After Laihe's simple explanation, Lu Ke finally understood that every guest or host who appeared in front of the camera had to complete the process of dressing up.
The so-called grooming is not makeup as defined by laymen - makeup is just a part of it.
Take Lu Ke as an example. He doesn't need any makeup, no foundation or makeup.
However, he needs to take care of his hair and cannot appear on a TV show with messy hair; he needs to remove oil, because the studio lights are very dazzling and hot. If the guest's face is shiny, the lens will reflect light and affect the scene. Picture effect; he also needs to change clothes and carefully choose a set of clothes for the effect of the show.
All of the above can be considered part of grooming.
Of course, in comparison, Lu Ke's dressing preparation is the simplest, and twenty minutes is enough; but for women, things are much more complicated, and they may often need to advance three hours in advance It even took four hours to arrive at the scene and prepare for the recording of the program, from head to toe.
The "beauty" that is finally presented on the TV screen requires time and energy.
It is precisely because of this that Laihe led Lu Ke to the studio in a leisurely manner without worrying about being late; in fact, Laihe also deliberately arrived at the scene twenty minutes earlier than planned. After all, this was Lu Ke's arrival at the studio. This is Ke's first time recording a TV show, so he still needs to be careful about etiquette.
Raising his head, Lu Ke looked at the studio in front of him curiously. This was definitely the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair.
Lu Ke stood in an open stage background. Directly opposite the entire studio, on the other side, was a tall and large reddish-brown door panel. It was now open, and you could see the staff behind it. The corridors were busy with people coming and going.
To Lu Ke's left is the guest interview stage. The background wall behind looks like the city night view of Los Angeles. A dark red square table and a dark gray sofa are placed side by side; on the right is a stepped auditorium. , you can also see a small band stage at the far end, with keyboards, guitars, drums and other musical instruments placed on it.
That's all.
It looks extremely simple and generous, even a little crude, but this is the form of most American talk shows, because compared to the gorgeous stage scenery, the host and guests are the essence of the show.
Walking along the passage on the left, bypassing the entire stage set, and coming behind the background panel, you can see a completely different scene, with people coming and going and being noisy; in front of you is a T-shaped corridor, with Wooden boards separate each room. From different rooms, you can see the busy scene of staff coming in and out, and there is order in the chaos.
Lu Ke did not forget that the fixed recording location for today's show should be in Los Angeles. This time he made a special trip to San Francisco to accommodate his preparation time, so the studio should also be a temporary studio - even if it is not temporarily built, At least it wasn't the usual venue for the show crew, so the chaos in front of them was not surprising.
Today, Lu Ke is about to start recording a talk show called "The Tonight Show."
In the United States, talk shows are one of the most classic types of television programs, and can even be said to be one of the most popular.
Since the first talk show appeared on the TV screen in 1954, after half a century of development, it has gradually become the most important part of American entertainment culture and social culture. Almost every TV station has inherited more than Thirty years of signature talk show.
For example, NBC's "Saturday Night Live" and "The Tonight Show", such as CBS's "Late Show", and the American cable TV station's "The Daily Show" produced by Comedy Central, have been firmly established in the past fifteen years. It occupies an important position in the top ten of the daily ratings list; of course, there is also the "Oprah Talk Show" which was officially suspended last year.
The American talk show is a relatively special program format, which can be basically divided into several parts. The first is the opening moment, where the host speaks to the camera and the audience; then there are live music performances, guest interviews, special There will be shows, costume sketches, etc., and they will even interact with the audience.
But the most special thing about talk shows is that all the topics in the show are based on current trends, criticizing current affairs, criticizing and ridiculing politics and politicians, which has always been a tradition, which has also made talk shows a part of the social fabric.
According to a survey, during the 2008 election, nearly half of young Americans aged 18 to 29 obtained election-related political information from political talk shows; more than a quarter of adults made decisions about which subjects to vote on. The impact of talk shows. Among them, the most famous late-night talk show in the United States, "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart", was rated as the most trusted news source by the American people, surpassing traditional authoritative media such as "The New York Times" and "Wall Street Journal".
This set of data shows the special status of talk shows. Among the list of the 100 greatest TV programs selected by "Rolling Stone" magazine, two seats in the top ten belong to talk shows, and one is "Weekly" Six Nights Live" and one is "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart".
