On June 30, the new variety show "Come With Me" was launched in the first issue of Youku. This variety show is led by Huang Zitao, and Xu Yiyang, Jiang Chao, Zhang Dada and others are the guests of the show. The content of the show is that this group of stars went to some tourist areas to eat, drink and have fun. Based on the content of the first issue only, "Come With Me" can be "abandoned" in one issue, and there is no need to watch it.
As a travel variety show, it has two original highlights. The first one is fun. The second is delicious. In "Come With Me", this group of star artists is too selfish and does not show the two most primitive highlights of the travel show. In the first episode of the show, there was no show of what was interesting in the local area, and even in the intangible cultural heritage villages, the camera only revolved around the games of this group of stars, which completely ruined the highlight of the show.
As for the delicious food, in southern China, there are many delicacies. However, in the show, it still revolves around celebrities making games. Huang Zitao may have been a traffic star for too long, and he may still feel that everyone is interested in whether he dares to eat insects. As everyone knows, whether they are afraid of insects or not, and whether they dare to eat insects, how boring it is. This show does not focus on food, but on traffic stars, which obviously does not play a role in local tourism.
The most ironic thing is that at the end of the first issue, after these celebrities put on makeup, they had to go to the street to let Huang Zitao and Xu Yiyang hold hands to see if they could be recognized by passers-by. However, in the show, no passers-by knew them. A few of them, sitting on the roadside stalls eating and drinking boringly, even broke the news about their privacy. As a result, the proprietress of the family is still doing business, and she should give them a skewer and give them a skewer. On the side of the road, a little girl came to sell flowers to them.
The traffic stars take themselves too seriously, and the ordinary workers once again beat them with everyone's ignorance. No one paid attention to them, which also caused a huge satirical effect of this variety show. The well-designed link of Huang Zitao and Xu Yiyang holding hands on the street turned out to be lonely like this, which shows that the focus of ordinary workers is no longer on the paparazzi gossip of entertainment traffic stars. Without works, traffic stars are nothing.
The main reason for the failure of this kind of travel variety show with no highlights and no bright colors is that traffic stars have a very high self-esteem, causing the focus of the camera to revolve around them, and as a result, the audience can't see the real highlights of travel variety shows. It is a stone in the mountain, and I have to say Jiangsu Satellite TV's "Country on the Tip of the Tongue". is also a travel variety show, this "Bite of the Country" does not focus on stars, on the contrary, the focus is on the beautiful scenery and food, and even more so on the customs.
"A Bite of the Country" has a comfortable picture and makes the audience addicted, and after watching it, I really want to go to the filming location of the show to take a look. Especially the food part, after the show was broadcast, the audience really wanted to eat these foods. The exquisite lens and the shooting technique of knowing what the focus of the narrative is, make the travel variety show truly return to the level of the tourism variety show. This kind of variety show makes people want to chase it one after another, and it is a real variety show.
A comparison, you can find the problem of "Come With Me". A variety show like "Come With Me", which has no highlights and no bright colors, may still be a performance of traffic star artists who do not have "waking up from a dream". In "Come With Me", ordinary workers are busy with their own work, and no one cares about this group of stars. Probably, also out of boredom, this group of celebrities chatted about their private lives at roadside stalls. And this kind of private life trafficking, it is estimated that few people are interested in it.
I think that the decisive "abandonment of the drama" for "Come With Me" can ensure that the problem of bad money driving out good money will not occur in tourism variety shows. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
