The recording of "Infinite Challenge" was Tuesday, not a fixed Thursday for the rest of the world.

Because of the pursuit of excellence in editing, Park Jung-hyuk spent an extra day. It wasn't until Saturday morning that he handed over the finished tape to Kim Tae-ho.

Four all-nighters in a row has long exhausted Park Jung-hyuk's energy. He didn't drive at all and let Kim Tae-hee take him home.

Hastily found something to check his stomach, he fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was Sunday morning.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the mobile phone at the bedside was blowing up.

After sleeping for a day and a night, Park Jung-hyuk's whole body was sore. After working hard for a long time, I barely felt a little.

For such a long time, the phone kept ringing, and it was obvious that there was something very important to look for him.

Park Jung-hyuk struggled to crawl over and answered the phone.

As soon as he reached his ear, Ji Yingcai's scolding voice exploded. "Ah, stinky boy, finally answered the phone. What are you doing? Even making out with your girlfriend can be paused. ”

Park Jung-hyuk was full of black lines, and said resentfully: "Brother, do you like to call when others are intimate with their girlfriends?" ”

Ji Yingcai choked for a moment, and then said in annoyance: "Ah, what are you doing?" It's all crooked by your kid. ”

Park Jung-hyuk smiled and finally pulled back a game. "Tell me, Lord PD, what's the matter with me? As far as I know, there are no plans to shoot in the next two days. ”

Ji Yingcai on the other end of the phone whistled and said very proudly: "I called you to tell sù a happy event." I reckon you'll be happy and run out to celebrate with us. ”

"Huh? Is there such a good thing? Park Jung-hyuk is suspicious and doesn't believe it so lightly.

"Yikes! Really, am I a liar? Ji Youngjae was a little angry, obviously resentful of Park Jung-hyuk's suspicion of him.

is different from Kim Tae-ho's seemingly delicate image, but in fact, the most sensitive person is Ji Yingcai.

He is prone to fluctuations in his feelings because of the slightest triviality.

So Park Jung-hyuk teased him and quickly asked about the matter. "Brother, let's talk about it, you can't tell me about good things."

Ji Yingcai's mood became happy again, and he smiled: "Today is Sunday, do you know what is the most important thing for us?" ”

"What is it?" Park Jung-hyuk paused, but quickly reacted.

He sat up and asked anxiously, "Brother, is the new ratings coming out?" ”

No wonder he was so excited, yesterday's broadcast was the first episode of the third season, which is the upper part of Wei Shengmei's special.

He participated in the whole recording, and he led the editing in the later stage.

This is like his child, heart to heart, blood connection, every bit of concern in the bones.

Seeing that Park Jung-hyuk was starting to get anxious, Ji Young smiled even more. "Haha, you kid, you've finally come to your senses. Sue you, sit tight. ”

Having said that, Park Jung-hyuk already knows that this issue of "Infinite Challenge" must be a good achievement.

Sure enough, Ji Yingcai's words confirmed his guess. "For the first time, the ratings of our program reached 16.5 percent. Our opponent, "Love Letters," has only 4.5 percent viewership. Do you understand what it means? ”

Park Jung-hyuk was so frightened that he almost jumped out of bed.

In any case, he didn't expect that this issue of "Infinite Challenge" would be so powerful.

You must know that although it has surpassed "Love Letter" before, there is not much difference between the two sides. Sometimes, there are even winners and losers.

It was not until the later stage of the guessing master that "Infinite Challenge" gradually consolidated its advantage over "Love Letter".

But when he will be able to complete his ascension to the throne, no one can guarantee.

Unexpectedly, this day came so fast that Park Jung-hyuk was not even prepared to react.

He hugged the phone and whispered. "Celebrating, it's to celebrate, such a big good thing can't be said without getting drunk."

Ji Yingcai waited for his words, and laughed: "Then what are you waiting for, give you two hours to rush to the tavern here in Nanshan." Place, you know, is where we often meet. Kim Tae-ho PD said that this time he had to drink from noon to midnight. ”

Hung up the phone, Park Jung-hyuk didn't care about anything else, rolled over and rolled off the bed, and turned on the computer directly.

When I entered the official websites of AGB and TNms, I saw the number of jù that had just been updated at a glance.

Sure enough, among the programs in the Saturday afternoon session, "Infinite Challenge" topped the list with an absolute advantage. The gap between it and the second place is a cliff-like drop.

SBS's "Love Letters" was only ranked 15th, narrowly missing out of the top 20.

Seeing the ratings report with his own eyes, Park Jung-hyuk finally felt a lot more relieved.

He recalled it well, remembering that in the first episode of the third season of his previous life, the ratings of "Infinite Challenge" were only 9.5% and 12.7%, which was far less domineering than it is now.

