Chapter 210: Kim Dong-joon's Invitation
can't live up to Lee Jun-hee's expectations for them!
Although the girls are not very old, they all understand the truth of this, they are still just preparatory artists who have not officially debuted, and they can have a variety show of their own in MBC, one of the three major TV stations, which is unique in the Korean music industry, and even in the entire entertainment industry.
It is conceivable that in order to convince MBC, Lee Jun-hee must have made some promises, or sacrifices.
Opportunities don't come easily!
The girls know very well that the only thing they can do in this regard is to show themselves well, and after their debut, they will do their best to do their best so as not to disappoint Lee Jun-hee.
When they reappear in the camera lens, the girls seem much more natural, although this naturalness is very much more pretended.
Although before this, the girls have appeared in the MV of nrg songs many times, and have also made guest appearances in "Palace" and "The Little Thing of First Love", and Choi Ji-na has even appeared on the real stage with NRG as Feat, but speaking of which, their experience is really not rich.
Now let them play the leading role of a variety show, which is really embarrassing for them, but this can be regarded as Li Junxi's test for the girls.
After all, after his debut, he had to face the camera lens every day, and if it was not good because of nervousness at that time, it would be the whole team who would be hurt.
"Hello everyone! We are Princess! ”
This is the first time that the girls have officially introduced themselves as princess, and with this imposing self-introduction, the name princess will also accompany them for a lifetime, as Lee Jun-hee often says, for a group of singers, the name of the team is the label of their life.
For the name of this girl group, VJ really has to sigh at the magic of fate, "Princess Diaries". Pirncess, it really felt like it was meant to be.
As for the name "Princess Diaries", it was set by Lee Jun-hee, and the girls happened to give their team the name of pirncess, what else can be said except for the magic of fate?
While Pirncess begins filming for "The Princess Diaries" in their dorm room, Lee Jun-hee is driving to a café in Hongdae.
With the huge success of the NRG in 2005, Lee Jun-hee's fame in South Korea is also rising, and when he goes out, he is becoming more and more obsessed with disguise.
Mysterious and mysterious. Sneaking into a café, before the waiter stepped forward, he had already found his target and walked towards a table in the corner, where there were already two middle-aged people waiting.
Seeing that Li Junxi had arrived, the two of them also hurriedly got up, Li Junxi walked over quickly, and took the initiative to bow and say hello when he was far away: "Section Chief Kim!" Sorry to keep you waiting! ”
The person who asked Lee Jun-hee to meet at this café was Kim Dong-joon, a representative of MBC TV who had gone to the NRG company to negotiate over the broadcast rights of the concert.
Because of the super high ratings achieved in the live NRG concert. Kim Dong-joon is also rising in MBC TV now, although there is no change in his position, but according to internal sources, the former director of the variety show department of MBC TV is about to retire. Kim Dong-joon is a big favorite to sit in that position.
"Director Li is so polite!"
If Lee Jun-hee is just an ordinary artist, Kim Dong-joon naturally doesn't need to be so polite, but Lee Jun-hee is not only an artist, but also the director of NRG now. Naturally, social status is not the same.
The three of them sat down, and Kim Dong-joon first introduced the middle-aged man who came with him today to Lee Jun-hee: "This is Kim Tae-ho PD of MBC TV!" ”
Kim Tae-ho!?
Lee Jun-hee, who has worked hard in the Korean entertainment industry for many years, is also very unfamiliar with the name Kim Tae-ho, but he still got up very politely. Bow and say hello: "Hello! Kim PD, I'm Lee Jun-hee from NRG! ”
Seeing this, Kim Tae-ho couldn't help but be a little flattered, you must know that Lee Jun-hee is now a hot star in the Korean entertainment industry and the director of a very potential company, and he is just a small person who has been stumbling for many years before finally sitting in the PD position of a variety show, and that variety show is still very unsuccessful.
"Hello! Director Lee! ”
Sitting down again, the waiter came over, Li Junxi just ordered a cup of coffee very casually, and Li Junxi was a little dissatisfied with Kim Dongjun's appointment to come out today.
Before for this variety show and Song Qian's debut stage, Li Junxi did make some exchanges with MBC, but he didn't expect that MBC would ask him to cash in so soon, which made Li Junxi feel like he was being collected for debts, and he was inevitably unhappy.
Lee Jun-hee is unhappy, Kim Dong-joon is actually a little embarrassed, in fact, they only confirmed the cooperative relationship yesterday, and today they are going to let Lee Jun-hee start working hard for the ratings of their TV station's variety shows, which is really not suitable.
But there is no way, the previous live broadcast of NRG's concert, although it made MBC raise his eyebrows, but for more than a year, in the variety show market, MBC still has no way to compete with SBS and KBS, even if SBS's "Love Letter" has come to an end, "X-Man" is becoming more and more declining, even if KBS's "NRGHOUSEHOLD" has ended, but MBC is still unable to compete.
Last year, MBC also began to try to make variety shows go from indoor to outdoor, and launched a "Challenge Without Strategy", which can be regarded as the ambition of MBC TV's variety show department, but the ratings are not ideal at all, and more than 20 episodes have been broadcast, and the ratings have never exceeded double digits.
