Reality TV Show： Cultural Hidden Trouble Behind the Noise and Sensation

2024年3月22日 | admin | gzxq

　　[concern]

　　From the party program represented by super variety show to the game program represented by Happy Camp; From the educational programs represented by Happy Dictionary to the talent show represented by super girls, China’s TV variety shows have come all the way, and now the reality show is in the absolute majority. In recent years, all kinds of reality shows have appeared in turn, making the audience dazzled by the trend of "dominating the screen". Generally speaking, a reality show refers to a TV program made by ordinary people (non-actors) in a specified situation, in accordance with the predetermined rules of the game, for a clear purpose, and at the same time recorded. Its charm lies in the use of virtual procedures and documentary techniques to show the personality traits or technical talents of participants in a real situation. In the new communication pattern, the competitive pressure inside and outside the industry makes the reality show seek a breakthrough through introducing mode or independent innovation, on the other hand, it also exposes the deviation of some production concept and the emptiness of value core in the process.

　　What is the priority between documentary and drama?

　　In terms of expression, reality show should take objective truth as the first sign. However, in the face of the massive information, rich audio-visual content and high-frequency mobile audience’s reception habits in the Internet ecology, many reality show creators choose to deliberately implant various dramatic bridges in the program to achieve the purpose of attracting attention for a long time. As a result, the reality show with reality as its life is more and more like a film and television drama with fiction as its core, with distinct interpretations of various "roles" and a "plot" structure full of dramatic contradictions and conflict tension, and even at the end of each issue, it shows the suspense and continuity of "If you want to know what will happen next time, listen to the next decomposition". No matter the fierce confrontation caused by "small tasks" and "chasing battles" in Running Man, or the comedy effect brought by participants experiencing different careers in "The Ultimate Challenge"; No matter the contrast of character in the team travel of "Flower Boys" or the strong affection in the intergenerational interaction of "A Whirlwind du tiful son", it is the application of typical dramatic techniques and the implication of dramatic strategies. And "Creative Reality Game Show", "Full Staff Acceleration" and "Historical Experience Reality Show" and "Let’s Go Through" employ professional directors and screenwriters to elaborate "stories".The program flow is integrated into multiple time and space such as history, plot, science fiction and games, and the content and form are similar to those of film and television dramas.

　　This dramatic treatment from the inside out does enhance the appreciation and communication of the program, but for the reality show, is such deliberate subjective intervention somewhat presumptuous or putting the cart before the horse, and will it blur its essential attributes and consume its development potential in the long run? Reality shows do not exclude drama, but we should be alert to the "artificial" drama. High-quality reality shows should subtly hide the dramatic effect in objective documentary images, instead of piling up heavy drama paradigms and situations in advance when planning programs. For example, the most typical narrative mode at present is to assign tasks to each participant or each group in the form of "task cards", in which the links are set for the purpose of causing fierce confrontation, and the turning point strives to achieve the effect of "last-minute rescue". It is true that the aesthetic confluence with film and television dramas may temporarily improve the ratings of reality shows by u sing elements, paragraphs and clues similar to "characters" and "plots", but in the long run, it is likely to overdraw its unique aesthetic personality and eventually make it difficult to become "this one" in the TV variety gallery independently.

　　How to play the "star" card well

　　Nowadays, a large number of reality shows are closely linked with "stars". Due to the lure of sky-high remuneration and ultra-high exposure, many out-of-date actors and popular stars flock to the production of reality shows. Not only do they get another hit during the broadcast of the show, but even their families become popular overnight and their prices soar. It can be said that some reality shows are no longer dream platforms and interactive spaces for ordinary people, but have evolved into vanity fairs that create all kinds of entertainment gossip and lure stars to compete.

　　In July 2015 and March 2016, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television successively issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Reality Show Programs and the Notice on Further Strengthening th e Management of TV Satellite Integrated Channels, demanding that reality show programs "should be abandoned ‘ Watch by star blog ’ Misunderstanding, correct the tendency of relying solely on stars, and not turn the program into a place to fight for stars and show off wealth. ""Strictly control minors’ participation in reality shows, and they are not allowed to publicize and speculate on star children in entertainment reports and other programs. " This has largely curbed the previo us excessive star-studded momentum of such programs. However, the recent reality show has added stars with some whimsy, such as Come Champion, which brings together sports stars, The King of Cross-border Songs, which makes movie stars cross-sing, and Familiar Taste focuses on the growth experience of stars in the name of "food love". In addition, there are also some phenomena that hide people’s eyes and ears in the name of the program. For example, the original "Flower Boys" was renamed as "Flower Boys", and the second season of "Idol Comes" was renamed as "Here We Come". At first glance, it seems to weaken the star effect, but the content is changed, even worse than before.

