China News Service, Beijing, February 26 (Reporter Gao Kai) "Before everything disappears, go to arrive; Before everything disappears, go to explore; Before everything disappears, go to guard; Before everything disappears, change . "For" Chasing the Ball ", which just ended, this copy may be enough to reveal the difference between it and other tourism variety shows.
With the continuous development of the economy and society, tourism has become a way of life for many people. In recent years, tourism variety shows have come together and remain popular, mainly because it has satisfied people's dream of "going out to see the world" on a small screen. At the same time, in the development of such programs, there are many additional elements such as limited tasks, contradictions in the design of characters, and so on.

Leng Yan, Secretary-General of the World Media Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that "Little Chase" has a broadening meaning in the variety category, which is different from the "excellent" public life art experience and the "difficult" real life adventure In search of a narrative framework, the show "Loyalty" to real life is recorded and displayed, creating a "real life field" and trying to reach the true nature of "environmental protection".
And the main reason is to show these differences in the program, the intense concentration of purpose and the process of relaxing Buddhism.
In order to see the beauty that is about to disappear and to awaken everyone's awareness of protecting the earth, Huang Zitao was the sponsor of the show and invited Zhou Dongyu, Wang Yanlin and Yin Zheng to form a "chasing ball".
The show gave up its deliberate pursuit of dramatic character relationships, and collided with four people who were either upright, funny, or carelessly disparate, which may not have a catchy plot, but a relaxed and authentic atmosphere.

At the beginning of the program, the hotspot of garbage classification was closely linked, and an environmentally-friendly Q & A linked to dinner was carried out. The design of the green travel method of changing the number of steps to air tickets was also unique. Establish a connection with daily life, then enjoy a trip with guests, and deepen the understanding of environmental protection. Compared with the previous environmentally-friendly programs, the introduction of "Little Chasing the Ball" seems relaxed and happy.
From the initial jerky and timid, to the more brave and determined; from the poor understanding of ecology to the gradual embrace of nature. Positioned as "discovery" in addition to travel documentary, the show hopes to bring more refreshing and novel experiences. From Iceland, Indonesia, and Xishuangbanna, across the three zones of the earth, not only experienced the thrilling daily life of residents of Longyearbyen to avoid mutual damage with polar bears, but they also carried guns to frighten them when leaving the city; they also practiced diving and participated in Chinese scientists in Indonesia. A wild planting plan for corals under the sea.
The journey witnessed the growth story from the time dimension, and the cute nature recorded by the lens faithfully gave the audience the most intuitive visual impression in the space dimension. Through the program, we saw the aurora borealis of Iceland, the ancient lush tropical rainforest of Sumatra, and the crystal clear underwater world of Bali. However, we can not find the trace of polar bears, nor can we prevent the melting of glaciers. The vivid appearance of the ecological environment makes people feel the beauty of nature, and the changes brought by the climate can't help but be thought-provoking.
Little Chase tries to establish observations from different perspectives. The four young people, as "visitors", feel the special living forms of extreme regions, observe the earth from the perspective of "friends", and directly confront the severe test that endangered species are facing. The audience not only followed the guests to find the unknown, but also observed the way contemporary youth explored the world and treated nature, and reexamined their relationship with the earth.
"Chasing the ball" released the lost sea turtles on the show; patiently studied and overcome the fear to bathe the Sumatran tigers; playing with the Asian elephants in the sun, the harmonious coexistence of humans and animals was warmer.
In the interview with the "guardian" of the earth and the experience of environmental protection work, the audience learned the selfless dedication of environmental protection workers, and the program also used them to convey that humans are only "visitors", not "conquerors" View of the earth.
The words of the captain of the scientific research ship, who has been at the helm since 1982, revealed the distressing and environmental protection appeals to the Arctic wildlife declining and the glaciers disappearing. The most beautiful retrograde of the forest firefighters crossing the fire line is the human responsibility for ecology.
What can we do for the planet? When the former poachers became the captain of the woods and began anti-poaching, the show emphasized the power of change. Undersea wild operations to protect animal diversity, collection of forest samples of rare plants; centralized assistance for the survival and breeding of Asian elephant species; starting from each kilowatt-hour, the resource-saving "Spring City lights out for five minutes" challenge, etc., and practice environmental protection Various approaches and the vanguard consciousness of seeking ecological balance have been presented in detail.
Let the screen be realistically reproduced, extend the choices in multiple directions, and at the same time give the audience some space for thought. So under the fast pace created by successive challenges and intensive laughs, the program as a whole has a slow thinking. Of course, "Little Chase" is not perfect, but at the point where the two meet But the state is worth thinking about.
Leng Yan believes that in the ever-changing variety market, travel variety has become the standard program category for the general public. The expansion of "Little Chasing the Ball" is to expose the high-purity natural landscapes such as mountains, rivers, glaciers, and auroras, which are completely different from cities and factories, and let the audience temporarily pull away from real life to complete a quite A "time to heal" journey of time. The trip unfolded in a compact and rich manner. The form of observation is interspersed with the depth of thought in a fast-paced, high-density experimental experience.
As the exploration of the earth ’s environmental protection journey ends with the ending of the show, it seems that the environmental protection practice that we have done in real life has just begun. The reality show also uses structural balance to explore the balance between program value and social value. (Finish)
