Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Variety show "Red and Blue Competition" (2 more)...
[Chapter 26, Variety Show Process]
Starting from August 20, the five people studied according to the new course schedule.
In addition to laying the foundation in dance classes every day, students also have to learn a lot of additional dance moves; vocal classes require systematic training in vocal cord closure, breath control, and more technical processing when singing.
Teacher Qiao also taught them a lot of music theory, helped them understand the rules of harmonic modulation, and adapted some old songs for them to practice repeatedly.
The process of FTM's debut was actually a case of the top management forcing them to grow too fast. They conducted a concentrated "exam-oriented education" training, directly giving them the test questions, and they only needed to memorize the answers to the questions.
Although the debut performance was completed smoothly, the basic skills were not solid enough and there was no team tacit understanding - this was also the biggest flaw of FTM's hastily formed group. The shortcomings must be made up as soon as possible.
The news that FTM will be participating in a variety show was officially announced a week in advance. Many fans came out to buy stocks.
"Wow, the little group has a variety show so soon?"
"Not bad, it seems I made the right choice in buying the stocks."
"Next Friday night, Taohe platform will broadcast "Red and Blue Competition". OK, got it. I have set an alarm to watch it on time."
"I've never heard of this variety show... Never mind. If a small group can take on a small variety show, I'll watch it."
Some people also jumped out to mock: "They are already on variety shows after their debut, what a bunch of resourceful people."
This message was followed by hundreds of replies:
"Other boy bands were able to show off their faces on variety shows before their debut, why didn't you say anything?"
"Who is making fun of our small and obscure group? We debuted out of nowhere with zero fan base. What's wrong with you being promoted on a variety show?"
Mo Xun checked the entry square and found that the fans who bought stocks were actually defending them? It's quite heartwarming.
The intense schedule makes every day pass quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it was Friday, August 30th, the agreed time for the variety show recording.
After dinner, Xu Baichuan called them and urged them to gather in the garage and took them to do their makeup.
On the way, Xu Baichuan handed a stack of information to Mo Xun and said, "I'll send you the schedule for today's program first."
Mo Xun distributed the information to his teammates and rotated the second row of seats around, so that everyone faced each other and looked at the program announcement carefully.
This is the first variety show they have taken part in after their debut, an entertainment program produced by Taohe Video Platform, called "Red and Blue Competition", in which guests are invited to play various games and divide into two teams, red and blue, to compete.
The popularity of this variety show can only be considered third-rate in the variety show industry, and it certainly cannot be compared with the first-tier hit variety shows that have a high national popularity.
But it also has a fixed audience and its ratings are quite stable because it has a very special feature - live broadcast.
Xu Baichuan explained: "Most variety shows are recorded, but 'Red and Blue Contest' is live. The selling point is that the red team and the blue team, which are composed of flying guests, compete in three rounds of games. The resident guests place bets, and if they place the wrong bet, they will be punished."
"At the same time, netizens watching the live broadcast can also place bets in the Weibo topic area, and those who bet correctly can participate in the guest autograph draw."
Fang Yinnian suddenly realized - this is actually a game of gambling, right?
Open gambling is certainly not allowed, but this method of "playing games to bet on winning or losing, and accepting punishment if the bet is wrong" is very clever.
Since the show is live, no one knows who will win or lose, and the audience will feel more involved by playing along.
Fang Yinnian said, "If it's a live variety show, isn't the risk quite high? If something goes wrong, there's no way to edit it out, right?"
Xu Baichuan smiled and said, "Don't worry. This kind of variety show is just for fun. The guests won't be scolded by netizens whether they win or lose. Netizens actually like to watch the punishment segment. Just relax and play a few games."
Only then did Fang Yinnian feel relieved.
Tan Junwen asked curiously, "There are five more flying guests today. Will they form another team to compete with us?"
Xu Baichuan said: "Yes, the other five are actors."
Fang Yinnian had very little knowledge of the film and television industry. He had never even heard of the male lead in the hit drama that Tan Junwen was following some time ago, and he had no idea about the popular stars who had risen in popularity in recent years.
He looked at Xu Baichuan worriedly: "How is the guest lineup on the other side?"
Xu Baichuan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. The flying guests on the other side are all young people who are as confused as you."
Five people: “…”
It seems like these third-tier variety shows are just a bunch of muddled gatherings.
Then don't feel any pressure, just have fun.

Half an hour later, the nanny car stopped at the underground garage of Taochang. Five people got out of the car one after another and followed the agent to the dressing room.
