Chapter 008 Continuing to Reason (II)

PS: Don't you know that my temperance is the best in Korean entertainment?! I am still discussing in the group whether I will lose my temperament! Of course, the neuralgia in the back of the head has been significantly worse recently, and everyone can tell me if you find a typo, omission or unclear paragraph...... I'll make it right. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"First question. Jin Zhongming asked calmly with a skewer of grilled sausages. "What do you think is the theme of the show "Youth Undefeated"?"

"Of course it's youth. Li Xiuman stretched out his hand and replied. "Is there a second theme? Youth is the theme, and because idol is an indispensable element of Korean youth, seven idols of all kinds, age, appearance, debut time, popularity, and image, are actually all different. ”

"The first question is wrong. Jin Zhongming, who was chewing the grilled sausage, gave the other party a slap in the face. "You're talking about ideas, not themes...... Of course, this does show that you have carefully studied our "Youth Undefeated". ”

"What's the theme?" asked Li Xiuman with a serious frown. "It can't be farm work, right?"

"Almost, so to speak. Jin Zhongming's answer caught the other party a little off guard. "It's farm work, or hardship. Don't be unconvinced, seniors, this is a show for the public, it's not enough to have stars or idols, it needs to have a positive theme, or something positive...... It sounds like a big deal, but it's actually exactly what it is. "I Knot" shows the beauty of love and marriage, "Infinite Challenge" shows several old men below the national average line struggling to realize their life dreams, "Two Days and One Night" shows the whole country the beauty and humanity of a small place and wild place, and the real family atmosphere in the first season of "The Birth of a Family...... These things may not make a show successful, but if you don't have it, it will definitely not succeed. ”

Li Xiuman's brows have become Sichuan characters, he really doesn't think this thing is a secret, who wouldn't do it if he fakes Dakong? Lin Yun'er is still crawling in the quagmire in "The Birth of a Family Season 2...... But he also gritted his teeth and asked Lin Yuner to do it, although this was to save the declining ratings, but it was true that he also let Lin Yuner do this, who would dare to say that Lin Yuner didn't pay the real thing for this show, and who would dare to say that there is no positive energy in it?

"Back to "Undefeated Youth". Jin Zhongming continued. "Youth is indeed a concept that never goes out of style, but if it is just a group of beautiful idols showing their youth in the pool...... Hehe, that's called spring, not youth. Therefore, the only way to do this is to let them go to the countryside, endure hardships, and work hard...... It doesn't matter how unpleasant the word may be, but it is true, and it is only in that environment, starting from a dilapidated house, doing it yourself, from nothing to a real small village...... This is a theme that fully shows youth. The so-called positive energy and theme are actually a very serious matter, not for you to deliberately show anything, but for you to seriously surround it and persevere...... I have always had a point of view that variety shows need to be interpreted with sincerity......"

"Don't talk nonsense. Li Xiuman instinctively retorted. "Does this kind of thing like a variety show still rely on the expression of true feelings? G7 which one doesn't rely on its own role positioning? It's just that the acting is good and the acting is like, so it will ...... I mean you should tell me how to structurally integrate idol into a variety show, it's like ...... Like, I mean, I don't have the luxury of word-of-mouth, box office, ratings, I just want to do a business based on commercial investment...... It's like...... superimposing the group variety with fan effect on this kind of large-scale variety show, everyone is mutually beneficial and win-win...... Playing variety shows with a few idols is the model you created with "Undefeated Youth", ......"

"Senior, you're thinking too simply. Jin Zhongming already felt a little after a few glasses of wine, and the amplitude of his gestures began to increase involuntarily. ""Youth Undefeated" is not called superimposed, and the seven of them are not like the group comprehensive relying on fans to gain momentum. Actually, your fan effect doesn't exist in my show at all! This show is not as simple as you think, at least the seven girls are all sincere in their own efforts, and what they show and attract the audience in it has nothing to do with your idol fan theory!"

"Tell me about it. Li Xiuman did not give up.

"Would you rather hear the long or the short?"

"It's long, anyway, I have time today, huh...... Let's start with Sunny!"

"Sunny can't say...... It's too familiar to both of us, and it can't help but be biased when you say it. ”

"Let's talk about Goo Hara. ”

"Gu Hola is from my company, and I'm afraid that you will think I'm selling melons in Wangpo. ”

"Tell me about Yoo...... Park Hyo-min. ”

"I don't want to mention her, it will arouse my sadness, I broke up with Eunjing, you know?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Oh!...... Let's talk about Narsha, the oldest!"

