Ten point character chronicle original
Shen Tengmali's fit finally brushed the sense of existence of "Longing for Life".
"Longing for Life" aired in season 6, and now it is silent.
This season set an all-time low and the lowest number of scorers. This season's mushroom house came from Changde Peach Blossom Source to Hainan Changjiang, the main MC has not changed, it is still Huang Lei, He Jiong, Zhang Yixing, Peng Yuchang, Zhang Zifeng.
Old partners, new locations, more gold lord fathers, but fewer show audiences. The new season is not less alive, the program team set up a bunch of game rules: guests can exchange shells for supplies, the method of obtaining shells can refer to a whole "Old Fisherman's Life Guide", with the unlocking of shells can get different levels of rewards: cars, tree houses... In addition, shark boats filled with supplies appear from time to time on the beach, and guests can exchange labor for more supplies.
The effect after the operation is, boring!
In the first issue, the program team specially arranged for the juniors to arrive at the mushroom house first, followed by He Jiong Huanglei. But Zhang Yixing, Peng Yuchang, Zhang Zifeng hid from the cat for a little half a period, and then lay flat in the yard to watch the sea spend a small half period, bored!
The highlight of the second period is that Liu Haoran and his party went out to sea to fish, and the content of the program was monotonous to the point that the whole audience had nothing to say, forcing the later stage to explode "boring" with flower characters.
Out to sea fishing, a boring section
The third issue is more like the Entertainment Circle's Hainan vacation vlog: a group of people comfortably collecting shells on the beach, graffiti around the strangely shaped cart, and driving a beach bonfire party. The painting style is fresh, and I feel that I can make a big film at any time, but only the picture is left.
From the time when every issue was densely covered with laughter and tears, Weibo queued up on the hot search, to the late bald head can not find a few points to watch, "Longing for Life" has gone through 6 seasons, why is it boring?
A clear stream variety show that came out of nowhere
The concept of "slow variety" that is now familiar is popularized by the emergence of "Longing for Life". For a long time, domestic outdoor variety shows have been the world of competitive variety shows. A series of competitive variety shows such as "Run Brothers", "Extreme Challenge", "The Amazing Race", "Extraordinary Partner" and so on are entrenched in various David TV, relying on games and tasks to create conflicts and attract a large wave of stable audiences.
At the beginning of 2017, a program with the theme of celebrities returning to the countryside and cooking and entertaining friends played the prelude to domestic slow variety shows. Good mountains and good water, idyllic scenery, star labor, old friends get together, simple program content, no PK and competition, the whole time is quiet.
Before the broadcast, some people worried that this program was too vegetarian, after all, the program of the mango station merchants association that had just ended was cold and unsubsorbed. But who ever thought that after the program was broadcast, the unique theme, warm content, coupled with the painting style of the healing department and the small fresh post-animation, let it be like a breeze in a number of variety shows, blowing into the hearts of the audience.
"Longing for Life" initially everything from Jane, resident guests three people and a dog, the circle of old friends Huang Lei He Jiong, outside the ride just returned from abroad Liu Xianhua, the family has a cute pet little H. The mushroom house is located in the small village of Miyun in Beijing, and the guests invited in the first few issues mainly rely on the connections of the director group and He Huang. The program pays attention to "self-reliance, self-sufficiency", the stove is built by three people, the machine for de-corn is manually operated, there is no natural water, and there is no gas stove. The conditions are simple, the stars do not use the aura of the entertainment industry, buried their heads in busy work, just to get a meal and a vegetable, to entertain guests from afar.
The first program opened the situation with the "self-explosion" of song Dandan, an old friend in the circle. Huang Lei is responsible for cooking, He Jiong helps the cook and entertains, Liu Xianhua moves bricks and gags, interspersed with small talk and funny things in the work. Song Dandan blew herself up with the name "Changying", and her interaction with her son Batuu was like the audience being short among the parents familiar to the community. After the broadcast of a song in the program, "Heart Burning" was strongly brainwashed on the hot search.
