The widest version of the Got Talent show settles in China By Yuan Yuan:WondersoftheWorld论文

As an all-male dance troupe from the Philippines did backflips and splits in stilettos on stage, the four judges and audience members cheered and applauded,giving them a standing ovation.

It’s become a common scene on the new TV program World’s Got Talent (WGT) on Hunan TV. The 63 teams of contestants from 49 countries and territories are mostly winners from Got Talent shows across the globe, now competing on the world stage in a crowd of winners.

Originating in the UK in 2007, Britain’s Got Talent has spawned spin-offs in over 70 countries. Co-owned by Fremantle and Syco Entertainment, the show has versions across Europe, the Asia Pacif ic, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas.

Simon Cowell, who created the Got Talent format and worked as a judge for both the UK and the U.S. shows, expressed his wish to create a world version of the show for quite some time.This has finally come to fruition and is taking place in China, specif ically in Changsha, capital city of central China’s Hunan Province.

把社会主义核心价值观贯穿于农村生活的方方面面,在乡村治理中体现社会主义核心价值观导向[8]。加强人民群众的精神文明建设,只有提高群众的精神意识,他们的文化素质及思想才能得到提升。树立正确的乡村价值观,让广大乡村群众得到发自内心的满足感与幸福感。除了精神建设以外,还需外在的动力,如培育先进典型,用他们的模范行为、高尚人格感染和带动群众;广泛开展群众精神文明创建活动,传承培育优秀家风家训。

A world show

“When I brought up the idea of hosting a world version of the Got Talent show in early 2016,few thought I could really make it happen,”Yin Xiaowei, CEO of Fremantle China, said. In October 2016, Yin rolled into action and within nine months, she had a team working specif ically on the project.

Born and raised in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, Tulga, like many other Mongolian boys, liked wrestling and the nomadic lifestyle.As a teenager, he joined the circus and made a career of it for the past 15 years. Seven years ago, he started his strongman act. He likes spinning a heavy pole on his back. “When I am spinning the pole it reminds me of wrestling,”Tulga said. “I love wrestling and the circus and when I have both it’s amazing. I try to practice every day with my props such as a telephone pole, bowling balls, car tires and kettle bells.”

The preparation didn’t go smoothly until cooperation with Hunan TV, a provincial TV station in China that is open to ideas from around the world. On April 19, the program was f inally launched on primetime.

洪水发生原因有很多种,主要是以急降水、风暴、急剧冰雪融化等,造成江河湖海的水位迅速上升,从而引发洪水[2]。洪水具有流量大、速度快的特点,且来势汹汹,破坏力极强。洪水灾难具有两元化的特点,由洪水的自然特征和社会的经济特征两个方面构成,两个方面的特征要通过多层次、多样性的指标来进行描述[3]。其中,洪水灾难的自然属性指标一般采用洪水发生的时间、地点、范围、程度等方面来进行描述,而洪水灾害的社会经济属性则一般采用耕地、人口、房屋、工商企业、家庭财产、基础设备、农林牧渔业情况等方面来进行描述[4]。

The 63 teams of contestants were organized into nine groups for the initial competition. Each team had one winner selected by the audience and another chosen by the four judges. These 18 winners were then put in three groups for the semifinals. In addition, each judge can press a golden buzzer once that will send a contestant straight through to the final round.

The contestant search, which began in July 2018, took months to finalize. Tiffany Yao,Fremantle China’s project manager of the foreign teams from around the world and in charge of casting candidates, said based on the Got Talent criteria of “any talent, any age, anywhere,” they selected contestants in seven categories: singing,dancing, musical instrument playing, acrobatics,creativity, culture and magic/others.

“We were surprised to get an e-mail invitation from WGT,” Junior New System (JNS), the all-male dance troupe from the Philippines, told Beijing Review. “It is a Got Talent show not just for one country but for the whole world.”

In 2018, JNS made waves on America’s Got Talent. Cowell commented after their performance, “I think this is going to be the most talked-about act and for all the right reasons.”

