1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 210 Spring Festival Gala Consultant
Almost at the first moment when Deng Zaijun said "evening party", a word jumped out of Lin Weimin's mind reflexively.

"Spring Festival Gala".

For Chinese born after the 80s, the meaning of the term Spring Festival Gala is basically equivalent to celebrating the New Year.

Deng Zaijun now plays a very important role in CCTV. It is already late November, and the two closest major festivals are New Year's Day and Spring Festival.

Lin Weimin had already learned through Mr. Jinshan that this year's CCTV New Year's Eve would make an exception to broadcast the TV series "The Cliff", so naturally it was impossible to hold the party at this time of New Year's Day.

Then there is only one possibility, and that is the Spring Festival Gala.

The word gala was still a relatively unfamiliar word to the Chinese in 1983.

All folk entertainment activities are even more secretive like a shy girl.

Most people’s entertainment life basically stays in the open-air movies that are rarely seen a few times a year, the model dramas on the radio, or the "Love in Lushan Mountain", "Legend of Tianyun Mountain", " Xiyingmen", "Wrangler"...

If you pursue something higher, watch dramas, dramas, etc., but that's it.

The emergence of the Spring Festival Gala can be said to have revolutionized the entertainment life of the Chinese people in the 90s and [-]s to a certain extent, and this change is often in a short moment.

Deng Zaijun sat in the editorial office of "Contemporary" and told Lin Weimin the details of the evening party she was going to organize.

It all started when Huang Yihe, then the director of the singing and dancing group of the CCTV Literature and Art Department, received a call from the director Wang Feng.

In 1978, CCTV, which had just resumed broadcasting, resumed broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala, which included singing and dancing performances, comic storytelling, Peking Opera and other programs, as well as game sessions.

Since the buzz had just ended, it was aired on video.

In 79, CCTV independently organized the "New Year's Spring Festival Gala" in the form of a "tea house", co-directed by Deng Zaijun and Yang Jie, who were directors of the song and dance group of the CCTV Literature and Art Department at that time.

In the opening part of the gala, the old promotional slogans and New Year's greetings were overturned, and ballroom dancing, which was rare at that time, was boldly arranged, which aroused great repercussions.

At the party, Li Guangxi's "Toast Song" became the most popular song of the year, and became popular all over the country for a while.

Since then, there have been different scales and forms of New Year's Gala every year.

In the winter of 82, Huang Yihe became the person in charge of the "Welcome to the Spring Festival". He immediately proposed to Wang Feng the bold idea of ​​live broadcasting.

Live broadcast is a feature exclusive to TV, and the CCTV leadership agreed to this proposal after a brief discussion.

But it is easier said than done. At this time, the Chinese TV industry has no experience in broadcasting large-scale evening shows, and everything needs to be started from scratch.

In order to support Huang Yihe's work, several other heavyweight choreographers and directors in the stage followed suit, including Deng Zaijun who was in charge of the "New Year's Art Evening" before.

Right now, the schedule of the Spring Festival Gala has just taken shape, and it is still the same as the previous ones, mainly including song and dance performances, cross talk storytelling, opera performances, and audience interaction.

"Then why did you come to me this time..." Lin Weimin asked.

Deng Zaijun said: "The big part of this gala is still the same as before, but our editorial team still wants to innovate. We plan to introduce the form of sketches, but the script is a problem. Spring Festival is a day for family reunion. The atmosphere must be relaxed and happy. There are very few comrades around me who are good at this aspect, just before my daughter and I went to watch the play "Untouchable" written by you, and the comedy part of it is very impressive..."

When Deng Zaijun said this, Lin Weimin already understood what she meant, "You want me to help write a script for this year's Spring Festival Gala."

At this time, the name of the "Spring Festival Gala" has not been officially decided, and Lin Weimin named it according to what Deng Zaijun said.

Deng Zaijun said with a smile: "Not only that, I hope you can help take charge of the script coordination and rehearsal of the sketches at the party."

"Mr. Deng, you think too highly of me. I only know a little about scripts, but I really don't know anything about planning and rehearsal." Lin Weimin said modestly.

He had planned to wait a few days before Lao Guo went to see his little girlfriend, but he was delayed a few days ago because of Lao Guo's affairs, if he accepted this errand, he would have been tied to death in Yanjing years ago.

"Mr. Lin, don't say that. I am very clear about your ability in literary creation. Although the sketches are performances, the core is driven by words and languages. It is nothing more than a different form of expression.

And your job happens to be the most core and scarce thing in this kind of program. "

When Deng Zaijun said this, his words were sincere and his expression was sincere, "Mr. Lin, we at CCTV are very determined to bring forth the new in this year's New Year's Gala, and we hope to give the people of the whole country a refreshing experience. Please come and help us. help."

