976. Talk Show
After venting, everyone finally started talking about something else. But it wasn't early, so it didn't take long for several people to fall asleep.
After a night without saying anything, Zhou Fangyuan got up early the next day, went to the pressure well to fetch water and washed his face, and when he returned, Huang Xiaochu had already turned on the fire and was ready to cook.
Breakfast is even simpler, millet porridge with meat buns, which are bought from the town. No one picks whether it is delicious or not, four people gather around the table in front of the small table, drink a mouthful of porridge, eat a mouthful of steamed buns, and take a bite of pickles, which can be regarded as delicious.
After eating, Zhou Fangyuan should leave, because the guests of the second phase are about to call.
After saying goodbye to Teacher He and Huang Xiaochu, Zhou Fangyuan got in the car provided by the last section and left the mushroom house.
But he didn't leave the capital directly, but turned around and entered another studio, yes, this is the second program opened by Yuanfang Media this year - "Tonight's Talk Show".
Talk shows can be regarded as a type of reality show.
The origins of this kind of show can be traced back to the 18th century coffee bar gatherings in England, where people discussed various social issues and were the prototype of talk shows. However, the real development of talk shows is in the United States. 、
In the 20th century, with the advent of radio and people's enthusiasm for public gatherings, more and more people turned their interest to discussing through the new medium of radio, which also catalyzed the birth of talk shows. Unlike today, talk shows back then were mostly one-word halls, where an expert gave an opinion to the audience without the audience's participation. Beginning in 1933, many new forms of talk shows appeared, and the audience had the opportunity to actively participate in the discussion. At the same time, the focus of talk shows is often on some social issues that have received widespread attention.
Since the 80s of the 20th century, talk shows have become a major fashion, and their influence on society cannot be underestimated.
In the United States, various talk shows account for 40% of the total number of TV programs. Talk shows have also become a carrier for recording great changes in culture and society, and the content of the program is inseparable from the development of politics, economy, culture and society. In radio talk shows, most of the political programs represent conservative views, adding some factors of instability to the changing society of the United States, and even attracting widespread attention and criticism during the Clinton era. Daytime TV talk shows are obsessed with revealing privacy and are known as "TV trash" and are offended by many.
Of course, more people still love this kind of show, so the talk show has developed on a huge scale in the United States.
In China, this life is only six years, and tonight's talk show is not the main creator, it can only be a little innovative in form, but there is almost no change in the model. Talk shows, in fact, if you think about it carefully, is it very similar to stand-up comedy? It can be a host talking on stage, or you can invite some guests. If there is only one host, is it the same as stand-up comedy? If you want to say this, then talk shows are even earlier in China, at least one of the modes appeared very early in China.
So let's not talk about this life here, let's talk about the previous life, as of Zhou Fangyuan's rebirth in the previous life, the development of talk shows and other programs can only be said to be average.
Especially when it comes to television, the development is really not good.
TV talk shows are frequently dying, and online comprehensive talk shows are gradually picking up, and there is also a key problem in this that lies in the "network sense". The reporter found that the talk show itself is a highly entertaining program type, which requires from the subject matter to the topic, from the guests to the content, to have the "network sense" that we often talk about, which is more in line with the appetite of young audiences. From this point of view, the online environment is obviously more suitable for the growth of the talk show genre than the TV side.
And the talk show itself is facing a very real problem, that is, the disconnection of talents with writing, although a series of programs such as "Tucao Conference" have opened the door for talk shows to enter the domestic market, the problem of talent disconnection has gradually emerged, including talents in both speaking and writing.
Talents who say "talk" first, there is never a shortage of stars in the entertainment industry who can sing and dance performances, but when it comes to "speaking", there are not many artists who can speak and speak, and there are even fewer talents like Dapeng and Zijian who can support a show alone. At this point, "Wonderful Story" chose to use derivative programs to select talents, while "Tucao Conference" played a star tactic, inviting several celebrity guests to take the stage together in each issue.
