The most touching moment in the "This Is Street Dance 3" finals may not be the moment when Yang Kai won the championship, but the moment when Wang Yibo watched Bubu, who was defeated after the team battle, bid farewell to the stage with a gentle smile.
At that moment, Ku Gai shed tears for Bu Bu with genuine emotion.
Despite the continuous controversy from the elimination of the master, the water stage to the finals, "This Is Street Dance 3" is undoubtedly the most popular variety show in recent times. The eight-hour finals, the longest in history, has given rise to new challenges from last night to today. Social networks offer endless topics.
The most controversial thing before the start of the final night was that many eliminated hip-hop stars refused to be "resurrected". After the finals, hot searches on Weibo were filled with quarrels about the dark horse of the show, whether the runner-up Xiao Chao was the emperor, and why hip-hop won four and two, not spin the bottle and change the draw.
Of course, many people are worried about Bubu and Kugai. The show used Wang Yibo's "Wu Guan" to eliminate Wang Yibo's team members, which also caused netizens to question the real feelings.
For the casual viewers who didn’t know the show that well, it was the biggest regret that they stayed up until the end for eight hours and failed to see Bubu and Yang Kai start a battle of kings.
To sum up, everyone is convinced that Yang Kai won the championship, but the audience in this finals was not satisfied.
Prior to this, "This Is Street Dance 3" was almost a model for the N-generation to break the curse of replacement. After
's Douban score in the first two seasons has been stable at 8.7 and 8.7, the opening score of "Street Dancer 3" is as high as 9.1. Even if it encounters a complete replacement of mentors, it has not affected the show's opening reputation at all. The four new mentors are amazing The performance of hip-hop, the outstanding performance of domestic hip-hop master Xiao Jie and others, the out-of-circle performance of choreographers such as "囍", as well as the hip-hop (freestyle) hip-hop master Bubu from France, etc., directly raised the level of the competition, making the program It once became a new myth of domestic variety shows.
But the night of the finals seemed to expose all the problems accumulated in previous programs. Facing a hip-hop variety show that has maintained a high reputation for three consecutive years, we not only wanted to explore why the finals were criticized, but also wanted to know what the audience really wanted. What kind of "street dance"?
rules: After three years of spinning the bottle, why did the draw change in the finals when four went into two?
Let me talk about the biggest regret of the two finals first: Yang Kai is the top dancer in bboy, Xiao Chao is also an outstanding dark horse in the new generation, but Xiao Chao’s strength and physical strength are not at the level of fighting with Yang Kai. , when two dancers whose abilities are not completely matched stand in the finals, the result is that "Street Dance 3" has contributed to the least exciting and almost one-sided final showdown after three seasons.
Who are the players recognized as strong enough to compete with Yang Kai this season? Bubu, Xiaojie, George, Hammer. It's a pity that none of them are on stage anymore.
’s second biggest regret is that the finals lasted for eight hours, but it did not contribute more classic scenes than any previous episode. Instead, it contributed the most controversy in the past three seasons. Netizens who love hip-hop dance for their own love Dou and the contestants quarreled endlessly. Is this still the original intention of chasing hip-hop?
The first controversy that arose in the finals was the rules. In fact, as
reaches the later stages, those who remain are very strong. Whoever leaves will make some people unhappy. This is normal in the first place, but if there are no reasonable game rules, it will be more than just unhappy.
Let’s not talk about the finals, but let’s talk about the captain’s show at the beginning. It’s not that the other captains didn’t dance well. But "Descendants of Yan and Huang" performed by Zhang Yixing Nukexing Weapon Team is absolutely giving people goosebumps. From the theme to the choreography to the level of dancing, it perfectly integrates the national style into the hip-hop stage. It is a stunning performance. , can the final result convince the public? There is definitely doubt.
Of course, this is not the core of the controversy. The core is the showdown between the top four in the country: Bubu, Yang Kai, Xiao Zhibin, and Xiaochao.
