Program naming

The original name of the program when it was announced was "Running Man" (that is, the Chinese literal translation of Running Man). Considering that there are five variety shows broadcast by Zhejiang Satellite TV The characters were inconsistent with the convention, so the name of the program was changed to "Running Brothers". Before the name change, Zhejiang Satellite TV had registered the trademark "Running Man" with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.

Program production

"Running Brothers Season 1" was jointly produced by China and South Korea. In the early stage of the program, the Korean team led the Chinese side and cooperated, but it was soon handed over to Zhejiang Satellite TV. Yu Hangying’s team at the center is fully responsible.

Although the program is derived from the classic Korean variety model and basically copies the mature production model of the original version

, it can still be used in every aspect from game arrangement, prop production, and even plot setting. I see a lot of localized imprints.

Every member of the running men's team has a distinct personality. In terms of the most classic game arrangement, "Running Brothers Season 1" adopts a "50-50 split" strategy, using half the original classic game and half Original and homemade.

In terms of division of labor for the program, the team is divided into the location scouting team, the writing team, the directing team, the camera team, the post-production team, and the production team. Among them, screenwriting is a job type established by Zhejiang Satellite TV after the emergence of Running Man, and is led by the chief director responsible for screenwriting. Writers and directors are separate. The director pays more attention to the presentation and setting of the scene, while the screenwriter focuses on arranging the artist's entire emotion, character positioning and the direction of the content. Responsible for writing the game settings and has nothing to do with the plot. There is no script. The so-called script is just a process, which involves the venue, rules, and what the director says when issuing tasks.
