Chapter Twenty-Nine: Finding the Host
The Chinese New Year is painful and tormenting for Fan Cheng, and Fan Xiaoqian also felt the discomfort of the third uncle, so in the few days of the Fan family, the girl will try to accompany Fan Cheng, chat with him, and listen to him talk about things at work.
Finally survived until the third day of the first lunar month, Fan Cheng couldn't wait to leave Fan's house and return to the TV station, he was about to start work.
The people in the troupe have not yet worked, but Fan Cheng still has a lot of work to do.
One of the most important things is that the host of "All Assembles at 8 O'Clock in the Night" has not yet been decided.
In Fan Cheng's program, the host undoubtedly occupies a very important position, but time is pressing, and the choice of this position has not been decided.
In theory, Fan Cheng is undoubtedly the most suitable as the host, because only he can better control the program as long as it is going to be what the show looks like.
In this program, in addition to the script in the early stage, Fan Cheng also has to serve as the director and cinematographer of the show.
Helpless, Fan Cheng had no choice but to turn to the Northern Group for help.
Either you send me a host, or you send me a photographer.
What if you have both? No, you can have one, and if you have both, you can't afford to hire so many people for the program.
As for Fan Cheng's heart, he prefers that the Northern Group will send a host instead of a photographer, because the host can complete the task as long as he follows his script well, but it is difficult to teach him many concepts of his program shooting in photography work, and a lot of inspiration will only flash during filming.
"Do you have any requirements for the host?" asked Yang Xuemin on the phone.
"First of all, don't broadcast and host professionally. Fan Cheng said.
"Don't ??? the broadcasting and hosting major" Yang Xuemin on the other side of the phone was startled and said: "Are you discriminating against the broadcasting and hosting major?"
"No, I don't discriminate against their professionalism, but that professional should be called an anchor, and what I want to find is a host. ”
"Does it make a difference?"
"The anchor is mainly broadcasting, and the host is mainly hosting......" Fan Cheng explained.
Yang Xuemin doesn't understand what Fan Cheng means, in fact, Fan Cheng can't explain the concept to Yang Xuemin, what Fan Cheng wants is the host in the variety show, this kind of host requires not his broadcasting ability but the ability of variety shows, it is the ability to be funny, as for the host to eat screws and the like, of course it is not good, but even if it is wrong, it is nothing, most variety shows are recorded and broadcast, and they will not require the ability of live hosts.
There is a big difference between a master of being a variety show host and a professional broadcast host, the former is almost not professional, and the latter requires specialist training.
"It's not a professional host of broadcasting and hosting...... Yang Xuemin's tone was hesitant.
"Also, if you want to be able to have fun, you have to ask him about my previous four episodes, if he is willing to do it, if he is willing to do it, if he is willing to do it, he can take my program. Fan Cheng said.
"No......" Yang Xuemin was even more helpless, it was okay if it wasn't a requirement for broadcasting and hosting in front of him, he could always find it if he wanted to find it, but Fan Cheng's four episodes of the program.
"Everything else is fine, but it's too exaggerated to kiss patience...... I'm afraid it's hard for people in the circle to accept it......" Yang Xuemin said.
"Actually, it's not that they really shoot that, but they do need to be mentally prepared for this, in short, you go and say hello, if someone agrees, it's fine, if not, find a photographer, I'll host. Fan Cheng said helplessly.
Yang Xuemin went to the Northern Channel to find someone, and Fan Cheng began to write the relevant notes needed by the variety show photographer.
In fact, according to Fan Cheng's idea, it is not particularly difficult for the most complete variety show photographer, because variety shows will prepare enough cameras, and when exaggerated, there are even more cameras than the artists on the stage, so that all the expressions of the artists can be completely recorded for future editing, but the current situation of the TV station is naturally impossible to achieve this level, the photographer only has two other camera assistants who use simple cameras in addition to him, and Fan Cheng can only start to make general sub-shots according to the script and calculate the camera movement during the official shooting。
On the premise of not even going through the process once, it is almost impossible to do almost all the details of a show and the camera movement, Fan Cheng wrote it very hard, he simply called the people from the TV station to start playing the actors and then followed the process to record the operation of the camera, but he didn't do anything in one day and took the staff to go through the process together.
Then after waiting for the next morning, Yang Xuemin's call finally came.
"Fan Cheng, the person has been found!Host!" Yang Xuemin said.
