9.6 points all-female wild reality show, when can the national comprehensive be like this?

When it comes to "pure female" variety shows, what kinds of routines do you think of?

Is it old age can also be beautiful, or tearing the head fancy.

Or in the classic question of "how to balance work and family", the false heroine of "grasping with both hands" is staged.

Before we saw "Kraken's Call: Island of Fire Survival Battle", we also thought that this was just another hot spot.

But in the first episode alone, the program team did not intend to sensationalize at all, and the tears were like a faucet that could not be stopped.

After watching ten episodes, even if it is the current high score of 9.6 on Douban, I still don't feel enough.

Well, you have to admit, Han Zhen is already at the next level.

The key words of the show are "women", "competition" and "survival".

Among the similar themes that Netflix has collaborated on in the past, it is not new, and you can even guess a rough idea just by listening to the name and introduction.

In the later interview, the mystery was revealed - it was the amateur guests of the all-female team, and their super energy and charm made everything beyond the preset.

Even if the staff handed over the shift, they were reluctant to leave the monitor.

Broken windows, dry racks, hand-to-hand combat:

Smooth gesture signals in base stations:

Use the cross in minute during hand-to-hand combat:

Bold and careful attacks and ambushes on rainy nights:

You will find that the unrestrained confrontation, brute force and clamor in such variety shows in the past have been replaced by a relaxed and natural sense of rhythm.

This is an all-round grasp of professionalism and charisma, allowing the stereotyped setting to be thoroughly brought to the fly.

The program group invited 24 female guests, divided into six groups according to occupation.

There are soldiers, firefighters, guards, stuntmen, police officers, sports players.

It goes without saying that they are all in the top 0.01% of their industry.

The military team includes anti-terrorist special forces, airborne units and demolition crews.

Among the athletes are judo national players, who have won bronze medals at the World Championships and gold medals at the Asian Games.

The captain of the guard team is the first female member of the presidential guard office and has served three terms as South Korea's president.

The rules of the show are also very crisp.

Seven days of isolated islands, distributed with six bases.

Each group spends 30 minutes a day hiding flags at the base.

Wait for alerts and start offensive and defensive battles that start randomly once a day.

Pulling out the small flag behind the members means that the contestants stop participating in this battle.

Pulling down the banner in the base means that the occupation is successful.

In this way, every day a group is eliminated, and the one who finally occupies all the bases is the champion.

"Island of Fire" almost "deliberately" abandoned Han Jiao's routine.

There are no lengthy background introductions and character information, or overly skilled editing and variety show conflicts.

Of course, it also abandons the mundane routine of not saying a word about the contestant's age, marital status, mate orientation, and family information.

Women in the male workplace are not easy, how to balance family, how to balance beauty and masculinity...

None of the above.

No one mentioned anything other than the profession, did not describe any preconceived plight of women.

They are so natural and complete that they just focus on what they believe they are.

In the character introduction clip, the firefighter says to himself, "We are from hell", carrying 80 kilograms of water pipes in and out of the fire every day.

The guards and the murderer looked at each other, thinking "I can win you".

And once the alarm is sounded, they are like wild animals, quickly entering the state.

In the first base station, both the spectators and the players were unfamiliar with each other.

With a 360-degree sounding roundabout, fog rose just in time.

Temperate orchestral music replaces variety sounds, and whenever someone is eliminated, cold-blooded female voices will broadcast around the island.

It's like you're watching a live-action version of The Hunger Games.

Without explanation, you can quickly get into the state.

They put their expertise on full display.

The soldiers are good at night combat, quickly arranging formations, taking turns to guard, and blocking the doors and windows of the base.

Special forces patrol to listen to the location of the voice.

The police develop their reasoning instincts to quickly grasp the location of the terrain and the characteristics of the opponent.

Firefighters can rely on professional knowledge to instantly reverse the battle situation under the extreme disadvantage of 1v2.

In the compact and concise team battles, tactics that are more exciting than the script are staged one after another.

Even God is helping.

Heavy rain, roars that have been dormant for a long time, lightning and sharp whistles.

It's hard to imagine an all-female competitive show that sees terrain attacks, jungle ambushes, trap attacks, alliance defections, and hand-to-hand combat.

The adjectives that don't often appear in women's descriptions, they have all the natural possession—strength, brain, keen detective instinct, and alliance righteousness.

After the military group decided to attack the fire team base, their platoon was in one go.

The first time, scouts infiltrated to confirm the location of the flag hiding and were tied to a tree.

