Chapter 505: Shen Teng: After playing a game, the job is gone
"Super Ace" recording scene
When Zuo Le and others stood in the center of the stage, the host A Tao began to introduce the guests to the audience according to the program flow.
The two MCs, Shen Teng and Jia Ling, also began to use every opportunity to interact with the guests, giving as much time as possible to the camera to allow the guests to shine and get into the rhythm of the atmosphere.
And the best way is to create characters for the guests.
Indoor variety shows like "Super Ace" usually set a theme or element for each issue.
In the past, the first few seasons of "Super Ace" were all about big names or hype. They were usually tributes to a certain superstar or the reunion of a certain crew over the years.
Later, as the MC team was upgraded and the performance continued to increase, the program team gradually stopped clinging to feelings and became more open and diversified.
For example, the issue Zuo Le and the others are participating in today is called "Palace Treasure Hunt". It is obvious that it is specially designed to take care of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
For this reason, Zuo Le and others all changed into the costumes of their characters in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and the Ace Family also followed suit by dressing up as characters in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Shen Teng played the role of Imperial Physician Wen, Cao Wanyang, nicknamed "Cao Cao", played the role of the Prince of Nanjun, and Tong Gege played the role of the palace maid.
The author flipped through the book for a long time and finally remembered that Tong Gege was the heroine of the TV series "Sweet Death" at the same time when "Magic Phone" was aired. She was crushed by "Magic Phone".
At that time, she was ridiculed by anti-fans because of the poor reputation of "Sweet Death", and then the anti-fans stepped on her with Shui Miaomiao, the heroine of "Magic Phone".
This girl was also young and energetic, so she directly fought back. However, the conflict was always aimed at the anti-fans, but there was no gap between her and Miaomiao Miaomiao.
As for Jia Ling, both she and Shui Miaomiao are dressed like Zhen Huan, obviously to set off Shui Miaomiao and create a variety show effect.
This can be seen from the moment everyone came out, when Jia Ling started shouting about comparing her beauty with Shui Miaomiao, and then Shen Teng "taunted" her, and the two bickered.
The way in which artists use their own flaws to make people laugh is also a common practice in comedy performances or variety shows.
For example, if you are short, bald, dark, ugly, or fat, you will be used by artists to make fun of you.
In fact, if you use it more often, it will also have a benefit for the artist, that is, it will form a self-characteristic and be more easily remembered by the audience.
For example, the famous sketch actor Pan Huanghe liked to use his height in his sketches. Later, he used it too much, and other actors also followed suit.
During his peak period, he was always featured in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala sketches every year. Even if he did not participate, his name would be used in other sketches.
Over time, "short" has become Pan Huanghe's personal characteristic. When it comes to short celebrities in the industry, even if he is not number one, he cannot escape the top three.
The same is true for Jia Ling. One of the labels she puts on herself is "fat". If it's more detailed, it's a "funny fat woman", which is currently the only one in the entertainment industry.
Of course, as Jia Ling became popular, many plump female comedians also imitated her, but there are not many who have done so for the time being.
In addition to Jia Ling, Shen Teng actually also has his own comedy label. As far as Zuo Le knows, his performance in variety shows is particularly "lazy" and "empty", and he is very popular with the audience.
But having said that, this kind of label is just a character trait that actors can make a fuss about, and can only be used as one of the auxiliary means for performance.
If you want to really stand out, you have to rely on the actor's true ability.
Who wants to think that Jia Ling became famous because of being fat and Shen Teng became famous because of laziness? They are either stupid or mentally ill...
………
After the introduction of the guests, the theme of today’s palace treasure hunt was highlighted.
Ignore those stories that are just for the sake of the theme and go straight to the real stuff. Basically, the ace family and the guests are divided into two teams, and through some games, they get clues and finally find the palace treasure.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it doesn’t matter what the so-called theme is, it’s just a lucky draw.
Give the two teams some competitive incentives to make the logic of the game more complete, otherwise it would be too monotonous for the two teams to play the game dryly.
Of course, there are some special cases where the theme will be given practical meaning, but the number is very rare.
After the team was divided, because the ace team was small, the program team specially invited a flying guest Wang Di to help out.
I also know this Wang Dizuo Le, he is a variety show star, and he has been in major variety shows as MC and guest all year round.
When Zuo Le participated in the "Happy Dream Show" hosted by Tian Yan, he met him several times. He impressed me as a person with quick brain reactions, and often acted as a clown. He was very good at self-deprecating and livening up the atmosphere.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Di appeared on the stage, he started chatting with Shen Teng and Jia Ling, shaking off several baggage in succession, making the atmosphere more lively, and some nervous guests also relaxed.
No matter what Zuo Le said, there is also a host in the family who has been working hard in the variety show industry for many years. Although he does not participate in variety shows very much, his vision is still good.
