Chapter 600: An audience with the mother of the country
The next day, after Han Jin finished breakfast, he took a bus to CCTV accompanied by Chen Ming.
It is worth mentioning that although most parts of the country still implement a food coupon system to restrict the supply of materials, overseas Chinese like Han Jin are not restricted, but the price is a little more expensive. A bowl of three-fresh dumplings costs two yuan and hexagonal foreign exchange coupons, which is one-tenth of the monthly salary of ordinary people at that time.
When I took the bus to CCTV, I could see the crowds of people coming and going, and there were many energetic figures.
However, because he is dressed backward, it is difficult to make Han Jin stunning. He just feels fresh and plain.
As Chen Ming entered the CCTV building, he saw that a floor had been occupied by actors, and the valley was full of people. The beauty, ugly and beautiful mother made Han Jin a little dazzled.
When I arrived at Studio 1, I saw Director Huang Yihe directing the rehearsal.
Han Jin was surprised to find that the six hosts standing on the stage were really old faces he was familiar with, including Zhao Zhongxiang, Wang Gang, Jiang Kun, Liu Xiaoqing, and two female hosts. He couldn't recognize them.
"Mr. Han, it's so early!" Feng Yuecun first saw Han Jin, and hurriedly came forward and said with a smile.
"Mr. Feng, you guys are early enough." Han Jin smiled.
"Yes, the Spring Festival is coming soon. We must step up preparations and strive to present a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner to the people of the whole country. 1,w◎ww..." Feng Yuecun said with a smile.
"It's so good." Han Jin smiled.
"Director Huang is still busy now, so why not sit down and wait a while." Feng Yuecun said again.
Han Jin nodded, found a seat with Chen Ming and sat down, and watched the performance on stage curiously.
I have to say that in the 1980s, CCTV's studio was really simple, and hardware facilities such as lighting and stage design were not good. The entire studio was about 150 square meters, and it was Amitabha Buddha who could accommodate two or three hundred viewers.
The stage is also pitiful. Not to mention Han Jin's concert, even compared with TVB's "Happy Tonight" studio, it is still a bit worse. Not to mention the Spring Festival Gala stage twenty years later.
However, although the hardware facilities are not complete, they are obviously much better in terms of "software" than in twenty years.
Twenty years later, Han Jin basically stopped paying attention to the Spring Festival Gala. It was full of lies, empty words, and clichés. Whether it was songs, sketches, crosstalk, etc., it was not good, not good-looking, or funny.
Although the Spring Festival Gala stage, sound, light and stage design effects at that time were definitely comparable to the world's advanced level, there was a lack of touching content. There was a saying to describe it, "Beautiful means beautiful. There is no soul!"
The Spring Festival Gala in 1986 did not have so many rules and regulations. This one was not allowed to be spoken, the one was not allowed to be sung, sketches, and crosstalk criticized the current problems. The songs were also in line with the people's hearts. There were not so many vulgar hymns, so it was quite easy to watch.
Han Jin and Chen Ming sat in the audience and watched seriously. From time to time, they applauded the performances on the stage.
The first program of this Spring Festival Gala is a song sing. From the current perspective, the cast can definitely be regarded as unprecedented luxury.
Jiang Daxian, Cheng Fangyuan, Zheng Xulan, Yu Junjian, Dong Wenhua... and the most powerful Mother of the Nation are among them. When Han Jin saw her appear on the stage, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
After the song was sung, Huang Yihe was discussing with the director team of the Spring Festival Gala to see if he could make any adjustments, but he saw Han Jin at a glance.
Huang Yihe was also a little surprised to see him coming so early.
He received Hong Kong stars such as Lo Wen and Wang Mingquan last year. Although they also cooperated with their work, they had a common problem that they got up late and usually only needed ten o'clock to meet people.
Unexpectedly, Han Jin arrived at eight o'clock, which was really good.
"Mr. Han. Good morning. I'm so sorry. I was too busy just now and I didn't have time to greet you." Huang Yihe came over and said with a smile.
"You're welcome, Director Huang, I don't mind." Han Jin waved his hand with a smile.
"Thank you. By the way, Mr. Han thinks how about our first show?" Huang Yihe asked with a smile again.
"Very good, whether it's singing or a person!" Han Jin nodded with a smile.
Huang Yihe also smiled, "Is there any place that needs improvement? Mr. Han, you are a singer from Hong Kong. Give us some professional advice."
"Uh..." Han Jin was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "There is no professional opinion. In terms of majors, the mainland is actually far stronger than Hong Kong. How dare I show off my skills? It's just a little immature suggestions."
"Oh, please say it." Huang Yihe said quickly.
"That's right. I just listened to a few songs and found that they were all sung in Mandarin. Of course, it is easier to attract northern audiences, but can you take a little care of the southern audience and add one or two Cantonese songs?" Han Jin asked with a smile.
When Huang Yihe heard him say this, he was stunned. He had never thought about this problem.
As Han Jin said, the first ten songs are really not suitable for southern audiences. The most local song "Blacking the Woodcutter" is only on the Yangtze River.
"Mr. Han's opinion was very good, but we were negligent." Huang Yihe said, "I will discuss with Taiwan whether to add a Cantonese song."
"Okay, if possible, I will take it as my choice." Han Jin said with a smile.
"Thank you." Huang Yihe smiled, "By the way, I will introduce several hosts to you."
Han Jin nodded, followed Huang Yihe, and came to the six hosts.
"Mr. Han, let me introduce you to the host of this year's Spring Festival Gala." Huang Yihe said, and then introduced him one by one.
