Now is the era of entertainment, and the entire entertainment industry has undergone earth-shaking changes, and traditional entertainment media are also suffering from unprecedented huge impacts.

In this era, the Internet is the mainstream, and traditional TV media have long been ranked eight miles away. Although there are many programs on TV nowadays, few people are willing to watch programs in front of the TV.

Most people are waiting to watch the replay on the Internet the next day. It is convenient to watch it online. You can watch it at any time and pause it at any time.

The Internet is more popular than TV now, so media people have been thinking about a question: Since the Internet is so popular, why do you have to play TV programs? Why can't they produce them themselves?

To use other people's programs, you have to follow their playback rules, cooperate with others, and pay a large amount of authorization fees.

How good it is to make it yourself. Spend money by yourself and use your own resources to spread it. In this way, the benefits will definitely be better.

So, as early as a few years ago, there were videos made by themselves on the Internet, from the earliest selfies of photographers, to the later short dramas and micro-films, to some online dramas and online movies planned and invested in by video websites, and to the current online variety shows.

Two years ago, the movies, TV series and variety shows on the Internet were all very shocking, and they all used novelty and shocking people to gain prominence. It was so eye-catching that there was no way to compare with the things played by TV stations.

In the past two years, major video websites have really put in their hearts and created several very good online dramas and online variety shows. They are really ready to develop in this regard.

So this year, Kuguo, one of the top video websites in China, found He Xiangdong and wanted to cooperate with him to create a new online variety show.

After getting to know them, He Xiangdong happily agreed.

This program is a program tailor-made by He Xiangdong. It is a storytelling program that allows He Xiangdong to tell the story on the program.

Although the variety shows on the Internet have already gone beyond the initial shocking and funny category, it is now the era of reality show variety shows. It is really rare for Kuguo Video to invest in let He Xiangdong create a traditional folk art program.

He Xiangdong agreed very readily, and for this show, He Xiangdong basically did not get any money, he only received a red envelope from the other party's company.

He wanted this show to be successful.

He Xiangdong is not only a crosstalk actor, he is also a storyteller. He also has a doorstep in the storyteller. He is the apprentice of Zhang Kuoru, and he is the successor of Zhang's storyteller.

Moreover, half of his storytelling skills were inherited from Mr. Wang Miwei, who was a generation of cheating kings. He Xiangdong did not worship Mr. Wang as his teacher, but his skills were indeed inherited from others.

There is a library in Beijing called Tingshuxuan, which was built by He Xiangdong and the Storyteller. It has been several years, and until now, He Xiangdong goes to tell stories every week.

He Xiangdong really likes storytelling. He loves this industry so much, and he hopes that this industry will be better.

Over the years, He Xiangdong has made a lot of efforts. He runs his own bookstore and also runs storytelling programs on TV.

He Xiangdong once held a storytelling program in Tianjin, but unfortunately he didn't succeed, and the ratings were hotly discussed.

There are many reasons. On the one hand, it is publicity reasons. The TV station does not provide enough publicity resources and the publicity method is not correct.

Another very important reason is that the program is wrong. The TV station’s programs do not allow you to talk about it for dozens of minutes at all. He Xiangdong can only take up at most twenty minutes to tell the story of each episode, which is too short. Moreover, the program is still a Monday episode, and the interval is too long.

It is reasonable that the program fails to succeed.

He Xiangdong's storytelling skills are not weak at all. Judging from the current folk art world, He Xiangdong's storytelling skills are enough to rank among the top three. Even among the actors who are still active on the stage, He Xiangdong can rank first.

After all, He Xiangdong is the successor of the two masters Zhang Kuoru and Wang Miwei. Can he be worse?

He Xiangdong has been telling books for almost twenty years. Even if He Xiangdong became popular in 2004, it has been ten years since he was still there.

He Xiangdong has talked about a lot of books, he said it in the bookstore, in the Xiangwenshe small theater, in commercial performances, and in TV programs.

Too many, too many, and you can't count them.

There are also long and short stories.

However, the books He Xiangdong said also have a very distinctive feature, that is, the long bibliography. None of them had filled in the pits, and he had digged them all without filling them.

