Another much-anticipated fairy variety show has returned.
Douban opened a score of 9.5, and the bullet screen was brushed by the "sleeping slot".
Sure enough, it didn't disappoint, and it exploded again—
The Great Escape Season 4
Great Escape Season 4
A score of 9.5 is just a routine operation for The Great Escape, after all, the previous three consecutive seasons averaged 9.5.
The latest fourth season is still strong, the original team is working, and the production is upgraded.
The first episode of the show was dedicated to "King Fried".
What is the specific operation, Uncle Fish first sell a close.
So the question is, why can this show maintain such an anti-heavenly reputation for four consecutive years?
One word: immersion.
The Great Escape is a large-scale escape room reality show.
The escapee needs to go through layers of reasoning, break through the various levels, and finally escape from the chamber of secrets.
Casually click on a program, you can see such a bullet screen -
The last second was still laughing;
The next second, I was stunned and only dared to cover my eyes.
No way.
The audience was completely led by the atmosphere of the show, and the emotional ups and downs were pinched to death.
Fans describe The Great Escape as more than just a variety show:
"As we all know, it's a TV series."
So.
How does The Great Escape create the ultimate sense of immersion and give the audience a drama-like experience?
First, there is money.
"Trench inhumanity" is a big label for The Great Escape.
Specifically, it refers to the construction of real scenes and the production of props, and the funds are not only burning, but simply exploding.
There is a saying circulating on the Internet:
"TvN makes money by Luo Lixi (Journey to the New West, Yin Canteen), and it is Zheng Zhongyuan ("The Great Escape") who spends money."
But this money is spent at a value that is visible to the naked eye.
When a new scene appears in each episode, the barrage brushes the "sleeper groove".
Looking back at the first three seasons of the show, Uncle Fish's most impressive scenes are as follows.
The most terrifying "Zombie Hospital", the hospital has blood-stained walls and ghostly operating rooms.
There are also hordes of zombie NPCs, all of whom are zombies in Busan Trip.
There is also "Prison of evil spirits", daily security checks, living with prisoners, like a "live-action version of prison escape".
One of the rooms also had a hundred urns, which was a scene of hades.
The final episode of the third season, "Back to Beijing", directly built a capital city in 1919 (now Seoul, South Korea).
All the NPCs also changed into the clothes of that era, performing their duties, from street vendors to police guards.
I don't know which drama I thought I had strayed into.
Uncle Yu originally thought that building a city on the flat ground was probably the peak of the real scene.
Never expected.
After watching the first episode of the fourth season, I was punched in the face.
Really, never underestimate the imagination and creativity of The Great Escape —
The king blew up, and this time he directly built a new country.
A primitive society of barter, but with the development of agriculture.
There were soldiers and iron weapons, and the people lived in thatched huts.
This is an alternate history, a country that did not exist in history - Asia and South Korea.
Of course.
To create a high-quality variety show, it is not enough to have money.
The guests and scripts are also crucial.
If you want to attract an audience, you must first attract guests.
The guests had a good time, and the audience seemed to have a sense of substitution.
Uncle Fish briefly introduces the show's resident guests, namely the six "escapees".
"Little Piglet" Jiang Hudong, a Korean national artist with rich experience in variety shows.
Occasionally funny, occasionally incarnate as a life mentor, output famous quotes and golden sentences.
"Prodigy" Shin Dong-hee, with an IQ, but timid.
As long as you are not scared silly, you can carry the whole team, and when the third season returned, he lost 58 pounds.
"Girl" Kim Dong-hyun, who looks like a tall UFC player, is actually equally timid.
"Kim Discovery" Kim Jong-min, double business is often not online, but good luck.
It is always possible to accidentally find important clues when you are at an impasse.
"Terrier King" Yoo Bing-jae, a funny entertainer from a writer's background, and a big meme.
The most classic is the confused expression after being sprayed with cream.
"P.O" cousin Ji Hoon, the youngest brother in the team, is handsome and kind-hearted, and positioning is an auxiliary.
What is rare is that the show was filmed in the fourth season, and the lineup remained completely unchanged.
The six people have their own strengths and weaknesses, learning from each other's strengths, and the tacit understanding and friendship formed are naturally indestructible.
The show and the guests grow together and compete with each other.
The two sides are on the same page, and no one has to accommodate the other.
Compared with many variety shows that offer guests, they have already lost from the starting point.
To achieve a parity, the script is indispensable.
The screenwriter's ambition was great to create a "Great Escape Universe", which was officially named "DTCU".
Connect the previous stories with new ones.
Some fans have called for NPCs who have previously performed "excellent" to return to the scene.
Of course, the highest voices are "top stream" Qian Haiming and "absolute sense of sound" Dean Li.
A handful of anticipation.
The fourth season opens with part of the "Great Escape Universe".
The story seamlessly connects with the two stories of the previous season's "Time Machine" theme - "Time Machine Research Room" and "Back to Beijing".
Before filming began, Zheng PD also reminded the guests to remember "reviewing":
"I hope to re-watch the two articles "Time Machine Research Room" and "Back to Beijing"."
