Chapter 53: We Don't Objectify Women

The selection circle of "Girls' Generation" is not completely equivalent to the "Super Girl" that will be broadcast on Mango Channel in another month. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It is impossible to bring all the girls that the "Super Girl" project would have attracted to Wu Yue Satellite TV to participate in the show.

Despite the BUFF bonus of Gu Cheng, the national male god, Wu Yue Satellite TV's "Girls' Generation" program has far exceeded the "Super Girl" program to female students.

The main reason for this phenomenon is that there is not enough experience...... Ah no, it's because the positioning of these two programs is different in the initial personnel selection.

Super girl, as the name suggests, is 100% the pursuit of girls singing well, as long as the timbre is good, the vocal range is wide, the singing skills are excellent, and it doesn't matter if you look ugly.

And Girls' Generation, after all, originally originated from Eslite Film and Television auditioned for the heroine and some small supporting roles for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Because the role of Zhao Linger did not require acting skills at the beginning, only beauty pageants remained.

Gu Cheng has never shy away from saying this, and he also admitted it so sincerely when faced with questions from the media.

"Everyone Searching for Stars" is a beauty pageant.

Wu Yue Satellite TV, when taking over the inheritance of "Everyone Searching for Stars" and running his own talent variety show, he naturally will not sit still, just rely on these vases with only good looks to support the show, and will also add fresh blood. After several months of preparation and promotion, attracting girls to take the initiative to sign up, and finally before the show started, a total of more than 2,000 girls were attracted to enter the official competition stage in each competition area.

The number of direct participants inherited from "Everyone Search for Stars" is about 500, and they are all those who have passed the "Everyone Search for Stars". In other words, the people brought in by Wu Yue Satellite TV's own promotion still occupy the mainstream of the program.

But overall, the average appearance of the contestants of Girls' Generation is higher than that of Supergirl, and the average singing skill is worse than that of Supergirl, so there is no way.

Gu Cheng didn't know that the girls who sang brilliantly but had touching looks in the history of parallel time and space still chose Super Girl as a platform to exert their popularity, and they were unwilling to come to Girls' Generation to join in the fun. For example, Wang Ti, the runner-up of the original 04, as well as Sun Yibu, Yin Tingting, and Chen Wenya, who had good results, were not qualified to participate in the "Everyone Star Search" because of their appearance at the beginning, and finally out of self-esteem, they were resistant to "Girls' Generation" and did not come.

And An Youqi, Zhang Hanyun, and Zhang Yue, who are relatively beautiful and have good voices, were successfully intercepted by Girls' Generation.

At the same time, because the two TV stations have programs at the same time, the competition for girls has become more intense. The scale and social influence of pulling people are also higher than those of the same period in history. As a result, many girls in parallel time and space who initially chose a wait-and-see attitude and will only participate in Supergirl in the next year or two have now entered the arena ahead of schedule.

For example, Li Yuchun, Zhou Bising, and Ji Minjia, who were not good-looking, went to Mango Terrace. Zhang Liangying and He Jie, who are beautiful in appearance, came to Wuyue Satellite TV, and Tang Xiao went directly to "Fairy Sword" by mistake, and completely passed by the girl singer talent show.

All of a sudden, a group of females porridge porridge, choppy waves.

……

Tonight on TV, groups of girls passed by one by one, and each of them only had time for one song.

Because of Wang Ti's withdrawal, Zhang Hanyun should have been more likely to stand out in the southwest region, but Zhang Liangying, who was originally going to come to grab business next year, came out of nowhere, which once again put pressure on the 14-year-old Lori.

Fortunately, it is only in the preliminaries, and some players with poor levels can be eliminated, but it is not dangerous that the strong will directly meet hard.

"You seem to be very optimistic about that Zhang Hanyun, is it because she looks cute and has a cute temperament?" Pan Jieying knows Gu Cheng best, and even Gu Cheng's eyes when he looks at a girl, she can see whether Gu Cheng is interested in the other party.

She asked the question during the intermission when the ad was playing, and her tone was slightly sour.

"It's okay, the main thing is that I know this girl well, when the original actor was brushed down, when Sister Zhiling cast the net to sign the 'deed of sale' without a guarantee, she was very happy to sign it with the company. Under the same conditions, the scale can be slightly tightened, and it will be held. Gu Cheng did not shy away from his preferences, and he seemed very frank.

Pan Jieying thought for a moment and said in a deliberative tone: "So that's the case, I said, it's not the best to see her singing skills...... But if you are ready to tilt resources to support her in the competition, will it reduce the credibility of the show? At this point, I think that the 'Girls' Generation' we are engaged in, compared with the 'Super Girl' of Mango Channel, may have a disadvantage in terms of popularity.

