Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Li Haoyu woke up.

He then continued writing the follow-up plan for the annual comedy competition. Although he already had a general framework, he still needed to personally refine many of the details.

This is a process of repeated refinement and modification.

This year's annual comedy competition features only "comedy newcomers" from Li Haoyu, with no intention of focusing on celebrity talent. Actually, removing celebrities has many advantages.

This time it wasn't because of a tight budget.

This time, Outai increased Li Haoyu's budget several times over. To say that they would invite the most popular celebrities would be an exaggeration, but inviting a few A-list celebrities is still a reasonable expectation.

However, celebrities don't always have a positive impact on variety shows. Putting aside the fact that most celebrity guests generally have low performance standards, there are some celebrities who have expressed their opinions.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a disaster.

Li Haoyu still remembers the most memorable scenes from it.

A deeply sorrowful line was abruptly shattered by a scream from a four-character actress, her exaggerated facial expressions and weak delivery of the lines uttered with utter disbelief.

She brought a comedic touch to what was originally a sad line.

If it were truly a comedy show, Li Haoyu would probably give it a perfect score. But unfortunately, it was a competition show that primarily focused on actors' acting skills.

The phrase "ants racing" has been around for ten years.

It's amazing that it became the most talked-about line from an acting show.

Li Haoyu didn't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for himself! He couldn't imagine if this scene appeared on his own program, he would want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

In addition, celebrities are often difficult to please, each of them putting on airs, and they often revise or cut scripts at the last minute, wasting the energy of the actors and editors and adding extra workload for no reason.

The most typical example is variety shows like "Roast Conference".

The Chinese version of "Roast" clearly borrowed from this show. However, "Roast" had a peak at the beginning, but then began a precipitous decline.

The show "Roast Conference" has become a "whitewashing conference" for celebrities. Celebrities come to the show to make fun of themselves, thinking they can wash away their dark history, which makes the show lose its original flavor.

Why do viewers love watching talk shows?

Because of human nature!

Why did "Art Life" decline? Because the old formula of showing photos, reminiscing about childhood, and playing music no longer works.

People are tired of veteran artists who are both virtuous and talented praising each other; audiences just want to see people tear each other apart in a simple and brutal way. That's human nature!

Everyone has a gossipy, voyeuristic streak, and also a rebellious and destructive element at play. Especially when it's a celebrity being criticized and "torn apart," the audience gets even more excited!

Anyone who's been in the entertainment industry for a long time has a few scandals.

In the past, celebrities were very secretive about their schemes. They might accidentally like a post on Weibo about a female star having plastic surgery or someone with poor acting skills; or they might anonymously post on Tianya, pretending to be insiders and revealing dirt on others.

Who doesn't harbor an immense urge to complain?

This is the most appealing aspect of "Roast Conference".

This is actually a common comedic technique in the comedy world. Simply put, it uses teasing and banter to replace praise and commendation, thereby creating a contrasting effect.

If you pay close attention, you can often see this kind of setup in both crosstalk and sketch comedy.

It's just not as blatant.

…………

I drifted off into my own thoughts again.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but tap his head with his pen.

He drew another "x" on the list of celebrities.

Li Haoyu reaffirmed his belief.

This show needs to let its performances speak for themselves. Those celebrity guests who lack substance, acting skills, and public appeal, and who only bring negativity and damage to the show, should just get lost!

He continued writing furiously.

However, Li Haoyu actually started planning variety shows.

He then discovered that things were far more difficult and troublesome than he had believed.

Li Haoyu really enjoyed the variety show "The Annual Comedy Competition". He watched it repeatedly, and before he had an extraordinary memory, he could recite many of the programs and classic lines by heart.

He's a die-hard fan of the show, but Li Haoyu still doesn't like the performance format of the "Annual Comedy Competition".

Ultimately, it couldn't escape the talent show format, which was incredibly vulgar: selection, competition, exams, voting, rankings...

This is no different from Li Haoyu's exam rankings from childhood to adulthood.

Whether it's singing competitions, street dance competitions, rap competitions, basketball competitions, comedy competitions, or acting competitions, they all love playing the ranking game. Some unscrupulous shows even bring in virtual characters from anime and manga.

The next routine is simply to create some trending topics, sensational moments, conflicts, or behind-the-scenes stories.

