The stunning circle of the "Most Beautiful Night of 2019" New Year's Eve Party in Station B has made this year's Station B cross-night highly anticipated.
From December 2020, Station B began to warm up the New Year's Eve party early. The co-organizers changed from Xinhua News Agency in 2019 to Central Video in 2020, and the producers also participated in the Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, Hubei Radio and Television Media, NEW TV and TVB. With the release of the program list one after another, at 8 p.m. on December 31, the party finally unveiled.
The virtual idol Luo Tianyi, who belongs to the "old second dimension", the group AKB48, the classic god work EVA, the Kyo Ani animation suite; the "emotional killer" "Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions", "The Legend of the Paladin Sword" suite, Lang Lang's piano performance "Marvel Heroes Never End"... These voices carved into the DNA made the audience of the party frantically brush the screen with the bullet screen of "Ye Qing Hui".

At the other end of the "Ye Qing Hui", there is also another sound.
"Spring Festival Gala Wind", "Low Concentration of Two Dimensions", "Somewhat Flat"... Compared with the surprise and explosion of "the most beautiful night of 2019", this time the B station does not seem to satisfy everyone.
In many programs, the host of the crazy circle of fans, Sabine, was questioned on the stage of the B station but was questioned as "unsatisfied"; some bullet screens were too many or too few Japanese songs at the dispute party; the program was somewhat scattered in order to take care of the preferences of different groups; the most impressive sentence of the party was the advertising slogan - "0 sugar 0 fat 0 card".
Rap show "Today to be a yuanqier"
B station barrage, Weibo comments, Zhihu answers, Douban scores, each platform presented a rather polarized voice. Some netizens commented: It seems to be a group of children's party, parents suddenly joined, and everyone became restrained.
"Grandpa Qinghui" or "Spring Festival Gala Wind", which is the real 2021 B station cross-night?
<h1>Feelings</h1>
In the evening program, the most tried and tested means to arouse the audience's emotions is the "love card". When the sounds that have been carved into the DNA sound, no one can resist.
Last year, that is, the late 2020 eve of Station B, it was "stone breaking the sky" and played this point to the extreme. Of the 35 programs, 11 of them are related to IP works. "World of Warcraft" super-ignited opening, "Nezha" followed, "League of Legends", "Harry Potter", "Game of Thrones", "Spirited Away" and other "hard dishes" in different chapters one by one. The anime suite chose the theme song of classic works such as "A Scientific Super Electromagnetic Cannon", "Digimon Baby", "Head Text D", "Detective Conan" and so on, and any one of the tracks performed alone will make B station users "tear up", not to mention the combination of bombing.

And in 2021, the B station crossed the night, and the scene of the "Ye Qing Hui" bullet screen brushing the most fiercely also occurred at the "tearful eye" moment that made the feelings ignite.
The show opens with "Three Chef Ecstasy": "Cyberpunk 2077" bizarre stage style, virtual idol Luo Tianyi, and the original ending song "Night Star" of the domestic animation "My Three-Body: The Legend of Zhang Beihai". Against the backdrop of a vast universe of mystery, danger and opportunity, Luo Tianyi walked through the yellow sand lifted by the fierce wind, and finally draped a pair of huge white wings to sprinkle dazzling light on the earth.

Nicholas Tse brought his classic song "Yellow Race Man", which is also the ending song of his TV series masterpiece "Little Fish and Flowers". Strength singer-songwriter Liu Baixin sang the League of Legends 2020 promotional song "Warriors Warriors". The GALA band of "no broken sound is not live" used a song "Chasing Dreams and Pure Hearts" to find the "inner taste" for B station users.
Dancer Huang Xiao used "Journey to the West" as inspiration to choreograph the modern dance program "Journey to the West • Asking The Heart". The music begins with the divine comedy "Yungong Xunyin" and ends with the explosive "Battle Song" "The Great Avenue of Heaven is Wide and Wide", with Sun Wukong as the protagonist showing the three classic plots of the Great War Pansi Cave, three dozen white bone essences, and the true and false Monkey King.

There is also the "Legend of the Paladin Sword" that is engraved in the DNA and will never linger.
Station B put the video clip of the game "Paladin 1" at the beginning of the show. The familiar and unfamiliar pixel game screen makes the audience realize that this "pinnacle work" that cannot be ignored in the history of Chinese games has accompanied the Chinese people for 25 years. Huang Yali, who wore glasses on the Supergirl Stage in 2005 and had short hair, now has long flowing hair, and sang "Kill the Wolf" again in the "Lock Demon Tower", proudly introducing that "the costume was designed by himself, half li xiaoyao, half Zhao Ling'er.". The six B station UP masters used traditional Chinese instruments to play the classic songs of xianjian "Butterfly Love" and "Royal Sword Jianghu", which made the audience feel like they had revisited the years.

