Zhou Sheng, the director of "Happy Camp", has been considering upgrading the script a long time ago.
At present, the variety shows of all major satellite TV stations are similar. In comparison, "Happy Camp" has no essential difference. The only difference is that the ratings of Xiangnan Satellite TV are much higher than those of other stations. This is also due to the Based on the historical accumulation of the era of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", if it were not for the high ratings, "Happy Camp" would not have attracted all kinds of stars. With the resources of first-line stars, "Happy Camp" has gained again in ratings. Further improvement is the basis for the real success of "Happy Camp".
If we put aside the aura of Hunan Satellite TV and those celebrities, what other advantages does "Happy Camp" have? Zhou Sheng couldn't tell.
Although the host lineup of "Happy Camp" is relatively strong, and the new star Chen Wan is about to join, but to be honest, the original hosts actually became popular on Hunan Satellite TV, and they joined this program. Previously, they themselves did not have much market influence.
In the final analysis, everything stems from the strong viewing resources of Hunan Satellite TV, so "Happy Camp" can go smoothly. However, in terms of program content alone, Zhou Sheng has always found it to be bland. In terms of the fun of the program format, , is not even as good as "Super Winner" in Hui Province. If the ratings resources of Xiangnan Satellite TV are the same as those in Hui Province, then "Happy Camp" will definitely not reach the height of "Super Winner".
Zhou Sheng has always wanted to change this embarrassing situation. Hunan Satellite TV is the number one satellite TV in the country. He also wants to make the number one variety show in the country. However, the core content of a variety show is not so easy to replace or upgrade. If you are not careful, you may ruin the program.
Now the overall model of "Happy Camp" has been solidified. Under normal circumstances, it works together with stars, crew, and brokerage companies. For example, when a new drama is about to be broadcast, the producer coordinates the Kuaiben program team and arranges for the leading actors to come and do it. A program, if it's a movie star, is usually here to promote a new movie; if it's a singer, then most likely it's here to promote a new album or a concert. Occasionally, it's good to watch one or two episodes, but it becomes boring after watching too much. .
Zhou Sheng feels that the current "Happy Camp" is in urgent need of a new and eye-catching model. This model does not necessarily have to replace the entire program process, even if it only replaces one of them, it can It has unexpected effects.
In fact, Zhou Sheng's thinking is very professional. No matter now or in the future, for variety shows, the core highlights are a crucial part. The most crucial part of why Running Man is so popular is the link of tearing off famous brands. Without this segment, the effect of the entire program will be greatly reduced; the key core point of Good Voice lies in the setting of the blind audition swivel chair. It is this extraordinary audition model that makes it stand out from all kinds of talent shows.
However, good models are easy to say, but too difficult to explore. During this period, Zhou Sheng and the program team thought of at least a dozen new models, but in the end they were all shot down without exception.
After more than a dozen new plans failed, Zhou Sheng began to look for breakthroughs in other areas. This was also the fundamental reason why he took the initiative to find Chen Wan, a pure newcomer in the field of hosting. The old model has been maintained mechanically. When the mode cannot be changed, the only choice is to find a completely different new face to break the situation.
Just when Zhou Sheng had been searching for a new mode, Chen Wan suddenly found him during lunch break and said to him: "Director Zhou, a friend of mine told me about a party game mode. I think It is very suitable to be included in our program as a new link in the program. I would like to ask if you are interested in learning about it."
"Okay," Zhou Sheng put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Just tell me and I'll listen."
Chen Wan said: "This game is relatively interactive. I will briefly explain how to play it. If you think it is good, we can find some colleagues to try it out."
Zhou Sheng nodded, crossed his fingers on the table, and looked like he was listening carefully.
Chen Wan explained the process of "Who is the Undercover" to him in detail? After Li Mu told Chen Wan the specific game process on the phone last night, he was afraid that she would not understand it thoroughly, so he wrote a very detailed one for her. The game instructions were sent to her email. In the morning, Chen Wan carefully read the instructions sent by Li Mu several times. After thorough research, she came to communicate with Zhou Sheng. Therefore, although she has not experienced this game personally, she has Know the rules of the game by heart.
