the male guest put on a mask, and the female guest couldn't tell them apart

recent"heartbeat》 was played by the whole network and became popular...

i started watching heartbeat in 2018 and i am very familiar with the tone of this show. i saw the whole network making memes... as an old fan, i have something to say.

strong's famous scene of being ridiculed by the crowd

i watched the full version of strong's famous scene, and there are some differences between it and the cut version.

this famous scene occurred during the dinner session when the male and female guests first met. the female guest qingya, the male guests oscar and tomo sat close to each other. when they chatted, they found that they all had studied in the uk, so qingya asked, "what is your favorite (uk) city?"

in the eyes of old fans of xindong, this segment is a very classic "awkward chat" segment when ordinary people meet each other. it is not worthy of being edited into the main film and will only be added in the extended version. unexpectedly, it became the first "strong famous scene" of this season's program.

"heartbeat 7" tells the story of the greater bay area. the two male guests are from hong kong. the living environment has brought about different language habits. the two places also have different translations of place names and some specific objects. for example, hong kong people tend to call manchester manchester city. perhaps they are worried that the other party will misunderstand, so they temporarily "switch chinese to english", but they didn't expect to cause greater misunderstandings...

as an old tvb fan, i remember a famous scene in a hong kong drama called "chinese-english cutting".

some strong expressions do exist, such as deliberately cueing one's own brilliant experiences: studying in the uk, liking surfing, driving a boat, ordering a song by the weekend, etc.

this deliberate lack of awareness is related to the fact that it is a first date, one is anxious to leave a good impression on the opposite sex, and being pointed at by multiple cameras, so one becomes restrained and over-exerting in expression.

especially tomo's stiff chin-holding action, which really looked like he was deliberately showing off his watch. as a result, netizens took off the photo and found out that it was just a longines that working-class people could afford.

if you turn your attention to the later episodes, their performance will seem much more natural.

it was in the third episode, when tomo met the new girl he liked, qiqi, that he started to express himself "overdoing it" again.

he was working out in the gym, and qiqi walked in to say hello. perhaps wanting to show off his muscular lines, tomo actually ran to change the dumbbells. just as he put on a weight, qiqi said, "then you go ahead and get busy." then she turned and left.

no, why are you still practicing at this time? maybe this guy is just such a silly guy who likes to act like a choker in private. (i thought of many people in an instant)

where are the guests on dating variety shows dug out?

after the famous scenes of strong were circulated in the form of clips, netizens formed the impression that the guests of today's dating variety shows are "all elites". graduate students from prestigious universities and overseas students are very common, and employees of large companies are also frequent guests. as a result, there are sayings that "dating variety shows cannot accommodate second-tier universities" and "students from second-tier universities are not worthy of watching dating variety shows."

in fact, the term "second-tier romance variety show" is more like a meme concept. after all, i have asked many romance variety show directors privately, and they are more concerned about the guests' character than their college entrance examination scores - they are afraid that their shows will fail as soon as they go on air.

there was a dating variety show before, and the day before it was to be aired, it was revealed that the female guest already had a stable boyfriend, and that she was only appearing on the dating variety show as a form of notification.

in order to control risks, strict dating variety shows often spend several months screening guests, having all-round contact with them, going deep into their lives and social circles, and getting to know the guests' true character from their parents, colleagues, and friends.

through long-term investigations at different levels and in multiple dimensions, confidence in the guests is ultimately established, thereby reducing the probability of "collapse". some dating shows will also sign corresponding commitment agreements before the show begins, using two levels of power to ensure safety.

next, the dating variety show will select guests who fit the tone of the program based on the original intention and values ​​of the program.

the highlights of many korean dating variety shows are the fierceness and violence, so during the casting stage, they will specially select guests with sharp personalities and radical views on love.

the "heartbeat" series has always been a bit idealistic. at a screening before the show was officially broadcast, the show's producer revealed to me that the starting point for making "heartbeat" was to "use a beautiful love story to increase everyone's yearning for love and to resist negative energy."

according to her, the selection criteria for the program mainly include three aspects:

1. be single and truly want to fall in love; 2. have your own industry that you are deeply involved in and work hard for it, and have a positive attitude towards life; 3. have your own positive emotional outlook and passionately believe in love.

