In the past two years, sports variety shows have exploded all over the world.
"Top of Physical Fitness: 100 People Challenge", a life-and-death duel between the 100 strongest men and women in South Korea.
There is a static mermaid line vest line, and a large refrigerator with double doors.
There are also dynamic flesh hedges, fist-to-flesh.
"Call of the Siren: Fire Island Survival Battle", 24 women, survival in the wilderness.
It's not about using women as a gimmick, but about breaking professional biases and challenging physical limits.
Hormones and dopamine coexist, which is eye-catching and exciting.
Finally, the wind of survival competition variety shows has also blown to domestic entertainment.
It's not a clumsy imitation of cats and tigers, it's a hardcore output that has been precipitated for four years.
Director Yan Min, "Extreme Challenge", "Rap New Generation" and other high-scoring national comprehensives are all from him.
The guests are almost all amateurs, but they are not ordinary people, but all kinds of world champions and kings of various troops.
Everyone is the absolute king of their own field, and this gathering, sparks are flying.
The MC (host) is kung fu superstar Donnie Yen, and the art director is Gao Ang ("The Wandering Earth 2" Mei Finger).
Expectations are full.
"I can 47"
Crush Over 2023
2023.10.21
Overall Champion
There is no doubt that the soul of variety shows is the guests.
The guests of the survival competition variety show have to be one in a million.
The casting of "I Can 47" was extremely enthusiastic as soon as it came up, not looking at the traffic coffee position, but insisting on three criteria-
"Whether or not they have won the special sports championship in Asia and above;
whether a world record is held;
Whether it is certified by a professional body such as special forces. ”
Those who fish in troubled waters, those who rub the heat, are out first.
Among the players, Li Jingliang is one of them.
UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight, No. 1 in Asia for active wins.
But one of his out-of-the-circle is that he and Xu Zhiyuan are half-naked in "Thirteen Invitations".
Some people also call him "Brother Gazi", because he is really similar to Gazi in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga".
The seventh season of "Thirteen Invitations".
Except for Li Jingliang, everyone else also has their own halos.
Rio Olympic taekwondo champion Zheng Shuyin, 2023 Spartan Warrior Elite champion Xu Fuli.
Women's freestyle world champion Zhang Yuhan, world acrobatic Grand Slam winner Xing Yunwei.
There are also retired armed police Cheetah commandos, marines, army scouts, firefighter fighters.
There are also strong man farmers, college students on summer vacation, bodybuilding champions, pole dancers, and hip-hop champions from idols.
The contestants are both male and female, and their ages and tonnages vary.
College students who are 18 years old and want to have a happy summer vacation.
As old as 47 years old, Wu Chunying, a pig hercules farmer axe brother.
Guinness World Record holder for three consecutive jump ropes
They are not only leaders in all walks of life, but also rare variety show "real people".
Dare to fight for it, dare to say no.
In the process of choosing their own rankings, they are not humble to each other, but they all want to compete for the first place, and the competitive spirit is nothing more than that.
In the selection stage, if you encounter an inappropriate teammate, you can directly refuse.
It's not that I don't understand the world, but I firmly know what I want.
is an amateur, but also a "living person".
"Infinite Stream" climbing
What is a strong person?
The self-victorious is strong, the unremitting is strong, and the fearless is strong.
The setting of "I Can 47" is similar to the end of the world, and the promotional video also pays tribute to "The Wandering Earth".
The Medal of the Mighty can be exchanged for a ticket to board the Infinity Ark.
Embark on a 21-day, 7-round trial journey of extreme distress.
The yellow sand is all over the sky, the pure white vests, each with tendon meat, and a full score of cinematic sense.
Without further ado, the first round of qualifying, one-man combat.
Rock climbing on the climbing belt.
The rules are simple, and the contestants climb continuously on a climbing belt with a vertical height of 8 meters.
Falling below the baseline is a failure, and falling into the water is elimination.
What's even more exciting.
The speed and angle of inclination of the climbing belt change over time.
The speed can be up to 20 m/min and the tilt angle can be up to minus 9 degrees.
Therefore, this is not a competitive show with simple physical confrontation, and the large base is not the biggest advantage, hexagonal warriors are scarce.
For example, Brother Axe, 115 kg, ranks first in overall weight, and can pull large trucks.
But on the wall, it was the first group of people to fall into the water.
For some players, fear is also one of the difficulties.
For example, Feng Li, the women's champion of the Chinese Street Fitness Championship.
She was afraid of water and heights, and she screamed for a long time before going on the field.
But when it really came to the wall, she insisted on it longer than many boys, and the contrast was full.
Everyone has their own opponent in their hearts, and it is okay to fall, but it is longer than the opponent to hold on.
The veterans looked at their comrades in other units and tried their best not to let themselves fall first.
It's okay to lose, it's okay to lose to the brother troops, no
There are also male players who can't lose to girls.
Pu Zhenghua, a scout soldier of a brigade of the army in the first group, jumped off by himself because there was no opponent on the wall.
