Yesterday's second update!

============

"Jun Hyuk, I almost forgot, give!" When he was thinking about things, he had been holding a notebook to write and draw since he got in the car, and Kwon Bo Geun, who had been calculating the schedule, suddenly remembered something, took out a few pieces of A4 paper from his handbag and handed them over, and in the face of Ahn Jun Hyuk's questioning eyes, he shrugged: "Some information about X-man, as well as the list of guests and resumes that will be present today...... Zhilu said that you don't usually watch variety shows, so I specially helped you collect them. ”

"Xie Lu, Uncle Xie Baogen!"

"You're kind to me. ”

"Huh!"

Ahn Junhyuk shook his head and smiled, regardless of his feigned dissatisfaction, and began to flip through the few casually bound materials in his hand.

Although he doesn't watch variety shows much, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know about X-man, this show that started broadcasting in November 03 has won the first place in the variety show ratings. The ultra-high ratings even directly threaten the status of TV dramas, and it is also from it that variety shows have gradually risen from the bottom of the entertainment industry, and now, a year later, it seems to have become a national trend, and no one can ignore its influence anymore.

And for the S· For Company M, this show has more meaning.

The myth broke up unhappily with the company the year before last, according to the company's consistent wrist from the HOT era, naturally it will not let go of the ban on them, at the beginning, it was blocked and there was no activity to participate, and naturally there was no way to expose the myth of a few people, and the popularity fell rapidly. In desperation, at the invitation of the X-man program team, Andy joined the show as a regular guest from the second episode of the show, and then Lee Min-woo, Junjin and others also participated one after another. As far as Ahn Junhyuk knows, Lee so-man, the actual helmsman of the company at that time, did not take a small variety show in his eyes, nor did he think that Myth could rely on it to do anything, but he didn't expect that it was such a small show that was only broadcast once a week, which unexpectedly helped Myth to recover a lot of popularity that had been lost, caught the company off guard, and when he wanted to exert pressure, he was powerless.

It was the first time the company had made a mistake, and although there was an element of underestimating the enemy, X-man's role in boosting the resurgence of mythology should not be overlooked.

Since then, the company has also begun to notice the power of variety shows, which has been forgotten in the past, but it is just a matter of paying attention, and it is not enough to say how much attention it takes. But no one expected that it would develop so fast, but in just one year, the ratings of the program represented by X-man have become higher and higher, and each episode will set off a wave of discussion and popularity on the Internet. The rising status is so important that singers play songs, actors promote TV series, movies, etc., and they have also begun to use them as an important publicity platform, and those who want to join in are squeezed out.

As far as Ahn Joon-hyuk knows, in order to allow him to participate in the 32nd episode as a guest, Kwon Bo-geun is very active.

In the information, there is not much about the X-man program itself, which is normal, after all, it is just a game entertainment program to entertain the public, and there is no need to set up too many levels and foreshadowing, and the whole program is composed of three small games with very simple rules, namely "Unity Horse Riding", "Of course", "Long live the strong man of love". If that's the case, it's not a bright spot, but the novelty of its design is that at the beginning of each show, the PDs on duty will choose an "X-man" from the sixteen performers of ten men and six women.

This elected X-man is known only to himself, and no one else knows. And X-man's task is to be a mole, find a way to lose his team, and not be found out, so that the task can be completed.

There are also rewards for completing tasks, and the three mini-games of the show will be divided into two groups to compete against each other, and the final winning group will receive a charity prize of 1 million won. Then, after the game, everyone votes to choose who is X-man, and then the selected person stands on the stage and is verified by the program team. If X-man is chosen this time, the charity prize will be donated to charity in the name of all challengers except X-man. If it is not found, the donated prize money will go to X-man's personal name. …,

Celebrities participate in the show and bring ratings to the show. Celebrities also rely on the broadcast of the show to bring happiness to the audience, increase exposure and maintain popularity, and finally donate a charity fund if they win the game to leave a good impression on the audience. And the program team also repays the society through the hands of stars.

It's a triple win, no wonder the show is so popular.

Browsing through the information, Ahn Junhyuk thought secretly. Then I began to look at another list of guests to participate in this issue, Quan Baogen collected it very carefully, which recorded when these guests debuted, what achievements they had, and what they experienced, although there are no too private details, but it is simple but not simple, it can make people grasp each other's preferences for the first time, and strive to leave a good impression when they first meet, which is quite painstaking.

After turning a few pages, a faint smell of perfume suddenly came to his nose, he turned his head to look, and just saw a girl quietly coming over, as if he wanted to see the information in his hand, and then he found out, the girl quickly sat up straight, and smiled a little uneasily.

That's the girl group that the company is going to launch this year, Kim Bo-kyung, a member of "Heavenly Ji-hee", whose stage name is Stephanie.

Since last year, the company has single-handedly planned the model of seniors with juniors (Boa with Ahn Junhyuk) and achieved results, the company has officially included this model in the newcomer's debut plan, and Tianshang Jihee is the first wave of beneficiaries. Tentatively scheduled to release a single in May, they are now working hard to accumulate popularity under the operation of that model, Dana followed Kangta to China for activities, and Lina and Sunday, who had debuted before, went to Japan, led by Boa and TVXQ.