The first famous scene of "Longing for Life" "Heart Burning"
Experience the fun of ordinary life in the hard-won food, and feel the long-lost human touch from the fireworks in the room. After three seasons, there are many similar healing "famous scenes" in "Longing for Life".
In order to eat a bite of his friend Huang Lei's "Sai Crab", Sun Honglei got off the plane in the middle of the night and rushed to the mushroom house to "rub rice". At the dinner table, Liu Xianhua, who had returned from abroad, looked at the fire and asked Sun Honglei curiously, "Have you ever had such a life?" He nodded, "We've all been so bitter since we were kids." After eating the crab, Sun Honglei said goodbye, hurriedly came, hurried away, which was like a brief escape from the glitzy entertainment circle.
During Qi Wei's guest season, she asked Huang Lei to cook a Shanghai dish, smoked fish. The dish was on the table, and she blushed as soon as she took a bite. She said, "Smoked fish was a great dish for grandpa, and he didn't eat it since he died." A bowl of smoked fish hooked up her family affection, and also let her reveal her lifelong regrets in the show, "I didn't let my grandfather enjoy my blessings." ”
The most impressive touch came from the "silence" at a certain dinner table. At that time, a group of people were eating and talking about their wishes. When it was Tan Songyun's turn, she smiled a little humbly, said, "My wish is very much," paused for a moment, and said, "I just hope I can, eh, dream of her." Before she could finish speaking, she couldn't hold back.
At that time, Tan Songyun had just experienced the death of her mother in a car accident, and the news was boiling. But Huang Lei He Jiong did not continue to ask questions, but handed her a tissue to comfort her, naturally changing the topic, saying that tonight's dish is the taste and method of Sichuan. As a senior host, He Jiong must know that continuing to ask questions means that the program team has more eye-catching topic points, but they have chosen not to create hot spots. In the mushroom house, their identity is only the master.
In this show, food is not only food, but also a bridge that affects people's hearts, memories from the taste buds to the heart. Ordinary fireworks are the most soothing to the hearts of mortals. The relationship between man and food is not disguised, and the relationship between people is naturally sincere. Under the slow pace, the warmth conveyed by "Longing for Life" captures modern people who yearn for pastoral life.
"Longing for Life" has become the signature slow variety show of Mango Station, and it has begun to shoot steadily at a rate of one issue per year.
Yearning for your circle life
Many people do not know that the first season of "Longing for Life" was once because there was no platform to receive, and the program team was worried about losing money and interrupted the recording, and persuaded Huang Xiaoming, who was about to rush to the mushroom house. When the fourth season was broadcast, the number of sponsors climbed steadily, as many as 14, and Huang Lei revealed that the father of the gold lord was so large that "only we blocked customers".
The first season of "Longing for Life" was interrupted
"From poor to rich", production fees also rose with the water, and the program team moved the mushroom house from Beijing Miyun to all parts of the country: Tonglu, Zhejiang, Xishuangbanna, Xiangxi, Changde Taohuayuan, Hainan "Maldives". The number of main MC has expanded, and the mushroom house has become more and more elaborate, and the equipment has become more and more luxurious.
The mushroom house in the first season is a shabby, low brick house, and the mushroom house in Xishuangbanna in the fourth season is like a luxurious modern manor. The kitchen is equipped with the latest range hood and gas stove, there are all kinds of modern electrical appliances in the house, the vegetable garden in front of the door is planted with various organic vegetables, there are cattle and sheep in the yard and even peacocks, which is no longer the idyllic life of ordinary people who yearn for, this is the life of the landlord who yearns for it, and the life of the noble circle that ordinary people yearn for.
