Recently in Chengdu, an idol group composed of 7 boys with an average age of less than 8 years old announced their debut. The name of this group is Tianfu Youth League panda boys. Many netizens are critical of such a very young debut group. That is why children are allowed to come out to make money at such a young age.
1. Official attitude
Some time ago, CCTV just criticized idol development programs, believing that such programs allow underage teenagers to come out to make money, and their outlook on life and world view , the three values ????have not been correctly formed. At the age when it is time to study, I chose to make money, and came into contact with the world of adult utilitarianism too early. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has also restricted underage children from participating in variety shows.
2. The company’s response
In response to the criticism and doubts from various people, the company that operates the Tianfu Youth League immediately responded. The company stated that this is just a program for children to learn to sing. On the stage of singing and dancing, they will perform such exercises after studying, and among this group of children there are many children with excellent academic performance. Some children are also representatives of the subject, and some are still good students. Later, this company changed the group into Panda Children's Group, but I think everyone basically knows the intention of this company, because before that, there was already a TFBOYS, who successfully made a lot of money by cultivating idols, and successfully made Raising three children on the road to stardom. I believe this successful operating model is what many companies want to copy. This is why some companies are beginning to turn their attention to younger children, hoping to cultivate their own idols from an early age in the same way as idols.
3. It is not appropriate to join this world too early
In my personal opinion, these children who are less than 8 years old should not participate in the disputes of the adult world so early. Even if these companies will require these children to practice singing and dancing after studying, the operation of a company always needs money to support it, and they will definitely want to use some way to monetize it in the future. These children will also constantly think about this in their spare time. No matter how you make money, you will also imagine that you will become an idol star in the future. So I don’t agree with this model of operation, because children’s world shouldn’t be so utilitarian.
