Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 152: Doing the opposite, brilliant!

Once a decision is made, penguins are quite efficient.

That evening, the crew of "Day and Night Chase" received relevant notifications and subsequent plans - rest on the spot for two days, revise the corresponding planning scheme, and then set off for Yun Province as a group.

This plan also caused quite a stir within the crew.

After all, this format of live variety shows has never been seen before.

Previously, the efficiency of "The Road to the Sun" was already quite amazing with its form of filming, editing and broadcasting at the same time. Unexpectedly, this time it went a step further and started live streaming directly.

Penguin was originally worried that someone on the crew would be unwilling, but it turned out to be a groundless worry.

The leading actors all had no objection, and the remaining supporting actors naturally would not ask for any special treatment. They all voted unanimously to approve this new program format.

And when everyone learned that this crazy program idea was actually proposed by Zhou Hao, they couldn't help but be amazed.

Having a good brain makes a difference!

The Penguins also split into two groups. One team flew to Yun Province in advance and began to make various preparations.

After all, this was their first attempt at a live variety show, and just setting up the camera kept them busy for a while.

On the other hand, Jiang Yan led the team to work overtime to modify the program plan. After all, recorded broadcasts and live broadcasts are different, and it is impossible to apply the same program plan.

As the "initiator" of the live broadcast plan, Zhou Hao was also invited to attend an internal meeting.

This was his first time walking into the office building of Penguin Video. Even though it was just a small division of Penguin, the luxury of its office environment was already better than that of Miaobi.

I can only sigh that penguins are really fucking rich.

Although there were constant internal disputes, everyone still maintained a consistent welcoming attitude towards Zhou Hao, a "rare guest" with unlimited potential. Zhou Hao felt a little flattered by the praise.

However, when it came to the formal meeting stage, the atmosphere was not so friendly. After a few rounds, the atmosphere became tense.

The reason is that this is the first time to do a live variety show and everyone has no experience, so there are different opinions and arguments about the direction of the program planning changes.

Seeing that the conference room was about to turn into a vegetable market, Jiang Yan patted the table and looked at Zhou Hao, "Master Zhou, do you have any ideas for us to refer to?"

Now that he was here, Zhou Hao had no intention of being shy and keeping his secrets to himself.

Penguin, the wealthy sponsor, was the future partner he had personally selected, so selling some favors now was considered an investment.

After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "It is indeed a bit of an immature idea, but I will just say it out as a starting point for discussion."

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up, "No need to be modest, just say it."

"I heard that the focus of everyone's debate just now was how to control the rhythm of the entire program and use the traditional rhythm orientation to retain the audience and increase the ratings, right?" Zhou Hao asked.

"That's right." Jiang Yan nodded. "Do you think there's a problem?"

Zhou Hao curled his lips and said, "If that's the case, then the live broadcast is meaningless. It's like still not breaking away from the clichés, and it's like putting new wine in old bottles."

"Since the live broadcast format has been changed, the direction of the program planning should also be innovated accordingly, right?"

Jiang Yan smiled and nodded, "Go on."

"My idea is..." Zhou Hao paused and said, "Give up the rhythm-oriented planning and switch to atmosphere-oriented planning. Give up the fast-paced routine of retaining people and go for the slow-paced healing style."

"It just so happens that the beautiful scenery in Yun Province is like a paradise, very suitable as the background for a healing program." As soon as the words fell, everyone in the conference room began to whisper to each other.

Jiang Yan frowned and thought for a while, then began to communicate with her assistant.

Nowadays, variety shows generally use fast-paced and exaggerated scripts as their main selling points, and then coordinate with the performances of the guests to achieve perfect results.

However, Zhou Hao now actually suggests abandoning the rhythm orientation... Is there really anyone who watches that kind of slow, rhythmless and conflict-free variety show?

A few minutes later, Jiang Yan spoke again: "Xiao Zhou, can you be more specific?"

Zhou Hao nodded. "Let me give you an example - you can set a theme, such as a quiet rural life. Just give the guests a general framework and goals for the activities, and let the guests play freely for the rest."

"In this fast-paced society, people have a fantasy of a idyllic life that is almost like a utopia. If you can add a handsome man or a beautiful woman as your life partner, it will basically be a scene that many people can only dream of, and the sense of substitution will be very strong."

"In addition, letting celebrities move around in this kind of life-like live broadcast can easily expose their true side, which is a huge attraction in itself and can satisfy fans' curiosity about the lives of celebrities in the most direct and authentic way."

"The shortcoming of this kind of program is that it is slow to warm up, and may not be so effective in retaining viewers in the early stages. But once viewers are hooked, it is difficult to get out, because life is like opening a blind box, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow."

"The production team doesn't know, the guests participating in the recording don't know, and the audience in front of the screen doesn't know either. This kind of anticipation for unknown excitement is very effective in retaining the audience..."

Listening to Zhou Hao's story, Jiang Yan's eyes gradually began to light up.

This trick does the opposite, how clever!

Instead of deliberately writing scripts to arrange "surprises", it is better to just let life create surprises itself!
Script writing is limited by inspiration, and it is easy for routines to be repeated, causing aesthetic fatigue among the audience.

But life doesn’t!
No one knows whether there will be a shock or a surprise in the next moment.

As long as the guests are given an environment with enough variables, there will definitely be no lack of highlights!
This fantastic idea is truly amazing!

Giving Zhou Hao a burning look, Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh, "If your writing career wasn't as prosperous as it is now, I would definitely try to recruit you. Your brain... is really enviable!"

Zhou Hao smiled awkwardly and said a few polite words, thinking to himself: It’s not that I’m so great, it’s just that you are just too incompetent!

Over in Global Village next door, in 16, all kinds of online variety shows were already very popular, but you guys are still rehashing the same old stuff...

It would be strange if the audience didn’t get bored!
"Does anyone have any opinion on Mr. Zhou's idea?" Jiang Yan asked, looking around the audience.

No one answered.

In fact, the reason why there was so much debate before was simply because people felt that the combination of those plans tasted a bit strange. Now Zhou Hao's plan is basically a "original soup into original food" solution. Just think about it and you will know how perfect its feasibility is.

What else can be said?

"Okay, then the general direction has been decided." Jiang Yan smiled and sighed, "You guys continue to discuss the remaining details... Mr. Zhou, come with me, someone wants to see you."

Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment, "Who?"

"Keep it secret for now." Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows and showed a mischievous smile on her face, "You will know if you come with me."

Seeing her expression, Zhou Hao felt a sudden shock in his heart.

Could it be that Guo Chen's bad words really came true? This elder sister...
