Chapter 377 What to Compare?
The Spring Festival Gala has always been the most popular event for Chinese people. Even though the New Year atmosphere is getting weaker and there are more and more choices, people are not as good as before, staying at home to watch the night, making the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala lower and lower, but the significance of the Spring Festival Gala is still unshakable.
Perhaps, in the future, in addition to posting Spring Festival couplets, the Spring Festival Gala is the most common thing that allows people to feel the atmosphere of the New Year. You can not watch it, but she waits there year after year, regardless of whether the program is new or not, whether it is grand or plain, when you hear the opening music and see that stage, the beautiful memories of the past will come to your heart and feel warm.
When eight o'clock arrived, the familiar melody sounded again on the TV of thousands of households, and then six hosts appeared together.
"China Central Television!"
"China Central Television!"
"At this moment, we are broadcasting the "2017 Spring Festival Gala" live to the world in the No. 1 Studio Hall of Central Television in Beijing."
"Spring returns to the earth and flowers are beautiful, and the festival reaches the world and everything is new. The annual Spring Festival Gala is here again as scheduled."
...
After auspicious and concise blessings, the 2017 Spring Festival Gala also kicked off with great anticipation.
The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala have been declining year by year. CCTV has tried all kinds of ways every year, trying them out every year, such as the sense of technology, people-friendliness, main themes, idols, etc., but they cannot stop the downward trend. They still have to lose what they should be, which makes them deeply depressed.
Since all kinds of attempts are not enough, and even used to attract attention and spend a lot of money to create a large-scale stage and performance, it has caused controversy. CCTV has now changed its routine. With the unchanged type and structure of the program in previous years, try to go simple and unpretentious. Even if it cannot bring high ratings, it will at least not be criticized.
Therefore, in the past two years, the Spring Festival Gala has been mostly on the tone of joy, reducing funds, and at the same time deeply discovering some powerful newcomers to try. At least those old faces will not always make people tired of it.
Under this positioning, except for those must-see sketches, crosstalk actors, and some singers, most of the others are selected from the popular contestants of the talent show of that year, such as crosstalk sketch competitions, singing competitions, dance competitions, etc.
So, during the previous preliminary trial, Zhou Xing saw Pan Zhiqiang and Deng Weikui, the contestants who had participated in the "Super Comedy" program with him, and also saw Cui Xiaorong who participated in the "Cross Talk Sketch Competition".
Of course, their program must be reviewed again and again. Once it cannot be guaranteed to be stable, it will be cut off without any mercy.
In this way, several newcomers can become famous through the Spring Festival Gala every year, which is also considered CCTV's ability to create stars. In some CCTV activities or programs in the future, these people can also participate in the platform, which is also a good thing for CCTV.
After repeated reviews, Zhou Xing knew that Deng Weikui was wiped out, while Pan Zhiqiang continued to advance into the Spring Festival Gala and was sure to participate, and Cui Xiaorong was the same. Of course, he was a supporting role in cooperating with his senior brother Wang Hongli's sketch.
Zhou Xing had met them in the previous party, but except for Cui Xiaorong and Zhou Xing who greeted him, Pan Zhiqiang and Wang Hongli turned a blind eye to Zhou Xing, so Zhou Xing naturally would not fall in love with the cold butt and would stick around.
What's more, Pan Zhiqiang is Lin Xiantang's apprentice. He doesn't even come to say hello by his seniority or Zhou Xing's nephew. Does Zhou Xing still have a chance to say hello?
Isn't it a joke if it spreads out?
Tonight's program is still full of joy and peace, dancing is full of colorful and singing is full of melodies that can't remember the melody. Even if there are some highlights of crosstalk, it is more of old manuscripts with no jokes. The sketches are fine, but most of them are familiar faces and shouting.
Therefore, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala are just like those big-name stars from local satellite TV before. They began to look forward to the continued rise, but after they felt that there was nothing to watch, they began to fall.
This is also a routine. Even if the director Liu Yu and these people are feeling pain in their eyes, they have no choice but to hope for some of the programs he is more optimistic about later.
Generally speaking, the type of sketch is the easiest to gain ratings. For the elderly, Zhao Runtu was the well-deserved rating champion in the past, but now Zhao Runtu not only did not appear on the Spring Festival Gala, but even resigned his position, and the rest is Feng Wei.
Feng Wei is Guo Mingshun's junior brother, and he all studied under the crosstalk master Li Wenchang. In terms of seniority, Feng Wei is Zhou Xinghuo's real uncle.
When Zhou Xing was in the first trial of the Spring Festival Gala, he met Feng Wei and encouraged him kindly. Zhou Xing had a good impression of this uncle, at least not as terrified as Lin Xiantang.
In addition to Feng Wei, Zhou Xing's two sketches made Liu Yuhe very optimistic. I won't talk about the quality of the works, especially "General and Soldiers", which fits the present moment and is no longer as fake and empty as the previous military-themed sketches. Instead, it is practical and reflects the current military parade preparations from the small to the big, and also allows the general public to have a look in advance.
The key is that the generals will refer to this year's new military parade together. As soon as this news was exposed, it immediately attracted the attention of the people of the whole country. I have been very curious about it, and this sketch vividly reflects this highlight.
During the preheating and promotion of the Spring Festival Gala, this sketch was reported by Liu Yuhe, and the response was also very good, and the whole people were looking forward to it.
In addition, after seeing the records created by Zhou Xing on Jiangnan Satellite TV and Jingcheng Satellite TV, Liu Yu and he had high expectations for both of Zhou Xing's works. If one was a coincidence, then two times were definitely strength and appeal!
Not only Liu Yuhe, but also Kang Zhendong, who had always regarded Zhou Xing as his rival, now he has lost any ideas.
Kang Zhendong is an artist of the former agency Dingsheng Media, Zhou Xing, who was banned by Zhou Xing, and he even belonged to the same agent Ning Yun as Zhou Xing.
Previously, Kang Zhendong was a star at the end of the second line and was worried that Zhou Xing would squeeze him down, and Ning Yun and the others also encouraged Jiang Wanxia to grab Zhou Xing's program through the former producer of "Super Comedy" and Qi Min, deputy director of New School Media, to inspire Jiang Wanxia to grab Zhou Xing's program, hoping that Zhou Xing could not be on the Spring Festival Gala.
As a result, Zhou Xing not only saved his program, but also added another program in disguise, becoming the first actor in CCTV Spring Festival Gala to participate in two sketches at the same time, and they are both starring actors.
Dingsheng Media, who got this result, was completely out of temper, and Kang Zhendong had no choice.
But they never expected that before participating in the Spring Festival Gala, Zhou Xing created a brilliant record on Jiangnan Satellite TV and Beijing Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala, not only did he block the ratings of the brothers and Liu Tianwang, but he even killed the first-line super popular star Lin Xiao, shocking the inside and outside the circle, making Zhou Xing's momentum unparalleled for a while!
Not to mention pushing Kang Zhendong down from the second line, in a few days, Zhou Xing's star rating quickly rose like a rocket, and now he has reached the middle level of the second line.
This series of actions and explosive news not only shocked the people, but also completely extinguished the idea of catching Zhou Xing up.
Even Lin Xiao was killed, but you are complacent about participating in the Spring Festival Gala with Du Can. It is not of the same magnitude at all. What can you compare to?
