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 he would invite 17 male guests to help out the total of *** 14 participating sisters, which made the program group be scolded by a hot search that night.
At the scene, when C made her debut quietly, she showed a kind of mourning that "I don't want to play" directly from expression to body and mind, and even said "I took the first place but didn't want to form a group".
In the interview after the game, Jing Jingzi was even more unwilling to stand in position C and lift her head. Yuqi Zhang and Meng Jia, who were forced to be pushed to the middle, rubbed their hands nervously.
Looking at the ending, the more you market your own "Sister Lang", but you can't win back the hearts of the audience. People can't believe how red, fried and hot it is.
Let me take you back a little bit.
"Sister Lang" just caught up with the hot search shutdown in Weibo before it started broadcasting. However, as soon as the feature film of nearly 4 hours was released, this program became a hot search, with a broadcast volume of1.500 million, and even my friends who usually scoff at all kinds of men's and women's programs are chasing it.
The famous scenes of sisters from preparation to performance to backstage continued, and netizens "manually" dominated the hot search for it.
In May, the summer has not yet fully arrived, but the triumphant "Sister Lang" is so hot that people sweat: after one week of broadcasting, the broadcast volume of the program has exceeded 500 million, ranking first in the variety show popularity of the whole network 1, and other variety shows broadcast in the same period are simply not enough for it to play.
Even the TV series Nothing But Thirty, which later became an explosion, rubbed off the popularity of "Sister Lang" as a "sister card". For a time, "Sister" became the most wanted person for all women, and "Sister in Sister" became the highest commendatory term.
The concept of the program is new enough, scarce enough, and it has also stepped on the high points and pain points of the audience. In addition, there are many invited sisters who have both material and drama. The fire of "Sister Lang" is expected. However, such flowers are blooming in brocade, but they soon bloom in tea.
In the later stage, although I saw that "the difficulty of action and aesthetic experience" went up;
The remaining sisters also used the big tricks of leg lifts, splits and hanging Weiya;
But the more the audience watched it, the more boring it became.
Later, when I mentioned this program, the most frequently used adjectives were high opening and low walking, anticlimactic, and endless.
Not only was the ratings of the group night only half that of the first stage, but the Douban score also dropped from 8.5 to 7.4. No wonder many people lamented that Sister Lang was burnt.
Its rotten tail is really regrettable, because there seem to be quite a lot of factors to burn 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 it is different from the competition system of the general women's team talent show.
10 1 series programs ("Chuang" series launched by Tencent and "Youth with You" series launched by Iqiyi) have an important feature, that is, they simply let people have the final say. That's why, no matter how fierce YCY's voice was when she couldn't sing or dance well, surpassing her sister was the reason why she was able to make a high debut by a large number of fans outside the stadium.
But at the beginning, Sister Braving the Wind and Waves made a determined innovation in the competition system: it gave up the traditional operation mode of idol group talent show and used a star competition mode similar to I am a singer, that is, every performance was based on the pairwise PK of the sister group, and the audience's love (voting) decided whether they would stay or not.
This kind of innovation was remarkable at first.
For example, the first stage of my sisters' solo used the method of no-tuning and full-opening wheat for the first time (this is also obviously the routine of "I am a singer").
As a result, sisters with excellent strength like Dingdong and A Duo, everyone thought that they sang really well, and those who danced straight like Yuqi Zhang were also true and lovely.
However, the producers gave up the whole show and no editing in the official performance. At this time, the disadvantages of this competition system of "deciding whether the sisters will stay or not solely by the votes of 300 spectators at each performance" were also exposed.
First of all, the direct result of the competition system of "Sister Lang" is that the audience outside the stadium can't understand the choice of the audience inside, and directly scold the program group for inviting "500 little deaf and blind";
The audience in the venue may also feel that the program played after editing and the effect of live viewing are wall-broken, which is quite wronged.
And too much emphasis on the sense of live experience, and quickly eliminated those sisters who "the stage is not fried enough." For example, Chen Songling got off the bus in the first round because she sang a slow song at the beginning, and was slightly middle-aged among a group of elder sisters who maintained exquisite figure.
Later, when Chen Songling was interviewed by Sanlian Life Weekly, he said that he understood it, because "it is just a program after all". At the same time, she admits that at the age of 50, she will be fat, presbyopia and energy is no longer so good, and she does not want to be forced to "reverse her age".
Chen Songling still has a passage that touched me very much. She said:
Because it was eliminated too quickly, Yi Lijing's Definition didn't do an exclusive interview with Chen Songling. I think if it is done, it should be very beautiful. This elder sister, who was eliminated first, has a calm attitude towards age, life and life, her calmness and naturalness, and her confidence in trying hard enough, which is the biggest difference between the elder sister who braved the wind and waves and the younger sisters who are intrigued.
The best gift that time gives a woman is not a 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.
At the beginning, my sisters rode the wind and 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 burned himself and got scolded for the program group early.
In the initial stage, the waves who were frustrated by Hua Du's low score for Dingdang personally eliminated this elder sister who had no other critical points in general.
