The fourth season of "Beyond the Troubles" (referred to as "Phi 4") has been launched. Although it is a heavyweight program on the platform, it coincides with the Olympics, and the response after the broadcast is not much greater than Quan Hongchan's splash.
"Memory Killing" is a tried and tested "killer weapon" in variety shows. "Our Ballad 2022" has made the ballad predecessors such as Lao Lang and Ye Bei "come back"; "Happy Start Again" has rekindled the popularity of the "0731" boy group; "Sister Lang" and "Brother Pi" also rely on " "Memory Killing" reaped the dividends of a wave of emotions.
According to the "H1 Variety Show Webcast Performance and User Analysis Report 2024" released by Yunhe Data, the "Variety n Generation" still dominates the variety show market in the first half of this year. The top five TV variety shows that are effectively broadcast are "Running Man Season 8", "Ace vs. Ace Season 8", "Infinite Class Season 2", "Hello Saturday 2024", "All Teams Accelerated Battle Season", online variety show The first five effective playback are " Hahahahaha Season 4 ", "The Ninth Season of Detective", "The Wind 2024" ("Sister Lang 5") "Season 2 of the Planting Bar", "Flowers and Teenagers · Silk "Lu Ji", it can be seen that the IP effect of "comprehensive n generation" is significant. However, with the expansion of the number of viewers, the audience's aesthetic fatigue and the program's innovativeness have decreased, this year's "Lang Jie 4" ended with the most "quiet" one in history.
"Phi 4" still focuses on "memory cards". Hacken Lee 's songs such as "Red Sun", "Forever", and "French Love" evoke memories of countless people's youth; in the 1990s, Lin Yilun became popular all over the country with his song "Lovebirds". Recently, she came out of the circle again because of her "Fancy Confession to Sun Yingsha" at the Olympics; Hu Xia , who became famous with "Those Years", has not only been active in variety shows in recent years, but also sang a number of popular film and television drama theme songs. Not big, with many representative songs; 2007 Kuainan's "Reemployment Boy Group" is currently popular, and this season Wang Zhengliang will continue the popularity of the previous season; in the rock circle, Liang Long, who just finished "Singer 2024", is on "Brother Pi" "; Among the singers from Taiwan, Cai Minyou's "I Can" and Wei Li'an's "Girl" have a slightly smaller audience, but they all have masterpieces.
The topic of choice for cross-border guests takes the lead. Last season we invited "Gao Qisheng" from "Hurry Up", and this season we invited "Brother Ruthless" spokesperson Aruna, and the variety show's performance is full of expectations. In addition, there are Feng Xiaoyue who became popular with the movie " Little Times ", Fu Xinbo, a former member of the bobo group, Yan Yikuan, one of the "Four Beauties from the End of the World", Kurosawa Ryohei, the husband of "National Goddess" Lin Chiling, and "powerful supporting actors" "And there are Xu Haiqiao who Liu Yifei called, Li Zefeng who "professionally plays a scumbag", and Xiang Zuo, a frequent searcher... all of them are gathered in the "brother" team. These people can basically have something to do with "collective memories". The most unexpected thing is the arrival of "Lipstick Brother" Li Jiaqi, who actually started a "team building" with "Fitness Brother" Liu Genghong in the most popular variety show.
Looking around, although the guests of the new season of "Brother Pi" all have good backgrounds, their firepower is not as good as that of previous seasons. After all, the core of the program is "music competition", and in the end it depends on artistry + character. Double blessing, and this season's guest lineup is a bit confusing, and it looks more and more like a pot of "stew".
After the great success of the first season of "Sister Lang", the third season relied on Cyndi Wang 's "Love You" and Miyori Mei's "Pure Land" to reverse the decline. "Love You" exploded countless "Cyndi Boys" , "Pure Land" captured the two-dimensional crowd. This year, "Lang Jie 5" was criticized for not having a "leading figure" as soon as it aired. After the whole season, the most popular stages became Chen Lijun's " destiny " and Chen Haoyu's "Wild Son", but compared with previous years, Ji is still not a phenomenal stage, and the topics generated during the show's broadcast are also somewhat dull.
The biggest innovation between this year's "Brother Pi" and previous seasons is that this popular show with the label "Brother Becomes Popular" has launched a new competition system, using the "Hot Brother" team and the "Hot Brother" team to compete. The winner of the two teams will be determined by the "fire points" voted by the audience after the stage.The new competition system brings new highlights. On the day of the premiere, the popularity of the game skyrocketed, and the market share of real-time feature playback was as high as 28.96%. However, some viewers did not buy into the introduction of "younger brother" and even thought it had deviated from the original intention.
Looking back on the journey of "Brother Pi", the highlight of the first season is that Jordan Chan, Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhang Zhilin represent the "first generation brothers" and become popular; in the second season, "two generations of brothers" such as Ren Xianqi, Su Youpeng, Raymond Lam and Wu Kequn compete for supremacy. ; In the third season, Wang Yaoqing and Cai Guoqing were the main players, and a few "younger brothers" joined as Green Leaf, and it was initially "difficult to find people"; in the fourth season, "elder brothers" and "younger brothers" were competing against each other, with Jiao Maiqi, Shi Kai, and You Changjing , Qing Lian and other post-95s and post-00s generations are among them. It is no wonder that they are questioned that "brother" is not enough. The audience believes that the "brother vs. younger brother" competition format is novel, but it also deviates from the core of the program with "brother" as the leading role.
Whether it is "Sister Lang" or "Brother Pi", in previous seasons of the program, the program team tried to balance the strength and celebrity status of the guests, but we also found that the popularity of subsequent programs does not entirely depend on the main guests. Popularity. For example, in "Brother Phi 3", the one who had the last laugh turned out to be Chen Chusheng, who had few close-ups at the beginning. However, it was precisely with this inspirational counterattack that "Brother Phi 3" gained both buzz and ratings. . Whether it is to support new talents or to "fry twice-cooked meat", the entertainment industry has never lacked traffic. When the initiative of "making stars" is returned to the audience, what everyone wants to see more is not the joining of topical figures and the "flash in the pan" brought to the variety show industry. ", but the program's encouragement to Chinese music as a whole, to regain the confidence and courage to live in music.