Four people competed for the championship, two from Wang Yibo's team. Originally, the audience was waiting for the show to spin the bottle like in the past, but the program team came up with a cool trick: let the top four in the country draw lots for a battle, and Bubu directly faced Yang Kai.
As a result, Bubu lost to Yang Kai by 49 votes and stopped in the semi-finals.
Of course some people will say that the rules are set by the program team, why can't we draw lots? But the results of spinning the bottle are obviously more uncontrollable. If the program team has no preset script, why not continue the tradition?
In addition to the chaotic rules that bring out the sense of script, the background music also comes out to cause trouble. When Bubu and Yang Kai battled, Wang Yibo's "No Feeling" sounded in the audience. The moment the
music played, Wang Yibo felt bad. Is this artificial sense of drama really necessary? Another major innovative operation of the
finals program group is to create the longest live broadcast of the finals in history.
The finals started at 4:30 p.m., and the team shows of the four captains took turns to appear; from 6 o'clock, the performing guests began to perform. Liu Yuxin, who had participated in , and were back.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, the captains of the first two seasons Han Geng , Wu Jianhao , Yi Yang Qianxi took turns to play. Yi Yang Qianxi, who had short hair, watched the game easily, and then the winners of the first two seasons Han Yu and Ye Yin gave performances.
Finally, there is a duel between dancers, and the overall champion is born at 11:30 p.m. The whole 7 hours can be called a marathon duel.
It seems that every program can find a connection with the theme of the program, and there are also past captains and outstanding former students who have become popular in other programs. It stands to reason that the audience has a good eye, and it is understandable if it is another type of variety show.
hip-hop dance is a competitive competition that highly relies on physical fitness. The finals, which
expected to take a total of 7 hours, was eventually extended by another hour and did not end until 00:30 the next day, the 4th.
During the 8-hour live broadcast, it was a physical test for Yang Kai and Xiao Chao to be able to battle to the end. The fighting spirit of not giving up is certainly admirable, but the result was a serious decline in physical fitness that directly hampered Xiao Chao's performance in the final showdown.
would like to ask why such a marathon hip-hop final is necessary?
What's more important is that the number of exciting works has not doubled as the duration has been extended. In comparison, the finals stage was completely overwhelmed by the semi-final stage. On the
semi-final stage, George's stage was a work based on the movie "Eight Hundred". Various difficult somersaults and tricks brought the audience into the show quickly. In the end, everyone fell down, and George knelt down alone and pounded the ground hard, which was moving.
Teng Zai's "Pinocchio" uses popping to dance the puppet theme, which is all ingenuity.
Xiao Zhibin's "Kung Fu Anxiety", which starts with Xingye 's BMG "A Cloud-Piercing Arrow, Thousands of Troops Come to Meet", followed by the divine song "Anxiety", coupled with humorous dance, it seems It makes people feel like they are watching a comedy movie.
Bubu's " Stranger in Disguise " continues the funny style of the movie, which is both good-looking and funny. The interaction with Ku Gai at the end caused the whole audience to scream.
Such a stage not only allows hip-hop to exude the charm of hip-hop, but also allows contestants to release their unique expressive power.
The finals looked dazzling, and the audience was immersed in the carnival atmosphere. The stage and the atmosphere were very enthusiastic, but the exciting stages were reduced, and there were still some things that caused controversy. The deviation of
’s original intention started from this moment. Contestant
: It’s okay to feel sorry for Bu Bu, but don’t scold Xiao Chao.
What ordinary viewers are most dissatisfied about right now is of course that it’s not Bu Bu and Yang Kai who stand on the decisive stage.
But originally the players were the least of their worries this season.
Because the contestants of this season came out earlier than in previous seasons, many dancers such as Bubu, Su Lianya, Xiao Jie, Xiao Chao, etc. were on many hot searches on the first day of the broadcast and successfully made it out of the circle. In this sense, There is no difference between dancers and dancers who can cover up the other's light. They complement each other.
However, when the match of strength and musicality of the contestants in the finals did not match the emotional investment of the audience, a sense of "script" emerged spontaneously. The current result is that Xiaochao, who was originally so impressive, was ridiculed by many netizens.
