Last month, the theatrical movie "The Determination to Runaway" scored 8.9 points on Douban, and on the variety show stage of the sixth episode of the recent "Talk Show and Ta's Friends", actress Echo's talk show about her second sister running away from a patriarchal family only received the lowest 105 votes in the audience.
But then, this paragraph was turned crazy on Weibo.
In a family where "you don't fight if you have good grades", "your son doesn't fight", and "you have to work hard to be as effortless as your son", the second sister Echo, who has a very rigid personality and is always beaten, ran away from home at the age of 14 and has been gone for 14 years. Echo said that just a few days ago, the second sister had bought two sets of egg scones in Luohu District, Shenzhen. The stalk is delicately turned, but it's a little hard to laugh at.
Frankly speaking, Echo's text is not very good, even a classic so-called "not funny talk show", but that doesn't prevent it from becoming a classic. Echo is an idealist, and when she first appeared on stage to encourage everyone to "May you get out of your own mountains", she hopes that the story of the second sister's version of "The Determination to Runaway" can inspire more women who are trapped in their original families, and for this reason she is not afraid of elimination, so she wants to tell this.
More talk show actresses are "on the table", which is a hot topic inside and outside the variety show industry recently, which stems from a group phenomenon visible to the naked eye. In the two hit comedies of "Talk Show and Ta's Friends" and "The King of Comedy Stand-up Season", there are more and more sharp and vigorous female talk show works, and they are getting better and better-
Cai Cai boldly ridiculed the shame of menstruation to earn back the "funds", Tang Xiangyu sharply complained that the "in-laws will laugh" is a pure PUA technique to urge marriage, Yu Zhen opened a choking male rapper is the HPV communication ambassador, Zhang Hui angrily scolded the gender double standard, asked why no one praised the strong woman "good woman", Qi Qi reconciled with the plus-size body, and proudly said that he would take over the mantle of his predecessors and strive to "go to the table" to eat enough......
Dare to say it but the ticket is low, this is the red and black side of women's talk shows, but nothing can stop the surging tide of talk show actresses "on the table" one after another. This year, Zhao Xiaohui and Bu Jingyun's elimination speeches, one shouted "I don't like actresses to leave and say that they want to cultivate offline, we should stay on the stage to shine", and the other insisted "I hope that actresses will no longer converge on stage, I will never change", the next day's topic #脱口秀不能没有女演员和女嘉宾# has been on the Weibo high hot search list for a long time.
Talk shows can't do without women, and so can variety shows. Recently, I often heard peers say that variety shows have the highest requirements for value in long video products, and from Yang Li's male joke being cyberbullied to her new work, she firmly encouraged actresses "We will talk about this in the future", you will understand - when women bring diverse and rich in-depth expression, this is the biggest harvest of the variety show industry this year.
When more women pick up the microphone
Times are progressing when more women are taking up the microphone.
In the early years on the talk show stage, due to the scarcity of female practitioners, Siwen once monopolized the "Queen Mother of Talk Show" track, and later Yang Li's male out of the circle was also surrounded by public opinion because of his loneliness.
But this year, the full flowering and over-excellence of actresses have become a new phenomenon that cannot be ignored in the two talk show variety shows (there are a total of 27 actresses exposed in the feature films of the two shows). When more women picked up the microphone and chatted about topics such as menstrual shame, patriarchy, marriage anxiety, betrothal, strong women, and female inheritance rights, which seemed to be very large at first glance, more real and vivid female individuals were seen.
Of course, the controversy in the field of public opinion also came as scheduled. But the point of accusation seems to be cliché, either saying that they are provoking gender antagonism and always talking about these things is boring, or criticizing them for talking about women's plight in a small pattern and not funny.
We respect these accusations, but Rhino Jun's point of view is the opposite, we think that there are some things that some people want to cover up, and many misunderstandings stem from the society's choice to turn a blind eye to the very common plight of women, so we encourage actresses to continue to talk about these more, because gender issues in current variety shows are not talked about too much, but too little.
Just because we don't dare to talk about some issues doesn't mean they don't exist. For example, menstrual shame. There is a saying that it is non-toxic, when Caicai talks about the experience of sudden menstruation in the middle of the night, how absurd is the takeaway errand boy who buys sanitary napkins like an undercover agent and says that 290 mm is 290 cm (two meters nine), and we can realize how absurd the misunderstanding and shame of menstruation is.