Zhou Sheng has been doing variety shows for many years and has an innate keen sense of content in this area. He is like a senior antique appraisal expert. When he sees a good thing, although it is impossible to see through the essence at a glance, he can simply take a look. , you can know whether something is good or not.
The game rules of "Who is Undercover" are not difficult. It is nothing more than two camps, two different but very similar words, and then defeat your opponent through intense and wonderful reasoning, brain-burning and psychological warfare.
After Zhou Sheng listened for a while, his eyes lit up. With his many years of experience, his first feeling was: Something is wrong!
It really works!
Those who have never played a killing game will find this thing very boring. A bunch of people sit there with nothing, just talking with their mouths. It is absurd and boring. But after you really come into contact with it and play it, you will understand the value of it. The gameplay is very powerful, and the test of IQ, eloquence and psychological quality is very comprehensive and thrilling.
"Who's the Undercover" is a similar game to it, so Zhou Sheng became very interested after hearing about it.
In order to allow himself to more deeply outline the rules and effects of this game in his mind, Zhou Sheng closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and couldn't help but said to Chen Wan: "Xiao Wan, you say it again, I will close my eyes and think about it carefully. Think about it.”
Chen Wan nodded and explained the rules of the game again from the beginning.
Zhou Sheng hadn't completely finished listening this time, and a look of surprise already appeared on his face. After Chen Wan finished speaking, he opened his eyes and said excitedly: "The idea of this game is so great. The person who came up with this game is simply amazing." What a genius! The game process is tense and interesting, and it is also very topical, especially the word selection. We can completely customize it. If we are going to make a martial arts-related program, then we can use These two words are the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon and the White Bone Claws of the Nine Yin; if we are going to make a film and television show, we can play the game with the names of the film and television series, or even the names of the two leading actors, the scope of operation is very wide!"
After saying that, Zhou Sheng stood up impatiently and said to Chen Wan: "Xiao Wan, you eat first, I will organize people and coordinate a large conference room. Let's try this game in the conference room in the afternoon. If there is no problem with this game, you have really made a great contribution to our "Happy Camp"!"
Chen Wan didn't expect Zhou Sheng's reaction to be so strong, and he would leave before finishing the meal. She nodded, and before she could speak, Zhou Sheng could no longer hold back and left.
Chen Wan had just finished her meal when Zhou Sheng called: "Xiao Wan, come to the big conference room No. 3. I have organized colleagues from our crew to come over and study together. You will host it!"
"Okay, Director Zhou, I'll be here right away." Chen Wan had no choice but to get up and rush to the big conference room No. 3. As soon as she arrived at the conference room, more than 20 people from the program team who usually worked there were all here. Zhou Sheng was directing people to organize the meeting. The table moved to the side, leaving only eight seats, and then he called by name: "Liu Ming, Chen Yihui, Gao Hanhan, Su Xiaoxiao... You guys have more flexible minds. Let Xiaowan take you to try it out later." Once I try out a new game, others will join me in the front as an audience to get a feel for the viewing experience of this game.”
Chen Wan did not expect that he would create such a big battle. Although she had never really played this game, she could only carry it on temporarily at this moment.
Zhou Sheng had just named six people, and Chen Wan had exactly seven. According to the rules of the game, he needed to draw cards first to select an undercover agent. Chen Wan asked Zhou Sheng for the playing cards he had prepared, and chose from A to 6. From these six cards, I chose a K, and then told everyone the general rules. Whoever draws the K among the seven people is an undercover agent.