When MBC TV gave the order to end the variety show, Kim Tae-ho, who was sitting next to Kim Dong-joon, stepped forward and persuaded everyone in the variety show department to let him try it.
For a little person who was just a studio assistant at the time, being the PD of a variety show can be called a turning point in his life, and Kim Tae-ho is also out of the way, planning to gamble on his own qiē.
"Unreasonable Challenge" has become "Unreasonable Challenge", and the ratings have indeed risen a little, including one or two episodes, and the ratings have exceeded double digits. But it's a pity that this rating is completely unacceptable for a variety show with a huge investment.
Kim Tae-ho is also under tremendous pressure now, first of all, from the TV station, the two sides agreed that he would only be given half a year, although the deadline for half a year has not yet arrived, but it is clear that the top management of the TV station has lost patience.
It is conceivable that once "Unreasonable Challenge" is taken down. Then what awaits Kim Tae-ho can only be a long cold bench, and maybe there will be no chance to turn over from now on.
Kim Dong-joon, as Kim Tae-ho's good friend, certainly didn't want to see Kim Tae-ho treated coldly, and it happened to be him who communicated with Lee Jun-hee before, so he brought Kim Tae-ho over to try his luck.
For Lee Jun-hee, Kim Dong-joon has almost blind self-confidence, and after the guidance of Lee Jun-hee, a KBS experimental variety show "NRGHOUSEHOLD", he simply participated in the planning directly in the later stage, creating more than 40% of the ratings. Maybe Lee Jun-hee can really have a way to bring "Unreasonable Challenge" back to life.
Originally, a meeting like this should have been on MBC TV, but Kim Tae-ho didn't seem to want his colleagues in the station to know that he and Lee Jun-hee met. I simply made an appointment at the café.
Briefly explained the matter to Li Junxi: "Director Li, I know this will confuse you, but, anyway. Please also help with this, it is not easy for Tae-ho to get this opportunity. ”
From beginning to end, Kim Tae-ho didn't say a word. He is a very proud person, to put it bluntly, he is arrogant, originally, Kim Dongjun brought him to see Lee Junxi, he was reluctant, but in the end he couldn't bear Kim Dongjun's persuasion.
Although he came, Kim Tae-ho had no confidence in whether Lee Jun-hee could help him, the other party was just a young man, although he was a top artist in South Korea and the director of a brokerage company, but after all, he was too young, you know, to do a good variety show, experience is very important.
How did Kim Tae-ho know that although Lee Jun-hee is only 24 years old, the things he has experienced in his life are no less than him.
After listening to Kim Dong-joon's description, Lee Jun-hee is really a little difficult, the key is that he hasn't watched this "Unreasonable Challenge" at all, he doesn't know anything about it, how can he prescribe the right medicine and rejuvenate him!
"What is the theme of this show?"
Without waiting for Kim Dong-joon to speak, Kim Tae-ho hurriedly replied: "The theme is to let the host team of the show challenge all impossible tasks, such as letting them race with trains, tug-of-war with scalpers, and ~~~~~~"
Kim Tae-ho gushed endlessly, and Lee Jun-hee was in a cold sweat, your sister, according to Kim Tae-ho's tossing method, if this show can be popular, then it is called unreasonable.
It's enough to challenge the impossible, but also challenge the train, challenge the scalper, why don't you let the host challenge the limits of human beings, jump off the building, and see if he can live.
However, although the setting of the show is disturbing, after all, it has a group of well-known funny artists such as National MC Yoo Jae-seok, Park Myung-so, Haha, etc., and the ratings will not be so bleak!
Lee Jun-hee made up his mind, and after he went back, he must find two issues on the Internet to see what the problem is.
The more Kim Tae-ho talked, the more interested he became, after all, this is his job, but it was his fault to completely ignore the feelings of others.
Kim Dong-joon also saw that Lee Jun-hee's face was a little impatient, and hurriedly touched Kim Tae-ho, so that this good relative could stop quickly: "That ~~~~~~ Jun-hee!" Director Li doesn't mind if I call you by your name! ”
Lee Jun-hee was rescued by Kim Dong-joon, and he was grateful, and nodded with a smile: "Of course, in this case, I will also call you Brother Dong-joon!" ”
changed the title, and Kim Dongjun also felt that the relationship between the two people was a little closer again: "Look, is there any salvation in this show?" ”
"What does it mean to be saved? As long as those people in the station are willing to give me time, I will definitely make this show a national variety show, I have this confidence! ”
I have the confidence to have an egg!
When he took the initiative to ask Ying, Kim Tae-ho said the same thing, but what was the result?
Confidence and momentum are of course good things, but the problem is that there must be good ratings to prove it!
"Jun-hee! You see, what else needs to be changed in this show? ”
Kim Dong-joon didn't expect Lee Jun-hee to really come up with a few golden ideas. turned this half-dead variety show into a real national variety show all of a sudden.
