Put young and Dangerous, rock musicians, rappers, dancers, singers, actors... in the same variety show, what kind of sparks will they collide with?


Last summer, "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" (referred to as "Sister Lang") turned out. With 30+ sisters and an undefined girl group, they successfully made their way out of the circle and dominated the entire summer. As a result, the sisters ushered in another small peak in their careers, and their resources and exposure continued to rise. Netizens also began to look forward to the brother's version of "Lang Sister" and spontaneously helped the program group choose guests.



On August 12, the "male version" "Sister Wave"-" Broken Brother " was launched. The strong guest lineup and the original production team of "Lang Jie" have made "Brother Who Overcome Thorns" a lot of attention as soon as it was launched.


Although the previous variety show of the same type "Catch the Light!" "Brother" made the public worry about whether the greasy scene would be staged again. However, judging from the current broadcast content, the brothers are not greasy, but on the first stage of the cooperation stage exudes a sense of youth that belongs to their era.


"male version" "Sister Lang" is here

What kind of variety show is "Big Brother Overcoming Thorns"? To understand it simply, it is the "male version" of "Sister Lang".

"Sister Wave" focuses on older sisters with 30+, while "Brother Overcoming Thorns" focuses on older brothers with 30+. The production teams of the two variety shows are the same, and they are also exclusively broadcast by Mango TV.


Compared with the previous guest list circulated on the Internet, the lineup of "Brother Overcoming Thorns" is more attractive than the list. The program group invited 33 elder brothers including Huang Guanzhong, , Li Yundi, , GAI, , Chen Xiaochun, , , Lin Zhixuan, , , Zhao Wenzhuo, , , Lee Seung-hyun, and , covering multiple genres such as rock, rap, idols, singers, dancers, etc. Covers 90, 80, 70, 60 and other age groups. Distinguished guests and the collision on the stage allow audiences of different ages to find their favorite idols.



According to the rules of the competition, the program will pass three-month co-living training + theme assessment, and select 17 people to form an all-round singing and acting family. In the first phase of the theme assessment, the program group is divided into singing group (2), singing group (2), singing group (2), singing group (1), and rap group (1) according to their respective characteristics. A total of 8 groups will perform the first stage performance. Looking at the first stage of


, ​​Chen Xiaochun’s "Friendship Years" by Chen Xiaochun's singing group made the audience dream of the old and Dangerous era, and "Meteor Shower" by the singing group of Yan Chengxu and brought a wave of memories of the Meteor Garden. , "Where is Brother?" of the rap group where GAI is located. "Instantly explode the audience... Artists with the same characteristics gather together to complete the cooperative performance of each group in a familiar field, and they are full of feelings. On the day of the broadcast of


, ​​many topics such as "Laughing to death by Chen Xiaochun", "Brother who is overwhelmed with difficulties", " Qi Wei My happiness is more than these", "Yan Chengxu sings meteor shower, youth is back" and many other topics appeared on Weibo hot search. As of August 14, the broadcast volume of the first program has exceeded 100 million. Although there are currently no ratings on Douban, the comments below are mostly affirmation of the guest lineup and the quality of the program.

What is the correct way to open the brothers?


middle-aged men, it seems it is difficult to escape the "greasy" curse.


Before "Brother Who Overcomes Troubles", there was a similar variety show "Follow the Light!" elder brother". However, the first thing that went out of the circle was the greasy feeling brought about by the collision of songs and magical dances that did not match the style of painting.


has the "Leading Lessons", in "Brother Who Overcomes Troubles", the director clearly stated "Don't blink, Don't shake your hips, try not to be too greasy, the texture of boys is very important! When asked by Ao Dog what to do if he accidentally made it out of excitement, the director immediately said that he would cut him off. The controlled typhoon has gained the quality that is recognized by netizens. The lead singer of Panthers Zhang Qi and also said that “his performance has a special inherent tension, and his control is very good. It is very advanced.” Huang Guanzhong, Chen Hui, Zhang Qi The combination of "Chinese rock and roll chronicles" composed by Ricky makes people mistakenly think that they have come to the performance of "Le Xia", which has great impact of the times.


