Xiao S and Tsai Kangyong, why did they become friends?
Air
The audience's last impression of the two on the same stage should be the episode where "Kangxi is Coming" was discontinued.
Although later, the two briefly collaborated on other shows, such as "Flowers and All Things", they were not as impressive as "Kangxi is coming".
This variety show, which began in 2004 and ended in 2016, is loved by the audience for being close to the people, lively and all-encompassing.
The reason why the suspension of "Kangxi is Coming" made the audience most uncomfortable was that its closure was not due to poor ratings, but because the host Cai Kangyong was determined to do it.
As for the reason, Cai Kangyong said that one is because he is too tired; Second, I am afraid that everyone will get tired of watching it and want to "seek change".
Tired.
This should be true.
Because "Kangxi is Coming" is the ace program of Zhongtian TV, an episode will be broadcast every night at 10 pm from Monday to Friday.
This broadcast density requires very high work intensity for the host and post-production. After all, most variety shows now are one episode a week.
But the excuse of "tired of watching" is a bit far-fetched.
Because the two later came to the mainland to "make money", they still followed the form of double-host interviews.
Therefore, the real reason is more likely to be that "life in the mainland is easier, but there is more money".
Here is a comparison of the production costs and hosting income of the above two programs:
(Because the broadcast frequency of the two programs is different, one is daily and the other is weekly, so directly compare the data of one week)
"Kangxi is Coming" has five episodes a week, and the production cost of each episode is about 100,000 yuan, and the total production cost in a week does not exceed 500,000. The host is paid 24,000 per episode, and about 120,000 is recorded in a week.
"Flowers and Everything" has one episode a week, and the production cost of each episode is as high as 12 million, and the host's remuneration for one issue is said to be 1.2 million!
That is to say, from the island to the mainland, the unit price of each episode has increased dozens of times, and the total income has increased tenfold!
Only do one-fifth of the work, but get ten times the pay!
In this way, is the suspension of "Kangxi Coming" still unexpected?
However, due to different cultural backgrounds, lack of familiarity of guests, limited interview scale... and other reasons, the transplantation of this "Southern Art and Northern Diversion" did not achieve the expected results. After 2020, "Flowers and Everything" was discontinued because of "recording one episode and losing one episode".
splendor
Why did the mainland spend a lot of money to invite these two people to come and do the show?
Because "Kangxi is Coming" is too popular.
This show can be said to be the memory of a generation and a window for ordinary people to understand the island.
The guests of "Kangxi is Coming" are very diverse, from leaders to celebrities, from college students to full-time mothers, from Internet celebrity shopkeepers to ordinary amateurs, all walks of life.
In the show, the audience can hear Xiao S's spicy question of "not afraid of death"; You can also see the different side of the stars.
And Cai Kangyong can always bring Xiao S back on track and keep the show as decent as it should.
The two people who are one text and one martial arts, one song and one harmony, are bitter and spicy, no taboos, relaxed and moderate, and complement each other well, creating the classic characteristics of "Kangxi is Coming" that are appreciated by both elegant and common people.
After twelve years of grinding, "Kangxi is Coming" has not only become a cultural business card of Xiaodao, but also achieved the peak of Xiao S and Cai Kangyong's career.
Any celebrity publicizing albums and movies must be on "Kangxi is coming"; Any artist can only be regarded as a real big coffee if he has sat on the red flower chair of "Kangxi is Coming".
Even an imitation coffee like Chen Handian became popular because he could stand next to Xiao S, and gradually became a well-known actor and host.
The magic of "Kangxi is Coming" can be seen.
Solo flight
But the popularity of "Kangxi is Coming" made Xiao S and Chen Handian eat all the dividends, but it made Cai Kangyong mixed.
As he said in the program, "Kangxi is Coming" is very popular, but whenever he goes to an event or dinner, everyone will ask: What about Xiao S?
Obviously, everyone likes Xiao S more, and feels that the excitement of the show is thanks to Xiao S.
On the one hand, Cai Kangyong feels that everyone likes the show very well because they like Xiao S, and on the other hand, he feels very aggrieved.
Because he is the one who pulls the main key, controls the rhythm of the interview, and is more worried, why does everyone only see the light of Xiao S?
So, Tsai Kangyong was looking for an opportunity to prove himself.
Here came the opportunity.
Cai Kangyong was invited to the mainland to do a new show "Strange Words" because he met Ma Dong, Short and Big Tight and other friends.
Because the topics of the show are interesting, the views are novel, and all kinds of strange and often witty words and have their own characteristics, once launched, it became a hit of the year.
As one of his mentors, Cai Kangyong has gained countless fans through his warm expression and achieved the second spring of his career.
After that, he published "Cai Kangyong's Way of Speaking" and launched "Cai Kangyong's Emotional Intelligence Course", with the help of the east wind of the Internet, he reaped a solid harvest.
After discovering the huge blue ocean market in the mainland, Cai Kangyong did not forget his old partner Xiao S, and the two reunited to host.
Why did Cai Kangyong break up with Xiao S, and then merge with Xiao S?
In fact, he is a shrewd person who has a good idea.
On the surface, he seems indisputable and gentle, and he also smiles and is thoughtful before speaking, but his aggression and desire for control are hidden under the smile.
Xiao S and Chen Handian both said on the show that Cai Kangyong was "cold and intimidating" in private. Before the show started, he was alone in the dressing room, and no one dared to enter to disturb him. Even passing by his dressing room, he felt a cold breath oozing through the crack in the door.
And from the Golden Horse Award, his difficulties with Huang Bo can also be seen that he is by no means good.
He wants to control the field, he wants to dominate.
If the audience of "Kangxi is Coming" thinks that Xiao S is redder than him, then after reuniting in the mainland, Xiao S took advantage of his momentum to become popular.
The same two people, the protagonist's aura is different.
It is a pity that people are not as good as heavenly calculations.
After a short journey to make money, both of their careers fell into trouble.
Now scandal-ridden Xiao S, has no power to return. "Good girlfriend" Cai Kangyong also began to protect his life wisely, no longer trying to prove his innocence for his "friend".
Friendship, it must be a little, after all, after working together for so many years, they have also made so much money together; But friendship, not much, after all, the general trend has passed, can only ask for more blessings.
