Since the late music queen Li Min's record was exposed in July, variety shows have been targeted.
With the development of things, a black history of variety shows gradually began to unfold in front of everyone.
These dark methods of frantically amassing wealth and suppressing dissidents were exposed one by one.
There will be six programs below, namely "The Voice of China", "Happy Camp", "Venus Show", "Chase Me", "Where Is Dad Going", and "Run"
For a while, public opinion about variety shows began to boil.
At this time, people found out that the once popular program had been discontinued.
The truth behind it can be food for thought.
The Voice of China
As a vocal talent show, its model is completely derived from the American talent show "Star TV".
The blind draft rules of mentors are very novel in an era when the draft is already weak.
In particular, the original interpretation of this rule was to ensure the fairness of the competition, which made the instructor pay more attention to the voice and singing ability of the players.
As a result, the show was quickly welcomed as soon as it was launched.
Of course, while the show is popular, there is also controversy in the program.
In the first season, contestant Xu Haixing returned after defeating his mentor with his singing skills.
During the exchange with the mentor, the father cried and told the mentor that he had died three months earlier.
Such an unfortunate experience made the mentor cry on the spot. In order to realize his father's dream, he decided to join Liu Huan's team.
It was touching at first, but soon after, netizens exposed Xu Haixing's experience.
In another talent show she has already participated in, she emotionally tells the story of the death of Xu Haixing and her father.
Then the audience's attitude towards her changed 180 degrees.
Everyone started hating players who failed in the draft.
It's this reality of The Voice that has made it so popular since its launch in 2012.
But recordings that have surfaced suggest that most of these themes were intentionally created.
Investors and production teams have long maintained unfair relationships for their own benefit.
Singer Eason Chan also said in an interview:
When he is on the show, even if he doesn't like the contestants, the program group asks him to turn around.
In this drama, Jay Chou and Yu Chengqing both have to obey the arrangements of the director team.
For participants who join the show, the program team even gives a clear price if they want to advance to a higher ranking.
With more and more revelations, the voice of public opinion is also getting louder. Finally, on August 25, Zhejiang Satellite TV's social account announced the suspension of the program.
While it's unclear whether the suspension is temporary or permanent, it means that the project, which has created countless brilliant things, has fallen off the altar.
Happy Base Camp
As the childhood memory of countless people, this show is known as the most classic and longest-running variety show.
At that time, Hunan Satellite TV launched a variety show in which stars interacted with guests. Due to the vividness and innovation of the program, it was quickly loved by the audience.
During the hottest period of "Happy Camp", almost all viewers in the country watched Hunan Satellite TV on Saturday night.
Due to such fame, "Happy Camp" once became the flagship program of Hunan Satellite TV, and the host He Jiong also became the mainstay of Hunan Satellite TV.
Despite such a glorious past, Happy Camp has caused countless controversies.
The biggest controversy was the "support gift" incident caused by five hosts accepting expensive gifts from fans.
This incident also collapsed the image of the leader He Jiong, who has always been loved and respected by the audience.
Because:
During the filming of the show, He Jiong complained that the visiting fans in the show gave too many gifts, and he didn't know how to deal with them.
However, netizens soon revealed that when celebrities participated in "Happy Camp", their fan association would organize fans to raise funds and buy gifts for the program staff.
There are also various restrictions. Milk tea can only be purchased in one cup at specific milk tea shops.
A fan once signed up for an account. 80 servings of milk tea cost as much as 8500 yuan.
Subsequently, an insider revealed that this is not only a milk tea shop, but also a "certain restaurant" where fans buy accompanying meals, which is inextricably linked with the program staff.
Some netizens have compiled a list of gifts from fans to the manager, which includes not only various luxury goods, but also gold bars.
The money was raised through fan crowdfunding.
After this incident was exposed, the reputation of "Happy Camp" continued to decline, and the "support gift" also attracted the attention of relevant departments.
Finally, in 2021, the show officially announced that it would not be broadcast, and the mystery of 24 years of fame ended.
Han Jiong himself returned to the Hunan Satellite TV stage with "Hello Saturday" after several weeks of restoration.
The Venus Show
As the most famous personal talk show in China, Jin Xing brings a lot of joy and thinking to people with his rich life experience and sharp words.
Among them, viewers liked her comments on popular phenomena and events the most.
In particular, the "orange juice" joke, which mocked the flight attendants' adoration of foreigners, became the most popular meme at that time.
Venus's acumen is not only related to life affairs, but also to her understanding of the entertainment industry.
She once broke the news of the famous "man without heart and lungs" incident in the entertainment industry, which triggered endless speculation.
