The top 10 Chinese variety shows of 2020 are:
1.”Nice to meet you” 《很高兴认识你》
Douban Score: 9.1
“Nice to meet you” is jointly produced by Douyin and Qiyu Culture, created by fixed MCs Zhou Xun and Aya, together with Mao Buyi, Liu Wen, Li Zefeng, Yao Chen, Li Qin, Wang Yuan, Ouyang Nana and other star flying guests “Possessive” documentary reality show, a total of 7 episodes.
The program is in the form of 2 live broadcasts a week + 7 episodes of documentary variety shows + N short videos. It combines the texture of the documentary and the sense of life power story into one, letting what you see is what you do, showing “7 different lives, 7 Different interesting amateurs, 7 healing times”.
The live broadcast part of the program will be broadcast live on Douyin and Watermelon every Saturday and Sunday on August 22, 2020, and will end on October 4, 2020; the long video part will start at 12:00 noon every Friday on November 13 Broadcast on Douyin and Watermelon videos.
The program does not have a flow, so the content appears loose and disorderly. It is not so much a variety show as a documentary. The program “Live + Variety Show” is a very creative way of operating. After watching it, it is indeed less anxious. Perhaps this is the biggest value of the program. Mao is not easy to say, work is indeed very important, but not that important. Being dominated by work is a terrible thing. Loosening is also a state of life. You don’t want to be so tired, as long as you are with your lover and live a normal life.
2.”Dance Smash” Season 2 《舞蹈风暴》第二季
Douban Score: 9.4
“Dance Smash” is a top young dancers competitive show launched by Hunan Satellite TV Program Center. The first season has 12 issues.
“Dance Smash” includes: “Dance Smash Season 1” and “Dance Smash Season 2”.
The show consists of four groups of “Storm Witnesses” composed of Shen Wei, Shen Peiyi, Yang Yang, Liu Xianhua and Peng Yuchang to help players advance; He Jiong serves as the “Storm Partner” to accompany the growth of the players.
The program will be broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV every Saturday night at 22:00 from October 5, 2019. On August 7, 2020, “Dance Smash” won the Best TV Variety Show Award at the 26th Shanghai TV Festival.
In this show, most of the dancers are not amateurs, and even many of them are top figures in the professional field, so their professionalism is beyond doubt. Competition on stage is more choreography, music, and creativity. You can also see the transformation and growth of the dancers themselves.
3.”Who’s The Murder Of Detective Academy” Season 3 《明星大侦探之名侦探学院》 第三季
Douban Score: 9.2
《Who’s The Murder Of Detective Academy》is a puzzle growth reality show launched by Mango TV.
I was worried about this subject for a long time, maybe the director team, guests and audience are inevitably tired. I didn’t expect that everyone has been working hard to introduce the old and the new, and the effect is very good. The combination of co-star and game itself is a good form. The new game is also very fresh and interesting, and everyone’s feelings are getting better and better, so the new season is even more comfortable.
4.”Hahahahaha” 《哈哈哈哈哈》
Douban Score: 7.3
《Hahahahaha》 is a road-walking outdoor reality show jointly produced by iQiyi, Tencent Video, Zhejiang Lantianxia Media Group, Orange Image, and Zhejiang Hexin Media. Deng Chao, Chen He and Lu Han serve as regular guests.
The program is composed of Deng Chao, Chen He, Lu Han and guests. The “Wuha Tour Group” squeezes time from the busy and trivial daily life to start a journey from east to west through China.
The program will premiere on iQiyi and Tencent Video at 20:00 every Friday night from November 6, 2020, and will be broadcast on Dragon TV at 22:00 every Saturday night; from November 27th, every Friday At 12:00 noon, members of iQiyi and Tencent Video will watch it first, watch it for free at 20:00 every Friday night, and follow it on Dragon TV at 22:00 every Saturday night.
I see a lot of bright and beautiful cities, and I like the fireworks on the corners. Some people like to watch the carefree free travel, I prefer to see how they face the struggles of life. This is just an exaggerated life record of middle- and lower-level migrant workers when night falls among tall buildings. This is the real state of life, the pure white snowflakes floating under the colorful neon lights are so beautiful! It’s great that the light of a big star has been rubbed into life! This show really seems to be scribbled, and it really seems to be fun and meaningful.
5.”Hello Life” 《你好生活》第二季
Douban Score: 9.0
“Hello Life” is a new youth life sharing program jointly produced by CCTV Variety Channel and CCTV Network, and at the same time jointly launched by the Communist Youth League Central Committee.
In the program, the host Nigmat Rahman and two resident guests Dong Li and Sun Yizhou invited guests from different fields to operate and experience homestay life in four cities, explore the meaning of life, and share a unique philosophy of life.
The first season of the program will be online on CCTV every Tuesday at 11:18 starting from December 17, 2019, and the CCTV Variety Channel of China Central Radio and Television Station will be broadcast at 21:30 every Wednesday, and will officially end on August 9, 2020. The second season will be broadcast on the Variety Channel at 20:30 pm on November 4, 2020.
