Chapter 30: The Recording of the Infinite Challenge

Kim Tae-ho, as an infinitely challenging PD, has been taking over the production of the show for more than three years, and with his status, he has naturally seen too much ugliness and darkness in the entertainment industry. As long as he wants to, there is never a shortage of female artists who sleep with him, which artist doesn't want to be famous and has more appearances. The competition of Korean artists is cruel, a new group every day, a group of newcomers debuts every month, and the acting career is all about beauty and acting skills, and the idols who rely on their beauty to get to the top of the position, especially the actresses, whose artistic life is as fleeting as their youth. If you can't maintain your popularity, you're bound to be eliminated.

It can be said that South Korea's large and small economic companies are inextricably linked with Korean radio and television stations, and the black transactions of power, money, and flesh are indispensable. The interests of the economic company are closely related to the artist's personality, and for the sake of interests, the agency will do everything. Sometimes kidnapping, extortion, threats, violence, and breaking the law are necessary.

However, these things must be unsightly, and these companies are also exposed to the eyes of the public, and their usual actions will also receive some unnecessary attention, which is a big trouble for everything that needs to be controlled by artists. At this time, another social system in this world came into being, which is the underworld.

Looking at every country on the planet, his entertainment industry will have a trace of the underworld, which is most obvious in Hong Kong and Russia, and the Korean entertainment industry naturally has a close connection with the underworld, although the influence on the surface is not very great.

The underworld needs the entertainment industry to launder money for itself, and the entertainment industry needs some black means of the underworld to operate, and even some economic companies are involved in the operation of the underworld. Not only that, some celebrities also have a relationship with the underworld, and often have various transactions with the underworld, at most usury.

Although Kim Tae-ho can't say that he knows the boss of the 'organized violence group', he has also been in contact with it, after all, as the gold medal PD of MBC TV, the three major TV stations in South Korea, his status in the TV station is still quite good, and he has also been in contact with this kind of person. Some of the TV production funds have an unclear relationship with the gangs.

However, he doesn't pay much attention to these things, as long as he does his job well, this kind of thing will naturally be handled by the senior management or person in charge of the TV station. But what he didn't expect was that someone was going to smash his field today.

You must know that the Infinite Challenge is MBC TV's signature variety show, and since this group of people dare to make trouble, it can be seen that the contradiction of the matter is a little radical. As for calling the police? Hum! That's completely useless, because this group of 'organized violent groups' is already very shrewd, and they find some gangsters, although they don't beat people with knives and sticks, but they often make some harassing means to record and shoot programs. It's all painless harassment, such as deliberately interrupting the recording screen of the show when recording the show, occupying the recording venue and not leaving, destroying some recording props and other trivial matters.

It is useless to call the police, so generally, when some programs are recorded, they will greet the 'organized violence groups' in various regions and territories early to get their protection.

"Kim PD, what's going on?" Yoo Jae-seok walked into a work tent and came to Kim Tae-ho's side, looking strangely at a few young gangsters not far away, some staff members were arguing with them about something.

Kim Tae-ho rubbed his head with a headache, "Brother Shi, you came so early, it's nothing, it's just that a few thugs deliberately accidentally broke one of our cameras, we have already driven it once before, but I didn't expect them to change a few more people." ”

When Liu Zaishi heard this reason, he was also stunned for a while. His attitude towards work is indeed very serious, he often arrives early when recording the show, and sometimes chats with the PDs about the filming content of the show, which is one of the reasons why he is also very popular with all producers and PDs in the circle.

"Then will this affect the filming of our show?" Liu Zaishi said worriedly. "Isn't this kind of thing usually discussed with these local organizations..."Liu Zaishi has also heard about this aspect of things, but his image has always been very good, and he doesn't come into contact with this kind of thing.

"I don't know very well, the other party seems to be one of the three major gangs in Seoul, the 'Southern Dong faction', I don't know what's going on, I'm also having a headache, I've asked Ji PD to call back to the TV station to ask."

As he spoke, it happened that Ji Yingcai PD put away the phone and walked in, and Liu Zaishi hurriedly greeted him with each other.

Ji Yingcai said with a sad face: "I have asked clearly, it seems that there is a TV series on our TV station that is invested and filmed in cooperation with this 'Southern Cave School', it seems that because of the disputes over the selection and profit sharing of some actors, the 'Southern Cave School' wants to put some pressure on the TV station and harass the filming process of some of our TV stations." They're already negotiating, but it should take some time. ”

"What? How long will it take, then how will we record this episode of the program, this is the concert scene of the song festival, it will start at noon, and some people already know. Liu Zaishi said in astonishment.