Only then did Han Jin know that the two female hosts, one was Fang Shu, who played the role of Xiao Luobo in the movie "Eternal Life in the Fire", and last year played Chen Bailu in "Sunrise" and won the Best Actress Award for the Hundred Flowers Award; the other was Gu Yongfei, who starred in "Thunderstorm" and played Lu Shiping, who just won the Best Actress Award for the Golden Rooster Award last year.
"Hello, hello..." Han Jin shook hands with them one by one. These are all amazing people.
Not to mention anything else, can there be ordinary people who can make an appearance on CCTV Spring Festival Gala?
Not to mention that people appear on stage, they don’t even have the qualifications to enter this studio to be an audience member.
The six hosts couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they saw Han Jin so young.
In their opinion, if you have no hair on your mouth and don’t do things well, you must be in your thirties to be called a “singer”. What should you ask such a young child to come here to do? If something goes wrong during the performance, who can bear this responsibility?!
"Director Huang, did we hire the wrong person?" Jiang Kun asked in surprise. No matter how he looked at Han Jin, he didn't look like a good singer. He was so young.
Last year, Luo Wen was good. He was in his thirties or forties. He had a steady typhoon and rich experience. He didn't have to worry about letting him perform on stage. But this Han Jin was too young. If he was too nervous and had a wrong performance when he was on stage, it was not a joke.
The last Spring Festival Gala was not done well, so CCTV wanted to apologize to the people of the whole country in "News Broadcast". At that time, it was really a threat to everyone and everyone was beating him. If something goes wrong again this time, I am afraid that none of them, such as the hosts, will escape the relationship.
"No. This Mr. Han is very powerful." Huang Yihe said. He had read some information about Han Jin. To be honest, he was really scared. He achieved such high results at such a young age, let alone in Hong Kong, even in the mainland.
"Is that right?" Jiang Kun looked at Han Jin, but still couldn't let it go.
"Mr. Han looks so young. How old is this year?" Zhao Zhongxiang asked with a smile.
"It's just twenty years old after the New Year." Han Jin replied with a smile.
"Wow!" The six hosts couldn't help but say in surprise. I didn't expect that I was so young.
"Hey, he speaks Mandarin very standard." Wang Gang muttered in surprise.
Everyone present also looked at him in surprise. He really didn't expect a young man from Hong Kong to speak so well that he didn't even have any Hong Kong and Taiwan accents at all.
This is not the first time Han Jin has surprised people, he just smiled.
"Okay, you guys are right in line first, don't always have other people's accents." Huang Yihe was worried that Han Jin was uncomfortable, and hurriedly said, "Come on, Mr. Han, you come to meet our mainland singers too."
"Okay." Han Jin nodded, and was then introduced by Huang Yihe to meet other singers.
"This Hong Kong man is really too young." Gu Xianfei said in surprise.
"Yes, I don't know if I can do it at such a young age." Jiang Kun said worriedly.
"Xiaoqing, you have been to Hong Kong before. Have you ever heard of this person in Hong Kong?" Wang Gang asked curiously.
Liu Xiaoqing is no match for them. In 1983, she collaborated with Hong Kong director Li Hanxiang to film "The Old Summer Palace" and was nominated for Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards. She is now the most popular female actress in mainland China.
"I just went there for a few days in 1983. How could I know so many stars?" Liu Xiaoqing waved his hand.
In the 1980s, it was not easy for mainlanders to go to Hong Kong. Even a big star like Liu Xiaoqing had to pass several levels to go abroad, and it was not possible to go out casually.
"Oh, I hope he can do it. We can't stand it anymore." Jiang Kun said.
Last year's Spring Festival Gala was too big for reform, and it turned out to be a mess, which made the entire program team of the Spring Festival Gala faced criticism from thousands of people. If they messed up this time, they would really make a big mistake.
...
At this time, Han Jin was led by Huang Yihe to meet the singers who had just performed.
Jiang Daqi, Yu Junjian, Dong Wenhua, Cheng Fangyuan, and the largest brand of the mother of the country...
Han Jin met them one by one and was fortunate to shake hands with the mother of the country, which made him a little excited.
"Mr. Han is a singer from Hong Kong." Huang Yihe introduced him, which immediately attracted the attention of all the singers present.
"I'm just singing popular songs and I dare not compete with all singers." Han Jin said modestly.
All the singers present are all the best in the domestic music scene. They not only have a high status, but also have great strength. They are all people who can be called singers.
Although Han Jin has good singing skills, he is still not as good as these professionals. Singers like these, standing on the stage, without any amplification equipment, can even clearly hear the fourth floor when they open, and they don’t have such skills. Of course, these singers cannot compare with him in terms of commercial appeal, which is called having a specialty in profession.
Seeing that he was so humble, all the singers present couldn't help laughing.
"Mr. Han, don't be too humble. In fact, you are also very powerful." Huang Yihe said with a smile.
"It's just a little fictional reputation, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Han Jin waved his hand and said.
"Okay, let's talk first. I'll ask the station for instructions to see if I want to add another Cantonese song." Huang Yihe said, and then left hurriedly.
After he left, all the singers present looked at Han Jin and were curious about the young Hong Kong people. To them, Hong Kong was like another world, and Han Jin was like an alien.
In the 1980s, the mainland was closed and communication was not smooth.
Han Jin has become popular all over the world now, but almost no one knows him in the mainland.
One cold and one hot, it was like a world of ice and fire, which made Han Jin himself feel very moved.
