When Ma Dong announced the format of the second stage of the second season of the comedy competition, all the actors of the comedy team were in an uproar. This stage is called the 1V1PK Tournament with You Without Me, to put it bluntly, it is two squads fighting against each other, the last one advances, and one is directly eliminated. That is to say, when this round is over, the number of participating teams is directly cut in half. Of course, there is another count of the resurrection.
In fact, the talk show has always been a similar format, but relatively speaking, the format before the annual comedy competition is still relatively mild. Take the first season, for example, after the qualifying match, all the comedy teams are grouped under the three presidents and form a club. In the later stage, the three societies are constantly dueling. However, the number of elimination places at that time was ridiculously small, and by the end of the show, a total of 6 people were eliminated, and 1 person was resurrected. Such an elimination force makes people unable to see the cruelty of the game. That is to say, after the qualifying competition, most actors can perform until the show is completed.
In this comparison, is the format of the second season much more cruel? This is only the fourth issue, the well-loved teacher squad, the non-stop hoof squad completely left the show. And when this stage is over, more popular squads will leave.
The program team made such a format adjustment, did they think that last year's format was too unexciting? Perhaps, by making the game look more intense, the show can be more effective and watchable.
This is certainly one of the reasons, but to be honest, although this format looks cruel, from another point of view, it gives the actors the greatest respect.
How do you say that?
Let's start with a detail. After the qualifying match, Ma Dong brought the four presidents to meet the actors backstage, he comforted the eliminated squad, and then the conversation turned around and announced a news - all the eliminated squads can continue to stay in the program team after that, can participate in the choreography, can assist in the performance, and can continue to rub the canteen of Miwei.
The audience was jubilant.
However, this scene seems to be happy, but these eliminated actors, to put it bluntly, are not miscellaneous tricks? You know, when they participated in qualifying before, they were a complete team that decided on their own.
Of course, the eliminated squad could not ask for more, after all, according to the traditional rules, they should have left, and it is already good for them to stay. So, in order to continue to analyze this problem, we may wish to take an example of a performance god in the first season.
In the first season, there was a master of the drama industry who came to participate in the show, and won a full house in his first appearance, and he and his partners performed "Sanmao Defense War", which must be burdened, performed, structured, and cannot be faulted. After seeing this work, many people thought that he would win the championship.
This person is Zong Juntao.
Zong Juntao is Lai Shengchuan's top actor with profound acting skills. His coming to the comedy competition is a complete dimensionality reduction blow to other actors. But Zong Juntao's overall performance in the first season can be described as high and low. After completing a work with a perfect score, Zong Juntao never came up with the same level of masterpieces, on the contrary, his subsequent works were not as good as one, and the evaluation given to him by the president was getting lower and lower.
In fact, Zong Juntao's schedule is very full, and he simply does not have time to participate in this show wholeheartedly. Therefore, the most embarrassing and helpless scene appeared - in many works, Zong Juntao is a supporting role, even a dragon tao, and he, as the captain of the thirteenth generation of grandmasters, is willing to be a green leaf and sets off other actors well. But Zong Juntao never played a pure protagonist in the show again.
What's the problem? In addition to the reason for his schedule, the most fundamental factor is the format - community battle.
After qualifying, all the comedy squads were torn apart from each other while joining the president. In other words, in many works, the comedy squad is no longer a subject. For example, Wang Hao Shice was originally a pair, but after joining the three-board big axe, they participated in collective performances many times and became supporting roles.
Of course, there are benefits to community wars, after all, comedy is grinded, and everyone brainstorms together to produce a good book. But the problem is that such collective works dissolve the characteristics of individual actors to the greatest extent. Look at Huang Bo's team, Wang Zi, Wu Liuqi and other actors with independent characteristics, drowned in the crowd, completely reduced to prop people, perhaps this can reflect their collective consciousness and cooperation spirit, but their own charm is completely covered.
Zong Juntao is the biggest victim of the club format. Later in the show, his presence is almost zero. As soon as he took the stage, he either played or substituted, in short, his ability could not be played to the extreme, and even three percent could not be played. Instead of playing in the team like this, it is better to keep the previous small team, and have been performing and creating as the main creator, winning and promotion, and losing to elimination.
And this is exactly the pattern presented by the second season of PK competition.
PK competition, all comedy teams have the possibility of early elimination, but so what? For example, the teacher is a good team, and when they go, they go and go, but they always maintain the three-person construction of Liu Yang, Song Tianshuo, and Yuwen Qiushi, and perform tacitly. The creation of the text and the grasp of the theme are all up to Liu Yang. In short, this squad has been a whole from participation to elimination.
In fact, Zong Juntao in the first season, although he was not eliminated until the end of the show, what is the essential difference between him and the person who was eliminated in the qualifying competition in the second season but can still rub the rice canteen?
The game is cruel, and if it is not cruel, it is not called a game. For the contestants, the greatest respect is not to let them stay on the stage all the time, but to let them normally integrate into the winning and losing format, go forward when they win, and leave with their heads held high when they lose.
It's as simple as that.
