Big Spoiler of CCTV Spring Festival Evening in the Year of the Sheep: The Divine Comedy is a big skewer, and Liu Huan Karen Mok sings the main theme.
The host lineup of CCTV Spring Festival Evening in 2015 was announced.
In addition to tradition, this year’s Spring Festival Gala emphasizes that creativity keeps pace with the times, and under the background of diversified integration in the information age, cross-border mashups have changed from different styles to the style of the times, so it is natural for the Spring Festival Gala to catch up.
In 2014, the divine comedy "Little Apple" was mixed with Phoenix Legend’s "The most dazzling national style", and the aunts’ square dance also jumped on the stage, and martial arts and guqin performance were combined into a creative program; The folk song "Little Town Girl" sung by Zhang Ye is combined with Tao Zhe’s R&B pop songs. Pop singer Yu Quan and Peking Opera artist Yu Kuizhi also performed "Three Stores" and "Running" against each other … In a word, besides the excitement, the acrobatics program in the Spring Festival Evening wanted to give the audience something new!
Chopsticks Brothers and Phoenix Legend are at the rehearsal scene. Apart from singing each other’s songs, the four of them have to mix together to finish the song.
"The most dazzling national style" and "Little Apple" are two simple and catchy divine songs, but it is really not that simple to mix and sing together according to the director’s method in the Spring Festival Evening.During the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, the original singers of the two songs were stupid and couldn’t tell what they were singing.
This year, Havin, the general director who is good at mashups and creative programs, came up with a PK program that allowed Chopsticks Brothers and Phoenix Legend to sing each other’s famous songs. This idea was extended into a series of wonderful mashups. The director asked a group of singers to exchange singing methods. Bel canto, pop, folk songs and Peking Opera were lively, but it was really unknown what effect they would have when they performed live.
In the rehearsal stage, Kelly Chen, a Hong Kong singer, quit because she couldn’t adapt to the singing style. Originally, the director arranged for her and Liao Changyong to exchange singing "It’s better to dance" and "I’m like a snowflake in the sky" with bel canto and pop. Kelly Chen tried more than 20 methods, but she felt very bad about herself.
In fact, this program is far more complicated than the director can imagine. For example, at the rehearsal scene, Chopsticks Brothers and Phoenix Legend, in addition to exchanging and singing each other’s songs, the four of them have to mix together and sing the song together. The catchy melodies of these two square dance songs have some similarities. By arranging and mixing them together, they almost become a complete song. At this time, the singers are required to cross the lyrics of the two songs and sing with each other, and they sing until Wang Terry, the lead singer of Chopsticks Brothers, was once stunned and didn’t know which sentence to sing next.
Looking at this scene, the audience under the stage all burst into laughter. However, if you look down again, when Yu Kuizhi, a master of Peking Opera, sings Running by Yu Quan, and Zhang and Tao Zhe exchange singing "Little Town Girl" and "All the Best", you will know that the chopsticks brothers finally got mixed up, which is nothing at all.
Don’t get me wrong, these two songs are not a mix-and-match. They are both solo songs. The reason for juxtaposing them is that they are both original works in the CCTV variety show "China’s Good Songs". Moreover, the two songs stood out in the newly added "audience evaluation" of the director group this year’s Spring Festival Evening and were gloriously selected for the Spring Festival Evening. Unfortunately, the originality of the two songs missed the stage.
Liu Huan introduced that his first reaction after receiving the performance invitation was to struggle. "The first reaction when I heard this news was: it’s not right, it should be sung by the students themselves. Even if I need to show up, I can sing with the students. I immediately communicated with Ha Dao by telephone, but in the end they insisted on my solo, accompanied by two international performers. To be honest, I struggled for a whole day before agreeing. "
As for why Slow Once upon a time was favored, Liu Huan thought, "Perhaps the main reason is this little poem by Mr. Mu Xin, which is very quiet, simple and picturesque. Now the pace of work and life is very fast, and people are impetuous. This song can hit people’s hearts at once and examine their own steps. "
Jason Wu, Zhang zhen and 48 students from Tagou Martial Arts School jointly performed the creative martial arts program "Picturesque Jiangshan", which was praised in the rehearsal. This program is full of strong "Chinese style". Jason Wu needs to walk plum blossom piles on a tower that is four or five meters high and made of dozens of mahogany chairs. In the audience’s view, Jason Wu has been swaying on the plum blossom pile, which is very thrilling.
Zhang zhen’s performance began with a piano.
In the past Spring Festival Gala, many kung fu stars, such as Jackie Chan and Chiu Man-Cheuk, performed on the stage, while Zhang zhen and Wu Jingdu attended the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. Their programs are different from the past in that they combine different styles of martial arts programs and integrate various traditional cultural spirits. Among them, Jason Wu, a kung fu star who made her first appearance in the Spring Festival Evening, mainly showed tough martial arts movements, while Zhang zhen’s performance started with dancing the piano. These two people used martial arts movements to show the calligraphy and painting of the piano and chess in the traditional culture of China, which was very aesthetic.
