Chapter 45: Those with a Heart
Filming variety shows is not as simple as people think. casually invite a few popular stars, use a camera to follow and then edit something, it is not called a variety show, at best it can only be regarded as an advertising program.
Earning money from fans is not called ability, but earning money from strange audiences, that is called Niu B.
"running-man" has many fans around the world, and even many foreigners go out of their way to learn Korean after watching "RM", buy kimchi domestic products, and so on. Who didn't know those hosts before "RM" aired? In the end, it really attracted many foreign audiences.
On the other hand, after buying the copyright, China's "Stupid Brothers" is under the same program theme. The stars are more famous, the broadcast platform is larger, and the crew invests more, but in the end, it is only a complete commercial. Out of the country, "Stupid Brothers" has no foreign audiences to watch it at all.
As a Chinese, Lin Dong was also depressed for a long time. Our country has a lot of land and talents, and the same subject matter, in the case of superiority in all aspects, the things filmed lost to the kimchi country. A "small production" that loses less to people and less to shoot at a lower cost. It's hard to accept no matter how you think about it.
After coming to Kimchi Country for a period of time, through the two program groups, I also met many variety show stars. Lin Dong finally mastered some doorways a little.
First from the top of the starting point, it falls into the lower ride.
In order to broadcast the effect, the Kimchi Country program strictly controls the number and duration of advertisements, does not allow titles, does not allow brand names in the program, and so on. Such a show certainly looks more fluid and coherent.
Domestic programs are all about money, and they can implant as many advertisements as they can, and what titles, advertising words, etc. are simply frustrating, and the broadcast effect is naturally rubbish.
On the other hand, from the perspective of the actors, the gap is even more obvious.
As the saying goes, when a man is rich, he becomes bad, but in fact, regardless of men and women, there is always some change when they are rich. That's why there is such a derogatory term as "nouveau riche".
Chinese celebrities are basically in this state of "nouveau riche", and they really regard themselves as "stars" as aliens, and they are forced to be very high. Therefore, the so-called "reality shows" filmed are naturally all kinds of fake shows.
And the income of the stars of Kimchi Country is probably much less. The biggest name of "Running-Man", Liu Jae-seok, is only 10 million won in an episode, less than 60,000 RMB, and it is not as good as one or two episodes of Chinese big-name stars in a year. Therefore, the stars of Kimchi Country naturally can't "break out". "Reality show" is closer to "real people" than pure show.
In the final analysis, it is still a "money" word, and this is the reality of the nine days.
ββ
The "couple's special" that is being filmed now is like this, and the male host began to carry out the charm divergence link.
Lee Kwang-so worked hard to perform the giraffe dance he learned from nowhere, how to make a joke, a cold person who was born as a model, but was transformed into a brain-dead joker by the program team. Such a shameless performance, but the female guest assigned to him is Lu Shiyan, who is old enough to be a mother.
Lee Kwang-so, who looks like a thin bamboo pole, has to pair with the big fat woman to have enough cups. I had to nod my head and bow down, looking excited as if I had won the jackpot. This is the battle chicken in the cup, but who can you talk to? Variety artists should be like this.
β¦β¦
After some performances, it was finally Kim Jong Kook's turn.
"Mr. Kim Jong Kook, what are you going to perform next?"
"I'm going to sing a song called 'my-destiny.'" The plot that has been discussed a long time ago, Kim Jong Kook is ready.
But Yoo Jae-seok didn't plan to end like this, "Do you mean Miss Li Zhen?" β
What's going on with this Nima? Kim Jong Kook wanted to beat people, but in the end he had to pinch his nose and admit "Yes, you are my destiny." β
"Wow......" There was a ghost crying and howling, and everyone in "RM" naturally had to complain.
"I, if I can be allowed again;
If I could see you again;
β¦β¦ Youβare-my-destinyβ¦β¦
My destiny calls to you. β
The program team was very face-saving, although they did not let Kim Jong Kook finish singing, but they also sang the first paragraph completely. Sure enough, it is the king of love songs in the famous kimchi country, and the effect of this kind of song is really powerful, and it is ten out of ten. And he aimed a pair of small eyes at Li Zhen throughout the whole process, I don't know whether it is true or false, in short, the emotional investment is leveraged.
Li Zhen was confessed like this, although it was only in the show, his cheeks were still red with shame. Such an obvious pink line is naturally a successful pairing, and the two team up reasonably.
"Soya, it seems that there is no need for follow-up planning. You see the two of them seem to have some calls, do you need us to meddle anymore? "Whether it's a blind cat touching a dead mouse or not, Lin Dong has to show off.
"Yes, absolutely! The best thing is to get the certificate tomorrow, and the faster the wine is set the day after tomorrow, the better. We must add firewood to the fire and push my uncle into the fire pit. Soya has already started to talk nonsense, as if seeing the elders of the family greatly appreciating the credit of the little beauty Soya.
"Okay. If something happens, you'll have to save me. β
Soya's response was to pat her small chest vigorously, looking like she was angry.
