The 2024 Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and CCTV Spring Festival Gala is also in full preparation. With the leakage of Reuters photos of the rehearsal of the 2024 China Central Radio and Television Station Spring Festival Gala, the audience's attention to the Spring Festival Gala is also increasing day by day.
Recently, the media who have been waiting at the door of China Central Television for a long time finally saw some of the celebrities participating in the first rehearsal of the 2024 China Central Radio and Television Station Spring Festival Gala. Most of the stars who appeared were language actors, including well-known artists such as Jia Bing, Ma Xudong, Jiang Shimeng, and Zhang Ruonan.
Zhang Ruonan was bare-faced and dressed casually as she greeted everyone cordially. Comedian Jia Bing has a big boss aura, and his humorous sketches are deeply loved by the audience.
Ma Xudong, who had an outstanding performance in "First Meeting Photo Studio" last year, will appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage again this year. Comedian Jiang Shimeng, who has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala twice, also made a low-key appearance at the rehearsal.
Regarding the exposed celebrities, netizens also have different opinions on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2024, but they basically look forward to "something fun to watch during the Chinese New Year."
01 Don’t be sensational, just be happy
The reason why audiences are less and less looking forward to the China Central Radio and Television Station Spring Festival Gala is that the Spring Festival Gala no longer has the same flavor as before.
In the past, what people across the country were most looking forward to on New Year’s Eve was not only to sit together as a family and have a reunion dinner, but also to finish cleaning up early and sit in front of the TV to wait for the Spring Festival Gala to start on the hour.
At that time, the Spring Festival Gala gave the audience the impression that it was a must-have entertainment program for the Spring Festival that was happy, warm, and naturally expressing emotions. Nowadays, the audience would rather watch electronic mustard than watch the China Central Radio and Television Station Spring Festival Gala. The contrived, preachy, and sensational Spring Festival Gala routine made the audience feel awkward.
Chinese New Year is purely about having fun and finding happiness. But in the past ten years, the Spring Festival Gala has always started with a sermon. Either the parent-child relationship must be handled well, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must be handled well, or the relationship between colleagues must be handled well. Netizens impatiently called it "the first religion of the New Year."
It is a serious topic originally. In order to create laughter, it is forced to be funny in a joke, which makes the audience feel even more boring. Previous Spring Festival Gala skits always made people look forward to it, because first of all, the theme was unexpected by the audience, and secondly, it was funny.
Therefore, many netizens expressed their hope to see powerful partners such as Zhao Benshan, Song Dandan, Shen Teng, and Ma Li on the Spring Festival Gala to once again bring laugh-out-loud skits to the audience. The two pairs of
work well together. Their works are not sensational, but they are full of jokes but also thought-provoking. This kind of program that doesn't make fun of jokes is the classic program that the audience wants to see.
02 Nailed households boycotted
Over the years, CCTV Spring Festival Gala has had the tradition of Nailed Households. Some of these Nailed Household celebrities have created Spring Festival Gala legends and left behind popular and excellent works. Some have become the targets of "disdain" from netizens.
actors Sun Tao and Jia Bing are old faces that netizens don’t want to see again. Sun Tao, who first stood on the Spring Festival Gala stage in 1995, has never been absent for 17 years.
Sun Tao's face, which looks like he has taken preservatives, appears frequently in works with few changes, causing the audience to feel aesthetic fatigue. His "I'm proud" line once became a classic line in the Spring Festival Gala, but now it has become a point of criticism from the audience.
The problem that makes Jia Bing boring to the audience is his constant "making dumplings and smashing them" ending joke. The tough guy image in "Hurry" allows the audience to see his powerful acting skills that subvert the Spring Festival Gala. However, I don't know whether it is the requirements of the Spring Festival Gala or the limitations of the sketch script. Jia Bing on the Spring Festival Gala stage always "changes the soup without changing the medicine" every year. , the audience gradually became dissatisfied.
In addition, Cai Ming, who has always pretended to be young, was also voted as the nail in the Spring Festival Gala boycott by netizens. The "pretending to be young" mode that obviously does not match the age can still make the audience laugh at first, but after watching it a few times, it becomes monotonous and contrived.
With the development of the short video era, funny jokes and videos are flooding the entire Internet, and the audience is in short supply of jokes.As a traditional Spring Festival program, the Spring Festival Gala has the advantage of inheriting traditional culture, which cannot be replaced by short videos.
For the Spring Festival Gala to become an evergreen tree, it needs works that combine the times with tradition, so that short videos on the Internet can draw the spirit of the Spring Festival Gala and re-create it, instead of creating Spring Festival Gala works based on hot memes on the Internet.
