On the night of June 15, the new variety show "City Hide and Seek" premiered on Hunan Satellite TV. According to the ratings data of Kuyun, the ratings data of this brand new variety show are very good, with a score of 0.4349%, ranking first on satellite TV in the same period that night. Obviously, the audience's expectations for the new variety show are still very high.
However, in sharp contrast to the ratings results, this variety show has received negative reviews on Douban and other places. When I comment on movies, TV series, and variety shows, I generally use the words "unfavorable reviews" very cautiously. However, after the broadcast of "City Hide and Seek", there was indeed no effective praise on Douban and other places. All that can be seen in the screenshots are one-star and two-star reviews.
Judging from the comments from netizens, some are venting their emotions, while others are serious and reasonable, saying that this brand new variety show is not good to watch. For example, if the first segment of this program is full of idiots, passers-by should not recognize them. Of course, it is just to vent their emotions and cannot be taken as serious reasoning.
The first issue of "City Hide and Seek" should be divided into two parts. The second link is the familiar cat and mouse game. The first part is about content that is not familiar to everyone. The celebrities dress up as passers-by on the street so that passers-by cannot recognize them. At present, the first session has formed a lot of emotional negative reviews from the audience. I think saying that celebrity artists are stupid is indeed a bit of a backstabbing.
On the contrary, in "City Hide and Seek", the first link is still somewhat interesting. First of all, this link has a clear game purpose, and the audience has already observed it from a God's perspective. This is the most interesting part of the variety show. Then, celebrities pretend to be passers-by, and passers-by want to find the stars, which has a simple confrontation effect. Of course, it is also interesting that this group of celebrities hide their success. Let Andy Lau hide, there will definitely be nowhere to hide. Of course it is easy to hide it for the "Thai Pants Hot" people.
The large number of effective negative reviews of "City Hide and Seek" are actually concentrated on the second link. This cat and mouse game is played by a large number of urban youths. Everyone uses the positioning function of mobile phones to play this game in some squares in the city. For the audience, everyone is actually looking forward to a "cat and mouse" game from a variety show perspective. However, this brand-new variety show did not achieve the restoration of this perspective, especially it did not use the mobile phone positioning function.
This link is more like Hunan Satellite TV's previous "All Members Accelerating", but it lacks some of the climax content of "All Members Accelerating". The fun part about cat and mouse is hiding. In this variety show, this concept of hiding has indeed not been explored. Maybe, because of the star aura, the concept of hiding itself cannot be well constructed. Perhaps, this variety show is difficult to produce from the source, and there are many difficulties in on-site shooting. Shooting and hiding are inherently in conflict.
In addition, in this link, there are too few confrontational parts, which makes it unsightly. For example, after a cat encounters a mouse, it starts pursuit mode. This in itself is a very nice-looking link. However, the physical strength of our stars is really poor. We can't blame them for this. These celebrities control their diet every day, wishing that every one of them was under 100 pounds. As a result, they are on the verge of malnutrition. Letting these "disaster victims" run is in itself a difficult task.
Therefore, in the game, the audience saw celebrities who said "I can't do it" after running a few steps. No running, no fighting. This is actually the theme concept of " run ". To the end, "City Hide and Seek" actually continues the theme of "Run". The two variety shows overlap in their focus. However, "Run" also has the function of making people laugh. In "City Hide and Seek", you can't run, nor can you make fun of it.
In addition, "City Hide and Seek" doesn't even have the final process of "catching". In "Run", there is a classic game, which is to tear off the name tag. Finding the opponent and tearing off the name tag is considered a victory. This is a simple game confrontation method. The simpler the rules and the higher the confrontation when executed. This brand-breaking game once became a popular game content for young people with the popularity of "Run".
On the other hand, in "City Hide and Seek", a white fake tail is set on the tail of the "rats", which is quite a bit like tearing off famous brands. However, the reason why the game of tearing off famous brands is interesting is that it involves tearing each other apart. You can tear mine apart, but if you are not careful, your cleverness will be mistaken for your cleverness, and I will tear you apart. This kind of tearing each other off is the most interesting thing. In the program setting of "City Hide and Seek", there is only one-way tearing and there is no such mutual tearing. This loses an important point. The so-called highlight is actually the instability of the results.
In this case, it is understandable that the audience reputation of "City Hide and Seek" is not high. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