You see, most variety shows want to lower the threshold as much as possible.
"The Great Escape" does the opposite, preferring to let the guests and the audience do their homework, which is the confidence brought by the script.
The task of the latest issue is roughly like this -
Dr. Kim Tae-in is the inventor of the time machine.
He traveled to ancient Asia-Korea on a time machine, brought farming methods, inspired people's wisdom, and changed later history.
The locals formed the "Iron House Society" organization and worshipped Kim Tae-jin as a god.
In the third season of "Back to Beijing", the escapees found that Kim Tae-jin had left a letter in the capital in 1919.
The letter states that he was in danger of death in distant antiquity and needed to be rescued by escapees.
Now, the escapees have successfully arrived in ancient Asia-Korea.
They have to accomplish three things to be successful.
First, rescue Kim Tae-jin.
Second, there was no pen or paper at the time, and the letter was carved in stone and rubbed.
They had to help Kim Tae-in complete the letter and preserve it, or they wouldn't see it by 1919.
Third, escape from Yahan through the time machine.
The first episode has limited information, but there is no shortage of wonderful scenes.
The escapees need to unlock the door lock code before entering Yahan.
The code is a row of bite-locked gears with a variety of different animals printed on them.
A tiger painting hangs on the wall.
This time it is the turn of the "girl" Kim Dong Hyun IQ online:
He pointed out the need to find other animals hidden in the tiger's portrait.
Then correspond sequentially to the animals on the gears.
There are a total of six animal species in the painting.
The first thing they found was a crocodile on the tiger's ear.
This was followed by more difficult pandas and parrots.
The last to be found was a hidden giraffe.
Where the giraffe is hidden, Uncle Fish will not spoil.
After going out, they came to the territory of Yahan and were also stunned by the scene in front of them.
With the help of local NPCs, they join the iron house society
Then, with the help of the Iron House Society, dr. Kim Tae-in is further rescued.
After a year, they finally met Dr. Kim Tae-in himself for the first time.
As for whether Kim Tae-yong can be successfully rescued, it will be revealed in the next program.
Uncle Yu always has a premonition, this story connecting ancient and modern times, two episodes of the program may be difficult to end, is it possible to extend to four periods?
After all, the program team has built such a magnificent real scene, and it must be fully utilized.
No, the feeling of chasing the drama comes out at once.
When a show has sufficient funding, an excellent script, and stable guests, then the last step is to execute.
This is also a major feature of "The Great Escape" -
The excitement of the behind-the-scenes footage is definitely not lost to the main film.
Every time I watch the behind-the-scenes special of "The Great Escape", I will be touched by the professionalism of the program team.
Take the most shocking "Time Machine" theme program.
At that time, after the show was broadcast, many people wondered how the time machine worked.
Even the guests were puzzled.
In fact, the program team created several similarly furnished rooms according to the timeline.
Even a lot of details correspond:
For example, there are computers and DVs stained with spider webs in the future room, but they can't be used.
If you travel back in time, you can open them and uncover important clues from them.
And the program team needs to observe and pay attention to the actions of the guests at all times.
So that they can find what was left behind in the corresponding location in the future time and space after crossing.
The plot will continue to change with the operation of the guests, and there are endless possibilities.
Truly achieve a sense of substitution through time travel.
Four rooms of different time and space were built
The most shocking thing is the process of the time machine taking the escapee to the capital in 1919.
There is a universal wheel at the bottom of the time machine, and several people push the time machine outside.
Because the ground of the capital is a dirt road, the time machine will sink in on the dirt road and it is difficult to push.
Therefore, the program team specially paved a short section of cement road as a "time machine special road".
Then while pushing, someone swept the dirt behind to cover the cement road and ruts so as not to wear the gang.
The entire crossing process takes only 90 seconds.
This crossing to ancient Asia-Korea should be a similar operation.
When the production team was asked why they were building a city-state for a show.
Their answer was pure, "Because there isn't."
In addition to the production of props, there are many details of the processing, and you can also see the intentions of the program team.
The escape process of each episode is often five or six hours, so a dining session that matches the plot will be added.
The later soundtrack is also very elaborate.
When creating suspense and tension, the BGM of Vincenzo and Snoop is used;
In time travel, the BGM of Rick and Morty and Interstellar is used.
From industrial standards, to plot arrangement, to post-production.
It can be said that "The Great Escape" represents the ceiling of today's Han Zong.
And beyond the show, it can have a more far-reaching impact.
The aesthetics and tastes of the audience will be slowly cultivated by such high-quality programs.
They become picky, which in turn affects the quality of the show.
When the guests, the show, and the audience form a closed loop, then any inferior show has no chance to emerge.
On the basis of innovation, we continue to innovate, and in the solidified mainstream culture, a new culture has been chiseled out.
This is the Great Escape.
Compared with the program form of borrowing "The Great Escape", such an innovative spirit may be more worthy of national comprehensive learning.
In short, a thousand words come together in one sentence:
The Great Escape yyds!
