As CCTV successively announced the theme and mascot release of the 2024 Spring Festival Gala, instead of longing and expectation, various spoofs and short ** emerged in endlessly, and for a while, the commonly used elements of the Spring Festival Gala programs such as "homophonic stalks", "dumpling smashing", and "hard sensationalism" were ridiculed to the point that "the body is incomplete". I don't know from which year, the Spring Festival Gala that brought countless laughter to the Chinese people on Chinese New Year's Eve has almost become a "street rat", with less praise and more ridicule, the Spring Festival Gala in 2024 will inevitably be under pressure, because if you can't create "jokes", it will inevitably become "jokes".
Since the Spring Festival Gala was launched on CCTV in 1983, it has become a spiritual "Chinese New Year's Eve dinner" for several generations, and once created a festive scene of "the whole world celebrates the prosperity of the world and sings," adding a lot of color to the Spring Festival, the most traditional festival of the Chinese nation. Watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV on Chinese New Year's Eve was once a program that countless families could not shake. Even if you can't watch the live broadcast for special reasons, you often can't wait to find out what wonderful programs are available that night, and you will watch the replay in time the next day. Even for a long time after the Spring Festival, some of the programs of the Spring Festival Gala were topics of conversation after tea and dinner, and some "buzzwords" could even be popular for a year.
The Spring Festival Gala was suitable for all ages, young people imitated the outfits of the host and actors, danced popular dances and sang popular songs, and even middle-aged and elderly people would come to the Spring Festival Gala "golden sentences" every year. Eating dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala seems to be the best reward after a year of hard work. With the sound of "Unforgettable Tonight", this is really the farewell to the old and the welcome to the new, and it is really the New Year.
Why is the 2024 Spring Festival Gala approaching, and there are "banters" and "spoofs" on the Internet one after another?This is probably because the Spring Festival Gala in recent years has made many people "rebel". I don't know when it started, under the glow of the colorful electronic lights, a large group of people jumped up and sang cheerful songs to open, the smiling host greeted the New Year, a few fixed frame sketches, a Chinese opera program in the east and west, north and south, a magic trick that was inexplicable, plus some bells and whistles of singing and dancing, it formed the Spring Festival Gala that was looking forward to a year. Behind the similar misunderstanding, there is a sensational ** plus a few seemingly affectionate words, and then add the lingering essential element of "making dumplings together", the actor can't say that he doesn't work hard, but the audience looks embarrassed.
Think about it again, at the beginning of those classic sketches, those who stopped eating, and those who set off firecrackers in the yard hurriedly ran back to the house, and the family stretched their necks and stared at the screen, for fear of missing a funny moment. And now so many actors cross over to perform sketches, often making some embarrassing works on the bad street.
Time has come to the end of 2023, although with the development of the times, the taste of the year is getting weaker and weaker, but the "Spring Festival Gala" is still an "element" with many topics for the New Year, and it is still a "symbol" of the New Year, and it is not denied that the Spring Festival Gala is becoming more and more difficult, and many viewers are looking forward to it before Chinese New Year's Eve every year, and disappointed after Chinese New Year's Eve every year. Inviting some old comedians such as Zhao Benshan to come out of the mountain is still an expectation that many audiences are unwilling to give up, even if they don't come, then it's funny, it's funny, don't "sensationalize + educate", it's just a relaxed and happy picture, but it can only be exchanged for an embarrassing smile. There are still two months to go before Chinese New Year's Eve, and I hope that the chief director who directed the 2023 Spring Festival Gala, which was not well received, can solicit opinions from many parties, and can change the direction after seeing so many "spoofs" on the Internet, otherwise, there should be more people chasing the Liaoshi Spring Festival Gala and not watching the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Looking forward to change, looking forward to innovation, looking forward to holding the Spring Festival Gala to increase the "jokes", adding some relaxation and happiness after a year of hard work, and retaining such a ceremony for the big guys to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, it can be more exciting, then it can still be an indispensable Spring Festival cultural feast for the Chinese people.
