Have you ever heard of such a variety show?
html It takes 21 seconds to decide whether to make a variety show. Just because the director lost the bet, the entire production team had to make a new plan.
This is the accidental birth of winner of " Youth Over Flowers ".
The results are not surprising, the Youth Over Flowers series has always maintained a high score of more than 9 points. This series of slow variety shows was created by the famous Korean variety show director Na PD ( Na Young-seok ).
The variety shows he has hosted include " Grandpas Over Flowers ", "Sisters Over Flowers", "Youth Over Flowers", " Three Meals a Day ", "New Journey to the West", " Newlywed Diary ", " Yin" "Canteen ", " Jiang Canteen ", etc., is all about slow variety shows, and has never dropped 9 points on Douban.
Opposite to the fast variety show that focuses on competition, it is the slow variety show that has no game competition, simple rules, and pays attention to emotions.
Although watching slow variety shows at first will release people's soul, after the initial freshness, slow variety shows can easily make the audience feel dull and boring.
Danluo PD's slow variety show series, cleverly combines leisurely life with entertainment attributes , even if there is no tight and tense link setting, it can still be watched with relish.
Next, I will take the winner chapter of "Youth Over Flowers" as an example to explain how the Luo PD production team grasped this degree to achieve a win for all three parties: the guests, the producer, and the audience.
1. Guests enjoy the show: The dissolution of celebrity status allows artists to become ordinary people
The "Youth Over Flowers" series is a backpacking travel variety show on South Korea's tvN TV station. The "winner chapter" broadcast in 2017 was produced by Four members of the Korean boy band Winner were guests and embarked on a trip in Australia.
has no story, no script, and is a purely recorded slow variety show format that keeps the show real. The program group eliminates the artist's star status and narrows the distance between the artist and ordinary people by allowing the artist to play freely and make decisions freely.
. Do not avoid conflicts and show the true character of the characters.
The program team provides a relaxed environment and does not require advancement, allowing them to unconsciously express themselves during their travels.
artists can put down their busy work to travel, can relax and they can finally return to their twenties and show their true appearance as big boys.
Among them, there is the financial director and captain Kang Seung-yun , the conciliatory brother Jin Qinyu, the artistic talent Song Minho , and the cook and driver Li Seung-hun.
Just like all big boys, even though they have lived together for 5 years, there are still inevitable quarrels among them, because of financial constraints, quarrels over whether to buy 2 Australian dollars of corn, and quarrels over a pair of women's jeans. Heart.
They let go of themselves before the show, which actually made the show better. The program team is interested in the youthfulness of the teenagers, and does not want them to pretend to be mature before the program.
Their heartfelt emotions infected the audience, and the aloof artists were enjoying the gifts of nature like children at this moment. The four of them are just like the theme of Youth Over Flowers, enjoying traveling, cherishing friendship, and spreading happiness.
They ordered too many dishes due to poor English
. The tacit understanding and sense of talent between the characters added entertainment to the show
- If there is too much sugar, just give it to the maknae who loves sweets in the group.
- Song Minho loves art, and even if he doesnât understand it, the members are willing to accompany him around the art museum.
- Jin Qinyu missed the opportunity to skydive last time. No matter how expensive it was, the members had to make up for his big brother's wish. The tacit understanding among the members of
reduces unnecessary conflicts and adds more fun to this journey.
Watching their mutual help and coordination in life, as well as the safe teasing that only acquaintances can have, allow the artists to "relax" in the show, while also adding more highlights to the show.
However, there is another very important requirement for guest selection - a sense of artistic ability, in order to increase the entertainment of the program.
Many Korean artists have a sense of talent. At least they are not shy and can be very open in front of the camera. This is inseparable from Korea's trainee system.
The joy after finally being able to drive
Take winnerâs YG as an example. YG attaches great importance to the artistry of its artists.
In addition to daily training in singing, dancing and physical fitness, the company also focuses on artist-related training for the target market. One of the important links is to cultivate a sense of artistic ability.