Since it is a game-related variety show, the styling cannot be too complicated. Everyone wears very light everyday makeup and simply styles their hair.
The costumes for the variety show "Red and Blue Competition" are provided by the program team. Five flying guests wear white casual pants and blue sports T-shirts, and the other five guests wear black casual pants and red sports T-shirts.
The teams were also decided in advance, and FTM was assigned to the blue team today.
Everyone went to the locker room to change into the clothes provided by the program team. They brought their own shoes, and the five of them all wore white sneakers.
After the five of them had finished posing, they took a few photos, and a photographer who was with the group also took some behind-the-scenes video footage for them. Xu Baichuan looked at the picture of the five people standing together and smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad, a refreshing man, full of energy."
The five members of FTM have great figures and good looks. Even if they wear the simplest white pants and blue sportswear, they look as good as models.
There is still half an hour before recording starts.
Xu Baichuan took them to meet the staff: "This is Director Zhou, host Xu Xinjie."
The five people greeted each other politely.
The other five flying guests of this variety show have also gathered here after getting ready.
Fang Yinnian doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, so it's normal that he doesn't know him. However, Tan Junwen and Fu Fei, who often follow the drama and watch melons, also said that they are not very familiar with each other. It is true that there is no such thing as the most obscure, only more obscure.
The three regular guests are quite famous.
One of them is the well-known variety show comedian Cheng Kangle; one is Zhang Yu, who won the Best Supporting Actor at the film festival last year; and there is also an actress named Xu Jia who is active in the TV drama circle, specializes in playing villains, and can also name some classic representative roles.
"Hello, teachers." The five people were not familiar with the flying guests and resident guests on the opposite side, so they all bowed and called them teachers. They were too unknown to dare to offend anyone.
"Hello." The guests on the opposite side also greeted them politely.
"FTM, this is an idol boy band that just debuted this month, right?" Senior Cheng Kangle, a regular guest, walked over and said with a smile, "They are all newcomers, and this is their first time on a variety show!"
"Yes, teacher." Mo Xun replied with a smile.
"I'm telling you, variety shows are all scripted. You five will definitely win today, and the other side will deliberately lose as planned, understand?" Cheng Kangle said seriously, "I will bet on you to win, and the other two regular guests will be punished if they bet wrong."
“???” The five people looked at each other in confusion. Is that so?
"Do you understand?" He looked at Fang Yinnian with a smile, "I'll give you the script later."
"Should we perform according to the script?" Fang Yinnian asked seriously.
"Old Cheng, stop teasing the newbie!" A guest nearby couldn't stand it anymore and walked up to him and said, "Don't believe his nonsense. This variety show doesn't have a script. Winning or losing in the game depends entirely on your performance on the spot."
Fang Yinnian: “…”
"Hahaha, this newbie is so cute, I actually believed it." Facing Fang Yinnian's innocent look, Cheng Kangle reached out and patted his shoulder, "How can you survive in the entertainment industry like this? You'll be deceived."
Fang Yinnian blushed a little. He had indeed heard that many variety shows had scripts written in advance, so he almost believed it just now.
"Senior, you really know how to joke." Mo Xun stepped forward and said with a smile, "We really don't understand how to perform this show."
"Just play casually. Winning or losing doesn't matter. Just have fun." Cheng Kangle said with a smile, "This show doesn't get much attention anyway, so you don't have to feel pressured."
"Thank you, teacher." Mo Xun said politely.
This resident guest was quite humorous and teased Yinnian on purpose. It turned out that people who specialize in variety shows are very open-minded and he started joking with them when they met for the first time.
The director stepped forward and said, "Dear guests, please take a break first. The recording will start on time at 7 pm! Although it is a live broadcast, please relax. Our games are quite simple. Even if you lose, the punishment phase will not deliberately embarrass the guests."
He waved to the host. The female host with a ponytail came over and said, "Hello everyone, I am the host Xu Xin. I will arrange for you to play a game later. There will be three rounds in total. The game play process is written on the program notice. Teachers, please familiarize yourself with it first. If you don’t understand, please ask me in time."
This variety show has a "game card pool", and three types are randomly drawn in each episode. The ones drawn in today's episode are You Draw and I Guess, Fun Relay Race, and Blindfolded Fight.
Mo Xun asked: "Hello, host, what is the subject of the "You Draw, I Guess" segment? Idioms, words, or sentences?"
