A few weeks ago, Little Big stars launched on the MBC network, the program of Egyptian comedian Ahmed Hilmi, a famous version of Steve Big's famous Little Big shots. The idea of ​​the basic program is to host children with different talents and abilities, or children who have achieved a mass audience through Social Media on an occasion. Steve Harvey talks to them about their talent or their audiences. The talk is basically a comedy based on the wit and innocence of children's views. Presented by Ahmed Helmy follow the same approach as the original, the only thing is that the program in its Arabic version does not draw attention and does not carry the same spirit of the original program.

Ahmed Helmy vs Steve Harvey

Steve Harvey is an American actor, producer, writer, and programmer. He has won several awards in the field of television work. His relationship books have been translated into more than one language and have always been the world's bestseller, offering more than one successful TV show, one named Steve Harvey show. "Little Big Shoots" is a reward for those who attend the program from the children. They are always called by Mr. Steve, who speaks with them with the utmost confidence and sense of humor. Even his body language expresses his pride in being Mr. Steve, yet he knows how to take the laughter out of the audience and the children. The program is both.

Ahmed Helmi is also a comedian, has written experiences and offers artistic contests with the greatest Arab stars. In his early days, Ahmed Hilmi introduced many children's programs, but in his little big stars he can not reach Hala Steve Harvey. He leaps on the stage once, tries to climb the chair once, and moves in a clumsy way. These are legitimate ways of extracting laughs, but they are not suitable for the quality of this program, especially since there is something we can call reference for comparison. In a meeting Hilmi hosts a girl from Jordan who remembers his name in the middle of the speech. He cries out of surprise that she knows his name and knows him, as if he is not a star and a famous media face. Perhaps this is precisely the difference between Ahmed Hilmi and Steve Harvey. Araba.

Copy is not imitation

There is a real problem with the makers of entertainment programs in the Arab world, they can not distinguish between Arabization and imitation, all the successful programs have copies all over the world, for example Got Talent has more than one copy, a British version and a US version and an Arabic version and a Latin version, likewise our program Which we are talking about today.

In one of the episodes of the Arab program, Ahmed Hilmi imitates a position with Steve Harvey and one of his guests when he discovered that they were wearing identical trousers and shoes. In fact, my dream did not need to mimic the situation exactly as it did, on the one hand because Steve Harvey's position with the child is very famous On the social media, even for Arab users, and on the other hand because this particular child who imitated the situation with him was very light blood and his paragraph was enjoyable without imitating anyone.

It is understood that the Arabic version must differ from the Western versions of many factors, but the program in its copy is an unusual tradition of the original version, especially if we look at the talent that hosts, one time hosted a child Shami shaving with his father, She sang like any other girl without anything special and is one in ten for Greek, nice and beautiful children dressed in beautiful clothes, and enjoying the spontaneity of the usual children, their paragraphs would be more enjoyable if he held a dialogue with them without talking about the capabilities and talents.

The talk here extends to the interest of the producers and producers of the program to be on the required level of professionalism, especially with the production of this magnitude and on a network of great importance in the Arab media market, such as the MBC network, one of the paragraphs was a recycling for the same talk and facts that have revived the media media since A few months with great waves of irony and bullying. If the children are looking for fame at the expense of their child, the producers of such a huge program should not fall into the same trap.

Why do not you notice?

Although the program is broadcast on one of the largest networks of Arab television, and although Ahmed Hilmi is very popular, but the program draws attention and drew attention and talk about almost one, although it is a copy of one of the most famous foreign programs. This may be due to the fact that the program did not offer the expected level of wit like its original version, and perhaps the poverty of talent on stage, which makes you feel that they come with any children to fill the time with no added value, and perhaps because the pace of the program is slower than to attract the attention of the viewer.

And perhaps because the market is saturated with this kind of programs that are based on talent, large theaters, mass production and bright decorations, programs that imitate foreign copies without real spirit, without paying attention to the nature of the audience receiving this type of programs, which is definitely different from the American or British recipient.

Although the program has the usual journalistic attention to this type of program, it is only about the characteristic thin paragraphs of blood, which are not the core of the program, and no one notices that each episode is "stuffed" with many of the weak paragraphs that were It can be dispensed with or replaced by a normal child talk. Ahmed Hilmi is talented in this area and can have very nice conversations with children that you can see in the talent programs that are part of the judging committee or in the old children's programs he has given.