But the prequel to this story is that many great players took the initiative to give up the "resurrection" drama before the finals.
Originally, everyone was excited and prepared to see popular players such as Xiao Jie, Da Ting, Gongsun Wuming, , compete in the resurrection match, but several great players on the resurrection list collectively refused to be resurrected.
Everyone has their own reasons, and most of the words are very tactful, but the collective rejection cannot but be thought of. The most unsatisfactory thing about
is that the top players were eliminated early.
Bubu has always been a devilish dancer in the hip-hop world. Other contestants commented on him: "It's like you invited the god in this field."
There is another saying that few hip-hop dancers in the world can beat Bubu. Five people. After the great masters
were eliminated, only Yang Kai and Xiao Chao were left.
Yang Kai is the top B-boy dancer and the only Chinese to win the World Street Dance Championship in the United States.
There is no controversy about his advancement to the finals. The question is who will compete with him. The final result of
is that the program team recommends new ones. But the new product launch did not achieve a blockbuster effect. Isn’t
a good candidate? Of course, he is good at freestyle street dancing and often performs amazingly well. The semi-finals were a dance with the theme of paying tribute to Bruce Lee. Xiao Chao's body control, skill display and stage charm were all explosive, especially the nunchuck dance part was amazing.
But for a dark horse player like Xiaochao, his selling point is "explosive power" rather than "endurance". Physical fitness and strength can be shaped through training and experience, but Xiaochao has not gone through too much experience. , he is a player with outstanding potential but insufficient foundation. He is suitable to be a rough jade, rather than being exploited before he is ready.
Did the person who picked him have a wrong vision? No, the person who picked him had a good eye, but he just used it in the wrong place.
But should Xiao Chao, who was obviously physically exhausted at the end of the finals and still persisting, take the blame for this? Of course not.
Mentor: Wang Yibo’s tears were the most touching, but all four mentors are the best
Another person who should never take the blame for the bad reputation of the finals is of course the captains. When the
program started airing, the four captains were the most worried. The instructors in the first two seasons of
each have their own characteristics. There are instructors like Huang Zitao Xiaozhu who are more lively, and there are also surprising top-level instructors like Yi Yang Qianxi. However, due to various reasons such as the epidemic, the last season Yi Yang Qianxi, Han Geng, Wu Jianhao, etc. were all absent, so the program team had to work hard to invite Zhang Yixing, Wang Yibo, Wang Jiaer and Chung Hanliang . Chung Hanliang was almost the last one to finalize the decision.
For variety shows, the characters of the fixed guests and the chemical reactions between the guests are an important part of the program's continued attraction of audiences. "Street Dance 3" has all new instructors in one go. Netizens once joked that Wang Yibo "doesn't speak." , Chung Hanliang "can't explain clearly", Zhang Yixing "can't explain clearly", Wang Jiaer "cannot explain clearly", what do you think of this season?
But from the beginning of the show, when the city woke up from the darkness and the teams led by the four new captains woke up, the stage began to boil. The audience soon discovered that all this was not a problem at all. The captains' investment in hip-hop and their mutual affection on the stage Appreciating mutual understanding can actually bring out the power of being more out of the circle.
The first hip-hop dance to appear in this season was not even from a contestant, but Zhang Yixing’s Sheep Hammer.
Everyone studied the video of his "hat trick" over and over again. Even after looking through Newtonian mechanics and gravity, they still couldn't explain why the hat could run up his arm. Whether they were people who loved hip-hop or not, they were all watching it at the time. His dance made the show even more popular.
Wang Yibo is obviously a cool guy who always has an expressionless face in Tiantian Xiangxiang. However, in "Hip-hop 3", when he saw a great player, he was often so excited that he lost control of his expression. Fans complained about him being noisy on the barrage.
can dance and he is charming. He can master almost all kinds of dances. He has strong body control and his movements are clean and rhythmic. He is now a top performer, and many fans have also fallen in love with hip-hop.
