On the evening of September 21, 2021, the Mid-Autumn Festival Film and Music Gala in the Greater Bay Area finally kicked off in the expectations of the audience, although the organizers did not officially announce it until two days before the start of the program, but it did not affect the viewing of the party.
In the viewership data on the evening of September 21, it can be seen that the ratings and attention of the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in the Greater Bay Area are second only to the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala of CCTV, ranking second.
Both in terms of attention and market share, the party was undoubtedly a great success.
The reasons for the success of this party are roughly several.
The first is that there are many live broadcast TV stations, which are jointly broadcast by CCTV-6 Movie Channel, Phoenix Satellite TV, Guangdong Satellite TV, Shenzhen Satellite TV, Hong Kong TVB Jade Channel, Pearl Tv, Australia Broadcasting Television, etc., such a strong joint live broadcast lineup is rare.
The second is the strong lineup, with more than 200 singers and artists on the scene, whether it is the scale of mainland artists or the scale of Hong Kong artists, it can be said that it is the rarest ever.
The third is that the program is wonderful, and this evening party is based on Cantonese as the main melody, recreating many songs that pay tribute to classics, such as Teresa Teng's "Walking the Road of Life", Huang Jiaju's "Like You", and Chen Baiqiang's "What to Ask for in Life" have been moved to the screen again.
All along, there have always been two more representative listeners in China, one is Chinese listeners, one is Cantonese listeners, in the early Hong Kong music scene boom period, the mainland is also a lot of Cantonese listeners, but with the passage of time, Hong Kong's old singers gradually aged, almost no new works, and young singers have a fault phenomenon, so there can be a large party about Cantonese, it is really rare.
Although most mainland audiences do not understand Cantonese and cannot speak Cantonese, they inexplicably like Cantonese songs because cantonese pronunciation is rich, it has 19 vowels, 56 vowels and nine tones and six tones.
Even people who can't understand Cantonese will more or less like the tone of Cantonese.
Moreover, Lin Zixiang, a god-level figure in the Cantonese music scene, appeared on the scene, and the tribute to his "Dare to Love dare to do" even pulled the atmosphere of the scene to the highest point.
Tian Yu, Jackie Chan, Hui Yinghong and others have called for Lin Zixiang.
Of course, there are many wonderful programs in the show, like Faye Wong's appearance is a very surprising thing.
The chorus of zhao yazhi, Wen Bixia, Li Ruotong, and Chen Songling, the four immortal goddesses, also let netizens remember the killing again.
In addition to Hong Kong's veteran stars, Zhou Liqi Fangli Shen Xu Jingyun, who can represent the new generation of Hong Kong, also sang "Under the Lion Rock" together.
At the end, Zhang Mingmin led the singing of "My Chinese Heart" to once again bring the party to a climax, and at the same time ended the party perfectly.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in the Greater Bay Area, netizens are also enthusiastically discussing the party, and this program has also been affirmed to have been supported by many netizens, and even netizens commented that the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in the Greater Bay Area is "the ceiling of the gala", which shows how successful this evening is.

In fact, such a large-scale cross-strait friendship party is not the first time, as early as 28 years ago, there was a time.
Back in 1993, due to the serious disasters in many parts of China's mainland, with the efforts of multiple departments, CCTV and the Hong Kong Artists Association jointly held a charity performance on "Disaster Reduction and Poverty Alleviation" in the Great Hall of the People.
On the night of the performance, CCTV, Hong Kong TVB and even North America were broadcast at the same time, and the audience reached 1 billion, which is also quite huge.
At that time, CCTV sent the strongest host lineup, Ni Ping and Zhao Zhongxiang, the two golden partners, while the Hong Kong side sent Two hosts, Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Xinjian.
At that time, it was said that there were as many as 800 actors, and the main cast in Hong Kong was: Jackie Chan, Jet Li (who was working hard in Hong Kong at that time), Mui Yanfang, Tam Wing Lin, Lin Zixiang, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Li Ming, Aaron Kwok, Yip Qianwen, Lin Yilian, Li Keqin, Maggie Cheung, Leung Ka Fai and others.
It is gratifying to look at this lineup alone, these artists are the banners of the Hong Kong film industry and the music scene, and to this day, each of them still has a very big influence.
