Fan Cheng's narration is in progress.

"First of all, variety shows should be interesting as the first priority, that is to say, as long as you do variety shows, the first purpose is to be interesting, you can do knowledge quizzes, you can do marriage and love, you can do the whole person and escape room, but the premise of all this must be interesting, boring, and programs that first pursue other purposes are not called variety shows. ”

The twelve members of the New Yoshimoto Troupe looked at each other, and what Fan Cheng said was too new for them to accept.

Wan Hong raised her hand.

Say. Fan Cheng pointed at her.

"In that case, those trivia shows on TV aren't variety shows?" Wan Hong asked, she usually likes these shows a lot.

"I can't say that, because you guys like this kind of show, don't you? You like it, and you watch it with relish, then this show can be called interesting, and fun doesn't have to make everyone laugh, but a smile and a genuine participation in it is also a kind of fun. ”

After a pause, Fan Cheng continued: "But to be honest, are ordinary puzzle shows really that good-looking?"

"Good ......" Wang Xingxing just wanted to say that it was good-looking but paused, he suddenly thought of Fan Cheng's show and their performance in just ten minutes, if Wang Xingxing had asked this question a month ago, he would have said that it was good-looking without hesitation, but now?

This month, the programs they produced completely broke through their previous concepts, and he couldn't be clearer than he had personally participated in the production of the shows, behind those programs that seemed to be full of bad taste, there were far more details than the current variety shows, these shows were by no means simply obscene variety shows, but full of countless painstaking efforts, and the meticulousness far exceeded the genius production of the current variety shows.

"We may say that if the variety shows in this world are positioned as normal variety shows, the show I want you to do is actually a completely different variety show, these shows may have all kinds of skins, but whether it is interesting or not is the first rule of this kind of show, if a show is not interesting, no matter how good the other aspects of the show are, it is useless, I will not tolerate the existence of a show full of academic value but the audience looks at it and yawns, which is the first thing you should remember when you make a show in the future. ”

"Yes!" nodded together among the twelve members of the troupe who were mentally ready.

"Next is the second one, the creator is the soul of the show. Fan Cheng said.

"Do you know the price of celebrity artists participating in variety shows now?" asked Fan Cheng.

"I don't know ......," everyone shook their heads.

"I don't know. Fan Cheng said.

"But it doesn't matter, we just need to know one thing, that is, the price of celebrity artists participating in variety shows in the future is very high, how high is it? More than 50% of the investment in a variety show may be invested in star remuneration. ”

"So tall?" everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Fan Cheng said: "This is actually normal, the reason why a star is invited to participate in variety shows is because he is already a star, and when the production team can't produce a good enough program, inviting stars to star and using their fame to increase ratings has become the most concise way." ”

"This ......" everyone was disturbed by Fan Cheng's words and had nowhere to complain, his words sounded calm, but in fact, his poisonous tongue was to death, what does it mean that you can't produce excellent programs and have to invite stars?

If this is said publicly, it is estimated that there will be an uproar immediately.

Fan Cheng didn't seem to care about this, and he continued: "In my show, this will never be allowed. ”

"My show will never pay more than 20% of the production cost of the show!"

No one spoke.

Fan Cheng said: "I'm not a person who is reluctant to spend money, but where the money is spent is the key, the quality of the show itself is always the most important, artists can use it, but it should never be the existence that determines the quality of the program." ”

Wang Xingxing and the others all nodded, at least at this stage, they also agreed with Fan Cheng's statement, because they were far from being celebrities, and if they wanted to say that the remuneration was just a fixed salary.

Next is the third point, implementing personal roles is the basic professional quality of artists. ”

Fan Cheng stretched out his index finger and said: "Remember this word: character, everything you show in front of people, is the main reason why people remember you."

The easiest thing to remember is always the person's characteristics rather than the name, such as Wang Xingxing, the audience who watched my four episodes of the show may remember his name no more than one percent, but if you ask them if they know the little fat man obscene Wang, they will definitely remember it immediately, this is the role of the character!