based on these, the program team contacted 8,000 people, interviewed more than 300 people, and took into account the differences of the guests, and finally found 12 people to participate in the program.

the advantage of carefully selecting guests is that the program guests have excellent character and personality, are highly sincere, and can fully help the program output positive value. even if they are put online and judged by acquaintances, they will receive positive reviews from all and have no negative information.

the disadvantage is now very obvious, which is that it will make ordinary audiences feel a sense of distance, and make netizens feel that they are not like people around them.

so, why is there no “second-tier romance variety show”?

as for netizens’ suggestion to watch “second-tier college love variety shows”, i don’t think they are trying to customize college love variety shows or elite love variety shows.

after all, the newly joined female guest qiqi was also "judged" because of her school. it was said that she studied in a private second-tier university, while she was studying in tsinghua university and peking university in beijing last season.

a similar case happened to peng gao. before the main episode was broadcast, photos of him riding a shared bicycle to work were exposed. this season of "heartbeat" was once mocked as a "poverty alleviation" romance variety show, which is in stark contrast to the current trend of denouncing the elites.

in fact, what most netizens really expect issince this is a variety show, we should not discriminate among the guests or divide them into classes. we should make it a "down-to-earth love variety show."

the fact is, "heartbeat" did not deliberately label the guests' educational level, and "down-to-earth romance variety shows" do exist. they have always existed. in fact, the romance variety show category has been the "second-tier down-to-earth romance variety show" that netizens have seen since its inception.

in 1998, hunan tv's "rose date" was the first marriage and love program on mainland tv media.

the program was originally positioned as a love and marriage matchmaking program, but it was repeatedly revised and began to focus on young men and women making friends and dating. it would go to outdoor locations such as zhangjiajie and yanling for recordings, and arrange some "two-person tasks" to allow the guests to choose each other after each round of interaction. later, it tried to change to a "love 1:3" mode of three men chasing one woman. the female guests would date the male guests separately and then decide on their ideal candidates - this is a bit like today's dating variety shows.

around 2010, the pace of modern life continued to accelerate, and young people began dating and making friends faster and faster. speeddating (eight-minute dating) began to become popular in china.if you are the one》was born at this time.

the 24 female guests decide whether the male guests stay or leave by turning on and off the lights. the success of the quick matching of male and female guests can be determined through three steps, which is very efficient.

at that time, if you are the one was also very popular, and even successfully broke the age barrier, becoming a family-friendly program that parents and young people could watch together. some male guests who failed to get together would leave their contact information on the program, waiting for the right person.

i know an elder who once silently copied down the phone number of a financial talent and asked his daughter to go on a blind date. the girl had a good impression of him on the show and agreed to have dinner with the talent. as a result, the other party asked arrogantly: "do you know how much money i might lose by meeting you?"

in the less than 10 minutes of the show, the girl could never imagine that he would be such an arrogant and rude person.

as the audience threshold increases, simply being "down-to-earth" is no longer enough to attract viewers. in order to increase the highlights, romance shows have begun to change in the direction of "strong dramatic conflict", "class clash", and "famous scenes".love defense"the perfect holiday" and even "the perfect holiday" have produced many bloody and exaggerated famous scenes, and "gold digger"manojust a victim of the bloody scene.

it was not until it aroused audience disgust that the "down-to-earth" dating variety show was put to rest for a period of time.

"heartbeat" was born during this blank period.

it opened a new era of dating variety shows with the texture of idol dramas, strict selection criteria, and a fresh and pure love style. it met everyone's expectations for a "textured" love, so it was sought after by the audience as soon as it was launched. it was considered a very innovative concept at the time.

that’s when i started to get into it…

the first love cp i like is "the chosen cp"

"heartbeat" has been using these program standards and values ​​for seven years, and in the eyes of old fans, the values ​​have not shifted this season.

for example, i like peng gao very much this season. he is an ordinary kid who became outstanding by his own ability. gao was admitted to zhongda university for undergraduate and jiaotong university for graduate. after graduation, he found a job he liked, established himself in a big city, and then began to explore his own love...

the object of peng gao's affection is qingya, whose educational background and upbringing are completely different from his own. when facing the person he likes, he always stutters when he opens his mouth.