His attitude was very low, and when it came to this point, if Lin Weimin refused again, it would prevent the people of the whole country from having a good year, so he could only agree.

"Then let me try."

Deng Zaijun said happily: "This is great, now the comrades in our director team can rest assured."

Lin Weimin said: "Mr. Deng, you think too highly of me."

"It's not high regard, but attention. At least among the people I know, there is no one who has your attainments in literary creation."

When Deng Zaijun was speaking, the appreciation for Lin Weimin in his eyes was self-evident.

Lin Weimin couldn't help but think of Zhou Meng who wrote to him before. This girl is still insisting on writing letters. Lin Weimin will occasionally reply her a letter. He can only take Deng Zaijun's words as a compliment.

After making an appointment to have a meeting with CCTV next Monday, Deng Zaijun left the Guowen Society.

After she left, colleagues joked, "It's okay to serve the people, and now they all go to CCTV as consultants."

When Deng Zaijun asked Lin Weimin for help, he would definitely give him a title. He is now the chief screenwriter and consultant of CCTV's New Year's Gala sketch program.

There is not even a letter of appointment, just a verbal one.

At this time, there was no such thing as "language programs", otherwise Lin Weimin would be considered the chief director of "language programs" now.

It's exciting to say it!

On Monday morning, Lin Weimin rode a motorcycle to the broadcasting compound on Nanlishi Road, XC District.

At this time in 82, there was no shadow of the "big underpants" that was famous throughout the country. CCTV was still working in the broadcasting compound on Nanlishi Road, XC District, Yanjing, together with the Central People's Broadcasting Station and the China Broadcasting Art Troupe.

In a wooden bungalow on the west side of the broadcasting building, this is the office of the song and dance group director group, and it is also the place where today's meeting is held.

Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, Lin Weimin sat casually at a desk.

The other people in the room were similar to him, sitting very casually.

Huang Yihe looks very capable. He is in his 40s this year. He belongs to CCTV's young school.

The Spring Festival Gala, that is, the preparations for the Spring Festival Gala were carried out in the form of a director team. In addition to Huang Yihe, there were also Deng Zaijun, Yang Jie and others.

When Lin Weimin saw Yang Jie, he couldn't help but think of those years when he was young and frivolous. He was so busy looking at monkeys that he turned a blind eye to so many beauties.

Thinking about it, Lin Weimin's thinking began to diverge again. What is Zhu Lin, the king of the daughter country, doing now after performing "The Cliff"?

"This is Teacher Lin Weimin. Our director team specially invited the screenwriters and consultants who are in charge of coordinating the sketch program."

When Lin Weimin was thinking wildly, Huang Yihe introduced him to everyone present, and Lin Weimin quickly got up and nodded to everyone.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Lin Weimin is famous outside the world now, the members of the preparation team know him, but not many people have seen him.

"Mr. Lin, this is Mr. Ma Ji. You should know him. He is mainly in charge of the cross talk part of the party. You two can communicate more in the future." Huang Yihe introduced a smiling middle-aged man to Lin Weimin.

Cosmos brand cigarettes, of course Lin Weimin knew about them.

Ma Ji is one of the members of the preparatory group for the Spring Festival Gala. He is in his 40s this year. He is already considered a heavyweight in the domestic music and art circles, but what really made his name famous all over the country and became a leading figure in the cross talk world should have participated in a few times in the 80s. The credit of the Spring Festival Gala.

Lin Weimin shook hands with him and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Today's meeting is mainly for the director team to call the main behind-the-scenes personnel of the entire Spring Festival Gala preparation team to let everyone get acquainted, and by the way, arrange the division of labor and tasks for each person.

Lin Weimin is the screenwriter and consultant of the sketch program, and Deng Zaijun has the most contacts.

At the end of the meeting, Huang Yihe showed the programming plan for this Spring Festival Gala.

There are a total of 55 programs, which basically cover the program formats of later generations of Spring Festival Gala. Only a small part of them has confirmed the detailed information of the programs, most of which are drafted, and there is not even a hair.

Lin Weimin's task is to ensure that at least three sketch programs will be on the stage of this evening. Huang Yihe did not give him the specific number, but the request is that it is best to prepare a few more scripts.

Lin Weimin raised his hand when Huang Yihe said this, "Director Huang, I want to say a few words about the script..."

Huang Yihe stood in the middle of the room and said: "Mr. Lin, don't feel pressured. If you really don't have time to create, you can first take it out in the form of an outline and discuss it with our director team to see which one to use and which one not to use."

Lin Weimin had a modest smile on his face, "Thank you Director Huang for your understanding. I just want to say that after Director Deng came to find me a few days ago, I happened to write a few scripts at night when I had nothing to do. How about you Have a look first?"

Huang Yihe: ...

Crowd: ...
