After the show, Zhou Cong, the leader of the Zhejiang Wu Opera team, revealed to reporters the new changes in this year's Wu Opera performance, that is, the kicking performance was shown for the first time. Guns and other actions. It turns out that because the CCTV Spring Festival Gala uses a glass floor and a lifting device, even if the actors only do somersaults on it, there is still a certain risk, and actions such as kicking guns are more likely to make mistakes, which brings increased uncertainty and challenges. , so similar actions have never appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage in previous years. In Zhou Cong's view, the final decision of the director team of this year's Spring Festival Gala to include these actions is also a recognition and trust of the good team spirit, professionalism and superb skills of the actors that the Zhewu team has shown in the Spring Festival Gala many times.
In recent years, opera programs have received more and more attention and popularity. Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao also said that as young opera actors, it was a great honor to be on the same stage with so many seniors and to come to this stage that people across the country are paying close attention to. It is all the opera-loving audiences who put themselves on this stage, and we hope to fulfill everyone’s expectations and better show the youthful Yue Opera.
