The full text is 43 18 words, and the reading time is about 4 minutes.

Recently, the network comprehensive "Star Detective" suddenly went on a hot search in Weibo. Interestingly, this time it was not the stars who participated in the variety show, but eight talking dolls that caused a hot discussion among netizens.

These dolls hide important clues to the case and will suddenly speak. In the program, He Jiong shouted "This doll is too scary", and the horrible atmosphere created made the guest Yang Rong "scared out of goose bumps". Netizens have said that they are scared to have nightmares, and they don't know where these horrible dolls were bought.

Recall that when domestic variety shows just emerged, the audience paid more attention to the performance of stars in the programs. In recent years, the "eye-opening" audience has higher and higher aesthetic requirements for scenery and props, and the competition between programs has become increasingly fierce. Therefore, the props that were neglected in the past have become more and more sophisticated, and some programs have won the audience's love by virtue of "anti-heaven props".

However, people still know little about the behind-the-scenes of variety props.

How are these props designed and made? What kind of place is the prop group? Where are all the used props?

The Beijing News reporter interviewed the directors and props of three variety shows, Star Detective, Super Brain and Crossing Bar, to unveil the mystery of variety props for you.

How difficult is it to build a road?

Props in variety shows,

As small as a coin, as large as a magnificent building,

If you want to be consistent with the plot,

Both design and production need to consume a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

▲ "Super Brain" Prop Tie-dyed Cloth Prop Representative-"Super Brain"

The most difficult prop to prepare is nail art, with 654.38+00,000 nails nailed by hand.

As a representative of the "big props" of domestic variety shows, the average cost of props for each program of Super Brain is about 200,000-300,000 RMB. From the first season, "Super Brain" and "Big Prop" went together.

Director Jiang of "Super Brain" told reporters: "In the first season, we spent more than100000 props and didn't smash stars, because we know that this program uses props to set off players, not popular stars."

For "super brain", money is second, and what is more extravagant is the cost of manpower and time. Those props that only appear in the program for more than ten minutes often take many people months to complete.

▲ The Lego Kingdom in Super Brain, such as the Lego Kingdom that wowed the audience, consists of more than 80,000 Lego parts, including 30 independent scenes, 100 Lego dolls, more than 500 groups of green vegetation, and the largest MOC church in China. This "kingdom" was built by more than a dozen Lego engineers, and it took 12 hours a day and more than a month to complete. Director Jiang told reporters that Lego can only support the challenge if it reaches this level, and the audience's first reaction after seeing it will be "Wow!"

Speaking of the most difficult props to prepare, director Jiang's first reaction was that each painting had to draw an average of 25,000 nails.

▲ "Super Brain" nail painting was originally intended to be done by machine, because there are more than 6,543.8+00,000 nails to be nailed. But later, the prop team found that the machine could not complete such an accurate delay, and finally chose pure manual. The eight staff members of the program group keep hammering nails for hours every day. After nailing, it will be calibrated and checked by a special person, even by high-tech progressive scanning. But because it was too small, several nails were not found in the end. This tiny mistake was actually discovered by the players during the competition-this is also one of the biggest highlights of Chaonao.

Real representative-let's cross.

Tomatoes and green peppers appeared in the stalls in the Song Dynasty and were taken off the shelves one by one.

Different from "Super Brain", the difficulty in preparing props for the historical reality show "Let's Cross" lies in the huge number of props and group performances, which is also in line with historical facts.

▲ "Crossing the Bar" programs, such as "Crossing the Ming Dynasty Qijiajun", have more than 800 people in the group performance alone, far exceeding many costume TV dramas. Moreover, in order to truly restore the life in the military camp, the spears, bows and arrows used in the program are all genuine weapons. These real weapons can't be bought, they all need props to make. Qi Jiajun's military camp was originally a garbage dump. More than 70 workers leveled the wasteland and built Amin dynasty barracks one by one. With such a large investment, the cost of a single-stage prop of Let's Cross is as high as 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.

In addition to the huge number, the props of "Let's Cross" also strive for perfection in historical details. Zhang Long, executive director of the program, said that they did not regard the furnishings in the program as "props", but actually prepared them as objects at that time, and "truthfulness" was the first principle. In the early stage of shooting, the screenwriter will conduct strict textual research on the artifacts, makeup and costumes of this historical period, and a large number of pictures obtained from the textual research will be put into the script, such as porcelain in the Song Dynasty and makeup in the Tang Dynasty. According to the requirements of the script, the director of props will make a table of the shapes and quantities of all props involved in the script, and then finalize them with professional props teachers. Five days before shooting, the director group will check and accept the props again. In order to ensure the accuracy of history, the director group also specially invited doctors of history from major universities to form a historical researcher advisory group to correct mistakes. For example, in the episode "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", historical researchers and directors found that tomatoes, green peppers and other foods that should not have appeared in the Song Dynasty appeared on the booth furnishings, so they were removed one by one.

