On the afternoon of February 4, CCTV completed the fourth rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon. After careful preparation, the Tagou performance team took the stage again and successfully completed the performance task. Unlike previous years, these kung fu boys will appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala more than once this year, but will participate in three shows. In the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon, these martial arts programs characterized by strength and vitality also incorporated more dragon elements. On Chinese New Year's Eve, how will they "fight" with the dragon? It's exciting.
Among the three programs, there are participating in the opening song and dance, there are programs with Baduanjin as the main content, and there are also martial arts programs that highlight the 'dragon', with a total of 88 participants. Without too many spoilers, the team leader "clicked to the point" when introducing the situation.
This is the 21st time in 22 years that Tagou Martial Arts School has participated in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, but what seems "logical" to outsiders is "getting more and more difficult" for the team, because innovation has to be made every year. In order to prepare for this year's Spring Festival Gala, Tagou Martial Arts School began preparations as early as May last year, and set up a special preparatory team to be responsible for program creativity, arrangement and personnel selection. "Considering that this year is the Year of the Dragon, and martial arts is a dynamic project, from the initial idea, we considered how to integrate dragon elements into the martial arts program, and use martial arts to show the 'living dragon and tiger' and 'dragon and horse spirit', and this idea was also recognized by the director team of the Spring Festival Gala. Coach Wang Shen said, "For more than half a year, we have been in communication with the CCTV director team, and have made many modifications in various aspects such as costumes, props, and action choreography, and constantly improved the details, and finally formed the current program form. ”
From the beginning to the maturity of the program, the difficulty of the performance is getting higher and higher, and it also requires the whole team to cooperate and cooperate closely. "Different roles have different requirements, they must be tall and powerful on the ground, and dexterous, bold and careful in the air, and cooperate with each other tacitly, especially to ensure that the technical actions are completed with high quality, and at the same time, they must also do a good job in expression management. After a long period of training and running-in, the actors have their current best performance. Wang Shen said.
After completing the fourth rehearsal, it is one step closer to officially appearing on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, which makes the children excited and full of expectations. 19-year-old Li Chaozhi has had 5 Spring Festival Gala experiences and is a "veteran", but this rehearsal is inevitably a little nervous: "Because there are many leaders who come to review the show today, but the performance has entered the state at the beginning." ”
The rehearsal started at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and we arrived at the show at 10 o'clock in the morning, warmed up in advance, and rehearsed and figured out repeatedly in the background, so we were very well prepared, and everyone's cooperation was also very good. Actor Lu Zhikun scored 10 points for the performance of himself and his teammates, "It's getting closer and closer to the official performance, so I will adjust well in the past few days and show my best state on the night of the thirtieth." ”
