"Of course, this is just a general statement, and the specific programs will be different." Su Yan said he was thirsty and was about to get some water. Director Wang saw that the cup was empty and refilled it himself.
"Each program has a different theme and requires different roles.
For example, in a travel show, eating everywhere is indispensable, so you can develop a very edible character; if it is a competition type, you can find someone who is completely unlucky or very lucky, such as..."
Su Yan didn't hide his secrets and spoke out all his knowledge about this aspect. The other two people listened in stunned silence. It's hard to believe that he has been doing programs for so many years and still looks like a layman to others.
Director Wang stood up with tea instead of wine and said, "Do you know if Director Su has any suggestions for the program "Happy Star Face"?" Wang Qian on the other side also looked at Su Yan expectantly.
In fact, when these two people appeared at the same time, Su Yan roughly understood the purpose of his visit. What was embarrassing was that he had never watched a single episode of the program and had no way of talking about it.
After thinking for a while, Su Yan asked: "Let's do it this way. When will your next recording be, I'll go to the scene and see it before we talk."
The two of them were naturally very happy and quickly said that it would be tomorrow afternoon, so please be sure to be there.
The meal was a bit tiring despite the other party's somewhat fawning attitude.
Now that he decided to help, he couldn't just pay lip service to it. After Su Yan returned, he still found old programs and started watching them.
The lineup is a bit like "Happy Camp", with the main MC Wang Qian leading several hosts he doesn't know well to conduct various sessions.
Some spectators are invited to the scene. When each celebrity's face comes out, they perform a talent show wearing a mask, and then decide whether to reveal the veil based on voting. Occasionally, the celebrity himself will appear to give surprises.
The program was considered average, but as an eight o'clock weekend show, it was not enough to watch. Over time, the audience became tired of the program and the celebrity faces they found became far-fetched, so the ratings naturally dropped.
I believe that Director Wang and the others also understand their problems, but they are suffering from the lack of new plans and can only take one step at a time.
As for the solution, it was either to change the program or replace it directly. Su Yan did not ask what the other party meant. Although in his opinion, the program was basically useless, it was someone else's effort after all. It would not be a problem to completely ban it directly.
Something that can be decided simply.
Anyway, I have to go to the scene tomorrow to see what Director Wang wants. I don’t have anything else, so I have so many creative ideas. If I really had to do them all by myself, I probably wouldn’t be able to use them all until I’m eighty years old.
...
I had a meeting with the writers group in the morning. Sister Hong has already decided on the guests for the next issue, and based on the information collected, she is quite confident about the premiere of "Star! Refrigerator".
Foodie has a rating of 8.3 on Douban, which is very close to some established programs.
The official blog has also released the promotion of the new program. The following replies are basically based on expectations. Especially after the promotional video of Hu Shuai and Jiang Xinying was released, it attracted fans to watch.
The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. The station attaches great importance to this revision. In addition to the continuous promotion of its own programs, big v, hot searches, some best-selling newspapers and well-listened radio stations have all been promoted.
The leader had already helped solve the only problem he was worried about, so Su Yan started fooling around until the afternoon.
When I saw that the time was almost up, I said hello and went to the recording site of "Happy Star Face" on the fourth floor.
The nearly 500-square-meter venue, exquisite scenery, more than a dozen cameras, and a team of more than 30 people made Su Yan envious.
There was a professional person in the audience talking about some precautions. Wang Qian was standing in the middle of the stage. A makeup artist was helping to touch up makeup. Director Wang led a few assistants to host the chat, but he was a little absent-minded and often looked towards the exit.
Su Yan thought he was looking for her and waved.
The absent-minded Director Wang didn't notice it, but the host next to him saw it and reminded him.
Seeing Su Yan coming to the scene, he smiled kindly, but the solemn expression on his face did not ease. Su Yan was also a little curious, but the recording was about to start and it was not suitable for conversation, so he randomly found a corner and sat down.
Although the program is average, the execution of the staff is still good.
The staff members all performed their duties. In less than ten minutes, the scene gradually became quiet, and the assistant PD also walked onto the stage with the clapper board.
With a sound of "Pa!", the recording officially started.
The joyful BGM sounded, the PD on the sidelines guided the audience to applaud and cheer, and the camera took a close-up.
The lights came on in the center of the stage. Wang Qian took the lead, followed by four young hosts, and walked to the center.
The audience was prompted to make louder noises.
Wang Qian was worthy of being the first brother, and he made jokes when he came up. He should have saluted, but he just stood there with an expression of enjoyment and listened to the cheers of the crowd. He even raised his hands to let everyone continue.
When I see the host interacting with me, I don't need to be prompted, and I take the initiative to call out my name and give my support.
However, there are some flaws at the end. If the assistant host next to him made a sarcastic comment, or took the initiative to stop the MC's behavior, it would be a complete small link. In fact, Wang Qian saw that the atmosphere was gradually declining, stopped on his own initiative, and began to speak his lines.
This reminded Su Yan, who was watching, of Brother Nan. If he were here, the effect would probably be different.
Next came the stage where celebrity faces came on stage. A boy wearing a horse-head mask sang a song by E-God. It wasn't very nice, but the audience still gave it a thumbs-up.
But Su Yan observed that in fact, most of the people around him did not press the agree button, and it was passed in the end. It seems that the backstage directly controlled the number of votes. This is where the program does not know how to innovate.
It's not real enough and there's no surprise.
If it were me, I would first of all vote according to the actual situation, let some of the photos that look particularly similar perform worse, and finally remove the mask and leave the show directly, or even let the celebrity himself come over to deliberately create effects, making the audience feel pity.
It can also be done the other way round, and the singing or other performances that are particularly good, but only slightly similar, are retained. It was your choice anyway, so you can’t blame the program.
This is the basic conflict creation, but the object is changed to between the players and the audience.
More than an hour passed, and Su Yan yawned, but the audience remained enthusiastic. After all, the invitees were all locals, and they were relatively familiar with hosts from this province, so there were very few opportunities to get in close contact with them.
I probably already have a plan in mind. I originally planned to come up with the program "Knowing Celebrities" after seeing so many hosts.
The basic framework is that a main MC will host with six assistants, the scene will be arranged to look like a school classroom, and then two guests will be invited to join as transfer students.
Freshmen naturally have to go through a process of getting to know each other. The transfer students ask questions about themselves and the hosts guess the answers, replacing the old-fashioned interview format of two people facing each other face to face and sitting on the sofa.
At the end of the show, different games are used to show another side of the guests.
But after observing for so long, only Wang Qian can take on the role of the leading brother. The others can hardly say a few words, and they all have no sense of humor.
"Knowing Stars" has very high requirements for characters. In the original version, the doorstep Hodong, the clever Heechul, the explosive Soo Geun, the giant Jang Hoon, etc. The MC's infighting is very interesting, and there is also the weekly divorce.
Wait a minute.
Just when Su Yan was having a headache, the program team announced a short break.
I was just about to go over and have a chat with the director when the studio door suddenly opened.