　　Indeed, "star" is a part of popular culture, and healthy "idolize" is also a normal social phenomenon. As a TV program type covering the whole society, reality show obviously can’t shield the "star" element, but its creators should be cautious in this issue: First, they should not rely too much on stars as the whole point of view of the program, nor should they spend a lot of money to invite so-called "big names" and "big coffees" to encourage the extravagant comparison of program production; Second, we should not limit our vision to performing stars. There are many people from all walks of life who are famous for their honest work. If the star ind ividuals with more diverse identities can be integrated with the program content, it may better highlight the inspirational spirit and the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature. Third, we should devote ourselves to building civilian stars, provide a stage for the millions of ordinary people in Qian Qian to display their talents, and upgrade the quality level with humanistic feelings. After the programs such as The Voice of China, Music Master Class and the legendary swordsman used the mode of "star tutor+common people students", I want to sing with you made some innovative explorations on the interaction between stars and ordinary people. The most touching thing is that ordinar y people uploaded videos that sang with star singers in the same frame through the mobile Internet APP, and the happy scene of "singing by the whole people" in the program had a strong sense of closeness, substitution and resonance for the audience.In a word, the star in the reality show is "use" rather than "body", "technique" rather than "Tao", so we must not give up the basics.

　　How to pay attention to nutrition in entertainment

　　Obviously, the reality show can’t survive without entertainment, but if it stops at entertainment or even "entertainment to death", it will be empty and shallow, and it will inevitably lead to quick birth and quick death. For a TV program, it is really difficult to make the audience really feel "interesting"; It is even more difficult for the audience to realize "meaning" on the basis of feeling "interesting". This requires the responsibility and innovative wisdom of TV people.

　　There are several programs on the screen recently — — CCTV’s Chinese Poetry Conference, Beijing Satellite TV’s Inheritor, and Shanxi Satellite TV’s Wang Zhongwang the Linger are worthy of attention. These programs with the characteristics of typical reality shows may not be as good as some of the cases mentioned above in ratings, and there is still room for improvement in content production and process design, but they have two precious things in common: first, the spiritual core of the programs lies in spreading the essence of national culture, whether poetry, drama or intangible cultural heritage, they are carried forward through the "show" of "real people" competitions; Secondly, although there are stars in several programs, they focus on the cultural accomplishment and artistic quality of stars in many fields. As far as the stars themselves are concerned, they are in a subordinate and auxiliary position, completely serving the meaningful production of the programs.

　　Of course, the "nutrients" and "energy" of reality show are not limited to the traditional cultural dimension, and all the value orientations that inspire and guide people to be upward, kind and beautiful can be taken as the theme connotation of the program. The key is to explore the feasible path of seamless connection between spirit ual cultivation and audio-visual pleasure, that is, the ingenious creativity of entertaining, reasoning and touching the scene. For example, travel reality shows combine the display of exotic customs with the tempering of interpersonal communication; Experience reality show brings life enlightenment through dramatic identity transposition; Competitive reality shows show the courage to challenge and team spirit when showing superb skills; Song and dance reality shows bring audience audio-visual aesthetic enjoyment in tense events. All these show the ingenuity of the main creation and shi ne with the humanistic light of the program. In today’s internet communication environment, the content is varied and the quality is uneven. Some network variety shows do not hesitate to break through the moral bottom line or even the legal b oundary in order to earn eyeballs. At this time, the TV reality show can not only be influenced by it, but also lower the lower quality limit, and guide the viewing taste with sincere and nutritious creativity and production, and optimize the communication ecology.

