Chapter 220: The Significance of the Existence of Top Hosts to Variety Shows
To say that since Mango TV broadcast "Super Girl" and "Super Man" in the early years, variety shows have been in the limelight, especially large-scale talent shows of the music genre have sprung up on various TV stations, not only firmly occupying the prime time of each David TV, but even the network variety is full of various "voices" and "singers".
And with the popularity of Blueberry Channel's first music genre "The Voice of China", there is a strong preference for variety shows of this type of music genre, and since then, "The Voice of Dreams" has come into being in such an environment.
However, behind the accumulation of variety shows is the fact that professional hosts are gradually declining.
Guests and mentors have their own eye-catching halos, and gags are not a problem; celebrity crossovers also occur from time to time, and the hosts of Xue Zhiqian, Da Zhang Wei, Yu Quan and others have left a deep impression on people. In contrast, it is the part where traditional hosting is lacking - a little "positive", not so "fine".
The "positive" that Zhang Junyi refers to here is the opposite of the "variety sense" emphasized by modern variety shows.
Not being so "refined" is not only unable to effectively interact with the audience's professional field, but also due to the lack of one's own knowledge reserves, resulting in the inability to clarify the professional dialogue between the guests for the audience.
Because of this, the variety show host has suffered an unprecedented decline for a while, and even those "celebrities" have come forward to explain the dilemma faced by the industry.
Such a statement was not made casually by Zhang Junyi with a slap of his head, but the result of experiencing the broadcast of variety shows in the past few years.
In such an era, Blueberry Satellite TV's large-scale music program "The Voice of Dreams" chose to entrust the host with a heavy responsibility.
And the back of the host Hua Shao on the stage, Zhang Junyi knows that the antidote to the dilemma faced by the hosting industry is in it.
The host who is qualified in internal strength is always the anchor of the control field.
For a long time, an excellent host has been regarded as the ratings guarantee of a program, and the guests come and go, and the scenery is infinite, but it is the host who firmly grasps the rhythm of the stage and grasps the direction of the program.
From another point of view, Zhang Junyi even thinks that the host may be the real master of the stage, but this master does not steal the limelight, but only acts as a bridge between the stage and the audience to ensure the normal progress of the show.
Zhang Junyi, who has experienced many years of watching the variety show hosted by this host in his previous life, knows that Hua Shao is such a host.
On the stage, Yuquan Aicai sincerely chose to give up PK to help the amateur group "Rhythm Tribe" advance, but the sudden news and the sadness of the amateur crying suddenly cooled the atmosphere of the scene.
At this time, Hua Shao suddenly asked Yuquan, did you just say that you can use "Rap Face" to talk about everyone on the stage, under Hua Shao's interspersed lead, the Yuquan combination as a powerful singer is naturally easy to crack.
However, behind this, Zhang Junyi is very clear in his heart, but the effect that the show receives is Hua Shao's clever reaction as the host, as well as the control of the scene, a simple "problem", allowing the audience to see Yuquan's wonderful performance At the same time, the atmosphere of the stage is inspirational and moving, but not too sad.
Ah Mei was very nervous in the face of "All Things" when choosing songs, and Hua Shao joked: "The next time you are selected, maybe the four songs to be selected are all "All Things"!"
asked Hebe to comment on the rain god's singing, and immediately after commenting, he said: "Okay, we won't be difficult for others with such a difficult question!"
Hebe, who has always been introverted, jumped up angrily: "So let me be the bad guy alone!" instantly shortened the distance between Hebe and the audience.
Zhang Junyi has also seen similar details many times, the host Hua Shao used a witty sentence, or to enliven the atmosphere, or to promote the process of the show, he faithfully and perfectly completed his job, under the premise of the smooth progress of the show, to give mentors and contestants more room to perform. In the audience's memory of "Lin is three years old and Xiao is five years old" and "Tian Yiyi".... The first second is often the burden handed out by Hua Shao.
Hua Shao has "tailored" different words for each mentor and each amateur to help everyone on the stage adapt to the rhythm of variety shows.
