Chapter 366 367【I have a task for you】
Winning the Mao Dun Literature Award, for Xiang Nan, is not just a certificate, a trophy and a bonus.
??More importantly, he was recognized by the mainstream of mainland literary circles and thus received a gold medal to avoid death.
From now on, if anyone dares to say that he is a secular scholar or a degenerate scholar, he can take out this gold medal.
"Come on, let''s compete. I have the Mao Dun Literature Award, what do you have?" One sentence can choke the other person to death.
…
Hang Nan has made a remarkable achievement by winning the Mao Dun Literary Award, the top award in the mainland literary world.
Therefore, when the awards were given at the end of the year, Xiang Nan once again won the second-class personal merit in recognition of his outstanding contributions in literary and artistic creation.
And he was promoted from the regimental level to the deputy division level. The salary increased from 141 yuan per month to 177 yuan. Other benefits, allowances, and treatments have also been improved accordingly.
?However, Xiang Nan is now a civil servant. Although his position has been promoted, the power in his hands has not changed. Compared to when I was the leader of a cultural troupe before, my power is actually much weaker.
The only person he can command and move now is himself.
Originally, as a deputy division level cadre, he also received a nanny allowance. And with his income and household situation, it would be enough to hire a nanny.
But Xiaoping was so fed up with the nanny that she had a psychological shadow and firmly refused to hire a nanny, so now the two of them do the eating, washing, and cleaning by themselves.
…
Enter 1983.
In January, while Xiang Nan was working on his creation at home, a phone call from the General Political Department called him back to the regiment.
“Old Deng, what do you want from me?” Xiang Nan asked curiously.
"Xiao Liu, it''s like this. There is a task I want to give you in the regiment." Deng Wenwu quickly reassured, "CCTV is preparing to hold a cultural evening during the Spring Festival and needs some programs. Of course our general administration cannot fall behind, so I hope you can Put some effort into it.”
"Yes, Comrade Liu Feng, we all know that you are a famous talent, so you must help." Another comrade who looked a little strange also smiled at Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan was stunned and blurted out, "CCTV is holding a Spring Festival Gala?!"
“Spring Festival Gala?! That’s a good name. It’s much nicer than the ‘CCTV Staff New Year Gala’.” The unfamiliar comrade nodded with a smile.
“…” Xiang Nan blinked, was it me who could give the name “Spring Festival Gala”? !
“How is Liu Feng? Do you have the confidence to complete the task?” Deng Wenwu asked.
“There is no shirking the responsibility.” Xiang Nan nodded and said, “Since the task is entrusted to me, I will definitely complete it.”
“That’s good, I know I have found the wrong person.” Deng Wenwu clapped his hands and smiled.
…
After Xiang Nan returned home, he quickly completed the work.
A week later, he returned to the General Administration and took out three songs he had written.
The first song "Unforgettable Tonight", this song has been played on the Spring Festival Gala stage almost every year since the second Spring Festival Gala. It can be said that he is the strongest anchor in the Spring Festival Gala.
The second song "Love Me China". "Fifty-six constellations, fifty-six flowers, fifty-six tribes of brothers and sisters are one family..." This song is perfect to sing during the Spring Festival party.
The third song "Three Hundred and Sixty-five Blessings". "There are three hundred and sixty-five sunrises in a year, and I send you three hundred and sixty-five blessings..." At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed. On this day, singing such a joyful song is just right for the joy and peace of the Spring Festival Gala. atmosphere.
So after reading these three songs, Deng Wenwu was very satisfied.
"Okay, Liu Feng, you are really immortal." He smiled and nodded, "You wrote three good songs in one week. Okay, that''s really good." "Old Deng, I am not old to begin with." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you are satisfied."
…
Half a month later, Xiaoping suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
?Going to the hospital for a checkup, Xiang Nan was very pleased with the results. It turned out that after his hard work, Xiaoping was finally pregnant.
Shen Bowen was also very happy to learn about this. And immediately told Xiaoping what to do as a person who had experienced it.
?Xiaoping was quite happy at first, but when he did this, she became nervous.
?After his wife became pregnant, Xiang Nan basically stopped all social activities outside and concentrated on serving his daughter-in-law at home.
?His behavior surprised Wang Xie, Ye Jing and others.
Because of Xiang Nan’s current status, wealth, and fame, there are so many young girls willing to work with him that it’s no problem to switch to two in a day. But he still loves his wife so much, is loyal and unswerving, which they really can''t understand.
?But even though they couldn''t figure it out, they still admired Xiang Nan, an infatuated man. They can''t be so dedicated.
“Brother Liu is indeed Brother Liu. He is capable of what others cannot and endures what others cannot tolerate. He can endure so many beautiful girls crying and wanting to follow him. No wonder he can achieve great things.”
“I used to think that love and love were all nonsense. How could a man only love one person for the rest of his life? But Brother Liu really taught me a lesson. There is such a thing as love in this world.”
…
In a few days, it will be New Year’s Eve.
On New Year’s Eve, Xiang Nan and Xiaoping watched the Spring Festival Gala in front of the TV.
To be honest, this was Xiang Nan’s first time watching the Spring Festival Gala in 1983, and I found it more interesting than later ones.
The artist''s state is relatively relaxed and comfortable, just like a student attending a class party. They are all on stage and off stage, so they are not restricted at all.
Unlike later generations, the nervousness of the artists can be seen to the naked eye, fearing that they will make mistakes. They were in a tense state, they didn''t look like laughing when they were smiling, and they didn''t feel like crying when they were crying, which made the audience feel awkward for them.
Secondly, censorship standards were not strict at that time, so the content of the programs was more extensive and the scale was wider, so they sounded more interesting.
Although Xiang Nan did not participate in the entire Spring Festival Gala, he was the one who showed up the most.
In this Spring Festival Gala, not only did he sing his "Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Blessings", "Love My China", and "Unforgettable Tonight", but also "Blood-Stained Style", "Loyalty to the Country", "In the Field of Hope" "", "Where the Peach Blossoms Bloom", "The Song of Peonies" and so on.
?This Spring Festival Gala used a total of fifteen songs, and Xiang Nan participated in the creation of more than half of the songs. This ratio can be said to be quite astonishing.
Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the door. Anyway, everyone who knew about this was shocked and speechless.
…
After the Spring Festival, Xiang Nan buys vegetables and cooks every day, and stays with Xiaoping at home.
?? Xiaoping was so pampered by him that she never felt tired or suffered at all, and she was as happy as if she were in heaven every day.
?However, she was not without worries. "Comrade Liu, what should I do if I want to give birth to a girl?" she asked worriedly.
Last September, the country officially designated family planning as a basic national policy. Both of them are cadres and party members, so they should set an example and insist on having only one child.
But in that case, if it were a girl, Xiang Nan would have no chance of succeeding.
