It's no secret that television adapts to the tastes of the audience. Do they want scandals? Receive, sign. Do they believe in a beautiful fairy tale of love? Please look. Hope that a change in appearance will help change your life? The stylists are already in a hurry to help. And it is not surprising that not all of these programs stay on the air for at least a couple of years: tastes change - relevance is lost. However, there are programs that have earned the love of the people - they have existed for many years and still do not lose their popularity. We will talk about them today. So what are the secrets of famous TV shows?

Field of Dreams

The first issue of the program, which has become truly popular, was released almost 30 years ago - on October 26, 1990. You probably know that its first presenter was Vladislav Listyev. But Leonid Yakubovich, who replaced him, did not immediately agree to take the helm of the capital show. And the creators even offered to take an important post to Igor Ugolnikov. But he was busy in other projects, and Leonid Yakubovich gave up after much persuasion. By the way, as he admits, he has not watched a single issue of "Field of Miracles" with his participation so far.

By the way, the presenter does not know in advance what tasks will be given to the players - only five minutes before the broadcast he is told which word the participants should guess.

But, as a rule, transfer issues often fade into the background. It is much more important for the participants to “appear on TV”, to convey greetings to relatives and friends and, of course, to present gifts and gifts to Leonid Yakubovich. But it turns out that not all the heroes of the program come with pre-prepared presents and pickles-preserves. If a person arrives empty-handed, then the editors break their heads for him: it is they who select the gift in accordance with the place where the participant lives.

What do they do with all this donated good? Edible gifts are given to everyone in the hall. And the rest of the exhibits are sent to the Fields of Miracles museum. Yes, yes, it actually exists and is located at the All-Russian Exhibition Center in Moscow. Here you can see the "Peeing Thrush" figurine made of dry manure, a Buddha figure with lightly salted cucumbers inside and other no less interesting objects.

Good night, children

The evening program for children has been published since 1964, so it is not surprising that more than one generation of our compatriots grew up on it. But times change, boys and girls grow up, and Piggy, Stepashka, Filya and other heroes of their favorite program remain the same. But it turns out that they are updated every three years and are treated very carefully: they are stored in special cabinets and taken out only during filming.

There is also a special approach to the wardrobe of the main characters: only domestic manufacturers are trusted to sew costumes. In addition, the things of the presenters and the animals hang in one place.

By the way, if we are talking about the so-called puppeteers, you probably thought as a child that they were sitting under the table. This is partly true, but all the conveniences have been created for the presenters. The thing is that the studio is furnished in a special way: there is a podium in the room, on which chairs with cut legs are placed. Nearby there are hatches with banquettes - that's where the presenters sit. And it is in this position that it is more convenient for them to keep the elbow on the chair. So the rumors that people are huddled at the table are just speculation.

KVN

Another of the longest running programs on our television will celebrate its 59th anniversary this year. Initially, the Czech program "Guess, Guess, Fortune Teller" became a role model, and the "Evening of Merry Questions" served as a prototype. The current name of the game was given in honor of the first Soviet TV "KVN-49".

But for more than half a century of KVN history, not only the rules have changed, but also the criteria for selecting participants and jokes. And this is not surprising. Indeed, according to the International Union of KVN, more than seven thousand teams are registered in its database. And that's why it is very difficult to get on the air right away: on average, the participants get to the screens for 5 years. And it is not surprising that during this time yesterday's students become serious uncles and manage to start families.

Those who are not afraid to go this long way to success must also comply with certain conditions. So, no improvisation. Before performing on stage in front of the audience, the teams must show their performances at least five times: twice in front of the editors, once assessed by Alexander Maslyakov (his word, by the way, is decisive), a couple more times the participants work out the numbers at the dress rehearsals. By the way, it is very difficult to surprise the program editors - for so many years they have already seen a lot. Boring jokes, and sometimes entire contests are simply cut off the air. Therefore, in order not to get into a mess, many teams keep a whole staff of hired authors who write jokes for them.

Who want to be a millionaire?

The program "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" Has no less interesting secrets. To begin with, everything is thought out even in the design of the studio. Participants do not see the audience sitting in the auditorium, because it is fenced off by a light wall. Thus, a feeling of pitch darkness is created, which means that no one will be able to give hints. In addition, fans are asked to wear dark clothes. And, of course, no phones.

Now remember how the game with the participants usually begins. The presenter invites those who wish to try their luck at a table that appears out of nowhere. In fact, after Dmitry Dibrov calls the one who wants to become a millionaire, filming is suspended, and a table and chairs are brought into the studio. And then the "motor" again. “Help from the audience” is not always from the audience. Or rather, not at all from them. Answer options that simulate voting are formed by a special computer program. The audience only creates the appearance of thinking about the question. In fact, she can press any buttons.

Many also think that the presenter knows the answers to all the questions in advance. But this is not so: the correct option is only told to him at the end, so his attempts to confuse the player are in fact only attempts. In addition, the money allegedly given to the participants is a fake. The actual winnings are transferred to the players' bank account.

House 2

You can treat the scandalous TV show in different ways, but the fact that it has been going on for almost 16 years gives food for thought: it means that it has a large audience and, accordingly, high ratings. And, of course, the main question that worries viewers is whether there is a script on the project? As many former participants admit, they show real life on reality shows and everything actually happens, but not without the participation of conductors. Editors not only advise the presenters what to talk about and about whom, where to direct, to what conflict to bring, but also "prompt" guys and girls how to behave, with whom you can build love or go into conflict.

It is also no secret that "hamsters" (as viewers lovingly call the participants) receive a salary, and the amount depends on the ratings. The more popular the character, the higher his income. But for the first 3 months, newcomers are not paid anything, and later, judging by how they show themselves, they will be able to receive from 50 to 250 thousand rubles a month. Agree, not a bad prospect, considering that food and accommodation at Dom-2 is free. A popular character will not be kicked out, even if everyone voted against him: either he will pull out "immunity", or another will leave instead. Accordingly, with the growing popularity of a particular participant, the number of his subscribers in social networks increases. This means that the number of advertising offers is also growing. But while the hero is on reality, half of his similar additional income goes to the project. In addition, the organizers of the show can post their advertising posts in the accounts of the participants.

And the fashion for the TV show began that way 30 years ago. Here what the popular TV presenters of the 1990s look like today … Today they are blue screen legends.
