In the near future, we will usher in the 2024 Chinese New Year. At the same time, the high-profile CCTV Spring Festival Gala is also in intense preparations. Recently, some of the guests who participated in the first round of rehearsals in 2024 were captured by reporters who patiently waited outside the gate of CCTV, and after the photos of the airport and the scene were revealed, the audience's enthusiasm for them escalated again. Most of the participants are language actors, such as Mr. Jia Bing, Ms. Ma Xudong, Ms. Jiang Shimeng and Ms. Zhang Ruonan and other celebrities in the entertainment industry. Ms. Zhang Ruonan, who silently appeared and sang, looked tired, but still greeted every visitor with a sincere smile. Jia Bing, a leading figure in the world of comedy, is full of confidence, and his works often cause the audience to laugh. It is worth mentioning that Ms. Ma Xudong, who has an eye-catching performance in the audience's favorite "First Sight Photo Studio", has been on the list for two consecutive years. Ms. Jiang Shimeng, who has been repeatedly invited to celebrate the New Year, still maintains a simple style and makes her debut at the Spring Festival Gala. In the face of this exposed lineup, the audience has expressed their expectations for the 2024 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, especially looking forward to enjoying a pleasant viewing experience.
In this year's Spring Festival Gala planning event, some netizens have expressed their expectations: they are eager to see more representative and innovative works, and they are willing to catch a glimpse of those strange but fascinating new generation of artists. On the other hand, there are also people who expect to meet those familiar artists at the Spring Festival Gala to add joy and unexpected surprises to their Spring Festival. For the form and content of the Spring Festival Gala performances, they also gave their own unique insights and constructive suggestions. Many people believe that the Spring Festival Gala should place more emphasis on the spirit of innovation and innovation, so that the audience has the opportunity to appreciate a deeper cultural heritage and a sense of the times. In the process of selecting actors, casting should not only focus on fame and popularity, but also focus on their comprehensive quality and industry evaluation.
In fact, over the years, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala has always been committed to continuous exploration and attempts, allowing us to enjoy many amazing and unforgettable performances. For example, the 2023 Spring Festival Gala will present a visual and auditory feast for the majority of TV audiences with a new program form and expression. For another example, the 2023 Spring Festival Gala will also focus on cultural inheritance and traditional culture display, bringing you many evocative traditional opera and song performances. These efforts and breakthroughs have made the image of the Spring Festival Gala higher and higher in the minds of the audience, and its influence has gradually increased.
However, for the evaluation of the Spring Festival Gala, the views of all walks of life are not completely unified. Some viewers think that the quality of the Spring Festival Gala's programs fluctuates greatly, and there are occasional poor opportunities, while another part of the audience points out that the form and content of the Spring Festival Gala are too monotonous and uniform, and lack the courage to boldly innovate and challenge themselves. In response to these problems, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala will continue to improve in the future production process and reach a more perfect state as soon as possible. In short, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, as a beautiful landscape of Chinese culture, has long become an indispensable program during the Spring Festival. Whether you are optimistic about it or not, it has deeply confirmed the inheritance and prosperity of Chinese culture, and has brought endless laughter and warmth to countless audiences.
As one of the cultural treasures of our Chinese people, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala (referred to as the Spring Festival Gala) has always been the most anticipated large-scale festival literary and artistic program for Chinese people in the past few decades. However, with the passage of time, I don't know if you have noticed that we seem to have lost the obsession and expectation of this show in the past? In fact, judging from the development trend in recent years, the weight of the Spring Festival Gala in our minds has begun to decline, and some people even bluntly believe that it no longer has the charming magic of the original.
