Chapter 147: Infinite (Conspiracy) Challenge I
Thursday, nine a.m., it's time for the Infinite Challenge Collection. It's only the first season of Infinite Challenge, and Infinite Challenge is a general outline, and the name of the first season should actually be called Challengeless.
Let's briefly introduce the history of Infinite Challenge:
Season 1 "Unconspiracy Challenge"
"No Challenge" was originally a unit, which appeared in one of the parts of the Korean variety show "Saturday" (which has now been broadcast), mainly on location, and was produced in the form of submissions from the general audience and then challenged by ordinary people. Broadcast from 23 April 2005 to 22 October 2005, with a total of 27 episodes. During this period, the outside world regarded the unit as "the first season of "Infinite Challenge".
Season 2 "Unreasonable Challenge" and "Infinite Challenge ~Quiz's Talent~"
It was later broadcast on October 29, 2005 under the name "Unreasonable Challenge" in "Strongly Recommended Saturday". Although the title of the show is different, it is the same as the first season of "No Challenge", it was produced in the same format until December 17, 2005, when the show began to use a new name - "Infinite Challenge ~Quiz's Talent~", and a new format - filmed in the factory and broadcast in various game show formats, until April 29, 2006, a total of 26 episodes. "Unreasonable Challenge" and "Infinite Challenge ~Quiz's Talent~" were called "Infinite Challenge Season 2", and the second season was still not a popular show at the time ("20 Episodes" was produced on March 18, 2006 to celebrate the show's 20th episode).
Season 3 "Infinite Challenge"
Since May 6, 2006, it has been independently produced under the current name of the show - "Infinite Challenge", that is, "Infinite Challenge" Season 3". Since then, each episode has been conducted with different themes and formats, and many of them are new and varied, so they have gradually become popular with a group of audiences. On 19 January 2008, the "Guest Appearance in Li Suan Special" and on 16 February 2008 "Haha Guerrilla Concert" led to a 30% nationwide rating.
The above is the Baidu Encyclopedia content of infinite challenges.
And to the infinite challenge of paying attention to the real blessing, Li Shenglin knows more than on the encyclopedia: the drafting director of the first season is MBC veteran PD Kwon Suk. The infinite challenge broke through the previous variety show production style, and all activities were carried out outdoors, which simply created a milestone in the history of Korean variety shows.
The Infinite Challenge, which focuses on Korea's national conditions, not only transcends what was impossible in the past, but also challenges various unpopular sports and social activities, and the high level of social responsibility has attracted the attention of the whole of Korea.
Now controlled by Kwon Seok PD, the entire first season challenges all kinds of things that humans can't do, such as the writer now informing this issue that he has to tug of war with scalpers and pull down the goal buried deep in the ground. Li Shenglin was very skeptical, was this a human thing?
In fact, the first issue is actually quite good, looking at the entire first season, let's see what has been done. The first phase is tug-of-war with scalpers, the second phase is racing with trains, the third phase is faster than pedal boats and yachts, the fourth phase is faster than the water scooping and sewer drainage, and then the fifth phase is swimming with dogs......
It's really not human-made, it doesn't make much sense to do it, and it's not funny at all.
To sum up the first season in one sentence: the way is good, but it misses the point.
Li Shenglin has a more white sentence to describe: Infinite Challenge was blinded by PD Kwon Seok.
The first season aired 27 episodes, because this is a new form of variety show, the assistant director and writer don't have much experience, plus the members are not fixed, Liu Jae-seok can't use the hosting skills to unite everyone, resulting in too dismal ratings. Originally, when MBC decided to cut the show, Kim Tae-ho, the PD who will carry the unbeatable rise in the future, took the initiative to take over.
The second season of Infinite Challenge has shifted from outdoor to indoor, and performing various non-human challenges outdoors has been replaced by guessing riddles in the house, and a show where everyone collides with their wits and bodies is stunned by him......
However, Kim Tae-ho is indeed a very talented director, and of course, obscenity in variety shows is also part of his talent. Throughout the second season, which was still unpopular, he was constantly thinking about how to make the show more hilarious. Finally, Infinite Challenge officially set sail in the third season with 7 men with no lower limit~
……
There are a total of five guests filmed in this issue of the Infinite Challenge, namely MC aunt Yoo Jae-seok, girl idol Lee Seung-lim, little fat man Jung Hyung-dun, mentally ill Lu Hongzhe, and middle-aged uncle Biao Yinghao. Except for Lee Seung-rim and Lee Jae-sang, everyone else is a professional GAGMAN.
As the main MC of the show, Yoo Jae-seok must be explained by the director to consider the direction and future of the entire show, which is different from other members who only focus on the current show.
He and Li Shenglin have been getting along for more than a year, and they have understood each other and have a tacit understanding, knowing that Li Shenglin is here because of his interest, for fear that he will not have the spirit, so he hinted at the weight of this show in MBC before starting.
Li Shenglin didn't mean to be passive and slack off, he knew the weight of Wuxuan Future in MBC, but he didn't know that he was given high hopes at the beginning of the show, and his attitude was more correct when he heard the words.
……
The opening scene of the infinite challenge is Liu Zai-seok and the four masked people, Liu Jae-seok introduced the opening remarks very easily in sportswear: "It's really hard to see in China, it's very difficult, and even if you see it, you don't dare to try that kind of amazing challenge......"
Li Shenglin and the four of them were offended, but the four of them wore wide cloaks and crossed their legs, and their ears were disturbed by Liu Zaishi's noise, and Lu Hongzhe's right foot trembled like a cramp.
At this time, Liu Zaishi got a signal from the writer and encouraged the four people: "Let's hold on a little longer." Come, take three steps to the left, get ready, 1, 2, 3 ......"
The four of them posed, like four big crabs bouncing sideways and moving with Liu Zaishi.
"Okay, the actors who started with the first infinite challenge will be introduced to everyone, so please come out~"
The four of them felt like they were reborn.
"In other shows, as soon as the performers appear on the stage, firecrackers will be fired, and a welcome ceremony will also be prepared. But what is in store for today's performers is not at all. THE INFINITE CHALLENGE (BANNER) THAT THE STAFF IS LOOKING AT IN ADVANCE PREPARED IN ADVANCE BEHIND US, ALTHOUGH WITH A CONSIDERABLE AREA (WIDTH 5M, LENGTH 7M), WRITES THE NAME OF OUR PROGRAM, AND THEN LOOKS AROUND ......"
As soon as the camera turned, the wind whined through, and there was an empty and deserted construction site in all directions.
"The infinite challenge really has to be launched in this pure wilderness, no script, no setting, minimum budget, strengthened will, variety show, in this sense, choose this place as the first venue......"
As in the early days of X-MAN, when the content of the program was not compact enough, it was completely up to Yoo Jae-seok to play alone, and he played for half an hour as soon as he played.
Li Shenglin interrupted him curiously and speechlessly: "Don't we need to talk about this show?"
"Eh, hey, hey, hey, there's nothing to explain now, just say anything. Liu Zaishi was embarrassed to let Li Shenglin speak.
Li Shenglin actually didn't have anything to say, but Liu Zaishi was left to say it alone, what else did he want him to do? He had to say two words to brush up his sense of existence.
