"It doesn't feel right, brothers", "Something is wrong", "It feels like the ground of the last century", "What is this"... When the ship docked, the barren and pristine island gradually revealed its true face, and the Wuhas immediately smelled a hint of "deceived" atmosphere.
At this time, the third news of the program came out of the trend, "Beware of travel scams: deliberately providing extremely poor accommodation conditions and taking advantage of the opportunity to increase fees." Behind the positive news explanation, the Five Harbins even threatened to "call the police" and "find a lawyer", and also complained one after another that "this is not excessive."
- A sense of absurdity arises from the moment. But is it just absurd?
This weekend, a new episode of the second season of "Hahahaha" arrived as scheduled. When the "perfect holiday" of the Wuha Tour Group was completely ruined with the departure of the boat, coupled with the "accidents" of the first three episodes of the program, the pattern characteristics of this season were also clearer, capturing some absurdity in real life inspiration, and triggering more life fireworks in the absurd, thus leading to more laughter, warmth and thinking.
The "perfect holiday" tricked by the pit
There is the truth of life in the absurd
The promised "China Maldives" has become a deserted island, luxurious equipment and dinner have become "reclamation" that requires complete self-sufficiency, and any materials and benefits need to be paid to obtain, and the image of "black heart travel agency" played by the director team is more deeply rooted in this episode.
It takes more than 3 hours to get to the pier, and the Wuha Tour Group already has back pain, "Want to get off the bus and relax, right?" However, if you want to get off the bus, you have to buy a travel equipment upgrade package worth 500 yuan from our station wagon. While they were all stunned by this divine operation, the familiar news broadcast sounded again, "Designated shopping places forced shopping as a reason, have raised the price of day trip, do travel agencies strictly abide by the law and regulate their own behavior?" ”
Accompanied by the news broadcasts of some "black heart travel agencies", the absurdity of a kind of variety show is linked to the real world.
This variety show is constantly creating laughter, because it is absurd, strange and unexpected, reducing the psychological burden of the audience when watching. Specifically looking at this "perfect holiday", whether it is a temporary "baggage loss" on the car, or a "triple jump" in the mud, or a shower in a simple tent, wuhatuan is immersed in it and completely abandons the "idol baggage", the experience brought to the audience by the second season of "Hahahaha" is multiple and wonderful, but also strong interaction and life.
In the desert island game, the characters' various interesting and absurd behaviors and ingenious plots are intolerable, and their experiences may be trajectories that daily life has never experienced, but they are cleverly adapted to real life. Each issue has a theme, no longer a simple change of place tourism and meaningless gags, but a interpretation of the encounters and aspirations of ordinary people, showing the public's common yearning for a happy life. In addition to entertainment, the high-frequency interaction between artists and ordinary people is like a daily social activity, creating more emotional resonance with a sense of reality, and the power released from it also makes more netizens touched. Many people said, "It is simply a treasure variety show, and it is also very interesting to watch the second season of "Hahahaha" and think that it is also a very interesting thing to play on a desert island." ”
More importantly, the setting of the show is not to play for the sake of play, but to bring more surprises to the audience in the consistent theme clues and the mode of "changing with the times and adapting to local conditions". For example, in the "plus meal" link in the desert island, the director randomly gives food or splashes water, and the five ha people use an iron pot to block their faces to choose "want" or "don't". Including the "dress up to win accommodation" rule, the challenges in the show are closely related to their current desert island situation.
The second season of "Hahahaha" has created a new trend: variety shows are not only bringing laughter to people, but also focusing on the interaction between people, and the display of life and the encouraging trend have become the future possibilities of this type of variety show.
Respond to life with the absurdity of life
Respond to ordinary people with the hopes of ordinary people
The second season of "Hahahaha" creates a new imaginative space for our literary and aesthetic practices, which constantly stitches up the fun of life in an artistic and humorous way.
At present, the four programs that have been broadcast include noodle masters lamenting that their contentment in life is to "make a bowl of noodles plainly"; there is also the touch of Chen He during the Hanzhong Orangery Guardian Ancient Poetry Contest, "Many times you are the one who is not optimistic, but as long as you do not give up, you will definitely gain something"; and Wuha's tribute to China's aerospace industry after the experience of "A Brief History of Mankind" has responded to the absurd side of life to life, and responded to ordinary people with the hopes of ordinary people.
Is this a blunt value output? When we watch the program in its entirety, we will find that the answer is no. Because in terms of production, it is unique in that although the form is light, the theme runs through the whole process, forming a posture of four or two pounds.
