"Follow the light! "Brother" is greasy? The chief producer of the show responded to the evaluation
Look, this is the middle-aged man's "de-oiling" process
After "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" broke the circle, "Catch the Light!"
"Brother" is now a hot spot again.
After the show was broadcast on Dragon TV and Youku, 21 elder brothers including Chen Xiaodong, Wang Dongcheng, Yin Xiaotian, Du Chun, Yu Mengyu and two observers, Venus and Zheng Shuang, were hotly discussed. The elder brothers were rated as "greasy" and "funny" by many netizens .
In this regard, Vice President of Youku, "Follow the Light!"
Lin Zhiqiang, the chief producer of "Brother", said in an interview with reporters recently that this program is the process of brothers' growth, "de-oiling" and self-reconciliation.
Why make this show?
Demonstrate the ability of brothers to manage themselves and build social relationships
"Follow the light!
After the broadcast of "Big Brother", people will compare it with "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves". Lin Zhiqiang admitted to planning "Catch the Light!"
"Brother" is inspired by "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", but the two are completely different from the proposition to the idea and the whole process, and they are not afraid of comparison. "Brother and sister are born CPs. Everyone discusses, pays attention and compares normally.' Sisters' "look at the occupational anxiety and age anxiety of middle-aged women, which are social pain points. However, for these older brothers, age and occupational anxiety are not their focus. Their greatest anxiety is the pressure between ideals and reality."
Lin Zhiqiang introduced that it is different from "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" and "Catch the Light!"
"Brother" focuses on the four abilities of these brothers: the first is self-management ability, including the management of body, image, stage presentation, etc., "Chen Zhipeng has lost 6 pounds since participating in the show." It is the ability to resist pressure. "Brothers’ ability to resist pressure must be amplified through the show, face pressure to resist pressure, and transform the pressure into men’s dissatisfaction, men’s resistance and stubbornness.” The third ability is to build social relationships and roles. Ability, "21 older brothers were not familiar with before. They live and perform together and need the ability to rebuild new social relationships. In addition, they have to face other people such as Jin Xing and Zheng Shuang, how to get along with each other, How to show their personality is the ability that brothers need to learn." The fourth ability is professional ability, to see if their professionalism can support this stage.
"The focus of this program is to respond to the four abilities of middle-aged men, and the stage presents the assessment of these abilities at an artistic level. At the same time, we also hope that through this program, we will give everyone a better understanding of middle-aged men. Be tolerant and see the shining points on them." Lin Zhiqiang concluded.
What are the criteria for solicitation?
Do you want to pass the show
Create a brand new self
"Follow the light!
Based on what criteria are the 21 older brothers selected in "Brother"?
Lin Zhiqiang described it as "careful selection": "Whether it is popular or whether it is a traffic coffee in the traditional sense is not what we care about. Our core concern is whether he has a dream and whether he hopes to shape a brand new self through this program."
Lin Zhiqiang revealed that they invited many artists and crews: "Several artists can’t participate because of time and schedule. This is the first difficulty; the second is that many male artists participating in this show will feel that this is a popular show. Saying'I don't want to be popular, I don't think I'm too angry'; the third difficulty is that the talents of reality shows are very demanding. Some brothers' talents cannot support 12 episodes, so they can only give up regretfully."
"The richness and diversity is what we hope to present. Our selection criteria are whether they have persistence and desire, whether they want to discover and know themselves more." Lin Zhiqiang said.
Among the many older brothers at present, the sesame seed is very popular. Lin Zhiqiang said, "I am very proud to choose the sesame seed, and the effect is very good. Compared with other brothers, he is a little different, but it makes you very comfortable."
Regarding the performance of these brothers on the show as cute and funny, Lin Zhiqiang revealed that they are such people in life. "Our show must be to restore the truth and restore life, and to enlarge their personality through reality shows. Lovely places will also be enlarged."
What does "brother" want to express?
It’s not a turnaround and reversal, the tension of the show is growth
The influence of the program will definitely be accompanied by controversy, and the "greasy" evaluation has not deviated from their preset.
In this regard, Lin Zhiqiang said, “Greasy is a labelled and facialized expression for middle-aged men. Is your brother greasy? This is the question that our program wants to answer, and it is also a question that middle-aged men want to answer."
