At nine o'clock in the morning, Kang Zhichan was sent to check the ratings of the new episode, and finally at the end of the posted program ratings table, he found the name of the transparent person program without surprise. It's not a big blow, I've been used to it for a long time. It's just that when he received the news that the show was abolished the next day, the whole person was stunned. Even if it was vaguely expected.

"Zhican, Hudong's side, you have a good relationship with him, and you are busy with the program team, you will tell Hudong this news." On the phone, Lee Tae-hun said in a tired voice.

Jiang Zhican didn't know how to respond, so he could only be silent speechlessly.

In the evening, in the barbecue restaurant opened by Jiang Hudong, Jiang Zhican and Jiang Hudong sat opposite each other. He hesitated, not knowing how to speak, Jiang Hudong observed the words, sandwiched a piece of barbecue meat for him, and said with a smile: "I can guess, you don't have to be too embarrassed." ”

"Brother, I'm sorry." Jiang Zhican said guiltily.

"Is this on behalf of the program team?" Jiang Hudong asked.

"Well, and my own."

Jiang Hudong took a sip of soju, reached out and patted Jiang Zhican's shoulder: "What are you sorry for, eat, this barbecue is an authentic Korean beef, next time you come, there will be no good thing for free." ”

"Yes." Jiang Zhican lowered his head and picked up the barbecue and ate it in his mouth.

"Tastes good?"

Jiang Zhican nodded, his expression was gloomy, and there was no excitement in tasting the food.

"Naochan, Transparent Man is your first show, right?" Jiang Hudong asked, seeing Jiang Zhican nodding, he continued, "Speaking of which, it should be me who comforts you." The show was abolished, and as the main MC of the show, it is also difficult to escape the blame. You're just a newcomer, and you need to take responsibility for what you need. Well, Li PD called you to come and tell me the news, but he saw this, if he came to tell me himself, maybe he would have to deal with him. ”

Jiang Zhican poured wine on Jiang Hudong and didn't speak.

"Feeling lost?" Jiang Hudong instead pushed the wine glass to Jiang Zhican and motioned for him to have a drink.

"Lost, and always feel unreal, as if I just joined the program group, and the show suddenly disappeared. Brother, I'm a little reluctant, I have a lot of details in my mind, and it feels like it was yesterday. Obviously, everyone is working hard, why can't it? Jiang Zhican drank the soju and looked depressed.

Jiang Hudong silently drank two glasses of wine with him, then looked at him and said, "Do you know that my brother has ever retired?" ”

Jiang Zhican raised his eyes to look at him and nodded inexplicably.

"Do you know that Transparent Man is the first show to be scrapped since my comeback?" Jiang Hudong stretched out four fingers, "The fourth, since two years ago, all the way over, this is my fourth program to be abolished." Surprised? Then you know how I hosted the show before I retired, right? Whether it is two days and one night or a strong heart, each of them can be called a trump card program, and it was also at that time that I and Jae-seok were known as the two major mountains in the variety show industry of the Republic of Korea.

It's a pity, I still can't compare to Zaishi, and I have made a mistake in dealing with people outside the show. As the old saying goes, one step at a time, I retired for a while, and after I came back, it was extremely difficult to walk. However, Zhican, can you tell from my brother's face that you are unwilling to be lost? Jiang Hudong pointed to his big fat face and approached Jiang Zhican.

Jiang Zhican looked at Jiang Hudong's face, looked at this face that was extremely large from a distance, and shook his head seriously.

"Do you know why?"

Jiang Zhichan continued to shake his head.

"Because when I was young, the difficulties and hardships I suffered were much more difficult than the twists and turns of the past two years. You know, in the Korean entertainment industry, it has always been the actor first, the funny artist is the end, when I was young, to be a funny artist, it was really not a glorious thing, not to mention the opposition of the family, in the TV station a program and a program starring, the meals are not guaranteed, and the food is all takeout or ramen, that hard work, is now young people, it is difficult to understand and imagine.

Zhican, you are looking at me, looking at Zaishi, compared with artists in the popular sense, it is understandable to say that they are ugly. When no one recognizes you, you do funny things, if you are handsome or beautiful, it is most likely difficult to succeed, because others will not find it funny, even if it is something out of the ordinary, the audience will find it cute and interesting when they see it, only a guy like us who is not good-looking can bring peace of mind and fun to the audience like a clown.

