Speaking of which, "Challenge a Thousand Songs" has never been the most popular variety show with the most ratings, but it must be the longest-running variety show on SBS TV.

Since the first episode of "Challenging a Thousand Songs" was recorded in 2000, it has been almost eight years of life, and even if it is put into all the existing variety shows in South Korea, its long qualifications are enough to rank in the forefront. No SBS employee, or even any veteran artist, would question this.

Because of their long lifespan, many Korean artists have been invited to participate in this show, especially singers who debuted after 2000, and those who have not appeared in "Challenge a Thousand Songs" are embarrassed to say that they are a singer.

It can be seen from this that the influence of "Challenging a Thousand Songs" is really not small in the entire music industry and entertainment industry, because of this, even if the ratings are dismal now, SBS only moved the idea of revising the entire program, and never had the idea of ending the show.

As the fourth main PD of "Challenge a Thousand Songs", Zhao Xirong is still frowning about today's recording, without him, no matter how hard he and several program writers rack their brains, they can't change the trend of declining ratings of the program, and if it continues like this, the first knife of the program revision will definitely fall on his head.

Looking at most of the smiling guest artists on the stage, and behind them were sleepy participating audiences, Zhao Xirong had to stop helplessly, he knew very well that if he continued to record like this, it would definitely be another boring "Challenge Thousand Songs", and the ratings didn't need to be counted on at all.

Zhao Xirong is very unwilling, the first three PDs have all risen with stable ratings, why can't it be his turn?

To say why. In fact, he himself knows very well that it is not the type of talk show with ever-changing topics. is not a pure song program based on singing skills, but simply wins or loses based on the number of songs that artists are familiar with. This monotonous pattern has lasted for eight years, and anyone will get tired of watching it.

Of course, Zhao Xirong has not thought of ways, such as expanding the scope of guest artists, many funny artists have been included in the guest list, or, inviting as many newcomers as possible to enhance the competitiveness of the game, for the sake of appearance, these newcomers usually show more enthusiasm in the show. Work harder.

However, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the framework of the show is fixed, and it is fixed for eight years, and these small tricks have not brought much help to the ratings.

"Tracy, let's think of a way, even if it is only one episode of ratings that improves, the above will understand our difficulties as appropriate, knowing that we have really tried our best!" Zhao Xirong looked at the only female writer on the scene of "Challenging a Thousand Songs", and her face was full of unwilling depression.

"Zhao PD. I really tried my best, and each round of the game was interspersed with just a few seconds, and neither the MC nor the guests had room to play."

Tracy shook the clipboard in her hand weakly. With the same distressed look, his eyes wandered around aimlessly, and he suddenly looked stunned. As if thinking of something, two rays of light burst out of his eyes in an instant. staring at the nine beautiful and delicate figures on the right side of the stage, he gritted his teeth word by word and said, "Zhao PD." It's the last thing I can think of, it's up to you to dare."

"Is there really a way?" Zhao Xirong suddenly perked up, quickly leaned over, and said with a slightly red face: "As long as you say, I dare!" "It's a matter of the last fight for the future, and he really has the mind to completely open up.

"PD, what is the hottest topic in the entertainment industry right now?" Tracy lowered her voice.

"What?" Zhao Xirong was a little dazed when asked.

Tracy looked mysterious, raised her hand and quietly pointed to the right side of the stage, Zhao Xirong looked at it, and his expression seemed to be a little clear.

"PD, for a while"

Tracy lowered Zhao Xirong's body, biting his ears and quickly teaching the plane, Zhao Xirong's face instantly changed like the weather, and after listening to it, he hesitated for a long time, and whispered: "Will this be taboo?" The relationship between Nie Zirun and our Director Jin is not ordinary! ”

"What are you afraid of, the pink topic is the mainstream of variety shows, and besides, we are not a talk show, so the topic will not go down at all!" Tracy's eyes rolled, and she continued to agitate: "Don't worry, call their agent to negotiate first, and then explain to the MC to pay attention to Zhao PD, or think about our current situation first, right?" ”

The last reminder was like a talisman, Zhao Xirong's face turned pale, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, anyway, the ratings don't improve and it's a dead end in the end, so bet on this!" After saying that, he turned his head and called the field manager: "Go and invite the two MCs and the agent of Girls' Generation!" ”

"Ten more minutes of rest!"

Hearing Zhao Xirong's instructions, the guests and the audience who were about to beat their spirits and prepare to continue recording the show were stunned for a moment, and then they were surprised to turn their heads and ears, and they were careful, and they had noticed that the agent of Girls' Generation and the two MCs were called by PD at the same time, and it was obvious that there was something unexpected in the recording.

The nine girls were also nervous at the moment, Jin Zhuyong was called by the PD at the scene, of course they were the first to notice, and they all realized that the matter was likely to be related to them, and when they were uneasy, they found that Jin Zhuyong in the distance made an "OK" gesture to them, and gave them an encouraging smile, and then settled down a little.