Ji Yingcai also had a headache. "I know this, but we can't get rid of these people at the moment."

"Then call the police and let the police arrest them all."

Kim Tae-ho shook his head at Yoo Jae-seok, "You can't call the police, this is a contradiction between other departments of the TV station and it, we just happened to run into it, if we report to the police, it will become a contradiction between our program team and them, and it will be a big trouble at that time." ”

"What can I do?" Liu Zaishi couldn't help but say bitterly. Let him host the show to wake up, and when he encounters this kind of thing, it is not something he can solve.

"It's okay, work is going on as usual, I'm trying to figure it out." Kim Tae-ho said comfortingly, in fact, he has any way, but he is going to take one step at a time, at least first do the preliminary work of the program recording as much as possible.

Ji Yingcai and Liu Zaishi had no choice but to nod, and now they can only do this first.

At about half past nine, the hosts of the infinite challenge and everyone invited the star artists for this episode of the song festival show also arrived one after another.

Chen Zaitian followed Jessica to the tent where the program team was preparing for the artist, and on the way here, he especially looked at the other place in the backstage tent where the show lived, as if something was happening, and there were some unusual people and actions.

Yoo Jae-seok, Park Myung-so and others are already waiting for the artists here. After all, Park Myung-so also has some qualifications, and he has heard a little about these things, so Liu Zaishi told him about his current situation in private just now. Don't look at Park Myung-so's usual appearance as a strong and big brother on the show, but if you want to really let him encounter this kind of thing, he is still a little afraid.

"Hello in Ishioppa!"

"Hello Mingxiu oppa!"

"Hello, senior!"

Jessica came to the artist's waiting tent and bowed to Yoo Jae-seok, Park Myung-so and others from a distance. Chen Zaitian also politely greeted some staff and seniors around him.

"Yikes! Here comes Jessica. Wow, that's beautiful. Although there are a lot of worries in his heart, Liu Zaishi is still very attentive and serious in his work. When I saw Jessica, I immediately greeted him very enthusiastically, in fact, not only Jessica, he was treating all artists with such care and enthusiasm, so everyone liked him very much. Liu Zaishi's reputation in the entertainment industry is indeed very good.

And the members of each group are also using the last time to practice desperately, although some people also saw something not quite right in the program team when they came, as if someone was making trouble, but the program team did not have any news, and they had to try their best to do their job well.

After preparing for a long time, it is the time of rehearsal, and it is the time when all the performance teams have rehearsal before the performance.

Although there were some small problems and small troubles at the beginning, it seems that those gang gangsters have withdrawn and have not harassed the work of the program team anymore, so I can't help but let Kim Tae-ho and other PDs breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise I really don't know what to do.

The communication and recording of the artists does not matter to Chen Zaitian, the agents or assistants who accompany the artists, they are also honestly standing by a rest tent next to the artists, watching and taking care of the artists at any time.

The rehearsal began, and one team after another went up. Chen Zaitian looked at these variety show stars with interest, these artists are more funny and funny, and the atmosphere of entertainment and play is a little more. Listening to the songs rehearsed by some of them, Chen Zaitian wanted to laugh a little, not because of the song itself, but because of the joy of infinitely challenging the members' singing.

At this time, it was Jessica's turn to rehearse with Park Myung-so, Jessica's beautiful performance and singing were naturally good, but Park Myung-so was different, the dance was completely unable to keep up with the rhythm of the music, not to mention the level of singing.

However, just as the two of them were about to finish the rehearsal, a few young people came from not far from the stage and walked straight in the direction of the stage. Some of the staff of the program team found them and immediately went forward to stop them.

"What are you doing! Is this your house, why don't you let us in? A few thugs shouted and screamed. yes, is there a rule in this park that doesn't let us in? ”

Of course, this kind of problem is not a problem, no matter what MBC filming or TV station program shooting and recording, it will definitely go through the government or urban management order, they are completely physical trouble, and they have nothing to do.

Chen Jae-cheon, who had been following Jessica below, immediately discovered the situation and ran to the stage first with Park Myung-so's agent, while Kim Tae-ho had to put down his work and walk forward. If it is not solved, they will have a big trouble recording the show this time.
