Spring Festival Gala, oh Spring Festival Gala, how did you become background music?
"Technology has advanced, but the Spring Festival Gala has regressed." This statement is satisfying and hits the nail on the head.
The stage has indeed become more dazzling, with 8K ultra-high definition and AI robots all in action, but after watching, there's only one feeling left: it's noisy, but not enjoyable.
Some people say that our tastes have become more particular, and we can no longer taste the flavors of childhood snacks. This is true, but if we look back ten years, the shows have indeed become worse year by year. It's not just CCTV; all channels have this issue.
Why? Fundamentally, it's just two things.
Firstly, there’s nothing we can say anymore. In the past, sketches could mock social phenomena, but now they have all become moral preaching. There’s no punchline, but there’s a whole set of educational statements. Cross talk has simply disappeared— even Yue Yunpeng said he can't write it anymore, which shows how squeezed the creative space has become.
It has nothing to do with ordinary people anymore. The stage is filled with high technology and big stars, all very lively, but if you think about it carefully, does it have anything to do with your life? No one mentions the pressure of employment, and the anxiety of retirement is invisible, it's just a group of people forcing themselves to be happy. Netizens harshly say: 'The Spring Festival Gala is all about splendor unrelated to ordinary people.'
The result is that the TV is on, and the whole family is looking down at their phones. Complaining about the Spring Festival Gala is more lively than watching it.
Ultimately, what the Spring Festival Gala lacks is not technology, but the human touch. It needs that kind of authenticity that makes people smile and think of their own lives.
Less high technology and more human warmth, please. Return the stage to real people and the laughter to real life. Otherwise, this gala will truly become just a 'background noise.'
