"Dragon" symbolizes that everyone who chases their dreams can move forward proudly like a majestic dragon. The announcement of this theme makes people look forward to the upcoming Spring Festival Gala.
It is reported that CCTV's 2024 Spring Festival Gala has already begun to set up various program groups, including language, song and dance, creative and other director groups. This means that each program group has more autonomy and creative space, and will surely present a more diverse, novel and unique evening party for the audience. On December 2, the "2024 Spring Festival Gala Official Announcement" instantly appeared on Weibo's hot search, causing widespread heated discussions.
The word "龘" plays a crucial role in this theme. This rare word is eye-catching, reminiscent of the popular song "Rare Words" a few years ago. The "dragon walking in the song" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become a symbol of people's expectations for the New Year. The theme choice of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala once again highlights their emphasis on traditional culture and their vision for the future.
However, the more anticipated news is that the official Weibo of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala announced the theme and logo of the 2024 CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Dragon. This news made netizens' attention instantly focus on the two veterans of the Spring Festival Gala - Zhao Benshan and Chen Peisi.
Zhao Benshan, the "leader" of the Spring Festival Gala language programs, his works have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Since his first appearance on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 1988, with his superb performance and unique creative style, he has established a legendary status on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. A series of sketches such as "Blind Date", "New Year's Greetings", "Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow" have become classics that the audience talks about. In his later years, he put down his personal honor and supported his apprentices to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and became popular with new forces such as Xiao Shenyang, Yadan, and Wang Xiaoli in one fell swoop.
Chen Peisi, a comedy genius on the same level as Zhao Benshan, is respected as the "sketch king". He collaborated with Zhu Shimao to perform a series of classic sketches, such as "Pepper Noodles", "Protagonist and Supporting Role", "Police and Thief", etc., all of which made the audience laugh. Although he bid farewell to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in 1988, Chen Peisi's name has always remained in the memory of the audience, looking forward to him shining on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again.

These two comedians have injected indelible charm into the CCTV Spring Festival Gala with their unique humorous style and exquisite performance skills. However, the jury is still out on whether they will be able to take the stage again. Although the call is high, it may take time and more news to be revealed.
The reason why Zhao Benshan and Chen Peisi dominate the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is not only because of their superb performance skills, but also because their works always adhere to a consistent comedy style. is different from some of today's commercial and pretentious programs, Zhao Benshan once said: "The people need to be happy so much, they have been educated for a year, and they will not be educated during the New Year." "Their work is designed to provoke laughter in the audience, rather than create contradictions and misunderstandings, and end with a touching ending.
This kind of sincere and profound comedy is hard to find in today's shows. In an anxious and fast-paced society, people are more eager to release stress and find inner peace through laughter. The works of Zhao Benshan and Chen Peisi have become such comedy representatives, using simple and sincere laughter to convey the love of life and the understanding of human nature. The power of comedy breaks the dullness.
With the development of society and the diversification of entertainment methods, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is also constantly trying to innovate. However, from the audience's eager anticipation, we can see people's strong yearning for traditional culture and classic performances. Comedy is not only entertainment, but also a tool to convey emotions and elicit empathy.
