CCTV Spring Festival Gala is a stage with very strong star-making ability, and one or two stars can always be popular every year.
And this year's quota is probably not necessary for the 28-year-old host Ma Fanshu, which can be described as an overnight red all over the country.
In the past 40 years, under the witness of more than a billion people, many stars have been born on the Stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
On this stage where exposure has peaked, many people have become popular overnight on it, and they have become household names.
And these people can become popular overnight, is the choice of the audience, is the charm of the Spring Festival Gala stage, but also the "sharpness" of the Spring Festival Gala vision, you have to serve!
01. Zhang Mingmin: The Chinese heart that burns all over the land of China
At the second Spring Festival Gala in 1984, a song "My Chinese Heart" resounded throughout the country.
"Although the dress is worn on the body, my heart is still the heart of China."
After the sincere lyrics accompanied by Lang Lang's catchy melody were introduced to thousands of households, the patriotic feelings of Chinese people at home and abroad were ignited, and the singer of the song and Hong Kong singer Zhang Mingmin also became popular throughout the country.
But before the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Mingmin was actually not a professional singer.
Due to the difficulty of gaining a foothold in the peak of the Hong Kong music scene, he had already changed his career to work as an electronics factory worker.
It was huang Yihe, the director of the Spring Festival Gala, who overheard "My Chinese Heart" on the Hong Kong bus and ran to the electronics factory to find Zhang Mingmin, who changed his fate.
With the active promotion of Huang Yihe, Zhang Mingmin unexpectedly became the first Hong Kong singer to perform at the Spring Festival Gala.
And with the song "I am the heart of China" spread throughout the north and south of the river, Zhang Mingmin, who is "unknown", also achieved an overnight hit.
In that era of keen correspondence, Zhang Mingmin became a "unilateral pen pal" for countless audiences.
After Zhang Mingmin returned to Work in Hong Kong, many viewers sent all the letters to the CCTV headquarters without his address.
To this end, CCTV could only send people on a business trip to Hong Kong with a sack and a sack to bring a letter to Zhang Mingmin, which also showed Zhang Mingmin's high popularity at that time.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Mingmin did not return to the show business circle after the Spring Festival Gala became popular, but chose to go on in the business world
In the more than 30 years of business that followed, he also grew from a former electronics factory employee to a director of a biotechnology company.
Although most of the time away from the public eye, Zhang Mingmin's "Chinese heart" has never changed.
On the eve of the 1990 Asian Games, he sold his house and returned to the mainland for a tour, and donated all 600,000 yuan of the proceeds from the charity performance to the organizing committee.
During the epidemic in 2020, he was over 60 years old and not only participated in the recording of the song "Believe in Love Will Win" on CCTV, but also independently created another anti-epidemic song "We Can", encouraging people in the epidemic with his songs.
Obviously, what has changed is time, and what has not changed is Zhang Mingmin's patriotic heart.
02, Chen Peisi: the king of the first generation of sketches who pioneered the genre
In the Spring Festival Gala in 1984, Zhang Mingmin became popular overnight in the singing industry, and Chen Peisi became a hit in the music and art world.
At the Spring Festival Gala that year, Bayi Studio actor Chen Peisi and partner Zhu Shimao won the full house with the skit "Eating Noodles".
In the sketch, Chen Peisi plays Chen Xiao'er, an actor who constantly remakes eating noodles, and bursts into laughter during his very comedic "eating noodles".
With his outstanding performances, Chen Peisi successfully teased the national audience on Chinese New Year's Eve night and became a well-known comedy star.
In fact, during the rehearsal process, "Eat Noodles" was repeatedly rejected for "the theme is too unserious", until Chinese New Year's Eve the afternoon of the same day was not approved.
It was the Spring Festival Gala director Huang Yihe who tried to keep the program at the last moment, and only then did he have the first sketch in the true sense of the Spring Festival Gala, and only then did he have Chen Peisi's popularity.
Since becoming popular with "EatIng Noodles" in 1984, the Spring Festival Gala has also entered the era of being brushed by Chen Peisi.
