Text: Is school over?
Edit|Is school over?
The entertainment industry has exploded again! CCTV, which has always been steady, actually played "tricks" when reporting on the Olympic events?! Those glamorous sports stars on weekdays have turned into "social people" under the CCTV lens. Is this a prank by the photographer, or is there something else going on? Let's take a look at the untold story behind this.
The Olympic athletes shined on the field, but they "overturned" under the CCTV lens. What's going on with this hilarious picture?
Is the CCTV photographer's skill not up to par, or does he have ulterior motives? For a while, netizens were discussing, and various speculations emerged one after another.
As a veteran journalist in the entertainment industry, I decided to investigate this matter in depth. After many investigations, the truth of this "ugly photo" incident was finally revealed.
It turns out that there is such an amazing secret hidden behind this!
Fan Zhendong: From "Ping Pong Boy" to "Greasy Uncle"
Let's start with a recap. At the just-concluded Olympic Games, CCTV carried out an all-round report on the performance of mainland athletes.
However, when these reports were broadcast, they caused an uproar. Fan Zhendong, who is handsome and compelling on weekdays, has become a "fifty-year-old man" under the CCTV lens.
In that photo, the little fat brother was sweating profusely and wrinkled, and he was able to get rid of the sense of déjà vu of a "greasy middle-aged man". That's too much of a contrast!
From "Ping Pong Boy" to "Greasy Uncle", Fan Zhendong can be described as a "personality collapse" this time!
Netizens ridiculed: "Is this Fan Zhendong or Fan Zhenye?", "Xiaopang has experienced retirement life in advance?"
Chen Meng: Beauty transforms into an "alien"
And Chen Meng, who has always been known for his beauty, was not spared. CCTV's close-up of her is unbearable to look at, as if she is an "alien" who came out of a science fiction film.
That distorted and deformed face makes people wonder if this is really the Chen Meng we know? Netizens exclaimed: "Is this Chen Meng or Chen 'Meng'?"
The beautiful athlete instantly transforms into an "alien creature", this reversal is too strong!
Sun Yingsha: The moment you win the championship, it becomes an "emoji" in seconds
The most laughable thing is Sun Yingsha's championship photo. It was supposed to be an exciting highlight moment, but it was filmed as a "meme".
The exaggerated expressions and strange postures are simply full of comedic effect. Netizens laughed: "Is this winning the championship or laughing?"
From champion to "emoji", Sun Yingsha is really "hot" this time!
Netizens are hotly discussed: Is CCTV funny?
As soon as these photos were broadcast, they immediately sparked heated discussions on the Internet. Someone joked: "Is CCTV funny?"
"Is this photographer having a crush on these athletes and deliberately manipulating them?" Someone else said distressedly: "Our champions are so aggrieved, they are usually so handsome, why did they become like this when they came to CCTV?"
In the face of overwhelming complaints, CCTV chose to remain silent at first. But as public opinion intensified, they finally couldn't sit still.
In an internal briefing, CCTV acknowledged that there were problems with the photos and said it would carefully summarize the lessons learned.
Revealing: CCTV's "ingenuity"
However, it didn't end there. After my in-depth investigation, I found that there is an unknown inside story behind this!
It turned out that this "scandalous photo storm" was not a simple technical problem, but an ingenious attempt by CCTV.
A CCTV insider who did not want to be named revealed to me:
"In this way, we wanted to show the athletes what they really are like in the game. Those sweat and those distorted expressions just reflect their fighting spirit when they won glory for the country. "
This explanation may sound far-fetched at first, but when you think about it, it makes sense. Most of the images of athletes we usually see are carefully packaged.
And in the heat of the game, they do have a variety of "indecent" expressions and movements. From this point of view, CCTV's approach can be regarded as a different way.
Expert's opinion: Is CCTV playing this trick big?
However, this approach is clearly not recognized by the majority of the audience. Some media commentators have pointed out:
"As a national media, CCTV should indeed be more cautious in its reporting methods. Even if you want to show the athlete's true state, you should do so on the basis of respecting their image. "
Did CCTV go a little too far this time? Is it innovation or screwed up?
Athlete Response: Self-deprecation or helplessness?
At the same time, some of the athletes themselves responded to the incident. Fan Zhendong laughed at himself on social media:
"I didn't expect me to feel the taste of being an old man so quickly."
Chen Meng said:
"When you compete, you don't have to worry about expression management, and winning the championship is the best state."
This humorous response undoubtedly cooled down the turmoil. But some people have questioned whether the athletes' statements are passive.
After all, in the face of the national media, they are not easy to say. Is this really open-minded, or is it helpless self-ridicule?
Deep Thoughts: What is the Essence of Sports Reporting?
As the events unfolded, more voices began to pay attention to the essence of sports reporting. Some experts pointed out:
"Sports reporting shouldn't just show the glamorous side of athletes, but also dig deeper into the stories behind them. Those sweat and tears are the most worthy of our respect. "
This view has been shared by many people. Indeed, when we cheer for the glory of our athletes, should we also see the hardships they have put in?
Those so-called "ugly photos" may just record their most real and moving moments. What is the essence of sports reporting? Perfect or real?
Public opinion is divided: for vs against
However, those who support CCTV's approach are in the minority. More voices believe that CCTV, as a national television station, has the responsibility to maintain the image of athletes while showing the truth.
After all, these outstanding athletes are the precious wealth of the country and deserve to be better presented. Do you support CCTV's approach? How do you balance authenticity and respect?
CCTV Response: Improvement or Persistence?
In the face of complicated public opinion, CCTV finally responded. They said that they will pay more attention to balance in future reports, both to show the athletes in their true form and to respect their image.
At the same time, they also promised to strengthen the training of the photography team and improve the level of shooting. Is this a genuine improvement, or is it a stopgap measure to calm public opinion?
Deep Thinking: Perfection vs Truth
The turmoil seems to have subsided, but the reflections it has provoked are far from over. In this era of national entertainment, how should we view the image of public figures?
Should we blindly pursue perfection, or should we also accept their "imperfection"? As a veteran journalist in the entertainment industry, I think this question is worth thinking about for everyone.
Perhaps, what we need is not a false perfection, but a flash of truth. Those moments that were "exposed" by CCTV may be the most real and moving side of the athletes.
Do you prefer to see the athletes in their perfect form, or what they really are?
Looking Ahead: Where is sports reporting headed?
Of course, this does not mean that the media can report irresponsibly. How to find a balance between authenticity and respect is a question that every media person should think about.
Finally, let's look to the future. With the continuous improvement of public aesthetics, the requirements for media coverage will also become higher and higher.
We look forward to seeing more sports reports that are both authentic and exciting, so that the athletes' brilliance can be better revealed. This "ugly photos" incident may become a turning point in the history of Chinese sports reporting.
It reminds us to learn to appreciate true beauty while striving for perfection. After all, it is those imperfect moments that make up the most moving melody of life.
What will the future of sports reporting look like? What are you expecting?