But when he jumped down, he found that there were two people on the other wall who were holding on.
The Scout lost on reconnaissance
At first, the test is arm strength, but the later it is, the more you test, the more willpower is tested.
And the first group that lasted the longest was acrobatic brother Xing Yunwei.
It was only after the collection that I learned that when acrobats usually trained, part of the training was forearm strength.
Standing upside down on the side of the bench with a handbag, it takes four or five hours to practice.
Simple training was repeated thousands of times to get to where it is today.
I also know that a world acrobatic slam player like Xing Yunwei has an actual salary of only a few thousand yuan per month, and there will be a commission when the performance is long.
Among the girls, the one who has persisted the longest is the women's freestyle Olympic champion Zhang Yuhan.
She fought hard in the women's 4x200m freestyle relay final at the 2018 Hangzhou Short Course Swimming World Championships to catch up with the first place.
Perseverance and perseverance are the most direct qualities of an Olympic champion.
This time she finished seventh in the overall ranking.
But none of them can beat the real professional players, Qu Haibin, the annual champion of the Chinese Rock Climbing League.
He can hook himself up with each finger to do pull-ups, and such walls are a piece of cake for him.
But after all the players fell overboard, he did not give up, but chose to compete with himself.
Some people compare themselves to others, and some people compare themselves to themselves.
In the end, he held on to 30 minutes and 30 seconds on the climbing wall, nearly 18 minutes ahead of the second place.
Of course, if you've watched his training videos, you know that he deserves such a result.

A game of chess for giants
Before the start of the second level, the team was formed.
47 contestants, forming 6 teams, with the top six of the first level as the captains.
When selecting people, power players are the most popular, individual champions are laughingly called "thin dogs", and Tsinghua students are also disliked.
But after the rules for the second level were announced, everyone was dumbfounded.
Because this level requires not only strength, but also strategy.
Most importantly, you have to be able to play chess!
Playing chess in variety shows, the last time I saw it was "The Strongest Brain".
For a while, the ark was lively.
There are those who test each other's chess depths, those who deliberately say some false news to disturb each other's minds, and those who go around collecting information to find easter eggs.
After all, everyone is a stinky chess basket, and some teams have foreigners, so a chess instructor is arranged on the ark.
Of course, whoever finds it is luck.
It is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
It wasn't until the eve of the tournament that the rules were announced: rapid chess.
That is, the Chinese Chess Giant Edition.
Chinese chess with a single chess piece starting from 150kg+ requires ordinary people to hug four people to lift, which is really shocking.
Each team has a total of ten chess pieces, and if the chess pieces are captured, the player bound to the chess piece is eliminated.
A complete set of rules for playing chess is more complex.
One side enters the command in the command system, and then moves the chess pieces, and after the chess pieces land, someone needs to climb the city wall to the specified place and shoot the timer button to end the instant of the side.
That is, someone needs to play chess, someone moves chess, and someone climbs rocks.
The slightest mistake will lead to a foul and time will be deducted.
In this level, you can see the "strategy" of the coach and the "bravery" of your teammates.
Between the extreme use of brain and physical strength, the team began to cohesion.
But from this level, you have to face brutal elimination.
I can
Frankly speaking, in the past two years, entertainment variety shows have been too "lying", slow variety shows have become popular, and the years are quiet.
Watching celebrities make money while playing, which is easy to make people blush.
But the guests of "I Can 47" make money, which really doesn't make people jealous at all.
The director is also very bold.
Amateur programs have no traffic, and physical fitness programs have no reference.
But he still built a real ark world in Hengdian with a lot of money, and it seems that all the money saved from "Extreme Challenge" was used here.
The director also knows what everyone likes to watch, and as soon as he comes up, he changes his clothes.
A good figure is to show off generously.
There are also many reversals in the show that can't be written in the script.
For example, Zhang Xindong, the second place in the rock climbing competition, automatically became the captain, because of his own personality, he faced the female team members in front of him in the selection process, it was difficult to refuse, and finally applied to remove the captain.
Then the reversal came.
The seventh place in the order is the captain, and the seventh place is the girl Zhang Yuhan in front of him.
There is also the ultimate challenge to the body in training.
Bodybuilding blogger Shen Yajie bench press 20kg in the challenge link and did 122!
Because at the time of the initial selection, she was left because of her status as a "bodybuilding blogger".
She proved with practical actions that bodybuilding bloggers may be at the bottom of the food chain, but Shen Yajie is definitely not.
In the show, such bloody moments are staged minute by minute.
Endorphins produced by exercise also continue to affect us outside the camera.
Looking back at the program logo of "I Can 47", it is a horizontal 4 and a 7 starting pen together.
It looks like an hourglass vertically and an infinity symbol ♾️ horizontally.
It is a finite life, and infinite possibilities.
Maybe that's what the director is doing this show.
Trust me, you'll want to go out and run two laps after watching it.