he had his own way of expressing his love, such as stealing glances at qingya uncontrollably, taking off his shoes to walk with her on the grass, and deliberately staying beside her to read her favorite book "siddhartha".

it was so slow that yufan next door couldn't stand it anymore, and the god came to assist and said, "you need to catch up." the words are related. on the surface, they are referring to the progress of reading, but actually they are referring to the progress of taking the initiative.

in the latest episode of the masked ball, qing ya finally responded to peng gao's 0.5x speed and turned around for peng gao.

according to official data, "gaoya cp" is currently ranked first in popularity, with a popularity value exceeding 2.5 million on the tencent cp list, becoming the top 1 cp topic on weibo.

as for qing ya, her first crush was actually oscar. oscar is an aggressive person in his career and has the most experience this season.

he was also very firm in his attitude towards the girl he loved. after just a few days of dating, he used his only midweek date card and invited le yan to dinner.

during the date, le yan repeatedly asked oscar: do you know the importance of this date card? do you know that each male guest can only use it once? oscar answered very firmly every time: yes, i know.

in addition to watching these beautiful loves, i will also watch skills, friendship, social interaction, and the nourishment of beautiful youth...

for example, when it comes to a classic love exercise like "if the person i like doesn't like me back, should i continue the relationship?" yu fan wisely proposed the concept of "separation of issues": his entanglement has nothing to do with me, it's his issue.

yu fan's crush is muchen. although he is low-key, muchen is the most popular guest in the cabin because everyone can feel that his kindness and friendliness are directed towards everyone, not just specific people.

i understand everyone's aversion to the "love-brained" and "strong" brother in recent years, but without having seen the full film, it is really unfair for old fans to completely deny it based on a few cuts or even the bloggers' secondary creations.

this problem is easy to solve.there is no need for romance variety shows to deliberately balance the academic qualifications of the guests. when this wave of collective emotions and social trends gradually become rational, we will look back and we will definitely see these shining points., such as the guests’ sincerity, courage, determination and wisdom.

sister e’s conclusion:

i noticed a high-scoring comment: "i haven't talked about love at all, but i haven't missed any episodes of love variety shows." according to the latest broadcast data, "heartbeat 7" has entered the tencent video variety show hit club and topped the douyin and weibo variety show charts.

this is probably also the characteristic of young people of this era: on the one hand, they shout that they don’t believe in love, while on the other hand, they are obsessed with cp.

modern young people have a different attitude towards love“avoidant attachment”they are in a state of clearly needing love in their hearts, but due to various concerns, they choose to avoid love and the opposite sex in real life, and would rather hide on the sofa and watch idol dramas and dating variety shows.

they feel that the guests on dating shows feel distant, which is most likely due to the emotional disconnection and alienation caused by overly streamlined social interactions.

in the program, the foreigner mi die once told yu tong that kazakhwhen expressing "i like you", we say "i see you clearly".

"heartbeat" is a bit like a love version of "taohuawu", "forcing" a group of young people not to lie on the sofa or use their mobile phones after a day's work, and putting them together in two beautiful fairy tale cottages. in this space, individuals can see each other clearly, their thoughts can collide, and heartbeats and love occur naturally.

le yan said that the pace of life in the cabin is slow and relaxing, which shows that good social interaction can actually recharge and provide emotional value. at the same time, she is a little worried that if she leaves the cabin, will her life go back to the way it was before?

the program team created such a scene not entirely out of idealism, but also to encourage every young person to have more contact with real opposite sex after get off work, engage in healthy social interaction, and after "seeing" each other, apply the getting-along skills seen in the dating variety show to real life, so that they can become better versions of themselves in their emotional lives and love others better.

no matter how the times change or how collective thoughts fluctuate, love is worthy of attention in any era. people's need for love remains unchanged, and their yearning for the beauty of love remains unchanged.

the birth of "heartbeat" carries a beautiful original intention, and its values ​​have never changed.as an old fan, i hope that while you find the strong scenes "funny", you can also click into the main film to see the true faces of these young people, and find the projection of your self-consciousness in your favorite dating show guests or cps - maybe the cp you are supporting is the kind of love you yearn for?
