Chapter 293: The Concept of 'Challenge' Introduced in Advance
What kind of program is "Infinite Challenge"?
If you want to make this point clear, it is estimated that it will take a long time, after all, a timeless and long-lived variety show is quite rare in Korean TV programs.
From its inception in 2005 to 2015, the "Infinite Challenge" column was not slapped on the beach by the waves like other programs, but over time, it has become a must-see program on Saturday in the minds of many people, which has become a habit!
If you interview passers-by and fans to see what they think of "Infinite Challenge" and the excitement of "Infinite Challenge", maybe everyone and everyone have different opinions, but there is one thing that everyone agrees on in this show, that is, "Challenge"!
In 2005, when "Challenge" was broadcast, the word "challenge" was also put on the table by the column group, but as a test outdoor variety show, "Infinite Challenge", which started with the theme of "challenging impossible tasks", did not receive much applause during this period, and the ratings were not satisfactory, and the word "challenge" was more like a superficial and more frequent time
Although it starts with a challenge, what is more prominent in the setting of the link is to use the theme to make fun. The gamification of the program process has not departed from the game-based framework of traditional indoor variety shows, but the theme of "challenge" limits more options for games.
Train VS 100-meter race, dog VS dog planing swimming, mechanical car wash VS manual car wash, etc. are all projects that sound interesting, but they just sound interesting.
In the show, not only did the core of 'challenge' be weakened, but the challenge seemed to be more like serving for fun during this period, a non-cohesive MC team, coupled with the ever-changing role positioning, the continuous change of MC doomed "Unconspiracy Challenge" to be only a failed experiment.
The revised "Unreasonable Challenge" has re-switched from outdoor to indoor variety shows, as a veteran of indoor variety shows. Whether it is Yoo Jae-seok, Park Myung-so, HAHA, Jung Jun-ha, Jung Hyung-don, etc., it is naturally easy to adapt to the newly revised "Unreasonable Challenge".
Returning to traditional indoor recording, there are more opportunities for hosts to communicate and cooperate with each other. And the highlights of indoor variety shows are mostly focused on the eloquence of the MCs, and creating laughter in the conversation is familiar to Gagman, who has debuted for a long time.
The redesigned game 'Aha~Quiz' is like a tailor-made for MCs, and it was during this period that the host's team gradually settled.
Jung Hyuk-jae's mind reviewed the information he knew, and he was still very clear about the development path of "Infinite Challenge".
"Hejae, Minister Xu called you over, right?" Yoo Jae-seok on the side whispered to Jung Hyuk-jae.
Heard Liu Zaishi's words. Zheng Hyukzai nodded, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes at the brother in front of him, he was still pretending to be confused with me at this point, is it true that you told me a secret?
Liu Zaishi naturally didn't know what Zheng Hyukzae was thinking in his heart, so he continued to talk to him by himself, "When you are asked to speak later, you should be considerate, after all, many of these people are your seniors." ”
For Jung Hyuk-jae, Yoo Jae-seok still cares about his younger brother very much. In fact, he is not particularly worried about dealing with people, but sometimes he still needs to be cautious, after all, this is not a TV drama production bureau, and the complex relationship between the various column groups of the variety show department is not something that Zheng Hyuk-jae can figure out when he first comes here. Before you figure out the relationship, you still need to be careful.
"I know!"
Jung Hyuk-jae replied, in fact, he didn't need Yoo Jae-seok to remind himself that he had been in the variety show department for ten years in his previous life. He may know much more about the factions in the department than Liu Zaishi.
"Liu Zaishixi, do you have anything to say as the main MC of the show?" The person in charge, Gao PD, suddenly named Liu Zaishi, stared at Liu Zaishi and said slowly.
"Actually, that's true. I had this thought in my mind. Hearing Gao PD call out his name, Liu Zaishi felt a pang in his heart, fortunately, he had just prepared again, otherwise he couldn't answer his name after calling his name, it would be called a shame.
"I think that in the recording process of the show, the role positioning is still a little inaccurate, but the role of Park Myung-so Xi is particularly important in the recording process of the show."