Jin Zhongming didn't find a reason this time, he groaned for a while, and began to comment on Narsha from the perspective of the main MC of the show: "Narsha in the show, which scene does the seniors think she is the most impressive, and at the same time lays the foundation for their own role positioning?

"Nonsense, I'm going to watch an episode more than five times!" Li Xiuman replied disdainfully. "I thought I had seen it through, so I tried to imitate you for "The Birth of a Family Season 2"...... Back to Narsha, that, the most iconic scene is when she stuffs apples into her chest and pretends to be a big-breasted woman...... Right?"

"It's weird, isn't it?" Jin Zhongming said as he looked at Li Xiuman, who had a strange tone. "Her seemingly unhealthy behavior, if it is put on ordinary celebrities, it is estimated that most of them will be scolded for hypocrisy and stealing the limelight, ......right? In fact, it feels very real, but it seems very unpretentious and natural...... Isn't that right?"

Li Xiuman was speechless.

"30 years old. Jin Zhongming poured himself another glass of wine. "It's a so-called youth endpoint, just like the song says, 'I don't believe you're a female classmate with no story'......"

Li Xiuman glanced at the other party strangely, he was sure that he had never heard such a song.

However, when it comes to the words "childlike", Narsha is perhaps the most 'naΓ―ve' of them. First of all, she enjoyed the show. She doesn't care about her image, often laughs at her age, is very engaged when she plays games, and is always innocent and unrestrained. ”

Li Xiuman nodded.

"Secondly, Narsha's dress is undoubtedly the most 'childish'. She often wears exaggerated double ponytails, often wears a bow on her big glasses frame, and even boasts when she sees herself embroidered with cartoon patterns on cotton pants...... What do you mean by that? I'm a little dizzy. ”

"'Ah, why am I so cute today!'" Li Xiuman took the initiative to add to the somewhat drunk Jin Zhongming.

"Yes!" Jin Zhongming nodded. That's it. And I'm telling you, these things are not what we deliberately asked her to do, this eldest sister is such a girl, those things are real, she just dresses herself like a cute girl in high school, just like cosplay, and occasionally sells cuteness to the camera, not ashamed...... But ......" Kim Jong Ming lowered his head. "She's 30 after all, and she has a mature side after all. She's always the one who takes her work the hardest...... She understands this, and we don't need to say that she is also the most silent and serious one when she is working...... And her relationship with the old grandmother in the village, considerate, kind, sensible, right? Narsha is not playing at all, she is the eldest daughter in this program group, she worries about everything, cares for her elders, and can take care of everything in an orderly manner. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Zhongming was silent for a while, then turned his head and stared at Li Xiuman's eyes with a drunken gaze: "Back to the question you care about, what is the significance of a 30-year-old person like her in a program with the intention of youth? How can she gain popularity? Let me tell you, people older than her will think that she is the so-called 'once young', and people younger than her will think that she is 'just in her youth'!" You didn't understand these things, so why did you come here to discuss with me the gains and losses of Sunny and Yuli in this show?"

"What about Kim Hyun-ah?" Li Xiuman was silent for a moment before continuing to ask. "She cries and cries all day long, and she can't endure hardship. When it's cold, she is the only one who can wrap in a cotton coat, she peels apples really well, but when she is broken, she cries and asks for compensation, and even when she climbs the mountain, she has to carry Kim Tae-woo on her back...... Why was she able to get such popularity from the show, isn't this the so-called fan effect?"

"Kim Hyun-ah's thing couldn't be simpler. Kim Jong-ming was a little disdainful of Li Xiuman's ignorance. "She's just a child, busy, sometimes willful, sometimes vexatious, sometimes coquettish to adults, but that's based on the premise that more often than not, she's willing to obey the commands of our people. Moreover, what you said is not because she has a bad heart, but because she really doesn't know where the road is, and she really doesn't know what to do, so she needs someone to guide her, and then she hums and complains while wiping her tears, but she will continue obediently. You are also a father, do you say to yourself, isn't such a child cute? Or do you think about harming people every day, thinking about the trainees and idols who manage your own company every day, and you have forgotten what it feels like to be a father at all?"

Li Xiuman stared at the other party deadly, but he didn't say a word of rebuttal.

He poured himself another glass of soju, but Jin Zhongming didn't drink it directly this time, but pointed behind him: "Senior, have you noticed?"

"What?" Li Xiuman's tone didn't know what was going on, and it became a lot more amiable.

"We've come all the way, and there are a lot of people who take pictures with their mobile phones, right?"

