1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 227 The 1983 Spring Festival Gala
This year's New Year's Eve is a bit special for Lin Weimin, not because of the appearance of the Spring Festival Gala, but because of the arrival of brother-in-law Han Dingbang from Shanghai.

After many years, the popularity of the family has flourished.

Lin Weimin didn't ride a motorcycle when he came out of the broadcasting compound in the afternoon. He agreed with Han Zhuangzhuang that in the evening Han Zhuangzhuang would go home on a motorcycle after his performance, so that he could go faster.

When Lin Weimin returned to Shichahai Courtyard, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

This year, Lin Weimin specifically told Mr. Wan that his brother-in-law and nephew would stay in Yanjing for the New Year, so he would not bother the old couple at home.

The sporadic sound of firecrackers came from outside the courtyard, and the laughter of children came from time to time.

It's seven o'clock, one hour before the Spring Festival Gala starts, and Han Zhuangzhuang's sketch is the fourth program of the show, and it's time to get home in the early nine o'clock.

Lin Weimin and Han Dingbang entered the kitchen and started preparing for this year's New Year's Eve dinner.

Han Dingbang has inherited the fine traditions of men in Shanghai, he is very good at cooking, and because he has lived with Lin Weimin's sister for many years, he is familiar with the habits of Northeast people, so he can take care of Lin Weimin's taste in food.

The two of them had been busy for a long time, all the dishes were ready, and the only thing left was the cooking. At this time, the Spring Festival Gala also started, and the two of them watched the Spring Festival Gala while making dumplings.

Toshiba's 16-inch color TV picture quality is impressive, but it is already very friendly to audiences of this era.

At eight o'clock, the party started on time.

The opening of this year's gala is very different from the previous Spring Festival gala. It started with cartoons.

This 1-minute and 29-second animation is one of the creations of the director team. The animation starts with a scene of children setting off firecrackers. When the firecrackers are lit, the debris falls and turns into plum blossoms, and then it transitions to a tree of plum blossoms blooming, a cluster of colorful A picture of bright lights.

At this time, the screen switches, through the "handover" process of a beating puppy and pig, which embodies the meaning of "sending away the year of the dog and ushering in the year of the pig". The image of the pig is finally condensed into an unfolded red On the paper, the Chinese character "Fu" on a red background is formed, which people paste during the Chinese New Year.

Finally, the portraits of the four hosts of the party were anthropomorphized to form a New Year greeting scene, and then turned into lanterns in the shape of "steamed buns, peaches, corn, and piglets" and marked with "new", "spring" and "fast" respectively The word "Le" means a good harvest.

Han Dingbang looked at the opening of the animation on the screen, and it was rare for him to take the initiative to say: "This opening, I put my heart into it!"

His old profession is a director, and he couldn't help but comment on his profession.

Lin Weimin chuckled and said, "Yes, it took a lot of hard work. Ma Jinghua, the director of the art department that Yang Yong was looking for, specially organized a few comrades to draw by hand for a whole month, frame by frame. Drawing paper fills a room."

Lin Weimin participated in this year's Spring Festival Gala and knows the story behind the scenes like the back of his hand.

While the two were chatting, the 1983 Spring Festival Gala officially kicked off.

The first person to appear on the stage was Zhao Zhongxiang, a well-known CCTV announcer who delivered the opening speech in his usual magnetic and restrained voice.

After the opening speech, the next four hosts will appear on the stage. After introducing the guests, it will be the host's New Year greetings.

The concept of host has just been introduced, and their speeches are not as colorful as later generations.The hosts spoke plainly with a bit of festiveness, and even a few auspicious words for New Year greetings.

For example, Liu Xiaoqing, the hottest actress in China today, with a red dress on her upper body and a long black skirt on her lower body, is dignified and generous. She took a step in front of the camera from the host, and said New Year greetings with a smile on her face, "I represent the actor industry. Happy New Year to viewers and friends from all over the country!"

Next, the program of the Spring Festival Gala officially started.

First, Li Guyi came on stage and sang a New Year's greeting song, and then Ma Ji and his apprentice Zhao Yan had two cross talks, which should have been three cross talks, but one was cut off.

After being bombarded by short videos from later generations, Lin Weimin didn't have much feeling for cross talk. On the contrary, Han Dingbang had a relaxed and happy smile on his face.

When Ma Ji's second cross talk "Little Lei Feng" was about to finish, Lin Weimin reminded: "Brother-in-law, Zhuang Zhuang will be on stage soon!"

Han Dingbang's eyes lit up immediately, and he stared at the screen intently.

After Ma Ji's cross talk ended, Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Kun introduced the show.

Song Dandan, carrying a director's bag, took the stage first, followed by Yang Bailao played by Liang Guanhua. When Huang Shiren played by Han Zhuangzhuang finally took the stage, Han Dingbang started laughing.

Lin Weimin is rolling out dumpling skins, is that so funny?

Lin Weimin can only attribute this to hope that his son will become a dragon.

The 10-minute program ended quickly, and Han Dingbang muttered: "That's great! That's great!"

Lin Weimin must have thought of his deceased sister again, and hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, let's hurry up, the Zhuang Zhuang show is over, we should be back later."

Only then did Han Dingbang come back to his senses and speed up the movements in his hands.

At around 09:30, there was the sound of a motorcycle outside the courtyard. After a while, Han Zhuangzhuang entered the house wrapped in a mink coat.

"It's freezing me to death!"

With cold words in his mouth, the boy's face was full of embarrassment.

"Dad! Uncle! Did you watch my show? How are you doing? Are you doing well?"

Before Han Dingbang could speak, Lin Weimin scolded: "What a fart! Your kid's lines are all wrong, don't you know?"

