Hearing Ren Min say that the show needed six hosts, five men and one woman, Mo Xiaojuan's expression was a little strange. She wanted to say something but stopped herself. However, she felt that this was not the right occasion, so she held back for the time being.
Yang Yi nodded approvingly at Ren Min and said, "You're right! In addition to what you said, I also hope to add an important condition to the selection of these six hosts. They have to be grounded! "
"Grounded?" Yan Tao and the others could not help but repeat.
They were not unfamiliar with this term, but they were a little surprised that Yang Yi would use it.
"That's right. Our show has to pursue extreme realism. It has to be a true reality show. This requires everyone to show their true side without any scruples. They don't care if they make a fool of themselves, make mistakes, or even fall and get injured!" Yang Yi said solemnly.
"Of course, we have to give everyone the greatest protection behind the scenes. We have to do our best to not let them get hurt or have any situations that no one wants to see happen." Yang Yi smiled, but his tone did not relax. "However, all the hosts, including the guests, need to throw away the burden of being an idol and do their best to win instead of putting on a show of challenge for the audience. Believe me, the audience will not be fooled by you!"
Ren Min nodded. Clearly, she agreed with Yang Yi's statement. This was because the viewership ratings of "Life's Metamorphosis" had once experienced a period of decline. It was because they were too focused on the effects of the program and fabricated some dramatic plots that were seen through by the audience.
"Even if it's a female host, do we have to do the same?" Yan Tao asked.
"That's right. She's not allowed to be shy. If it doesn't work, we might as well not use a female host. All six hosts are men! "Yang Yi said." The female host we choose also has to be grounded. "
The reason why Yang Yi changed the "Men Gang of Chicken Strips" to a "Running Man" model was that he wanted to add some variables to the show. After all, women were different from men. No matter how manly she was, she was still a woman. How she handled the relationship with the other hosts and how she faced high-intensity challenges would give the show a lot of interesting points to watch.
Of course, the premise was that the female host had to be as daring as Song Zhixiao, not like …
"That's right. The audience wants to see the real side of celebrities. Besides, to be honest, the audience who watch variety shows would prefer the down-to-earth celebrities like Elder Yang … Yang Yi, you said," Yun Yangfeng said with a smile.
Yun Yangfeng was in charge of the operations department. He was familiar with the audience's preferences, so his words had a certain degree of credibility. Yan Tao had no objections.
Yang Yi continued, "The reason why I need Director Yan and Director Ren to work together is because our program isn't as simple as a challenge. It also has a competitive aspect to it. I believe that this is something Director Yan is good at. In addition, it also includes a lot of human nature and emotional interactions. For example, the simplest brotherhood, the camaraderie during an alliance, or some interesting intrigue! "
Yang Yi turned to look at Ren Min and said, "I've watched a lot of Director Ren's programs, especially the few episodes that you've directed independently. To be honest, I'm surprised by Director Ren's meticulousness in how he captured expressions, shot the details, and edited them together to make some of the plots more emotional."
"Therefore, our Limit Challenge needs Director Yan's overall control, rhythm, and Director Ren's handling of the details and emotions. Both of you are very important!" Yang Yi emphasized these because he did not want there to be any gap between the two main directors of a program due to fighting.
Yan Tao and Ren Min exchanged a look and said to Yang Yi, "Yang Yi, you can rest assured about this. We have our own professional ethics, we won't be careless in our work."
Back to the program itself, Yan Tao and Ren Min asked Yang Yi about some details of the program. Yang Yi answered everything he knew.
However, there was a limit to what he could do. After all, Yang Yi didn't watch every episode of those variety shows in his previous life. These weren't his favorites, he only watched a few episodes occasionally.
Therefore, Yang Yi could only provide them with a direction. As for the rest, whether it was the theme of each episode, the plot, or the gameplay of each challenge (game), it all needed to be conceived by them and the scriptwriters behind them.
Of course, if Yang Yi thought of everything by himself, then why would he spend so much money to buy them back? To raise them, of course they had to create value for Yang Yi.
Yang Yi felt that this meeting was about to end, so he asked, "Do you have any other questions?"
Ren Min hesitated and said, "About the six permanent hosts, Yang Yi, I don't know if you have any ideas?"
"These six people can't be professional hosts because, to be honest, a professional host would destroy the fairness of the game to a certain extent. He might be too smooth in controlling the situation and leave a lot of traces, but we'll try our best to pursue authenticity," Yang Yi said. "I'll propose two candidates first. You guys can see if they're suitable. If there are any questions, we can discuss them together. Don't worry about anything. "
"The first candidate I think is suitable is Ju Jie." Yang Yi said.
When Yang Yi said this, he was not sure about Yan Tao and the others' reaction.
But to Yang Yi's surprise, whether it was Yan Tao or Ren Min, they all nodded in agreement.
"Ju Jie is not bad. He is not a professional host, but he has the potential to be a host!" Yan Tao said.
Ren Min also said, "Ju Jie's overall performance is not bad. I have seen some of his programs. He knows how to help the guests fight for the screen time. This is a very good trait."
Because of the accident of the original boss of China Star Production, although the two of them had not directed a program for half a year, they still paid attention to domestic and foreign variety shows. They even knew Ju Jie so well! Having obtained their approval, Yang Yi also felt much more at ease.
"The other candidate is Guo Ziyi. Maybe you are not familiar with him. He is the male lead of the popular" Fairy Tale "micro movie at the beginning of this year. He has another movie coming out next year." Yang Yi said.
"I have seen that micro movie, but the Ah Guang you mentioned, isn't he a very introverted person?" Ren Min asked, puzzled.
"Of course not. He is just acting. In real life, he is actually a very talkative person. His personality is also very funny. He is the joker among his friends!" Yang Yi laughed.
He chose Guo Ziyi, of course, because he wanted to keep the goodies within the family. But most importantly, it was because Guo Ziyi's personality was indeed suitable for variety shows. Recently, Ding Xiang said that Guo Ziyi was going to lose weight. It was a good opportunity for him to give it a try and let him realize the importance and urgency of losing weight!
However, Yan Tao and Ren Min looked at each other and did not say anything.
This was obviously a "backdoor entry." They did not know Yang Yi's personality. Even if Yang Yi said that they should not have any concerns about their opinions, they did not dare to go against Yang Yi and not let Guo Ziyi come.
Yang Yi saw Yan Tao and Ren Min's silent look and guessed their thoughts. He said, "It is normal that you don't know him well. How about this, I will let Guo Ziyi come over tomorrow. You can test him personally. Then, after the Spring Festival, he will go to Shanghai. You can try with him in Shanghai. If it is really not suitable, we will change people!"
Yan Tao and Ren Lian both breathed a sigh of relief and agreed to Yang Yi's arrangement.
"There is one more candidate." Yun Yangfeng observed their expressions and felt that he had to speak up for Yang Yi. "I think that among the five men and one woman, can we confirm another person? What about Murphy? If she is the permanent host of the variety show, she will definitely help us pull in a lot of viewership ratings! "
Mo Xiaojuan's expression was even more peculiar.
Yang Yi had actually spoken her mind. Mo Xiaojuan was also wondering if Murphy was included in Yang Yi's request for the five men and one woman. Was this variety show just to pave the way for Murphy's comeback?
However, Yang Yi shook his head with a smile.
