On December 1, there are 61 days before the Lunar New Year’s Eve of the 2022 Year of the Tiger, and the CCTV Spring Festival Gala has unsurprisingly become a hot spot for people during this time. In people’s discussion, the trend of language programs for the Spring Festival Gala is hot again, and this year’s comedy variety show craze throughout the year, from CCTV’s “Gold Medal Comedy Class” at the beginning of the year to the “Talk Show Conference” on Tencent Video in the middle of the year. Let the talk show become popular, and at the end of the year, iQiyi will use “Annual Comedy Competition” (hereinafter referred to as “Annual”) to bring comedy to a new level. Will the CCTV Spring Festival Gala “language program” Get inspiration from it, absorb and draw on some new forms, and use the directors and actors who have become popular in these shows. This has undoubtedly become the focus of people’s observation, whether in the industry or in the hearts of the audience.
At the end of 2021, Ma Dong brought “Annual” into the audience’s field of vision. In addition to bringing “hahahahaha” joy to the audience, but also let the public see that “comedy can still be played like this”, diversified comedy forms and brand new Comedy scenes make this comedy variety show wander between “god” and “nervous”. He succeeded in bringing the creation and arrangement of niche comedies such as “sketched comedy” and “improvised comedy” to the public, making the audience shine.
In fact, the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala has always been a training ground for “comedy shows”. In 1983, Yan Shunkai performed “A Q’s Monologue” at the first CCTV Spring Festival Gala, which used the form of “sketch” for the first time. Subsequently, more and more genre shows appeared in the spring evening. On the one hand, they became popular among sketch actors such as Chen Peisi, Zhu Shimao, Zhao Lirong, Song Dandan, Huang Hong, and Guo Da. On the other hand, the sketch became a comedy form with Chinese characteristics. .
This year, on the “Annual” stage, the audience once again saw a mime that hasn’t appeared on the public stage for a long time. The performances of Wu Liuqi and Wang Zi made the children in the family laugh. Looking back on the history of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, in the early days of its establishment, mime played an important role in the Spring Festival Gala process. “Eating Chicken” with Wang Jingyu and Jiang Kun’s partner in the first Spring Festival Gala in 1983, and “Shower” performed by You Benchang in 1984 are all classic programs of the Spring Festival Gala in the eyes of the audience. Therefore, the discovery of new forms of comedy has always been the focus of CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala.
When it comes to the popular comedy form this year, talk shows are the first to bear the brunt. In the past two years, talk shows have almost become the most popular form of comedy among young people. CCTV Spring Festival Gala is also open to this new form. In 2020, talk show actor Siwen was invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala row. However, due to the sudden epidemic that year, the show Could not meet with the audience. In 2021, the talk show actor Li Xueqin also became popular because of his participation in the “Talk Show Conference” that year, and was subsequently invited by the Spring Festival Gala crew to participate in the sketch “Rehearsal” created by Cai Ming and Pan Changjiang. The show was finally performed at the Lantern Festival that year.
Although he remained open to talk shows, he really stood on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage and said that the talk show was unprecedented. With the show’s fire this year, the audience got to know the talk show actors Zhou Qimo, Pang Bo, He Guangzhi, Xu Zhisheng, etc., can they? Standing on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala was also a topic that the audience talked about.
The CCTV Spring Festival Gala has now entered the stage of creation. Whether language programs can have greater innovation, can better grasp the pulse of the times in form and content, be more grounded, and be more popular with young people. This is indeed a challenging addition. Sub-topic.Reporter Wang Lei
