Chapter 25: Classes (II)

"There is also a bottom line is the bottom line of variety shows, there will be many projects in variety shows, and the content of these projects may be strange, and these projects have a bottom line without exception. ”

"What is the bottom line for getting up early? It can't expose the privacy that the artist cares about, it can show that the artist is grinding his teeth and drooling when he sleeps, but he must not reveal who is in his mobile phone address book and which girlfriend he has.

The bottom line of Kiss's patience with contestants is simpler, and artists must never really kiss unless there is a good reason.

What is the bottom line of the whole person plan? To ensure safety, not to cause trouble to ordinary people, and try not to cause others to imitate it, the bottom line in the production of programs like this is also to be observed. ”

"Boss, I know everything else, how can I do it as little as possible not to cause imitation?" Wang Xingxing raised his hand.

"There are many specific ways, such as playing subtitles that do not imitate at critical times, and another point is to try to highlight that this is a program during the program. ”

"Stand out...... Program?"

"Yes, it's just to let the audience know that this is a show, for example, we can make obvious subtitles in the corners of the screen, and we can also add background laughter and viewing reactions, these settings are not only to make the show more beautiful, but also an important way to keep the audience from imitating. Fan Cheng said.

"Finally......" Fan Cheng clicked the whiteboard with his hand and said: "Eighth, the worse the personal role, the better the person must be in reality." ”

"Remember the third point? You should all understand the importance of implementing personal roles, when I said that there is nothing wrong with bad roles, at that time I saw that some people were a little unconvinced, maybe in your opinion, this kind of bad role should not exist, now, repeat this eighth point with me. ”

"The worse the personal role, the better the person must be in reality!"

"That's the key! You can even say that the worse you are on TV, the better you are in reality!"

Everyone nodded, although they couldn't put all their thoughts into words because the content was too new, but they were undoubtedly beginning to understand what Fan Cheng meant.

"You are artists, no matter how powerful you are, you are all artists, you don't have a TV station, let alone control of TV programs, whether you can be on the show or not depends on you but on the production staff and owners of TV stations, and it depends on whether the audience likes you.

No matter how bad your TV performance is, at least the TV station staff who watched your performance know your off-TV personal image, and they happen to be the ones who decide whether you can be on the show. ”

"What about the audience? Is it okay for the audience to like or dislike?" someone asked.

"You have all been to the Internet café in the past few days? What is Wang Xingxing's personal image these days? Two weeks ago, what about Wang Xingxing, who just finished broadcasting kiss patience and getting up early?"

The people understood what he meant.

The perception of ordinary viewers is the easiest to reverse, and they can only understand the artists through the TV screen, and they are used to believing what is on the screen, and the image established with two episodes of the program can also be completely reversed with two episodes.

Finally, Fan Cheng patted the whiteboard and said: "Remember these eight, this is the most basic tutorial for surviving in the entertainment industry, as long as you master these eight, you will be enough to survive in the entertainment industry." ”

"That...... Fan Cheng, if these are only the most advanced, then what are the more advanced ones?" Wan Hong raised his hand and asked.

"The advanced ones you don't need for the time being. Fan Cheng said.

Wan Hong looked at the people around and asked, "Even if we can't use it, we want to hear it." ”

"Okay, so I'll give you a brief introduction. ”

"The first eight are the so-called primary variety show rules, and mastering these eight points means that you have basically mastered the rules of survival in the entertainment industry. ”

"The so-called primary variety show ability actually represents the ability to express jokes, give you a certain performance space, give you scripts, and you can perform these.

Then there is the intermediate variety show ability, artists at this level have the ability to create jokes, use language and expressiveness to create jokes, in variety show performances, artists at this level can play their abilities more freely, and even if there are no jokes, they can create interesting performances through their own abilities, and most famous artists are at this level. ”

"Finally, it is the ability of advanced variety shows, what artists of this level can do is arrange, discover and control the ability of jokes, this is an ability that only the top artists master, artists of this level can control the recording of the entire show very well, when they are ordinary participants, they will let others perform better through their own performance and support, and if he is the host, he can control the rhythm and make the program more excellent. ”

"Use language and expressiveness to create jokes...... I'm afraid I won't be able to reach ...... ability in my life," Wang Xingxing said helplessly.

