Chapter XXXVII: Two Proposals to Follow
Military service is a hurdle that is almost impossible to get around for male artists in South Korea, and it is also a difficult problem for the executives of all entertainment brokerage companies. The latter spent a lot of resources and effort, and finally cultivated a well-known artist, but before the fruits of victory were harvested, he had to give away all his previous efforts under the weight of the country's righteousness.
And Cui Zhenlong is also unwilling, but what can he do if he is unwilling? This military service system is originally a national policy of South Korea, and to put it bluntly, it is a kind of game rule, and before you have the ability to jump out of this rule, you can only passively adapt to this rule. As for stupid things like trying the law, Cui Zhenlong naturally won't do it, and if he wants to play tricks, he has to play upright, so that people can't grasp any tricks.
But how do you do that?
Cui Zhenlong thought of the reality show "Real Man" in his previous life, when he watched it, he found that although Korean TV did a very good job, it did not give full play to its value in some aspects.
Take the show's first season guests! Among them, Jin Xiulu is the most familiar one to the audience, although he first made his debut as an actor and has participated in many film and television works, most of them have played supporting roles, and what really made him famous in one fell swoop is the show "Birth of the Family", in which he played the variety show images such as "Golden Stepmother" and "Game Demon King" are still very popular, and he can be regarded as the "old man" in the variety show industry.
But apart from Jin Xiulu, what about the other guests? What are the likes of Seo Kyung-seok, Sam/Hammington, Yoo so-young, Son Chun-young, and who knows them? Finally, there was still an idol-Mir (a member of the group MBLAQ) in it, but he hurriedly got off the bus after not appearing in a few episodes.
After that, many guests participated in this show one after another, but most of these people are only second- or third-rate or outdated artists, and they are not so famous. It also has a limited effect on boosting the program's ratings, and it cannot attract more younger generations to sit in front of the screen to watch the program.
Cui Zhenlong feels that this guest problem is actually very easy to solve, and the program team also made the mistake of going dark under the lights, why do you have to choose those artists who have completed military service or have not yet served military service? It is entirely possible to invite those artists who are serving to participate in the recording of the program! Anyway, for the latter, where to serve is practically about the same, to be able to have a channel to promote themselves, to be able to show their faces on TV every week. It's a thousand times better than a two-year window period!
Why do Korean male artists always say that they change color when they talk about military service? It is nothing more than the fear of lack of necessary exposure during the service, resulting in a decrease in popularity and a large loss of fans. But now that there is such an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, why not seize it quickly? Even those popular male artists will be tempted, even if it is free to act, it is estimated that some people will be willing.
It is based on this consideration that Cui Zhenlong took out this idea in advance, and in his vision, the first season of the new "Real Man". It is completely possible to focus on the members of the "Myth", anyway, the time of their enlistment is in order, whoever is in the service period will be a regular guest in the show, and when they officially retire, they will get off the show, and other members will take over, so that by the end of the first season of the show, almost all the members of the "Myth" will return. Military service has almost the same effect on them as if they were non-existent.
……
Choi Jin-hyun looked at the man sitting on the main seat, calmly. The speechless figure who scolded Fang Xuan and refuted everyone else, his eyes couldn't help revealing a trace of envy, and his chest seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't vent. It was the first time he had such a deep desire to be as successful as his big brother. Let more people look at themselves with that kind of looking up. It's like the dinosaur Yeon who always opposes him, if he Choi Jin-hyun becomes the president of C.P.C&G, see if the other party dares to call him Ruffian to his face, when the time comes... Hey, hey, hey~~
Well, Choi Jin-hyun has completely fallen into some kind of fantasy of his own. He didn't even notice that the saliva was dripping, and it wasn't until he was nudged that he came to his senses, "Brother~ The meeting is over?" ”
"Of course!"