When it comes to "writing" talents, for talk shows, the more scarce talents lie in the writers and screenwriters, and more programs may put the cost on the artists, which tends to be heavier and heavier, but shouldn't the focus be on the screenwriter team at the beginning? This is the core of the talk show. You invite celebrities, you invite this, you invite that, yes, attract attention, attract the audience, but what happens after you attract them? Do you just look at the faces of the stars? Can you attract the audience just by just a few celebrities giggling on stage?
can be attracted, at most, some iron fans, really ordinary passerby fans, just too lazy to look at a bunch of celebrities stupid.
Therefore, the vast majority of viewers, watching the show, mainly watch the content. The content is well done, it would be better if there were a few more stars, but it really doesn't work, and fewer stars are acceptable. What about the other way around? It's useless at all, just a bunch of stars, what's the difference between that and the "traffic movies" of those years? Or in other words, what's the difference with the Spring Festival Gala of those years before the rebirth? Isn't that also a gathering of stars? As a result? The scolding on the Internet is higher every year.
Look at it, I can't even bear the Spring Festival Gala, an ordinary show, so I can't just be scolded to death?
Therefore, the talent is important, and the talent written is even more important, but both sides cannot be missing, which is a major defect of domestic talk shows at that time.
There is also a serious phenomenon of homogenization.
While language programs are "favored", there is a serious homogenization, especially the emerging talk show genre. For example, "Miao Fu Show" and "Venus Show", from the type of program to the link setting, and even the ID lines of the show and the character of the "assistant" were pointed out by netizens to be very similar. In fact, whether it is TV or the online market, it is no longer possible to simply use "language" to summarize a program type, and the audience is being more finely divided, so the program must also use more individuality and different characteristics to avoid homogenization.
It can be said that the high-quality language programs on the market are all expressions of correct values. At the audience level, young people's ideas are more diverse, so in the production of the program, different operation methods and presentation methods must be formulated according to the different demands of the program. Looking at several language programs with flying ratings and word-of-mouth in the market, they all have distinct personalized and differentiated labels, such as "Reader" focuses on the expression of aesthetics and emotions, "Wonderful Story" highlights the collision of different values, and "Tucao Conference" allows celebrities to unload the burden of idols and express their true thoughts in the depths of their hearts by complaining and self-blackening.
Finally, there is another problem, that is, the control of scale.
Almost all talk shows have to face the problem of scale control, the first episode of "Tucao Conference" was ordered to be removed from the shelves because the scale was too large; the second season of "Wonderful Story" about "Should Good Friends Make an Appointment" and "Should You Leave the Closet with Your Parents" were banned because they touched the line of fire of scale; The short and tight "Xiaosong Strange Talk" was once suspended because it talked about sensitive historical issues. Interestingly, none of the popular programs on the three major video websites were spared.
In fact, this is also an important reason why talk shows are difficult to get ahead in the domestic market, after all, the scale of talk shows in the United Kingdom and the United States is much larger than that in China. For language programs with the largest output of opinion expression, how to produce topics and content that not only comply with policy regulations but also successfully attract audiences is very important, and the control of scale will also be a topic that language programs, especially talk shows, need to be studied for a long time in the future.
In addition, some viewers often push the responsibility for the strict requirements of TV programs to the relevant departments.
In fact, there is no need to do this at all, it is a good thing to be strict and tight. Talk shows are often easy to provoke people's emotions. If you don't feel it, it's because your emotions and the other party are not on the same line, as long as you are on the same line, you can definitely feel it and be provoked. Foreign talk shows are loose, in fact, they don't want to be loose, but they can't be stuck at all. Especially in the United States, because of the national situation, the media has also divided their factions. Today you scold me tomorrow I will scold you, in the case of different factions, the opposing media is to scold, scold as much as they can, the more they are not allowed to say, the more they have to say, so that the scale is not large.