Hearing this sentence, Han Zhuangzhuang's expression was horrified, "Impossible, which line is wrong? The director is watching from the audience, why didn't they tell me?"

"Didn't the director tell you? Maybe I misheard." Lin Weimin wrote lightly.

"Old uncle!" Han Zhuangzhuang shouted in dissatisfaction, but he didn't understand that Lin Weimin was entertaining him.

"Don't be too big or small, take off your clothes and cook." Han Dingbang said.

The three of them were busy for more than 20 minutes, and finally finished the New Year's Eve dinner before ten o'clock.

Today I deliberately moved the dining table to the living room in the middle of the main room, less than three meters away from the TV.

The table was full of delicious food and wine, and Han Dingbang raised his glass with mixed feelings.

After holding back for a long time, he said: "Zhuang Zhuang has grown up! He is also promising for the people!"

Lin Weimin held up his wine glass, "The days to come will definitely get better and better. Zhuang Zhuang will get married in two years, and I will give you a big fat grandson. From now on, you will be able to have grandchildren and enjoy family happiness."

With a hopeful smile on Han Dingbang's face, he said, "You have to hold on tight, you'll be 23 after the new year."

"I'm still early, don't worry. Come on, let's have a drink!"

Several people toasted and drank.

After putting down his wine glass, Han Zhuangzhuang suddenly leaned over to Han Dingbang and muttered, and Han Dingbang looked at Lin Weimin suspiciously.

"What are you talking behind my back, kid?"

Han Dingbang said at this time: "Weimin, have you talked about friends?"

Lin Weimin looked at Han Zhuangzhuang with a surprised expression.

"This kid told you?"

Han Dingbang nodded.

Lin Weimin asked Han Zhuangzhuang, "How do you know?"

Han Zhuangzhuang looked smug, "Old man, if you want to be unknown, unless you do nothing, the two of you are in the backstage all day long..."

Lin Weimin secretly sighed that there really is no impenetrable wall in this world, but he thought he and Tao Huimin were quite hidden.

"It's all spread?" Lin Weimin didn't care whether others knew about it, but Tao Huimin's request was not made public.

Although Tao Huimin is younger now, she is already an actress of the Yue Opera Troupe. In these days, if she earns her salary, she is an adult.

"No, I only saw it when I followed you secretly that day."

"You boy..." Lin Weimin glared at Han Zhuangzhuang, and dared to follow your uncle, what do you want?
Han Zhuangzhuang shrank his head, "I wanted to talk to you about the script..."

"Stop arguing with me, you kid can work hard on the script?"

Knowing that a nephew is better than an old uncle, Han Zhuangzhuang stopped talking.

Han Dingbang interrupted the conversation between the two, "Weimin, it's a good thing to talk about friends. When will you bring the girl home to have a look? Just in time while I'm still in Yanjing."

Lin Weimin has a headache, why is this brother-in-law also urging the marriage?
"Brother-in-law, Huimin is still young, we are not in a hurry."

"It's not that I want you to get married right away, why don't you take it to your home to have a look! How small is Xiao Neng?"

At this moment, Han Zhuangzhuang leaned into his father's ear and muttered something, and Han Dingbang's expression became serious.

"That's really small!"

After finishing speaking, he glared at Lin Weimin again, "Be nice to others, don't make any fuss, or else it's a matter of style and morality."

"I……"

Why did it involve issues of style and morality, and I just fell in love.

But who made Han Dingbang the oldest in this family? Lin Weimin nodded in agreement.

After gossiping for a while and having dinner, Han Zhuangzhuang pointed to the TV screen and said, "Look quickly! My uncle Chen is out!"

Lin Weimin and Han Dingbang turned their heads and saw Chen Xiaoer wearing a fleece hat on the TV screen, surrounded by Zhu Shimao in a suit, calling for the director.

Chen Xiaoer is here!

Several people were paying attention to the performance of Chen Xiaoer and Zhu Shimao on the TV screen, and forgot to eat for a while.

From time to time, there was laughter at the dining table, especially Han Zhuangzhuang, who burst into laughter almost every few seconds, full of naivety.

After finally waiting for the skit "Eating Noodles" to end, Han Dingbang touched his tears and said, "Oh, it's so interesting, this actor performed well."

"Dad, this person's name is Chen Peisi, and he is my uncle's friend. My uncle also helped him write the sketch script of "Eating Noodles."

Han Dingbang looked at Lin Weimin with eyes full of relief, "Weimin is really promising now!"

After speaking, he looked at his son again, "Look at other people's performances, and then look at yours. If there is no comparison, there will be no gap. You have to work hard!"

Director Han Dingbang got used to it and couldn't help but teach his son a few words.

Han Zhuangzhuang was stupefied, you read sketches as you please, what are you doing scratching me?Who did I provoke?

Lin Weimin smiled, yes!Let your kid mouth owe!

The New Year's Eve dinner in Shichahai Courtyard continued, as did the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

This year, Li Gu sang nine songs in a row, including "Hometown Love", which was regarded as a "forbidden song";
This year, Liu Xiaoqing was rushing to shoot "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to the Government Behind the Curtain". He ran at both ends of Yanjing and Xiangjiang, and took time to participate in the Spring Festival Gala;

This year, Han Zhuangzhuang and Chen Xiaoer took the stage of the Spring Festival Gala;

This year, "Five Girls Bow to Birthday" appeared on the Spring Festival Gala as a representative of Shaoxing opera, and Tao Huimin played Yang Wufeng;

This year, Lin Weimin wrote two sketch scripts for the gala and acted as a consultant.

As midnight approached, it was time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. The sound of firecrackers outside the window became more and more intense, and even the sound from the TV could not be heard clearly.

With the countdown of the hosts, 1983 really came!
　Three shifts are over.
