Chapter 157 No Kidding?!

Cha Tae-hyun's reply was very fast, and that night he called to invite Kim Jong-ming to his house the next day, saying that he was going to sweep the couch to greet him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Family gathering, let's feel free and bring Baker over, my child likes that kind of big dog very much, but he didn't dare to raise ......" This is Cha Taehyun's original words.

Since people's attitudes are so positive, Jin Zhongming will naturally cooperate. So, the next morning, when he went to Cha Taehyun's house, he not only led Baker, but also brought Krystal, who happened to have time, and the brother and sister carried a small gift for a four-year-old child, and the other led a dog, each dressed in household clothes, and went to Cha Taehyun's residence Yiran.

However, to Kim Jong-myung's surprise, it was not only Cha Tae-hyun himself and his family of three who came out of the other party's house to greet him at the door of the apartment building...... Well, or a family of four, because Mrs. Cha Tae-hyun is pregnant with their second child at the moment, and it has been five or six months...... In addition, Kim Jong Kook, Cha Taehyun's best friend, also appeared in the ranks of greetings. However, considering that Kim Jong-myung met Kim Jong-kook through Cha Tae-hyun, coupled with the friendship between the two, the appearance of the other party is not so abrupt.

Cha Taehyun's house is not a so-called mansion, he is the same as Kim Jong-myeong's choice, he just bought a larger apartment in an apartment building closer to his parents' house, and it is on the second floor, and he needs to take stairs. So naturally, everyone didn't say a few words outside, but quickly entered the house, and then began to greet each other.

"Su-chan really likes Baker......" Kim Jong Kook looked at Cha Taehyun's son, who was holding Beck's ear and was reluctant to let go, and he didn't know if he had any feelings. "Or maybe kids really like this kind of big dog. ”

"Brother Zhong Guo's age is also up......" Jin Zhongming couldn't help laughing. "Why bother looking at other people's children every day? Sister Enhui has been very idle recently......"

Kim Jong Kook was very thin-skinned, and he made a big splash in an instant.

"Zhong Ming, don't pay attention to him, we urge this kind of thing every day, and he probably has calluses in his ears. "Cha Tae-hyun is used to it. "But it's almost natural for a child to like a dog, and if his mother hadn't been pregnant again, I'd have gotten one for him...... This guy likes to pinch the dog's ears every day, and the puppy on the other side runs away when he sees him now...... But Zhong Ming, your new Baker is really honest, a little different from the Baker on TV before...... Is it because Krystal is watching?"

"It's not. Jin Zhongming shook his head. "This Baker's character is like this, kicking it and it doesn't move, in fact, this is the real character of the Great White Bear Dog, but it is the last one, probably because it grew up during the time when Sika and I were the most mischievous, and this was broken. ”

"What kind of people have what kind of pets. Cha Tae-hyun couldn't help but laugh. "The same person has different pets at different times, which is really interesting, and if our family raises it, it will definitely be lively...... Come, coffee. ”

Kim Jong-myung nodded, picked up the coffee cup on the table, and at the same time couldn't help but glance at Cho Tae-hyun's wife, Choi Se-eun, who got up to deliver a drink to Krystal.

Anyway, the pregnant lady had just served four very different drinks - an iced latte for herself, a warm black tea for her husband, a cold white boil for Kim Jong Kook, and a mango juice with ice for Krystal.

The so-called virtuous help, that's probably it.

"Stay here for lunch. Cha Tae-hyun immediately guessed what Kim Jong-myung was thinking. "Your sister-in-law's skills are very good, and you are not like some people, you have to soak in water for half an hour to eat a kimchi...... I don't know the true meaning of life at all!"

Kim Jong Kook was shot again, but it is estimated that there are too many critical hits from Cha Taehyun, and he has already adapted to them, so he didn't react much.

That's exactly what I mean. Jin Zhongming also immediately accepted the other party's good intentions with a smile, in this kind of metropolis, leaving others to eat at home is a very sincere attitude, unless you want to give the other party a face, it is difficult to refuse such an invitation.

"Wife...... Did you hear that?" Cha Tae-hyun immediately looked at his wife who had just sat down on Krystal's side with a smile. "Don't forget to take off your makeup later...... When she heard that you were coming, she got up at six o'clock this morning to put on her makeup, and asked me if I would call you by name or 'uncle'......"

Rao is Jin Zhongming's determination is extraordinary, and he almost didn't spray the coffee after hearing this. In other words, of course, this kind of joke can't be taken seriously, but it can also be seen that the couple is really in love, and Cha Taehyun's sense of humor is almost engraved in his bones, and he can come at his fingertips without leaving a trace.

In this way, after everyone chatted casually under the guidance of the host, the atmosphere quickly became comfortable, and the topic began to move to the main thing step by step.

