Man's tear
A total of more than 60 men in showbiz are participating in two music shows, " Brother Over Thousands of Thorns" and "Brother Say Hi" with many similar formats (scripts).
Tuan Hung himself once shared that he himself did not expect to cry so much in Brother Overcoming Thousands of Thorns. On his personal page, Tuan Hung wrote many times about crying on this show. "We're all men together, but whoever is eliminated hugs each other and cries, it's strange" - Tuan Hung expressed.
However, when watching The Brother Overcome Thousands of Thorns, the audience was surprised by more tears than that. In the first 5 episodes, the program did not eliminate anyone, so tears were overflowing.
It can be seen in the image of ST (Son Thach) - former member of group 365 bursting into tears in the performance Awakening after hibernation when performing with Binz, Bang Kieu, former famous player Hong Son. After this performance, the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter family also hugged each other on stage.
In the behind-the-scenes image, People's Artist Tu Long cried when receiving a gift pillow from singer Thanh Duy. Or, even on the second performance night, after the scores were announced, the groups hugged each other in tears. Duy Khanh couldn't help but burst into tears. Before that, Duy Khanh cried when she finished performing the performance "Winter Coat - Return" when performing with Thanh Duy, Bui Cong Nam, and Thien Minh.
In a conversation with Lao Dong reporters, MC Thanh Trung also admitted, "The program had more tears than the audience imagined." Thanh Trung himself also revealed that he cried. Thanh Trung's reason for crying was shared: "I cried, but not for myself, but in sympathy with the stories of my colleagues. I cry because of their journey, because of their strength."
In the rival program "Brother Say Hi", gathering 30 "older brothers" at a much younger age than "Brother Over Thousands of Thorns", but tears were also overflowing.
Right after the night the results of the first 6 contestants were announced, the image of Song Luan hugging rapper Tage and sobbing was widely shared. Duc Phuc also burst into tears when Pham Anh Duy was eliminated.
Duc Phuc said with tears in his eyes: "Right now I really want to stop and let Mr. Duy continue. During the meal together, Mr. Duy said that this program was like his last chance."
Is crying part of the script?
When tears appeared too much, reality TV shows were questioned about whether or not they abused tearful stories to attract ratings and seek sympathy from the audience?
Answering this question, Isaac of Say Hi Brother once shared that the singers being eliminated had to stop - it really had a big impact on their emotions. "Because, being together is a very wonderful thing for us" - Isaac said.
Thanh Trung of Brother Overcoming Thousands of Thorns shared: "Our greatest success is not only in the show, but also in the love that 33 people have for each other. Before joining the program, there were 33 of us who had never known each other, but after living together and practicing for a long time, we became a very large family, promising to accompany each other even after when the program ends. As much as the audience is afraid of saying goodbye to one of the 33 "talented guys", we are also afraid. We are afraid of being away from a loved one, away from someone we have bonded with."
At the age of over 30, when they are grown men with a certain reputation - Thien Minh affirmed that it is very difficult for any script to force those men to shed tears or cry on television. figure - if they don't want to.
The question is, how many tears is enough on reality TV?
