Now is the great era of entertainment, the entire entertainment industry has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the traditional entertainment media is also experiencing an unprecedented huge impact.

In this era, the Internet is the mainstream, and the traditional TV media has long been lined up. Although there are many programs on TV that are very popular now, few people are willing to stay in front of the TV to watch the shows.

Most people are waiting to watch the replay on the Internet the next day, it is convenient to watch it on the Internet, you can watch it at any time, and you can pause it at any time.

Now the Internet is more popular than TV, so media people have been thinking about a question, since the Internet is so popular, why do they have to broadcast TV programs, why can't they produce it themselves?

To use other people's programs, you have to follow other people's broadcast rules to operate, and you have to cooperate with others, and you have to pay a large amount of authorization fees.

How good it is to make it yourself, spend your own money, and use your own resources to disseminate it, so that the benefits will definitely be better.

Therefore, as early as a few years ago, there were self-produced videos on the Internet, from the earliest selfie autobiography of the photographer, to the later small short dramas, micro movies, and then to some online dramas and online movies planned and invested by the video websites themselves, and then to the current online variety shows.

Two years ago, the movies, TV series and variety shows on the Internet were all very thunderous, and they were all based on novel thunder people, which was too spicy and eye-catching, and there was no way to compare with what was broadcast on the TV station.

In the past two years, the major video websites have really put a lot of effort into coming up with several very good online dramas and online variety shows, and they are really ready to develop in this area.

So this year, Kuguo, one of the top video websites in China, found He Xiangdong and wanted to cooperate with him to produce a new online variety show.

After learning more about them, He Xiangdong readily agreed.

This show is a tailor-made program for He Xiangdong, and it is a storytelling program, allowing He Xiangdong to tell stories on the show.

Although the variety shows on the Internet have stepped out of the category of thunderous and funny at the beginning, it is now the era of reality show variety shows. Kuguo Video is still willing to invest in He Xiangdong to make a traditional quyi type show, which is really rare.

He Xiangdong agreed very happily, and for this show, He Xiangdong basically didn't take any money, he only took a red envelope from the other party's company.

He wanted this show to be a success.

He Xiangdong is not only a cross talk actor, he is also a storytelling actor, he also has a portal in the storytelling door, he is the apprentice of Zhang Kuoru, the golden-mouthed silver-tongued Zhang Kuoru, and the successor of Zhang's storytelling.

And half of his storytelling skills are inherited from the old man Wang Miwei, who is a generation of pit kings. He Xiangdong did not worship the old man Wang as a teacher, but his ability was indeed inherited from others.

There is a bookstore in Beijing, called Tingshuxuan, which He Xiangdong made with the storytellers. It's been several years, and until now, He Xiangdong has been going over every week to tell stories.

He Xiangdong really likes storytelling, he loves this industry too much, and he hopes that this industry can be good too much.

Over the years, He Xiangdong has also made a lot of efforts, he has run his own bookstore, and he has also run storytelling programs on TV.

He Xiangdong once held a storytelling program on Tianjin TV, but unfortunately it was not successful, and the ratings were not hot.

There are many reasons, on the one hand, it is the reason for publicity, the publicity resources given by the TV station are not enough, and the way of publicity is not right.

There is another very important reason, that is, the show is not right. The programs of other TV stations do not allow you to talk at length for dozens of minutes, and He Xiangdong can only spend a maximum of 20 minutes telling stories in each episode, which is too short. And the show is still a week, and the interval is too long.

It is understandable that the show was not successful.

He Xiangdong's storytelling skills are not weak at all, judging from today's music industry, He Xiangdong's storytelling skills can be ranked in the top three, and even among these actors who are still active on the stage, He Xiangdong can rank first.

After all, He Xiangdong is the descendant of the two grandmasters, Zhang Kuoru and Wang Miwei, can he be bad?

He Xiangdong has been telling stories for almost 20 years, even if it is counted from He Xiangdong's popularity in 04, it has been ten years now.

He Xiangdong has said a lot of books, in the bookstore, in the small theater of Xiangwen Society, in commercial performances, and in TV programs.

There are too many to count.

There are also long ones, and there are short ones.

But the book He Xiangdong said also has a very significant feature, that is, the long bibliography, none of which he has filled in the pits, he has dug all the holes and not filled them.

