Chapter Eighty-Three: An Unexpected Invitation
"Director Kim, Director Kim?"
"Huh? What's up? ”
Kim Ho-woo came back to his senses at the call of his assistant Lee Jae-hoon.
Lee Jae-hoon looked at Kim Hao-woo with some doubts, in recent days, he often found that Kim Hao-woo would be distracted unconsciously, sometimes in meetings, sometimes when listening to other people's work reports, which made him feel very strange, Kim Hao-woo was not like this before, he was serious and focused at work.
However, as an assistant, he clearly understands his position, and he will never ask about some things that he shouldn't take care of.
"Kim PD has arrived, and he's waiting in the reception room."
"Kim PD? Which TV station's PD? Why do you want to see me? Jin Haoyu asked with some confusion, even if a PD comes to the company to discuss an invitation to cooperate, it should be received by an agent, what are you looking for.
"It's Kim Tae-ho PD of MBC, and I contacted the company a few days ago, but you were in Japan at that time, and I heard that you came directly today after you came back." Lee Jae-hoon explained.
"Kim Tae-ho? Kim Tae-ho PD with infinite challenges? Kim Haoyu asked in surprise.
"Yes." Lee Jae-hoon nodded in confirmation.
"Okay, you go and entertain first, and I'll be over right away."
After Lee Jae-hoon said he understood, he turned and left the office.
Jin Haoyu patted his face helplessly, shook his head and stood up.
Ever since he accidentally saw the things on the scrap of paper that day, he has become often restless, and if he doesn't pay attention, he will wander and think about those messy things, which has made his whole person feel a little depressed recently.
He put aside the troubled thoughts in his heart for a while, cheered up and returned to work.
"I wonder what happened to Kim Tae-ho PD coming to me today?"
After greeting the other party, Jin Haoyu looked at the legend in front of him, who can be said to be a legend in the variety show PD industry.
If there is one entertainment program PD that is most well-known to the audience, it is undoubtedly Na Young-seok of KBS's "Two Days and One Night" and Kim Tae-ho of MBC's "Infinite Challenge".
The former has contributed to the ratings of "Two Days and One Night" exceeding 40% many times, setting a record for variety shows in the past, and ranking first in the ratings of Sunday variety shows all year round, which is unshakable.
If Sunday is the world of KBS's "Two Days and One Night", then the overlord of Saturday is MBC's "Infinite Challenge".
The ratings of this program have been poor since it was launched in 2005, and it has been declining all the way, and it was even almost stopped, until Kim Tae-ho was promoted from FD to PD, and began drastic reforms, which finally formed "Infinite Challenge", which has a far-reaching influence on the people of the country and can be said to be a national variety show.
And it was the man in front of him, who was thin and weak, wore a pair of glasses, and could be said to be ugly-looking, but possessed infinite talent and charm, who dominated this qiē.
"I'm here today to talk about inviting guests to the show." Kim Tae-ho said in his characteristic high-pitched voice.
"That's a good thing, I wonder which of our members Infinite Challenge has taken a fancy to? This kind of thing is just for the busy PD to come, why let you run it yourself. Jin Haoyu said with a happy smile.
The infinite challenge of super high ratings and social influence status has made countless artists want to break their heads to participate, but unfortunately there is no way, and now the other party has come to the door to make Kim Haoyu very happy.
"Not a member, in fact we want to invite you, Kim Ho-woo Xi." Kim Tae-ho shook his head and said.
"Me? What are you looking for me for? I'm not an artist. ”
Kim Ho-woo pointed at himself in surprise and looked at Kim Tae-ho in disbelief.
"Kim Ho-woo knows that we have a large-scale project for a song festival every other year." Kim Tae-ho asked tentatively.
"Well, I know, the 07 Jiangbian North Road Song Festival, the 09 Olympic Song Festival, what's the matter, this year's Song Festival is about to start?"
"Yes, we have made some changes this year, unlike last year, this time all the guests are invited by the program team, and then they will perform in a group with the MCs, and this time there is no audience like before, we plan to make it a public large-scale open-air performance, and now we want to invite Jin Haoyu xi you to join us as a music producer."
Kim Tae-ho logically and clearly stated the plan of the show.
