The seating arrangements at the Spring Festival Gala are also very particular. The round table seats in the front row are undoubtedly prepared for those distinguished guests. As you go to the back row, although there may be differences in status, every audience member is equally worthy of respect.
For this grand performance, the staff behind the scenes have made great efforts. The Spring Festival Gala program team is well aware of their hard work, so they specially set aside a place for them. Although these locations are relatively back, the care is enough to make the staff feel warm.
What is more worth mentioning is the humanistic consideration of the program team. Not only did they invite the family members of the staff to watch the Spring Festival Gala, they also carefully arranged interactive sessions so that these behind-the-scenes heroes could also share in the joy of the Spring Festival Gala.
However, viewers attending the Spring Festival Gala must also abide by certain rules. Regardless of their position, they must obey the arrangements of the program team. Give loud applause when applause is called for, and be quiet when silence is called for. This is because the Spring Festival Gala is broadcast live, and any slight chaos may affect audiences across the country.
The selection criteria for Spring Festival Gala audiences have always attracted much attention. Some netizens hope that there will be more opportunities for ordinary audiences to come to the scene and feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala. However, due to the special nature of the Spring Festival Gala and the limitations of the venue, it is not easy to realize this wish.
Zhao Benshan once said in an interview: "The audiences who can go to the Spring Festival Gala are not simple. Most of them are people who have contributed to society." His words revealed the particularity of the Spring Festival Gala audience.
Seat Mystery: Who sits in the front row and who becomes the center of attention?
The seating arrangement on the Spring Festival Gala stage is not as simple as just sitting around. Behind them, the entertainment industry’s human sophistication, strength competition and audience preferences are hidden.
Imagine that you are sitting in the front row of the Spring Festival Gala. The perspective and treatment are simply not good! Not only can you experience the wonderful performances on the stage up close, but you can also interact with the host in real time. You might become an internet celebrity tomorrow. Who wouldn’t want this kind of opportunity to show their face?
But it is not so easy to sit in the front row. The Spring Festival Gala program team has to go through some careful consideration when arranging seats. Like seasoned chefs, they have to properly combine various "ingredients" to make a "meal" that satisfies the audience.
Now, netizens know the Spring Festival Gala routines very well. Everyone knows which star is going to perform what show, which one is an old face, and which one is a new traffic niche. But, so what if you know? Everyone still loves to watch the Spring Festival Gala, after all, they can see their favorite stars!
The Spring Festival Gala program team also knows this very well, so they will arrange some popular celebrities next to the round table. In this way, the attention of young viewers will naturally be attracted. The ratings, of course, are going up!
But having said that, we can’t just cater to the tastes of young people. There is also a part of the audience, they don’t come to watch the Spring Festival Gala just to chase stars. What they value more is the positive energy conveyed by the Spring Festival Gala and those who have made significant contributions to the country. Therefore, the Spring Festival Gala program team must also take this into consideration when arranging seats, and place big names and entrepreneurs in various fields in the front row.
This not only highlights their importance to the country but also meets the taste needs of different audiences. I have to say that the Spring Festival Gala program team has really put a lot of effort into the seating arrangement!
