Chapter 48: A Grim Situation
When the second episode was edited, the ratings of the first episode were released.
5.3 percent, an increase from the past, but not by much.
In the comments on the official website, many people's discussions are changes in subtitles.
Many people have suggested that the subtitles have become cute, and they can't stop laughing just by looking at the subtitles.
Kim Tae-ho, Ji Young-jae, and Park Jung-hyuk watched the feedback together, and they were very impressed by this.
"When you have time, you continue to study and strive to make this subtitle form perfect. When the show is on the right track, it's up to it to win. Kim Tae-ho commanded.
Park Jung-hyuk clearly felt that Kim Tae-ho at this time was like a sponge absorbing water, and he was desperately gathering the experience of making a show.
I believe that as long as he is given time, the future Dacheng Kim Tae-ho will definitely cultivate.
The ratings have finally increased, and the Arts Bureau has also relaxed a lot.
Jin Jiushan conveyed the words of the director and asked the program team to make persistent efforts and strive to reach a higher level.
But the current format of the program determines that "Infinite Challenge" cannot have much room for improvement.
Sure enough, in the third issue, even if Bong Tae-gyu, who is currently popular, was invited, the ratings still took a big dive.
The ratings of 3.1 percent made everyone in the program team silent and completely lost their luster.
Jin Jiushan also rushed over, did not save face at all, and criticized the three PDs in public. "I said a long time ago that this show has no future, and it should have been stopped in the first place. Kim Tae-ho PD, you have promised that you will be able to make new ideas, now this achievement, how can I explain to the director? ”
Becoming the king and defeating the king, Kim Tae-ho was silent and completely speechless.
Ji Young-jae and Park Jung-hyuk also had ugly faces and did not dare to look at Kim Jiusan.
Jin Jiushan's reproach is still good, and the next words will be a bigger disaster for them. "We discussed that it was no longer feasible for Infinite Challenge to continue with such a large budget. Therefore, the budget will be cut for the next recording. When the ratings can be improved, let's discuss it again. ”
The CP has left, and the atmosphere of the program team is still depressed.
Seeing that everyone's fighting spirit was hit, Kim Tae-ho took the initiative to take the initiative. "I'm sorry everyone, but I didn't do a good job to cause this result."
Park Jung-hyuk couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand to stop Kim Tae-ho's self-blame. "Brother, we can't wait any longer. Everyone has seen that the existing MC lineup is not good at all, and the format of the show has to be changed. ”
This time, Ji Yingcai is no longer with the mud. He said firmly: "Zhao Huilian and Yin Zhengxiu must get off, in this kind of show, it is difficult to achieve harmony with women." Yoon Jung-so has never been able to fit in, and keeping him is not beneficial to the show. ”
The two of them didn't say anything, and Kim Tae-ho also learned from the pain.
The Arts and Energy Bureau has already made a plan to cut the budget, and if it doesn't change, the next step is to stop the show.
At the critical moment of life and death, any soft-heartedness is irresponsible to oneself.
He finally made up his mind, "Okay, tell them to get off." We will continue to look for new members, and we must be in line with the concept of the program as the only criterion. ”
The announcement of getting off the bus was conveyed by Park Jung-hyuk himself.
He has unparalleled expectations for this show, and naturally he is the one who least wants an accident on the show.
Conveying that getting off the bus is a very offensive job, since everyone is unwilling to do it, he simply took it.
In fact, when Zhao Huilian and Yin Zhengxiu were recording the show, they also felt very uncomfortable, and they always felt that what they did was wrong.
After receiving the notice to get off the car, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and had no complaints.
According to the agreed results, two more episodes will be recorded, and they will automatically leave the program group.
The show encountered an unprecedented crisis, and Park Jung-hyuk became nervous.
This time he no longer hid it, but took the initiative to start outputting his thoughts.
After discussing with Kim Tae-ho and Ji Young-jae, he decided that after two episodes, the second season of "Infinite Challenge" will officially end.
And because of the reduced budget, it's no longer realistic to record outdoors. Therefore, the next transition must be mainly in the shed.
Park Jung-hyuk defined the program of this period as a guessing expert.
When the last episode of the second episode was recorded, the guests were Superjunior's prodigy and Lee Chung-hee.
The theme of this issue is the showdown with the king of quick calculations, which is actually the warm-up of the guessing expert.
As a result, when the recording was made, the prodigy was very outstanding, which amazed the entire program group.
After the recording was over, Kim Tae-ho approached Ji Young-jae and Park Jung-hyuk and asked, "How about letting the prodigy join as a new MC?" As you can see, his table is very good. is an idol again, with a lot of fans, which should be able to drive the popularity of the show. ”
Ji Yingcai didn't have much of an opinion on this and didn't say anything.
But Park Jung-hyuk was resolutely opposed and gave in at all. "Brother, absolutely not."
"Tell me your reasoning." After a long time together, Kim Tae-ho also has a deep understanding of this younger brother's talent and acumen.
