With the passionate growth of basketball teenagers and the imminent national competition, it is easy for people to forget one fact - the entire story of " Slam Dunk " actually originated from a "female coagulation".
"Hello, my name is Haruko Akagi. Do you like basketball?" When Haruko Akagi fell in love with Sakuragi Hanamichi's tall stature and big muscles, the delinquent boy found a new direction in life. The reason why Sakuragi Hanamichi was abandoned last time was because his ex-girlfriend fell in love with Oda, who played basketball.
Speaking of which, the basketball court is the most "female" place. When I watched "Slam Dunk", it was an eternal problem to argue about who was the most handsome and charismatic. It was more likely to trigger an aesthetic war than asking "Who is your favorite in F4?" So much so that netizens had to make a difficult compromise of "Sakuragi as the elder brother, Rukawa as the husband, and Mitsui as the brother." Anyway, itās been a long time since Hard Candy had that feeling of ātwo enemies, itās hard to leave behindā. Until I watched iQiyiās new variety show āI Play Basketball in Hengdianā, the joy of being spoiled came back.
Yan Chengxu is an outstanding actor in both sex and art. His arms are so thick that you can hold them without saying a word. Look at the line of his arm drawing an arc in the air, and bang, the ball goes in. Question Shancai, understand Shancai, and become Shancai.
Yu Haoming Kuku said to Zhu Zixiao "This classmate, you are very cool", and together with Yan Chengxu, they pulled Mr. Hard Candy into the meteor shower universe. Elliston didn't play enough, Duan Mulei, stay in Hengdian and dunk passionately! Even Ji Lingchen, who had a toothy smile and was a bit naive, made the crowd feel the charm of a sports student.
used to say that "there is no basketball without brothers". After watching "I Play Basketball in Hengdian", Mr. Hard Candy has three additional opinions: there is no basketball without women, there is no basketball without male competition, and there is no basketball without men.
āIāve been obsessed with being mentally retardedā, āBelieving girls ask God to give me a boyfriend who can play basketballā, āIām so handsome even when Iām pretendingā, āIāve recruited all the domestic entertainment stars to play ballāā¦ Obviously, there are a lot of women The audience agrees with Mr. Hard Candyās point of view. iQiyi has indeed found a new way to open all-male variety shows. Men play ball, and women watch men play. It can be said that everyone gets what he deserves, and the beauty is shared.
While other male group portrait variety shows are still immersed in competition, brotherhood, and self-transformation, "I Play Basketball in Hengdian" has opened up a new track for "female gaze". Not to be alarmist, Mr. Hard Candy is just here to "buy goods".
I am very bothered about choosing a concubine on the court.
"I Play Basketball in Hengdian" is a basketball social reality show produced by iQiyi. It uses a "basketball game" to bring together many celebrities and Hengdian actors to show the charm of basketball from a non-athlete perspective. and a real social life. Huang Minghao , Ji Lingchen, Liu Genghong , Yan Chengxu, Yu Haoming, Zheng Yecheng serve as permanent guests, King serves as the host, Sun Yue and Xu Nuo serve as coaches, Mina , and Liang Jiarui serve as commentators.
Itās been a long time since Iāve had a variety show that allowed Mr. Hard Candy to experience the feeling of āall the peacocks spreading their wings, just to please meā. In "I Play Basketball in Hengdian", we can "stare" as openly as possible. Our eyes are their stimulant, and our cheers are the driving force of the stadium.
From a female perspective, "I Play Basketball in Hengdian" answers two important issues in the current entertainment industry. First, how to present male hormones simply and directly without making people feel artificial or greasy. The physical confrontation, sweating, and real physical combat in basketball are undoubtedly the best methods.
