Chapter 133: Things Are People, Not Everything (I)
Artists are always very short-timed, and Kim Jong Ming just said a few words to Apink here, and when he turned back, Krystal had already entered another studio with a baguette. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and when Kim Jong Ming ran back from the studio of the old version of "Let's Play" in a daze and found the right venue, the recording had already begun here.
"Mr. Jin Zhongming?" The program PD standing outside the soundproof wall was pulled back by his subordinates, only to find that it was Jin Zhongming who came.
"Park PD!" Kim Jong Ming also smiled and said hello to the other party, "Let's Play" has been seven or eight years, and the total PD is also the number one person in MBC, it is impossible for him not to know him. "Long time no see. ”
Oh, yes, you...... Do you need to go in?" Park PD was probably a little caught off guard when they met, but he instinctively wanted to invite the other party to the show.
"Okay?" Jin Zhongming couldn't help but shake his head after looking at the people in the studio. "All of them are artists from S.M......"
"Yes. PD didn't say anything more, in fact he now felt that his invitation was a bit presumptuous.
"I heard it's a special feature of S.M?" Jin Zhongming asked casually, and at the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he had caught a glimpse of Krystal sitting below the SJ crowd, the little girl was holding a baguette as strangely as Shirley beside her, but compared to Cui Shirley's bright smile, this girl still looked as cold as always, which made Jin Zhongming shake his head in his heart again.
Actually, as an elder brother, Jin Zhongming understands very well in his heart, although Ermao is the same as Mao Mao who is opposite her. But in fact, Sika is empty and in a daze, and when it comes to entertainment, she is still very good. And Ermao is different, this girl looks like a protective color born because she is afraid of being born, and she lacks entertainment talent. Therefore, it is estimated that she will not be able to have her sister's level in the entertainment industry in this life.
"Actually, the real title is the S.M-Town special. Park PD didn't know what Kim Jong-ming was thinking, but was seriously answering the other party's questions. "Isn't it going to be May, and S.M will be holding a tour in May under the name of S.M-Town, one of which is Paris, this time to warm up......
"I see. Jin Zhongming smiled and nodded. "No wonder Ermao wants to get a French baguette. What's the deal with that glass door, though?"
"Oh. PD laughed. "Isn't this to highlight their popularity in France that they have made a temporary door to the airport VIP lane...... When they appeared just now, they wanted to appear at the airport. ”
"Are you sure that gate is the VIP entrance gate of the Paris airport?" Jin Zhongming wanted to laugh a little, he remembered the appearance of TVXQ and JYJ being blocked by reporters in the afternoon. "Why is it so similar to the passage gate at Gimpo Airport?"
"I'm here from Gimpo Airport. PD replied slightly awkwardly. "We had pictures of the airport in Paris, but it was too much effort to imitate...... That's the most convenient ...... In fact, there is no way, for this kind of activity, whether it is their company or our TV station, we have to show our attitude. ”
Speaking of this, Park PD couldn't help but whisper: "To be honest, Mr. Kim Jong-ming, you still don't understand this kind of thing, isn't it just to fool the audience? I'm not afraid of your jokes, and the video that shows their great popularity in Europe will be shown later, in fact, just those two paragraphs are still hard-cut out, but the top has ordered that they should be played at least twenty times!"
Jin Zhongming nodded repeatedly, of course he knew what was going on.
It's easy for Korean artists to go around Europe or the United States and fool thousands of white fans into coming in to a concert, after all, the cultural life in those two places is very developed, and those people may not recognize who these Asians are, but they will also give face. However, even so, these entertainment companies are also very cautious about similar activities (please refer to wondergirls if you are not careful), because this way seems to get a lot of money, but in fact, because the Korean side has no say in this kind of activity, the majority of the income has long been taken away by the locals in the form of taxes and commissions, and the only little profit left is estimated to be barely making a scrap of food by relying on the exchange rate.
