Wanna make a quick buck? Wanna parade about with a dozen sponsors and a few fans? Wanna be famous for nothing? Make a TAMIL SERIAL, (or a music video). Just follow the below instructions and you have a steady, incoming credit to your bank account. Why, it can foot your yearly frankee bill. So, here goes what can be the best inverstment plan of your life, (though I still feel that you can be a vadyar.)
NUMBER ONE: OPENING SEQUENCE
This is absolutely necessary. It is so necessary you can just have this and nothing else. You need-:
1- A wedding
2- Wedding music
3- Two people marrying
4- Still shots of the serial.
This part is of utmost importance. Your music has to be catchy. If your serial title is "Friday", then the whole song has to be a lot of "Friday, Friday, Friday, Friday." Remember, repetition rocks. (Alliterations ftw :P ) Your opening has to be atleast 10 minutes long, for a thirty minute serial. Increase time proportionally.
NUMBER TWO: HEROINES
Another neccessity. Have as many girls as there are in the freaking planet. A wife, a daughter, a mother, a sister in law, a mother in law, a servant, all-in-one, none-in-one, whatever. Characteristics of the main female lead include
1- Some... weight. Your viewers like well-fed people, remember.
2- Extremely hard working tear glands.
3- A collection of saris.
Your heroine is also focussed on in the opening sequence, but she cannot be dancing. Let her be married off, let her be walking along the beach, etc etc.
NUMBER THREE: VAMP
There are no villians in a tamil serial. There are only vamps. She is the killer element of your serial, you can even make her a killer. She can lie, cheat, swindle, do whatever she wants. The camera has to focus a lot on her face, so make sure she does not wear any make-up. She needs a seperate background score, that is always present when she is on screen. Also, she you need the camera to replay stufff for you. If she is slapped, she needs to be slapped 4 times. If she slaps, she needs to slap 6 times. Increase proportionally according to the seriousness of the insulting.
She needs a characteristic laugh, so go ask Mogambo or Raavan for advice. She also needs to be the cutest gal on the show, anytone cuter than her has to be killed off.
NUMBER FOUR: HERO
Your hero is the normal guy you always see catching fish or the like. He needs to be a gorilla, hair everywhere. He should be fat as well, and as easily corrupted as a three year old child is.
THATS ALL. You need just the above to have a succesful televison show. Forget about everything else. Also, in the credits, make sure to mark your educational qualification. Tenth pass is the lowest I have seen. So, please do better than that.
Congratulations on your new career!!!