The common people look at the excitement, in fact, it involves the national conditions of the United States, and naturally it cannot be generalized.
In short, there are indeed few domestic talk shows that have developed better.
Why did Yuanfang Media do this?
It's very simple, it's nothing more than to enrich your program library. With such a big company, you can't always do just a few kinds of shows, try all genres to make your resume look better.
As for going further, the big brother of the talk show, the superior boss - reality show!
It's a bit of a big problem.
Regarding the rise of reality shows, I have to say some about the impact of human society.
There is a bit of a pathology in society - we all live with the same mask of falsehood, the same hypocrisy, the same falsehood, like a boring TV series, and everyone is the protagonist of this TV series. Over time, human beings like to snoop and peek at another life of a person, so peeping has become a hobby of human beings, human beings like to peek at other people's private lives, and human beings are also afraid of being peeked at, forming a strange circle. And so "Super Big Brother" was born, putting a group of mutual strangers in a room full of cameras and camcorders, filming 24 hours a day and broadcasting their every move to a whole family audience, which made the history of reality television.
For example, the famous "Survivors" exiled a group of strangers to a desert island to survive, and according to the story of "Robinson Crusoe", one person was eliminated every week until the last person could receive $1 million, and "Soaring" was a competition between two famous American business elites who gathered together and competed against each other - the goal was to win the favor of the famous American real estate tycoon Trump to join his group; ANTM National Supermodel of America" is a reality show hosted by a popular model in the United States, where 13 American girls compete for the title of America's Supermodel of Tomorrow and win a contract with a famous modeling agency every week.
The famous movie - "Truman's World" is a movie with a reality show as the theme, the protagonist Bi Truman, is a genius director Duggis has been filming his life in documentary form, Truman has never known that he is being spied on, he does not know the people around him, his mother, wife, colleagues, friends are just some actors, he does not know that his birthplace Taoyuan Island is just a huge studio, and he has been kept in the dark. Audiences all over the world watched him and tuned in to watch the show, but Truman didn't know about it.
As the director said, Truman has never known that he lives in a virtual world because people are easy to accept reality.
Although there are many types of reality shows, one thing they have in common is that they are close to reality, close to life, and satisfy human voyeurism, and this is reality TV. In addition to the competition and the game, the reality show also attaches importance to the sponsorship of the sponsor, the reality show will appear many times the sponsor's products, they will exist in the reality show competition in a variety of forms, so as to reflect the audience's vision, in the game is not busy selling products.
Domestic reality TV shows did not start late, but in the previous life, it was not until 2012 that they achieved "prosperity" in the true sense and became a social and cultural phenomenon of universal significance. With the accumulation of experience and the guidance of foreign reality show experts, more and more domestic reality shows have begun to rise and have been recognized by foreign audiences. In the context of the sluggish reform of TV news and the lackluster creation of TV dramas, reality shows have become the "mainstay" of the visual consumption habits of Chinese people.
In this life, the reality show, Far Media has detonated in advance.
Of course, the word "true" is up for debate, but it's not all fake, at least sometimes the guests who participate in the show run out of class, run stupid, and occasionally pop up two sentences that are not out of place, these are all true. It's impossible to have no script at all, especially on the side of the fixed guests, if there is no script at all and a fixed number of people win every time, the game can't be done. is like talking about the "running man" in China in the previous life, it can be said that among the regular guests, the only ones who are more excellent are Brother Chao, Big Black Bull and Little Cheetah, and others don't talk about running together, but they are definitely not as good as these three.
So what if it's the three of them teaming up? Is there still a win rate on the other side? What if it's all three guys teaming up every time? Can the guests on the other side continue to participate in the show? Is there still that face?
So acting is definitely going to be acted, acting, and acting is also for the show to be better looking and more dramatic. If you really want to watch it or not, then just watch a documentary, that thing is real, but can that thing be called a variety show? Watching a variety show is all for fun, if you can't even find it soon, this variety show is really finished.
