Nicholas Tse is no longer flirting! ＂Frontier 2＂ is like drinking coffee and chewing garlic

The star of the first episode.

Nicholas Tse in "Twelve Sharks 2" seemed to have changed overnight. Compared with the first season, there was no flirting throughout the process, and the cooking was very serious. Could this be the power of love?

Yes! This show has been broadcast, and it has changed a lot! After watching it, I really can’t get used to it for a while. How to describe it? The feeling of chewing garlic after drinking coffee…

The reason why "Frontier" attracted a lot of attention last year was because Nicholas Tse’s Moments were very powerful. There were many big coffee platforms on a food show, and everyone was very excited. They had never seen such a game! Now, the variety show lineup is all stars, so this selling point is also good.

Of course, after a year of tempering, Nicholas Tse also knew – you can’t do a show every time, you have to take it slowly. From this point of view, "Edge 2" is the season that best reflects the true level of the program team.

The mode has changed: single flirting is changed to group challenge cooking

It can be seen that Nicholas Tse’s blade duck’s knife skills have been practiced.

Chen Weiting hung the duck and dropped it. The netizens could see that he was designing the plot.

Last year’s "Twelve Flavors" was indeed a "movie-grade food reality show". And "Twelve Flavors 2" is more appropriately called "food reality show".

Why do you say that? – Take a look at the changes in "Sharp Taste 2".

Let’s start with Nicholas Tse himself. Last year, when he made "Twelve Sharks", he spent eight months and invited about 15 relatives and friends, regardless of the cost, to fly and shoot between countries. This kind of layman’s approach that seems to be holding back big tricks, now analyzed, may be a bit to show off to Wang Fei. Chasing people! It has to be vigorous. But in any case, as a variety show, it is a bit too extravagant.

Zhao Wei, a guest on "Fengwei 1", praised Nicholas Tse, saying that "sure enough, someone does not love wrong".

Once a brand is established, it has to consider making money carefully. Judging from the broadcast of "Frontier 2", there are these changes in the model:

Last year, I was visiting various countries, Paris and French wineries. This year, I’m sorry, I only chose to visit my home country. The name "Exploring the unique Chinese cuisine" is actually to make the signature dishes of the eight major Chinese cuisines one by one.

Last year, it was positioned as a movie-grade gourmet reality show. In addition to filming in a movie style, flirting and falling in love in the name of cooking – this plot setting is the biggest highlight. This year, it is completely in the style of Korean game reality shows. No wonder some netizens said that "it is like watching" Transformer "and" Where Are You Going, Dad ". If I want to say, netizens are eye thieves! The joining of the screenwriter of the original Korean" Where Are You Going, Dad ", plus all-round no-NG real shooting, plus the assistance of the Korean reality TV camera guide throughout the process – it must be this style.

Last year, Nicholas Tse danced alone. When he met relatives, he would spread love, and when he met friends, he would spread love. Now, Nicholas Tse, who has converged, has set the lineup to "4 + X". This "4" is the combination of Chen Weiting, Ma Su, and Yuquan. As for "X", I have already seen Tong Liya, and there will be Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Zhang Jingchu, Gu Juji, Sun Nan, Jing Boran, Li Yuchun, Lin Feng, Zhao Liying in the future… Is it too much exposure at once? In fact, it doesn’t matter, I just want you to see: I used up all the big coffee at once last year, and this year I can only do this. I regret not keeping a hand at the beginning.

Actual combat level: The mission is too simple, and the plot design is obvious

You can get ducks by feeding them, and there is no challenge difficulty.

The Yu Quan combination performed well.

Tong Liya easily obtained honey.

In one sentence, it sums up the plot of "Fengwei 2" as follows: Nicholas Tse packed a small courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing and wanted to make a Peking duck in three days. However, this duck needs materials. So Chen Weiting, Ma Su, Yuquan and Tong Liya all helped. On the way, it experienced a rare sandstorm for 13 years. Finally, the six people overcame various difficulties to make a roast duck, which was tasted by the mysterious celebrity chef in Beijing and received praise.

After the first episode was broadcast, netizens liked it and played it. Not to mention the likes, it’s awesome and good-looking anyway. Let’s talk about the part of the play: "It’s so boring and low in the countryside, it’s not as good as the first season." "Is it so laborious to carry firewood? The link is a bit watery."… Is that the case? Take a look.