In the following ten years, Chen Peisi and his partner Zhu Shimao appeared on the Spring Festival Gala a total of 12 times, contributing a number of classic sketches including "Protagonist and Supporting Role" and "Policeman and Thief".
With a high-quality performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage for more than ten years, Chen Peisi has become the deserved king of the first generation of sketches.
It is worth mentioning that it is the emergence of the Chen Peisi/Zhu Shimao partnership that makes the sketch a separate subject and is included in the textbooks of major colleges and universities. In a sense, they are the pioneers of the genre of sketches.
After performing on the Spring Festival Gala stage for many years, Chen Peisi finally took the initiative to leave this stage before the new century.
After performing the sketch "Wang Ye and Chincha" in 1998, due to differences in ideas, Chen Peisi and his partner Zhu Shimao faded out of the Spring Festival Gala.
To this day, the two have not appeared at the Spring Festival Gala for 24 years.
In the more than twenty years after leaving the Spring Festival Gala, Chen Peisi is still deeply rooted in the comedy industry.
He not only founded a drama comedy class, but also wrote and directed a number of plays, and his work "Balcony" was selected for the drama textbook.
In May 2021, Chen Peisi also joined the CCTV variety show "Gold Medal Comedy Class" to continue to cultivate talents for Chinese comedy.
With Chen Peisi returning to the CCTV stage after 23 years, whether the 67-year-old can continue the frontier with the Spring Festival Gala has also become a topic of speculation.
03. Fei Xiang: The immortal male god of "one sight mistake for life"
Come, come, "the love enemy of men all over the world" finally came.
At the Spring Festival Gala in 1987, Fei Xiang, a singer from Taiwan, sang on stage, thus entering the vision of the national audience.
At the Spring Festival Gala that year, Fei Xiang performed two songs in succession, "Clouds of the Hometown" and "A Fire in Winter", and the combination of movement and static made him bright.
Under the addition of tall and handsome appearance and handsome face, Fei Xiang perfectly interprets the definition of a prince.
With the swaying and dancing of the red tuxedo, Fei Xiang swayed into the hearts of audiences across the country with his self-created bungee movements, becoming a popular artist of the 80s phenomenon.
After the Spring Festival Gala, Fei Xiang held 65 concerts in 12 cities across the country, and the venues were full.
Under the explosion of popularity, Fei Xiang's concert was even more said at that time:
Everyone who can get out of bed has gone to grab a ticket!
At the peak of his career, Fei Xiang made a very surprising decision.
After 65 concerts, he decided to go to the United States to study musical theater.
In the context of countless fans pulling banners and begging Fei Xiang not to go, Fei Xiang indifferently left a deep farewell:
I came rushed, and you didn't make me feel strange;
You fill the blank pages of my life with enthusiasm. I am ashamed to have left nothing behind, but to take away such a wealth of love...
In the following years, Fei Xiang went to Broadway to develop, and then disappeared from the outside world.
Even if people have crossed the ocean, Fei Xiang's influence has always existed, and at that time, many women even played the slogan of "marrying Fei Xiang" and "to reshape Fei Xiang", which has the illusion of "seeing XX at first sight and mistakenly for life".
From the feedback of some netizens on social media, we can also peek into how popular Fei Xiang, who used to be "regarded as a love enemy by men all over the world", was.
Last year, Fei Xiang, who has been out of the public eye for many years, participated in the movie "Fengshen Trilogy".
After the 59-year-old stills of the King of Lu played by him flowed out, he was on the hot search because of his good figure and appearance, and his posture was still so dashing and elegant.
04. Zhao Lirong: The "Happy Old Lady" of the Spring Festival Gala
In 1988, a 60-year-old lady appeared on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala and cooperated with "Jigong" You Benchang in the sketch "Emergency".
Although the work is not very famous, this old lady with no sketch experience has also begun a wonderful cooperation with the Spring Festival Gala.
And she is Zhao Lirong, who appeared on the Spring Festival Gala eight times in the 80s and 90s.
At the Spring Festival Gala of the second year after acting in "Emergency", Zhao Lirong starred in the sketch "A Day of a Heroic Mother" in a temporary firefighting way.
