　　据CCTV《人才搜索》通知上显示，海选将在纽约，华盛顿，休斯顿，芝加哥，洛杉矶和旧金山这几个地方举行。

Although the gala has enjoyed staggering ratings since the first event was held in 1983, it has been criticized in recent years for not showcasing enough relevant content to net in China's changing demographic, especially the country's youth。

　　尽管春晚自1983年开始举办以来一直都保持着惊人的收视率，但是近几年来也一直由于展现力度不够饱受批评，特别是在青少年中。