Yao noticed this group in 2015 when it f irst took the stage on Asia’s Got Talent. “They broke routine and combined dancing with high heels,”Yao told Beijing Review. “This innovative performance is just what WGT was looking for.”

Growing up as neighbors in a poor area of Sampaloc, Manila, JNS was formed 10 years ago when its members were very young. They started off entering street competitions. Since they didn’t have regular jobs aside from dancing, they relied on the prize money they won for their main income. “We felt energized every time we heard people cheering for us,” JNS said.

5.劳动力流出严重。由于各个因素导致农村经济收入较低,年轻劳动力被迫外出他乡。有的父母为了子女的教育问题不得不带上自己的子女,甚至举家搬迁到条件较好的地区安家落户。因为劳动力的流出从而导致田地荒芜、消费流出、空巢老人,空巢子女等一系列问题。这一列问题导致了生产力的下降,从而影响了经济的发展。

Their performance awed more audiences which led to invitations to bigger events. “The Got Talent shows gave us a platform to showcase our talent to the world,” JNS said. “We would like to inspire our fellow youths who have similar dreams that no matter where you come from or who you are, just put heart, determination and passion into your craft. Nothing is impossible.”

In the eighth episode of the initial competition, they were the audience’s choice and entered the semif inals. “We are happy performing in front of a Chinese audience because they’re so appreciative,” JNS said.

Tulga, a Mongolian who won the audience’s choice during the second episode, also expressed his appreciation of the Chinese audience. “Out of all the shows I have been on, the show in China was my favorite,” he told Beijing Review. “The crowd showed me lots of love and I made lots of Chinese friends.”

Making his name as a weightlifter on other shows, Tulga has participated in shows in many countries and was very excited when he got the invitation from WGT.

在我国气象事业的发展过程中,气象档案管理有着重要的意义和作用。气象档案具有一定的特点,即真实性和可靠性,同时在促进社会现代化建设方面具有重要的作用。本文阐述的主要内容是气象档案管理的重要性,促进气象档案管理建设的举措,即加强队伍的建设、对气象管理工作进行规范、对气象档案资源进行开发等,目的是为了更好的促进气象档案事

“The show in China had the f iercest competition and largest program out of all the shows I have done,” Tulga said.

China’s Got Talent made its debut in 2010 on Dragon TV and was an instant hit. But to host a world version demanded many more considerations. “The stage design alone is a big challenge,” Yin said. “The show involves various forms of performances including acrobatics,magic and dancing and the stage needs to meet all their requirements.”

Team leader Omurzakov participated in Czech & Slovakia’s Got Talent in 2011 alone and got the gold medal. “My childhood movies influenced my decision to start dancing,”Omurzakov told Beijing Review. “I was watching 1980s and 90s f ilms where there were robots.I liked them very much and I started to imitate them in front of the mirror. I studied and learned for 10 years, and then I began to teach other youths everything I had learned.”

It is the first time Tulga has performed in China. In the first round of the competition,Tulga spun a 6-meter 50-kg log with four people on it and also a 5-meter 40-kg log held in his mouth. “I held my breath when he used his teeth to hold that heavy log,” a netizen posted online after watching the program. “He is the strongest man I’ve ever seen.”

综上所述,长株潭创客空间仍处于自发发展阶段,优化布局和资源共享的局面远未形成,一方面,创客空间与本地重点产业对接不足,主业特色欠缺,未能有效发挥支撑地方产业转型升级的创新驱动作用;另一方面,三座城市创新资源分布不仅不平衡,而且不平衡状况在加大,增加了劣势城市创客空间取得和使用创新资源的交易成本。上述局面从根本上导致了同质化竞争、资源使用低效、服务地方经济能力不强等突出问题。

Not just about winning

The Atai Omurzakov Totem Show, a performing troupe from the Czech Republic, were popular on China’s social media including Douyin (Tik Tok) even before their appearance.

