On Chinese New Year's Eve, four cities are particularly dazzling, and the locations of the four main stations of Xi'an, Shenyang, Kashgar and Changsha Spring Festival Gala sub-venues poured their most beautiful customs into the microphones of the Spring Festival Gala. The beat of the Spring Festival Gala, the four places sway together!
In the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon, the main station changed the design of the relatively independent content of the sub-venues in previous years, and let the four sub-venues step on the same beat, in order to play a game of chess with the total score of the main venue and link it as a whole. Among them, "people's nature" is the pedestal of all designs, not only to go to the door of the people's homes, but also to never interfere with normal life, this concept is like a bead thread, wearing the "1+4" Spring Festival Gala in five places, so that the whole Spring Festival Gala is integrated and charming.
The pedestrian street of Xi'an's Datang Sleepless City, the residents' balconies of the ancient city of Kashgar, the museums, railway stations, and TV towers in Shenyang, the libraries, concert halls, and crossroads in Changsha are all scenes of daily life, all of which are the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Thousands of ordinary people were invited to the branch venues to participate in performances and celebrations, enjoying their own Spring Festival Gala.
What should I do if I haven't watched enough of the Spring Festival Gala sub-venue?
In addition to the 6-minute display on Chinese New Year's Eve, CCTV-1 also broadcast a 4-hour special program for the Spring Festival at the branch venue on the first day of the first lunar month. With the themes of "Longteng Sanqin, Spring Warm Mountains and Rivers", "Shenshui Yang, My Heart Longs", "Beauty in Xinjiang" and "New Year Hunan Meets Spring Star City", the stories of the four cities will be spread out and the excitement of the Spring Festival Gala will continue.
The symphony orchestra performance on the site of Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty, the gold medal work of "Lotus Award" national folk dance "Maigaiti in the Sun", the short drama "My Heart Longing" full of Northeast "big ballast" flavor, and the highlight of "Double Moon Worship" in "Ten Tales of Hunan Opera", one of the "Top Ten Tales of Hunan Opera", "Double Moon Worship", and other high-quality programs with local characteristics were displayed in turn in the branch venues, and continued to "add meals" to the Spring Festival Gala. It is still a familiar stage and a familiar scene, and the glimpse of the Spring Festival Gala shows the regional culture and style represented by the four cities in the more abundant time of the first day of the new year, allowing the audience to enjoy watching it at one time.
Four cities and four beauties, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the first day of the new year, wave after wave of small climaxes, stunning their own amazement.
Xi'an: As long as the poem is there, the charm of 30,000 miles of mountains and rivers is there
A thousand years ago, Chang'an was the galaxy inspired by Li Bai. If Chang'an does not have Li Bai, this city of poetry will definitely lose its color. On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, we invited Li Bai to revisit Chang'an as a "guest". Shaanxi style rap, creative water sleeves, drum symphony, the Tang Dynasty never sleeps city reproduces the magnificent scene of poetic Chang'an.
The hit movie "Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an" in 2023 was seamlessly integrated into the Xi'an branch, which made fans very excited, and those who had not seen the movie were urged by netizens to go back to the Spring Festival Gala to "make up for their homework". When "Li Bai" raised his arms and shouted, "You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and not returning", did your DNA move?
The Spring Festival Gala cooperated with the film producer to chase the light animation, combined with the real-life performance to calculate the animation Li Bai, so that his color, movement, demeanor, and proportion perfectly fit the real scene. The Spring Festival Gala has also developed a special APP for this purpose, focusing on the real scene of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda with a mobile phone in Datang Sleepless City, and you can see the "same style" Li Bai of the Spring Festival Gala in your mobile phone.
How to express traditional culture? The Spring Festival Gala chose to let everyone express it together. At the moment when thousands of people recited Tang poems, I believe many people can feel that Li Bai is "alive", that is our Li Bai, his poems and soul are around us. Why is Chinese culture great? The poems of thousands of years ago have been passed through in one go to this day, and you don't even remember when you memorized them, and the Chinese chapters that have been known to women and children for thousands of years have always reverberated in our chests. This is the Chinese culture that we have inherited for thousands of years.
Kashgar: The ancient city blows the "most dazzling national style"
From the poetic Xi'an, to the western border of Kashgar, the Spring Festival Gala took us to "poetry and distance". Kashgar, like a half-veiled girl from the Western Regions, is full of charm and a little mysterious. The song "Lift Your Hijab" opened Kashgar's "most dazzling national style".
