Chapter 177 The Spring Festival Gala Becomes Famous

With the sound of time chiming, Chinese Dream and Dream Blue White Wine started the Spring Festival Gala at 8 o'clock in the evening. The annual Spring Festival Gala that people across the country and overseas Chinese are looking forward to is slowly unfolding.

Dream Blue is rich this time. Just for the advertising time before eight o'clock, the price per second is as high as more than 5 million. The Spring Festival Gala can be called the most profitable TV program.

With the opening dance "Beautiful Chinese Year" performed by Wu Mei and San Xiaozhi, several hosts gave speeches, and the Spring Festival Gala officially began.

Zhou Yawen returned to her hometown to celebrate the New Year and once again experienced the scene of urging marriage, which made her irritable. However, she felt much calmer while watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Seeing that it was rare for her daughter to watch the Spring Festival Gala with her family, Zhou Yawen's mother asked: "Hey, daughter, you said you didn't want to watch the Spring Festival Gala because it was boring, so why are you watching the Spring Festival Gala with us today?"

Zhou Yawen was boringly scrolling through her cell phone while chatting with her girlfriends. From time to time she would glance up at the TV. When her mother asked, she replied, "I still think so. The Spring Festival Gala is just not good to watch and boring."

Zhou Yawen's father also agreed: "Yes, I also feel that the Spring Festival Gala has become more and more boring in recent years. It is not as interesting as before."

"I see you, you are just used to living a good life. How could you have so many talents and big fish and meat before? The whole family just hopes to have a good meal during the Spring Festival.

Now I can afford to eat big fish and meat on a regular basis, but I can’t afford it during the Spring Festival. I think it’s just hypocritical.” Zhou Yawen’s mother said.

"Mom, I don't agree with what you said. Whether the food is good or not has nothing to do with whether the Spring Festival Gala is good or not. In the past, when Uncle Benshan, Niu herd, Feng Gong and others were there, the Spring Festival Gala was so interesting." Zhou Yawen recalled the feeling of watching the Spring Festival Gala when she was a child.

"Isn't Feng Gong here this year?"

"It's there, but it's not as good as before. I think the main station is not doing it well. It spends so much money every year and starts preparations in April. The result is this effect. It's really hard to describe."

The family was arguing endlessly. As for the boring Spring Festival Gala, no one paid attention to it. The poor TV was playing the most watched TV program in the world, but I didn’t know how many people really wanted to watch it.

Li Hyuk's show was relatively late in the evening. Liu Tao, Jiang Xin and Yang Zi had all finished their performances and bid farewell to Li Hyuk and retreated. However, Li Hyuk was still huddled in the backstage lounge with a group of entertainers, waiting for the announcement to go on stage.

This is the main station, and there is no separate lounge for Li Hyuk to use. Let alone Li Hyuk, even if the king comes, he still has to squeeze into the small lounge with everyone.

There was a rush backstage, with staff and stage artists putting on makeup, putting on props, and removing the stage. It was like a precision instrument, without any mistakes.

If something went wrong at this time, it would be a serious accident, so everyone was careful.

"Teacher Han Hong, you can go get ready." A staff member shouted.

Han Hong patted Li He on the shoulder and said, "I'm going up. Let's have supper together after a while?"

"Okay, Sister Hong, are you treating me to a treat?"

"Looking at what you said, can I let you treat me? I'm going to go on stage first." Han Hong got ready and went on stage to perform.

Previously, Lao Hu, Wang Kai, and Lu Xiaohan had all appeared, and there were also several cross talk sketch programs, but except for Teacher Jiang Kun's, which was interesting, the rest were not satisfactory.

As for the singing and dancing, the dancing is real, the rest is open to question.

On such a stage, no one dares to have a major accident. Once an accident occurs, it means that you will miss the main stage.

Li Hyuk's performance was ranked behind Happy Twist Team and Shen Teng's sketch. The host also gave a speech, introducing Li Hyuk's song "Shanghai 1943".

