After Li Zhixian pushed open the door, he saw four people sitting side by side in the interviewer seat in the room, of different ages, but he didn't find the familiar big PD face.

Also, the PD of the ace show is extremely busy, and it is rare to have time to take care of daily life, how can he have time to personally select new people.

Whether it is in the news or in TV interviews, you can often see the departure of Luo Yingshi PD or Kim Tae-ho PD, and they are rough and rough men most of the time.

Li Zhixian was also fortunate to see Luo Yingshi's PD, that time he was taken to KBS by Zhihao, and saw Luo Yingshi's PD sitting in the café of the TV station with a man who looked like a senior TV station from a distance, chatting casually.

At that time, when I saw Luo Yingshi's PD's style, it was no different from the street uncle, and I couldn't imagine that he would be the hottest entertainment producer in South Korea at the moment.

A little disappointed, but he didn't show it, Li Zhixian folded and bowed ninety degrees, and said in a deep voice after saluting: "Hello examiners!" I'm the No. 2 test taker, Lee Chi Hsien! ”

"Oh? Here comes a very fashionable test taker! Sitting in the middle was an older middle-aged man, who was originally reading his resume, but after hearing Li Zhixian's introduction, he raised his head and spoke, with a bright smile in his tone.

And a younger interviewer next to him shook his head helplessly after hearing this, obviously knowing his character, and saying such a dialogue was obviously happy to see the hunt.

The first interviewer was eliminated in a very short interview time because he was too formal, and even a little timid.

Today's entertainment industry is completely creative king, whether it is MBC's absolute ace program "Infinite Challenge", or "We Are Married", which has become popular with countless stars, and even "RunningMan", which exploded in 2011 by the headquarters of S of the neighboring station, all of them are subverted to traditional programs to succeed.

However, in addition to unlimited challenges in the past 12 years, MBC has not had a second program that can carry the banner of variety shows, and most of them are copies of the previous comprehensive forms, so they are also at a disadvantage in the ratings confrontation with other TV stations.

For them, the interviewee's eclectic creativity is the key to compelling.

And the middle-aged man who opened his mouth is the deputy director of MBC's current Arts and Energy Bureau - Jang Yun-seok.

Today, there were only three PDs for interviews, and it was impossible for high-level figures like the deputy director to participate in the interview activities for the selection of new recruits.

It happened that Zhang Yunshi's disciple was one of the three interviewers today, and the two made an appointment to have dinner together after the work was completed, and Zhang Yunshi learned that there was such an interview, and there was no work at hand, so he became interested and forcibly joined the ranks of the interviewers.

How could PD win the director's battle, the first interviewer was completely eliminated under his veto.

Zhang Yunshi's attitude is very simple, even if there is a shortage of major generals, he cannot accept mediocrity, and his work motto is: even if you are at the bottom of society, you must be able to show that you will not be lost in the value of ordinary people.

He himself has continued to rely on creativity and hard work beyond ordinary people's imagination to step by step from the field record to the position of deputy director, and even the disciples he discovered back then have now become the deputy PD of MBC's absolute ace variety show "Infinite Challenge".

As a result, he is very receptive to the new and bold ideas of young people, and is also very keen to discover creative and eclectic newcomers.

Li Zhixian didn't know the so-called fashionable dress, but instead sniped at Jang Yun-seok's orientation on the ground, thinking that Lee Zhixian was a new generation of young people who would not stick to the old rules.

I have to sigh that sometimes what life lacks is such a coincidence.

At this time, the young interviewer next to Zhang Yunshi spoke: "Let's introduce myself first!" ”

Li Zhixian bowed again when he heard this, and then fluently began to recite the self-introduction prepared in advance: "Hello examiners! My name is Lee Ji-hyun, born in '89, 25 years old this year, from Seoul, currently studying in the composition department of Yonsei University, I often ......"

Li Zhixian's self-introduction had not yet entered the topic, and he was suddenly interrupted by Zhang Yunshi raising his hand: "Oh? Are you a student at Yonsei University? ”

Not understanding why he was suddenly interrupted, Li Zhixian turned his eyes to Zhang Yunshi, and then thought that every interviewer can decide his own life and death, and immediately replied honestly: "Inside, I will be able to graduate in July this year!" ”

Zhang Yunshi casually put down Li Zhixian's resume in his hand, looked directly at Li Zhixian and said, "Okay, needless to say, introduce yourself." Let's talk about it, what do you think of the current variety shows. ”

At this time, Li Zhixian was really surprised, not only interrupting his speech, but also asking such an abrupt question.

