Chapter 51: Guidance

After a few glasses of wine and the age, everyone became familiar with it at once.

Park Jung-hyuk squinted his eyes and said solemnly to haha: "You are new to join in, and the timing of catching up is neither good nor bad." But the program team has great expectations for you, so you need to be able to show more things on the basis of your efforts. ”

The PD of the show was able to say these words, haha didn't dare to slack off.

He hurriedly put down his wine glass and sincerely asked, "Then PD, what should I do?" ”

Park Jung-hyuk did not answer him directly, but asked rhetorically, "Have you watched this show?" ”

Haha nodded and said, "After Brother Shi informed me, I read all the previous parts. Just ......"

Park Jung-hyuk waved his hand and encouraged: "There are no outsiders here, just say what you think." ”

Haha is a little familiar with Park Jung-hyuk, and I also found that this PD is not such a rigid person, not paying much attention to authority and the like, and is an object that can be communicated well.

So he let his guard down a little and spoke his mind. "If I continue to be challenged like this, I don't think I can make any qualitative changes even if I were replaced. Anyway, it's just a matter of hard work, and people with a lot of strength are more useful than an inconspicuous person like me. ”

Park Jung-hyuk gave him a thumbs up and praised: "Not bad, not bad, you look very carefully." That's exactly what I'm going to say, and I hope you can savor it. ”

Seeing that the two began to discuss work, Lu Chongyan no longer ate with his mouth shut, but listened quietly.

His dream is to be a singer, and sooner or later he will have the opportunity to appear on TV.

What the two of them said now did not help him.

Park Jung-hyuk straightened out his thoughts, and then asked haha, "I don't know if you have watched the latest episode of the show?" ”

Haha still nodded, but didn't say anything.

It was clear that he was well prepared.

If you add in this way, the effect will definitely be much better.

Park Jung-hyuk saw it in his heart and didn't point it out. Instead, he continued: "The part that is now recorded is called Guessing the Question. But the real purpose is not to guess the core content of the joke. It's about using guò in this way, so that the MCs can show more su. And then according to these things, give everyone a distinct role positioning. ”

"Character positioning?" Haha, I put this word in my mouth and chewed it repeatedly, but I was a little confused.

Don't blame him for this, before "Infinite Challenge", there was no role positioning in variety shows at all.

Everyone is acting with their talents, and at most they will show their own personalities.

It can be said that when the current Korean variety shows are recorded, they are still relatively casual and do not pay attention to the development of the artist's image.

But when Park Jung-hyuk was discussing the show with Kim Tae-ho, he had already introduced the common practice of many variety shows later, that is, to design an image for the artist.

Then let the artists perform around this image in the show.

There are many artists who have benefited from the image in variety shows and become popular.

For example, the fraudster Roh Hong-chul in "Infinite Challenge", the demon daddy Park Myung-so, the unlucky ghost Lee Kwang-so in "Runingman", ACE Song Ji-hyo, etc., are all beneficiaries.

Kim Tae-ho was very interested in Park Jung-hyuk's theories and had already begun to devote himself to research.

The current guessing expert, in fact, is to use the relatively simple content and higher density of the cooperation to discover the shining point of each MC.

After that, I will follow these things and design a character for each MC that fits his own.

Seeing that Haha didn't understand very well, Park Jung-hyuk explained in depth. "The so-called character image is completely different from the character image in film and television dramas. Actors can play completely different roles from themselves through guò scripts, but this does not work at all in variety shows. Because variety shows are not one or two episodes, they can end in a short time. It's normal to record a better show for a year or two. If you keep letting the MC play a role that is completely contrary to yourself for such a long time, sooner or later it will be exposed. ”

Haha has also acted, of course I know what he means.

After thinking about it, I have to admit that what Park Jung-hyuk said makes sense.

Variety shows are recorded every week, and even for several days in a row in an emergency.

That is, once you participate in a variety show, it becomes a part of life.

No matter how powerful an artist is, it is impossible to play a role that is completely inconsistent with himself every day.

Park Jung-hyuk continued to explain: "The characters in variety shows will only be amplified to a certain extent in the personalities, behaviors, and lives of the members themselves. Make this kind of image more interesting in the show, and it can connect the audience with real life. In this way, after a long period of fermentation, it will become a firm concept in the minds of the audience. ”

Haha, I finally got my senses. "In other words, I still have to be myself when I'm recording. It's just a matter of giving full play to your own strengths, so that you can have your own role. ”

Talking to smart people is simple, Park Jung-hyuk slapped his face and praised: "Hahaxi, I can now be sure that recruiting you to "Infinite Challenge" is the wisest decision I have ever made." ”

Haha was embarrassed, lowered his head, hugged Park Jung-hyuk's waist, and said with a smile: "Eh, Lord PD is so boastful, it makes my face red." ”

Returning to the question of haha's character image, Park Jung-hyuk asked, "Do you know how to shape your image?" ”

Haha thought about it seriously and tried to answer: "Smart, you can show yourself more in terms of using your brain." ”

Park Jung-hyuk waved his hand and vetoed his idea. "You have to figure out a matter of principle, that is, we are a variety show. What is a variety show? Funny, making the audience laugh is the fundamental. When the audience is watching the show, because they are in the third perspective, they will naturally bring God's perspective and have a condescending feeling. If you're showing something smart, agile, handsome, or whatever, do you think the audience will be interested? ”

The first idea of "that ......" was rejected, which took a blow to Haha's self-confidence.

