Korean Entertainment's Unlucky God System

Chapter 4 "Running Man"

The first sentence at the beginning is "Large-scale outdoor variety show "Running Man"".

The second sentence is: "Elements: unchanged core + multi-camera shooting + funny host + idols + ambiguity between idols + script + levels based on local materials + unexpectedness."

It's just the second sentence that deeply attracted Liu Zaishi. You must know that although Korean variety shows are blooming, they are definitely among the best in Asia and even the world.

Although it is said that outdoor variety shows have not yet appeared, Lin Cuo can be sure that someone has definitely mentioned this aspect of the plan.

There are only a few categories of variety shows, such as competitive, singing and dancing, talking, emotional, dating, reality shows, etc.

Competitive variety shows are relatively popular variety shows in South Korea, and they have always occupied a certain position in South Korea, especially baseball, football and other programs.However, competitive sports also have limitations. After all, South Korea is so big and has a small population. Having a certain status in the country does not mean that it can be as popular abroad. For example, in China, football is fine, but when it comes to baseball, , I believe that 90.00% of Chinese people have absolutely no love for baseball.

Emotional and dating programs have developed to a high level, and they are already a bottleneck that cannot be broken through. Therefore, these two types of programs in South Korea have always continued the previous programs, and they are in a state of not paying attention and not giving up.The best of these two categories belongs to "We Got Married", but from the ratings of this program, it can be seen that the Korean people have already experienced aesthetic fatigue for these two programs.The guarantee of the ratings of "We Got Married" is mainly due to the participating idol star couples.Now the participating guests of "We Got Married" are all young idoi, if there are a few more pairs like Taeyeon and Zheng Xingdun, then this show will come to an end.

Nowadays, the mainstream of Korean variety shows are talk, singing and dancing, and reality shows. Talk shows are actually the most suspenseful because the topics are endless, especially in the Korean entertainment industry.

Singing and dancing are also quite good, but everyone knows the audience size, and those over 40 years old absolutely have no love for this kind of program.

The last is the reality show. In the previous life, the reality show was divided into indoor reality show and outdoor reality show.Indoor reality shows were eliminated as early as a few years ago, and outdoor reality shows were in full bloom in [-]. Hundreds of outdoor reality shows in different styles from various countries will blind your titanium alloy dog ​​eyes every minute. Among them, some big-name stars who have never participated in variety shows since their debut decades have also shown their variety show debuts. It can be said that at this time, outdoor reality shows are definitely the most yearned-for holy places in the entertainment industry.

In this life, the outdoor reality show is still in its infancy. Some people mention it, but no one produces it. After all, failure is not so easy even for the three major TV stations.

The only show you'll ever see with an outdoor reality show is Love Letters.There was a special episode of this show, which was held outdoors, but the results did not achieve any good results. The ratings did not increase but decreased year-on-year. This may be the reason why the Korean variety show industry does not touch the outdoors.

Liu Zaishi was very serious when he saw it, there were only four pages, and Lin Cuo's handwriting was a bit big, and it didn't take long to read it, which fully demonstrated Liu Zaishi's interest in this plan.

Seeing Liu Zaishi like this, Lin Cuo was also relieved in his heart.

On the surface, Lin Cuo is very confident.But in fact, self-confidence has never been a thing in the past few decades.

It cannot be said that nothing can be achieved, but self-confidence comes from the little things in life. Taking Lin Cuo's experience of more than 20 years, he really can't gather much confidence.

If Liu Jae-shik has no interest in his plan, then his desire to visit the Korean entertainment industry will basically not be fulfilled.

Without good looks, he has basically lost his career in the music and acting circles and can only be a comedian.As for writing songs or being a producer, that's just a joke again.

No reputation, no connections, and good works are useless.

Lin Cuo leaned on the sofa comfortably, and casually looked at Quan Lie's home. It could be seen that Quan Lie's wife was definitely a good manager of the house.

After a long time, Liu Zaishi finally read the plan, took off his eyes, rubbed his eyes with pantothenic acid, and couldn't see any emotion.

"I have seen your plan," Liu Zaishi said with a flat expression.

Lin Cuo showed a look of understanding, nodded, and did not speak. He believed that the plan would not be wrong.

Seeing that Lin Cuo had nothing extra to say, Liu Zaishi didn't understand Lin Cuo's attitude. Although it was only a framework, Liu Dashen's professional vision could see the brilliant aspects of this plan.

"The plan of Lin Cuoxi is just an outline, do you have a complete plan?"

