There is a saying on the Internet that "life is a big ups and downs...", and in fact, this sentence is also applicable to domestic variety shows.
In 2015, the premiere of "Run Brothers" set off a popularity frenzy, setting a ratings record, and the following year, "Extreme Challenge" was launched, which made the popularity of "Gang of Men" soar.
And these two variety shows that completely opened the door to outdoor reality shows are constantly updated, the game has no new tricks, the content lacks innovation, the main guests withdraw, the reputation is not as good as a season, the more you shoot, the worse it gets, I'm afraid the show fans will run out.
On the other hand, "Longing for Life", which made "slow variety" mainstream in 2017, is also a national-level veteran variety show, but unfortunately it is difficult to escape the "sequel curse".
The Douban score is 7.5 points in the first season, 8.0 points in the second season, and 7.3 points in the third season, and the score has not been 7 points since the fourth season, and every broadcast will always cause controversy among the audience, but based on the large number of fans and emotional filters, some people are still willing to choose to chase the update.
No, at present, "Longing for Life Season 7" (hereinafter referred to as "Longing 7") landed on Mango Channel to meet the audience, and after the broadcast, it became the first place in the popularity of the whole network, and the popularity can be imagined.
At the same time, the first wave of word-of-mouth is also freshly baked, and the audience's ratings and evaluations are to the point, and I can only say that the advantages and disadvantages of the show are clear, making people love and hate.
A decent farewell, a return to simplicity, this season is a little good to cry
The four-star and five-star praise of "Longing for 7" is mainly given to the theme and mode of the program, and some people say: "It's good to say goodbye to this season", "Like a Chinese family history", "The content of the first episode is simple, but the emotional energy is too rich", it can be seen that it is very crying.
In the past, Huang Lei and He Jiong were the roles of "Yan's father and mother", and Liu Xianhua, Peng Yuchang, and Zhang Zifeng were like three children, and now the children have grown up to break into the world, and there are two "empty nesters" left in the family, like family and life.
The beginning of this season is the lonely figure of Huang Lei and He Jiong, and the two directly tell everyone that this is the "last stop", on the one hand, Huang Lei wants to reduce the shooting of variety shows, and focus on the identity of actors in the future.
On the other hand, there is no banquet in the world, always ushered in a farewell, in fact, the audience also knows that after 7 years of the show, the taste is getting weaker and weaker, rather than lingering, it is better to stop the loss in time.
But being able to say a respectable farewell to the audience in a generous manner was still poked fiercely, and how many domestic variety shows quietly disappeared in the audience's hard waiting? "Longing for 7" is willing to give the audience an explanation, which shows that it is full of sincerity.
Of course, the memory link is indispensable, the first issue is interspersed with a large number of pictures from previous programs, Dahua recognizes his father on the spot, wants to be a son for Teacher Huang, Peng Peng and his sister are focused on eating, their mouths can't stop at all, this scene is believed to make many old fans of the show burst into tears.
"Yearning" is not so much a show carrying memories as an old friend who has accompanied the audience for many years.
In addition, after the number of guests, the show naturally returns to simplicity, Huang Lei and He Jiong have been partners for many years, full of tacit understanding, two people together to repair the roof tiles, one "go to the house to uncover the tiles", the other to move tiles applauded, the simple atmosphere of life came to the face.
After that, the two also have to make a partition in the simple room, the operation of combining the wardrobe and the wooden board is unexpected, specially hung with bells and whistles of cotton blocks, not to mention, this aesthetic is the same as the parents in reality, the sense of substitution is too strong.
It can be said that the first issue of "Longing for 7" is full of life texture, belongs to the rhythm of slow variety online, and the theme of farewell is more resonant with the audience, these aspects are still remarkable, but there are also many slots.
Suddenly become an outdoor variety show? Forcibly sensationalizing is too embarrassing
"Longing for 7" still can't avoid one-star and two-star bad reviews, and some people bluntly said: "such a hard sensational way", "too many memories kill, but it is difficult to move people", obviously there are also dissatisfactory places.
In fact, the first 1 hour of the first episode of the program is still a normal painting style, He Jiong and Huang Lei working and eating in the mushroom house is already a basic operation, which is the embodiment of the original flavor.
However, on the second day, the two drove to the place where the children were filming, because they were not close, and they had to buy gifts, which delayed more time on the way.
But the real meeting with Zhang Yixing and Zhang Zifeng was very short, which made the content a bit of a running account, quite boring, even Zhang Yixing couldn't help but ridicule "how to change an outdoor variety show".
And such a forced greeting and polite form also made the scene embarrassing for a while, several people had nothing to say, there was really nothing to see, so they had to quickly pull the progress bar, and the first issue ended so unsalty, which was a big disappointment.
At the same time, the trailer of the second phase was also released, Song Dandan, Chen He, Sha Yi joined, and with guests, they naturally had popularity, but these topics were not high.
Song Dandan has been overturned by word of mouth in other shows because of personality problems before, and he will probably not make a moth to smash his own signboard, and Sha Yi will have nothing worth complaining about. To say that these three people can arouse discussion, it seems that Chen He, who is out of the circle by "black and red".
So the program group began to do things, can see Chen He tears in the trailer mushroom house, others have to comfort themselves, they haven't been here a few times, still quite emotional?
This also made the audience complain that he was "miserable", "contrived", and "wanted to whitewash", it seems that this wave of forced sensationalism touched the audience's tears, resulting in word of mouth being affected.
Another controversial person is Liu Xianhua, a veteran-level guest, obviously in the original "Yearning" he had a good relationship with Huang Lei and He Jiong.
But since leaving, it seems that only the program fans remember his existence, even in the memory session, Teacher Huang only mentioned Zhang Yixing, Peng Peng and his sister, as if he forgot Dahua, and Teacher He still has more experience in making shows and will take the initiative to give Dahua a round.
Maybe it's because Dahua will definitely come to participate in the recording of the show this season, otherwise if he and Huang Lei have such a stiff relationship, how embarrassing will it be to meet again?
All in all, the overall advantages and disadvantages of the first episode of "Longing for 7" coexist, with the theme of farewell, adding the memory part, some people feel moved, and some people may not like the oppressive atmosphere, after all, slow synthesis should still be decompressed.
Coupled with the unreasonable design of the link, too many driving shots, and the guests of the second episode are not much expected, resulting in a lot of bad reviews, so do you think this season's show is good or not?
