Chapter 31: The Convincing Power of a Childish Voice
"Infinite Challenge is a challenge as a topic, allowing several MCs and guests to challenge topics that ordinary people can't challenge, and use this to make a show to attract the audience's attention. ”
"I'm sure many of you here have seen the previous program plans I made, right?" Luo Junning raised his eyes and looked around, seeing that Kim Tae-ho and the four assistant people, the six assistant writers, and Liu Zai-seok and other four MCs all nodded to indicate that they had seen it, and he continued: "Do you have any opinions on the tug-of-war with scalpers, the 100 race with the train, the speed race with the human-powered boat and the excursion boat, and the artificial drainage and natural drainage competitions?"
Liu Zaishi wanted to speak, but after glancing at the young program team, he finally pressed the conversation for the time being, waiting to listen to other people's thoughts first.
The first to raise her hand was one of the two female writers among the six assistant writers, a cute girl with a baby face, Hua Meiyan, also a cute name, and said after getting Luo Junning's consent: "Junning XI, maybe my words are a little unpleasant, but in my opinion, these challenges are meaningless, and they are useless at all, can they really attract the attention of the audience?"
It's straightforward and sharp.
Luo Junning took a deep look at this girl, and found that the other five assistant writers were faintly led by this girl, and even looked at themselves with the eyes of a joke, knowing in his heart that these people were obviously from high-achieving students, but they were sent to be assistants to a little kid who had not graduated from high school, they should be very unconvinced, right?
Luo Junning didn't mind, and continued to ask, "Does anyone else have any opinions?"
Kim Tae-ho is having a headache at this time, this first episode of the show has not started filming before it has caused disharmony, can this show really go on happily?
Kim Tae-ho didn't react, and Luo Junning looked at Yoo Jae-seok again.
"There are no other questions for the time being, Junning, you can continue. Liu Zaishi said with a smile.
Luo Junning nodded, looked at Hua Meiyan, and said: "You're right, these challenges are meaningless at all, to put it nicely, it's a challenge, and to put it ugly, it's just a group of people who have nothing to find guilt when they're full." Competing with scalpers and racing with trains? Isn't it just a joke for people. ”
The faces of everyone present changed, almost everyone had no confidence in this variety show that was said to be very promising, Liu Zaishi also sighed secretly, he was originally very optimistic about Luo Junning, but now it seems that this is still a child, and he lost his mind when he was provoked by his subordinates.
Is that really the case?
Hua Meiyan looked at the big boy who stood straight and 'admitted defeat' with complicated eyes, and her heart was not as happy as she thought before.
As a top student who graduated from Chung-Ang University, Hua Meiyan has her own life plan: to enter MBC, spend four to six years to accumulate experience and contacts, and then master the production and planning of a variety show on her own, which is also her short-term goal.
However, within a few months of entering MBC, she was assigned to be an assistant writer for a freshman variety show, and the top boss was not an experienced senior writer, but a little kid who was only a sophomore in high school, which made her very dissatisfied, and felt that MBC's senior management, especially Yin Huibin, the director of the variety show department, must have had a brain convulsion, what is there to compare with this boy?
Education, age, experience, Hua Meiyan compared the same, and finally came to a conclusion: Luo Junning must have a backstage, and then use the variety show guò to mix qualifications, and even "Infinite Challenge" was made by other people on Luo Junning's head, and in the end, all the work will be handed over to them, the six assistant writers, to complete, and Luo Junning is just a mascot to take credit.
Hua Meiyan, who was born in an ordinary family, is no stranger to privileges, and knows that this is inevitable, but she is very unhappy in her heart after all, so she will embarrass Luo Junning when he asks questions, but she is only embarrassed, and she never thought about getting rid of this variety show, but I heard Luo Junning mean that there is no need to save zài in this variety show?
How does this work?!!!
Hua Meiyan has already conquered the five companions around her with her talent, if she thinks it, then she will be the real writer in charge of "Infinite Challenge", although there will be people who don't work hard, but she also wants to take this opportunity to build her own team and obtain enough qualifications, how can other variety shows have this variety show composed of newcomers more in line with their own requirements?
Luo Junning read useful information from Hua Meiyan's slightly flustered face very lightly: This is an ambitious girl.
But Luo Junning doesn't mind, although his methods and temperament are a little immature, he also knows that if he can control ambitious subordinates, it will be a good help for himself.
Retracting his gaze, Luo Junning smiled faintly: "Everyone is an insider, and they all have their own knowledge and understanding of the current variety shows, right?"
"XMAN is SBS's ambition, and although its ratings are not the highest among all the variety shows today, it is the most representative variety show. It should be the clearest in Brother Shi, right?"
Liu Zaishi nodded, "XMAN" is indeed the most important program of SBS, otherwise it would not have gathered the three best variety show MCs today, including him, and this was promised to them by the director of SBS's variety show department before the first episode was recorded.
It's just that this is MBC after all, and I can't say much about SBS.
Luo Junning continued: "The biggest attraction of XMAN is 'XMAN', everyone thinks so, right?"
Seeing everyone nodding, Luo Junning shook his head and said, "But I think the biggest attraction of XMAN now is not what it advertises, but how funny." ”
"Variety shows are programs that give people relaxation, whether it's XMAN or love letters, no matter what the theme of their promotion is, but the ultimate goal is to make the audience relaxed. In the past few months, I have watched the filming of variety shows such as XMAN and love letters up close, and in my opinion, in addition to the so-called theme of finding XMAN and finding love between artists, comedy occupies the largest proportion. ”
"The most popular thing right now is body funny, because it's the most direct and the most obvious. ”
"Infinite challenges are also the same in my philosophy, and apart from 'challenging topics that ordinary people can't challenge', being funny is the most important thing to do. ”
However, unlike ordinary body funny, the funny of infinite challenges needs to be fresh and refined, which may not be understandable for a while, but it must make people have a deep enough impression when they recall it, and it also gives people a sense of superiority from the heart, so that they will not give up because of one episode of the show, but chase it for each new laugh and for more superiority. ”
"What is fresh and refined? Tug-of-war with scalpers, and train racing, these projects are stupid, aren't they? If you all of you saw someone on TV doing such a challenge, what would you think? Would you think: Oh, there is still this person so stupid? When you mock these MCs, will you be moved and funny and have a strong sense of superiority?"
"Look, even these fools are still alive and happily, let alone us?"
In the slightly compact conference room, only Luo Junning's slightly immature voice echoed, and everyone's eyes began to change slowly, Yoo Jae-seok, Kim Tae-ho, and Hua Mi-yeon seemed to see the future of "Infinite Challenge".
Luo Junning didn't care about the change in these people's eyes, and continued to smile and said:
"Nowadays, the pressure of Korean society is getting heavier and heavier, and venting stress has become a top priority, and if they can get quite a lot of vent from entertainment activities that do not cost much compared to TV compared to going to nightclubs and clubbing, then what will they choose?"
