Last Friday, my sister got together, you know? It doesn't matter if I don't know. It is estimated that even Mango Taiwan now thinks that this so-called sister group is a hot potato, and how to operate it in the future is an unknown mystery.
Although Mango Taiwan didn't give up its efforts to "bring back the dead" at the last minute: the day before the group night, Guan Wei announced that it would invite 17 male guests to support a total of 14 participating sisters, which made the program group scolded by hot search that night.
At the scene, when C made his debut quietly, he directly expressed a kind of "I don't want to play" from expression to body and mind, and even said "I won the first place but didn't want to form a group".
In the interview after the game, Jing was even more reluctant to stand in position C and could not lift his head. Yuqi Zhang and Meng Jia, who were forced to squeeze into the middle, rubbed hands nervously.
Looking at the ending, the more you market your own "Lang Jie", you can't win back the hearts of the audience. People can't believe how red it is and how hot it is.
Let me take you back.
"Sister Lang" just started broadcasting and caught up with Weibo's hot search and turned it off. However, as soon as the feature film of nearly 4 hours came out, this program became a hot search, with a broadcast volume of 65.438+0.5 billion. Even my friends who usually scoff at all kinds of men's and women's groups are chasing me.
The famous scenes of sisters from preparation to performance to backstage continue, and netizens "manually" dominated the hot search for it.
In May, summer has not yet fully arrived, but the triumphant "Sister Lang" is so hot that people sweat: the program has been broadcast for a week, and the broadcast volume has exceeded 500 million, ranking 1 in the popularity of variety shows in the whole network, and other variety shows broadcast at the same time are not enough for it to play.
Even the TV series "Nothing 30", which later became an explosion, also rubbed the popularity of "Sister Lang" on the "Sister Card". For a time, "Sister" became the most wanted person of all women, and "Sister among Sisters" became the highest commendatory term.
The concept of the program is novel enough and scarce enough, and it also steps on the high points and pain points of the audience. In addition, there are many invited sisters who are expected and have a play. The fire of "Sister Lang" is expected. However, such flowers bloom in brocade, but soon bloom in tea.
Although I saw "the difficulty of action and aesthetic experience" in the later period;
The rest of the sisters also used the big tricks of lifting their legs, splitting and hanging Weiya;
But the audience is bored when they look at it.
Later, when this program was mentioned, the most frequently used adjectives were "high opening and low walking, anticlimactic and endless".
Not only was the audience rating of the group night only half that of the first issue, but the douban score also dropped from 8.5 to 7.4. No wonder many people lamented that Sister Lang was burnt.
It's really a pity that it's rotten, because there seem to be many factors to cook the pot, and I don't know who to give it to.
The first thing that makes people feel less cool about Sister Lang is that the competition system is different from that of the general women's team talent show.
10 1 series (Chuang series launched by Tencent and Youth with You series launched by Iqiyi) has an important feature, which is simply to let popularity have the final say. That's why, no matter how fierce YCY sounds when she can't sing or dance well, surpassing her sister is the reason why she can be made a high-profile debut by a large number of fans off the court.
However, Sister Braving the Wind and Waves made a resolute innovation in the competition system from the beginning: it abandoned the traditional operation mode of idol group talent show and adopted a star competition mode similar to I am a singer, that is, every performance is based on the PK of two sisters, and the audience's love (voting) determines their stay.
This innovation was remarkable at first.
For example, in the first stage of my sisters' solo, I used the method of turning on the wheat for the first time without tuning (this is obviously the routine of "I am a singer").
As a result, sisters with superior strength, such as Ding Dong and A Duo, are thought to be really good singers and cute dancers like Yuqi Zhang.
However, the producer gave up the whole performance and there was no editing in the official performance. At this time, the disadvantages of this competition system of "deciding whether sisters will stay or not only by the votes of 300 spectators in each performance" are also exposed.
First of all, as a direct result of the competition system of "Sister Lang", the off-site audience could not understand the audience's choice, and directly scolded the program group for inviting "500 little deaf people";
The audience at the venue may also feel that the effect of the edited program and the live viewing is broken and quite wronged.
