Chapter 31: Trouble
You don't need to beat the drum hard, and it takes a lot less effort to deal with these people.
Sure enough, not only Sung Jung-hyun and Park Tae-jin, but Kang Ho-dong and Kim Ji-dong also understood what he meant.
Sung Jun-hyun is reserved for his identity, and Park Tae-jin made a statement on behalf of the two. This is also the official attitude of SBS, from which it can be seen that SBS attaches great importance to this cooperation with A.P.
Jiang Hudong and Kim Jidong were shocked by Cui Zhengyuan's strength, and at the same time envied Liu Zaishi for being able to find such a strong and short-term backer.
They are all friends who have been friends with Yoo Jae-seok for many years, and they have long learned about the situation of A.P Company from him. If they were glad that their friends could get such a generous contract before, now they are simply naked jealous. Their contract is due to expire in May next year, and the brokerage has been asking for a renewal, and they have no choice but to compromise with the company.
Who knew that at this time, Liu Zaishi joined a powerful large company, not to mention, the contract terms were so generous that people were maddened, which made their originally stable minds shaken.
If they were just shaken originally, then today's performance of Cui Zhengyuan has become a straw that crushes the camel. A strong company, a well-served logistics team, excellent treatment conditions, and a boss who can be relied on, no artist can refuse such conditions.
Seeing Choi Jung-won and Sung Jun-hyun and Park Tae-jin pushing the cup to change the lamp, Kang Ho-dong glanced at Kim Ji-dong. Jin Jidong nodded to show that he understood, and quietly pulled Liu Zaishi to a position slightly away from everyone, and talked to him in a low voice.
Jiang Hudong raised his glass and joined the battle group. He has such a big voice and is very good at adjusting the atmosphere, and he suddenly became the focus of everyone. Choi Jung-won, Sung Jung-hyun, Park Tae-jin and Kim Jong-kook frequently raised their glasses under his mobilization. For a while, a few people were drunk and happy.
Choi Jung-won and Sung Jun-hyun, who are usually high-minded, put down their shelves and laughed with everyone. Coupled with Park Tae-jin and Kim Jong-kook on the side, no one noticed Kim Ji-dong and Yoo Jae-seok muttering on the side. At the same time, no one is uninteresting, saying that Cui Zhengyuan is a minor and cannot drink.
After a few glasses of wine, everyone made a temporary truce. Jin Jidong and Liu Zaishi also returned to the wine table, and Jiang Hudong saw Liu Zaishi's knowing eyes, and his heart relaxed slightly. The subordinates kept moving, skillfully sending the grilled haode pork belly to the plates of several people, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, everyone will taste my craftsmanship, but don't say it's not delicious."
It stands to reason that a fat man of more than 200 pounds will only make people feel disgusting. But Jiang Hudong was able to digest this very much, looking at the chubby face pretending to be serious, his small eyes looked at this side intently, his thick lips were tightly pursed, and everyone was paralyzed with laughter all of a sudden.
It took a long time to stop, and the eldest Cheng Junxian nodded at Jiang Hudong and smiled helplessly, "You fat man, it's really, I'm almost angry."
Seeing that he succeeded in amusing everyone, Jiang Hudong became even more energetic, just like a favored child who was reprimanded by an adult, he screamed unwillingly, twisting his fat body while screaming, "Where is it, Minister Cheng, people are like this."
Jiang Hudong's trick just now was just right, but now it's starting to be too much. In an instant, everyone's goosebumps rose, and Park Tae-jin was even more shocked and coughed. Liu Zaishi slapped Jiang Hudong on the back fiercely, "Alas, Brother Hudong, what are you doing here, and you won't let us eat." You can't do it even if you want to save money."
Jin Jidong squinted his eyes and said sarcastically: "Don't look at this fat man who seems to be very bold, in fact, he is the most angry." I ate his flesh today, and he didn't know how to calculate it in his heart."
The ability of these three MC hot fields is invincible in the world, and everyone hasn't eaten anything yet, and their stomachs are already smiling. Sung Junxian was crooked on the couch, rubbing his stomach with one hand, and finally stopped, "Okay, okay, how about we try Hudong's barbecue." After that, he and Park Tae-jin used lettuce leaves to spread the pork belly, garlic, and kelp shreds with sauce, wrapped them, and put them in their mouths. After chewing a few times, both of them stretched out their thumbs and praised Jiang Hudong's craftsmanship.
