Chapter 211: Liu Zaishi's troubles

Li Junxi went to find a few girls first, handed over the car keys to Jiang Hudong's personal assistant, and asked the other party to send a few girls back to the dormitory.

pulled Song Qian to explain again, now the girls have confirmed that they are going to debut, in the next few days, the intensity of practice will increase, and at the same time, Li Junxi is also worried that there will be problems with their mentality, Song Qian is the captain, and some problems can only be explained to her.

Don't look at Song Qian, she always looks like she doesn't look big in front of Li Junxi, but she is actually very responsible, and she is very good at taking care of people, and she is very prestigious among several girls.

After sending Song Qian and them away, Li Junxi returned to the box, Jiang Hudong and Liu Zaishi had already started drinking, and it could be seen that Liu Zaishi's mood was indeed very bad, and the picture in front of him was Jiang Hudong saying that Liu Zaishi was drinking alone.

Seeing that Li Junxi was back, Jiang Hudong greeted: "Junxi! Come and sit here, you're getting busier and busier, and we haven't had a drink together in a long time! ”

Lee Jun-hee has always been very grateful to Kang Ho-dong and Yoo Jae-seok, and if it weren't for them in the "X-Man" show, Lee Jun-hee's return would have been much slower.

Li Junxi sat down next to Liu Zaishi, and seeing that Liu Zaishi still looked absent-minded, he asked with a smile: "Brother Zaishi!" What's wrong, the way you look now, you don't look like the national MC who brought laughter to the whole country on the show! ”

Liu Zaishi smiled bitterly: "Alas! What a national mc, I think I'm going to the end! ”

Li Junxi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, what happened to make Liu Zaishi so negative, as far as Li Junxi knew, Liu Zaishi was not such a negative person.

I think that at the beginning, Liu Zaishi persevered during the ten-year period of being nameless. In the end, he succeeded step by step, but right now, Liu Zaishi looked so listless, which really surprised Li Junxi.

"What the hell is going on? In Brother Shi! If I'm a friend, just tell me about it! Maybe I can help! ”

Liu Zaishi shook his head and didn't speak, although in the show, he is ten very open people, but in private, his personality is actually very shy.

Liu Zaishi didn't say it, Jiang Hudong could only do it for him. Tell me everything as it is.

It turned out to be a matter of work, and the original national variety show "X-Man" has inevitably come to an end, but in fact, this is also something that can't be helped.

As one of the first classic entertainment programs to set off a boom in Korean variety shows in Asia, "X-Man" has been with Korean audiences for 2 years and 5 months.

From the beginning of the broadcast to the present, "X-Man" has undergone two large-scale revisions in the strict sense, and the first revision expands the scale of the program, ushering in the golden age of "X-Man".

Not long ago, it underwent a second revision. On the basis that the original rules can no longer give full play to the novelty of the program, the rules have been changed, but it is obvious that the second revision is a failure. It also hastened the decline of "X-Man" from a certain point of view.

In the heyday of "X-Man", it featured an all-star cast of participating guests, and the funny fun and exciting highlights of the show's games emerged one after another. It brought a constant popular topic to the audience and left a lot of classic memories.

But now, because of limitations. As well as the outdoor variety show boom set off by KBS's "nrghousehold" before, the ratings of "X-Man" are getting lower and lower, although it is still insisting now, but the suspension of the broadcast seems to be inevitable.

The decline of "X-Man", coupled with the equally unsuccessful broadcast of "Unreasonable Challenge" on MBC, has made Yoo Jae-seok's career as a national MC also fall into underestimation.

Of course, Yoo Jae-seok is so depressed, not because of the show's poor ratings, but because he has doubts about his ability to be funny, and he even feels that his set, like "X-Man", is outdated.

As a gagman, if you can't bring laughter to the audience, it's obviously a very failure.

In fact, some media have already said this, as the ratings of "Unreasonable Challenge" and "X-Man" have been declining, some media have begun to hack Yoo Jae-seok, and their main direction of attack is Yoo Jae-seok's funny way.

Jiang Hudong doesn't care, in fact, compared with Liu Zaishi's situation, his situation is even more difficult, after all, "X-Man" is still insisting, and Jiang Hudong's other variety show "Love Letter" on SBS TV has been confirmed to be taken down soon.

"If you want me to say that this is nothing to worry about at all, in Shi you are worried that you are falling behind, there is no need at all, you are just in a period of adjustment now, as long as it passes, you will soon usher in a new peak in your career, is it more difficult now than your ten-year-long period of nobody?"

Liu Zaishi sighed and said, "Brother Hudong! The situation is different now than it was then! ”

Jiang Hudong pouted: "What's different!" ”

Liu Zaishi said with a wry smile: "At that time, I was confident in my strength, but I lacked an opportunity, and now? I have a lot of opportunities in my hands, but I can't grasp any of them, especially in the program "Unreasonable Challenge", MBC TV has invested so much, but those of us who participated in the show can't give the TV station high ratings in return, and the pressure on me is really great! ”

Li Junxi listened, and gradually understood a little, one of the things that Liu Zaishi is worried about now is that his funny way is outdated, no longer liked and accepted by people, and the other thing he is worried about is the TV station.