The directors even conducted textual research and debate on whether there were onions in the Song Dynasty, which is also controversial in the history circle. After many textual research and discussions, the director group came to the conclusion that "there may have been onions in some areas of the Song Dynasty", and then the "onion with spicy eyes" appeared in guest Jim's program.

"History is the basis of doing this program. Restoring history requires rigorous textual research. Many viewers may not notice these details, but I think the appearance and reputation of a program are accumulated by careful care. I hope "Let's Cross" can become a relatively serious program. Every detail is a requirement for yourself and an attitude towards history. " Executive Director Zhang Long said.

Props represent more-detective stars

Deliberately create "five-hair special effects" and increase the program "laughter"

Each program is characterized by a large number of props. The first stage of the program has thousands of props, large and small, and it takes more than 30 people to work for it for half a month to complete. The process of finding and making props requires a "brain hole" For example, before preparing for the eleventh recording, the list of props purchased from the Internet accounted for about 60 pages of A4 paper, each with 4 to 5 items on it.

Back to the "horror dolls" at the beginning, Shi, the prop artist of "Star Detective", told reporters that finding these horror dolls that have been searched hot is a "long story that ends in one second". A prop director searched Taobao for dolls for a long time, but found no keywords such as retro dolls, silicone dolls, doll toys, Teletubbies and European dolls. Another director sitting on the side suddenly opened his brain and entered "Talking Baby" before finally buying a horror doll that kept netizens awake at night.

In "Wonderful Night at the Museum", the guests found a flat golden wooden board without words at the scene, which was puzzling. After discovering the iron powder, they blew the iron powder onto the board, and the words "Grave robber, blood dead" suddenly appeared on the board. This prop has achieved good results in the program.

But this prop is difficult to make. At first, the prop maker embedded the smallest button magnet in a zigzag pattern in the board, and then covered it with a layer of board. As a result, the magnetic force is too small to form handwriting. Later, I scraped putty powder repeatedly on the glyph until it was smooth, and then poured iron powder, which was still difficult to attach. After trying many ways, we finally cut it into fonts with a special disk, scraped it again and painted it again, and it was perfectly presented.

Another example is the corpse NPC (non-player character), which will appear in every program. The owner will consult professionals in various fields first, and carefully consider and confirm the time of death, wound size, area, direction, skin color, amount of bleeding, etc. So as to ensure the rationality and high reduction of the death mode required by the script.

▲ The proprietor made the charred corpse, and then quickly restored NPC with makeup, wound, plasma and death mode about one hour before the recording of the program, and then finalized it after being confirmed by the general director, role group and screenwriter. -Only such a "fresh" corpse can there be a "legal report" autopsy of Sa Beining, a "dog-headed detective" in each issue.

Compared with the strict requirements of props in "Let's Break Through the Customs", the detective star deliberately created a "fifty cents ps" and flexibly used funny details such as online jokes to increase the "laughs" of the program. Every character in "Horrible Nursery Rhyme" has a bottle of medicine, and the adverse reaction on the bottle cap says "Little fist beats his chest"; There are actually two passengers, Yellow Crane and Sister-in-law, on the passenger list of the midnight train. The books in The Princess Married are called Seduction Dafa and Autumn Palace Map. ................................................................................................................................................................

Where are you going after the festival catalogue?

Making time-consuming, laborious and expensive variety props,

Where will I go after use?

▲ Zhang Long, the executive director of Super Brain's prop library, told the reporter that some of the props of Crossing Bar were rented, and most of them were made by ourselves. Due to the particularity of the program, each issue is a different dynasty, and the props are difficult to be reused, so most of them are reserved and collected except the rented props. Some props, such as silver coins and coins, will be reused if the textual research is consistent.

▲ This kind of props in "Star Detective" can be easily reused. The props of Detective Star say that 40% of the props in their program can be reused, such as simple furnishings, antiques such as porcelain, and 40% will be stored. In addition to the cost, some props were deliberately retained, repeating the "stalk" of the previous story. For example, in the first season of "The Battle of Men's Fresh Meat", the NZND group had a Keji's nest, and in the second season of "See you on Friday", in the NZND group, this Keji's nest was taken out as a continuation of the details.

