After the conception of the first Spring Festival Gala in 1983 was completed, in order to show the weight of the party, the program team specially invited ministerial leaders to review and give opinions.
did not expect that the minister-level leader directly said after the review: "How can someone like Jiang Kun preside over?" Why did the leader of
say this? What are the behind-the-scenes stories of
's first Spring Festival Gala? What difficulties have you experienced?
What is the difference between this Spring Festival Gala and previous ones?
1. "To hold the most decent Spring Festival Gala that CCTV has never had."
Before 1983, CCTV also held Spring Festival Gala every year, but it was only a general party.
In the Spring Festival Gala in 1983, the director task was handed over to Huang Yihe .
Huang Yihe was born in violin and . Later, when the TV career in China was just developing, he entered the team of TV directors, started with singing and dancing shows, and finally became the director of large-scale variety shows.
Huang Yihe is a thoughtful person. When the Spring Festival crew discussed the program, he basically had the prototype of the party in his mind: "We are going to do it in the form of a tea house, not in the theater, and we will broadcast it live, like a broadcast. Just like a football match, I would like to invite you to join the creative team to organize the program and host it together.”
In order to innovate, Huang Yihe also set up a creative team for the Spring Festival Gala. The team members are: Huang Yihe, Yang Yong, Ma Ji , Wang Jingyu , Jiang Kun.
In order to do a good job in creation, Huang Yihe organized a huge group of consultants, all of them are old artists, including: Hou Baolin , Yuan Shihai, Guo Lanying, Du Peng, Xie Tian. When
was creating, there were two modes at that time; one was the old mode of Wang Jingyu and Ma Ji, which was the Spring Festival party mode before the "Cultural Revolution", and the other was the new mode of Huang Yihe and Yang Yong.
's idea at the time was how to combine these two modes.
Huang Yihe set the pattern for the whole party. He said: "The host and the show are best integrated. It is like a chain, stringing the beads of the show together." Each moderator made a "division of labor": moderator, deputy moderator, main announcer, assistant to the main announcer. The
concatenated words were written by Ma Ji, Wang Jingyu and Jiang Kun in three parts, one for each person. At the beginning of
, they wrote very lively, like a comedy drama . When
read the concatenated words, it took more than half an hour for any part, and it took two hours to add a piece of light to concatenate the words. In the end, it was all simplified by Yang Yong. The first time
matched the words, Liu Xiaoqing quit: "There are so many words, it's like talking about cross talk, I can't act, it makes people look like what, I am in charge of the news."
Liu Xiaoqing was a popular star at the time, she Saying it can't be done, the other three had to look at each other.
Wang Jingyu said: "You can't read that, I'll read it for you. Give me anything you don't want."
Liu Xiaoqing agreed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. During the creation process of
, Huang Yihe put forward many new ideas:
will be the longest program for five hours, passing through the New Year's bell; Laughter runs through the end; it is necessary to highlight the sense of presence and increase the number of calls to directly enter the scene; to let TV audiences across the country have a sense of participation, there are riddles on the scene, the audience guesses riddles, and there are prizes and rewards...
These ideas seem commonplace now, but they were quite new at the time.
Huang Yihe said: "I want to put all the top actors and programs in the country in this party!"
He did what he said, and the party suddenly became a gathering place for celebrities in the literary and art circles: Hu Songhua , Ma Yutao , Li Guyi , Jiang Dawei , Yuan Shihai, Ling Zifeng , Hou Baolin, Guo Lanying, Yan Shunkai , Siqin Gaowa, Hou Yuewen, Shi Fukuan , Zhao Yan, Li Wenhua.
is really full of big names and stars shine.
z0In addition, famous acrobats, national martial arts champions, Chinese women's volleyball team , well-known ones are invited anyway.
Hou Baolin recommended the host
felt that the appearance of the four hosts was not grand enough, so he asked cross talk master Hou Baolin to launch it again.
Huang Yihe said: "Foreign brands all talk about famous brands and launch gold-medal hosts. I have seen a Hong Kong TV party, and the host is a young lady. She is too slippery. I must invite her, but I can't do it now. Our TV station doesn’t have a brand-name program yet. If we can create a gold-medal program that is famous every year, I will either invite a gold-medal host from outside, or create a gold-medal host in China!”
It can be seen from the above that at that time Huang Yihe, who was very smug, said with confidence: "puts on the most decent Spring Festival Gala that CCTV has never had before."
Facts proved that he did it, and that Spring Festival Gala caused quite a stir.
2. Jiang Kun and Liu Xiaoqing are in conflict in art
Liu Xiaoqing is Sichuanese , straight-tempered, open mouth and say whatever he thinks. As soon as
made a pair of concatenated words, she shouted: "There are so many words, it's like talking about cross talk..."
means that cross talk is inferior and looks down upon.
His words made Ma Ji and Jiang Kun very disliked.
