《Come on! "Cheerleaders" is similar to the diving variety show from many years ago. The promotional points given by the program team are of course sportsmanship, competitive spirit, athletic temperament, etc. But for us ordinary viewers, why watch diving variety shows? We ourselves know it very well. In fact, this time "Let's Play!" "Cheerleading" is similar. For middle-aged and elderly viewers like me, if you want to appreciate the spirit of sports, you can just go to the Olympics, why bother watching the cheerleaders dance.
I actually watched this variety show with colored glasses. I wonder if the producers and directors of this variety show were aware of the tinted glasses problem of our middle-aged and elderly audience when they were originally creating the show. In fact, for many variety shows, it is unavoidable that there is a group of viewers who come here just for color. Are there no viewers of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" wearing such colored glasses? Can the various female team talent shows in the past avoid the audience’s colored glasses?
I think, none of them can be avoided. As long as the program crew does not promote such content through tinted glasses, the original intention of the program is the sportsmanship announced by the program crew, not the vulgar taste of the program. A very interesting detail is that in order to prevent more viewers from watching this variety show with colored glasses, when the members of the cheerleading team dance, many of the cooler costumes are lined by the program crew.
During the intermission of real sports games, the cheerleaders who come up to do cheerleading really don’t know how to wear underwear. I sometimes think that when we criticize a lot of content imported from the West, we are always unwilling to admit its erotic side and are always willing to put a garland of art on it. Is this really right? For example, many Western oil paintings include paintings of women wearing little clothing. According to our literary and artistic theory, this is an artistic painting. And when I read the works of Westerners themselves, they said that this is actually erotic painting.
Like the midfield of a competitive game, the part where the cheerleaders come on stage to dance, we all discuss it in the public domain and classify it as artistic content. However, as imported products, can they really be appreciated as art in the West's own field? I have doubts about this. I feel that cheerleading and those Western oil paintings of women in cool clothes may have the same effect. When looking at it, there is no need to attach an artistic laurel to it.
If you think along this line, maybe I watch this variety show with colored glasses, but on the contrary, I am removing the fake and retaining the real. And where does the real beauty of cheerleading come from? Is it through dance movements that the sexiness itself is conveyed? In real life, more and more friends have admitted that Western Latin dance is actually a warm-up dance for men and women before pleasure, a dance that expresses joy and sexiness. So, what does this cheerleading convey? Is it the kind of sexual tension that sports itself carries?
Without talking about the issue of sexual tension, it may not be easy to clearly discuss the art form and content of cheerleading itself. Of course, this article is not intended to talk about content that is not suitable for children, but to explore the origins of cheerleading. If we evaluate cheerleading according to the requirements of sexual tension, the quality of a dance seems to be more clear. Of course, in "Let's Play!" In the variety show "Cheerleaders", he also gave his own evaluation standards. Although this standard may confuse many viewers. In the
program, this method of promotion and final team formation still feels like a girl group. However, in the past, girl group talent show variety shows were all about singing and dancing. "Come on!" "Cheerleading" only dances, no songs.This draft model also seems to determine that even if the program succeeds in forming a team or a group, the future market of this new group seems to be limited. Members who can’t do cheerleading should dance and sing at the same time.
In other words, after forming a group, let these cheerleaders dance on the field and become cheerleaders? Although there are already some private cheerleading performances in domestic competitions, after all, the market is very small and not enough to support a well-known cheerleading group. In fact, many professional leagues are now on the verge of losing their brand sponsorships, let alone the midfield dance sessions of professional games.
Based on this, I feel that this kind of variety show, which is similar to a girl group audition, can only take advantage of the popularity of the Olympics to meet the audience. After the first season, there will be no second season. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