Lin Zhiqiang said, "Follow the light!
"Brother" is to show the process of "de-oiling" the brothers.
"Showing their cute side, showing their persistence to ideals, their true temperament and their dreams on the stage. This is what we want to strengthen our expression. Star making is not the purpose of our program, our purpose is to portray middle-aged men. Image. We hope to focus the lens on middle-aged men. Mature artists such as 40+ and 30+ are facing the pressure of ideals and reality. How do they "de-oil" under pressure, so as to show the unique charm of men at this stage. "He believes, "A good show is either infinitely close to reality, or it is a dream for the audience. "Catch the light! Brother" is a program that is infinitely close to reality, so the audience will see that these brothers are not perfect at first, but They will work hard and improve."
Growth is not static. Growth is an eternal proposition. Even if these older brothers have reached middle age and have achieved results, they still have to grow. This program shows this dynamic process.
"For example, explain the crab dance. Ming Dao has been an overbearing president for many years, but he will dance the cute crab dance on the show. The brothers are constantly learning new things, absorbing new nutrition, and trying their best I hope that there will be more adhesion and interaction with the audience after 00. This is the side of growth. You can also see that their ability to withstand stress and their ability to reconstruct social relationships will continue to improve in the process of this program. We hope to see The growth of a person, whether you are 40 or 20 years old, will continue to grow. So the drama of this show is not a turnaround and reversal, the tension of this show is growth."
Venus and Zheng Shuang are too "poisonous"?
Women’s perspective enriches the show
As observers of the show, Jin Xing and Zheng Shuang's "poisonous tongue" can be described as "heart-struck" to the brothers.
For example, Jin Xing said that he only remembers first-tier stars, "If I can't name them, then they are still dangling on the second and third lines."
Zheng Shuang also commented on his elder brother's appearance, saying that his elder brother was not as high as he imagined, and the two still chatted about their brothers' gossip like "melon-eating people".
The audience also received mixed praise and criticism for Venus and Zheng Shuang's "open mouth".
Talking about why Jin Xing and Zheng Shuang were chosen as observers, Lin Zhiqiang said that because the audience is familiar with them.
"Follow the light! Brother" is output from a female perspective. We think observers must have clear views and positive values. Jin Xing and Zheng Shuang are not pretending, and they are very sharp. They are not malicious or grandiose comments. They like brother very much. The relationship with my brother is very good, and their comments are expectations and spurs for my brothers. In addition to Venus and Zheng Shuang, there are also 300 post-80s and post-90s female audiences. The introduction of female perspectives enriches the program and makes this The program is more complete, complete and three-dimensional."
Lin Zhiqiang denied the question from netizens about whether these words of Jin Xing and Zheng Shuang were scripted, "Without script design, this is their true reaction and real feeling."
As for the observers being criticized for "judges people by appearance," Lin Zhiqiang admitted that this is a situation that society cannot avoid.
"But behind judging people by appearance is that they gradually see their brothers’ efforts and their diversified charms. For example, Venus didn’t know Fu Longfei at first, but just thought he was good-looking. After Fu Longfei performed in the second episode, he Say, "Sister Jin, I care about whether you can remember my name." This goes beyond simple knowing or not knowing, it involves mutual recognition between men and women. Venus said: "I not only remember you And I believe you can come out. "As the show continues to be broadcast, their character and charm will be more diverse."
Lin Zhiqiang said that the process of elder brother's "oil removal" is by no means as simple as improving his appearance through fitness.
"The real'de-oiling' is a character portrayal. Brothers have a hardworking side and a lovely and true temperament. We hope to convey something positive and hope that the audience will have a sense of empathy. Easy and hard work. Hard work is not a slogan effort in the traditional sense, but being responsible for life and for oneself. I hope that the audience can reflect on their own body after seeing the hard work of the brother, so that they can also Some growth.” This is also the program titled "Catch the Light!"
"Brother", Lin Zhiqiang said: "In pursuit of the light in the heart, what we want to convey is that every man must pursue an account of himself. We have many roles in the workplace and in life. Choose what we insist on in our hearts, Something not to give up, this is our definition of light."
