With May Day approaching, CCTV has prepared a special gala, which is not a live broadcast, but a recorded broadcast. This year, the host lineup is still led by Ren Luyu and Long Yang, and the partners of these two have become familiar faces to the audience.
Every year on May Day, CCTV will hold a grand party to celebrate the hard work of the workers, and this party in 2024 has some special adjustments. First of all, the broadcast format of the program was recorded rather than live.
This change is mainly to reduce the pressure on the staff and ensure the high quality of the content of the program. While the recording method may take the audience less of the fun of instant engagement, it allows the program team more time to edit and refine the performance.
In terms of casting, although this year's guests include senior artists such as Huang Zihongfan, Yu Yi, and Liao Changyong, compared with other large-scale events such as the Spring Festival Gala, the star popularity of the May Day Gala is not too high.
This is mainly because the focus of the evening is more on ordinary workers, and the fruits of their labor are celebrated through the form of art. The gala elevates the show's depth and meaning by showcasing the stories behind the workers, rather than relying solely on the appeal of the stars.
In terms of hosts, the re-cooperation between Ren Luyu and Long Yang has become a highlight. As a senior host, Ren Luyu's stable performance has always been an important factor relied on by the program team.
Not only will she be the host again at the May Day Gala in 2024, but the rapid rise of her career has also been widely recognized by the industry. Compared with other new hosts such as Ma Fanshu, Wang Jianing, and Zhang Shuyue, Long Yang's development has shown a clear lead.
CCTV's reuse of Long Yang is not limited to the May Day party. In the usual program arrangement, the series of "Chinese Poetry Conference" hosted by Long Yang has become a business card of CCTV.
Her performance not only consolidated her position as the face of CCTV, but also showed obvious advantages in the fierce competition.
The cooperation between Ren Luyu and Long Yang is seen as a long-term strategic arrangement, similar to CCTV's classic hosting partners in the past, such as Zhao Zhongxiang and Ni Ping, Zhu Jun and Dong Qing. The continuation of this partnership not only proves the individual abilities of the two, but also shows CCTV's high recognition of them.
Through such a party arrangement, CCTV not only shows the respect and inheritance of traditional culture, but also emphasizes the respect for the working people. Every arrangement of the program reflects the pursuit of quality and a responsible attitude towards the audience.
The co-hosts of Long Yang and Ren Luyu added a lot of highlights to the party, and the depth of the content of the program made people feel a different May Day atmosphere.
In the selection of the content of the party, the production team specially arranged a series of programs related to the workers, including on-site interviews and specially produced short films, which went deep into life and were close to reality, showing the hard work and dedication of the workers in their respective fields.
This change in form makes the evening party no longer just a simple entertainment program, but has become a cultural display with educational significance and social value.
For the recording of the party, the program team does not need to carry out complex live broadcast arrangements and immediate response, which greatly reduces the burden on the staff.
Recording also provides more flexibility for post-production. After the program is recorded, the production team can edit and adjust it according to the actual effect, which not only ensures the quality of the program, but also better controls the rhythm of the program and the presentation of content.
