Whenever the bell of the Lunar New Year is approaching, the eyes of the national audience will focus on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, looking forward to a jubilant and festive cultural feast.
But this year's Spring Festival Gala is too embarrassing! Program creation, especially language programs, is becoming more and more perfunctory year by year, and there is no novelty at all, which makes people want to ask: Is it so difficult to be "grounded"?
Which shows are embarrassing, let's start with language programs, after all, this is the most noteworthy and interesting type of program on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
The first is the cross talk "I Want to Be Different" brought by Yue Yunpeng.
The pillar of Deyun Club is loved by the public for his unique people-friendly image and sense of humor, but this year's work seems to be off track. Behind Xiao Yueyue's hot search topic of "mouth" on stage is the hollowness and obsolescence of the content of his work.
The cross talk is full of old-fashioned memorizing poems, which seems to be humorous but is actually boring, and even makes the audience sigh "not as good as my classmates". ridiculed the "cultural person" setting after the "Five Rings", not only did not show a spark of wisdom, but it seemed too far-fetched and disappointed.
And Yue Yunpeng's expression management is also quite in place, I can't see any waves and color changes, I feel that after so many years of the Spring Festival Gala, Yue Yunpeng has not changed at all.
The sketch "Can That Be the Same" appeared next, starring the new generation actor Zhang Ruonan. thought it would inject a fresh vitality into the Spring Festival Gala, but unexpectedly, the plot setting was cliché and boring.
The story revolves around the trivial matter of whose house to go back to for the New Year, trying to ** the "double standard" phenomenon in modern families, but the handling method is too blunt, as if it is explaining for the sake of explanation, rather than really touching the pain points in life.
Although Zhang Ruonan's performance was still surprising, the lack of strength in the script made her efforts seem inadequate, and the whole work was difficult to resonate with the audience, let alone be down-to-earth.
Jin Hui's group comedy "The Director's Heart" also failed to escape the embarrassing whirlpool. This group comedy tries to show the diversity of life in the form of inner monologues of the characters, but in the actual presentation, too many funny elements cover up the connotation of the theme that could have been deeply explored, resulting in a superficial performance that cannot touch people's hearts.
The daily stalks discussed in the show, such as the boss's message "I'm here", are interpreted by the actors as both bland and far-fetched, which can't help but make people question: does artistic creation really need to be so superficial and perfunctory?
As for the highly anticipated "Shen Ma Combination" of Shen Teng and Ma Li, their program "Chilling House" is even more surprising.
The joke design of the show is pale and weak, such as the stalk of "Outer Eight and Inner Eight" suddenly appearing, without any boost at all, and I don't know what the concept of the sketch wants to express, and the whole thing is a mess.
Not to mention other teams, just the pair of Shen Teng and Ma Li, their performance in the Spring Festival Gala can be said to be getting worse year by year.
Once they won countless applause for their deep-rooted roles and unexpected reversals, it is a pity that they now present such an embarrassing work in the Spring Festival Gala.
Could it be that "Help or Not Help" is Shen Teng Ma Li's eternal highlight moment, it is really nostalgic.
The most ironic thing is that the sketch "Can't Open the Mouth" turned out to be a "back to the pot dish". This show, which has been staged in other variety shows before, appeared again on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, undoubtedly exposing the lack of innovation in the creative team.
In the face of the increasing aesthetic needs of the audience, such a repetitive performance is undoubtedly a perfunctory manifestation, and I don't know how to pass the trial.
This year's Spring Festival Gala has repeatedly exposed problems such as lack of life breath and lack of creativity in language programs, and these works have not gone deep into the lives of ordinary people to capture those real and touchable stories and emotions, but have chosen a relatively conservative and formalized way of expression.
How to better grasp the essence of "down-to-earth" and impress people's hearts with works with a more contemporary sense and life temperature has become an urgent topic to be solved.
After all, a successful Spring Festival Gala is not only a singing and dancing on a gorgeous stage, but also a vivid portrayal of ordinary life under the lights of thousands of homes.
If the Spring Festival Gala is so boring in the future, and the audience doesn't watch it, who can blame it?
The Spring Festival Gala has a good show
