The Reincarnation of the Times: The Changes and Memories of the Female Host of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Introduction. Every CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the grace and beauty and generosity of the female hosts can always become the focus of the audience's attention, and they bloom on the national stage like bright stars. However, with the passage of time, the hosting team has also undergone changes again and again, and this year, Li Sisi, who hosted the ninth Spring Festival Gala, completely withdrew, injecting new elements into the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Ni Ping, Zhao Zhongxiang, Li Yong, Zhu Jun, Zhou Tao, Dong Qing and other hosts who were praised by the audience as "memory of the times" have also officially become "past tense". This article will take this theme as a clue to review the changes of female hosts of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and deeply analyze their unique contributions on the stage, as well as the emergence of a new generation of hosts.
Presenter of a bygone era.
In the glorious history of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Ni Ping's name is like a bright meteor, leaving countless evocative moments. She became a goddess in the hearts of a generation on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in the 90s with her graceful, atmospheric, and generous image. However, it is no accident that Ni Ping can become a representative of the times. Back in 1991, she appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, but encountered a small episode in the reading of the congratulatory message. The director team inadvertently handed her four blank congratulatory messages, but at the New Year's Eve, she skillfully made up blessings from different countries, showing amazing language organization and adaptability. This scene has become the "proud" moment of her Spring Festival Gala career, and it also allows the audience to see the ability that a real host should have.
Ni Ping's era is different from the current host. During her hosting period, due to the small number of hosts, she often needed to speak alone on stage for three or five minutes, and her lines were very fluent and without stuck, which was in stark contrast to the current "teleprompter host". Ni Ping's success is inseparable from her long-term partner Zhao Zhongxiang in addition to her personal talent. As China's second TV announcer, Zhao Zhongxiang has been deeply involved in the field of hosting and has left a deep impression on the audience. However, on January 16, 2020, Zhao Zhongxiang passed away, ending their years as a partner, and it has also become an eternal memory for the audience.
Maverick host.
Li Yong is another unique host. He breathes new life with a stylish hairstyle and an active way of hosting. The programs he hosted, such as "Lucky 52" and "Very 6+1", have become classics and left a deep impression on the audience. As soon as Li Yong stood on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he was immediately unanimously recognized by the audience. After Zhao Zhongxiang, Zhu Jun successfully "became the most concerned and loved male host on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage." However, due to some personal incidents, Zhu Jun gradually withdrew from the public eye. On February 20, 2023, he returned to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again, but the audience regretted his changes, and his facial exhaustion and traces of time were embarrassing.
* Partners Zhou Tao and Dong Qing.
Zhou Tao and Dong Qing became the representatives of "full of poetry and books" on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Zhou Tao's atmospheric and elegant image is deeply loved by the audience, and her appearance makes people feel at ease and comfortable. Dong Qing's personal style is even more prominent, and her successful rescue experience in a live broadcast shows the same strong adaptability as Ni Ping. The two female hosts jointly undertook the task of hosting the Spring Festival Gala and became the "best partners" in the hearts of the audience. However, as time went by, Zhou Tao began to try a new identity, entered the Beijing Performing Arts Group, directed the Spring Festival Gala of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and even began to try acting, and gradually bid farewell to the Spring Festival Gala stage. Dong Qing also gave up opportunities for more young people, and her choice showed her yearning for a new life.
The Emerging Age of the New Era: Li Sisi.
This year, Li Sisi has once again become the focus of attention. Although she had already been absent once last year, this time she completely withdrew from the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and started a new career journey. Li Sisi may not have as representative influence as Ni Ping, Dong Qing, and Zhou Tao, but she has hosted the Spring Festival Gala stage for nine years. Looking back on her career, as early as 2001, at the age of 15, she began to serve as the guest host of Jilin Satellite TV's ** program "Record Street". In 2004, 18-year-old Li Sisi participated in the "New Miao Cup" middle school student host competition held by Beijing Broadcasting Institute, and won the runner-up in Jilin Division. In 2005, she became the first female champion of the "Challenge Host" program on the ** TV variety channel. These rich experiences provided a solid foundation for her to stand on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala at a young age.
In many Spring Festival Gala hosts, Li Sisi has shown excellent adaptability, although there are no particularly bright highlight moments, but he has gradually established his own image among the audience. However, she chose to get married and have children during the rise of her career and left her job at CCTV. Today, she shares her life on social platforms, highlighting her ideal work lifestyle. Li Sisi's exit symbolizes the emergence of a new generation of hosts, and it also makes people expect her to achieve more achievements in her career and family.
The growth of a new generation of presenters.
Nowadays, the hostesses on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala are regarded as "new friends" in the hearts of the audience. Among them, Long Yang has hosted the Spring Festival Gala the most times and has three experiences. Compared with the 16, 13, and 9 years of their predecessors, the road to these new hosts is obviously still very long. The audience's expectations for them and their growth space are full of expectations. The new generation of hosts will carry the audience's expectations for good memories and continue the glorious tradition of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.
Epilogue. The change of the female host of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is the reincarnation of the times and the baptism of the years. Each period has left its own unique imprint, and their hard work has achieved wonderful performances on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. The times are changing, the memory is eternal, and the light of the hostesses of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala will continue to shine on the hearts of every audience. A new generation of hosts is emerging, injecting new vitality into the Spring Festival Gala, showing the unremitting pursuit and innovation of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.