There are a lot of short stories that have filled in the pits, mainly because the bibliography is short, many of them have a paragraph in 30 minutes, and it's good to finish it, and there is no need to dig a hole.

So over the years, He Xiangdong has really cheated a lot of people, and there are too many people staying in his pit.

He Xiangdong's reputation has stinked on the streets.

This time, Kuguo Video also took a fancy to He Xiangdong's big IP of storytelling, and there are so many people staying in the pit, why don't they invite He Xiangdong out to fill the pit, this show can be popular if you play it a little. And the cost of the show is low, and you don't need any props, just give him a table and a chair.

So, they came to He Xiangdong.

And He Xiangdong is also looking for a good platform to promote traditional art, the two sides can be said to hit it off, He Xiangdong didn't even ask for a salary.

The video site has saved a lot of money, and they can use the money for production and promotion.

They also wanted the show to be a success.

In order to do this show, He Xiangdong didn't even participate in the new show that Ning Yue was doing.

The last time he participated in the laughing rivers and lakes, He Xiangdong's fame has increased many times. He Xiangdong knew that Ning Yue's next show would bring him greater fame, but he still refused.

Because he plans to put all his energy into this storytelling show, He Xiangdong is really working hard this time.

The name of this show was finally decided to be called "The Journey of Filling the Pit", which can be regarded as He Xiangdong's journey of atonement, He Xiangdong has really been a pit over the years.

The design of the show is similar to that of a traditional old teahouse, with a table and a chair for the storyteller on stage, on which are folding fans, waking wood and handkerchiefs.

There were dozens of spectators sitting in the audience, drinking tea and eating snacks. Of course, the structure of the teahouse belongs to the structure of the teahouse, and the place where the video is recorded is still in the studio.

Storytellers are generally telling stories in the bookstore teahouse, or on the radio, and there are generally very few on TV, and the time of the TV station is very precious, and people will not give you so much time to tell you about storytelling. The storytelling on the radio is all recorded, and the actors say to themselves in the studio, and there is no audience at the scene, nothing else.

The stage design of "The Journey of Filling the Pit" was requested by He Xiangdong, because storytelling is for the audience, how can you say it without an audience?

There is also idle Baier, without idle Baier, there is no book. Storytelling is not an endorsement, it's not a joke, just say a paragraph, he has to open the book slowly in the chat.

Therefore, there can be no less idle people, and the audience cannot be missing on the scene.

In the past, the old gentleman couldn't record the radio and only tell the story, but now He Xiangdong has the conditions, why doesn't he come to this set.

He Xiangdong also has one last requirement, that is, the time of storytelling, He Xiangdong himself controls, he tries to control it for about an hour, but occasionally there is too much or there is not enough, and the website cannot be cut and changed randomly.

The website agreed to these requests, because it was not an unreasonable request. Although the last request was a bit inconsistent with their production needs, they could only agree to it because He Xiangdong insisted on it.

He Xiangdong has been busy with this matter in Beijing during this time, and in the next 2015, his work will focus on this.

"Mr. He, look at how this stage is built, is there anything that needs to be improved?" the director asked He Xiangdong.

He Xiangdong did it himself, and he even came to watch the stage construction. He Xiangdong nodded: "Okay, it's good, it's good to have these." ”

The director also showed a satisfied smile, he pointed to the side next to the stage and said, "Teacher He, when the time comes, we will invite a traditional band for you, and when there is still half of the opening act, we will give you a drum to play in." ”

He Xiangdong smiled: "Then my storytelling configuration is still top-of-the-line?"

The director also laughed: "That's right, after all, we are the first storytelling network show in China, and we always have to do it better." ”

"Good. He Xiangdong smiled, he glanced at the stage, and said to the director next to him: "The chair is too short, the chair should be replaced, and the storytelling chair should be a little higher, and the upper body of the actor should be exposed." ”

The director promised: "Cheng, I'll let someone change it in a while." ”

He Xiangdong nodded.

The director looked at He Xiangdong and asked, "Hey, Mr. He, what are you going to open this first book? I'm also a fan of your books, I've been lying in more than a dozen pits over the years." ”

He Xiangdong laughed, and after laughing, he thought for a while before saying, "That'...... Let's talk about "The Nine-Head Case" first. ”