The mainland cast included Mao Amin, Cheng Fangyuan, Hang Tianqi, Na Ying, Xie Xiaodong, Mao Ning, Lin Ping, Chen Hong and others, who were also outstanding representatives of mainland artists at that time.
After the opening dance of the party, "Unity today", actors from Hong Kong and actors from the mainland took to the stage one by one to introduce, and then four hosts took the stage to conduct a formal co-host.
The first group appeared in the "black and white double male" Jet Li and Jackie Chan, because Jet Li was wearing white clothes, Jackie Chan was wearing black clothes, and the two were also the leaders in the film field, so the appearance of the two males was very live effect.
Jet Li performed a smooth mouth, jackie Chan sang "Man Jiang Hong" because it was Cantonese, many audiences at that time could not understand, but Jackie Chan sang the melody is still very good, "black and white double male" performance may not be very professional today, but the warm-up effect of the two is still OK.
Next up were Liang Jiahui, Li Ming, Aaron Kwok, Li Keqin, and Maggie Cheung pulling the rope out.
At that time, Maggie Cheung was still full of collagen, and the four male stars were also flourishing.
The five of them pulled the rope to represent unity, and then made a small game, which simply brought up the atmosphere of the party.
After several warm-ups, Lin Zixiang appeared and sang "Boys Should Be Self-Reliant", this song is very energetic, coupled with the scene and martial arts accompaniment dance, Lin Zixiang's program played a quite big role in promoting the plot of the party.
Subsequently, the "Four Kings of Hong Kong" Aaron Kwok, Jacky Cheung, Dawn, and Andy Lau performed the "Youth Dance Song" in turn, and each of the four sang a classic folk song, and everyone's singing was very recognizable.
Judging from the on-site reaction at that time, the influence of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong" was indeed the greatest.
The folk songs sung by the "Four Kings of Hong Kong" are all improvised songs, but the four of them are worthy of the Heavenly Kings, and each of them sings very well and has its own flavor.
In addition to the folk songs, in the second half, the four kings sang their own classic Cantonese songs.
Jacky Cheung sang "Kiss Goodbye", Dawn sang "Will You Come Tonight", Aaron Kwok sang "Who Can Tell Me", and Andy Lau sang "The Afterlife".
The Four Heavenly Kings demonstrated their excellent singing and dancing abilities on the spot, while Chinese and Cantonese can be mastered freely.
At the end of the show, after Mei Yanfang and Tan Yonglin each sang a solo, the two people sang "You Are My Lover", and the scene, whether it was duet or dance, seemed to be flowing.

After this "93 charity performance", the culture of the two sides of the strait has been well exchanged, and the music culture of Hong Kong has also given a good enlightening effect to the mainland music scene at that time.
Subsequently, since 1994, the mainland music scene has begun to flourish, and many golden songs have been born for several consecutive years, which can be called fairy fights, and the singers of that year are also known as the "94 new generation"!
The songs in this catalog are the top ten gold songs in 1994, and these songs are still familiar to the audience to this day, and there are not a few singers who have received this batch of benefits.
After the 1993 charity performance, the explosion of mainland music in 1994 was more or less influenced by the Hong Kong music scene, which was a big collision after cross-strait cultural exchanges, and the impact of this collision on the mainland music scene cannot be described as strong.
Only after the 93 charity performance, such a large-scale cross-strait friendship party, there is no more, which makes many netizens who like Hong Kong culture sigh emptyly.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in the Greater Bay Area in 2021 once again brought cross-strait friendship and invited a number of Hong Kong artists to co-star in the program with mainland artists, and the lineup was strong and the strength was rare in history.
Cantonese culture is a kind of Chinese culture, and although its audience is not as popular as Mandarin, every Chinese culture should be treated equally.
For this Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in the Greater Bay Area, it has also won the love of many audiences in the Two Guangzhou Regions and the Hong Kong and Macao Bay Areas, and the praise has been overwhelming.
Of course, the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in the Greater Bay Area also has another purpose, that is, to promote cross-strait film exchanges, and Yang Shoucheng, chairman of the Emperor Group, also made a rare appearance, hoping to make better films with the mainland.
I hope that after this party, whether it is a Hong Kong movie or a mainland movie, it can also be like a big explosion after the 93 charity performance!
From 1993 to 2021, 28 years have passed, and the reunion of Cantonese and Mandarin has finally been completed, and I believe that such a party is not the only time!