The selection criteria for Mango Station will be very objective, depending on whether the singing is good or not. I don't know much about these industries, but listening to the feedback from users collected from outside, Mango Channel's main focus is 'the little girl next door who is a hit', and we have a sense of distance from the general public. ”

Pan Jieying's reminder can be regarded as delicate and meticulous, and it is very tactful.

Whether a variety show can become popular and whether it can take off with the voting platform channel behind it depends on its attraction to female audiences, because the vast majority of people watching TV are women.

Therefore, if the contestants are all the kind of female anchor-style Internet celebrity faces, this show will properly hit the street - such a crowd of contestants can only attract the attention of the silk man, and the female audience will only be rejected because of disgust. Because this kind of program is suspected of objectifying women, it subtly puts women on the scale of men's playthings.

Women look at women who think they are beautiful, but men don't necessarily think they are beautiful when they look at them.

Women look at women who feel jealous, and men really feel beautiful when they see them.

This is also why in history, super girls can become popular like Li Yuchun and Zhou Bising, and men obviously think that at least they are not beautiful girls - because female audiences will think that Li Yuchun and Zhou Bising are "handsome".

In the same way, because most of the viewers of TV variety shows are women, once the content of the talent show is changed from selecting female artists to selecting male artists, the situation is completely reversed.

All kinds of eunuchs, sissies, and small fresh meat are piled up, and the more the girl's show, the more popular it is. Feminist-allergic critics who criticize "entertainment programs objectify women" have died down, and no one cares about the question of "is this objectifying men? One by one, the Mimeng female men saw that it was called a secret heart.

Pan Jieying can see this, which means that she still has done her homework.

As for Gu Cheng, how could he not know about this question?

He's coming back from an era when men's consumption was once booming, and it's just a drizzle at the moment.

"The question you mentioned is actually very common, just like the first time you and I went to Seoul together to watch Xiaoya's debut press conference. At that time, you thought Xiaoya was super beautiful and amazing, but I didn't have such a big reaction. The reason is that Xiaoya belongs to girls who feel particularly handsome, energetic, and tasteful. I can't solve this either, but I can choose to put it aside for observation, I believe that Wu Yue Satellite TV will also mix some handsome girls to participate in the competition. ”

Pan Jieying thought about it again and again, but there was no answer, so she simply didn't think about this question for the time being.

As the show aired, a group of girls who the live jury felt were too bad were quickly eliminated on TV, leaving about a third, and then announced that these people would move on to the next round. At the same time, the host announced the opening of the popularity voting session in this division, and everyone can go to Renren to praise the girls who have advanced in this round of primary selection in this division. In the like activity, each human network user can only like each contestant once in each round, and each human user can only choose one girl to like every day. If you feel that there are more than one person who wants to like this field, you can only log in to Renren once a day in the future, which increases the user stickiness of Renren in disguise.

It is said that the R&D department of Renren is still preparing new functions to support idols in the background of the website, and it is possible to charge fees in the future. But at present, the quality of the players in the preliminary round is not high, and the fans of the audience are not deep, so these cost-effective tricks will not be taken out for the time being.

Pan Jieying also went to the study to get her laptop, opened Renren, logged in, and then flipped to the new homepage of the website and browsed the popular voting list.

Renren should not have a homepage, or as soon as you log in, you will enter your own personal homepage like QQ Space, not like the portal.

However, for this "Girls' Generation" event, Renren's technical department has developed a new homepage dedicated to promoting the event and displaying the photo albums of girls who can be voted for at this stage.

In order not to affect the experience of users who don't like talent show variety shows, when logging in to Renren.com, the first thing to enter is still the personal space, but a translucent watermark advertisement will be suspended on the web page - the appearance is roughly the same as the watermark advertisement that will dominate the screen for 3 seconds and can also be turned off by clicking on the fork in advance.

"It's not bad, it's a good idea. It can allow users who are particularly disgusted with variety shows to take the initiative to fork out the advertisement. It also allows 3 seconds of buffer time to load the web page, making the website look smoother. At the same time, the translucent watermark design does not affect the user's ability to turn off the ad in these 3 seconds, but to browse normally, and the circle of friends behind it likes and watches the dynamics. ”

Pan Jieying This is the first time that Pan Jieying has been on Renren since the launch of "Girls' Generation", and she has followed Gu Cheng as COO and CPO for three years, and now she is familiar with the user experience analysis of Internet products. At a glance, you can tell whether you are ugly or bad.

It's really a progressive girl who is making rapid progress, well, in fact, it should be called a young woman.

She found Zhang Hanyun in the list of contestants' photos, and then gave her the first like.
