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

They began to use their own methods, like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

So, the people who came to Li Haoyu for interviews later on not only became increasingly high-ranking, but their methods also became increasingly sophisticated. They used a combination of persuasion and pressure.

A newbie in the workplace like Su Qiang simply couldn't refuse.

Su Qiang was no longer in a position to make the decision.

He could only ask Li Haoyu for his opinion.

Li Haoyu also found the situation somewhat tricky, as the actors were at a crucial stage of rehearsals. He didn't plan to let them out anytime soon, though he himself was fine with giving interviews.

Most importantly, so many TV stations invited them.

He couldn't possibly agree to them all.

After all, he is just one person with limited energy. Right now, the "Annual Comedy Competition" is at a crucial moment in the race for first place, and he doesn't have that much time and energy to accept so many interviews.

But it wouldn't be good if none of them went, since we don't know how those people manage to pull some strings.

Several requests even came from the station director, Ou Tai. Although he didn't explicitly say that Li Haoyu absolutely had to participate, he suggested that Li Haoyu participate in a few programs as soon as possible, if conditions allowed.

In retrospect, Jiangzhou TV Station owed them a favor, so now they're helping each other out. The station director's words were so humble that Li Haoyu couldn't very well refuse outright.

Therefore, after some consideration, Li Haoyu did not reject all the invitations.

After all, Li Haoyu isn't fighting alone anymore; he has a group of people under him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't give them face, but Su Qiang and his group will inevitably have to deal with them.

Let's give them some face; after all, we'll need their help later. It's always good to build positive relationships.

We're all in a position of power, so let's give each other some face! Otherwise, if something happens later, we won't even have anyone to speak up for us.

Li Haoyu decided to choose one or two well-regarded talk shows to attend! He first ruled out shows like "Lu Yu You Yue" that were magical and involved in cause and effect; Li Haoyu wasn't as stubborn as some people.

Although we can't bring all the comedians, we can still select a few popular actors from those who have already rehearsed and recorded their performances to go with us.

This is actually a win-win situation. The other party gains viewership, and we can also boost the show's popularity, which is equivalent to indirectly promoting the show.

With no other options, Li Haoyu and several comedians began rushing from one performance to another.

Actually, the formula for interview programs is pretty much the same. It's nothing more than the interview program production team discussing the interview content with Li Haoyu in advance, then sitting down to chat, and finally editing it. That's roughly the formula.

The format is nothing new; interview programs are undoubtedly a very "old" program format. They use a minimalist approach to get straight to the heart, exploring the interviewee's truest thoughts through face-to-face dialogue. Information gathering is simple and direct. 🐝ൠ 😝🌷

Therefore, whether a program is successful or not basically depends entirely on the performance of the host and guests.

Li Haoyu had participated in many interview programs before, and he was even more familiar with some of the interview routines than the hosts themselves.

In fact, no matter how things change, there are only three basic types.

There are three feelings associated with conversations: conversations with acquaintances, conversations with semi-acquaintances, and conversations with strangers.

In conversations between acquaintances, the interviewer and the interviewee are generally familiar with each other and may even have a certain personal relationship. In such an interview program, the audience will feel a significant sense of relaxation, and the program will be very lively.

The advantage of this type of interview is that the interviewees are truly familiar with each other, know where the bottom line is, and therefore have a sense of propriety. Also, because of their close personal relationship, the atmosphere is generally very good.

Because of their deep understanding, they may "suddenly" reveal some new secrets, thereby creating topics for the show.

As for conversations between semi-acquaintances, that means the interviewer and the interviewee are merely acquaintances, far from being familiar with each other, but there will still be some overlap.

Such interviews can certainly have a certain novelty, but if not handled well, they can also create a noticeable sense of distance.

Talking to strangers goes without saying, as it maximizes curiosity. None of these three conversation styles is inherently superior or inferior; each has its own advantages and disadvantages, as well as its own points of interest and audience.

But Li Haoyu is simpler, because he is basically invisible in the entertainment industry.

When Jiangzhou TV's "Mid-Autumn Festival Magical Night" became a huge hit, the most popular people were the female dancers. Each of them gained hundreds of thousands of followers, but Li Haoyu's personal fan base remained very small.

