The enthusiastic growth of basketball teenagers and the tension of the national competition make it easy for people to forget the fact that the whole story of "Slam Dunk" actually originated from a "female condensation".
"Hello, my name is Haruko Akagi. Do you like basketball? When Haruko Akagi fell in love with Sakuragi Hanamichi's tall stature and big muscles at a glance, a delinquent teenager found a new direction in life. And the reason why Sakuragi Hanamichi was abandoned tragically last time was that his ex-girlfriend fell in love with Oda, who played basketball.
Speaking of which, the basketball court is the most "female" place. When I watched "Slam Dunk", arguing about who is the most handsome and charismatic is an eternal problem, and it is easier to cause an aesthetic war than asking "who do you like the most in F4". So much so that netizens had to make a difficult compromise of "Sakuragi as an elder brother, Rukawa as a husband, and Mitsui as a brother". Anyway, Hard Candy Jun hasn't had that feeling of "two enemies, it's hard to leave behind" for a long time, until I watched iQiyi's new variety show "I Play Basketball in Hengdian", and the joy of picking dazzling eyes came back.
Yan Chengxu can be described as a double art and color, that arm is thick, you hug one without squeaking. Watch the line of his arm draw an arc in the air, and with a bang, the ball goes in. Question Shancai, understand Shancai, and become Shancai.
Yu Haoming said to Zhu Zixiao coolly, "This classmate, you are very dragged", and pulled Hard Candy Jun into the meteor shower universe with Yan Chengxu. Alliston didn't play enough balls, Duanmu Lei, you stay in Hengdian and deduct passionately! Even Ji Lingchen, who smiled a little innocently, also let the masses get the charm of sports students.
used to say "no brothers, no basketball", after watching "I Play Basketball in Hengdian", Hard Candy Jun has three opinions to add: no female condensation is no basketball, no male competition is no basketball, no male color is no basketball.
"Fool me into a mentally retarded person", "The believing girl begs God to give him a boyfriend who can play basketball", "I was pretended to be handsome", "I brought all the domestic entertainment male stars to play"...... Obviously, there are a large number of female viewers who agree with Hard Candy Jun's point of view. iQIYI has indeed found a new way to open up all-male variety shows. Men play, women watch men play. It can be said that each has its place, and the beauty is shared.
When other male group portrait variety shows are still immersed in competition, brotherhood, and self-transformation, "I Play Basketball in Hengdian" has opened up a new track of "female gaze". It's not alarmist, hard candy is here to "buy".
I am very attentive to the selection of concubines on the court
"I Play Basketball in Hengdian" is a basketball social reality show produced by iQIYI, which gathers a number of stars and actors in Hengdian with a "basketball game" to show the charm of basketball and real social life from the perspective of non-athletes. Huang Minghao, Ji Lingchen, Liu Genghong, Yan Chengxu, Yu Haoming, and Zheng Yecheng served as resident guests, Dawang served as the host, Sun Yue and Xu Yue served as coaches, and Meina and Liang Jiarui served as commentators.
It's been a long time since there has been a variety show, which has made Hard Candy Jun realize the row of "all peacocks open the screen, just to please me". In "I Played Basketball in Hengdian", we can "gaze" generously. Our eyes are their stimulants, and our cheers are the driving force behind the pitch.
From a woman's perspective, "I Played Basketball in Hengdian" answers two important issues in the current entertainment industry. First, how to present male hormones simply and directly without making people feel deliberate and greasy. Physical confrontation, sweating, and real hand-to-hand combat in basketball are undoubtedly the best way to do it.
Yan Chengxu's hook shot is very handsome, Zhou Baihao's eyes when he makes free throws are very killing, Ji Lingchen's breakthrough man in a desperate situation is explosive, and he eats Huang Minghao's smart boyhood of playing with brains...... The comments of the female audience are like a large-scale concubine selection scene.