For the MBC TV executives who have spent a lot of effort and money on the show "Unreasonable Challenge", what they want is a return with high ratings, so they don't care if the ratings of the show can't go up, whether it's the show itself, or something else, they will only ask for reasons on the participating team.

Previously, the MC team of the show "Unreasonable Challenge" has changed one after another, and maybe when, it will be Liu Zaishi's turn.

Once you are labeled as a loser. At that time, it will not be so easy to remove it.

"In Brother Shi! Actually, I met Kim Tae-ho PD today! ”

Yoo Jae-seok was shocked when he heard this, Kang Ho-dong may not know which onion Kim Tae-ho is, but as the main MC of "Unreasonable Challenge", Yoo Jae-seok is certainly no stranger to Kim Tae-ho.

"Jun-hee! You ~~~~~~~~"

Li Junxi did not hide it, and briefly introduced the reason and process of their meeting: "To be honest, I was also very confused before, it stands to reason that with the investment of the show "Unreasonable Challenge". and the MC team, the ratings should definitely not be what they are now, but after watching a few episodes, I can probably understand it now! ”

Liu Zaishi's eyes lit up suddenly, he had also discussed the ratings of "Unreasonable Challenge" with Kim Tae-ho before, and he also felt that some of the settings of the show itself were very strange, but Kim Tae-ho, how to say it, people who are self-confident and talented will always be a little stubborn. Kim Tae-ho couldn't listen to Yoo Jae-seok's doubts at all, and the result was that the setting of each episode of the show became more and more outrageous, and when he wanted to recycle it. It's too late, and it's just a four-like thing to get now.

Every time Liu Zaishi is recording "Unreasonable Challenge", he feels very awkward. But I can't say what went wrong with the show itself, and now I hear Lee Jun-hee's words. His curiosity was immediately piqued.

"Jun-hee! What does it feel like something is wrong? ”

Li Junxi sorted out his thoughts a little and said: "First of all, although "Unreasonable Challenge" is dressed in the cloak of an outdoor variety show, it has not yet stepped out of the category of indoor variety shows, think about the place where you shoot every time, either in the stadium or in the video hall, and also, in Brother Shi, I don't know if you feel that the setting of each episode of your show is very strange!" ”

Liu Zaishi scratched his hair and looked distressed: "I also have some feelings about this, but I can't figure out what the problem is!" Jun-hee! Let's talk about it! ”

Li Junxi continued: "In Brother Shi! Don't you think that the goal of each of your challenges is very insane? ”

When Liu Zaishi heard this, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, he laughed twice, and he didn't know how to answer.

Li Junxi also felt a little embarrassed, in front of the main MC, it was really not good to comment on other people's programs like this, but this is all the truth, the truth.

"Compare strength with scalpers, compare speed with trains, in Brother Shi! I'd really like to ask, what's the point of all this, to prove your strength and speed, or does the audience have to want to see you make a fool of yourself, or is it trying to teach the audience some science or something? And the last few episodes of the show are all in the studio, looking for a few popular stars, in Brother Shi! What exactly do you want to challenge!? Telling jokes? ”

Liu Jae-seok blushed when Li Junxi said: "This, that's how the show is set!" ”

Jiang Hudong on the side was also a little unbearable: "Junxi! If you kid has any good ideas, just say it, don't make people angry! ”

As two people who have worked together in "nrghousehold", Jiang Hudong is very confident in Li Junxi's talent, when he was recording "nrghousehold", almost all of those good ideas were thought up by Li Junxi, and the final ratings also proved that every time Li Junxi made a shot, it meant that the ratings skyrocketed.

Liu Zaishi naturally heard Jiang Hudong say that just now Li Junxi criticized "Unreasonable Challenge" as useless, obviously, he has his own ideas, and Liu Zaishi is also looking forward to this, as the main MC of the show, of course he is looking forward to the show being able to fight a turnaround, and it also proves that he Liu Zaishi is not outdated.

"Actually, it's not difficult to save this show, it's important to know what the audience really wants to see?"

