Chapter 626 Variety Show Craze (1/2)



Chapter 626 Variety Show Craze Before the broadcast of "Feng Xue Mei Mansion", the most popular episode of "Happiness Street Detective" was "The Tale of Two Phoenixes" in which Lu Yuxuan and Yingjie participated as guest stars.

Lu Yuxuan and Wu Jianing played two very close friends in the drama "The Twin Phoenixes". On the variety show, their relationship was like that of siblings; off-screen, their respective fan groups engaged in a fierce online battle that trended on social media. It was a bloodbath, a veritable storm of violence. They not only shared unflattering and ridiculous photos of each other in each other's real-time search results, but also had each other's leading fans' accounts banned.

Both sides' fans regarded the episode of "The Tale of Two Phoenixes" as a real achievement of their idols, and even now, they still bring it up to boast about it when controlling the comments.

Until last night, "The Plum Mansion in the Snow" aired.

In terms of single-episode effective views, number of bullet comments, number of comments, number of Weibo hot searches, number of related topic discussions and readership, etc., "Fengxue Mei Mansion" broke all the records held by "Shuangfeng Ji" in just three hours after its release!

Before Ye Chu joined "Happiness Street Detective," the show's audience was mostly fans of the TV series "Happiness Street: The Legend of the Condor Heroes." Ye Chu's addition marked the first time the show broke out of its niche.

Many people then realized that the script and production of "Happiness Street Detective" were quite excellent, and the guests were very entertaining. In terms of content and format, it falls somewhere between traditional variety shows and slow-paced variety shows. The fast pace, dense tasks, and frequent conflicts make it entertaining and exciting, which are the advantages of traditional variety shows (also called fast-paced variety shows), but without the impetuousness and roughness of traditional fast-paced variety shows; every detail is polished and meticulously crafted, emphasizing authenticity, which are the advantages of slow-paced variety shows, but without the drowsy and boring feeling of slow-paced variety shows.

Furthermore, the show's format of assigning tasks to guests and guiding them towards "death" is extremely novel, challenging, and dramatic. It leaves viewers laughing, cursing, tense, and excited all at the same time.

In the past, variety shows often required a balanced distribution of screen time and spotlight to accommodate the guests' status, daring to create minor conflicts but not major ones. "Happiness Street Detective," however, dares to have its guests "die" halfway through the show, greatly increasing its excitement and keeping viewers on the edge of their seats, fearing that another guest might be eliminated by the unscrupulous production team at any moment.

So what if you get eliminated in one or two rounds of games? You've never seen a variety show get shut down halfway through by the production team!

With its high level of entertainment, excitement, and mind-bending challenges, "Happiness Street Detective" delivers on all fronts. In particular, the ending of "Feng Xue Mei Mansion" elevates the program to a level of national sentiment, leaving viewers deeply moved and filled with emotion.

The trending topics on platforms such as Weibo, Pixiv, and Douyin have been dominated by "Feng Xue Mei Mansion". All sorts of GIFs and memes have spread like a virus.

Ye Chu's lipstick-covered sausage lips are so cute! They have a kind of "I'm crazy, what can you do about it?" kind of beautiful vibe~

[I'm so happy! The official Weibo account for L'Oréal lipstick is fast! They just posted a screenshot of Ye Chu applying lipstick and even claimed the shade.]

[No wonder, I was just saying I checked the Lulan flagship store and the one Ye Chu used in "The Legend of Happiness Street" was already sold out...]

[A makeup tutorial for this look has already appeared on Sweet Potato.]

They deserve to make money!

[I almost laughed myself to death! The dried fruit sponsored by the Happiness Street Detective is from Qiu Ke brand. Qiu Ke has a pepper-flavored walnut, which is notoriously dark and spicy—it's absolutely awful. I just zoomed in on the footage at 0.5x speed and saw that Ye Chu ate all the cream and caramel flavors, leaving all the pepper-flavored ones for Fatty Zhang. No wonder Fatty Zhang was determined to vote for her even at the cost of his life!]

[Ye Chu is so mean! [crying] She's punishing her by making her be tied up with rubber bands for another week! [crying]]

[A 1:1 recreation paying homage! The ending scene of "Detective of Happy Street" is based on these classic old photos! In the spring of seventy years ago, the citizens of the old town opened their windows and doors and witnessed a scene they would never forget...]

"The soldiers camped out for the night, and the people opened their doors to let them in, but none dared to enter. Their motto was, 'We would rather freeze to death than dismantle a house, we would rather starve to death than plunder.'... It is easier to shake a mountain than to shake Yue Fei's army."

Snow and black earth, snow and the pitch-black, soaked road, snow and the somber Plum Mansion. A world of black and white, a world of old and new, how wonderful!

Did anyone notice this detail...? After seeing the soldiers sleeping on the road, Ye Chu paused for two seconds, then took off his angel halo and newsboy cap and tucked them into his arms. It was a gesture of respect, a proper hat-tipping salute...

[I saw it at first glance! Ye Chu even tugged at Sister Mei, reminding her to take off her hat too.]

[Ye Chu has been paying close attention to these things ever since she finished filming "Half a Sky"~]

[Wu Jianing and Lin Hao were standing too far apart, Ye Chu couldn't reach it [laughing and crying emoji]. But Wu Jianing seemed to glance at Ye Chu, and then pulled Lin Hao along to take the halo off. Everyone on Happiness Street gets along really well.]

Everyone here is such a wonderful person~ Looking forward to collaborating again in season two♡♡♡

[Seriously, the name "Happiness Street Detective" is terrible. When I first saw it, I thought it was some kind of family drama about catching cheaters, fighting mistresses, and mediating family conflicts. If it hadn't trended on social media and I'd taken a look, I would never have guessed it was a detective show. [laughing emoji]]

[The name is indeed corny, but it's meant to promote Happiness Commercial Street.]
