As the end of 2023 approaches, preparations are already underway for the 2024 Spring Festival Gala. A few days ago, the @春晚 officially announced the theme of the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon, "Dragon Xing Lu Xinxin Family Country", and the topic of the program and actors in the comment area was hotly discussed.
Someone appealed: The Spring Festival Gala sketches need more joyful elements, and don't be limited to "dumplings dumplings". There are also people who advocate: refuse traffic stars to perform sketches, and let professional comedians return to the stage.
Behind this call, it reflects the current situation that the Spring Festival Gala has lost its charm in recent years. Those former classic Spring Festival Galas made us laugh again and again, and they were all the more precious because of unexpected mistakes.
01 Ni Ping: 4 blank pieces of paper almost ruined the career The successful holding of the Spring Festival Gala in 1983 has since become a fixed ritual for us to watch the Spring Festival Gala every year.
Especially in the first decade, entertainment resources are relatively scarce, and it is rare to watch a large-scale party when bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. However, because the Spring Festival Gala is a live broadcast form, neither the host nor the actor can tolerate the slightest mistake, otherwise it will bring a bad experience to the audience and may even ruin his career.
In the 1991 Spring Festival Gala, Ni Ping, who was emerging in the hosting industry at that time, served as the host of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, partnering with Zhao Zhongxiang, which can be described as a spring breeze.
Ni Ping's Spring Festival Gala debut almost ruined her career, and the program temporarily added a link to read letters from the audience. The staff handed her an envelope and told her that it contained four letters of blessing for her to read out in the next session.
She took the envelope without much thought, but when she opened it, she found that it contained four blank sheets of paper. She instantly felt a blankness, and goosebumps crawled all over her body in an instant.
She remained calm and said firmly: "We have received many telegrams and ** from more than 30 provinces and municipalities across the country, as well as from Hong Kong and Macao compatriots and overseas ChineseAt that moment, what she thought in her heart was that there were more than a billion pairs of eyes staring at her, and she couldn't have the slightest panic.
So, after a short hesitation, she began to "create". She regained her calm smile and began to "tell" the contents of the letter in a subdued tone. She successively used the soldiers of the Nansha Islands, the armed police force of the Pamirs, and the overseas Chinese on the other side of the ocean as the owners of the letters, expressing their blessings to the motherland and the people.
During the whole process, she was full of emotion, her expression was calm, and even her eyes were still moving on the paper, giving people the feeling of telling word by word, and everything seemed to be flawless.
But if someone looks closely, they will find that Ni Ping's hands are shaking all the time. And after she made up three letters, she was also a little overwhelmed. After going back and forth through the paper a few times, she gave up on continuing to tell, she said: "There are so many letters like this, I won't tell them one by one."
This is the end of the session.
The director team was on the other side of the stage and had already sensed the problem. As the camera skimmed over the letters, they could clearly see that there was not a single word on them. Not only Ni Ping, but the director also pinched a cold sweat for this.
However, with her superb acting skills and solid professional skills, Ni Ping made up a "big lie" in front of the national audience, pushing the atmosphere of reunion to a climax.
* After that, she was hugged tightly by the director excitedly as a token of gratitude. Because, if it weren't for Ni Ping's excellent improvisation, a major Spring Festival Gala accident would be unavoidable, which is a consequence that neither the director nor Ni Ping can bear.
Ni Ping's outstanding performance made her famous and a dazzling star, and every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, she would stand on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and accompany us to spend it together.
Uncle Zhao Benshan is the happy expectation that we stay in front of the TV every year, and his sketches can always make us laugh and see the shadow of life from it. Since the 1990 Spring Festival Gala "Blind Date" was well-known, Zhao Benshan has spent 21 Chinese New Year's Eve with us.
Although each of his sketches is different and exciting, 2006's "Talking Things" is undoubtedly the most unforgettable. At that time, Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan walked on the stage, and Zhao Benshan was still holding a boxed lunch in his hand and eating it with relish.
When they took their seats, they realized that the prop bag had been forgotten on the stage. In an instant, Zhao Benshan panicked, and Song Dandan was also anxious, but there was no way to solve it. After all, their next performance requires "Confinement 2" to be taken out of the bag, and without the bag, the show cannot continue.
Faced with such a critical situation, Zhao Benshan did not panic, he glanced at Song Dandan and signaled that he wanted to take the bag.