What is the ＂intentional guardianship＂ for the octogenarian to leave 3 million properties to the fruit stall owner？ What are the benefits？

2024年3月6日 | admin | xwxq
An octogenarian in Shanghai, his wife died, and his only son suffering from mental illness died suddenly. The son’s funeral was accompanied by the stall owner who was doing fruit business downstairs, and no relatives were present. Three years ago, the old man took the stall owner to find a notary Li Chenyang to do guardianship notarization, and also gave 3 million properties to this unrelated stall owner. This incident was recently reported by the media and sparked heated discussions.
What is "intentional guardianship"?
Li Chenyang is a notary in Shanghai Putuo Notary Office. In an interview, he said that the old man and the stall owner knew each other several years ago. The old man ran to the fruit stall when he was fine, waiting for the children to go to school and chat with the stall owner. He also said that it is a comfort to an old man who lives alone at home and has no one to talk to him. It is a comfort to him to have such a place to accept him and to get what he calls family happiness.
Li Chenyang: For example, he said that my wife was gone and my son was gone. When I was helpless in my later years, there was no one to raise me. What should I do? I found someone first. I am not related to him. I am in a hurry.
The old man was anxious to find Li Chenyang, just to let the stall owner be his guardian while his consciousness was still clear. This is legally called "intentional guardianship", which is formally established in the General Principles of Civil Law and clearly stipulated in the Civil Code. It is still a new thing.
Li Chenyang said that like this old man, the scene of seeking legal help from the notary office happens every day because of an accident in his family. The old man seeks a sense of stability, and he needs a judicial department to help him solve the problem of his lack of identity.
Just like the old man, he took a fancy to a person, and this person is also willing. He needs to establish and form an identity connection between them through the way of "intentional guardianship", which is legally called the formation of judicial order.
What are the benefits of "intentional guardianship"?
As one of the earliest notaries of "intentional guardianship", Li Chenyang once handled the first effective case of intentional guardianship in China. In the notary office where he works, 80% of the cases are elderly groups like this old man who live alone, or who are widowed or widowed, and most of them are unrelated cases.
Once, the old man fell into a coma at home, which was discovered by the guardian stall owner and sent to the hospital. Without the care of relatives, the stall owner will go to the hospital after buying the goods in the morning and go home at night, day after day. Since then, the old man invited the stall owner and his wife who lived in the simple shed and their three children to live in their own house and form a special family.
Li Chenyang said that "intentional guardianship" will play an important role in some cases to avoid such a scene, and someone can help them solve it.
See a doctor: Doctors often ask the elderly, "Is the family here?" "Do you have a guardian?"
Apply for social welfare: The elderly have various social benefits, but when he goes to various departments to apply, others will also question his identity. Such an old man is not afraid of death, and he is most afraid of the painful death process. He must finish this life with dignity. "Intentional guardianship" is superior to legal guardianship, which is the glory and core point of the legal system. The purpose is the principle of autonomy, and the law guarantees the priority realization of your right to self-determination.
Daily care, serious illness treatment, hospice care, etc., "intentional guardianship" provides the bottom guarantee for widowed and lonely people seeking guardianship caused by force majeure, and it also goes beyond the possible emotional kidnapping of blood relatives, and respects the wishes of the elderly to the maximum extent.
"Intentional guardianship" needs the supervision of the third party.
However, when the old man sought custody, he gave up the property together, which surprised Li Chenyang and his colleagues. Because the distribution of inheritance is generally not linked with intentional guardianship, it is to avoid the bad intentions of guardians and accelerate the death of the elderly, which is also one of the controversial points in this case.
The work of the notary department is actually to rule out whether the elderly are deceived or coerced in the "intentional guardianship".
Li Chenyang: Non-close relatives like this may let them run many times, and consciously go may "torture" them, and (worry about the elderly) be confused, brainwashed and cheated. We professionals first understand his social circle and close relatives circle from clues or from his narrative communication, and then determine why the old man does not appoint his close relatives but a non-close relatives.
This "strange affection" between the old man and the stall owner is legalized, and it is investigated and verified beforehand, and the guardian’s behavior should be further supervised afterwards. This also means that "intentional guardianship" needs the supervision of an unrelated third party. However, the elderly feel that it is very valuable to find a guardian like the stall owner. Based on trust, he does not seek supervision measures like most elderly people, and cases like this account for about 90%.
Li Chenyang did not dare to treat this lightly. "The supervisor is similar to the secretary of the Disciplinary Committee. Sometimes, we will’ visit strangers’ and quietly enter his community without informing the elderly, and go with his neighbors, neighborhood committees or suddenly to his home to see this old man. I also often go to nursing homes, intensive care units, crematoriums, etc., because these places and scenes are what guardians need to appear, and they are also his due duties. "
Li Chenyang also said that when he visited the old man, he was radiant, and the smiling face when he saw the child was heartfelt and enjoyable.
This week, because the stall owner was selected as the guardian to deliver 3 million properties at the same time, the elderly frequently received interviews from various media, which was unbearable for relatives and friends; The guardian stall owner is also under pressure from public opinion because of the combination of real estate and guardianship.
Li Chenyang: Sometimes, I go to the ground and say that his family members are not good. I think this is unfair because they didn’t appear in the media and didn’t give them a chance to speak. As a young couple, the old man gave him such a big burden, and they were also surprised. The old man found me. Do we think this can be entrusted? Can you do it? What should I do if his family comes to me? In fact, the guardian’s worries are more complicated, including economic, physical, spiritual, and especially social censure. I think the comments on this case should be objective.
In February, the "Report" issued by the Office for Ageing showed that this year, China’s aging level will reach 17.17%. Among them, the elderly who can’t take care of themselves, such as disability and dementia, loneliness and disability, account for a certain proportion. How to make the elderly feel secure, independent and not lonely, the society needs more exploration and deep cultivation of the rule of law like intentional guardianship. Li Chenyang said, "We hope that they can live with dignity, live according to his wishes, and have trusted people to help him when he is powerless. Not only the elderly, but also myself, an ideal state for everyone. "
Bai Yansong:
The story I just finished reading is not just a problem related to the elderly. In 2019, the population aged 60 and over in China has accounted for 18.1% of the total population, and in a few years, the population aged 60 and over in China will exceed 300 million. Therefore, dealing with aging is a problem in all aspects, and one of the key points is to legislate first and complete the law, otherwise there will be many troubles in the future.

