When the flood was raging outside, Jin Zhongming was rarely in trouble and begged for peace, and then went to the TV station to comfort the grassroots people.

"It's rare!" Under a rehearsal stage of KBS TV, Lee so-geun revealed two obvious dark circles under his eyes as soon as he turned around. "Why didn't you see Baker?"

"You know it's rare?" Kim Jong-ming, who was walking along the gap in his seat, was almost not laughed at. "I'm still wearing bandages on my hands, and you don't ask me about my injuries, just open your mouth and ask Baker?"

"You don't understand, Baker can bring people a sense of security, you can't!" Li Xiugen replied shaking his head. "Pets have this kind of power, people don't. ”

"Pets not only have the power to give people a sense of security, but also the power to bite people. Jin Zhongming sat down beside the other party disappreciatively. "Be careful, you know my Baker, but my Baker doesn't recognize you, if you take it as the last Baker and pounce on it, be careful that it bites you to sepsis...... Not to mention, it's really possible with your stature and current state. ”

"Sepsis?" Li Xiugen repeated the word in a trance. "What do you have to bite into?"

"Who knows, just a casual remark. Jin Zhongming replied casually, and then the two closed their mouths together.

Not enough, this sudden round of silence did not last long, because only a dozen seconds later, the rehearsal on the stage officially ended, and out of instinct and habit, Jin Zhongming naturally applauded twice...... Of course, it was just a formal applause, after all, one of his hands was still wrapped in bandages, and it was impossible to make a sound, and even his hands did not really touch at all, just raised his hands to show his politeness to those on the stage.

"You shouldn't be applauding, it's such a waste of time. Li Xiugen glanced at the people around him helplessly, and then applauded twice helplessly.

Jin Zhongming was a little inexplicable, but soon he understood what the other party meant-his polite raising of his hand caused a commotion among those people on the stage out of inopportuneness.

Among these people are a few funny artists, a few vague boy group members, and a few vague girl group members, and then they danced together in a distinctly girl group style. Obviously, this is a kind of funny hot scene that the host and guests do together, and by the way, it should also have the meaning of letting these two idol teams promote their songs.

Of course, there is no time to think about anything, and now these people have taken this opportunity to rush to Jin Zhongming, and then prepare to have an in-depth exchange with him with some polite, naïve, or scheming questions.

As a last resort, Jin Zhongming could only deal with these people with a strong spirit.

The men's group is a newcomer, the new one, called BTS, and I don't know if there are all the people in front of me; The women's group is an AOA that is on the rise, but I didn't see the familiar silly girl, and I didn't see the captain who was somewhat recognizable...... That's all.

"Alright, that's pretty much it. After being entangled for a few minutes, Li Xiugen, who was the senior on the scene, interjected in a timely manner. "You guys really don't think he's a good-tempered person, it's impossible for a good-tempered person to get mixed up with this position, don't look at him now, maybe you'll be annoyed for a long time. ”

"That's ......" Jin Zhongming couldn't help but laugh dryly, but he didn't deny it. "It's a bit excessive. ”

At this moment, the idols and hosts who gathered around immediately became nervous, and disappeared very politely within a minute.

"How do you say that?" Jin Zhongming instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aside from your own TVN, how long has it been since you been in the TV station?" asked Li Xiugen with a sneer, his big head looking particularly funny in the light. "Half a year or a year, or two years?"

"I don't remember. Jin Zhongming's face became dazed, and when he thought seriously and didn't come up with an answer, he shook his head fiercely. "I don't remember. ”

"That's right. Li Xiugen sighed slightly. "You big man, you're out of touch with this ecosystem. ”

"Disconnected? Does it mean that I can't keep up with the rhythm of this place or does it mean that ......?"

"The kind in every sense of the word. Li Xiugen replied knowingly. "The entertainment industry has become so fast, if you don't get in touch for a few months, the popular way of communication and the subconscious culture that conforms to the current social status quo will become unfamiliar, otherwise why are those male artists so afraid of military service? Now the idol is a little younger, and a little more proactive about opportunities and things like that, let me put it this way, if you continue to fool those people just now, they will stay in this place and talk to you, and then the other people in the background will hear the news, and more and more people will gather, and finally you can't get out at all......"

"Come to see the excitement?" Jin Zhongming frowned slightly. "What's in it for them, and I'm not going to pay them, and I'm not going to give them a role because they're around me......"

"So, you're really out of touch. Li Xiugen sneered. "With your current level, where do you need to give it in person? You see, just the things just now, those hosts today will definitely talk about you in the show, and then those idols can post on SNS when they go back, saying that they met you today, and then talk to you about how happy they are...... Maybe the next time you meet a TV station PD or advertiser or the like, they can still bring you out in a grand manner. ”

Jin Zhongming nodded as usual: "This is understandable...... In South Korea, there is a lot of pressure in any industry, and it is better to seize the opportunity and anyone will do it, than to be crushed by the pressure. ”

Lee so-geun narrowed his eyes and did not continue the topic.