"But I'm not a well-known person, so why should I be invited?"
Kim Ho-woo still didn't understand the other party's thoughts.
"We wanted to create a variety of effects, so this time we didn't invite famous artists, but musicians of all different identities, including indie bands, composers, and idols."
"Well, who has agreed to participate now?"
"BigBang's GD, PSY, Lee Di, Jung Jae-type, and the harmony group Sweet.Sorrow."
This is really a bit miscellaneous, Jin Haoyu thought to himself, GD is now quite popular among idols, PSY has been famous for many years, known for its hot stage atmosphere, Li Di is also a very famous lyric singer and musician, Zheng Jae-type is a composer who is mainly engaged in film music production, as for Sweet.Sorrow is a four-member boy group characterized by beautiful harmony, Jin Haoyu has only heard of it before and is not familiar with it.
"But I think it's still a little inappropriate to choose me, I've never been on an entertainment show, what if there is no show effect when the time comes."
Although Jin Haoyu understood the reason why the other party chose him, he still didn't feel the slightest emotion, after all, he didn't really want to show his head, but it was enough to be a behind-the-scenes musician silently.
Seeing this, Kim Tae-ho then persuaded and said: "Didn't Kim Ho-woo Xi pronounce the sound source before, and he also performed on stage, I watched it before, and the invitation to you was the result of the discussion of our program team." Although the public is not impressed with Kim Haoyu xi, as far as I know, Kim Haoyu xi is a hot figure in the circle, and we invite you to hope that there will be hit songs like those you created before on the stage of this song festival. As for the effect of the show, don't worry about Kim Haoyuxi, our MC will guide the shooting, don't you believe in the ability of our MC?"
"Not really." Jin Haoyu said with a smile, as the MC of the ace variety show, they are all funny artists with many years of experience, and Jin Haoyu still likes them very much as an audience.
"Although I like infinite challenges very much, I never thought that I would go to the show, otherwise, since the program team likes my composition ability, then my artists will go to the show, and I will be responsible for making the music, there are no women in the current list." Jin Haoyu tried to persuade in a roundabout way.
After all, an infinite challenge is a rare opportunity, although I don't care, but it is a rare opportunity for girls' generation.
Hearing Kim Ho-woo's mention, Kim Tae-ho frowned, to be honest he didn't care about that, there was already GD in the idol was representative enough, and what he hoped was that people from different music fields would collaborate in the show to create zào diverse music.
Jin Haoyu saw that the other party was silent, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and apprehensive, if the other party rejected his proposal, it would be a pity.
Kim Tae-ho thought for a while and said: "I think Kim Ho-woo xi has already understood what I mean, so our main purpose is to invite you to the show, as for your artists to appear in the show, it's not impossible, but the premise is that Kim Ho-woo xi You have to appear in the show in person, and others can appear as featuring or other ways of the song, this still needs to be decided by us in a specific meeting, so if Kim Haoyu xi refuses to appear in front of the camera, Then I can only express my regrets. ”
Kim Tae-ho is Kim Tae-ho after all, as the general PD of the infinite challenge, he also has his own self-esteem, all of them are aimed at the effect of the show, and it is not that anyone has to do it, even if Kim Ho-woo refuses him, he just expresses regret.
Jin Haoyu saw that the other party had already said this, and clearly stated his bottom line, and he also lowered his head and began to think about it seriously.
To be honest, even if he was on the last show, he didn't really care, after all, he had already made an exception to go on the stage in person for Kim Taeyeon, and it was not impossible to participate in another entertainment show this time, but it was not for himself, but to help the development of Girls' Generation.
Kim Tae-ho didn't urge him, just sat there quietly and waited, after all, the other party is also a director of a major company, not an artist, and there are many things to consider.
After a long time, Jin Haoyu weighed it in his heart for a long time, and even made a preliminary plan in his mind, considering that if he really succeeded according to his vision, then it would be okay to agree to the other party.
So he raised his head and said to Kim Tae-ho: "Okay, I promised to appear in this show, but we still need to discuss the matter I mentioned earlier." ”
Kim Tae-ho smiled when he heard this, and said in his voice that was more slender and sharp than that of ordinary men, "Then, I hope we have a good cooperation." ”