But then again, the fundamental meaning of this kind of activity is not income at all, but a special need in South Korea. This point, listen to the words of this PD, you can understand that after every similar concert, the little enthusiasm shown by white fans in Europe and the United States will probably be amplified by S.M and the three major TV stations without limits, and it is not a boast that a clip can be played 800 times.
Why do you do that? because it's good!
For S.M, they can use this to ask the society and the government for credit, establish their position in the Korean Wave and fight for their privileges, and for the government and the TV stations they control, they can also use these things to fool the people, and then tell the people that we spend so much money every year on the Korean Wave is still very effective, you see, even the white-skinned adults like our culture; as for the Korean people? To be honest, they are also very satisfied, South Korea has a great anti-drug force, and there is no marijuana to smoke, so looking at this thing plus two bottles of soju can actually anesthetize themselves......
In short, one stone, hello, hello, everyone. As for those white fans, someone paid them to behave so hard at the camera...... Well, I'm afraid it's hard to say.
Of course, back to Jin Zhongming, I don't know what's going on, after hearing PD's words, he was a little inexplicably relieved. In comparison, he hadn't been in contact with a TV station for almost a year, and he thought that this place had already been turned upside down with the development of the times. However, whether it was the previous situation in the backstage passage of the music center, or the scene in front of him, or the description of the PD, these things were added together to give him the strange feeling of 'still the original recipe or the original taste'.
So, after having such a mentality, Jin Zhongming talked very openly with PD, and the two talked all the way from the situation in MBC to the ratings of various programs, and from the impact of the rise of cable TV stations on TVB TV all the way to the trend of variety shows. Anyway, the studio in front of me is the kind of breadbox-style studio, and I am not afraid that it will affect the shooting inside.
"What's going on in this studio?" Finally, Jin Zhongming asked about the situation in front of him. "I remember that 'Let's Play' used to be in an open studio over there...... How did it come to this?"
"No way. PD sighed. "As we just said, now indoor variety shows are in decline, and there are even fewer indoor variety shows like "Radiostar" that can still maintain ratings, and "Let's Play" lacks emerging influence other than ratings, and it has been changed I don't know how many times, if it hadn't been seven or eight years since I watched it, and there were still some fixed audiences, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to use the bakery. ”
"And then?" Kim Jong Ming looked at Park PD disapprehantly. "Lao Pu, you are the chief PD of this show, so you haven't thought about how to save it?"
"I've definitely thought about it, in fact, I dream about it every night now. Park PD was even more helpless. "The candlelit night talk mode is a new attempt we have made...... I can only hope that it will survive 2012, then the show will reach the 10th anniversary, and no matter how much you value the ratings, you have to consider its historical influence. ”
Jin Zhongming looked at the white hair on the other party's head, but he just nodded perfunctorily, this is because ...... He is not optimistic about the other party's delaying policy, but it is not easy to say it in front of people. And Park PD also seemed to notice Kim Jong-myeong's perfunctory, so he wisely did not mention this topic again, and the two turned to watch the recording situation in the bakery carefully.
One more thing to say here is that the so-called bakery studio actually comes from an important invention in the history of cinema - prison cell photography. As the name suggests, it is to create a so-called prison cell-style place for stage sets, and then let people act in a movie like a drama in it. Later, this method was a major studio production mode until the 21st century due to its low cost and strong maneuverability, and because of the new era of this kind of prison room studio is filled with a large number of electrical equipment and soundproofing equipment, the outside bulges like bread...... That's how it got its name.
Hawkers, without further ado, in short, this kind of bakery studio has an advantage, that is, the observer on the outside can observe the situation inside like a guard observing the cell, plus the one-way sound equipment, quite a bit of a god's perspective. What's more, Jin Zhongming himself occupies the window of the total PD of other programs, which should be the best observation position.
In the studio, everyone who didn't know anything about it was still recording hard, and Liu Zaishi was as familiar as ever with controlling the scene.
