This week, the second season of "Detective Meng" aired, and Song Dandan answered the question of variety director Wu Tong: "What is the most righteous thing you have ever done yourself?" Song Dandan replied: "My most righteous thing is to participate in the most tiring variety show in history done by the most tired director in history, just this "Detective Detective"! In this regard, Wu Tong expressed helplessness, and the others laughed together.
Although it is a program effect, this sentence is real. Last year, the show "Meng Detective" was broadcast on iQiyi, and due to the program form of plot reasoning, it attracted the attention of netizens, and the oldest resident guest in the last season of the show was Na Ying, who was 54 years old at the time. The oldest guest this year is Song Dandan, 62 years old!
Wu Tong, after 85, can be said to be the "top stream" among domestic variety directors. He has single-handedly created two ace variety shows, "Ace to Ace" and "I Am an Actor". Not only that, he is also the general director and producer of variety shows such as "The More You Jump More Beautiful", "Youth Tour", "Detective Detective", "The Birth of an Actor", "Director Please Advise" and other variety shows.
Why did Song Dandan come to Wu Tong's program after retirement? Mainly the deep friendship between the two, as early as 2017, the show "The Birth of an Actor" was concluded - at that time, Song Dandan was the resident tutor of the show, and Wu Tong was the general director of the show. Then in 2020, Song Dandan announced that he was going to retire, and the first exposure of this news was in the variety show "Ace to Ace" directed by Wu Tong, Wu Tong took this opportunity to hold a grand retirement ceremony for Dan Danjie from the head, which also made the current program both funny and meaningful, and the friendship between the two has since reached a higher level.
This year,000 preparations for a new season of "Meng Detective", Na Ying could not return to the Meng Detective family because of the recording of "Riding the Wind and Waves 3", and Wu Tong also said that he hoped that the Meng Detective family could maintain the original age structure. In this way, Song Dandan became the most suitable candidate, and her participation will also make the show more stalked. After all, last year in "Fifty Kilometers peach blossom wood" to create "masterpieces" and other hot stems, Song Dandan is undoubtedly the funny responsibility of variety shows, even Yang Di seems to have less words in the show.
"Detective" was inspired by an episode of "Stupid Thief" in the sixth season of Ace vs. Ace. The director team added a paragraph of reasoning to the game, and the "laughing fruit" was particularly good. So there is this funny variety show that contains "reasoning" elements. Specific to the show, the clues to solve the case are not based on the logical reasoning and serious search for evidence by the guests, but through room escape, confrontation games, etc.
However, a reality show like "Meng Detective" is not like an ordinary studio variety show, each recording is more than 10 hours, and then there will be many interviews, such as Song Dandan, such an old artist is indeed physically overwhelmed, saying that Wu Tong is "the most tired director in history", and it is also well deserved to do "the most tiresome variety show in history" "Meng Detective"! Of course, her remarks were clearly a joke, and she was one of the most engaged guests on the show.
