Chapter 307 APINK News (Part I)
Before noon, at the recording site of "RunningMan" in Jeollabuk-do, Kim Jong-ming smiled very happily at the braised Scottish sheep that crawled out of the garbage station! To be honest, he has been in a good mood these days, which everyone can see. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, at the same time, somewhere in Seoul, someone has been feeling a little unwell lately.
"Is Miss Chu Long nervous?" PD couldn't help but smile and asked near a certain place where cars came and went.
Chu Long was silent.
Nam-joo and Pu Mei next to him covered their mouths and snickered together, causing VJ to laugh along.
"You have to show your determination, right?" the PD reminded with a forced smile.
"I'm going to take it...... Driver's license. Chu Long replied to the camera with some difficulty. "It's a promise I made to the audience a long time ago, and this is the last two shoots of the final season of 'Apink News', so I only have two chances, and I'm going to give it my all!"
"Pu Chulong, invincible in the world!"
"Park Chulong, for my love!"
As soon as the words fell, Nanzhu and Pumei next to him suddenly raised two cheering cards, and then immediately attracted the camera lens.
"Thank you both very much, but forget it this time!" Chu Long, who was full of concern, snatched the two cheering cards. "What if I can't get my driver's license?"
"Candidate No. 1, Park Chulong!" Just as the three of them were making trouble, the driving school office next to them had already begun to announce the order of this road test. "Let's get started!"
Chu Long was immediately struck by lightning, and the two support cards in her hand slipped to the ground without noticing, she never expected that she would be the first to get on the car, which was a huge blow to her who was already lacking in confidence.
However, even worse is yet to come, the VJ and PD of the third season of "apink NEWs" actually took the camera to the test car after consulting the driving school...... At this moment, Chu Long was even more nervous.
To tell the truth, I don't know if it's the role of the camera, but the attitude of the examiner of this road test is still relatively gentle, which is in stark contrast to the almost pale little face of Chu Long next to him.
However, no matter how gentle the examiner is, it is useless, with 57 points, Chu Long simply lost a precious opportunity for the road test...... Of course, she can take the re-exam again next weekend in ten days, and even if she doesn't pass the re-exam next time, it's no problem, anyway, the days will be long!, but in fact, because she promised the audience and fans in "Apink News" very early on, if she really fails the next re-exam, she may lose face and may even have to apologize publicly...... That's how embarrassing!
However, she went back with her two younger sisters sullenly, but Chu Long couldn't just continue to pull her face, because in addition to the make-up exam a week later, she still had a lot of "Apink News" shooting tasks to complete in the past two days. Just today, they are going to complete the kitchen experience activity, the fitness and weight loss activity, the horror movie activity directed by Pu Meidang, and of course, the road test activity that they just failed...... In fact, if it weren't for the failure to pass this road test, then this group variety show that started with APINK's debut is likely to be completely over in a few days!
To be honest, for three seasons and nearly 40 episodes before and after, Chu Long really wants to give this show a more perfect ending, and this kind of thinking will inevitably make her suffer more about her failure in the road test.
Therefore, it was probably with this mood that Chu Long reluctantly participated in the next day's shooting.
At the same time, the fitness activities on the other side were filmed by the other three of apink in another venue in the morning, which is very neat, in fact, most of the people in apink are also the type that are completely comfortable with fitness and other activities, and even wild children like Endi are still quite addicted to the gym, and the only one who is not very comfortable is probably Naen, who doesn't like activities very much.
However, no matter what, at noon, the six of them came to the kitchen together to carry out a new round of filming activities, and this shooting was also very neat, anyway, Korean variety shows involve cooking, and basically a group of girls are fighting and making trouble with their resentment about losing weight. However, it is barely worth mentioning that in this shoot, Atouchk's façade Nan En had another little episode, she looked very stumbling in front of the kitchen utensils, so that within two minutes the chef noticed her rustiness, and bluntly said that the little girl seemed to have never been in the kitchen in her life.
Actually, the chef's guess was not wrong at all, it is said that Miss Sun Na-eun had a hot hand playing in the kitchen when she was a child, and her mother has never let her into the kitchen since...... The so-called rich daughter of Cheongdam-dong is roughly like this. The speaker was unintentional, and most of the people present didn't care, but the listener was intentional, and Nann, who was more thoughtful, felt a little depressed.
However, this is a summary, because it did not affect the filming itself for the time being, but in the afternoon, there was finally a problem with the filming of the show, specifically the horror movie directed by Yoon Pu-mi!
Well, let's start with the movie.
