After "I Am an Actor", director Wu Tong created another variety show of the same type - " Infinite Beyond Class ".
With Wu Zhenyu criticizing the kissing scene of "Traffic Fresh Meat" and considering the words of fans, this variety show has also become very popular.
Some people even say that "Hong Kong actors are reorganizing domestic entertainment traffic stars".
Although it packages itself as a positive energy on the surface, when you look at it, it is actually another ordinary variety show that relies on "creating controversy" to gain popularity.
"cut out" Jackie Chan , obvious traces of the script, "read the dish and eat the food" , this variety show not only exposed the level of director Wu Tong, also has four types of problems related to the wild growth of domestic entertainment.
1. Poor "scripts" in variety shows are prevalent
In the latest issue of "Infinite Beyond Class", following "Ace vs. Ace", director Wu Tong performed " feelings kill ".
After Zhang Keyi and Deng Cuiwen and others reenacted the classic scene in "The Golden Branch", the youngest freshman idol present Liu Yaowen said expressionlessly: " I didn't see your Can you reenact the rivalry scene ? "
As a newcomer actor, Liu Yaowen made this request to two seniors in the entertainment industry. It was a bit weird, not to mention that no one else thought it was inappropriate after hearing it.
is obviously a "tool man" for the cue process.
And this sentence also paves the way for the "reunion" of with in a few minutes.
While Deng Cuiwen and Zhang Keyi were acting, suddenly a person pushed in the door, that is, Charmaine Sheh . The three of them had co-produced the TV series "The Evil of the Golden Branch" together.
After seeing Charmaine Sheh, both of them showed shocked expressions. Zhang Keyi even said: "We meet again here after eighteen years."
This sentence also truly reflects the relationship between the three people. If they are really good friends, no matter how busy they are, they will not miss each other for eighteen years..
But now that these people are reunited just for the sake of salary, it is really embarrassing to show how intimate they are on stage and to force emotions.
Director Wu Tong has also tried this trick of " reunites and sells sentiments to " repeatedly. He has tried it countless times in "Ace vs. Ace", and now he is trying it again in a new variety show.
And traces of such a poor "script" in "Infinite Transcendence" have appeared more than once.
On the first day when the artists registered, Fan Shiqi was deliberately ignored by Er Dongsheng and Hui Yinghong because of being late.
Because the program team informed us to arrive at the scene at nine o'clock in the morning, and when Fan Shiqi arrived, the time shown on the watch was already nine ten.
At this time, other artists had gone downstairs to hold a "class meeting". Although he arrived late and expressed his attitude of apologizing, Hui Yinghong still responded with " does not accept your apology ".
Let’s see when the others arrived?
The first person to arrive was Liu Yaowen. The program stated that he arrived at 8 o'clock in the morning, a full hour early.
The second person to arrive was Han Xue, who arrived at half past eight.
At this time, the camera turned, and there were only these two "early birds" in the huge office, but the clock on the wall actually showed it was 10:05.
This is completely different from the time when the program team "bragged about" .
Since the first two arrived at ten o'clock, how could Fan Shiqi be the latest one when he arrived at nine ten?
What’s even more dramatic is that after netizens discovered this loophole, the program team secretly changed the time.
And if the side angle is not good, the clock will be blurred directly. It has to be said that the meaning of concealment is obvious.
time can P, Jackie Chan can also P.
As the biggest star of "Infinity and Beyond", during the actor review session, Jackie Chan's comments were always close-up.
finally had a vision. At this time, Hui Yinghong had just returned from her anger. Er Dongsheng, Wu Zhenyu and others looked at her with great concern.
At this time, Jackie Chan was looking at the stage very intently, his expression remained unchanged, and his cutting out technique was also very rough...
"Infinite Transcendence Class" has the "crest" of a senior Hong Kong actor helping young artists to transcend themselves, but the content is a piece of "chicken feathers". Such an obvious but inferior script is almost written on his own face.
Nowadays, it has become a tacit "common sense" for the audience that variety shows have scripts. Previously, Zhao Liying broke the news in an interview, saying that variety shows have more or less scripts.
Da Zhangwei and Yang Di have also been revealed.
But in the past, variety shows, such as " Let's Run Brothers ", " Extreme Challenge ", etc., were all "food" that brought people joy.
But nowadays, it is difficult for people to watch these reality shows.
