Chapter 20: Go, Hawaii!

Early the next morning, Li Zhixian came to the office of Rishan MBC Infinite Challenge, and when he walked in the door, there were almost all the people, and about six or seven familiar employees were sitting around the round table. Infinite challenges to a few MCs are not considered to be the main creative members, so except for the occasional special that requires them to participate in the production, they generally do not attend this kind of work meeting.

Lee Do-jun PD bowed slightly to greet him, Lee Ji-hyun bowed in response, Kim Tae-ho PD was looking down at the notebook, not noticing Lee Ji-hyun's presence.

Finding a corner and sitting down, Lee Ji-hyun also took out his notebook and reviewed the materials that Kim Tae-ho sent a message to him last night.

"Uh-huh!" Seeing that several of the main creators were already seated, Kim Tae-ho cleared his throat and said, "Recently, I sorted out the replies on the audience's message board and found that many viewers had a good response to the previous New York special, and I hope to make another overseas special with infinite challenges." I discussed it with Dojoon PD on the phone, and I felt that the schedule for March could be vacated and the 'You go, Hawaii!' that Hong Cheol won from last year's game win. So the first item on the agenda of this meeting was a discussion of the Hawaii special in March. You can brainstorm and share your opinions. ”

Several of the main creators were bowing their heads in contemplation, and they were not in a hurry to express their opinions. Because Li Zhixian is a newcomer, he is not familiar with the production process, and it is impossible to make suggestions.

A moment later, a lady on Li Zhixian's left took the lead in speaking: "The last New York special was only edited into two episodes, and I think this Hawaii special might as well be a large-scale project for a whole month?" ”

Kim Tae-ho PD pondered for a moment and then said, "I think it's okay." Infinite Challenge hasn't done a long-term special for a long time, and it has always been a small special with a single or two episodes, so you can take this opportunity to do a large-scale special with four or five episodes of the program to boost the ratings. ”

After saying that, Kim Tae-ho PD recorded it in the notebook, set the schedule, and then opened his mouth and said, "Then the question now is, if it is made into a large-scale special of four or five issues, how will the weight be filled?" ”

The conference room fell silent again, the weight is always the most difficult threshold for variety shows to jump, and only interesting content can be edited out of weight, and everyone has no clue for a while, and they don't want to be the first bird.

"Why don't you do a hidden camera?"

Kim Tae-ho PD is also distressed, making a two-day itinerary into four to five episodes, which is a huge test of the program team's creative ability and editing ability, and suddenly heard a clear suggestion from the corner.

When he looked up, he noticed that several members were tilting their heads and staring at Li Zhixian with rather surprised expressions.

It turned out that he made the suggestion, Kim Tae-ho PD shook his head and smiled secretly, thinking that he was still young, and the stalk of the hidden camera had been used up by various programs over the years, and at most it would only be used when it was impossible to make up the weight, and the answer he wanted to hear was obviously not this.

Just wanted to teach him out loud, a female colleague next to Li Zhixian had already retorted: "Not to mention whether the audience will feel tired when watching the hidden camera, a hidden camera will not have any weight at all." ”

"That's right!" Another colleague on the opposite side also said: "And several MCs now have a strong eyesight, if they are found to be doing hidden cameras, although they have been doing it for so many years, they naturally know how to cooperate and pretend to be unable to see, but it will definitely have an unnatural feeling, which will affect the broadcast effect." ”

Kim Tae-ho PD saw that someone was answering for him, so he didn't prepare to speak again, but at this time he heard Lee Ji-hyun speak again: "What if I'm talking about a step-by-step large-scale hidden camera operation?" ”

"Oh?" When Kim Tae-ho PD heard Lee Ji-hyun's explanation, he was curious and wanted to hear his thoughts further: "You talk about it first. ”

With the permission of the general PD, Li Zhixian swallowed his heart back into his stomach. He actually took a big risk for a sudden speech just now, and a newcomer who has just joined the company for two days participates in a group meeting for the first time but wants to be in the limelight, which can be said to be a taboo in the workplace. Fortunately, in addition to Kim Tae-ho PD and Lee Do-jun PD, most of the Infinite Challenge program team is mainly young people, and they don't pay much attention to these red tapes, and the rebuttal just now is just a matter of facts.

After a little thought, Li Zhixian explained: "I am also a loyal fan of infinite challenges, and naturally I know that traditional hidden cameras cannot have any weight, and it is unknown whether they will even be completely edited. But the hidden camera I was thinking of is different from the traditional model, and its first step is to hide it from all the members, so as to avoid the unnatural appearance of the aforementioned revelation. ”

Kim Tae-ho p.d. bowed his head and motioned for him to continue.

Second, the traditional hidden camera mainly uses the fraudster to take advantage of the victim's ignorance and make him overwhelmed, so as to produce the feelings of sadness and joy in the end, so as to achieve the purpose of obtaining ratings. In order to get rid of this one-off ending pattern, I thought, why not start as soon as I arrive at the Hawaii airport, step by step through a series of opportunities, starting with a certain member, using the first unwitting victim to passively deceive the second member, and so on, so as to form a ladder hidden camera. ”

Li Zhixian said the above list of analyses in one go, this is the idea that came up from what he used to see and think when watching variety shows, and blurted out a flash of inspiration in his mind, so just now after opening his mouth, his heart has been in a state of hanging, and he will always subconsciously do things that seem very unreliable without thinking about it.

However, after Lee Ji-hyun analyzed this, Kim Tae-ho PD was really moved, this is a new hidden camera model that has never been seen before!

This newcomer can really surprise himself once in a while.

The innovation is very novel, and I want to know if Lee Ji-hyun has a further complete plan, Kim Tae-ho PD asked again: "You said that you want to take advantage of a series of opportunities, so what are these opportunities?" ”

Li Zhixian scratched his head suddenly in embarrassment, and said quite embarrassedly: "Because it was an idea that came to mind suddenly, I haven't thought of it so much." ”

"It's already rare, you're still a newcomer, it's rare to come up with such a new idea." Kim Tae-ho PD first encouraged and praised Lee Ji-hyun, and then asked the other members of the audience, "I think this model is feasible, do you have any opinions?" ”

The surroundings suddenly fell into a noisy discussion, and the members discussed the operability of Li Zhixian's idea with their colleagues. After a while, Lee Do-joon, who was sitting in the second seat of Kim Tae-ho's PD, spoke for the first time since the meeting: "I also think this idea is feasible." ”

The main and deputy bosses have spoken, and even if there are objections, there is no need to speak again, not to mention that everyone thinks that Li Zhixian's creative quality is indeed very high.

"Since there are no objections, then the first part of the Hawaii special is set to be a hidden camera." Kim Tae-ho PD finally made a decision, "The next question to consider is how to naturally cause the whole so-called stepped hidden camera, what is the opportunity that Jihyun is talking about." ”

"Why don't you gamble on canceling your trip to Hawaii and make a fictional survival battle?"

Another voice rang out in the room.