"What I'm talking about is just the difference in the artist's ability rather than the artist's level, if you have enough opportunities and support, even if you still do a good job in the primary variety show ability, it is enough to become a top artist. Fan Cheng said.

He finally said: "That's all for today's class, tomorrow I will continue to tell you about all kinds of things you need to care about about variety shows, let's learn the most basic things as soon as possible, and I can make a short drama for you." ”

"Skits?"

"It's unrealistic to directly ask you to do variety shows or even create your own shows, so I have prepared three series of short plays for you, and only after you can perform these three series of short plays well, and even have your own creations on top of them, can you go out of your own way. ”

In addition to giving lessons to the people of the New Yoshimoto Theater Company, Fan Cheng's main job is to integrate the entertainment channel and prepare for the channel revision.

The original Fanjia channel has things, except for a set of old broadcasting equipment, there is only a simple film library, in this library, most of the hundreds of movies and television series owned by all TV stations in China, these are all at the beginning of the establishment of the channel, Huaxia Central TV sold to them, all newly established TV stations will buy these things.

For aspiring TV stations, these publicly-copyrighted movies and TV series are more like the entry fee and protection fee handed over to CCTV, but for the original Fan TV station, this is almost the only film library they have, and the Fan family usually relies on this film library, and when there is nothing to put on, they often go in and take out a volume to play.

These films include productions made before the 70s in Europe, America, Russia and other countries, such as the Chaplin series, "Walter Defends Sarajevo", etc., as well as the old Chinese films before the 80s, and more than half of the hundreds of films are in black and white......

Fan Cheng naturally didn't want the TV station to continue to play these things, but it was extremely difficult to achieve this goal, because he was currently in control of the TV station instead of a program.

Controlling the TV station is completely different from controlling the program, but in just two days, Fan Cheng felt that his head was bigger.

Fan Cheng participated in the production of variety shows in his previous life, and most of the variety shows were broadcast once a week, ranging from 24 minutes to more than 40 minutes each time, but what about the TV station? Even the smallest TV station that Fan Cheng now has in his hands broadcasts at least seven or eight hours a day.

With such a long airtime, excluding the 12 to 15 minutes of advertising time per hour, the TV station should produce at least five to six hours of TV per day to ensure that the production time is filled.

Even if you give the TV station another half of the replay time, there will still be three hours left.

Compared with one hour a week and three hours a day, Fan Cheng can't be busy alone.

At a meeting with the internal staff of the TV station, Fan Cheng arranged: "In this way, it is impossible for us to fill three hours a day, and now what I can do is to provide about an hour a week and a variety show with good average quality. ”

"Strip journalism?" Cheng Gaoge repeated.

"That's right, but what I want you to do is not ordinary, the news that Huaxia TV and local TV stations will broadcast, I want you to pay attention to two points, one is ordinary people, and the other is popular. ”

"Ordinary people and pop? Does it mean that we should pay more attention to the news and popular entertainment of ordinary people?"

"The name of our channel is Entertainment Variety, Entertainment and Variety Show, so even if it is a ribbon news program, you should also tend to be here, you can try to rely on the Internet a lot, find news from ordinary people, food and entertainment activities that ordinary people like, etc., as for entertainment and popularity, you can try to make some relevant comments at first, and then send a shooting team to interview after you have the conditions. ”

"Yes, I see, the host of the show ......"

"Use whoever you can first. Fan Cheng scratched his head with some trouble.

This is only the most direct aspect of program production, although the TV station is too simple, what he can do now is to first launch eye-catching programs to gain attention, and with attention will there be advertising and income, and after these, it is possible to further upgrade the TV station.

For the world's television stations, upgrading to a higher-level TV station is everything, and the budget investment income of municipal TV stations and junior TV stations is not the same level, and the requirements for upgrading, stable finances are the first part that must be met.

But when it comes to finances, having a good program is key, and getting better partners is just as important.

Before the cooperation with the North Group, I only talked about a preliminary cooperation intention, you must know that the North Group itself has a TV station, if it weren't for Fan Cheng's insistence, the North Group's original intention was actually to absorb Fan Cheng into their TV station, so now with Fan Cheng's cooperation, the group's interest in him is far greater than the interest in the entertainment channel.