The answer was given by Choi Jin-ho, who was so happy to see the good ratings of the first two seasons of "Apink News", and directly paid some money as a reward for the mini-games in the show, and then a few of Akink's hairy children made games to get 3 million won, and immediately shouted that they wanted to use the money to make a movie.
The second is the director, who is the director? The answer is Yin Pumei, Erpu's guy still grabbed the director's position by making games.
And then there's the script, where did the script come about? The answer was something that director Pumei himself came up with in his dormitory.
Finally, there are actors, which goes without saying.
All in all, this is a 'movie' born within the APINK group show, and it was born to improve the ratings of the group show and increase the highlights of the ratings, so it was destined to be a child's play movie from the beginning. Even to put it bluntly, this is actually a few bear children who have a hot brain and decide to shoot a few shots with the help of the "Apink News" program team......
But since it's all such child's play, how can there be a problem?
The answer is very simple - our big director Erpu has been confused for three years and really thinks that this is going to make a movie! She wrote the script in the dormitory very seriously, assigned roles very planned, and even went to contact a formal full-time advertising director to take charge of the film!
In other words, no matter how short the plot is, no matter how shoddy the shots are, it is not something you can play with millions of won. In fact, 3 million won is not necessarily enough for a professional photographer in the industry to pay a week's salary, which was previously possible if it wasn't for the "Apink News" program team...... If you can work part-time, then Director Yoon Pu-mi probably has already discovered what he means with 3 million won, and I'm afraid that this money can't even rent the shooting equipment!
"Well, I can consider giving you a cost price. That afternoon, in front of the camera, a director who had filmed the music video for apink seriously considered Pumei's warm invitation. "5 million won, I brought my own professional camera and two assistants, but it needed to be done in a week...... Otherwise, I will delay my official work and lose money!"
The advertising director, who had made a good impression on apink and others in the previous exchanges, was telling the truth, not to mention that there were CUBE staff watching and the camera was around, how could he blatantly hack the other party?
5 million won to hire him, a professional, and two assistants to go to the camera for a week, is really super super cost!
And it was this super cost price that suddenly poured cold water on the great director Yin Pumei's ambition, making her feel like the intermittent autumn rain outside...... Well, maybe it's winter rain, but it's not clear whether it's autumn or winter this season.
However, emotions have an obvious role in driving and spreading, and after saying goodbye and leaving, Pumei was not only completely depressed, but also clearly hung on his face. Therefore, in the nanny car, Chu Long, who was obsessed with next week's road test, and Nan En, who was depressed because of poor performance, finally revealed the emotions in their hearts together.
But the worse thing is actually still to come, halfway through the walk, the only Endi who can still control the atmosphere also leaves in a hurry...... She suddenly receives a notice from the company that there is an invitation to audition for a musical. And with Kanban Niang's departure, the entire apink group seems to have suddenly entered a collective emotional ebb.
In this case, the well-informed program group PD reacted almost immediately, relying only on Nanzhu and Xia Rong, two underage children, it may be difficult for the show to continue filming. So, in the nanny's car, PD and Li Zhengya discussed it a little, and then immediately decided to give up the shooting task and let the APINk people take a break instead, hoping that they can adjust themselves well and continue tomorrow.
At this time, on the one hand, there was nothing to do, and on the other hand, the time to get off work had not yet arrived, and after a slight pause, Li Zhengya still decided to take the remaining five apink back to the company building first, and then let go. As for Chu Long, after a little hesitation, they didn't go back to the dormitory directly, but chose to go to the gym on the ground floor of the company building in a group.
This is also a place they like very much, here, some people can choose to sweat, some people can choose to drink coffee and watch others sweat...... In short, it's just a way of self-expulsion.
However, this method of dismissal was discounted by meeting someone who had been wandering around the cube lately.
"Do you need to find support at this time?" Krystal, who happened to meet apink and others, looked very interested, but in fact, this girl has been quite interested since the college entrance examination.
"What support?" asked Chu Long, who was lying on the table and looked a little listless, slightly tired. "Can you still take the road test for me?"
"Not really. Krystal shook his head. "But Ernie can you get me for surprise training, I'm very good at driving, and I'm getting ready to get my driver's license next week!"
"Can you train for an on-the-spot exam?" Chu Long felt a little angry. "I've been engraved with those things in my head for a long time, but I'm very nervous when I sit with the examiner......"
Krystal shook his head and walked behind his back to the next person with a bad face: "Need support?"
Nann put down the coffee in her hand, looked up at this relative of the same age, first shook her head very slowly, and then asked a question: "It seems that Crystal, you did well in the exam?"
