Guest realmayo Posted February 7, 2016 at 12:40 PM Report Posted February 7, 2016 at 12:40 PM CCTV News has English-speaking hosts talking viewers through what's going on... Quote

Shelley Posted February 7, 2016 at 01:20 PM Report 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
Meng Lelan Posted February 7, 2016 at 01:30 PM Report Posted February 7, 2016 at 01:30 PM Are those actors or are they actually military guys acting? Quote
guest1234 Posted February 7, 2016 at 02:05 PM Report Posted February 7, 2016 at 02:05 PM Watching it on CCTV 4 here in UK. Quote
edelweis Posted February 7, 2016 at 02:06 PM Report Posted February 7, 2016 at 02:06 PM Question: is there an electric version of traditional Chinese string instruments? Edit: oh, nice beard. Quote
Shelley Posted February 7, 2016 at 02:10 PM Report 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

edelweis Posted February 7, 2016 at 02:33 PM Report 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. Quote
edelweis Posted February 7, 2016 at 04:48 PM Report Posted February 7, 2016 at 04:48 PM And done. With a few more 全面建成小康社会决胜阶段的伟大胜利 at the end. At least it's good for review. Quote
Meng Lelan Posted February 7, 2016 at 04:52 PM Report 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
trisha2766 Posted February 7, 2016 at 05:59 PM Report 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
edelweis Posted February 7, 2016 at 06:37 PM Report 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. Search page: http://search.cctv.com/search.php?qtext=2016年春节联欢晚会&type=video#%23%23 Quote
Shelley Posted February 7, 2016 at 08:21 PM Report 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
trisha2766 Posted February 7, 2016 at 08:24 PM Report 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
Lumbering Ox Posted February 8, 2016 at 01:26 AM Report 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
