Tragedies in life are often triggered by seemingly small signs. These trivial and easily overlooked details can lead to irreparable catastrophe. Today, we focus on the dark side of the entertainment industry, and gain insight into the stories behind those variety shows that were once all the rage but are now forced to stop broadcasting.
Everyone is familiar with these shows, they were once popular across the country and loved by viewers, yet as time went on, they seemed to drift away from their original image of kindness. They have gradually become negative teaching materials in the eyes of the public, and when did all this start and how did it happen?
The shadows behind the glorious stage
A closer look at these once hit programs reveals that their mistakes are not accidental, but the emergence of deep-seated problems. Below, we take "The Voice of China" as an example to discuss how these variety shows gradually deviate from their original intentions.
In the early days of the broadcast, "The Voice of China" won the love of the audience with its unique selection mode - "Swivel Chair". However, behind the "swivel chair", there seems to be some unknown insiders. During Coco Li's selection process, some appalling scandals broke out.
According to internal recordings, when Coco Li fought for more singing opportunities for students as a mentor, she was obstructed and even ridiculed by the producer.
Coco Lee's persistence undoubtedly reflects her dedication to art and her responsibility for her students, but the producer's reaction has made us deeply question the fairness of the show.
In this controversial incident, Wilber's chair turned automatically at a critical moment when it should have remained still, causing the contestants to lose their fair play opportunities.
If a show can't even guarantee basic fairness, is it worth watching?
In both cases, "The Voice of China" presents an image that the public is happy to accept but full of contradictions. This contradiction is undoubtedly a harbinger of the decline of these variety shows from glory.
The tragedy of "Chase Me".
Turning over the history of the variety show circle, a particularly sad event is worrying, that is, during the recording of the "Chase Me" program, Taiwanese artist Gao Yixiang suddenly fell ill and finally passed away.
Gao Yixiang's sudden death not only hit many fans and viewers hard, but also aroused serious questions from the public about the program team's efforts to maintain the health of the participants.
Looking back on Gao Yixiang's recording process in the program, although he faced extremely challenging tasks, he always stuck to his post, went all out, and brought his enthusiasm and spirit of love for entertainment to the extreme.
However, although he has always maintained a sunny and positive image in the eyes of the public, his dedication and dedication have brought such an unacceptable ending.
Controversial work environment and ethical issues exposed
What is even more disturbing is that Gao Yixiang's death has raised questions about the working environment and ethical standards of the program team.
While the operation of the show requires hard work and sacrifice from the cast and crew, these efforts become insignificant until the disregard and negligence for safety are carried out. The public has also begun to reflect, is such a program really worth our pursuit and attention?
Gao Yixiang's tragedy undoubtedly reveals some serious problems and loopholes in the variety show circle.
The rise and fall of variety shows is undoubtedly a history of prosperity and decline. From the laughter and singing on the screen to the sweat and tears behind the scenes, to the final stop, all of this has given us a deeper understanding of the entertainment industry.
Behind the real accident, it is also us who are popular with them, and the scenery in front of the stage and the shadow behind it form a picture that makes people sigh.
From the "Swivel Chair Door" of "The Voice of China" to the tragedy of "Chase Me", we have seen the entertainment industry's violation of fairness and justice, and its indifference to humanitarian care.
These scandals and tragedies make us wonder if we should revisit these seemingly innocuous entertainments and whether we need to learn from them to avoid a recurrence of these tragedies.
Perhaps, we should stop, slow down and face these colorful entertainment programs with a more responsible attitude. Let's take various events as a mirror, actively call for a fair and just competition environment, and care for every display of love and talent. Only when we understand this truth, the entertainment industry we see will bloom again.
This stage should belong to everyone with dreams and talents. Only when they show their talents with peace of mind and freedom can we truly enjoy the joy and happiness brought by variety shows.