This is the top host that Zhang Junyi cares about, behind which is a solid basic hosting skills, including good comprehension and language organization skills, as well as a strong field control ability that a professional host has.
A host with qualified internal skills will always be the Dinghai Shenshen Needle who controls the audience.
Golden sentences continue to become the highlight of the show, and excellent hosts are no less than stars.
In a variety show, there has been a consensus in the industry that celebrities attract attention, and the first thing most programs do is to expose the relevant materials of celebrities to gain media attention.
And the reason why the communication content of "The Voice of Dreams" was so popular after the broadcast was that the real original Zhang Junyi knew in his heart that it was not all due to those celebrity guests, except for the news of several star mentors, the role played by Hua Shao was absolutely leveraged.
The reason why "The Voice of Dreams" can stand out among many music variety shows is, on the one hand, because of the show's respect for the host, and on the other hand, it also reflects that Hua Shao is no less important to the show than a star.
At the beginning of each show, the mentor chanted "Brother Hua" with the audience, and his expectations for Hua Shao were beyond words.
On Weibo and other social media, Hua Shao's golden sentences in the program are also widely circulated, becoming the talk of many netizens, and even some netizens begged Hua Shao to "say more", his hosting, interaction and witty words have undoubtedly become an indispensable scenery in "The Voice of Dreams", which shows something, undoubtedly shows that the top host has increased the role of adding color to the show in addition to grasping the rhythm.
Zhang Junyi clearly remembers that in an episode of "The Voice of Dreams", after the contestant Zhao Jun challenged the mentor Lin JJ, the passion brought by the wonderful fighting song of the two infected everyone on the scene, in the comment session, the mentors all commented on the performance just now, and then the live music booster announced that Zhao Jun's challenge was successful, and Hua Shao made a short summary of the wonderful performance of the contestant Zhao Jun after letting the audience applaud Lin JJ.
Hua Shao said: "Sometimes it is the charm of the pearl, when these talented singers, he has not had the opportunity to show on the stage before, he sings with his life in every performance, and may be much more fiery than those of us who have the opportunity to appear on the stage often."
This remark shows the delicate and warm side of Hua Shao's emotions, in addition to letting the audience feel the charm of music, but also allowing the audience to more intuitively feel and understand the most essential charm of the stage of "The Voice of Dreams"!
Of course, this is just a small example of Hua Shao's wonderful finishing touch, in addition to Zhang Junyi, Zhang Junyi also remembers that Hua Shao's comments on "Chrysanthemum Terrace" and "Daughter Country" that are widely circulated on the Internet are also talked about.
Behind this, in addition to the host's on-the-spot reaction, it is Hua Shao's accumulation of professional knowledge - from a series of top Chinese music programs such as "I Love to Remember Lyrics" and "The Voice of China", the precipitation of the heaviness blossomed at this moment.
Hua Shao is not only a professional host, but also a host who deeply understands music variety shows, and is such a host really not needed by variety shows?
What do these examples show, in fact, it just happens to show that the professional excellence + knowledge accumulation + variety show sense = a walking camera or a breakthrough in the variety show host, on the stage of "The Voice of Dreams", Zhang Junyi thinks that Hua Shao is like an indispensable "walking camera".
By hosting variety shows for a long time and often participating in the show, as the host, Hua Shao is one of the few people who understands the logic behind the entire variety show, and has the "variety show sense" required by the show, and being able to meet these conditions is the breakthrough point for the future of variety show hosting.
Zhang Junyi knew that Hua Shao participated in variety shows as a guest, and also participated in the production, desperately looking for the host's position in the variety show.
After that, Hua Shao stood on the stage of "The Voice of Dreams", with a deeper understanding, a more professional perspective and a professional host as always.
In the last episode of this variety show, Hua Shao stood on the stage of the peak song party of "The Voice of Dreams", with a smile on his face, Zhang Junyi didn't know if this was because after having more insights into variety shows, Hua Shao had enough confidence in the future of variety show hosts, maybe it was not that variety shows gradually compressed the host's living space, but that the market was eliminating unprofessional hosting practitioners.
