Recently, I When I came to Dragon TV, many people mentioned the reality show "The Goddess's New Clothes" that was broadcast last year and asked me why I quit the competition. I have never publicly expressed any opinions on this matter, even when my good friend Mo Xiaoqi was involved in it and was hurt after participating in the show, I did not say anything. Because I have always felt that no one cares, and there is no need to explain it in a pretentious manner. But Xiao Mo told me that there are people who care. He doesn’t want to see me being attacked and hurt. Fans also care, and other people with good intentions also care, because the truth should not be sealed forever. Positive energy should be disseminated. He encouraged me to write this article, so I picked up the pen for the first time.

Last summer, the producer of the program "The Goddess's New Clothes" contacted my agent to invite me to participate in the program. They introduced to me that the format of the program is for an actress to work with a fashion designer to create real designs. , tailoring fashions, selling these clothes on Taobao after professional selection, and claiming that the program will be broadcast on the Hunan Satellite TV platform. When recording the first episode of the show, I had a lot of trepidation because as an actor I really didn’t have professional qualifications in fashion design, so I learned from my co-designer devoutly and was very impressed that he had the skills to design at such a young age. His talent, his persistence and perseverance made me moved and even admired. Especially when he said on stage that he would dedicate love to children with depression like his childhood. He came to this stage for art, not for show, I couldn't help but secretly cheer for him, and even shed tears of emotion. tears.

I also encountered confusion during the recording of the program. From the beginning of the recording of the first episode, the five of us "goddesses" were trapped in a large studio waiting because the sixth goddess did not show up for several hours. There was no ventilation in the shed. In the hot summer, we were sweating profusely while waiting. Although we were wondering that the production team would make such administrative mistakes and frequently waste everyone's precious time and energy, this difficulty was not at all difficult. Minus my eager anticipation for the upcoming process of making my own new clothes.

Finally, the producer informed that the sixth goddess has not been coordinated yet. No need to wait any longer, the costume making begins! I think, should we start drawing design drawings? How exciting! At this time, my co-designer took out several pre-drawn drawings and asked me to make paper-cut versions. I happily accepted the task assignment. Now that the pattern is cut, it’s time to choose fabric! I planned to go into the warehouse to pick out the fabrics I wanted. Just as I was about to leave, the designer's assistant secretly told me where the fabrics she had already selected were placed, so I didn't have to go to all the trouble to find them. I ignorantly felt that, yes, my taste in selecting materials must not be as good as the designer's, so let's just deal with it. After I "selected" the fabric and started cutting a few cuts, the designer took out the clothes that had already been made and asked me to iron them. He told me that due to time constraints, it was impossible to make a series of clothes on site. It was prefabricated day and night. After hearing this, I felt very sorry for him and felt that he was working too hard. So, without any input from me, the clothes, which were said to be co-designed by me and the designer, were "made" in front of the camera. At this time, the instructor arranged by the production team came to evaluate our costumes and put forward some suggestions for modification. With many years of experience in dressing on-screen, I felt that what the instructor said was reasonable and that it could be modified. However, the designer insisted that his design was very Perfect, fits me perfectly, no modifications required. At that time, I thought, well, my opinion must be unprofessional, so I should listen to the designer.

The recording of several episodes of the program started over and over again. In this "dress making process", the clothes never had my design opinions in it. They were all made before recording. I gradually realized that this program Reality shows are just "shows" after all, they don't need to be real, they just need to make the audience feel real and good-looking. Until one time, the photographer asked to film the process of us drawing the design. My partner, the designer, picked up a piece of white paper and planned to draw red on the pre-drawn design. My heart skipped a beat and I thought : Could it be that he doesn’t know how to draw? Why should he draw? At that time, there were many viewers. I immediately calmed down and chose to protect him. I quietly told him: You can’t trace. The camera is a high-definition close-up shot and will capture you tracing. If you can’t draw by yourself, I would rather not take this photo. The tracing process must not be photographed.

The designer is a very well-behaved little boy with a good family background. His excellent mother trained him to study design in France since he was a child. This time he came to the competition with a strong assistant team and public relations team. It's quite elegant to shout after you and support you. The public relations director is also a lively boy. Once I was wearing a piece of clothing that had no design concept of mine and I really didn’t think it looked good. I felt deeply unconfident, but he quietly told me: Don’t worry, we have already talked to the judges. Okay, PR, you are number one tonight! My heart suddenly thumped again, and I asked in my mind: Is this so? This tone didn't sound like he was encouraging me, but rather he was showing off his strong public relations skills. Sure enough, I became the champion that night.

When I won the championship, I felt no joy or glory at all, only shame and frustration. Maybe my taste was really bad. I won the championship with clothes that I thought were not good-looking. Maybe, I should be well-deserved for this honor. Because none of the design concepts are mine; maybe the tears Xiao Qi cried when he was eliminated in the first episode and the injustice he complained about were all right. . . . . .

At that time, a TV series crew was about to start filming, and they kept urging me to join the crew for filming. Although there is no contract between me and the production team of "The Goddess's New Clothes" to specify how many episodes we need to record, I still want to work hard to record the entire season, because things have to start and end. So I insisted on continuing to record.

The fatal blow came when I was frustrated and pretending to be making clothes every day. My assistant Xiaonan came to report, and the designer's public relations director told her the truth in private: all the clothes, from design to production, were made by gunmen, without the participation of the designer himself, and they just used the ready-made clothes for show on the show! The judges are all public relations experts too!

So, have my previous doubts been confirmed? Can’t draw but can only trace? Can't change any design because I don't have the ability to change it? This piece of clothing, which I thought was inconspicuous, sold for a sky-high price of 2 million. Is everything fake? Are you on the show for charity, not for show? I am an actor, and I can act to make the audience feel that the story in the play is real; but I don’t want people to see it as fake in the name of “realness”. I am here to participate in a reality show, not an acting show.

The essence of a reality show should be to spread real and beautiful energy to the audience, but during the recording process of this show, everything made me feel unreal, so I had the idea of ??quitting the competition. My senior sister from Wesleyan Women's University is working in a senior position at Dragon TV. She and I are like sisters and came to visit the recording of the program. She lamented that the production and costumes of the program were not good-looking. I reluctantly told her the reason, and she supported me in quitting the show and not wasting time and energy. Out of respect for the broadcast platform that has nothing to do with this matter, and my kindness to the producers and co-designers, I have never expressed any opinions on this matter for a year. So when I later heard that the producers had changed my role in the show to the "anti-character" through editing because of my withdrawal, I just laughed it off. Anyway, the whole story is fictional, and it doesn’t matter what role you play. But the important thing is: in a program that is supposed to be truthful, I cannot accept fraud, and I cannot continue to act!

Finally, I am very grateful to my friends and fans for their continued support and trust in me.

In the days to come, I will also share more beautiful energy with everyone! Sooner or later Dragon TV will be accused of plagiarism! ! !
