| Documentary TV program and entertainment TV program, which are basic genres of all, emphasize particularly on different social function. Contrary to its tradition, documentary TV program is also on the way of entertainmentization becoming to a part of entertainment TV program, as the trend of entertainment in Chinese TV industry is more and more popular. On the other hand, documentary element is increased in entertainment TV program. The interflow of documentary and entertainment, which lead to severe foul-up of social function, is just like to be new sight of Chinese TV industry.How can this phenomenon be happened, how to evaluate the influence it? After analyze from several angles of view, this text will advance my own point of view that this phenomenon will bring tremendous negative impact to both documentary and entertainment TV program. In name of documentary tradition, this mixed genre of TV program imposed by entertainment motive and commerce benefit overthrows the seriousness, responsibility and mentality of traditional documentary TV program. The logic rationality of documentary TV program as a routine program form is being challenged. On the other side, as potential cognitive function of excessive documentary elements in entertainment TV program continually weakens the meaning of game, our entertainment TV program is erring far away from its recreational aim. Too much educational function in entertainment TV program made it widely disputed.At the same time, this problem let us think what TV's essence is? This will be the key of this problem. As TV is a kind of culture industry, the balance of commodity and culture is very important. Only this be convinced of, can we treat rightly with the mingling and transplacement of documentary and entertainment TV program, and effectively resolve the dilemma of nowadays TV program: too much entertainment results in peripherization of its place in media industry, too much mainstream value means low audience rating. |