Many of the short stories are filled in pits, mainly because the book is short, and many of them are a paragraph in thirty minutes. It’s enough to finish it, and there is no need to dig a pit.

So over the years, He Xiangdong has really cheated many people, and there are too many people staying in his trap.

He Xiangdong's reputation has become terrible.

This time, Kuguo Video also took a fancy to He Xiangdong's big IP, and so many people were staying in the pit. Why didn't they invite He Xiangdong out to fill in the pit? This show will become popular just by making a little trick. Moreover, the program is cheap and does not require any props. Just give him a table and a chair.

So, they came to find He Xiangdong.

He Xiangdong was also looking for a good platform to promote traditional art. The two sides could be said to be a hit and He Xiangdong didn't even ask for a salary.

The video website has saved a lot of money, and they can also spend the money on production and publicity.

They also want this show to succeed.

In order to do this program, He Xiangdong didn't even participate in the new program that Ning Yue did.

Last time he participated in the Laughing World, He Xiangdong's fame has increased many times. He Xiangdong knew that Ning Yue and his next program could bring him greater fame, but he still refused.

Because he planned to devote all his energy to this storytelling program, He Xiangdong really put his energy into it this time.

The name of this show was finally called "The Journey of Filling the Pit", which can be regarded as He Xiangdong's journey of atonement. He Xiangdong has really cheated people over the years.

The design of the show's stage design is similar to that of the traditional old teahouse. It is also a table and a chair on the stage with folding fans, awakening wood and handkerchiefs on it.

There were dozens of viewers sitting in the audience, drinking tea and eating snacks. Of course, the structure of the teahouse belongs to the teahouse, and the video place is still in the studio.

Storytellers usually tell books in bookstores and teahouses, or they are on radio. There is usually very little on TV. The time on TV stations is very precious, so people will not give you so much time to tell stories. Storytellers on radio are recorded, and the actors say themselves in the studio, and there is no audience at the scene, nothing else.

He Xiangdong requested the stage design like "The Journey of Filling the Pit" because the storytelling is for the audience. What do you say without the audience? Also, when the actors are talking about it, some festivals also require the audience to cheer and cheer for the fun, and this link cannot be missed.

There is also Xianbai'er, and without Xianbai'er, you can't write. Telling books is not about memorizing, it's not about going on stage and just say a paragraph. He must slowly open the book during the chat.

Therefore, the leisurely white must not be missing, and the audience must not be missing.

In the past, the old man had no choice but to only talk about books when he recorded a radio. Now He Xiangdong has the conditions, why didn’t he do this?

He Xiangdong has another last requirement, that is, the time for the storytelling is controlled by He Xiangdong himself, and he tries to control it to about an hour, but occasionally there is something that goes beyond it or is not enough, so the website cannot be edited and modified randomly.

The website agreed to all these requirements because it was not unreasonable. Although the last request was a bit unsuitable, because He Xiangdong forced this, they had to agree.

He Xiangdong has been busy with this matter in Beijing for a while, and in the next 2015, his focus will be on this.

"Teacher He, see how this stage is built, is there any place that needs improvement?" the director asked He Xiangdong.

He Xiangdong did it himself, and even the stage was built. He Xiangdong nodded: "Okay, it's great, it's great if you have these."

The director also smiled with satisfaction. He pointed to the side next to the stage and said, "Teacher He, when the recording is time, we will invite you a traditional band. When the opening half is still there, we will give you a drum beat."

He Xiangdong smiled: "Then is my storytelling configuration or is it the best one?"

The director also laughed: "That's right, we are the first online show in China to be a storytelling program, so we always have to do it better."

"Okay." He Xiangdong smiled. He glanced at the stage and said to the director next to him: "The chair is too short. You have to change one. The storytelling chair should be higher and the actor's upper body should be exposed."

The director agreed, "Sure, I'll have someone change it in a while."

He Xiangdong nodded.

The director looked at He Xiangdong and asked, "Hey, Teacher He, what are you planning to open this first book? I am also your book fan. I have been lying for more than a dozen tricks over the years."
