Zhong Zhifeng was the first to agree, "What President Fang said makes sense. The variety show market is a mixed bag right now. Even the best one, 'Voice of China,' has become a tool for TV stations and film and television companies to make money. Anyone who pays can get on the show. It has completely lost its original purpose and has even lost most of its audience. If this continues, it can only be produced for one more season at most. If it cannot be improved, I'm afraid it will have to go out of business. How can a variety show without an audience survive?"
Zhu Laosan agreed, saying, "At the beginning, I paid a lot of attention to this variety show. It provided a platform for music lovers to showcase themselves and also discovered a large number of outstanding musical talents. However, it started to change from the third season onwards. A lot of capital used it as a stage for their own trainees to rise to prominence. A variety show with no participation from amateur music lovers has deviated from the soil that made it popular in the first place. Even if it does a good job now, the lack of participation makes it obvious that it is declining."
"That makes sense. So the contradiction between TV stations and capital lies here. TV stations need the help of capital, but capital doesn't work for nothing. It has its own demands. As for the future of the variety show itself, that's not something it needs to consider. Only by separating production and broadcasting, and keeping the quality control in the hands of the production company, can these situations be avoided as much as possible. Because the production company will not let the variety show they have worked so hard to create be ruined by capital. This is also the benefit of separating production and broadcasting."
Ma Wenhua hit the nail on the head, directly exposing the drawbacks of both approaches, a point that was also agreed upon by everyone present. A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole; this is common sense that has existed since ancient times. However, under the corrupting influence of money, there will always be some short-sighted people who ignore this phenomenon. Fang Yang's unwillingness to cooperate with the TV station on variety shows is also based on this fact, which is indeed understandable!
