As various variety shows and reality shows continue to roll out, more and more people are seeing another side of celebrities' private lives. "Longing for Life", "Youth Travels", "I Am an Actor", "Ace to Ace", etc., are some of the more popular variety shows in China now.
The producers and behind-the-scenes staff who produce these variety shows are also frequently pushed on the hot search because of these well-known variety shows. For example, Wu Min, the former director of the Extreme Challenge, his variety show is directly enshrined by people, and some people say that as long as the program comes from his hand, it must be a fine product. But in fact, the name Wu Tong is also a guarantee for excellent domestic variety shows.
Especially recently, in the second season of "Youth Travel", the name that is always cue by various guests has reappeared in our sights.
As a producer and director of Zhejiang Satellite TV, Wu Tong created many excellent programs at a young age, silently bringing a lot of laughter to the audience and friends. Don't look at Wu Tong has already produced a lot of shows, but he is only 35 years old. From our stereotypical age of producers and directors, Wu Tong is really very young.

Wu Tong graduated from Zhejiang University of Communication and has participated in the production of many large-scale programs. For example, "The More I Jump, the More Beautiful", in 2011, he served as the producer of several programs such as "I Am Not a Star" and "Applause Rings", becoming the fastest growing post-85 producer of Zhejiang Satellite TV, and the youngest producer.
2015 was his prime, as he served as the overall coordinator of The Voice of China Season 4. The following year, he became the chief producer of "Ace to Ace", and then in 2017 he rose steadily, launching Zhejiang Satellite TV's "The Birth of an Actor", and in 2018, he launched "I Am an Actor". From this point of view, Wu Tong's career has been smooth.
Wu Tong's name first appeared in our sights because of "The Birth of an Actor". As The first talent show in China, this show has led a trend of domestic performance variety shows, and more and more producers have also chosen to produce programs in this way. Some good actors have also been given the opportunity to be paid attention to again. But the works that make Wu Tong more out of the circle are the recent programs.

The broadcast of "Detective Detective" made Wu Tong angry again. This is the most tested ability among the many variety shows launched by Wu Tong. It may also be due to the fact that the current variety shows copy each other, there is nothing new, and the game link is becoming more and more boring, and without good game ideas, it is doomed to not get good ratings.
For the directors of variety shows, they hope to overcome some difficulties in the program. Wu Tong undoubtedly made these programs attractive to the audience at the same time, but also sold himself.
For example, in the variety show "Youth Tour", Wu Tong innovated, chose to self-direct and self-act, and personally led the guests to complete one task after another, not only guiding them on the side, but also participating in the recording. Therefore, many guests in this show will cue his name, which also allows him to increase his exposure. And in the show, Wu Tong looks very cute, very cute, and brings us a lot of laughs and points to watch.
He is in stark contrast to our stereotypes of directors in the past. For himself, there was no doubt that a wave of goodwill was harvested. Because originally we thought the directors were more serious, because he had to carry the whole scene. However, Wu Tong's non-rational playing cards allows us to appreciate that the director also has a cute side, he will not take care of his own image, often does not trim the edges, and is a director who even speaks unfavorably.
Some people say that Wu Tong's fire is caused by his own strength and funny. But in fact, in detail, it seems that everything has traces to follow.
From the guests of "Youth Tour", it is already a program that is destined to be on fire. Not only the comedian Yang Di, but also Jia Ling, one of the most powerful female directors in the history of China's box office, but also the current popular idol Fan Chengcheng, the powerful singer Zhou Shen, and the new grandfather Lang Lang.
Such a lineup alone makes it difficult not to watch, after all, these are the funny responsibilities of some other variety shows. Just talking together makes people want to see. And he will also invite some flying guests, such as Shen Teng and Sha Yi, which are the old regulars in the variety show.
The strong guest lineup has made the ratings of this show not low, coupled with the fact that the production of the program has borrowed from South Korea's variety shows, and some novel links have attracted the attention of the audience. He chose to increase his exposure from such a program, which is undoubtedly the best choice.
In order to be able to cater to the audience, Wu Tong also made a lot of efforts. He knows what to do now that he needs to cater to the mainstream market, and he'll be moving in that direction. He knew that it was too late to go to school and bully people, and it was better to go to such a cute role. Although he became the most snubbed director in history and has been wildly spooked by guests, the results of the shows he received were particularly good.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > controversy</h1>
But in fact, at the beginning, Wu Tong's reputation was not particularly good, and he was once scolded on the hot search because of the editing problem of "Ace to Ace". Subsequently, he sincerely apologized on social platforms, saying that he had received 100,000 private messages. Since then, the name Wu Tong seems to be more and more frequently pushed on the hot search.
But it is true that the quality of the new season of "Ace to Ace" is much worse than before, and the show often has many guests cluttered halfway during recording, and the editing is chaotic and the content is also very scattered. Later, it felt like it was completely following the mainstream media in the gimmick, and the content quality was very low.
Although the audience complained that Wu Tong's programs were too uncreative, and often copied excellent works at home and abroad, Wu Tong was tirelessly committed to creating his own personality in front of the camera. As a director, his appearance rate in front of the camera is particularly high. But also with various stars to appear on camera, rubbing their heat. As if for Wu Tong, building a personal brand is more important.
There are also many viewers who complain, hoping that he can pay attention to some personal abilities and not want to make an eye-catching debut. But Wu Tong only responded that these were related to the fans' requests, and could not meet the needs of everyone.
When the quality of the program is poor, it highlights a lack of his personal ability, although Wu Tong is now felt cute and cute by many passers-by fans, but he can throw the production and editing of the program to the fans, and the attitude of answering non-questions is really unpleasant. This also has to be reminiscent of Wu Tong, who frequently appears on hot searches, is it really because of strength that attracts attention?
