Are the audience of variety shows professionals? Why is it so uniform?

Professional audience has become an open secret.

In fact, professional audience is nothing new. It is reported that in the early years, the team of Zhengda Variety and the "familiar faces" who interacted with the comic sketch actors at the Spring Festival Evening were actually professional audiences.

Only in this way can people truly realize the existence of professional audience. With the increasingly fierce competition of variety shows, it has long been an open secret for TV stations to spend money to find professional audiences to "support the scene". As early as 20 14, the professional audience market in Beijing has reached1800,000 yuan.

You can find a lot of information about recruiting professional visitors, most of whom are from Beijing and Shanghai. It usually takes 4-6 hours to record a program, and the salary ranges from 100 to 800 yuan. For example, the recruitment information released by a cultural communication company in Shanghai requires the audience to "create an active atmosphere and applaud under the stage". A program is recorded for 4-8 hours, and the salary is 300-800 yuan.

In a civilian talent show, the program group asked the audience in the front row not to leave early, doze off and play with their mobile phones. Players should applaud when performing, and the host should listen carefully when interviewing players.

Known as the "group leader", the junior group leader who directly deals with the professional audience, their daily job is to release the recording information of TV programs on various platforms, and one person may get a commission of 20-30 yuan.

Today's "team leader" has almost become a formal profession, and the audience is called as a whole. According to the official account of WeChat "TV Man", there are many audience companies that are responsible for attracting viewers to record programs, and there are dozens of audience companies registered in Beijing alone. The professional audience became a "regular army".

The audience sitting in front of the TV will also feel a little tired. The singer on the stage just sang a bitter love song, and the audience under the stage cried their heads off. The players obviously played their normal level, but the audience was as excited as the success of the Olympic bid. This can't help but make people wonder, just to set off the atmosphere, why exaggerate?

The higher the appearance rate in the program, the higher the reward. For example, a professional audience who records a program without any lens may only get about 100 yuan. Those who perform well may get a 300-400 yuan, and those who are very good may get a 700-800 yuan.

There are such a group of emotional emperors in variety shows. Their acting skills are comparable to those of professional actors. They are intoxicated when they disagree, and shed tears when they disagree. It turns out that it's not because they want to be famous, maybe it's just because they want to get more pay.

It can also create more highlights for the program. In a music variety show, there are all kinds of words in each season, which adds a lot of jokes to the show. Some viewers even laughed and said that the excellent "Yan Yi" of the audience was even more wonderful than the performance of the singer on the stage.