Yan Chengxu's hook shot is very cool, Zhou Pakho's eyes when he shoots free throws are very killing me, Ji Lingchen's breakthrough in a desperate situation is explosive, I really like Huang Minghao's smart young man who plays with brains... The comments from the female audience are like a large-scale election Concubine scene. After watching the
competition, Mr. Hard Candy understood that the emperor in the palace battle drama was by no means fatuous, but that his beauty made him not want to make a fair judgment. For example, if Ji Lingchen sued Chengxu for deliberately pushing him down, I would naturally be reluctant to impose a severe punishment. He had no choice but to ask Ji Lingchen to offer some words of comfort, and also punished Yan Chengxu by turning back twice.Just as he cheered loudly for Li Xinze, he looked back and saw that Huang Minghao had already thrown himself into his arms, "Your Majesty, I can also shoot, why are you looking at other concubines!" How can you not be so happy that your mind is turned upside down.
Second, what kind of masculinity do female audiences need? In addition to physical attraction, sports competition also condenses many universally recognized and popular masculinities. Ji Lingchen's several high jump challenges set off a wave of enthusiasm in the audience. This kind of squeamish feeling is very real and cute. Comparing with "The Legend of Zhen Huan", isn't it the Concubine Hua who "does not let herself be arrogant but is arrogant many times"?
Pakho Chau is the representative of Hong Kong men. He is calm and mature, and even the wrinkles are on the hearts of his fans. The breathless concentration during free throws and the decisiveness revealed are intoxicating. It feels like it doesn't matter whether he makes a free throw or not. The moment the ball is released, it's like a general's arrow leaving the string. No wonder Mina shouted on the sidelines: "I only prefer Pakho Chau!"
Li Xinze is the versatile An Xiaoniao, and his breakthroughs on the court make people feel like "I don't know what surprises you have." The moment she passed someone with her crotch pierced, the opponent and the audience were stunned. Mr. Hard Candy, who was immersed in the fairy martial arts master he had played, sat up in shock, "Brother, you are really good at martial arts!" When the MVP was holding the ring of the great sage and kissing it, he was as innocent as a child.
Liu Genghong and Huang Minghao represent the elder brother type and the younger brother type respectively, and you can choose them from year to year. Liu Genghong insisted on playing after being injured, which is a reflection of responsibility. Huang Minghao is flexible but not lacking in perseverance. He was unwilling to give up even when he was exhausted in the later stage. The stubborn "Yu Rao" makes people forget their vulgarity when they see it.
As Sean Nixon emphasizes in "Exhibiting Manliness," the aggregation of specific masculinities always relies on the act of "seeing." "I Play Basketball in Hengdian" also uses the female gaze to complete the reconstruction and highlighting of masculinity.
social group portrait, no basketball without brothers
"My shortcoming is that when there is confrontation, it is the beginning of my bossing." Liu Genghong's confession makes people feel that "I Play Basketball in Hengdian" is indeed easy to get people to boss. This is not only because the show has exciting duels, but also because it shows the true social status of celebrities after get off work, and even after get off work for you and me.
With just one game, we can quickly get the social group portraits and team responsibilities of star players. This is closely related to their personality and inseparable from past experience. The eldest brother, Liu Genghong, plays point guard. Although he occasionally speaks fiercely, he always leads by example. Even though he was injured before the game, he still shouldered the responsibility of captain and persisted in the game.
Zhuge Huang Minghao is flexible and changeable, and is good at finding advantages in chaotic situations to break through; Yan Chengxu and Zhou Pakho do not speak much, but they have both strength and handsomeness; Ji Lingchen is tall and has long arms. Although he is suppressed by the worldly twin towers, he is still brave Breakthrough; Zhu Zixiao became a source of joy on the court, constantly throwing away excellent scoring opportunities created by his teammates. When he said frustratedly to his coach Sun Yue: "My basketball dream ends here." The audience shouted loudly: "Are you here to do a skit?"
went on a rampage and the team fell behind by a big score and never gave up. He won the respect of his opponents and the audience. In the high-intensity confrontation, we may have overlooked the fact that they teamed up for the first time. Finding breakthroughs in adversity is also the core of sportsmanship. The Rampage team is always actively responding to tactical adjustments, personnel replacements, and psychological construction.