In order to better present the program and save time, it is no problem to have a script.
But scripts can also be divided into "good scripts" and "bad scripts" , When did the scripts of variety shows begin to develop in the direction of "boosting traffic" and "low quality".
In this year's season of "Running Man", Bai Lu was laughed at by many celebrities just because he said that there was a bowl in the refrigerator.
Sha Yi even asked "ignorantly": "Is it the leftovers from the night before? "
It is undeniable that celebrities are a high-income group, and many of their living habits are different from "ordinary people".
But Sha Yi was not born with a "gold spoon" in his mouth. Didn't his family eat leftovers since he was a child?
said such words except that he had arranged them in advance. I really can’t imagine what kind of brain circuit he used to say such words.
Such "scripts" have no positive benefits other than provoking confrontation and gaining topicality.
From this point of view, the poor variety show script is no longer the problem of "Infinite Transcendence". The main function of variety shows is to bring joy to the audience, not to make sense, sensationalize, or stir up topics.
If the content is of high quality and brings laughter to the audience, there is no need to use this method to "get ahead".
2. The directors’ “unreasonable” demands
in Zhou Jieqiong After introducing himself, Zhang Keyi asked her: " If I choose you to act in a drama, but I don't want you to wear makeup, is that okay?"
Zhou Jieqiong agreed immediately, saying there was no problem, but then Zhang Keyi made another request that made her jaw drop.
"Is it okay to not eat for three days and not sleep for three days?"
Zhang Keyi then added: " I want you to be in a state" .
Hui Yinghong immediately interrupted and expressed her disagreement, "Work is work, why do you have to go three days without eating and three days without sleeping?".
The explanation given by Zhang Keyi is: " But if she plays a dying person ".
After hearing this, Er Dongsheng also joined Zhang Keyi's team, saying that he had also asked the actors not to sleep. This gave Zhang Keyi the confidence to shout: "That's right."
Remuneration in the entertainment industry has always been very high, and some of them are paid celebrities who do not do their job, such as acting as stand-ins, cutting out pictures, counting numbers... This has also damaged the reputation of the entertainment industry, making people think that actors should suffer all kinds of hardships for being paid so much.
If everything is for better interpretation, there is no problem at all.
But as Zhang Keyi put forward, "not eating for three days and not sleeping for three days" just to act out the state of a dying person, this request is indeed a bit unreasonable.
Nowadays, makeup technology is developing rapidly, and it is not difficult to draw the expression of a dying person.
The most important thing for an actor is "acting". Only actors without acting skills need to rely on external forces to force themselves to become the characters in the play.
Zhang Keyi stated this request so confidently. It seems that it is not an uncommon thing in the entertainment industry. It is obvious that acting can solve the problem, but it has to achieve the so-called "effect" by damaging the body.
Miao Miao When she was acting in " Youth ", Feng Xiaogang asked other actors to isolate her in order to make her more involved in the drama.
At first, everyone would talk to Miaomiao habitually, but every time due to Feng Xiaogang's request, the actors would say " is not good, no, no, I can't tell you" , and then left.
In order to achieve the "effect", Feng Xiaogang gradually blurred the boundary between Miao Miao and the outside of the play, causing her spirit to gradually wander in a negative direction.
In "A Letter to He Xiaoping" written by Miaomiao herself, she described it this way: " This is the first time I want to pull you away from my body... Standing on the balcony, I actually want to jump."
If an actor needs to rely on the experience of the character to enter the role, then it is not acting, but filming a documentary..
And a good director will definitely use a better way to guide actors into the role, rather than using a way that damages the actor's mental and physical health to achieve the effect of filming his own movie.
3. Vanity Fair's "Looking at the Dishes"
In the process of choosing to cooperate with seniors in the Hong Kong circle, when facing well-known actors such as Er Dongsheng, Wu Zhenyu, Hui Yinghong, etc., the competition among artists is very fierce.
But when it came to and Paul , no one stood up.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while. Seeing this, Paul Che stood up sincerely, spoke standard and fluent Mandarin, and sincerely invited all the artists to play with his "little old man".
Even after talking about this, the artists in the audience were still unmoved. In the end, only Xu Weizhou stood up. The TV series that
artists will collaborate with seniors in the Hong Kong industry to remake are all very classic and well-known TV series. For example, Paul Cha’s TV series is " The Deer and the Cauldron ".
