Why is a CCTV popular science program on a path of no return?
This starts with a CCTV employee who has just entered the workplace.
"Approach to Science" was broadcast in 1998, and it was a "serious program" focusing on science at the beginning.

transformation is the only way out.
In 2004, a CCTV employee named Zhang Guofei competed for employment as the producer of "Approaching Science".
He brought a whole new point of view:
What we do is TV shows, not scientific research. The function of
TV is to entertain, entertain and disseminate information. The function of education is far less direct than that of school. Therefore, the form of preaching is not feasible.
First of all, pay close attention to the story of the show.
He once introduced his admiration to the story to a reporter-
talked about the master of magicDavid Copperfield.
He believes that the reason why David's magic is famous all over the world is not only because of his superb skills, but also because of Copperfield's first-rate storytelling ability.
Once, before performing the trapeze, David Copperfield said an opening statement:
"I had a dream when I was a child, that is to fly in the sky." The audience at

Later, a unique "approach to science culture" was formed on the Internet.
, for example, ridiculed "Approach to Science".
Simple tutorial: "Snoring" is not called "snoring", it is called "the horror sound in the middle of the night"; "neuropathy" is not called "neuropathy", it is called "soul out of the body" or "zombie possession". The full text requires extensive use of sentences such as "However, an unexpected thing happened" and "It is far from this simple...".

At this time you still want to escape the story, there is no way.
Next, the show will introduce the true protagonist of the story-an ancient corpse displayed in the

invited the curator to describe the state of the male corpse: "When we opened the inner coffin, the male corpse was like a real person asleep. His skin is also yellow in color; the elasticity of his body is the same as that of a real person; and The limbs and fingers can still move slightly."

However, something unexpected happened. The good times are not long.

In 2006, he was named and criticized by "People's Daily Online". The words used by
are completely unrelenting-
, a national television station, has turned a scientific program that was originally a public welfare program into a curious program, which is very shameless. Like a tabloid newspaper or a local small TV station, it is completely dependent on the ratings, caress about it, has no tolerance, and is constantly attractedThe audience's eyes were complacent. Does such a show have the courage to claim to be "a banner of Chinese TV science"? Faced with such a bad TV ecology, when will we see the "good-looking popular science programs" produced by ourselves?
"Approach to Science" has gone farther and farther from the road of making stories, and also farther and farther from "science".
Popular science has become a tasteless story.
For example, in this issue of "Walking Corpse", the final explanation is not science, but folklore.
The corpse slayer will remove the deceased’s hands, feet, and head, and use straw to pierce a very delicate scarecrow, or wrap him with local palm bark, treat it on the spot, and then carry it on his body. Cover with clothes.
"Strange Sounds in Ancient Temples" this issue also invited wood scientists and psychologists to answer:
footsteps are only the sound caused by the expansion and change of the old wood between wet and dry weather... many people I heard it all because of subconscious hints.
But the explanation is too sloppy and hard to convince people.
This was also the most criticized question on the show at the time-
was too focused on the creation of horror and suspense, but the answer to the suspense was quickly announced.

"Approaching Science" is reduced to a sand sculpture.
"Haunted House in Mountain Village":
has been an uninhabited house for many years always glowing, and will disappear as soon as a person approaches. Later, it turned out that it was the reflected light on the glass...
"ghost pulls the light in the middle of the night": The light in the new house of

ordinary houses caught fire more than 80 times in just 5 days. They all said they had encountered a wild fire, and they were sent guards and experiments. Truth: This little daughter was arson.
"Ghosts in the middle of the night": The village of
always makes inexplicable ghost calls in the middle of the night. Everyone suffers from insomnia, and secrets about wild beasts are heard.
guess what beast?
Answer: A fat man who snores loudly...
Even so, Zhang Guofei still refuses to admit defeat, and directly refutes:
As for the question of mystery, I think it is attractive first. For our TV show, I hope first. It can attract people; second, it can inspire people; third, it can infect people. This is the most ideal, but the premise is to attract people, whether it is to inspire or infect people. If it is not attractive, you have something to say and no one wants to listen.

"Story" is placed first, and "science" is placed lowest. Zhang Tengyue, the host of

Of course, the program is ultimately no match for the pressure of public opinion.
Since 2009, the program has returned to popular science, and the ratings have gradually dropped.
Until now, the show has been stopped.

Many people say that the significance of "Approach to Science" is that it clears away folk ignorance and superstition.

But in Sir's mind, its greatest significance lies in the courage of
to pull the supreme ideas of science, technology, and reason into the folk and dust. The dynamic principle of the

And they, like "Approach to Science", stimulate readers' curiosity and fear of the unknown in the form of grounding.
This is why Sir said at the beginning of the article:
’s broadcast history is also the history of your growth.
-When we are young, we will be stimulated by novelty and become fanatical about data; when
matures, we know what we want, and then we take the initiative to learn knowledge and broaden our horizons.
The end of "Approaching Science" is not the end. The
program guides us to "close" science.
But only we can truly "enter" science.
