Chapter 114: Alternative Courses
"Variety show...... Enhancement of scripts and content...... How much of a difference can it make?"
This topic...... It's too big for Nima, isn't it......
Everyone in the Yoshimoto Theater Troupe sitting in front of Fan Cheng was at a loss, and they didn't know how to respond to the "issue" raised by Fan Cheng.
To put it bluntly, they are all artists who have just been in contact with comedy for about a year, and in Japan, most talented comedy artists usually take at least ten years to reach the top five private TV stations, and it may take more time to face the opportunities of top comedy artists such as BIG3.
For these ordinary artists, it is often difficult for them to get access to the most advanced areas of comedy production and "research".
What is difficult for a decade of funny artists to do, how can these one-year funny artists really keep up with Fan Cheng's rhythm?
Fortunately, Fan Cheng was not ready to let these people follow him, he took out a box and said: "In order to study this topic, I developed a small toy, and the next content of the show is for you to play with this toy." โ
"Toys?" everyone curiously took the box handed over by Fan Cheng.
The small box was about fifty centimeters square, and when the lid was opened, everyone saw that it contained a plastic toy that they had never seen before.
The main body of the toy is a standing oval wine barrel, and on the top of the barrel is a human head, as if the person was being contained in a wine barrel.
And the person who was put in the barrel was a middle-aged uncle, he wore a red turban, one eye was covered by a black blindfold, and there was a circle of beard around his mouth, which is a classic in Western film and television...... Pirate?
Fan Cheng took out the toy and said: "I named this toy Blackbeard's Qianjun, as for the game method, it's very simple, there are a lot of plastic swords here, and there are a lot of jacks on this bucket, every time you play, there will only be one jack that really stabs Blackbeard, and the person who stabs it is the loser of the game!"
Everyone looked at each other, this toy sounded simple.
"That's it?" the crowd asked.
"That's right, that's all. Fan Cheng nodded.
Everyone didn't understand Fan Cheng's thoughts, but since the third uncle said so, let's be obedient and do it first, with such an idea, everyone started to play the game.
The first plastic dagger was poked in, but it didn't respond.
The second, no response...... All the way to the seventh man.
The seventh person is a man named Wang Nomi, now the Yoshimoto Troupe has passed, and there are more than 40 people in the expansion, but there are not many members of the troupe who are good-looking, although the name is called a troupe, but in fact it is a training system for funny artists, handsome guys and beauties are creatures, there are very few people who are willing to pull down their faces and ignore their images, and those who are not so good-looking are different, they are not good-looking but want to do TV, most of them have been psychologically prepared, this Wang Nomi is like this, his chin is relatively long, his eyes are fierce, his facial features are crowded together, and the balance is ridiculously poor, and it looks like a bad gangster from somewhereใ
But after getting along, everyone in the troupe already knows that this Wang Nomi just looks scary, and he is actually a very gentle man.
Wang Nomi carefully inserted the plastic short sword into it.
Then, with a click, Blackbeard in the bucket jumped out!
"Ahahahaha!" everyone laughed, and everyone who hadn't appeared before they immediately relaxed.
But...... After laughing, everyone turned their eyes to Fan Cheng.
"Third uncle, this ...... Does it really work?"
The process of playing the game just now is actually quite boring, a group of people around the toy, you poke it and I poke it, and everyone is not very happy after winning in the end, and the reaction is not as big as usual, and the game process is not even a few minutes long, will this content show really be interesting?
"Anyway, let's try it first. Fan Cheng said.
Next, everyone disbanded, and the camera followed Fan Cheng into the editing room to start editing.
In the editing room, Fan Cheng said to the camera: "Everyone has seen the shooting content just now, and the next thing I want to do is to try my best to edit these few minutes of links interesting and have enough length." โ
Then Fan Cheng began to edit the video with the editor.
Fan Cheng in his previous life, as a funny artist in the Internet era, has a very close connection with the Internet, and occasionally produces funny videos or the like, so he is also competent in editing work, especially when he comes to this world, after doing video editing for the past few months, this kind of work is more proficient.
By the time the screen switched back, Fan Cheng had already gathered everyone from Yoshimoto's troupe again.
Fan Cheng greeted: "The video is edited, let's take a look first." โ
A group of people sat down and watched the video.
The process of playing the game is the same as their previous process, but through video editing, after watching it, it will indeed give people the impression that it looks better after editing, and Fan Cheng and the editor even added some strange and useless special effects shots.
