Needless to say, "Kimchi Country" does have a way of filming variety shows.
can not only make popular content such as countryside, love and marriage, and music into industry leaders, but also create unique new life for unpopular travel programs.
such as this.
Late at night, on the streets of Africa where drizzle is falling, the owner of a roadside stall holds an umbrella in one hand and cooks instant noodles with the other.
In front of the stall, a Korean guy who didn't understand the language spent a long time gesticulating around him, and finally waited for half a basin of instant noodles mixed with rainwater.
The boy squatted on the roadside, devouring the food with tears in his eyes.
Who would have dared to think that such a desolate and sensational scene is not a movie, but a reality show.
A crowded beach.
A passing Korean boy was attracted by the raging boxing match, so he squeezed through the crowd and squeezed into the front row to watch the excitement.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally entered the contestants' box.
Two handsome young men, one second they were leisurely tourists, the next second they were beaten into confusion.
makes people laugh out loud, but at the same time, they have to admit that the brother next door is indeed good at plastic surgery.
Such a beautiful "treasure program" must be given to you -
"Traveling the World Since I was Born"
The program started last year and has been updated to the third season. The word-of-mouth rating is "off the charts" ", from 9.1 points, 9.4 points to an astonishing 9.6 points, higher and higher every season, and from time to time being reminded to update from a distance.
Why is this travel reality show so popular among well-informed netizens?
To sum up, there are actually two keywords: " funny " and " cure ".
The laughter mainly comes from the guy mentioned above " Qian84", who is the main star of the show.
Qian, who was born in 1984, was originally a cartoonist. In 2016, he began to record variety shows across borders. Unexpectedly, he unlocked his comedy talent and is now the mainstay of several popular shows in South Korea.
The "Traveling the World Since I was Born" series has been refreshed again and again mainly because of him.
Qi'an revitalizes the unique skills of this show, focusing on a easy-going .
According to the order of the program, say "OK" first.
After this guy arrived at the first stop of his trip, Antananarivo (the place name of the African island country of Madagascar), he suddenly thought of going to a nearby small island Morondava for a walk.
As a tourist city with a less developed economy and transportation, Antananarivo Airport arranged a special plane to transfer this guest from afar.
There is sincerity, and the appearance is sufficient. However, the special plane looks different from what you imagined, and is even a bit scary.
Qian was shocked when he saw the plane for the first time, but he was optimistic because he just frowned slightly and accepted the reality. He exuded a Buddhist spirit of resignation.
But bad luck did not let him go.
With the welcome ceremony of lightning and thunder one after another, the captain couldn't stand it anymore and discussed with him: I'm afraid I won't be able to fly today, how about we go early tomorrow?
Tomorrow is tomorrow. The easy-to-talk guy didn't change his face. He picked up his mobile phone and ordered a hotel, took a taxi, and bargained with the driver, although he didn't succeed in the end.
After checking in, he even went out in the rain to eat instant noodles, a local specialty.
Optimistic people will not have bad luck.
Although the special plane carrying Qi'an is a bit shaky when you sit on it, there is no fixed frame, and there is no stewardess; but it can't stand the captain. He is reliable, goes through security checks, serves meals, explains the scenery, and drives the plane. The handsome and enthusiastic captain is not only good at everything It provided all the services that should be available on board and delivered him to his destination safely and efficiently.
The process was a bit tortuous, but this guy managed his emotions steadily from beginning to end, which is really impressive.
Let’s talk about “eating”.
When you think of Africa, what do you think of first? Go barefoot, wear a grass skirt around your waist, eat raw meat, and sleep in the open air?
Qian probably thought the same way before, so the first meal he had in Morondava was to do as the Romans do in town.
When faced with the local delicacies, this guy didn't say anything. He just sat on the ground and started showing off on the sand. He saw a fly floating in the soup, picked it up with his hands, and continued eating as if nothing had happened.
Barrage: After all, he is a great god who drank water from the Ganges (India where the show went in the last season).
After a slightly embarrassing lunch experience, Qi’an did not gain any wisdom after eating it. He continued his efforts in the afternoon and unlocked a Korean acrobatic trick for a local friend, tearing sashimi by hand.
The operation method is direct and simple. Just cut the freshly caught sea fish into two pieces with bare hands, tear off the skin, dip it in vinegar and spicy sauce, and then inhale it.
The process is skillful and smooth, completed in one go.
While eating, he greeted the local guys, come on, you guys can try it too.
(local brother’s inner thoughts): Where did this savage come from?
The expressions on the two brothers’ expressions at this time must be playing me.
Let’s talk about “live”.
If you think that catching flies with your bare hands and tearing sashimi with your hands is the limit of Qian, you are wrong.
Facts have proved that this guy often surprises (scares) the audience unexpectedly, and often even he himself does not know at which second.
That night, Qi'an was invited by a local friend to have a party at his house, and he naturally did not hesitate to give in as he was familiar with them.
After a few bottles of beer and a few rounds of casual chats, the local guys began to leave with sleepy eyes, leaving only the vacant-eyed owner looking at him blankly.
Because the place where he spits and talks is the bedroom where others sleep.
Although he still had more to say, Qi'an still respected the local customs and simply said "good night" to the host and lay down on the spot.
In less than a minute, I was already snoring like thunder.