TVXQ, SJ, Girls' Generation, SHINEE, FX...... Although the so-called S.M-Town was not fully present, more than 20 idols still packed the bakery. In this case, who should speak and who should avoid it? Whoever has too much limelight should be suppressed, and who is too silent and should be mentioned? Whose topic is interesting and can be extended, and whose topic is not interesting should be judged? Who can be pulled out as an assistant to adjust the atmosphere, and who needs to be reserved because of the role setting...... These messes are really a test of the MC's skills.
Why do idols have to be respectful to variety show MCs, it's because a fan who is not good at himself will spray people on the Internet, but in fact, people may have done their best!
However, it is obvious that Liu Zaishi, as the only remaining national MC at this stage, is indeed not covered, and all kinds of complex things are handled by him in an orderly manner, and from the perspective of Kim Jong-ming, it is clearer.
TVXQ ...... Feel pretty quiet?" After looking at it for a while, Jin Zhongming suddenly couldn't help but ask Park PD again. "Why didn't Brother Zai Shi take the initiative to talk to them?"
"Actually...... Since that split, the duo has been quiet here. Park replied as he pondered the words. "That trouble, regardless of the specific rights and wrongs, at least in the general public opinion, I still think that S.M Company is at a loss, and the official finally upholds the attitude of supporting JYJ?"
"So...... Do you mean that the pressure of public opinion has been on the two of them since that incident?" Jin Zhongming asked with a normal face, as if the incident had nothing to do with him.
"Hmm. Park nodded. "It's almost a conclusion. In fact, wasn't Zheng Yunhao scolded at that time to get out the symptoms of depression? Although it was obviously because the TV series was not acting well, more attacks still said that he was bought by the TV series, but the TV series acted so badly...... Words like retribution never stopped. And...... Not all the media are giving Mr. Li Xiuman face, and some sharp media will still ask them about them and those three people at every turn, and the spearhead is also faintly pointed at them, so it is understandable that some people avoid this kind of scene now. It's also something that S.M asked for in advance......"
Kim Jong-ming immediately glanced at the entrance of the entire studio, which was full of familiar or unfamiliar artist assistants of S.M Company, and it was precisely because he came to stand with Park PD that the group had to retreat to the position at the door and huddle together.
"Call TVXQ's agent. Jin Zhongming instructed one of Sika's assistants who came running with his beckoning.
The other party didn't dare to say much, and quickly ran back, and after a while, in the nervousness of everyone in the studio, the current agent of TVXQ ran over with an embarrassed face.
"A little eye-catching, huh?" Jin Zhongming frowned.
"I only came here this year to become an agent. "The man spoke with extreme caution, as if he was preparing for some thunderous wrath or something. And the others, including Park PD who was standing on the side, were a little cautious, as if they were preparing to persuade Kim Jong-ming if they were not good.
"When I was at the airport today...... A reporter told me that TVXQ is more active in South Korea than JYJ?" Kim Jong-ming suddenly asked a strange question. "Is there such a thing?"
"Mr. Kim Jong-myung is referring to the fact that we routinely release Korean albums once a year, and they don't release Korean albums at all...... Then we are indeed more active than them. TVXQ's agent looked helpless.
Jin Zhongming nodded: "I know." ”
Do you know? What do you know? TVXQ's agent, Park PD, or a room full of people didn't know what this meant, but after saying this, Kim Jong-ming turned his head and looked into the bakery with his arms in his arms, without the slightest intention of continuing.
The agent was both helpless and relieved, so he quickly avoided it.
At this moment, the bakery has entered the candlelight conversation, and the artists of S.M-Town naturally began to talk about each other's past according to the convention of this session. It can be seen that these people are still very emotional when they talk about their experience of getting along five or six years ago or even earlier, at first they are just emotional, but slowly, there is laughter between boys, and crying between girls.
There are more than 20 people, and it is very lively, and even Liu Zaishi is a little flustered.
But...... When he saw Pani hand Krystal a tissue, Kim Jong Ming suddenly became a little bored.
ps: There are also book friend group 457160898, everyone add it.
By the way, this issue of "Let's Play" was originally after the concert in Paris...... The number of people is also relatively small...... I changed the setting and moved it to the end of April, so I care. (To be continued.) )
