"Welcome to turn on the TV on Saturday night to watch Happy Base Camp, hello everyone, we are a happy family."
The familiar five-person trumpet sounded, and the old variety show era came to an end.
"Happy Base Camp", as the "ceiling" of the variety industry and the "Ivy League" of the ratings industry, ultimately failed to keep up with the pace of the times, and stopped broadcasting in the cold.
From the premiere in 1997 to the farewell in 2021, "Happy Base Camp" has accompanied almost two generations of youth, witnessed many stars from obscurity to popularity, and also witnessed the acquaintance process of countless celebrity couples: EXO, TFBOYS, Yang Mi Li Yifeng, Chen Sicheng Tong Liya, Zhang Jie Xiena... These people were all known from the beginning of the happy base camp.
In today's various interesting variety shows, Kuaiben is indeed becoming more and more unable to keep up with the times.
The host from the beginning of Li Xiang, He Jiong, to the later He Jiong, Wei Jia, Xie Na, and then later joined Wu Xin and Haitao, achieved a happy family of five people, and recently joined the new member Ding Chengxin to become six people, which is also changing.
Although there are people who are reluctant to stop broadcasting today, there is no shortage of applause.
After all, today's fast book has always been criticized as "whoever is red will please whom", and it is no longer the original simple fast book.
Probably few people know that at the beginning of the establishment of "Fast Book", the top pillar in the platform was not He Jiong, nor Wang Han, but Li Xiang.
In 1997, "Fast Book" was officially launched, and the program team planned to adopt a completely innovative approach, hoping that the mixed-sex partner's hosting form would add a breaking point to the program.
In the three days of interview and selection of each female host, Hunan Satellite TV still could not find a female host who met the image positioning of the program, and just when they were about to give up, Li Xiang came to interview.
Li Xiang looks pure and beautiful, young and fashionable, the interviewer asked her why she chose "Fast Book", Li Xiang generously said her views on Hunan Satellite TV and reform plan, she felt that Hunan Satellite TV's program was "too earthy", she herself was studying TV editing and directing, just here is close to home, she came to the interview.
As soon as the words were said, the investors and the program director felt that the girl had a lot of personality, so they decided to let her try it.
After becoming the host of Kuaiben, Li Xiang has always stuck to his post, but the male hosts have withdrawn for various reasons. In desperation, the program team rushed north to the major news colleges and universities to find talents.
At this time, Li Xiang took the initiative to recommend a person to the program group, this person was He Jiong, who had just graduated from college and was working on CCTV, and He Jiong was a little hesitant when Li Xiang asked him to "save the scene", because after all, he had just graduated from college, and his first job was the "iron rice bowl" of CCTV.
Seeing He Jiong's hesitation, Li Xiang only said one sentence: "Hunan Satellite TV is now reforming, seeking innovation, staying in CCTV is very stable, but if you go to Hunan Satellite TV with me, you will definitely not regret it." ”
It is this sentence that He Jiong came to Hunan Satellite TV, and no one could have imagined that such a tall male host could actually become the top pillar of this program in the future.
In 1997, all kinds of video facilities are not advanced, so kuaiben was the same as today's Spring Festival Gala, using the form of live broadcast, so that it is more test of the host people's ability to play on the spot, just began to take the stage, He Jiong was nervous to no, Li Xiang was calm and relaxed, so in the early stage, almost all of them were Li Xiang.
What is unexpected is that Li Xiang and He Jiong cooperate very tacitly, and the funny hosting style makes the audience of "Fast Book" more and more.
Li Xiang also proposed at this time that the program should not be limited to shooting the interior scene, but need to find a host to shoot the exterior scene. So He Jiong found his classmate Li Weijia, and in this way, the kuaiben iron triangle composed of Li Xiang, He Jiong, and Li Weijia quickly gained a foothold in Hunan Satellite TV, and the ratings continued to rise as the three of them worked hard.
Li Xiang has always been a very enterprising person, but the fixed entertainment model of Kuaiben has limited her development. So after careful consideration, Li Xiang decided to resign and go to Beijing to seek higher development.
The situation in the fast iron triangle was broken, the hosting style of the two male hosts was always less fun, with Li Xiang's departure, the program ratings fell sharply, and the program team urgently needed a female host.
Just like Li Xiang found He Jiong at that time, He Jiong found Xie Na, who was filming at the time, compared to Li Xiang's dignified and calm atmosphere, Xie Na was better at funny, although it often made the audience laugh, but it was still controversial.
Li Xiang's strong hosting style left an indelible impression on the audience, and countless viewers wrote letters to Hunan Satellite TV, hoping to replace Xie Na.
In order to add more possibilities to the program, Hunan Satellite TV held a talent show "Shining New Anchor" to select the champion Wu Xin and the runner-up Du Haitao.
After Wu Xin and Du Haitao joined the "Happy Family", the change of program personnel again made the positioning of "Happy Base Camp" more clear, and finally formed a trend program with distinctive characteristics.
He Jiong spreads a rational voice, Xie Na is responsible for funny, Wu Xin and Haitao add cute elements to the show, and Wei Jia is involved in all parties.
The members are united, the atmosphere of the program is interesting, and with the blessing of popular traffic stars, Kuaiben has gradually become the signature program of Hunan Satellite TV, which has been imitated by various David TV, but has never been surpassed.
As the saying goes, a gentleman who rises and dies will die.
The initial positioning of the happy base camp was "to play with the stars", it was simple, brainless, the threshold was low, the audience was happy to watch, there was no threshold, resulting in a collapse in the later stage, cheating.
Fast Ben suddenly disappeared, not because no one looked, the ratings fell, but because its focus from the beginning of the "happy" to "star", fast ben from the public to has been transformed into a fan direction, in addition to fans, no one wants to watch this kind of brainless game, He Jiong presided over the team no matter how good, but also can not bring those stars who are not interesting in themselves.
2020 and 2021 are two years of unprecedented explosion of negative news on Hunan TV. In the period before the fast book stopped broadcasting, He Jiong, Wei Jia, Xie Na, Wu Xin, and Du Haitao were exposed to black material one after another.
Du Haitao knelt down to thank the Korean star, Wu Xin resold fan gifts, Xie Na pretended to be crazy and stupid, and finally even the top liang pillar He Jiong was exposed to the gift receiving incident.
Some shows, if they can't continue, must allow it to end with dignity, just like they will always say goodbye to youth, and "Happy Base Camp" will always say goodbye to everyone.
There is no feast in the world, there is no hundred days of red, now the five members have their own development, He Jiong Xie Na is still active in the major ace variety shows of Hunan Satellite TV, Wei Jia has also transformed into a behind-the-scenes, Wu Xin has transformed into an intellectual host, only Du Haitao, there is no news.
What are your thoughts on the development of these five members?