At this point, Lin Cuo understands that if he speaks well, there is basically no problem. As for the auditing of the TV station, I believe that with Liu Dashen's energy, it should not be a big problem.

"Yes, but I want to say in advance that this plan is just a plan. There is nothing brilliant about it. The real core is still in people. If the MC personnel can't play the connotation of this plan, Then the "Running Man" project will not succeed."

"Oh~~, how do you say this?" Liu Zaishi asked in a long voice, interested.

"It was very clear in my plan just now, so I won't say more."

"Then let me tell you something else."

"Brother Shi is an MC, or to put it more directly, a comedian. You don't object, right?"

Liu Zaishi nodded in agreement.

"Then, to put it bluntly, a comedian is a funny existence, and what must be given up is dignity."

"Although there are many such people in the variety show industry, their dignity is not completely abandoned. Why do I say this? There are two main points. First, among the current MCs, the basic popular trend is just some spoof language. The highlight is to capture a laughing point and then magnify it infinitely. The second point is that during the MC host, or the participating guests do some simple and funny actions to attract the attention of the audience."

"It is undeniable that as long as an entertaining variety show can perfectly display these two points, then the program will have a certain existence value. However, the current variety show circle basically revolves around three points, language, action and participation. The popularity of guests is used to attract audiences. Therefore, there are certain restrictions on the guests of the program. Non-popular artists cannot increase the ratings. In contrast, popular artists no longer need to participate in various performances to maintain their exposure, especially Movie star."

"I believe that even the three major TV stations cannot invite popular artists to participate in the program every time. This has resulted in the current situation. The ratings can increase or decrease slightly, but not by much. no significant effect."

"'Running Man' is different, it's about the fun of the body, the events and the fun of the game."

"Using the body to make funny is actually the same as the conventional funny moves. But it is out of it. This is what I mean by not giving up enough self-esteem."

"The funny event is actually simpler, and it is also the biggest highlight in "Running Man". For example, some events occurred during the running process, which caused some obstacles to change. For example, falling, and then the multi-camera camera will fall The facial expressions and exaggerated movements of the fallen people are infinitely slowed down. This scene will be an ugly and funny clip.”

"Betrayal, during the recording of the program, there may be group confrontations. Here, one or several betrayers are needed to appear. It is the kind of betrayal without warning and integrity. This image will continue forever and will become a very important part of the program. Good joke."

"However, relatively speaking, this kind of person is the most difficult to find. They must have a certain appearance and a good affinity, so that the audience will not feel disgusted when they see it."

"As for the fun brought by the game, I have been an MC in Brother Shi for so many years, so I believe I don't need to explain more."

"Lin Cuoxi is talking about the desire to win the game, right?" Liu Zaishi suddenly realized.

After Lin Cuo's simple explanation, he also understood the value of "Running Man".Many stars participating in the show will indeed show a normal desire to win in order to win, which is a good point to watch.

"Is Lin Cuoxi really Chinese? I feel like I know more about Korea than Koreans, hahaha!!!!"

From Liu Zaishi's laughter, it can be heard that he is very happy and excited.Since Lin Cuo handed over the "Running Man" plan to him, it is obvious that if this plan can be implemented, his MC position will definitely not be able to escape.

"I don't know if Lin Cuoxi already has an MC candidate?" Liu Zaishi is very excited. Now he does have the title of Liu Tianwang, but once his current two shows are cancelled, the next show he hosts will not be popular again. , then he may be lost in the most competitive Korean entertainment industry.

"Hehe!" Lin Cuo smiled, "I have someone to choose, but let's not talk about whether this plan can be implemented, the TV station probably won't let me choose the host."

Liu Zaishi smiled awkwardly, it was true, even he himself didn't have the energy.

"But I only have one request. I want to participate in this plan and be the MC in it, otherwise I won't give you the complete plan," Lin Cuo said seriously, putting away the smile on his face.

Liu Zaishi was even more embarrassed. Since he became famous, he has been hosting the show as the main MC. Hearing what Lin Cuo said, he thought that Lin Cuo was going to be the main MC.

After Lin Cuo finished speaking, he reacted instantly.

"Brother Shi, I actually think that the position of main MC of "Running Man" belongs to you. In my plan, you will be the one who controls the whole show. If I participate in the show, I should participate as the maknae. , I don’t have the energy to host a show.”

Liu Zaishi also heard the steps that Lin Cuo gave him, and couldn't help but feel a little better about Lin Cuo.

Originally, Liu Zaishi came here to have a drink with Quan Lie, but in the end he left in a hurry without drinking any wine. Those few pieces of paper left with high confidence.
