On February 16, 1988, the New Year's Eve of the Wuchen year of the lunar calendar, this year's Spring Festival Gala program was brilliant and attracted the attention of thousands of households.
On this day, at the National Television Spring Festival Gala, crosstalk actors Niu Qun and Li Lishan performed the crosstalk "Qiaoli Mingmei".
As a crosstalk rookie, Niu Qun once again left a deep impression on people this year with his magical phrase "Leader, colon".
Pingju opera actor Zhao Lirong co-starred in the sketch "Emergency" with actor You Benchang, who became famous for the TV series "Ji Gong". This old lady with a Tangshan accent was remembered by people across the country.
In addition, at this Spring Festival Gala, the national football team also appeared for the first time.
Coach Gao Fengwen and his disciples rushed to the Olympics for the first time, and they sent New Year greetings to everyone in the form of a video.
In the song program, the most dazzling mainland singer is undoubtedly Mao Amin.
The song "Missing" performed by Mao Amin alone not only became a model representative of family songs through the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast, but she also collaborated with the budding Wei Wei on the song "Cry, Cry, Laugh and Laugh".
Apart from their two shows, the song that received the most praise from audiences across the country was "Xintianyou" sung by Cheng Lin.
As for Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, they are responsible for playing the leading role this year and are the main anchor of the entire program. Of course, mainland fans have already learned the news, and they have been waiting for Teresa Teng and Fei Xiang for a long time.
Since both of them are actors on the island and they were partners in the movie "Crazy Rich Asians", they work very harmoniously and naturally as a male and female partner.
They stand together, whether they are speaking, singing, or joking with each other, they all have a tacit understanding.
According to the director's arrangement, the two first went to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to pay New Year's greetings to compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. They reviewed together this year's ice-breaking of cross-Strait relations and the opening of the mainland's family visit policy on the island, which is a great and historic event.
It expresses the good wish that blood is thicker than water and hopes that cross-strait relations will develop in a better direction in the future.
After that, Teresa Teng began to use her unique talent of humor and started her signature self-deprecating love story.
By the way, I also talked about my starring role and did a quick advertisement for the upcoming movie "Crazy Rich Asians".
Under Fei Xiang's mocking disapproval, she "hummed", and with her little waist inserted, sang a cappella an old joke: "None of the girls in Alishan are beautiful, only I, Teresa Teng, is the most beautiful..."
.
Then, after making people all over the country laugh, she officially started her performance mode as an Asian diva.
Finally, for the first time after a long absence, mainland Chinese audiences were able to openly appreciate her wonderful performance and beautiful Deng's singing voice on the TV screen.
As for the specific songs that were performed.
Teresa Teng first collaborated with Fei Xiang on a light-hearted, humorous and slightly ambiguous song "Liu Liu She".
Then there is a song "Seeing the Smoke Again" that she sang alone.
This is a song adapted from the Japanese folk song "Ri no Autumn".
The song is clear, simple, and poetic, fully expressing the beauty of rural life, and is very consistent with the theme of the Spring Festival Gala.
After that, Fei Xiang went on stage alone with the style of a male god and sang "365 Miles" for the national audience, which reflected the style of a wanderer living in a foreign land and longing for his homeland.
After taking a short break, Teresa Teng returned to the stage again and sang for mainland fans the song she used to sweep the Japanese music scene in 1986 and win the "Double Crown" in one fell swoop.
That is, the Chinese-Japanese bilingual versions of "I Only Care About You" and "Toki no Flow れに Body をまかせ".
Not to mention, in the audience's proud and lingering applause, Teresa Teng finally took out the thing she had packed in the box - the theme song of the movie "Crazy Rich Asians".
That is the song that Ning Weimin "brought", which can be called the masterpiece "The Continuous Stream".
As expected, after singing this song, the soulful melody and lyrics full of life philosophy immediately aroused the emotional resonance of the listener, and I don’t know how many mainland audiences were moved before and after the screen.
Just because the audience received more enthusiastic applause, and the applause gradually stopped until the countdown to zero o'clock started, we know how popular this song is.
I have to say that Teresa Teng's Spring Festival Gala performance was so successful.
She really enjoyed singing, and people all over the country also enjoyed watching her.
Of course, the success of all this is absolutely inseparable from the special care given to Teresa Teng by the Spring Festival Gala Organizing Committee.
Because anyone who knows a little bit about the Spring Festival Gala will understand that the unreserved sincerity shown above really gave Teresa Teng a lot of face, and the treatment she enjoyed was completely unconventional.
Not only did she appear in as many as four songs in the program, but her program time was also extremely important, scheduled just before the clock struck zero, which shows how much they valued her.
