Variety show creation explorers create a new variety show mode to bid farewell to the era of “betting”
At the media viewing party, a special called “Informal Confession: The Youth Past of Variety Shows” evoked many memories of the media and guests present on Chinese variety shows. At the same time, it also shows Douyin’s original intention and determination to deepen the field of variety shows. As Douyin’s annual plan, “Baichuan Variety Season” has a very pioneering and bold innovation in terms of program form and content creation.
Talking about the original intention of creating the show, Song Binghua, head of Douyin variety show, said:
“The current variety show content creators are divided into three dimensions: content creators, content managers, and content operators. People at the three levels have different perspectives on the entire industry. Among them, as a platform content manager , To know how to create an environment that is conducive to content creators to release their creativity, and to view the development of the entire industry from the perspective of content operators. And “Baichuan Variety Season” is the product of the combination of these three dimensions.
At this critical time node about variety shows, three kinds of creators need to have different thinking dimensions. Content, stars, and venues are not the most important things. If you make good use of the ability of platform content managers to protect the creativity and innovation of creators, it is the core value of the content industry.
When we put forward the demand for variety show creation of ‘truth, goodness, beauty and family fun’, we need to find a method or model that both the industry and capital agree on. And through this model, a balance point has been found in capital, market and innovation. This methodology is not new. There are pilot seasons or Test Screening overseas. However, it is the first time that such a large-scale, systematic and scientific experiment “Baichuan Variety Season” has been conducted. “
Relying on the Douyin platform’s 600 million daily active user base, “Baichuan Variety Show Season” will explore a new variety show model with its in-depth insights into variety show creation business and users, and provide more diverse new ideas for the creation of domestic variety show content in the future .
The traditional variety show test in the market usually relies on the production of samples to evaluate and judge whether the program has production value and dissemination value. The fixed viewing environment is far from the user’s viewing habits, and the user’s subjective rating method is also difficult to accurately predict the actual broadcast effect. .
“Baichuan Variety Season” will rely on the natural test of the Douyin traffic pool on the basis of the production sample mode, collect the most authentic and reliable feedback data from users, and use a byte-based data verification system to avoid personal subjective judgments to the greatest extent. Decipher the password for “explosive” content production.
When talking about his understanding of the explosion, Song Binghua, the head of Douyin variety show, made the following analysis:
The “popular style” is a variable in different periods and on different platforms, and there is no absolute value. Taken together, within half a year, one or two projects with the highest playback volume and sound volume in the entire network can be called explosive models. We know that in the past few years, hundreds of programs may be born every half a year, so popular models must be scarce.
For “Hundred Rivers”, I think 0-2 explosions are reasonable. But the probability of occurrence of 0 is the highest. There is no way, this is what statistics tell us.
However, compared with the past method of Somebody’s decision-making for one person or a group of people to decide on a project, the probability of a hit model in Baichuan’s model must be higher.
“Baichuan Variety Season” is produced by Douyin, jointly produced by Beijing Satellite TV, Henan Satellite TV, and Jiangsu Satellite TV. The program’s first sub-variety show “Hundred River Civilizations” will be launched on Douyin at 12:00 on Friday, August 12th. With the broadcast of the program, there will also be more fresh and interesting content on the Douyin platform at 12:00 every Friday, and broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV, Henan Satellite TV, Jiangsu Satellite TV, Xigua Video, Fresh Time TV, Today’s Toutiao, Douyin Volcano Edition, Douyin Extreme Edition and other major platforms have been launched one after another.
