Chapter 100: A Place for the Throne [Part 1]
Year after year.
Every year on December 29th, it is a day of great celebration for the hard-working entertainers at MBC.
On this day, all the entertainers bid farewell to the witty images of the past. Dressed in the most colorful costumes, like all the artists, they strolled down the red carpet to the cheers of the fans.
Afterwards, they will sit in the studio hall, waiting to be rewarded for their hard work for a year.
Today, unlike in the past, Park Jung-hyuk did not walk with Kim Tae-ho, Ji Young-jae and others.
He is no longer the busy PD of "Infinite Challenge", but the responsible PD of "We Are Married".
So this year, the person who took the lead was replaced by him, followed by Xuan Huirun, Jin Youkun and Min Zheji.
It is worth mentioning that this year is the first time that the MBC Entertainment Awards have been moved to the Rishan Dream Center.
In previous years, the awards were held at the Yeouido headquarters.
But when it comes to modernity and functionality of the building, it's clear that the Dream Center is superior to the headquarters.
The behind-the-scenes personnel are still the same, there is no chance to walk the red carpet.
Park Jung-hyuk and the four came to the studio hall through the backstage and were immediately led to the position belonging to "We Are Married".
It has been a long-standing practice that the seat of the program group is behind the artist.
Seeing the arrival of Park Jung-hyuk and others, Junjin, Hwangbo-hye-jeong, Kim Hyun-joong and others who had already arrived all stood up to greet them.
Some of these people have already gotten off the bus, but because of their popularity in the past year, they have become candidates for awards, so they also came to the scene.
"PD, hurry up and help us predict how many awards we can get today?"
Junjin is an old friend, so he doesn't see it at all, and he starts to coax when he comes up.
When "We Are Married" was just launched, Park Jung-hyuk predicted the number of comments, and the result really stunned everyone.
Therefore, everyone regarded him as a magic stick and ran up to divination.
Although Park Jung-hyuk knows that today's acting awards, "We Are Married" will not go for nothing, but it is impossible to be too sassy.
This is his first show, and I don't know how many people are envious, jealous and hateful.
Maybe right now, there are many people staring at him, hoping to find faults.
When people are proud, it's better to be honest. Otherwise, you might fall on your heels.
"How do I know this? Winning the award is recognized by the audience, and if we don't get it, it means that we still need to work hard. ”
Hearing his words, several artists all stuck out their tongues.
"I've found that the PD is becoming more and more a leader now, and maybe, in a few years, you will be the director of the MBC Arts Bureau."
Seo In-young has a strong personality, and regardless of the occasion, he directly made fun of Park Jung-hyuk.
"Eh, what nonsense?"
Park Jung-hyuk frightened her with a gesture, turned around and saw Kim Tae-ho and others coming from a distance, and hurriedly greeted her.
"Brother, are you here to harvest the big prize again?"
Just now he complained that others were teasing him, but when he saw Kim Tae-ho and others, he was also virtuous.
Ji Yingcai was about to fight, "Okay, you stinky boy, do you think you will be lawless if you leave here?" ”
Kim Tae-ho is also not angry.
"It's not that you don't know what rumors are on the TV station, do you think the big award can still be given to us?"
Of course, Park Jung-hyuk heard the rumors, and at the same time, he also knew the rules, and it was impossible for the big award to be given to one person or a program group for two consecutive years anyway.
On the whole, the person who is most likely to win the big prize this year is actually Jiang Hudong.
Although Jiang Hudong only has a small program in MBC, it belongs to "Knee Taoist", one of the big units of "Golden Fishery".
But in order to shape the momentum of the two mountain ranges, MBC is also happy to give him a big prize.
It is not difficult to see from this that what status a person can achieve, in addition to his own efforts, luck is also a part of the factor.
If it weren't for the fact that the entire Korean entertainment industry was pursuing the establishment of an opposing pattern of two mountain ranges to avoid Yoo Jae-seok's dominance, this year's MBC Acting Awards would not have been Kang Hudong's turn anyway.
But he got it, and everyone took it for granted.
This is the trend of the times and the desire of the people.
Park Jung-hyuk, who saw the whole process, faintly had a sense of guiding public opinion and shaping the situation.
Don't look at the fact that many colleagues usually work in the same office, but because of the time difference, there are actually few opportunities to meet.
Therefore, every year's Performing Arts Awards is certainly a grand event for entertainers. It's also a good opportunity for producers to catch up with their colleagues.
After pulling with Kim Tae-ho and others, Park Jung-hyuk went to meet several seniors who had a good relationship.
Although he is now the responsible PD of MBC's most popular program, he knows that he joined the club late and has a shallow foundation.
If you don't want to be stumbled or stabbed in the back, you still have to pose when you should put a low posture.
