Save the Bachelor of Heaven

At the end of 1985, CCTV approached Xiang Nan again, hoping that he could help produce a few more works.

In 1983, 1984, and 1985, Xiang Nan wrote songs, which became popular every year and became an indispensable part of the Spring Festival Gala.

Xiang Nan agreed without hesitation, but still made a request. He hoped that he could also be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

"Actually, I'm good at singing, and I hope I can also perform on stage." He thought of the humanity of the Spring Festival Gala program group.

Over the years, there have been eight if not ten people who have become popular by singing his songs. Why are they so popular, traveling around, singing a song, earning hundreds of thousands.

He wrote so many songs that he never saw a dime. This is too unreasonable. So he also wants to go to the Spring Festival Gala. Let’s not talk about making money or not, at least you have to be famous.

Besides, in the 1980s, those who were able to attend the Spring Festival Gala were basically the elites of the literary and art circles, and they would become the masters of the literary and art circles in the future.

He's going to make some friends now, when the time comes, these will be all his connections. Can't prepare for when it will come in handy.

"With your reputation and status, we certainly welcome you to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. But we have to review and review it first. After all, the Spring Festival Gala will be broadcast live across the country, so we have to be cautious." The humanity of the Spring Festival Gala program group.

Xiang Nan starred in "The Garland Under the Mountain" in 1982, and became a well-known national star, winning the love of countless people.

In the past two years, he has successively filmed "Midnight", "Outpost in the Birch Forest", "Under the Bridge", etc., further consolidating and enhancing his reputation.

So in terms of fame and status, going to the Spring Festival Gala is not a problem. The program team was just worried that his singing was not as good as a professional singer, so they proposed to review it first.

Xiang Nan did not object to this.

He naturally had confidence in himself, and immediately, he took out the "Speak from the Heart" that he was going to sing.

In addition, two songs "Good Luck Comes" and "Where is Spring" were also presented for other singers to sing.

These three songs quickly passed the review of the program group. After passing the review, find an arranger to arrange the music, find a band to play, and record the accompaniment tape.

Xiang Nan was then reviewed by the program team.

"To tell the truth, I miss home too. The old mother at home has gray hair..." He held the microphone and sang affectionately with tears in his eyes, accompanied by the music.

Offstage, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala preparation team listened carefully.

Soon after singing a song, the members of the preparatory team whispered to each other. After some exchanges, they unanimously agreed to let Xiang Nan go to the Spring Festival Gala.

"Comrade Liu Feng, I really didn't expect that you could sing so well. We really lost our fortune before, and we should have invited you to perform." Huang Yihe, the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala, held Xiang Nan's hand.

...

In the next two months, Xiang Nan would report to the Spring Festival Gala program group every now and then.

The rehearsal and review over and over again, the procedure is very cumbersome and the process is very boring.

But Xiang Nan didn't care too much, instead he took the opportunity to meet many friends.

For example, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao who performed sketches; Yu Junjian, Yin Xiumei, Jiang Dawei, Cheng Fangyuan who sang; Feng Gong, Liu Wei, Hou Yaowen, Shi Fukuan, Jiang Kun, Tang Jiezhong who talked about cross talk; hosts Zhao Zhongxiang, Liu Xiaoqing, Wang Gang and so on.

These are the elite backbones of the mainland's literary and art circles, getting acquainted with them has greatly expanded Xiang Nan's network of contacts.

And these people are also very happy to get acquainted with Xiang Nan, especially those singers who are more enthusiastic about Xiang Nan.

"Mr. Liu, the songs you wrote are really nice. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you." Yin Xiumei said gratefully.

In 1984, she participated in the Youth Singing Contest, won the championship, and became famous in one fell swoop. In 1985, she sang the song "Party, Dear Mother" written by Xiang Nan on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. And with this song, it became popular all over the country overnight.

Now she is already a well-known red singer in the Mainland. And drinking water does not forget the well digger, and traces the source, of course she would like to thank Xiang Nan for writing such a good song for her.

"No problem, welcome anytime." Xiang Nan smiled.

Besides Yin Xiumei, Jiang Dawei also asked Xiang Nan to thank Xiaoping on his behalf. Because the song "In the Place where Peach Blossoms Bloom" he sang was composed by Xiaoping.

"We Serve as Soldiers" sung by Yu Junjian; "Young Aspirations Don't Sorrow" sung by Cheng Fangyuan; "Good Days" sung by Dong Wenhua are all written by Xiang Nan. So they are very grateful to him.

Even Zhu Shimao was very grateful to Xiang Nan. He became famous with the movie "The Wrangler". The script and novel of "The Wrangler" were all written by Xiang Nan, so he was also very enthusiastic when he saw Xiang Nan.

It is precisely because of this that Xiang Nan made many friends in the Spring Festival Gala program group, which rapidly expanded his network.

...

On February 8th, New Year's Eve, at 8:00 p.m., the Spring Festival Gala will be broadcast live.

Xiang Nan wore the 85-style military uniform and sang "We Serve as Soldiers" solo, which won the love of audiences across the country.

A small village in Qilu.

Liu Feng's parents specially moved the TV station to the yard, so that all the young and old in the village could come and see their son's demeanor on stage.

"Hey, this is really the second child. Oh, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and he is still so young."

"That's right. The second elementary school is promising now. It's a big cadre in Yanjing. I heard that it makes thousands of dollars a month."

"Oh, the old Liu family's ancestral grave is smoking. Back then, I was so poor that I couldn't even wear trousers. Now I have a TV, a washing machine, a refrigerator, a telephone, and a tape recorder."

"Why don't you talk about Er Xiao's ability, not only did he eat the imperial food, but even his elder brother was transferred to the city, and served the iron rice bowl."

While watching TV, the folks discussed one after another, with endless envy in their words.

...

For those old members of the art troupe, many people are watching TV at the moment.

Seeing Xiang Nan appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, many people were both surprised and happy.

"Oh, it's actually the old regiment leader! Hey, can you believe it, he is my old regiment leader."

"Liu Feng is getting more and more promising now, and even attended the Spring Festival Gala. He is still so energetic."

"Who would have imagined that the poor boy back then would be so powerful now."

"Ding Ding, when he pursued you back then, you really should have agreed to him, and now you are the one who is doing well."

Many people also expressed emotion frequently.

...

Xiang Nan's singing in the Spring Festival Gala made him a popular singer.

"We Serve as Soldiers" resounded through the barracks and became another song of soldiers.

Because his reputation is so high, Zongzheng even considered transferring him to the singing and dancing team and letting him participate in daily performances.

But when discussing with Xiang Nan, he still refused.

Just kidding, he just wants to be famous, but he doesn't want to be transferred to the song and dance team.

You must know that after being transferred to the song and dance team, there are 365 days a year, and almost half of the time is going to perform. On average, two to three hundred performances are performed a year.

And as a soldier, you must obey the dispatch and be there on call. No matter how hard it is, no matter how remote the place is, you have to go. It is really hard.

In comparison, it is much easier to stay in the creative team, and you can stay at home and enjoy the happiness every day. So unless he had a brain hole, he wouldn't be transferred to the song and dance team.
