"By the way, let me ask you something, MBC will organize an event of the 'Idol Star Games' in a while, have you received an invitation to this trip?" Now it's a small talk in private, and it's naturally very casual to ask. Thinking of it, Li Jingyuan asked in one sentence.

"Idol Star Games? I know that it's the show that many people participate in~! Xiao Jing reacted first, in fact, she was also the only one among these girls who had participated in the first two 'sports meetings'.

……………………………………………………………….

The so-called 'Idol Star Games' is a large-scale sports competition between idol artists hosted by MBC. If you want to participate in this event, you must have the identity of an 'idol' as a premise. Of course, this is not to say that there are no artists from other fields at all, but compared to the 'idols' who are the contestants, the number of artists from other fields is only two or three at most. Moreover, their role in the sports meeting is not to be 'athletes', but to act as a foil, and to enliven the atmosphere of the scene with funny performances during the event.

Since its launch, the event has been loved by many audiences. After all, so many idols gathered together to compete for athletic abilities that they had never shown in front of others, rather than competing for various professional skills as artists, which brought a lot of novelty to the audience. Moreover, to be able to become an idol, it is naturally not too bad in appearance. Seeing so many handsome men and beautiful women gathered together, who wouldn't like it?

But then again, there are people who like it. There are people who don't like it. Among all the people who expressed negative opinions, there was a large group of people who had the exact same reason - 'Since it is an idol star sports meeting, why don't those top idols participate?' ’

In the time and space before Li Jingyuan traveled through, there was this problem.

The first time in history was in the fall of 2010 when 130 people participated in the Games. However, among these 130 people. But no team of idols can be regarded as the top.

Girls' Generation, Kara, TVXQ, and Bigbang, who had become top groups in 2010, did not participate in this Games. T-ara, MissA, and 2PM did send members to participate, but strictly speaking, at that time in 2010. These groups are just newcomers who have just debuted for a long time, no matter how smooth their debut is, no matter how high the topicality is in a short period of time, they still lack some background. It's not the top idol group.

A similar situation continued in the subsequent Games. Needless to say, Girls' Generation and other combinations. Even the groups such as Tara and MissA who participated in the first sports meeting gradually stopped participating in the sports meeting after becoming the top groups.

'The top teams don't come to the games', after a few sports meetings, this sentence has almost become a well-known convention.

And in the time and space where Li Jingyuan is now, the 'Idol Games' is also facing the same dilemma. It is precisely in order to cope with this problem that the MBC has made some changes to the preparation plan for the Games.

First of all, the time of the Games was changed.

In the original plan, the Games were to be held twice a year. It is held during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival. It's also very simple in nature.,It's just a special feature that was made to fight the ratings of the other two TV stations at these two times.。

But. After a few real hands, MBC's executives found a very embarrassing problem. The ratings for the Games were not as high as they had hoped, to the point where they could overpower the other two rivals.

So, what is this because of? After analyzing it, MBC's writers and PDs found out why.

As we all know, the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are the busiest times for artists, and idol artists are no exception. After too many trips, the artist's body will naturally not be kept in the best condition, and in this case, if you invite them again, the result can be imagined.

Either you weigh the gains and losses, and feel that it is better to participate in the sports meeting than to focus on other itineraries, such as Girls' Generation and other top combinations; Either that, they dragged their tired bodies to the event, but they didn't have any great performances.

Either there are no people worth paying attention to, or there are no scenes worth paying attention to on the sports field, because of these two reasons, there are still quite a few people who think that the sports meeting is not interesting. However, the broadcast time of the games is in the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, and the other two TV stations still have programs to watch in the same time period.

Once the reason is analyzed, we must find a way to solve the problem. After some consideration, MBC's planning team came up with a plan - no longer to make the Games a holiday special, but to make the Games itself a festival.

It is still in spring and autumn, but it no longer chooses the busiest time for artists to hold it, but moves the date forward or a little later, and finds a time period when artists have fewer schedules. In this way, the artists participating in the sports meeting will have more energy, and more artists will have time to participate in the sports meeting.

In addition to a slight change in timing, there were also some changes to the events in the Games.

In the beginning, that is, the first Games, there were only men's and women's track and field 100m, men's and women's track and field 110 hurdles, men's and women's javelin, men's long jump, women's high jump, and men's and women's 4X100m relay.

