The first broadcast ranked first in ratings, but Zhang Yixing caused controversy. This show is really not as good as every season. What do you think?

The fifth season of "Longing for Life" has finally been aired. After the first episode of the variety show was aired, the TV series' ratings surged to first place, which was considered a good start. However, since the permanent guests of the third season became Huang Lei, Teacher He, Peng Peng, and Zifeng, the objections about replacing others have not stopped. As a result, Zhang Yixing was added this season, which once again raised questions: "I have watched the variety shows over the years, and they were destroyed by a mouse..." "The more this variety show gets, the more embarrassing it becomes. There is also this person who loves to feed grass. I can only reminisce about the two seasons with Haikang." "

It can be seen that from the first season to the fourth season, the Douban user rating of the variety show dropped from 8.1 to 7. So, the objection to "Longing for Life" is only Because of Zhang Yixing? In fact, as a continuous entertainment program, the audience has already become accustomed to the permanent guests, so it is expected that every time the staff changes, it will cause dissatisfaction.

In fact, the main reason why the program is ridiculed is not because of the replacement itself, but because the newcomer does not have the sense of a variety show. You know, as a "slow variety show", the variety show does not have fancy game production, nor does it have one-on-one task challenges, so the permanent guests seem to be the most important in this type of variety show. It's important.

The fifth season arrived at Bailinzhou Village in Taohuayuan, Changde, Hunan Province. The feeling of the first episode was like the continuous rainy weather in the variety show. It can be summed up in four words - dead, angry, sinking, sinking. . Different from the bright sunshine of the last season in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, the "South of Colorful Clouds", this season's variety show seems to want to return to basics. Whether it is dilapidated rooms, scarce food, the standards look very difficult.

In the first episode, the whole process of Huang Lei, Teacher He, Peng Peng, and Zifeng arriving at the new house, transporting it by boat, and cleaning up the room was mainly presented. Zhang Yixing only appeared in the last 15 minutes of the show. The appearance was delayed again and again. The preliminary work behind this whole issue can be seen, as if I have seen "A Lonely", and I can't help but wonder - I have seen a longer trailer, right? That's it?

From the first episode, two shortcomings were mainly exposed: one is the permanent guest, and the other is the program setting. First of all, in terms of the permanent special guests: on the one hand, Huang Lei and Teacher He "cannot bring" Peng Peng and Zifeng sister. Compared with the hard work of Huang Lei and Teacher He in the first season, the fatigue of the two people in the fifth season is clearly visible to the human eye.

Whether it was Mr. He looking through things to play along the way, or Huang Lei looking for topics to chat with, it can be said that the entire variety show was supported by the two of them through hard work. Once no new guests are added to the variety show, the fatal flaw in the coordination between the four people will be exposed. Let’s talk about Peng Peng, who has been growing steadily since the second season. Previously, he received high praise from many viewers for his hard-working and real performance.

Compared with Haikang, who loves to pretend to be sophisticated and is ridiculed, Peng Peng, who is conscientious and conscientious, seems to have no black spots at all. However, people always seem to have good memories because of their differences. With Haikang's departure, Peng Peng's bad words became dull. Just like being hit hard on the head by a window in a variety show, you don't even scream in pain. When Huang Lei cues you "hit your head and make a peach", you won't take the joke and always laugh.

While playing the mobile game of throwing hoops and trapping dishes, Huang Lei ordered Peng Peng to take off the tofu skin. Peng Peng swallowed, which showed that he was under great pressure. Then when he caught the fried chicken but not the tofu skin, his first reaction was to quickly see Huang Lei's reaction. When he saw that they were optimistic, he felt relieved. I have to admit that this is the fourth season of Peng Peng and Huang Lei's relationship, but Peng Peng is still so afraid of Huang Lei, showing a strong sense of strangeness, which inevitably makes the audience feel a little uncomfortable.

As for my younger sister Zifeng, in fact, compared to the previous time, she seemed more nervous due to the pressure of college entrance examination and other work this year, but she seems to be more relaxed mentally this season. Perhaps because of her performance in "My Sister", sister Zifeng still talked about Sichuan dialect in the variety show; in it, the scene where Huang Lei pushed sister Zifeng to ride a car and sister Zifeng took photos of Peng Peng was also sweet. greasy.

But because sister Zifeng is young, has little work experience, and has a good temperament, she actually doesn’t have much of a variety show feel in variety shows.

Just like when she heard that she was going to row a boat, everyone was very happy, creating a unique gap with Huang and He next to her. As a result, when rowing, my sister was only allowed to sit once and got out without even touching the oars. Sister Zifeng did not fight or fight, without any regulations or complaints.