"That's right. ”

"But not many people came to me for autographs, did they? Or maybe very few people came along the way?"

"yes. ”

"Are there still a lot of people blocking the door of your company?"

"It's getting less and less. ”

"Times are different. Jin Zhongming pouted. "And it's moving forward at a rapid pace all the time. Nowadays, it is too simple for everyone to obtain any information on their mobile phones and computers, so almost everyone can think independently except for a few brain-damaged or underage children......"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"I want to say that everyone is not fooled, whether it is fans or viewers, everyone understands people. Whether you are doing the show with your heart or making their money with your heart, they actually know it clearly. If you look at your company's movies, those TV series, and that variety show, what are those things? Just thinking about making money, do you think the audience can't see your purpose? Do you think they can't feel your perfunctory?"

Li Xiuman's hand trembled a little.

"So. Jin Zhongming smiled drunkenly. "It's not impossible to make money in variety shows or film and television dramas, but either you have to invest in sincerity and make them moved, or you have to show a professional attitude to treat these things and make a fair deal...... If you don't understand this truth, you shouldn't take bean bags for dry food! If you talk too much, you certainly don't understand, but give you an example that you should be familiar with. It's like a song, the main theme comes out, and you need to write lyrics, arrange, and choreograph around it...... Anyway, you have to make a whole song around such a thing, you can't repeat the main theme 20 times and have the members of the group do 20 splits on stage, and that's it, right?"

From beginning to end, he couldn't eat a mouthful, but Li Xiuman, who was listening carefully to the other party's words, suddenly froze. In fact, he was already very smart and comprehending, but he was just blinded by something. But now, the other party's last analogy simply made him wake up like an initiation.

Before, he Li Xiuman always kept thinking about how to use the platform of variety shows to convert the popularity of idols into realistic benefits such as ratings and sponsorship fees, just like things like concerts and autograph sessions, which are the kind of things that are directly exchanged for money...... But in fact, the other party's analogy made him suddenly understand, it turned out that he had made a mistake, and it turned out that his mentality was not right!

Whether it's a variety show, a TV series or a movie, it's not a platform...... They are first and foremost a work, just like a song and an album that he is very familiar with, a literary and artistic work that needs structure, theme, beauty, rhythm, execution and expression!

It's just that because I've been in the perspective of idol practitioners for a long time, I always can't help but regard things other than albums, music, and dance as purely utilitarian accessories. As a result, although a lot of money and manpower have been invested in these fields, in fact, the operation is instinctively based on the platform, that is, the film and television variety show is regarded as something that deliberately shows idol, and ignores the perfection of these things themselves.

This is the root cause of the failure of the film and television strategy he promoted and the variety show strategy he assisted!

So, what Kim Jong-ming said was right.

"So...... Predecessor. Jin Zhongming lowered his head and drank it all. "Can we get back to Yuri and Sunny?"

"You say. Li Xiuman, who came back to his senses, replied in a low voice.

"Although I don't want to say much about the specific performance of Yuli and Sunny in this show, but the fact that they can have this harvest and evaluation now actually shows that they have paid a lot in the show. It's not easy for this show to get to this point, and more importantly, ......"

"What's more important?"

"Even if it's them...... If you want to give your sincerity to a show again, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future. As you get older, your debut years are getting bigger, your surroundings are changing, and people's hearts are changing...... Even Xu Xian would talk and laugh with people at the banquet with a red wine glass, and even Yu Li, who had always seemed to be vacillating about things, could shout and confess to me after drinking too much at this stall...... What's not going to change?"

Li Xiuman's eyes became strange.

"Don't look at me like that, we're talking about variety shows. In this way, a variety show where all the members have paid their sincerity is not only rare to see now, but also less in the future, so in terms of value, this variety show will not be limited to a late-night rating, it will continue to ferment on the network in the future, and it will also become a benchmark in the industry...... Therefore, you shouldn't be so short-sighted in terms of ratings, the value of this show will continue greatly in the future, and for those two people, this is probably the only one, gone, get off, and you will never feel it again...... Therefore, they really shouldn't go, and I'm afraid, even if the interests of Japan are tempting, they are a little reluctant in their hearts; more importantly, this variety show is also the only one for me, and a variety show with this feeling, if you want to find it again, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack...... So, I won't let them get out of the car!"

"I only understood the first reason...... And it wasn't enough for me to convince the company. Li Xiuman responded seriously.

"The second season of "Undefeated Youth" is for your company. Kim Jong-ming added a condition. "I said it. ”

Li Xiuman nodded and shook his head again.

