这年春晚红了一首歌，就是《常回家看看》。而依照当年大红大紫的央视访谈类节目《实话实说》为原型，创作的小品《昨天今天明天》也成为了众多观众心目中最好的春晚小品之一。崔永元、赵本山、宋丹丹联手，“笑果”惊人。此后，CCTV有不少著名的“招牌节目”纷纷被改造为春晚小品。这也算是春晚的一个创新点。那一年的春晚服装在搭配上出新奇，晚礼服配唐装这种中西合璧的搭配方式，必将引领流行趋势。1999年前后，电影《泰坦尼克号》超级红火。在小品《老将出马》里就有一张超大的背景：巩汉林和金珠摆着轮船上男女主角的经典姿态，但是却站在一辆拖拉机上！简直是图片恶搞的鼻祖。

This film is about haunting memories of Asia's late 20th-century modernization. The story departs from a 1965 United States embargo on the hair trade, known as the "Communist Hair Ban". Yet, in every wig resides a ghost from the imperial past.Wigs were vital for the rise of the Asian economy in the post-war era. In the heyday of the 1960s, it was the number four export in Hong Kong's export-orientated industrialization. Between Mao's China - the largest source of hair supplies, and the insatiable Western market, Hong Kong functioned as the gateway. In 1965, U.S. Treasury Department imposed an embargo on "Asiatic hair", to cut off foreign currency to Communist China in the hair trade. The highly racialized category of "Asiatic hair" was later revised as "communist hair", to enable the wig industry to develop in U.S. allies including mainly South Korea and Japan, which led to a significant reconfiguration of light industry in East Asia. Departing from the moment of the communist hair ban, through stories of movement, diaspora and migration, this project examines the role of Hong Kong as a transient space that mediates and sanitizes the connection between different worlds, and the relationship between U.S. Imperialism and East Asia order in the Cold War era.Produced by: Ruoyao Jane YaoDirector of Photography: Yavuz Selim IslerCameraman (Hong Kong): Fai WanSound Recording: Franco van der LindeCasting Director: Sai-wang LauMakeup: Ika KartikaColor Grading: Bob LemmVoice-over:Jia Zhao, Hamza Junaid, Tommy TseCast:Zoenie Liwen Deng, Ruoyao Jane Yao, Zoe Tang, Michael de Ross, Sidney Vereycken, Sai-wang Lau, Jo-Lene OngProduced by:Geodesic Studio, Vines FilmsThanks toWAAG Society, Amsterdam16mm Film Transfer and ScanningAndec Filmtechnik, Berlin