There is such a big gap between the two worlds.

As for why this happened, he decided to go to the official website to find the answer.

The increase in ratings shows that the audience likes it.

And where this kind of like can be feedback, that is the official website forum.

After logging in to the MBC official website, Park Jung-hyuk directly found the "Infinite Challenge" section.

After reading it, the smile on the corner of his mouth was as bright as a blooming flower.

"I really laughed to death yesterday, which PD did the editing? I was fascinated by those complaining subtitles. ”

"Yes, yes, the members work so hard, and there are no subtitles to be funny."

"When I saw the subtitles, it was as if there was one more person in the show out of thin air. And this person's complaints are really endless, so you can't think of it. ”

"I counted it in particular, and in yesterday's subtitles, Park Myung-so complained the most. It seems that this PD has a grudge against Park Myung-so, and he actually gave him so many bombs. ”

Indeed, Park Myung-so's cousin should also be complained about like this. Could it be that Kim Tae-ho PD is personally responsible for the subtitles? ”

"Reply to the upstairs, it's not. I have a relative who works in MBC, and he told me that the editing of this issue was done by Park Jung-hyuk PD. ”

"That's right, that's right, the style of speaking is similar to Park Jung-hyuk's PD. I still remember the episode when he showed his face, bringing back the deaths of Lee Hyo-ri and Yoo Jae-shi. ”

"Hey, I really didn't expect that subtitles could be so funny. In particular, the color and format of the font are full of cartoon feel. Even my children loved it. ”

I flipped through the forum throughout, and almost 4,000 comments were definitely part of the discussion of subtitles.

It was the first time for the audience to have come into contact with such subtitles, and the novel mode suddenly made the show more interesting and stimulated the audience's enthusiasm for watching.

Seeing these things, Park Jung-hyuk finally understood that it was his appearance that changed the original fate of "Infinite Challenge".

You must know that the subtitles he made are not just the content in the original.

There are also many places that, according to his understanding, have added more interesting things to the unprovoked style.

And those forms of subtitles and sound effects, as well as bombs with skulls, are things that will come later.

Now that he has taken it out, it has suddenly opened up the gap with the current show.

It's no surprise that viewers are attracted by the novelty of the program model and contribute such high ratings.

Park Jung-hyuk smiled, and his heart was extremely down-to-earth.

It wasn't until this moment that he had the feeling that he had changed the world a little.

Although he came from a poor background, he did not have a strong background and an inexhaustible amount of money. But he relied on his own efforts and finally had a sense of existence in this world.

By the time he arrived at the tavern, Kim Tae-ho and Ji Young-jae had already drunk it.

There was no one else but the two of them.

This is where the three PDs of Infinite Challenge meet privately and will not allow others to join.

After all, there are some words that are only suitable for the three of them to circulate; There are some things that can only be known by themselves.

Kim Tae-ho doesn't drink liquor, and according to him, if you drink too much, it will affect your sobriety.

Even if he drinks beer, he is limited to one can.

Unlike Ji Youngjae and Park Jung-hyuk, both of them are drunk. Although it is not to the point of being a heavy drinker, it is also a strong drinker.

Park Jung-hyuk hurriedly walked over, and while sitting down, he snatched Ji Young-jae's soju and poured it for himself.

Kim Tae-ho watched his movements with a smile and said, "I received a call from the director just now, and he praised us for our good performance, and finally gave MBC a sigh of relief." And he also said that after the Arts and Energy Bureau did the research, we will increase our budget by another two percent. In addition, more helpers will be sent to us. ”

Park Jung-hyuk breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "It's a thought of us, if we don't send someone over, it is estimated that we will be exhausted." ”

Can you not get tired?

In the entire program group, PD is just the three of them.

The only FD Xia Chengzhi is not yet useful.

In other words, the big and small things in the program group basically need them to work.

At most, occasionally, the writer Kong Zhixian will make a cameo.

None of the rest of the writers are up to the task.

If the Arts Bureau transfers a few FDs over, then the three of them can let go of a lot of things. For example, field affairs, such as props, such as the connection of the venue, and so on.

That way, they can be much easier.

Kim Tae-ho also felt the same way, and instructed him: "After you go to work tomorrow, go to the personnel department to pick people." Among the new employees this year, three is enough. ”

Park Jung-hyuk took the incident to heart, and then raised his glass. "Two brothers, our show is finally raising eyebrows. For today's results, should we do it? ”

Kim Tae-ho's hand rested on his wrist and added. "We also want to pray that our show will be more popular in the future."

Ji Yingcai's wine glass touched it, and he laughed: "It will definitely be, because we are on the right path." ”

The troika of "Infinite Challenge" each spoke their own thoughts, and the wine glasses also collided, heralding the official start of the show's heyday.