Just as the coach promised: "None of us have advantages, our advantage is love." In the ending of "Slam Dunk", Xiangbei did not dominate the country, which is not a perfect ending in many people's minds. However, the significance of basketball is not the final score, but how we treat a game and live up to our youth.
After the game, Zheng Yecheng's brother's game was full of warm life-like atmosphere, which made people recall their green years and basketball dreams. A man is still a teenager until he dies, and no one has a slam dunk dream. Yu Haoming ran a long way just to buy Kung Pao Chicken, which requires five ingredients (symbolizing the five basketball players).I'm interested, but I wonder if the point guard should eat more peanuts or diced chicken to help his performance?
Zheng Yecheng said: "Although I am very good, but as long as I am here, I will not let this position be vacant." Zhu Zixiao next to him nodded fiercely. Although he did not score a goal, he did run around the field and risked his life today. Yan Chengxu lamented: "I suddenly discovered that people who play basketball are so cute, which reminds me of my past."
Ji Lingchen said that Liu Genghong's communication gave him a sense of fighting and even wanted to conduct systematic training. Don't set the flag casually. Promise to make up for it immediately: "You can practice the system for one year (that's enough)." Liu Genghong apologized to his boss for his boss, "Even Jaylen would yell at me when I was playing" - well, I think look!
A new interpretation of the all-male variety show
The all-male variety show has made remarkable achievements in brotherhood and male group portraits. " Extreme Challenge " made us remember the extreme men's gang. Several MCs showed their talents and played the game to realize the value of the game; "Brother Overcoming All Troubles" opened a door for self-breakthrough for the troubled middle-aged male stars. open the door to allow the audience and the market to see more possibilities.
From a vertical perspective, "Extreme Challenge" and "Brother Overcoming All Troubles" have both made in-depth exploration of the male track, and Zhuyu's lead has also made it increasingly difficult for similar variety shows to break through. There have been many homogeneous works on the market, but it is difficult to replicate their success. Of course, selecting people is a reason, but the dilemma of patterning cannot be ignored.
is also an all-male variety show. Hard Candy is pleased to find that "I Play Basketball in Hengdian" has taken a new path: using a female perspective to deconstruct the male world, and exploring new perspectives and cores from external behavior to internal logic. . As male celebrities being viewed, their images and symbols appear more fresh and interesting after being reconstructed by female viewers.
Todayās female viewers not only have to āeat something goodā but also decide their own menu. The user portraits of all-male variety shows in the past were probably similar to male novels and movies, which excluded many female viewers. "I Play Basketball in Hengdian", which advocates fun basketball and national sports, puts the remote control in the hands of female users. The core of "choosing a concubine" is aesthetic autonomy.
When the players take free throws, the audience will shout their names loudly. Maybe they have gained a group of "fans" of their own at this moment. In addition to the female perspective, the identity switching and contrast of the actors are also a major highlight of "I Play Basketball in Hengdian". They galloped on the basketball court, virtually shortening the psychological distance with the audience. He is no longer an artist with a variety of roles, but a brother who can score points with us.
At the same time, "I Play Basketball in Hengdian", which focuses on the spare time life of actors in Hengdian, also presents a new way of socializing. After nightfall, the actors in Hengdian put on new social identities and transformed into golf experts, which was a surprise. The first two phases of the Renqing Shicai team were amazing enough, and the third phase of the "Shquan Tiancai Team" has raised expectations even more - Yan Yikuan, Lan Zhenglong, Wang Ce, Song Ningfeng, are they trying to kill handsome people without paying for their lives? It is recommended that the audience vote on the spot and perform a part with them to enjoy the show.
restores the simplest happiness that basketball brings us, and at the same time solves the industry problem of how female audiences can immerse themselves in watching all-male variety shows. "I Play Basketball in Hengdian", which gives the right to speak to female audiences, has undoubtedly found a new solution to the all-male variety show.
