"Dear audience, good evening! This is the Beijing Workers' Stadium, and the 1985 Spring Festival Gala is being broadcast live here!" Zhao Zhongxiang, wearing a suit, served as the program host. Perhaps he has not adapted to the live broadcast yet, so he stopped two or three times in the middle of saying these words.

Huang Yihe, the director of the Spring Festival Gala who was watching the surveillance in the director's car, frowned because Zhao Zhongxiang's suit was dark and there was no light on the seats in the background. It seemed that the entire screen was gray, which was completely incompatible with the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala.

"Tsk, cut the camera to the front of the stage!" Huang Yihe shouted quickly.

Kang Jianfei picked up the chocolate on the table and peeled it off the sugar coat. While chewing, he watched the actor appear. The position where he sat was very good, and the people on the stage could see it clearly.

There are five hosts in total, including Jiang Kun, Ma Ji, Zhang Yu from the mainland, Banban from Hong Kong, and Zhu Wanyi from Taiwan.

After the opening remarks of the five hosts, the opening show "Hundred Monkeys Welcome the Spring", which is a traditional monkey drama performed by the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe.

"This year's Spring Festival Gala may have been screwed up!" Yang Jie suddenly said.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said that he was at least sleepy when he sat in front of him. It was probably even more awkward to watch the seats in the back and the audience in front of the TV.

The traditional monkey drama "Hundred Monkeys Welcome the Spring" lasted for 15 minutes. At the beginning, I sang a paragraph, but later I was just playing monkey drama.

The audience was better, and I really couldn't watch it in front of the TV. In order to show the effect of the "Hundred Monkeys Welcome the Spring" group show, the director spent two-thirds of his time shooting with a telephoto lens. In addition, the lighting effect was too poor, and the program effect on the TV screen was the same as watching an ultra-low resolution island primary school movie.

The performance was 15 minutes long, and everyone was still enjoying it at first, but after seven or eight minutes, they became aesthetically exhausted. It was not until the end of the show that the audience applauded happily. Many people shouted "Okay", "Okay" in favor of the venue - it was finally over. As a result, before the monkeys were finished, the monkeys went down and a little monkey came up again. After the sporadic cheers, the scene became cold again.

Kang Jianfei was too lazy to watch the show, so he talked with Yang Jie from time to time about the filming of "Journey to the West". He was not interested in traditional scripts, let alone the 15-minute monkey drama. The first program "Hundred Monkeys Welcome the Spring" finally ended, and Kang Jianfei was shocked and thought there would be some refreshing program next.

The result disappointed Kang Jianfei. After "Hundred Monkeys Welcome the Spring", it actually had a five-minute ancient music chime performance, and the speaker effect on the scene was not very good, which was even more dismal than the monkey scene just now.

The only thing that made Kang Jianfei happy was that the chime performance was interspersed with half a minute of Tao Han’s performance, and the song he played was his "The Original Scenery of Hometown".

After the chime performance, the song "Nanxiangzi" was once again, but fortunately, it was also singing, not as monotonous as the previous two shows, and the atmosphere on the scene improved a lot.

It was not until the fourth program that the Spring Festival Gala was really lively.

Due to the butterfly effect brought by Kang Jianfei, the singer and performance team have changed. Ye Zhentang, who came from Hong Kong, sang "The Great Wall Never Falls", while Hu Juncai's Shaolin Martial Arts Team performed martial arts performances with companion songs.

"good!"

"Huo Yuanjia!"

"Shaolin Temple!"

“…”

After Ye Zhentang finished singing a paragraph, warm applause burst out on the scene, and the wonderful routine performances of a group of bald teenagers also received cheers.

In parallel space, since the drama "Huo Yuanjia" has not become popular in the mainland, and there are no subtitles on the live broadcast, the audience has no reaction to "The Great Wall Never Fall", because most people simply don't understand what the singers are singing.

But Phoenix Channel in this time and space sold "Huo Yuanjia" to CCTV early, and the theme song is well-known to the people of the whole country, so the first sentence resonated with the audience.

After watching a song, Ye Zhentang stepped back and gave up the stage to the Shaolin Martial Arts Team. He saw a group of eyebrows dancing like a hot wheel in the hands of the "Little Monk", and another huge cheer came from the Workshop.

It was not until this moment that the director of the Spring Festival Gala, Huang Yihe, breathed a sigh of relief. The previous four cold shows really made him feel sweaty.

After "The Great Wall Never Falls", there were several boring programs. However, the women's volleyball girls who won the world championship last year made a collective appearance, causing a carnival like tsunami.

Ye Zhentang performed on behalf of Phoenix TVB, and then it was naturally a TVB program. Luo Wen went on stage and sang three songs in a row. Kang Jianfei thought he sang well, and he was worthy of being a Hong Kong golden voice singer, but the audience did not react much. Because Luo Wen sang Cantonese songs, no one had heard of them and couldn't understand them. He was really glaring at the blind man.