Dressing up like senior citizens, the group,mostly made up of 18-year-olds, wowed the viewers with their flex dance. They imitated robots with a shade of the dancing style of Michael Jackson.

“When I heard the news I was touring with a circus in the U.S. but I started practicing right away,” Tulga told Beijing Review.

土建工程全称为“土木建筑工程项目”,也可以称其为土木与建筑的综合内容。它在人类社会发展进程中起到可重要作用,能够给我们提供生活、生产等活动场所与建筑空间的支持。土建工程对外部环境适应效果良好,无论是地上房屋建筑、地下停车场、地铁、水上工程都能高效应用,当前其在社会中的涉猎范围涵盖了军事国防、航天航空、城市交通、水利港口等等,由于其内容范围较大,所以其在国民经济发展中起到重要作用,大部分空间与场所的修建都需要以土木工程为基础,因此其也被称为基础建设单位[1]。

David Foster, a renowned musician from Canada who has won 16 Grammy Awards;Vivian Wu, or Wu Junmei, a Chinese actress and an Academy Awards voter; Coco Lee, a Hong Kong-born U.S. singer and songwriter; and Xie Na, a popular host in China, are the show’s judges.

One day in 2018, a group of teenagers appealed to him to let them be his students.He saw their performance and saw great potential. With them, he formed the group Atai Omurzakov Totem Show. So in January, when he got the invitation from WGT, he was thrilled.

“I always dreamt of participating in a global talent competition. After receiving the invitation, I was very happy and started to prepare a performance that could surprise the viewers,”he said.

This was also the troupe’s first show in China. They won the judges’ choice in the f irst round of the competiti on. During the semif inal aired on June 21, they staged a new act incorporating some Chinese elements such as the Peking Opera. Titled Magic Museum, the act featured the performers dressed as terracotta soldiers with faces painted the color of dark brass.

The creativity and their brilliant performance made them the only winner of the semifinals in the f irst season. Tulga, who was also in that round, failed to advance into the f inal round.

However, winning is not the only reason to compete, many contestants also place great importance on the message they want to share through their performances.

《报告》多次提到一个半多世纪前发生的美国内战、一个世纪和半个世纪前的两次世界大战、近三十年前结束的冷战以及早已解体的前苏联(Civil War,two world wars and the Cold War,Soviet communism)。通过模糊这些历史事件的具体时间点,使得听众很容易将当前的局势与过去的动荡、竞争和冲突联系起来。这些历史事件唤起了观众对战争的残酷、血腥和黑暗的心理记忆和恐惧情绪,并且会无意识地将美国的当前形势与动荡、竞争和威胁联系起来。这种时间趋近化策略很好地利用了人们对于战争的恐惧心理,让美国公众相信强化国家军事力量的必要性,从而巧妙地将增加军备支出政策合法化。

“During the f irst round of the competition,Tulga’s father went on stage during the performance to support him, during the semifinals,it was his daughter,” a netizen wrote online.“They are a great family. I can feel from his big and lovely smile how he loves his work and his family. This happy message is very infectious. It doesn’t matter whether he wins or not.”

Omurzakov’s group hopes their dance can awaken the soul and pass on its beauty. “With our dance we convey a lot of philosophical thoughts about life values and true love for art,”he said.

Deng Nanzi, a magician from China, won the audience’s choice with his Rubik’s Cube performance in the f irst round of the competition. Deng, who has been performing magic for about 10 years, said the most impressive experience is to teach students magic and inspire them to have scientif ic and technological ideas through learning magic.

Shi Yanze, founder of the Yanze Martial Arts Troupe from central China’s Henan Province,brought his students, all born after 2000, to perform a martial arts show. Among them, two little boys including Shi’s son, were born after 2010.

Even though David Foster said he was“blown away,” by their act, they didn’t advance past the first round due to the fierce competition. But Shi was happy to have had the opportunity to display Chinese kungfu to a wider audience this time.

“These young people are the future of Chinese kungfu,” Shi said. “We are here to encourage more people from China and around the world to understand how wonderful it is.”
