Horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height is different from far and near. Because of the differences in angles, cognition, appreciation levels, etc., different groups of people will have different or even opposite evaluations of the same cross talk work, and the group comedy "The Director's Heart" in the Spring Festival Gala in 2024 encountered this problem. 
Some netizens think that this cross talk is very bad, worse than Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue's cross talk. But there are also many netizens who think that this cross talk is at least the best cross talk of the Spring Festival Gala in ten years, so "The Director's Heart" has become a "cross talk appreciation level filter". It is precisely because the cross talk has received a high degree of attention that some netizens have ** the theatrical version of the work on the Internet, and the performance lineup is the same as the Spring Festival Gala, which is very comparable, which allows us to appreciate it again from another angle. 
1. The difference between the theatrical version and the Spring Festival Gala version "The Director's Heart" should be called "Think Too Much" in the theater version, and some netizens called "The Boss's Heart", because it was not the director who sent a message to Jin Fei in the theater version, but the boss. After the Spring Festival Gala version of "The Director's Heart" replaced the background character boss with the director, the details of the story were also adjusted, such as "promotion and salary increase" was replaced with "increase in salary for drama", and the truth of the final message changed from "taking express delivery" to "buying coffee". The boss is replaced by a director, is this adaptation good? In fact, it is a matter of opinion, if you consider it from the crew of the Spring Festival Gala, it is obvious that the director will be easier to understand, but if you look at it from the perspective of the audience in front of the TV, the boss is closer to life. 
The more critical adaptation is in terms of duration, the performance duration of the theater version is 18 minutes, and the performance duration of the Spring Festival Gala version is 13 minutes, a reduction of 5 minutes, mainly to delete the "Huangliang A Dream" in the theater version. In the theatrical version, Jin Fei gets encouragement from "positive ideas", imagines that he has become the vice president of the company, and then begins to use his power for personal gain, arbitrarily promote his relatives, arbitrarily revise the company's rules and regulations, and take vacations indiscriminately. The deletion of this paragraph actually makes sense, because this cranky thinking is a bit out of the whole cross talk, and the core of spiritual internal friction is a little offset, which can increase the effect when performing in the theater, but in order to highlight the theme of the work on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it is understandable to delete it. 
In addition, the Spring Festival Gala version added drama to the "fleeting little idea", and the theater version of the "little idea" ran quickly twice and did not stop, because the stage is relatively small, it is indeed a flash, which is quite comedic. 
The stage of the Spring Festival Gala is relatively large, and the "little idea" is not Su Bingtian, there is no way to do it in a real flash, and the effect is not as good as the theater version, but it still adds a little line similar to the existing hanging, which is deducted from Liu Qian's magic performed before, which is a small burden of teeth, and at the same time, it also makes the "little idea" show its face, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. 
Second, after the Spring Festival Gala version of "The Director's Heart" was broadcast, some netizens commented the next day that if this cross talk is performed in a small theater, the effect must be very good. After watching the 18-minute theatrical version, compared with the Spring Festival Gala version, I feel that the theatrical version is not better, but that it should have its own merits. 
First of all, the biggest advantage of the theatrical version is that the actors' performances are more relaxed, and the overall rhythm is more calm, which is the advantage brought by the performance occasion, and it is also the benefit of the performance time. Secondly, although the costume color of the actors in the theater version is also differentiated in color, on the whole, there is not so much color difference compared to the Spring Festival Gala. 
The reason why this cross talk dazzled the audience in the Spring Festival Gala is that on the one hand, the color matching of the costumes is indeed too amazing, and on the other hand, it is also related to the fact that the CCTV lens is too good, which excessively highlights the color of the entire cross talk, and also makes many viewers give bad reviews from the first visual perception. 
Again, in terms of the performance effect of the theatrical version, Li Ding's "negative thoughts" are more brilliant, and the rhythm of his lines is slower and sadder, which can be regarded as the most conspicuous existence in the entire cross talk. The rhythm of Li Ding's lines in the Spring Festival Gala version is significantly faster than that of the theater version, coupled with the not-so-conspicuous costumes, which somewhat dilutes this "negative idea", and the most prominent actor has become Sheng Wei's "crooked idea". 
I'm talking nonsense, in terms of who to prove, the Spring Festival Gala crew should have taken a fancy to the "crooked idea", comparing the theater version and the Spring Festival Gala version, although Sheng Wei's role has not changed, his body movements have obviously increased, and the director has also given many close-ups, indicating that this should be the "small idea" of the director of the Spring Festival Gala.
There is also evidence from the Spring Festival Gala hosts Sa Beining and Ma Fanshu, who came to hang up in the host series later, using Sheng Wei's "crooked idea" line "I'm talking nonsense". If the author's "little idea" is correct, then I should really give a thumbs up to the director of the Spring Festival Gala, Sheng Wei's tilted head and "I'm talking nonsense" are undoubtedly the scenes that left the deepest impression on the audience in the whole cross talk, plus Sa Beining's assist, maybe this stalk will gradually be introduced into life and work by netizens in the future.
Therefore, from the perspective of the performance effect, it is not necessarily that the theater version is better, compared with the Spring Festival Gala version, the theater version of the performance is more relaxed and calm, but in terms of highlighting the theme and highlighting the characteristics, the Spring Festival Gala version may be more distinct, just like the actors' coats.
3. After netizens commented that the theatrical version of "The Director's Heart" was posted on the Internet by netizens, many netizens praised it in the comment area, not only for the theatrical version but also for the Spring Festival Gala version. Some netizens believe that this group comedy is eye-catching, and the most difficult breakthrough point is to break the relatively fixed group comedy mode since "Five Senses Fight for Merit", and finally it can realize the swapping of roles between teasing and complimenting.
According to Jin Fei's introduction in an interview, "Think Too Much" was originally a lip-sync comedy, but later found that this cross talk had the potential of group comedy, so it was modified to a group comedy and performed in many commercial performances. In some commercial performances, the content of this cross talk is richer and the performance time is longer, and almost every actor has lines and scenes, which is probably the fundamental reason why so many actors participate in the work.
The evaluation of netizens is still in place, the structure of this cross talk is indeed very innovative, the best thing is the bottom of cross talk, and the mental internal friction suddenly transferred from Jin Fei to Chen Xi, highlighting the comedy effect of cross talk "unexpected", a bit like Zhao Benshan's sketch "Heart Disease", which not only has a satirical taste, but also further sublimates the theme.
Some netizens believe that this cross talk is cleverly conceived, does not play bad stalks, and is the favorite one of the cross talk at the party in recent years. Other netizens also agreed, "Don't play bad stalks" looks simple, but it is very valuable in today's cross talk world, you must know that the reason why netizens boycotted the "subject three" Spring Festival Gala is because this kind of rotten stalk is equivalent to a bun that has been chewed by countless people, not only is it tasteless, but it is also disgusting.
Of course, some netizens find it strange why he and his friends praised their works for a while, but they were scolded by a bunch of people on the Internet, which is incomprehensible. This doubt pulls the problem back to the question of "cross talk appreciation level filter", some people are used to listening to bad stalks, and it is indeed difficult to accept innovative works for a while, and some people are used to being shallow and funny, and it is indeed difficult to understand the connotation of the theme, which is not only a problem in the current cross talk industry, but also a problem in the sketch industry, opera industry and film and television drama industry.
It is reported that at the 5th Intangible Cultural Heritage Cross Talk Conference in 2024, Jin Fei Chen Xi will once again bring "Think Too Much", the cross talk jargon "dismantle and wash over and over again", I don't know what kind of "crooked idea" the two of them will bring to this work at that time.