In this way, the texture may be the right opening for the brothers. Method. The program group puts the brothers who are close to each other in the same group. Different styles and attributes actually have their own attention, attracting audiences from Meteor Garden, Young and Dangerous, and Rock and Roll. Later, they will increase their views through the cooperation and collision of different types of artists. To retain the audience and make a reputation. The friendship between the brothers



is also a major feature of the show. When Ricky was upset because of the nervousness and abnormal performance during rehearsal, Huang Guanzhong encouraged the Beyondjoy to be upset. I couldn't help but shed tears; although GAI was a little controversial about his brother's emergence, the brotherhood of the rappers still infected many people. Unlike the warm expressions of sisters hugging and shouting, the friendship of brothers is often a simple sentence " This is my brother".


I would like to ask, such a strong and affectionate brother, who doesn't love it? Can


reproduce the success of "Lang Sister"?


Although "Brambles Through the Thorns" has won the feeling and quality. A large number of good feelings, but the negative impact of the guest rollover still spread to the brothers. Before the


show started, the guest Huo Zun fell into the whirlpool of public opinion because of the news of his ex-girlfriend who has been in love for nine years. On the evening of the 12th, The official Weibo of the program announced that Huo Zun had negotiated to withdraw from the recording of the follow-up program of "Brother Who Overcomes" and removed the exclusive video of Huo Zun’s performance. The previous remarks were questioned about drug use, disrespect for women and other issues and became hot searches. This also made "Brother Overwhelmed" failed to drive Mango SuperMedia's stock price like "Lang Sister", but instead fell one after another because of this.


and this same At that time, the draft has always been a battlefield for young people. The contestants of variety shows such as "Creation Camp" and " Qingyou" are all around 18 years old. The same type of variety shows that shouted "Youth, Growth, and Passion" have gradually caused the audience to fall into aesthetic fatigue.


Therefore, the elder brothers and sisters who focus on 30+ women and the middle-age crisis, and are "incompatible" with the traditional talent show variety show, have aroused great attention as soon as the broadcast started. So, can "Brother Who Overcome Thorns", known as the "male version" and "Sister Lang" reproduce its success?



From the point of view of the program, "Sister Lang" takes the plight of middle-aged women as the topic, cuts in the opposite direction, does not sell anxiety, but presents a 30-year-old woman who is different from the public perception.


Although "Brother Who Overcomes Thorns" is also the entry point for middle-aged men, the anxiety faced by middle-aged men is lower than that of women. Just as female friends are often asked "how to balance career and family?", male friends rarely face such problems.


Compared with the topic of 30+ women taking care of career and family and resisting aging, it is difficult for 30+ men who are mature and stable and have a golden age in their careers to raise a wide range of discussions. If you want to be like "Sister Lang", Eating the gender dividend, obviously does not work.



"All'boys' are destined to be diluted by time, grow up stumblingly, and grow old in gregarious ways. But there must be someone who has planted the seeds of flame and burst out the toughness that life should have." This was when the show started. The passage mentioned. From the current point of view, the stage and reality show of "Brother Who Overcomes Troubles" are intended to create the core spirit of "a hot life always shines".


Yan Chengxu said in the show that he was afraid that others would see his imperfections in the past, but this time he was willing to accept his "imperfections"; Zhao Wenzhuo told the show team that he could not always be a sweeping monk in the corner. , To come out. Huang Guanzhong said in his appearance, "I haven't finished my life in one day. I don't know which part of my glorious years is my glory." Everyone came with an attitude of challenging themselves.



Brothers appear to jump out of their comfort zone and work hard like stupid children to find a new state of themselves. Will they be as interesting as the 30+ sister’s riding the wind and waves?


From the current point of view, the sentimental cards such as Daoming Temple of Big S and Beyond’s "No Hesitation" and other sentiment cards have earned the attention of the audience. The success of the first issue has brought enthusiasm and also raised the psychological expectations of the audience. The program team obviously understands this truth, so the next collision between different types of brothers will be the focus of the program. Judging from the hot scenes of brothers grabbing people and songs, contrast, conflict, and storytelling will be the next big thing.


In short, whether "Brother Who Overcomes Thorns" can maintain the performance level on the next stage and provide enough topic support is the key to the success of the reissue of "Sister Lang".