"As for Sunny and Yori, let's be honest. Jin Zhongming continued to say with clear eyes. "You, as Sunny's guardian, or Yuli's parents, have also handed her over to you, they are growing up, their minds are changing, and you have an obligation to protect and guide their growth...... At this time, tell them to sacrifice a little income and choose a little hardship, and they will be grateful to you in the future. Isn't that right?"

Li Xiuman shook his head and nodded again.

"Finally, don't underestimate my determination. Jin Zhongming hugged the other party's shoulder, and the smell of wine sprayed on the other party's face. "If you really want to forcibly take them away, then take them away, anyway, I will let the program team tell the media that they are just taking a week off, and it is your freedom not to let them come back when the time comes...... Don't look at me like that, the reason why I have gone to such great lengths to reason with you has actually explained some problems and attitudes, I know what is more important and what is not...... I'm better than you on that!"

"Really?" said Li Xiuman with a dry smile.

"Yes!" Kim Jong Ming was very serious.

"For young people, falling out of love is a good catalyst for growth. Li Xiuman said with a smile. "Yuri confessed to you right in front of this stall?"

"That's right. Jin Zhongming turned his head to look at the stall owner. "Boss, I guessed right, it was Yuli at the time, right?"

"You're not mistaken. The stall owner, who was leaning on a green pepper, replied calmly. "That time you shouted out after you got drunk and it was indeed Girls' Generation Kwon Yoo-ri, I like her appearance in "Youth Undefeated", I won't admit it. ”

"Look ......"

"Broke up?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes!"

"If you think about my niece...... I'll try to talk to the people in the company about letting them stay in "Youth Undefeated......"

Jin Zhongming pouted and stood up: "Director Li Xiuman...... I was taught a lesson the other day!"

"What?"

Jin Zhongming turned his head and replied as he walked back: "Please don't mix interests in your relationship, whether it's passive or active, it will ruin your love!

"You're too sensitive!"

"I just wanted to tell the seniors. Jin Zhongming looked back at Li Xiuman, who was still sitting in front of the barbecue stall, and said with a smile. "We'll make our own decisions about what happened to Sunny...... Don't get involved with you, who have too many interests to me. ”

"Whatever. Li Xiuman nodded.

Jin Zhongming turned his head and left, but as soon as he took two steps, the man behind him stopped him again.

"Zhong Ming!"

You say. ”

"You know someone who ...... Forget it!" Li Xiuman wanted to speak and stopped. "Sunny and Yuri said yes. ”

"Thank you very much. Jin Zhongming walked away, and there was no drunkenness in his body.

Quietly watching the other party walk away, Li Xiuman sighed, just now he actually revealed a little extra news to the other party, for the sake of the other party being very reasonable today...... But after all, he chose to wait and see.

Years of adversarial relationships are not so easy to let go of knots.

"Mao Mao!" After ten minutes, Kim Jong-ming, who had calmed Sunny and Yuri and sent them off the elevator, suddenly stopped Sika as soon as he entered the house.

"What?" Sika was at a loss.

"I remember I wrote you a song with a Japanese version...... Remember?"

"yes, let's go to Busan before we debut...... When I got to know Endi. ”

"What are you going to do with it?"

"Isn't this going to Japan?" replied Sika warily. "You told me at the time that the true meaning of this song is in the Japanese version, and I have kept it until now, of course, to take it out and add icing on the cake to give us girls' generation......"

"I repented. Jin Zhongming tilted his head and interrupted the other party. "I'm going to give that song to Kara...... Retaliation for Li Xiuman's play for me. ”

"I'm against it! That song is my ......"

"Opposition is invalid!" Kim replied domineeringly. "But I can give you 100 million won in compensation...... How?"

"......," Sika rubbed her hands together hesitantly. "120 million?"

"Deal!"

"It's really undisciplined!" Zheng Ermao next to him said indignantly. "The white wolf with empty gloves took away so much money...... This world is really getting more and more excessive!"

At the same time, adhering to the principle of the older generation not wasting, Li Xiuman had just cleaned up the half bottle of wine in front of the table and the things that had been baked, and after putting down the wine glass, he was also about to leave in a strange mood.

"Director Li!" At this moment, the owner of the barbecue stall calmly stopped the other party.

Li Xiuman didn't know why: "What?"

"Promise 207,000 won, erase your change, 200,000 won!" the boss calmly stretched out his hand.

"......" Li Xiuman realized that he had forgotten to bring his wallet.