After the skit "One Son-in-law and Half a Son" brought by Shen Teng ended, the hosts Zhu Jun and Dong Qing came out to host.

"When I was sorting out old things, I found photos of my grandparents when they were young, and I discovered that everyone was once young. The year 1943 can be vaguely distinguished in the lower right corner of the photo," Zhu Jun said.

Dong Qing continued: "My grandparents used to take pictures at Xiaoxiangmen in the old street. At that time, my grandfather was also a handsome young man.

Grandma was a lady, but now the big white house in the back has long been demolished. The street at that time is no longer there. Even the memories of grandparents are slowly disappearing. The faces of grandparents in the photos are gradually getting wrinkled one after another. ."

"Yes, the disappeared old time is like running water without a single ripple. It is taken away with our memories. Now please enjoy the song "Shanghai 1943"."

The two hosts left the stage, and smoke rose from the stage. It felt like an old stage. Dancers in cheongsams and Chinese tunic suits appeared and started the dance performance.

Li He appeared on the stage wearing a Chinese tunic suit, adding a touch of mature age. When my grandmother, who was far away in the countryside of Shanghai, watched Li He appear, she seemed to have seen the time when she first came to Shanghai and met Grandpa Li He.

It has been so long that the memory is blurred. Li He's grandfather passed away when Li He was very young, and the memory about him gradually becomes blurred.

This song seems to take my grandma back to that old time. She vaguely remembers my grandpa’s smile and voice, which is still so moving.

Others are not as sentimental as grandma, but the charm of this song is still very appreciated.

As the black and white old photos played slowly on the big screen, Li Hyuk started singing.

Some people always say that Li Hyuk is not good at singing and cannot pronounce clearly. In fact, this is a stubborn prejudice. At least in this song "Shanghai 1943" Li Hyuk sang clearly.

However, Spring Festival Gala director Yang Dongsheng specifically asked Li Hyuk to sing clearly, so this version is considered the one in which Li Hyuk sings clearly.

“The yellowed Spring Festival couplets still remain on the wall

A few words are vaguely visible: "Peace every year"

In the rice vat of my hometown I have never been back to

Grandpa writes a full letter in regular script

Golden kudzu covers the carved doors and windows

The setting sun reflects on the mottled brick wall

The house covered with beech boards is still filled with

The bean paste made by my grandma

I started imagining the black and white photos

What dad and mom looked like back then

A girl who speaks Wu Nong's soft language

Slowly walking through the Bund~"

With Li Hyuk's singing, people all over the country have appreciated this song with a profound feeling of time. The rice jars, carved doors and windows, and mottled brick walls, along with the lyrics, unconsciously began to appear in the minds of the audience listening to the song. picture.

This is the brilliance of this song. Through the connection of a few words and several objects, various scenes from the old days appear in the minds of the listeners unconsciously.

The elements in the song are not only unique to Shanghai, but also have many similarities in other parts of the country.

Young people don't feel anything at all, they just think this song is pleasant, but those who watched the Spring Festival Gala and the elderly have memories that immediately come to mind after listening to this song.

The same goes for Zhou Yawen's grandmother. She has lost all her teeth and can only eat thin food. Although she is not in good spirits, she still insists on watching the Spring Festival Gala with her family.

Listening to Li He's singing, grandma asked Zhou Yawen: "Granddaughter, what is the name of this singer?"

"Grandma, his name is Li He." Zhou Yawen was happy and proud.

"Li He, this guy is good, and this song is also good. It reminds me of a lot of things in the past." There was a taste of memories on my grandma's face, and she went back to the old days along with the song.

Not only Zhou Yawen's grandma, Li He's grandma, but also many elderly people recalled the past through this song, and then unconsciously admired Li He as a singer.

So unknowingly, Li Hyuk was not well-known among middle-aged and elderly people, and even if he was, he didn't have a good reputation. But after the Spring Festival Gala, this stereotype may have changed.