But at least Kim Dong-joon also hopes that Lee Jun-hee can help and keep this show going, even if he can't change the fate of being cut in the future, he won't let Kim Tae-ho be the scapegoat, to put it bluntly, it's how to change it, so that Kim Tae-ho can be a little more decent when he gets out of class.
"Brother Dongjun! I haven't watched the show, and I can't say anything right now, so be it. I'll watch a couple of issues when I get back, and then we'll talk about it! ”
Kim Dong-joon also knew that he was a little anxious, and nodded: "That's fine, anyway, please Jun-hee!" ”
Then they chatted for a while, and the three of them had something on their minds, so they separated.
Back in the new dormitory, Li Junxi originally wanted to go to see Song Qian and them, but they were on the way to see them. Lee Jun-hee already knows the names the girls have given their combinations.
pirncess!
It's a little ordinary, but it's also very suitable, princess! If you look at it alone, every member of Pirncess can blow up a bunch of seniors in the music industry.
Enter the house. turned on the computer, searched for this "Unreasonable Challenge", and after patiently watching two episodes, Lee Jun-hee found that there was a problem with this show.
Although it is known as an outdoor variety show. But in fact, "Unreasonable Challenge" still hasn't really left the studio, and one of the two episodes he watched was indoors from beginning to end. is almost in the mode of an interview from beginning to end, although Liu Zaishi works hard, several funny artists also keep breaking the news, and the scene is constantly hilarious, but no matter how you look at it, it gives people a feeling of acting.
There is also an issue, which is a tug-of-war with scalpers, which has been filmed in the stadium, and the process is even more speechless to what time it is, exercise, exercise, and then compete, lose, the show ends, and the host group accepts punishment.
In the two episodes of the show, Li Junxi was stunned and didn't understand what they were going to do, if such a variety show could be popular, it would be a big strange thing.
Lee Jun-hee wanted to tell Kim Dong-joon that he couldn't do anything, but he was embarrassed, after all, the two sides had a verbal agreement before, and Kim Dong-joon asked for help, if he didn't help, it was really a bit unreasonable.
Now the question is which way to start!?
Li Junxi watched two more episodes with his temperament, and he also didn't know what to say, with such a luxurious hosting team, it was really a waste to create such low ratings.
Yoo Jae-seok, Park Myung-so, Jung Jun-ha, Roh Hong-chul, Haha, Jung Hyung-don, this combination is no problem, although the appearance is so low that it is off the charts.
Liu Jae-seok is a national mc, one of the three major mountains in the hosting industry, the first in Korea for the control of the rhythm of the show, Park Myung-so, a famous funny artist, although a little ugly, but he created zào's roaring funny, very popular, Jung Jun-ha, actor-born, but looking at his face, he can make people laugh out loud, Lu Hongzhe, is a new member of Gagman, but the funny is also very distinctive, haha needless to say, he has cooperated with Lee Jun-hee many times in "X-Man" before, Although he hasn't formed his own funny style yet, he has a lot of potential, Jung Hyung-don and Lee Jun-hee are not familiar with it, but the host team has such a guy who doesn't talk much and looks like he's making up the numbers, but he works very hard, which is also very good.
Such a team can't even become popular, and that can only be said to be the reason for the show itself.
Lee Jun-hee was thinking about how to operate on this show when the phone rang.
It's Song Qian!
"Brother! Did you go back to the company? ”
Li Junxi was stunned for a moment, and there was some chaos on the other side: "I'm back, where are you?" ”
Song Qian smiled: "I'm eating barbecue, brother!" Are you coming over? ”
Li Junxi was helpless, although he also knew that a few girls were definitely going to celebrate tonight, celebrating their upcoming debut, but he didn't expect that their celebration was not over yet.
Originally, he didn't want to go, but after thinking about it, he couldn't hold back his attention at home, and it was so late, Song Qian and the others came back by themselves, and he didn't feel at ease.
"Send me the address and I'll be there soon!"
hung up the phone, and after a while, the text message came, and it was Jiang Hudong's barbecue restaurant again.
It seems to be going to become a stronghold for Korean artists.
After changing his clothes, he went out to get in the car, and soon arrived at the door of the barbecue restaurant, and was about to go in, when suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Li Junxi was shocked, although he knew that there would be no danger, but if he was recognized by fans on the street, he was afraid that he would not be pleased, and some Korean fans were very crazy, if they were blocked on the street, it was estimated that they would not be able to get out for a while.
Turning his head, Li Junxi was immediately relieved: "Brother Shi!" Brother Hudong! What a coincidence! ”
It was Jiang Hudong who just patted Li Junxi on the shoulder: "What a coincidence!" This is my shop, Jun-hee! You're ~~~~~~~~ alone!? ”
Li Junxi shook his head: "I'm here to pick up my sister!" ”
Many people in South Korea know that Lee Jun-hee has a Chinese cousin.
"Come to pick up people, that means there's nothing to do, I'll ask the driver to send your sister back later, come and have a drink with me and Zaishi, this guy has been in a very bad mood lately, just let you relieve him."
When Li Junxi heard this, he noticed that Liu Zaishi's face was very bad. (To be continued......)
