The song was cut and the duration was stuck, and the critical appointment of the director team of the Spring Festival Gala was Yue Yunpeng's confidence
In August 2023, Yue Yunpeng revealed in a variety show that every time he participates in the Spring Festival Gala, he needs to prepare for a year.
In other words, after getting off the stage, I began to write scripts for the next year's cross talk.
The performance of just ten minutes or so took a year to prepare, which not only shocked the guest Xu Mengtao next to him, but also shocked the audience.
Of course, such a long time of preparation has also made many netizens sarcastic.
"It's been so long to prepare, it's not as funny as Deng Chao who is jumping around. ”
"Something like this in a year?"
"Where is the strength, why is he always in the Spring Festival Gala?"
"Who gave Yue Yunpeng confidence?"
Including after the performance of the Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Dragon, some viewers complained about its content.
When "one year" meets "ten minutes", it is indeed quite confusing and surprising, so, where is Yue Yunpeng's hard work?
After carefully understanding the cause and effect, you may understand.
First of all, the tone of the Spring Festival Gala is different.
The Spring Festival Gala is a big project that audiences across the country are looking forward to.
Therefore, this is also destined to be the tone of the Spring Festival Gala - rigorous.
Different from the performance of the small theater, and also different from the performance of other stages, standing on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala must conform to the most basic tone, whether it is the subject matter or the way of performance, as big as every sentence, as small as every expression needs to be carefully considered.
And after meeting these conditions, you also have to consider how to amuse the audience, whether this burden will ring, whether the audience will laugh, whether the response will be good, whether the performance will be wrong, and so on.
On the one hand, it is necessary to get rid of the performance habits in the small theater, on the one hand, it is necessary to cater to the preferences of the audience, and on the other hand, it must withstand the polishing of the director team of the Spring Festival Gala.
After the work is written and it has passed its own level, can it pass the level of the director team? Can it withstand the test of dozens of directors in turn?
That's where the difficulty lies!
If a professional cross talk actor wants to listen to a group of non-professional directors "picking" his work, how to balance his mind to take into account the quality of the work, the joy of the audience, and the satisfaction of the director to complete a work that may deviate from the original appearance?
The review is rigorous, and it is difficult to reconcile, which is why Guo Degang will sigh "too hard" whenever he talks about his first appearance in the Spring Festival Gala in 2013.
The work needs to be written, the baggage needs to be loud, everything needs to be in line with the tone, and this is not a small project.
Secondly, the uncertainty of the Spring Festival Gala.
However, the preparation in the early stage is not the hardest, the most difficult, and the most mentally testing is the eve of the stage.
Because, full of uncertainty.
For example, Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue were scared into a cold sweat when they stood on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time to say cross talk, because the venue was temporarily changed.
Before the performance, they stayed in the studio where they could watch the other actors perform in real time, and when the actors came off the stage, they went on to perform.
But who expected, he was suddenly arranged to another studio before going on the stage, and when he was on the stage could only be judged through the live broadcast screen, which led to his misjudgment and said "Happy New Year" in advance, and stopped talking after speaking.
Seeing this, the director team hurriedly reminded him to open his mouth to speak, so he added another sentence of "Happy New Year", and then began the official performance.
Because of the temporary change of the studio and the addition of "Happy New Year", Yue Yunpeng, who disrupted the rhythm, was scared into a cold sweat, but fortunately, the experienced stage and strong adaptability did not let the audience see the flaws, and the following performances were also successfully performed.
However, this is only the first hurdle, and the second hurdle is the temporary adjustment of the duration.
The duration of the Spring Festival Gala is limited, and there can be no difference in each program, otherwise it will affect the performance and zero time signal of each subsequent program.
In order not to make mistakes, the director team needs to keep holding countdown signs under the stage to remind them, and the actors on the stage need a strong heart and deep skills to respond quickly.
Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue once encountered that they were reminded that there was only one minute left in the middle of the show, so while overcoming their psychological tension, they kept deleting the lines in their minds to make the ending, and at the same time, they naturally did not want to be discovered by the audience.
Not only them, but Guo Degang was also reminded.
Ten minutes is not enough performance time to stuff your teeth, and you have to be reminded to delete it again when you get on stage, and you have to think about how to shake off the burden when you delete it, which is really difficult!
Time is uncontrollable, actors can rely on their own experience and strength to adjust randomly, and the uncontrollable props are even more difficult.
In 2023, Yue Yunpeng's performance of "My Change, Change, Change" needs to conjure a roast chicken for the audience, this roast chicken has been hidden in the organ table, and he needs to keep paying attention to the organ table before conjuring up, and he has to step on the organ under his feet.
The mistakes of the props are irreversible, and everything is uncontrollable, which really tests the mentality of the actors.
Similarly, the Spring Festival Gala in 2024 also has a lot of uncertainties.
In "Next Stop Spring Festival Gala", Yue Yunpeng revealed that every time he was in the big rehearsal, he had to perform for seventeen or eighteen minutes, and when everything was ready and waiting for the official performance, he received a temporary notice from the director team: The Spring Festival Gala is overtime, and you need to cut the singing part of your program.
Yue Yunpeng, who received the notice, could only temporarily remove the song part, and the performance time was randomly waiting to be adjusted, and there were only about ten minutes left when the official performance was finally performed, so as to dynamically adjust the overall duration of the Spring Festival Gala.
Looking at various factors, there is really not much time to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala for a year.
Finally, the director team of the Spring Festival Gala has high hopes.
The song was cut, the duration was stuck, and the director of the Spring Festival Gala was also ordered to respond to a little from the side: Yue Yunpeng is strong and has high hopes.
Crosstalk seems simple, but in fact it is difficult, one sentence less and more sentences will affect the final presentation effect, but the director team still temporarily adjusted Yue Yunpeng's "I Want to Be Different" instead of Jin Fei Chen Xi's "Director's "Heart", which is enough to prove the director team's trust in Yue Yunpeng.
In fact, this trust began as early as 2019.
Since 2019, Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue's cross talk has been arranged in the first language program, and its purpose is very simple: to warm up the scene.
At the beginning of the Spring Festival Gala, the singing and dancing were presented, and the national audience was in a surging mood, how to keep the burning field from getting cold after the singing and dancing, who has the ability to catch the enthusiasm of the audience, and how the later programs can be carried out smoothly on this basis, it is crucial.
The fact that the director team of the Spring Festival Gala can arrange Yue Yunpeng after singing and dancing is to fully trust him, which is also something that ordinary actors can't do.
To a certain extent, Yue Yunpeng's performance is not a simple performance, but a performance with a hot task, and a performance that the director team of the Spring Festival Gala has high hopes for.
From "Wonderful Words" in 2019, "Fun Talk of Life" in 2020, to "Song of Chinese New Year's Eve" in 2021 and "My Change, Change, Change" in 2023, and then to "I Want to Be Different" in 2024, the Spring Festival Gala director team's arrangement of Yue Yunpeng is enough to prove his strength, and it is his confidence to live up to expectations for so many years!
The theme of the Spring Festival Gala is happiness and companionship, as the audience should not complain with a scrutinizing gaze, different occasions, different tasks, and naturally different effects, which is not a reflection of real strength.
But one thing is certain, the director team of the Spring Festival Gala can put Yue Yunpeng's program in the first place many times, and can be ordered to change the content in danger, which is Yue Yunpeng's strength and confidence.
