Why did Michelle Ye retire?

Recently, I came to Oriental TV. Many people mentioned the reality show "Goddess's New Clothes" broadcast last year and asked me why I retired at that time. I have never publicly commented on this matter, even though my good friend Mo Xiaoqi was injured in the program. Because I have always felt that who cares does not need to be sentimental to explain. However, Xiao Mo told me that someone would care. He doesn't want to see me attacked and hurt, and fans and other good people care, because the truth should not be kept secret forever, but should spread positive energy. He encouraged me to write this article, so I raised my pen for the first time.

Last summer, the producer of "Goddess's New Clothes" contacted my agent to invite me to participate in the program, and told me that the form of the program was that actresses and fashion designers worked together to really design and cut fashion, and after professional selection, they sold these clothes on Taobao, and claimed that the program would be broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV platform. When recording the first episode of the program, I had great anxiety, because as an actor, I really didn't have the professional qualification of fashion design, so I learned from my partner designer very devoutly. He had design talent at a young age, and I was very impressed. He showed a lot of persistence and perseverance, which moved me and even admired me. Especially when he said on the stage that he would give love to depressed children like childhood, and he came to this stage for art, not for show, I couldn't help secretly cheering for him and shed moving tears.

I also encountered confusion in the process of recording the program. Since the recording of the first program, our five "goddesses" have been trapped in a big video studio, because the sixth goddess has not appeared for several hours. There is no ventilation in the shed. In the hot summer, we are stuffy and hot, and we sweat profusely. Although I wonder if the production team will often make such administrative mistakes and waste everyone's precious time and energy, this difficulty has not reduced my eager expectation for the process of making new clothes.

Finally, the producer informed the sixth goddess that it was not coordinated, so don't wait, the costume began! I think, should we start drawing design drawings? How exciting! At this time, my partner designer took out some pre-drawn drawings and asked me to cut paper as usual. I accepted the assignment with pleasure. After cutting the pattern, it's time to choose cloth! I'm going to the warehouse to choose my favorite fabric. I was about to leave when the designer's assistant secretly told me where the fabric she chose was, so I didn't have to go to great trouble to find it. I think foolishly, yes, my taste in material selection is definitely not as good as that of designers, so do it. After I "selected" the cloth and started to cut it a few times, the designer took out the clothes already made and ironed them for me, and told me that I couldn't make a series of clothes on the spot because of time, so I had to work day and night in advance to prefabricate them. I feel sorry for him, too. I think he is too cruel. So, I didn't participate in any opinions, just claiming that the clothes designed with the designer were "made" in front of the camera. At this time, the instructor arranged by the production team came to evaluate our clothes and put forward suggestions for modification. Years of experience in dressing before the curtain made me feel that the teacher was right and could be modified, but the designer insisted that his design was perfect and suitable for me without making any changes. At that time, I thought, well, my opinion is unprofessional, so I'd better listen to the designer.

Repeatedly recording several episodes, such a "clothing production process", clothes have never been included in my design opinions, and they are all made before recording. I gradually realized that this reality show is a "show" after all, and it doesn't need to be real, as long as it makes the audience feel real and beautiful. Until one time, the photographer asked us to film the process of drawing the design. My partner designer picked up a blank piece of paper and planned to draw red on the pre-drawn design. My heart thumped and I thought, can't he draw? Why paint? There were many audiences in the environment at that time. I immediately cleaned up my mood and chose to protect him. I told him quietly: you can't draw. The camera takes high-definition close-ups, and you will be photographed. If you can't draw, you'd rather not photograph this process and never be photographed.

The designer is a clever little boy with a good family. His excellent mother trained him to study design in France from an early age. This time, he is also equipped with a strong assistant team and public relations propaganda team, crowding round. The public relations director is also a lively boy. Once, I wore a dress without my own design concept, which really didn't look good. I felt deeply insecure, but he quietly told me: Don't worry, we have already made public relations with the judges, and you are the first tonight! My heart suddenly "thumped" again and asked: Is this the case? This tone is not like encouraging me, but showing off my strong public relations ability. Sure enough, I became the champion of the night. At the moment I won the championship, I didn't feel joy and glory at all, only shame and depression. Perhaps, my taste is really poor, and the clothes that don't look good won the championship; Perhaps, I should be ashamed of this honor, because there is no design concept suitable for me; Perhaps, Xiao Qi's tears when she was eliminated in the first episode and her complaints about unfairness were both right. . . . . .

At that time, a TV drama crew was about to start shooting, and I was frequently urged to join the group to shoot. Although I don't have a contract with the production team of The Goddess's New Clothes about how many episodes I need to record, I still want to try my best to record the whole season because I want to finish what I started. So I still insist on recording.

The fatal blow came when I was depressed and pretended to dress and film every day. My assistant Xiao Nan came to report, and the designer's public relations director told her the truth privately: all the clothes were made by gunmen from design to production, without the participation of designers, but the ready-made clothes were just on show! Judges are all public relations!

So, has my previous suspicion been proved? Can't draw, can only draw? You can't change any design because you can't change it? This dress, which I found inconspicuous, sold for a sky-high price of 2 million. Everything is fake? Come to perform for charity, not for performance? I am an actor, and I can act to make the audience feel that the story in this play is true; But I don't want people to see falsehood in the name of "truth". I'm here for a reality show, not for acting.

The essence of reality show should be to spread real and beautiful energy to the audience, but in the process of recording this program, I felt unreal everywhere, so I had the idea of quitting the game. I'm a senior at Wesleyan Women's University, and I'm a senior at Oriental TV. I'm like a sister to me. She came to visit the class to record the program, and she lamented that the program production and costumes were not good-looking. I reluctantly told her the reason, and she also supported me to quit the program, so don't waste time and energy. Out of respect for the broadcasting platform that has nothing to do with this matter, and goodwill to the producers and co-designers, I have never expressed any opinions on this matter for a year. I heard that the producer changed my role in the program to "anti-one" through editing because of my withdrawal, but I just laughed it off. Anyway, the whole story is fiction, and it doesn't matter what role you play. But the important thing is: in the program that should be truly reflected, I can't accept fraud, I can't act!

Finally, thank you very much for your support and trust. In the future, I will share more beautiful energy with you!