Hearing Liu Zaishi's completely different answer from the few people just now, this high PD was obviously very interested, "Come and talk about it!" ”
"In the show, Park Myung-soxi's villainous image is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, because of everyone's work before, there was not much contact, and some people have never even seen it, but in the show, Park Myung-soxi's straightforwardness and disregard not only shortened the relationship and distance between the members, but also made some people put down their burdens and concentrate on filming and being funny." Liu Jae-seok said so seriously, helping Park Myung-so to brush up on the good feelings of the person in charge of the column group.
If you have to say that the most important thing in the early stage of "Infinite Challenge", then the staff of the column group must prefer Yoo Jae-seok and Park Myung-so, because it is under the influence of these two people that everyone can find their role in the show.
Liu Zaishi's words didn't last long, but everyone in the audience listened very carefully.
After listening to Liu Zaishi's words, Gao PD stretched out his hand and pointed to Zheng Hyuk-jae on the side, "Jung Hyuk-jae, what do you think needs to be improved in terms of columns?" ”
"High PD, I think it's actually like this!" Jung Hyuk-jae said directly: "In the first season of the show, that is, "Unconstrained Challenge", the column team focused too much on comedy and ignored the word challenge. ”
"The second season, which is still on the air, has shifted from outdoor to indoor, and although the ratings are better than the first season, the word challenge still doesn't have any sense of existence!"
Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae say this, Kim Tae-ho, who was originally sitting lazily, suddenly felt that his words seemed to speak to his heart, and he couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Actually, I've always thought that outdoor variety shows are promising!"
Jung Hyuk-jae's words not only widened his eyes, but even Kim Tae-ho on the side was particularly surprised, is this really his own opinion on the current situation of variety shows?
Since decades ago, variety shows have always been the world of indoor variety shows, inviting star artists to come over to participate in games, chat or something, and one episode of the show has passed like this.
Even now, there are more than 30 indoor variety shows under the umbrella of several TV stations in South Korea, and "X-man" and "Love Letter" can be regarded as the pinnacle of indoor variety shows.
is in such a show, even if the writers write the script perfectly, but the audience is not stupid, the script can still be seen at a glance, tired of watching the crooked indoor variety show, outdoor variety show is definitely the development direction of variety shows in the future!
"Actually, if I were to do it, then I would choose to do an outdoor real variety show!"
Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae say this, a look of understanding suddenly appeared on Kim Tae-ho's face, and there was something in his mouth, "Outdoor real variety show? Outdoor real variety show? ”
When Jung Hyuk-jae said this, he actually remembered the early performance of "Infinite Challenge" in his previous life, and various themes played the host team around.
Facing the original team of "Infinite Challenge", Jung Hyuk-jae talked eloquently.
"Move the scene outdoors and leave the process to the MC!" This is what everyone summed up after Jung Hyuk-jae's tirade.
When they heard this, everyone's gaze at Jung Hyuk-jae became different
"Ah, I didn't expect you to be so good at talking today!"
Halfway through the meeting, Gao PD left a ten-minute break for the staff present, during which Yoo Jae-seok came to Jung Hyuk-jae's side and couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing Liu Zaishi's words, Zheng Hyukzai first shook his head, and then said: "Brother Shi, in fact, what I said is nothing at all, the people sitting here are actually my seniors, and they can actually think of what I can think of." ”
Liu Zaishi first waved his hand, and then continued: "Where, you didn't see their eyes looking at you, they were all with admiration!" ”
Hearing Yoo Jae-seok's words, Jung Hyuk-jae's face couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, and it seemed that he was still very happy because of his words.
"Jung Hyuk Jae Xi?"
Jung Hyuk-jae was talking to Yoo Jae-seok when he suddenly heard someone calling his name behind him, and he couldn't help but be startled.
"Hello, Jung Hyuk Jae!"
Turning his head and looking behind him, many others who had just called out their names were Kim Tae-ho, who had just chatted with him, a face that was not very good-looking, but at this moment he was extremely serious.
"Oh, hello Kim Tae-ho xi!"
Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae's words, Kim Tae-ho immediately came up in spirit and stared at Jung Hyuk-jae intently.
"Jung Hyuk Jae, I am particularly in favor of the 'move the scene to the outdoors and hand over the process to the MC' that you just proposed at the meeting!" Kim Tae-ho praised as he gave his thumbs up.
Seeing Kim Tae-ho's performance, Jung Hyuk-jae hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, who made himself just an ordinary porter, although no one knew his true identity. (To be continued.) )