If Jordan Chan were to be this "mentor", would the scene still be so silent?
It can also be seen from this clip that in the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, "watching the dishes and picking up the dishes" is still the choice of most people.
Before Su Yiming won the Winter Olympics championship, Lin Gengxin was scolded as "snobbish" by netizens because of the sentence "I am fairly familiar with him" .
Because when Su Yiming was ten years old, he and Lin Gengxin co-produced " Takes the Powerful Tiger Mountain ".
Su Yiming, who was still young at the time, liked this "brother" very much and often updated Etlin on social platforms.
But Lin Gengxin never responded. It wasn’t until Su Yiming won the Winter Olympics in 2022 that Lin Gengxin ran to Su Yiming’s Weibo and commented: “ Send me up, I’m pretty familiar with him.”
’s desire to curry favor and gain popularity is written directly on his face. With such a snobbish behavior, it’s no wonder that netizens are judging him.
In the entertainment industry, not being famous also means being vulnerable to unfair treatment.
In 2016, the little-known Peng Chuyue and his group participated in a variety show and challenged themselves to eat very spicy turkey noodles.
Peng Chuyue was also sweating profusely from the spicy food, so the host reminded him that there was milk on the table to drink.
He was so dizzy from the spicy food that he drank it directly. The pungent and strange smell stopped him.
Teammate Xiao Zhan came to take it and smelled it, and found that it was not milk at all, but a bottle of paint.
was so frightened that Peng Chuyue went to the hospital immediately. The program crew's behavior of trampling on human dignity and health made netizens feel sorry for this unknown artist.
But unexpectedly, Peng Chuyue clarified for the show crew, saying that he was admitted to the hospital because the turkey noodles were too spicy.
Coincidentally, Dasuo, who became somewhat famous with " Mars Intelligence Agency ", also broke the news in a variety show.
When he was still not famous, because he didn't take the initiative to say hello to a certain artist, he offended the big star without thinking. He took him to a room and scolded him severely.
Although it is not an unforgivable thing for people to think about themselves, be selfish, and be snobbish, they can also bully those who are weaker than themselves while following the crowd.
uses this to show off his little fame and power. Such two faces are indeed worthy of criticism.
4. "Drama queens" are rampant
Some celebrities' "drama addiction" is not only limited to being satisfied with dramas, but also includes variety shows.
Shen Yue, who debuted six years ago, has participated in various events, but now standing on the stage of "Infinite Transcendence Class" to introduce himself, looked like he wanted to cry in the first sentence, and his voice was trembling.
But she said that she would not be like this normally, nor would she be like this on the set, which made the seniors in Hong Kong cast doubtful eyes.
But when it was over, Hui Yinghong and Xu Shaoxiong came to comfort her, but Shen Yue, facing the comfort of the two seniors, actually showed a look of horror.
's body also huddled together. This seems to be two different things from what she said about "being unable to control her emotions."
Although many fans say that Shen Yue's "feeling of vulnerability" is the true expression of a "social terrorist", but Shen Yue, who has been in the industry for six years, still remains skeptical.
Nowadays, there are many artists who show their "acting skills" in variety shows.
After Cecilia Cheung said that she had not slept for three months in a row, Wu Xuanyi said that she was hit by a car and flew five or six meters away when she was a child, and she was fine. She even shockingly said that she ate chocolate because she was anemic..
Hua Chenyu criticized Yang Mi for being too short when recording the show. He acted like a conservative boy, but he ended up having children.
Zhao Yingzi In order to make people feel different, she deliberately chose a pot of fake flowers in the flower selection part of the show, and even asked the director to cut this part out.
I can only say that instead of using false and exaggerated ways to enhance your presence, it is better to improve your acting skills and live a good life.
The four types of domestic entertainment problems mapped out by "Infinite Transcendence Class" have existed for a long time, and they cannot be changed only by changes in the artists.
Directors should calm down, give up relying on controversial topics to increase ratings, abandon the concept of sacrificing actors' health for the so-called effect of the work, or it is a marketing method, and create better variety shows and TV dramas.
is a better way to prove your strength and win the favor of the audience.
Artists should improve their own quality, take off the "tinted glasses" of "looking at the dishes", and concentrate on studying acting skills. If you have good works, the audience will naturally remember you.
