Chapter 121: The Hard Program (I)
Late one night, when Jiang Zhican received a notice to come to the conference room, he was unexpectedly found that in addition to the PD and writers of the program group, even the members of the program who were busy with schedules were also present, which made him feel a trace of unusual meaning, and looked at Li Taixian PD who was sitting on the main seat and pondering, and Jiang Hudong, Haha and other artists who were sitting on the other side bowed their heads and saluted, he walked to the familiar PD seniors and sat down, did not speak, just honestly waited for the personnel to arrive.
Not long after, after the last member of the program, singer Kim Beom-so, also hurried away, Lee Tae-hun raised his head and looked around at everyone, turned on the microphone in front of him, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "It's hard to gather everyone over so late, especially the six members of the program team, it should be a break at the end of the trip, you can come over, thank you very much." ”
Jiang Hudong and the others shook their heads or waved their hands with a smile, but did not interject.
"I knew it wasn't early, so I got straight to the point and didn't go around in circles with everyone." Lee Tae-heon looked serious, "Everyone must know the current situation of the show. Even if popular artists such as Girls' Generation and Mythology are invited, and props and sitcoms are used to try to make the program form vivid and interesting, the ratings of the recent episodes of the program have not increased as expected, and the topic caused on the Internet is almost zero.
Well, I'm sorry to tell you that I was called to the committee this afternoon to talk, and they didn't like our show. I think everyone knows what this means, so I don't know. I call everyone over today, the main purpose is one, everyone look at this document, this is my idea of how the program will be carried out next, a new form of program. ”
Li Tae-hun handed over the stack of documents at hand to everyone, especially staring at Jiang Hudong and the others' reactions after reading the documents. Kang Ji-chan sat outside, and when he got the document printed in black and white, he was the first to get the document and saw that Kim Beom-so, one of the members of the idea, had already screamed.
"Li PD, we are a workplace reality show, your proposal to let us go to the factory to experience life as laborers, is this too much? The content of the contract we signed at the beginning is not in line with it! ”
Lee Tae-hun didn't say anything about it, and looked at the members of the show in silence, waiting for the other people's reactions.
"I can't say that, if the program is filmed according to the original model, the ratings will continue to be sluggish, and most of the program will have to be cut by the TV station. Li PD's current proposal, although, uh・・・・・・ but also for innovation and change. I feel that going to the factory to experience life is still quite interesting, at least there is a gimmick, which can cause a certain degree of topicality, right? After all, in domestic variety shows, it seems that artists go to work as laborers in factories, and they don't seem to have heard of it? ”
Jung Tae-ho, a good old man who has always been good, played a round and threw out all the good words he could think of.
Jin Fanxiu pursed her lips speechlessly and looked at the others, "Brother Hudong, haha, what do you think?" ”
Jiang Hudong was still groaning, and laughed and said: "What else can you think, since you have participated in this show, then listen to PD!" ”
Jiang Zhican's heart warmed when he heard this, although he knew that the PD in Haha's mouth was referring to the main PD Li Tae-hun, but as a member of the PD of the program group, he was undoubtedly very grateful for Haha's attitude. The so-called letting them do their duty, many times this kind of thing that should be taken for granted, will bring great comfort to people.
"I also have the same attitude as haha, but, Li PD, if we really go to the factory to shoot, then in terms of guests, female guests definitely don't need to think about it, and male guests may not be easy to find, right?" Jiang Hudong thinks long-term, reflecting the experience of senior variety artists.
"Well, I've also thought about this issue, and I've tried to give French invitations to artists who might participate, but no one wants to. On the one hand, the content of the program is really tiring and difficult to digest, and on the other hand, the ratings are not competitive, and it is reasonable that artists are reluctant to come. My plan is to not invite artists in the next two episodes, and based on the six of you regular members, during the filming of the program in the factory, create a family concept and add thickness to the show itself. ”
Seeing that Jiang Hudong, the member with the most power to speak, also agreed to his proposal, Lee Tae-hun breathed a sigh of relief, answered Jiang Hudong's questions, and at the same time explained his follow-up ideas as much as possible, and persuaded the six members as much as possible to let them shoot the program wholeheartedly and strive to get the best program effect.
