One of the greatest issues for anyone in the entertainment industry is procuring an audience. Getting people to become consistent viewers. It is only through doing so, can a stand-up comedian or TV show be successful. But how can a new producer bring something fresh to the table but still garner viewers? People use different methods. A sports oriented show might discuss the scores of games targeted at simply sports fan. The dramatic and theatrical audience will be looking forward to the next episode of Glee, while that audience that revels in suspense and mystery are excited for the upcoming episode of Suits. Each of these are independent of each other, but yet are bound by the one unifying fact of entertainment: "if you tell stories that people want to hear, the audience will find you".
That quote, from the article by David Carr, describes perfectly what all those part of the entertainment industry are subject to. Every producer must sit down to consider what story are they going to present, be it drama, mystery, or sports. But the question becomes, must all producers follow this lesson of entertainment. Yes, they must. For being part of the entertainment industry is, in the end, another occupation to make money. An occupation that relies on the number of people who watch your show. If a new TV show was not tailored to a particular story or audience, it will not sell and cannot be successful, no matter how good the quality of the show may be.
The entertainment industry is reliant on the people: what is trending, what is hot, what is the story that want to hear. To stray from this and present your own story will be difficult to make the numbers of viewers as people may not be wholly interested or have any appeal to that story. What am I coming to say? The entertainment industry is heavily based on appealing to the masses. And by appealing to them, presenting a show or game or song that contains appealing story to the public, they will attain viewers and subscribers and can be successful. Entertainment, the industry of creating a performance designed to please others, is derived by the public by its own definition. Thus, all entertainers in the end must seek to find a story of the public.
