CCTV's Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala is coming soon, and the program team is undergoing intense snake review work. The highly anticipated language program lineup has triggered dissatisfaction and controversy among netizens.
Recently, people including Sha Yi, Jia Bing, Liu Tianchi, Ma Xudong, Zhang Ruonan, Jiang Shimeng, Bai Ge and others appeared in the old CCTV building, but netizens were not satisfied with the list.
Earlier, Yue Yunpeng was also photographed appearing at the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala review. Although his old partner Sun Yue did not show up, there is a high probability that they are still partners. After all, the Spring Festival Gala will definitely have a cross talk program, and the two of them have already He is a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala and is currently one of the partners with the highest national popularity.
Based on the comments from netizens, there are two reasons why everyone is dissatisfied with the currently exposed language program lineup.
Firstly, professional things should be done by professional people. The reason why
's language programs in the early years were highly praised and can still be passed down to this day is because Ma Ji, Jiang Kun, Chen Peisi, Zhu Shimao, Zhao Benshan, Song Dandan, Wei Wei, Feng Gong, Huang Hong and others are all professionals.
But today’s Spring Festival Gala has seen an influx of more and more non-professional film and television actors, including some popular artists with their own traffic, such as Xiao Zhan, Yang Zi, Xie Na, Qin Lan, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Ruoyun, etc.
Among the actors exposed this year, Sha Yi, Zhang Ruonan, and Bai Ge are all actors. Although Jia Bing is a professional comedian, his reputation in the Spring Festival Gala has been bad, especially the much-discussed "making dumplings and smashing them together" ".
Last year's sketch "First Meeting in the Photo Studio" was extremely embarrassing. I didn't expect that one of the participants, Ma Xudong, would be invited again this year. I wonder if there is someone behind him? The Spring Festival Gala program team has never seen the overwhelming negative reviews online.
Secondly, the Spring Festival Gala language programs increasingly tend to “educate” the audience.
Netizens believe that in recent years, the Spring Festival Gala sketch programs seem to have paid more and more attention to the educational significance, while ignoring the essence of comedy. The greatest charm of the Spring Festival Gala sketches is to bring joy to the audience, rather than inciting emotions or teaching education. storyline.
Take last year's two badly criticized programs as an example. "Snowy Dumpling Love" and "First Meeting Photo Studio" don't have many laughs, but their sensational and educational significance is obvious. Unfortunately, a large number of viewers don't like this. , it’s hard for the audience to be “fooled” nowadays.
As the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is broadcast live simultaneously on national satellite TV stations, language programs are a top priority. What should be its significance? Zhao Benshan, the recognized king of sketches, has already told the truth.
Zhao Benshan said: The biggest theme of the Spring Festival Gala sketch is happiness. That piece cannot educate people, nothing else. The audience spends 365 days a year in education. Is it useful to educate them with a sketch in one night?
In addition to Zhao Benshan, his apprentice Xiao Shenyang also explained in "I Am an Actor" why he stopped acting in sketches. He said that the sketches now have "a happy ending but a happy ending" and he doesn't like it.
Xiao Shenyang once became popular all over China with "Not Short of Money", and he became famous overnight in a literal sense. If he is willing, he can actually continue to shine on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and even compete with his brothers and mentor Zhao Benshan status in the Spring Festival Gala, but unfortunately today’s Spring Festival Gala has “changed”.
After so many years, the audience's expectations for the actors in the Spring Festival Gala's language programs are still highest among Zhao Benshan, Song Dandan, Fan Wei, Chen Peisi, Zhu Shimao and others, but everyone knows that it is impossible.
Nowadays, Zhao Benshan is almost in a semi-retired state. He finally starred in the TV series "Legend of the Magpie Sword". It was originally promoted as the leading star, but in fact he still provided supporting roles for his apprentices.
His daughter Qiuqiu has just given birth recently. Zhao Benshan has to be a grandfather and take care of his grandson. Not to mention the Spring Festival Gala, whether he can participate in "Legend of the Magpie Sword 2" is still up in the air.
Song Dandan would rather frequently participate in variety shows than participate in the Spring Festival Gala, saying frankly that the Spring Festival Gala is too tiring; Chen Peisi still insists on creating dramas, but at the age of 70, he spends more time with his family, and it is impossible for the older generation of sketch actors to return to the Spring Festival Gala. .
There are currently four regular guests in the Spring Festival Gala skits with good reputations, namely Shen Teng, Ma Li, Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei. However, these four have not yet appeared in the review of the language programs of the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala.
If the Spring Festival Gala program team cannot even show such a lineup and sincerity, then there is a high probability that it will still encounter waves of complaints this year. It is no wonder that some netizens would rather rewatch previous classic sketches on the night of New Year’s Eve.
Of course, in the end, I still hope that the Spring Festival Gala can find a balance between tradition and innovation, so that the audience can spend a happy New Year's Eve night with laughter.
