选秀海选是源于北方农村的一种选举方式:由选民直接提名、确定候选人,选举村民委员会。湖南卫视的选秀节目“超级女声”借用了海选这种选拔方式,极大地将这个词推广起来。另外,PK、复活等一些新词也被应用于选秀比赛中。选秀节目凭借极高人气使少数人一夜成名,引起其他媒体的仿效或责难。 Draft sea election is a form of election from rural areas in the north: direct nomination by voters, identification of candidates, election of village committees. Hunan Satellite TV’s talent show “Super Girl ” borrowed the sea election this way of selection, greatly promoted the word up. In addition, PK, resurrection and some new words have also been applied to the draft competition. With a high popularity, the talent show made the minorities fame overnight, arousing the imitation or censure of other media.