How much are the people of Kashgar looking forward to the Spring Festival Gala? After entering the deep winter, Kashgar has entered the off-season of tourism, and a large number of foreign tourists have returned, but when the crew of the Spring Festival Gala is stationed, Kashgar's popularity has gradually become active again. The common people regard the Spring Festival Gala stage as a new attraction, and the surrounding streets that have been deserted are becoming more and more popular, and business has reached two or three o'clock in the morning.
The Kowloon Wetland Park, where the branch venue is located, was originally being renovated, and the crew directly integrated the stage design into the construction plan, using the potholes that had not been backfilled in the renovation, and using local materials according to local conditions. Seeing the ingenious design scheme, Kashgar decided to build the stage according to the permanent facility standards, so that it would remain in Kashgar forever as a "gift for the Spring Festival Gala".
Mottled brick walls, bright window lattices, at the door of the house, on the balcony, Kashgar can dance everywhere. The crew also invited 560 residents of the ancient city to participate in this Spring Festival party together, with windows reflecting the happy families reunited, and enthusiastic national songs and dances were staged on the rooftops. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire ancient city of Kashgar is the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Shenyang: Although the weather is "quacky and cold", the enthusiasm of the Northeast is "leveraged"
Winter is coming, and the heat in the three northeastern provinces is also rising. When frozen pears, morning markets, scrubbing baths, iron pot stews, etc. came out of the circle one by one, Shenyang pushed the heat of the northeast to a climax on Chinese New Year's Eve.
The theme of the Shenyang branch venue is "going home", which is the eternal theme of the Spring Festival, but it is given a special meaning in the Shenyang branch venue. In 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly proposed that "the revitalization of Northeast China in the new era is comprehensive revitalization and all-round revitalization". Northeast China has the reputation of "the eldest son of the republic", and the word eldest son always means responsibility and dependence for a family. Going home during the Spring Festival, the Northeast looks forward to the children going home to see, see the spring tide surging on the black soil, leave nostalgia in the Northeast, inject vitality into the Northeast, and cast the glory and dream of the Northeast in the new era.
The location of the Shenyang branch venue also has a tough texture, and the stage is set at the Industrial Museum of China in Tiexi District, Shenyang. In order not to destroy the layout of the museum, the crew built a long stage, which not only saves costs, but also creates a novel exhibition space, creating a "museum night" with a strong industrial style.
In addition to the Industrial Museum of China, there are also landmark scenes in Shenyang, such as the railway station and the TV tower, where there are wanderers everywhere and the joy of going home. "Little New Year's Greetings", "Lover", "Lullaby" and other unique music with Northeast characteristics are newly choreographed, integrated with rock, rap, folk music, and ballet, and the creative collision of Northeast opera and contemporary fashion makes people feel the enthusiasm of fire in the ice and snow.
Changsha: Blend the dynamism of youth into the night of Changsha
"Liuyang River, how many bends have you made?" The Liuyang River, which is famous for this song, meets the Xiangjiang River at the "three halls and one hall". This is the Changsha branch venue, Changsha Museum, Changsha City Planning Exhibition Hall, Changsha Library, and Changsha Concert Hall are also out of the circle, because of the arrival of the Spring Festival Gala venue, Internet celebrity Changsha has ushered in a new wave of popularity.
Young, never sleeps city, this is Changsha's eye-catching label. It is said that "the more Changsha is more and more at night", among the four branch venues, Changsha "deservedly" occupies the zero o'clock time, and Changsha in the middle of the night is her home field. The main stage is designed as a vibrant scientific and technological "tree", and the rich light and shadow lines create a modern feeling, highlighting the vitality of Changsha.
Changsha also offered a proud skill. It has always been "Liuyang fireworks that shook the world", and the national intangible cultural heritage Liuyang firecrackers, which have amazed the Beijing Olympics and Winter Olympics, bloomed for the Spring Festival Gala this time. Fireworks have always been the "strongest atmosphere group" for the New Year, with hot Hunan flavor stir-fry and oily skewers, the New Year's flavor of the Spring Festival Gala is instantly full.
In the four sub-venues, from the thousands of people in Xi'an to the chorus of thousands of people in Changsha, the protagonist of this party is actually every kind, warm and serious life.
The sub-venue is set on heaven and earth, and there are thick fireworks everywhere, and what the crew cares about most is to capture the expression of true feelings and inner joy. The Spring Festival Gala is not "I am beautiful and you see", it is a depth of field, and we who live in real life are the focus of the prospect. From the people, belonging to the people, is the gold standard for the creation of the Spring Festival Gala.
A poem, a word, and a dance are all brushes, constantly splashing the warm pigments of ordinary people in the fireworks and integrating them into an exclusive impression painting of the Spring Festival Gala. This is the most beautiful appearance of the Spring Festival Gala.