To put it bluntly, except for the 1983 Spring Festival Gala, Li Guyi, the most popular singer in China, once made such a splash.
In the history of the Spring Festival Gala, there is no other actor who can dominate the Spring Festival Gala stage for such a long time during the best time of the Spring Festival Gala like Teresa Teng.
Therefore, this Spring Festival Gala is destined to be a Spring Festival Gala that history will never forget.
Not to mention that she first successfully made up for the emotional regret of the people across the country - Teresa Teng finally came to perform in mainland China.
Let’s just say that because of the easing of cross-Strait relations this year, Teresa Teng’s appearance on the Spring Festival Gala stage is of extraordinary significance – compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait really shouldn’t let the estrangement caused by history worsen.
This is not a simple mutual forgiveness and acceptance, but a reflection of the common aspiration of all Chinese descendants on both sides of the Taiwan Strait under the tide of the times.
This is by no means an idealistic pretense, but an inevitable choice stemming from a common blood and culture.
This incident deserves to be kept in mind by all Chinese at home and abroad and interpreted in depth.
Just as Teresa Teng said personally on the stage of the party, "It only takes me three hours to fly from Hong Kong to Beijing. But this is so far away, but it took me more than thirty years to fly!"
"
All in all, Ning Weimin, who facilitated this incident, has meritorious deeds.
And a generation of Asian diva did her best to take this positive step on this major event that is conducive to the reunification of the country and the nation, and her performance was perfect.
Whether on or off the stage, Teresa Teng fully meets the expectations of the mainland people and mainland fans, making everyone feel a sincere feeling that can be called "the intimacy of reunion after a long separation."
Therefore, after watching the Spring Festival Gala, not only were the mainland officials satisfied, but they also spoke highly of Teresa Teng, believing that she was unambiguous in matters of right and wrong and lived up to the love and support of the mainland people for her.
Among the people, the "Teresa Teng fever" that had faded has started to burn again.
Since the first day of the Lunar New Year, countless families across the country have dug out the "Teresa Teng" tapes that had been collecting dust in drawers and listened to them again.
Therefore, there is no suspense that Teresa Teng's "Crazy Rich Asians" movie soundtrack album will be a hot seller when it is released. It is completely a matter of course.
Fortunately, the new album of Teresa Teng that Ning Weimin brought back from Japan has been produced by Pacific Records and has been produced in five million copies ahead of schedule.
So after he saw the signs, he simply contacted Pacific Records without waiting for the movie to be released, and decided to officially launch it on the first day of the new year.
This temporary change of plan immediately caused mainland fans to rush to buy it.
In just three days, without any advertising, millions of copies were sold in video stores across the country, and the distribution speed could not keep up with the sales.
Such enthusiasm even surprised Teresa Teng herself. When the sales data came back, she couldn't believe it.
I never expected that my tapes could be sold in such quantities in mainland China.
You know, her best-selling album in Japan ended with 700,000 or 800,000 copies, and it seems that it has not really exceeded one million.
Several million plates, in her opinion, was a number that she could never dream of.
Needless to say, when everything proved to be true, the diva really realized how huge the mainland market is.
In fact, how did she know that Ning Weimin was not satisfied even with this figure that she thought was impossible?
The number he set with Pacific Records was to release 10 million copies.
If you really can sell this number in the end, then don't say anything.
There is no doubt that Teresa Teng will break the Guinness World Record and be the singer who has sold the best-selling music album in history.
Why do we always say that miracles happen in the mainland?
This is the power of the people!
As for the hidden dangers of this matter, it is probably that some people on the island will feel very unhappy.
However, considering that Teresa Teng did not speak with a clear political leaning at the Spring Festival Gala, and that Ning Weimin prepared a huge contract fine for her as a shield, it is not a problem for Teresa Teng to go back and deal with the cross-examination by the island authorities.
Especially since Chiang passed away just three months ago, the island is now undergoing a transfer of power, and the political situation is at a time when stability is most needed.
Everyone who is engaged in politics knows that policy issues are no joke and must not be changed overnight, otherwise there will be backlash.
What's more, family visits on the mainland and on the island have actually started again, and the government department responsible for cultural propaganda on the island itself is preparing to vigorously promote cross-strait exchanges in culture.'
So once this kind of hole is opened, it's like a dam bursting, and you can't close it even if you want to.
This is not something that can be sent and received freely through human intervention.
Presumably, with the right time, place, and people, the people on the island really couldn't do anything to embarrass Teresa Teng.
Therefore, I am afraid that some people will definitely suffer the loss of being dumb.
As the saying goes, pulling one hair can move the whole body. This is called the general trend.
Regardless of whether they like it or not, or if it is stuck in their throats, they will swallow it hard.
