Darwin mentioned in "The Origin of Species" that "survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest." Therefore, there is never any talk of fairness in nature.

A celebrity once said: There are only two fair things in life. One is death, because everyone will die; the other is time, because everyone has only 24 hours a day.

Even so, some people still question, you say time is fair? Then why do some people live longer, while others die young?

Let’s take “PRODUCE 101” as an example:

Even if the vote fraud had not been exposed, or the producers had not accepted bribes, this would still not be a completely fair show.

There are as many as 101 trainees in the program, and it is obviously impossible to give everyone the same time allocation.

For example, the majority of people who are eliminated in the first round may not have as many shots as a trainee who eventually debuts. When it is impossible to evenly distribute the time, the shots will tend to focus on those who are talented or popular.

It can be said that this is true for most variety shows.

And the design of the script.

"From Class F to debut position" has always been the feature of the "PD101" series, which is the so-called "development script", such as Kim So-hye in the first season, Lai Guanlin in the second season, and so on.

This kind of plot setting encourages many trainees and TV viewers. As long as they work hard, they can realize their dreams. Who doesn't love a comeback plot? Unfortunately, such things are rare in reality, and if such incidents appear in variety shows, they are mostly deliberately designed.

Not every trainee is so "lucky" to be assigned a "development script". Since they can't become the "chosen one", they are lucky that their words won't be taken out of context and edited in a malicious way later on.

Therefore, the editing of variety shows is another "highlight". He will let the audience see what he wants you to see, what he thinks is interesting, and what he thinks is worth talking about.

Variety show editing never considers what is fairness.

Fans say that the core of talent shows is authenticity. Isn't it just to see your favorite contestant debut after all the hard work of voting for her? If she has already been chosen, why spend money and effort?

It should be said that fans want to see real talent shows, but the purpose of variety shows is entertainment. Traffic and attention are the foundation of a variety show. It does not exist for the purpose of complete fairness.

However, a good variety show should be relatively fair and just, especially a talent show.

How cruel is the thorny road to becoming an idol? Only they themselves know.

A documentary called "How to Become a K-Pop Idol", CAN Insider records the experience of a Japanese girl Yanagi as a trainee in South Korea. At the same time, this is also a real-life portrayal of many boy and girl group trainees.

In terms of life, they have to strictly control their diet. In the documentary, the girls are required to keep their weight below 50kg. So they only dare to eat a salad every afternoon to keep their intake below 300 calories, and they dare not even drink a sip of water before weighing.

A girl who was a trainee in South Korea once posted on the Internet that her daily practice time in the early days was from 8 am to 8 pm, which was the time arranged by the company.

"I have to practice vocal music and dance for more than ten hours. I have to practice the same song and dance until I know them by heart. There is very little time to go to the bathroom and rest. I really can't count how many times I have to practice in a day."

Every day, classes and training are seamlessly connected. They dare not neglect or ask for vacation because they are at risk of being eliminated at any time. No matter how hard you work, this is always a place where only the fittest survive.

Therefore, there are no idols who become famous overnight in South Korea. Every trainee who can stand on the stage has experienced countless battles behind the scenes.

Of course, there are also people who become famous overnight. There are many people on the Internet who become Internet celebrities just by saying "I won't even give you 100 yuan", "I feel so sad", or "I look like a certain celebrity screwing screws on live broadcast".

But such internet celebrities will not last long.

If you want to become an idol, it all depends on your hard work, your dedication, and your talent.

There was no script in the entire "Competition 100" variety show outline that Xia Haoyang revised for Tian Danni. Director Tian originally had a "script development" segment when designing this variety show, but he rejected it.

Perhaps knowing the dismal end of South Korea's "PRODUCE 101", Xia Haoyang does not want similar programs created in this time and space to end up in the same way.

Xia Haoyang is not incapable of adapting to the demands of absolute fairness and justice, so he would allow major music companies to directly insert people into the 100-person program list, and he also allowed the 9-person list of Class A in the first period to be the chosen ones of major companies. However, he would not deliberately take care of the trainees from those major companies in the program afterwards.

As the godmother of the talent show, Tian Danni also knows clearly which backdoors can be taken and which principles must be adhered to in the program.

Producing a relatively fair and just program, allowing fans and audiences to see a relatively real show, and ensuring the program's reputation is the source of traffic and topicality.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon.

A Cadillac slowly drove out from the parking lot of the Yancheng studio of Xinan TV.

"Hey, you said your show doesn't have a script? That's not right. I remember there was a 'training script' when I signed the contract." Zeng Jingyi talked freely in the co-pilot seat, "Didn't we agree to let a trainee with some ability enter Class F at the beginning, and then move up one class in each episode, and finally make a counterattack and debut? This design should be liked by the audience and fans, and they should talk about it with relish."

"Well, there was such a routine at the beginning, but I rejected it." Xia Haoyang replied.

"Why? Do you think this is a bad design? But I see that the nine people in Class A belong to several large companies, and there are obviously two more capable people in Class B. This should be a tacitly balanced choice."

"Being selected for Class A in the first episode will give fans and audiences a better impression, and let them intuitively know that these people have strength. This is appropriate care, not a matter of principle, so I acquiesced. However, I am quite disgusted by the "comeback script", but I will indeed design some suitable music for different contestants. If their performance is recognized by the audience and mentors, there is also the possibility of a comeback."

"Brother, I want to ask you something."

"Well, you say." Xia Haoyang tilted his head to glance at Zeng Jingyi with a smile on his face.

"Why haven't you thought about creating a new girl group?" Zeng Jingyi asked the question that everyone was curious about.