Later, Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Kun said: "Kun Er, I mean as slippery as a cross talk, I can't come, don't show me too stupid with you, I definitely don't mean to look down on you."
rehearsed with the host. At that time, Ma Ji, Jiang Kun and the others finally wrote the words, and many places they thought were more exciting places, but Liu Xiaoqing just didn't say it, and said "boring".
Liu Xiaoqing
Jiang Kun wrote the concatenation word like this:
Jiang: Let's introduce the division of labor among the four people.
Ma: I am the host.
Liu: Mr. Ma, we are the host. The host is a monk.
Wang: Mr. Ma is a Maitreya Buddha when he is shaved.
Ma: Yes (pat his belly)! Maitreya Buddha with a big belly.
Jiang: I'm the deputy host...
Liu Xiaoqing doesn't say "the host is a monk", but says it's not "her words".
forced Wang Jingyu to talk, but the joke of "Maitreya Buddha with a big belly" was gone.
Jiang Kun is very worried about this.
But Liu Xiaoqing said it all, but he was very serious when he did it, and sometimes there were unexpected results. During the live broadcast of
, Liu Xiaoqing added a word that was not in the series after reading a telegram: "At this moment, I miss my parents the most, I think you must sit in front of the TV and watch the show, tomorrow. I'm going back to celebrate the New Year with you guys, and I'm here to greet you two elders."
was on CCTV, taking advantage of the live broadcast to talk about his family's affairs, isn't this "fake public welfare"? For
, Ma Ji, and Wang Jingyu, this is definitely a "daring thing", they don't even dare to think about it.
, but after Liu Xiaoqing finished speaking, the feedback he brought was very good, and moved many people, for which the three admired her.
even Ma Ji and Jiang Kun said: "Look at people!"
3. The concept of ringing the bell on the hour for the first time
The concept of the first Spring Festival Gala is advanced and full of new ideas, in order to show the party The program team specially invited ministerial leaders to review and give comments.
Who knew that the leader said something after listening to the idea: "How can someone like Jiang Kun be the host? It's okay to talk about cross talk, but the host is too poor."
This surprised Huang Yihe. After
, the program team discussed whether the program could not be called and try not to be disturbed as much as possible. When
reported on the program for the first time, he really didn't invite relevant leaders. The biggest leaders were Hou Baolin and Yuan Shihai.
They really listened carefully to the concatenated words and the idea of the show.
Yuan Shihai patted his thigh and said: "It's good, it's quite fresh, but don't be toolong. Before 12 o'clock on the line, or delay sleep. "
Hou Baolin disagreed, he said: "It doesn't matter if the common people stay up all night at 30 o'clock and past 12 o'clock. It's a good idea to ring the bell at 12 o'clock. This is called the combination of Chinese and Western, and all the bells in the West are ringing at 12 o'clock. The bell is paid attention to in bell and drum tower . That bell is a bell that can be heard in the whole of Beijing. Generally speaking, ten people ring it, and one person shouts a horn, and the sound can be heard for 30 seconds. "
However, the idea is good, but the bell can't be found. The bell of the bell and drum tower is a cultural relic and is not allowed to be used. The religious color of the church bell is too strong and not suitable for the national conditions.
Ma Ji reminded: "There are, There should be in the temple too. "
started looking for a clock in the whole Beijing city, but there was none, and finally found a clock in Tantuo Temple outside Beijing. After contacting
, the crew immediately decided to "shoot the New Year's Eve and ring the bell" at night. The four hosts , get ready now.
That night, the program team braved the cold wind to drive to Tanzhe Temple .
The requested scene of the Spring Festival Gala is: On New Year's Eve, the hour hand points to 12 o'clock. The new year is coming. Horse season , Jiang Kun, Liu Xiaoqing, and Wang Jingyu dressed in festive costumes in front of the ancient Chinese-style bell. The boiling crowd, the land of China, and hundreds of millions of people are celebrating the New Year...
But facing the gloomy and cold scene in front of us, how can there be a little bit of New Year's atmosphere.
In the dark night, the staff of the Garden Bureau and Tantuo Temple The flashlight added a little bit of anger to the atmosphere here. Under the command of the flashlight, the crew of the crew prepared to pull the cable and hang up the light. When
saw such a thick wire, the person in charge of the Garden Bureau was horrified : "It can't be pulled. The electricity in our temple is limited, and the voltage is not enough. If a spark is thrown from your thick wire, no one of us here can take responsibility. "
The wood in the centuries-old temple is extremely dry. If there is a slight leak, no one will be able to eat it and walk around! It's best if the staff takes out two pairs of portable iodine and tungsten lamps, , to solve the problem. The problem with the lamp.
has a lamp, and the bell is a problem again.
There is a bell in the big temple, , but there is no hammer to ring the bell.
Someone brought a broom handle, someone brought a shovel handle.
hit Twice, like knocking on a stone, there was no movement at all.
