Chapter 13: Green Pepper [Subscription Requested]
The thing we are talking about now is called 'bringing capital into the group', which sounds a little embarrassing, but it is common in the industry, and there is no embarrassment when everyone discusses it.
When it comes to 'bringing capital into the group', we have to start with the Korean entertainment industry. South Korea's variety show industry is highly polarized, with a standard pyramid structure. The new programs prepared by the low-level producers, let alone 'bringing money into the group', no one may be willing to come if they give money, at least the popular artists on the front line will not be willing to come. This has nothing to do with whether there is time to act, artists should consider the impact on themselves when they appear in the show, and the show is not worthy of the artist's popularity, not only will it not play a positive role, but it will lower the value of the artist.
But it's not that such a show can't be done, in the Korean variety show circle, it is absolutely impossible for a producer who can start a show to be a newcomer. The network resources involved in a program are not something that newcomers can afford, so even if they are the producers of pilot programs, they have at least ten years of qualifications and have a certain degree of resources and contacts in their hands.
Even so, they still can't invite first-line popular artists, but there are solutions. There is a profession called Gagman in the variety show circle, and Liu Jae-seok is a member of Gagman, of course, this kind of show can't invite Liu Jae-seok, but 'green leaf' artists like Shin Bong-sun, Jung Jooli, and Kim Yong-chul can still make up a lot of people. At this time, it is necessary to fight for creativity, if the effect is good, there will be better MCs and better guests. It's a naturally occurring rule, and no one is exempt.
But if it is mixed to the level of Luo Yingshi and Kim Tae-ho, it is not the show looking for artists, but the show picking artists. Compared with these two, Luo Yingshi can be said to be not good enough in this regard. The real master is Kim Tae-ho, every special project of "Infinite Challenge", as long as the wind is released. There will be people swarming up. The biennial song festival can stage the myth of 'making stars overnight'. As long as the people participating are not too poor, the popularity of the 'Song Festival' is as fast as a rocket.
For such a good opportunity, who to choose? What criteria?
In addition to a few relationship slots, the remaining slots. All of them are 'bringing capital into the group', or it is okay to say so, these places are auctioned out.
This copper-smelling way seems unfair, but from the producer's standpoint, there is also a bitterness. South Korean variety show producers seem to be superficial, but compared to their counterparts who make movies or even TV series, they are completely poor. The production fee for a show is limited. There are too many places to spend money on the program, and the advertising TV station that bids for public bidding has to divide most of it, and if you don't get some money through this channel, the entire program group will have no oil and water at all. The producer is the big housekeeper of a program group, and everyone looks at him. Of course, if you don't have money, you will lose talent, and if you don't have talent, you won't be able to do a good job. If the show doesn't do well, there is no money, so as long as you are the producer of variety shows. There is no one who does not drill into the eyes of money.
Although Luo Yingshi is a 'bad' person, his thick black science is obviously not enough to reach home. After nearly 20 years in the circle, he didn't know any company artists? He was embarrassed to 'kill the ripe', so he handed over this task to Ah Jiu, the purpose was to deduct more money. But he didn't expect that Ah Jiu completely lived up to his expectations. casually agreed to go out.
However, Yu Zeyan is still an acquaintance and gave a more reasonable price. Ah Jiu called Luo Yingshi on the spot, although Luo Yingshi was a little unwilling, but finally agreed, and in this way, the second actor of "Three Hours and Three Meals" was finalized.
……
It's over. Yu Zeyan left satisfied. Ah Jiu was much better at talking than he imagined, and the conditions he gave did not meet his bottom line, and everyone was happy on the whole.
Coming out of the restaurant, Ah Jiu walked directly to the supermarket opposite, he chose this place to meet because it was close to the supermarket and convenient to buy food.
Most men subconsciously think that buying groceries and cooking is a woman's business, and they are very 'dismissive' when it comes to it. But Ah Jiu didn't have such an idea, he enjoyed it. When I used to live in Beicun, I didn't have much money, and I just had to deal with it casually. Now that the conditions are improving, the first thing that comes to his mind to improve is eating. If conditions permit, he is really the kind of person who can do 'three meals at three times', and how happy he must be to live a life of only thinking about what to eat for the next meal every day.
Crossing the road and coming to the door of the supermarket, Ah Jiu suddenly stopped, and a figure was reflected in the glass door of the supermarket, followed by a person.
Ah Jiu looked back at Sunny, "Why don't you go back and follow me?"
"Do you think I'm happy to follow you?" Sunny rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Where's Taeyeon?
"I see. Ah Jiu smiled and said: "She's at my house, ah, no, it's at IU's house, I guess I'm watching TV at this time, don't you just make a phone call?"
Sunny snorted and said, "My phone is dead." ”
"I'll lend you. Ah Jiu took out his phone and handed it over, Sunny didn't answer, glanced at him, and said angrily: "You really don't have any eyes at all?
Ah Jiu frowned slightly: "What did you say?"
Sunny said expressionlessly, "I'm hungry and want to eat, okay?"
Ah Jiu laughed: "If you want to rub rice, you just say that you want to rub rice, if you don't say you want to rub rice, how do I know that you want to rub rice, I thought you had some intention to follow me." ”
"What can you do?"
"Attempt?" Ah Jiu pushed open the door of the supermarket: "Let's say robbery......"
"Hahaha...... I'm robbing you, and anyone won't believe me, how can I rob you?"
"Not necessarily, in case you have a gun......"
Ah Jiu said casually, Sunny listened speechlessly, and suddenly she felt a little strange, is this man the same person as the angry man she just saw?
However, she was obviously not a person who would think about such a thing, and this thought was only for a moment, and soon turned to eating.
Sunny watched Ah Jiu pick vegetables, bit his lip, and asked, "What do you eat at night?"
Ah Jiu was not so sure: "Today's green peppers are good, buy a few and go back to scrambled eggs?"
"Huh?" Sunny screamed in disappointment when he heard the word 'green pepper', his eyebrows furrowed and knotted: "Don't want green peppers, I hate eating green peppers the most!" (To be continued......
