Huang Lei’s ＂Kitchen God＂ collapsed： Why did it suffer from crazy vomit after seven years？

In China’s entertainment circle, the name Huang Lei is not only an actor, but also a cook who is called "Huang Kitchen" by the audience. He has won the fans’ love because he frequently shows his exquisite cooking skills in the variety show "The Life I yearn for". But who would have thought that with the passage of time, this "Chef God" person’s design actually collapsed after seven years, which triggered a frenzy and ridicule on the Internet, and even former hardcore fans began to question his cooking level. So, what is the reason behind this?

First, Huang Lei and the original intention of cooking.

Huang Lei quickly won the audience’s love with his gentle personality and slightly humorous cooking style in The Life I yearn for. This program focuses on "Slow Life", emphasizing rural texture and warm family atmosphere. The appearance of Huang Lei undoubtedly adds a little warmth to this program. However, Huang Lei’s cooking shows are not always perfect, and sometimes even some amazing "dark dishes" appear.

When the program was first broadcast, the audience was quite kind to Huang Lei’s performance, and they would be tolerant of occasional mistakes because of the novelty and program characteristics. However, with the gradual update of the program and the promotion of two-way expectation, people have higher requirements for the specific performance of Huang Lei cuisine. It is this change of audience’s mentality that makes Huang Lei’s cooking evaluation more and more controversial.

Second, the collapse of the "kitchen god" people set up

Recently, a new wave of questions about Huang Lei’s cooking has emerged frequently on the Internet, making this once highly sought after "kitchen god" no longer flawless. In the early days, his "Stewed Beans with Pork" was not properly handled, which led to the re-excavation of food poisoning incidents of Song Dandan and Batu, which not only caused the public to re-examine it, but also impacted Huang Lei’s image. In this case, Huang Lei tried to explain the mistakes with the excuse of "the beans are too old", which showed that when the audience turned from "appreciation" to "questioning", the occasional cooking mistakes were often magnified.

Next, his "pot-wrapped meat" unexpectedly turned into scrambled eggs, and the idea of adding hawthorn to taste was quite controversial. Although He Jiong used his high emotional intelligence to "remedy" it, it was still difficult for the guests to swallow, which also made the public frequently choose ridicule. These "fate operations" were edited and spread by netizens one by one, which inevitably triggered a large-scale spit. Related topics such as # Huang Lei stewed beans #, # Huang Lei pot-stewed meat # and even Huang Xiaoming’s "Ming Xue" rushed to the hot search one after another, and the kitchen that criticized the storm has become the birthplace of "jokes".

Third, the transformation of audience role

In the past, when viewers watched variety shows, they were often passively accepted. However, with the rapid development of social media and the evolution of online culture, today’s audience has gradually changed into "cyber judge". Whether it is the behavior of the characters in the program or the hilarious plot, netizens are willing to share their views, and even form a new discussion culture through secondary creation and editing. Huang Lei’s "cooking" was not only ridiculed, but also became the focus of the collision topic among netizens.

Fourth, reflection on the traditional authoritative image

This storm around Huang Lei is not only a question about his cooking level, but also a reflection of the younger generation’s re-examination of "authority". In the program, Huang Lei and Huang Xiaoming’s "parents-in-chief" setting reflects the traditional and authoritative leadership style, but in modern society, this role is particularly embarrassing. The audience no longer appreciates the rigid authoritative image, but hopes to see a more equal and interactive program atmosphere.

Through the voice of social networks, young viewers have begun to deconstruct traditional authority in a humorous and questioning way, expressing their disgust and resistance. Questioning "Huang Xiaochu" is a true reflection of this sentiment, even though Huang Lei himself may not have intended to seek such challenges.

V. Conclusion: Reflection and expectation

Huang Lei’s cooking controversy invisibly reveals today’s society’s confrontation and reflection on authority and traditional roles. Perhaps this wave of questioning experienced by Huang Lei is the epitome of the change of the times and the transformation of cultural psychology. The audience’s strong reaction to him forced us to re-examine the relationship between the role of variety shows and social culture. In the future, we look forward to more inclusive and interesting program forms, which can not only win the laughter of the audience, but also lead to deep thinking in a relaxed and humorous way.

In this trend, Huang Lei’s image may suffer some digestion and reconstruction, but it is undoubtedly an excellent inspiration for the future of the whole variety industry: it is no longer just a passive performer, but more necessary to integrate and understand the audience’s voices and emotions. Only in this way can it be invincible in the unpredictable entertainment circle.
