There is nothing we have hoped for more than the annual Chinese New Year.
In addition to good food and drink, there are also new clothes to wear, and family gatherings add a lot of fun to the boring life.
On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the ** Spring Festival Gala has become a traditional must do for every household. For Chinese, if they don't watch the Spring Festival Gala, it seems that something will be missing this year.
Sketches are the most popular form of programs, suitable for all ages, and can bring us the most joy.
However, in recent years, mobile phones and tablets have gradually replaced this joy, and the Spring Festival Gala is no longer the focus of attention, and the audience is increasingly dissatisfied with its programs and actors.
What attitude should we take towards this change?Does the Spring Festival Gala itself need to be reformed and innovated?
These sketch actors themselves actually have big problems, and it is not unreasonable for the audience to complain wildly about their performances.
The Spring Festival Gala sketch must have the dual characteristics of humor and irony, which can not only arouse the audience's laughter, but also reflect the real situation of society, so as to meet the qualified standards.
It should have solid content, capture the details of life that are closest to ordinary people, and present it to the audience in an exaggerated and humorous way.
Since the first ten years, the Spring Festival Gala sketches have become a beautiful landscape with their unique charm.
Mr. Ma Ji's performance of "Universe Brand Cigarettes" sharply satirized the exaggerated and false advertising claims in the market at the time, which resonated strongly with the audience.
Feng Gong's "Thief Company", a collaboration between Feng Gong and Niu Qun, reveals the absurdity of some units that are too large and overstaffed, and at the same time brings joyful laughter to the audience.
Zhao Lirong's "So Packaged" shows a high degree of foresight, although at the time it was a criticism of the phenomenon of over-packaging traditional art.
However, in retrospect, it seems to fit very well with the current situation in the entertainment industry, showing that it is not outdated.
"Part-time Job" is a criticism of the practice of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep in the catering industry, and every audience remembers the classic lines.
These genres are loved by audiences for their clear themes, sharp critiques of current events, and a sense of humor.
They mock the common memory of the masses in a humorous and witty way, while bravely exposing the ills of the current society.
It is precisely because of the authors' creative courage and deep understanding of the lives of ordinary people that these sketches can be passed down in the classics.
Nowadays, however, content censorship is becoming more and more stringent, which puts more pressure on actors and screenwriters.
They have to be more careful in their creations so as not to touch some taboo areas.
This has led to the difficulty of many original and innovative works to pass the censorship, and the creative vitality of the Spring Festival Gala is gradually suppressed.
The aesthetic fatigue of the audience group has become a major problem, and at the same time.
They already know everything about the world, so it's hard to satisfy them with superficial humor alone.
At the same time, some performers began to experience creative difficulties.
They often do their best to extract material from Internet hotspots to create jokes, resulting in the same lines.
It is no longer possible to bring true joy to the audience as it used to.
Many in the audience were already able to even anticipate the next plot development, which undoubtedly weakened the appeal of the work itself.
In general, in order to give the Spring Festival Gala sketches a new lease of life and regain their former glory, actors need to take the first step in creation.
They have to work the classic characters, and keep drawing on the much-praised acting and humor of their predecessors in order to keep them fresh.
Actors need to be bold enough to break free from limitations and dare to use humor and satire to show all aspects of today's society.
Only works that reveal true feelings can make the audience get inner comfort in joy and become the focus of every household gathering in front of the TV during the Spring Festival.
This kind of work can not only educate people in joy, but also make people laugh, for ordinary people, it will always be the happiest gift on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Cai Ming pointed out that the face after plastic surgery is more mean, and the role he plays has become simpler.
She has been on the Spring Festival Gala for more than 20 years and has become a classic of the Spring Festival Gala in the hearts of many generations.
The early stages of his collaboration with Guo Da, as well as his later partnership with Pan Changjiang, created several classic images for him and shaped his own unique representative works.
However, as Cai Ming enters middle age, the limitations of her performance style become more and more apparent.
She constantly shapes her image within a specific range, playing mostly similar roles that lack freshness.
Tsai Ming's face is as sharp as her character, giving an uncomfortable feeling, and plastic surgery and makeup make her appearance even more annoying, and the audience can't like her.
She must realize that she is no longer a young girl, that her current situation may no longer be suitable for her, and that accepting natural aging is more likely to make people feel relatable.
The jokes she presented at the Spring Festival Gala are usually well-known to the public and have been used repeatedly, which are seriously out of touch with the fashion preferences of young people and lack innovation. In addition, therefore, when seeing these "outdated" items again, people will inevitably feel bored, and even have some disgust, and even dislike Cai Ming's performance.
Why is Cai Ming's performance method lacking innovation?
Tsai Ming relied too much on her "signature" — exaggerated tone and expression — rather than a creative sketch actor.
Obsessed with past successes, she couldn't get out of the situation and missed the precious opportunity to keep up with the times.
A new generation of sketch actors has emerged, and Cai Ming, the "old man", has repeatedly disappointed the audience, unable to show a better performance, and can only leave the stage regretfully.
Maybe that's why the audience labeled her a "bastard".
What should she do in this situation?Does she still have a chance to turn things around?
She needs to start from her personal efforts and take on each new stage with a positive attitude to expand the field of performance.
Don't limit yourself to the familiar group of "middle-aged women", but pay attention to the broader dynamics of life and the preferences of young people, and polish and innovate on the basis of traditional language.