The artists sing and dance at any time, and even do virtual radio stations and sitcoms as they say. Even if their English is not good, they take the initiative to compete with them.
also joked after losing the competition, "We are called winners, but we are losers."
This really makes people put aside the stress of funds and the lack of daily necessities. completely focuses on the characters themselves, rather than being stimulated by the conflicts and conflicts deliberately created by the program team.
's tacit understanding and sense of talent make this variety show more interesting. While they laugh, we also laugh along with them.
So itâs enough for the members to have fun during this journey. We also hope to see the true side of the artists through slow variety shows.
Song Minhao gets a new hat, and the game character is possessed.
promotes development through the free choice of characters, and enhances entertainment through the characteristics of the characters themselves. The program team gave the artists enough freedom, and the artists also made good use of the freedom given by the program team. .
put aside the heavy work and cruel competition in the circle, and simply enjoyed allowing them to give full play to their personalities. Even the friendship between them reminded the audience of their own good buddies and good sisters. What a blessing it is to travel without any burden, which makes people have wonderful visions.
2. The middleman who pleases both parties: the staff has moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, which not only strengthens reality but also pays attention to emotions.
The producer with the most appearances in variety shows can be said to be Luo PD.
often helps out during the official program, and even eats and drinks with the guests. He even reveals the behind-the-scenes planning process, allowing the audience to see the efforts of the workers behind the program.
's slow variety show that focuses on emotions has been infinitely magnified in the hands of PD Luo, who has expanded his sights to the entire production team, and the sense of reality is vividly displayed on the page.
. The program team carefully planned and organized "kidnapping"
In the "Youth Over Flowers" series, PD Luo will always "kidnap" guests to the recording location to record the program without knowing it.
comes from the African chapter of "Youth Over Flowers"
But this time Song Minho got it after he played a game in "New Journey to the West" and collected 7 dragon balls to make a wish.
Therefore, everyone in Winner knows that he will be "kidnapped" at any time, and is always prepared. All members of
must tidy up their appearance whenever they go out, and they must look good even if they are kidnapped. They have been waiting for PD Luo to kidnap them.
However, PD Luo also prepared for this for two months, discussing with netizens "How can kidnap people who know they will be kidnapped? ", and finally, after spending manpower and material resources, they chose to shoot advertisements.
During this process, we mobilized Winnerâs advertising team and agent, hired a real director, rented a venue, borrowed props, and hired professionals to draw storyboards.
even communicated well with the director of the TV series Captain Kang Seung-yoon was filming (" witty prison life ") and lied to him that there would be filming to relax their vigilance.
(The prison uniforms were also specially designed to help promote "Witsful Prison Life")
Sure enough, after twists and turns, they were finally successfully kidnapped directly to the airport penniless, and their carefully packed small bags were ruthlessly released by the agent. To the dormitory.
This game makes people laugh out loud. is no longer a performance performed by the producers and guests, but everyone fights hard and uses all their strength to fight against the clever "enemy" .
This form puts more emphasis on "truth", turning the people behind the scenes to the front to tell the difficult process of "kidnapping". also makes the audience feel more involved . When PD Luo was about to "kidnap" successfully, the barrage also sighed, "I'm so nervous too."
When variety shows have no fixed number and their development is uncontrolled, what we see is the reality that everyone unconsciously shows. This kind of reality is exactly what slow variety shows need.
The big rules set by the program group stimulated everyone's potential, which not only ensured the general direction of the program, but also ensured the guests' free play. finally created unexpected sparks and surprises.
. Post-stage complaints and special effects make up for the lack of entertainment in slow variety shows
In addition to the guestsâ sense of talent, there are also precise complaints from the program crew in the later stages, such as comparing the happy children going skydiving to prisoners who have just been released from prison, such as Lee Seung-hoon. Dance while cooking, and the message on the screen is "Dance to make the food delicious."
