But before these variety shows are launched, the new ace variety show has met the audience.
According to data, the variety show "Cat in the Box" took the number one spot on the platform game competition variety show list as soon as it was launched. Even classic ace variety shows such as "Run" and "Ace vs. Ace" were crushed by this new variety show.

Brand-new gameplay, endless laughter, "Cat in the Box" is hilarious.
Today's domestic variety shows are becoming more and more diverse in form. There are interviews and games, outdoor pursuits, and criminal investigation. There are also people who do emotional observation when they are in love.
It’s just that the more variety shows there are, the more complicated the variety shows are, and the original intention of the variety shows is also easy to change. Instead of moving and making audiences laugh, many variety shows today are more snobbish and shameless, creating gimmicks and attracting traffic. Regardless of whether they are funny or embarrassing, they only want the attention of netizens.
Fortunately, "Cat in the Box" has not forgotten its original intention. This variety show plays a script-killing game with a brand-new concept.
Players will enter another time and space set by the program team, play specific roles, enter the plot, and receive tasks. Players in the game have the concept of "cat" and have 9 lives to constantly face challenges.
Their main goal is to escape from the box world, complete challenges in the plot, and reveal the truth of the dimensional world.
also has elements of script killing and escape rooms, but "Cat in the Box" opens up a new gameplay and is more dramatic. For example, in the first issue, the resident guest came to a school to investigate the truth about the mysterious disappearance of students.
In this world, they have their own complete and independent story lines, but because everything is unknown, players and audiences are full of curiosity and are very involved.
Not only that, "Cat in the Box" also did not forget to create highlights during the plot. In the first episode, the famous scene where Zhang Yixing hid behind Huang Bo and screamed, successfully made the audience laugh. Lean forward and close behind.
Not only that, the sparks caused by the unexpected collision between the guests are also very interesting, such as Zhang Yixing who ran out like a monkey after hearing the order "Failed students stay". For example, it was learned that classmate Chen Xiaohe fell in love early and Huang Xiaobo's girlfriend got involved, or the homophonic phrase " Chen He bucket" was used in a sentence. These are all unexpected effects provided by guests outside of the plot.
Of course, the most eye-catching aspect of "Cat in the Box" is the reunion of the extreme men's gang before the content of the program's main film is fully fermented.
FHM reunion, the familiar flavor is back
The variety show "Cat in the Box" actually attracted many netizens to watch during the pre-heating period because of the reunion of the extreme FHM.
The " Extreme Challenge " series is still going on, but the original crew has left one by one. Now "Extreme Challenge" is completely another show. Because of this, the audience misses the man who has become a thing of the past even more. Helped.
But "The Cat in the Box" made up for the audience's regret to a certain extent.
This time, Huang Lei , as the producer of the show, hid behind the scenes. Although he did not participate in the pre-scene recording of the show, recalling Huang Lei's IQ in the early days of "Extreme Challenge", he is suitable to retreat behind the scenes, thinking Prank guests in various ways.
As soon as "The Cat in the Box" was released, the way Huang Bo and Zhang Yixing were frightened was probably Huang Lei's work.
As a member of the Men's Gang, Huang Lei understands the tone of these brothers best, which is why in the later period, the Men's Gang turned on the Wreck-It King mode, and the show can still be recorded on the ground.
In addition to Huang Lei, Huang Bo, Zhang Yixing, Wang Xun all supported the premiere of "Cat in the Box".
As the biggest celebrity in the entire show, the only reason why Huang Bo participated in this variety show was because he was instigated by Huang Lei. During the show, Huang Bo revealed that he had no idea about the content and format of this show. When Huang Lei asked him to come, he just The fart came.
Should I say it or not, the relationship between FHM is good. From the current point of view, Huang Lei’s approach to Huang Bo is also the wisest choice. He is obviously the tough guy in this show, and it all depends on Huang Bo to run the plot. As for Zhang Yixing, he is responsible for making the goose laugh next to him.
Since leaving "Extreme Challenge", the little sheep has become a little fox. Zhang Yixing, who is more and more familiar with variety show routines, is now the god of variety shows. Some cute on-the-spot reactions can always burst into inexplicable laughter.
Huang Bo entered the plot seriously while Zhang Yixing laughed and bent over. Although we didn’t know what was so funny, Zhang Yixing’s appearance of laughing so hard that he couldn’t stop really made everyone laugh.
Sure enough, variety shows still have to watch the acquaintance game. Huang Bo and Zhang Yixing's tacit understanding on the show, their intimacy that does not require any foreshadowing, makes the variety show so exciting.
And Wang Xun is still the honest person with slow reaction. At the beginning of the show, Wang Xun performed an explosive hip-hop dance. He looked serious and busy, but he didn't know what he was doing.
When Huang Bo saw Wang Xun dancing, he laughed directly beside him. At this moment, the familiar smell of "Extreme Challenge" came back.
It’s a pity that without Sun Honglei , otherwise I wouldn’t be able to imagine how beautiful “The Cat in the Box” would be.
Of course, the most amazing thing about "Cat in the Box" is not that it brings together Huang Lei, Huang Bo, Zhang Yixing, and Wang Xun, but that it brings together the veterans of "Extreme Challenge" and " Running Man " who once triggered a world war Together.
, a man who never cares about the rules, met , Zheng Kai, , and Chen He, who were very rule-abiding. This unexpected chemical reaction became even more intense.
