1980 My literary era

This year's New Year's Eve is a little special for Lin Weimin, not because of the Spring Festival Gala, but because his brother-in-law Han Dingbang came up from Shanghai.

After many years, the family's popularity has grown.

Lin Weimin came out of the broadcasting compound in the afternoon without riding a motorcycle. He made an agreement with Han Zhuangzhuang that after Han Zhuangzhuang finished his show in the evening, he would ride a motorcycle home, which would make it faster.

By the time Lin Weimin returned to Shichahai Courtyard, it was already past four 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, and he would not bother them at their home.

Sporadic sound of firecrackers could be heard outside the hospital, and from time to time the laughter of children could be heard.

The time has reached seven o'clock, and there is still an hour before the Spring Festival Gala starts, and Han Zhuangzhuang's skit is the fourth program of the party. It is almost time to arrive home at 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 inherited the fine traditions of Shanghai men and was very good at cooking. Because he had lived with Lin Weimin's sister for many years, he was familiar with the habits of Northeastern people and could take better care of Lin Weimin's taste in food.

The two of them had been busy for a long time, and all the dishes were ready. They just needed to cook it. At this time, the Spring Festival Gala also started. The two of them made dumplings and watched the Spring Festival Gala.

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

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

The opening of this year's party is very different from previous New Year's Eve parties. It starts with a cartoon.

This 1 minute and 29 second cartoon is one of the innovative creations of the director team. The animation starts with a scene of children setting off firecrackers. The firecrackers are lit, and the debris falls and turns into plum blossoms. Then it transitions to a plum blossom tree blooming and a cluster of colorful flowers. A picture of lights all on.

At this time, the screen switches, and through the process of "handover" between a jumping puppy and a piglet, it embodies the meaning of "sending off the Year of the Dog and welcoming the Year of the Pig". The image of the pig is finally condensed into an unfolding red image. On the paper, the word "福" on a red background and black is formed that people put up during the Chinese New Year.

Finally, the portraits of the four hosts of the party were personified to form a New Year greeting scene, and then transformed into lanterns in the shapes of "steamed buns, peaches, corn, and piglets", with "New", "Spring" and "Quick" respectively. The word "乐" means a good harvest.

Han Dingbang looked at the opening of the animation on the screen and rarely took the initiative to say: "This opening is very thoughtful!"

His main profession is directing, and he couldn't help but comment on his profession.

Lin Weimin chuckled and said: "Yes, it took a lot of effort. Ma Jinghua, the director of the literary and art department who planned Yang Yong, specially organized several comrades to spend a whole month, hand-drawing frame by frame. There are piles of drawing paper filling a whole room.”

Lin Weimin participated in this year's Spring Festival Gala and knows the stories behind the scenes.

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

The first person to appear was Zhao Zhongxiang, now a well-known announcer from CCTV, delivering the opening speech in his usual magnetic and restrained voice.

After the opening remarks, the four hosts came on stage. After introducing the guests, the hosts paid New Year's greetings.

The concept of host has just been introduced, and their speeches are not as colorful as later generations. The hosts' language was plain and somewhat festive, and even New Year's greetings included one or two auspicious words.

For example, Liu Xiaoqing, the most popular actress in China today, is wearing a red upper body and a long black skirt. She is dignified and elegant. She takes a step towards the camera from the ranks of hosts and says New Year greetings with a smile on her face, "On behalf of the acting industry, I wish Happy New Year to all viewers across the country!"

Next, the Spring Festival Gala program officially began.

First, Li Guyi went on stage and sang a New Year's greeting song, and then Ma Ji and his apprentice Zhao Yan performed two crosstalks. It was supposed to be three crosstalks, but one section was cut off.

After being bombarded with short videos from later generations, Lin Weimin didn't have much feelings about 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 is about to go on stage!"

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

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

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

Lin Weimin is rolling out dumpling wrappers in his hand. Is it that funny?

Lin Weimin can only attribute this to the hope that his son will succeed.

The ten-minute program ended quickly, and Han Dingbang muttered: "It's so good! It's so good!"

Lin Weimin must have thought of his deceased sister again, and said hurriedly: "Brother-in-law, let's hurry up and take care of it. The Zhuangzhuang program has finished, and we should be back later."

Han Dingbang came back to his senses and sped up his movements.

At around 9:30, the sound of motorcycles was heard outside the courtyard. After a while, Han Zhuangzhuang entered the house wrapped in a mink coat.

"But I'm freezing to death!"

He said cold words, and the expression on this boy's face was full of embarrassment.

"Dad! Uncle! Did you watch my show? How was it? Did you do well?"

