Since its official launch in 1983, the Spring Festival Gala has been rooted in traditional Chinese culture and has become a must-have program for hundreds of millions of families to celebrate the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and the annual Spring Festival Gala has begun. On February 4, CCTV’s Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala completed its fourth dress rehearsal.
A number of artists including Hu Ge, Tang Yan, Liu Shishi, Xin Zhilei, Su Youpeng, Wei Daxun, 0713 Reemployment Men's Group, Zhou Shen, etc. appeared in the CCTV studio building, and the rehearsal footage of martial arts, opera and other programs was also released.
With the end of the fourth rehearsal, the media also exposed the host lineup of the main venue of the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala, and this news quickly became a hot search topic. It can be seen that the host lineup of the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala is also the focus of everyone's attention.
It is worth noting that the official account of the Spring Festival Gala also released a behind-the-scenes footage of the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal that night. In the video, the three hosts, Nigmaiti , Ma Fanshu, and Ren Luyu, interacted closely with the cast and crew backstage. The three of them also taught each other Northeastern dialect, and finally joined the actors to wish netizens New Year's greetings.
This 4-minute video is full of useful information, and also reveals the host lineup of the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala from the side. If nothing unexpected happens, Nigmaiti, Ma Fanshu and Ren Luyu will 100% appear in the host lineup.
Careful netizens will find that in fact, the official account of CCTV also released a video earlier, which exposed the information of the Spring Festival Gala host early. In the video, five hosts, Sa Beining , Ren Luyu, Long Yang, Nigmaiti and Ma Fanshu, worked hard to promote the event, and the background of the interview happened to be the 2024 Spring Festival Gala.
Ren Luyu, Ma Fanshu, Nigmaiti, and Long Yang appeared in the two press conferences held by CCTV’s Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala. Together, these information basically determined the final five-person host lineup of Long Yang’s Spring Festival Gala—Ren Luyu, Sa Benin, Nigmat, Mafanshu, Longyang.
For many people who are familiar with the Spring Festival Gala, this lineup is expected. Compared with last year’s Spring Festival Gala, the only change is that the name Wang Jianing is missing from the main venue.
Wang Jianing won the silver medal in the "2019 Host Competition". He has solid basic skills, strong adaptability, and can handle all tracks. After the competition, he successfully joined CCTV, with all resources in full bloom, and finally got the opportunity to host the Spring Festival Gala.
Wang Jianing did not get the opportunity to host the Spring Festival Gala consecutively. Like Yin Song and Zhang Shuyue, he briefly appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage. As for whether he will have the opportunity to host the branch venue, it is still unknown.
Regrettably, none of the outstanding contestants in the "2023 Host Contest" that netizens have longed for received the opportunity to host the main venue of the Spring Festival Gala. Compared with the contestants of "2019 Host Competition", Yang Xu, Liu Xinyue, Zhang Huixin, Zhang Liangjing, Feng Lin and others are destined to have regrets.
Being on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is an unattainable dream for some hosts, but for some it seems extremely easy.
html Ren Luyu in 2077, Sa Beining in 1976, and Nigmaiti in 1983 are all old faces in the Spring Festival Gala. Ma Fanshu in 1993 and Long Yang in 1989 are relatively new hosts on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
Ren Luyu has hosted 8 Spring Festival Galas, including one sub-venue. Since 2018, he has never missed the Spring Festival Gala stage, and now he has become a mainstay, an out-and-out C position.
Ren Luyu was born with a CCTV face, and his hosting style is majestic and steady. He can dominate large-scale live broadcast parties. When he appears, the audience can be brought into the atmosphere of a large-scale party in an instant. On the 2021 CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage, Ren Luyu filled the dark 2 minutes of the entire evening party. His excellent hosting skills were remembered by everyone, and he is indeed indispensable on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
Sa Beining has hosted the Spring Festival Gala for 6 times. Although he is not a professional, his hosting style is unique, sincere and down-to-earth, and he can switch freely between solemn and humorous. Sa Beining can contribute to hot topics every year and is an indispensable scenery on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Nigmat stood out from the "Happy Dictionary" program and gradually grew up on the variety show channel. He has hosted the Spring Festival Gala for 9 times and is very senior among the hosts. Nigmat's style is also very close to the people, and the dialogue he hosts has a strong sense of dialogue, and the people also like him very much.
