China News Service Client, Beijing, January 26th (Reporter Shangguan Yun) Do you still remember the popular dance program "Tang Palace Night Banquet"?
Yes, it is from the Henan Spring Festival Gala in 2021.
No, the topic of the 2022 Henan Spring Festival Gala has been on the hot search several times recently.
On the 25th, a reporter from Chinanews.com interviewed the main creators of the party.
According to reports, the Henan Spring Festival Gala will carry out "subversive" innovations. Almost all programs are original, including songs, dances, language programs and so on.
Almost all programs without a host are original
In line with the zodiac symbols, the theme of this year's Henan Spring Festival Gala is "Tigers and Tigers", and the program list will be announced on January 29.
Chen Lei, the chief director of the Henan Spring Festival Gala in 2022, said that from program creation to actor modeling, makeup, and even the presentation of stage art, almost all of them are original.

"Among them, there is a song program, and we invited Fang Wenshan to write lyrics. In addition, this year's Henan Spring Festival Gala will have musicals, stages, language programs, etc., as well as a very different children's dance." Chen Lei introduced.
According to Chen Lei and the program team's vision, several popular IPs that appeared in the "Chinese Festival" series last year, such as Luoshen, Longmen King Kong, "Miss Tang Gong", etc., will appear in the form of anime dolls this time.
"These animation images are very 'cartoon and cute', connecting several chapters of the whole Henan Spring Festival Gala." He mentioned.
"This year's Henan Spring Festival Gala is about two hours long, and there will be a short story in front of each program. For example, "The Direction of Home"." Cheng Wanli, executive planner of the "Chinese Festival" series, also revealed that this year's Henan Spring Festival Gala does not have a host.
It is reported that on January 30 (the 28th of the twelfth lunar month), the 2022 Henan Spring Festival Gala will officially meet with the audience.
It premiered exclusively on Youku at 18:30, and at 19:30 on the Henan Satellite TV·Elephant News client.
What innovations are there?
Since the launch of the Henan Spring Festival Gala in 2022, nearly 60 editions of Chen Lei's planning plan have been written.
"The stage form of the Henan Spring Festival Gala has also made breakthroughs this time, creating the concept of 'Nian Universe'. Behind the stage with a sense of technology, an old street with Henan charm is displayed. Through the gate of time and space, the future and reality, tradition and technology are integrated. "Cheng Wanli said.

导演组则想打造一台“不像春晚”的春晚：这次很多节目会在舞台空间、实景、虚拟、摄影棚置景呈现，也会在不同空间穿梭、联动。
“晚会的很多概念打破了‘中国节日’系列网剧+网综的形式，有的是微电影，有的是短片，有的是舞台剧，甚至有些节目就像一场彩排。”陈雷说，另外也有很概念化的内容，比如一个有关太极拳的节目。
“现代社会可能过于追逐‘快’，当打开‘太极’的世界后，能让你平衡那种焦急的状态，细腻感受时间和生命，所以节目的名字叫《下一秒》。今年春晚还会有关于中医药文化的节目。”陈雷说。
他认为，我们的传统文化像是一座宝库，从不同角度出发，可以把这些珍贵的文化资源，以今天大家喜闻乐见的形式演绎出来、获得共情，这就是文艺的力量。
“今年河南春晚更注重聚焦当下，特别强调‘共情’，从一个个鲜活的人物和故事中去展现‘家’的情愫。”陈雷希望，通过这种方式，给观众带来真正的欢乐和温暖。
这些文化类节目为何能出圈？
不只是2022年的河南春晚，从《唐宫夜宴》到《洛神水赋》，之前的“中国节日”系列节目，也出现了不少“爆款”。
对上述文化类节目的走红，陈雷认为是好事，“我们应当了解中国人自己的传统文化，这些节目让更多人喜欢传统文化，而一大批优质文化类节目如雨后春笋般地出现，这恰恰是从文化自信到文化自觉的过程。”
程万里透露，2022年“中国节日”系列节目还会继续做下去，串联形式和节目艺术包装手法也需要不断升级、创新。侧重点可能会放在中国节日不同节庆文化仪式感的重塑上，同时也会把创作的重点从中原文化脉络，延伸到不同地域的中国文化上。(完)