Although we know that people in the entertainment industry obviously ignore the moral constraints of status and means, when Venus talks about it, it is still embarrassing.
In the show, Venus not only exposed the negative information of the stars, but also exposed many stories questioned in the industry.
As early as a few years ago, she severely criticized the internal chaos of Zhejiang Satellite TV, accusing Hua Shao of grabbing Shen Nan's anchor position.
But just when viewers were worried about Venus' personal safety, "The Venus Show" was suspended without warning in 2019.
As for the reason for the suspension of broadcasting, Jin Xing himself only said one sentence on social platforms:
"Louder than words."
Chase me
Many viewers may not have heard of the name of this drama, but in 2019, this drama was criticized by netizens and appeared on the hot search list.
The reason is life.
It is also an eternal pain in the hearts of the audience.
The filming location of the play invited many popular stars in the entertainment industry at that time, including actor Gao Yixiang.
When he received the invitation to this show, Gao Yixiang probably did not expect that this would be the end of his life.
On the day of the incident, some netizens posted the news of someone's sudden death during the performance on social platforms.
But the audience thought it was busy.
But when someone photographed Gao Yixiang being taken away by ambulance, the audience woke up.
But after this tragedy, someone rebuilt what happened.
After the intense filming, the program group invited guests to exercise until late at night.
This directly led to Gao Yixiang's illness.
But when Gao Yixiang fell to the ground, the staff at the scene did not rescue him in time.
Until another guest warned me that something was wrong with Gao Yixiang.
Only at this time did the best rescue opportunity be delayed.
Later, someone did an investigation and found that the program team did not prepare any hygiene measures in such a closed workplace.
Moreover, after the incident, the program team also wanted to cover up the facts and constantly find excuses for their actions on the Internet.
This made netizens very angry, and even more dissatisfied with the handling of Gao Yixiang's death.
It was because of this series of life-threatening surgeries that the show was canceled after one episode aired.
To some extent, this incident has aroused the attention of other exhibitions to the safety of staff and guests.
Where does Dad go?
As soon as this show was broadcast, it triggered an increase in parents who took their children to watch variety shows.
The broadcast of the first season also brought tourism to the local area.
The combination of big stars and cute babies makes the show full of freshness from the beginning. In particular, the innocent performance of the cute children brought a different kind of joy to the audience.
But because the audience is tired of this kind of show, from the second season, the producers deliberately created a theme for the ratings.
Especially in the fourth season, when an adult male star was asked to take care of an amateur girl, someone began to exaggerate the "father-daughter" CP for the sake of topicality.
This immediately aroused the opposition of many people in the children's education industry.
When the amateur said to the male star of the show:
"I want to marry you"
The program team not only did not give the correct guidance, but even took it as a marketing theme in the later stage.
Subsequently, some netizens pointed out that the physical contact between girls and stars in the show crossed the line, which would bring wrong guidance to children's sex education.
In the long run, it will give children the wrong concept of gender.
However, these did not attract the attention of the programming team. It wasn't until 2019 that the show was completely canceled due to audience boredom.
Run
If anyone had to take stock of the most-watched black shows in recent months, it would be "Run."
In this show, the program team directly used the technology of real people missing to completely eliminate the guests who had just collapsed their houses.
This also allows the audience to intuitively feel the magic of TV production.
Netizens reveal the reason for the disappearance:
Host Cai Xukun had a one-night stand with a female fan two years ago
A few months later, the girl found out she was pregnant and wanted to contact Cai Xukun to arrange it.
But Cai Xukun's first reaction was that the girl immediately went to the hospital for an abortion.
Not only that, Cai Xukun's mother also harassed the girl about compensation.
A surveillance camera was installed in front of the girl's house to monitor her life, and private investigators were hired to follow the girl and threaten her.
The girl couldn't stand it anymore and called the police.
In the face of such revelations, Cai Xukunfang did not immediately intervene to clarify.
Instead, they decided to pay for a PR firm to suppress public opinion.
But what I didn't expect was that netizens were already disgusted by the routine celebrity public relations operations.
As public opinion continued to boil, netizens also launched a fierce debate about his host "Run".
After several decisions, the program team decided to temporarily suspend the broadcast to reduce the negative impact of the last episode.
This also aroused the curiosity of the audience, and they started a game of "finding mistakes" in the play.
Although this treatment makes this show look a little strange.
However, this also created the myth of alternating ratings of the show.
At last
The original intention of variety shows is to entertain the audience, but for the sake of traffic, they do not hesitate to maliciously guide editorials and guide public opinion. As a result, their reputation disappeared in a barrage of negative reviews.
It is hoped that future variety shows can create high-quality entertainment products with a long-term vision and promote the more active development of the mainland's cultural industry.