Do you think it's just a female perspective? In this section of Caicai, the protagonist of the comedy is precisely a man, the errand boy who lifts sanitary napkins like a thief, and the male star who endorses sanitary napkins because of "large traffic". Do you guess why the paragraph of talking about women's private affairs can laugh at men, women and children to win 192 high votes, it is not that Caicai has revealed some truths about collective psychology and reached a wide resonance. Therefore, talk show actresses are not all "not funny", Xiaolu and Caicai are good counterexamples, good creation requires time precipitation and experience accumulation, please give the actresses more tolerance and patience to let them grow slowly.
There are some problems that they always talk about, precisely because there are always difficulties. The reason why Rhino Jun was shocked by Echo's expression this year is because we always thought that the problem of patriarchy in today's society should have disappeared long ago, but when Echo, a Tujia girl who passed the mountain, talked about the second sister and the "mountain" of the original family several times, even if her posture is cool and calm, you can still hear the echo of family trauma rustling in the growth of East Asian women.
Talk show is the art of offense, but also the art of dissolution, and another unique value of women's talk show is that the speaker says what they want to say for girls who dare not speak out. This process is not only self-elimination, but also a gift of roses.
Both belong to the "Chubby Girl" track, Qi Qi in "The King of Comedy Stand-up Season" and Shanhe in "Talk Show and Ta's Friends" are the most sensitive and inferior groups, but Rhino Jun saw the most confident flash and the most vivid vitality of talk show actors in them.
For Yang Tianzhen's "beautiful, confident and generous together", he called on all girls to say goodbye to body anxiety and shouted out the new era female declaration of "I want to fight for food on the table"; Shanhe also refused to lose weight kidnapping, and her first reaction to the admonition of a male colleague who said "I will marry you if you lose weight" was "hurry up and eat two more bites", and her eyes lit up throughout the whole process, and she was really not anxious about eating. Therefore, the real girls help girls is that when excellent women jump out of social discipline and live a beautiful and confident self, more girls will be inspired by it to grow and transform.
The female perspective is a variety show bonanza
The times are advancing, when variety shows show more female perspectives.
From the overall point of view, the rapid growth of talk show actresses over the years has indeed made the variety show industry see more content possibilities. For example, Yang Li, who wants to "go to the table", finally completed the leap of the identity of the chief screenwriter of "The King of Comedy Stand-up Season" this year, but she still empathizes with the current general expression dilemma and low score dilemma of actresses, and her latest golden sentence "You don't know how many wounds are quietly healing this time, is this the silence of the cold field, this is the voice of flesh and blood growing crazy" is like blowing the clarion call for actresses to continue to speak bravely.
For example, Zhao Xiaohui, the god of ancient Greece in charge of elimination speech, her sentence "actresses should stay on the stage to shine" is not just talking, she really brought a female variety show project to the show. Actresses should be brave enough to show their ambitions, who dares to say that there will be no place for Zhao Xiaohui in the variety show market in the future?
Moreover, her variety show is indeed a popular track in the industry in recent years, and variety shows under the banner of an all-female lineup have sprung up. However, it should be noted that there are many programs that purely rub the traffic of gender topics, and the focus of women's programs is to dig out more real and vivid individual women's stories.
The diverse and vivid female perspective is a rich mine of variety shows, and women's sensitivity, delicacy, and empathy can usually nourish fertile content materials and provide the core emotional value to variety show audiences, which is also one of the reasons why female guests such as Li Xueqin, Yang Li, Zhang Yuqi, Yang Tianzhen, and Chen Luyu frequently shine in various variety shows.
Obviously, the current women's variety show track is far from being fully developed, and many programs in the past only used women as pure "traffic" and "topics", and did not carefully present the individual consciousness of diverse women's free stretching.
In the old traditional society, women could not eat at the table, which was a very classic symbol of gender asymmetry. In today's talk show industry, variety show industry and even more industries, when more and more women boldly shout out the industry declaration of "going to the table" to eat and eat, the balance of gender power under the patriarchal society will be tilted, which will bring us closer to the real "equal rights".
