The huge MBC is bustling with people during the day.

But when night falls and the tired birds return to their nests, the place is empty and ghost-like.

When thousands of rooms were as dark as thick ink, only the office of "Infinite Challenge" was still as light as a bean, reflecting a Xiao Suo figure.

It's none other than Kim Tae-ho, the PD responsible for "Infinite Challenge".

In the past, the self-proclaimed and fashionable PD adults don't care about the image problem at the moment.

He sat dumbly with his shoulders crossed, his stagnant eyes not knowing where to go.

Only the beard on the chin grows like a thick grass.

What can make MBC's most beautiful PD so decadent in recent times is naturally a problem on the show.

The series special has aired three episodes, and the reaction from the outside world has also returned.

In terms of ratings, it can only be regarded as medium, not too high, and not the lowest level.

But according to Kim Tae-ho's assumption, it did not meet his psychological expectations.

Compared with the ratings, what worries him the most is the cruel evaluation from the outside world.

Countless viewers have left messages on the official website, criticizing the series special, thinking that the "Infinite Challenge" program team is simply nonsense.

Even some media experts have spoken harshly in their columns, making profound criticisms of the unchallenged members and Lee Hyo-ri's acting skills.

One of the most vicious editorials among them opened fire on Kim Tae-ho.

"Lord PD, do you think you are Jiang Digui or Guo Jaerong?"

Both are well-known directors in South Korea, one of whom pioneered the war blockbuster "Flying the Flag of Taiji" and the other directed the classic romantic film "My Sassy Girlfriend".

The meaning of these words is obviously to ridicule Kim Tae-ho for not being able to do his best, thinking that he really thinks of himself as a director under the name of making a zuò person.

Although Kim Tae-ho has always been calm and does not have too much arrogance, the first time he was attacked like this, of course his heart was extremely hurt.

However, this pain can't be told to others, so I have to silently **** the wound in the dead of night.

This is the bitterness of the people, no one knows if they do it well, and they swallow the bitter fruit if they don't do it well.

On this empty night, Kim Tae-ho's mind is a mess, and it is always difficult to get out of the pain.

The sound of footsteps came from far and near, and then a sturdy body sat down next to it.

The tall figure even obscured half of the light.

Kim Tae-ho's face has an extra layer of shadow, and he speaks in a strange tone. "Are you here to mock me, too?"

The answer was unexpected. "yes, there aren't many opportunities like that."

Kim Tae-ho raised his head through gritted teeth and met Park Jung-hyuk's eyes with a sneering smile. "You bastard, you're going to fall into a hole. Didn't they just not heed your advice? Can't you save me some face? ”

Park Jung-hyuk shrugged his shoulders amusedly. "Why should I save face for you? At the beginning, I said that my saliva was dry, and I asked you not to do this special, but you just didn't listen. ”

In front of him, Kim Tae-ho didn't want to give in at all. "Hmph, what's the smugness? It's just a moment of my mishap, and I'll get it back one day. ”

"I know, you're Kim Tae-ho, the most amazing maker!" Park Jung-hyuk's tone was affirmative.

Hearing him say this, Kim Tae-ho was very surprised.

He still knows this brother very well.

If you want to talk about Park Jung-hyuk's character, then it can be described in one word, that is, underbeaten.

Poisonous tongues are frequent, and nothing will always hurt people.

In addition, if he grabs the sore feet of others, he will not let go and strike hard.

There are many people in the entire program group who have been tortured by him because of this, and many people are helpless against him, and they can't wait to beat him up to relieve their anger.

This time, he made a mistake and became a thousand years of hatred, and he got such a bad result, Kim Tae-ho originally thought that this guy would definitely bite it.

didn't expect him to say his great words so directly.

Faced with Kim Tae-ho's doubts, Park Jung-hyuk said with great sincerity: "Horses have stumbled, people have misses, what can a momentary failure say?" Is it because you didn't do well enough this time that you want to deny your achievements in the past two years? In that case, it will be the biggest injustice. ”

These words warmed Kim Tae-ho's heart, and they became one of the few comforts in the cold days of spring. "You kid, do you think you're going to be laughed at again this time?"

Smacking his lips, Kim Tae-ho also self-examined: "Actually, it's all to blame for me being too stubborn, if I had listened to your advice at that time, there would have been no such failure." ”

Park Jung-hyuk waved his hand and did not agree with him. "Geniuses are paranoid, and without stubbornness, it is impossible to achieve success that no one else can achieve. So brother, you don't need to change at all, just be yourself firmly. If one failure can be exchanged for five great successes, then the failure is totally worth it. ”

He's not talking nonsense, but he has a certain amount of truth.

"Infinite Challenge" lasts eleven years, and there is no end in sight.

During this period, countless special features have been made, some of which have been extremely successful and some of which have been extremely unsuccessful.

