Assuming "Happy Camp" hadn't stopped broadcasting unexpectedly, July would have been the month of its surge in popularity.
Twenty-six years ago in this hot summer, the show IP debuted.
From obscurity to household names, the five youthful young people spent many days and nights together, becoming a must-see entertainment program for viewers every Saturday.
Originally, it was supposed to enjoy the 26th anniversary celebration banquet, but it was postponed indefinitely due to an accident.
This reality show, which has accompanied the audience for twenty-four years, has drawn an incomplete end the year before last.
The world is unpredictable, and even programs that have been on the air for more than two decades will suddenly leave the scene.
Then, the nine-year "Run Brother", if it is really permanently missing, does not seem to be so shocking.
The Thai chapter, which has not been broadcast for two weeks in a row, the remaining two episodes have been marked as postponed, and "The Voice of China" is about to be released.
After waiting week after week, since June 30, the program said that the eleventh episode would be postponed.
There was no news of updates, and even the stills of the issue were not released.
Broadcast or not, the audience also did not get a clear message.
The impact of the Cai Xukun incident was much stronger than expected.
On the surface, it may seem like news in a personal life, but when it comes to satellite television, the station's position becomes crucial.
If it airs as originally planned, it will be labeled as supporting bad artists.
But if it keeps dragging, the show's schedule will be wasted.
With the remaining two installments marked as postponed, the chances of Run Brother aren't many.
As we all know, satellite TV broadcasts are time-limited, and "Run Brother" can delay for two weeks.
But this does not prove that it can continue to be delayed, because the original plan to take over "The Voice of China" has already completed the recording.
The mentor lineup and the preview of the conference have been announced, and if the previous program is to be postponed, it will directly affect the progress of the competition.
For a selection variety show, the competition process is undoubtedly the most important.
Therefore, The Voice of China cannot be delayed for too long.
If the limit of having to go online is reached, then the possible outcome of "Run Brother" is likely to be discontinued.
It was rumored that it would be permanently suspended, and the emotions of the three old members were difficult to calm down, and the absence of baby and Zheng Kai was too unfortunate.
Cancel the last two installments directly, or maybe worse.
Problems in one season may affect the next, and the entire IP may be put on hold.
As soon as this rumor came out, most viewers found it difficult to accept.
In fact, it can be seen from the number of advertisements in the program that the IP of Run Bar is absolutely profitable.
Since it is a top-name program, unless it reaches the point where there is no way out, the TV station will not give up easily.
But the case of "Happy Camp" is also there, and the survival and demise of a variety show may exceed everyone's expectations.
If it is really stopped, the impact on new members is actually not great.
Artists like Bai Lu and Zhou Shen can also become popular by relying on their own works.
For the old members, there will definitely be some failure in their hearts.
In the bodies of baby, Zheng Kai and Li Chen, the family atmosphere of the original brotherhood exists.
Baby and Zheng Kai are a regular couple on Friday, and Li Chen is the person Baby trusts the most.
No matter what kind of game the baby participates in, Li Chen will worry and tell her to be careful.
Recalling the appearance of Zheng Kai's first issue, the baby can ridicule him without scruples that he was a skinny young man at the beginning, but now it is completely different.
Although it was six members sitting together to eat, when Baby asked if he could have another bowl.
Only Li Chen and Zheng Kai answered her question, one immediately stood up to help her serve, and the other raised his hand to signal the waiter to come over.
The tacit understanding between the old members is something that no one else can achieve anyway.
It's hard to imagine when the three of them will be able to get together again if the show really stops recording.
In particular, this season of baby did not participate in the recording because of filming, and Zheng Kai because of illness.
Originally, the Thai chapter was supposed to give everyone a perfect ending, but it turned out to be such a bad thing.
Hopefully, a miracle will happen and the dusty family glory will be restored.
To sum up, whether it is "Happy Camp" or "Run Brothers", their survival and demise are determined by various complex factors. Whether it is commercial pressure, production costs, or social environment, and the public's acceptance of the program, these will affect the survival of the program. For hosts and participating artists, the suspension of the show may have some impact, but it is not the end of their artistic career. Through their own efforts, they can continue to find better platforms to show their talents. For viewers, it may be disappointed to have their favorite shows off the air, but it is also possible to find new preferences from more new shows. In general, the survival and demise of TV shows are part of the norm in the entertainment industry, and the laughter and thinking they bring us are always worth cherishing.
