I am a sophomore this year, majoring in civil engineering.
Severe variety show enthusiast.
My weekly schedule for catching up on variety shows runs from Monday to Sunday, which is even busier than going to school.
Especially I like various celebrity reality shows.
I feel like I can see the real sides of celebrities on the show and get closer to my idols.
But after watching it for a long time, Jiao Pei discovered that many programs were not as real as he imagined.
The point of a reality show is not the reality, but the show.
Variety shows have become a show for celebrities.
As for how he discovered it. Haha~ No one else, just familiarity.
No matter what you do, you will become perfect after doing it for a long time. Take one of his friends as an example. He worked as a waiter after graduating from elementary school. He worked for 8 years and he could tell the customers what they were eating by just asking!
There is also his engineering mechanics teacher. After class, he still has his own job - project supervision. He has been doing this for more than ten years. If the quality of the project is up to standard, the teacher will know by touching the thickness of the envelope.
By the way, there is also the school electrician who had a funeral two days ago. He has been working as an electrician for more than ten years. You can tell whether there is electricity by just touching it with your hands.
"Oh, it's so boring. When will there be a variety show without a script? It's going on and on, and it makes me irritated."
After Jiao Pei finished sighing with emotion, he opened "Run, Sisters!" and continued to read happily.
Don't worry about the script or not. Anyway, the star's long legs and little bear are all real.
Let's get moving. The female guest dances, so does he. It's very exciting.
"It is impossible to quit variety shows. In this world full of falsehoods, only the beautiful figures of the ladies can comfort my empty soul."
After Jiao Pei read it, he went to the toilet and came back to read it again. It was boring.
"Just. Average."
Turn off the variety show "Running Sisters!", go to Douban, and start scolding!
"What a bullshit show! The acting is not careful at all. It is forced to be funny, forced to confront, forced to tear up, and forced to impress the director. You are using your own mother to make a nest while fishing, right? Why don't you just use the shark dagger to 'hahaha'
The sound effects hit my head directly, making me laugh along with it! It’s a hot chick show, whoever sees it has a hole in their head!”
After scolding, watch your likes and replies increase.
"Ah~~It feels so comfortable~"
He was not the only one to criticize this show, many netizens were like-minded.
A few years ago, when there was no reality show like this in mainland China, any show could randomly achieve shockingly high ratings.
Let the celebrities chat and play some smart games, and you can achieve such high ratings, which will shock the capital!
Is there anything simpler than a reality show???
Isn't this much easier than putting all your effort into doing talent shows and stage performances?
At that time, industry experts analyzed that reality shows actually satisfy the voyeuristic desires of current audiences.
They want to see the daily lives of celebrities with huge status differences, whether they are also stupid like themselves, and whether little fairies also need to poop.
With low investment and high returns, the capital went crazy and poured into reality shows and variety shows.
Variety shows are blooming!
But in the past year, as there are more and more similar programs, there are too many homogeneous contents, and the scripts are obvious, the audience's aesthetic appreciation has improved, and the various scenes of being silly and cute have become indifferent, and the audience's enthusiasm
has gradually declined.
Just like Jiao Pei, he can't watch many programs.
In this regard, the "old bookworm" group is similar to Qidian. The more books they read, the more picky they become, but there is nothing they can do about being picky. If there is no very suitable book, they can only choose a similar bookworm to read. It is impossible to quit novels.
Yes, I can only find a book that I can read and then curse the author Jiang Zi.
After Jiao Pei was satisfied with the scolding, he closed Douban and opened Penguin Video.
"Kangkang, what program haven't you watched today? There seems to be a talk show. Instead of talking about a good talk show, I have to do a talk show actor reality show. It embarrasses me to death. Forget it, hurry up and watch the jokes.
Let’s see.”
Talk shows are reality shows, and there is a standard term in the online literature industry: violating audience expectations.
This is a major feature of Pujieshu.
Author, book title, introduction, decide whether everyone should open this book.
For example, after you have aroused the audience's expectations for farming stories, don't write a story about a lone ranger who upgrades to fight monsters. Because it violates the audience's expectations, they will come to farm. Readers who really want to see upgrades and fight monsters are reading.
By the time I got to the introduction to the title of the book, I had already run away.
In the end, both sides are displeased and deserve to be thrown into the street.
