"Happy Base Camp" suspended? Recently, such news has been quietly circulated on the Internet. Originally, on October 9, Hunan Satellite TV was supposed to broadcast the "Happy Base Camp" National Day special program "I am very good in other places", but in the "Rating Guide" on the official website of Hunan Satellite TV, there was no broadcast plan for "Happy Base Camp". As can be seen from the program list, the program in this period became the TV series "Good Life". As a result, the news that "Happy Base Camp" will be suspended on the Internet.
Will this 24-year-old "longevity variety show" be discontinued? On the same day, the cover news exclusive interview to the "TV Xiangjun" leader, the founder of "Happy Base Camp" Wang Bingwen, want to understand this matter, retired he still maintains his attention to Hunan Satellite TV and the tv industry, he admitted that the "base camp" has led TV people to innovate, such as suspension will be very painful.

"Longevity Variety" broadcast for 24 years
Broke the Guinness World Record
"Happy base camp, good mood every day". For many post-80s and post-90s, this slogan will certainly not be unfamiliar. On July 11, 1997, the variety show "Happy Base Camp", which had been preparing for a year, officially met with the audience, and the first program was hosted by the hosts Li Xiang and Li Bing. It was not until March 1998 that He Jiong began to host the show and became a regular host. In 1999, li Weijia, on the recommendation of He Jiong, came to "Happy Base Camp" to serve as the host of the location, and in October of the same year, Xie Na also appeared on the show.
At present, the "Happy Family" that the audience is familiar with, composed of hosts He Jiong, Li Weijia, Xie Na, Du Haitao and Wu Xin, was probably formed in 2006. At the time, Du Haitao and Wu Xin were involved in the talent show "Shining New Anchor", which was held to find a new host for "Happy Base Camp", and its format was similar to "Super Girl". As a result, Du Haitao and Wu Xin, who won the championship and runner-up in the program, became the fixed hosts of "Fast Ben".
The first episode of "Happy Base Camp"
All the way through 24 years, whether it is the program itself or the host team "Happy Family", it has become a household name in China. In July 2017, the 811th episode of "Happy Base Camp" won the Guinness Book of World Records for the "most watched variety show episode (recorded by live audience)" with 48692200 number of viewers. The members of the "Happy Family", with the popularity and exposure in the show, have also won countless fans, and the five have also released the album "Happy You Know" together.
However, in recent years, the rise of online video platforms, coupled with the frequent appearance of major variety shows, this long-lived variety show is also slightly "tired". In order to innovate, the show is also introducing new people. In August 2021, Ding Chengxin, a member of the Official Announcement Times Youth League, joined the "Happy Family". Previously, actor Zhang Yuqi also hosted the "Happy Base Camp" for a period of time. For many people, today's base camp to watch, perhaps more than the show, is more of a feeling.
Under the slight "fatigue" of the show, the relevant members of the "Happy Family" have also caused some controversy. After the previous "gift receiving" storm was exposed, Hunan Satellite TV issued an official statement, stating that it resolutely opposed the improper behavior of the host, actors and guests accepting gifts from fans, and launched a comprehensive investigation, if there is any verification, it will be dealt with in accordance with regulations.
Wang Bingwen, founder of "Happy Base Camp", responded exclusively
Programs drive TV people to innovate It would be a pity if the broadcast was stopped
As a 24-year-old variety show, "Happy Base Camp" has experienced ups and downs, accompanying too many people's youth. How will the founders view the "changes" of the show today? On October 9, the cover news reporter exclusively interviewed Wang Bingwen, the leader of the "TV Xiangjun", the founder of Hunan Satellite TV's "Happy Base Camp", the former deputy director of Hunan Television station and a famous producer. Wang Bingwen, who retired from Hunan Satellite TV in 2011, now occasionally attends classes at the Communication University of China, but he still pays attention to Hunan Satellite TV and the development of the television industry.
Wang Bingwen's life is full of legends. He was a driver for Hunan Television and later became a television director. He made the unknown Li Xiang and He Jiong into national stars. He Jiong once said with a sigh: "Without Wang Bingwen, I probably wouldn't have me today!" Together with Wei Wenbin and Ouyang Changlin, he was also named the "Three Musketeers of China's Television Industry" by the entertainment industry.
In 1997, when "Happy Base Camp" was launched, the reporter went to the scene to interview. Since then, the reporter has also interviewed Wang Bingwen about his retirement in 2011 and the trend of "North Drift". Therefore, when the doubts about the suspension of broadcasting were reported in the base camp, the cover news reporter contacted Wang Bingwen for the first time. As soon as the phone was picked up, the cover reporter first asked the base camp to stop broadcasting tonight, and Wang Bingwen responded, "It should be." The reporter mentioned that there is no longer any program preview today, and Wang Bingwen said, "Then there is none." Although Wang Bingwen, who has been retired for about twenty years, does not say much about where "Happy Base Camp" will eventually go. But as the show's founder, he has a vivid memory of his past and behind-the-scenes stories at home.
Although 24 years have passed, Wang Bingwen can still clearly remember the first episode of "Happy Base Camp" on July 11, 1997, "the hosts at that time were Li Xiang and Li Bing, when I was the chief producer, I was in my 40s." Why did he dare to use Li Xiang, who was only 21 years old at the time? Wang Bingwen's answer can also glimpse the dare of Hunan Radio and Television people to think and dare to do, "or want to use some new people, there is no rule and regulation constraint." At that time, the TV program, most of the above performances below the applause, there is not much novelty, in Wang Bingwen's view, "Happy Base Camp" led an innovation, representing the spirit of the TV Xiangjun, more actively led to the participation of the people, "The key is that it has driven this innovation of TV people, this kind of innovation of the program, this aesthetic, but also led to the active participation of the audience." ”
Wang Bingwen recalled that the base camp has done a lot of interesting programs in the past and assumed responsibility for the society, "In fact, the establishment of the base camp is still for the people (service), like the special programs we did before, such as the special programs we did before, 'We will not forget' and other special programs, in the past or made great contributions." As for the difference between the past and the current program, he also said bluntly that in the past, the program did a lot of civilian heroes, and now there are more elements of stars.
In the exclusive interview with Wang Bingwen on the cover news, I did not know the response of Hunan Satellite TV. When the reporter asked, if the program really stopped broadcasting, as the "founder" who single-handedly built the program, how did he feel in his heart? Wang Bingwen said frankly, "I can only say that I feel heartache, very sad, very sorry." Emotionally I still can't stand it. ”
Hunan Satellite TV responded
Fortunately, since then, in the latest response of Hunan Satellite TV, it said that it will "use the slogan of "Youth China" and Hunan Satellite TV will innovate and upgrade." At the same time, the article also announced the fourth quarter program list of Hunan Satellite TV, of which "Happy Base Camp" is still listed. The article reads: "Saturday night's golden file "Happy Base Camp" was upgraded and replaced, focusing on innovation, and creating a new theme of positive and healthy, value-oriented, and more popular with high-quality variety shows. In this way, this longevity variety show will continue to accompany everyone, and this also gives many viewers and industry insiders who care about this show more expectations.
