Official: Chinese government new directives ban large-scale Idol survival shows

Quote from bartkun

Survival shows in China are canceling auditions and others are changing their formats to straight-up reality shows in response to government directives currently banning large-scale idol survival shows.

This is linked to earlier news on new "standards" soon being established.

Well, that's what happens when people waste millions of bottles of yogurt/milk or w/e it was.

This is what you morality loving humans wanted, so enjoy

I'm a sucker for survival shows what a shame as the Chinese really take them to the next level

Interesting. Wonder if the upcoming ones will get cancelled or allowed to go ahead

The Street Dance of China is coming up (this already scheduled for broadcast) and there is a male version of "Sisters Who Make Waves" (Bros Who Make Waves?) that is supposed to start soon.

If those go on as planned then it really comes down to the money involved in the voting for YWY and Chuang. Creating groups in shows is okay but the voting method involving vast amounts of money is not.

interesting

I always wondered about the economics of these shows, especially Chuang. Never mind the expensive stages but just housing and feeding 100 trainees for three months must have been astronomical.

And Chuang rented out whole resorts or islands in 2020 and 2021.

The expenses must be through the roof and so must have been the sponsorships.

Maybe the resort was shut down because of Corona? Idk, just a guess

Still a major shame -- I still wonder why the Chinese government did that.

It has been more obvious after the govt set up something called qinglang (new culture committee) to observe fans' behaviors online and many weibo accounts either massively fundraising or spreading hateful speeches have been deleted.

Idol survival shows aroused stunning fundraising, up to $3m for a top contestant, and slandering campaigns to clear promising contestants off the way of ones' faves.
