"Knock~Knock~Knock"

"Please come in"

Kim Tae-hyun looked up and saw that it was Liu Zaishi, so he quickly stood up and said, "Brother Zaishi, it's hard to see you in Brother Zaishi recently!" In Brother Shi, it is now a complete trend! ”

Yoo Jae-seok was a little embarrassed by Kim Tae-hyun's praise, so he had to smile, "Tae-hyun, what am I, I have to thank President Kim and SBS for giving me this opportunity." ”

Kim Tae-hyun smiled, "Brother Shi, do you and I still need to talk about these scenes?" And I think the company's artists are too afraid of the uncle, but in Brother Shi, you are the veteran of our company, don't you know what kind of person the uncle is? ”

Liu Zaishi nodded, "Inside, I also know that President Kim is the kind of person who is strict on the outside and lenient on the inside, but every time I meet with President Kim, I always feel frightened, and I find that President Kim has rarely smiled in the past two years." ”

Kim Tae-hyun felt helpless about the uncle's management style, which is not to say that the uncle is harsh on his artists, on the contrary, the uncle doesn't know how much better the company's artist contracts are compared to other brokerage companies.

The reason why people in the company are afraid of the uncle is because the uncle's more and more irritable personality in the past two years, many of the company's employees and artists have been scolded and cried by the uncle, and even many male artists have been beaten by the uncle.

Kim Tae-hyun doesn't know whether the uncle's management style is right or wrong, but it is undeniable that the company has developed more than one or two levels in the past two years under the leadership of the uncle, in 2002, G2K achieved great success in movies with "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "If Love Has Providence", and in 2003, G2K began to enter the TV series, and since the beginning of 2003, Daejangjin, starring G2K's signed artist Lee Young-ae, has been the ratings champion in the same time period since its inception. In the end, he became the 2003 annual ratings champion.

Just when the outside world thought that G2K had no intention of making a movie in 2003, who knew that at the end of the year, G2K had been preparing for the official release of "Sebi Island" for nearly a year, and "Sebi Island" became the first Korean film to be watched by more than 10 million people after 58 days of release.

Of course, all of the above have the shadow of Kim Tae-hyun, but the final decision and actual implementation are decided by the uncle, maybe the uncle was afraid that he would hand over Kim Tae-hyun to his company at the beginning and wanted to work hard to do a good job, but in the end, both Kim Tae-hyun and the uncle himself found that maybe this was the most suitable position for him.

Today's G2K is not like the company at the beginning of the company's founding, when it comes to G2K, the first person who comes to mind when it comes to G2K is Kim Tae-hyun, and now the first person who comes to mind when it comes to G2K is definitely President Kim Sang-wook.

Kim Tae-hyun doesn't care about these, he really doesn't care, Kim Tae-hyun has no interest in doing business at all, and the establishment of G2K was also a whim at that time, Kim Tae-hyun just finished the shooting of a new movie not long ago, and this movie is also made by G2K, but in addition to Kim Tae-hyun as the male lead, this movie is not a G2K person from top to bottom, the name of this movie is "My Little Bride", and the heroine is played by Moon Geun-young, who debuted in 1999, although the film has not yet been released, But the audience has great expectations for this point.

Compared with the development of G2K in the film and television industry in the past few years, the original song industry at the beginning of G2K's establishment did not set off any waves, and the song industry in the past two years is the world of JYP.

However, this situation was broken by a woman in August 2003, and DSP launched a solo solo of Lee Hyo-ri, the captain of the disbanded girl group FINK.k.L, and Lee Hyo-ri defeated Boa, Rain and Kim So-eun at the end of the year with the last four months of 2003 to become the first person in the music industry in 2003, and when he came to 2004, Lee Hyo-ri's popularity did not cool down at all, and there was a trend of becoming popular in Asia.

Although Kim Tae-hyun thought about this, he did not snub Liu Zai-seok, "Brother Zaishi, you haven't said what you came to me today?" ”

Yoo Jae-seok smiled, "This time, I am sending an invitation to you on behalf of SBS to invite you to participate in the next issue of "X-man". ”

In November 2003, Yoo Jae-seok hosted "Real Saturday - X-man", which broke the original variety show ratings as soon as it was broadcast, and after more than three months of broadcasting, this variety show often surpassed the ratings of TV dramas in the same time period and became the ratings champion.

