As we all know, reality shows are a "mirror of demons".
No matter how well the stars usually disguise themselves in front of the camera, once they get to the reality show and accept a long recording time, they will always reveal some real personalities and habits.
This is also the reason why many celebrities have collapsed and their popularity has declined after participating in reality shows.
For example, in the popular "Sister Lang 5", Han Xue was complained by the audience because she was too "contrived".
and Zhou Yangqing said that the scene of Han Xue "relying on the old and selling the old" also exposed the fact that she had no emotional intelligence, and there was a lot of controversy for a while.
It can be seen that celebrities still don't come to participate in reality shows easily, otherwise they may not have a reputation that will overturn one day.
And now Mango Channel has launched a new variety show called "Splendid Garden", I thought that Zhang Songwen as the main coffee could satisfy the audience, but I didn't expect that the audience couldn't suppress the scolding as soon as the show started, and the reasons for the bad reviews were surprisingly consistent. So why is this time?
01 People are set up too much
"Splendid Garden" is a slow show, the main content is Zhang Songwen's life before and after the renovation of his small courtyard, and he will invite some old friends to gather from time to time, in fact, there is a little shadow of "Longing for Life".
It is not uncommon for celebrities to participate in variety shows, and there is nothing wrong with designing some personality traits for themselves on the show.
However, Zhang Songwen set up too hard.
As soon as the show opened, he took the lead in emphasizing: "Professional actors do variety shows, I personally think they may be less professional!"
Good guys, how many actors who like variety shows have been scolded by this sentence?
But why did he come to participate? The answer is just four words: "Demons send gods."
It happened that Zhang Songwen's small courtyard was going to be renovated, and the director was very interested in his lifestyle, so it was logical to shoot.
The implication: I didn't come on my own initiative, isn't this a coincidence!
It seems that Zhang Songwen's acting skills are good, and this high-profile level is even more powerful.
And he also informed the program team in advance: "If you want to record me, don't be a screenwriter for me", "If any of you want to write a script for me, I won't do this show." ”
It can be seen that Zhang Songwen wants to set up a real character, but is his tone too high-minded?
This kind of thing should have been communicated with him by the program team a long time ago, and if he has to mention it again in front of the camera, he can only say that he understands everything.
In the content that followed, Zhang Songwen really began to play at will, remembering that one play was another, completely ignoring the staff.
To put it nicely, this is casual and relaxed.
To put it mildly, this is ego and willfulness.
And Zhang Songwen is such a big coffee, and he will also worry about a few dollars with the common people, this is another frugal character.
At the beginning, Aunt Hua Farmer was embarrassed to raise the price for him because of the presence of the program team, and bluntly said: "You are a big man, I won't say anything more."
But I couldn't stand Zhang Songwen and kept bargaining, and then the aunt could only bow her head and muttered in her mouth: "Why are you slamming the door", "We can't live like you?"
Not only that, Zhang Songwen also wanted to bargain with the boss when he bought furniture later, but the boss saw that he couldn't communicate with him, so he turned around and left.
Some netizens couldn't look past it and commented: "Don't set up a poor sour person, be generous, the bargaining looks so ugly." ”
But Zhang Songwen obviously didn't think so, and even replied: "If I don't bargain, I'll be very handsome?
It doesn't matter if you buy something in daily life, but there will always be many cameras and staff in the recording of variety shows.
With so many pairs of eyes staring, do you think the vendors are selling or not?
The invisible pressure has made this business relationship unequal, and Zhang Songwen's frugal way is more like a celebrity bullying the people, and it is no wonder that it causes discomfort to the audience.
02 Daddy is too strong, "Huang Lei 2.0"
In addition to setting up people too much, Zhang Songwen's biggest feeling to the audience in this variety show is that the "daddy" is too heavy.
The so-called "daddy" refers to the fact that middle-aged men like to preach, are good teachers, and have to point out to others at every turn.
Maybe he didn't realize the problem himself, but he just gave people this unpleasant feeling from the state of his gestures.
For example, in front of the young student Ma Jiaqi, Zhang Songwen took up the posture of an elder, talked about his life insights for so many years, and claimed that what Xiaoma doesn't understand now will understand it when he reaches my age.
And when encountering flowers and plants, Zhang Songwen couldn't help but want to popularize science, as if he was the only one in the world who knew how to plant, and even the aunt who sold flower seedlings had to be "educated" by him.
Does it sound familiar?
That's right, many viewers can't help but think of Huang Lei, who is also "daddy" after watching Zhang Songwen's performance.
The style and state of these two people are the same, is this the common problem of middle-aged actors?
In short, Zhang Songwen's choice to participate in the variety show this time may have made a wrong decision, and in the TV series, he can rely on his acting skills to make the audience ignore some character shortcomings.
But when it comes to reality shows, a little thing can also be magnified, and a detail can also make people see through his disguise.
In fact, he should not go into the variety show circle now, but hurry up filming and cherish the existing popularity.
Think about it carefully, does Zhang Songwen have any good works after "Hurricane"?
A "Ice Hunting" was ridiculed by the whole network, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a "bad drama". As for the movies "Volunteers: Heroes Attack" and "The Eighth Suspect", his performance is also mediocre.
But Zhang Songwen was not in a hurry to film, and actually came to record a slow comprehensive, which affected the popularity of passers-by, which shows that actors still have to do their jobs well and use less bells and whistles to attract attention.
Becoming popular in middle age is not easy to come by, so do it and cherish it!
03 Conclusion
"Splendid Garden" should be a "dying struggle" of Mango Station in the field of slow comprehensive.
Why is it that today's viewers are increasingly distracted from watching this kind of show?
First, because of the rapid development of short videos, the pace of life of the audience has been accelerating again, and the slow comprehensive can no longer meet everyone's demands for a lot of pleasure in a short time.
The second is because the slow comprehensive form is too limited, cooking, raising flowers, chatting, sensationalism, and the cliché makes people uninterested.
The third is that the celebrities set up characters on the show in a fake way, and in real life they are all "208", and they still want to make the people empathize?
The hypocritical and embarrassing slow drama has long been ignored by the audience, and it is better to stop it as soon as possible than to continue to change tricks to annoy people.
And the actors still shoot fewer reality shows, leaving a little mystery for the audience, which will be better for their acting careers.
So what do you think about this?