After all, whether the hard work of going to the factory to do labor can have good results depends almost entirely on whether the artist is willing to fight, if the artist is unwilling to grind foreign workers, then the filming of the whole show will undoubtedly be a failure. Lee Tae-heon's proposal has been hidden in his heart for a long time, and now that this decision has been made, it is a fight to break the kettle, and whether the show of transparent people can be brought back to life depends on this time!
Therefore, he really went all out to work hard, including the work of persuading the members at this moment, and he was also unusually patient and sincere, without any arbitrariness as the main PD, fully exchanging views with the members, and answering questions one by one.
Jiang Zhican watched this scene and seriously used a pen to record the conversation process of several people in his notebook. This is definitely a valuable asset for him, and it also makes him know that Party A, who occupies the initiative, and Party B, who appears to be passive, will also have a time of compromise and persuasion, and the key is whether the PD of Party A can find the right words at the right time, so as to touch the hearts of the members, and unite the two separate wholes into one and work together.
Lee Tae-heon, who has worked for many years, has undoubtedly done it in the end. Maybe this has something to do with the main MC Jiang Hudong's current acting career, he needs this show, so he is willing to lower his profile and fight hard to accept this difficult program shooting.
Jiang Zhican stood in the corner of the iron pot factory, the stuffy factory was breathless, he looked at Jiang Hudong, who was wearing protective goggles and holding a long handle to lift the steel bucket weighing 40 kilograms, and poured the bright red hot iron slurry in the steel bucket into the mold, and he could clearly see the deep wrinkles on his face. Sweat fell down his cheeks, and he finally succeeded in his third challenge, and was affirmed by the factory master next to him and had time to rest. He stepped away from the camera for a moment, walked over to the fan, and gulped down water.
"Brother!" Jiang Zhican handed the water-soaked towel to Jiang Hudong.
"Yes, thank you, Naochan." Jiang Hudong took the towel and wiped his cheeks and forehead, exhaled a breath, and simply hung the towel around his neck, quite like going to the field to do farm work. He looked at Lu Xingcai, the member who staggered to replace him, and asked Jiang Zhican, "What about the other members, what are they doing?" ”
"Brother Tai Hao and Brother Fan Xiu are shoveling sand carts outside, Brother Kang Nan is learning the craft with a master, Brother Haha, it should be moving materials." Jiang Zhican is like a treasure.
"Well, it's all hard work, I've debuted for so many years, and I've been filming variety shows for so long, and it's the most difficult today, the last scrap car recycling plant, but not as hard as this time, the temperature on a hot day is ・・・・・・ okay, and the topic is okay, although the ratings are still the same." Jiang Hudong shook his head and sighed, "By the way, Zhican, what factory is the next show?" ”
"The next issue is not in the factory, it should be a waiter in a hotel, and it is still being negotiated, but the problem should not be big."
"Hotels? Being a waiter seems to be pretty good. Jiang Hudong touched his chin and pondered.
"It also depends on what tasks are assigned, if it is a front desk service, it is really easy." Jiang Zhican said.
"Yes, that's right." Jiang Hudong nodded thoughtfully, wiped his face with a towel again, got up and walked towards Lu Xingcai, ready to continue shooting. Kang Zhichan followed Lee Tae-heon's instructions and went outside to call several other members in, preparing to shoot the most important content of the day - the members made iron pots with their own hands.
After two failures, the members of the program finally successfully completed the production, and the next thing is to wait for the iron pot to form. Taking advantage of this, everyone rested one after another. Jiang Zhican and the staff of the program team walked out and brought in the rice and side dishes that were placed in the car. Soon after, in the cheers of Jiang Hudong and others, the iron pot made by them was freshly baked, and it was soon put into use, and after a period of time, a pot of delicious white rice was successfully cooked!
You must know that in modern urban families, rice is almost always cooked by rice cookers and other tools, and compared with rice cooked in traditional iron pots, it is far from comparable in terms of color, aroma and soft taste. For the members who live in the city all the year round, the iron pot rice is naturally delicious at this moment, and the rice cooked in the iron pot is very meaningful, and the rice cooked in the iron pot is of special significance, so whether it is Jiang Hudong, who has a large amount of food, or Lu Xingcai, who is an idol, they have eaten several bowls of rice, and the corresponding dishes are only a small amount of kimchi, pickled radish and other simplest side dishes.
At the end of the program, the members and the factory staff ate sweet rice together, while talking to each other to evaluate the order of today's members' performance, and ended warmly in the laughter after hard work.