The second time, the two stepped on the spot and planted an axe near the house, intending to cut down the tree directly.

The third time he re-investigates to obtain information and confirm the identity of the other party's wounded.

There is no place to waste the pen, pulling the tension on the eve of the war to the fullest.

And once the team battle officially started, the scene was even more intertwined.

In the case of the base of the cast group being besieged, almost defeat is decided.

We watched as the climbers instantly climbed to the roof, ready to capture the flag at the end.

And the stuntman who resisted one person was entrenched in a high place, as long as he was close, he killed three people in an instant.

Just as the one-to-many situation was deadlocked, the help of the alliance arrived.

But helplessly, the judo national hand stood at the door, and the husband was in charge.

While moving her neck slightly, she asked the visitor very gently: "Do you want to fight?" ”

A gentle but vigorous murderous aura slowly rose. 

At this point, a barrage will float: "Warm reminder, you can breathe".

The group portraits of women presented in the "Island of Fire" program are three-dimensional and fresh enough to go beyond variety shows, scripts, and fights and kills.

Under their various labels, they are a group of free people.

The fire team is like the protagonist of the hot-blooded boy comic.

The captain decided the alliance in an instant when he met his opponent in a narrow way, and took a big stride to show the flag on his back to the opponent to express his silent sincerity.

The burliest members of the group choked up and wept on the field, while saying cruel words, and furiously chopped 30 wooden stakes.

The military group is an ambitious monster that was eliminated yesterday and resurrected today.

The more disadvantaged he was, the more he laughed excitedly.

You seem to be able to see through everyone's every move as she brutally polished herself along the way.

Also another possibility.

It can be cunning, narrow-minded, ambitious, maniacal, strategic, leadership, any kind of adjective that goes beyond the norm.

They are murderous but not violent, domineering but not assertive, confident but not conceited.

You don't feel the anger of suppression and conquest, only the pleasure of concentration, and this magic makes a very simple truth come out.

It turns out that the definition of "person" does not rely on any template.

In fact, with its synopsis and overly fancy names, it's easy to fall into another "female supremacy" stereotype.

With the "Mulan"-style dilemma, it still caters to the same set of reference standards.

But in the process of watching, this doubt will gradually disappear.

In the show, several competitions are set up, and these projects cannot be said to have a certain metaphorical meaning.

After a long run of a kilometer mud pool, after reaching the end, he immediately returned with a 60-kilogram flag.

Make your own fire, extinguish it with a hose, and let it rekindle.

The loser's repechage is like Sisyphus, pushing hundreds of kilograms of large stones.

These games are not confrontational, but more like "useless work" to wear down and hit people.

It's like an invisible hand grabbing people falling, constantly telling them that they are comfortable as long as they stop, and there is not even a specific opponent in front of them.

Therefore, in these competitions, it is more rare to refer to their state than to sigh about a specific skill.

It turns out that the strength in front of you does not rely on natural physical strength and sexual characteristics as a bargaining chip.

Instead, after experiencing 100% denial, we use 200% full reflection to tell ourselves: We always have a way to make a positive breakthrough.

In the face of adversity and failure, you will find that the most common thing you hear on the show is that they whispered to cheer themselves up and cheer them up.

It is also possible to weakly hide in the arms of teammates and cry after a fiasco.

The popularity of "Island of Fire" is not only a physical display.

It is to fully know yourself, acknowledge weaknesses and then become a free "person".

There is a huge humanism in this, so the ten episodes are not sensational, but there is always something unspeakable that makes people want to cry.

Before the battle began, a soldier said something that impressed me deeply, and she muttered to herself: "Come on, awaken the instinct in your body." ”

So, what exactly is instinct?

This question is also the most valuable part of the whole show.

When we don't show the gender dilemma, we don't emphasize weakness, and we don't set standards.

How to find your own "language" without a frame of reference, declare war on exploitation packaged as discipline, and create a bloody path between "me" and "be her".

These contestants gave the best answer.

At the end of the show, a firefighter put it this way:

"I am a frog at the bottom of the well and have only worked in a fire department, but there are so many masters in the world, there are so many handsome women, I have a lot to learn, and I am happy."

There is the recognition of "the world is big and I am small", as well as the sense of stability after finding the coordinates, and more powerful empathy.

Whether this complexity is the trait that all women bring to variety shows is inconclusive.

But what is certain is that in the context of domestic variety shows, we need to see more and more such diverse expressions.
