Chapter 22 Chapter 3 Learn by doing

Being a host is my ideal, and I am willing to do anything that can realize this ideal, as long as it is good.If you can't do a prime-time show, you start with an ordinary show. If you can't make it to the big stage, you start with a warm-up host. Only by keeping your loneliness can you see the future. Let’s just talk about the warm-up host who will never enter the TV screen. There are several characteristics of recording and broadcasting programs: multiple shows, staying up late and box lunches.Multiple shows means that we will record several episodes consecutively in a period of time, such as Valentine’s Day on February 14 and Women’s Day on March 8, we may record on the same day.Directors, guests, hosts, and audiences all have to treat the day of recording as the day of the show, and make sure to create the emotions they should have on the day when there should be no corresponding emotions.

Needless to say, staying up late.The one-and-a-half-hour programs that you usually watch on TV may take four or five hours to record. There are many consecutive recordings, each of which takes so much time, and it is common to stay up late.Box lunch is a common meal, and we can’t be hungry for such a long time, so box lunch has become our "close lover". Fortunately, the host said that he was used to it, but the audience is not hardcore. Very few audiences have the experience of recording two consecutive shows. easy.So what to do?There must be a warm-up host to "provoke" the atmosphere.I'm the warm-up host.

After the audience is seated, several cameras adjust their positions, the director uses headsets to command, and the cameramen in different positions take pictures respectively, and see the best view effect of each machine from the monitoring screen.When there are no problems with the lens and camera position, I should go out. Coming to the studio to record a program is very new to most people. The audience may whisper or look around. If these situations occur during the recording of the program, it will greatly affect the broadcast effect. It is my job to avoid these situations. In advance, I will have a general understanding of the audience who will come to record the program, at least know what unit they come from, their approximate age group, etc.Then turn on the microphone and say "Hello" a few times. On the one hand, it is to cooperate with the sound engineer to adjust the sound, and on the other hand, it is to attract the attention of the audience.

Next, I will explain to you the precautions when recording, such as not looking at the camera, not looking around, and focusing on the stage... Of course, this cannot be a boring lecture, it must be interesting and make the audience laugh and listen. Going in is the "kingly way". Before the recording of the program officially starts, I will use my hands to draw ten numbers from 1 to 10 to remind the audience to pay attention.At this time, the enthusiasm of the audience will be mobilized, and the audience applauds thunderously. In fact, they don't know that the applause has been recorded and may be edited in different ways in the final broadcast. middle.Under normal circumstances, I would expect the director to say "yes", otherwise I and the audience will have to do it again.

It’s okay if the audience is young, energetic and able to last longer.If you are an elderly person, if you persist for two or three hours, you will inevitably stagger and yawn again and again.If the audience gets too depressed, I have to play again. When the audience's emotions are up, the host and other aspects are ready, and the recording can finally start, and everyone will see the opening scene that is often seen on TV.And I have already stepped down to make way for the host. In this way, countless brief appearances on the stage, the audience is new, and I do the same things.It looks a bit sad, but I regard it as experience.In fact, I did not leave after stepping down, I was reluctant to leave.

Every time, I watched quietly from the side, imagining how I would perform if I were on stage, or ran to the cameraman to see how they adjusted the aperture, how to adjust the focus, how to fix the focus, how to move the camera position, Or go to the director's room to see how they switch screens, when to switch, and how to communicate with the host.At the beginning, I "laid" on the recording site and did not leave, and I really learned a lot. At that time, I not only liked to "wander" on the scene, but also liked to go to the studio to learn.Speaking of it, the director's room is a very interesting place, and the directors like to comment on the host during the recording of the program.Of course, when they commented, they didn't turn on their headphones.

I often sat in the director's room and listened to their opinions and suggestions on different program hosts, and slowly gained some experience, understanding what the hosts are like in the eyes of the audience, cameraman and director.It is also because of this that I have always had a very good relationship with the director and cameraman, and they welcome me to "steal a teacher to learn art" at any time.Learning has always been what I have pursued all my life, whether it is learning from books, learning from others, or realizing it by myself.Many things seem to be useless, but once you master what you have learned, it will definitely affect your own hosting style, making the hosting more full and more humane.
