With the continuous progress of science and technology, human entertainment activities are becoming more and more colorful, from the beginning of only being able to watch movies in the cinema, to later on TV** various programs.
After entering the millennium, in order to cater to the needs of the audience, a large number of variety shows have emerged, bringing endless happiness to the audience.
The longest of these programs has a history of 24 years, which can be described as a longevity work in the variety show industry, but with the changes of the times, they have gradually faded out of the stage of history.
These old variety shows have stopped broadcasting, which one is the most unforgettable memory of your childhood?
This variety show was not specially planned by the director, but originated from CCTV's internal Spring Festival song party. Director Meng Xin promoted the production of this show after unsuccessfully bidding for the Spring Festival Gala.
Originally just to allow the audience to enjoy the songs they are familiar with, the first performance was held in Beijing Gongti, with Faye Wong, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung and many other singers participating.
The show aroused an enthusiastic response from the audience as soon as it was broadcast, so it continued to be continued, but it was eventually forced to stop broadcasting.
"The Same Song" is essentially a large-scale concert, which requires huge expenses every time it is held, and CCTV can't afford it alone, so it was later held in cooperation with local **.
Initially, this initiative eased the pressure and boosted local tourism, but the spending was still too large, leading to a culture of comparison between cities and a serious waste problem.
The state later began to oppose extravagance and frugality, and as a result, in 2013 the suspension of "The Same Song" was canceled.
At one point, the ratings reached 518%, which has become an indelible memory in the hearts of many fans.
This variety show is a puzzle program, which has high requirements for the intelligence and knowledge level of the contestants, but the topic is not too difficult, but within a certain range, so that the audience can also benefit from it.
In addition to answering questions, contestants also have the opportunity to receive corresponding rewards. Although the game mode is very simple, it becomes not so simple with the addition of the host Wang Xiaoya, especially when she asks rhetorically in a tense atmosphere: "Are you sure?" ”
The contestants felt double the pressure while the words fell, and the audience outside the stadium also sweated for them, making this otherwise simple show even more interesting.
However, sometimes the show will ask some rather outlandish questions, such as "Peking University is not good", and even Sa Beining only scored 70 points in this show.
Some of the topics are so ingenious that they will make the audience laugh when they see them, such as how old is the old lady who is parachuting older than "Bush Sr.", and how old the turtle on the ** is.
However, every show has its end moment, and "Happy Dictionary" was eventually discontinued, although it went through several revisions.
This show is more like documenting the process of a small sports game than an entertaining variety show. Players come from different countries, and they need to get scores through competitive activities, and finally produce the champion, runner-up and third runner-up.
The contestants in this show are all ordinary people, and there are not too many celebrities. Their scoring is entirely based on individual strength, so it can be said that this show embodies the Olympic spirit of sportsmanship.
Regardless of the fierce competition on the field, the competitors always greet each other after the competition, and the crowd applauds every outstanding performance, regardless of nationality.
Between Cities is known as the pinnacle of competitive game variety shows, and it still can't be surpassed to this day. Among them, the two games of bullfighting and climbing the peak especially test the psychological quality, intelligence and physical strength of the players.
Unfortunately, the show was discontinued in 2015 and has not been rerun since, so viewers can only look for clips online if they want to reminisce.
At present, the longest-running variety show in China should be "Happy Camp", there was no "Happy Family" at the beginning, and the hosts were Li Xiang, He Jiong and Li Weijia.
The rise of Hunan TV is largely inseparable from this show. Originally, "Happy Camp" was a live show, relying on gifts and inviting popular stars as guests to attract many viewers.
Li Xiang later left, and the program of "Happy Camp" was also changed from live broadcast to recorded broadcast. Subsequently, the show followed the Korean Wave craze and became the favorite of many star-chasers.
However, this show has gradually lost its former glory, not only because several hosts have exposed a lot of black material, but more importantly, the style of the show has changed, from an interesting show to a stage where stars appear, and gradually lost its attractiveness.
This is an arena for celebrity fans to compete for rankings and give gifts, and it is also a paradise for traffic stars, lacking in-depth connotation, so it is wise to stop broadcasting in 2021.
This show is similar to "Happy Dictionary", which is also an interactive educational program, but unlike it, the atmosphere of this show is more joyful and lively.
At that time, the host Li Yong had long hair and a shawl, and his hair was dyed golden, and he often waved a small hammer in the show, and the golden eggs would break, and the golden fragments would be splashed everywhere, accompanied by the rich prizes that were given.
Li Yong's hosting style is very humorous, so it was loved by many audiences, and "Lucky 52" became a popular show at the time.
After the revamp of the show in 2007, Li Yong's hosting style changed, he played the role of a spicy teacher, and often made some unpopular questions, which led to the rapid loss of audiences.
The show, which had been on the air for ten years, was discontinued in 2008, and then the show's host, Li Yong, also died of illness ten years later.
This show should be the first in China's variety show industry, whether it is the host lineup or the participating actors, they are all carefully selected outstanding talents.
This show has invited almost all well-known CCTV hosts to host, and the artists who perform on stage include sketch actors, cross talk actors, song and dance performers and acrobats, which can be called a "small Spring Festival Gala".
Since its launch in 1990, it has firmly occupied the leading position in the ratings. The show has cultivated many hosts, such as Ni Ping and Zhou Tao, and incubated many literary and artistic celebrities, including Zhao Lirong, Feng Gong, Guo Da, etc.
Because this show simply shows performances and lacks follow-up development, coupled with the transformation of local stations into satellite TV, variety shows emerge one after another, resulting in a sharp decline in its ratings.
2004 witnessed the official end of this variety show and said goodbye to the audience.
When it comes to "Quyuan Miscellaneous Altar", it is impossible not to mention Lausanne. The "Lausanne Learning" program that year made the ratings of "Quyuan Miscellaneous" soar, but unfortunately, when Lausanne passed away, this program had not been broadcast for a few episodes, which became a big regret in the music industry.
"Variety Show" has some similarities with this show, but "Variety Show" pays more attention to national entertainment, while this show pays more attention to cultural inheritance.
Audiences can enjoy a variety of Chinese opera performances in this program, whether it is storytelling, rapping or acrobatics, there is a special program arrangement. Guo Degang once dreamed of being able to appear in "Quyuan Miscellaneous Altar", but unfortunately the show has been suspended, and he failed to realize this dream.
In the later period, due to cooperation with local governments, the quality of "Quyuan Miscellaneous" declined seriously, coupled with the gradual decline of sketch performances, and finally announced that it was officially discontinued in 2011.
In addition to the above 7 classic variety shows, there are actually many other variety shows in our childhood, which are not only good-looking and interesting, but also very real, which is completely different from the current variety shows with obvious traces of scripts.
The audience can not only enjoy a variety of excellent movies in "Screening Room 10", but also the reviews are also very sharp. "Kangxi is Coming" exposes the other side of many stars, and variety shows such as "Happy Story" and "Super Winner" are also very popular.
With the change and development of the times, they were eliminated from the market due to various factors such as not being able to keep up with the trend of the times, but they left endless happy childhood memories for the audience.
The suspension of Chinese variety shows is a historic event, but today's variety shows have not made much progress, and it can even be said that the performance is far worse than in the past. It is hoped that the current variety shows can learn lessons and bring a richer and better viewing experience to the audience.
What variety shows do you remember that gave you deep childhood memories, besides the ones mentioned above?