Jiao Pei turned on Penguin Video with a dispensable attitude, preparing to quickly watch talk shows and reality shows.
suddenly!
Four words appeared on the homepage of Penguin Film and Television.
"Desert Island Survival"
It was as if a light exploded in front of his eyes.
"Huh?"
He clicked in and took a look.
"A completely real desert island survival reality show. Four challengers will compete with the world-famous wilderness survival master Bell on an uninhabited island - Mingsha Island for a 90-day desert island survival career!"
"oh?"
"A completely real desert island survival reality show?"
The four words "completely true" aroused Jiao Pei's interest.
It's been a long time since he's seen a reality show dare to say that. If there's a script, there's a script. They just don't tell the audience, so as not to advertise that they are 'completely real', and they will collapse immediately after being exposed.
"So, if you dare to say this about this show, it seems like it has two tricks up its sleeve. Either the script is so scripted that people can't see it, or it's a real reality show!"
The corners of Jiao Pei's mouth unconsciously turned upward.
"interesting."
He has never seen this kind of survival reality show in China. At most, it is just a few celebrities driving a RV to have a picnic and chat.
This is the first time.
As we all know, men cannot resist the first temptation.
Jiao Pei clicked in directly and started watching.
Introduce the background directly at the beginning and get into the topic.
"The protagonists of this show are four employees of Duoyu Group. This trip to the desert island is a special reward given to them by the boss. Next, let us go to the uninhabited island that we are going to challenge this time - Mingsha Island
"
"Listen to what Mr. Bell, an internationally renowned wilderness survival master, has to say about this island."
"Next, let's take a look at the preparations of the four survivors one week before the recording of the program."
There is no nonsense in the program. The narration is introduced directly, and then the theme and the protagonists appear. The editing rhythm is very fast, and there is no such nonsense as surprises and awkward conversations. Between the flashbacks and quick mixed cuts, the desert island is
The tension before survival is revealed.
In particular, the following photographer captured the real performance of the four people during preparation, making the audience unconsciously become nervous along with them.
"Huh?"
Jiao Pei pressed the pause button, then dragged it back to 10 minutes ago and read the beginning again.
"Surprisingly, there are no ads??? It's a variety show without ads at the beginning. This is the first time I've seen it, no wonder it feels so smooth."
"And this editor. It's interesting that so many interesting scenes were only shot in one go. If this were given to the current reality show team, I'm afraid they would be able to edit two episodes of the show in these 7 days of preparation!
"
Not exaggerated at all.
And the audience might not even buy it.
Peep into selfish desires.
Jiao Pei continued to look back. At 15 minutes, the team landed on the island and officially began to survive on the desert island.
At this time, an overhead camera pulled up from the crowd, showing four survivors, Bell, the accompanying photographer, and the staff of a large ship. Finally, everyone turned into black spots, and the entire island was shrouded in the camera.
Down.
The feeling of insignificance of human beings in front of nature suddenly emerged.
"Hiss~ Add chicken legs to the photographer and editor! The texture is amazing!"
"And I suddenly kind of believe that this show might be a real survival show."
The protagonists this time are four amateurs. They are not actors. Their reactions are more realistic. They face the fear, caution, excitement, and worry of a desert island. All kinds of emotions are on their faces or flexible, this kind of natural feeling. I want to perform well.
It's not easy.
And it is obviously impossible for four amateurs who have never heard of it to have such acting skills, which proves from the side that what the crew of this show said is true.
At the same time, most of the old variety show viewers who were attracted by the title on the home page of Penguin Movies felt this way.
Again, if you have been in any industry for a long time, you will become very good at it. If there is electricity in the wire, an electrician who is more than ten years old can tell it by touching it.
The same goes for them when watching variety shows. They can tell after just a few glances whether there is a script or not.
The program continues to play.
There was no peeing for a whole 2 hours!
The rhythm is tense, the amount of information is large, and the editing is clean and neat. It retains suspense while capturing every wonderful moment.
In the first episode, the scene where Bell and everyone dig ant holes to eat termite eggs is very classic!
Eating earthworms raw, snails as sashimi, and inserting bird eggs through straws
All kinds of things that I would never dare to think about at ordinary times can be easily accomplished under Bell's leadership.
"The protein of this thing is 6 times that of beef. It will replenish energy for your actions today."
