CCTV's host contest in 2023 is really lively!It's time for the finals!The first few fixtures have already sent 54 powerful players home, and now only 6 players are left to compete for the final championship. Looking back at this whole season's competition, many netizens feel that it is too inferior compared to the 2019 one. The contestants like to choose the answers that can not only reflect the traditional culture but also show their personal talents, and it feels like they have found the secret to a high score. In the third stage, more than half of the 18 contestants chose topics related to traditional culture, which caused the audience to watch a little aesthetic fatigue.
These two host competitions are just a short interval of 4 years, how can there be such a big difference?Actually, the reason for this is probably inextricably linked to the reform of the competition system of the program group!Specifically, this year's host contest has made very big changes in eight aspects, and it is also the most critical place that has caused netizens to complain about the decline in quality this year.
1. The competition system has been fully updated.
In the past, we usually divided into two tracks: literature and news, but now, the program team has broken the shackles of this professional type, and the competition topics have become more comprehensive, aiming to select the all-rounders needed in the era of full integration. However, that doesn't seem fair to those who are good at journalism. Let's take a look at the previous competitions, which are basically divided into two categories: literature and journalism, and each category has its own unique exam questions.
2. The judging criteria have been slightly adjusted.
Now the competition has to go through a series of complicated procedures to finalize, including online registration, preliminary screening, re-examination and interview. Then, after many tests, only 60 players were able to make it to the live TV session. The competition is divided into four parts, each with a different schedule. Competitors need to draw lots to determine their order and number of matches, and although in previous years there was a limit of 60 people and four stages, the schedule was not as exciting as this year, especially in the third stage, where 18 people advanced to 6.
3. The performance of the host needs to be improved.
The hosting of this year's host contest was handed over to Nigmaiti, but Sa Beining, the big brother in the hosting industry in the previous session, could only sit in the audience and help comment and comment. I have to say that although we can't deny that Nigmaiti is a very good host, in this competition, he is more often just responsible for shouting slogans, signing up words, inserting advertisements or something, in fact, it is not very important to be able to play a subjective role. Sometimes it's even just a casual chat with the contestants, and it feels like a joke.
Fourth, the commentators are a little lacking.
You look at this host contest, invited two big names from **TV station - Kang Hui and Sa Beining to sit in the review seat, they are the "real-time professional" review experts you said, you said that what they say is quite similar to what we usually listen to, a bit of a "good old man" but also very real, but can he write a point-to-point program decryption like participating in a programming competition?I think it could be improved
Speaking of Dong Qing, she didn't come this time, we all know that we haven't seen her TV show for a long time, and the "Reader" has been delayed until now as if it was not finished. That Sa Beining, when he was the host before, he contributed a lot of golden sentences, but when it comes to being a guest commentator, it seems that there is still a little distance. He is always there to teach the players what to do, sometimes it looks like a cannon behind the horse, you say that the player only has one chance to perform, how can there be so many regret pills to take!And if you look at this competition, the time is so tight, the time left for the players to think must have exceeded the regulations.
Fifth, the rhythm of the show is too busy.
You look at the beginning of the show, even the professional judges and commentators didn't introduce it properly, so they finished it in one sentence. Moreover, there are some fresh faces in the show that we are not very familiar with. At first, when Nigmat improvised a question, he didn't finish it, and there was not much interaction between the host and the contestants, but it seems to have improved later. But you see that the time given to the reviewers is so short, they can only say a few words, and then hurry up to other links. If you look at it again, before the host makes a concluding statement, the link suddenly switches to introducing the information of the behind-the-scenes staff.
Sixth, the production team has changed.
I remember that the last contest was produced by the ** TV comprehensive channel, and many excellent news anchors were selected. But this time, it was replaced by the literary and artistic program center to lead, and it can be seen from the exam questions alone that the highlight is to choose those talented entertainment hosts. Look at Yu Lei, Zhang Guofei, and Guo Tong sitting in the judges' seat, they are not from the Literature and Art Center, and the impromptu exam questions are full of PV links to the literary evening, which is indeed a bit disadvantageous for the contestants who are news anchors.
7. The theme has changed.
What was the theme of last time?"I have to work hard and speak for my dreams. This time, the topic is: "Struggle has me, and new voices bloom." Although it has only changed "speaking for dreams" to "blooming new voices", there are some subtle differences in this. The previous slogan paved the way for those who wanted to become hosts to show themselves, but this time the focus is on selecting the voice power of the new generation, and the score is also beneficial to the young contestants.
Eighth, there are so many advertisements.
Look at this host contest, there are so many advertisements in it that people can't stand it. The whole 90-minute show was filled with so many commercials, and even the contestants had to drink that kind of advertising drink before going on stageAdvertisements take up the broadcast time, which will naturally shorten the time for the players to play on the field, resulting in the final end, the players do not give a positive shot, which makes the audience unable to feel the real atmosphere of the game.