Then there were several boring programs. The Cantonese opera "Red Line Girl" directly hypnotized many audiences on the scene and started dozing off when sitting in their seats. The Gongsports Hall was too big, the stage light was too dark, and the audience in the back row could not see the performance clearly and could not understand Cantonese opera. What else could they do without sleeping?

"Next, please invite Miss Li Ningyu to bring you a song "Water Town in Dreams"!"

Before Li Ningyu could get on the stage, a prelude with a fresh and pleasant ancient style sounded. The style was completely different from all previous programs, such as the guzheng and bamboo flute accompaniment of the breeze blowing on his face, instantly awakening the sleepiness of the audience.

Under the background of this atmosphere, Li Ningyu, wearing a long green dress, came out of the backstage and climbed down, just like an ancient Jiangnan woman coming through time and space.

“Spring dusk

Please accompany me to the water town in my dream

Let the waving hand

Floating in the mist

Don't wake up the willow shore

Those lingering past events

Turned into a wisp of smoke

Disappeared in the distance

…”

When Li Ningyu opened her mouth, the gentle singing sang directly into the human heart, giving people the feeling of filthy ears being completely cleaned by the spring water.

"Beautiful, so beautiful! Beautiful songs are even more beautiful." Yang Jie couldn't help but applaud.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "If Director Yang likes this singer, why not ask her to film "Journey to the West"."

Yang Jie laughed when she heard this and said, "I'm worried that the role of Jade Rabbit Spirit can't find a suitable actor, but I just don't know which unit this singer is from."

Kang Jianfei introduced: "Her name is Li Ningyu. She used to be from the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and now she is a signed singer from Guangzhou/Zhou Xiongfei Records Company."

Yang Jie asked in surprise: "Mr. Kang is very familiar with this Li Ningyu?"

Kang Jianfei said funnyly: "I wrote this song "Water Town in Dreams" specifically for her."

"So that's it," Yang Jie suddenly realized and praised, "Mr. Kang is indeed a talented man. This song "Water Town in Dreams" is very nice."

How come it doesn't sound good?

Even 20 years later, good Chinese-style songs can be refreshing, not to mention that in the mainland when pop songs are still in its infancy, they are still in the 1980s.

"Baobabababababa..."

After the song was finished, the applause at the scene rang like thunder, and many people even stood up excitedly and asked Li Ningyu to sing another song.

Far away in a tube building in the Magic City, Li Lingyu's parents and brother and sister-in-law were also slapping their faces wildly.

Before the slap was finished, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs came to visit each other one by one.

"Old Li, is it really your Yu on TV?"

"A Yu is about to become a singer, Lao Li, just wait and enjoy your happiness."

"This little girl is good at singing as she is young, and she is the best thing to be a singer."

“…”

Li Ningyu's parents were smiling from ear to ear, and they grabbed melon seeds and candies to entertain their neighbors. In the end, everyone just gathered at Li Ningyu's house to watch TV.

"Oh, I lost a lot, I lost a lot!" The person who said this was Mrs. Wang Kun, the leader of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. She was sitting on the spot watching the performance. Seeing Li Ningyu so popular, she was so regretful that she shouldn't have let anyone go!

After Li Ningyu's "Water Town in Dreams", except for a few songs that could be heard, other programs were like chewing wax. Several language performance programs were also uneven, and only Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's "Making Movies" made the audience laugh.

The highest leader who watched the Spring Festival Gala on site that night was a vice premier. After hearing that the old man watched the show for several hours, he only praised Li Ningyu's "Water Town in Dreams".

The purpose of Kang Jianfei's trip to Beijing was to get to know more of the leaders. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he took Li Ningyu to visit the vice premier in charge of cultural affairs and asked Li Ningyu to sing a special show for the old man.

What does it mean to be a night of popularity?

Last year, he was Hong Kong singer Zhang Mingmin, and this year it was Li Ningyu's turn. Hundreds of millions of people remembered Li Ningyu and her "Water Town in Dreams" through a Spring Festival Gala.

In the following days, the Spring Festival Gala program team received several sacks of letters from all over the country. Except for calling this year's Spring Festival Gala too bad, almost all the other letters were praised by Li Ningyu.

Speaking of which, Kang Jianfei helped the director of the Spring Festival Gala Huang Yihe. In the original time and space, Huang Yihe was called to scold him on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It was said that the central leaders criticized the Spring Festival Gala for being too bad. In the following week, countless letters of criticism flew over the country like snowflakes.

Now with Li Ningyu's surprising performance, everyone's dissatisfaction has dissatisfied a lot.

On the first day of the first lunar month of the Chinese New Year, Xiongfei Records' entrepreneurial record "Water Town in Dreams" was released nationwide simultaneously, and almost all department stores were playing this song.

The reason why the goods were sold so smoothly was due to the sales channels of China Record Corporation, and the shares given by Kang Jianfei were not given for free.

Of course, Xiongfei Records does not do nothing. The tapes displayed by department stores in various places are given to them for free, and major newspapers also take the initiative or collect money to promote "Dream Water Town".

"Hey, I'm xx department store here. "Dream Water Town" is out of stock, and I'll ship 500 boxes over."