He saw that the purpose of the program team to find Wang Di was to assist Shen Teng and Jia Ling.
This configuration is very common in the variety show circle, because many artists are not adapted to variety shows, and there are some introverted people who don't speak for the entire episode.
The guests don't get along with each other. No matter how powerful Shen Teng and Jia Ling are, they can't just torment each other.
Therefore, it is very important to arrange a variety show star among the guests to answer the call.
To put it simply, Wang Di is giving the guests the full details.
If guests like Zuo Le and others perform well, then needless to say, he should play as he pleases.
But if the guests have no clues, I'm afraid Wang Di will have to try his best to interact with Jia Ling, Shen Teng and other MCs to ensure that this issue is interesting.
Whether it's a movie, TV series or variety show, there are routines for everything...
Zuo Le sighed with emotion, and then started the game session under the command of the host A Tao.
………
The first game of this issue of "Super Ace" is called "You make gestures and I guess". It involves one party demonstrating gestures according to the prompt words, and the same team member guesses the word, and one point is added for the correct guess.
This game can be said to be the veteran game of indoor variety shows. It has been around since the 1970s and 1980s, or even earlier.
It still lasts for a long time, and its playability is still worthy of appreciation.
Of course, "Super Ace" has also made some changes to this game, that is, when the same team guesses the words, another team of two people is added to guess the words.
Then the two teams alternately demonstrate, cutting off each other's guesses, and whichever team guesses and scores more wins.
In the first round, the guest team demonstrated, Shui Miaomiao and Yin Tao gestured, Zuo Le and Wan Qian guessed, and the ace team sent Jia Ling and Wang Di to intercept Hu.
The content at the beginning was very simple, just a few celebrity names and common words. It was considered a warm-up, and the guest team took a small lead.
In the second round, Jia Ling and Shen Teng went up to compete, and the difficulty doubled.
And perhaps for the sake of variety show effect, Shen Teng and Jia Ling would choose to make some misleading and exaggerated gestures during demonstrations, which often made people confused.
For example, there is a phrase for "Farewell My Concubine". If it is demonstrated normally, one person pretends to be a beautiful woman and commits suicide, and the other person pretends to be an overlord who is in grief. Everyone can easily guess it.
But when Shen Teng demonstrated, he was stunned and repeated Xiang Yu's ultimate move from a popular mobile game over and over again.
Zuo Le and Shui Miaomiao, who had never played this game, were responsible for cutting off the beard in the audience this time. Looking at Shen Teng's gestures, they were both dumbfounded and both had confused faces.
?_??
?_?
Finally, the host prompted Cao Wanyang, nicknamed "Cao Cao" from the Ace Family, to guess it.
From a game competition perspective, Shen Teng's off-topic detour looks stupid.
But judging from the effect of the variety show, whether it was Shen Teng's immersed performance in his own world or the confused reactions of the guests and teammates in the audience, it undoubtedly formed a small high-energy episode.
In this kind of non-intense confrontational game, what the audience will always see is not the competition, but the funny interactions between the MC and the guests.
As long as you make the audience laugh, it is a success from a variety show perspective...
Shen Teng has shown maturity and excellence in variety shows.
Zuo Le was slightly surprised, but at the same time, he felt that it should be the case. Shen Teng's humorous personality and high comedy talent made him naturally funny.
Years of training in dramas and sketches have given Shen Teng extremely high stage performance, reflexes and scene control experience.
The combination of these abilities, and the support of Jia Ling, a great teammate, allow Shen Teng to excel in "Super Ace" with ease.
Shen Teng's outstanding performance also led guests such as Zuo Le to perform to a certain extent.
First, Zhang Jiajia and Yin Li were divided into groups, making gestures and guessing. There were a total of 10 questions in one round, and they answered 8, which shocked the audience.
In fact, it is not surprising. Zhang and Yin have been collaborating since "The Story of the Health Team". They are the rare non-plastic sisters among Shanhe female artists.
The two have known each other for many years, have a deep relationship, and often film together. The tacit understanding they have cultivated over a long period of time can be said to be the best team among everyone present, not even comparable to the Ace Family.
After all, the four of them, Shen and Teng, collaborated for two seasons of "Super Ace", and the recording time together lasted two months in one year.
Even though Shen Teng and Jia Ling are naturally compatible, they are still unable to match the friendship that Yin Li and the others have had as best friends for several years.
In the fourth round, Shen Teng performed extremely well and guessed three poetry questions in a row. Amid everyone's exclamations, he boasted of his high cultural quality.
Zuo Le, who was standing next to him, had an idea and added: "You can remember so many words, thanks to a good Chinese teacher."
This sentence comes from the line that Teacher Wang said to Charlotte in "Charlotte's Sorrow", and coincidentally, Shen Teng played the role of Charlotte and Zuo Le played the role of Teacher Wang.