Although more than 100 people participated, the competition was too poor, which greatly limited the excitement of the competition.

And. is also because there are too few competitions, which leads to many idols who can't really perform in the sports meeting and show their strongest side. The reason for this is simple – not everyone is good at athletics. Some people may be good swimmers. Some people may be good at playing the ball, but in short, if you just have a track and field event, the sports meeting is really not very good.

In order to make up for this shortcoming, MBC has made changes. Thinking that the proposal of 'holding an idol sports meeting' was originally put forward by Li Jingyuan, they consulted Li Jingyuan's opinion.

Indoor football, swimming, archery, these are a few sports that will appear one after another in the original history. And outside of these projects. Li Jingyuan proposed some more projects according to his own ideas.

For example, ice events. At first, in order to support Kim Yuna and other figure skaters. Li Jingyuan invested in an ice project training base. At this time, that base could come in handy. Short track speed skating, curling, you can all put it here.

Another example is dodgeball, which is more fun than competitive, baseball, which is loved by Koreans, wrestling that is not an international competition, and even more. Li Jingyuan also proposed billiards, darts, badminton and other projects.

Although the latter projects may sound a bit outrageous. However, if you think about it carefully, these projects proposed by Li Jingyuan later have a common standard, that is, the threshold for entry is not high, and the demand for venues is not strict, which is very suitable for promotion as a popular sport.

Li Jingyuan did not simply find it interesting to put forward these suggestions, but worked hard for the goal of 'making the sports meeting itself a show'.

Maybe because they saw the wonderful performance of their idols at the sports meeting, fans will follow the same sports in private? in other countries. Maybe the artist doesn't have such a big driving force, but in South Korea. This is very likely to happen.

If the influence is great, maybe the government will give a commendation or something. This is also precedent, for example, the program "Youth Undefeated" has been officially commended by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of South Korea for promoting local agriculture. From this point of view, if the 'Idol Games' is held well, it is not impossible to get a commendation from the Ministry of Sports.

If there is an official commendation, MBC will be more self-sacrificing and make the champion's gold medal a real gold, will it be possible to make the sports club more attractive to idols?

The more idols come, the more exciting the games will be; The more exciting the Games, the greater the impact it will have in all aspects; The more influential it is, the more it will attract idols to participate. In this way, the Games will enter a cycle of conscience, and after a long time, it is not impossible to become a recognized festival in the entertainment industry.

Some people may say, Li Jingyuan, you are a gold medalist in the world, do you want to go to the idol games to compete with those idols? If you go, aren't you a bully? If you don't go, then why are you so active and working so hard to consider the details for MBC?

At the end of the day, the reason is simple. I won't say what it was in the original history, but in the current time and space, the concept of "Idol Star Games" was first proposed by Li Jingyuan, from a certain point of view, this activity is the same as "Family Birth", "RunningMan", "Two Days and One Night", "Infinite Challenge", and "Youth Undefeated", which is also like a child in Li Jingyuan's heart.

The end of "The Birth of a Family" and "Undefeated Youth" is inevitable, and Li Jingyuan will not force change. However, the situation of "Idol Star Games" is different, now is the period of vigorous development, from Li Jingyuan's point of view, isn't it a matter of course to reach out and help? Besides, it's just an idea, and by the way, it's just a bit of a venue, and it's really not a big deal.

………………………………………………………….

"Well, that's it, did you get an invitation to the trip?" Now that he had spoken, Li Jingyuan had some thoughts in his heart, and after nodding, he asked the other girls again.

"Two days ago, the agent OPPA seems to have mentioned ......." Park Ji-yeon didn't know when she opened a bag of snacks, and while throwing a piece into her mouth, she said a little vaguely: "I forgot the specifics, you can ask Sister Hyomin~." ”

"Just know how to eat~." After giving Park Ji-yeon a blank look, Lee Kyung-won turned his gaze to Hyo-min. Then I saw the girl put on a memory expression, and after a few seconds she clapped her hands and said, "I remember, the economic man OPPA did say it." He also said that this time the sports meeting seemed to be different, as if there was swimming. ”

"Then do you want to participate~?" Xiaomin talked for a long time, but he didn't get to the point, and Li Jingyuan couldn't help but have a few black lines on his head.

