Two weeks after the launch of "New Travelogue", guest Huang Zitao sent two related microblogs, none of which brought the program promotional terms. This is very "Huang Zitao" - do not care about the rules, but very good at "giving".
He first complained that he was "the biggest wrongdoer of the new travelogue", and after experiencing a day of security work, he took out a snack nest: he was repeatedly asked to scan the code before, "very unhappy in his heart", and now he has a close relationship with the work of the security brothers, calling on everyone to "scan the code in and out, safe you and me".
The stem is new, with temper and laughter, and with a rare, uninvited truth. Some people ask, is it in "New Travels" that he is so interesting? Senior people replied that his variety shows were very funny.
After the all-round deformation and disintegration of the term "four sons of return", Huang Zitao, who has been debuting for 10 years, looks like nothing has changed: he has been crazy at will within the safe range for ten years. He has never had any masterpieces in the public sense, but it seems that he has not been angry - idol dramas still look for him, he still receives head variety shows, and it is not difficult to last hot search.
In the answer to the question in the first issue of the show, he said that electric vehicles can be charged with lightning and lightning - such an answer that is lower than the common sense level of ordinary people rubs a magical spark on Huang Zitao and sends the program and himself to the hot search.
"New Travels" this kind of experiential variety show, Huang Zitao is undoubtedly the most topical "variety show beast". As always, he "flies in front of his mouth and chases after his brain", often disobeys the director's arrangement, constantly talks harshly, and will admit it a second after being hit in the face by reality. His first challenge to dangerous games will also take the initiative to integrate into the jianghu of Shenzhen's "Three Harmony Gods" - other guests are still cramped and waiting, and he has begun to talk to the ordinary people on the side of the road: "Brother, where are you?" ”
He said that he only worked for 300 yuan, but his feet stepped on the recruitment bus that paid 200 a day. This is a hard job of dismantling the stage, and he and Chen Feiyu have to work for 8 hours continuously to earn money. The third hour had just passed, and he had already begun to shout: dry, the body could not stand it. He also "instigated" the beaters on the side: I don't like this job, you can also find a job you like to do, there is no need to spend here, harmful to health.
Imagine that this kind of "why not eat meat" argument appears in any other star, from a Weibo apology to a "get out of the entertainment circle" public opinion. But Huang Zitao was able to retreat from the whole body - for ten years, he insisted on walking in the entertainment circle as a "Erha", and he had no intention of "cultivating into an adult", so he was "pardoned".
If you don't understand suffering, you don't pretend to understand it; if you can't do it, you just pick a pick... All kinds of rebellious, ignorant and fearless words and deeds are all true in Huang Zitao. The audience has no inspirational expectations for him, and they are happy to laugh at all kinds of real small shortcomings and small faults in him. In the latest Weibo, he forwarded the comments of netizens about him: "Hzt feels that there is really no disadvantage." For this blunt praise, he gave a "Huang Zitao" style affirmation.
Some people say that "Erha" is the most appropriate portrayal of Huang Zitao's personality. In the world of dogs, huskies are unique and distinct beings: active, energetic, neurotic, and love to break up homes at the first nerve; docile to anyone, with basically zero housekeeping ability; independent and stubborn personality, obedience deviation, that is, not very obedient. Although the HUSKY's IQ is not low, they appear particularly silly because of these personality traits.
This passage is very important for understanding Huang Zitao. He is also one of the few entertainers who can live himself as an adjective. However, before the label of "Erha" was widely accepted, many people once thought he was a monster in the entertainment industry.
In the first five years of his debut, he was disliked: he was disliked for painting smoky makeup, saying that rap was disliked, pushing and shoving with his teammates on the stage and being accused, being shelled with fans, and returning home with SM was regarded as a traitor... He has an exclusive black title and an exclusive black sticker bar, and the famous poisonous tongue cannons in the entertainment industry have also ridiculed him by name.
Even if people don't care about the entertainment industry, it is difficult to escape the popular terrier of "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Five Mile Taotao" in the early years of Surfing the Internet, and his exaggerated and deformed facial features in a piece of emoji.
He was one of the first artists to count as "traffic", but his fans did not yet have black powder to fight - black powder gathered under Weibo to scream and scold. He is the least popular of the "four sons who returned to China" and the one with the strongest backlash against criticism. In order to fight back against the bastard meal, the word beginning with F appeared in his avatar. During that time, other teammates were committed to becoming pure love idols or inspirational role models in the entertainment industry, and Huang Zitao's Weibo always had dirty words, smoke, and Durex.