Long Yang’s advancement in CCTV is indeed the envy of many people. From a newcomer on the financial channel, he has gradually grown into the face of the comprehensive channel, and he can also make occasional guest appearances on the agriculture, rural areas, sports and other channels.
Long Yang appeared on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time in 2021. Since then, he has completed a magnificent turn, taking over from Dong Qing to host the "Chinese Poetry Conference". He has displayed his talents in many cultural programs and will appear on the Spring Festival Gala again in 2023. On stage, her status among CCTV female hosts is also getting higher and higher.
Ma Fanshu is well-known for hosting the "World Football" program on CCTV Sports Channel. Her beautiful appearance and lively style are her advantages.
Ma Fanshu began to rise to prominence in 2022, went straight to the Spring Festival Gala stage and was remembered by audiences across the country, and will continue to be reused in 2023. In CCTV's large-scale evening parties, Ma Fanshu had more and more opportunities to appear, and even surpassed Long Yang in the limelight. If he continues to perform steadily this year, Ma Fanshu is expected to become the face of the team in the future.
Judging from the official highlights of the Spring Festival Gala, Ma Fanshu is also the absolute protagonist, and the topic also revolves around him. She also admitted that she was under a lot of pressure, and Nigmaiti constantly encouraged her and asked her to learn Baduanjin to relieve her pressure.
CCTV's Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala has four branch venues in Shenyang, Liaoning, Changsha, Hunan, Xi'an, Shaanxi, and Kashgar, Xinjiang. Which hosts will appear is also the focus of everyone's attention.
According to past practice, there are usually two hosts in each major branch venue, one from CCTV and one from the local station.
CCTV currently does not have many candidates for the sub-venue. Yang Fan, Wang Jianing, Zhang Shuyue, Zhu Xun, Ma Yue and others are all good candidates. The network has currently exposed a list of sub-venue hosts, and many of the messages have been continuously confirmed, and their authenticity is becoming more and more reliable.
The hosts of the Changsha branch were revealed to be Zhang Shuyue and He Jiong. Related Reuters videos and photos also appeared on the Internet. The credibility is very high. This combination is also in line with public expectations.
He Jiong is a pillar of Hunan Satellite TV and the best choice to host the Changsha branch. Some netizens revealed that He Jiong and Sa Beining were connected during rehearsals a few days ago. One was at the main venue and the other was at the branch venue. The news of the "Double North" merging also raised expectations.
He Jiong and Sa Beining are both famous celebrities. They graduated from prestigious schools in Beijing (Beijing Foreign Languages Continental and Peking University). They have great chemistry as partners in variety shows, so they are also praised by netizens as the "Double North" combination. It has been three years since the two hosted the same stage. If the "Double North" can really connect on the Spring Festival Gala stage, the hotly searched scene has already been booked.
The host of the Shenyang branch is most likely Yang Fan. He has appeared in Shenyang recently and claimed that "Taiyuan Street has welcomed another melancholy uncle." Yang Fan has served as the host of the Spring Festival Gala branch venues many times, and he is familiar with it. However, the biggest regret in his career should be that he did not appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala main venue.
Who will Liaoning TV send to partner Yang Fan? Liu Xinyue’s voice was the loudest. She won the silver medal in the "2023 Host Competition" and her outstanding performance also conquered everyone. Liu Xinyue herself is the leading actress of Liaoning Satellite TV and can support the facade of large-scale evening parties. She herself also retweeted the updates from the official Spring Festival Gala account, so her chances of being featured in the sub-venue are very high.
The host of the Kashgar branch will most likely be the host Ma Yue.He has posted his own updates, showing that he is on a business trip in Xinjiang and mingling with local people.
It is rumored online that the host of the Xi'an branch is Zhu Xun, but no Reuters photos of the rehearsal have leaked yet. For Zhu Xun, the main venue of the Spring Festival Gala is no longer so attractive. He has won all the honors he should get. There are also good players in the branch venues. The pressure is not that great and he is still in his comfort zone.
Do you have anything to say about the CCTV Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala hosting lineup?
