At noon on September 4, the first episode of the sixth season of the variety show "Flowers and Boys" was launched on Mango TV. During this season, my sister and the teenagers traveled to Chile and other countries to visit the scenic spots and historic sites in these countries. Ba

The principle of prioritizing highlights is the most worthy of serious discussion. Many of our variety shows, especially reality shows, tend to have more stars than attractions. Many producers and directors of reality shows believe that as long as celebrities appear and traffic is generated, reality shows will be good. Therefore, many celebrity reality shows only have popular celebrities sitting down and chatting awkwardly about their private lives, but there is not much to watch.

Some reality shows and variety shows may have some main themes and positive energy creative requirements. Therefore, in the program, celebrity guests are frequently asked to shout slogans or perform slogan-like content. This approach is not good-looking, and it is an infringement on the concept of reality shows. Although "Flowers and Boys 6" also carries the main theme and positive mission of promoting friendly exchanges between China and Chile, it does not always use slogans instead of highlights.

On the contrary, in "Flowers and Boys 6", there is an obvious narrative rhythm, that is, three tensions and one relaxation, with constant climaxes. This is a very noteworthy narrative formula for variety reality shows. It can even be said that not only reality shows should use this narrative formula, but a large number of film and television dramas should also follow their own narrative formulas. There should be exciting content and soothing content, and they should be matched.

Let's take the first issue of "Flowers and Boys 6" and conduct an analysis of "three tights, one loosening, constant climax". For example, the sisters and teenagers gathered in a pleasant atmosphere, and the program team handed out task cards and cash. These are all conducted in a relatively relaxed environment. If the show continues to be this relaxed, it will face the problem of not being interesting. This is a reality show necessity. If you want to look good, you must have conflicts and behavioral disorders.

Well, with this show, the first big obstacle immediately appeared. The sisters brought too many suitcases, which were overweight. After all, the airport is not owned by my sisters. Overweight suitcases will definitely need to be paid for again. The tens of thousands of yuan in luggage check-in fees directly stretched the sisters' travel funds. Knowledgeable viewers will of course know that this is fake. How could the celebrities be short of money? However, viewers who don't know how to do this will have to follow the sisters and become anxious. After spending so much extra money, do you still have money to spend on your sister’s trip later?

Audiences like me, the editor, are deliberately looking for trouble and will laugh at these celebrity sisters. They just have so much to do. Why should one person carry several large suitcases? Are you going to flee and take all your belongings with you? In order to silence viewers like me, the editors of this variety show, the directors of this variety show also had a way to ask one of the sisters to come out and explain why they brought so many suitcases - because they go to many places, all year round. , you can only bring more clothes. I have to ask again, don’t you buy it locally? The directors will probably answer: Xiu'er, sit down.

is so tight, but it’s still boring. Next, turn around, continue to be tight, and the tension should be escalated. Or the problem with the suitcase. There is no language barrier when communicating at domestic airports. When I go abroad, I can’t do it anymore. These massive suitcases still have to be paid for. The brothers and sisters ran from the first floor to minus one, from minus one to the second floor, from the second floor to the third floor, and from the third floor back to the second floor... Why? Look around for a place to pay. Before our eyes, the plane was about to take off.

As a viewer, would you say you are anxious? On the one hand, the plane is about to take off, and on the other hand, the fee for the overweight suitcase has not yet been paid. The countdown to the plane has begun. The sisters and brothers have become "Run, Flowers". This dynamic running state is enough for the audience to see the excitement of the reality show.

But this is still not all of the first issue. Later, when we arrived at Easter Island, there was still a problem with the suitcase, and there were problems such as taking too much. Later, the directors added another tense episode, about eating "without any money" and so on. Of course, just being nervous is definitely not enough, you have to relax appropriately. No, the beautiful scenes of Easter Island are here, aerial photography is used, and the beauty of the B&B houses also comes with it. Sisters, it’s time to have fun. Three tightens and one loosens, and the climax is bound to continue.

This is a reality show. It’s good to watch. It’s good to watch because it has conflicts and story obstacles. If the sisters' trip was smooth sailing, it wouldn't be interesting and would become a travel promotion film. It’s because the sisters’ schedules didn’t go smoothly, they had to save money, and they had to struggle to get their luggage that this reality show put a good show on it. By the way, when it comes to celebrity reality shows, the directors and directors in Hunan are not convinced.(Text/Ma Qingyun)