Li Haoyu didn't even need to guess the script; it was utterly boring. Even if the contestant actually won, so what? Things would still go on as usual; the contestant would still be rehashing old material on various variety shows.

To put it bluntly, most contestants who participate in variety shows can only continue doing odd jobs. Therefore, Li Haoyu plans to reform the original competition format to some extent.

After some consideration, he felt that the format of "The Rap of China Showdown" was more suitable for "The Annual Comedy Competition".

This top-tier comedy league competition format, which features "no mentors/judges, only contestants," also upgrades the show's format, using a head-to-head competition to increase the show's entertainment value and competitiveness.

More importantly, this competition format is significantly less intense than the original. While the atmosphere can still be tense at times, everyone is more focused on their performances. ★🎁 ➅➈𝐬𝒽𝕦χ.ℂσм 🐉♝

Li Haoyu became more and more excited as he thought about it.

He continued to sort out the setting of the annual comedy competition.

correct!

You can also add a collaborative creation component.

As the last word of the variety show planning outline was typed out.

Li Haoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "The planning for the annual comedy competition is finally complete!" Before he knew it, it was already late at night.

As soon as he felt sleepy, he decided to go to bed.

Li Haoyu quickly tidied up the bed and shut down his laptop. He glanced at the time on his wrist; it was already past 3 a.m., time to go to sleep.

Lying on his bed, Li Haoyu casually thought that it wouldn't be long before the "Annual Comedy Competition" would be born in this world!

He turned off the living room light, even though he had fallen asleep quickly earlier.

But after Li Haoyu actually lay down on the bed.

Instead, he couldn't sleep.

Li Haoyu closed his eyes, trying to force himself to sleep. But he didn't know if it was the excitement of finishing the proposal or the absence of Su Qiang's familiar snoring.

Li Haoyu had insomnia.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally drifted off to sleep.

He dreamed that the annual comedy competition was successfully broadcast, and he became a huge star and a behind-the-scenes boss at the TV station.

Lin Miaomiao even wore a school uniform, and while she looked at him with admiration, she massaged him to relieve his fatigue. Then came the indescribable and wonderful thing.

……

The next day when Li Haoyu woke up.

Li Haoyu recalled his erotic dream from last night.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

This is truly a rare occurrence. You see, in his previous world, he was a man who spent his days and nights indulging in revelry. Let alone having erotic dreams, he rarely even had any dreams at all.

After all, after being woken up by girls in "special ways" so many times, who would still dream about erotic things? Of course, they'd go and do it in practice.

After getting up, Li Haoyu lay on the bed in a daze for a while. He felt he couldn't continue to be so pathetic. It wasn't like he lacked the means; Lin Miaomiao was still waiting for him to make his move!

Honestly, I've been using this app to follow my favorite books lately. It lets me switch between different sources, has a variety of reading voice options, and works on both Android and Apple devices.

So Li Haoyu got up, washed his face, and headed straight for Jiangzhou TV station.

Li Haoyu is planning to go find Lin Miaomiao now, as she is currently his only girlfriend. It's only natural for Li Haoyu to go and strengthen their relationship.

……

Li Haoyu arrived at Jiangzhou TV Station.

But he couldn't find Lin Miaomiao.

So he called Lin Miaomiao and found out that Lin Miaomiao had gone to the conference room to write in seclusion, truly perfecting her plan for becoming a super deliveryman.

Li Haoyu touched his chin.

He hadn't expected Lin Miaomiao to be so diligent lately. This wasn't like Lin Miaomiao at all; she was usually so carefree and easygoing. He never expected her to be so dedicated this time.

Could it be that her pride was hurt by her dazzling boyfriend?

Li Haoyu went directly behind Lin Miaomiao, intending to ambush her from behind. But before he could act, Lin Miaomiao suddenly turned around and smiled at Li Haoyu.

"You're so boring, how old are you and you still do this kind of thing all the time?" She looked at Li Haoyu with interest and said, "You didn't learn this kind of cliché from TV dramas, did you?"

Li Haoyu couldn't help but say, "Lin Miaomiao, do you know that women need to learn to play dumb? Girls who are too smart don't have a market."

Lin Miaomiao said, "I'm not the kind of girl who pretends to be innocent when I know everything. If you're not satisfied, you can find someone else!"