The land outside the mushroom house in the fourth season of "Longing for Life"
Popcorn machines, ice machines, sparkling water machines, shaved ice machines, which are their household appliances; Luxury Buddha jumping off the wall, snowflake beef worth tens of thousands, exquisite hand-ground coffee, this is their daily life. Zhou Xun wore more than 40,000 Chanel to the ground, Yang Zi casually carried a brand-name bag that could cover the average person's monthly salary, and Liu Haoran came to the mushroom house with a surfboard. The grounding gas that was once proud of has disappeared, and what the audience sees through the fireworks is the "sky-high" atmosphere of the entertainment industry.
Zhou Xun was dressed in Chanel and carrying bananas in the field
Life is exquisite, but the human touch is faded, and the show is becoming more and more like an outdoor version of "Happy Base Camp".
The most embarrassing famous scene is the "gathering of heroes" in a certain period. That episode of the show was also crammed into the new generation of artists such as "Spit Conference", "Idol Trainee", "Creation 101", "Children of Tomorrow", "Sound into People's Hearts", etc., each with a propaganda task, and forcibly and uncooked together. In the chat session around the table after the meal, Huang Lei's "true temperament" complained, "I don't need to talk to unfamiliar people, laborious nonsense!" As soon as this word came out, the whole scene was written "embarrassment.".
The most relaxed scene of Huang Lei in the whole show comes from his "complaints" about the old wolf. The old wolf was a guest and asked for bibimbap with lard. After making a large table of rice, Huang Lei, with a tired face, "complained" about his request while happily busy with his old friend at the stove.
A certain issue of the various "players" is crammed
The show lost the "warmth" it should have presented. So far, the scenes that everyone talks about most about "Longing for Life" are from the circle of friends gatherings of He Jiong, Huang Lei and other main coffees. Song Dandan, Li Bingbing, Xu Zheng, Sun Honglei, Old Wolf... Either an old friend who has known each other for many years, or a peer of similar status, can promote a relaxed, authentic, natural chat atmosphere and achieve the healing power of both guests and hosts.
Only old friends can play and lose. There is a section in the program that is rated by netizens as "laughing to vomit blood" pit friends daily. Huang Lei He Jiong incarnated as Tony and washed the hair of the bald Xu Zheng with care. The shampoo has been beaten several times, it is not foaming, is it that the bald head will absorb the shampoo, and make He Jiong say that he wants to add money. After a pass operation, in the end, He Huang and the two also intimately arranged the "head polishing" service.
The old friend is gone, replaced by a streaming star to the mushroom house to "alleviate poverty", experience a farming life, and complete the "home" task arranged by the director group.
In the fifth season, Yang Zi came to the mushroom house and received the task of "planting trees". The program group stipulates that planting trees can obtain the corresponding ingredients. So, she, Zhang Zifeng, Peng Yuchang, three people and a tree, two people holding a small sapling in four hands, leisurely completed the task. Can this kind of performative pastoral experience really be called "labor"?
Friends chatting when they don't do tasks have also changed their taste and become a dinner party in Vanity Fair. Pan Shiyi came as a guest, and after a group of people drank tea and chatted, Pan Shiyi got up and planned to take pictures. Zhang Zifeng immediately got up from his chair and said nervously, "You can call me when you take a picture." ”
Zhou Xun brought the newcomer Zhang Jingyi as a guest, and the newcomer was uncomfortable. She huddled around the kitchen, not knowing what she was going to do. It was difficult to find some work, and I came forward to help, but because I was too nervous to deliver the plate to Huang Lei, I was not steady, and I was scared. Doesn't this look like a social animal working under the eyes of a big leader?
The general director of the program once summed up "Longing for Life", "It is a program that satisfies the imagination of urban people now, explores the relationship between people, and takes food as the carrier."
But when the flying guests are becoming more and more unfamiliar, in the face of He Jiong and Huang Lei, two bigwigs in the entertainment industry, such as walking on thin ice, there is nothing to talk about at the dinner table, and can only praise Teacher Huang's rice is really delicious, is this life really still desirable?
The Curse of the NTh Generation?
