On the evening of August 20, the first episode of the variety show "Talk Show and His Friends" was launched on Tencent Video. Based on the content of the first issue, it is actually a continuation of "Talk Show Conference". The quality of its first issue is relatively high. The m

A few days ago, when I was reviewing another talk show variety show "The King of Comedy Stand-Up Season", I said that this talk show variety show made me feel that talk shows have become more and more vulgar and cross talk, and I can only use myself or His partner was joking. So, in my opinion, the quality of the first issue of "King of Comedy Stand-Up Season" was not good.

According to this theory, let's take a look at "Talk Show and His Friends", it seems to be much better. In the first episode of their program, these talk show actors also like to start with their own affairs, but as they speak, they begin to transcend their own affairs and move on to a more popular matter. Talking about one's own affairs is meaningless. It is the same as making fun of the partner's wife in Sanya cross talk. However, by inferring it from one's own affairs to other matters, it has its own ironic flavor and sociological value.

For example, Xu Zhisheng , while talking about his own affairs, he came up with a concluding statement: We Shandong people don't take the civil service exam. This is to see the level. This is not only talking about oneself, but also a group phenomenon. Whether it is self-deprecation or group ridicule, through this kind of promotion of oneself and others, the talk show content achieves an emotional and cognitive resonance on a broader base.

For another example, a talk show actor talked about himself, how hard it was for him to make money, how his fans didn't help, etc. Later, he immediately said, "How about the talk show brothers..." In fact, I started talking about a phenomenon of fan support and the issue of idols. This kind of talk show has some value.

still gives examples. Among the first episodes of the program, my favorite was a contestant codenamed "Big Country Player". This contestant graduated from the Department of Philosophy. She told a story about a boyfriend who was riding her motorcycle and had an accident. She had no money and had to choose between repairing the motorcycle or rescuing her boyfriend in the hospital. Then, she said, life is like playing chess, to protect the handsome man or to protect the car. Through these so-called personal things, she talked about the sociological phenomenon that it is difficult for philosophy graduates to find jobs. Of course, at present, this is not limited to philosophy departments. If you have a job and make money, how can there be any absurd story about whether you want to protect your handsome man or your car?

Even the last lady said that she opened a talk show club and it was difficult to sell tickets, so she referred to the entrepreneurial stories of major female entrepreneurs and found that they all cheated after divorce. Then, the young lady began to satirize those divorced people, and even satirized those variety shows with divorce as the main theme. These satires are very accurate. These are no longer simply telling one's own stories, but identifying many common contents from one's own stories, and satirizing these common contents to achieve comedy effects.

So, what I’m talking about here is no longer about which talk show is good, but about a methodology for making good talk shows - talk shows that only make fun of themselves are meaningless. By making fun of yourself, you can achieve a greater level. Ridiculousness is a good talk show. Using this methodology to look at "Talk Show and Her Friends", you can see that this variety show is good-looking, interesting, and can be followed.(Text/Ma Qingyun)
