It has become a habit for the whole family to sit together and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
2024 The Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala has attracted much attention since the original creative team was announced. Who is the hosting team, what language programs are there, what new faces will appear, and what the topic of the show is, etc., are all the focus of attention of netizens.
As time goes by, the mysterious veil of the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala is unveiled layer by layer. According to Reuters from the rehearsal, Nigmaiti and Long Yang have appeared in the old CCTV building. Together with Ren Luyu, who is the host of the Spring Festival Gala, at least three people have been confirmed in the hosting team.
Nigmaiti is an old acquaintance of the Spring Festival Gala host. Long Yang has hosted the Spring Festival Gala twice before, in 2021 and 2023. Long Yang is now becoming more and more important on CCTV. He has successfully gained recognition on multiple channels such as comprehensive, financial, variety, sports, and music channels. He has hosted cultural programs such as "Chinese Poetry Conference", "Chinese Calligraphy Conference", and "China National Treasure Conference". It has been widely praised, and if nothing else goes wrong, she will also appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the third time.
Ma Fanshu and Ren Luyu previously hosted a press conference at the Spring Festival Gala branch venue. This also sent a signal that Ma Fanshu may also occupy a spot as host of the Spring Festival Gala. As for the remaining two hosting spots, Sa Beining and the contestants of the "2023 Host Competition" all have the opportunity to appear.
In addition to the gradually clear host lineup, the guest lineup of the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala has also gradually emerged. htmlOn November 15, the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala completed its first makeup rehearsal, and many celebrities appeared at the rehearsal.

This guest list has both surprises and regrets. Careful netizens will find that the number of professional singers in the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala has increased significantly, including Mao Buyi, Zhang Jie, Wang Sulong, Ku Juji, Zhou Shen, Shan Yichun, Wei Chen and other singers. Professional matters are left to professionals, and the appearance of singers will definitely support the appearance of song and dance programs. We also look forward to the Spring Festival Gala to see a hit song like "It's a Mother, It's a Daughter" again.
The stage of the Spring Festival Gala has always been the dream of singer Liu Yuning. Although he has appeared on the stage of the online Spring Festival Gala and the Lantern Festival Gala, he has always missed the Spring Festival Gala.
Liu Yuning has been taking one step at a time over the years, and is finally seen in the entertainment industry. With the blessing of a hit drama last year, Liu Yuning finally got an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala. Appearing in a coat and bracelet, Liu Yuning looked particularly aura among the crowd. We look forward to his dream coming true.
Audiences who are familiar with the 0713 Re-employed boy group should know very well that "Spring Festival Gala memes" are often mentioned by them in the program. Cai Guoqing also really wants to take them to the Spring Festival Gala. When he was a guest on "Happy Friends", Cai Guoqing specially gave them meanings. Extraordinary gift - bowl. It is a pity that except for Wang Zhengliang, who has appeared in the Spring Festival Gala twice, the other five good brothers in the team have never had the opportunity to appear.
"Welcome to the Mushroom House" allowed them to successfully re-employ, "Happy Start Again" and "Happy Friends" made them completely out of the circle, and "Brother Overcoming All Troubles" allowed the audience to see their stage power. After the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala project was launched, many fans called on the director team to allow the 0713 Re-employed boy group to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. The director team also heard the calls of netizens. They complied with public opinion and finally gave the re-employed boy group a chance, hoping that they could really stand on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
For many people, the Spring Festival Gala is an unattainable dream, and putting in a lot of effort does not necessarily mean you will get the opportunity. But for some people, it is extremely easy to be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Singers such as Zhang Jie, Zhou Shen, Wang Sulong, Mao Buyi, William Chan, Su Youpeng and other singers are all "old faces" of the Spring Festival Gala.
In 2013, the Spring Festival Gala director team sent formal invitations to the three contestant singers, Zhang Liangying, Zhang Jie, and Lin Youjia, and also started the ice-breaking journey of the draft singers on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
Zhang Jie made his first appearance on the Spring Festival Gala stage in 2013. The song "Give Me Your Love" due to singer Lin Youjia was well received, and he has since become a guest on the Spring Festival Gala stage. In 2016, he sang the song "The Glowing Era" solo, in 2017 he sang the song "Fireworks in the City", in 2019 he sang the song "The Distance of Time", and in 2021 he sang the song "Relatives" which he participated in the production of.