After saying that, Lin Miaomiao actually went back to writing her manuscript.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but ask, "Are you abandoning me?"

Lin Miaomiao did not reply to Li Haoyu.

He could see the smile on Lin Miaomiao's lips, a smile that seemed to be a secret mockery of him. This little girl was getting more and more outrageous, but to be honest, Lin Miaomiao's smile was quite pretty.

Her smile is incredibly sweet and charming. It's so exquisite and beautiful, like a real-life Barbie doll. It gives off a feeling of warmth, like the winter sun.

Li Haoyu's Adam's apple bobbed.

He couldn't resist moving closer, hoping to take advantage of the situation.

As Li Haoyu approached, Lin Miaomiao could no longer withstand his intense gaze. Her face flushed red, just like a bride who had just lifted her veil.

Lin Miaomiao glanced at Li Haoyu secretly, then quickly lowered her head again.

"How about we kiss now?"

Li Haoyu suddenly uttered some outrageous words.

This place is not as deserted as it was before; 11 o'clock is now the busiest time.

Lin Miaomiao was also a little confused. "Are you kidding me? Stop fooling around and sit back down."

Li Haoyu clicked his tongue: "What outrageous thing did I say? Isn't this a normal thing? Say it again if you dare."

Lin Miaomiao whispered, "Can I kiss you now?"

Li Haoyu leaned closer. "Alright, since you've asked me, I'll mercifully agree!"

Seeing that Lin Miaomiao didn't react, he whispered in her ear, "Hurry up, I'm waiting."

Lin Miaomiao looked at Li Haoyu's shameless appearance.

Only then did he realize that he had been tricked again.

However, Lin Miaomiao was indeed very flustered. Although the two had gotten quite close in the past few times, and it wasn't the first time they had kissed, this place was different; there were many people coming and going.

Even though she's usually thick-skinned, she couldn't resist now. Even though Li Haoyu and she are now boyfriend and girlfriend, it still takes a lot of courage to be affectionate in public.

Li Haoyu didn't expect it to work.

After all, this was just a joke.

But to Li Haoyu's surprise, he suddenly felt a chill on his face.

Li Haoyu stared wide-eyed in surprise, "Lin Miaomiao actually used her mouth?"

He saw Lin Miaomiao standing to the side with her head held high and a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Lin Miaomiao's unspoken message seemed to be, "You didn't expect this, did you? It's no big deal. Don't underestimate me."

Li Haoyu was planning to retaliate against Lin Miaomiao and teach her a lesson for her arrogance. He wanted to show Lin Miaomiao what truly ruthless methods were.

Just when Li Haoyu wanted to take it a step further.

Su Qiang walked up to the two of them. "Are you two starting to shower this single dog with PDA again?"

It's important to know that Li Haoyu and Lin Miaomiao are currently in a very intimate position. Li Haoyu is leaning against Lin Miaomiao, who is tilting her head back, and what's most noticeable is that her face is flushed.

Li Haoyu knew there was no hope today when he heard Su Qiang's voice.

Of all times, Su Qiang had to come to sabotage Li Haoyu's progress. If it weren't for him being such a third wheel, Li Haoyu might have already reached second base.

Li Haoyu then adjusted his posture and said as if nothing had happened, "You've come at the right time. I have something important to entrust to you."

It's extremely difficult for Li Haoyu to find so many comedy roles in games all at once...

First, a comedian must be talented.

Just based on appearance alone, countless people are eliminated. Comedians are generally not required to be exceptionally handsome or beautiful, but rather to have distinctive features.

Comedy requires making people laugh, and making people laugh often requires performers to sacrifice some of their personal image. If someone is too handsome or too beautiful, they are often afraid of ruining their personal image and are less willing to "debase" themselves to make people laugh.

Some people are born with a natural comedic talent. A prime example is Sauce Explosion from the Kung Fu King; he doesn't need to say a word, just standing there is enough to be a huge laugh!

This is someone born to make a living in comedy.

As for some people who think that comedians don't need acting skills.

This is utter nonsense.

Comedy is supposed to bring joy and be hilarious, but such situations are generally difficult to portray. Most comedies end up being neither fish nor fowl and lacking any comedic quality.

Therefore, comedians actually need more acting skills than regular actors.

Otherwise, the audience would be so embarrassed they'd die.
