The essence of variety shows is a fierce reaction.

As long as there is a joke, no matter how small the joke is, as a member of the variety show, you have to react quite a bit.

Smile to smile.

As long as all the guests laugh and create such an atmosphere, then it becomes less difficult to make the audience laugh.

This is indeed the essence, but the variety show that only focuses on this point is the most elementary variety show.

The purpose of variety shows is to bring laughter to people.

With laughter, there are ratings. With ratings, there is the favor of advertisers. With advertisers, the production fee is sufficient.

This is indeed the goal, but it can only bring laughter to variety shows, and in the end, it can only be a variety show.

The variety show I want, in addition to bringing laughter and positioning to the guests, should also have something more. connotation, or whatever.

It not only brings laughter to everyone, but also brings moving, thinking, and shocking.

Of course, that was later. Now, let's think about positioning and ratings first, which is the most pressing issue at the moment.

My name is Kim Tae-ho, and I passed the MBC exam in 02 and became a variety show producer.

Now the show in hand, the situation is very bad.

The show started on April 23, 05, formerly known as [Unconstrained Challenge], which was originally a small unit in MBC's "Saturday" variety show. At that time, he was just a newcomer in the production team, and he was called an assistant director, but he was actually a miscellaneous man.

Although it is said that in the show, there is Liu Zaishi as the MC of the variety show mountain, and the PD and production team are also doing it seriously, and the regular guests are doing their best, but the ratings are always hovering at five o'clock.

However, because of the novel model and the efforts of all the members, it is good to accumulate some popularity.

Because there is a good trend, MBC Variety Bureau decided to take it out separately and make it into an independent Saturday variety show. The show also had its first revision, and its name was changed to "Unreasonable Challenge".

With his excellent performance in the program group. I also became a PD for the first time, the PD of this show. It's not the main PD, but it's also a lot of progress, and it has some rights.

But I didn't expect it. This new variety show model with challenges, although it looks good, but recording it once can't meet the weight of one issue at all. Unreasonable challenge after the revision. It's not so much a variety show as a documentary, and the poor laughter is not enough to fill the 70-minute broadcast time.

Naturally, the results will not be much better. The show, which was originally ready to show off its talents, faced a crisis of getting off the bus from the beginning.

Although the staff, PD, regular guests, and especially Yoo Jae-seok worked hard to save it, and kicked out Park Myung-so, who had a bad review, it was over after only 26 episodes.

The main PD did the desertion. Although it's not good to say this about seniors, Kim Tae-ho still has to say so.

For their own future. Without any struggle at the top, the show that involved dozens of people's efforts came to an end.

The effect is not good, the show gets off, and the PD escapes.

In everyone's eyes, the show is over. Including the cast.

But he doesn't see it that way, compared to the death of a show, he knows that this is his chance.

A chance to become the protagonist from a deputy, a chance to really cooperate with Yoo Jae-seok in the variety show mountain range, and an opportunity to give full play to the talent in his chest.

This kind of opportunity. Throughout his life, not too much.

However, this is both an opportunity and an adventure. Since it's an adventure. There will definitely be risks. Not a little, but big, big one can't afford it.

The excellent deputy experience in several variety shows and the praise of several main PDs have made the leaders of the variety show bureau notice his talent, as long as he accumulates qualifications. Promotion is inevitable.

If you insist on doing this show, once it fails, the originally bright future will be gone.

But he did it anyway.

After applying and handing over the plan, he officially took over this outdoor variety show.

And change the name for unlimited challenges. Infinite challenges.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Sitting on the sidelines, Kim Tae-ho carefully watched the development on the field, and his mind was constantly running.

At his insistence, Wujian adhered to a completely true point of view, and released all the things he shot without cutting it "with one knife". Because of this, every shooting is a test of the production team's brainpower.

Propose a theme and let the MC and regular guests play freely. It's not easy to be able to predict where things will go, but to give the right guidance.

Although it is said that after these episodes of broadcasting, the ratings have increased, but it is far from the point where it can be relaxed. Infinite Challenge is still a show that can be dropped off at any time.

Similarly, in Kim Tae-ho's eyes, there are at least five of the seven people on the field, who are using their brains with all their might to make as much weight as possible.

Liu Zaishi naturally needless to say, as the most responsible MC he has ever seen, while creating laughter, he connected the whole show.

Park Myung-so, although he looks loose, also firmly grasps his position and scolds people fiercely. is also working hard to follow the burden thrown by Liu Zaishi, and from time to time he will say jokes that have been brewing for a long time.