With the support of many years of tacit understanding, Song Dandan keenly captured this signal. She seized the moment, and when Choi Yongyuan walked on stage, she greeted him with an exaggerated gesture, successfully attracting the attention of the audience.
At the same time, the director team was also very cooperative, aiming the camera lenses at Song Dandan and Cui Yongyuan. Zhao Benshan quickly turned around and left the stage and walked to the prop bag on the side.
In that year, we saw Uncle Zhao turn away, thinking that he was just going to throw the lunch box, but in fact, that was his real stunt. The whole sketch performance was brilliant and the audience responded enthusiastically.
However, Zhao Benshan, as a performer, was under tremendous pressure, so he couldn't help crying during the break. Song Dandan later recalled this performance, and said happily that he was fortunate to be on the stage, otherwise the gods would not be able to save him.
However, it is not always possible to be so lucky, and once the partner cannot cooperate in time, it is inevitable that there will be problems in the performance. In the 2011 Spring Festival Gala, when Zhao Benshan and Wang Xiaoli performed the sketch "You at the Same Table", because of the 6-second error, the effect of the sketch was greatly reduced, which became the last straw that crushed Zhao Benshan.
The skit went well at first, but something went wrong while drinking.
On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Wang Xiaoli should have said the sentence: "Watch Zhao Benshan's sketch for a while!."However, he was so addicted to eating and drinking that he forgot all his lines.
This moment's negligence made Zhao Benshan and Xiao Shenyang feel very panicked. Seeing that Wang Xiaoli hadn't come back to his senses, Uncle Zhao had no choice but to gently touch his arm with a rolling pin as a reminder.
Wang Xiaoli hurriedly picked up the lines, but it was too late.
Next, the prelude to the song that Xiao Shenyang was about to sing had already sounded, and he had to make a gesture to indicate that he was going to start singing, otherwise the rest of the content would not be able to keep up with the rhythm.
Therefore, Zhao Benshan's sentence behind Wang Xiaoli, "Look at our elegant people, look at his things are too vulgar", overlapped with Xiao Shenyang's singing, resulting in a discount on the effect of the show.
Zhao Benshan's last performance on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala made him feel pressured, and even fainted after **. Since then, we can no longer see his wonderful sketches on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, which is a pity.
Similarly, Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi are also popular sketch actors, and their "Eating Noodles" was a huge success in the 1984 Spring Festival Gala, so that the novel performance form of sketch can be preserved on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to this day.
They became an instant hit on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and began an 11-year journey. However, in the Spring Festival Gala in 1990, they encountered an accident while performing "The Leading Role and Supporting Role".
When Zhu Shimao was performing the action of drawing a gun, the strap of his prop gun suddenly broke. This prop is an important part of the next performance, and if it can't be fixed in time, the whole show will be greatly compromised.
However, this strap is made of old cowhide, which is very strong, and it has been rehearsed dozens of times before without problems, but it went wrong at this critical moment. Whatever caused the accident, the most important thing is to fix the strap as soon as possible.
Zhu Shimao could only try to repair the tape while performing, and tried at least 3 times before and after.
When Chen Peisi interacted frequently with the audience, Zhu Shimao immediately lowered his head to check the props. However, this attempt was unsuccessful, so for the rest of the performance, he had to hold on to the matching gun.
Despite this, he was not discouraged, but while cooperating with Chen Peisi's performance, he continued to adjust and fiddle with props in the gap between speaking lines. After two attempts, the item still won't return to normal.
Seeing that the roles of the two were exchanged, Zhu Shimao had no choice but to tie the strap tightly and tie a knot, and deliberately exerted all his strength with both hands, obviously worried that the props would break again after a while.
This knot makes the strap shrink significantly, and when Chen Peisi is worn cross-body, the image becomes more and more ridiculous, making the positive and negative roles of the two more prominent.
The design was met with thunderous applause. At that time, we mistakenly thought that this was a joke in a sketch, but we didn't expect to create a classic because of it. Although Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi's calm response avoided that performance accident, it was not always possible to save the day.
In the Spring Festival Gala in 1998, they performed "The King and the Postman", and problems followed.
As soon as Zhu Shimao took the stage, the microphone accidentally slipped off, making him unable to speak normally. In order not to make the audience hear clearly, he could only rely on Chen Peisi's microphone, although the two were sometimes far apart, Zhu Shimao also had to try his best to improve his voice to complete the lines.
