  However, after the broadcast, it was Deng Chao, who was the leader of the initiator of "Creation Camp 2021", who was the first to go out of the circle. His two embarrassing expressions when he watched the initial rating performance of the trainees were widely circulated.

Some netizens ridiculed that Deng Chao's money is harder to make than Jony J's.

Netizens make emoticons

2021 draft: international men's team or attitude men's team

  In the era of the attention economy, the "awkward points" of the talent show and the "car accident scene" of the contestants no longer seem to be completely shortcomings.

They can at least increase the attention of the program. Compared with netizens complaining, the worse situation should be that no one discusses it.

  But getting out of the circle is not just as simple as blogging.

Some netizens summarized several factors that can attract traffic in the draft: personality, character, personality, appearance, and strength. Refer to the famous saying in the rice circle-"start with appearance, fall in talent, and finally character".

  It depends on the quality of the players and more on the level of the program group.

In recent years, idol talent show variety shows have exploded, and waves of young idols have quickly become popular, but many of them are "debut is the peak."

Due to the limited reserve of players and varying levels, netizens chasing talents often laugh at themselves: "We are not'youth producers', but'youth victims'."

  In order to highlight the encirclement, the style and competition system of idol talent show changes almost every year.

This year’s "Creation Camp 2021" and "Youth Have You 3", as well as Youku’s "Asian Super Star Cluster" all added international students. In particular, "Creation Camp 2021" and "Asian Super Star Cluster" also clearly marked "Building an International Male The slogan of "Republic" and "representing the level of entertainment in Asia".

  Among the 90 students of "Creation Camp 2021", there are more than 20 students from different countries such as the United States, Japan, Thailand, Russia, and Ukraine.

According to the rules revealed by the previous program, among the 11 people who finally formed the group, there may be at least 3 international students.

  The promoters of the show also embody the principle of "internationality". In addition to Tranquility, Deng Chao, Zhou Shen, Zhou Zhennan, there are also Chinese American singers, f(x) member Liu Yiyun, and Hard Candy Girl 303 member Zheng Naixin from Thailand.

  The director of "Asian Super Star Cluster" Lu Wei also revealed that his players come from nearly ten countries in Asia.

In order to match trainees from different countries, the training team is also a multinational group.

Competition system changes: open wheat, students vote together

  As for "Youth with You 3", the style is more unified. Compared with the previous season, the tutor lineup of this season has been upgraded. Li Yuchun serves as the youth PD, and Li Ronghao, Lisa and Pan Weibo serve as vocal, dance and rap instructors respectively.

In the first episode of the program, a "media press conference" was also added to present the personalities of the contestants in the form of interviews, in line with the style of their idol development department.

  Li Yuchun also proposed that the initial rating and assessment stage should be fully open to demonstrate true strength.

In recent years, the live singing and dancing ability of idols has been controversial. There are not many stages of full-open wheat, and many of them have overturned. This is probably a response to the outside world.

However, after the show was broadcast, some netizens believed that there was suspicion of sound modification.

  Regarding the criteria for selecting candidates, the instructors put forward two principles, one is to highlight individuality, and the other is to express truthfully.

These two points do match the expectations of many audiences for idols, but it remains to be seen whether it can be achieved.

  The competition system of "Creation Camp 2021" has changed significantly.

In the past, the four grades of the initial rating were all assessed by the instructors after consultation, but this year the students' performance will no longer be determined by the instructor, but by all students and instructors to vote together.

In other words, students must not only be recognized by their instructors, but also by their competitors.

  This method is more diversified in terms of evaluation criteria, but some people think that it reduces the professionalism of the instructor evaluation, and it is better to make a solid classic competition system.

International students' maintenance reduction?

  After the announcement of the competition system, Deng Chao said in the program: "I think your competition system is well formulated so that you can see the differences in the world." After the show was broadcast, "The differences in the world" became a hot topic.

  This stems from the different performances of the students at home and abroad in the initial stage.

Whether it is the champion of the World Street Dance Competition Zando, or the members of the Japanese-American men's team Mika and Hema, they left a deep impression on the audience.

Many netizens said that international students are "reducing dimensionality."

Some people also concluded that there are currently two styles of painting in the show. Domestic students are responsible for making funny comments and international students are responsible for singing and dancing.

  "Youth with You 3" is currently the most discussed XXL large-size boy group "Panda Hall".

Some people think that the appearance of the men's team is still very important.

But some netizens believe that men's teams should be diversified, and there is not only one standard answer.

  In recent years, from business capabilities to fan traffic, to the frequent "house collapse" scandals, the outside world's evaluation of idols has tended to be negative, and there have been continuous doubts about idols' popularity and strength.

After the two auditions were broadcast, some netizens complained. Some fledgling players used topics instead of strengths, mistakenly set people as personalities, mistakenly regarded greasy as handsome, and the program team had not started yet, so they wrote their own scripts. .

Do idols have more outlets?

  In fact, it is not just the idols who have caused this situation, but also the imperfect idol industry.

  There are very few stages for idols in China, and many people can only go acting or participating in variety shows after their debut.

And because the selected groups are all limited groups, they only last for one or two years.

After a wave of drafts, the production side is busy cultivating the next wave and harvesting new traffic.

Therefore, the active period of idols is also shorter.

  In such a rushed atmosphere, both the trainees and the platformers often focus on topics and personal settings, while neglecting the core competitiveness of idol groups.

Idol agency

  It can also be seen from the two programs that the number of participating agencies has increased, but the way out for the idols is not necessarily.

"Creation Camp 2021" has nearly 60 brokerage companies participating, surpassing the previous "Creation Camp 2019".

In addition to several "old" companies such as Wah Haw Wah, Jiaxing Xinyue, Yuanjihua, Jiashang Media, Panling Culture, and Wah Ou Culture, many brokerage companies are new faces.

  "Youth with You 3" has 67 brokerage companies and 119 individual trainees. Old companies are not absent, and many new companies have joined.

  Among the more than 200 students, many are familiar faces, and "tweeted pork" is no longer a new topic.

Many trainees have participated in many auditions such as "Creation Camp 2019", "Youth Name", "Idol Trainee", "Youth Have You", "In the Name of Tuan", "New Chinese Rap", "Happy Boys" and "Dance Storm". Some have more than one gear.

Many artists have participated in many talent shows

  Even if they succeed in forming a group in the end, they may face the embarrassment of "a half-life draft, but still an amateur after returning."

  There is a saying in the show business circle that "great red depends on fate", but how to maintain it after becoming red depends not only on the luck, strength and wisdom of trainees, but also on the development of the entire industry.

The talent show provides fresh blood for the entertainment industry, but how to create truly high-quality idols and allow them to develop appropriately may be the direction the entire industry needs to work on in the future.