Sung Jung-hyun and Park Tae-jin both ate, but Choi Jung-won sat there twisting, without his majestic demeanor at all, more like a boy who had just started his first love. Today, these three people are all rare guests, so Jiang Hudong is more attentive. Seeing that Cui Zhengyuan didn't eat, Jiang Hudong couldn't help but be a little worried, thinking that he had some opinion about himself.
"Executive Cui, isn't this meat unappetizing?" Jiang Hudong asked cautiously, completely deprived of his unique loud voice.
In Korea, it is rude not to eat the food that someone brings in person. If two people don't have a holiday, they basically won't do it. Liu Zaishi is also a little worried, on one side is his good friend, and on the other side is his dearest brother and boss. If they really have any grudges, it will be difficult for them to be caught in the middle.
But judging by the way they look, today should be the first time we have met. Thinking of this, Liu Zaishi asked, "What about Zhengyuan, are you uncomfortable?" In his mind, it should be Cui Zhengyuan who is unwell today, otherwise he would not have made such a rude move.
Cui Zhengyuan coughed dryly, "Mr. Jiang Hudong, it's not that your barbecue is bad." Actually, it's my problem." The sound was getting lower and lower, and if it wasn't quiet enough in the room, it would be almost inaudible to others in the back.
Sung Jun-hyun, Park Tae-jin and Kim Je-dong are outsiders and it is difficult for them to express their opinions. Only Kim Jong Kook, the person closest to Cui Jung-won, acted as the spokesperson, "What about Jeong-won, did you catch a cold after staying outside for a long time just now, or let's go to the hospital now." In his mind, it was also Cui Zhengyuan who was sick.
Seeing that everyone's misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, Cui Zhengyuan was afraid that he would have an insoluble knot with Jiang Hudong, so he hurriedly explained: "No, my body is fine." It's just that I can't eat fatty meat, not even a little bit, and I will vomit when I eat it." After saying this, Cui Zhengyuan's face was as red as a persimmon, and he buried his head and had no face to see anyone.
In fact, the problem that he can't eat fatty meat is not unique to this life, but has been passed down from the previous life.
Cui Zhengyuan in his previous life grew up in the countryside when he was a child and was an authentic farmer's child. In the 70s and 80s of the last century, China's rural areas were generally poor and lacked resources. At that time, being able to eat a meal of meat was as happy as the New Year. So whenever there is such an opportunity, Cui Zhengyuan eats Haisai nonsense, and he can't stop until his stomach bursts.
As a result, when he ate meat once, he had already eaten a lot. Because he was reluctant to stop, he sandwiched a big piece of fat.
At that time, there was nothing in his stomach, and he couldn't swallow the fat in his mouth, no matter how much he chewed it. After holding on like this for a while, a disgusting reaction came from his body, and he vomited the meat with a "wow".
Since then, this reaction has come to an air whenever you see fat. In order to accommodate him, every time the family cooks meat, they have to carefully separate the fat and lean meat. Even if there is a little connection, he doesn't eat it.
It's an instinct that's been deeply ingrained in his mind, and it hasn't changed because of his soul crossing. Fortunately, he was born in a wealthy family in this life, and his living conditions are very good. If it is in an ordinary family, with the high consumption level of South Korea, it is a luxury to be able to eat a meal of meat, who cares about his feelings.
Uh, what's going on? Jiang Hudong and others were completely unable to understand Cui Zhengyuan's feelings.
Several people present have worked hard step by step from a poor situation, and their living environment before their careers are very embarrassing. At that time, their food was basically kimchi and white rice, and it was a great deal to be able to eat meat. Even if a few people are okay now, but the eating habits have been formed, I still feel that the pork belly is the best delicacy.
Jiang Hudong scratched his head, his little eyes were full of confusion. Sung Jun-hyun and Park Tae-jin smacked their lips, their eyes full of incredible shock. Sure enough, people born in wealthy families are different, and the pork belly can't be seen. Liu Zaishi hesitated for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "That Zhengyuan, you can't eat fatty meat, this is no different from other meat."
The reason or something, of course Cui Zhengyuan can't say. I had to pretend to be unconscious and poke the plate with chopsticks, with a little grievance in my expression. "I don't know, people in my family, my grandfather, and my father can't eat fatty meat, maybe it's genetic."