After watching the game, Hard Candy Jun understood that the emperor in the palace fight drama was by no means mediocre, but that his beauty made him not want to judge fairly. For example, Ji Lingchen told Cheng Xu that he deliberately pushed him down, and I was naturally reluctant to punish him heavily. I had to pull Ji Lingchen's kind words to persuade him, and by the way, he punished Yan Chengxu for two turnarounds. Just applauded loudly for Li Xinze, and looked back to see that Huang Minghao had already thrown himself into his arms, "Shengshang, I can also shoot, how can I look at other concubines!" "How can you not be so happy.
Second, what kind of masculinity does a female audience need? In addition to the attraction of the flesh, sports competition has also condensed a lot of universally recognized and popular masculinity. Ji Lingchen set off a craze in the audience after several high jump challenges, and this feeling of snorting is very real and cute. Benchmarking "The Legend of Zhen Huan", isn't it Concubine Hua who "doesn't let me be presumptuous and presumptuous many times"?
Zhou Baihao is a representative of Hong Kong men, showing the charm of mature men in his calmness, and even wrinkles grow on the hearts of fans. Holding his breath when he made free throws, the decisiveness of the killing was intoxicating. I feel that it doesn't matter if I hit the penalty or not, and the moment the ball is shot is like a general's sharp arrow. No wonder Mina shouted on the sidelines: "I only prefer Zhou Baihao!" ”
Li Xinze is the versatile An Xiaobird, and the breakthrough on the court makes people feel that "there are any surprises you have that I don't know". When he wore the crotch, he stunned the opponent and the audience. Immersed in the Xianxia martial arts masters he had played, Hard Candy Jun sat up in shock, "Brother, you are really good at martial arts!" "When the MVP took the ring of the Great Sage and kissed it, he innocently looked like a child.
Liu Genghong and Huang Minghao represent the elder brother type and the younger brother type respectively, and they are selected by the next king in the first year. Liu Genghong's insistence on playing after being injured is a manifestation of responsibility. Huang Minghao is flexible but also has perseverance, and he is not willing to give up when he is exhausted in the later stage. The stubborn "Yurao" is unforgettable.
As Sean Nixon emphasized in "Displaying Masculinity," the aggregation of a particular masculinity always depends on the act of "watching." "I Played Basketball in Hengdian" also uses the female gaze to complete the reconstruction and highlighting of masculinity.
Social group portrait, no brothers, no basketball
"My weakness is that when there is confrontation, it is the beginning of my superiority." Liu Genghong's confession makes people feel that "I Play Basketball in Hengdian" is indeed easy to get people up. This is not only because the show has a high-burning and bloody showdown, but also because it shows the real social state of celebrities after work, and even you and me after work.
In just one game, we can get the social group portrait and team responsibility of the star players as quickly as possible. It's all about their personalities and their experiences. Big brother Liu Genghong mainly plays point guard, although he occasionally speaks fiercely, but he has always led by example. In the case of injury before the game, he still took on the responsibility of the captain and insisted on the game.
Xiao Zhuge Huang Minghao is flexible and changeable, and is good at finding advantages in the chaotic situation to break through; Yan Chengxu and Zhou Baihao don't talk much, and their strength and handsomeness coexist; Ji Lingchen is tall and has long arms, although he is suppressed by the sophisticated twin towers, he still has the courage to break through; Zhu Zixiao has become a source of happiness on the court, constantly losing excellent scoring opportunities created by his teammates. When he said to coach Sun Yue in frustration, "My basketball dream is here." The audience opened their faces: "Are you here to perform a sketch?" ”
The rampage team has never given up after falling behind by a big score, and the loser does not lose the battle, and has also gained the respect of the opponent and the audience. In the high-intensity confrontation, we may have overlooked the fact that they were teaming up for the first time. Finding breakthroughs in the face of adversity is also the core of sportsmanship. Tactical adjustments, personnel replacements, and psychological construction, the team has always been actively responding.