Through this kind of editing, the close-ups of the participants of the program are mainly added, and then the suspense is highlighted through the adjustment before and after, and some shots are played repeatedly, and even through this kind of editing, everyone's state of mind in the face of the show is expressed......
However, having said so much, in fact, to put it bluntly, this is a small game of a group of people playing party toys together, and the editing adds a lot of color to this game, but no matter how it adds color, it is just a very ordinary video.
"How is it? How does it feel?" asked Fan Cheng.
"Hmm...... Ordinary. Everyone looked at each other and finally told the truth.
"It's really ordinary, it's just fun, no matter how good the editing and production are, it's useless. Fan Cheng said.
"So, let's try to add something more to the game. Fan Cheng said.
Add more things?
"First of all, it's hard to bring up everyone's mood right away, so ...... Let's drink it first. Fan Cheng said hello, and the staff brought a lot of wine and snacks up.
Although some can't keep up with Fan Cheng's rhythm, but this show is like this, and everyone feels that it's normal to not be able to keep up with Fan Cheng's rhythm, so since the third uncle wants to drink, then drink well.
A group of people began to eat and drink.
The staff sent it, first beer and skewers, and then roast beef and chicken, etc., a large group of people gathered together to eat is easy to lively, especially this group of people are also for the purpose of funny, soon everyone chatted, the atmosphere of hip-hop made the whole studio relaxed, especially after a few glasses of beer, everyone was completely relaxed.
After a big meal, Wang Xingxing was even relaxed to the point that he was a little sleepy sitting there, and Fan Cheng finally gathered people together again.
"It's not fun just to play the game, so winning or losing has to be more valuable, so I'm announcing that the loser will put on a show. โ
This is also a very ironclad punishment.
"Then, bring the things up!" Fan Cheng beckoned.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, the staff pushed up an object with a small flatbed truck, which was about 1.7 meters high, and the prototype above and below was a bucket.
Well...... Wait, this pattern...... Don't......
Fan Cheng lifted the cloth covering it, and was not surprised to see the huge Blackbeard inside in danger.
One is about one meter seven, and a huge crisis has occurred!
Next to this huge toy, those plastic toy swords have also been replaced with toy swords about one meter, similar to real weapons.
"Oh oh!" there was a commotion of surprise from the crowd.
But soon, they reacted, no, how can there be such a big toy!
"Third uncle, your crisis is too big, right?"
"yes! such a big crisis...... What's the use?"
"It's just magnified dozens of times!" everyone complained.
"Third uncle, you are too exaggerated, you are just playing with a toy, and you are inviting us to dinner, and you are specially making such a big money, and you are spending all your investment on it???," Wang Xingxing asked loudly with the strength of wine.
"What? Aren't you upset? This is my money, and this show is all invested by myself!"
"Rich people are amazing!!" Wang grumbled happily.
Although it was only a large toy that was magnified dozens of times, after adding the punishment, everyone's interest was also raised, and the game began, each carrying a large plastic sword and inserting it into the huge toy in turn.
This time, the atmosphere of the game is much better, and the huge toys seem to increase people's interest a lot, as if the suspense of the game has also increased a lot.
But coincidentally, although the order is completely different, in the end, it was Wang Nomi who became the loser of the game.
Unlike last time, this time when the pirate Blackbeard popped out of the barrel, everyone screamed and cheered excitedly, and it was clear that the game was much better than before.
"That'...... I'm going to sing a song, Cui Jian's "Nothing". Wang Nomi, who lost the game, stood up and said.
"I used to ask endlessly...... Wang Nomi sang, when his voice sounded, Fan Cheng raised his head in some surprise, this Wang Nomi sang well, although he couldn't catch up with those top singers, but he was no less than those singers who had just debuted.
After seeing Fan Cheng's expression, Wang Xingxing said, "Third Uncle is surprised, right? There are several people in our group who sing well, such as Xiao Wu and Da Liu." โ
Listening to Wang Xingxing's words, several people in the troupe smiled, but Fan Cheng could see that their expressions were more helpless when they were smiling, and it was estimated that they had all tasted the road of singing, but unfortunately it was not possible to sing, luck, appearance, creative ability, etc., only with these, it was possible to get out of the hall in singing, and these people in the troupe seemed to be unable to do this, so they "fell" to the Yoshimoto troupe to do funny.