There was no way, he had to use his family as a shield. Anyway, Jiang Hudong didn't have a chance to meet the old man and his father, and he was not afraid that the lie would be exposed. Do you want him to say that he is like this because of the fat meat, then he will not be laughed at by these guys for a lifetime. A guy with strong self-esteem like Cui Zhengyuan will not be said to be killed.
Kim Jong Kook was also a little stunned, and said a shocking sentence for a while. "Is there still a Korean can't eat pork belly"?
hahahaha Choi Jung-won's face was flushed, and he looked at Kim Jong Kook aggrievedly, "Brother, how can you say that, if you can't eat pork belly, aren't you Koreans?"
As soon as Kim Jong Guo's words came out, he also felt that something was wrong. hurriedly hugged Cui Zhengyuan, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Hehe, Zhengyuan, it's my brother who said the wrong thing." In order to apologize, brother toasts you to make amends."
Cui Zhengyuan drank the wine in the cup depressedly, looking at the staggered crowd, his teeth grinding. "Ahh
Sometimes, exposing some shortcomings is more conducive to the proximity of people and people. Otherwise, if a person always behaves perfectly, he will only be respected and distant.
Cui Zhengyuan used to be like this, with a good background, strong ability, handsome and talented. So even people like Yoo Jae-seok and Kim Jong-kook who often get along with him, although they admire him very much, they can't have a heart-to-heart with him. Now, when they found that such a powerful executive would have such nonsensical things, they felt that he was kind.
Jiang Hudong hahadaxiao, "I thought everyone was like me and could eat anything." It's that I didn't think it through, so don't mind Executive Cui." After speaking, he quickly ordered the waiter to bring a few plates of beef.
Cui Zhengyuan also knew that the effect of this incident just now would help him get closer to others, so of course he wouldn't care. Waving his hand, he said, "That's it." You are older than Brother Shi, if you don't mind, just call me by my name, how about I call you Brother Hudong"?
Hearing that Cui Zhengyuan took the initiative to get closer, Jiang Hudong was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Then it's decided, you will be my younger brother in the future."
Cui Zhengyuan raised his glass, "Little brother respects Brother Hu Dong for a glass", and saluted Jin Jidong again, "We will be closer in the future, Brother Jidong."
Jiang Hudong and Jin Jidong hurriedly raised their wine glasses in return, and said in unison: "Zhengyuan, good brother." The three of them drank the wine, looked at each other for a moment, and smiled.
Liu Zaishi saw the needle and beckoned everyone to drink together, "In the future, everyone must unite sincerely and strive to make a first-class good program." Speaking of the show, everyone remembered the purpose of this gathering.
At that moment, Park Tae-jin gave Choi Jung-won a detailed briefing on SBS's preparations and consulted him about some of the things he didn't understand.
I have to say that SBS is worthy of being the strongest in the broadcasting industry in terms of entertainment. With just one plan, they have already prepared eight or nine without leaving ten. The general framework of the whole show has come out, even without Cui Zhengyuan's help, it is not difficult to give them a little more time to improve the show.
Choi Jung-won listened attentively to Park Tae-jin's introduction and was deeply moved by the efficiency of SBS, a sophisticated media machine. A.P is a big company, and it needs more run-in if it wants to run like a gear bite like SBS.
As long as there is no lack of motivation, the potential of human beings is truly limitless. Originally, Cui Zhengyuan came up with this plan, which was much more Haode than the early stage of "Xman" in history. As a result, Park Tae-jin, the chief PD, actually added a lot of novel content to it, which made the quality of the entire show a lot better.
Cui Zhengyuan looked at the gushing person in front of him with some surprise, pondering his thoughts.
In normal times, Park Tae-jin belongs to the kind of person who is not good-looking. It's not that he's ugly, but it's a very ordinary appearance that people will forget when they see it. But once it comes to the show, the whole person shines with dazzling brilliance. That kind of talented and wanton appearance instantly covered up everyone's demeanor.
When it comes to the PD of Korean variety shows, the most famous are definitely Kim Tae-ho of "Infinite Challenge" and Lee Myung-han of "Two Days and One Night". Ironically, SBS, as the strongest in variety shows, does not have a well-known program PD.
