As an ace PD, Luo Yingshi has extremely distinctive personal characteristics.

When other program groups were still negotiating with the artists, it was he who first set the rule of 'no regrets' in "Two Days and One Night", and rejected the artists' negotiations again and again with an extremely firm position, contributing many wonderful episodes to the audience that they had never seen in other variety shows.

After leaving KBS and coming to TvN, he was the first to embark on a new path of 'moisturizing things silently', giving full play to his ability to find emotion from details with his kindness, and successively produced new variety shows such as "Grandpa Over Flowers", "Three Hours and Three Meals", and "Yin Canteen", which are slightly bland on the surface, but in fact attract countless viewers with a sense of life.

His appearance is not good, but his talent is really not good, I have to admit that Luo Yingshi is indeed a good hand at making variety shows.

People who have the ability to do everything will have their own persistence to a greater or lesser extent.

The same goes for Luo Yingshi.

Let's take the selection of permanent members as an example.

found a group of old men in their seventies and eighties and came up with "Grandpa Over Flowers"; with Li Ruizhen, Cha Shengyuan, Liu Haizhen, Sun Haojun and other actors who rarely or simply did not participate in variety shows, they made "Three Hours and Three Meals"; and found Yin Ruzhen as the chef, and matched her with Shen Jiu, Li Ruizhen, Zheng Youmei and others as helpers to shoot "Yin Canteen".

Again and again, off the beaten path. Every choice of Luo Yingshi is extremely surprising.

changed to other variety show PDs, but he didn't dare to 'mess around' like him. After all, none of these people have proven their sense of artistry in variety shows, and most of them are 'big-name' characters that the variety show team can't think of, and they are not the objects that can be invited casually.

That is, Luo Yingshi. If these people are regarded as the original stones of variety shows, then there is no doubt that Luo Yingshi is the excavator with a unique vision.

All in all, Luo Yingshi has his own ideas when choosing artists, and he is almost not affected by the outside world.

And this time, it would have been no different.

In order to achieve a better purpose, and also considering the compatibility between the cooperation plan and the program itself, when Lin Zhicheng and the Nalan Islands side invited them, they deliberately designated the program "Yin Canteen".

According to Luo Yingshi's thoughts, he actually didn't mean to change the fixed team. In other words, in his original plan, he would still contact Yin Ruzhen, Li Ruizhen, Zheng Youmei, Shen Jiu and others as the previous season, and use them as the team to go to the Nalan Islands for filming.

To put it bluntly, the joke about Lin Zhicheng during the meeting was actually just a casual joke, Luo Yingshi didn't really think about letting a member of Girls' Generation take Zheng Youmei's place according to Lin Zhicheng's 'preference'.

However, just after he got in touch with the four of them again, there was a little surprise.

Yin Ruzhen and Li Ruizhen were the first to agree to the invitation and simply expressed their willingness to participate in this shooting. Shen Jiu was a little hesitant on his side, not because he was old and in poor health, but because he had promised a certain TV series director in advance that he would make a cameo appearance in a certain TV series recently.

The biggest problem lies with Zheng Youmei. Young people are always busier, and when Luo Yingshi got in touch with her, she happened to be participating in the filming of Japanese dramas, and she also served as the second female lead.

Unlike Shen Jiu, who only needs to make a cameo appearance, and the seniority is also very small, it is impossible for the program team to change the shooting plan for themselves and concentrate all their own weight together, and it is still a daily drama that has to catch up with the schedule every day, obviously, Zheng Youmei can only give a reply of 'I shouldn't be able to participate in the filming this time'.

Although he didn't take the initiative to think about replacing people, there was a problem on Zheng Youmei's side, and under the reality of the situation, Luo Yingshi finally had to modify his plan and began to look for a replacement.

……………….

As the inviter and one of the investors, Lin Zhicheng was reminded by Luo Yingshi in advance and did not leave directly after reaching an agreement. Instead, he stayed for the time being, and when the artists were in place and the filming team was formed, he would also go to the meet-and-greet and meet with the big guys first.

Luo Yingshi's work is not something that can be done in a day or two, so Lin Zhicheng also stayed in Seoul for a few days.

Wandering around as a tourist, or going around the TV station with Luo Yingshi's face, Lin Zhicheng visited Seoul in a few days, and at the same time saw a lot of artists who came and went in and out of the TV station up close.

When he received Luo Yingshi's call, he was having lunch with Katherine Clark, because he chose traditional Korean food, and large and small plates were full of dishes.

