On February 14th, the rehearsal ended.
There are only two days left before New Year's Eve, and the lights in the main station's studio should be blindingly bright.
I curled up on the sofa and scrolled through my phone. The line-by-line drafts on the screen mentioned Li Jian singing "Human Resonance" and also mentioned that Faye Wong's voice was still so clear and ethereal. The description was really great, and there was no flaw in the official rhetoric.
I don’t know why, but as I looked at it, I suddenly thought of my mother.
During the New Year's Eve dinner last year, she insisted on letting me look at the photos saved on her mobile phone, one by one, moving very slowly. She said, look, these are the firecrackers you set off at the door of your hometown when you were three years old.
In fact, the photo has long been blurred.
What are you watching during the Spring Festival Gala?
Every year, people say that the Spring Festival Gala is not good to watch and boring.
Every New Year's Eve of that year, everyone still turns on the TV, even if it is just as a sound in the background. It seems that if such a sound is missing, the dumplings will not have that delicious taste, and the New Year will not be like an orthodox New Year at all.
I took a quick look at this year's program. Aaron Kwok will dance with Wang Yibo, and Cai Ming will return again. This time I heard that she will perform a sketch with a robot. Exactly thirty years have passed since the first time she played a robot in the Spring Festival Gala.
Thirty years.
It can support a child to grow up to adulthood, support a young person to enter old age, support countless families, and move from living in a bungalow to a building, and wandering from his hometown to a foreign land.
Harbin is cold and Yiwu is hot
Four locations were selected for the branch venues.
In Harbin, which is 30 degrees below zero and covered with ice and snow, the "Hot Chinese Year" will be staged. A college classmate is from Harbin. He told me that during the Chinese New Year when he was a child, frozen pears had to be put in water to slow down. The window looked white and the room was warm. That kind of warmth was baked by the radiator, and it was also created by the human heart.
Yiwu has become a branch venue. The place where chicken feathers were exchanged for sugar is now filled with unintelligible words on the streets. There are businessmen from the Middle East and African merchants who will not go back during the New Year and will spend the Chinese New Year in Yiwu.
The director of the branch meeting had to let the audience hear the sound of the rattle during his sermon, and that sound was the first sound in Yiwu.
The first things are often the easiest to forget.
Come and be safe
Ren Suxi and Mao Buyi will sing "Goodbye and You're Well".
These four words are so good.
It's not the "hello" that people usually say, nor the common "long time no see", but the unique "you are well." The so-called "well" means that there is no pain, no disaster, a stable and safe state.
In recent years, everyone seems to have understood that the word "safe and sound" is more important than anything else.
On New Year's Eve, if you are sitting next to the person you long to see, if you can still hold their hand, if someone else replies to your "Happy New Year", if you are alone in the field, you can still receive sausages sent from home -.
Then you are a blessed person.
What can a robot do as a sketch person?
The most controversial thing this year is robots.
There were a large number of robots on the stage, some dancing, some performing sketches, and some interacting with celebrities. On the Internet, some people asserted that it must be so cool that it must be amazing, which clearly reflects China's technological strength.
Some people also say that it is boring and even has no human flavor.
I read those comments and laughed for a long time. Then suddenly I couldn't laugh anymore.
Because I am thinking, if one day, robots are really capable of doing anything, then what are we sitting here watching?
Are you going to see the technology, the excitement, or the things that are stuck in the gaps in the program and that machines can never learn?
For example, in Cai Ming's skit, the grandmother looked at her grandson.
For example, the moment Faye Wong opened her mouth, some people's eyes suddenly became hot.
For example, when John Legend sang an English song, your dad couldn't understand it, but he nodded along with the rhythm, and you secretly recorded it.
Why watch the Spring Festival Gala?
A friend said that the Spring Festival Gala is a container.
Pretend to be those times you can’t go back to, people you can’t see, and words you can’t say.
The Anhui branch venue in Hefei will perform Huangmei opera, as well as technology. Quantum information and fusion energy will be put on the stage. Sichuan, where Yibin is located, will stage the Yangtze River, the water that keeps flowing until it never returns.
Just say it over and over again, and what eventually settles into everyone's heart may be just a sung phrase, a figure leaving backwards, or even the fireworks that light up for an instant outside the window when the clock starts to ring zero.
This year there is a song called "The Moment You and I Experience", sung by Faye Wong.
A moment that you and I experience.
What a great song title.
Tomorrow night at eight o'clock
February 16th, 8pm.
That night, there will be a large number of windows with lights on. Some of the windows have a large family inside, while some windows have only one person inside.
But at that moment, we were all doing the same thing.
Facing the TV, looking forward to a song, looking forward to a place that can make people laugh, looking forward to the countdown to zero, looking forward to the host who always wears red clothes to say -.
"Happy New Year, audience friends."
And then really, it’s another year.
After writing this, I put down my phone and called my mother.
Mom, have you bought anything for the New Year?
She said she bought it, and bought all the food you like.
Her busy voice reached my ears on the other end of the phone. In an instant, I had a feeling that whether or not to rehearse the Spring Festival Gala was actually not that important.
The important thing is that someone is still waiting for you to come home for dinner.
