Why is it that, as the latest comedy show to be launched, "The Swordsman" can still catch up from behind and find contestants of all types?

Zhu Hui said that the success of the program comes from the long preparation in the early stage. Dragon TV has invested a lot of energy in "The Swordsman" and put it on par with "China's Got Talent". The program team has launched national auditions since June last year, and there have been many twists and turns in the process. "Comedy show contestants are much harder to find than talent. Because I have done "China's Got Talent", "Mamma Mia", and "The Voice of China". I think the reason why comedy has not become a big success in so many years. A program with a high scale and high ratings depends on its high entry barrier. You think, singing is a lot better, but the sense of comedy is a talent, and the ability to shake off the baggage is innate to me. I think the contestants we want are similar to those in "Chinese Good Songs", who have both originality and excellent performances."

Compared with the audition situation when doing singing programs, Zhu Hui said that doing "Swordsman" will be the best. "Not even one-tenth of the registrations received during the show, the program team later found some contestants through auxiliary channels such as cultural centers and TV program recommendations. Even so, the program team also interviewed two to three thousand people, and finally selected 160 groups of people to participate in the recording of the program. "During the audition process, we found that Northeasterners have stronger comedy performance capabilities and like to imitate Zhao Benshan and Xiao Shenyang, just like we found singer Lao You to sing "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau"."

There are selection channels other than auditions. In addition to amateurs, some familiar faces will inevitably appear in the program. For example, Chen Dandan, who imitated Song Dandan, previously participated in Zhejiang Satellite TV's "Chinese Comedy Star" and his performance also imitated Song Dandan. However, "Zhao Benshan" was not sold in that story. The "fake Thai" Parang was also recognized by netizens as having participated in "If You Are the One" and "Sing the Spark of Love". Two 6-year-old dolls whose cross talk skills exceeded the Spring Festival Gala were on the local channel " There was a similar performance in "Jinan Good Local Music".

In this regard, Zhu Hui believes that the program itself does not exclude contestants who have participated in other programs. What they value is the talent of the contestants. Moreover, most of the people in the program were recruited through auditions. .