Park Jung-hyuk helped him show the way. "On the contrary, if you are in the show, you are a little more ignorant, a little stupid, a little clumsy. The audience will feel that you are not as good as them. Then in the minds of the audience, you are like a clown in a circus. You say, do the audience laugh when they see the clown? ”

Although Park Jung-hyuk's words are full of derogatory connotations, haha has to admit that what he said is the truth.

Park Jung-hyuk is not wrong, those who can gain popularity with their positive, sunny, and handsome images are basically the images in film and television dramas.

And the people who become popular in variety shows basically have nothing to do with these aspects.

For example, Lee Kwang-so, if it weren't for the unlucky image and the slave of the so-called god of doom, he would not have become an Asian prince.

Park Jung-hyuk's words went a little deeper, "According to my intelligence, haha you are very weak in common sense, which is a very good selling point." ”

"Eh, what did the PD say? I'm a master's degree, how can I not understand common sense? Haha's face turned red and he defended hysterically.

Park Jung-hyuk remained silent and raised his hand to pour a glass of wine for Haha. "Oh? That was my mistake. Come, taste this wine, but I brought it back from Sokcho. As you know, the taste of Japanese sake is truly amazing. ”

Seeing that PD poured himself wine, haha finally suppressed his grievances.

He took a sip from his glass, and the sweet wine escaped into his intestines, and the oiliness of the meat was relieved at once. "Ah, that's so cool. PD, where did you buy this sake in Japan? Next time I go, be sure to buy some. ”

The glutamese next to him were sprayed with all the crab meat, and it was everywhere. But he just couldn't help it, and his face holding his stomach and smiling was entangled.

Park Jung-hyuk did the same, his head shut, and he reluctantly put down his glass.

If he delayed a little longer, he promised that all the drinks inside would spill out.

Seeing the two of them laughing miserably, haha didn't know why, and asked suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?" Did I say anything ridiculous? ”

He didn't say that it was okay, but when he said this, Park Jung-hyuk and Lu Chong-han simply rolled on the floor, twitching like an octopus.

"What the hell are you laughing at?" I found that I had become a joke, and haha I couldn't care about the majesty of the PD, and the swear words came out.

Under Lu Chongyan's fluffy beard, he barely gave an answer. "Haha, Sokcho is the place of our country. It's in Gangwon-do, not Japanese. ”

Haha sat still, and his face completely turned into a mummy.

I only felt a sense of devastating shame rising from the tail vertebrae, and it was gradually engulfing itself.

He slowly turned his head and met Park Jung-hyuk's teasing gaze.

Just now, Park Jung-hyuk said that his common sense is not very good, and he also refuted it with his master's identity.

As a result, it was not clear whether Sokcho was from its home country or from Japan.

It's a shame.

was caught, haha, he gave up on himself and threw the chopsticks in his hand suddenly.

Grabbing Park Jung-hyuk's shoulder, he shook desperately. "PDxi, in vain I thought you were a good person? How can this be done? If I was on the show, would I still have a face to see people in the future? ”

Park Jung-hyuk's bowels hurt because of the shaking of haha, and tears flew everywhere. He snorted and chirped: "Just be funny when you do a show, what's the use of asking for face?" ”

Haha silently let go of him, hung his head, crossed his legs, and sat dejectedly. "I found it to be a mistake to join the show. I am afraid that from now on, my glorious image will be gone. ”

His words were exchanged for the four middle fingers of Park Jung-hyuk and Lu Chonghan, which was a strong contempt for him.

This guy gets into the role so quickly, and he can adapt to the atmosphere of the new show between fights.

With such an appearance, Park Jung-hyuk finally put his mind at ease and knew that his choice had not traveled through time and space and became a mistake.

Next, he also explained to Haha some things that can be used.

For example, Haha has a wide range of contacts in the entertainment industry and knows many people.

Even in the show, he is also very close to Yoo Jae-seok, Park Myung-so, and Roh Hong-chul.

Therefore, Park Jung-hyuk told him that when appropriate, he could use the method of breaking the news to expose other people's private affairs.

In this way, on the basis of ignorance, Haha has added another image of a Haha reporter.

The artist's private story is also the content that the audience likes.
