Once upon a time, the popularity of popular variety shows was like cooking oil in a fire, and everyone was crazy about it! audiences were immersed in the laughter and emotional stories that the show brings, and the creative team was complacent in the ratings frenzy, convinced that they had mastered the secret to producing quality shows.
However, who could have foreseen that just when these shows were in the limelight and popular, a series of ugly events and tragedies were quietly breeding.
There is a shocking dark side behind the plot of the show that the audience talks about, and the celebrity guests who are worshipped as gods are not as pure and flawless as people think.
As a result, with the revelation of one crime after another, these once-smash hit variety shows finally withdrew from the public condemnation and became the target of national criticism.
Now, let's look back at these variety shows that were forced to stop broadcasting and explore the twists and turns.
In any case, these mercilessly cut shows have brought us endless joy, allowing us to listen to their "last words" with peace of mind, while reflecting on the root causes of their stagnation.
On November 8, 2019, the outdoor competitive reality show "Chase Me" created by Zhejiang Satellite TV was unveiled, which immediately aroused the enthusiastic attention of many celebrity guests and audiences.
Popular idols such as Huang Jingyu, Fan Chengcheng, and William Chan have joined one after another, and the high-intensity and difficult challenges set by the show have made the audience eager to try and enthusiastic.
However, who would have expected that just as the first episode of the program was broadcast, a special guest celebrity guest Gao Yixiang suffered misfortune. As a senior martial arts actor, Gao Yixiang naturally has a clear understanding of the physical consumption of the show.
However, he did not expect that the show, which was originally planned to start recording in the early morning, would continue all the way into the night.
In order to complete the task within the specified time, Gao Yixiang endured fatigue and did not hesitate to go beyond his physical limits and worked hard in the show. However, at 1:30 a.m., he suddenly felt unwell during the climb and collapsed.
When the staff rushed to the scene, Gao Yixiang's heartbeat and breathing had stopped.
After in-depth investigation, we were shocked to find that the root cause of that catastrophic incident was the serious negligence and dereliction of duty of the director team!
For example, a few days ago, Zou Shiming, a famous boxer who was also a guest of the competition, unfortunately encountered a sudden influx of props Ocean Ball, but fortunately, with the timely detection and rescue of other guests, he was able to get out of danger.
However, such an accident that should cause enough vigilance failed to make the director team wake up, but became more and more unscrupulous in the follow-up recording process, which eventually led to irreparable huge losses.
All the problems stem from the director's excessive obsession with the "exciting" pursuit of variety shows, and ignore the due protection of the personal safety of actors.
Gao Yixiang's death is undoubtedly a painful lesson of this kind of extreme behavior.
For the majority of family audiences, "The Voice of China" is undoubtedly a high-profile and popular variety show. In addition to the dedication of many superstar mentors, there are also many players with extraordinary strength who have attracted the love and pursuit of countless audiences.
However, who would have thought that behind this seemingly glamorous show, there would be such a shocking "behind-the-scenes shady"? The source of everything can be traced back to an accidentally exposed recording, and the protagonist of the recording is the former mentor Coco Coco Coco.
In this recording, Coco Li angrily reveals that one of his students was inexplicably overtaken by another player with a lower score, despite achieving a higher rating in the competition.
It can be seen that the fate of the players has long been firmly controlled by the "black hands" behind the scenes, and it is impossible to select truly excellent voices.
What's even more distressing is that Coco Li, who is in a worried physical condition, was promised when she sang that the program team would arrange other students to help her stay stable.
However, when she actually stepped onto the stage, Coco Li struggled alone and passed out on the stage after the performance.
All of this is because of the manipulation of the masterminds behind the scenes, who completely ignore Coco Li's health and just want to create more gimmicks and topics.
This shocking and ugly shady curtain was not revealed until after Coco Li's death, plunging audiences across China into deep indignation and grief.
In the face of the strong anger of public opinion, "The Voice of China" had no choice but to suspend the broadcast, however, in the end, whether this suspension is only for real reform, or just a stopgap measure, I am afraid that only the long years can give us a clear answer.
For the well-known longevity program "Happy Camp", its collapse did not happen overnight, but the long-term accumulated problems have reached the point of no return.
There is no doubt that this show does have many widely recognized shortcomings, such as the "gift-giving turmoil" that has caused severe criticism on the official website.
However, what is more worthy of our in-depth thinking is that the host He Jiong unabashedly exposed the hidden rules of the vast majority of domestic brokerage companies in a certain talk show.
According to He Jiong's revelations, these brokerage companies are not strict with their appearance and strength when selecting newcomers, and they often sign hundreds or even thousands of potential talents in one go.
Then, the agency will patiently observe until it finds the seed of the star with the most potential, and then devote itself to cultivating and shaping his/her idol image.
What will be the fate of those newcomers who fail to make a name for themselves? Either choose to terminate their contracts voluntarily and bear heavy liquidated damages, or they will passively wait until the contract expires.
As you can imagine, for those newcomers who aspire to success, voluntary termination is undoubtedly a huge financial burden.
The reason why He Jiong dares to tell the truth so frankly may be because he is extremely dissatisfied with the unspoken rules of the entire industry. In fact, this "reciprocating" type of newcomer selection model has undoubtedly exacerbated the homogenization and mediocrity within the industry.
And the fundamental reason for the suspension of "Happy Camp" is likely to stem from this.
If the controversy of the aforementioned variety shows is limited to the topic of behind-the-scenes operations, then the show "Metamorphosis" is even more worrisome.
As a reality show tailored for young people, its original creative concept was full of positive energy - hoping that wealthy children can experience the hardships of rural life, so that they can know how to cherish the happiness in front of them and be kind to everyone around them.
However, the reality always runs counter to the ideal vision! As the popularity and popularity of this variety show continues to rise, the rich children who are lucky enough to participate in it seem to have forgotten the original purpose of the show.
They stepped into the threshold of the show, more to create a sensation in the eyes of the public, and then lay a solid foundation for becoming a hot Internet celebrity in the future.
For example, the excesses of the irascible and willful rich children shown in front of the screen are often packaged and hyped up under careful planning.
In order to create a compelling hot topic, they will do whatever it takes to play childish, even to the point of harming others.
And in order to cater to these rich children who are "money first", the director team also chose to acquiesce and compromise.
In the face of these artificially concocted "plots", those innocent and simple children from the countryside had to endure all kinds of injustices and injuries during the recording process, but they had nowhere to complain but to endure in silence.
What's even more distressing is that when they withdrew from the show and returned to their original living environment, they frequently expressed anger, misanthropy, and even some began to fall into self-depravity.
In stark contrast, the rich children who participated in "Metamorphosis" won more attention and exposure. With the popularity brought by the show, many of them later successfully transformed into influencers, stars, etc.
For example, today's highly sought-after Internet celebrity Han Anran and artist Li Hongyi are typical examples of how they rose to prominence and fame through the stage of "Metamorphosis".