Looking back on the past, the memories left by the Spring Festival Gala are joyful, warm and full of sincere emotions. Everyone is looking forward to the Chinese New Year's Eve when the whole family sits in front of the TV screen in the living room, savoring sumptuous food and watching the superb performances of the artists. These shows always bring us joy and tears, those ridiculous sketches, laughing cross talk, beautiful and moving dances and melodious songs, all make people have good memories. These interesting and artistic performances are undoubtedly the most anticipated visual feast during the Spring Festival. Every time they appear, every moment is filled with joyful laughter.
However, the Spring Festival Gala in recent years has gradually changed this style. The audience found that the current Spring Festival Gala is more like a didactic script, full of artificiality and sensationalism. What was supposed to be a purely entertainment program now requires a moral education first. Various topics, such as parent-child relationships, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships, colleague relationships, etc., have been put on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and some serious topics have been forcibly inserted into it. This made the audience feel very uncomfortable, as if the Spring Festival Gala had turned into a "hodgepodge" mixed with various elements.
On the Internet, many netizens also expressed their dissatisfaction with the Spring Festival Gala. They miss the previous Spring Festival Gala sketches, which can always bring surprises and laughter. And although the current Spring Festival Gala sketches also have jokes, they always make people feel a little deliberate and unnatural. Many viewers said they would rather see a purely entertaining show than a work with too many other elements. In general, the Spring Festival Gala has lost its original taste. The current Spring Festival Gala is more like a didactic script, which makes the audience feel very uncomfortable. What the audience wants to see more is pure entertainment, the kind of program that is not pretentious, not sensational, and purely entertaining for the sake of entertainment. They hope that the Spring Festival Gala can return to its original intention and once again become the Chinese New Year's Eve feast that can bring them laughter and emotion.
In the long history of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, there are always those familiar figures, symbolizing the characteristics and charm of the Spring Festival Gala, some of them are known as "Spring Festival Gala nail households" and have become eternal memories in the hearts of the audience, and some have been questioned by the public. Composer Wu Tianhong is one of the highly praised ones. Since his debut on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in 2004, he has not been absent for 16 years, and his music works are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and are picturesque. However, actors Sun Tao and Jia Bing, due to the solidified design of their works, are considered by many audiences to be too repetitive and slightly "boring", so they no longer look forward to seeing the two old faces appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Sun Tao first stepped on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in 1995, and since then has started a 17-year continuous performance process, and his endless creative passion has won him the warm love of the audience. His character who is recognized as a tenacious character, in the sketches of the Spring Festival Gala performances, has built the floor again and again to symbolize the power of China's Spring Festival Gala faith, and that kind smile, accompanied by the excitement of music, will imprint the moment of celebration on the hearts of every Chinese son. However, Sun Tao's Spring Festival Gala works have always maintained a consistent style over the past many years, resulting in aesthetic fatigue among the audience, and some people have even begun to question whether he should continue to perform on this big platform.
Over the past 20 years, the performer of the highly appreciated track "Homesickness is Inexplicable" in the bone marrow of the Spring Festival Gala, Jia Bing. In the 2018 sketch "Entrepreneurial Heroes", his funny warm-up performance brought endless joy to the audience; But later, due to the continuity of the content of the Spring Festival Gala sketches and the imperfect viewing experience, many audiences said that they no longer looked forward to seeing his performance. And the "in a word" concluding sentence that is common in his works reveals an inevitable dullness. In today's fast-growing network society, some problems have gradually emerged in the Spring Festival Gala exclusive to traditional culture. Nowadays, when we are in a period of explosive growth of short videos, the artistic re-creation of the Spring Festival Gala is obviously lagging behind, which makes some viewers can't help but ask themselves, is our increasingly personalized entertainment demand too urgent?
Although the tastes of the audience of the Spring Festival Gala are constantly changing, the significance of the Spring Festival has always been the same. No matter how the performance of the Spring Festival Gala tries to change, the core values of the Spring Festival and the spiritual needs of the public will never change. We hope that the Spring Festival Gala will continue to show its unique charm in the future, uphold the original intention, continue to promote the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and provide richer cultural enjoyment for the people.
