The countdown started.
Three.
Two.
One.
The Spring Festival Gala's live broadcast officially began!
A short, two-minute promotional video was broadcast at the start. This video was very elegantly shot but also very traditional in a sense. All the different industry frontline workers in their work uniforms appeared in this promotional video and finally boarded a packed train for the holiday season. Everyone then gave a fist and palm salute before several words appeared on screen—Spring Festival Gala.
Music started to blare. It was a piece of traditional folk music to which the performers came onto stage with in their beautiful stage costumes. There were people dancing the Uighur folk dance, the Dai folk dance, as well as the Mongolian folk dance.
"Uh…"
"Why do I have an ominous feeling about this?"
"I do too."
"A hodgepodge of performances? Fuck!"
"The composition of performers is too complicated!"