Turning his eyes to the interviewers next to him, he saw that they were all sitting upright, not squinting, and there was no unhappiness on their faces at all. After thinking about it, I suddenly understood that the person who asked me a question should be the person in charge today, and this question may be the first school for myself.

After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, Li Zhixian slowly raised his head and said in a firm and deep tone: "I think that now variety shows are gradually replacing Korean dramas and becoming the dominant part of the Korean Wave." ”

"Oh? So surely? It seems to be targeted! Zhang Yunshi raised his eyebrows in surprise at first, as if he had discovered something new, and looked at Li Zhixian with interest and said: "Tell me your opinion!" ”

Without a pause, he had already organized the language in his mind just now, and Li Zhixian immediately opened his mouth and said: "I believe that as an entertainment boss, you must be aware of the recent trend of declining ratings, not only in variety shows, but also in the TV drama department." ”

Li Zhixian looked at several interviewers, and only Zhang Yunshi gave a reaction, raising his hand to signal him to continue.

Calm down again and said: "Let's not talk about TV series for the time being, just talk about variety shows, now the ratings of 15% can be called a trump card variety show, which is completely inferior to the ratings of the previous ace programs in their twenties, thirties, and even forties." Even the average ratings of MBC's ace variety show Infinite Challenge only fluctuate around 15%, and even more when it fluctuates downward. ”

Li Zhixian swallowed his saliva and stabilized his breath that was a little disordered because of nervousness: "I think there are two reasons, the first is the lack of creativity. The cookie-cutter variety show content has long made the audience feel aesthetic fatigue, and even if it is an infinite challenge, it is impossible to maintain outstanding creativity all the time, and there are often fast food specials that are hurriedly produced in order to fill the portion. I've always been a loyal fan of Infinite Challenge, and I also respect the creative team of Infinite Challenge, but judging from the current performance of the show, it's really substandard. ”

Li Zhixian said to himself, and shook his head after finishing speaking, as if he was very dissatisfied with the performance of the infinite challenge. I didn't notice that one of the interviewers had an embarrassed face, Zhang Yunshi also turned his head and glanced at him with a smile, stretched his chin at him, meaning that people talked about you, and then pursed the corners of his mouth and asked Li Zhixian with a smile: "You said that there are two points, so what is the reason for the second point?" ”

Li Zhixian replied without hesitation: "The second reason is more direct and simpler, and that is the arrival of the digital age. Nowadays, more and more people choose to use mobile phones or computers to watch programs, which is not only more affordable than TV, but also more convenient. This has directly led to a decline in the ratings data with TV media as the main statistical method of ratings, and the decline in ratings has become inevitable, and compared with the S headquarters and K headquarters, MBC has declined particularly significantly. ”

After Li Zhixian finished analyzing it, he recalled that this was not the school's debate club, but the MBC interview room, so he tried to grasp the atmosphere of the scene by observing the interviewer's expression.

However, what he saw was a picture that made his heart sink completely to the bottom of the well - even Zhang Yunshi, who was originally smiling, became expressionless like a stone Buddha, and then he gradually felt uneasy.

What I said was cool, but I arranged MBC on other people's turf, and it was a trump card program that was dissatisfied with others, and it was a sarcasm that the ratings were not good, isn't this just a flashlight in a thatched house - looking for.

Sighing secretly in his heart, Li Zhixian thought that this interview that was originally full of confidence should be ruined, and he was annoyed that when would his personality of talking but not his head be changed, and his tense body collapsed.

Before Li Zhixian could finish his secret sadness, a passage from the interviewer's seat that was no less than a natural voice for Li Zhixian: "Yes, your analysis is reasonable, but what does this have to do with what you said about variety shows guiding the Korean Wave?" ”

Li Zhixian was stunned, as if he didn't expect that he would be able to continue to tolerate him and continue to interview after he was so nervous? Could it be that this nerve is bigger than his?

Realizing that there might be drama in the interview, Li Zhixian slowly spit out such a sentence: "I want to know what happens next, and listen to my next breakdown." ”
