Chapter 61: Xman (4)
With the beginning of Park Myung-so, and achieved good results, it also won the approval of PD. Others also let go, no longer worrying about the faces of the TV station and the production team, and showed their artistic abilities to the fullest.
Shin Jung-hwan seized the opportunity, "Can you let us have lunch first, and when we finish eating, we will probably be able to enter." Well, it's only nine o'clock in the morning, and he's talking about lunch. However, as the boss of the ratings miracle "Shen Qianzhong", the performance of "Oh Oh Chicken" is perfect. Even Park Tae-jin and Lee Ho-woo gave thumbs up and praised.
Led by Shin Zhenghuan, coupled with the bitter complaints of others, it constitutes an excellent picture of guest grievances. The momentum coming from behind the curtain wall has the potential to overturn the studio. All kinds of chaotic sounds are combined together, and it is completely the feeling of chickens and dogs jumping after the devil enters the village. Seeing so much fun, Park Tae-jin is happy to see it, so she just needs to continue to monitor.
Cui Zhengyuan is also satisfied with this opening, which can be said to have exceeded his expectations. At the beginning of the first episode of "Xman" in the previous life, except for the three MCs who were more active, the guests standing outside were basically like fools. You basically can't participate in the show, let alone actively seek interaction.
Of course, this also has to do with the composition of the guests. The guests of the first episode of the previous life are Yoon Hyun-jin, Yin Ji-won, Kim Kyung-ho, ANNIE, Kim Jong-min, Tony, Park Ye-jin and Kim C. Among them, Yin Zhiyuan, Kim Jongmin, and Tony are idols, and Kim C and Kim Kyung-ho are powerful singers. Park Ye-jin is a newly debuted actor, and Yoon Hyun-jin is an SBS anchor. As for Annie, Choi Jung-won has no impression. It is estimated that he disappeared after playing soy sauce in the highly competitive Korean entertainment industry.
Look at these people, Yin Zhiyuan and Tony are still wearing the halo of HOT and Crystal Boy, they always need to pay attention to their image, and they can't get rid of the burden of idols for the time being. Kim Jong-min's comedy belongs to his true colors, and he needs someone to guide him. Kim Kyung-ho and Kim C are clumsy in words on that kind of stuffy character.
Park Ye-jin and Annie, two female artists, especially Park Ye-jin, who is an actress, can't let go of her body now, and she is far from the "murderous Ye-jin" in "The Birth of a Family" later.
An anchor like Yin Hyun-jin, if you call her a serious broadcast news, she will catch her without much effort. But participating in variety shows, limited by identity, it is impossible to devote all oneself to it. If it weren't for the pink interaction with Liu Zaishi, maybe in the first episode of the show, she would be no different from the audience.
The current "Xman" is different, not only are there funny masters like Park Myung-so and Shin Jung-hwan, but everyone else is also an artist who has debuted for many years. Not to mention anything else, at least there is no problem of stage fright, as long as the MC drops a topic a little, they can let go of the catch. That's why this opening is so exciting.
Yoo Jae-seok gave a timely theme, "I would like to invite the first challengers of "Xman", the best TopStar in the Republic of Korea, to appear."
With the applause of the three MCs and the melodic music, the guests walked out of the door on the curtain wall one by one and stood on both sides of the MC. They didn't just stand still, but under the leadership of Liu Zaishi, they writhed and danced slightly.
After doing this segment, Park Tae-jin shouted to stop, everyone rested for half an hour, recovered their strength a little, and then filmed the next part.
Yoo Jae-seok, Kang Ho-dong, Kim Ji-dong and Park Myung-so, Shin Jeong-hwan and others, who were in charge of the funny, couldn't take a break, and all gathered here to check the effect just now. While watching, I also have a meeting with PD, writers and others to discuss and summarize the gains and losses.
said that he had been dancing for more than an hour, and Liu Zaishi and the three of them were already sweating profusely. Seeing their lips dry and tired, Cui Zhengyuan was very distressed. After getting up and giving up his seat to the eldest Jiang Hudong, he went out to find the company's logistics staff. Let these staff members come in with drinks and hand out a bottle to everyone present, each of them. Liu Zaishi and others will have to work with these people for a long time, and the necessary interpersonal relationships must be good. The three of them are already very tired just doing the show, and these miscellaneous matters need to be handled by Cui Zhengyuan, the executive director.
To do a show, the staff behind the scenes are far more tired than in front of the scenes. If the artists in front of the screen make too many NGs because of mistakes, it will undoubtedly greatly increase their workload. To say that there are no complaints, that is impossible. It's impossible to make up for it, so some small means of making up for it are essential. Don't underestimate the role of a bottle of drink and a little snack, when these people are tired, these things are sent, absolutely heartwarming.
Returning to the monitor, Choi Jung-won pulled Park Myung-so, who was still checking the video, to the crowd at the meeting. "Brother Mingxiu, when you open for a while, your complaints need to be a little more powerful. Don't worry about it, the harder you say, the funnier it gets."