"X-man" can be said to be an epoch-making variety show in the history of Korean television, and the three MCs who support the show, Yoo Jae-seok, Kang Ho-dong, and Kim Ji-dong, have skyrocketed rapidly in popularity, which is also the three mountains of the Korean MC industry that later generations will say, and the guests who participate in each episode of the show have also become a hot topic at the moment.

Kim Tae-hyun liked this variety show very much in his previous life, of course, his favorite is the CP combination of Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye in the show, and now Kim Jong Kook is still serving in the military, if Kim Tae-hyun wants Kim Jong Kook to return to the glory of the 'Triple Crown' period in his previous life, this show must be on it.

However, it is not a simple matter for Kim Tae-hyun to let Kim Jong-kook appear on this show, now every place in this show is very precious, if it is an ordinary guest, Kim Tae-hyun can ask SBS casually, but if it is the kind of regular guest, it is not so easy to get, this time Yoo Jae-seok's invitation to Kim Tae-hyun on behalf of SBS is an opportunity.

Kim Tae-hyun has already agreed in his heart, and there is no need to hide anything in front of Liu Zaishi, "Brother Shi, I agreed." ”

Liu Zaishi asked in surprise, "Taixian, you agreed?" I'm still thinking about how to convince you? I didn't expect you to say yes like this, but it's good to agree. ”

Kim Tae-hyun smiled, "Brother, when will you record, just tell Brother Zailong in advance, I just finished filming the movie now, and if I have something to do, it is also to promote the movie, I can cheer for you when I go to the show, and I can also promote the movie by the way." ”

Liu Zaishi breathed a sigh of relief, "Taehyun, I came to invite you today and I am also ready to be rejected, it's good that you can think so, the big trend actors don't like to be on variety shows, and now Tai Hyun, you are also a big trend actor." ”

Kim Tae-hyun waved his hand, "Brother, it's too exalting for you to say this, those popular actors don't like to go on variety shows in order to act and shoot commercials, in order to act, let's say separately, filming commercials and variety shows for these famous movie actors to choose must be choosing to shoot advertisements, shooting commercials and variety shows is a day, compared to the little remuneration from variety shows, it is not as much as one-tenth of shooting commercials." ”

Liu Zaishi nodded, "That's right, if I were me, I would also choose to shoot commercials, but no one came to ask me to shoot commercials." ”

Kim Tae-hyun looked at Yoo Jae-seok, "Brother, there will be opportunities in the future for such things as advertising, you are also the general trend now, and advertisers like to shoot advertisements with a popular trend like you." ”

Liu Zaishi waved his hand and smiled, "Alas, what kind of general trend am I, it is my honor for the show to be liked by the audience, I used to be jealous and suspicious of people who were more successful than me, and after returning from service for a few years, I slowly thought that I should slowly feel happy because of my work?" Or do you want to go to work happily? I later found out that when you go to work with a happy heart, it makes you happy and others happy. ”

"Smack. Syllable. Smack" Kim Tae-hyun couldn't help but applaud after hearing Liu Jae-seok's words, everyone's success is justified, and there is a reason why Yoo Jae-seok can still become the god of variety shows after Kim Ji-dong and Kang Hu-dong fall one after another in the future.

Yoo Jae-seok waved his hand, and then said to Kim Tae-hyun, "I'm not just talking about it, but I really feel happy from it and bring happiness to the audience." ”

In the end, Liu Zaishi sighed, "Okay, since Taixian, you agreed to the invitation, my task is complete, I still have something to do, I will leave first, I will let SBS practice Director Li." ”

Kim Tae-hyun nodded, "Okay, then Brother Shi, you go slowly, I won't send you." ”

After Yoo Jae-seok left, Kim Tae-hyun did not continue to work, but poured himself a cup of coffee, came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office to look at the traffic outside the window, and thought about what his happiness was.
