"Overcoming Toughness 2" took over from "Riding the Wind and Waves 3" and aired. The number of broadcasts on the first stage of the premiere has reached 220 million, and it has also swept a dozen hot searches. There have been many competition shows for this type of "brothers and sisters", but there are still audiences who buy them. What attracts the audience the most is the "vitality" of idol stars.
"Memories Kill" is the key
This season's "Overcoming Toughness" invited the popular players of the previous season, Chen Xiaochun does not need much, the last season's champion also won the title of "Stalk King", " Greater Bay Area , "Be Bigger and Stronger" has attracted a lot of fans; Zhang Zhilin , who is also a "Greater Bay Area" player, is also present this season, vividly explaining what it means: carry out elegance to the end.
also has a powerful and popular guest Lee Seung-hyun , who stood out as a first-line artist with the song "Flying in the Sky" last year, and has already received the Youku S+ project. Another Zhang Yunlong is also quite popular.
is based on the popularity and achievements of the previous season. This season's lineup is very luxurious, with Hong Kong and Taiwan artists accounting for two-thirds. The 32 "brothers" include the old, middle and young generations, including 60-year-old Du Dewei , 58-year-old Wen Zhaolun , 56-year-old Ren Xianqi ; there are also young Fan Shiqi, Jin Han, and Yang Changqing. From the post-60s to the post-90s, from actors and singers to dancers and rappers, the 32 guests covered almost all audiences of all ages.
Judging from the song selection of the first public performance, this variety show has won most of the hot searches, and the audience has not yet come out of the "sweet leader" and has become " Su Youpeng girl". In addition, there are Zhang Zhenyue 's "Missing is a Disease", Ren Xianqi's " Sad Pacific ", Wu Kequn 's "Write Poems for You", Zheng Jun 's "Elope" and other classic songs. It caused a chorus of online and offline audiences, and Su Youpeng's personal singing video has reached 19 million+ views on Weibo.
"Sister Lang" and "Brother Phi", the stars invited by programs such as "Lang Jie" and "Phi Ge" have one thing in common: they used to be very popular, they were the youth of a generation, and they also played the "feeling" card in order to arouse the resonance of a generation. Therefore, the criteria for selecting candidates must be representative works that are impressive to the audience, such as " Meteor Garden " by Jerry Yan last season, and "The Apostle Walker" by Lin Feng this season; For example, Yang Mi ex-husband Hawick Lau , creating collective memories is undoubtedly difficult, but triggering collective memories is not so difficult.
Variety shows differ from TV series in that variety shows often rely on the first two episodes to attract audiences. In the first episode of the show, all the contestants sang their own masterpieces or old songs and new songs. It was like a large-scale youth singing party in the 1980s and 1990s. Everyone listened to those songs, but they missed the star-chasing time of the year and bought cassettes. , Buying posters, renting CDs, it's hard to think about it.
The audience sees it as "life force"
As Su Youpeng said in the show: "The years of experience have not made us lose our vitality, creativity, and competitiveness." The audience watched this show for the enthusiasm that they gradually lost in life. The most representative of
are Hong Kong and Taiwan artists. The Hong Kong and Taiwan artists selected this time are all older, and the contrast with the mainland is very obvious. Wu Jianhao is the oldest of the group, but in order to show a better stage effect, he still practices hard, full of energy, and is always the most active one; on the other hand, those young singers, a hypoglycemia almost Fainted, the singer from Thailand has even practiced crying.
and maintaining a good state always requires long-term self-discipline. Wu Jianhao revealed in his preparation that in addition to his daily regular exercise, he usually eats blanched chicken breast, broccoli, , etc. When he appeared in the early years, he was still able to complete difficult performances. It was very exciting for the audience to see that their idol was still the same as before.
What excited the audience was that the "brothers" were constantly fighting for a common goal, just like the theme of this show: "If you want to fight, you will fight and overcome obstacles." After all, this show is still a competition show, although these seniors do not need to rely on the ranking in a show to determine their status in the industry. But when it comes to the competition, they are very serious, whether it is practice or strategy, especially Zheng Jun's group, which seems to lie flat but has very high requirements for the presentation of the work; Wu Ke's group uses all the time to practice, even when watching from the camera. Where it is not seen, the audience can feel the power.
In the first issue, the social scene where the brothers meet for the first time is very interesting, there are shadows of acquaintances in variety shows, everyone can afford to joke. In the last season, the terrier that hot dogs called themselves "puppy" in front of Zhao Wenzhuo is still mentioned by netizens. Many of them are colleagues who have known each other for more than 20 years, especially some artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan. They will let the audience see people with flesh and blood, and even don't mind showing some imperfections. They may be hot-tempered and more straightforward, and some are more socially fearful and cautious. , in short, all kinds of people, not the perfect star packaged like a "dummy".
The meaning of idol is to empower fans
The most basic of idol stars is to do their own work. A high-quality idol will illuminate the lives of fans like a beam of light and encourage fans.
, the Korean boy group Super Junior recently sang and danced at a family concert with full microphone, which caused a heated discussion on the Internet. The group with an average age of 35+ can still maintain the status of "old and young" and is active in variety shows, musicals and other fields , as long as he appears on the stage, he will sweep away all the haze, full of vitality, and bring great power to fans. South Korean "national mc" Jiang Hudong said during the recording of the program: "Although we are recording in the middle of the night, the audience is watching in the evening, and we must maintain a high spirit." This is another important meaning of the existence of stars, for the audience Bring emotional value.
my country's idol industry started late, and the intermittently launched groups failed to form a system. Many idols who came out of the talent show were unemployed when they debuted. It is not that there are not so many stages in China, but their business ability and influence are not comparable to professional singers. .
Many people do not regard idols as a career, but only as an identity, with a bright and beautiful appearance, enjoying high salaries that are difficult for ordinary people to reach, not their ideals. Zhang Yixing once said in an interview that he could give up his life for the stage, and was ridiculed by many people, but after understanding the debut experience of Korean idol groups, you can know that this is not just talk. Zhang Yixing practiced for four years and eight months. The same batch of trainees started from 120 to 100, 60 out of 100, and 24 out of 60.12 out of 24, the last 12 people will be eliminated one week. After such a rigorous screening, what remains is not only excellent business ability, but also a very firm commitment to the idol cause.
The so-called idols that have been drafted in China in recent years, most of them are not very skilled, but they are not on the table. However, driven by interests, in order to quickly have traffic and make quick money, he is biting the bullet, forming a CP in the program, and even more, relying on out-of-tune hot searches, gaining batch after batch of fans, and appearing on the show Go play a few more online dramas, and seize the time to make money while there is traffic.
From this show, we can see that veteran artists treat singers and actors as careers. They have professionalism and enthusiasm for the stage. And many of our idol artists can't focus on their careers, have no works, and are riddled with negative news. Not to mention power for fans, it's good not to block fans.