Ordinary people are not tool people in the show, they are hierarchical and deeply related to the environment. "Lingling Noodle House" filmed in the first issue of "Life Noodle Restaurant" is the name of the boss's wife, the teacher Fu relied on this shop to support a pair of children, although later his wife regretted to die, but the son was willing to come back to learn the craft, support the noodle shop, and said "In the future, I will open several shops, all called Lingling Noodle House."
There are both the social attributes of passing on the craft and the emotional attributes of family members waiting for each other. The program does not fall into the previous construction of the stereotyped image of specific characters, but returns to reality, with the recording and reproduction of real scenes, as well as strong realistic care, weaving the texture of each program, so that the fireworks of life can be known, felt, more credible and effective.
The second season of "Hahahaha" uses seemingly irrational, illogical scenes to create an interesting world. Some things worth paying attention to and thinking about in real society show all kinds of anachronisms in this seemingly irrational world, and they are shown in the form of black humor. The "blackmail" and "deception" of the director group and the response of the artists are all hilarious, but often after laughing, there is a trace of reflection that always lingers - this is the aesthetic character of the second season of the show with sadness and joy and "five tastes of life".
More importantly, the second season of "Hahahaha" has taught the audience a wonderful lesson, in addition to the "perfect holiday" in a more vivid way to continue to popularize science and anti-deception knowledge for everyone, the show takes the popular elements as the entry point, and the character settings in the journey and the different roles in society correspond. Just like all their encounters in the third issue of "A Brief History of Mankind", although it is nonsensical, but in the end, as the director said, "Today's arrangement of this journey seems to be a brief history of human development, and finally reached the space age, but also hope that everyone can feel the power of scientific and technological progress." ”
The absurd comedy style of the show lies in the use of accidents to express the affirmation of the individual's will to life, they can optimistically find vitality in the bad and strange desert island environment, after crossing time and space to become "primitive people", and can also act as temporary bosses to exchange free faces for guests' own stories, with the immaturity and abnormality of the characters' actions to reflect the spiritual optimism and perseverance.
In the laughter, people are cathartic about the impermanence of fate, the complexity of life, and the insecurity of life, and at the same time come to terms with this seemingly absurd but hopeful world in the corner.
The highway slices through society
Variety shows should provide clues for the myths of life
After a ridiculous trip, I believe that there must be a lot of things that the Wuha Tour Group should spit on.
"You can imagine that the game we set up is equivalent to the compulsory shopping of 'black heart travel agency', without shopping, you can't get the rights and services that should be your own, and you have to enjoy the treatment of low-quality travel services." On our day, it is actually an allusion to the 'black heart travel agency'. With the director's summary, the encounter of the Wuha Tour Group is also reminding more audiences to polish their eyes.
Looking back at the first four episodes, the second season of "Hahahaha" actually advocates a channel to understand life with a road movie-like experience. The interaction between the guests and nature and society can inspire more people's observation and understanding of life, reflect on themselves, and make reality TV shows warm others while becoming a tool for humor and amusement.
From the perspective of "five tastes of life", analyze these life slices and social symptoms, wake up like a dream after laughing in the hidden reality, laugh in a complex mood to fake the truth, and generate more discussion and value in the interactive feedback of the audience, and truly encourage people to feel their confusion and emotions in the most honest and true state, and play a guiding or soothing role.
Some netizens mentioned, "Using the scenery to see people during the journey to tell Chinese stories, this is probably the best adjustment of life in the relaxation variety show, and the biggest difference between reality TV and the movie is that the role is not played by others, but by yourself." "Connecting insights into life through the way that young people like to hear today not only proves the strong vitality of content creation itself, but also reflects the urgent need to respond to social pluralistic issues and audience emotions."
Letting variety show creation be rooted in the soil of reality, the second season of "Hahahaha" is providing new inspiration for creation: not only to focus on the pleasure of the senses, but also to provide some clues for thinking about the myths of survival and life.
The innovative practice of the program provides a benchmark content demonstration for the industry, and the dual platform co-creation, the superiority of the content-enabled model is once again highlighted: because of the collision of more open production, more accurate insight and more inspiration, the "joint investment, joint production, joint broadcasting, and rotation investment" of tencent video and iQIYI two major platforms have contributed to the innovative cooperation model, exerting their strong original content production capabilities, innovation capabilities, and communication capabilities, and accurately grasping the needs of users and the trend of the industry.
After the exploration of the first season, this cooperation is more familiar, in such a rich picture, the new generation of Wuha tour group collides with the wider society, they taste life with the spirit of "five tastes of life, haha with the right", laughing at all challenges.