To exaggerate, there is even no right or wrong role in the role, of course a good role is good, but a bad role is also a role, if you really have a negative role, it seems that Wang Xingxing's current role is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as people remember you, there will still be many people who come to flatter you.

For actors, a fixed role is a disaster, because it will limit a person's acting path, but have you ever thought that to have a fixed acting path, you first need an actor to leave an image for the audience, this is what I want you to remember, first abandon those who don't have a fixed image or it will limit a person's acting path and other remarks, because to do this, you must first have an image that is remembered!"

This so-called personal role, the most vivid example of Fan Cheng's world is Luo Yufeng, she is not good-looking, she will be ridiculed by everyone when she sees the story, but with these, she successfully stood out.

Fan Cheng doesn't have any feelings of liking or dislike for Luo Yufeng, but it is undeniable that relying on the management of his special image, at least in terms of leaving attention and making money with this attention, Luo Yufeng is successful.

Fan Cheng could see that some people had uncomfortable looks on their faces, and his words were really not good, as if he could abandon his temperance and do anything in order to achieve success.

But he didn't care about these but talked about the fourth article: "The fourth article is the short drama that Wang Xingxing just performed for you, and the various joint tricks of this short drama will be told to you in the next class, the key is this so-called three-stage progressive performance, as a participant in the variety show I produced, you must figure out the rhythm in the face of this kind of performance." ”

"Next, the fifth rule is not to expose the lies set up for the sake of the program. is also a short drama just now, it is a huge performance failure to put your hand in but not so hot, in the early days of variety shows, this kind of performance can never be pierced with lies. Fan Cheng said.

"But the audience should be able to see it, right? Although the water is hot, the water in the bathtub is not steaming, and if it is really burned, it will be red, right?

"The audience didn't care. ”

"Don't care?"

Fan Cheng gave an example: "You have all seen cross talk, right? The fans of cross talk actors, some are used as swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and sometimes they are used as props for swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and even claim that they can't move when they are useless, when the actors take out the fans, do the audience really regard the fans as swords, guns, swords, and halberds or something? Of course it can't be, right? In fact, the same is true for the water in the bathtub, we say it's hot, he is hot, and we, as participants in variety shows, have to show where he's hot. ”

"Is there only a bathtub?"

"Of course, it's not just a bathtub, for example, doing a food show, giving you a bowl of noodles, you feel very unpalatable when you eat it, at this time, unless your character is very special or there is a special setting in the script, you have to show that this side is very delicious, even if you vomit it immediately the next second you leave the camera, in front of the camera, you must also act delicious!" Fan Cheng said.

"This ...... Isn't that a lie?"

"Liar?" Fan Cheng said with a smile: "How do you know if the staff deliberately sent you something unpalatable? What if this is a whole person? What if there happens to be a food manufacturer watching your performance and considering giving you an advertisement?"

"Makes sense......" Everyone nodded one after another, in a state that they didn't know the real situation, rashly saying that it was unpalatable might cause all kinds of problems, so it was indeed necessary to say that it was delicious first.

Japanese artists in the previous life, when they were doing food reports, they were often complained that they would only say "European and Italian sucks", many times it is not that the artist does not know to say anything else, but it is really said that delicious is the simplest and most comprehensive response.

Next, the last three.

"Article 6 is more complicated, 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. ”

"At this stage, you may not know much about this, but I want to tell you that this sixth article is the key to whether you can be promoted from a junior variety artist to an intermediate artist. ”

Fan Cheng didn't seem to have the desire to elaborate on the sixth article, and his narration soon came to the seventh: "The bottom line must not be breached." ”

"What is the bottom line? Ensure safety, take a correct position, do not promote wrong and illegal things such as drug use, try not to contact anything related to the country, politics, religion, this is the bottom line of variety shows, and it is also the bottom line of funny, and programs that break through these bottom lines are very easy to cause quarrels, and at that time, the funny nature of variety shows will not exist, and variety shows will lose their interesting nature!"

Everyone nodded, Fan Cheng is defining the scope of variety shows, the so-called variety shows should first pursue funny and it is not without a bottom line, only by setting these bottom lines can the development of the show be limited and not let the show get out of control.