The war has pushed up the demand for weapons and ammunition, and the profits of the US defense industry are expected to continue to rise next year.

2023年12月22日 | admin | aljs
According to the report of Reuters local time on December 18th quoted by CCTV news, it is estimated that the profit of American defense industry will continue to rise in 2024. In the context of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as the United States and its allies purchase weapons and ammunition in large quantities, some large American defense companies believe that there will be strong demand in 2024.
Take the Patriot air defense missile system as an example. The US Army’s demand for missiles of this system will increase from 550 to 650 every year, and the sales alone may increase by about 400 million US dollars every year. In addition, the demand for GMLRS guided rocket system and its required solid rocket engine has also increased significantly.
Tim Cahill, who is in charge of Lockheed Martin LMT.N’s missile business, said in an interview that the demand for weapons and ammunition is not expected to decrease.
According to three sources, shortly after the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Pentagon immediately convened a meeting of the largest defense contractors to ask them to increase production.
In the past two years, the share prices of many large military enterprises have greatly outperformed the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. According to Wall Street’s prediction, the share prices of these companies will continue to rise in the future. Among them, the share prices of Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics GD.N and Northrop Grumman NOC.N are expected to increase by 5%-7% in the coming year.

In the 15th round of the French Lixion, Paris, who fought away, pulled three goals in a row first, and finally defeated Saint Etien with 3-1, scored 3 points. But after the game, many fans of Paris are not happy, because the superstar Neymar in their team is seriously injured, and he will be absent from 6-8 weeks. Neymar’s curtain performance in 2021. When everyone was still regretting Neymar, the Spanish "World Sports News" recently broke out a controversial news, and the wind direction of the fans has gradually changed from blessings to criticism!

At 10 o’clock in the middle of the night on November 29th, Beijing time, Spain’s well -known media "Daily Sports News" broke the news that Neymar was immediately treated with a brief treatment after being injured and leaving the scene. Participants listened to music, smoking smoke, and playing poker together. They kept carnival until 6 o’clock in the morning. And singer JOTTAPE also posted a photo of the two on social media early in the morning, which has also become the best evidence of the matter!

After seeing this news, many of the fans who were still worried about Neymar turned their faces directly and began to severely criticize the Brazilian foot on the Internet. Some fans left a message: "I was very distressed by Neymar. Now seeing this news, I can only say that it deserves it. Perhaps he wants to participate in the party more than the stadium." And the fans said: "After all, the fans said:" After all, the fans said: "After all It is a Brazilian, you can understand. The examples of Xiaoluo and Ade are all in front.
