朗阁雅思达人全球时事瞭望2010年7月第二期雅思口语篇电视相亲席卷中国朗阁海外考试研究中心王元【时事聚焦】6月30日,美国《时代》周刊以醒目的位置登载了一篇题为《中国电视相亲节目:为爱还是为钱?》的文章。作者贾斯汀·伯格曼撰文指出,对于一小撮中国现代年轻女性来说,真爱都是关于数字的。在要求求婚者必须拥有幽默感、英俊外貌的同时,她们更在乎的是对方是否有房子、房子的大小、银行卡的钱数,当然有豪华轿车更好。至少,这些都是近来中国电视相亲节目中的情景。这些节目吸引了数百万观众的眼球,也招来了批评人士的无情炮轰,批评这些节目导致消极的、非传统价值观在中国城市年轻人中盛行。在如今最为流行的“非诚勿扰”舞台上因负面言论走红的著名拜金女马诺,在一位爱好骑自行车且无业的男嘉宾问她是否愿意坐在他的自行车后座上欣赏风景时的回应被看作是当今中国80后一代价值观的一个缩影。China'sTVDatingShows:ForLoveorMoney?(SHANGHAI)—Forasmallbutincreasinglyhigh-profilenumberofyoungwomeninmodern-dayChina,trueloveisallaboutthenumbers.Apotentialsuitormayhaveagoodsenseofhumorandreasonablegoodlooks,butwhattheysayreallymattersisifheownsanapartmentandhowmanysquarefeetitis.Asizablebankaccountisalsoamust,and,somesay,soisaluxurycar.MaNuo:Atleast,that'sthewaythingslookifyouwatchChinesetelevisionthesedays.ThoughChinawasslowtopickuponthereality-programmingtrend,ahostofdatingshowsandAmericanIdolcopycatshaveemergedinrecentyears,capturingmillionsofviewersbutangeringcriticswhosaytheprogramspromotenegative,non-traditionalvaluesamongurbanChineseyouth.Thelatestreality-TVscandaltotransfixthenationinvolvesMaNuo,a22-year-oldmodelfromBeijingwhoappearedonChina'smostpopulardatingshow,IfYouAretheOne.Shehaughtilyrejectedanofferfromamalecontestanttotakearideonhisbike,epitomizingthematerialismthatsomesayhascometodefinethenouveauricheofthepost-1980sgeneration.I'drathercryinaBMWcarthanlaughonthebackseatofabicycle,Matoldhersuitorwithagiggle.Smackdown:ThetelevisedsmackdownswepttheInternetandmadeaninstantcelebrityofMa,wholefttheshowwithoutamatchbuthassinceentertainednumeroustelevisionoffersandbecomeoneof朗阁雅思达人全球时事瞭望2010年7月第二期themosttalked-aboutwomeninthecountry.ThebacklashamongyoungChinesewasespeciallysevere,reflectinggrowinganxietiesoverthewideninggapbetweenrichandpoor,shiftingsocietalvaluesandthedifficultiesoffindingamateinacountrywheremenareexpectedtooutnumberwomenby24millioninadecade.(China's30-year-oldone-childpolicyhascausedadisproportionatenumberoffamiliestoabortfemalefetusesinhopesofhavingason.)Chastity:Alotofpeopleseechastityasimportantasone'sownlife,butMaNuo,ashallow,sharp-tongued,singlegirl,treatsherchastitylikeusedtoiletpaperbecauseshewantstobeasuperstar,onenetizen,WangXiJie,wroteonthepopularInternetforumTianya.cn.Yes,theworldneedsmoney,butyourideathatmoneyisthemasterofeverythingisnotright.OfIfYouAretheOneandthehandfulofotherdatingshowslikeit,anotherblogger,XieYong,wroteontheWebportalSohu.com:Themostcontroversialaspectoftheseprogramsisthevaluecontestantsplaceonmoneyworshippingandrichpeople.Theseopinionsaresocontrarytotraditionalvalues,likelovingone'scountryandrespectingone'selders...Butwecan'tdoanythingifthesepeoplejustlikeuglythings.