"Really"? Park Myung-so looked at Park Tae-jin, and he needed to confirm that Park Tae-jin and Choi Jung-won were thinking the same thing. If not, he is likely to achieve the opposite effect by messing around like this.
Park Tae-jin agrees with Choi Jung-won's words, "Yes, as long as you don't swear, it doesn't matter if you swear."
A female writer named Li Chengmei, the main writer of "Xman", also agreed: "I'll design some lines now, and after a while, you will look at my cue board."
Lao Pu's wit was praised by others, and it was very beautiful. Lehehe pointed at Liu Zaishi and the others, "Well, you see, it's the PD and the writer who agreed." I'm talking about it in a moment, so don't be angry."
Liu Zaishi and the three of them naturally don't care about these, as funny artists, which one is not often ridiculed or even self-deprecating. For them, it doesn't matter what the cheeks are, it's the right thing to make a good show. Korean artists are the most commendable and very professional.
After the break, the shooting continues. The next content to be recorded is a dance performance, that is, the guests walk on a small round stage in the center of the stage to perform their best or most distinctive dances to show their charm.
It's a good opportunity to get independent shots, and if the dance is new enough or exciting enough, the longer it will be broadcast. The guests, who are already familiar with the process of the show, pretend to be nothing on the surface, but in their minds they are already thinking about the actions they want to show for a while.
Before the dance performance began, the three MCs briefly introduced the guests to learn about their latest developments. Twelve guests, each talking for five minutes, adds up to an hour. People like Park Myung-so and Shin Jung-hwan who can do the effect of the show take up a longer time.
When the show was broadcast, this part of the content contained all kinds of revelations and jokes, which was very exciting, which not only made people understand the situation of their favorite stars, but also enjoyed laughing. But when filming, more than half of the time was no different from talk shows.
It's not that Liu Zaishi, Jiang Hudong, and Jin Jidong won't be effective, but the guests won't cooperate. Even HAHA, who is still reserved as a singer, is serious about asking and answering. More serious, less energetic.
Park Tae-jin leaned into Choi Jung-won's ear with palpitations and whispered: "It's good that I listened to your opinion and added Park Myung-so and Shin Jung-hwan, otherwise it would be a high incense burn if it could be broadcast here for five minutes." After speaking, he also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
For the praise of Park Da PD, Choi Jung-won is very useful. If I hadn't watched the opening of the first issue of "Xman" in my previous life, I knew the actual effect, and I discovered the advantages and disadvantages of it. If the program production team is left to find the performers according to their own ideas, they will definitely repeat the mistakes of the past.
As he was talking, Yoo Jae-seok happened to talk about Park Myung-so. Lao Pu, who had been given permission in advance, came up with a bombshell. "Is this show going to end tomorrow, why did you find these three guys to be MC"?
One sentence made Liu Zaishi and the three of them cry and laugh, with a helpless expression, Liu Zaishi asked rhetorically: "Brother, are we not doing well"?
"What's good? An opening did more than an hour, do you know how tired we are? Ah, my legs hurt when I stand up." Park Myung-so glared at a pair of dead fish eyes and roared angrily.
Kim Ji-dong saw the stitches, "Park Myung-so, you're tired, aren't you?"
"Can you stand like a log for more than an hour, and not get tired? Are you knowingly asking"? Park Myung-so's tone rose a little more, and he looked even more angry.
Liu Jae-seok stood up and said, "Park Myung-soxi, we PD said it." Since Park Myung-so is so tired, then there is no need to come back in the future."
Hearing this, Park Myung-so, who was originally imposing, immediately bent down ninety degrees in the direction of the camera obediently, and his tone was very flattering. "I'm sorry, I'll try to do it".
Seeing his best "anxious smile" funny performance, the scene immediately turned into a sea of joy, and even the cameraman was so amused that he couldn't grasp the machine. Fortunately, Cui Zhengyuan, who was sitting in front of the main camera, was quick and held on, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to shoot the front shot of this funny picture.
What he didn't know was that because he reached for his hand when the camera was shaking, the camera caught his hand. This precious picture was noticed by Park Tae-jin during the post-editing. But it was not cut off, but kept intact. Later, this hand also caused a conversation.
Park Myung-so's section is perfect, relying on the three MCs and his on-the-spot performance, and there is no need for reminders from writers on the sidelines. This dialogue was also preserved in its entirety during post-production, and the biggest result was that Park Myung-so, who had been a little stagnant in the entertainment industry since '99, had a second spring, and his popularity began to skyrocket.
Later, I learned that the reason for being able to appear in this show was all due to Choi Jung-won's recommendation. Park Myung-so, who has a cold face and a warm heart, has always been grateful to him in his heart. Through this fate, Park Myung-so became the second member of the Yoo line to become lifelong friends with Choi Jung-won after Yoo Jae-seok.
After everyone talked about it, Yoo Jae-seok directly announced the start of the dance ceremony.