"The agent OPPA said let's decide for ourselves, we haven't discussed it yet. Swimming, wearing a swimsuit, it's not a trivial matter. As female idols, we can't do it without thinking it through. Under Li Jingyuan's urging, Xiaomin finally gave an answer.

"What's the big deal about swimsuits. You don't have to wear a bikini, isn't there a professional one-piece swimsuit that you can wear, the kind that the Olympic athletes wear? "After figuring out that 'Tara hasn't made a decision yet', Li Jingyuan quietly began to persuade him. To increase the persuasiveness. He also sold the Yuli next to him by the way: "I don't dare to guarantee others." However, Girls' Generation and FX will definitely participate in this sports meeting. Aren't you a big swimmer? Why don't you go to the swimming competition this time? ”

"Huh? Let me go? I never thought that Li Jingyuan would suddenly say such a sentence, and Yu Li couldn't help but show a big surprised expression.

"Why are you glaring at me like this~,yah~! Can you change your expression, do you think I want to see you in a swimsuit? ”

"Isn't it?" Without Yu Li to speak, the little crystal on the side interjected first. and people to raise the bar, especially with Li Jingyuan. It's one of this girl's favorite hobbies.

"Cut, haven't I seen you in swimsuits before? Don't forget. I've taken you to the sea many times. ”

"OPPA, do you mean that there are too many times and you are tired of watching them?"

"No~~."

"Oh~~! I don't get tired of watching it~! ”

"It's not~!"

"It's just that I've seen too much and I'm tired of seeing it."

Unconsciously, Li Jingyuan fell into the pit dug by the little crystal, and nothing was right anyway.

In terms of the ability to mess around, Li Jingyuan is by no means the opponent of Little Crystal. understands this very well, so as soon as he saw Xiao Jingjing smile as a 'little devil', Li Jingyuan immediately chose to retreat in a knowing way. Instead of continuing to raise the bar with the little crystal, he turned his head to the other side and asked Gu Hara, "Hara, where are you Kara?" Have you received an invitation and should you attend? ”

"We? I don't know what to say, why don't I call my agent OPPA now? Compared to Tara's two, Goo Hara and Nicole were even more confused, and they didn't remember the news related to this incident for a while. Scratching the back of her head, the girl took out the phone and dialed the agent's number directly.

Kara's agent replied that 'I have received an invitation, but I am still considering it, and I will not participate'.

"Let me have a few words with him." Gu He opened the hands-free function, and Li Jingyuan also heard this answer. After thinking about it for a moment, he asked Goo Hara for a phone call and talked to Kara's agent.

The content is nothing more than to persuade Kara's agent team to arrange a little time so that Kara's members can participate in this sports meeting. If it were someone else, Kara's agent team might have to think about it for a while before giving a reply, but since it was Li Jingyuan who spoke, it would be much simpler. That is, in ten minutes, the call came back again, and this time, Kara's agent changed the answer, not only agreed to let Goo Hara go to the event, but even the other four members of Kara were also approved, that is, when the time comes, all Kara members will appear on the sports field.

Now that you've started, there's no need to be polite. After a while, Lee Kyung-won persuaded Hyo-min Ji-yeon and several other Tara members, and then, a phone call was made to Tara's company, and it was quickly finalized that Tara was going to participate in the sports meeting.

"OPPA, are you still on the phone?" When Li Jingyuan put down the phone, Xiao Sun couldn't help but say on the side: "Look, the girl group you contacted just now, shouldn't you also contact the men's group?" ”

"That's it, if you don't call the men's group, then I'll tell my sister when I go back, brother-in-law, you're faking the public and private~!" Although he is a little younger, the psychology of wanting to take a few more glances at the handsome guy is no different, and after hearing Xiao Sun's words, Xiao Jing also echoed on the side. Even, in order to get Li Jingyuan to call quickly, she also resorted to threatening tricks.

"Okay, okay, just you have a lot of things, I'll fight, I'll fight." With this idea in mind, and in order to plug Xiao Jingjing's mouth, Lee Kyung-won picked up the phone again and contacted JYP and YG respectively to finalize the itinerary of the three groups of 2PM, 2AM and Bigbang. Of course, needless to say, TVXQ, SJ, and Shinee under S.m, Li Jingyuan can make his own decisions. (To be continued......)