"But you're telling you the truth when you say I'm out of touch. Kim Jong Ming continued. "Now I do feel that certain things are becoming more and more meaningless......"

"For you. Li Xiugen added.

"That's right, for me. Jin Zhongming sighed slightly.

"And then there are certain people. Li Xiugen continued to add.

"Perhaps. Kim Jong-ming did not refute anything. "Let me tell you something, RunningMan is at its most rapid surge, and then its influence is rapidly increasing all over Asia, so I can't go. When this year passes, I'm ready to leave the show completely......"

"I didn't say it, you didn't fit in with this show in the first place. Li Xiugen finally came back to a little spirit. "Not to mention the old tune that your identity is different now, you originally withdrew from "Infinite Challenge", and then walked to the peak of variety shows in "Two Days and One Night". The three major TV stations, several famous PDs, that is, Luo Yingshi's PD are the most compatible with you! You just like this kind of documentary-style variety show in your bones...... And Luo PD is not as ruthless as before, he always stops shooting after two or three months, which is more in tune with your current state. Isn't that show where you cooked in a village in Gangwon Province a while ago very interesting? Fame, fortune, and heart!"

"What do you mean, are you quite envious of me?" Jin Zhongming smiled slightly.

"How can you not be envious?" Li Xiugen smiled bitterly. "Who in Korea doesn't envy you?"

"What do you envy me?" Kim Jong Ming smiled. "Do you envy me for being rich, or do you envy me for breaking my hand for acting when I get to this job?"

"All envious. Li Xiugen shook his head. "Who doesn't envy you for having money? But it's a little more remarkable to be able to do what you love so dedicated...... You see, I guess it's impossible to compare with you in this life in terms of money, but it's a bit ashamed to be enthusiastic about your career, after all, we're at the same starting line in this kind of thing. ”

"Not necessarily. Jin Zhongming looked up at the light overhead, and then narrowed his eyes slightly. "Do you know what acting means to me now?"

Li Xiugen glanced at the other party and said nothing.

"It's not a career, it's a kind of spiritual release and recuperation. Jin Zhongming replied to himself. "Every time I deal with all kinds of bullshit things, and after I finish all kinds of intrigues in business and political circles, I will have a feeling of accumulation and depression...... To be honest, this feeling shows that my conscience is still clear. ”

Li Xiugen opened his mouth, but finally remained silent.

"And at this time, if you can find a character that you like, or far from your real life, and then perform it and complete it at all costs...... It's a cool feeling!"

"I'll interject secretly, and you'll assume you didn't hear it. Li Xiugen smiled a little obscenely, or he seemed very obscene. "Sounds a bit like making love...... Isn't it time for the Sage?"

"That's right. Jin Zhongming glanced at the other party again, and then raised his calamitous left hand expressionlessly. "That's when I can calm down and think carefully about the next intrigues, but sometimes I take the opportunity to deal with or decide on things that might give me a headache on a daily basis. ”

"For example?" Li Xiugen laughed dryly. "If you have something to say, just say it, I know very well in my heart, with your current posture of calling for wind and rain, how can you have time to chat with me? It must be that I have caused some trouble, and then you think that my brother and I have been a free driver for you for two years, and there is still a little favor in you after all, so it is rare to deign to come to this TV station to find me...... Don't worry, I can hold on, I can understand whatever you announce......"

"It's good that you're still smart. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "Actually, it was just noon, and an acquaintance from the media came to me, and this person specializes in using news as a toilet flush for politicians, and I had a little ...... with this person Something like that, anyway, if he wants to post some news before October, he has to get my consent......"

"There is no need to explain this, no one wants to be too clear about the affairs of the big people, but who can really not understand?" Li Xiugen smiled a little tiredly. "I have been on TV for so many years, and I can feel the direction and smell of the wind, for the sake of the hardships we have endured together for two years, I will give my brother a happy one. ”

"He told me you were gambling. Jin Zhongming nodded dryly, and then broke a big news. "And in terms of his personality, there must be ironclad evidence in his hands, and considering that he is going to use this kind of news to cover up the current political scandal of whom, it means that you are betting quite a lot this time......"

"Although he knows that he is breaking the law, which Korean male artist doesn't gamble?" Unexpectedly, Li Xiugen admitted it very seriously. "But I'm really older, I went through the way that Zhuo Jae-hoon knew, and then boom, Ahn Seung-ho...... Anyway, many people who are about the same age and are mixed up in the TV station are gambling on that website, including me, many of whom are on the scale of hundreds of millions of won......"

