, there was a rare silence at the recording site of " Ace vs. Ace ". The hosts Shen Teng and Yang Di left the stage with embarrassed faces, and Hua Chenyu, who has always been active, was also missing. This famous variety show seems to be eclipsed, and its former glory is fading. The funny combination of
Shen Teng and Jia Ling was once a hit, and their tacit understanding and interaction often attracted a climax from the audience. People are looking forward to seeing Jia Ling appear in every episode of the show, joking back and forth with Shen Teng. However, the recording of this episode was greatly compromised due to Jia Ling's absence. The reason is that she has other work commitments temporarily and is unable to participate. Although Shen Teng worked hard on the stage, he clearly felt that the whole show lacked the warmth and vitality of the past.
Tang Yan was temporarily invited to fill the vacancy. Unfortunately, she and Shen Teng were not familiar with each other, and there was no tacit understanding between the two. The entire recording process was like performing a classroom drama. The staff and audience in the audience were silently waiting for time to pass, and the atmosphere at the scene was solemn.
What’s even more frustrating is that Sha Yi also failed to appear. The veteran entertainer was originally a steady source of laughter on the show. His dull expression and funny behavior always made the audience burst into laughter. But in the latest issue, Sha Yi's position is empty.
is said to have failed to reach an agreement with the producers on the remuneration issue, and coupled with Jia Ling's sudden departure, the lineup of this show suddenly shrank significantly.
There are rumors that the program team's practices in terms of celebrity remuneration are worrying, leading to the departure of many outstanding actors. The audience can't help but wonder whether there are too many ulterior stories hidden behind those hearty laughter.
Another episode happened during the birthday session of Guan Xiaotong and . The program team originally planned to give the actress a small birthday surprise, but unexpectedly the trick went wrong, making the atmosphere very embarrassing for a time. Host Shen Teng held an exquisite gift box in his hand and pretended to give it to Guan Xiaotong. But the moment she reached out to take it, Shen Teng deliberately let go of her hand. The gift hit the ground with a loud noise. The original intention was to create a joke effect so that Guan Xiaotong would be deceived, but the joke turned out to be a bit too much, leaving everyone at the scene dumbfounded.
It was obviously just a small prank game, but due to wrong demonstration, the scene got out of control. Tang Yan stood aside and watched anxiously. She wanted to say something fair, but the staff stopped her and signaled her not to interfere in this matter. This is a common hype method for variety shows, but this time due to improper control of the scale, both the actors and the audience were dumbfounded.
Outside the camera, netizens reacted even more violently to this farce. They questioned whether the program team had run out of creativity and whether the pranksters' pranks were too vulgar. Some viewers bluntly said they were tired of it, believing that the model of this program has been too single in recent years, innovative elements have disappeared, and the guests and games in each episode are similar. It has completely become a tool for the producers to create gimmicks, but fortunately it has made some gains in the ratings list.
Indeed, this program was very eye-catching a few years ago, attracting many loyal fans with its novel gameplay. However, if the path is too single, it will lead to a dead end, and the same pattern will sooner or later make people tired. Nowadays, the audience is tired of those blunt routines, such as the touching scenes at the end of each episode and the scenes that make the actors cry goodbye. These elements are too templated, almost like copying Korean variety shows. The audience is eager to see real innovation, rather than producers blindly relying on emotions to attract attention.
The farce that night was just the tip of the iceberg of hidden problems in this historically glamorous variety show. There may be too many unknown stories hidden behind the laughter we see. There may be many secret conflicts buried between the actors and the producers. It is only a matter of time and they will come to the surface one day. The audience has already seen clearly the essence of this program. It needs to re-find its position in the ocean of variety shows and make efforts to reinvent itself, otherwise it will inevitably be eliminated by the times.
In the final analysis, the taste and aesthetic level of the audience determine the life of a TV program. They are eager to see in-depth and creative content, rather than producers using the cheapest means to create gimmicks. This incident made everyone reflect on what kind of responsibility and mission a variety show should have, and how much influence it has on this era. No matter what the future holds, we hope it will rejuvenate and truly bring joy to the audience, rather than being mysterious and deceiving the public. This is the attitude and character that an excellent variety show should have.