Wang Jiaer is good at dancing and has a strong sense of variety. He can liven up the atmosphere when Huang Bo doesn't make a guest appearance.
Zhong Hanliang, who appeared last, is no longer young, but he keeps fighting with the young man who can be his son. He himself said that he is definitely the weakest and will probably lose, but I am not afraid.
It can be said that the four captains collectively completed the mentor's counterattack, and even the fans were quiet.
Never expected that the biggest fan quarrel came after the finals night.
However, the series of disputes among fans actually have nothing to do with the four mentors, but with the competition system. It is the unreasonable competition system, rules and program direction that amplify the conflicts among fans, but this is also the most regrettable part.
These young people originally fell in love with hip-hop because of their mentors, but now for completely unnecessary reasons, the controversy of the show has overshadowed the hip-hop itself. Is this the original intention of the four captains to participate in the show?
Street Dance: Is the first in history good? What exactly is "street dance" that the audience wants?
So the biggest problem lies with the program team?
I have never doubted the ambition and "original intention" of the program team. Anyone who has watched "Hip-hop 3" knows that the director even had a hip-hop duel with several captains during the semi-finals. Without personal investment and love, it is impossible to practice in a short time Become an amateur hip-hop master.
I believe that the program team is sincere about the show, but everything has its own development, rise, peak and decline. Among many variety shows, it is rare for "Street Dance 3" to be able to maintain its popularity in the third season without losing its reputation. , but in the process of trying to break the curse of the "variety N generation", has the program tried too hard? I think there are many reasons for the innovation of the
program group: First, the consumption and gradual depletion of hip-hop resources. It seems that there are new masters emerging this season. In fact, after watching " Hot-Blooded Street Dance Crew ", you will find that there are a few outstanding ones. They all came from there.
The second reason is that the audience is tired of this model and form; the third reason is that the continuous rise of circle variety shows continues to undermine public attention. Facing changes in the industry and audiences, "Hip-hop 3" is also under tremendous pressure. In order to prevent the audience from aesthetic fatigue,
, in addition to burning money and finding people, the most important thing is the refreshing competition system.
The root of all competition system innovations can be summed up in two words: explosion.
also has an immediate effect. The official data is: its video views on various platforms across the country have exceeded 20 billion, 576 super hip-hop fans have watched hip-hop for more than 2.7 hours a day for 71 consecutive days, and it has received a total of 799 hot searches nationwide. , including 242 hot searches on Weibo. Another important data is that 60% of the users of "Hip-hop 3" are new users. Whether
is out of the entertainment industry this season or not, you will know by looking at Shu Qi , Sun Honglei, Li Bingbing, Song Jia , Lan Yingying , Jin Chen and other major male gods and goddesses in the entertainment industry who support the show with sincerity.
Even great masters like Shi Hang began to write lengthy reviews for the show. Everything looks fine with
, what's the problem?
In my opinion, this situation is not so much that the program team made a wrong innovation, but rather that the program made a choice on who to please and how to please. In the early years, it was more about pleasing the vertical audience of hip-hop, then it adjusted step by step, and now it is amplifying every different circle.
Therefore, in the face of the increasingly "difficult to agree" among today's audiences, the best trump card is to create various firsts in history, so there are water stages, fire stages, wind stages, and the longest live broadcast of the finals in history.
However, with the explosion design, have you considered the reality of hip-hop and the safety of the contestants? Probably, but I couldn't care less.
What's more serious is that the problem of competition system and standards has not been resolved, so in the finals, it was obvious that the "unreasonable game rules" were felt.
Before the start of the finals, many great masters refused to be "resurrected", which was a clear warning to the program. There were no restrictions on the initial stage, and expressing yourself was the most important, so there were many artistic designs and free dances. But the lessons learned become clearer as we go on, and the show still has to follow the same routine.
The real problem here is the format and the real goal of the show.
