On March 23, the first episode of " Wuha 4" was launched. This season's program has invited star artists such as Deng Chao , Chen He , Lu Han , Fan Zhiyi , Dong Baoshi and Wang Mian . The first program, after a "shabby" opening ceremony, entered the stage of taking trains and buses in Laos.
From the perspective of fan entertainment attributes, the first episode of this season can obviously meet the relaxation needs of fan audiences for following variety shows. Especially some so-called famous scenes of variety shows can make fan-type audiences happy. In fact, for non-fan viewers, a lot of the content inside seems to be staged. For example, on the slope, some popular celebrities slip or fall on purpose, etc.
Apart from the fan filter, the first episode of this variety show obviously cannot make ordinary viewers laugh. Especially when more and more viewers know that this type of reality show is a typical show, no one will think these "scenes" are funny. Editor, I belong to this kind of non-fan audience. When I saw several celebrities snatching a car with Laotian characteristics, my embarrassment slowly rose. This is a farce that only children can play at playing house.
"Five Ha 4" looks more and more like a running man in its farcical treatment of the reality show segment. Reality show variety shows such as Running Man emerged along with the momentum of China’s popular celebrities. This type of reality show variety show is not difficult to produce, but it is also simplistic and farcical in the process. However, because of the young age and simplicity of this kind of content, it actually gained the self-pleasure of fan audiences. This type of self-excitement can also become popular after superimposed changes in the quantity base.
However, after many years of broadcasting, this type of young reality show will become more and more boring. Whether it is Running Man's variety show or this time's " 五哈", they are no longer enough to attract passerby audiences. Of course, we still need to face the truth: many fan-type audiences can only appreciate such young variety reality shows. In the past, some indoor stage-style celebrity game show variety shows were still popular among younger audiences.
The biggest problem with the first reality show of "Five Ha 4" is that it is aimless. Of course, the fan audience will be satisfied if they can see their idol artists making themselves laugh. However, for ordinary viewers, they do not want to see plots pieced together one after another, but they need to see a purposeful narrative. What is going to happen next, what happened before, what is the connection with the next, etc., these need to be known to the general audience in advance.
The biggest problem with celebrity reality shows is that once you think about it, you don't know what will happen next, because the content of these reality shows is put together mechanically. After such a comparison, some reality shows that limit the content of the entire issue are more interesting. For example, "Chinese Restaurant" is about opening a restaurant. For another example, "Dear Inn" is about running an inn.
If a variety show wants to be good, the most important thing is to limit the format and content. Like the current situation of "Five Ha", there are no restrictions, but even in one scene, the group of stars start to engage in farce and conflict performances, which is already in a typical boring state. On the contrary, those reality shows that are limited to making good meals and running the inn are relatively good-looking because of the clear "main story conflict".
Variety reality shows such as "Five Ha" have relied solely on popular celebrity artists to make people laugh to obtain broadcast numbers. However, when it comes to Doulezi, traffic stars are very amateurs. From an entertainment point of view, this type of reality show is not as good as "Ace vs. Ace " hosted by Shen Teng and Jia Ling. In terms of comedy baggage and professionalism of the story, this type of reality show cannot compare to variety shows such as "Happy Comedian".
Therefore, "Five Ha" is now in a very difficult situation. In terms of the professional attributes of reality shows, it can no longer be compared with many variety shows that have clearly defined formats and content. This type of celebrity reality show variety show can only provide fans with some ways to create some so-called hot searches on the Internet in their own programs. However, this kind of self-pleasure by fans will eventually make more ordinary viewers feel bored.
In other words, to watch this kind of variety show, you need to lower your aesthetic wisdom. And can this kind of reduction really relieve stress? How is this different from the two-person performances we watch? (Text/Ma Qingyun)