The reuse rate of props in Super Brain has reached about 30%. This is due to the storage management of super brain science. Super brain props warehouse has established a complete warehouse management system. When props are needed, such as searching for "small white table" in the software, the positions and pictures of all small white tables in the warehouse will be displayed. The system greatly improves the efficiency of props reuse. Director Jiang told reporters: "Now we sometimes use ready-made props in the prop warehouse, such as prop walls, prop racks, or flip props and some lifting machinery, and then use these props to integrate and modify new projects, which can also greatly save costs. For example, the glass used for Sudoku was reused when it rushed to the Xiao Yun project. "

Those post-90s artists behind "God Props"

Behind the props of the variety show "Like God",

Nature hides a group of skilled craftsmen.

What kind of people are they?

▲ Super-brain microalgae painting took more than half a year to make. Youth and vitality, a team that laughs every day.

The prop group of "Star Detective" calls itself "MG (short for Mango) Counterfeiting Association". Association members *** 15 people, basically all born after 90. Boss Shi said: "This is a team that laughs every day, and the whole company can hear our laughter. To tell the truth, the composition of the prop group is probably' driving crazy'+diaosi+Lori girl+tea-drinking veteran cadres+patients with advanced obsessive-compulsive disorder' and so on. Most importantly, we are also a senior buyer of a certain treasure+a DIY expert. As long as you want, we will find it or make it for you within three days. "

The MG Counterfeiting Association will arrange a prop director in every space of the scene, design the life props in the guest room according to the characters in the script, and make clues according to the needs of the plot. In the early stage, I will dock with the character group and design clues according to the plot. Then I need to dock with the late stage group and the location shooting group to complete the details of each clue and room props.

Textual research school, a detail has to turn over a dozen papers.

The prop department of Chuangguan is divided into three groups: the art group responsible for scene display, the prop group responsible for prop production and the costume group responsible for costume makeup. The Props Department is under the responsibility of Yang, a royal artist in Zhang Guoli. In such a program group with a strong historical background, prop artists are deeply impressed and interested in history, and often ask historical consultants for historical questions.

David lee, the shopkeeper, told the reporter about her change: "I was not interested in history before and felt bored. But in this program, I saw many teachers, who could tell without thinking what kind of clothes this dynasty should wear, what font to write, what to engrave on coins, and whether the ancients usually sat or knelt indoors. I also saw the writers, and in order to verify a detail, I found more than a dozen papers to read. In the process of participating in the preparation of props and getting along with these props teachers day and night, I feel that I have slightly opened a small corner of this historical masterpiece and really opened a new world for me. "

Science has successfully promoted aquaculture. ...

The props group of Super Brain consists of the post-60s general commander, the post-80s general gatekeeper and the post-90s innovator. Under the influence of this highly scientific program, many props directors become more and more "pursuing" science. For example, the seaweed painting that surprised the audience recently originated from the fact that the chief scientist behind Super Brain accidentally saw a beautiful seaweed painting on the Internet. Tiny algae gradually gathered together because of phototaxis to form portraits, so he successfully "planted grass" for the director group. No one expected that this seemingly artistic prop had passed the test of half a year. The directors of Super Brain learned to play Rubik's Cube in the first season, fell in love with quick calculation in the second and third seasons, and finally successfully entered the field of aquaculture in the fourth season. The person in charge of the "Microalgae Painting" project spent half a year writing a thick "Algae Cultivation Diary", recording the problems encountered, the duration of work stoppage and the solutions. In the most difficult time, the project almost gave up because of difficulties and budget overruns. Fortunately, they persisted.

Domestic variety shows have entered the era of "big props", and all program groups are spending a lot of money to build shocking props, even at the expense of importing them from abroad, and the visual effect is very shocking. But what contrasts with the vision is the emptiness of content and the lack of value. The key to being praised as a "conscience prop" by netizens is that props can combine the characteristics of the program, complement the content of the program, and even play a blessing role.

For example, the scientificity and preciseness of props in Super Brain, the preciseness of historical details in Let's Go Through, the detail control and sense of humor in props in Detective Star, combined with the characteristics of their respective programs, not only have visual effects, but also have chemical reactions with variety guests, and achieved good variety effects.

? Thank the props for their efforts and persistence?

? Let us believe that domestic variety shows also have fine products?