Roh Hong-chul, although he is not a professional gagman, has already made Kim Tae-ho quite satisfied with his performance. Maybe it's because there aren't many programs in hand, so I'm recording with special care.

Although it looks confusing, it catches the positioning just right. Moreover, the ability to make laughter has also improved greatly. Doing a show with Liu Zaishi is really studying very hard.

As for HAHA, it's barely passing. Didn't perform as well as in X-MAN, and didn't take it that seriously.

The other two failed.

The big fat Zheng Junhe is not in a state at all, just waiting for Liu Zaishi to take him, just thinking about being a green leaf. The positioning is obvious, but the performance is always not struggling.

And Chubby Zheng Hengdun, on the contrary, is very serious, but because he has not found his position, he is often doing useless work.

Having said all that, that's only six people. How could there be seven people?

That's naturally because, of course, there is another person. Today's guest, Wu Zairong.

Because he is an idol, in the show, Wu Zairong has no way to grasp the essence of variety shows, make that kind of fierce reaction, or deliberately sacrifice his image, especially when the company's positioning for him is not allowed.

In appearance, he is too handsome, and treasures like Park Myung-so and Jung Jun-ha are the looks that variety shows really need. The physical fitness is also very good, and there is no way to reflect too much physical gag.

But this does not mean that Wu Zairong is not doing well, or is not doing it seriously.

On the contrary, Wu Jae-young is no worse than a professional gagman.

In other respects, it may be far inferior. But when it comes to language, it's far beyond that.

Although he has no professional accumulation, Wu Zairong can still throw out the stalk that goes around the itch at the most appropriate time. The cooperation with Liu Zaishi is even more tacit, and the interaction between the two people is already at the level of a talk show.

Wu Zairong came to this show, not once or twice. The period of unconspiracy challenge came once. During the period of unreasonable challenge of the revision, because of righteous anger, it also came twice.

Because of this, Kim Tae-ho understands the great progress of Oh Jae-young. From a variety show rookie to a pretty good regular guest, no, maybe it's an MC.

The perfect variety show rough stone. Kim Tae-ho's evaluation of Oh Jae-young, this is the only one.

If Wu Zairong can be fixed for a period of time, it will definitely be of great benefit to the development of infinite challenges. Wu Zairong's popularity can bring a lot of attention, and his ability can also bring something new to a relatively fixed team.

It's not a permanent fix, because it's not the same as I envisioned it. Wu Zairong's current positioning is too complete and not broken. The idea is to let everyone except for age, who is below the Korean average, challenge all kinds of seemingly impossible tasks.

But that's just a thought.

Infinite challenge, after all, is just a variety show that is still struggling on the line of life and death.

If it weren't for Wu Zairong taking the initiative to contact the production team, the show wouldn't even be qualified to invite the other party to participate. After all, putting aside the general trend, in the case of RAIN's transformation into an actor, Kim Jong Kook's enlistment in the army, and the retirement of old-timers from all walks of life, Oh Jae-young is the strongest male solo at this stage.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Filming the intermission of the show. A few people stayed in the lounge.

Wu Zairong patted Liu Zaishi's arm and motioned for him to go out with him, he had something to say.

"Brother, is that Kim Tae-ho PD really reliable?" It's really not what he said, Kim Tae-ho PD, who is now taking over the show, has no experience in directing any program at all.

To say that other shows are okay, after all, there will be no shortage of geniuses in this world. Even if you don't have experience, just make up for it with your talent.

However, this show has already failed once. In addition, in the defeat time, Kim Tae-ho is not an innocent bystander, he is also a PD, although not the main PD. Lack of confidence, of course.

Although Liu Zaishi has created X-MAN's ratings miracle now, there are ace indoor variety shows such as "Come Play" and "happytogether". But failing three times in a row on a variety show is also a big blow to Liu Jae-seok's fame.

"I believe Tae-ho." Of course, it's not without reason, "Before the revision, he approached me and told me about the model of the show. ”

"And then?"

"I had already given up, but when he said that, I thought I could try again." Indoor variety shows have developed to a bottleneck, and Liu Zaishi knows that the decline of X-MAN proves this.

This bottleneck cannot be easily broken in a short period of time.

If you want to continue to develop, you can only turn to outdoor variety shows. And Kim Tae-ho's plan really moved him.

Since Brother Zai Shi had already said so, Wu Zairong couldn't say anything more. Let's do a good job of today's show first, come and be a guest, at least you have to earn enough weight. (To be continued.) )

PS: PS (The exam is going to be tomorrow, the second middle school is so waveful, is it really good?) ）