The program team also made a lot of special effects and stickers to make the whole picture look warm and interesting, enlivening the atmosphere of the picture and amplifying the inner activities of the artists.
These complaints are like barrages on the screen. They are accurate and funny. captures the character's language behavior characteristics and combines the character's past experience. It not only adds entertainment but also enriches the character's image, allowing the audience to not only see real people. , and you can also feel the operation of the post-production team behind the scenes.
In these programs, the audience sees a group of lovely people. guests come to create various attractions, and what the production team has to do is to capture the fun, happiness and emotion of the guests. The
production team has set a big tone for the program. is an auxiliary to the program rather than leading . While giving tasks to the guests, they also voluntarily spend money to buy some clothes for the children who want to save money.
The slow variety show not only featured guests, but also the production staff were pulled in front of the camera, conveying that "the world inside the screen is the real world", which made the show more real and humane.
3. The guarantee of the program to the audience: while healing the soul, it also conveys universal values ââ
. The variety show is in line with reality and conveys "I can live such a life."
PD Luo once said, why is the travel destination not in Europe? Instead of choosing other places such as Africa and Laos, I want to convey to the audience the concept of "I can live such a life".
and the setting of financial limits, in addition to making things difficult for guests and creating conflicts, also want to tell us that traveling on a budget can also provide a good travel experience, and it has a unique flavor.
From these two points, we can see that Luo PD pays more attention to the travel itself and the people who travel with him. , and through the exploration of the beautiful scenery of the world, he also provides the audience with many places worth visiting. While
ensures that the show is entertaining, he is also good at using different lenses to capture local beauty and show off cute local animals, so much so that he is ridiculed by netizens as a "Luo girl".
Under his lens, every picture is a healing picture that can arouse our yearning for pure nature.
This also ensures the unique healing system of slow variety shows, allowing the audience to be amused by interesting souls and healed by the beautiful environment, achieving the dual effect of relaxing in a stressful society.
. It is not only an emotional release, but also spiritual growth.
Quarreling can also enhance the relationship between teammates. Playing again and again reflects the unity between teammates. Relaxing and returning to tranquility from the high-pressure entertainment circle also makes people express their infinite emotions.
When we receive the happiness factor from them and laugh, and when we release our emotions, we can also see the small insights that the winner brings to us.
After the skydiving, Song Minhao had this deep emotion:
"In the dire straits of Korean society, people are very tired. But through a very stimulating activity like skydiving, all the emotions accumulated in the heart can be released."
Contact the brutal competition before the winnerâs debut, which makes me feel even more sorry for these children and admire them even more.
In this variety show, allowed us to see the hearts of the artists who are eager to be released, and also found that the big boy and the little happy in the group finished recording this variety show while having fun, but the starting point of this variety show is that they have worked hard to stand up. At the top.
The intense plot setting and hilarious gameplay aspects of the fast variety show make people forget the troubles of life while laughing.
The slow variety show does not avoid the pain of life, but still faces it with a smile, and actively discovers the small blessings of life.
is written at the end:
What goes against slow variety shows are advertisements with a commercial nature.
South Korea's advertising law clearly stipulates that "very conspicuous brand logos cannot be displayed in programs, and severe fines will be imposed." This not only ensures advertisers' investment in variety shows, but also ensures the audience's perception.
The "Youth Over Flowers" series not only allows guests to enjoy themselves, but also makes the audience look forward to updates, which proves that the production team operates well in the middle.
Luo PD also said:
Variety shows usually involve playing games, or have missions that require physical performance, etc. However, if guests are worried about their performance.
I usually tell them: " you just need to come and participate. You don't have to do anything. It doesn't matter if your speech is not funny or you don't have a variety show feel. Just show your natural side. "
Then they will compare Feel free to come and participate.
Luo PDâs trust in the guests and his excellent business ability are excellent basis for the audience to recognize and form their faith.
also hopes that the domestic slow variety show environment will become more and more complete, the production model will become more mature, and more such outstanding production talents will be born.
