Abstract

The modernist trend formed at the beginning of the 20th century liberated human nature from classicism, and psychological reality replaced material reality. In the overall shift of modernity, the forms of cultural and entertainment arts are also undergoing changes. Among them, variety shows, due to their comprehensive and entertaining characteristics, bring more modern viewing and communication effects. The "Super Smart Youth Convention", a mental Competitive variety show broadcasted in Chinese Mainland in 2023, simulates social relations such as intellectual competition, team cooperation, and interpersonal games in social relations by building a game landscape called "Smart City". This article analyzes the content interpretation and dissemination effect of the program, and conducts an analysis of contemporary social spiritual mobility and audio-visual modernity.