"The social status of variety artists is indeed far inferior to that of filmmakers. "Kim Jong Ming is not a person who pretends not to see reality. And the reason for this status quo is actually the issue of social discourse, the discussion of social issues on variety shows can only be limited to a few sentences of irony, and the style itself is not high at all, but the key point is that everything you do in variety shows will be limited by the TV station itself, and you can't jump out at all. ”

"That's the truth!" Cha Tae-hyun nodded repeatedly. "Just look at MBC's fuss all day long, isn't it caused by the inconsistency of attitudes between the TV station and those programs below? ”

"yes. Kim Jong Kook also interjected. "And the issue of identity is actually not a problem for you Taixian, you have been an actor for so many years, and the matter of starting a family has long passed, and your social status is stable at this time...... What's more, variety shows also have a big benefit......"

"The so-called 'national degree'. Jin Zhongming nodded knowingly. "In fact, it means that if you can play in variety shows, it is easy to brush up on the national favorability, which is indeed a ...... A good platform to win the love of the people. But these are not what I want to say, what I want to say more is that you have been resident in a variety show and have become a recognized variety artist, but it does not affect your own job...... It's actually a trend. As far as I know, many variety shows are trying to expand the main personnel of the show to a larger scope, and I estimate that it will not be long before we see the more humorous chefs, teachers, and makeup artists in life become the core force of variety shows. And the form of variety shows will become more novel, these are actually a trend in front of us...... Of course, this has little to do with Brother Taixian, because the show I want to invite you to participate in is still the current mainstream outdoor large-scale interactive variety show...... In terms of your coffee position, it is definitely not the kind of small variety show that is taken out for experimentation. ”

After listening to Jin Zhongming's formal invitation, the dragon brothers in front of him glanced at each other, and then nodded together.

Subsequently, Cha Taixian cleared his throat and got to the point: "Zhong Ming, I thought about what you said last time after I came back, and I discussed it carefully with my wife, brother, and friends, and finally I think it should be okay for me to play variety shows." So let's do it, Joong Ki gets off "Runningman" and I'll make it up, how about it?"

Kim Jong-ming didn't look at Cha Tae-hyun, but stared at Kim Jong-kook for a while, and didn't speak for quite some time. At first, the two people on the other side thought that he was brewing emotions, and then formally replied! However, after a while, these two people were a little puzzled, because Jin Zhongming's eyes and expression obviously had a trace of embarrassment, or he couldn't feel crying or laughing.

"This, what's going on?" Kim Jong Kook finally couldn't help but ask for his buddy. "Could it be that Runningman has other plans these days?

"Hey. Jin Zhongming finally couldn't help but smile awkwardly. "Of course, nothing has changed with Runningman. It's just that I just found out that I was probably too busy a few days ago to explain things clearly, so Brother Taixian seems to have a misunderstanding...... In fact, what I meant at the beginning was that I wanted Brother Taehyun to be the main variety show that KBS was about to restart, that is, the main MC of "Two Days and One Night Season 2", and I didn't invite him to "Runningman". And the so-called 'one up and one down' with Joong Ki is actually from the perspective of all the variety shows that our cube has invested in, not from the perspective of the program team...... How's that, what does Brother Taehyun think of this invitation?"

Cha Tae-hyun and Kim Jong Kook looked at each other.

"Actually, I'm really to blame for this. Jin Zhongming's face was full of chagrin, and he felt that he might not get any answer today. "If you think about it, whoever thinks I'm talking about 'Runningman', right?"

"Actually, "Two Days and One Night" is not impossible!" Unexpectedly, this time Cha Tae-hyun had a very short time to think, and it can even be said that he didn't think twice.

"Oh?" Jin Zhongming was surprised.

"My previous hesitation was only on two things, one was whether I could be on a variety show or not. Cha Tae-hyun pouted and shook his head. "Runningman" and "Two Days and One Night" are actually the same question, and there is already an answer. ”

Jin Zhongming nodded repeatedly.

"The other problem is actually that Taehyun is a little worried. Kim Jong Kook also smiled and shook his head. He felt that "Runningman" had gotten rid of the most difficult initial stage before, and was about to enter a period of rapid growth, and if he went at this time, if it was not good, it would squander everyone's previous joint efforts...... However, the reason why he was so worried about Joong Ki getting off the car was because of the same reason. ”

"I see. Jin Zhongming suddenly realized. "In this case, it would be more relaxed to go to "Two Days and One Night"?"

"That's right. Cha Tae-hyun couldn't help but exhale. "The new show, the good and the bad are all borne by everyone, so that it is even more unburdened...... I am willing to accept "Two Days and One Night", this does not have to be considered!

"I've said before that there's no rush. Jin Zhongming hurriedly introduced the situation of the second season. After Luo Yingshi PD decided to leave with his own team, KBS executives basically wandered between the two choices of abolishing or restarting, and then thought of the success of the first season and the brand effect that had been formed, so they decided to officially restart, and this decision has taken two months of hard work. But if you want to restart, you see...... Brother Hudong, MC Meng, and Brother Jin C, these three are unlikely to come back, and Zhiyuan ...... To be honest, whether he wants to hide from the limelight next year has to be said, plus Brother Xiugen's contract has also expired, and Lee Seung-gi has long proposed to get off at the end of this season, which means that the second season will really be completely restarted from head to toe, who will be the chief PD? If you guess correctly, it should take four or five months, and you will take the opportunity to officially start again around New Year's Day. ”

"That's more appropriate!" Cha Taehyun instinctively glanced at his wife who was chatting with Krystal not far away. "My wife is now 6 months old, and the second child will probably be able to look up and recognize his mother on New Year's Day......"

