Reality TV, seen from the Haha Family phenomenon

When viewers were tired of endless arguments, conflicts, and contradictions in reality TV shows, Haha Family suddenly appeared and created a fever called: healing show.

Haha Family - The Vast Sky Days is a reality show that takes the audience along with 5 actors, singers, and musicians: Jun Pham, Rhymastic, Bui Cong Nam, Duy Khanh, and Ngoc Thanh Tam to experience real farming life and explore local culture and customs.

Ignoring achievements such as continuously being on YouTube's trending list, VTV's top 1 viewership rating, or the top 2 most discussed entertainment programs on social networks, Haha Family brings the answer to the question: What is the formula for reality TV to win the love of the audience?

Leaving behind the flashy and bustling life in the city, at each stage, the artists will stay for 7 days and 6 nights at the homes of the local people, working, producing, raising livestock, fishing, growing, harvesting... and cooking meals together for themselves. If you want to eat fish, you have to go fishing. If you want to eat bamboo shoots, you have to walk for kilometers, cross many hills to go into the forest to pick bamboo shoots. If you want to have chopsticks to pick up food in the forest, you have to whet the bamboo yourself until they become chopsticks. If you want to have rice to eat, you have to go down to the fields to plow. Everything has to be done, discovered and experienced by yourself. The program does not create a filming set for the artists to perform, nor does it create challenges for the artists to compete. The program lets the story unfold freely according to the discovery of each character. And that is the factor that makes Haha Family different from other programs.

To let everything happen naturally, the program maker's job is to capture it. Through 3 episodes that have been shown, filmed in Ban Lien commune (Lao Cai), the producer shows serious investment and care in every frame, every camera angle. "Absolutely cinematic" is the most common comment from viewers about the image quality of Haha Family . Singer Jun Pham shared on his personal page that this is the reality show with the most cameras, lights, and perfectionism, and meticulousness in camera angles that he has ever participated in.

Not going in the direction of noise, dramatizing everything, Haha Family has footage that focuses on the feeling of calm, slowness, enjoying the simple moments that are happening, making it easy for viewers to feel relaxed when watching. Every meal is a gathering, laughter and endless stories. At the tea table or under the porch on moonlit nights are heartfelt confessions for each other... This is what makes Haha Family called a healing show by the audience.

In the end, it's all about feelings. After a long day, sometimes we just need to be moved and have a good laugh.