"The nest case, there are so many people, and the amount is so large, it is really easy to detonate eyeballs. What's more, listen to what you mean, these people are still KBS and belong to the direct control of the Blue House, and even as far as I know, the gambling site itself is made by an underworld boss who has a relationship with the bigwigs of the Blue House's political and legal department......

"Absolutely. Li Xiugen sighed slightly, and there was still a little trembling in his tone. "I can't run away, but I have to quit all the shows before I can go to court, and I hope that those big names will be punished lightly for the sake of my proper cooperation, so that I can come back in two years. ”

"Is the child's pressure more intense?" Jin Zhongming suddenly raised his intact right hand inexplicably, and then pressed his upper lip and sniffled.

Li Xiugen did not admit or deny it, but fell silent.

In other words, the reason why those people in "Two Days and One Night" are obsessed with this show is not only because it has created an irreproducible miracle in the history of Korean variety shows, nor just because this show has also brought these MCs an explosion in their careers, in fact, in those two years, almost every member of the show coincidentally embarked on the fast track of their own lives!

Among them, Jiang Hudong had his own children during the rise of the show, Yin Zhiyuan made a marriage contract with his childhood sweetheart during that period, Jin C also secretly had feelings with his makeup artist at that time, and even Jin Zhongming ...... And back to Li Xiugen, he also met his current wife during that period, and then got married and had children.

However, the next thing is well known, when the show came to an abrupt end, almost everyone's fortunes also suffered a cliff-like collapse, but some of this collapse was reflected in the careers of some members, and some were reflected in the emotional lives of some people.

For example, Luo Yingshi pd and Li Minghan pd and the main creator of the entire program group, they were squeezed out by KBS as a whole, and then they couldn't get a new life after struggling to support them, so they had to switch to TVN;And Jiang Hudong and MC Meng, not to mention, although there is nothing wrong with their respective families, but their careers have suffered a devastating blow, and both of them almost went to prison;As for Yin Zhiyuan and Jin C, they are the opposite, there is nothing wrong with their careers, but they have also paid a heavy price for their feelings, both of them are typical marriage failures, and Jin C has not yet sorted out his ex-wife and the makeup artistEven, let's be honest, even Jin Zhongming has not escaped this curse to some extent, he has also suffered a heavy blow in his love life, which makes him cautious in this regard!

However, compared to these people, Li Xiugen's luck seems to be much better.

You know, before the show started, he had almost nothing, just a poor bastard. And with the explosion of the show, he, like everyone else, basically got everything he could. And what's even more terrifying is that when the show ended and everyone else lost some precious things, he didn't even show much bad luck - his career continued to move forward, his family was harmonious, and even his wife became pregnant again after the first season of the show, and then gave birth to a second child for him.

However, it was this child who made Li Xiugen quickly understand that his fortune for many years was probably coming to an end!

In fact, as soon as the child was born, the doctor informed Li Xiugen of a terrible reality, his second child suffered from cerebral palsy, the left side of the brain was not fully developed, and the right side of the body was basically unable to move normally after birth.

In all fairness, this pressure is too much for a father! So, a middle-aged Korean man who is caught under this kind of pressure, and can't drink too much because of his work, so he can only go to gambling on gambling sites, seems to be understandable to some extent.

In this way, in the face of such an inquiry, Li Xiugen was silent for a long time. However, Jin Zhongming has always looked as usual, just quietly waiting for the other party to reply...... As the other party said, after being a free driver for two years, there is no friendship anymore, let alone how many times during that period there are times when we share joys and sorrows and enjoy a cake or a bowl of instant noodles together.

"Gambling is a crime after all. Li Xiugen sighed again. "Using your child's disability as an excuse...... I still can't do this kind of thing, after all, I can't control myself! I have nothing to say!"

"No matter how great you say, it's useless. Jin Zhongming twitched his nose a little abnormally. "I didn't want to protect you in the first place. Actually, I had already explained to the man before I came, it was his business, and I had no reason not to let the family earn their share of the hard-earned money......"

"I understand. Li Xiugen nodded, unable to see any expression.

"But I had a little agreement with him, and I said that he would not be allowed to open until October, so I still tricked him for the sake of my face. Jin Zhongming continued. "So he's going to break the news again at the beginning of October!"

Li Xiugen's eyes glowed with a slight brilliance.

"Now I'm giving you a chance. Jin Zhongming finally ordered. "Explain to your family, especially your mother, who has heart disease, and your wife, who has been doing rehabilitation training for your children, in private, so that they will be anxious when the time comes. Then, as soon as the news came out on October 1, he went directly to turn himself in. Finally, don't talk about buddy righteousness, you can't mention this matter to those people!

Li Xiugen nodded again and again, and then stood up: "Don't worry! Thank you! I've been driving you for two years in vain, and I'll send you!"
