In the summer of 2021, the highlight will be the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Therefore, everyone expressed their heartache for the film and television works and variety shows that coincided with the Olympics:
This year's ratings were already very low, and this year's international events made the attention even worse.
But, it is obviously unrealistic to free up the entire summer schedule, and smart teams will use popular elements to create "timely" programs.
For example, Mango Channel 's latest variety show "Summer School", won the first place in the ratings of the six networks (satellite TV) when it first aired, and in the overall ranking of CCTV programs, it was second only to the opening of the Olympic Games in the same period. Mode.
Not only that, its popularity and discussion on various platforms are also considerable. Compared with the increasingly weak current situation of its predecessor programs "Longing for Life" and "Run", this variety show seems to have the potential to become a "hot hit" in the summer.
Of course, excessive expectations can easily lead to "praising" results, so next I will only analyze the content of the first episode and analyze why the ratings of "Summer School" are so "horrendous".
(1) In line with the current sports theme
In addition to He Jiong and Yang Di who are the hosts, the guest lineup of the show can be said to be "varied", including pianists, actors, singers and boy band idols. , at the same time, the age span among the guests is also quite large.
For example, Chung Han-liang , who was born in 1974, can already be the father of post-95s singer Cai Chengyu. Even the younger " Rain God " Xiao Jingteng, who has been in his thirties for many years, seems to be far away from the "teenager" "There's some distance.
However, apart from their two identities as actors and singers, these two people can be said to have great backgrounds.
Chung Han-liang has been learning skating since he was a child, and his skills are very professional. He also won the sixth place in the Hong Kong speed skating skate event.
Xiao Jingteng is impressive in playing basketball. In 2015, he played a basketball game with Zhejiang Science and Technology University college students, and finally led the team to victory with 49 points.
In addition, the first issue also invited the "Queen of Gymnastics" Liu Xuan, who stunned everyone with a series of "one-arm giant loops" at the Atlanta Olympics.
Although the gymnastics movements were not reproduced on the spot, everyone felt as if they had returned to the youthful years of this Olympic champion under the specially set up memory killing that spanned 20 years.
Judging from the preview content, the next episode will also invite world champion-level guests: Deng Yaping and Zhang Jike , who will also demonstrate their amazing skills on site.
In addition to the carefully prepared guest lineup, every aspect of the variety show is also full of movement.
For example, the classic game "Fire Impact", which tests guests' balance and leg strength, and "Who's Knocking on My Wall", which shows different impact forces, are all very consistent with the current Olympic sports style.
(2) Blind box setting: not only surprises
Frankly speaking, the program team initially opened Mr. He from the blind box as the host. This scene looked really funny. After all, Mr. He has never been in the entertainment industry. It’s not a role that you can pick and choose.
Is the promotion point of the program "opening the blind box" going to collapse like this?
The answer is of course no.
First of all, Liu Xuan's surprise appearance and Jerry Yan's interaction with "New F3" on the same stage were all big surprises for the audience.
However, judging from the game content of the first episode, the blind box opened by "Who's Knocking on My Wall" is not just a surprise.
is a game in which four artist guests hang wires in the air, sit on a high wall, and draw blind boxes to choose amateur guests corresponding to different numbers to knock on their walls.
These people come from all walks of life and each have their own skills. They can do martial arts such as Iron Head Kung Fu and Shadowless Kick, as well as giant hula hoops and yo-yos. There are also watching She looks like a housekeeper but is actually an aunt with amazing dancing skills...
is really the best in 360 lines, and the program team also specially set aside time for each group (one or more) to show off their skills, so it is very enjoyable to watch. Very strong.
However, the result of "knocking on the wall" is as full of unknowns as unboxing a blind box. The menacing men and horses may only exert an itchy intensity, but it may also be as powerful as the momentum shown.
For example, the giant hula hoop brother was under everyone's attention, and he seemed to make the hula hoop and the wall nod before leaving. After that, the big brother himself laughed.
The effect of this temporary reaction coincides with the purpose of the "blind box opening" setting.
As for the four guests who were hung in the air the whole time, waiting to be beaten, some were so frightened by the battle that they lost control of their expressions, such as Zhong Hanliang, and some struggled and refused to let go even when they were on the verge of elimination, such as and Wang Mian.