At that time, although doing what we like, the desire to be respected and loved by the audience from the bottom of our hearts is almost a luxury for us, and the resulting loss of self-esteem and frustration of confidence are actually more hurtful than physical tiredness. For example, when Shi was young, he was arrogant and talented, so he was hit and lost in his heart, which is difficult to talk to outsiders. And my words have always adhered to the word diligence, and I have never struggled like in Shi, but I have always been suppressed.

Later, he and I both succeeded, and his road was smooth, while I encountered a hurdle and had to work hard to overcome it. The reason may be that when I was young, the slope was not high, although the speed was slow and hard, but I didn't bump so much in the stone, at that time, in the stone can drink all the wine for a lifetime, and the love road is not smooth, the twentieth generation just bumped all the way over, fortunately, he himself is smart and has a high emotional intelligence, and his temperament is slowly polished and matured, and he met Jingen in love, and finally survived, and after the thirtieth generation, with the rise of the status of variety shows, it also went all the way.

My words, on the contrary to him, didn't hurt so much when he was young, but in his forties, because he made a mistake, he had to retire, and he stayed at home for many days with nothing to do, and his heart was like boiling a small fire. It's just that, after all, he is a man in his forties, unlike when he was young, he is more mature and stable, and no matter how sad and tumble he encounters, he will not run to the river and run to a tavern like a young man in his twenties, and toss his body to vent.

So, Naochan, it's really bad news that your first show was abolished, but don't be too sad, after all, you're young, and now you're suffering and tired, and it will be a blessing in the future. Maybe you will not be happy in the future, like Zaishi when he was young, he has neither money nor appearance, and he refuses to let go of the girl after chasing him, that kind of torment, at that time I sat on the playground with him, and drank soju without a little temperature on a cold day, and waited for the girl he liked to pass by, that feeling of cold heart, I will never forget it in my life.

But you look at the current Zaishi, the marriage is happy, the career is smooth, the youth suffered and suffered, now look back and look back what is it? It's nothing more than a scar on his arm when he was at the peak of his blood and qi, and when it is exposed, maybe there will be a little nurse who thinks that this uncle has a story!

Of course, brother, I don't envy Zaishi. His path, when he was young, pushed himself too hard and too unsmooth, and if he was not careful, he might not be able to afford it. And I, when I was young, I had a successful career in the thirtieth generation, although the forties encountered difficulties, I had no worries about food and clothing, and it was not that I couldn't get up from now on.

These are two roads, the road in the stone is narrower, like a surging canyon, once you cross the river and the ocean for you to fly, and my road, it is like climbing the mountain road, when the strength is not enough, climb slowly, when the strength is strong, step by step, as I am now, I fell down, I rested in the pavilion halfway up the mountainside, flattened the impatience in my heart, and slowly set off again.

Naochan, I don't know which path you'll take in the future, or maybe you'll have your own path. However, in any case, although this failure is bad news, it is undoubtedly a valuable life treasure for you who are young or newcomer. So you, don't be obsessed with the abolition of this show, learn to accept and let go, and take your future work more seriously. ”

Jiang Hudong put down his wine glass, a little drunk.

Jiang Zhican got up and bowed to thank him, his face was slightly drunk, and he said goodbye to Jiang Hudong.

"Well, come on, after all, it's my brother with the same surname, you have to work hard!" Jiang Hudong waved his hand and said.

Jiang Zhican nodded silently and slowly walked out of the barbecue restaurant, he passed by an alley corner, and suddenly threw himself on the trash can and vomited without warning. I didn't drink much, but I couldn't get used to it.

The mobile phone rang at this moment, and he was embarrassed to connect, it was Qiu Keche, who had not been in contact for a long time, and asked him to meet at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to meet someone.

There was an undoubted oppression in Ke Qiuche's voice, like a lion fighting back in front of a high cliff. Jiang Zhican was stunned, hung up the phone, was silent for a while, he got up and walked in the direction of home, an indescribable heaviness enveloped his body, as if he had returned to that desperate night, and the road home was long and cold.

ps: I'm not sure if it's more the day after tomorrow, it's said that this side is going to cool down very strongly, and I'm afraid of the cold without air conditioning. There is also a final review that takes up time. If I don't, I'll make up for it when I get home. Also, moving on to the third volume, it should be better, although unfortunately, the second volume is really not written, and deviates from my intended outline. How to say it, I have always felt that it is self-entertainment, so the writing is more casual than writing with my own temperament, and I will be more rigorous in the future, and I will try to write better and more compactly. Thank you.