If the above is only high energy, then when the blue bird flying fish appears, it is "nuclear energy". The prelude to the "Paladin Iii" TV series track "This Life Will Not Change" sounded, and the screen full of "Ye Qinghui", "All Stood Up" and "Began to cry". After many years, the voices of Tiger Tiger and Seven Zero have changed slightly, but the audience's full of emotions has not changed. This kind of empathy, which has been precipitated by several generations, makes the audience in the scene begin to sing a chorus, and the audience in the bullet screen brushes up the beloved plot lines and protagonists, and pours out those tears and heartbreaks again.
"This Life Will Not Change" was sung by the whole audience
In addition, Ge Ping, whose hair is already gray, has an authentic "blue cat" taste as soon as he opens his mouth; a year after the Kyoto Animation arson incident, the B station UP masters sang the Kyo Ani animation suite "Guardian Gentle"; on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of EVA, Chen Leyi sang the theme song "Cruel Angel's Action Plan"; and in 2020, when there was no Marvel new work released due to the epidemic, Lang Lang and the symphony orchestra jointly played "Marvel Heroes Never End"; "Station Li Guyi" Mayday also arrived as scheduled. At the Taipei branch, the last "Cheers" of the year was sung.
Most of the audience of the B station will cross the night in the bullet screen, but by the end of the party, the Weibo topic of #B station New Year's Eve has exceeded 300 million, the number of discussions has exceeded 200,000, and the popularity has exceeded many hot search topics.
The words "Ye Qing Hui" are not excessive.

In 2021, the Douban score of station B across the night is still dropped.
Although the number of people who score will increase, the rating will change. But the current score of 6.5 is indeed far from the previous year's 9.1.

In "Under the Stars: The Most Beautiful Night Behind-the-Scenes Documentary in 2020", Yang Liang, general manager of the B Station Market Center and general planner of the party, frankly said that there was not much pressure when doing the party in 2019, because it had not been done, and there was no baggage. But the start was a bit high and the pressure of 2020 is great.
Yang Liang believes that if you give "The Most Beautiful Night of 2019" a score of 9, 6 points come from content and production, 2 points come from the freshness of the first time, and 1 point comes from word of mouth. Therefore, the difficulty of producing "The Most Beautiful Night of 2020" is even greater, and the 2 points from the fresh energy are not only gone, but also may affect the reputation of the program due to the high expectations of the audience, becoming negative points. If you want to make up for the cost of high expectations, Station B must "drop the blood" in the production level and improve to 7 or 8 points.
Director Gong Peng also said: "The biggest difference between 2020 and 2019 is that we have to find a way. ”
Station B crosses the night behind the scenes
For example, IP programs. Everyone has a different IP "favorite", so that all viewers are familiar with the "greatest common divisor" is not much, what to do? The risk of IP programs is also relatively large, and once the design is not right, it is easy to have problems. If users feel that the program is consuming IP, it will not only not make the program better, but will be eaten back.
Compared with the first year of directly poking the audience with song performance "tears", this year's B station cross-night IP display ideas are more diverse, and the Easter eggs are more abundant. For example, behind Chen Leyi, a performer of the "Cruel Angels' Action Plan", 30 major events around the world in 2020 were recorded in EVA's iconic font. This stage design, which only appeared for no more than 20 seconds, was evaluated by EVA fans as: "essence", "scene" and "god".
EVA-style font + 2020 30 major events worldwide
Program production is getting more and more difficult every year, especially good programs.
Compared with the "Most Beautiful Night of 2019", which cannot be removed from the eyes and continues to be highly burning, the audience mainly has several doubts about this year's cross-night: the program connection is blunt, the advertising implantation is more, and the "Spring Festival Gala" is heavier, which is a bit contrary. However, pulling the entire industry to see, most viewers still recognize that the quality of the B station's cross-night program is at the forefront of its peers.
Under the huge pressure of "Zhuyu in front", Station B still contributed several "immortal programs" with almost zero bad reviews on the whole network.
One is Qiu Jirong's opera program "Amazing Hong".
The key word for the audience to brush the screen for "Amazing Hong" is: the best in the whole field. Even though the live broadcast has ended for a day, in the retrospective video of a single program, nearly a thousand people have watched "Amazing Hong" at the same time, once again contributing thousands of bullet screens.
The curtain lifts and you fall asleep in the garden. At a glance, the thousands of weather in the long river of history, accompanied by the sound of opera, came layer by layer. Kunqu opera "Peony Pavilion", Qin Cavity "Broken Bridge", commentary drama "Heavenly Girl Scattered Flowers", Sichuan opera "Rolling Lantern", Hebei Zizi "Zhong Kui Marrying Sister", Peking Opera "The Case of Gongmei", many sages and classics and Qiu Jirong met in their dreams, all kinds of brilliance, and gradually retreated into the pursuit of light. After the last look, Qiu Jirong closed his eyes and woke up.