Of course, the most important thing is to dare to try new forms of performance, and you need to think outside the box.
I hope that Cai Ming can surprise the audience in the new year, show her potential to surpass herself, and achieve a counterattack.
For a performing artist, innovation is life, after all.
Pan Changjiang and Huang Xiaojuan's joint performance sketch once caused a sensation in the Spring Festival Gala, and the ensuing song "Crossing the River" was also all the rage.
The veteran comedians added a lot of joy to the Spring Festival Gala, and the audience laughed out loud because of it, which is undeniable.
His sketch "Station Adventure" once left a deep impression.
However, as the times have changed, so have the trends.
Pan Changjiang and Cai Ming have been circulating in commercial routines for many years, and the lack of innovation has led to aesthetic fatigue among the audience.
It is difficult for the new Spring Festival Gala sketch to resonate with the audience, but it is more like "I say mine, you listen to you".
The attitude of the audience is also casual and casual, turning on the TV and letting it play, each playing with their mobile phones, using the program in front of the screen as the background**.
In the new era, the younger generation is dominated by Douyin short**, and the only reason that attracts them is the word "new". The trend of the times is like the wheel of time, which cannot be stopped.
Budding comedians shine on stage, the east wind prevails, and the older generation of actors can only provide advice behind the scenes.
Pan Changjiang then seized the tide of the times again, and Douyin developed rapidly, and he also followed the tide of live broadcast to join it.
Celebrities are racing to grab the limelight of the live streaming era, and they use their fame and influence to attract more attention.
In less than two years, the veteran comedian's image has undergone a crazy transformation, which has immediately attracted a wave of criticism.
Netizens let out constant noisy cries, and the scolding has become the only echo.
Former loyal followers have left, no longer daring to have faith in the idols they once trusted.
Pan Changjiang has lost his original dignity as an artist in Vanity Fair, and his image has completely changed at the moment.
Pan Changjiang brought goods, and as a result, the problem of fake wine became the biggest problem.
He uses the best low-cost liquor to take advantage of his unique passenger flow.
Not only did they sell fake liquor, but they were also accused of spreading false information, claiming to have in-depth cooperation with the liquor brand Moutai.
In reality, they did not cooperate at all, which is completely fictional.
Moutai quickly responded, saying that it was just a gimmick for them to make money and publicity, and had nothing to do with the company.
Pan Changjiang lost his status as a star this time, and his image has changed dramatically in the past two years.
He was attracted by the ** of money, which led him to abandon his usual image of a veteran artist and only pay attention to traffic and hot searches.
Hot search topics are changing, and ways to make money are endless, but Pan Changjiang's career is facing a decline.
The audience's enthusiasm was short-lived, and in the blink of an eye they had more options.
Money is the more valuable thing in the hands.
Once an old artist has abandoned his character for money, he is worthless.
His image as an old artist has been drowned by the torrent of money and has disappeared from the hearts of the audience.
Nowadays, there is only the falling contrast between the past and the present on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, which also caused more boos and insults.
Pan Changjiang has made certain achievements in the field of comedy in the past, but unfortunately at a critical moment in his life, he chose the wrong direction and embarked on a path of no return.
We can't help but wonder: where will his comedic life end?Even he himself didn't know the end of the scene.
Jia Bing is hilarious in variety shows and has superb acting skills, but he can't perform sketches.
As a post-80s comedian, Jia Bing has frequently appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala over the years.
However, in recent years, his performance in the Spring Festival Gala sketches has been frequently criticized by the audience, accusing his performance of being too exaggerated and deliberately sensational.
Jia Bing's comedy career was thus overshadowed.
In 2022, Jia Bing will once again walk on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and present the sketch "Red Envelopes".
Although this sketch still continues the tradition of being funny first and then sensational, it has incorporated the suggestions put forward by some netizens and added more jokes.
However, despite this, the overall effect still failed to satisfy the audience, and the strong emotional rendering of the ending caused the audience to be disgusted.
Jia Bing once again became the focus of complaints on the whole network, which sparked heated discussions.
The hit crime suspense drama "Hurricane" in January 2023 brought Jia Bing an unexpected gain, just when he was ridiculed and ridiculed by the whole network for his sketch performance.
Jia Bing plays a villain with a great comedic effect in the play, especially in the climax, and his superb performance injects more tension into the character.
His image in the sketch contrasts sharply with this.
In fact, Jia Bing is not without comedic talent.
When he creates comedy works, he always subconsciously wants to add feelings to the plot, which restricts his creative freedom and makes it difficult for his works to achieve the expected comedic effect.
In the variety show "Let's Go Now", Jia Bing participated in the interaction throughout the whole process with a humorous and humorous attitude, relaxed his mood, and successfully "exploded a lot of stalks", winning the recognition and praise of the audience.
Jia Bing only needs to release his creative passion to win more favor from the audience and show more charm.
The evaluation of the Spring Festival Gala is mixed, and there are different opinions.
The Spring Festival Gala should keep pace with the times, and at the same time maintain the fundamental characteristics of literature and art.
It needs to go on and on how to strike a balance between the two.
The Spring Festival Gala still has a long way to go, can we maintain the public's love without losing the high-quality connotation of the works?This is a mystery that has not yet been solved.
