Happy Family

Although in recent years, “Celestial Detective” and “Sister Riding the Wind and Waves” and other mango variety shows have repeatedly become topics, behind these popular contents, it is difficult for a new generation of hosts to emerge in Hunan Station, let alone a match. He Jiong, Wang Han and others are well-known people. Today’s “Stand A Strong Friend” may be able to bring topicality and new content to “Quick Book”, but it is not easy to make it the key to reverse the trend.

An undeniable fact is that the once brilliant variety show host era is really going to end.

The “Hunan Army” once rose

In 1992, He Jiong, a young man from Hunan, was far away from his homeland and went north to study. During his studies, he was given the opportunity to host the “Smart House” section of CCTV’s “Big Windmill” and formally entered the host circle. It was also in the year when He Jiong’s life began to turn, that Hunan Cable TV 2 started broadcasting, but this “trivial matter” did not leave much sound in history.

After all, it was the bleakest period in the history of Hunan Radio and Television. At that time, Hunan TV had not been starred, and the programs were lacklustre. Various pig feed advertisements were broadcast all day long. Not only was it less attractive to the audience than CCTV, it was even worse than the Changsha TV in the province. The ratings are poor and the actual income of the TV station is also very low. In order to generate income, the station even releases the directors to open restaurants and brick factories.

Wei Wenbin, who has served as the director of Hunan Channel since the beginning of the 1990s, has always had a long-cherished wish to reform Hunan Channel, which has serious abuses. But just a year after Hunan Cable TV 2 started broadcasting, he finally waited. Opportunity to flex its muscles-in 1993, Wei Wenbin was appointed as the director of the Hunan Radio and Television Department. As soon as he took office, he began to look for good reforms.

Faced with the “pump of stagnant water” in front of him, Wei Wenbin, who wanted to activate it, decided to “do not break or build”: “I suddenly had the urge to set up another TV station… to build a system of employment that conforms to market principles, such as opening The talent admission mechanism, the rigid elimination mechanism, and the incentive mechanism for advocating competition. When this system releases its strong vitality, it will be replicated and promoted in the system in turn.”