In the sketch, she plays an old lady who is interviewed for her son's courageous deeds.
In a hurry to go downstairs to buy tofu, the eldest lady used various excuses to shirk and laugh between her interaction with the reporter played by Hou Yaowen.
Although it is a temporary battle, Zhao Lirong brilliantly plays a cute old woman who is confused.
Her and Hou Yaowen's interesting passage of "Sima Cylinder Smashing Cylinder" has become a classic of the Spring Festival Gala, and Zhao Lirong has also become popular throughout the country at the age of 61 because of this work.
In the following years, this old artist who quietly dedicated himself to the drama stage when he was young continued to brush the screen at the Spring Festival Gala with the image of a very joyful Tangshan old lady.
In 1995 and 1996, Zhao Lirong won the first prize of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala Sketch for two consecutive years with the sketch "So Packaged" and "The Adventure of Part-time Work", which overwhelmed the Zhao Benshan/Fan Wei combination.
The classic degree of the above sketches, even just looking at the GIF can make up the sound in the brain...
Although she brought countless joys to the audience on stage, Zhao Lirong suffered silently behind her back and continued to fight lung cancer in the years after her career.
In the 1996 sketch "So Packaged", Zhao Lirong made a mistake on the stage due to unbearable illness, but she still insisted on completing the action and ensuring that the sketch was complete.
After performing "The Veteran Out of the Horse" in 1999, Zhao Lirong bid farewell to the Spring Festival Gala stage and died of lung cancer in 2000 at the age of 72.
Looking back on the Spring Festival Gala career of this "Tangshan old lady", he has contributed 8 sketch department classics in the past 12 years, and this veteran artist has dedicated his life to the stage.
05, Zhao Benshan: The first person to take the first Spring Festival Gala sketch in 12 years
On the Spring Festival Gala stage, the title of King of Sketches is not unique to Chen Peisi, and Uncle Benshan, who created the "Iron Ridge Universe" at the Spring Festival Gala, also deserves this praise.
Zhao Benshan debuted at the Spring Festival Gala in 1990, and before that, as a duo turn actor, he was rejected by the Spring Festival Gala four times.
Under the strong recommendation of Jiang Kun, he did not get the opportunity to attend the Spring Festival Gala until 1990, and officially entered the national audience with the sketch "Blind Date".
And Zhao Benshan, who has accumulated thick and thin hair, does not tighten up on the Spring Festival Gala, and directly comes out of the history of a sketch industry.
In the following years, Zhao Benshan continued to export classic sketches such as "Uncle Niu Tigan" and "Red Sorghum Model Team", and won the first and second prizes in the Spring Festival Gala in the 90s.
After Chen Peisi officially withdrew in 1999, the Spring Festival Gala stage became a stage for Zhao Benshan.
In the following 12 years, Zhao Benshan won the first prize of the Spring Festival Gala sketch for 12 consecutive times, which is also the historical record of the Spring Festival Gala sketch industry.
In 1999's "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow", he let the outside world remember the simple northeast uncle black soil, and also let the outside world "grow insight": the original autumn wave is the autumn spinach.
In the "Trilogy of Selling Abductions" after 2000, he transformed himself into a master of northeastern deception who did not implement his words, so that the outside world understood what "flickering".
Under the impact of one classic sketch after another, Zhao Benshan became the undisputed sketch on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and the Spring Festival Gala in the first decade of the 21st century steadily entered Zhao Benshan's time.
At that time, his sketches were even called "Chinese New Year's Eve gun twisters", and many people would go to set off firecrackers after watching his sketches.
However, unfortunately, after 2012, Zhao Benshan chose to fade out of the Spring Festival Gala due to physical reasons.
Similar to another sketch titan, Chen Peisi, Zhao Benshan, who left the Spring Festival Gala, still plays a residual heat in the field of comedy.
Under his active cultivation of Zhao Jiaban, comedy stars such as Song Xiaobao and Xiao Shenyang have emerged one after another in the past decade or so.
His "Country Love" series is also in its 14th installment, which has now become a national-level comedy of life.
Although there has been no Uncle Benshan in the Spring Festival Gala in the past 10 years, the influence of this generation of comedic masters is still very strong.
