In the early days of the establishment and operation of the TV station, it was an unparalleled gold-swallowing monster.

In addition to the 300,000 yuan for the family, the 100,000 yuan shared by Wang Xingxing and others, and the 100,000 yuan left for maneuvering, the remaining 500,000 yuan was used by Fan Cheng to buy photographic equipment.

500,000 yuan can be put on ordinary people for him to live for a long time, but in his place, in a little more than a day, he spent all the 500,000.

A 100,000 main camera, two more ordinary cameras 50,000, two action cameras, small cameras, a large and small number of lenses, balloon lights, spotlights, soft lights, floodlights, tripods, gimbal tracks, monitors, microphones, audio adapters, hard disks, SD card readers, batteries, various equipment kits, consumables, computers, supporting software......

500,000 yuan is not even floating, let alone quality, and even the basic purchase is complete.

As for a complete set of equipment, do you want to get it all together? Fill in another two million, if nothing else, the 100,000 broken main camera is probably the worst in the country.

In the production of variety shows, laymen may think that the budget for running around on location is very high, but in fact, the real horror is the variety show recorded in the studio, the location show does not need to arrange a studio, and the most important money spent is a director and a script, two photographers plus a radiographer and an assistant, and the cost of travel and accommodation for six or seven people.

Travel expenses plus room and board, some are long and some are short, and the average person in one episode of the program is about 5,000 to 10,000 at most.

And what about in-studio photography? The number of cameras in the studio is by no means comparable to that of a location program, three main cameras plus a large and small camera dedicated to shooting a certain person is a must, and the photographer's labor has never been cheap.

In addition, the set of a show needs to be produced by the props team, and the planner can say that if he has an idea, he or she needs the art staff to do it, and the man-hours can also be converted into investment.

There are also those sets, lighting and sound equipment that are far more important than the exterior scenes...... These are all for money.

What's more, a TV station can't have only one program, and it can't have only one set of equipment, right?

Add to that the much more expensive studio itself......

Not to mention 1.8 million, give Fan Cheng 10 million, and he can spend it all in a week!

This is still not considering the studio, if you invest more than a billion yuan to build a studio that can be ranked first in Asia, it is almost the direction of a lifetime of struggle.

As for the City of Photography...... Without state capital investment, it is almost impossible to establish a single company.

Although the money is spent, but the equipment will not be immediately obtained, such as the camera that Fan Cheng wants, there is no Sony Konka Toshiba in this world, only a few manufacturers in Europe and the United States at this stage of producing these digital equipment, civilian cameras can still be bought in China, professional cameras must be booked with the manufacturer, the camera takes at least a month to go through the customs, as for the recent past, it can only be done with ordinary cameras.

It took three full days to gather all kinds of things on the TV station, and Fan Cheng set his eyes on the people in the troupe.

"Mr. Fan, you have given the TV station a new name, do you have any ideas for the name of the new troupe?" Zhu Zhize asked.

"Yoshimoto." Fan Cheng said.

"Gibbon?"

"That's right, the new troupe is called Yoshimoto, and in the future, a group of founders will be established, and the new company that controls the Yoshimoto troupe will also be called Yoshimoto." Fan Cheng said.

There are now twelve people in the Yoshimoto Troupe, and there are ten people in addition to Wang Xingxing and Wan Hong, Zhu Zhize is a middle-aged man who can still be called handsome, and there are a few people besides him.

There are three men, twenty-nine-year-old Xiao Yang Bujian and Kong Jima of the same age, and Jian Letong with a round face.

There are still six women, but although Wan Hong introduced them one by one, Fan Cheng only remembered the first girl named Gu Xiang.

These twelve people are the original team of the Yoshimoto Theater Company.

Summoning them to a room that served as a makeshift studio, Fan Cheng began his first class on variety shows.

The first lesson for thirteen people began on the edge of a bathtub.

Fan Cheng first asked: "This bathtub is filled with boiling hot water, and now the variety show requires you to jump into the bathtub, how are you going to perform?" ”

Twelve people looked at each other.

"Yang Bujian, Kong Jima, you try." Fan Cheng said.

"Good...... All right. Seeing that they couldn't hide, the two came to the bathtub head-on.

Yang Bujian tentatively touched the water in the bathtub, it seemed that he found that the water was not very hot, and he also shook it for a while, at this time Kong Jima also reacted, he was much more direct than Yang Bujian, looked at the people around him, he made an expression of "I don't go to hell, who goes to hell", he didn't even take off his clothes, and jumped directly into the bathtub!

"Oops!" Everyone hurriedly laughed and dodged, especially Yang Bujian, who was almost drenched.

Five minutes later, the duo returned after a clean outfit.

