end of 1985, Sichuan Television recommended Shen Fa's performance and Ling Zongkui's "Stethoscope". Unfortunately, the show was "shot" at the first trial because the genre was not suitable for the Spring Festival Gala stage. "Before the show, I was going to come back with the cover roll."

Just as Shen Fa was preparing to return to Sichuan, Jiao Naiji found Shen Fa on the side screen of the stage and asked him if he had any other programs. Shen Fa said more, and performed "Before the Performance" (created by Bao Debin) on the spot. "He asked me how the stage effect was, and I said that I had just acted, and the effect was OK. He pointed to the side of the stage and found a small place to say, 'You show me.'" After the show was performed, Jiao Naiji applauded one after another, and he was elated and immediately pulled Shen Fa to the front of Huang Yihe, the general director of the Spring Festival Gala.

"At that time, there was also Teacher Yan Su. I performed it again, Huang Dao is a northerner, although he did not understand all of it, he felt that the content and effect were not bad. Especially when I saw Jiao Naiji, they were laughed at and laughed, and they all felt good, so they decided that this show would be on. "Shen Fa cherished this opportunity very much, and in the more than 40 days from the finalization of the program to the official debut, he rehearsed day and night behind closed doors." Many actors like to go out to visit the scenic scenery of the capital, Tao Changjin (Sichuan opera actor, the actor of Xu Xian in the Spring Festival Gala "Broken Bridge" in 1986) asked me to come out to play, I did not go, every day in the house to practice. ”

Because it is a pure Sichuan dialect, worried that some viewers will not understand, Huang Dao repeatedly asked Shen Fa to slow down the speed of speech and change the too authentic dialect words. "Teacher Yan Su changed the name of "Before the Performance" to "Zero Point Seven."" In addition to being renamed "Zero Point Seven", the show successfully passed the test in subsequent trials and was arranged to perform in prime time. Kung Fu pays off, and the 9-minute "Zero Point Seven" was a great success, breaking the pattern that the CCTV Spring Festival Gala was all Mandarin programs, and the line "Wholeheartedly Serving the RMB" quickly became a buzzword.

After that, Shen Fa not only jointly held a special performance of "Pantomime and Harmonic Drama" with You Benchang in Beijing, but also toured hundreds of "Shen Fa Harmonic Drama Specials" throughout the country, which was popular, making the art of harmonic drama quickly resound throughout the country, creating the peak period of harmonic opera art, and thus determining his status as the second generation leader of harmonic drama.

Two years later (1988), Jiao Naiji went to Chengdu to select CCTV's 1988 Spring Festival Gala program, and Shen Fa's new work "Blue Guilong's Wife" (created by Bao Debin) was favored. In order to make the show more brilliant, the director chose the already famous Sichuan film actor Yue Hong to partner with Shen Fa, and the comedy that was renamed "Receiving Wife" became a dialect sketch.

Shen Fa and Yue Hong cooperated tacitly, living up to expectations, the lines "one, two, two point five", "like a chicken in a mahjong card", "hit me, play a quality and quantity" quickly spread, and also became the first buzzwords from the Spring Festival Gala. "In 1990, I participated in the CCTV New Year's Day party again, performing a dialect poetry recitation "Wang Lao" again. Harmonic drama and dialect poetry recitation are both forms created by our teacher, Mr. Wang Yongsuo, and I have brought them to the CCTV stage. ”