Chen Peisi tried to pin the microphone back to Zhu Shimao, but the result was not ideal.
On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, every actor wants to show their best. Sometimes, however, accidents shatter that expectation. Take the 2001 Spring Festival Gala's "Selling Abduction" as an example, although the performances of Zhao Benshan, Gao Xiumin and Fan Wei made the audience laugh and became a hot topic that year, but who knows how much effort and sweat they put into this show?
Among them, Fan Wei finally chose to withdraw from the Spring Festival Gala stage because of an accident at the show, and regrettably ended the performance. Nowadays, we can only remember those performers on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala by revisiting those classics and recalling those happy times.
The Spring Festival Gala program has an extremely strict control of time, and the duration of each program is even accurate to the second. On the day of the live broadcast, the director team temporarily decided to add a 3-minute program, which meant that other programs had to make time for this new program.
In the end, Zhao Benshan accepted the challenge, and he decided to streamline the show "Selling Abduction", but due to the tight time, there was not enough time for rehearsals, so he could only rely on on-site improvisation.
Therefore, it was originally planned that Fan Wei would only speak his lines after riding a bicycle around the stage twice, but in the actual performance, he only rode halfway, and Gao Xiumin began to speak the words.
Fan Wei encountered a sudden change during the performance, which made him a little overwhelmed, but he quickly adjusted his state, stabilized his position, and successfully caught Gao Xiumin's words.
Since then, their performances have also been excellent, and the tacit cooperation of the three has formed a unique "iron triangle" combination, creating many classic works, such as "Selling Cars" and "Kung Fu".
However, the first time he appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he encountered such a big challenge and crisis, which brought a lot of psychological pressure to Fan Wei. It was under such pressure that he said the wrong word at the beginning of the 2005 "Kung Fu" performance, saying "lend you a pair of discerning eyes" to "lend you a pair of discerning eyes".
When he mentioned "very 6+1" later, he mistakenly said it as "very 6+7". Because his character setting is humorous, the audience does not realize that this is a mistake, but feels that the script is designed this way.
By mistake, the effect of the program did not decrease but increased, and even became a hot word on the Internet at that time. "Very 6+7" unexpectedly became a buzzword in people's mouths. Although Fan Wei broke down and cried at that moment, he felt that he had reached his limit and never wanted to go on stage again.
However, after he turned around and left, he went farther and farther on the road of film and television actors, which is also a kind of blooming light. 05 Shen Teng: Turn mistakes into "burdens" sketches on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, because "old people" continue to leave, and it is difficult to have original joy anymore.
The sketches over the years have always been complained about as "moving China". However, Shen Teng stood out in the increasingly "declining" sketch performances and became the comedy leader in recent years.
His Spring Festival Gala sketches can always win laughter and applause from the audience. However, if you want to talk about mistakes, Shen Teng is also a big family. Over the years, whether it is forgetting words or actions, it has happened more than once.
Among them, the most classic is the forgetting of words caused by Shen Teng's selflessness in "Help or Not". At that time, when Shen Teng was lying on the ground imitating the old lady, he was too involved in pretending to be in pain, and he didn't answer Mary's lines directly.
At that moment, Mary's mind was in turmoil, but she remained composed, and after a pause, she repeated firmly: "That's not my bike."
It was also at this moment that Shen Teng suddenly realized and quickly took over the conversation. The cooperation between the two is seamless, but it gives people a natural sense of harmony"Laughs"It is naturally good and has become a classic in recent years.
When Shen Teng first appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, there was a small mistake. During the performance of "Today's Happiness 1", he had an action of taking money out of his pocket, but he did not clean it, and there was a 100 yuan bill hanging on the side of his pocket.
However, Shen Teng behaved very calmly, continued to perform, and threw out the banknotes at the right time, which did not affect the presentation of the show. In "Today's Happiness 2" the next year, he forgot the words again and said "It's me, Hao Jian with a clear conscience" as "what a strange stay".
When cooperating with the scenes and actions at the time, Shen Teng's mistakes made the performance more appropriate and full of jokes. Although Shen Teng has become popular all the way in the mistakes along the way, he has a wealth of experience in facing unexpected situations.
However, in this year's Spring Festival Gala, the "Pit" program was really surprising, and even made the director team activate an emergency plan. At the beginning of the show, Mary accidentally dropped an extra heel, but this didn't make much of a difference to the performance, and she calmly picked it up and carried it in her pocket.
