The two old men sat together, and the topics they talked about couldn't be all about beautiful women, big white legs, good breasts, etc., coming out of the café, Jung Hyuk Jae and Yoo Jae Seok came to a restaurant, and picked out some more interesting things about their respective jobs recently.

"Hejae, why did you go back to Yonsei today? Why do you want to regain the feeling of your student days? Liu Jae-seok looked at Jung Hyuk-jae in front of him and said with a smile.

Hearing Yoo Jae-seok's ridiculous words, Jung Hyuk-jae shook his head at first, and then explained: "I only left school last year, and if I really want to talk about it, it's not too far from my own student days." ”

Listening to Zheng Hyuk-jae's explanation, Liu Jae-seok was a little stunned, the key is that he really didn't say it wrong, just over a year after he left school, Jung Hyuk-jae has become the best among their graduates, it is estimated that this is something that none of these people expected.

"Is there something else going back to school?" Liu Zaishi asked again.

This time, Jung Hyuk-jae nodded, and then told the news that Bong Joon-ho himself planned to hold a college student film event, "Isn't this Bong Joon-ho's predecessor planning to hold a college student film festival in the school, I came over today to go through the motions, and by the way, I gave some advice to the younger students in the school." ”

"Yes!" Hearing the name of 'Bong Joon-ho' that popped out of Jung Hyuk-jae's mouth, Yoo Jae-seok's eyes lit up, reached out and gently patted her shoulder, and said with appreciation: "How did you meet Bong Joon-ho?" ”

Although Yoo Jae-seok doesn't have much spare time to go to the cinema to watch movies on weekdays, the movie "Memories of Murder" directed by Bong Joon-ho is his favorite movie, and it is precisely because of this movie that Yoo Jae-seok has become a fan of Bong Joon-ho, and when he heard the name of 'Bong Joon-ho' in Jung Hyuk-jae's mouth, Yoo Jae-seok couldn't sit still on the spot.

"Brother. You still say that you are a fan of Bong Joon-ho's predecessors, and you don't even remember which school he graduated from, where can you be considered a fan of him! As he spoke, Jung Hyuk-jae pursed his lips and said.

Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae's words, Yoo Jae-seok reacted at this time, this Bong Joon-ho clearly graduated from Yonsei University, as for how Jung Hyuk-jae met Bong Joon-ho. Anyway, the two are also alumni and seniors, and they are also people in the same circle, so it is not surprising that they met each other through mutual communication.

After a while, the store brought a few plates of various dishes to the table, and the real color and flavor were complete, and people were appetizing, and a few chopsticks went down to the plate. While eating the dishes, the two of them had a conversation without a word, and I don't know when the topic turned to the variety shows of major TV stations.

As Liu Zaishi said, now is the best time for variety shows. It's also the worst of times, and it's the 'best' because Gagaman's income has increased a lot during this period of time with the popularity of the show, and it's the worst of years, it's also because of the same thing.

Although the income and benefits have increased, the hearts of some poor Gagman in the circle have begun to be a little impetuous, and their minds are not completely focused on the recording of the show.

If Liu Zaishi throws away the mask in the show, he is usually the most excited at this time.

"How have the ratings for 'X-man' been lately?"

The two talked for a while, and Jung Hyuk-jae turned the conversation to SBS TV's ace variety show "X-man". After all, at the beginning, he himself spent a lot of effort in this variety show. Naturally, you have to pay attention to its ratings when you have the opportunity.

"The ratings of the latest episode should be okay, generally around 14% to 15%." Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae suddenly ask, Yoo Jae-seok first recalled the ratings of the latest episode of the show, and then continued.

Hearing this, Jung Hyuk-jae couldn't help but nodded. This result is okay for SBS TV, which can already be regarded as an old variety show on SBS TV, after all, no matter what, no matter how the show is revised, the indoor variety show is a 'old road' that the predecessors from all walks of life have come out, and the audience has been watching it for a while. If you keep watching it, you will inevitably get bored.

Compared with when "X-man" was just launched, almost 20% of the ratings in the period no longer existed, and instead of being able to get 15% of the ratings, the PD members of the variety show "X-man" program group were already happy to blossom in their hearts, which is the embodiment of the gap and strength.

In fact, if indoor variety shows are going downhill, it's really not something that started in recent times, the world and the earth are changing every moment, and the variety show type of indoor variety show can be regarded as very long-lived, but it will eventually be replaced by outdoor variety shows, which is also a helpless thing.

"By the way, I heard that I was coming to see you this afternoon, and Li Chiyu PD specially told me that he wanted me to greet you for him." Liu Zaishi sat aside and said.

Hearing Yoo Jae-seok's words, Jung Hyuk-jae's face couldn't help but show a little smile, "I didn't expect Lee Chi-woo PD to remember me!" ”

Liu Zaishi couldn't help but glance at him, look at what he said, I remember that when he was in the column group, Zheng Hyuk-jae was 'everyone knows and everyone knows', even if Li Chiyu forgets a guest in the column group, it is impossible to forget him, mainly because Zheng Hyuk-jae's sophistication in variety shows has left an extremely deep impression, and of course, his excessively young appearance.

When the two of them sit together and chat, they naturally follow what they think of, such as the 'X-man' that Liu Jae-seok said just now.

SBS TV's "X-man" can be said to be a lot of popular star artists, at the beginning of the show, it can be said that these artists may be on "X-man" because of work needs, but since the ratings of the show have come up, it is not easy for these people in the entertainment industry to wait for the stage of "X-man".

As the host, Liu Jae-seok may also be counted as one, from the very beginning of hosting "X-man" as Kim's excited deputy, until a certain issue later, Liu Jae-seok was the main guest. Being the main MC of X-man is a big step forward.