Liu Zaishi frowned and grabbed his hair, Li Junxi said this is equivalent to not saying it, which makes him even more depressed, but Li Junxi is here to help after all, can he say anything: "Junxi!" Can you be a little more specific! ”

Li Junxi also knew that he had just pretended to be a little too much, and said with a smile: "To be specific, the direction of the challenge, you should challenge what you are not good at, not what you can't complete at all, the goal of the challenge, for example, is anyone good at ballroom dancing among all the MCs?" Is anyone good at singing? Haha brother? No kidding. His reggae style has no market in South Korea at all, or you can set a theme for each episode, or take a scene from a popular movie and TV series, and you can reinterpret it, or set a task, and you have to complete it with your efforts, and invite some guests to come, so that the audience will not be aesthetically fatigued. In Brother Shi, if you say something that will make you unhappy, a group of big men are competing with scalpers like a neurotic on TV, such a show, if you are an audience, will you like it? ”

Yoo Jae-seok had to admit that what Lee Jun-hee said was the truth, and he always felt that there was something wrong before, although the theme of the show was a challenge, but he didn't know what the challenge was at all. Or rather, what is the purpose of each challenge?

Now after Li Junxi's analysis, he finally understands that they have always been amorous. In the eyes of those viewers, they are no different from idiots, and they work hard and painstakingly to make the show effect in every episode. The result is all useless, and people only see a few incompetent men playing tricks on the show.

But even if that's true~~~~~~~~~~

"Yike!!!! Lee Jun Hee! You're ruthless! I'm your brother! Do you need to say it so excessively? ”

Li Junxi shrugged: "In Brother Shi!" No way, that's the truth! ”

Jiang Hudong looked at Liu Zaishi with a depressed expression. However, there was a faint excitement in his eyes, knowing that Liu Zaishi had completely recovered: "Okay! All right! Jun-hee! If you have any other ideas, just say them all! ”

Lee Jun-hee also did not hide his selfishness: "The show will definitely continue to change in the future, and the direction of change is that your challenge is to make the audience have the desire to participate, just like the 'of course' link in "X-Man" before, so that the audience has the idea of participating, do you want the audience to find a scalper, and then compete with the scalper?" ”

Next, Lee Jun-hee said all the ideas that came to mind according to his own ideas, if the person he talked to was Kim Dong-joon, or Kim Tae-ho, Lee Jun-hee might have reservations, after all, the two sides are not very familiar with each other, and there are some things that can be kept and kept for an exchange of interests.

But in the face of Liu Zaishi's words, Li Junxi will not be so realistic, when he just came back from the army and was about to make a comeback, Liu Zaishi gave him a lot of help, this kindness, Li Junxi will never forget jì.

The more Lee Jun-hee talked, the more excited he became, and he didn't know who called, but there were two more people in the private room, one was Kim Dong-joon and the other was Kim Tae-ho.

At first, it was just Lee Jun-hee talking alone, but soon, Kim Tae-ho and Yoo Jae-seok got involved, although Kim Tae-ho was stubborn and self-serving, but he didn't know how to be flexible, and after listening to some of Lee Jun-hee's suggestions, Kim Tae-ho was also greatly inspired.

Although Lee Jun-hee has some opinions that make it difficult for Kim Tae-ho to accept, but if you think about it carefully, it's really like what Lee Jun-hee said, the current "Unreasonable Challenge" is really a lot of problems, and they are all hard injuries.

"That's all I can think of!" Lee Jun-hee said it very casually, maybe he doesn't know now, what kind of ratings miracle he said will create for the Korean variety show industry in the future.

After Lee Jun-hee finished speaking, the private room was quiet, Kim Dong-joon, Kim Tae-ho and Yoo Jae-seok were all digesting the things that Lee Jun-hee had just said, Kang Hu-dong was just sighing in his heart as a bystander, Lee Jun-hee's talent was really amazing.

seems to be a very casual pointer, completely overturning the original program setting of "Unreasonable Challenge", but connecting all the opinions provided by Lee Jun-hee, and then thinking about it carefully, it is obvious that this new program model provided by Lee Jun-hee will definitely be a hundred times more popular than the current program if it can be perfectly implemented.

"Jun-hee! If you're a showmaker, a lot of people are going to lose their jobs! ”

In the end, it was Kim Dong-joon who broke the silence, what he said was from his heart, he originally just hoped that Lee Jun-hee could provide some advice to save "Unreasonable Challenge", a program that made MBC invest a lot, and by the way, he could help his good friend Kim Tae-ho, but he didn't expect Lee Jun-hee not only to provide advice, but also to provide the specific process of the entire show.

Li Junxi just smiled faintly: "Actually, even if I don't say it, there will be people who think of these things and make changes, I'm not being modest when I say this!" ”

He has a few pounds and a few taels, Lee Jun-hee knows very well that in terms of music, he deserves it, and in terms of screenwriting, he also recognizes that he has talent in this area, in the field of variety shows, Lee Jun-hee is just a few ghost ideas, dare to break the convention, really when it comes to talent, he asks himself if he is not as good as Kim Tae-ho, just when he is talking, Kim Tae-ho will occasionally insert a sentence or two, which will always have the finishing touch.

After expressing his gratitude, a thought suddenly popped into Kim Dong-joon's mind: "Jun-hee! Although it would be reckless to say this, I still want to ask, I wonder if you are interested in joining the revamped show? (To be continued......)