"Not bad. Krystal replied calmly. "So you've been playing wild for the past two days, what about you, Nane?"
"Anyway, there is no problem with Donggu's art special recruitment. Nan replied a little self-teasingly, in fact, the reason why she was depressed because of someone else's ridicule in the kitchen was largely because she had not been very happy these days, on the one hand, she was tired from too many activities, and on the other hand, no matter what activities or things such as the college entrance examination, she did not have a particularly bright performance, which made her inevitably feel a little depressed.
Krystal wanted to say something, but after hesitating, he shook his head and bypassed the deceased, and instead came to the third person with emotions on his face: "This junior Ernie, do you need support?"
Pu Mei was stunned for a long time before she realized what the hell was the name of 'Junior Oni', but she didn't give each other to the tribe like the other two...... In other words, Krystal's relationship with people has always been a combination of ice and fire, and she is sometimes nervous or reserved in unfamiliar people and scenes, and she will not even show a smile, and if she is really familiar with someone, it will be very noisy. And Pu Mei is very similar to her to a certain extent, and after the two gradually get acquainted, they can really talk about it.
"So there's no money, no props, no ...... Actor?" Krystal blankly retracted his gaze from Xia Rong, who was running. "Why are there no actors?"
"Endi is also gone, and I don't even have an actor. ”
"What the hell do you have?" Krystal asked earnestly as he looked at the other man's face.
"I've got a good script!" replied Pumi with the same serious face.
Krystal's face instantly became a little strange, and his eyebrows involuntarily drooped into a figure of eight...... To be honest, at this moment, she felt that compared to the talkative person in front of her, Chu Long's worry and Nan'en's depression seemed quite understandable.
"I really have a good script!" Pu Mei naturally saw some of the other party's mental activities, so she reluctantly emphasized it again.
Krystal rolled his eyes and decided not to bother with the person who drilled the horns: "It's actually okay to have a good script, I heard Wood say, if there is really a good script, then there will be no shortage of investment and actors in the back, and if there is a lack of investment, you can pull investment, if you are really short of actors, you can also ask other idols in your company to help...... The point, though, is that the script is really good. ”
"I think it's a really good script!" Pumei reiterated her 'good script' for the third time.
Krystal tilted his head and thought for a moment, then decided to kick the ball out, "I'm here because Wood and I, Ernie, have just returned from Jeolla Province, why don't you let him read your script?"
Chu Long and Nan En rolled their eyes in unison next to them, how could they not hear that Zheng Ermao was playing football, but Pu Mei's eyes flashed instinctively...... She was tempted.
To tell the truth, if Jin Zhongming makes a statement, then this short film may really be filmed, and it may even be released!
As for the question of whether Pumei dares to go to the other party, there is no real existence, this is not because Zheng Ermao is a broker here, but because every company has its own company's culture.
For example, S.M. pays attention to a rule, both the management of artists and the normal business operation process within the company are very strict, not only is it rare to see the public interaction between the company's senior management and the artists, but even the internal staff is also hierarchical, and the organizational structure is clear and clear, while YG pays attention to a tight outside and loose inside, and it seems to be very strict on the outside, but in fact, all discipline is maintained by the boss's chrysanthemum face, not to mention all kinds of arbitrariness in private, and it is difficult to say whether there is a self-produced and self-sold marijuana on the roof of the YG building, and JYP is there, pay attention to a three-palace, six-courtyard seventy-two concubines, the boss can do whatever he wants, want the moon company in the sky to be taken off, and those who are not favored are better than those who enter the cold palace; there is also CCM, where they also have their own culture, it is said that they pay attention to a boss where he thinks of where he is, everything is based on the boss's cleverness, and never engage in a deep-seated strategic culture......
So back to CUBE...... Cube company has developed to the present, and naturally has a company culture with obvious colors, not to mention anything else, just talk about one of the characteristics, that is, smooth communication between the top and bottom, the company's senior management rarely puts up a shelf to talk about qualifications, and pays attention to a leniency and harmony for artists and the bottom.
The advantages and disadvantages of this approach will not be analyzed for the time being, but this characteristic is not expected to change significantly for a long time, because the reasons for this characteristic are multifaceted.
First of all, of course, because the company's history is too thin and the establishment time is too short, except for the first few veterans, the vast majority of the members of the huge company are actually newcomers, everyone is just here, and most of them have jumped ship...... So why is it who is the predecessor and who is the junior, and how to calculate it?