The audience also thought that this was the setting in the show.
Shen Teng's spare microphone accidentally slipped, but fortunately, the main microphone was intact and the sound transmission was not affected. He tactfully looked for an opportunity to put the spare microphone back in place.
When shooting the "open screen" effect of Mary's down jacket, Shen Teng failed to shoot a few feathers for the first time, so he had to strengthen his strength again and reshoot it to show the "open screen" effect of flying feathers.
When Shen Teng was talking to Allen, he temporarily changed his lines because he forgot the words, which made Allen feel a little confused. Although he made a series of mistakes, the whole skit rhythm did not go as expected, and the duration was less than 2 minutes less than the original plan.
However, despite this, Shen Teng's sketches are still loved by everyone. In the next Spring Festival Gala, will he bring more surprises?The mistake of the Spring Festival Gala in 2007 may be the most serious in the history of the Spring Festival Gala.
The accident occurred before the zero o'clock time of the "accident-frequent", and from the time Zhang Zequn sent the couplet, a series of mistakes followed. According to the original plan, Zhang Zequn read the upper couplet, Liu Fangfei read the lower couplet, and then read the horizontal batch together.
In this link, Zhang Zequn may have made a mistake because of nervousness, not only reciting the wrong couplet, but also reciting the entire couplet. Liu Fangfei next to her could only try her best to keep smiling, but this mistake had an impact on the mentality of several other hosts.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Li Yong, who is good at enlivening the atmosphere, picked up the microphone and began to speak impromptuly: "Oh, we are about to send off the Year of Bingxu and usher in the Year of Dinghai." In the new year, our six hosts would also like to send our blessings to the audience and friends on the scene and in front ......of the TV, especially the mothers who gave birth to babies this year”
Zhu Jun mixed some tone words in the hosting style of the Spring Festival Gala, which was not very harmonious with the overall atmosphere of the party. At this time, Zhu Jun suddenly interrupted Li Yong's words and began to predict that the New Year's bell was about to ring.
Li Yong obviously didn't expect to be interrupted by Zhu Jun, he was very surprised, and even snatched Zhu Jun's words and said, "Let's count down." ”
The atmosphere at that time was obviously a little tense, which made the hosting scene a little chaotic. Everyone became cautious and did not dare to interject at will. So when Liu Fangfei said, "As the spring bell rings, let us ...... our most heartfelt and best wishes for the New Year."No one answered, and there was an awkward blank at the scene.
In this awkward silence, Zhou Tao continued: "Spread on the land of the motherland......."But Li Yong snatched the sentence: "Sow in the hearts of every Chinese."
Zhou Tao smiled bitterly, probably a little flustered in her heart, so when Zhu Jun was about to count down, she actually said in a big way: "There are still 15 seconds." ”
After Zhu Jun completed the zero-point broadcast, he made another slip of the tongue in the blessing link. Although we can't know the inner feelings of the other hosts on stage at that time, the torturous three minutes are finally over.
This major accident provided a valuable lesson for the organization of the Spring Festival Gala, and it has never been repeated. In the Spring Festival Gala in 2021, Ren Luyu successfully resolved an accident and avoided the accident with his excellent reaction ability.
In the course of the program, 90 seconds were freed up due to the deviation of the previous program duration. In this embarrassing gap period, the host Ren Luyu took the initiative to take the responsibility of saving the scene.
After all the hosts sent their blessings, he raised the microphone many times, sent his blessings, interacted with the audience, and finally completed the countdown perfectly.
In the process, the confidence and passion he showed was so impressive that it was completely unclear that this was his temporary performance. If it weren't for Zhu Jun's later gratitude to Ren Luyu on social **, we might not have known about this thrilling 90 seconds at all.
This rescue will become a brilliant stroke in the history of the Spring Festival Gala. Written at the end: In the blink of an eye, 2023 is about to pass, and we will usher in the Spring Festival Gala of the new year.
Recalling those classic Spring Festival Gala moments, I can't help but sigh that those actors who have spent Chinese New Year's Eve with us one after another have left the stage for many years. While reminiscing about the classics again and again, I also deeply admire the workers of the Spring Festival Gala who turned decay into magic.
What kind of surprises will the Spring Festival Gala in 2024 bring us!End of this article.
