When the bell of the Spring Festival Gala is about to ring again, the world's attention is focused on this cultural feast intertwined with tradition and modernity. The cast is naturally one of the focuses, but what people are even more talking about is whether the Spring Festival Gala comedy can usher in new changes.
I have to say that the Spring Festival Gala has taken great pains to use Internet hot words in its attempts in recent years.
Such efforts are undoubtedly intended to bring the audience closer to the younger generation. But unfortunately, this "superficial effort" seems to have failed to really impress young people. What they long for is laughter that is closer to their own lives and comedic expressions that can resonate.
Zhao Benshan and the Spring Festival Gala: Twelve years apart, we are already outsiders again
When the New Year's Eve bell rings and thousands of houses are brightly lit, do you still remember the "Uncle Benshan" who brought us countless laughter on the Spring Festival Gala stage? "? It has been 12 years since Zhao Benshan made his last appearance at the Spring Festival Gala. Whenever the New Year approaches, there is always a group of people who cherish nostalgia for the past and look forward to Zhao Benshan once again appearing on that familiar stage.
However, reality is always cruel. Despite our repeated calls, Uncle Benshan seems determined to "draw a clear line" with the Spring Festival Gala. He once made an affectionate promise: He will continue to perform as long as the audience needs it. But why did he choose to turn around and leave on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala?
Perhaps, the answer lies in his aging figure.
Time is not forgiving, and Uncle Benshan has entered the twilight years of his life. At 66 years old, his body is no longer young and cannot withstand the high-intensity and high-pressure rehearsals and performances of the Spring Festival Gala. He knows that instead of failing on stage, it is better to leave the best memories to the audience and let himself enjoy his old age behind the scenes.
In addition, there is an insurmountable gap between Uncle Motoyama’s creative philosophy and style and the current environment. His works that are full of local flavor and close to people's lives seem a bit "out of place" on today's Spring Festival Gala stage. The Spring Festival Gala's time limit and various rules and regulations have invisibly restricted his creative hands and feet, preventing him from fully displaying his talents.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, Uncle Benshan resolutely chose to withdraw from the Spring Festival Gala stage. He left this opportunity to the young and promising generations to continue to inherit and carry forward China's excellent traditional culture on this stage. As for himself, he was finally able to let go of his burden, return to his family, and enjoy the rare happiness of a family relationship.

But only she can understand the pressure behind it. Before every live broadcast, she would be so nervous and worried about any accidents on the stage. This kind of pressure became more and more overwhelming to her as she grew older.

And Song Dandan chose to withdraw from the Spring Festival Gala stage at this age, leaving more time for his family. She once missed the growth of her children because of her work. Now, she wants to make up for those lost time and start to truly enjoy life. The decision of

Their works make people laugh and feel the charm of sketches.

For Fan Wei and Zhao Benshan, every time they go on stage is a huge challenge. Not only do they have to face the risk of the show being canceled, they also have to bear the pressure from their partners and themselves.

When Chen Peisi’s name disappeared from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, countless sketch lovers left a scar of regret in their hearts. But this artist's choice demonstrates his character and persistence.
Back in 1999, Chen Peisi accidentally discovered that his Spring Festival Gala works had been illegally copied into CDs and circulated in the market.
After some investigation, he was shocked to find that the initiator behind the incident was actually a television company affiliated with CCTV. Faced with such infringement, Chen Peisi decided to stand up and defend his rights.
Although Chen Peisi won the lawsuit in the end, the price was a complete break with CCTV. The door to the Spring Festival Gala has been tightly closed for him.
Many people are confused and think that Chen Peisi ruined his bright future in the Spring Festival Gala for a small gain. Such a choice is really stupid.
However, for Chen Peisi, this is not about money, but about the artist's integrity and dignity. He once said firmly in an interview: "I don't want future generations to laugh at me and make me angry. I am a person who accepts power."
This sentence expresses his inner persistence and perseverance.

The "absent" superstar on the Spring Festival Gala stage: Jet Li and Jacky Cheung's low-key choice
For Jet Li, the high-profile atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala is incompatible with his low-key personality. He once said frankly in an interview: "I think going to the Spring Festival Gala is too high-profile. I don't want to be in such limelight." Although the Spring Festival Gala program team extended an olive branch many times and even promised to give him one minute to promote charity, Jet Li Still firmly refused.
He knows that his fame is big enough and he does not need to use the Spring Festival Gala to increase his presence. What's more, he prefers to devote his energy to charity causes that he loves rather than showing off on the stage.
For Jacky Cheung, family is his most important harbor.
Whenever the Spring Festival Gala program team extended an invitation to him, he always declined on the grounds that he "had to go home to spend the New Year with his family." In his heart, nothing is more important than spending the Spring Festival with his family. He knows that his fans are looking forward to seeing him on the Spring Festival Gala stage, but for him, his family's happiness and reunion are his biggest wishes. Therefore, he would rather give up the Spring Festival Gala stage and return home to spend quality time with his family.
The choice behind the Spring Festival Gala stage: Chow Yun-fat and Dao Lang's different paths
For Chow Yun-fat, the Spring Festival Gala stage does not seem to be within his sight. Won the Best Actor five times, his name and strength have already transcended the boundaries of the Spring Festival Gala. When asked why he had never appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, he mentioned "family" lightly.
For this superstar who has gained both fame and fortune, during the special moment of the Spring Festival, he prefers to put aside the prosperity of the entertainment industry, return to his family, and enjoy the ordinary and real happiness.
And Daolang, this musical talent, has also been invited to the Spring Festival Gala. But three invitations and three rejections, he stuck to his original intention of music. Daolang said frankly that he loves to create and sing freely and does not like to be bound by competitions and performances.
In the wave of commercialization, he chose to keep a low profile and try not to participate in commercial activities to maintain the purity of music. Although the Spring Festival Gala stage was a huge temptation for him, he still chose to refuse.
The choices of these two superstars allow us to see another side of the entertainment industry. In this industry full of competition and temptation, they stick to their inner pursuit and happiness in their own way. Perhaps for them, the Spring Festival Gala stage is not the only criterion for measuring success. In front of family and music, they chose something more precious.
Now, the popularity of "Rakshasa Sea" has once again pushed Daolang to the forefront. Fans have begun to imagine whether they can see him in this year's Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala? And will Chow Yun-fat change his mind at some point and appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala? These suspense make us full of expectations for the Spring Festival Gala.
