Chapter 30 The most suitable short drama for China

"Do you want me to shoot these?" asked Sun Maofeng.

"I'm going to let you host the show, but the style of the show is similar to those shows, and maybe even you'll do something similar, so if you want to take on the job, you have to be mentally prepared. Fan Cheng said.

"How ......much does it cost to act?" asked Sun Maofeng.

"Three hundred each time, under normal circumstances, this show will be filmed three times a week. Fan Cheng said.

Three times a week, you can earn about 4,000 a month, although it is far from being as famous as a star, but it is still a very high income in 2000.

Although it is very high, Sun Maofeng is not particularly satisfied with the price, because the cost of treatment to be done every month is higher, but he has not looked for other jobs before, and now this job is the highest he can find.

After hesitating for a minute, he finally nodded: "Okay, I see." ”

"You promised?"

"Yes, what's next?" Sun Maofeng asked.

Fan Cheng took out a few other videotapes and handed them to him: "This is the course of the variety show, you can go back and take a look at the film I filmed when I was teaching the troupe before, and here is the script of the next show." ”

If you can, of course, the program production needs to interview the host who comes to apply, but when the time and money candidates are facing difficulties, Fan Cheng can find someone is already quite good, how can he do any interviews.

Although Fan Cheng's first four episodes of the program have been broadcast, its impact has not disappeared, and in the days when the production was interrupted, the nationwide research and discussion of these four episodes has continued.

There are still many voices of criticism, especially the voices of practitioners are almost not positive, they almost completely ignore the praise when the fourth episode was first broadcast, and these voices, intentionally or unintentionally, almost all of them grasp the evil things of Fan Cheng's first two shows.

These voices play a guiding role, causing many ordinary viewers to also tend to criticize, these viewers are very forgetful, almost everyone forgets how happy they are when they watch the show, and instead attacks the show with practitioners, as if they watched the show with a critical psychology before, and they don't think the show is good at all.

But that doesn't change some of the facts.

The fact is that Fan Cheng's four episodes of the program are really good-looking, and it is a brand-new work that the audience of this era has never seen at all, people like this work, no matter how vulgar and boring it is, but they are all ordinary people, ordinary people are vulgar, you can't expect every ordinary person to understand technology, appreciate famous paintings and symphonies.

Of course, on the surface, people still maintain the appearance of a decent man and a gentleman, and disdain Fan Cheng's program, but the subtle thing is that the number of downloads and the number of views of the four episodes of the program on the Internet have not decreased.

In fact, this point is the same from 2000 to 2017, from China to Japan, for example, in 17 there is a work called "The Wish of Scum", although this work that has both animation and live-action is quite popular among a few groups, but in fact, there is no traffic in Japanese TV media, and the broadcast time is also late at night, it seems that no one pays attention at all, and no one cares about the ratings or anything, only one number is exposed, that is, the recording rate of this drama.

A late-night TV series that does not have any discussion on the surface is also used by third- and fourth-tier actors, but this drama achieved the second recording rate in the quarter, which shows that people secretly recorded it and watched it themselves in the dead of night.

The same is true for these four episodes, which seem to be spurned by everyone on the surface, but in fact, there are not many people who remember this episode of the show and secretly pay attention to whether there are any new works.

Ordinary people are like this, as for the practitioners, scolding and scolding, in fact, the attention to Fan Cheng's program may be more than ordinary people, they are professional, and they can see more things from Fan Cheng's program.

In Fan Cheng's four episodes of the program, there are many things that are first seen in the industry, and the first episode of the program is constantly interspersed with interviews with Wan Hong as the plot is promoted, using a narrative method similar to movie flashbacks and memories, and the introduction of this narrative method into variety shows is the first time people have seen it.

Let's take the second issue of kiss to endure the contestants, professionals can also see at a glance that it is absolutely impossible for the artists in this to really kiss, the artist's kiss is like Godot in "Waiting for Godot", once it appears, the show will end, and variety shows, naturally, it is impossible to shoot only such an issue, so the kiss will always be waiting, and the participants will always be stopped and punished the moment they pout and close their eyes.

The third and fourth episodes are even more surprising, the first two episodes of the program are only done by the program team that has been to the end for the time being, but the last two episodes of the program are normal, and ordinary TV stations can produce them, especially the escape room of the fourth issue, which can almost be "seamless" with the current puzzle program boom, and for a while, many practitioners have started the idea of producing similar programs.

