The countdown to the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala has begun! The
program no longer gritted its teeth and kept its secrets, and various news began to come out intermittently and cryptically.
The director of the Spring Festival Gala has not changed, it is still the female director in 2023. The host of
has not changed, Sa Beining is still the boss, and both Ren Luyu and Long Yang are being re-elected.
At first glance, there is no change. So, is it the same when it is applied to the program? What is it looking for is safety?
Then, it may be beyond your expectation...
For the Spring Festival Gala teams in previous years, many netizens shouted from the bottom of their hearts: is in this era, let’s get some fresh products!
So, in 2023, the youngest Spring Festival Gala director in history- Yu Lei appeared.
It is said that Yu Lei is young, but her qualifications are not young. She wrote "Extraordinary 6+1" and "National Treasure".
Moreover, since 2012, she has been the chief writer and designer of the Spring Festival Gala for four consecutive years. She has long been the backbone of the Spring Festival Gala. Pushing her up is just a matter of course.
But there is little hope of using her to innovate. Judging from the 2023 Spring Festival Gala, although there are no major problems with the Spring Festival Gala directed by her, her vision in the selection of programs is very average. At least, it’s not on the same train of thought as the audience’s level of appreciation and expectations.
Although this has something to do with the abilities of the artists, there is really no trace of a "young" director who is too conservative, perhaps because of many concerns.
There is no doubt about Yu Lei's talent. Just look at the quality of "National Treasure". It’s just that there is a difference between making old programs and making new ones. New programs are innovations in themselves and can be adjusted if they are not well done. However, for old programs like the Spring Festival Gala, the big framework has been finalized and the style is basically trivial. It is impossible to make major changes to
, and small adjustments require ingenuity. In the past few years, directors have always adopted a safe approach, and the themes have reflected the characteristics of the times. But unfortunately, the old actors in have left the scene one after another, and newcomers have The unstoppable formation suddenly widened the gap in the audience's hearts, and no matter how safe it was, it was no longer safe.
I still have hope that Yu Lei can be re-elected. After all, if you expect an old director to change the show, a young director knows better how to put in effort to make the show look new.
If the Spring Festival Gala is to be held successfully, it depends on the director behind the scenes and the host in front of the scenes.
The host's professionalism and adaptability, as well as whether the audience likes the host's image, are another key to the success of the Spring Festival Gala.
Under normal circumstances, the Spring Festival Gala will have experienced hosts in succession, and this year is no surprise. Sa Beining is an all-round host, and his hosting can be regarded as a textbook level.
Ren Luyu also participated last year. His performance is very stable and his appearance is elegant. Standing on the CCTV stage, his energy is indeed worth watching.
It is worth mentioning that Ren Luyu’s on-the-spot reaction ability is outstanding.
In 2021, it was about to reach midnight, but there was a one-minute error in the progress. At this time, Ren Luyu was not in a hurry, raised the microphone five times, and output a series of blessings, allowing the audience to experience the ability of the host to speak out.
's divine rescue is always talked about no matter when.
Do you remember the "Three Minutes of Darkness" in 2007? The six hosts failed to save the scene in turn, and the scene was very embarrassing. You know how difficult it is to save the scene.
In addition to Ren Luyu, the host of the Spring Festival Gala who has been re-elected is Long Yang. Long Yang is not as famous as Ren Luyu, and her qualifications are not as high as his. However, she is known as "Little Dongqing" in the hearts of the audience. It can be seen that she is also a host recognized by the audience.
The emergence of Long Yang actually means that CCTV is actively absorbing different faces. It is no wonder that the times are moving forward, and we cannot always just use a few old hosts who are at the bottom of the box. We still need to change our tastes. Well.
Part of the program for the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala has leaked out. Generally speaking, anything related to the character dragon is expected to be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
For example, celebrities with dragons in their names, etc. There is no doubt that Jackie Chan will appear, Zhu Yilong will also appear, and even the national football player Ma Long is one of them.
's method of selecting people can be described as a bit "old school".
Of course, there is something you can’t think of. The person who played the Dragon King back then is also here. The main theme is a gathering of dragon energy! I don’t know, what kind of appearance does the Dragon King look like? Now that the Dragon King is on the stage, do you want to find a place for the Third Prince? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for the Dragon King and his family to be reunited?
In addition, the selection of programs also follows the keyword "dragon", such as the opera "Dragon Playing with the Phoenix", the cross talk "Dragon in the Year of the Dragon", the poetry recitation "Dragon Fu" and so on.
Speaking of which, "New Dragon Inn", which was once clamored by netizens to appear on the Spring Festival Gala, can seize the opportunity! Director
's idea of unifying the theme, although not unique, is still trying hard to express new ideas. But for the audience, in order to watch a program, the program must be good-looking.
Nowadays, the audience has appeared in several age groups. If you want to take into account all groups, you can only hope to blend the old and the new. As long as you blend it well, it is an innovation.
Especially in sketches, if it shows reality, even if the story is not brilliant, at least it will not be heartbreaking. Isn’t it a joy for the audience to picture?
I really miss the scene of the family watching the Spring Festival Gala on the Reunion Eve. In front of me are piles of snacks and fruits. In the warm room, the whole family dressed in brand new clothes, together with the Spring Festival Gala, are waiting for the roar of thousands of guns at midnight.
How beautiful the Spring Festival Gala was back then! As soon as the host announced the start, the whole family was beaming with joy.
The older generation will still talk about which host was here last year but not this year, and which host has never been seen before. Even the names on the screen have to be read.
I watch every program carefully. There are singers, and my parents hum along a few times. There were dancers, and my mother and grandma commented on how nice the clothes were and how beautiful the dancers were. When it was the singer's turn, grandpa listened attentively to the end...
still remembers that every time a child performed, the family would sigh that this child was so successful that he could attend the Spring Festival Gala at such a young age.
At that time, being able to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala was enough to prove in our hearts that he was a very powerful person.
Of course, when it comes to a show that the whole family likes, it is still a sketch. The sketches in those years were all unexpectedly good-looking, and even the illiterate grandma laughed until she burst into tears.
But I don’t know when it started. Even the red envelopes given out during the Spring Festival Gala failed to arouse everyone’s enthusiasm, and they also expressed indifference to the group eve. .
The inherited excitement and lingering sentiments seem to be slowly disappearing as the quality of the Spring Festival Gala declines.
What a pity! I really want to keep this excitement and restart it.
This year’s Spring Festival Gala will be different, right? Expect it to be different!