Li Haoyu didn't say anything before, but he was actually furious inside.

Although Li Haoyu didn't expect to gain many followers, the obvious gap was truly disrespectful. Lin Miaomiao even laughed at him for a long time. He was a man of pride; he wouldn't sacrifice his dignity for anything.

So, Li Haoyu went all out in the following interview. He didn't need the host to guide him at all; he started telling jokes and stories, and even occasionally "teased the audience."

He's more like a host than the host himself.

This delighted the directors of those talk show production teams.

In their view, no matter how talented Li Haoyu is, he is still very young and inexperienced. Furthermore, having never been on a talk show before, it's already impressive that he wasn't nervous.

To their surprise, Li Haoyu was much more "interesting" than they had imagined. For example, when a host asked Li Haoyu why he chose to become a producer...

Li Haoyu didn't give any lofty reasons.

Instead, he said that he became a producer because he no longer wanted to make ordinary scripts.

"This way, I can sleep in without a care in the world, and I don't have to worry about endless meetings. I can also take control of my own destiny..."

Some people also asked why Li Haoyu spoke so little on his own show, "The Annual Comedy Competition".

Li Haoyu explained, "Is it possible that I'm not very educated and don't know how to speak well, so I'm worried about making a fool of myself?"

Upon hearing this, the beautiful female host opposite her widened her eyes.

She opened her mouth wide and asked the following question out of curiosity.

"You're not very educated?"

Li Haoyu nodded and said seriously, "Actually, many film critics say that my program is concise and not long-winded, but that's because I know a principle."

"When you can't speak properly, just shut up. Doing nothing means you won't do anything wrong. Don't try to be clever and add things that you think the audience will like."

As soon as Li Haoyu said this:

Even the usually serious-looking female host couldn't keep up the act.

She laughed heartily, and her final act of professionalism was simply to cover her mouth with her hand to keep her smile from revealing her teeth. This was just the tip of the iceberg of Li Haoyu's improvisation.

Li Haoyu always pulls off a lot of tricks in every interview program.

This delighted the producers of those talk shows.

It's no exaggeration to say that Li Haoyu's performance alone carried the entire talk show's comedic effect. Even in interviews with more serious topics, Li Haoyu's performance was flawless.

The most representative program is "Encounter" hosted by Yi Lijin, a female host who became a sensation for her sharp questions.

She asked Li Haoyu, "Why did you choose to produce a comedy variety show? 'Mid-Autumn Festival Wonderful Night' is a show I really like. It not only has excellent content but also has humanistic care."

"Why can't I see it on the annual comedy competition? Is this a compromise made by commercialization?"

Li Haoyu listened to the female host's question.

He couldn't help but frown.

He simply couldn't understand how this woman in front of him could have been voted the best interviewer. At this point, Li Haoyu really couldn't hold back anymore.

Is it really true that in times of scarcity, even a nobody can rise to fame?

In fact, Li Haoyu had been patiently answering him for quite some time.

However, all her questions lacked both intellectual depth and social relevance. A good interviewer should guide the interviewee to address issues of social concern, showcasing a multifaceted portrait of the person.

In interviews, the focus should be on the interviewee, not the reporter, and the reporter's subjective stance and judgment should be avoided as much as possible.

Because once a reporter has a preconceived bias, the entire interview loses its original news value.

The show doesn't present the characters themselves to the audience, but rather a "monkey show".

The most typical example is when a well-known female host interviewed an academician, and the two discussed environmental issues. The academician suggested that emission rights should be allocated according to population, which would be a fair approach.

At the time, the female host asked what she thought was a sharp question: "We are a populous country. If we multiply that number, wouldn't the base number be enormous?"

The academician, not one to tolerate her, immediately retorted, "I'm asking you, aren't Chinese people human beings? Why should the same Chinese person be given fewer places in the queue?"

Is there a mainstream among scientists?

Is science defined by the number of people involved?

This is actually the same as Yi Lijin's visit to Li Haoyu today.

The well-known female host's question: She presumptuously assumed a position, only to be powerfully countered by the academician.