As the coach promised, "We don't have any merits, our merits are love." "At the end of "Slam Dunk", Xiangbei did not dominate the country, which is not a perfect ending in the hearts of many people. However, the meaning of basketball is not in the final score, but in how we treat a game and how we live up to our youth.
After the game, in the brother bureau of Zheng Yecheng's family, it was full of warm life, which made people reminisce about their youthful years and basketball dreams. A man is a teenager until he dies, and who doesn't have a slam dunk dream. Yu Haoming ran a long way just to buy kung pao chicken that needed five ingredients (symbolizing five basketball players). I have a heart, I don't know if the organization defender should eat more peanuts or diced chicken is more helpful for results?
Zheng Yecheng said: "Although I am very good, but with me here, I will definitely not let this position vacant." Zhu Zixiao next to him nodded fiercely, although he didn't score, he did run all over the field today. Yan Chengxu sighed: "I suddenly found that the people who play basketball are so cute, which reminds me of my past." ”
Ji Lingchen said that Liu Genghong's communication gave him a sense of battle, and even wanted to train systematically. Don't set up the flag casually, and promise to make up the knife immediately: "You can practice systematically for a year (it's enough)." Liu Genghong apologized for his superiors and players, "I sometimes even yelled at Jay when I played" - well, I want to see it!
A new solution to all-male variety shows
All-male variety shows have made remarkable achievements in brotherhood and male group portraits. "Extreme Challenge" made us remember the Extreme Men's Gang, and several MCs showed their abilities and played the game with a sense of value; "Brother Who Overcomes Difficulties" opens a door for the troubled middle-aged actor to break through himself, allowing the audience and the market to see more possibilities.
From the perspective of vertical categories, "Extreme Challenge" and "Brother Who Overcame Thorns" have achieved in-depth excavation of the male track, and Zhuyu has also made it more and more difficult to break through similar variety shows. There have been many homogeneous works on the market, but it is difficult to replicate their success. Of course, the selection of people is a reason, and the dilemma of patterning cannot be ignored.
is also an all-male variety show, Hard Candy Jun was pleased to find that "I Played Basketball in Hengdian" took a new path: that is, to deconstruct the male world from a female perspective, and to dig out new highlights and cores from external behavior to internal logic. As male stars who are the objects to be viewed, their images and symbols are more fresh and interesting after being reconstructed by female audiences.
Today's female audience not only has to "eat something good", but also decides on their own menu. The user portraits of all-male variety shows in the past are probably similar to male novels and films, which have turned many female audiences away. "I Play Basketball in Hengdian", which advocates fun basketball and national sports, puts the remote control in the hands of female users, and the core of "choosing a concubine" is aesthetic autonomy.
When the players make free throws, the audience will shout their names loudly, perhaps at this moment they have gained a group of their own "fans". In addition to the entry of women's perspectives, the identity switching and contrast of the actors are also a major attraction of "I Played Basketball in Hengdian". They galloped on the basketball court, invisibly narrowing the psychological distance with the audience. is no longer an entertainer with a variety of roles, but a brother who can be cut with us.
At the same time, "I Play Basketball in Hengdian", which focuses on the amateur life of Hengdian actors, also presents a new way of socializing. After nightfall, the actors in Hengdian changed into new social identities and became court masters, which was a pleasant surprise. The first two issues of the human affairs team are amazing enough, and the third issue of the "Shuquan Tiancai Team" is full of expectations - Yan Yikuan, Lan Zhenglong, Wang Ce, Song Ningfeng, is this to be handsome and not pay for his life? It is recommended that the audience vote for a period of time with them to have a good time.
It restores the most simple happiness that basketball brings us, and at the same time solves the industrial problem of how female audiences can immerse themselves in watching all-male variety shows. "I Play Basketball in Hengdian", which handed over the right to speak to female audiences, undoubtedly found a new solution to all-male variety shows.