If Zhang Jie can participate in the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala, this will also be his sixth Spring Festival Gala trip. Compared with other talent show singers, Zhang Jie is indeed favored by CCTV.
In 2021, Zhou Shen appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. The song "China in the Lights" sung by him and Zhang Ye quickly became popular and later became a well-known hit song. In 2023, Zhou Shen once again appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage to perform his personal single "Flowers Bloom and Forget Worry", which still received praise from netizens.
Zhou Shen, who spoke of Guotai Minan as soon as he opened his mouth, is obviously more in line with the temperament of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. It was expected that he would be invited again and participate in the rehearsal.
Throughout the past Spring Festival Gala guests, comedians such as Zhao Benshan, Feng Gong, Pan Changjiang, and Cai Ming were nicknamed by netizens as "Spring Festival Gala thorns". With the retirement of these comedians, the "Spring Festival Gala thorns" have also changed. tfboys, Guan Xiaotong, William Chan, Zhang Jie and others are on the list.
During the first rehearsal of the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala, William Chan, one of the "nail house", also appeared in the public eye. His pigtail style was very cool, which immediately aroused the expectations of netizens.
William Chan made his debut on the Spring Festival Gala in 2017, singing the song "Love You for Ten Thousand Years" with Lu Han, and has been out of control since then. William Chan participated in five consecutive Spring Festival Galas in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. Having attended the Spring Festival Gala 6 times, he is undoubtedly the most popular representative among Hong Kong and Taiwan artists. He is also a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala, second only to the sketch actors in appearance rate.
Among the lineup participating in the first rehearsal of the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala, actors accounted for a large proportion, including Huang Bo, Huang Xuan, Yang Mi, Wei Daxun, Zeng Shunxi, Xin Zhilei, Mao Xiaotong, Bai Jingting, Zhang Ruonan, Song Jia, Wang Yang, etc.
Wei Daxun, Zeng Shunxi, Xin Zhilei, Wang Yang and others have had hit dramas in the past year. Being invited by the director team is also an affirmation of their performances and works. However, cross-border participation of actors in the Spring Festival Gala is often a double-edged sword. Some people successfully break out of the industry, but others cause considerable controversy.
Affected by the Mayday incident, netizens are now very concerned about whether the party performances are all on-mic. For large-scale live broadcasts such as the Spring Festival Gala, it is indeed difficult for actors to have all-on-mic. Once the actors choose half-on-mic or lip-synching, they will inevitably triggered a large-scale heated discussion.
In addition to singing cross-border songs, sketch programs are the type of programs they often participate in. Judging from the overall feedback on language programs in recent years, there are not many successful cases of actors crossing over, and the shadow left by "First Meeting Photo Studio" on the audience is still lingering. For actors who cross-border and perform sketches this year, they have to bear greater pressure, and the editor is also worried about them.
In the first Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue participated. Their cross talk is also an indispensable appetizer for the Spring Festival Gala. Outstanding contestants of the "Annual Comedy Competition" Lu Yan, Jiang Shimeng, Zhang Chi and others also appeared. Their performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage is worth looking forward to.
It is worth noting that magician Liu Qian appeared in the first lineup. In 2009 and 2010, Liu Qian appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage twice in a row. His performances of magic tricks "Magic Hand Magic" and "Kingli Chang" won the first prize for the audience's favorite program "Folk Arts, Other Categories". He also became a hit on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Become popular.
Liu Qian returned to the Spring Festival Gala stage in 2019, and the magic he performed is still a favorite among the audience. After many years, Liu Qian once again appeared in the Spring Festival Gala. Many netizens called him "Ye Qing Hui". His program was also full of expectations. Liu Qian is back to perform magic, and netizens also hope that the director team can bring back Liu Qian's magic talent.
The first rehearsal of the entire Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala. The biggest Easter egg is not the artists who appeared, but the panda breeder "Grandpa Tan" Tan Jintao and the railway worker "Shadow Boss" Liu Ying.
The Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala launched the "Spring Festival Gala Waiting for You" project for the first time, inviting news figures in life to sit in the Spring Festival Gala auditorium. "Grandpa Tan" and "The Movie Boss" appeared in the first gala. This approach of the director team also It was unanimously recognized by netizens.