Not bad, the lineup is better than the previous season. It’s a wise choice to have Sa Bening stay in the show. The show’s laughter is contracted to make the show less embarrassing. The invited guests are also familiar with MC, so everyone can chat together. . But after watching the first issue, I feel that the content is out of space, and the links are set very casually. It is said that the result of the travel program feels more like a talk show. Fortunately, the rhythm of the later editing is tight.
6.”Our Song” Season 2 《我们的歌》 第二季
Douban Score: 7.5
“The Voice of the Chinese Dream·Our Song” is an intergenerational chaotic competition variety show created by Dragon TV and hosted by Lin Hai.
The show is composed of top new-generation singers in the music industry and many model singers who have contributed countless classics to the Chinese music scene. They jointly created and adapted golden songs to complete a cross-generational music competition.
The show will be broadcast on Dragon TV every Sunday at 21:00 starting from October 27, 2019.
With the success of the first season, the lineup of senior singers in the second season has been fully upgraded, but the rookie singers have regressed instead, and most of them lack convincing strength. If the first season is to make people feel that there are talented people from generation to generation, and the blue is better than the blue, the second season is that the ginger or the old are hot, the gap between the two generations of singers is too great. In addition, the traces of the script are too obvious, and the commercial compliments between singers are extremely embarrassing, and each time they listen to the song, they are forced to advance.
7.”On new,the Forbidden City” Season 3 《上新了·故宫》 第三季
Douban Score: 8.8
“On new,the Forbidden City” is a cultural quarterly broadcast produced by the Palace Museum and Beijing TV Station.
In the first and second seasons of the show, the cultural innovation product developers lead a “flying guest” and cooperate with experts into the palace to learn about treasures, explore the precious treasures of the Palace Museum, and interpret the historical codes and legends behind the cultural relics. Cultural and creative products look for historical context and cultural elements. In addition, every issue also invites designers to work with “new product developers” to design related cultural and creative designs for the Forbidden City elements.
The perspective of the second season of the show extends to the 5,000-year history of the Palace Museum, unlocking the “Forbidden City Culture” in a wider range. In addition to the Ming and Qing history carried by the Palace Museum itself, the beliefs of the Song, Han and Tang Dynasties, Wei and Jin and even distant ancestors (Liangzhu Civilization) are also presented one by one in the program. In addition, the show also revealed the secret behind the six hundred-year overhaul of the Forbidden City. The cultural creation of the program is no longer limited to material forms, but is upgraded to a “super cultural and creative ecosystem”.
The program was great. It took us into the Forbidden City and listened to the stories of the Forbidden City. The experts explained the hidden secrets of the Forbidden City and the profound and profound traditional culture of the Chinese nation in a humorous and easy-to-understand way. Shocking knowledge is too much!
8.”Inspiring Offer” Season 2 《令人心动的offer》 第二季
Douban Score: 7.1
“Inspiring Offer” is a reality show of legal and workplace observation launched by Tencent Video.
The program team knows how to find actors and set up the script, and the editing is also very good at adding drama…Although the script has heavy traces, it is easy for people to plunge into it and discuss emotionally. The eight people are not all super-excellent typical students, but The personal settings of the individuals are not the same, but the similar ones seem to have a weak sense of existence. A few controversial figures properly support the topic… But after all, this is a reality show in the workplace. If the script is too much, there is no meaning in the show itself Fortunately, the discussion in the observation room is quite a plus.
9.”Dream Home” Season 7 《梦想改造家》第七季
Douban Score: 8.8
“Dream Home” is a home improvement show created by Dragon TV, hosted by Luo Xin and Shi Yan.
Each program focuses on a family with housing problems, and commissions a designer to use limited funds for a “caring renovation” of its house in a limited time.
“Dream Home” was born out of the home improvement program “Very Dreamer” of Shanghai TV News Comprehensive Channel. After the revision, it changed from being based in Shanghai to facing the whole country. The program retains the basic style of “Very Dreamer” and continues the overall renovation of the old house in the form of the designer accepting the renovation of ordinary families.
Dream change is really warm forever. I first watched the recent episode of Mr. Shinanqiao. Although Space Magician has a fixed design language, he still has ingenuity that is amazing. Using the height of the bed to create a higher space and the hollow design to introduce natural light are design techniques used in the past; this time, the foldable glass wall really learned.
10.”GLORY IS BACK” 《登场了！敦煌》
Douban Score: 8.2
“GLORY IS BACK” is an original panoramic humanities exploration program focusing on Dunhuang, directed by the Dunhuang Academy, produced by iqiyi, produced by iQIYI, with Wang Han as the head of the Dunhuang exploration group, together with Xie Keyin, Qian Zhenghao, and Li Haoyuan Formed the “Dunhuang Exploration Group”.
The program combines documentary and reality show shooting methods, through the ten dimensions of music, food, color, flying, ingenuity, sports, trends, customs, heroes, and documents, comprehensively explore and pay tribute to Dunhuang, and reproduce the historical glory with the power of youth. A total of ten issues.
The show will be aired on iQiyi, SuiQi, and Kiwi TV every Wednesday at 12:00 noon from November 18, 2020.
The program not only explained the murals with entertainment in Mogao Grottoes, but also showed other cultural relics related to entertainment. Suddenly realized that the value of cultural relics is probably that we can see through these cultural relics that can connect history to the real things that existed in them.