So when Park Jung-hyuk resolutely objected, he was not annoyed, but asked for the reason.
Opposing the joining of the prodigy, Park Jung-hyuk is certainly not prejudiced, and his reasons are very sufficient. "Brother, don't forget, the prodigy is a member of the idol group. What if the recording schedule of the show conflicts with the schedule of their group? Besides, the ** company behind him is not a good stubble. If we wait for the prodigy to gain a firm foothold and use us as a stage for promoting artists, will we agree or refuse? ”
Hearing his words, Kim Tae-ho and Ji Young were shocked and finally knew what they had overlooked.
One of the characteristics of idol groups is that they have a lot of schedules, and there is almost no time to rest.
In such a situation, the recording of the program and the activities of the combination are bound to create conflicts.
At that time, no matter which one the prodigy ignores, there will be a strict disagreement.
Again, to the S.M company, they are all on the lookout for the TV station workers.
Unless necessary, I really don't want to get entangled with S.M.
After considering the two phases, the prodigy is naturally not a qualified candidate.
But the problem is that Zhao Huilian and Yin Zhengxiu got off the bus, and there are only six MCs left.
In order to maintain coordination, I have to add one more.
Thinking that the person who insisted on getting Cho Hye-lian and Yoon Jung-so off at the beginning was Park Jung-hyuk, and the bell still needed to be tied to the bell, Kim Tae-ho simply kicked the problem to him. "And who do you think is more suitable?"
Since he asked himself, Park Jung-hyuk's candidate is, of course, the original fixed member. "I think haha."
Haha who it is, Kim Tae-ho and Ji Young-jae both know each other.
A singer who has debuted for five or six years, but has no famous works.
On the contrary, in "Xman" in the S headquarters, it gradually became popular because of the imitation of Kim Jong Kook.
But their understanding of Haha is limited to this, and they can't think of anything special about this person.
In this regard, Park Jung-hyuk gave an explanation. Haha has fixed "Xman" for a long time, and formed Ha Myung-kook with Kim Jong Kook and Park Myung-so, so it can be said that he is very familiar with Yoo Jae-seok and Park Myung-so. And what you don't know is that Haha and Lu Hongzhe have a very close relationship and have been playing together. It can be said that he joins in, and he doesn't need to adapt at all, and he can cooperate with other MCs. ”
The reasons he gave were very good and convinced by Kim Tae-ho and Ji Young-jae.
Haha's sense of artistry goes without saying, even the hottest "Xman" can stand and stand out from so many artists, and "Infinite Challenge", which is only seven people, is definitely not a problem.
Another one, he is indeed very familiar with Liu Zaishi and others.
With mutual understanding, others are willing to cooperate with him, and he can also integrate well.
The reason why the previous lineup was not good was because there were all kinds of problems between the MCs.
Kim Sung-so is from a well-known singer group COOL and rarely sets foot in the comedy world.
Zhao Huilian is a woman, and she lacks a common language with men.
Yin Zhengxiu doesn't know what he's been busy with in the past few years, and it can be seen that his mind is not on the performance at all.
In such a comparison, the advantage of haha is too obvious.
Before the recording of the first episode of the third season began, Park Jung-hyuk went to find Yoo Jae-seok, who was putting on makeup at the time.
"In Brother Shi, there is something I need your help with." Park Jung-hyuk sneaked in and sat next to him.
We've been working together for so long, and we've been getting acquainted with each other for a long time.
Liu Zaishi also appreciates this busy PD who has a lot of ideas. Seeing him come in, he smiled happily: "What, is it a thing on the show?" ”
Park Jung-hyuk nodded and asked, "Brother, are you familiar with Hahaxi?" ”
Recently, Zhao Huilian and Yoon Jung-so got off the bus, and Yoo Jae-seok also knew that the program team would recruit new MCs to come in.
Hearing him say this, he asked, "Want to let Haha in?" ”
Park Jung-hyuk didn't hide it either, and said frankly: "I've watched Haha Xi's appearance in "Xman", and I think he is more suitable for our show. If my brother is familiar with him, I wonder if you can make an appointment for me? ”
Liu Zaishi waved his hand and said confidently: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll just convey it to him." When is he going to report? ”
Hearing that the program team intended to recruit Nahaha in, Liu Zaishi was very happy.
He knew each other back in 2001 haha.
At that time, Haha had just debuted and was not well-known at all. But Liu Zaishi recognized him and walked to the car to greet him.
Since then, the two have been connected to each other.
Later, they have been working together in "Xman", which has made the relationship between the two closer and closer.
Now, it's as close as brothers.
That's why Liu Zaishi was so happy and agreed for Haha.
That kid doesn't have any TV opportunities other than "Xman" now.
At this time, there is one more fixed program, which is not an ordinary big help to haha.
Since Yoo Jae-seok gave a guarantee, Park Jung-hyuk was also happy, so he asked Yoo Jae-seok to convey haha and come to report in the second issue.