"How's I doing?" Kong Jima asked.

"It's fun!" Everyone said.

"Is it fun if one person jumps and the other gets drenched? Didn't you watch the performance before the whole person? Fan Cheng said at this time.

Everyone looked at Fan Cheng, and Yang Kong and the others were even more unconvinced, they felt that this performance was already good, because their clothes were even wet.

"Wang Xingxing, come here, let's show what should be the performance in a variety show." Fan Cheng said.

Pulling Wang Xingxing to the side and talking for ten minutes, and even dancing and pointing several times, the two returned to the bathtub.

The other eleven people gathered around, but probably because they were splashed with a lot of water for the first time, this time everyone was a certain distance from the bathtub.

"Take it off!" Fan Cheng directly instructed Wang to be happy.

Although he was shy and didn't have the habit of undressing in front of others, Wang Xingxing was obviously mentally prepared, and he took off himself directly until he was only left with boxers.

"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed, and the little fat man was wearing boxers with Donald Duck logo, and there was even a hole in his buttocks.

Holding his body to the edge of the bathtub, Wang Xingxing carefully tried the water temperature first.

"Shhhh As if he had been burned, he turned back to Fan Cheng and said, "No, this temperature is not good!" ”

"What can't you do!? Hurry up! Everyone is waiting! Fan Cheng's face was full of impatience.

Wang happily glanced at the people around him pitifully and climbed into the bathtub.

Instead of standing on the edge of the bathtub and trying like water, he climbed directly above the bathtub.

"Don't push me!" Wang Xingxing turned around and shouted to Fan Cheng.

"Don't worry, I won't push you!" Fan Cheng said.

"Don't push me!" Wang Xingxing turned around and shouted again.

"I won't push! Go down! Fan Cheng also agreed.

Finally, Wang Xingxing came to the middle of the bathtub.

"Absolutely don't push me!" He shouted back.

At the moment when he said this, Fan Cheng pounced and pushed him firmly into the bathtub!

The little fat man fell into the bathtub entirely, and a huge splash of water splashed out.

This time, the laughter of the surrounding people was far greater than the previous performances of the two, which was all the effect of the foreshadowing, but this is not over.

Wang Xingxing in the bathtub seemed to be choked hot enough, and desperately wanted to get out of the bathtub, but it seemed that because the bathtub was too slippery, Wang Xingxing tried many times in it, but every time he fell down again because of his slippery hand, until there was almost no water left in the bathtub, and he finally climbed out of the bathtub.

Wang Xingxing, who climbed out, completely ignored the people around him, and ran directly to the pool to open the water pipe, so that the tap water poured down his head, as if he had been burned in pain just now.

At this point, his whole set of performances is over.

"Do you see?" Fan Cheng asked.

"Like...... It's really better than our performance. Yang Kong and the others said.

Looking at the twelve people in front of him, Fan Cheng asked, "In your thoughts, what should be the code of variety shows?" ”

"The rules of variety shows?" The twelve looked at each other.

"Wang is happy, you answer." Fan Cheng pointed to the little fat man.

"Uh...... Obedient? The little fat man asked tentatively.

"Okay," Fan Cheng found that he couldn't expect these people to understand his theory of Japanese variety shows, Japanese variety shows were completely different from variety shows of other civilizations, and there was no similar theory in this world, so let these people speculate on how to do variety shows based on the rarity, and they couldn't guess it for a year.

Fan Cheng pulled over a whiteboard and flipped it over, and everyone saw that a total of eight pieces of content had been written on it.

This is obviously Fan Cheng's so-called variety show.

I saw that it was written......

Topic: A Primer for Variety Shows

First: Variety shows should be interesting as the first priority.

Second: the creator is the soul of the show.

Third: Implementing personal roles is the basic professional quality of artists.

Fourth: "Don't push me", "Absolutely don't push me", "Absolutely never push me" are three progressive performances, and no push is allowed until the end.

Fifth: In the vast majority of cases, it is not allowed to puncture lies such as hot water and spicy food.

Sixth: The essence of variety shows is to satisfy voyeurism, a sense of achievement, the desire to see people make a fool of themselves, self-substitution, deconstruction of reality, extreme exaggeration and distinction from reality.

Seventh: The bottom line must not be breached.

Eighth: The worse the personal role, the better the person must be in reality.

"This ...... What is it? "People who have never been exposed to similar content at all see a variety show code that is completely different from their concept, eight pieces of content, and they are confused.

"It's normal not to understand, I'll tell you slowly, as long as you do these things well and learn what I'll teach you next, even if you don't need accurate complaints and genius jokes, you are enough to go on in the TV circle."
