When "Qi Pa Shuo" becomes more and more routine, is it time to say goodbye to this long-lived show?

As an online variety show and not the most attractive talent show, it is rare for "Qi Pa Shuo" to reach its seventh season.

Compared with the past, this year's "Qi Pa Shuo" shows a different competition system to make the program look as different as possible. But compared to the frontrunner back then and the brilliance of the subsequent three and four seasons, the attention paid to "Qi Pa Shuo" today is no longer the same, and its star-making ability has dropped a lot.

So let’s talk about it today. "Qi Pa Shuo" has reached its seventh season, why has its appeal become less?

First of all, the attractiveness of the players themselves decreases.

The audience had never seen "Qi Pa Shuo" when it first came out, so they could make jokes and debate at the same time. This is a debate show, more like an entertainment show. The debaters it invites also have their own characteristics. There are serious professional debaters like Huang Zhizhong, cute debaters like Yan Rujing, and mixed debaters like Xiaoxiao. They are colorful.

Although there have been breakthroughs in players in the past few seasons, and players like Zhan Qingyun appeared in the sixth season, there are not many surprises overall. Huang Zhizhong and Yan Rujing are still strong, but they basically no longer surprise people, and the new wonders are not exotic enough. Many times they imitate previous genres, so the new blood is not fresh enough.

Second, the debate process is too routine.

There are no absolute rules for debate, and methods vary from person to person. But after many seasons of the show, the contestants slowly began to form a routine, which was to be funny first and then sensational.

Especially during the first debate and the second debate, he started telling jokes as soon as he got up. Even if the joke is not directly related to the debate, they should be said to gain good rapport. Just like many sketches, the style of painting suddenly changed at the end, and it started to tell a personal experience, full of sadness and tears, which added some value and brought everyone into the mood.

This routine was effective at first, but now that the audience has watched it too much, they have gradually become numb. Just like in "Art Life" back then, Zhu Jun became a sensation when they played music together.

Third, debate is increasingly losing value.

The reason why "Qi Pa Shuo" first attracted people's attention is largely because the topics discussed by these people are worthy of many people's thinking. Sometimes they seem very bold, and some of them have been removed from the shelves. .

Looking at today’s debate topics, many of them are very childish. There are too many topics about love, but there are only a few that really have some discussion value. Many times, while looking at me, I think, these people cry so seriously just to argue about such an issue that is not worth discussing?

Xu Zhiyuan also asked such a question when interviewing Ma Dong. What are the issues worth debating? Maybe it’s not that it’s worthless, but it’s that it’s not worth much.

There are many reasons behind this, such as the constraints of the public opinion environment and other conditions. But in any case, the value of a debate is reduced, and it is impossible to rely on debaters and instructors to harden the value.

There are other reasons, such as the goddesses who come to the show start to become less divine. In the past, popular celebrities were always invited, but now only Song Dandan and Cai Ming are invited, which is not attractive to young audiences.

An online variety show that lasts for seven seasons has a long life. It's important to know that most shows end their cycles when they last about five seasons. In the eyes of many old Qi Pa, "Qi Pa Shuo" may be the time to say goodbye to the audience.

Ma Dong’s Miwei team is definitely capable of producing new programs, just like they did "Summer of the Band" in the past two years. And when the weird becomes no longer weird, reaching the end is not an impossible choice.