Generally speaking, American talk shows are divided into daytime talk shows, evening talk shows and network talk shows.
Leaving aside the online talk shows in the era of personal news sources, daytime talk shows are broadcast mainly on weekday mornings, so the main audience is the elderly, women and students, and the topics are also focused on health, emotions, family life, etc. Chicken Soup for the Soul is indispensable, and the overall style is relatively mild.
Most evening talk shows are concentrated in the late night period, and the audience is mainly the middle class and office workers. Thanks to the particularity of the period, the style is mainly sharp, ridiculing, bold, direct, and humorous, with political topics It is always the core of the core, and many times there are no taboos.
Over the past half century, countless outgoing presidents, presidential candidates and politicians have appeared on talk shows. Barack Obama was nicknamed the "talk show president". In 2009, he became the first A sitting president visiting a late-night talk show.
Different from the mature and sensible image that Asian leaders strive to maintain, the American people pay more attention to the demeanor and humor of politicians. Therefore, politicians have chosen the platform of talk shows in order to vote for voters.
During the 2000 election, Gore's campaign team personally admitted to the media that they spent time every day studying the content of several important talk shows, analyzing the flaws, black spots and hot spots, and then making corresponding decisions on their own policies and programs. The corresponding adjustments show its influence.
It is no exaggeration to say that talk shows are an integral part of understanding American culture.
In the past ten years, many professional NFL players have appeared on the guest list of "Saturday Night Live". Peyton Manning and Eli Manning even served as players after winning the Super Bowl. The hosts of the show have shown their own style of humor. This is also one of the best platforms to show the audience the faces of players outside the court.
This time, in order to expand its influence, the league also chose a talk show as its promotional platform, and it chose one of the most popular programs in the United States, "The Tonight Show."
As NBC's flagship program, this program is even known as the stage for the "King of Talk Shows", from the undisputed lofty status of predecessor Johnny-Carson in the industry to successor Jay Leno (Jay-Leno) At the same time, the late-night ratings have remained the same for 19 years, and it has never given up its position as the ratings champion in the same period. This is evident.
In contemporary American society, "The Tonight Show", "Saturday Night Live" and "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" are ranked as the most representative late-night talk shows in the United States, with ratings and influence far exceeding those of daytime talk shows. Show "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
Just this move can give a glimpse of the importance the league attaches to this promotional event.
After yesterday's game, everything happened too fast. Lu Ke didn't have much real feeling yet, but now it is starting to become clear little by little, and he is inevitably a little nervous. After all, everything is unfamiliar, and also... It's not what Lu Ke is best at. Regarding TV programs, I have watched a lot in front of the small screen before, and now I am suddenly going to be a part of it. Besides being nervous, it is also a bit magical.
Under the guidance of the staff, Lu Ke entered the dressing room lounge, and then saw the staff carefully holding the clothes coming and going, the assistant who kept raising his voice to confirm the appearance time, and the assistant who was pacing back and forth to confirm the interview questions. The agent, the second assistant who carefully confirms the fruits and drinks...
Dazzled, this is real dazzled, you don't know where to put your eyes.
It was also a lounge. The team lounge was much simpler and more orderly than the dressing room in front of him. When Lu Ke reacted, he realized that he was holding his breath. This clumsy movement made him feel uncomfortable. He laughed, his tension relieved a little.
Then, Lu Ke saw Emma Watson, the star-studded Emma Watson.
At this moment, Emma raised her head and met Lu Ke's eyes through the makeup mirror. Emma pursed her lips and showed a big smile - the kind of smile that is superficial but not smiling. You can see the smile at the corner of her mouth. She raised the arc, but there was no smile at all. Then, without waiting for Lu Ke's reaction, her smile faded, and then she lowered her gaze again and flipped through the magazine in her hand boredly.
Lu Ke raised his right hand and was about to say hello, but he froze in place, his brows furrowed slightly, and his head was full of question marks. He didn't understand where he had offended this young lady, but...from the first meeting, They're not friends, so that's not surprising, is it?
After hesitating, a punk girl with burgundy hair came towards me, blowing pink bubble gum and walking over with a smile on her face, "So, you are Bambi? Cool, you look better than I thought." Be handsome, I like you.”
The style of the entertainment industry is all this...direct?