Sure enough, seeing that Park Jung-hyuk was such a famous PD, they all took the initiative to say hello, and those seniors were all honored, and they really became very affectionate to him.
Among so many colleagues, only one person avoided Park Jung-hyuk, and even a little resentful.
That, of course, is Bi Jinhao.
The position of the responsible PD was snatched by Park Jung-hyuk, which caused Bi Jin-ho to become a laughing stock. And because of the advance report of D Agency, his people were thrown outside.
Bi Jinhao, who felt that his face was dull, felt that he couldn't stay at MBC anymore, so he took the initiative to apply for an external transfer.
I have been working at MBC Busan for half a year, and finally I was transferred back due to a shortage of manpower at the Arts and Performing Arts Bureau.
He is now the second PD in the "Vitamin" program group, but this program is tepid, and it doesn't provide him with much seniority.
At present, Bi Jinhao is secretly operating again, hoping to use his connections to go to a more promising program group to lay the foundation for future take-off.
For the time being, in the face of Park Jung-hyuk, he is a veritable loser.
Even if the mountains are edgeless and the heavens and the earth are combined, Park Jung-hyuk has no possibility of reconciling with Bi Jin-ho.
So seeing him avoiding himself, Park Jung-hyuk smiled contemptuously and returned to his program team.
At this year's Acting Awards, Lee Hyuk-jae was responsible for the opening.
I don't know how much benefit this guy has given to the top management of the TV station, and it is worth using him like this.
The only thing that made Park Jung-hyuk a little relieved was that he saw Lee Soon-jae's predecessor in the opening lineup.
The elderly man won a big prize with "Infinite Challenge" last year, so he was specially invited by MBC to star in the opening performance this year.
Similarly, in this opening ceremony, there are a large number of artists such as Jang Keun Suk who have become popular this year.
Lee Hyuk-jae is really able to toss, and after playing a sitcom, he also imitated Rain's song.
Overall, though, this year's start was a bit more interesting than last year's.
Park Jung-hyuk also slapped his face with a smile and watched it with relish.
Anyway, Lee Hyuk-jae is still an artist in his program group, and he still has to do the cheering on the surface.
He didn't know that when he was watching the show, some people were talking about him.
In a remote corner, a group of old men from MBC gathered here and pointed at him.
"That little guy is Park Jung-hyuk PD, right?"
"yes, it's really young."
"Young is young, and talent is also worthy of admiration."
"Isn't it, look at the shows he makes, the young people nowadays are really amazing. How come we don't have such a mind? ”
"That's why we're sitting on the cold bench, and no one cares!"
"Look, he can now sit next to 'Infinite Challenge' and 'Radiostar', the three mountains of the Arts Bureau."
"People have this qualification, look at the situation this year, except for "Infinite Challenge", who has the momentum of "We Are Married"?"
"This little guy will be absolutely amazing in the future, maybe even more powerful than Kim Tae-ho's PD."
"Hmph, not necessarily. Haven't you heard, this one, I don't like my boss very much. ”
"So what? The results are there. Even if the boss doesn't like it anymore, can he still get along with his political achievements? ”
"Hmph, look at those powerful PDs, which one is an honest person? If you don't make trouble, don't cry or rob, can you get so many resources? ”
The others nodded yes, agreeing with the man.
The current world, ostensibly proclaimed justice and fairness, is only because the methods of the robbers are more subtle and masterful.
Of course, Park Jung-hyuk couldn't hear the comments of these depressed seniors, he just sat there quietly, smiling very happily.
Park Jung-hoon didn't know what evil he had fallen into, and after running out and coming back, he was unprecedentedly honest.
Not only did he not go to the underworld, but he also began to pay attention to his family calmly.
Nothing is more important than his brother, and the family is happy, and Park Jung-hyuk is extremely content.
Not to mention that at this moment, through the mouth of deputy MC Liu Shiyun, among the best couple candidates voted by the audience, "We Are Married" occupies an absolute advantage.
Of the ten pairs of candidates, "We Are Married" accounted for seven seats.
Seeing this situation, fools know that the Best Couple Award must belong to "We Are Married".
Before the ceremony officially began, an award was received, indicating that tonight, the luck of "We Are Married" will definitely not be too bad.
Park Jung-hyuk found that every time he encountered a difficult situation, he would usher in greater gains.
This seems to have become a rule, and it seems to be the case now anyway.
Although he didn't dare to hope for a bigger award, because the form of "We Are Married" also decided that it was impossible to launch an attack on a higher award.
But if you get a large number of small awards, it is also a recognition of the program you are responsible for.
Anyway, tonight, he is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, not in a hurry, completely detached.
In his steady state of mind, the 2008 MBC Performing Arts Awards officially began.
Li Jingkui and Jiang Hudong, as the first pair of award guests, walked out of the backstage.
The first thing they want to present is the Best Male and Female Newcomer Award. (To be continued.) )