A young man onlookers saw this and quickly found a big wooden stake with a thick bowl mouth and said: "Use this, ring this bell. There must be weight, no weight is there! "
This wood is really heavy, and it weighs 30 kilograms. When four people pick it up, it seems very difficult.
"The host took off his coat and took a test shot. "The director said.
, but the four people can't stand still at this time!
Ma Ji said: "Director, we have to practice for a while, the movements are inconsistent, I go forward, she goes back, and she has to hit me in the foot. "
" I'm the only one who is weak, it's me who smashed. Liu Xiaoqing added next to it, the crowd burst into laughter.
In the end, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the video of ringing the bell was finally successfully filmed. At the Spring Festival Gala, the scene of the four hosts ringing the bell with great interest showed In front of hundreds of millions of audiences.
Wang Jingyu's performance of eating chicken
Fourth, after being criticized for more than ten years, Wang Jingyu did not dare to play " eating chicken "
When he started editing the program, Wang Jingyu couldn't live up to the pantomime that everyone applauded later The sketch "Eating Chicken". This program
describes the process of a person eating chicken in a greatly exaggerated way.
This chicken is not overcooked, and the chicken band is stronger and more elastic than a rubber band. It was a good time when the artistic youth was in full bloom. "Chicken" was performed vividly. On the stage, one person punched and kicked, and the chicken was "turned upside down and generous".
This program was before the "Cultural Revolution" It has been performed in the Spring Festival Gala program organized by the Central People's Broadcasting Station .
However, after the "Cultural Revolution" ten years, this program has been approved for ten years, and it is believed that Wang Jingyu is in theTo "attack socialism" is to use "a chicken that cannot be cooked, cooked or eaten" to satirize "social reality", incite "mass dissatisfaction with social life", and achieve the goal of "removing the Communist Party" .
's far-fetched and indiscriminate oversight has also frightened Wang Jingyu for more than ten years.
Wang Jingyu said: "This show can't be held at the Spring Festival Gala. It has no theme, and it is easy for people to say 'vulgar' and 'nonsense'."
Jiang Kun said: "I already said about "Such a Photo", and I was afraid that people would hit the rightists at first. Isn't it okay?"
Wang Jingyu said: "Your "Such a Photo" highlights politics and seeks out the big social themes. What does my "Eating Chicken" highlight, highlight eating characters?" Everyone was amused.
What is this party going to highlight?
Ma Ji finally said: "If we want to be bold, we can highlight the word 'le'. It has been more than ten years. The common people are not very happy. Why is cross talk so popular after the smashing of the "Gang of Four", because big guys need music. In our Spring Festival Gala program, don’t use too many politicized words, and don’t want to use this kind of program, let everyone laugh, if the festival is over, the program will be a success!”
said these few words at the time The words are amazing.
finally built on this foundation, and the party's tone was "Joy, Up".
Everyone also compiled Wang Jingyu's "Eating Chicken" into a small plot:
Jiang Kunyan was tired and ran to the side to steal a chicken prepared for Wang Jingyu.
Ma Ji couldn't find Jiang Kun, so he shouted: "Jiang Kun, it's time for the newspaper program, Wang Jingyu performed "Eat Chicken"."
Wang Jingyu hurried over and took an empty plate: "Ma Ji, I have no chicken, what should I do without props? Acting?"
Ma Ji was also in a hurry and helped to find the chicken, and found that Jiang Kun was stealing chicken, he was not angry: "Jiang Kun, what are you doing, how did you steal the chicken that Wang Jingyu was acting in? How do you act, you..."
Jiang Kun was taken aback, and quickly defended: "Mr. Ma, I'm so hungry, it's been two hours, no... what..."
Jiang Kun slipped a piece of chicken into it. In Ma Ji's hands, Ma Ji hid the chicken behind his back and quickly criticized Wang Jingyu: "Jingyu, you too, can't act without chicken? Old actors, no real performances!"
Wang Jingyu had no choice but to prepare.
Ma Ji was complacent, took out the chicken hidden behind his back, and just about to put it in his mouth, he looked wrong: "Jiang Kun, what part are you giving me?" Throwing it into his hands, the audience burst into laughter.
The performance of "Eating Chicken" began to have causes and consequences. Jiang Kun asked Wang Jingyu: "This is part of the play. If you don't act, you can't go on without the whole play."
Wang Jingyu was very happy after listening to the plot. Played "Eat Chicken" with confidence.
The first Spring Festival Gala created the first famous brand program in China's TV industry - the Spring Festival Gala.
has launched a new party format called "tea seat".
"invented" a new party hosting style of "host tandem".
The Spring Festival Gala in 1983 started, which was an expected success. All the expected effects reached the best level of the director's design in the performance of the party;
was also an unexpected success. It is so broad that almost hundreds of millions of people watch a play together, and hundreds of millions of people share their thumbs.
all stems from daring to create new things and to give.