06, Liu Qian: The magical magician who went to the Spring Festival Gala in 5 years and 4 years
"What follows is the moment to witness the miracle!"
Hearing these words, did you think of Liu Qian's confused and a little cunning eyes?
In the 2009 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, magician Liu Qian became popular with the program "Magic Hand Divine Color".
That year, Liu Qian changed the traditional magician Gao Leng's long-range performance, but performed the first close-up magic in the history of the Spring Festival Gala in a grounded style.
Using only eggs, cups, rubber bands and other everyday objects, he can conjure up all kinds of magic tricks.
And Liu Qian's extremely brilliant eloquence is a great plus for the performance, resulting in a strong program effect.
With the final "ring" put into the "egg", Liu Qian did not forget to humorously ask the audience for ten seconds of applause.
This performance, which took into account both the professionalism of magic and the effect of the program, also made Liu Qian popular in 2009, and he was even more soft in the following 12 months.
In 2009 alone, he received 13 endorsements and participated in 3 residencies.
In the same year, he also became the first magician in China to hold a large-scale tour, traveling through 27 cities in one year, and the tour scale was no less than that of a popular singer.
Since 2009, Liu Qian has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala four times in the following 5 years, and every year there is a different "Liu Qian-style miracle".
During this time, Liu Qian has entered the Forbes China Celebrity List for 4 consecutive years, and for the relatively unpopular magic industry, magicians like Liu Qian can be described as one of the best.
However, unfortunately, in the context of the decline of the magic boom in recent years, Liu Qian has also encountered some criticism.
In 2019, Liu Qian appeared on the Spring Festival Gala performance program "Magic Pot" after 6 years.
However, due to the excessive expectations of the outside world for Liu Qian's magic and the aesthetic fatigue of magic, Liu Qian's "Magic Pot" performance was generally reverberated.
After the behind-the-scenes video flowed out, more viewers issued a guess that "Liu Qian is changing pots by borrowing places".
This pot change storm even made Liu Qian rarely moved, he not only blogged to deny "changing pots", but also "guaranteed" the technicality of his magic with professional ethics and family life.
In fact, this storm will not affect the outside world's perception of Liu Qian's business ability, but this unpleasantness has also caused Liu Qian to fade out of view in the criticism.
In the past 3 years, Liu Qian has rarely performed at the party, and the familiar Miracle of Liu Qian has also "temporarily" stayed in 2019.
07, Small Shenyang: the peak of the annual income of 400 million "Northeast pure masters"
The 2009 Spring Festival Gala not only won Liu Qian alone, but also won the popularity of a northeastern "pure grandfather" whose painting style was offside.
His Chinese name is Xiao Shenyang, his stage name is Xiao Shenyang, and his English name is:
Silence sheep ~
In Zhao Benshan's 2009 sketch "Not Bad Money", Uncle Benshan deliberately restrained his sharp edge, so that the "Scottish style" waiter played by Xiao Shenyang came out of the limelight.
Whether it is wearing red and green cropped pants that run off, or a very comedic accent and action, Xiao Shenyang refreshes the audience's cognition with the image of atypical pure masters.
With the sense of contrast created by gender deviation, 28-year-old Xiao Shenyang had a great sense of presence in the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the limelight was even no less than that of Uncle Benshan.
Before the Spring Festival Gala, Xiao Shenyang was only a two-person actor who had just studied with Zhao Benshan for 3 years, and the performance fee was even less than 500.
After Zhao Benshan, who was discerning and discerning, brought him to the Spring Festival Gala, Xiao Shenyang did not live up to his master's high expectations and successfully seized the opportunity to become popular overnight.
And his popularity this time is even more popular in 2009.
As mentioned earlier, Liu Qian's tour of 27 cities a year is crazy enough, and Xiao Shenyang is even more magical than this magician, who launched 103 tours in 70 cities across the country in 2009, averaging one every 3 days.
Under the trend of near-fullness, Xiao Shenyang frantically won 400 million (touring) box office data, and his strong ability to absorb money allowed him to parachute into the 30th place in China's Forbes star list (2010).
