Chapter 6 Sand or Treasure

As a Korean, Li Zhixian, of course, could not say the famous lines of Teacher Shan Tianfang from his mouth.

Faced with Zhang Yunshi's follow-up questions, after Li Zhixian calmly stated his opinion, he was told that the interview was over and he could go back and wait for the notice.

Although he didn't have a definite response, he still read a message through the expressions of Zhang Yunshi and the two interviewers next to him - if nothing else, he should have passed the interview.

But what Li Zhixian didn't know was that the interviewer next to him who interacted with Zhang Yunshi was actually Zhang Yunshi's disciple, and when he heard that Li Zhixian was asked about Yonsei University, he had the answer in his heart - as long as Li Zhixian was not too stupid, he would be almost sure of passing the interview.

Koreans attach great importance to the feelings of fellow villagers and alumni, and he himself was promoted to the Department of Arts and Culture by him because he is a fellow villager with Jang Yun-seok and a junior of alumni.

The screen rewinds back to the interview room at MBC.

In the face of Jang Yoon-seok's question, Lee Ji-hyun slowly said the second reason: "I think you must know that the general trend of S Headquarters's Sunday is really good, RunningMan, but it has only been on the air for a year, and although the ratings are only about 15%, the huge overseas effect caused by it has far exceeded that of the ordinary Korean Wave." Why? It's in today's digitally networked world. The novel theme of tearing famous brands, the brand effect of national MC, and the focus on interactive communication with overseas audiences have created the myth of the globalization of Korean variety shows. I don't know if you have seen RunningMan's overseas special last year, Lee Kwang-so, a small model who was originally unknown in South Korea, has aroused no less enthusiasm around the world than super-first-line artists such as Bae Yongjun or Won Bin. This is the power of digital networking, and I think it is the direction that Korean arts should develop in the future. ”

"So how do you think MBC's arts should move towards this momentum?" Zhang Yunshi asked one after another.

Lee Chi Hsien was in the middle of the debate, and he didn't notice that the question was beyond the scope of the interview, so he opened his mouth and said: "Now that online broadcasting is developing very rapidly, I think MBC should also seize this trend, strengthen interaction with online audiences, and promote the MBC brand through digital networks." I think it is also possible to take advantage of the trend to produce a program in the form of real-time webcast with the participation of star artists, so as to realize the combination of traditional TV and online platforms. ”

Suddenly, he clapped his hands again: "By the way, I have always had an idea about the Infinite Challenge, since the influence of the Infinite Challenge in China is unmatched, why can't the influence of the Infinite Challenge be extended to Asia and even the world with the power of the Internet to promote the Korean Wave and use the Korean Wave to lead the development of the Infinite Challenge?" ”

"You said you were from Yonsei University's composition department?"

"Huh?" The topic changed very suddenly, Li Zhixian didn't react, and nodded after a pause before nodding and answering: "Inside, this year's senior." ”

"Then why did you develop in the music industry, and you plan to devote yourself to the broadcasting industry?"

Li Zhixian was obviously unprepared for Zhang Yunshi's sudden question, but because of the unsatisfactory results of his works, he became a little twisted, rubbed his pants twice with both hands, and replied honestly: "In fact, I have been active in the music industry for almost two or three years, although I have published a few works, but the market has no response. In addition, as graduation approaches, various life pressures come one after another, and I hope to find a stable job to support my life. And the broadcasting industry and the song industry are so closely related, I thought maybe my skills still have a place to use. ”

Without any concealment at all, Li Zhixian directly confessed that he came to the broadcasting world to test the waters because he couldn't get along in the music and ballad world, and his personality of talking but his brain couldn't be changed for a while.

"Oh? You're still making your debut? Jang Yun-seok was surprised by the fact that Lee Ji-hyun still had a musical work released, and the interviewer next to him was also a little moved, he had never seen such an interviewer.

"What works have you published?"

"Last year, I composed songs for Girls' Generation, f(x), and BlockB, and I also wrote songs that were acquired by foreign companies, but I didn't have any recognition."

"The national girl group Girlhood has no recognition yet? Is it only famous to be included in the albums of Lee Seung-chul and Cho Yong-pil? I'm really ......" Rao is the director of the bureau Zhang Yunshi couldn't hold back the speechlessness in his heart, and complained about Li Zhixian's unkindness, among which the less famous f(x) and Blockb He naturally ignored it because he didn't know him. "But it looks like you're very talented at composing! In that case, why change careers? Zhang Yunshi was very puzzled, S.M.'s name in the entertainment industry is not just a signboard.

Li Zhixian's expression suddenly became bitter, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The song is included, but it is only used as the leftover material of the album, maybe their fans don't know that their favorite idol has sung such a song." I'm not like the brave brothers or the seniors of the second stage of the horizontal kick, I have popularity as a guarantee, I can only rely on myself to keep singing, how can I open the market. ”

Jang Yun-seok was silent for nearly two seconds, and suddenly said a aphorism-like line: "Talent is like a treasure in the sand, but there is a lack of people to discover it." Those who are capable will achieve something in any field. ”

Li Zhixian was instantly dumbfounded, what does this mean? Console? Or encouragement? It's the first time, and it's during the interview, why do you say such a thing that you don't understand?

Just as he was about to open his mouth to react, he heard Zhang Yunshi speak, and Li Zhixian could see that his expression was very clear: "Okay, your interview is over, go back and wait for the notice." ”

"Huh? Thank you very much for your interview. After Li Zhixian finished saluting, he was about to say goodbye, and when he got up, he happened to see Zhang Yunshi nodding to the interviewer next to him, and then drew a circle with a pen on a piece of paper.

Circled? That's passed, right? Although the process is inexplicable, Li Zhixian, as a resultist, is good if the interview results are qualified, but it is just ......

A brief recollection of the entire interview process left me with only a sense of confusion.

After Li Zhixian left, Zhang Yunshi talked to the interviewer next to him: "Daojun, what do you think of this child?" ”

Li Daojun laughed helplessly: "Teacher, don't you already have an answer?" Why bother asking this kind of 'answer-definite-you' question! ”

Ignoring Li Daojun's helpless tone, Zhang Yunshi sighed and said: "Although the analysis is common sense in the industry, he can be called a unique insight as an outsider." ”

Li Daojun nodded in agreement: "Indeed, even for the employees of the company's Arts and Culture Bureau, it is not easy to have this understanding, not to mention that he is still an outsider." It's just a teacher, don't you think the idea he came up with is very fresh? ”

"Hmm......" Zhang Yunshi pondered for a while, and immediately made a decision: "I don't know much about online broadcasting, I will find someone to do a survey when I go back, investigate the popularity of online live broadcasts and the audience's acceptance of celebrity live broadcasts, and make a plan." But don't rush this for a while, you should meet with Kim Tae-ho PD as soon as possible to discuss whether the Infinite Challenge is really feasible to promote overseas, and if it is really possible, it is not as simple as increasing the influence of the Infinite Challenge. ”

"As for Li Zhixian, his idea is good, and he has a certain understanding of the broadcasting industry, let's send it to you first, you can inspect it, let him start from the work of VJ or assistant, if his performance is good, he will be commissioned as an intern FD first."

"Inner, teacher, I see." Lee Do-jun recorded Jang Yoon-seok's instructions in his notebook.

"Alright, let's move on to the interview." Zhang Yunshi put one hand on his forehead and raised his hand to signal the interview to continue.

"Next interviewee!"