If the ultimate goal is to bring hip-hop dance out of the circle, we should consider letting hip-hop masters show off the most complete and exciting hip-hop dance, instead of making a water stage that ordinary people will feel is wrong when they hear it. The program team is doing this When it was first in history, did you ever wonder why no one had done it before? Is it because they don’t know that the stage visual effects will explode like this?
The bigger problem is that the minimum requirement for hip-hop is real, why should it have a strong sense of script?
The reason why "Hip-hop" is popular is because the audience is fed up with the numerous routines of variety show scripts in the entertainment industry. Only by insisting on challenging unreasonable challenges can there be a beginning and an end. Did "Hip-hop 3" do it?
Even though there are so many controversies, I think we still have to affirm the value of the efforts of "Hip-hop 3" and provide a stage for outstanding hip-hop players. It has done it.
In the past, audiences would never have imagined that hip-hop and such a quiet work as "囍" would exist. A pair of hip-hop lovers can interpret a touching love story to the point of tears with their tacit understanding and chemical reaction that no one else can match.
The music ended, and with the last ringtone like a "soul bell", all the audience were moved. As a result, hip-hop dance rarely relied on content to get out of the circle.
However, the most pity is to reach the finals. This variety show, which became popular in its third season because it didn't follow the routine, has returned to the routine of domestic variety shows.
"Why not let Bu Bu and Yang Kai compete?" "Why "Descendants of Yanhuang" is not the first team leader show" "Why use Wang Yibo's songs to eliminate his contestants" "Why the competition system is unreasonable" "Why is it so tiring to have an eight-hour live broadcast? In the end, everyone ran out of energy"...
All these criticisms actually point to one question: Why can't "Street Dancer 3" escape the routine of domestic variety shows in the end?
It’s easy to criticize specific things that the program did wrong, but I always wonder, why did the program team make so many mistakes in the end after playing a good hand?
To put it mildly, there is no way to change the thinking inertia of many domestic variety shows, and they unconsciously copy previous "experiences".
Speaking more generally, the program team that has been working hard to spread hip-hop culture still can’t believe the vitality of hip-hop itself. The so-called vitality of hip-hop is not only composed of advantages, but also contains a large number of shortcomings and risks. Freedom and uncontrollability are all part of vitality. When the program team uses the routines of domestic variety shows to eliminate risks, it is actually erasing vitality.
But no matter what, hip-hop is worth it.
Excellent players may lose the game, but they never lose themselves in the game.
Bubu did not enter the finals and is recognized as the uncrowned king. The four captains of
were moving until the end. It was the charm they showed in the show that made more people fall in love with hip-hop. The
program has problems like this, but I still hope that this program can continue. When the resources of domestic hip-hop dancers are exhausted, everything in the past will surely end, and a new situation is about to come. As the program said at the end, In the next season, the past captains will form a team to compete with hip-hop masters from all over the world.
But no matter what the future holds, the program team needs to remember why this variety show was popular in the first place. The results of the competition are only part of the game.
The turmoil caused by the finals today reminds me of what Feng Zheng said in the finals of "Hip-Hop 2". The relationship between the contestants is not so much opponents as comrades. Although there is competition, they are actually fighting together. Win a battle, there is a winner or lose in the game, but there is no winner or lose in dance. In the end, the winner should be hip-hop itself.
Compared with the victory, defeat and controversy, when Bubu was eliminated, Wang Yibo hugged Bubu on the spot. This kind of sympathy and sympathy between the dancers is the most touching.
"Street Dancer 3" has just aired its third season. Compared with "The Voice of China" which has reached its eighth season, and "Extreme Challenge" which has reached its sixth season, it still has a long way to go.
But don’t forget what the original intention of the show is. It’s not the routine of domestic variety shows, but the freedom of hip-hop.
is like Wang Yibo, the champion captain of this season. He saw "Dance Friends·Dynamic Zone National Street Dance TV Challenge" on TV and was deeply attracted to become a B-boy, so there is another story behind it. The
game rules are not worth it, but hip-hop is also worth it. The controversy and ridicule are not worth it, but Wang Yibo and Bubu are. #Entertainment Comprehensive Awards#