But no matter how strict the failure was, it did not affect the status of this show in the minds of the audience.

This is because the impact of failure is far less than the meaning given by successful specials.

It is impossible for a person who is afraid of failure to achieve great success.

Artistic energy system, innovation first.

If you're afraid of failure, how can you innovate?

And without innovation, Korean variety shows will only stand still.

Where are the familiar classics behind?

Park Jung-hyuk's words made Kim Tae-ho feel like a spring breeze, and his self-blame finally faded a lot. "Does it really matter?"

Park Jung-hyuk pursed his lips and said nonchalantly: "What can it matter?" Isn't it just the audience scolding twice? Our ratings have not fallen, the club is still very satisfied, and everyone's salary has not been deducted, isn't it still the same. ”

Contrary to the perception of outside audiences, the standard by which TV stations look at programs is simple, that is, ratings.

A program, as long as it does not violate the law and morality, then no matter how loud the scolding outside, as long as the ratings are okay, the TV station will not be disadvantaged.

Because ratings represent attention, and with attention, there will naturally be generous advertising costs; With advertising money, TV stations can make money and survive.

Park Jung-hyuk's rude and direct advice regained Kim Tae-ho's confidence.

After calming down, looking at this younger brother who was much warmer than before, Kim Tae-ho felt a little embarrassed.

In the middle of the night, I didn't rest in the warm home, but I still ran to the TV station to comfort myself.

It feels really good to have such a junior and junior.

Thinking of this, he stood up and said while packing up his things: "Let's go, it's so late, it's delaying your rest." Let's go have some supper, brother. ”

Park Jung-hyuk stood up and asked, "Is it just eating?" It's so boring for two big men to just eat. ”

"And what do you want to do?" Kim Tae-ho asked with some hesitation.

Park Jung-hyuk made a gesture of pouring a wine glass into his mouth, "Of course I drank something." This time, you are not allowed to drink drinks, but you have to drink a bottle of soju anyway. ”

"This ...... I can't drink that. Kim Tae-ho had a bitter face, it was really difficult.

Park Jung-hyuk didn't allow him to say more, and as soon as he stretched out his arm, he grabbed the other party's shoulder. "Eh, as a man, how can you not drink? Okay, just one bottle, and I won't force you. If you don't drink it, then you don't have my brother. ”

The words have been said to this point, what else can Kim Tae-ho do except agree?

Who told him to owe a family favor?

South Korea has a well-developed late-night snack culture, especially roadside stalls.

The cost is not high, and the food is very affordable.

After coming here for more than two years, Park Jung-hyuk also fell in love with this kind of roadside stall.

As usual, I ordered some fried rice cakes, pork belly, kimchi soup or something, and Park Jung-hyuk took it upon himself to open the lid of the soju.

He didn't use a cup either, he took the bottle of soju and gestured to Kim Tae-ho.

It can be seen that Kim Tae-ho really doesn't drink much. Pinching his nose, he also raised the bottle like Park Jung-hyuk.

The hot alcohol went down to the stomach, and the reactions of the two people were different.

Park Jung-hyuk took a deep breath and felt the cold limbs warm.

Kim Tae-ho, on the other hand, covered his mouth and coughed vigorously. Even his lenses were covered with moisture, apparently wet with tears.

Looking at this brother's wolf bèi, Park Jung-hyuk smiled wantonly. "Hahaha, I said brother, you are too inferior. It's just shochu with such a low degree. ”

Kim Tae-ho stretched out his tongue and shook vigorously, and said in disbelief when he heard the words: "Such a spicy wine, you still say that the degree is low?" ”

Park Jung-hyuk looked disdainful, but did not speak.

The strongest soju in Korea is only a dozen degrees, which is about the same as Chinese beer.

For Chinese who are accustomed to drinking dozens of degrees of liquor, this thing really has no energy.

Every time he drinks, Park Jung-hyuk can make others dizzy.

After only taking a sip of wine, Kim Tae-ho's face turned red.

Not only that, but his eyes were also a little misty, and he was always out of focus.

A man sat there stunned, and suddenly, he slapped the table with a slap.

Not only is his tongue bigger, but his voice is also high. "I'll just ...... If you don't believe it, why ...... Why can't "Infinite Challenge" be a serial? Wait, always ...... Someday, I'm going to have to show for everyone...... All amazed works to come. ”

Damn, this is a high drink.

Park Jung-hyuk held back a wicked smile and handed Kim Tae-ho another bottle. "Yes, brother, we can't throw in the towel. If we do it again in a few years, we will be able to do our best. ”

"I ...... I'm sure I'll be able to ...... It can be done. Kim Tae-ho didn't know what to think of, and with a lewd smile on his face, he smiled and pointed the wine bottle at his nostrils.
