"Ten diligent days of "parting ways"? When "Internet celebrity farmers" no longer farm》
Farming has become a kind of flow, and ten "diligent days" have become ten "diligent strategies". It's not irony, it's naked reality. A variety show that claims to let people in the city experience rural life, but in the end, it turned farmers into stars and fields into stages. Whose original intention is this? Blinded by interests?
Breaking news! People familiar with the matter exclusively revealed that the high-profile variety show "Let's Farm the Land" is about to usher in major changes. Ten members of Qintian are suspected of "having other plans", and a recruitment order from the program team caused an uproar. Who is behind this farce? Are the ten diligent days really going to "part ways"?
Let's start at the beginning.
From "Internet Celebrity Farmer" to "Star Dreamer"
In the summer of 2023, a variety show called "Let's Farm the Land" was born, and ten amateur youths formed "Ten Qintian" and sweated for 200 days in Houqiumen Village, Guizhou. After the show was broadcast, the ratings soared, and Shi Qintian also jumped from an unknown amateur to an "Internet celebrity farmer".
Who would have thought that after a year, the former "dark horse" program would fall into such an embarrassing situation?
It all started on July 19 this year. On that day, the official of "Let's Farm the Land" suddenly released a recruitment notice to recruit newcomers for the upcoming third season of filming. This seemingly ordinary job posting exploded on the Internet.
"What's the situation? Going to be replaced? "Is Ten Qintian going to be disbanded?" "Without ten diligent days, is "Let's Farm" still called "Let's Farm the Land"?"
Fans' doubts came one after another.
In the face of the surging doubts, the program team was obviously a little caught off guard. The next day, the director team hurriedly released a long article in an attempt to calm the turmoil. However, instead of placating the situation, the long article complicates the situation.
The long article mentions:
"Someone comes, someone leaves, it's a personal choice" "Is it important to be diligent for ten days? Significant! But farming is more important."
In the eyes of fans, these words are tantamount to a "death sentence" for ten diligent days.
Rumors spread, and fans collapsed
For a time, rumors spread on the Internet. Some people say that ten diligent days are going to fly solo, some people say that the program team is going to change blood, and some people say that this is a gimmick hyped by the program team. In just a few days, the show's official blog has lost more than 800,000 fans, which can be called a "collapsed" incident in the entertainment industry.
Just when public opinion was one-sided, on the evening of July 22, Jiang Dunhao, a member of ten Qintian, suddenly released a long article, drawing an unexpected question mark for this turmoil.
Jiang Dunhao said frankly in the article:
"We really need to add some helpers, the land is big, we can't delay anything, we can't delay the farm time, we can't delay the farm work."
He also revealed that the new recruits are only employees of the company, not new members of Ten Qintian.
These words undoubtedly gave fans a shot in the arm. However, if you savor Jiang Dunhao's words, you will find that things are not so simple.
"We're just a little bit 'greedy' and want to take care of our dreams."
This sentence sparked more speculation. Could it be that Ten Qintian is no longer satisfied with being an "Internet celebrity farmer"? Do they want to use the popularity of the show to pursue other dreams?
Netizen comments: Mixed reviews
Some netizens think:
"Isn't this just wanting to be a star? Farming is just a springboard for them. "
There are also those who expressed understanding:
"They are also young people, and it is normal for them to have their own ideals."
Some people think that this is the arrangement of the program team:
"It must be that the program team is afraid of the decline in ratings and deliberately creates a topic."
I have to say that this turmoil has indeed caused many people to think. In this era where traffic is king, how long can the identity of "Internet celebrity farmer" be maintained? Has the original pure original intention of farming been eroded by fame and fortune?
Expert analysis: The program is facing a transformation dilemma
Some industry insiders believe that:
"The success of "Let's Farm the Land" lies in the fact that it captures the yearning of young people for rural life. But as time goes on, the freshness of the audience is bound to wane. If the program team wants to develop for a long time, there must be new breakthroughs. "
Another variety show director who did not want to be named said:
"In the entertainment industry, there are no permanent amateurs. Ten diligent days have become 'half a star', and it is normal for them to want to go to the next level. The key is whether the program team can balance the relationship between the original intention of the program and the development of members. "
The absurdity and helplessness of the entertainment industry
Looking back on the whole incident, it is not difficult to find the absurdity and helplessness in it. Ten ordinary young people wanted to pass on positive energy through hard work, but they unknowingly fell into the whirlpool of the entertainment industry. Their every move touches the hearts of countless fans, and an unintentional word may cause an uproar.
This can't help but remind people of a quote from the famous writer Wang Xiaobo: "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste like." For Ten Qintian, their "chocolate" may be a sweet fame, but it can also be a bitter controversy.
So, what will the third season of "Let's Farm Look Like"? Will Ten Days of Diligence continue their farming journey? The answers to these questions may only be revealed on the day the show starts.
But one thing is certain: no matter what the outcome is, this turmoil will become an important case in the history of Chinese variety shows, which reflects not only the fate of a show, but also the current situation and predicament of the entire entertainment industry.
Deep Thinking: The Dilemma of the Times of Entertainment to Death
In this era of information explosion, should we re-examine our expectations of stars and variety shows? When "influencer farmers" no longer farm, how do we define their value?
Perhaps, the answer lies in the land where they once sweated. As Jiang Dunhao said:
"As long as our hearts stay together."
No matter how they choose in the future, the original intention and the memories of working together will become their most valuable wealth.
As for the future of "Let's Farm the Land", we might as well wait and see. After all, in this entertainment industry full of variables, today's turmoil may be tomorrow's legend.
However, we have to ask: when farmers become stars, when farming becomes performances, can we still find that original truth? In this age of entertainment to death, are we losing something more precious?
