Chapter 32 Zhengda Theater

Many, many years ago, on a spring Sunday, when I was 14 years old, I rode bicycles to a distant place with my classmates. At one o'clock in the noon, we started to rush home, and at 3:30, we rushed home separately. .I put the bike aside and quickly turned on the TV. Fortunately, it hadn't started yet—it was April 21, 1990, the first day of "Zhengda Variety Show".We know about it because news of its imminent launch and selection of a host has been in the newspapers for a long time. Eighteen years later, I also remember its process because I have revisited it countless times and memorized it by heart. Before the start of "Zhengda Variety Show", there was an advertisement for Big Bubble Gum and "Doraemon". Units and individuals are not allowed to use without permission, and violations must be investigated.” At 16:00, "News Five Minutes", at 16:10, "Zhengda Variety Show" begins, and the golden words "Zhengda Variety Show" are in that paragraph The familiar music flipped and then froze in the middle of the screen.

The first hosts were Jiang Kun and Yang Lan. They could always change the host words every time, and cleverly embedded "If you don't see it, you don't know it, the world is wonderful". The host of "The World Is Wonderful" is Li Xiuyuan.The CP Group's advertisements are interspersed, with green vegetable farms, a big rooster with a red crown, and the song "Dedication of Love" by Weng Qianyu on the screen.At 17:10, "Zhengda Theater" began, and it ended before 18:30, because it was later.All of this is so "new", including Yang Lan's temperament, which was rare among hosts at the time, Li Xiuyuan's soft and gentle tone, and the exquisite picture and clarity of Chia Tai Group's advertisements, all of which have never been seen before.

But the most memorable one is "Zhengda Theater".No matter how long it has been, I still remember that the first TV series aired in "Zhengda Theater" was "Brave Lion", and there was a monologue between the hero and heroine at the beginning, Vincent first: "This is a place ruled by powerful people. world, her world; very different from mine..." And then Catherine: "He came from a mysterious place... Now, wherever I go, I have him in my heart. Our relationship is more important than friendship. Or love is stronger. Though we cannot live together, we will never, never be apart."

Movies or TV series that can appear in "Zhengda Theater" must be warm and clear, and most of them will have a happy ending, which can be watched by the whole family with peace of mind. "Golden Rose Cave", "The Long Road to Homecoming", " Around the World in Eighty Days, Youth and the Magic Lamp,,, Blood and Tears of the Lone Star, Little Monster, The Golden Violin, The Woman in White, The Philadelphia Experiment, The Floss on the Floss "The Mill", "Golden Pond"... so many people recalled those years, and always put all the bright movies in their memory under the name of "Zhengda Theater".

Wang Jiazhi recalled the feeling of being with Lao Yi: "Every time I am with Lao Yi, it is like taking a hot bath, washing away all the stagnation, because everything has a purpose." "Zhengda Variety Show" and "Zhengda "Theater" gives ordinary people a purpose in their busy week...the sunshine on Sunday afternoon, shining in from the window, and on the TV screen, one warm story after another...Thirty years after 1978, it occupies the After eighteen years, it has given the most nutrition to all the Chinese who are not yet rich and have not many choices. I am not surprised that it can become the variety show with the longest broadcast time and the largest number of broadcasts on CCTV.

Its original audience has begun to recall.Baidu's "Zhengda Variety Show" bar and Douban's "Zhengda Variety Show" group were flooded with inquiries: "Does anyone remember the story of an alien and a little boy?" What's the name of the movie that kind people give Christmas presents?" "What's the story about a girl from a poor family who keeps company with a girl from a rich family?" What’s the name of the film in a picnic basket?” After eighteen years of stirring and confusion, the memory has become a bit unrecognizable, and we are still discussing and verifying whether Catherine is really writing for the novel at the end of "The Brave Lion". Did Senter die in childbirth, or is it just the impression that legend has given us?

are no longer testable.What can be described with certainty is only a clear and warm color in memory.And that period of time has been mixed with our inquiries, and with the beeping sound of telegrams, it has been transmitted to the dark universe, and what is hidden inside is our love and nostalgia.
