Shelley Posted February 7, 2016 at 01:20 PM Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 at 01:20 PM Watching it on CCTV news here too. Usual mix of amazing sites and too good to be true songs and lyrics, but still entertaining and quite a spectacle. For someone like me, in the UK this is really the only thing of this kind we see except maybe for the opening of the Olympics. I am enjoying it for what it is, a slice of china and chinese way of thinking. Happy new year to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edelweis Posted February 7, 2016 at 02:06 PM Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 at 02:06 PM Question: is there an electric version of traditional Chinese string instruments? Edit: oh, nice beard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted February 7, 2016 at 02:10 PM Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 at 02:10 PM It could have a wireless mic inside so the acoustic sound can be amplified. That's how we sometimes mic up an acoustic guitar or violin etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edelweis Posted February 7, 2016 at 02:33 PM Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 at 02:33 PM Hm thanks Shelley. After the displays of filial piety I'm glad I had the foresight to buy a chocolate cake. Yum yum. ... Eeep! Communist party song! ... Dancing robots and drones! indeed 没有共产党就没有新中国.

Meng Lelan Posted February 7, 2016 at 04:52 PM Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 at 04:52 PM Eh, this show rated a 馬馬猴猴，oops, I mean 馬馬虎虎. Not the best but the monkey business lightened things up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisha2766 Posted February 7, 2016 at 05:59 PM Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 at 05:59 PM We just got up, is it replaying anywhere? Or can it be watched on a web site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edelweis Posted February 7, 2016 at 06:37 PM Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 at 06:37 PM If you receive any of the CCTV channels you can try to catch a re-run. There's also this page with individual videos: http://chunwan.cntv.cn/2016/yd/index.shtml As well as these 4 1h videos 《2016央视春节联欢晚会》 20160207 1/4 《2016央视春节联欢晚会》 20160207 2/4 《2016央视春节联欢晚会》 20160207 3/4 《2016央视春节联欢晚会》 20160207 4/4 (I haven't tried to play any of these, no guarantee) Edit: corrected the links.

Shelley Posted February 7, 2016 at 08:21 PM Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 at 08:21 PM You could try here, CCTV news with commentary and subtitles in English http://english.cntv.cn/special/2016springfestival/gala/index.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisha2766 Posted February 7, 2016 at 08:24 PM Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 at 08:24 PM Thanks! I think one of those will work. But for now I think we will watch puppy bowl while I'm cooking then watch the replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumbering Ox Posted February 8, 2016 at 01:26 AM Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 at 01:26 AM Omni TV in Canada has it on but no subtitles so I can't follow along. Seems like a lot of campy cheese. Year of the monkey, about time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