Later, Chen Wan said to Zhou Sheng: "Director Zhou, you have to come up with two similar but different words later, and then give the different words to different characters, and wait until all game participants know their own words. After that, we began to take turns describing the words we just got. We should try our best not to let the undercover find out when we describe it, but also to give certain hints to our teammates. If we are undercover, we should try our best to confuse other people. , Don’t let others see through it. After the seven of us have described it one by one, everyone will start voting quickly, pointing out who is the undercover, and whoever gets the most votes will be eliminated in that round. If the undercover is eliminated, the undercover fails; if the undercover is eliminated, For others, the game continues until the undercover is found, or the undercover lasts until the last round."
After the rules were explained, everyone was eager to try it. Those who were arranged to be spectators all sat across from the seven people, waiting for the game to begin.
After everyone figured out the rules, Zhou Sheng thought of two words: steamed buns and dumplings.
Then, the game officially started, and the first undercover person was a boy. As soon as everyone started the first round, he was discovered by others because of his nervousness, and he was immediately identified.
Then the second round went on. The person who was drawn undercover still failed to maintain a good psychological quality, but was pointed out in the second round. However, when everyone pointed out the wrong person in the first round, the audience began to realize this. The fun part of the game.
Then, everyone got better and better, and there was even an undercover agent who really carried it to the end and won. In that game, everyone pointed out their mistakes one after another, which put a lot of psychological pressure on other players and made the audience really feel Here comes the excitement of this game.
Although Zhou Sheng has been working as a referee, he has always been very attentive to understand every little detail of the game. As the group of them got into the state more and more, and the more they played, the more technical content they got, and he became more and more excited. As a spectator, Or, he happened to be observing the seven people playing the game from the director's perspective at the moment. I have to say that from the director's perspective, the atmosphere was great. The people on the stage were very involved in the game, and the people in the audience were also watching. They are very fascinated. You must know that they are not ordinary viewers, they are practitioners of variety shows. It stands to reason that their vision of variety shows is much higher than that of ordinary people! If even they can play this well, the effect of the show will definitely be overwhelming.
The game lasted about an hour, and Zhou Sheng said to an assistant beside him: "Xiao Liu, go get a DV and bring a tripod."
The assistant understood and immediately ran to get a portable DV and placed it in the corner with a tripod to record the live game scene.
The screams and laughter in the conference room attracted the attention of many colleagues from other departments. Zhou Sheng ordered an assistant to guard the door. If any colleagues or leaders wanted to come in, he would say that the program team was testing a new game and it was not convenient to disturb him. , he didn’t want onlookers or leaders to come over at this time and disturb everyone’s engaged atmosphere. After the test was over, he could just show the video to the station leaders.
The assistant who was named looked very hurt and said, "Director Zhou, I want to watch it for a while longer..."
Zhou Sheng smiled and scolded: "You go and guard first, I will find someone to replace you later!"
The assistant had no choice but to nod helplessly and stand guard at the door of the conference room, explaining one by one to the leaders and colleagues who passed by and wanted to come in to see what was going on.
When the game progressed to a certain level, seven people, including Chen Wan, had become veterans of the game. When they started playing the game, they played with all kinds of thoughts. One moment they were digging holes for their opponents, and the next moment they were quietly finding one. An excellent point of difference to release information to your teammates, and exciting sessions continue one after another.
Seeing that the seven people were having so much fun, the "audiences" below who understood the rules also wanted to try it out, so the participants began to change with their colleagues who were spectators. Before they knew it, more than 20 people were happily in the conference room. I played all afternoon.
Zhou Sheng was extremely excited. He felt that the interactive mode and atmosphere of the game "I Am Undercover" were amazingly good. If the host and guests could play together on the stage, the effect would be great. Moreover, the rules of this game It’s simple, quick to get started, and addictive as soon as you play it. Before recording the program, you can teach the guests how to play it in half an hour, and you don’t have to worry about the guests not understanding it, not being able to play it, or not being willing to play it. If you come up with some more comparisons If you use interesting and interesting phrases, the program will be more effective.
Here comes the second chapter. Before the first day of September has passed, I have already been far away on the monthly voting list. I am now ranked 19th in the urban category. Although I am depressed, the outbreak is not affected. I will still be there tonight. There is an update!