She didn't lose because of a lack of knowledge, but because she exposed her own violation of the principles of objectivity and neutrality as a journalist.

Yi Lijin went even further than the previous female host.

The reason her interview made Li Haoyu feel so uncomfortable was that she deliberately made things difficult from a God-like perspective, first presenting a "presumption of guilt" and intentionally setting a trap:

Her usual tactic is to use her personal subjective conclusions to refute the interviewer's explanation, or to skip the explanation of wealth points and move directly to the next question to continue setting traps.

In this way, the audience, without being rejected, enters the next "presumption of guilt" stage based on the original assumption of the previous question, continuing to dig and bury traps in an endless cycle, pressing step by step until the other party's psychological defenses collapse.

Ultimately, there are only two possible outcomes: either you lose your temper and desperately try to explain, or you become furious.

At this point, ignorant onlookers would say, "See? He's got a guilty conscience, he's getting desperate."

Or if you follow his logic and admit to the pre-set crime, you will start to doubt yourself. At this time, the ignorant onlookers will say, "Look, she is starting to see through the hypocrisy again."

But this little trick simply wouldn't work on Li Haoyu, a seasoned veteran.

He could tell that Yi Lijin was there to cause trouble.

Then let's do it!

When faced with Yi Lijin's question, Li Haoyu responded directly, "I think what you said is wrong."

Li Haoyu didn't tolerate her at all and retorted directly.

"How can you say that comedy shows lack humanistic content?"

You know, many things in life can actually be summed up in a few jokes. Besides, life is really tough, isn't it precious to make the audience laugh?

Yi Lijin faced Li Haoyu's counter-question.

She was speechless for a moment.

She rarely encountered guests who dared to ask such questions, but she didn't want to give up easily. Trying to find a flaw in Li Haoyu's argument, she continued to press, saying, "Is this what you're trying to explain?"

Li Haoyu smiled. "Does this need explaining? This is my value system, and my work is the best proof of that, isn't it?"

"I'm a program producer. 'Mid-Autumn Festival Night' and 'The Annual Comedy Competition' are my answers to the audience. Do I need to explain anything more?"

Yi Lijin continued to try and create a dig, asking, "Is this your attitude when representing the younger generation?"

Li Haoyu glanced at the woman in front of him.

She really has ulterior motives!

Most people might be delighted to hear her say that, since few would refuse to represent young people. But little do they know that if they readily agree, they'll be playing right into her hands.

This is actually a huge trap; they're using seemingly harmless words to try and lure Li Haoyu into it.

Many people would probably instinctively say, "I think we young people should..."

But few people realize that behind this lies an abyss, and they inexplicably fall into group conflict.

Li Haoyu could even guess Yi Lijin's next sentence.

"Is this your protest against the current state of society?"

Actually, the solution is quite simple: you must have the final say in what you say, instead of letting the other person define it for you.

Anyone who actively interprets your words with terms ultimately aims to use them to destroy you.

Li Haoyu continued, "I don't think I represent anyone; this is just my personal opinion. A thousand people will have a thousand different interpretations of Hamlet; everyone has their own perspective and thoughts."

"I used to have a bad habit of trying to justify my own correctness with my ideas. Later I realized that it was actually unnecessary."

"When everyone only sees different aspects of the same thing, each person's perspective is actually correct, and combining them can help us understand the thing more comprehensively."

"Ms. Yi Lijin, do you think what I said is correct?"

Yi Lijin fell silent after listening.

Seeing this, Li Haoyu did not press his advantage.

Li Haoyu glanced at his watch; the recording time had already far exceeded the allotted time. There should be enough footage for editing, and it was time to end the interview.

The producer, seeing that there was a potential climax, leisurely came over to smooth things over. The cameraman next to him also turned off his camera and started chatting casually.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Haoyu looked at Yi Lijin, who remained silent.

He said softly, "You're actually quite good, but you lack a bit of empathy. An interview is essentially about connecting with people. If you changed your interviewing style, it might be more unique."

After saying that, Li Haoyu didn't wait for Yi Lijin's reaction.

They simply drove off.