Xu Xin said: "The easy ones are words, and the harder ones are long sentences. It depends on what topic your teammates draw. You can discuss in advance who will draw."
Mo Xun nodded in understanding. He winked at his teammates, and they put their arms together, formed a circle, and lowered their heads to discuss.
Mo Xun lowered his voice and said, "For the first round, you draw and I guess, Junwen will be in charge of drawing, how do you think?"
Tan Junwen smiled and said, "No problem, I draw very quickly."
The rules of the game "You Draw, I Guess" are that one of the team members sees the word on the screen and describes it by drawing. The other teammates guess and they can score points if they guess correctly.
Junwen studied fine arts, so it would be more reliable to let him draw.
Mo Xun said, "For the second round of the fun relay race, let's line up by age. Xiao Fei will be the first, followed by Jun Wen, Tang Che, Yin Nian, and finally me."
Everyone nodded: "Okay."
Mo Xun said, "I've never played the third round of blindfolded fighting, so I can only rely on my feeling. Points are calculated based on the number of times you hit the opponent. Everyone should speed up and hit more times. After all, it's an inflatable hammer, so it won't hurt if it hits the body."
He said simply, "That's it. These games aren't too difficult. We just need to win one or two games. It'll be fine as long as we can."
Mo Xun took the initiative to extend his hand: "FTM!"
Everyone shouted together: "Come on!"
Time soon came to 7 o'clock in the evening and the variety show recording officially began.
At the same time, Taohe Video APP also put a pop-up window on the homepage to promote the variety show "Red and Blue Competition": "The new group FTM is the first flying guest. Who will win or lose between the red and blue teams? Please look forward to this week's red and blue competition!"
This variety show is live broadcast, and the games in each episode are random. It has a group of regular audiences, and today a lot of FTM stock-buying fans also flocked in.
As soon as the live broadcast started, the barrage area became very lively.
[The Xiaohutuan has made progress and has started to be a guest star? 】
【Let’s take a look at Xiao Hu Tuan’s first variety show】
There are also some fans of other guests and variety show fans posting.
【I will support Brother Xiang】
[I only watch Lao Cheng, he is so funny! 】
[I don’t recognize any of today’s guest stars]
[It seems there is an idol boy group? 】
[Bet!] I'm going all-in on the blue team today, betting on a big wave.]
At the recording site, the director gestured to start.
The host Xu Xin said with a smile: "Dear audience, good Friday night, welcome to the live broadcast of the 30th episode of "Red and Blue Competition". Let us invite the flying guests of this episode with warm applause!"
"The first to come towards us is the blue team - the FTM group!"
There is real-time post-processing in the director's room, and each guest's special effects name will be displayed when they appear.
The captain of the blue team, Mo Xun, left first, and the others followed him. There was a camera facing the face in the entrance area, and the guests needed to greet the audience here.
Mo Xun smiled generously and waved towards the camera, and Fang Yinnian followed his lead and waved with a smile. Tang Che nodded expressionlessly, Tan Junwen winked at the camera in a relaxed manner, and Fu Fei smiled brightly and made a heart shape with his hands.
[Wow, this team is so good-looking! 】
[The handsome guy named Tang Che just now had a cool face]
[Is the first one to come out the captain? Pretty handsome]
[Who is the curly-haired boy who just winked? I feel a little bit touched! 】
[This is the FTM boy band! 】
[Welcome to follow our little group. It’s the first time for the kids to be on a variety show. They’re a little nervous hahaha]
[Reporting Fang Yinnian for being lazy and directly copying the captain's actions]
[I’m dying of laughter. Yinnian probably thinks that everyone is a group, so the gestures for greeting should be consistent? 】
[As a result, the formation was destroyed hhh]
The guests from both sides soon came out.
The host began to read out the rules of the game: "The first game is You Draw and I Guess. Each side sends a representative to draw, and the others guess together. Whoever can guess more correctly within the stipulated 10 minutes wins!"
"Well, please ask the three regular guests to place their bets. In the first round of "You Draw, I Guess", who do you think will win, the red team or the blue team?"
The audience is very familiar with the regular guests. Cheng Kangle, who specializes in variety shows, smiled and threw the betting ball into the blue box in front of him, saying: "I bet on the blue team. They are a boy group and should have more tacit understanding. I think they can win."
The other two guests sang the opposite tune: "Then I'll bet on the red team!" "I'll bet on the red team too, after all, Lao Cheng is a super jinx, whoever you bet on will lose, hahaha."
FTM: “???”
Senior, could you please stop badmouthing us?