To this end, the director of the Spring Festival Gala, Lang Kun, also praised the young northeast guy with "Little Shenyang will be comparable to Zhao Benshan in the future".
However, after the peak of 2009, Xiao Shenyang quickly went downhill.
With the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala, Xiao Shenyang broke into the film circle and participated in films such as "The Surprise of the Three Guns Shooting" and "Laughing At the River".
However, acting in a duo and acting in a movie are two different things, and Xiao Shenyang, who is not from a science class, is obviously dissatisfied in the film circle.
In the past ten years, most of the movies in which Xiao Shenyang participated in the film score was less than 5 points, and under the frequent appearance of "bad films", he twice won the Golden Broom Award "Movie Emperor", and gradually destroyed the audience he had accumulated.
On the other hand, in the field of famous sketches, xiao Shenyang, who is popular, has never been able to come up with more brilliant works than "Not Bad Money", and its popularity has also declined off a cliff.
Last year, he simply announced that he would not act in sketches on the grounds that he could no longer write good baggage.
From the explosion of popularity in 2009 to the "active abandonment" in 2021, the ups and downs of Xiao Shenyang in the past 12 years are lamentable.
8, Li Guyi: 78 years old is still on the Spring Festival Gala of the evergreen tree
Just as the so-called "iron Li Guyi, flowing spring festival gala", when it comes to the theme of the Spring Festival Gala, it is naturally inseparable from Li Guyi, the singer of "Unforgettable Tonight".
At the end of the Spring Festival Gala every year, there will be the beautiful voice of Teacher Li Guyi, and after listening to "Unforgettable Tonight", the New Year has become the ritual sense of countless people about the Spring Festival Gala.
At the end of today's inventory, we will retain this sense of ceremony and finally talk about this evergreen tree at the Spring Festival Gala.
In the first Spring Festival Gala in 1983, Li Guyi, a former member of the Central Orchestra, participated in the recording.
The Spring Festival Gala adopted the telephone song mode, and after singing a "New Year's Song" in the opening song, Li Guyi, who was amazed by his voice, got a crazy call from the audience.
So she sang 9 songs that night, which is also a single single Spring Festival Gala singing record.
At the Spring Festival Gala of the following year, lyricist Qiao Yu wrote "Unforgettable Tonight" in combination with the background of the Spring Festival, and handed it over to Li Guyi, who sang 9 songs in a row the previous year.
With the audience of 9 consecutive songs sung in the previous year, coupled with his own excellent voice conditions, Li Guyi sang this "Unforgettable Tonight" with a moving melody, and also spread the strong New Year flavor throughout the north and south of the river.
Due to the excellent singing effect, in the following decades of spring festival gala, Li Guyi was arranged to appear on the stage many times to sing the song.
Although in the history of the Spring Festival Gala in the past 40 years, the Spring Festival Gala program team has tried to let other singers sing "Unforgettable Tonight", but the effect is not as warm as Li Gu's version.
In the first version of Li Gu, it is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the outside world has gradually bound "Unforgettable Tonight" with Li Gu's three words.
It is worth mentioning that Li Guyi also appeared in the 2022 Spring Festival Gala, and the 78-year-old Evergreen Tree of the Spring Festival Gala will continue to sing for us across forty years of memory.
The above is the inventory of the stars who have been popular in the history of the Spring Festival Gala in the past 40 years.
In fact, there are many more stars that fit this definition.
Including Mao Amin, who became popular at the Spring Festival Gala with a song "Missing", she who came to the Spring Festival Gala as the third place in the Youth Song Contest, and also sang herself as a big sister in the song world with this classic divine song.
It also includes Shen Teng, who amuses everyone with the image of "Hao Jian", who is now developing in both directions in the field of sketches/movies, becoming a 10 billion box office actor and a new representative of the comedy industry.
Limited to the length of the article, the above inventory will not be repeated.
Looking back at the history of the Spring Festival Gala in the past nearly 40 years, these people brought indelible happy memories to the audience on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and formed a colorful chapter of the 40-year Spring Festival Gala.
So the question is, in the past 40 Spring Festival Gala, which star left the deepest impression on you?