"Definitely. Kim Jong Kook also felt that this was very appropriate. "And again, in the career, no pressure is a great thing...... Now the ratings of "Two Days and One Night" are like this, and the second season has changed from beginning to end, no matter what the result is, it is acceptable. ”

"Hey......" Cha Tae-hyun quickly shook his head. "I definitely hope to do well, preferably better than you guys "Runningman"...... Wait a minute, Zhong Ming?"

"You say. ”

"The two shows are direct competitors, right?" Cha Taehyun reacted suddenly. "What do you want to do, invest in both shows?"

"Isn't it okay?" Kim Jong-ming took a sip of the coffee cup that Mrs. Cha Tae-hyun had refilled, and then leaned back on the sofa behind him as usual.

"It's not that no...... Aren't you afraid of wasting resources?" Cha Tae-hyun didn't understand Kim Jong-myeong's train of thought at all.

"I'll be honest with you, Brother Taehyun. Jin Zhongming lowered his head and shook the coffee cup in his hand. "I not only invested in "Two Days and One Night Season 2" and "Runningman", but also obtained the external operation rights of MBC's "I Am a Singer", and also invested in SBS's new variety show "Law of the Jungle" to replace "Heroes and Heroes" on Sunday...... As for the other two Sunday variety shows of MBC and KBS, due to poor ratings, there seems to be no investment potential, but I have already negotiated with the two TV stations for the production and operation rights of the new variety shows......"

"Plus TVN's Sunday variety show...... You want a monopoly!" Cha Tae-hyun suddenly realized.

Kim Jong Ming nodded: "That's right, no matter what industry, monopoly is actually a business that will never lose money, "Runningman" is not good, "Two Days and One Night" is not good, then "I am a singer" is impossible, plus TVN's limited TV network, Koreans always have to watch my show on Sundays......"

"Have you gotten to this point?" Cha Tae-hyun couldn't help but scratch her hair.

"When the business grows, it is natural to rest with the country. The corners of Jin Zhongming's mouth couldn't help but reveal a hint of mockery. "South Korea is so small, no matter what business you do, as long as you do it on the road, it will either be eaten by others and become a part of the monopoly, or you will become big and start a monopoly, and then eat up small companies, isn't it the same thing? Why should we conduct research and development if we can make acquisitions? Why should we innovate if we can take shares? In South Korea, capital is the primary productive force. ”

Cha Tae-hyun and Kim Jong Kook were speechless.

"In the next step, sooner or later, we will monopolize the upstream and downstream of the Korean variety show industry. Kim Jong-ming continued to talk. "Advertising Agency, Peripheral Distribution, Artist Management, Online Video, SNS...... Of course, from the perspective of the industrial model, there is still a loophole in the relevant new industries, after all, this society is constantly developing...... There are new industrial models emerging every day, which depends to a certain extent on how fast your hands are, but in South Korea, it is mainly about who has the money......" At this point, Kim Jong-ming shook his head. "Forget it, I'm here as a guest today, so there's no need to talk about this kind of boring topic, the so-called sailing against the current will not advance or retreat, and it will be a matter of time before I do this, and you don't need to be surprised. ”

"That'll do. Cha Tae-hyun let go of the shock and emotion in his heart. "Since I'm going to eat at your place, I'll treat you to a meal first...... Wife, get ready!"

"Tell me something. Just when everyone was about to relax, Kim Jong Kook suddenly spoke. "Zhong Ming, from the perspective of your own industry, you can naturally sit back and relax when investing in all aspects, but ...... Those of us always have to look at things from the perspective of our own programs, after all, this is our business. Now that "Runningman" is about to enter a period of rapid rise, Joong Ki is suddenly leaving...... You don't have any ideas?"

"Yes. Jin Zhongming nodded without hesitation. "Actually, I'm going to talk to Brother Shi first to see his attitude. But Brother Zhong Guo, since you asked first, I'll just say it...... What do you think of me?"

"Ha......" Kim Jong Kook laughed dryly at a loss. "Of course you have always been very righteous, so rich, you can ...... with us so casually"

"I mean...... How about I go and replace Joong Ki?" Kim Jong Myung immediately corrected Kim Jong Kook's misunderstanding. "Go to Runningman!"

The whole room looked at Jin Zhongming in surprise, as did Krystal and Mrs. Che, and even Baker, who was lying there posing, turned his head in this direction...... Of course, he was hugged by Xiuchan again.

"Not kidding?" was stunned for a while, and then Kim Jong Kook swallowed his saliva. "Why?!"

Jin Zhongming rolled his eyes, then lowered his head and drank the coffee in his hand.
