Being Tucao is getting more and more not funny, the current Douban score in season 5 is 6.1
Can the survival experiment of "Tucao Conference" succeed?
In the fifth season of "Tucao Conference", Yi Lijing issued a "soul questioning" to Li Dan: "Have you read the Douban scores of "Tucao Conference"? Do you know that "Tucao Conference" is getting more and more funny? Listen Have you ever commented that "Tucao Conference" has become a whitewashing conference? Have you thought about discontinuing "Tucao Conference"?"
Li Dan smiled, nodded, and did not answer.
background
It’s impossible to change the conservative program
The word-of-mouth score of the fifth season of "Tucao Conference" dropped.
In this case, the "Tucao Conference" program group is not unaware.
After the end of the fourth season, Cheng Lu, the chief screenwriter of the program group, wrote in her self-report, “Tucao has stabilized in the fourth quarter and has begun to be conservative.” It is reflected on the broadcast end that the top streamers who should be invited are invited. Now, there are also topics that should be there, but it makes people feel less and less dare to talk about it when they spit out, and the big coffees are also doing routines, performing more, and accepting spitting out. Some people say, The Tucao conference should be renamed the Whitewashing Conference.
Cheng Lu went directly to Ye Feng (the chairman of "Xiaoguo Culture"), "It won't work anymore, don't do it again."
After discussing several times, Ye Feng’s attitude is very clear: "The show must be done." Since its establishment, Xiaoguo has supported two variety show IPs, one "Tucao Conference", one "Talk Show Conference", and two IPs. Symbiosis and co-prosperity, "Tucao" needs "Talk Show" to send newcomers, and "Talk Show" needs "Tucao" to enhance the value of newcomers. Both are indispensable.
However, the situation of the two IPs is not the same. After the "talk show" experienced the strong rise of newcomers such as Yang Li, Li Xueqin, and He Guangzhi in the third season, what it needs is an upgrade, and the fifth season of "Tucao" is to be able to complain. There are fewer and fewer artists, and the slot point is becoming more and more single. How to spit out and take into account the artist’s bearing capacity is getting more and more difficult. On the other hand, the audience’s expectations are getting higher and higher. To change, only change can save life.

The introduction of the competition system is an important means of self-help
When he first appeared in "Tucao Conference", Yang Li sighed, "I have always wanted to be in "Tucao Conference". How good is this show. There is no need to compete. Now you are going to compete. Are you crazy?" Yes, this season's Tucao Conference. The convention is going to be a competition.
The 21 guests were divided into 3 groups, and the captain of each team was the main coffee, and each period came to the stage and suffered complaints from the other two teams.
After a round, the team with the fewest total votes on the scene needs to eliminate more players.
In the competition system, there are also gameplays such as self-exposure slot, make-up, elimination and even group annihilation.
In fact, the introduction of the competition system is an important means for the program to save itself.
"If "Tucao Conference" follows the original model, how many people will there be in the Chinese entertainment industry? Each issue consumes seven, and if you do ten issues, it will be seventy. Three or four hundred artists will be consumed in four seasons. In addition, these How long does it take for artists to contribute a batch of slots, and accumulating slots itself puts a lot of pressure on them.” At the recent media communication meeting of "Tucao Conference", the fifth season producer Bai Hongyu believed that from a pragmatic point of view, we must Find out what is the core of "Tucao Conference", "The gripper we found was'Why I Tucao'. At the beginning, you have a slot, I want to talk to you, and then I will be'I am my team.' In Tucao, this requires designing the competition system."
Chief director Tan Xiaohong introduced the logic of the competition system: "Self-exposing slots" is to arouse everyone's desire to complain, a bit like playing a truth or dare.
In addition, the self-exposed content can also represent the personal acceptance of the guests to Tucao.
Tan Xiaohong pointed out, "The core purpose of the competition system is to arouse the guests' desire to complain. We did not take the championship, second and third place seriously. Therefore, some adjustments will definitely be made in the process."
From a single drama to a series
At the same time as the reform of the competition system, the fifth season of "Tucao Conference" improved the big storyline of the show by introducing a reality show, turning the show from a single drama into a series.
In the show, the "sense of the head" of the reality show helps to perfect the rationality of the story.
Tan Xiaohong introduced that the newly added reality show and competition system in the fifth season gave the guests a group "sense of being up."
Perhaps the guests entered the game not to win at the beginning, but when everyone is in the game, in the process of "killing monsters and upgrading" with team members, they will have a sense of victory and mission, and thus become more "top".
Bai Hongyu described the reality show with the layer of tin foil on the outside of the tin foil: "It is indispensable, and the whole dish is complete with it." Through the reality show, the plot, the profile of the characters, and the advancement of the story are perfected. , And when it comes to the formal complaints, the overall atmosphere and intensity will be pushed to a climax.
surroundings
Any slot can be enlarged
In addition to change, we must persist.
Compared with the broadcast of the first season, the fifth season of "Tucao Conference" is faced with a more sensitive public opinion environment. Any slot may be enlarged and cause controversy. The most obvious example is to ridicule "men are ordinary and confident." "'S Yang Li was reported.
"In the future, will'Talk Show' and'Tucao' support or weaken Yang Li's expressions?" During the communication meeting, someone asked.
"What kind of person do you think Yang Li is?" Bai Hongyu asked back.
"She is actually an ordinary girl. She thinks this is very interesting and she speaks it out. There must be some groups who feel offended, but some people think it doesn’t matter. From the perspective of topic selection, it’s not about protection or advocacy, but you have What you want to say can be expressed in a humorous way. Under the general premise that policies, regulations, public order and good customs are accepted by everyone, it is not a bad thing to truly express personal opinions."
Tan Xiaohong also has his own answer, "First, as long as it is within the scope of talk shows and comedies, I encourage and very firmly encourage any expression. Second, (some) unnecessary harm, I will do something It’s handled, but whether it’s Yang Li or the expressions of other talk show actors, I encourage it."
Since the first season, "Tucao Conference" has been testing the boundary between comedy and offense. After five seasons, how to define the boundary? Bai Hongyu borrowed the description of Zhang Yiwu, a professor of Chinese at Peking University. Not fierce, strange but not weird"-this is the scale of complaints.
The guests' acceptance of Tucao is not enough
The fifth season of "Tucao Conference" is like a survival experiment.
The changes may not be all right. For example, the self-exposure slot points. Some people commented that Huang Yi, Ma Su, and Zhang Yuqi are all those things, not only in the "Tucao Conference", but also in several other variety shows.
Tan Xiaohong also admitted that after the recording, he found that "the guests' acceptance of Tucao is still far from what we thought. Maybe this is the maximum acceptance of Tucao by domestic entertainment stars".
As for the reality show, after watching the first 30 minutes of the first episode, I hesitated, "Will this episode be broadcast?" "But the establishment of the worldview structure and rules of the season is only in the first 30 minutes of the first episode. Self-help, this step of adventure must be tried, and success or failure also needs to be tried."
Persistence may also be considered insufficient.
From the first season to the fifth season, some people have been calling for "Tucao Conference" to invite bigger players, and the Tucao should be more ferocious.
But in fact, there are only so many people who can accept their own complaints. Even if they accept the invitation, they are still negotiating with the program team about what they can say and what they can't say.
"If there are too many points to mention, we will decline this guest." Tan Xiaohong said.
Statistically, this experiment is still in progress.
Among the Douban scores, the fifth season of "Tucao Conference", which was broadcasted halfway, currently scores 6.1, which is 0.1 points lower than the fourth season.
The number of participants in the evaluation was 14,696, half less than that in the fourth quarter. The outcome is whether success or failure is unknown.
Perhaps Li Dan saw it more openly, “We didn’t think about what to change this time, so you have a good chance to witness the failure of a variety show with me.” This article/Reporter of this newspaper Zu Weiwei