Before Han Dingbang could say anything, Lin Weimin cursed: "What a fart! You said all your lines wrong, don't you know?"

Hearing this, Han Zhuangzhuang's expression was horrified, "No way, which line was wrong? The director was watching from the audience, why didn't they tell me?"

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

"Uncle!" Han Zhuangzhuang shouted dissatisfiedly, not understanding that Lin Weimin was entertaining him.

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

The three of them worked hard for more than twenty minutes and finally finished the New Year's Eve dinner before ten o'clock.

Today I specially 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 fine wine and delicacies. Han Dingbang raised his glass with mixed feelings in his heart.

After holding it in for a long time, he said: "Zhuangzhuang has grown up! He has made a difference for the people!"

Lin Weimin raised his wine glass and said, "The days will definitely get better and better in the future. Zhuangzhuang will get married in two years, and I will give you a fat grandson. From now on, you can play with your grandson happily and enjoy the happiness of your family."

Han Dingbang had a longing smile on his face and said, "You have to hurry up, it's already twenty-three after the New Year."

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

Several people raised their glasses and drank.

After putting down the wine glass, Han Zhuangzhuang suddenly came to Han Dingbang and muttered. Han Dingbang looked at Lin Weimin with a bit of suspicion.

"What are you talking about behind my back?"

Han Dingbang said at this time: "For the people, have you become friends?"

Lin Weimin looked at Han Zhuangzhuang with a surprised expression.

"Did this kid tell you?"

Han Dingbang nodded.

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

Han Zhuangzhuang looked proud, "Uncle, if you don't want others to know about you, you have to do nothing yourself. You two will be making love to each other in the background all day long..."

Lin Weimin secretly sighed that there really was no airtight wall in this world. Fortunately, he thought he and Tao Huimin were quite hidden.

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

Although Tao Huimin is younger now, she is already an actress in the Yue Opera Troupe. In these days, she is considered an adult after earning a salary.

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

"You kid..." Lin Weimin glared at Han Zhuangzhuang and dared to follow your uncle. What do you want to do?

Han Zhuangzhuang shrank his head, "I originally wanted to talk to you about the script..."

"Stop arguing with me. Can you work 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, "For the people, it's a good thing to be friends. When are you going to bring the girl home to see her? It just so happens that I'm still in Yanjing."

Lin Weimin had a headache. Why was his brother-in-law urging the marriage?

"Brother-in-law, Huimin is still young, so we are not in a hurry."

"I'm not asking you to get married right away. Let's take it home to see it first! How young can Xiao Neng be?"

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

"That's really small!"

After speaking, he glared at Lin Weimin again, "Be nice to others and don't do anything frivolous, otherwise it will be a matter of style and morality."

"I……"

Why does it involve issues of style and morality? I just want to fall in love.

But who knows that Han Dingbang is the senior one in this family now? Lin Weimin nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a while and eating for a while, Han Zhuangzhuang pointed at the TV screen and said, "Look! Uncle Chen is out!"

Lin Weimin and Han Dingbang turned around to look. On the TV screen, Chen Xiaoer wearing a woolen hat was surrounding Zhu Shimao in a suit and calling the director.

Chen Xiaoer appears!

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

People around the dinner table burst into laughter from time to time, especially Han Zhuangzhuang, who burst out laughing almost every few seconds, full of naivety.

After finally waiting for the skit "Eating Noodles" to end, Han Dingbang said with tears in his eyes: "Oh, it was so interesting. This actor did a good job."

"Dad, this man's name is Chen Peisi. He is my uncle's friend. My uncle also wrote the script for the "Eating Noodles" sketch for him."

Han Dingbang looked at Lin Weimin with eyes full of relief, "Weimin is so 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 looked confused. Just watch the sketch. Why are you scratching me? Who did I offend?

Lin Weimin had a smile on his face, yes! Make your kid mouth-watering!

The New Year’s Eve dinner in the Shichahai courtyard continues, as does the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

This year, Li Gu sang nine songs in a row, including "Hometown Love" which was considered a "forbidden song";

This year, Liu Xiaoqing was rushing to film "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "The Government Behind the Curtain", traveling between Yanjing and Xiangjiang, and took time to attend the Spring Festival Gala;

This year, Han Zhuangzhuang and Chen Xiaoer appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage;

This year, "Five Daughters Birthday Wishes" appeared on the Spring Festival Gala as a representative of Yue Opera, with Tao Huimin playing Yang Wufeng;

This year, Lin Weimin wrote two sketch scripts for the party and became a consultant.

It was approaching midnight, the 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 on the TV could not be heard clearly.

With the hosts counting down, 1983 is really here!

The third update is over.
