Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
At night .
It was three minutes to 8 PM .
At Zhang Ye's in-law's house .
"Changhe, come here quickly!"
"Why?"
"It's starting!"
"What? But it's not time yet?"
"Hurry over!"
…
Online .
"Ah!"
"It's starting, it's starting!"
"It's already beginning?"
"Why did it start ahead of schedule?"
"I don't know . "
"Eh, what's this?"
"An introductory video?"
"There's never been something like that in the past galas, right?"
…
America .
Chinatown .
"Mom, the Spring Festival Gala has started!"
"Ah? Shouldn't it be starting in another few minutes?"
"Come and watch! It's really started!"
"It's beginning!"
…
Right now!
At this minute and second!
The entire world's Chinese population turned their attention to Central TV Department 1 .
In the past, the Spring Festival Gala would always start right in the studio . But this year, an introductory video played before the actual event had captured the attention of every Chinese person watching!
A piece of music played .
On the television screens, a row of words appeared: What is the Spring Festival Gala?
An auntie: "The Spring Festival Gala is a celebration, a very boisterous celebration!"
An uncle: "The Spring Festival Gala signifies reunion!"
A chef: "The Spring Festival Gala means having loads to eat and drink, hahaha!"
Huo Dongfang: "The Spring Festival Gala? It's a reunion feast for all Chinese people around the world!"
Xiaodong: "The Spring Festival Gala? It's just something that's there . Actually, it's probably more of a companion to the common folk during Lunar New Year's Eve . "
A seafood stall owner in the south: "The Spring Festival Gala? It's about jokes from the north that we don't understand!"
A cab driver from Beijing: "The Spring Festival Gala signifies a good break for me . It's the only time of the year when I can truly switch on my TV and watch something on it . "
An academic: "The Spring Festival Gala? I've never watched it before; it's so tacky . "
The academic's wife: "How would you know that it's tacky if you've never watched it before? Don't mind him, that's just how he is!"
Ning Lan: "The criticism of the Spring Festival Gala shows that everyone still cares deeply about it . People nitpick the gala as they watch it, so that signifies how important it is in the hearts of everyone . "
A Chinese man abroad: "The Spring Festival Gala? If we Chinese who are stationed abroad catch the Spring Festival Gala, it means that we're missing home!"
A Chinese woman abroad: "We're not as picky as the domestic viewers . We just enjoy whatever acts are lined up!"
An old man who was feeding his wife: "The Spring Festival Gala cheers her up! When one becomes old, one behaves just like a child!"
Zhang Yuanqi: "Hur hur, the Spring Festival Gala? It's just the night before Lunar New Year, isn't it?"
An old man from a scholarly family: "The Spring Festival Gala should not only be about entertainment . It should also be educational!"
The old man's son: "Aiyo, Dad! After working hard for a year, the Spring Festival Gala should be a source of enjoyment to everyone . Don't keep schooling us with your thoughts on what it should be!"
The old man: "What's so bad about being able to get a takeaway from it!"
A young man: "Do you know where my greatest source of enjoyment when watching the Spring Festival Gala lies?"
Several other men: "Flam-ing! Ah! Haha!"
A traffic cop: "The Spring Festival Gala is everyone watching the performances while we safeguard your peace!"
A nurse: "The Spring Festival Gala is a time when we welcome new lives into this world!"
Two Navy sailors: "The Spring Festival Gala is making sure we're combat ready to protect our land!"
A firefighting squad: "The Spring Festival Gala is maintaining our readiness for any situation!"
…
This introductory video stunned every Chinese person who was watching on television!
There wasn't any preaching!
There wasn't any deliberate overstating!
It wasn't full of praise!
Didn't understand the jokes? It was tacky? The greatest source of enjoyment when watching the Spring Festival Gala was flaming it?
A lot of negative comments were casually included in the introductory video!
This introductory video was very special . It was so special that many people felt touched by it . People from all kinds of industries, be it men or women, young or old, all of them had a different understanding of the Spring Festival Gala, and there were various attitudes for it . What was the Spring Festival Gala? There was never a definitive answer to that question . Every person had their own understanding and answer, just like those people who were featured in the introductory video .
The main event hadn't even started yet!
But this appetizer of a video clip had already stunned everyone!
They had never come across anyone starting off a Spring Festival Gala that way!
On Weibo .
"Whose idea is this?"
"It must be Zhang Ye's idea . "
"This is a good one!"
"Yeah, I quite liked it!"
"Zhang Ye's way of doing things is indeed different from other people's!"
"I like how Sister Zhang answered: The Spring Festival Gala? It's just the night before Lunar New Year—hahahaha!"
"That person who said that the Spring Festival Gala was about flaming it spoke my mind for me!"
"This introductory video has got a thing or two!"
"I'm just worried that this will be the only highlight of the show . "
"Uh, I'm worried about that too . "
"That's right, I suppose that the acts lined up will still be the same as the previous years . They're going to have the same kinds of dances, on the same stage, and with the same songs too, haha . If that's really how it is, I'll just head to bed . "
…
At 8 PM sharp .
Central TV, in the production control room .
Zhang Ye said loudly, "Three!