"Okay, I'll tell the boss. Because she served as Lin Zhicheng's assistant or secretary during this trip, Catherine took the initiative to take on the task of contacting the business. For example, at this moment, Luo Yingshi's phone call was on her mobile phone.

"What's the matter?" Lin Zhichen asked casually with a slice of roasted beef in his mouth.

Putting down the phone, Catherine took the initiative to bring Lin Zhicheng the dipping sauce that was placed a little farther away, and answered his question while placing it in front of him: "It was Luo Yingshi PD who called, he said that there was a small problem in inviting the actors, and now he may have to change the candidate, and he wants to ask for our opinion." ”

"Do you want to replace the entire team, or only one or two people?" While speaking, seeing Clark's clumsy appearance and not using chopsticks, Lin Zhicheng couldn't help but smile and persuade: "Okay, Clark, if you don't need chopsticks, let the waiter replace the knife and fork for you." If you are like this, I can see that I am anxious for you. ”

From a young age, Catherine was raised by John Sr. as her successor. Considering the living habits of the Lin family, in order to allow Catherine to better take over her position, Old John let Catherine get in touch with various traditional oriental cultures early.

Catherine learned to use chopsticks as early as the age of five.

As for Clark, he was not a lifelong employee of the Lin family. It's just for this cooperation that he was temporarily transferred from the island's government department to help, and he has always maintained the habits of Westerners, so he was so embarrassed by two chopsticks at this time.

"Whew, I'll study hard when I go back, let's forget it today. I still want to continue the challenge, but I have a good eye to see the possibility of leaving after a while, and I know that I don't have much time left to fill my stomach, so Clark can only give up the stubbornness in his heart, and greet the waiter a little unwillingly.

Lin Zhicheng's gaze had turned back to Catherine.

"I didn't say it on the phone, I said let's go over and then have a good discussion. Facing Lin Zhicheng's gaze, Catherine gave an answer.

"Alright then, let's finish eating quickly and get over early. ”

Hastily ended lunch, drove the rented car, and after about half an hour, Lin Zhicheng and the three came to Luo Yingshi's studio again.

Maybe he already knew the fact that Lin Zhicheng and the others had already had lunch on the phone, or maybe it was originally a simple character who talked about work first and then talked about other things, as soon as he came up, Luo Yingshi talked directly about business, and did not say polite words such as 'Do you want to order some food first, let's talk while eating'.

Among the original fixed team, teachers Li Ruizhen and Yin Ruzhen have already agreed to the invitation. Mr. Shen Jiu is still negotiating, he is going to play a cameo role in a TV series recently, although that role does not have many scenes, but there may be some conflicts in time, I guess, he may still be like last season, he can only join the filming halfway. ”

First talked about a few candidates who had been determined, and then Luo Yingshi talked about the key points that need to be discussed today: "The only thing that needs to be discussed now is the candidate for 'kitchen assistant'." I've already contacted Zheng Youmei, she is now participating in the filming of Japanese dramas, and she is still the second female lead, so it is impossible to find time to participate in the filming of this season anyway. ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhicheng understood that Luo Yingshi's previous sentence of 'inviting girls' generation' was just a joke.

However, Lin Zhicheng was not angry or dissatisfied, just like Luo Yingshi, what he said a few days ago was just a casual remark, and he actually didn't mean 'it must be a girl' in his heart.

"Is there a candidate to replace her? Luo PD, you should have thought of a few alternates, right?"

"I had a couple of candidates in mind. As he spoke, he took out his laptop from the desk and sat down next to Lin Zhicheng on the sofa, Luo Yingshi quickly entered a few names and called up a few documents from the Internet: "Oh, take a look." ”

The owner of the first information is called Han Zhimin, born in 1982, and is a very beautiful actress.

Lin Zhicheng looked at this information, and Luo Yingshi added on the side: "She and Li Ruizhen have cooperated in the TV series, and after the filming ended, the two continued to maintain a relationship of friends, and they had a good personal relationship with each other." If she joins the filming, she should have a lot of interaction with Li Ruizhen. Moreover, she is also an actress, so she should not recognize her life too much in front of Teacher Yin Ruzhen and Teacher Shen Jiu. ”

"This is Park Shin-hye. Didn't you say before, try to choose an artist who is popular in the Celestial Empire, she is very good. Among the new generation of actors, her popularity in the Celestial Empire can be regarded as very good. ”

"There is also this one, her name is Han Hyo-joo, and she is also a very popular actor. However, it may be slightly more difficult to invite her than the previous two. ”
