That year was magical. The style of the Spring Festival Gala was unique, and the cross talk was mixed with skits.

The author has recently written three consecutive Spring Festival Gala memories. On the one hand, it is because people are nostalgic as they get older, and on the other hand, the Spring Festival Galas they wrote are indeed topical. For example, the 1994 Spring Festival Gala written this time is A unique Spring Festival Gala.

What impressed me most at the 1994 Spring Festival Gala was the bridge across the stage, just like the big rabbit on the stage in 1987 and the arches on the stage in 1990. I know what year the show is. The unique style of this Spring Festival Gala is mainly due to the following reasons:

1. The absence of big names

This Spring Festival Gala is just as planned. Zhao Benshan, the newcomer in the sketch world, does not , Jiang Kun, the cross talk king, is not here, and Zhao Zhongxiang, who has hosted the Spring Festival Gala for several consecutive years, is absent. It may not seem like a big deal now, but back then this kind of collective absence of big names was rare and quite topical.

As for the absence of the three big names in various fields, the reasons are different. Zhao Zhongxiang’s reason is unknown. He may be following organizational arrangements. Jiang Kun simply had his work wiped out. He released the cross talk "Big Boat" for two consecutive years. If it was killed in the first year, he could replace it with another one. This year, there is no replacement. The next year, his "Contemplation" continued to be killed. This kind of treatment also reflects the reality that Jiang Kun's influence has declined. After all, he has been popular for ten years and his peak period has passed, and Liang Zuo is going to work on "I Love My Family".

According to his own words, the reason for Zhao Benshan's absence was that he was late and felt that he had no chance to go back. Rumor has it that his and his ex-wife's child, Zhao Tiedan, died in infancy. In order to deal with the child's funeral, he was late for the report and was misunderstood by the director as being a big star. The author rather believes in the misunderstanding. After all, Lao Zhao probably didn’t want to explain it in too much detail because the matter was special at the time.

A director who doesn’t give face to big names is naturally a great person, Lang Kun. He is indeed more talented than Zhao An and his ilk, and of course has a better temper.

2. The absence of big-name celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan

It is a tradition to invite one or two big-name celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan to attend the Spring Festival Gala every year, especially in the previous year in 1993. Dengfengzhi has invited a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars such as Jackie Chan, Wang Jie, Luo Wen, Su Rui, Mo Qixian, etc. Even the host has three Hong Kong and Taiwan stars joining the show. In 1994, it suddenly went to the other extreme. Except for the Taiwanese actors who sang Peking Opera, there were no other well-known Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, which is quite interesting.

3. Very few host partners

The Spring Festival Gala host lineup has always been a highlight, from the earliest standard four people to seven or eight or even more than a dozen people, the host lineup Never a lot. The most special one before was the 1990s. However, although there was only one host in name, Li Moran and the three captains also played the role of host. In contrast, the 1994 Spring Festival Gala only had two hosts, Ni Ping and Cheng Qian, which was really a breath of fresh air. Anyway, the author really hates those kinds of shows with a bunch of hosts. Is it up to you to watch the show? The author wholeheartedly approves of Director Lang Kun's approach. Besides, the combination of Ni Ping and Cheng Qian is also good.

4. Crosstalk sketches pay attention to mix and match

Among the crosstalk sketches of the 1994 Spring Festival Gala, we must mention the three classic works "Off Topic", "Playing Poker" and "Idea Company". Two cross-talk sections and one skit both have the meaning of cross-border mash-up, which reflects the idea of ????seeking changes in cross-talk at that time. What is gratifying is that this mash-up work has achieved quite good results.

"Off Topic" by Shi Fukuan, Yan Yueming, Li Jindou and Shan Lianli

This group crosstalk was once considered a sketch by many people, which shows its innovative strength. Compared with the traditional group cross talk, this cross talk has changed the scene and stage setting, and the role allocation of the funny and cute characters has also been blurred. Although Yan Yueming and Gao Yingpei revolutionized the crosstalk in "Variety Show" before, "Off Topic" is still considered an iconic innovative work on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

The most important thing is that the content and irony of this cross talk are very good, and it is a rare good cross talk.

