Does the 2024 Spring Festival Gala need Zhao Benshan's return?
It is rumored on the Internet that Zhao Benshan will return to the 2024 Spring Festival Gala, I think there is a possibility, but it is not very likely.
From the perspective of the audience's expectations, the Spring Festival Gala does need people and programs in the town.
In the past, watching the Spring Festival Gala was a major event for every family, and everything would be stopped, and the family would go around the fireplace. And the most anticipated show by the audience is, of course, Zhao Benshan's sketch. It can be said that there are many viewers who watched the Spring Festival Gala because they were waiting to see Zhao Benshan.
However, since Zhao Benshan left the Spring Festival Gala, an era belonging to Zhao Benshan has come to an end, not only the Zhao Benshan era of the Spring Festival Gala, but also the Zhao Benshan era of sketches.
I guess that Zhao Benshan's departure from the Spring Festival Gala should be due to both the organizers of the Spring Festival Gala and his own reasons.
For its own reasons, Zhao Benshan in the later period has shown fatigue both in terms of physical condition and sketch creation. No one's body will be forever young, and no one's creation will be forever young.
In fact, Zhao Benshan's later creations are basically cultivating and assisting his apprentices, and it is difficult for him to be competent for high-intensity creation and performance, so he is willing to be a green leaf and achieve others.
Zhao Benshan's withdrawal from the Spring Festival Gala is in line with the law, but unfortunately, with his withdrawal, many viewers also faded out of the Spring Festival Gala.
The Spring Festival Gala without a giant platform gradually lost its appeal.
Now the culture has become more and more diverse, and it is likely impossible for the Spring Festival Gala to return to its previous popularity. Even if Zhao Benshan returns, it won't change anything. What's more, is he still willing to toss himself again?
Let's wait and see what surprises the 2024 Spring Festival Gala can bring us.