Even Zhao Xiaozhen, the PD of the later variety show king "runningman", cannot be compared with the first two. It seems that behind the beautiful spotlight, I don't know how many talents have been buried.
Choi Jung-won first affirmed SBS's work, and then explained the positioning of the program and the prediction of the future of the program as his own creator, and answered the questions raised by Park Tae-jin one by one.
Yoo Jae-seok, Kang Ho-dong and Kim Ji-dong, as the three MCs that have been identified, also actively participated in the discussion. From time to time, you can express your opinions on your own ideas and help fill in the gaps.
Sung Jun-hyun sat quietly on the side and didn't say a word. He had been out of work for a long time and could not communicate effectively with these people. He came mainly on behalf of SBS this time, otherwise he would definitely be at a disadvantage in the face of a big boss like Choi Jung-won and as a small PD like Park Tae-jin. Kim Jong Kook was very discerning to accompany him to drink, so as not to make him bored and cold.
During the discussion, Choi Jung-won is also constantly observing the three MCs who will have a huge influence in the Korean entertainment industry in the future.
Although there are high-ranking people like Choi Jung-won and Park Tae-jin, as well as elders like Kang Ho-dong, the center of the whole conversation has unconsciously become dominated by Yoo Jae-seok. This person is born with a super ability to control the field, no matter how complicated the scene is or how strong others are, he has the means to put it into his predetermined track. And even though he is influencing others all the time, he doesn't make people feel pressured. It's like flowing water, gently changing you without realizing it.
Jiang Hudong gags in the conversation to adjust the atmosphere. As soon as the conversation gets heated, he will step in, and a few words can lighten up the atmosphere. Between laughing and scolding, he reveals his thoughts, which can be accepted very happily.
Jin Jidong has very few words, and if others say ten words, he may not even have a single sentence. But once he speaks, he will definitely hit the nail on the head and point to the pros and cons. The momentum is up, the witty words are full of witty words, and the humor is worthy of being a model of conversation MC.
On the whole, among the three people, Liu Zaishi is the most prominent. He's the type that can be tolerated, and no one is out of line with him. It can effectively ensure the normal progress of a program, and can also deal with various unexpected situations. Just look at the ability he showed in "Infinite Challenge" in the face of that group of strange sub-MCs.
In the absence of many scripts, it is also a variety show with the most emergencies. Relying entirely on his own ability, Liu Zaishi can connect all the links very well to ensure that the show is completed with quality and quantity. This strong ability to carry out just reflects his value as a national MC.
Jiang Hudong is a strong type and must be in the center. With his body shape and voice, he is the focus of the camera wherever he is. Other people must do shows around him, and they must have the consciousness of being willing to be a green leaf.
Look at the people who partnered with him later, the funny Shin Jung-hwan, the silly Kim Jong-min, the burdened Cheon Myung-hoon, the good boy Lee Seung-gi, the wild monkey MC Dream, and the dog-legged Lee so-geun. Although these people have their own characteristics, they are not people with too strong desires. None of them have the ability to control the show. Without Jiang Hudong, the Dinghai God Needle, other people's demeanor would not be able to shine at all.
Kim Jidong belongs to the type that is very brilliant just by mouth, but it will be difficult to guide the show independently. However, if you are the second person, you can add a lot of color to the show.
"Star Admiralty" is the most haode example. Although Ji Seok-jin is the main MC, his role is only to ensure the smooth running of the show. If there is no Kim Jidong as a deputy MC, "Star Golden Bell" will be missing a lot of color. Later, after Jin Jidong's accident, the person who replaced him didn't even play half of the effect. zuihou, "Star Admiralty" is declining and has stopped broadcasting.
So although he hasn't been a master MC, he is indeed recognized as one of the three major MCs. In the entertainment industry where strength is respected, this can't be obtained by good popularity alone.
SBS took "xman" very seriously and produced it as a main show. Time is tight, and the task is heavy. As soon as Sung Jun-hyun and Park Tae-jin got the desired result, they took their leave. In this regard, Cui Zhengyuan and they expressed their understanding.
Seeing the two away, Jiang Hudong asked people to clean up again. The rest of these people are relatively close to each other, and they drink and eat very casually.
After eating a little, Jiang Hudong glanced at Liu Zaishi.
Liu Zaishi understood and saw that everyone was almost there. He coughed, attracting Cui Zhengyuan's attention.