As one of the company's only predecessors, Ahn Junhyuk certainly can't escape the responsibility of bringing juniors, because "1 Minute and 1 Second" has a female vocal part, and it is impossible for Bao'er, who was originally cooperating with him, to give up her trip in Japan to accompany him to sing, so after her debut on the stage, the company arranged Stephanie to replace Bao'er's role, and has been following him recently.

But looking at her, Ahn Jun-hyuk sighed secretly. The company launched them too hastily, and they have not yet determined their style, and it is also a bad move to disperse the members, although many people have paid attention to them now, and even fanclub has been established, but these popularity are vain, if there is no definite style, there is no good song that matches the style, then the popularity comes quickly, and the scattering is also fast.

It was precisely because he understood this very well that he had seen the girl's efforts recently, so he sighed, feeling pity, but there was nothing he could do.

He didn't even have the freedom to produce his own album, and it took a long time for Quan Baogen to fight for the company to agree to him write the title song himself, not to mention that their group was the product of someone's ambition and didn't allow others to interfere at all.

Shaking his head secretly, dispelling the pity that flashed in his mind, after thinking about it, he handed over the information and smiled at the surprised Stephanie: "You also take a closer look, you won't be speechless after a while, if you can get along with these seniors, it will help you a lot in your future development." ”

Stephanie looked at the stack of materials in surprise, then at him, and seemed to forget to speak for a while, but only reacted after a while, and quickly took it, stammering excitedly and bowing in thanks: "Thank you...... Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie senior!"

An Junhyuk waved his hand, "Don't be so restrained, didn't I tell you? You are my junior sister, we are fellow countrymen, and our ages are close, just be friends, there is no need to always care about the relationship between seniors and seniors." ”

"Yes, yes, I know my seniors!"

"......" Ahn Junhyuk rubbed his forehead helplessly, stopped talking, leaned against the window and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

The car was speeding down the road, and its body swayed gently with the occasional bumps, and before I knew it, I fell asleep, I don't know how long I slept, and when I was woken up by Kwon Bo-geun, the car had come to the headquarters of SBS TV in Yangcheon District. …,

The green SBS building, which is dominated by glass, has a modern atmosphere that is different from KBS and MBC, and is a landmark building in Mokdong, Yangcheon-gu. It is also in this building, which is known as a "multi-purpose building" (because it often appears in TV dramas produced by SBS, guest appearances in various fictional TV stations, as well as guest appearances in cafes, high-end office buildings and even airports), that the three major programs that support the lifeblood of variety shows today were born: X-man, Love Letters, and Night Heart!

Ahn Joon-hyuk has never been here, but last week's popular ballad hit the live broadcast venue at SBS in Dengchon-dong, and it was the first time to come here. It's a pity that he didn't have time to visit, because he came after the end of a commercial performance, and the recording time of X-man was almost up, so after getting off the bus, he was surrounded by Kwon Bo-geun and Choi Sung-woo and hurried to the program production team, first met with the PD on duty, and then asked the writer to get the script, so he went directly to the main standby room.

In fact, with his current popularity, there is a single waiting room, but today he came for the first time, as a newcomer, he always has to give a good impression to his predecessors, and as far as he knows, even senior seniors, when participating in this variety show, they will not stay in the single waiting room - there are too many guests, limited shots, don't try to get along with people, just wait for the whole edit!

This experience comes from Kim Jong Kook, and among the people Ahn Jun Hyuk knows, only he has participated in X-man the most times, which can be regarded as experienced, and Ahn Jun Hyuk specially called to ask for advice before coming.

When the group came to the main standby room, Ahn Jun-hyuk was about to knock on the door when he heard a faint voice inside saying, "...... There will be a new person coming in a while, and Jiong Zhen and Hudong will help take care of it more. ”

"Oh, no problem, it's a junior you know?"

"He's so famous, I want to get to know him! It's Zhong Guo, Zhong Guo's friend, who just called me to ask for it. ”

Hearing this, Ahn Junhyuk's heart warmed.

Who is the person who spoke, he has already guessed that it should be the main MC of the show, Liu Zaishi, a nicknamed grasshopper, who has a strong affinity and can be liked by almost everyone, and is also one of the two mountains that support the variety show circle today (the other is Jiang Hudong, who hosts love letters and has a lot of heart at night).

When he called before, Kim Jong Kook only casually mentioned that he was friends with Yoo Jae-seok, because he didn't know how close the relationship between them was, so as not to trouble him, Ahn Jun Hyuk didn't ask him to help say hello, but he didn't expect that he had done it quietly.

Thinking of the guy who couldn't see his eyes when he laughed, and his voice, personality and body type didn't match at all, Ahn Junhyuk smiled slightly, and then knocked on the door, and the sound of talking inside stopped abruptly, he twisted the door open, and bowed to the spacious main waiting room, and the three people who were looking at him that day bowed one by one and said, "Senior, hello! I'm a newcomer Ahn Junhyuk......