At the beginning, Hua Du strongly recommended that all Vocal (lead singers) go to the Dance group, but now it seems to be a mother's heart ~ In this competition, the sisters who learned "fine" in the later stage broke their heads every time to choose the dance group.
I thought there was a watershed in Sister Lang, where the unruly sisters were at this end and Hua Du, who emphasized "beauty, neatness and obedience", was at that end;
Only at the end did I find that all the sisters left behind slipped to the end of "Hua Du standard": young, beautiful and uniform.
Whether it is Hua Du, Zhao Zhao and Ken, should they take the blame for the burnt Sister Lang? Maybe we should.
The production team, which should have appeared as an authority, did not conduct professional and strong guidance at the beginning of the competition.
By the middle of the competition, Zhao Zhao realized that "if we do everything the audience wants, we will do it. I would like to ask the definition of our women's group and where is the breakthrough in braving the wind and waves". However, at this time, "Sister Lang" has already run away like a runaway wild horse in the direction of the women's group.
Teacher Zhao Zhao's words are not only ignored by the sisters who are addicted to the game and don't want to be eliminated, but the huge wheel of capital will crush everything once it is started.
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 "performers with independent styles are not suitable for a group" and put forward the theory that mature sisters can go against the trend to create a group of women who are "more chewy, more tasty".
Chen Songling, who was eliminated, also said in an interview that her ideal female group is "a female group with different heights and sizes, each with different specialties, from different races, skin colors and non-mainstream standards, but still with strong female beauty" as in the American film Perfect Tone.
In Sister Lang, what is lacking is not sober people, but their voices are too weak or deliberately ignored.
What's more, even a sister like A Duo, who is transparent and wise, can't escape giving up her voice and making changes and compromises once she is driven by a strong desire to win.
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 other sisters' stories. Unfortunately, all these didn't help her go further on the stage.
After being eliminated and being voted back to life by netizens, A Duo seems to be the "revenge queen", singing and dancing hard, canvassing hard, with chicken blood in her left hand and chicken soup in her right hand.
Not to mention A Duo, even though she seems to have been put in the palm of her hand by Mango Taiwan from beginning to end, she rebelled against the tranquility set by the Queen, and most of the time she was impressed.
When the program starts, Quiet should be himself. "Everyone does the same action together, and you can't see me. The more neat the action, the less you can see me. What are the characteristics? "
However, after several rounds of performances, Jingzi is already the most familiar person with the rules of the game.
Of course, this compromise of sisters is not only because of "signing a contract".
Instead, every sister knows that one more segment in the program means more exposure, more business contracts and a longer career boom.
Therefore, whether Alina Zhang is carrying the dolphin sound or eating the quick-acting heart-saving pills, she must be quiet and dance. All the sisters who want to ride the wind and waves unconsciously become "sisters" who go with the flow 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 be fat, old or even slow down, the initial "braving the wind and waves" has become a slogan, or a self-moving.
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 aesthetic of "young and white".
As a variety show to show the unique charm of 30+ women, in the end, nothing was shown except "fierceness, ambition and hard work";
As a program that made netizens shout "Suddenly I feel that age is not a thing" when it started, it finally went in the opposite direction-the last pot of the paste of "Sister Lang" had to be backed by the values that succeeded in deceiving everyone.
"Sister Lang" seems to give her sisters a strong personality, but the so-called "mature women" shown 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, it's just a copy of SNH48 from Girls' Idol College. You know, the values advocated by Department 48 to girls are how to realize "dream, sweat and persistence" in skipping.
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 makes people feel too rigid, thin and dry.
After all, it is only said that among the 30 sisters in Sister Lang, even Gina, the youngest, has passed the age threshold of 30, and she is no longer, and does not have to be, the age to spell hyaluronic acid and hormones.
No matter which elder sister doesn't come with a long life, if she can show her maturity and calmness in experience, mentality, treating people and other aspects, 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 mountain that everyone has to face".
"After the age of 30, there are fewer and fewer witnesses in life, but they can also witness themselves. After the age of 30, all possibilities are fading away, but you can still cross time and yourself. "
After the program, I found that 30+ women's method of "crossing time and crossing themselves" still needs to be forced to go against age. After all, I was able to see through everything with a pair of discerning eyes and made a line carving before the program was recorded.
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 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 risen a lot, regardless of whether they fight for a group night or not. Yuan Yonglin Weibo fans increased by as much as 70%, and A Duo, Isabelle 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 have spent their eyes and slowed down, their wisdom is like a knife, cutting through the night sky and shining brightly.
It may be unrealistic to expect to see the strength of women in the domestic women's group variety show, rather than the pan-entertainment female label. The only way for mature women 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 all human beings, not actresses, so we can't make the money and don't have to worry about it. 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 "thirty-year-old, colorful horse, flying clouds and stepping on the sea", and it is the real "hanging Yun Fan, braving the wind and waves".
That is, in the long river of life, you, me and her are living in a down-to-earth manner!
