CCTV's 2023 host competition is about to usher in the finals, and 54 players have been eliminated in the first three stages, leaving only 6 to participate in the championship competition. But looking back on this competition, many netizens feel that it is much worse than the one in 2019.
The contestants' choice of traditional cultural themes and personal talents has become a routine for getting high scores, but this also leads to 10 topics related to traditional culture in the third stage, and the audience inevitably suffers from aesthetic fatigue.
There have been 4 years between the two host competitions, why there is such a big contrast, it should be related to the change of the competition system of the program group. This year's host contest has made great adjustments to the competition system, and it is also the place where netizens complain that one session is not as good as one session. First of all, the track is integrated and upgraded.
This year, the restrictions on professional categories have been abolished, and the literary and art and news tracks are no longer subdivided, and all contestants are on the same track, and the comprehensive quality of the contestants will be assessed in an all-round way. However, most of the exam questions are literary and artistic, which obviously suffers from the contestants in the news category.
The last session was a dual track of literature and art, and each track had its own exam questions. Secondly, the selection mechanism is fine-tuned. This year's competition has set up four stages, which are faster than the previous one, especially the third stage, which is directly 18 into 6.
Although the last edition was also 60 players and divided into 4 stages, the schedule was not so fast, which also caused the players to feel more pressure. In addition, the host's performance was also not impressive.
Commentator Kang Hui's comments are decent, the wording is colloquial, and the style lacks literary brilliance, which belongs to the formalism of the "good old man". And Dong Qing's absence is also regrettable, he has not appeared publicly on TV for more than three years, and the third season of "Reader" has not been finished until now.
Although Sa Beining has contributed a lot of golden sentences in hosting, it seems a little less meaningful to be a guest commentator. These adjustments and changes have led to a big difference between this year's host contest and the past, and also caused netizens to complain about the competition.
It remains to be seen whether future host contests will make changes to address these issues. Sa Beining: Judges' afterthoughtsThe contestants performed only once In a recent talent show, the famous host Sa Beining's comment style was controversial.
The audience pointed out that his comments were always "afterthought", giving advice to the players after the match, when in fact, the players only had one chance to perform and could not repeat it. In addition, there are strict time limits in the game, and Sa Beining's ideas for players tend to run out of time, affecting their performance.
The pace of the show was tight, but there were problems, and the audience also pointed out that the pace of the show was too fast, and the professional judges and commentators were not fully introduced. The appearance of some new faces is also not adequately introduced, resulting in the audience being left in the dark about their identity.
In addition, the host has less interaction with the contestants, and the time for commentators is also arranged too short to fully express their opinions.
In addition, the production team of this year's program has also changed, and it has been transferred from the CCTV comprehensive channel to the Literary and Art Program Center for production.
This change also brought about a change in the selection of topics and the lineup of judges, which was not friendly to the contestants who were originally news program hosts. The exam questions, judge lineup, and impromptu exam questions of the show are all biased towards literary and artistic variety shows, which adds a lot of difficulty to the contestants from the news field. The theme has been adjusted to be more beneficial to the young contestantsFinally, the audience also noticed that the theme of this year's show has changed. The theme of the last session was "Struggle with me, speak for dreams", and this year it was changed to "Struggle with me, new voices bloom".
Although it only changed "Speak for Dreams" to "New Voices Bloom", this change reflects more attention and support for the power of young new voices, and also gives young players an advantage in the competition. To sum up, the audience put forward different opinions and suggestions on the commentary, rhythm, production team and theme of the show. I hope that in the future programs, the performance of the contestants and the viewing experience of the audience can be considered more balanced, and a more perfect program can be presented for the audience and the contestants.