Demystify
How is the "slot" being "vomited" out?
Beijing Youth Daily: What guests are suitable for the "Tucao Conference"?
Bai Hongyu: After completing the five seasons, we found that guests who have good complaints often have several characteristics. The first is immediacy. His/her slot has just happened, and everyone is still discussing it, such as "Versailles internet celebrity" Meng Qiqi ; Second, he/she has a certain influence in his circle, such as Xu Zhiyuan, Li Jiaqi, and Yi Lijing, they have strong personal attributes.
In addition, these guests have to have very good expressive output. It is not that simple for guests who have these characteristics to get them together at the same time.
Beiqing Daily: How do you make the guests accept that they are being fiercely complained about?
Bai Hongyu: The guests came to "Tucao Conference" to truly show the spirit of Tucao. At the same time, they also settled their past by being Tucao.
In the pre-communication, they also understood that our ridicule and even offense were on the surface, but these were actually humorous ways of resolving contradictions and expressing our hearts, rather than making complaints for the sake of complaining.
Tan Xiaohong: For example, Huang Yi really wants to make complaints this season. Everyone knows that her past life experience has been ups and downs. She is willing to discuss her past with everyone on this stage, laugh right together, and live it in a chic and unrestrained manner. In the rest of her life, her state is also quite adequate in this season of the show.
Beijing Youth Daily: Will the screenwriter team write manuscripts for the guests?
Tan Xiaohong: We have a set of fixed operating procedures.
After inviting the guests, first do an in-depth interview, and then proceed to the basic creation and viewpoint establishment based on his feedback and ideas. The whole process is completed by the screenwriter and the guests together.
Bai Hongyu: The output of the guests' own opinions is very important, and our screenwriter will complete the polishing work.
In addition, each Tucao performance will be divided into two levels: text and performance. Many good texts are in different states for different people. The success or failure and the result mainly depend on his personal expression.

The old fan of the football circle, the newcomer who complains about the circle
The circle next door also delivered ammunition for the "Tucao Conference".
In the seventh episode aired on March 14, the two main coffees, Zhou Qi and Guo Ailun, are both well-known basketball players, but both have deadly "doors."
In 2019, in the World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria, "Asia's No. 1 point guard" Guo Ailun scored only one point. In the match against Poland, "The Devil" Zhou Qi made a mistake in serving and ruined the Chinese team's victory.
In order to "do things", the program team specially invited two coaches, Fan Zhiyi and Yang Ming, as off-court coaches.
One is the captain of the most prosperous era of Chinese football, and the other is Guo Ailun's eldest brother and current coach.
The two people made no room for complaints about their peers and brothers.
Fan Zhiyi said that he was puzzled by Zhou Qi's mistakes, "I can pass the ball with my feet, how did you miss it with your hands?" He commented on Guo Ailun, "It is not easy to score a point in a basketball game. I scored more points in football matches than you." For Yang Ming, he was not merciful, "You have never been in the national team." Similarly, he did not let himself go, "Chinese football is not good for 30 years. Now let me guide the basketball?!"
The all-powerful General Fan won the "enemy general" without leaving, and finally became the guest with the highest heat value in the seventh issue with 128 votes.
