"Flower Less 6": Is it real or embarrassing?
"This show is really eye-catching, and a group of people getting together will only create embarrassment."
"This season of "Little Flowers" is really boring, it's better to watch a documentary."
"I still miss the old days when there were few flowers, and the guests got along naturally and interestingly."
The sixth season of "Flowers and Boys" has been controversial since its inception. The audience's complaints were endless, and the initial expectation gradually turned into disappointment and even accusation. Why did the once-beloved travel reality show end up like this? Are those "suffocating" embarrassing moments in the show the real performance of the guests, or a gimmick deliberately created by the program team?
Perhaps, the answer lies in those seemingly casual details.
1. The "Shura Field" of Forced Social Interaction
Different from the relaxed harmony between the guests in previous seasons of the show, the guests of "Flower Less 6" seem to have fallen into a "social dilemma" from the beginning of the journey. There is a lack of tacit understanding and common topics between them, and the interaction seems stiff and deliberate, as if they are just completing the tasks arranged by the program team, rather than really enjoying the fun of traveling.
In the warm-up stage of the show, Zhou Yutong aroused strong dissatisfaction among netizens because of his improper behavior at the Olympic gymnastics competition site. Netizens believe that she still took photos to promote the show with a smile on her face after the athlete's mistake, lacking respect and empathy for the athlete. This incident cast a shadow on "Flower Less 6", and also greatly reduced the audience's impression of Zhou Yutong.
After the show officially launched, the performance of Zhou Yutong and another young actor Rong Zishan pushed the "embarrassment" to a climax. In the collective counting of money, in the face of the panic of the new tour guide Deng Enxi, the experienced Chen Hao took the initiative to help, trying to clarify his thoughts and solve the problem.
However, Zhou Yutong just stood aside and watched coldly, and said in an interview afterwards: "Let the two of them try to do it first, they really need our help, so we came, don't come up, I'll be like teaching you to do things."
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens. Many people believe that Zhou Yutong's words and deeds are inconsistent and inconsistent. She did not provide any substantial help in the show, but she put on a posture of "being a good teacher" afterwards, insinuating that Chen was nosy. This kind of behavior of "tea talk and tea talk" not only ruined the popularity of passers-by, but also made the atmosphere of the show more embarrassing.
Coincidentally, when discussing travel plans, Zhou Yutong also showed his "self" side. When Rong Zishan and Deng Enxi, two peers, were chatting hotly, Zhou Yutong suddenly interjected and asked in a weird tone, "What are you chatting about?" A sentence instantly extinguished the enthusiasm of the two children for chatting, and also reduced the atmosphere of the scene to a freezing point.
If Zhou Yutong is a representative of "low emotional intelligence", then Rong Zishan perfectly interprets what is called a "giant baby". The young actor, who was born as a child star, showed a carelessness and irresponsibility that did not match his age in the show.
On the car to the destination, Rong Zishan suddenly let out a loud fart and took pleasure in it, completely ignoring the feelings of the people around him. Tian Jiarui, who was in the same car, couldn't help but complain: "Your taste is more rushing than seafood soup." However, Rong Zishan didn't care about this, and still smirked to himself.
As the youngest member of the team, Rong Zishan not only did not fulfill the obligations of the "younger brother", but became a burden to the "elder brothers and sisters". Not only did he not make any suggestions on the itinerary, but he often used "the child is sleepy" as an excuse to evade responsibility.
2. Authenticity torture under the "script traces".
The embarrassment of "Flower Less 6", in addition to the reasons of the guests themselves, the deliberate design and arrangement of the program team is also a major "slot". In order to create topics and conflicts, the program team deliberately arranged some unreasonable links, such as letting the guests complete the trip on a limited budget, and setting up various "accidents" and "challenges". Although this approach can increase the interest and topicality of the show to a certain extent, it also makes the audience doubt the authenticity of the show.
For example, in the paragliding project, the program team deliberately set up the problem of "insufficient funds" and guided the guests to discuss the question of "whether everyone should participate". This topic sparked a heated debate among the guests, and Chen Hao directly expressed his dissatisfaction, believing that this arrangement was unreasonable and would bring psychological pressure to some guests.
Judging from the effect presented by the show, this controversy did create conflicts and topics, but it also made the audience feel a strong "script trace". Many people questioned that the program team deliberately created contradictions in order to pursue the effect of the program, sacrificing the real experience of the guests.
In addition, the program team's editing and packaging of the guests also caused controversy. Some viewers believe that in order to highlight the "personality" of individual guests, the program team deliberately magnified their shortcomings, and even made malicious edits. For example, although Zhou Yutong's performance in the show was problematic, the program team portrayed it as a "green tea" image, which triggered attacks and abuse from netizens.
3. The thinking behind the "collapse of human design".
The "overturn" of "Flower Less 6" has made many people begin to reflect on whether today's variety shows are a stage for stars to show their true selves or a well-choreographed "reality show"?
Once upon a time, reality TV shows captivated large audiences with their authentic, natural style. People are happy to see the stars take off their halos and show the real side of life. However, with the increasingly fierce competition in the variety show market, some programs have begun to excessively pursue the effect of the program in order to win eyeballs, deliberately create conflicts, hype up topics, and even sacrifice the image and interests of guests.
The performance of several guests in "Flower Less 6" may be the embodiment of this "collapse of personality". Zhou Yutong tried to create an "independent" female image in the show, but because of her lack of empathy and communication skills, she finally became the "green tea" in the mouth of netizens. Rong Zishan has the aura of "national brother", but he exposed his immature and irresponsible side in the show, which disappointed the audience.
Their "overturn" is not only a mistake in personal behavior, but also a microcosm of the current variety show environment. When celebrities are forced to wear "masks" to live in order to cater to the market and audiences, reality shows also lose their original meaning and value.
Fourth, return to the original intention and look for real touching
The controversy of "Flower Less 6" sounded the alarm for domestic variety shows. When the program pursues entertainment effects excessively and ignores the authenticity and value orientation of the content, it will only lose the trust and support of the audience in the end.
Although "Flower Less 6" has many problems, it is not without merit. In the show, Chen Hao, as a senior, guided and helped the young actors, as well as the guests' experience of overcoming difficulties and growing together during the journey, which can still bring some warmth and touching to the audience.
This may be the charm of reality TV. It is not only a tool for entertainment and pastime, but also a bridge of communication between people, showing the beauty of human nature and the warmth of human feelings.
5. Conclusion: Where is the future of variety shows?
Perhaps, the answer lies in returning to the original intention and not forgetting the essence of variety shows. When the program can pay attention to social reality, convey positive energy values, and treat guests and audiences with a sincere attitude, it can truly win the recognition and respect of the market and create a new situation for variety shows.