In the variety show, whether it is the leisure activities of middle-aged and elderly people such as soaking feet in hot water, drinking tea, and word picking, or the hard work of picking vegetables, washing dishes, and moving small boxes - the brother and sister have completely become a total team. He is an obedient person, without the individuality and mystery of young people. It can be said that this pair of "obedient siblings" has no black spots, but it is difficult to become a hit. If it continues like this again, it is likely to destroy the entire variety show.

On the other hand, Zhang Yixing will become a "big change". If Peng Peng and sister Zifeng are a pair of sensible children, then Haikang who was here before is a little brat. Whether it's his poor Mandarin skills, a runny nose, smelly farts, or the sometimes lazy Haikang, he is always being teased and teased.

But it is precisely because of embarrassment and lack of rules that a lot of unexpected jokes are created. It can be said that variety shows need a person who "takes the blame". After Haikang passed away, Peng Peng, who was teased for being fat, having hairline, and not being clean, undoubtedly took over Haikang's position and became the "harlequin" in the show.

But just like Peng Peng, who has lost weight in the new season, has been wearing a sun hat to hide the bun line, and applied a hydrating mask when soaking her feet in hot water, Peng Peng also wants to be a beautiful boy— -And this means that there are no "harlequins" in the variety show, which will undoubtedly make the already embarrassing variety show unexpected.

At this moment, Zhang Yixing's emergence can be said to be an escape from the predicament. Just like discovering a small store at the beginning, only Huang Lei sneaked in through the window, and the "Kung Fu Panda" unique skills reappeared; and then Zhang Yixing brought 5 pounds of beef and mutton and pretended to be a speaker to sneak in. The delicate little lamb is now a The perfect little rabbit - the master and the apprentice sing and harmonize, it is really a dream-like "Extreme Challenge".

Judging from the trailer of the second issue, Zhang Yixing, who was trying to eat in a small store, should have a "rogue" relationship. Huang Lei finally has someone to cooperate with! However, the "extremely challenging" nature of "Longing for Life" is both an opportunity and a challenge. You must know that the director of this variety show is not Yan Min. Not only is it unknown whether the program team can hold it, but also whether such gameplay is appropriate. It’s hard to say what the characteristics of variety shows are.

However, Zhang Yixing, who is familiar with Huang Lei but is similar in age to Peng Peng and Zifeng, may become a buffer zone between generations, making the relationship between the five people more harmonious. It's a little exciting to think about whether there will be a "rebellion" scene led by Zhang Yixing. In addition, Zhang Yixing, who can sing and dance, has invisibly taken over Haikang's previous role and will add a lot of interest to the variety show.

Of course, I don’t know why in the first issue whether Zhang Yixing, who seems to have a certain youthful look, can take on the task of connecting the past and the future. Let’s continue to hesitate about his performance next time. Secondly, in terms of the setting of the variety show: get off the boat - get the bamboo basket - look at the house - move small boxes - clean up the house - eat and soak your feet to sleep, the steps of the first variety show are clearly arranged Chu, it is like a diary of running bills, without the natural feeling of "slow variety show".

The most important thing is that there are indeed too many product placements in variety shows. From the beginning of the variety show, no one cared about it, but later on, there were more and more advertisements, and many people ridiculed it as "advertising life." The number of advertisements in the fifth season is increasing day by day. From the milk in the bamboo basket at the beginning to the feeding of milk in the middle, there were 7 or 8 advertisements in the variety show.

Perhaps due to the awkwardness of previously ridiculing water heaters, range hoods, etc., this season’s variety show directly allocates up to six minutes of concentrated advertising time. During the process of playing hoops, the four of them became the emotional equipment for repeating the senior year of high school. After playing, they changed the course in various ways, mostly just taking steps.

Judging from the fact that the variety show has set up a pornographic activity center, it seems that this may be a stage that will be performed frequently in the future. I have to admit that the budget of the program team is getting bigger and bigger, but most of the settings of variety shows are stuck in their ways, and there are more and more ways to play videos.

Unlike the previous seasons, the first issue is a real issue. The current fifth season is broadcast in three days, and there are three versions among the advanced planning, regular version, and membership version. With repetitive content, a variety show is like squeezing out toothpaste, asking questions bit by bit.

In addition to the two aspects mentioned above, the middle and late stages of the variety show are still very good, such as the "speculation" video clips where Huang Lei was told that he was not worthy of the iron shed and was slapped in the face. Trying to make up for the lack of content in this issue. Generally speaking, what a "slow variety show" needs is the interest expressed by the invited guests in their natural interactions, rather than forcing several people with little interest together to create a hypnotic effect like a running bill. In any case, the performance of the first issue of the fifth season of "Longing for Life" did not meet expectations. I hope it will get better in the future! What do you think?