…………
The Chinese New Year is about good spirits. If you don’t have a good spirit, you will never have a good time no matter how you celebrate the New Year.
This is the case for Manager Sha of Pilkington Company.
Regardless of his high salary, high income, and high position, it stands to reason that his wife and children should be reunited and have a prosperous year, and the family will not be short of anything.
But in fact, he was not so lucky, and his life this year was still miserable. It would be hard to say it was too much.
His mood is not much better than those island politicians who were angered by Teresa Teng's sudden appearance at the Spring Festival Gala in mainland China.
The reason was because of the year-end summary meeting that Zou Guodong held two years ago.
Zou Guodong seems to be made of iron. If he wants to be tough, no one can do it, especially with Song Huaigui's full support.
In fact, after the meeting, he announced the internal reform measures at the meeting and implemented them as promised without even a transition.
So veteran executives like Picardin began to complain secretly.
The first thing that made them heartbroken was the financial reform of the reimbursement system.
You know, in the past, under certain unspoken rules, everyone always got what they needed, was considerate of each other, and got along relatively harmoniously.
Now someone has broken this balance, and no one can adapt at all.
In particular, this kind of internal reform would not be of any benefit to those who broke the balance. Not only were everyone surprised, but they were also unable to accept it for a while.
In particular, Manager Sha, who was in charge of logistics and was the head of reimbursement, complained endlessly and felt miserable.
To put it bluntly, logistics work is the most trivial, and it is just about serving people.
It's basically the same as being a waiter in a store, thankless.
If you do well, no one will take credit for your efforts; if you do poorly, everyone will criticize you.
The only advantage is that it is rich in income. You can always make some extra money from miscellaneous purchases, and then use reimbursement to draw some cash from the public account.
But with Zou Guodong's reforms and Xiong Jianmin's implementation, there are far fewer loopholes to exploit.
What was originally bittersweet suddenly turned into pure bitterness.
Just like a cup of Nescafe without creamer or sugar cubes and only pure coffee powder, how can it be swallowed?
It’s not like Manager Sha has never had trouble with Zou Guodong. In private, he even went to Xiong Jianmin to beg him and played the emotional card with him.
But it was all in vain. These two guys are now die-hards who wear a pair of trousers. They don't want to show mercy at all, and they don't even give them a few days of grace.
Instead, they asked about Manager Sha’s past accounts, which made Manager Sha lose his ability.
As a result, because he was afraid of losing his wife and losing his troops, and then uncovering the past, Manager Sha had to stop immediately and return in despair.
Not to mention, adjusting the position of secretaries of the opposite sex and not allowing company executives to interfere in the operation of the Grand Prix have caused countless troubles for Manager Sha.
To put it bluntly, Manager Sha is not a gentleman. How can he not be concerned about the female secretary next to him?
Since I'm in charge of logistics and have to deal with the model team, it's only natural to develop a super-friendly relationship with a few models who want to climb up at any cost.
However, these things that were nothing in the past are now beyond the reach of a company document.
Several girls in the modeling team regarded Manager Sha as a liar, and the female secretary was also dissatisfied with the job transfer.
As a result, some things were not agreed upon. During the Chinese New Year, these little goblins actually came to his home one by one and asked him for youth compensation. Is there anyone who is not embarrassed?
Then his childhood sweetheart wife became furious, and the house was in an uproar, with feathers all over the floor. It was a disaster in the literal sense.
Not only did it make the neighbors in the building laugh, but it also made it impossible to survive this new year.
To be honest, Manager Sha has a family and it’s hard to return home now. During the Chinese New Year, he had no choice but to stay at the Chongwenmen Hotel.
The days of drinking alone made him feel extremely disgusted with this job, and he couldn't help but have the idea of resigning.
Isn't this strange? If there are no benefits in a job, what's the point of doing it?
But he still couldn't make up his mind whether he really wanted to resign. After all, Pierre Cardon's salary was not low.
Not to mention state-owned enterprises, even foreign companies are top leaders.
It would be easy for him to change places, but it would be impossible to find such a salary.
After thinking about it, Manager Sha suddenly remembered someone.
A person who obviously should have returned to the capital to celebrate the New Year, but did not attend the company's regular meeting.
Although this person's position is not as good as Zou Guodong's, he is one of the company's shareholders and is also deeply trusted by Mr. Song.
So if he wanted to fight, even Zou Guodong was no match for him.
So he didn't show up at the company this time...does this show an attitude?
Does this mean that he is also dissatisfied with Zou Guodong’s new policies?
No matter what, Manager Sha decided to meet this man, not just for work, but for the stamps.
Even if I can get some advice on stamp hype, that would be great.
Needless to say, the person Manager Sha wanted to meet was Ning Weimin.