Huang Hong and Hou Yaowen's "Playing Poker"

It is said that Huang Hong once invited Ma Ji to star, but Ma Ji refused and replaced him with Hou Yaowen. In fact, in the author's opinion, there is nothing wrong with saying that this skit is a variation of cross talk. It just replaces the scene table with a sofa, and replaces the fan, handkerchief and sober wood with wine glasses and business cards. As for the actors, hehe, both of them are serious crosstalk students.

Huang Hong is Ma Ji's apprentice. He himself said that the reason why he invited his master Ma Ji is because this program incorporates many cross talk elements and techniques.

Therefore, the author believes that "Playing Poker" can be regarded as a marriage between the cross talk world and the sketch world.

Niu Qun and Feng Gong's "Idea Company"

This cross talk is equivalent to the continuation of the previous "Auction". It also follows the trend of the times and also actively interacts on and off the stage. This alternative cross talk program was all the rage back then. Niu Qun and Feng Gong’s bold innovation also announced the arrival of a new era of cross talk. It is a pity that most of the latecomers have only scratched the surface and lack connotation in the content of cross talk.

In summary, due to various reasons, the 1994 Spring Festival Gala has become a legend with unique style in the history of Spring Festival Gala. The author believes that it can be regarded as a breath of fresh air among previous Spring Festival Galas.

Let’s review some of the classic scenes and lines from this Spring Festival Gala:

Guo Dacai Ming’s “Overseas Telephone”, Dezhou’s Ner in Shandong appeared in the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, It's a pity that there is no Binzhou. In addition, Guo Da's pronunciation: "American rules, I want to fight American rules..." is quite magical.

Ouyang Beini, a little girl from Shanghai, made an astonishing turn and set a Guinness record by spinning 98 hula hoops at the same time. At that time, the whole audience gave her the final count and the audience stood up and applauded during the Spring Festival Gala. It's really rare.

Some people say that the hula hoop craze that was all the rage originated from this Spring Festival Gala, but the author seems to remember that it was "Zhengda Variety Show" that led the trend, and it happened earlier than the Spring Festival Gala. I particularly like the inverted hula hoop trick played by Dashan, and I do it every time on the way to school. Hula hoops were really popular back then. Schools organized special hula hoop competitions. At that time, if you didn’t know how to swing a hula hoop, you would be laughed at.

Gao Xiumin and Zhao Shilin's "Code" was also very magical at the time. This was also Gao Qiumin's first Spring Festival Gala performance. Zhao Shilin, who was paired with Shen Teng, was famous all over the world. Quite popular.

The author has always remembered the number 2432121 in the sketch. There is also Gao Xiumin's song: "In 1937, the Eighth Route Army pulled the bolt, took a good aim, and bang, beat the translator to death...", so magical!

The one-piece dance "Looking for Friends" was popular for a while back then. I remember that this form of performance first appeared on "Variety Show", and the dancer sang "I Love Beijing Tiananmen" .

The "Letter from Myna" by Teacher Wang Fuli and Sandezi Zhao Liang is quite interesting, especially Teacher Wang Fuli's sentence "Myna? Give back your fucking parrot!" In my mind, this is a very rare swear word in the Spring Festival Gala. Very powerful.

The form of Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's magic sketch "The Great Transformation" is good, but unfortunately the content is extensive and lacks the delicacy of the previous classic sketches. It also makes people feel that the two of them are on the decline.

The biggest surprise of this sketch now seems to be Miss Chen Peisi-Mei Ting.

1994 is a magical year, and its magic may have started from this Spring Festival Gala. If you don’t have deep memories of 1994, you might as well take a look at the following names:

< p> "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Pulp Fiction", "This Killer Isn't Too Cold", "Friends"

"Farewell My Concubine", "Alive" and "On a Bright Day"

"Domestic Lingling Paint", "Chongqing Express", "Ashes of Time", "Nine-grade Sesame Official"