The domestic variety show entertainment industry, on the whole, is still mainly learning, and the goal of their learning, without Japan, they can only learn from Europe and the United States, but now there are pioneers directly in China, so do you want to learn?

If they could, they would directly learn from it, but the difference between domestic and foreign countries is that the brand of your program has been played, and so many people across the country have watched these four episodes, and it is not appropriate to directly copy them all.

In addition, Fan Cheng's cooperation with the North Group has also made the industry more taboo, the North Group has a state-owned background, and a small producer of a junior TV station naturally has nothing to care about, but if it is the North Group, then everyone should be cautious about learning.

Although it is impossible to plagiarize directly, the research on these four episodes of the program has not stopped, but unfortunately, although these practitioners are aware of the brand-new of Fan Cheng's four episodes, but they have never come to any results, Fan Cheng's program is too new, and it has added such obscene and obscene things to it, these things that will never be adopted are like distractions in multiple-choice questions that hinder people's research on the program, making it difficult for practitioners to find the real key points of the program for the time being.

After preparing for a few more days, on the morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month, Fan Cheng came to Yangji TV with the New Jiben Troupe, people from the Comprehensive Entertainment Channel, Sun Maofeng and others.

In this world of China, Beilin Province is the central province of the three northeastern provinces, and Yangji City is the capital of Beilin Province, the position of Yangji TV station is quite embarrassing, because they have a Beilin Provincial TV station above, as a municipal TV station established by the state, Yangji TV station has neither the right to upgrade nor the ability to upgrade, and can only always be a little brother under Beilin TV.

Although the location is awkward, Yangji TV still has a great advantage compared with the junior TV stations in the same city, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the three studios in the station are not something that small TV stations can have.

In fact, the situation is similar across the country, and unless there are big companies in the background, it is impossible for almost all junior TV stations to afford a studio.

The process of renting a studio for Yangji Station is also very complete, Cheng Gaoge quickly went through the process, and Yangji Station even gave a relatively favorable price, but they also made a request, that is, to send the production staff in the station to watch the recording of the show.

Obviously, although it does not have the ability to only do top-level variety shows, Yangji TV also knows the value of Fan Cheng's programs.

Fan Cheng doesn't mind that someone comes to watch the filming of the show, after all, the show is to be broadcast outside, and the real key is when the script is finalized in the production of the show, and there is no secret in the filming process.

However, the filming process did not go smoothly.

Now Fan Cheng has discovered that Wang Xingxing and Wan Hong really have rare potential, they may not be smart, but it is this kind of unintelligence that makes them think less, they don't understand Fan Cheng's program production method very well, so just be obedient.

But Sun Maofeng is different, he has also been mixed in the TV circle and has done other programs, the script given to him by Fan Cheng originally opened his eyes, and as soon as he entered the preparation stage after coming to the studio, Sun Maofeng's surprise became more and more.

Fan Chengxin began to produce this show "Eight o'clock in the evening, all the staff gathered", as a whole is a short drama and live combination of the program, the first half an hour, by the members of the Yoshimoto Theater Troupe to perform the short play, the second half hour of live, is a fusion of various possible comprehensive performances, the short play has nothing to say, Sun Maofeng most of the time as long as the control and introduction of the scene, the key is the next half hour, Sun Maofeng even felt that this half hour was redundant.

In the first issue, Fan Cheng arranged for the members of Yoshimoto's troupe to do game challenges, Sun Maofeng didn't understand the content of the second half hour at all, in his opinion, the content of this half hour did not have any central idea, and he was embarrassed to death.

What Sun Maofeng doesn't understand is that the content arranged by Fan Cheng in the next half hour actually has a central idea, and this central idea is "reaction art".

The so-called "reaction art", in fact, the three-stage progressive falling into the water that Fan Cheng explained to the members of the troupe in class before is a kind of reaction technique, this kind of performance is simple and interesting, and the impact on the audience is also very high, which is an efficient type that artists are easiest to master and learn.

Fan Cheng's world's Chinese entertainment circle does not have a formed concept of "reaction art", but it does not mean that there are no similar performances at all, such as Feng Gong's performance of "The Matter of Our Village" at the Spring Festival Gala in 2007, as well as the performances of many northern artists such as Sun Xiaobao, all contain the essence of the so-called "reaction art".

Fan Cheng's purpose is this, but the class is not to teach the members of the troupe how to do variety shows, and there must be enough performances and programs to allow them to grasp the essence of variety shows.