"Longing for Life" is "borrowed" from the Korean variety show "Three Hours and Three Meals". The original director, Lo Young-seok, once mentioned that the show was inspired by the "power of boredom": "I don't want to do anything, I just want to stay in the countryside, listen to the sound of the rain, make some pancakes to eat, and sleep all day reading comics."
Shooting the seemingly boring daily life out of taste, this is Luo PD's best play. In the original program, the guests were always in difficult conditions and could only work seriously. The ingredients are limited, but find a way to toss out the flowers. There is no tool to grind coffee, so grind coffee with a stone mill that has been ground with peppers. Insist on using simple daily life to achieve a most authentic experience - "how much labor you pay, how fragrant you eat".

But "The Life You Yearn For" seems to be gradually deviating from the road of "boredom" and becoming really boring. The configuration is luxurious, but it is getting farther and farther away from "eating" and getting closer and closer to "dinner".
Deviating from the original intention, it is inevitable to move towards routine. Almost the same role assignment, the main coffee Huang Lei cooking, He Jiong hot field, Zhang Zifeng years quiet good, Peng Yuchang, Zhang Yixing gag joke, a group of people watched Huang Lei cooking, and finally all praised Huang Lei rice well. During the period, interspersed with the audience's already tired of watching the chicken soup and the dinner table, a program was completed without pain or itch.
The show's most important asset, the favorability of the regular guests, is also being lost. "Longing for Life" did make Huang Xiao Chef's reputation, but from variety shows to TV series "Little Joy", "Little Farewell", "Xiao MinJia", almost the role, a middle-aged male character who is afraid of his wife's broken mouth; Almost the same line, like poor mouth show, words with a sense of superiority, nothing to point out two sentences.
The overly dense type image makes the audience quickly tire of Huang Lei's sleek "daddy taste".
And He Jiong, who is the most unlikely to overturn the car, has also caused controversy because of the "gift storm", and the image of the old and good people in the entertainment industry has cracked.
In a certain episode of the show, He Jiong talked about fans gathering to give gifts, and shouted at fans in a half-joking and half-disgusted tone, "You buy stickers don't stick so dead or not, you can't tear it off, all things can only be used by yourself." ”
More than 20 thermos cups and more than 50 brand-name pens became a burden in his mouth. This paragraph caused netizens to frantically complain, And He Jiong's popularity with passers-by also plummeted, "Why don't you refuse to accept gifts if you don't advocate receiving gifts, and you still think that this is suspicious of that."
In "Lipstick Prince 2", He Jiong blew himself up and received gift troubles
The popularity of the core elders plummeted, making the already boring show worse. Among the younger generation, Zhang Zifeng, Zhang Yixing and Peng Yuchang have not shown enough sense of variety to support the reputation of the show.
The internal entertainment environment is also changing, the exposure of a cool daily salary of 2.08 million, the income of an anchor calculated in units of 100 million, and the news that a certain star holds 96 properties, step by step shattering the illusion of netizens about stars. On the one hand, the audience outside the screen is rolled in, and on the other hand, the stars on the screen are quiet, and the huge gap makes the show's years quiet and good seem quite ironic.
Through the ridicule of talk show actor Liang Haiyuan, "This show will find some stars to farm in the show." Does no star really aspire to farm well? Because if a star really aspires to farm, he can go to farming. Netizens no longer trust the idyllic dreams built for stars.
The general environment has changed, but the root cause of the complete obfuscation of "Longing for Life" is the loss of "life" and only "yearning".
The show has long been not limited to the full satisfaction of "three hours and three meals", the social field of your circle presented after the fourth season, the rules of the game of the program, as if to imply that life is looking forward to getting a bigger house, trying to get a bigger car, and grabbing more life rewards... From the satisfaction of ordinary life to the expansion of fame and materialism, the healing of slow life is gone.
Unfortunately, who remembers that the "longing life" in the first season is just a neat family, even if it is rough tea and light meals, but as long as there are fireworks under the eaves and there are three or five old friends outside the door, it is a good day worth living in the world.
