The premiere of "China Star Jump" was "too cruel" and attracted the response of controversial directors.
The cattle were stunned.
Cow diving take-off action

Last Saturday, "China Star Jump" was broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV. As the first diving reality show in China, its novel program form was sought after by the audience on the day of broadcast. At the same time, some netizens questioned that the program was too "cruel" because the program was too realistic to show the players’ fear and physiological limits, especially after the 64-year-old cattle jumped from the 10-meter-high platform, which triggered a discussion among netizens.
Controversy 1: Self-mutilation reality show?
"China Star Jumping" is definitely the most cruel program I have ever seen. The cows are 66 years old, so they jump and watch their hearts break. After the program was broadcast, there were many "spit" programs that were too cruel, especially the 64-year-old cows were dragged to participate in the diving program.
"Heart abuse is definitely not the original intention of the program group," said Chen Wei, the general director. "The original program Celebrity Splash of China Star Jump is a challenge program. It is not a TV series, not a variety show, but a reality show. The spirit emphasized in this program is to challenge ourselves, so at the beginning of our contact with the model company, they hoped that we could invite players from all walks of life and all ages to participate."
It is reported that in the French version, the oldest is 67-year-old Gerard, in the American version, the oldest is 66-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and in the British version, the oldest is 59-year-old sister Helen Lederer. "For this program, the most important thing is not age, but courage. You may not imagine that before our training ground, an artist was afraid to jump again because of drowning, and finally the cattle persuaded her. Whenever we object to his request to challenge more difficult diving, he always asks us why others can do it. Chen Wei said, "If you don’t go crazy, you won’t have a chance" is what the cattle talk about every day.
"After all, it’s not a sports program," Chen Wei said. "The result is not the most important. What if you win the first place? Go to the Olympic Games? What matters is the process. "
Controversy 2: Do you play with dog blood?
Another focus of controversy in the program is that the cattle waited for the second jump on the 10m platform after the first jump. During this period, both the judge Zhou Jihong and the host persuaded the cattle to step down from the 10m platform, but in the end, the cattle finished his almost "heroic" jump, which many viewers did not buy, thinking that this was a pre-arranged "dog blood plot".
"None of us thought that Mr. Niu Niu made such a choice, which was witnessed by 800 viewers who participated in the recording on the spot," said Chen Wei. "In fact, the first jump of the cattle that day was problematic. It took us 18 seconds to get up from the jump, and we were anxious at that time. Judging from the material taken back by the underwater camera later, he was really stunned at that time," said Chen Wei, because the picture was too much.
"In fact, after the first jump of Mr. Niu Niu, all the directors hoped that Mr. Niu Niu could be eliminated." Chen Wei said that after the results came out, Niu Niu, Gao Hu and Asa entered the second round. As a result, before Asa jumped, Niu Niu climbed onto the 10m platform by himself. "We were in a panic at that time. At that time, Zhou Jihong’s first reaction was to persuade Mr. Niu Qun not to jump. All the hosts advised him, but in the end he pushed away the people around him and insisted on climbing the 10-meter platform," Chen Wei said. "After the recording of the program, Niu Qun told us that he had a hunch that he might be eliminated, so if he didn’t jump the 10-meter platform, there would be no chance."
"In fact, through this program, we hope that more people will pay attention not to how difficult it is to jump, but to whether they have the courage to stand on this platform," Chen Wei said. "If someone watches this paragraph, they will say to themselves, Wow, you are so useless, and other people are like this. How can I back down when I encounter difficulties? If the audience can think about it when watching it, I think our goal will be achieved. "
Controversy 3: Take public welfare as a gimmick?
Do you really want to do public welfare, or do you want to use public welfare as a gimmick to fight for ratings? In the program, the host repeatedly emphasized the public welfare of "China Star Jump" and why the stars jumped, which was questioned by some viewers-why not donate money directly if you want to do public welfare?
"Zhejiang Satellite TV has always emphasized public welfare and inspiration, and" China Star Jump "is no exception," said Chen Wei. "In fact, the program group has spent 2 million yuan as a targeted public welfare fund to help women and people in poor and arid areas in the west solve the problem of drinking water, but the problem is that many primary schools of the China Women’s Development Foundation have prepared cases, all of which have drinking water difficulties, and our ability is limited. We hope that through this program, we can tell you about it and let you know that there are such a group of children in the west who can’t drink clean water, so we tell the stars that every time you fly, it is valuable. We hope everyone knows what we are jumping for. Therefore, donation is not our ultimate goal, but only a means, and it is our ultimate appeal to let more people know about the project of "Safe Drinking Water on Campus" and make it a public welfare project that the whole society pays attention to and helps like "free lunch".