The four people did not have the pretentiousness of celebrities at all, but overcame their physical and psychological discomforts in order to survive. Their goal was decided from the moment they landed on the island. Survive! Survive for 3 months!
If they fall, they will be forced to quit the show. The four of them are trying their best to adapt! To survive!
At the end of 2 exciting hours.
Jiao Pei glanced at the progress bar that reached the end and was stunned for a moment.
"Is this the end?"
Then, he subconsciously looked for the next episode. There was none.
Today is the premiere of this program.
"Hiss~~ Wonderful variety show! Our country can actually produce such a top variety show! No! Variety show is not worthy of "Desert Island Survival", this is a real documentary! Isn't this better than Bo Ran?"
"Love it, love it!"
As an Internet critic, he opened Douban immediately.
Start a comment below the show "Cast Away".
First, maximize the rating star rating.
"I absolutely rave about this show! 5 stars! This shot, this quality, and this rhythm are amazing! I've only watched one episode, but I dare to say that this show is scheduled to be the best variety show of the year! Or the best of the year.
Documentaries, or anything else, are the best of the year anyway! Those who haven’t seen it can just jump to the idea, it’s so good!!!”
Jiao Pei excitedly wrote multiple exclamation points to express his current excitement.
After he finished posting his comment, he refreshed the page, and there were already dozens of comments on Douban.
All positive reviews!
"(Five Stars) The program team is really awesome. They rented a desert island for the program, with fixed lenses, drone cameras, and following photographers. Just watching the preparation phase of the first 15 minutes, I was blown away!
I just want to say something to the current variety shows: Do you dare to play something real?"
"(Five stars) It's so cool! I haven't seen such a hardcore variety show for a long time. This is what tough guys should watch!"
"(Five stars) I'm the only one who noticed that the girls in the foursome are particularly beautiful. They are sweet, well-educated, smart and brave. Oh my God, how can there be such perfect girls? I want to follow
She confessed!!!"
"(Four stars) One star is for the scene of eating raw earthworms. I am eating instant noodles!!! (PS: But it does look good.)"
"(One star) Sisters, please give this program a low score! Why did the program team find three men and one woman? Not two men and two women? Isn't this a naked preference for boys over girls? How do we women survive in reality?
The space has been oppressed time and again, and now it is openly favoring boys over girls on the big screen. When will we women stand up? We must bravely say NO to this kind of program! Let’s use our little hands and report the program for sexism!
"
——Reply: "Good guy, with this punch, the way of heaven is shattered!"
——Reply: "A path that I never imagined. Today's female boxers are really awesome."
——Reply: "Smelly idiot!"
Most of the viewers who have watched it so far, except for some crazy people, have given it a rating of 4 stars or above.
The emergence of "Desert Island Survival" shocked the variety show industry even more.
He doesn't play by the rules!
Producer: Wanheduoyu.
What kind of crappy company? I’ve never heard of it!
Ah? I used to do web dramas. "Unexpectedly", oh, that left a bit of an impression.
But why the hell did you suddenly switch to variety shows?
Why is this unique style, this sudden broadcast time, so different?
Except for a few well-informed companies at Penguin Film and Television, most of them didn't know about the appearance of this show.
Moreover, when the major variety show production companies finished watching it, the project leaders were silent.
Good stuff, everyone can see it.
At this time, the program team of "Running Sisters!", which is the perennial ratings champion, could not sit still and went to select desert islands overnight to urgently revise the content of the next episode.
The crew of "Infinite Adventure", which was broadcast at the same time as "Castaway", felt a sense of crisis.
Penguin Video’s old rival Neiku.com and the program director of Dried Mango became nervous.
A monster suddenly broke into the big pool of domestic variety shows!
Xiaoxing watched real-time online TV ratings, completion rates, website comments and ratings in the background.
I was a little nervous at first, but after seeing the data gradually taking off, I finally let go.
"Huh~ It seems there won't be any problems in the first episode."
The effect was even better than he expected!
"Thanks to the operation help of Penguin Film and Television, otherwise it would be difficult to get off to such a smooth start."
"It seems that Mr. Pu is right not to let us spend money on advertising. As long as our program is good, the website will provide promotional resources for free! We don't have to spend a penny, and the effect is quite good. Mr. Pu's level is still high."
"Haha~ Now, the gambling agreement with Penguin. We will definitely win."