ββ
"Now that we're grouped, let's play the first game. In order to test the tacit understanding between couples, the program team prepared a two-person guessing game. The team with the most guesses in the allotted time wins, the top three get the R-Ball, and the last two receive penalties. β
Liu Zaishi smiled mysteriously and glanced at Lin Dong behind the camera, "The punishment method is: eat couple biscuits, and limit the remaining length to within 0.5cm." β
Several other teams got it more or less right, and it was the turn of the Kim Jong Kook team.
"Zhong Guo oppa, are you answering questions or performing?" A two-player guessing game, a very old-fashioned performance, a guessing way. Lee Jin is playing for the first time, so he can only give up the decision-making power to Kim Jong Kook.
"The first time you play this game, you may not know how to express it. So I'll play you guess. β
Kim Jong Kook is full of confidence, there are a few groups in front of him who only answer one or two questions correctly, and no matter how unlucky he is, he can't be worse than them.
"Mr. Kim Jong Kook, what type of questions do you have more confidence in? β¦β¦β
Liu Zaishi casually found something to attract Tiger Zhongguo's attention, and Lin Dong walked to the side of the roulette wheel with a video camera, and reached out to stick a magnet on the option of "daily necessities".
Then he continued to commit the crime and replaced the "daily necessities" cue card that had been prepared a long time ago. With Liu Dashen's cooperation, everything went very secretly.
"OK, the result of Kim Jong Kook's roulette selection is the daily necessities question, the timing is about to start, 3, 2, 1, go!"
The first question is "sanitary napkins".
Kim Jong Kook was dumbfounded, what is this Nima doing? How to perform the effect of a small towel?
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a capable person, and he is a tiger country who is more serious in everything, and he has not given up on such a topic. First, he held his stomach and made a posture of stomach pain; Then he covered the file with both hands and made a sticker-like gesture like a diaper; finally lay on the ground, slept on the left side, slept on the right side, and performed the actions of those female stars sleeping peacefully in the small towel advertisement.
The golden tiger's actions almost didn't make Lin Dong laugh, and as a proposition, he was confused; Others can only laugh out loud. Only Li Zhenqiang held back a smile and meditated there.
"Huh! Skip, skip! Kim Jong Kook wasted a lot of time, and finally chose to give up the first question, which is really too special.
Question 2: Women's autumn pants.
The golden tiger was dumbfounded again. Raise your thick thighs and demonstrate a pants-wearing motion.
This action is obvious, and Li Zhen is not stupid, so he naturally replied: "Pants." β
"Wrong."
"Jeans, trousers, sweatpants, cropped pants......"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong......"
"Yikes!" Kim Jong Kook was furious, rolled up his sweatpants, revealing his hairy calves, and performed the action of wearing pants again.
"Stockings!"
"Wrong."
Maybe it's the will of God, Li Zhen didn't get it right, he said all the types of pants, and he missed the correct answer to autumn pants.
"Skip, skip!"
Question 3: Sesame oil.
Kim Jong Kook was speechless, he didn't even know how to express "oil", and he was so strange that he ordered sesame oil. "Skip!"
Question 4: Tofu.
β¦β¦
Under the devastation of such a set of spoof question boards, Kim Jong Kook was physically and mentally exhausted, and set a record of absolutely no lower score, zero points!
The other pair to be punished was also reasonable, and it was not surprising that Ji Hyo and Gary were elected. This pair died purely by themselves, and did not let professional actor Song Jihyo do the demonstration, so they had to let Zhizhi guess the question. I don't know if they're specifically going for punishment.
"Ahem, ahem!" Liu Zaishi appeared again to host, "I also said just now that the couple biscuits should be within 0.5cm. Added note, every time you lose, it decreases by 0.1cm, do both teams understand? β
Such a punishment, in the end, it would be hellish not to kiss together. Although Gary and Song Jihyo were a little embarrassed, they passed the punishment smoothly, their lips touched slightly, and the two of them only blushed a little. There is definitely a situation, but Lin Dong has no time to study it.
Kim Jong Kook is such a serious person, even if he makes such a game that is obviously not technical, he must study it. "Li Zhenxi, wait a minute, your face will be to the left, and my face will be to the right. Otherwise, the noses will touch together, and it will definitely be more than 0.5cm. β
It's just that Kim Jong Kook never thought that Lin Dong, who was hiding in the crowd and carrying the camera, had already moved his hands and feet, and the seemingly normal biscuits were gently held by Lin Dong, and they would break off as long as he used a little more force, which was simply frustrating.
After the strategy was discussed, Kim Jong Kook and Li Zhen each bit one end of the biscuit and slowly approached the middle. It's just that not long after the start, the biscuit fell down with a "pop", not to mention 0.5cm, not even more than 5cm.
"No, no, there's something wrong with this cookie."
"Hahaha."
The Kimchi Country variety show is so bottomless, or Lin Dong is so bottomless, after playing around a few times, the goal has become less than 0.1cm.
In the end, Kim Jong Kook could only cover the place where the lips of the two people met with both hands and completed the task. It's the same as the previous episode of holding Yoon Eun-hye's ears with both hands.
A group of well-intentioned people looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