Moreover, too much emphasis was placed on the sense of live experience, and those girls who "the stage was not fried enough" were quickly eliminated. For example, Chen Songling got off the bus in the first round because she started singing slow songs, and she was slightly middle-aged among a group of elder sisters who kept a delicate figure.
Later, Chen Songling expressed his understanding in an interview with Sanlian Life Weekly, because "it's just a program after all". At the same time, she admits that at the age of 50, she will be fat, presbyopia, and her energy is no longer so good. She doesn't want to be forced to "reverse her age".
There's another passage from Chen Songling that moved me very much. She said:
Because she was eliminated too quickly, Yi Lijing's definition did not make an exclusive interview with Chen Songling. I think if it's done, it should look good. This sister who was eliminated first has a calm attitude towards age, life and life. She is calm and natural, and she has the confidence to try hard enough. This is the biggest difference between the sister who braved the wind and waves and the sister who was intrigued.
The best gift that time gives a woman is not constant weight, but something that goes with the wind. Forget it.
The competition system of the program claimed the first pot and the second pot was given to the mentor group.
When my sisters were riding the wind, they were knocked over in the sea by the first wave. This "wave" is Hua Du, which attracts the fiercest firepower.
Now it seems that Hua Du, the only prophet in the audience, just set himself on fire and got scolded early for the program group.
In the initial stage, the waves frustrated by Du Huawei's low score personally eliminated this sister who had no other key points in general.
At the beginning, Hua Du strongly recommended all vocal music (lead singers) to go to the dance company, but now it seems to be a mother's heart ~ In this competition, the sisters who learned "fine" in the later stage broke the first choice of the dance company every time.
I thought there was a watershed in nirvana in fire, with unruly sisters at this end and Hua Du who emphasized "beauty, neatness and obedience" at that end;
In the end, I found that all the sisters who stayed behind slipped to the end of "Hua Du standard": young, beautiful and uniform.
Whether it's Hua Du, Zhaozhao or Ken, should they take responsibility for the burned sister Lang? Maybe we should.
The production team, which should have appeared as an authority, did not give professional and powerful guidance at the beginning of the competition.
Halfway through the game, Zhao Zhao realized that "we will do whatever the audience wants." Excuse me, where is the definition of our women's group and the breakthrough of braving the wind and waves? " However, at this time, "Sister Lang" has been running like a runaway wild horse in the direction of the women's group.
Teacher Zhao Zhao's words are not only ignored by sisters who are addicted to the game and don't want to be eliminated. Once the capital ship is started, it will crush everything.
Sister Lang actually had an "invisible judge", that is, A Duo who was later resurrected.
In the first issue, she disagreed with the statement that "independent performers are not suitable for a group" and put forward the theory that mature sisters can go against the trend to create a "more chewy and tasteful" female group.
Chen Songling, who was eliminated, also said in an interview that her ideal female group is "a female group with different heights and shapes, different specialties, different races, colors and non-mainstream standards, but still has strong female beauty" as in the American film Perfect Tone.
What is lacking in Sister Lang is not sober people, but their voices are too weak or deliberately ignored.
What's more, even a transparent and wise sister like A Duo, once driven by a strong desire to win, can't escape the fate of giving up the right to speak and making changes and compromises.
In the early stage of Sister Lang, A Duo was like a quiet spiritual mentor, comforting her teammates, taking care of her emotions and listening to the stories of other sisters. Unfortunately, none of this helped her go further on the stage.
After being eliminated and being voted back to life by netizens, A Duo seemed to be the "revenge queen", singing and dancing hard and canvassing hard, with chicken blood in her left hand and chicken soup in her right hand.
Not to mention A Duo, although she seems to have been held in the palm of her hand by Mango Taiwan from beginning to end, she is resistant to the tranquility set by the Queen, and most of the time she is impressed.