"Lord...... Host?Did you really find it?" Fan Cheng asked in surprise, he did a whole day of photographer preparation yesterday, because he was basically not looking forward to finding a suitable photographer in one day, but now Yang Xuemin has really completed this almost impossible task!?
"Who did you find?, and how did you do it!?" Fan Cheng asked.
"Mr. Ma Sanli, do you know each other?" asked Yang Xuemin.
"Of course I know!" Fan Cheng said.
Ma Sanli's identity as a cross talk artist is well known in China.
"Ma Lao has an apprentice Yin Xiaosheng, this is Mr. Yin, and I don't know how many generations I have passed down...... Cross talk actor. Yang Xuemin introduced.
"In short, it's just a bad stream, and you may not be able to write the cross talk actors in the cross talk genealogy?" asked Fan Cheng.
"That's right, he seems to be ......" Yang Xuemin began to introduce the person.
This cross talk actor is called Sun Maofeng, although he has been a cross talk actor and has studied with a teacher, but now is the time when Chinese cross talk is at its most declining, and the cross talk artists who can stick to their own path like Guo Degang and finally come out of the sky are a minority after all, and a large number of ordinary cross talk actors have chosen to do other jobs or even change careers.
According to Yang Xuemin's description, Sun Maofeng was originally an actor in the affiliated troupe of Beilin Provincial TV Station, and even appeared in the group talk of the Beilin Spring Festival Gala a few years ago, and Sun Maofeng, who was not popular, is not even very well-known in Beilin Province.
If you can maintain such a working state, it is actually not bad, entering 2000, the explosion of the entertainment industry is about to begin, such a huge market, in the case of more monks and less porridge, Sun Maofeng can at least eat even if he can't be the top.
It's a pity, two months ago, Sun Maofeng's wife was suddenly diagnosed with chronic renal failure and needed hemodialysis from time to time, even after 20 years, hemodialysis is an incomparably huge burden for ordinary families, not to mention that now in 2000, in just two months, Sun Maofeng's family's assets have been consumed most.
In this way, it is impossible for him to pick and choose about the work, not to mention kiss patience player rights, if necessary, let him directly pick up the gun and get on the horse, it is estimated that he can consider it!
Yang Xuemin said: "Fan Cheng, I'm a lot older than you, I want to call you brother, this Sun Maofeng, everyone in Beilin's TV station circle, is a very honest and kind person, it's really a pity to encounter this kind of thing, if we can, we all want to help more." ”
"I know that my father is not in a good state now, but if you have to say something ugly, I will give him a chance, but whether I can win this job depends on his performance, I may sympathize with him and help him when the rules allow, but I can't delay a lot of preparations on my side because of compassion, after all, my side also has to support the staff. Fan Cheng said.
"Of course, then I'll contact him and let him go over to you now?" Yang Xuemin asked.
"Okay, you can let him come, but you don't need to introduce too much, just when I don't know his situation, just say that I can agree to an interview here. Fan Cheng nodded.
"Okay!" Yang Xuemin hung up the phone.
Fan Cheng didn't wait long, and half an hour later, a man pushed open the door of the temporary rehearsal room of the TV station.
"Sun Maofeng?" Fan Cheng stood up and stretched out his hand.
The man in front of him was in his thirties, and his height should be about 165, he looked ordinary, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and his expression looked tired.
"I'm!hello!" Sun Maofeng shook Fan Cheng's hand.
"Have you seen the show I filmed before?" asked Fan Cheng.
"What's the show...... I'm sorry, I've been a little busy lately, so ......" Sun Maofeng said honestly.
"Huh, haven't you seen the show I did? Didn't I tell Yang Xuemin that I had to agree to be able to appear in the same type of show......" Fan Cheng stood up and walked to the landline, as if to call and ask.
"Mr. Fan, that's my problem, although I haven't seen your masterpiece, I can really do anything!" Sun Maofeng said.
"You don't know what I'm shooting, how dare you say yes?"
"Really! I can really shoot! As long as I don't break the law, I can shoot anything!" Sun Maofeng said firmly.
"Hmm...... Okay, I'll give you a chance, but it's okay if you haven't watched my show, so let's show you the first two episodes, and we'll talk about it after watching it. Fan Cheng said.
"Is this necessary?"
"Of course, I don't dare to say anything else in these episodes, at least they can refresh your three views. Fan Cheng said with a wicked smile.
After speaking, he took Sun Maofeng to the screening room and began to show him the program, while he himself returned to the rehearsal room to write new materials.
An hour later, a bewildered Sun Maofeng pushed open the door of the rehearsal room again.
