As the New Year's bell gradually rings, the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala has also entered the final sprint stage. Those stars who shine in the entertainment industry, such as Jackie Chan, Shen Teng, Ma Li, etc., have appeared one after another, ready to present the most wonderful performances for the national audience on Chinese New Year's Eve. I remember when I was a child, we always eagerly looked forward to the arrival of the Spring Festival Gala, especially those humorous and witty sketch shows full of life. At that time, Chen Peisi and Zhao Benshan's sketches were a must-have meal for every family, bringing us countless laughter and surprises every year.
With the passage of time, the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is constantly updated. Nowadays, the sketch actors who once grew up with us have gradually faded out of the stage, replaced by batches of fresh faces. However, we can never forget those classic sketches that once brought us laughter, such as Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's "Eating Noodles", which created a precedent for Spring Festival Gala sketches and allowed us to see an unprecedented way of performing.
Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's sketches, although the props are simple and the scenes are simple, can always touch the emotions in our hearts. Their sketches are not only performances, but also a kind of life attitude and life philosophy transmission. On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, they dared to try and innovate, presenting us with one classic after another.
However, life is always full of twists and turns. Chen Peisi was forced to leave the stage of the Spring Festival Gala because of a lawsuit with CCTV. Although he later turned to the field of drama and made cameo appearances in some film and television works, he never returned to the Spring Festival Gala stage that made him famous.
At the same time, Zhao Benshan, as the sketch king after Chen Peisi, has become one of the most dazzling stars on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala with his outstanding talent and unique performance style. His sketches are not only humorous, but also full of profound life insights, which always resonate and applaud the audience.
Nowadays, although we have grown up**, those Spring Festival Gala sketches that once accompanied us to grow up still remain in the depths of our memories. Whenever we think of those classic sketch shows, we will always be full of emotion. They are not only the memories of our youth, but also a beautiful scenery in our life journey.
On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhao Benshan, Guo Da and Huang Hong, the three sketch masters, left countless classics and brought countless laughter to the audience. Their skits every year create new buzzwords that give the audience a strong sense of dependence and intimacy. But as time went by, their age increased, their physical condition gradually declined, and under the high pressure of the Spring Festival Gala, they began to be powerless.
In 2012, Zhao Benshan announced his withdrawal from the Spring Festival Gala stage because of disagreements with director Ha Wen. This news made many viewers feel lost, and the expectations of the Spring Festival Gala have also decreased a lot. Guo Da began to cooperate with Cai Ming for more than 20 consecutive years in 1987 to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and their performance style is full of positive energy and educational significance. However, after 2011, Guo Da also suddenly announced his retirement from the Spring Festival Gala stage and rarely appeared in public. According to ** report, Guo Da's physical condition has been difficult to adapt to the high pressure and high-intensity pressure of the Spring Festival Gala.
Huang Hong is one of the most outstanding sketch actors, he has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala 24 times, leaving many classics. His sketch style is humorous and witty, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, after 2013, Huang Hong also withdrew from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and became the director of Bayi Film Studio. Despite his busy schedule, he continued to pursue his artistic career and kept coming out with new works.
Today, these three sketch masters are getting old and rarely appear in public. Their departure left a huge vacancy on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and also made many audiences feel lost and regretful. However, the classics they left behind will forever remain in people's hearts and become the memory of the times. In 2016, Jin Yuting starred in the movie "Blood Wolf Dog", and then showed her unique directing talent by directing the movie "Everything is Like You". Over the years, she has never stopped creating and has been working silently in the field of art.
As early as 2003, Jin Yuting and Yan Ni appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala together, and cooperated with Guo Donglin in "My Father and I Change Roles". Subsequently, she collaborated with Pan Changjiang in "Love to the End", Sun Tao in "Military Wife on the Island", with Huang Hong in "Beautiful Embarrassment", and with Feng Gong in "Warm Winter", and won the second and third prizes in the sketch program consecutively. This made Jin Yuting quickly emerge from a little-known actor and was known as the "sketch princess".
However, Jin Yuting was caught in an affair with the director at the peak of her career, which made her have to withdraw from the Spring Festival Gala stage. The stress and inner struggle caused her to suffer from severe depression and even wanted to give up her life at one point. Fortunately, her family was always by her side to help her get out of that haze. Nowadays, we can see Jin Yuting in many public welfare and charity activities, and she gives back to the society with practical actions.
Niu Li, who has also experienced ups and downs in her life, has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala eight times, and suffered from depression due to long-term high-intensity work. Under pressure, she chose to withdraw from the Spring Festival Gala stage and shifted the focus of her life to her family. Today, Niu Li is still the "good daughter-in-law of the nation" in our eyes, her smile is still bright, although her appearance has changed, but the cordiality and enthusiasm have not changed.
Gao Xiumin is a bright star on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and in 1998, he cooperated with Zhao Benshan in "New Year's Greetings" to start his journey of the Spring Festival Gala. At that time, the "Iron Triangle" Zhao Benshan, Gao Xiumin and Fan Wei accompanied the audience for many years. Whether it is "Selling Cars", "Selling Abduction" on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala or "Liu Laogen", Gao Xiumin is Zhao Benshan's indispensable partner. However, the two parted ways due to a performance conflict, which left the audience with endless regrets.
Zhao Lirong is a well-deserved sketch queen, and her performance on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is unmatched. In 1999, Zhao Lirong was tortured by advanced lung cancer, but she still insisted on completing her last performance in the Spring Festival Gala. In 2000, Zhao Lirong passed away, and tens of thousands of fans spontaneously came to see her off to express their endless respect for this artist of both virtue and art. For the post-90s audience, it is undoubtedly a happy experience to be able to witness the rise of these sketch actors.
Those sketch actors who accompanied us through our youth left the stage of the Spring Festival Gala one by one, and also took away the youth memories of several generations. Nowadays, the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is no longer human, and the once familiar faces are no longer there, but we are still looking forward to which sketch actor can return to the stage and bring us laughter and touch. In this year's Spring Festival Gala, there may be new faces, but that expectation and enthusiasm will never change.