Knowing the user "Doug Egger Lee" commented on "Amazing Hong": "Kill crazy." Don't say tonight, even if you go back three years, it is difficult to find a program that can be compared. "This show made many young audiences who were not familiar with opera also feel the beauty of opera. When I woke up from a dream, unconsciously, I had already fallen, and I was shocked.
In addition, the most beautiful night of 2020 will still not be less than the duel between folk music and Western music - "All Things Sheng".
Zhao Zhao and Wu Tong "Commercial Blowing" (Dog Head)
"Zhao Zhaohe Symphony Orchestra of Iron Strike, Folk Music Player of Flowing Water", the Chinese music master invited by Station B in the first year is the pipa player Fang Jinlong, and this year it is wu Tong, a Grammy Award winner and sheng player.
"All Things Sheng" is a "ten thousand kitchen ecstasy". Wu Tong, Zhao Zhao, and the 100-person Symphony Orchestra frantically "worked" together, playing a number of songs with strong B station attributes: "Black Coffin" BGM, JOJO Golden Wind Execution Song, News Network Opening Song, "Pillow Group" Chant, "Kang Kang Dance Song" and so on.
The "nuclear energy" released in the end is a "beautiful combination" of traditional folk music repertoire and B station ghost animals. The ghost animal clip of "Tom and Jerry" produced by the owner of B Station UP, with the "Knife Club Overture", "Erquan Yingyue", and "Hundred Birds and Phoenix", confirms that grand and interesting are not the two poles of things. Traditional high art, do not have to stay on the "altar" gradually declining, it can also play grounded, play to the hearts of young people.

<h1>forward</h1>
In the year of 2020, Station B has increasingly entered the public eye.
More and more B station users, more and more UP masters, but also brought more and more content demand. In order to let "the videos you are interested in are all in Station B", Station B refines the content partition, promotes brand upgrading, self-made variety show "Rap New Generation" and sets up a label, and launches the film and television drama "The Sky of the Wind Dog Boy", which has more high-scoring boutique content.
In the face of attention from a wider range of people, the vision of Station B is gradually enlarging.
At the party, Miumiu, a 6-year-old guitar girl who is the owner of the B station UP, collaborated with the music UP master from all over the world to complete a song "See You Again". The clear children's sound without impurities has warmed the hearts of countless audiences. UP masters of different skin colors and races sing, harmonize, and accompany across screens around the world. In romance, people forget about fighting, hurting, and estrangement, and are moved by the sheer power of the song. Across regions, across ethnic groups, respect for different cultures, and find a resonance that comes from the depths of human nature.

A B station user commented: "I really think that B station will embrace every culture, and every culture has its place on this stage." ”
The design of programs such as "Amazing Hong", "Sheng of All Things", "Hong Kong Yinong", "Night Sailing Star", "Yellow Race", "Chasing Dreams and Pure Hearts", "Remember Me", "Almost Girl" and other repertoire arrangements, the choice of Tengger, Lang Lang, Rainbow Choir, Zhou Shen, Huang Ling, Cui Jian and many other program performers, the look back on Wuhan when the New Year comes... In the most beautiful night of 2020, Station B lurked its own thinking and attitude: classical romantic heroism, respect for different groups of people and cultures, and integration.
2020 is destined to be an indelible page in the big book of global history.
"It's sick"
The outbreak of the new crown epidemic has made mankind experience many hardships and partings, witnessing magic and reality. People's lives may change drastically, and they may still be as busy as ever, but there will always be more time to talk to themselves after this crisis.
The first debate in the seventh season of "Stranger Things" is: Are you willing to restart your 2020 with one click?
In fact, behind this brain hole, it is also a common problem that the entire human society is facing: how to face 2020, how to turn over this article, and enter the next unknown 2021?
The annual theme film of the New Year's Eve party of Station B is already the best answer.
No more withdrawal.
The teenager gave up the button that could be withdrawn, and said softly and firmly: "They told me that every day leading to the past and the future, there are countless responsibilities, faults, guilt and confessions, but as long as you want, life can still be clear and pure." ”
In 2020, thanks, goodbye.
In 2021, here we are.
Station B "No More Withdrawal"
