Chapter 259 Various highlights of the show
This time, the dormitory party led by Gu Qingge was a great success with all the guests having a great time.
For Gu Qingge herself, she also gained a lot, after all, she received a commission from the genius scientist Chen Xiao.
It is undoubtedly very appropriate to use "Battle of Psychics", a very popular and topical reality show in the original world, to complete the other party's commissioned tasks.
This variety show is quite good at promoting people and packaging "masters". After all, before going on the show, the contestants also have to prepare their personalities. There are pseudo-masters who are responsible for being funny and lazy, there are real masters who are dedicated to showing off their status and creating mystery, there are also gentle, caring, empathetic personalities, and so on.
Anyway, as long as the character design is good and the acting is realistic, there will be no worries about attracting fans.
There are also various sects, rituals, etc., and you can ask popular authors who are good at this category to set them up, so that they appear as professional as possible.
Anyway, this show is quite suitable for amateurs and models who have strong acting skills but are not famous. Even the audience members who cooperate with the psychics in the show have to have acting skills.
When the psychics "calculate" their privacy in an instant, they should pretend to be extremely shocked and act as if they believe the psychics from the bottom of their hearts.
As long as everyone performs well, this kind of reality show that pretends to be ghosts and feudal superstitions will definitely be indistinguishable from the real thing, and then its entertainment value will naturally be very strong, which can be said to be loved by everyone.
Therefore, this type of variety show is indeed very innovative and will definitely make the Chinese audience around the world shine. Once it becomes popular, foreign artists can also be invited to participate in this show.
Once an artist becomes famous after participating in this program, they can collect IQ tax and set up a special team to manage their master image and sell various mysterious peripheral products.
Gu Qingge discussed the idea of this variety show with her partner Ye Jingyi.
After hearing this, Ye Jingyi couldn't help but praise it, saying, "This variety show is truly fascinating. It feels like a talent show with a touch of fictional supernatural elements. It all comes down to who performs best and wins the votes of the audience. The more popular they are, the further they'll go! How about we work together to come up with a detailed plan and then collaborate with Tencent?"
Gu Qingge naturally had no objection. At present, the scale of "Qingge Culture Media" company was still not big enough. A large-scale variety show like "Battle of Psychics" that had to hold "auditions" at the beginning was definitely not something that could be produced independently by her own company.
Therefore, cooperating with Tencent to make this cake bigger and making money together with this series of variety shows is a win-win situation.
It just so happens that after "Creation 101", the next few variety shows produced by Tencent were not considered hits and did not reach the heights of "Creation Camp". They originally wanted to continue to cooperate with Gu Qingge to create a new popular variety show.
Therefore, when the leaders in charge of variety shows at Tencent saw the plan for the reality show "Battle of Psychics", they were immediately attracted!
I didn’t expect that Gu Qingge is so creative in planning variety shows!
Before, everyone only held auditions for singers, girl groups, and actors, but she went so far as to organize an audition for psychics, asking artists who had received scripts and character designs in advance to pretend to be "masters" to participate in the audition...
It turns out that everything can be used for entertainment these days, and feudal and superstitious things are especially suitable for this kind of fun!
Who hasn’t read “Ten Unsolved Mysteries” or “Ghost Stories” when they were little? But the older we get, the more we realize that they are all fake.
There are simply not that many mysterious stories in this world that can only be used as material, which makes many people who yearn for the mysterious side feel regretful.
Programs like "Battle of Psychics" are designed to make up for the regrets of these viewers.
The leaders in charge of this area at Tencent made a decisive decision. They were willing to cooperate with Gu Qingge and invest in this very marketable variety show.
Gu Qingge himself will also participate in the first episode of "Battle of Psychics", of course not as a contestant, but as a special guest and the object of the contestants' psychic communication.
During the audition process, there is a project segment where all contestants are blindfolded and asked to use their "spiritual power", "yin-yang eyes", "sixth sense" and "pineal gland" to perceive the person sitting on the throne.
Gu Qingge only needs to be responsible for sitting on the throne and being beautiful alone, while these contestants have to describe who the person sitting on the throne is, her/his gender, age, occupation, personality, experience, etc.
Generally, the shortlisted artists knew the answer in advance. All they had to do was to make up a story based on Gu Qingge...
As for Gu Qingge, he also had to act surprised - why could these blindfolded "psychics" be so accurate in their spiritual communication?
Oh my God, are there really masters of the mysterious side in this world?
In fact, of course, she was not surprised at all. After all, they all had scripts. It just depended on who could perform more realistically and gain audience favor based on the answers obtained in advance.
The so-called reality show variety show is just a show.
But "Battle of Psychics" can completely market its authenticity and then spark debate among everyone. As long as everyone starts arguing, one side thinks it is true, or at least half true and half false, and the other side thinks it is completely false, then wouldn't its popularity increase?
The biggest fear of variety shows is a lack of topics, and "Battle of Psychics" is undoubtedly full of topics.
After Tencent agreed to cooperate with Gu Qingge, it naturally began to prepare for this psychic reality show.
First of all, of course, we have to choose a permanent host, and then we have to choose an outdoor host. The best character is someone who doesn't believe in psychics and has to find fault with the contestants whenever he has time. This will make the show effective.
The host went from not believing it to being scared into believing it, which was also a very interesting thing to watch.
Secondly, screenwriters have to be recruited, and after signing a confidentiality agreement, they have to write stories or collect real-life "urban legends" so that the audience can feel involved. The psychics have to use their magic powers to solve these "urban legends", curses, etc.
The place where the contestants compete, of course, has to be a "haunted house", "ancient castle", "wild mountains and wilderness", etc. In short, any elements that can increase the authenticity must be added.
It is expected that this variety show will take two months to prepare before officially starting recording.
During these two months, Tencent will also invest publicity resources for promotion.
Nowadays, there are many internet celebrities such as Taoist priests, monks, martial arts masters, qigong masters, and Yixue masters. Tencent will send them audition invitations and invite them to participate in the "Battle of Psychics" program.
After learning about the latest talent show variety show planned by Tencent, netizens naturally wanted to watch the fun and urged the masters who received the invitation letters to...
"It's time to prove yourself, Master Ma Baoguo!"
"Teacher Ma has to participate in 'Battle of Psychics'. His internal energy skills and lightning whip are already highly developed. As someone who studies traditional martial arts, wouldn't it be easy for him to crush other masters on this show?"
"Masters of traditional martial arts probably don't have the right expertise. I think it would be most appropriate to let those masters of Dongbai who have the ability to perform as spirit masters participate in this program."
"Are there any fox spirits who want to play on 'Battle of Psychics'?"
"No one would really underestimate us, the Maoshan Taoist priests, would they? Once I use my Maoshan Taoist magic, I will definitely win this spiritual battle!"
"Geely is making a big deal this time, even inviting a famous Onmyoji from a vassal state of Japan. A Japanese Onmyoji, I think it's a good idea!"
"The Nanyang black magic master requested to fight. We are experts in raising little ghosts and offering them as Buddha amulets! Female celebrities in the circle come to us in Nanyang to ask for little ghosts!"
"@Hong Kong White Dragon King, White Dragon King's predictions are incredibly accurate. Remember that time management guru who had group sex? White Dragon King told him to quit long ago, but he refused to listen!"
"Why doesn't Qigong Master Lin Wang prove himself? He's the godfather of two of the most popular actresses in the industry and a frequent guest of Jack Ma!"
"@Chen Xiao, a genius scholar with metaphysics in his left hand and science in his right hand, it's time to prove that your metaphysics skills are no less than your science skills."