"Ahhh~~ Time flies so fast!" Cui Zhenxian sighed with emotion in his mouth, and then he seemed to think of something, so he took the initiative to ask: "Brother, I don't understand why you finally chose to cooperate with MBC TV to shoot this variety show?" Is there any specific reason? ”
Cui Zhenlong looked at this stubborn younger brother in surprise, he didn't expect the latter to suddenly care about this, but since he had already asked, he didn't hesitate to answer, "I will choose MBC, in fact, it is not as difficult as you think, it is just the simplest method of elimination!" … Among the three major television stations, SBS was the first to be excluded, which is not to say that it is inferior to the other two in any way, but SBS is a private television station..."
"Huh?? Why is that? Isn't private TV a good thing? Choi Jin-hyun continued to ask in surprise.
"It's not what you think!" Cui Zhenlong shook his head, "The key to the problem lies in the program "Real Man" itself, you have also read the plan book, you should remember that I emphasized in it that to record this program, you need the cooperation of the military, so compared to the private SBS TV, KBS and MBC with government background are more suitable, which will make us a lot less unnecessary trouble in the process of producing the program!" ”
"As for how to choose between the remaining two TV stations, KBS and MBC, in fact, it is clear at a glance, the former has the variety show "Two Days and One Night", this program has great potential, and it is on the rise, even if we take the program planning of "Real Man" in the past, KBS may not pay attention to it; On the contrary, MBC is different, although they also have the ace variety show "Infinite Challenge", but the ratings and audience of this show have almost stabilized, and it is not so easy to make a big breakthrough. ”
After listening to this explanation, Cui Zhenxian, who was in contact with this aspect of affairs for the first time, thought deeply alone, and Cui Zhenlong didn't bother him, knowing that asking questions and thinking are all good phenomena, at least it shows that Cui Zhenxian is not useless, but he didn't guide him well before, so he went astray, and it's not too late to correct it...
After the meeting, it was almost noon, and Cui Zhenlong directly decided to stay in the company and leave after lunch. In fact, he is not afraid of jokes when he says it, although C.P.C&G has been established for so many years, Cui Zhenlong himself has never come here to eat, and he is also very curious about how the food in his company's canteen is, it will not be worse than S.M's company, right?
When he tasted the first bite, he already had a little bottom in his heart, and it should be said that the food of C.P.C&G was not good in taste, nor was it bad, and it could only be evaluated as average. However, since it is provided free of charge to all employees of the company, including trainees, there are quite a few people who come to eat.
"Zhenlong oppa, it turns out that you also came here to eat!" Park Ji-yeon, who was holding a plate, saw Choi Jin-ryong and the other three at first sight, and after she said hello to a few sisters, she came over slowly.
"Ruffian, sit inside!" Park Ji-yeon habitually instructed Choi Jin-hyun to come.
"There are obviously so many seats around, but they want to come and squeeze together with us" Choi Jin-hyun muttered dissatisfiedly, but her body still obediently gave way in, leaving a person-sized seat for Park Ji-yeon.
Cui Zhenlong was also accustomed to the noisy state of the two of them, so he didn't intervene much, and after he took a sip of soup to himself, he asked: "Yanbao, can you eat enough of the food provided by the company?" ”
"Where's enough? I'm going to have to eat two servings! At the mention of eating, the girl began to gush, "It's the same dish here every time, I'm almost tired of eating!" And there is not much meat, and the taste of the dishes is average! Zhenlong oppa, you are the president, can you talk to the canteen aunt and let her prepare a few more dishes, it's good to have a choice! ”
Before the words fell, Cui Zhenxian on the side began to raise the bar with her, "It's good to eat some, and there are so many requirements!" My brother is so busy, how can he have time to care about this?! ”
"Ah~" finally seized the opportunity to make some small requests to Cui Zhenlong in person, but was inserted horizontally, this time Park Ji-yeon couldn't bear it, and waved it at the culprit Cui Zhenxian is "old fist", and finally "robbed" the pork belly on the latter's plate.
"Hey Yixi ~ Dinosaur Yan, that's my meat!"
"Why are you shouting so loudly?! You eat one less piece of meat and you won't die? How can you be so stingy as a man? (To be continued......)