And, the reaction of the people watching the melon-eating was also very interesting, especially the comedian Yang Di, who kept saying good things, adding a lot of laughter to the show.
Variety shows naturally provide entertainment for the audience, but "Summer School" chose to use blind boxes to advance the program. It not only brings surprises, but also allows everyone to see and appreciate talents from various industries and fields. to a showcase of their craft, that’s what this show is worth.
(3) The nostalgia here is not sensational
It is undeniable that Teacher He and Brother Han Liang have taken good care of themselves, but the age difference between them and the guests born after 95 and 00 is indeed there.
His baby is my weak crown, so nostalgia has naturally become a major theme of the show.
Reviews of films and TV shows such as Journey to the West and My Fair Princess, Chou Huajian , Tian Zhen and Jay Chou , etc., these are classics that time cannot erase.
In addition, the achievements, medal winners and famous scenes of previous Olympic Games can also touch everyone's emotions every time they are mentioned.
However, "Summer of School" does not use nostalgia in a sensational style.
For example, the classic game " CrossFire" that spans 20 years, the scene of playing the game 20 years ago is reproduced on the screen, and the guests in 2021 are launching challenges from a distance.
The joy that the classics have been preserved dilutes the sadness of the passage of time, and Teacher He, who was present around 20 years ago, plays the role of witness.
Unfortunately, not all the guests who participated in the game 20 years ago were present, but the arrival of one of them, gymnastics champion Liu Xuan, still brought a lot of surprises to everyone.
Of course, in the first episode, what most evokes everyone's memories is the appearance of " Daoming Temple " Yan Chengxu.
In 2001, the TV series "Meteor Garden" became popular throughout Asia. The tough and inspirational Shancai became an iconic female character, while Daomingsi, Huaze Lei, Ximen and Meizuo, four boys with different styles He is also the originator of all types of male protagonists in idol dramas.
The program team opened a blind box and revealed Yan Chengxu. His personality is very different from the character in the play. He himself is very shy and taciturn.
At this time, the other three members of F4 came out to heat up the scene.
Of course, they are not Zhou Yumin , Wu Jianhao and Zhu Xiaotian , but Shen Mengchen , Wang Zhi and Meng Jia who are "dancing with demons".
is a bit exaggerated, but it really boosted the atmosphere of the scene, especially Shen Mengchen, without any regard for personal image.
And this new F4 also got together to sing the classic song "First Time". The three new members "singed with their faces", which was very funny. In the process, the shy Yan Chengxu also began to gradually Jiajing takes everyone into the world of idols 20 years ago.
But the sensationalism soon stopped.
In fact, wuli Hanliang also played a role in "Meteor Garden". Because his role was so small, he himself didn't even remember that he had acted in this drama. The
program team specially released a clip of him. The handsome guy's expression does look a bit social.
So, surprises are everywhere, and blind boxes are also everywhere.
is different from the sensational atmosphere of other programs recalling the past. Just like the name of the program, this variety show is as hot as summer and as passionate as a boy.
Even when the starring actors of the series from 20 years ago reunited, one was still wearing a vest as before, while the other's clothing color was more youthful and invincible.
In addition, many artists also imitated popular singers in those years on the show. People such as Zhou Huajian, Tian Zhen and Adu all appeared with a new look.
Frankly speaking, the imitation effect of this section is not as good as the previous "New F4", but it is the first episode after all, and the guests participating in the imitation are also Wang Mianhe, a member of the Times Youth League who has little experience in performing. The shortcomings are That's understandable.
Judging from the content and setting of the entire first episode, "Summer School" is a relatively attractive variety show in terms of absorbing the essence of past variety shows and independent innovation.
Judging from the guest lineup, the Olympic champion, the originator of idol dramas and the popular idols come together, which indeed has the effect of opening a blind box of surprises.
From the game aspect, the classic game Fire Impact and the new game Who's Knocking on My Wall both have their classics and novelties.
Based on these advantages, "Summer School" does have the potential to become a popular variety show. As for "hits", it not only needs to not be too popular in every subsequent episode, but also to make the show great. It would be more attractive and surprising.