In order to relax the people behind, the first person to appear was Shin Jung-hwan. Shin Jung-hwan, who had been instructed by the PD in advance to make a good start for this link, did not have the slightest reservation. After walking on the small round platform, he directly used the "chicken dance" he carefully prepared. The casually coordinated but hilarious dance moves made the originally nervous guests laugh back and forth. Coupled with Liu Zaishi's guidance of the atmosphere, the scene gradually had a party feeling.
Following Shin Jung-hwan's funny dance, Tony brought a HOT-style candy dance, a cute and dynamic dance move that made everyone in the audience dance along. Seeing that the atmosphere was very good, Park Tae-jin temporarily changed his mind and replaced the next person to Kim Jong Kook.
At this time, Kim Jong Kook had just transitioned from a dance singer to a lyric singer, although the new album brought him super popularity and popularity. But the public's impression of him is still retained in the turbo period, so Kim Jong Kook will not deliberately hide his dancing strength in the show.
In his previous life, in the show, Kim Jong Kook never danced. Once he is allowed to perform on stage, he will sacrifice the "Golden Curator Dance" that makes people cry and laugh. I don't know how much pressure he was under at that time to make such an insistence, just to reverse his original image as a dance singer.
Fortunately, as South Korea's top Dancer, Kim Jong Kook's performance did not disappoint. A period of breaking made Lee Jung-hyun, Yoon Eun-hye, and BADA, the three girls who were originally very quiet, scream. With Tony and Kim Jong Kook's Jewel in front, letting male artists go up will only make the atmosphere drop. Therefore, the person who came on the field became Yoon Eun-hye.
"Girl Hero" was born in an idol group and has outstanding dancing strength. A wave was made, making Liu Zaishi and Jiang Hudong hug each other and howl wolf. With this transition, others can finally show their charm normally. The dances, which were either wonderful or funny or sexy or cute, completely turned the show into a disco atmosphere. zuihou, the showboy HAHA will do the finishing touch.
Originally, the "little ghost" wanted to do a dance that he came up with on the fly, but he had to make a change. Choi Jung-won asked the writer in charge of HAHA to give him a hint to imitate Kim Jong Kook's dance. You know, it's this that made HAHA start to make a name for itself. Shen Qianzhong is not yet formed, and Ha Mingguo can't miss it.
Sure enough, Haha's imitation was amazing, and even the prototype of Kim Jong Kook was a little surprised. When Haha was halfway through the jump, Choi Jung-won gave a hint and asked him to pull Kim Jong Kook and Park Myung-so to jump together. Ha Mingguo danced the classic dance song "Black Cat" on the screen for the first time, officially setting off a ratings frenzy.
After this part of the shooting, the morning part of the shooting is over. At this time, the program team does not provide food, and the participating artists need to solve the problem of eating by themselves. As a result, some of the strangers dispersed. As for people who knew each other like Choi Jung-won and Yoo Jae-seok, they went to the restaurant outside the TV station to dine together.
Lee Jung-hyun wasn't with these people because she had an interview to do in the middle of the two hours.
Cui Zhengyuan specially inquired about the itinerary with her agent, and it turned out that she had no time to rest in the first three months of 2001. There are about three to four trips a day, with a maximum of seven activities a day.
Feeling her hard work, Cui Zhengyuan instructed her agent not to take a job for Li Zhenxian from now on. When she finishes a notice in March, she will be given two weeks off to give her a good rest.
The agent informed Lee Jung-hyun of this decision, which moved the girl, who had just become an adult, and sat alone in the back of the nanny car to secretly wipe away tears. South Korean entertainment companies are eager to use artists like animals, desperately trying to squeeze out their value, where do they care about the feelings of artists. That is, a company like A.P and a general manager like Choi Jung-won, not only think about their lives, but also think about their health.
Although A.P's artists still have a lot of workload, this is determined by the current situation in the Korean entertainment industry. No one can change it. But compared to other companies, they are undoubtedly much happier.
In the afternoon, the shooting continued, so everyone didn't drink, and after hastily eating lunch, they went to find a place to rest. It is expected that today's shooting will last until about 7 p.m., and if you don't save your energy as much as possible, it is estimated that you will not be able to bear it.
Lee Jung-hyun's interview is still far from the Xman studio, and it is estimated that it will take an hour and a half to go back and forth. Thinking that she might not be able to eat in time, Cui Zhengyuan asked the restaurant to pack a package and send it to the studio.
Sure enough, when Li Zhenxian hurried back again. Cui Zhengyuan asked, she just ate a little biscuit in the car and cushioned her stomach a little. Seeing the lunch sent by Choi Jung-won, Lee Jung-hyun didn't know how to thank him. bowed vigorously, and the agent also blamed himself, even saying that he didn't take care of his artist.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Choi Jung-won used the excuse to discuss the show with PD to leave, so that Lee Jung-hyun could eat with peace of mind. For this reason, he also asked Park Tae-jin to extend the rest time.