At the beginning of the show, the labels of the members of the "Fengwei family" came out, and they came prepared. The chef is Nicholas Tse, the eldest cousin is Hu Haiquan, the second cousin is Chen Yufan, the eldest cousin is Ma Su, and Chen Weiting is the younger cousin. From this name, it is arranged in the family, and the main concept is the concept of family, which is in line with the theme of the food show.

Let’s take a look at the content of the challenge – making roast duck. To be honest, this dish is a kung fu dish. It’s hard to make. Don’t look at the three-day process of "Fenwei 2", the most it takes is to show the process of roast duck, which plays a role in popularizing knowledge. In addition, from the perspective of the stars’ challenge, it’s too simple – you can get ducks by feeding a duck? The firewood is all cut, just memorize it. Is it still a challenge? The actress can get honey for free by wearing a mask to experience it? This mode of playing games is the specialty of the Korean team, but from this episode, it seems too pediatric, a bit like an adult "playing house".

For the characters in the show, it’s not bad. Nicholas Tse, it can be seen that he has done his homework, and the method of slices of duck meat cannot be concealed from the chef Lao Dong. As a core member, his big brother’s role-playing is very good; Yu Quan members are honest and hard-working in it, and it is quite interesting to occasionally compare, especially when the sandstorm strikes, the two take the initiative to play the guitar in the room, and their functions are very obvious; the delicate Ma Su, its effect is to reflect the strengths of women – need to protect and neutralize the atmosphere; Chan Weiting is worthy of acting, and his performance is very good, especially the scene of falling ducks. His acting is simply first-class, and even netizens can see that it is a designed plot… Nicholas Tse wants to hold the little fresh meat, and his intention is obvious, so the younger brother is also working hard. Oh, and Tong Liya, sorry, I just remember that this girl is advertising.

The sandstorm is coming, and Nicholas Tse is anxious.

Let’s talk about the unexpected situation. The program team encountered the biggest sandstorm in 13 years, which disrupted all plans. It can be seen that Nicholas Tse was anxious at the time – the show was just filming the first episode, and all its efforts were going to be wasted? Reluctant. Fortunately, in that chaotic situation, seeing the excellent performance of the cameramen and the performance of the stars without NG in all directions was quite touching. – If there was no sandstorm, the show would definitely be less interesting.

In the end, the show’s attitude towards food was indeed very sincere, which was a big highlight. The roast duck needs sugar water, the fire needs fruit wood, and the duck falls and clasps his hands together to say sorry… Well, respecting food is the foundation of eating.

Improvement as appropriate: The painting style changes too fast to accept

Hai Quan and Ma Su blow "duck"

Old rules, or a little advice.

When making a show, I am most afraid of being compared, and it is still compared with myself. "Frontier 2" is all shot in China, and it is a down-to-earth farmhouse at first. It is obviously different from the tall business card cities in the past, and many netizens express that they cannot accept it. In fact, you should also take the initiative to inform netizens – what is the core of this season. Let them change their inherent views and change their expectations.

To be honest, I watched the show and didn’t feel the resonance. As far as the current situation is concerned – Nicholas Tse makes his own dishes, I have no urge to eat out or cook by myself at all. I see the most bullet comments like this: "Chef Xie, you continue to show off, I will eat a bowl of instant noodles first"… How to close the stomach of TV and netizens through food should be the essence of food shows, right?

In addition, too many parts of the show are reflected in finding ingredients and cooking, and the finished product is shared with the old aunt and friends, and the camera is a little less. It is still necessary to play up the food and enjoy the results at the same table as family. When there is food, the person who eats is also the core.

****

Nicholas Tse, this pot is very expensive.

See that boiled plastic bag? Special.

Finally, two more things.

Can there be more commercials for the show? It has reached the point of being naked! Close-up plus star use, absolutely.

Can Nicholas Tse show off his skills more fiercely? The pot for cutting duck meat is very expensive; the knife for cutting duck meat is several thousand yuan; netizens are most worried about the plastic bag boiled in hot water, which is actually specially made with environmentally friendly ingredients. Not only can it withstand high temperature, but it is also non-toxic… You city people really know how to play.