At the beginning of the program, it should be himself who is quiet. "Everybody do the same action together, you can't see me. The more orderly I am, the less I can be seen. What are the characteristics? "
However, after several rounds of performances, Jingzi is already the most familiar with the rules of the game.
Of course, this compromise of sisters is not only because of "signing".
On the contrary, every sister knows that one more link in the plan means more exposure, more business contracts and longer careers.
Therefore, whether Alina Zhang is wearing dolphin sound or taking quick-acting pills, she must dance quietly. All the sisters who want to ride the wind and waves have unconsciously become "sisters" drifting with the tide in this process-fighting for figure, fighting for physical strength, fighting for who is more youthful, and who can break through the physiological laws and human body limits.
Looking at the sisters who dare not get fat, get old or even slow down, the initial "braving the wind and waves" has become a slogan, or a kind of self-emotion.
What this program creates for female audiences of the same age is no longer a brand-new outlet and fresh comfort, but a familiar and old pressure and anxiety under the "green and white" aesthetic.
As a variety show showing the unique charm of 30+ women, in the end, nothing was shown except "ferocity, ambition and hard work";
As a program that made netizens shout "suddenly feel that age is not a thing" when it started, it finally went in the opposite direction-the last pot of paste of "Sister Lang", and it had to be backed by the values that successfully deceived everyone.
Nirvana in fire seems to endow the sisters with strong personalities, but the so-called "mature women" expressed through the program still can't avoid having a "young face+slim figure", plus a strong personality and the courage to die if you don't want to lose.
If so, with all due respect, this is just a copy of SNH48, a girl idol college. You know, the values advocated by Department 48 for girls are how to realize "dream, sweat and persistence" in skipping rope.
These three words are true, but if the stories that women can tell and the values that can be praised remain unchanged from young to mature, it will make people feel too rigid, too thin and too dry.
After all, only the 30 sisters in Sister Lang, even the youngest Gina has passed the age threshold of 30. She is no longer, and does not have to be, the age to fight hyaluronic acid and hormones.
No matter which elder sister doesn't live a long life, if she can show her maturity and calmness in experience, mentality, treating people and so on, she can completely make up for the regret of aging, instead of 30+ being more youthful than 20, jumping higher and sticking more rhinestones on her face.
When it was first broadcast, the values recited by Sister Lang were "We care about success, we care about failure, and we care about the mountains that everyone has to face".
"After the age of 30, there are fewer and fewer witnesses to life, but they can also witness themselves. After the age of 30, all possibilities are disappearing, but you can still travel through time and yourself. "
After the program, I found that 30+ women still need to be forced to go against their age to "travel through time and themselves". After all, I saw through everything with a pair of discerning eyes and made a line carving before recording the program.
Why is the world so cruel? The reason is simple: in a patriarchal society, young and beautiful women are the only commercial value.
As long as this variety show is to make money, as long as the people who participate in the variety show are to enhance their commercial value, overthrow the old values, truly think of women and establish new values, it is a thankless thing for the program group and even the sisters.
According to a set of data released on September 3rd, the value of most elder sisters has increased a lot, regardless of whether they have a group night. The number of fans in Weibo, Yuan Yonglin increased by 70%, and A Duo, Isabel and Meng Jia also reached more than 50%.
Chen Songling was right, "It's just a show".
The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. In the social machine kidnapped by commercial interests, no one really cares about what women have experienced, and no one sees that although mature women spend their eyes and slow down, their wisdom is like a knife, which cuts through the night sky and shines brightly.
It may be unrealistic to expect to see the strength of women in domestic women's group variety shows, rather than the female label of pan-entertainment. The only way for a mature woman to ride the wind and waves is for me to stop playing.
Only by crossing the rules can we surpass our age.
Fortunately, you and I are both human beings, not actresses, so don't worry if you can't make money. In real life, women's braving the wind and waves is not as eye-catching as the show, but it is definitely more popular than the show-that is the real "standing at the age of 30, flying clouds and stepping on the sea" and the real "hanging Yun Fan, braving the wind and waves".
It is in the long river of life that you, I and she are living in a down-to-earth manner!
