draws on the setting of "Journey to the West". For example, in the fourth season, Ahn Jaehyun is Master Sanzang and is responsible for managing the members' pocket money; Yin Zhiyuan is Monkey King, who needs to wear a Saya headgear and a low-frequency painful massage Jiang Hudong is a Zhu Bajie, and he has not eaten pork throughout. The content layout of
refers to the Japanese manga "Dragon Ball" and adopts the game clearance mode. Members must complete various tasks in the travel area and gather seven dragon balls to realize their final wishes. The main line of
's fifth season has not changed, but the theme is designed as a cool special: Walk with ghosts and gods.

It can be said that the series has maintained a high rating on Douban. What is the highlight of the show? What is its charm to attract the audience? Today Lengyan will talk about this show.
Changes and unchanged in the new season
The first issue of
continues the opening introduction of Li Xiugen's "Fake Cantonese". Audiences who have watched the previous seasons will understand that the opening voiceover is Li Xiugen's language stalk. He speaks Korean in Cantonese intonation, interspersed with a few Chinese sentences from time to time to explain the content of this season. The protagonist of
is the Myohan family. For example, this season tells the story of Kyuhyun's enlistment from Myohan's perspective, new members joining, and a new journey.
followed by the Luo PD gathering of characters. Whether it is "Three Hours, Three Meals", "Yin Canteen" or "Grandpa Over Flowers" series, Luo PD is used to editing the members' meeting and dinner scenes into the first issue of the feature film, and the "New Journey to the West" series is no exception. In the fifth season of
, the original members arrived one after the other. Jiang Hudong and Li Xiugen joked with the menu. When the discordant content appeared, they switched decisively in the later stage. The familiar Miaohan screen adjustment and the call of the National Human Rights Commission appeared, which formed a joke and continued. The style of the previous four seasons.
The first dinner settlement of the fifth season was undertaken by Yin Zhiyuan personally. The subtitles were accompanied by "Reference to Journey to the West Episode 10", which cleverly grafted the brand and content. The first episode of
has one thing that remains unchanged before the trip. The theme of the fifth season is the special edition of enjoying the cool air, which opened the travel story with various ghosts and gods. The program group focused on 6 characters and costumes.
This season's role-setting task is launched with a comprehensive evaluation game of Korean variety entertainers. Members have to guess the song title. It should be said that in the past few seasons of the show, quiz is one of the most frequent games, but Luo PD is good at innovating conventional games.
For example, in the first installment, although the game of guessing the song title is not unfamiliar, the answering opportunity is also designed as a question-and-answer mode. Only by answering the previous common sense questions can the real song title be answered.
For example, in the fourth season, the role of Song Minhao as "Kobayashi" was decided by a table tennis match, and then the winner was decided by Jiang Hudong's buffet order and a points game mode where the names of the members were called.
Finally, the members finalized the roles and completed the costumes. The first quarter edited the first games of "Ghosts" with the last quarter of the paragraph. The winner Lee Soo-geun exchanged 300,000 won for the opportunity to win Dragon Ball. The work is over, and the travel story officially begins.
It should be said that "New Journey to the West 5" changes the character setting, but the program mode does not change. The Miaohan family, which has been silent for a year, has started again.
logical core: self-entertainment of a group of variety artists
The members of the first season of "New Journey to the West" are all from "Two Days and One Night". Jiang Hudong and Li Xiugen are facing public opinion pressure due to tax evasion and gambling scandals, and the audience is in urgent need to show a new look. Accept them again. Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha in the masterpiece "Journey to the West" also made mistakes and were demoted in the Heavenly Court. They were saved by protecting Tang Seng Xitian from learning the scriptures. The original intention of the program was to allow the members to complete the "practice" experience.
However, the most interesting part of the "New Journey to the West" series is not the members’ travels, but the various mini-games designed in it. The program team has developed the diversity of indoor games to the greatest extent and grasped the variety show. The logical core for people to entertain themselves.
Whether it is wake up games, quick quizzes, room escapes, orientation tests, zombie games, etc., it is constantly updated and iterated. The production team has set the framework, and Luo PD is better at impromptu additions.
allows members to play games improvisationally, improvising promises, and the direction of the show is often unexpected. For example, the activity of Song Shenzhi in the fourth season led to the birth of "Jiang Shitang" and "Youth over Flowers-Winner". The director and the members bet that the filming is over when the filming is over, and sometimes even the camera can be filmed with only iPhone and Samsung. , To maximize the sense of loss of control in the reality show. In addition to
, there are creative supplements from variety artists. For example, the members were waiting in the waiting room before the start of the first sports meeting. Li Xiugen suggested that since everyone is now a ghost, they can no longer say the word "death". Yin Zhiyuan immediately took it. Anyone who says a forbidden language will deduct points. , And finally Jiang Hudong was caught accidentally.
enters the next sports meeting, these people still do not play cards according to common sense, the original serious players greet, in a blink of an eye, it turned into a circular handshake meeting.
It should be said that star outdoor travel reality shows have been popular for many years, and various themes have been explored to the limit by creators. Luo PD still chooses to make a fuss on this basis by improvisation. He firmly grasped the logical core of the show, let a group of variety entertainers entertain themselves within the big framework, and added bets one after another on improvisation, creating one after another.