"Pani, are you really alright?"

Taeyeon, who is cautious by nature, touched Pani next to her, and there is still a worry on her face that has not faded, only three months after her debut, she took the lead in repeatedly tasting the disturbances of scandals, just because of the boycott calls issued by many fan associations on the Internet because of the scandal, which has already made her feel pressured as the captain, and now the relationship with Nie Zirun is a hot spot in the entire entertainment industry, and there is really an illusion of rumors.

Pani bent the crescent moon twice, and comforted softly: "It's okay, Zhu Yong oppa said it's okay!" ”

"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've come to "Challenge a Thousand Songs", this time it will be the same!" The usually lively Sunny shrugged Xiao Yao's nose and echoed the lively atmosphere, saying that they were participating in this show for the second time in a month.

A tacit understanding of years together. The rest of the people all noticed Taeyeon's somewhat depressed feelings.

"We didn't do anything wrong!"

Caught off guard, a cold and arrogant voice also sounded. The girls followed the prestige, and it was Zheng Xiuyan, the "ice princess" who was already famous. Originally, she also wanted to comfort Taeyeon, but the tone of her speech had a diametrically opposite effect, and the famous "Sika effect" in the future has begun to take shape.

Xiuying rolled her eyes speechlessly, lowered her voice and muttered, "It's worthy of the future president's wife!" ”

"Domineering!" The mischievous Yuna quickly added.

"Puff~~"

The women gathered around suddenly let out a few teasing chuckles, remembering that they were at the recording site, and they had to restrain their thoughts about playing.

Since Nie Zirun went to Europe, the topic about him has filled almost all the leisure time of the nine people, plus Zheng Xiuyan has not hidden her mind from the beginning. Even Nie Zirun's net worth background was revealed in a "collective forced confession".

Xiao Yuan, who was feeling bored, suddenly wondered: "Do you think there will be oppa songs in the thousand songs?" ”

"There must be, OPPA is the general trend now, and it is a singer who is followed all over the world!" Yun'er didn't want to think about it, because of the female number one in "You Are My Destiny", she is now Nie Zirun's official hardcore, completely unconditional, and has no position to support.

"Sycophants!" Xiuying squinted her eyes and teased with disdain.

"I'm going to sue sùoppa when the recording is over, someone is personally attacking out of jealousy!" Yuna raised her head arrogantly. A pair of large fawn eyes were full of cunning.

"Ah~~" Xiuying suddenly couldn't sit still: "Lin Yun'er, you"

The most taboo thing for Nie Zirun is also the most impressive for them - there is a conflict, and the scene of Nie Zirun's anger when he was a trainee is still fresh in his memory. If they have a conflict because of mutual jealousy of their careers, it will be even more intolerable to him, and he has already said it in front of them more than once.

"He's so easy to be fooled by you?"

Taeyeon is just about to remind you of the occasion. The fluttering sentence beside him instantly stunned the expressions of the two women who were "-for-tat". Pani had a silly smile on her face, as if the words had not come out of her mouth at all. Easily calmed the scene: "Recuperate your spirits, there will be at least two hours of recording in a while!" ”

"I'm still curious!" Xiao Yuan shook his head and continued the topic just now: "If there really is, and it happens to be drawn by us, it will be interesting!" As he spoke, he leaned his shoulder on Yu Li beside him and said, "What do you say?" ”

"Huh?" Yuli looked up blankly, apparently distracted.

"It's over, Yu Li has been getting more and more in a daze recently, why don't you just change your name to Kwon Dudu?" As if he had discovered a new world, Hyo-yeon vigorously changed his nickname for Yoo-ri.

"There's nothing new, beware of oppa asking you for royalties!" Sunny interjected casually.

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Yu Li suddenly looked stunned, and the moment she lowered her head, two shallow blush quietly blurred, and for a while, the two nicknames of Quan Fusan and Kwon were stunned kept echoing in her mind.

Zheng Xiuyan raised her hand and gently hugged Yu Li, and whispered, "Still worried about being drunk that day?" ”

Being in the same bedroom, they will naturally care more about each other, she has long noticed that Yu Li is abnormal, and often deliberately avoids being alone with herself, and there is no phone contact with Nie Zirun, accompanied by often being alone and empty.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zheng Xiuyan could only attribute the reason to the drunken gaffe that night and had an apologetic estrangement, because Yu Li seems to be cheerful and lively, but in fact she is a very calm and cautious person at heart, which is the opposite of herself.

"Sika, I"

"I really don't mind, he doesn't care about the bars and takes a few deep breaths and starts recording!"

Interrupting Yu Li's words, Jung so-yeon pointed to the MC who had already walked on the stage, and affectionately pulled her to their place together. (To be continued......)
