In the past 2021, there was a popular word on the Internet called "adult love".
From "The Sea of Stars" starring Liu Tao and Lin Feng, to Yang Mi's description of the male and female protagonists in "Lady Hu Zhu" as adults in love, to "Xiao MinJia" and "Love is Delicious" are all about the mature concept of love.
"Adult love" has become the most concerned emotional direction at present.
In such a big environment, emotional variety shows also have to catch up with the trend, such as the light mature age love observation reality show "Semi-mature Lovers" launched by Tencent.
Just saw this name and thought it was very interesting, we have heard of "Semi-Sugarism", we have heard of "Youda above, lovers are not enough", the so-called "semi-mature" is really a very delicate state, in the budding, but has not yet broken through the layer of window paper.
"Semi-Mature Lovers" focuses on the emotional state of young mature men and women, why are men and women in their 30s still single? What are their judgments and views on love and marriage? In the process of interpersonal communication, how do they communicate with the opposite sex, and what are their concerns?
Around 30 is a very awkward age, they are no longer as emotionally full as in their early 20s, thinking that as long as they love each other, nothing is an obstacle.
People have arrived at the age of establishment, have a certain social experience and vision, understand that many things are actually more important than love, and will use more rational and detailed ways to choose a relationship.
They may not have as much patience to get to know a stranger, to get to know each other from the beginning, to have a relationship, and not to let themselves invest and put themselves in a position of inextricability.
But it has not evolved to the point where you can completely disregard love and non-love, and retreat to choose a more suitable person, and still have a little vision and fantasy about love.
Perhaps it is this delicate and tangled mentality that has led to more and more young people in their 30s being single so far.
It is also based on this mentality that "Semi-mature Lovers" put forward the program purpose of "looking at the three views without looking at the five facial features", inviting a group of urban young mature men and women into the "semi-mature apartment", recording everyone's social mode and psychological state through multiple mutual selection, individual dating, collective travel and other links, and at the same time inviting six "semi-familiar observers" such as Wang Ziwen, Jing Tian, Tang Yixin, Wang Yanlin, Xie Nan, and Xue Zhaofeng to analyze various details for the audience.
In the course of the show, we do see the back and forth between the ordinary guests, especially in the process of chatting between the two sides of the single date, the kind of confrontation atmosphere that belongs to adults, occasionally sword-rattling, occasionally romantic to the extreme, one more than one understands the push and pull skills, really see the excitement.
Not only was the session of the guests wonderful, but we also had the privilege of hearing about Jing Tian and Wang Yanlin's feelings about feelings, and the love story of Tang Yixin Zhang Ruoyun and Xie Nan Wujing, a model couple in the entertainment industry.
There will be viewers who will question whether everything that happens in the love variety show is true? Could it be that the program team has prepared the script?
Wang Ziwen, as a person who has personally experienced love variety shows, said in an interview: "Everything is true, and it is precisely because it is true that it will affect people's emotions, and everyone is willing to see beautiful things and beautiful people." ”
The CP is on the head, but the subconscious is not willing to believe that this is true, and some of the audience's mentality seems to coincide with the mentality of those men and women in the show who treat feelings in their 30s.
And feelings are originally metaphysics, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false in a moment, and even the parties cannot fully explain them.
So even if the show will have a script, who dares to say that in the process of performance, there will not be a minute that is not really moving.
We still have to believe in love, do not believe to listen to Xie Nan's romantic story that happened when she and Wu Jing had not yet established a relationship in the show.
At that time, Wu Jing proposed to come to see Xie Nan host the New Year's Eve concert, xie Nan initially refused in his heart, because the two were still friends, wu Jing came to make him feel embarrassed.
But Wu Jing said it didn't matter, just give him the ticket, so Xie Nan gave him a ticket to the rock zone, and she forgot that the seats in that area were often occupied by fans.
Sure enough, after Wu Jing arrived at the scene, he found that there was already someone in his seat, and out of the position of a public figure, he was embarrassed to return the seat, so he stood at the security exit for four hours and looked at Xie Nan on the stage.
When the New Year's Bell rang, Wu Jing stood there silently, counting down tens of seconds in his heart to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
Wu Jing felt that this was also a New Year's Eve with Xie Nan.
These inner thoughts must have been told to Xie Nan by Wu Jing after the two were together, so Xie Nan was very moved.
True feelings can be touched even in the most barren language, and after listening to this story, the other guests could not believe that such a delicate man was actually a "wolf warrior" on the big screen.
Some netizens found the picture of Wu Jing being photographed by reporters under the stage of the New Year's Eve concert, and the surrounding crowd was bustling and noisy, but Wu Jing, who was looking at the stage from afar, had no distraction, and his eyes seemed to be able to see xie Nan alone.
Wu Jing later said that he stood under the stage and looked at her, thinking that this girl was so dazzling that she could control such a large party, and the whole person seemed to glow.
Such a devout love must have been the reason why Xie Nan firmly chose Wu Jing later.
Netizens have also expressed: thank you thank you, I forget it.
This story also tells us that where there are any straight men who are not straight men, it is not you who is warm.
Wu Jing and Xie Nan also said before when participating in the "Happiness Trio" that the marriage time was too long, and it felt that the days were flat, so they came to the show to find problems and see how to solve them.
Hearing such a story happen in real life in a variety show is very novelized into reality.
Wu Jing's approach allows all guests and audiences to cause reflection, in a relationship needs both sides to jointly maintain and operate, and problems cannot be left unchecked, but must be solved.
This is probably the meaning of emotional variety shows, we will see different people face the way of dealing with feelings, the general public, public figures, unmarried, married, old age are good.
As far as the current situation is concerned, single young people in their 30s, in the face of feelings mostly in a lying state of mind, it comes and goes with nature, it does not come and I do not look for it, longing for feelings but helpless.
And "Half-Acquainted Lover" lets us see that romance is an unswerving thing to death, no matter how old we are, we still have to have the illusion of love and eternity.