His real opportunity to go to the public is the variety show "Real Man 2" in 2016 - that year, "Small Fresh Meat" was still a popular candidate for major variety shows, and Lu Han was on "Run! Brothers" and Zhang Yixing's "Extreme Challenge" have caught up with this trend. Huang Zitao's start in this variety show is not good. At first, people criticized him for not being polite, being free and loose, and being the star who was punished the most for doing push-ups. He stinks, middle school, likes to stand up, and is punched in the face every minute. The instructor asked everyone to be self-critical, and Huang Zitao replied: "I think I am perfect, I like myself." In this high-intensity, semi-militarized national defense education program, Huang Zitao contracted the vast majority of laughs. This accumulated the first popularity of the public for him, and also allowed netizens to see his husky attributes for the first time.
Of course, Huang Zitao knows that he is called "Erha" by everyone. After going through a process of "no one scolds me and I'm not used to it", he calmed down on the memes and continued to talk about the rotten terrier of "go die".
In 2019, People magazine interviewed Huang Zitao's father, and people rarely saw the life of a star's father, and also saw the understanding and misunderstanding, complaints and love between father and son. Although the father also carried the "Huang Zitao" style of self-confidence and madness in the interview, this report still provides a huge aspect of Huang Zitao, and people gradually believe that they have accepted the origin of his "silly, soaring" temperament.
For ten years, Huang Zitao's husky attributes have been maintained, without division or collapse, so strong that people cannot doubt it. He still scares fans, netizens and paparazzi on Weibo, and sometimes "nosy" and "the road is uneven", such as Yamy, a female group player who was caught in the storm of termination last year, and scolded the street last year when he watched the Olympic Games... People especially accepted his anger and madness, after all, everyone knew what bad eyes Erha could have.
He frequently retrogrades in the entertainment industry. In 2019, when the stars were still doing business on Weibo, Huang Zitao said harshly, "Here is the world of advertising, marketing, hot search, negative, and promotion... It's not worth saying anything from your heart", announcing that weibo will not be updated anymore. Now, as his peers retreat from Weibo to seek self-preservation, he has made a comeback, whining recklessly, typos, abusing ellipses, posting pictures of himself, flaunting wealth, narcissism, or blackening.
His interview clips and variety show highlights are constantly gathered into a "source of happiness" and spread on the Internet. He wasn't overly involved in the film and television industry — and while he did sneakily make bad films, he didn't ruin any of the IPs where audience expectations were particularly high. Among the works he participated in, the highest rated ones were the TV series "Hot Blood Boy" and "Bloody Companion", which are the bloody style scripts that are considered to be "true colors".
Huang Zitao played Wu Qian in "Hot-Blooded Teenager"
His former teammates are trying to transform after the age of thirty, and he doesn't seem to be thinking about it. In the idol drama "Don't Fall in Love with your Boss" that aired in April 2022, Huang Zitao played a completely untrustworthy domineering president. The performances were lackluster and the episode ratings were not high. But the audience did not aim the muzzle of the gun on other traffic artists, but only attributed this unsuccessful attempt to Huang Zitao's "true color". People are convinced that Huang Zitao's various things are just playing himself.
Music blogger Er Di recalled that in a Japanese interview, Huang Zitao bluntly said that he did not know the Beatles, and would also read the English single "7 Years" as "3 Years" - he did not mind being exposed to the lack of a certain aspect, and by the way, he gave a little more fun. In the words of Emperor Er, he "does not follow the Standard Code of Conduct for Chinese Stars, such as fake smiles, cuteness, warmth, thoughtfulness, and upbringing... Enrich the single and boring idol face on the market. ”
In February this year, Huang Zitao and fans had another fight on Weibo. The cause was a love affair scandal, and fans scolded him for several pages. He went viral in the comments section: "One fantasy or what's wrong, a photo I need to say something?" Fans are also aggrieved: "The first place in the powder." It will only be nested. "It may be news to change to other stars, but on Huang Zitao, no one is surprised by this." Even fans and him are increasingly describing a rare tacit understanding: instead of busy making police accusations, it is better to recharge and scold Huang Zitao. Sometimes, he is also willing to nag a few words of the heart, but refuses to "let the fans have illusions about me".
Huang Zitao is always labeled as "the first generation of traffic", but at this moment, few people still regard him as traffic. New traffic is rising faster and more aggressively — though they don't dare to paint smoky makeup, lose their temper, speak wildly, or express themselves truthfully.
The real out-of-line lunatics have disappeared from the entertainment industry, and more "normal people" are irresistibly adapting to this uncertain era. And Huang Zitao, as the "traffic" left over from the previous decade, exchanged his rare personality and truth for the last bit of immunity in the field of public opinion.