Next, the two started with the variety show "X-man", and after talking about "X-man", Jung Hyuk-jae turned his attention to the variety shows of other TV stations.

"Brother, don't you have a variety show on MBC TV now?" Jung Hyuk-jae said. but provoked a roll of Liu Zaishi's eyes.

"Yikes! It's all on the same TV station, don't you even know how many variety shows I have on MBC TV? ”

"Two?"

In fact, Zheng Hyuk-jae can't be blamed for this, after all, he is just carrying a flesh head on his shoulders, not a computer or anything, and there will inevitably be omissions and errors in his memory.

Because of the popularity of "X-man" ratings, Liu Zaishi, as the host, has gained a lot, and has been doing it for more than a year since last year.

One of these two variety shows is "Come and Play" co-hosted with Kim Won-hee, which is a celebrity talk show. A talk show that invites celebrities to be guests with a relaxed attitude, the program is divided into two parts, the first part is the ranking of a certain aspect of the guests, such as the most memorable things in life. The second part is in a cozy room, as the show suggests, where the celebrities come to visit, and in a relaxed conversation, they reveal some of the celebrities' secrets.

"Let's Play" was first broadcast on May 8, 2004, and another outdoor variety show, "Unplanned Challenge", began to air on April 23, 2005. Just hearing the name, you may feel a little unfamiliar. But what if this show is the predecessor of "Infinite Challenge"?

The variety show "Unconspiracy Challenge" is mainly filmed on location, which is essentially different from SBS's "X-man", which is produced in the form of a challenge that cannot be challenged by ordinary people, and is submitted by the general audience and then challenged. Although it is very novel to have the audience contribute and then challenge the production, it is just that this show does not leave a deep impression in the minds of the audience.

It aired from April 23, 2005 to October 22, 2005, with a total of 27 episodes. The ratings are compared to SBS's "X-man". But it's a lot worse, and it's only a fraction of "X-man" when it's full.

On October 29 of this year, that is, in 2005, "Unreasonable Challenge" began to be broadcast in the Saturday file "Strongly Recommended Saturday". Although this is a new name, its predecessor is "Challenge of the Unknown". But like the first season of "Unconspiracy Challenge", it is all made in the same form.

On the whole, the first and second parts of these two "Infinite Challenges" are not bad, but the audience is a little unappreciative, and the ratings are not going up for a long time.

The entire program team of "Unreasonable Challenge" is currently a little worried about their own program, not to mention the ratings of the recent program, just by looking at the audience's reaction, you can know that if it continues like this, the program will be cut just a snap of a finger.

As a wild, or outdoor variety show, the program team wanted to produce an outdoor program that was different from other variety shows at the beginning, just like in the period of "No Challenge", there would be emails from the audience in each issue, and then select the more suitable ones, and let the host challenge challenge with the effect of the program challenge.

Because there has never been a show of this type before, the main creators of the show are also moving forward in exploration, but unfortunately there is not much time left for them.

'This is Infinite Challenge!' After listening to Yoo Jae-seok's words, Jung Hyuk-jae's heart couldn't help but think, "Infinite Challenge"

In his previous life, as a not very successful PD, Kim Tae-ho, the chief PD of the show "Infinite Challenge" and "Infinite Challenge", were both Jung Hyuk-jae's idols.

"In Brother Shi, what do you think went wrong with the show?" Jung Hyuk-jae suddenly asked.

Hearing Zheng Hyukzai's words, Yoo Jae-seok raised his head and glanced at him, and he didn't know why a trace of surprise flashed in his heart, "Program, what kind of program did you say?" ”

"Naturally, it's "Infinite Challenge"" Speaking of this, Jung Hyuk-jae suddenly stopped talking, and now "Infinite Challenge" is not called this name, but "Unreasonable Challenge", and it is almost exposed.

"Infinite Challenge?" Although Yoo Jae-seok's mind was not completely placed here, the four words 'infinite challenge' in Jung Hyuk-jae's sentence just now still deeply attracted Yoo Jae-seok's attention.

Liu Zaishi is not superstitious, but some people in the program team are convinced of this, just like the name of the show has been changed in two revisions, and they all say that changing the name can change the mood.

"'Infinite Challenge' is a good name!"

Hearing Liu Zaishi's words, Zheng Hyukzai scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Brother Shi, do you also think this name sounds better than the previous one?" ”

Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae's inquiry, Yoo Jae-seok nodded.

"There must be something wrong with the show, but so far, we haven't figured it out." Yoo Jae-seok said this, but he never thought that Jung Hyuk-jae, who was sitting opposite, would speak at this time.

"In Brother Shi, I have some suggestions that I don't know whether to talk about or not."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" For his younger brother, Liu Zaishi still shows great care.

"In Brother Shi, I think the idea of the show was actually crooked at the beginning."

Thinking crooked? How is this possible? As the main MC of this show, Liu Zaishi naturally also participates in the design and planning of the game.

Zheng Hyukzai picked up the water cup on the table and took a few sips, and quickly recalled in his mind the excellence of the 'Infinite Challenge' program planning in his previous life, and after a while, he said: "In Brother Shi, in fact, the challenge content of the show is not limited to making games or anything, it is the routine of indoor variety shows in the past, funny, pursuit battles, sports challenges, music performances, TV plays, calendar production, and personal victory and defeat duels. ”

"Outdoor variety shows are all about suddenness, randomness and fun, some things don't need to be deliberately arranged, more often the power is given to the host, and the producer of the show needs to watch it from God's point of view, or stand on the opposite side of the host"

Such a remark, Jung Hyuk-jae said it carefully, Yoo Jae-seok listened carefully, and the scene was very harmonious. (To be continued.) )