(SeehowonlinedatingisenteringtheiPadage.)Newpolicies:Thisiscauseforconcernforthegovernment.InresponsetothepublicoutcryoverMa'sinfamousquote—aswellascommentsfromothermoney-obsessedcontestantsonIfYouAretheOneandshowslikeit—theStateAdministrationofRadio,FilmandTelevision(SARFT)issuedaharshsetofnewrulesinearlyJuneformatchmakingprograms.Incorrectsocialandlovevaluessuchasmoneyworshipshouldnotbepresentedintheshows,thenoticeread.Italsobannedmorallyprovocativehostsandhostessesanddemandedthatparticipantsundergostricterscreeningproceduresandbecautiousbeforemouthingventurousremarks.Afterthenewpolicieswereannounced,allofChina'sdatingshowssaidtheywouldpromptlycomply.Pressurefromtheirparents:Asdisgustedasviewershavebeenbysomeofthecontestants,however,theycontinuetowatchreligiously.Infact,Jiangsu'sIfYouAretheOnehasbeenjoinedontheairwavesbyseveralcompetingprogramsinrecentmonths,includingLet'sGoOnaDateinHunanprovinceandRunforLoveinZhejiangprovince.Whyarepeoplestilltuningin?Audiencesliketheprogramsbecausethey'rehonest.TheyshowthecurrentrealityofChinesesociety,saysYanMu,oneofthefoundersofBaihe.com,anonlinedatingservicewith21millionregisteredusers.Youngpeoplearesofocusedonmakingmoneyandbuildingtheircareersthesedays,theyhavelittletimetodevotetodating—andcontestantsspeaktothesedifficultiesontheshows,hesays.Manypeoplefeelpressurefromtheirparentsandpeers,Yanadds.Itcanbeastruggletofindapartner.Moneymaynotbuyyoulove.ButonChina'srealityshows,itcanatleastgetyouadate.【热点话题】2010年6月7日,第十六届上海电视节在沪开幕,电视节目主持人30年朗阁雅思达人全球时事瞭望2010年7月第二期发展历程高峰论坛当日上午也在上海举行,赵忠祥、王小丫、曹可凡以及一大批研究电视节目发展的专家齐聚一堂。让人颇有些意外的是,一向“有一说一”的学者们在本次活动中显得非常含蓄,对某些节目的批评也只是蜻蜓点水,而曹可凡却大胆直言,称“目前的许多相亲节目,为了收视率,不要脸!”“不是嘉宾说得好,是剧本写得好”电视节目的恶性竞争已经引起了全国的关注,这也是本次论坛的研究题目。不过论坛的前半段却让人昏昏欲睡,专家学者都是避重就轻地谈了目前电视节目发展中遇到的问题。曹可凡的发言让人颇为意外,他单刀直入,直接向相亲节目开炮。他表示,这些节目的嘉宾都是经过严格的挑选,都是一些签约的艺人、模特,然后说设计好的台词。“今天我们所看到的不是一个介绍男女认识的相亲节目,它是一个情景电视连续剧。”“不是嘉宾说得好,是剧本写得好,以前是主持人念稿子,现在连嘉宾都念稿子了。”“我觉得现在最可怕的就是虚假的可怕,它提供了一个范例是现在什么都可以虚假,这个世界什么都是不真实的。”他还特别提到了马诺,他认为“愿在宝马车上哭,不在自行车上笑”(I'drathercryinaBMWcarthanlaughonthebackseatofabicycle.)的言论说出来,是电视媒体极大的悲哀。而同时参会的《非诚勿扰》制片人王刚,则回避了记者的采访。在接受记者采访时,曹可凡还预测,相亲节目一年就会死得差不多,而目前各个电视台的模仿竞争,会让这些节目死得更快,抢得先机的会稍微占一些便宜。有趣的是,曹可凡的这一番开炮,实际上也是将老东家东方卫视的相亲节目《百里挑一》也顺带骂了一通。他直言不讳地表示:“如果我是主事者,我不赞成做这样的节目,做节目的宗旨应该是超越,而不是跟从。”曹可凡还对以张悟本为代表的专家节目进行了批评,他认为:“这些所谓专家可能是欺骗了广大的观众,但是作为电视人、制作人,为什么基本的评判力和观察力都没有?”马诺PK李宇春马诺的这个现象之所以在今天出现,恰好说明
