How are the programs for the Spring Festival Gala chosen?

Monkey Year Spring Festival Gala director Lu Yitao: "Our choice of performers is generally a two-pronged one, one is the top artists, and the other is the grassroots stars from the people.

For the audience, those familiar with the artists to play what in fact is not the most important, as long as they appear in the Spring Festival Gala stage is meaningful; and the people star for young viewers may be more grounded, for example, this year, we will also invite a number of variety show talent singers to participate in the performance."

Lv Yitao said the Spring Festival Gala is, after all, an act of national television and an annual event for Chinese people, so it still has to reflect a great country's demeanor, grandeur and pattern. "You and I have a Chinese dream, comprehensively build a well-off society" is the main line that runs through every program.

Lu Yitao: "For example, this year we invited the three military honor guards who participated in the 2015 parade. The artistic presentation of the program is the process of capturing a point and magnifying it infinitely.

Only in this way can the audience feel the shock that comes to them, otherwise if the show is performed in a clear soup, the audience will think, "Why should I watch it at the Spring Festival Gala when I can usually see it."
