variety show " Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves " season 2 (hereinafter referred to as "Sister 2") was launched recently. The first season of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" that harvests a lot of popularity and topics is still yesterday. The judges in the program Fei Wenxi greeted contestants Chen Yanxi , "It seems like yesterday, I attended your wedding." Jike Junyi , who was playing with mobile phones, was startled: "She got married yesterday?" It was like a large and small melon in the entertainment industry who was filled with indigestion and suddenly discovered when the hot search of "Sister 2" - why is this show airing again? This show hasn't been finished yet?
As a sequel to a phenomenal variety show, "Sister 2" has its own halo and popularity before it was launched, but whether it is the performance level of the sisters in this season or the production level of the program, it is greatly reduced compared to the first season. Douban scored only 6 points, far lower than the 8.6 points start of the first quarter, and the score is still falling.
Why is "Sister 2" not good?
The stage is old-fashioned, unlike the sister, like the aunt,
"Many contestants give me the feeling that they are not my sister, but my aunt." Many netizens think that compared with the first season, the contestants in the second season have a larger sense of age overall, and the stage tends to be traditional and have no new ideas. Cecilia Cheung's "Star Words and Star Wishes" by Yang Yuying and "I Don't Want to Say" are nothing more than resing their famous songs in the past; and Jin Qiaoqiao's "The Girl in the Indian" like the art performance, Na Ying's dance with rigid cover-up all give people an old-fashioned feeling.
Some netizens made detailed age statistics on "Sister 2" and found that the average age is only one year older than the first season, but the impression makes people feel that they are several years older.
"Sister 2" is like a middle-aged tea party. Everyone's purpose is very clear: I want to become popular." Miss Ji believes that the performance of the sisters makes people suspect that they started hastily before they were ready. "I am anxious to release the second season after half a year. Are too many sisters wanting to get on the boat?"
thinking centers on the family and it is also the reason why they feel age. "Look at the variety show and go on, don't talk about your husband or children." Some netizens believe that the audience of "Sister 2" is about appreciating independent women, but Cheng Lisha's three sentences are inseparable from her husband Guo Xiaodong . Jin Qiaoqiao and Zuo Xiaoqing talk about children's topics, and they all pulled the program from women's inspiration to parents' stories.
Facing with the new generation of sisters, the program team specially arranged an interview with the highlights of their lives. Many people can't help but regard having children as the highlights of their lives, and have also been criticized by many netizens. What was praised was Zhou Bichang's answer, "My highlight moment has not arrived yet."
Independent women are not unable to have children as the highlight moment. The latest issue of "The Debater" "Whether Independent Women Should Accept Borrow Gifts" has become a hot search. The audience Ms. Liu highly recognized the viewer Xi Rui's view, "Real independence should be the right to choose freedom", "But as a variety show that hopes that the audience can vote hard, the family life of taking care of their husbands and children has obviously caused the highlights to be misplaced."
rethinks the value of women. The rapid detonation of "Sisters Who Make Waves" on the topic cannot be separated from the precise and powerful expression of each guest, but after watching the first episode of "Sisters 2", the audience did not appreciate what women's inspirational points are. This is also the reason why many people think that Zhou Bichang’s answer is more "highlighted". Cheng Lisha should go to " Wife's Romantic Travel " instead of this show.
The mode of learning from others is difficult to copy successfully
"Many people are curious about these topics when the actresses will 'open up' (quarrel), but in the second season, this suspense is gone." Ms. Ji said.
Not only does the guests of the show do not have the youthful passion of the first season, but the show format also makes people see a midlife crisis.
The biggest highlight of "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" is that a group of 30+ actresses come to choose a girl group, and many people have their own topics. The inspirational core of the older girl group talent show package of women's growth makes "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" unique, but after closer inspection, you will find that the so-called innovation is nothing more than a combination of popular talent show elements and observation reality shows.A variety show that is full of strengths can attract multiple audiences. While quickly becoming a hit, it also has the problem of lack of core original competitiveness.
"Sister 2" obviously exposed this problem. The slogan of the first season of the show "All the past is the prologue, hanging straight on the cloud sails, riding the wind and waves", was updated in the second season to "At thirty, having no regrets when you make a move, riding the wind and waves, and having no return to love", and its momentum became much weaker. The first season uses the homophonic melody of "Thirty-six" to play "Thirty-six" and the second season is rhetorical.
Although the program team explained "Thirty Yi" as "encouraging women to work confidently and encourage women to take care of themselves", it is difficult for the audience to understand this meaning literally. Many people see the "make move" in the second half of the sentence, but instead consider whether to use "Yi" or "Yi". The copywriting is still vague and disagreeable, how can it be reflected in the program?
The biggest highlight of "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" is the unique guest of the program. There is a serious "editing point" circulating on the Internet, indicating that "Sister 2" is benchmarked against almost all the characters of the guests in the first season, such as Na Ying's "middle-aged rebellion" Ning Jing , Yang Yuying's "older sweet song girl" Yi Nengjing , Hu Jing is benchmarked against the "rich wife" Huang Shengyi , etc. Regardless of the authenticity, the performance of Na Ying and Ning Jing’s senior Fan Yan and the status of the star-like star in the show does make people feel the similar script logic behind it.
Shanghai Art Film Studio has a famous creative philosophy, "Don't repeat yourself, and do not imitate others." The success of "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves" is due to challenging the market gap in the talent show of older girl groups, but once it falls into a deadlock of self-repellency, it is inevitable that the audience will begin to feel aesthetic fatigue. "Sister 2" has changed its competition system, and it is divided into "Ride the Wind and Fighting the Wind" and "Breaking the Wave Challenge Group" according to the initial stage ranking. The latter will launch a surprise attack on the former during the performance. This competition system has made people see the same variety show "Chasing the Light!" The shadow of Brother. It is hard to say that this is not another time to learn from others' strengths.
