Chapter 456: Can gaming variety shows be done this way?

"But it's true. Look at 'Variety Adventure'. Is there anyone in the industry who hasn't heard of it? It has a 30-point viewership rating! It has a huge fan base in China too! This group of fans alone can probably prop up the ratings of this imported version."

"Conservatively speaking, the ratings will definitely break 5!"

"I think this IP is probably the strongest this summer. Even if The Voice of China doesn't rely on its past success, it may not be able to compete with it..."

"How much did Volkswagen pay? Our company has inquired before, and the copyright fees are only at the small target level!"

“Hiss~~~”

"Volkswagen has a good hand here! Compared to the Avengers' Running Man, this is a lot more gimmicky!"

"Where did you buy the copyright for 'Runningman'?"

"I heard that Loki wrote it himself..."

"Ah? Original?"

"right."

“Are there any original variety shows in China?”

"Does the News Broadcast count?"

“…”

"No!"

"That......"

"Remind you, there's no certainty about Loki and the Avengers, so don't speak too soon!"

"Right, right, right. Which of the public's cards is not strong? The result..."

"Avengers always have a king bomb!"

"Then can I look forward to it?"

"Hehehe, the variety show war between the public and the Avengers is here!"

Summer variety shows usually start airing in June or July and last for about 2-3 months.

During this period, a lot of big IPs will emerge, including but not limited to various well-known talent shows.

For example, last year's king of kings "Masked Singer", the old IP "The Voice of Daxia", "The Rap of Daxia", "Girl Group Battle" and so on.

There are also various summer-specific games, adventures, travel variety shows, etc.

This year, the most popular variety show is of course the Japanese and Korean IP "Variety Adventure" which Volkswagen spent a huge amount of money to introduce, and the original variety show "Runningman" which is highly suspected to be launched by the Avengers to compete with Volkswagen!

A month ago, both sides had already started selecting people and inviting guests.

I thought a fierce battle for talent would begin.

Both programs are game adventures, and this type of variety show usually chooses young popular stars.

Then everyone will rise in popularity. There are only a few top idols, so everyone will be scrambling for them!

The result... I never expected it, the Avengers really never play by the rules!

“???”

"I'm a little confused about their guest list."

Lin Shao looked at the guests of "Runningman" with a face full of question marks.

Zhang Junpeng? Almost 40, right? A popular muscleman singer. Although he's well-suited to sports games, his performance in recent years has been mediocre, and he's almost dropped out of the second-tier.

Rong Yining? The only actress to appear in the Avengers, the only one who made a name for herself among the seven guests.

Although she holds the top spot on Daxia’s original film list with “Kung Fu”, she is a well-known vase in the circle!

Are there any other tepid comedians, underground rappers, or marginal actors?

This last one is even more outrageous!

Zhou Haiyuan, you're almost 60, right?!

No songs! No works! No acting skills!

Just hanging around on variety shows...

This guy plays adventures and games?!

Aren’t you afraid that someone might sprain their back?

You have to buy the maximum insurance amount!

"What is the Avengers doing?"

Now, everyone only knows that "Runningman" is an adventure game, but this guest lineup...

Not as good as an ordinary second-tier variety show...

The only one who can hold up the facade is Rong Yining, who is beautiful! She has works! She has a certain status!

But, she has never been on a variety show...

It’s not that strong, but it’s definitely weird!

The guests can be unpopular, but they can’t be weird!

What on earth are you planning to do?

At this time, there is a big question mark over the heads of opponents, people in the circle and fans!

From the perspective of investment and projects, normal people would tend to prefer "Variety Adventure".

The risk is low and the probability of rollover is also low.

Easier to recoup your investment!

What is the purpose of doing variety shows?

Is it for a dream?

It's obvious! It's for fame and profit!

But Strawberry and the "Runningman" team don't think so.

They were all stunned when they first received the invitation.

You know, none of Daxia’s original variety shows have gone viral...

At present, they are still in the stage of copying and imitating.

If your work is purely original, it is likely that most of the guests are here just for the money.

But, this is Strawberry Terrace!

The king of entertainment in the Daxia television industry! If not number one, then at least in the top two!

Their variety show production and appreciation abilities are top-notch!

What's more, this project is rated A!

It can be seen that it is taken very seriously internally.

This is the biggest reason why the 7 invited people accepted the show!

There is also a very important uncertainty factor, that is the Avengers!

Ever since Iron Man was exposed, the Avengers' various outrageous actions against the public have been exposed to the naked eye.

And, it feels this way almost every time.

The public has a big hand! It feels like it's about to make a killing, and when everyone in the entertainment industry starts to avoid it, the Avengers will throw out a seemingly ordinary move.

Later it will be confirmed that it is the king bomb with a pair of ghosts!

And this time, it’s an original variety show!

So the question is, what will the setting of "Runningman" be like?

Can the Avengers still deliver the same close-range damage as before?

This was the first meeting of the Strawberry "Runningman" team after signing the contract.

The seven main guests and their agents were all present.

The atmosphere was a bit tense and awkward. We weren’t familiar with each other and weren’t even from the same track!

There is not much cooperation between them, and most of them are just acquaintances.

After a while, Strawberry's director team came in.

Zhang Wen also came with them.

He was still drafted into the army.

"Storm" is about to be completed, and it would be inappropriate to start it here without the Avengers, so he came over to take a look first.

“!!!”

"Hello, Director! Hello, Director Zhang Wen!"

Seeing this group of people, the seven people were happy.

Isn’t the purpose of participating in variety shows to get to know these resources?

Especially Zhang Wen! The great director of Avengers!

There are countless hit products on hand!

"I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City", "Wulin Waijiao", "Beginning", "Once Upon a Time in China", "Kuangbing"!

This is a big name in the film and television industry!

If it weren't for Wukong suppressing him, he would be the best among young directors! The backbone of the new generation!

"I just came to take a look. Director Meng is mainly in charge of the work."

"You are too modest!"

Then, we got to the point.

Many game adventure variety shows have been broadcast in China, and many of the plots are imitated or directly introduced from abroad.

As a result, this time...

“!!!”

When the notebook was handed out, 7 people were shocked!

"Can gaming variety shows be done this way?"

"Do the guests have personalities?"

"PD filmed the whole thing?"

"Interacting with the director team and the audience?"

"Acupressure mats? Diving? A game to suppress laughter? And even name tag ripping? What a wild idea!"

"Did Mr. Loki come up with these crazy ideas?"

"Damn! Are these used to play tricks on people?"

"Hahahahahaha! I feel like laughing just reading the book! I can't even imagine how beautiful the pictures must be!"

Several people only saw details and some scattered highlights.

But Director Meng is different. He has participated in the production of too many of Strawberry's ace variety shows.

When it was said that the Avengers wanted to cooperate with them, although he took it seriously, he didn't have much hope for this original variety show.

Average is fine.

Everyone knows very well how far Daxia's overall entertainment industry has developed.

The same goes for variety shows, which are neither very popular nor very popular.

But when he saw the whole purpose of "Runningman", he was shocked!
