This star just wants to learn

Xu Lei stood in the team of photographers, looking at the scene in the camera with a solemn expression...

To this day, he still can't figure out why the show "Where Are We Going, Dad" that he took over became so popular?

He worked hard to boost the popularity of "When You Were Young", but in the end he only left a piece of chicken feathers. However, this unpopular parent-child program successfully broke through without being favored and became a new generation of popular variety shows. !

As a result, he successfully won the throne of the number one entertainment variety show, but to be honest, Xu Lei felt guilty because this was Pu Tong's creativity and setting, and he himself didn't understand why this show was so popular!

The camera in front of Xu Lei was filming. What came into view were more than a dozen tall ancient trees. The tree crowns blocked the sky and the sun. A small wooden house was located in the forest, which looked quite lonely.

At this time, in the room, the five fathers from "Where Are We Going, Dad" were sitting side by side on the wooden bed, looking at the screen in front of them with complicated expressions.

The reason why they came here was just because the program team had arranged special tasks for several fathers. They thought that this house was their task, but when they opened the door and came in, they found that this was a surprise left for them by the program team...

What was playing on the TV in the house was nothing else, but the memories of the twelve episodes of this program. When these experiences were presented in front of them in this way, several people were a little confused.

But they are also experienced in the entertainment industry, so they are somewhat accustomed to this kind of show crew "playing the emotional card".

"Then let's see."

The five of them were like mirrors in their hearts. Xu Lei was doing this just to capture the effect of the show. Only when their five fathers showed emotion when they looked at the screen could this in-person show end perfectly...

There is no reality show without a script. Although the director did not say it clearly, they knew how to cooperate.

During the filming of the first episode of the first season, the children broke down and cried, and the scene got out of control for a time. If Pu Tong hadn't unexpectedly visited, the show wouldn't have been filmed.

At that time, they really couldn't be said to be conscientious fathers. They couldn't cook, couldn't take care of the children, and didn't have the patience to play with them. No wonder, in the eyes of several children, they were not even as good as Pu Tong. outsider……

Domestic family education is still based on the perspective of "men take the lead outside and women take care of the inside". People do not attach as much importance to the role of the father as they do now, so the phenomenon of father's absence is more serious.

These five groups of families all have this problem to a greater or lesser extent.

I still remember the morning of the day when the program was released. Several children lost their temper, hugged their mothers and said, "If mom doesn't go, I won't go either." They always refused to travel with their father.

Children may lie, but it is really simple. They will treat whoever is good to them. In contrast, they are not good fathers because they are busy with work and have little time to spend with their children.

So at the beginning, they faced a lot of challenges.

After arriving at the program group, the children had to hand in all their toys and snacks. Several children made a fuss and almost tormented them to death.

Zeng Yuzhu was the most well-behaved among the children. She stepped forward without crying or fussing and handed over a large bag of snacks. It could be seen that her mother was really worried that her father, who could not cook, would starve the child, so she prepared more for the child. Order something to eat.

Zeng Qing in front of the screen felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He didn't know how difficult it was for his wife to cook before, but now he can empathize with her.

Unlike Zeng Qing, Chu Yiheng's deepest influence was in the Jiangnan water town in the second episode of the show. When they were choosing a house for a task, he got the most dilapidated house, even one that looked like a spider web.

I still remember when my son held back tears and said that he didn't want to live in a shabby house. Chu Yiheng really felt the pain of being unable to do anything in middle age.

When his children want something better and his father cannot do it, he is really heartbroken...

In contrast, Ying Xiangyu, the daughter of Go player Ying He, is not so good. She has been treated as a little princess since she was a child, and she cannot accept the dilapidated house.

She was doing okay before, but after choosing a house, she broke down and cried for three hours. You can really see Ying He's broken face in the camera.

But as a man, he couldn't yell at his daughter on the show in front of so many people. To be honest, he really regretted coming to the show.

However, Ying Xiangyu's subsequent performance in the show was very good. Especially when the children's group encountered problems, she was always the first to have an idea. Her thinking was clear and quick. She was truly worthy of being the daughter of a professional chess player.

They were really stupid at that time, and the children at that time were really ignorant...

Before coming to this show, they really thought it was just a reality show, but from the beginning to now, they have been through twelve episodes of the show.

This is not a show, not a show, but an experience.

Being real and unpretentious, even if it looks awkward, is the right way to open a reality show.

Compared with many variety shows nowadays, the "show" component is greater than the "real person" component, "Where Are We Going, Dad" is simply terrifying and real.

On the one hand, it's because the children don't play according to the routine at all. Regardless of whether there is any script, these four or five-year-old children don't know how to listen...

On the other hand, it is the authenticity of this relationship. The relationship between the five fathers and their children is the most sincere. These things cannot be simulated by scripts and shows.

Xu Lei outside the room was filled with emotion, and once again marveled at Pu Tong's genius idea for this program!

The reason why this variety show is so popular is not because of anything else but the sincere relationship between parents and children!

These scenes can really remind everyone of how we got along with our dad. He used to be so helpless in taking care of us.

Every time they see this show, many people feel that this variety show is good because it shows the most real side to the audience, which resonates with everyone's hearts.

What is even more commendable is that the fathers do not regard this program as a stage for show, but as a life experience for themselves and their children.

Moreover, both the father and the child have grown up during this process.

In the second episode of the show, Zeng Qing, who couldn't cook anything in the first episode, actually fried steamed bun slices for his children for breakfast in the second episode, and he was very proud to show off to everyone.

The children's emotions have also become significantly more stable, and they no longer cry as often as they did in the first episode. The one who has changed the most is Xie Yang. In the first episode, he hugged the toys and never let go. In the second episode, he happily told the camera: I didn’t bring anything with me.

These children are at home and their father rarely has time to spend with them. In the program, fathers put down their work and mobile phones to spend all their time with their children. In addition, the locations chosen for the program are all beautiful places, so the children naturally like this journey more and more.

Several fathers in the wooden house who had "gone with the plan" had already burst into tears. They thought they had seen many such emotional cards before, but when scenes from the past and their children reappeared before their eyes, they still couldn't hold back.

Dad watched this journey, their transformation from clumsy to handy, the children's dependence and support on them, and the gradual deepening of the relationship between father and son, and he shed tears.

None of the five grown men went to sleep laughing, they cried like children in front of the screen.

Maybe they are not the best dads, but they are trying to be qualified dads; maybe they are not the best dads, but they are trying to be the best at everything they can do.

Why is this show so popular?

Xu Lei's brows in front of the camera gradually widened, and he understood.

Nowadays, many people regard reality shows as "shows". In order to create a perfect "persona", they have long lost their most authentic selves.

But "Where Are We Going, Dad" is different. It is not only the journey of these five celebrity fathers and their children, but also a journey that allows us to find our childhood selves.

At the moment when the show was officially finished, Xu Lei finally made a decision in his heart.

He must learn from Pu Tong, because this kid really knows variety shows!