Secondly, let's talk about several actual leaders of this company, among them, Hong Shengcheng's bodhisattva image is too obvious, this person is very good at communicating with the bottom staff when he is still in JYP company, and often communicates directly with idols and even trainees, otherwise he would not have been able to pull so many people over back then. And Jin Zhongming himself is very young, and there are not many artists signed in the film category, but most of them are his elders, seniors and other figures, and he has actually done more than anything in this regard. Even,Even the image of Choi Zhenhao's cold-faced monster is relative.,If you really compare it with the president of other companies.,You'll find that he's still very talkative.,This guy has appeared in apink's group more than once.,One of them he also allowed Endi to paint an exaggerated comic-style portrait of himself in person.,And after completion, he sneered at Endi's painters!
According to the grapevine, Xia Rong even borrowed money from Cui Zhenhao in private...... The reason is that she needs krypton gold to play games but doesn't have a wallet!
You asked Sunny to borrow money from his uncle?
In short, under the leadership of such a few people, Cube is the case for almost the entire company, and it will never change qualitatively because Hong Shengcheng has left for a few months.
So, after a night, Pumei finally decided to go to Kim Jong Mingla for sponsorship, at least ask the other party to judge his 'masterpiece' with a professional eye.
And along with them, the rest of Apink who were a little helpless and the enthusiastic "Apink News" shooting team.
"So, strange things will happen to people after being bitten by this cat?" Putting down the A4 papers in his hand, Jin Zhongming asked Pu Mei who was standing in front of his desk with a puzzled expression.
"Hey. Pu Mei replied seriously. "I got this cat from coal......"
"I see. Jin Zhongming nodded again and again, stopping the other party's narration. "Coal is really weird. But let's not talk about that, you have to tell me, what happens when a person is bitten by a cat, right? Is it just a simple hospitalization and then waking up with an extra scratch mark on the neck?"
"Isn't it enough?" asked Pumi, confused.
"It sounds like it's just a serious bite. Jin Zhongming asked puzzled. "What's weird?"
Pu Mei couldn't help but scratch her head: "I mean, the bitten person will be occupied by the soul of the cat demon when he wakes up......"
"Where is it reflected?" Jin Zhongming continued to ask rhetorically speechlessly. "If there are no serious consequences, how can you say that people are occupied by the soul of a cat? An extra scar on the neck? That thing is different from multiple tattoos on the neck?"
"I didn't think about it so much......"
"And why coal is qualified to cause this kind of consequence is not explained, is it? Is it a cat demon? Or is it because it has been hurt by someone? Also, in what way does this mode of soul occupation expand and spread, and will people whose souls are occupied by cats continue to bite?"
"I didn't really think about it that much...... "Pumei was already thinking about getting out of here.
"I'll be honest, Pumi. In front of the camera of "Apink News", Kim Jong-myung handed back the other party's masterpiece very cooperatively. "These pieces of paper of yours, let alone a script, don't even tell a story with a beginning and an end, and the logic in them is confusing...... Let's be honest, a fast-food horror movie doesn't have a theme, but at least it has to have a story, right?"
Chu Long and Naen, Nanzhu and Xia Rong, all looked like they knew this before......
Looking at the expressions of the people around him, although he had already given up in his heart, Pumei couldn't help but continue to justify: "I really took it seriously to write ......"
"That's it. Jin Zhongming glanced at Chu Long, who was depressed and didn't talk much at all, and stopped the topic a little arrogantly. "But no matter what, we'll stop here with this 'script'......"
"Yes!" Pu Mei nodded helplessly in agreement, and then prepared to leave. "We ......"
"But since everyone has come, I can't let you go back empty-handed. Jin Zhongming continued, and at the same time secretly glanced at Chu Long again, who was confused and didn't seem to react yet. "Well, I'll write a script for you, and we'll spend ten days making a simple, fast fast-food-style horror movie!"
"Wood, Baker and I want to join in!" Krystal, who was sitting in the corner of the office, held Baker in one hand and held it high in the air, as if this girl was the first to react.
"Yes, you will be the first victim...... "Kim Jong Ming replied calmly.
Chu Long was stunned for a while.
PS: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to delay last night, I was very busy during the day, and I fell asleep on the keyboard when I came back...... It's nothing.,It's not the first time to get up at night.,It's not the first time.,But maybe it's because the air conditioner blows straight on the shoulder.,The right shoulder socket can't stand the pain.,I can't hold up the typing.,The brain is also a mess...... It is often said why the main character gets sick so easily...... It's very simple, because I'm a part-time codeword dog with an impure mind, and when I'm uncomfortable, I want the protagonist to be uncomfortable, so that the dark psychology can be balanced.