Shen Teng's brain was also very fast, and he immediately had a look on his face: "Look, we even beat the teacher. It's so embarrassing. I'm sorry, Teacher Wang."
Zuo Le said expressionlessly: "It's okay, teacher doesn't hold grudges."
Don't look at just a few lines, someone else's jokes, and the actor who plays the role personally breaks the dimensional wall, the effect is completely two levels.
As Zuo Le and Shen Teng went back and forth, the audience who recalled "Charlotte Troubles" cheered loudly, and other guests also laughed.
It can be expected that if this episode is broadcast in the future, relevant clips from "Charlotte Trouble" will definitely be edited for comparison.
As for Zuo Le and Shen Teng's official linkage, the program team also asked the host to arrange an impromptu "teacher-student showdown" between Shen Teng and Zuo Le.
The result was Zuo Le's victory. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Shen Teng deliberately made fun of himself and let off steam.
But again, the outcome of the game is secondary, the main thing is to watch.
The "teacher-student showdown" between Teacher Wang and Charlotte is the highlight...
………
After the "You draw and I guess" session ended, everyone took a short intermission.
Don't just watch the TV, it's easy to watch artists playing games, but in fact, it's quite tiring to have to play games, produce effects, find ways to get shots, jump around, and shout.
Fortunately, Zuo Le's guests in this episode are all well-known actors, and they don't rely on one variety show to become popular. They have a calm mentality. It's best to show off and shine, and there is no loss if you don't.
However, MCs such as Shen Teng are not so relaxed and have greater responsibilities.
After resting for a while, Shen Teng and Jia Ling ran to the director team to discuss the program process, and then discussed the game dimensions with the guests.
The next game is called "Decision Making". The rule is that two teams of players sit face to face, holding a finger stick in their hands. They randomly select one person from the other party to ask a question. The chosen person answers quickly and the answer is correct. Otherwise, he fails. The whole team was punished by jets.
The whole point of this game is to see how tricky the questions are and how the guests will face them, so let them know in advance so that the guests can be mentally prepared.
Half an hour later, both sides finished lining up and the game officially started.
Jia Ling took the lead in attacking, pointing at Shui Miaomiao: "Who among the Ace Family do you dislike the most?"
Shui Miaomiao didn't expect it to be so exciting, so she hesitated: "...Shen Teng."
For problems like this that are easy to "offend", usually the MC will help smooth things over afterwards.
After Shui Miaomiao answered, Shen Teng had a look of understanding on his face: "There are four of us. You two girls, Miaomiao, are definitely not interested. The only one left is Cao Cao and me. Obviously I don't have the upper hand."
In a word, the "dislike" is transferred to who is more popular between him and Cao Cao, and the conflict is brought onto himself through self-defeat.
It not only created laughter, livened up the atmosphere, but also saved Shui Miaomiao, who was slightly embarrassed.
With this test of the waters, the guests had a good grasp of the situation and began to learn from it.
Yin Li was the first to attack Shen Teng: "Tell me what you think are the three shortcomings of Director Zuo."
"ah!?"
Shen Teng was startled: "How much hatred we have, you want to kill me."
Yin Li didn't care and asked, "Are you going to answer? I won't spray you anymore."
"Ta-ta-ta-ta."
Shen Teng glanced at Zuo Le and stamped his foot: "Nagging, stingy... dive after grabbing the red envelope."
After saying that, Shen Teng came over to hug Zuo Le's thigh with a look of fear on his face, and wailed: "Director Zuo, I was forced to do this. It's all just a joke."
"fine."
Zuo Le grinded his teeth and said word by word: "Old teacher, I don't remember grudges."
"Good guy, it seems like it's too much for me to go back, so I might as well do something big."
Shen Teng seemed to have smashed the jar, wiped his face, and made heart-breaking remarks to Zuo Le.
"Among the actresses in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" present, who do you admire the most?"
brush brush brush
Zuo Le felt the looks in his eyes from Shui Miaomiao and other actresses, his scalp went numb, and he glared at Shen Teng fiercely.
"I can't say who I admire, but I definitely dislike you the most."
呲
Zuo Le was sprayed, and then immediately asked Shen Teng: "Do you think you are now qualified to become the first brother of Shanhe?"
Shen Teng gritted his teeth: "Yes."
Then, ignoring the crowd cheering beside him, he asked Zuo Le again: "Tell me the three shortcomings of Teacher Tian Yan that you least tolerate.
"Oh oh oh!!!"
Shen Teng's suicidal questions and one explosive topic after another made the atmosphere on the scene so high that Jia Ling even shouted crazily.
"Oh my God, the director team has to give my brother a higher salary. For this game, Brother Teng offended his boss to death."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Even Zuo Le, who had agreed in advance to cooperate with Shen Teng on the topic, was confused when he heard this question. He held it in for two seconds before saying quietly to Shen Teng.
"Go back to the company next week and make an appointment with the human resources department."