The poor host finally managed to get back to his bed, but was tortured by this Korean friend’s passionate snoring that kept him awake all night. During this period, he got up secretly several times to observe, worrying whether this guy was cold or sick. .
(Qi'an): I'm not cold, I'm not sick, I'm just sleepy.
We all know that people who are away from home all year round are more adaptable, but people like Qian who eat when they are hungry and sleep when they are sleepy, who do not care about the environment or taste at all and still enjoy it, not only many netizens do not I have seen it before, and even my distant African brothers could only silently kneel down when they saw it.
In addition, this brother also has the characteristic of being a "social cow".
For example, when he ate with bare hands in a public place and attracted onlookers, he not only acted as if nothing happened, but also greeted the onlookers while commenting on the taste of the food.
Those who knew he was recording a program, but those who didn’t know thought he was doing a mukbang.
When I met a local man on the road, he smiled and nodded frequently to greet them, as if he was a neighbor he met every day.
was invited to a local party. His companions were still hesitant and shy, but he had already blended in and firmly occupied the C position.
makes people sigh, he is really suitable for this program.
This is the difference between social fear and social bully.
She may be able to make a group of people’s trip look like one person, but Sheniu can make a person’s trip look like a team building.
But Sheniu is Sheniu, and the most admirable thing about Qi'an is that his familiarity and openness are just right, making people comfortable without feeling that he has crossed the line.
and has strong empathy .
went to a local's home as a guest. He was empty-handed and wanted to make up for his apology by taking out the only three pieces of clothing in his luggage and letting the host choose as he pleased.
Although his face was full of entanglement and reluctance, he acted without any hesitation.
A local boy Laura built a new boat by himself. After reading it, Qi An thought of his younger brother: If his younger brother buys his first car in his life, he will definitely want someone to bless him.
So he used his own skills to draw a smiling dolphin on Laura's boat, wishing him that all his wishes would come true and he would always be lucky in the future.
These delicate and heart-warming clips are not only enjoyable to watch, but also show the warm and kind side of Qi'an very well.
is both attentive and popular.
In addition to the guest activities, another highlight of the program is the all-round display of local customs and customs.
Madagascar is located in Africa and is one of the least developed regions in the world.
"Africa" plus "underdeveloped" are particularly easy to associate with two words, original .
But actually.
Take Morondava, which Qian went to in the show, as an example.
Male residents on the island generally wear jerseys, and women usually wear long skirts. During the day, they will apply a facial mask made of tree bark + pigment on their faces.
lived in a straw hut built on the beach. It was long and thin, with a pointed roof and drafty walls. Except for being separated by thatch, the inside and outside of the house are all the same sandy ground underfoot.
The function of the straw shed is that it is a living room, dining room, and leisure area during the day, and it becomes a bedroom for the family when it is tidied up at night.
There is no electricity on the island, so the local people still follow the natural law of sunrise and sunrise. Even a rare and huge party was held in the dark by a large group of people. (The side explains why they were so sleepy that night when they were guests in Qian)
What is surprising is that their eating habits are similar to those in East Asia.
For example, fish, the local cooking methods are still frying, stewing, and roasting, which is not what many people think of just catching and eating.
Because of this, they were shocked by Qian's vigorous operation of shredding fish fillets.
Usually they also eat rice, drink coffee, and cook rice with fish soup. They also have a strong wine table culture like Asia.
Tableware for holding food are also familiar basins, bowls, and even enamel cups.
From the perspective of eating habits and etiquette in interacting with people, their level of civilization is no worse than other places.
Local people make a living by fishing, and shipbuilding is a career that every household is busy with throughout their lives.
Their desire for boats is like our obsession with houses.
A person who is busy all his life must have a house of his own. For them, it means that a person must have a boat of his own throughout his life.
For local people, shipbuilding is not only the fulfillment of dreams, but also the guarantee of future life.
After every new ship is built, a grand entering ceremony will be held, which can last for at least two days and one night, and at most three days and two nights.
The specific operation is that everyone comes to drink and dance around the new ship. When they are tired, they sleep and dance again when they wake up. After the jump, everyone works together to push the new boat into the sea with manpower, and the entire ceremony is completed.
Taking this opportunity, young people can also communicate with each other and communicate with each other. If they are lucky, they may be able to find the other half of their lives.
Life is simple and seems leisurely, but it still cannot stop the anxiety spreading around the world.
Due to isolation and backwardness, local children generally do not read much and drop out of school early to learn fishing. Everyone’s dream is simple and sincere: own a big boat, catch lots and lots of fish, and you have to go there every day, otherwise you have no money.
People can’t help but lament that as a human being, we can’t escape competition and anxiety no matter where we are.
It is said that sincerity is the eternal nirvana.
After watching this show, you will find that as long as you are attentive and sincere enough, it is not that difficult to make a popular and high-scoring variety show.
Because all the perfunctory or routines are natural and real, the audience can feel it from the details of every aspect of the program.
Netizens' requirements for variety shows are actually very simple: no need to add value, no need to make chicken soup. Life is already tiring enough, so when we have time, let's try to relax and decompress. If it happens to be a little funny, it's almost like winning the jackpot.
Coincidentally, this show actually has these sure-fire tricks for attracting fans.
How can he not be popular? # Truth Tells#
