The "Xman" plan given by Choi Jung-won made SBS TV see the possibility of becoming the overlord of Korean variety shows. Therefore, for the start of filming of this program, the TV station has paid considerable attention and investment to ensure the smooth completion of the program.

When he arrived at the studio, he found that Li Haoyu and several cadres of the Arts and Culture Bureau had already arrived at the scene, including a deputy director. With such a luxurious lineup, even the production of SBS's annual drama is impossible, which shows the attention of TV stations.

Seeing him come in, Li Haoyu hurriedly greeted him and introduced everyone to him. After returning the salute one by one, everyone dispersed, and Li Haoyu accompanied Cui Zhengyuan to the rest area. "I said you kid can still sleep peacefully, aren't you worried at all? Look at my brother and me, I'm about to become pandas." Comparing the dark circles under his eyes, Li Haoyu exaggeratedly described.

Cui Zhengyuan complained: "What do I have to worry about, it's your TV station's business to lose money and make money, what does it have to do with me"?

"Alas, you kid pretending to be stupid, aren't you"? Li Haoyu was unhappy, staring at the beads of his eyes with an angry expression. "Co-author, those MCs are not from your company, I don't believe you don't want them to be famous"?

Ignoring his rebuttal, Cui Zhengyuan asked, "How's the preparation here?" Are they all in place? All the invited guests have arrived"?

Li Haoyu raised his hand and swept the entire studio, pointing to the busy staff. said proudly: "You don't look at it, even our deputy director is here today, and I, the director of the Arts Bureau, are here to command, who dares to be passive and sabotage?" Unless those celebrities don't want to mix, which one dares to be late"?

What he said is very reasonable, with such a big battle today, no artist dares to touch the tiger's whiskers, and he has already obediently rushed over to wait for the scene. Besides, those artists are all human spirits, just looking at this jiashi, you know that SBS is not small. Being able to get involved and increase the chances of showing your face has an immeasurable effect on increasing their fame. Therefore, there is absolutely no shortage of positivity. Each of the upcoming artists is carefully dressed up and strives to show themselves in the most haode state.

Cui Zhengyuan knows that around this first shot. South Korea's large and small entertainment companies and artists, that is really eight immortals across the sea, each showing its ability. exhausted eighteen kinds of martial arts, just for a place to appear. In addition to the three MCs, there are also positions that must be left for Kim Jong Kook, Lee Jung-hyun and others of A.P Company. The rest of the candidates, the competition is so fierce that outsiders can't understand it at all.

In the end, it was the strong large companies such as S.M and JYP that got the lion's share, and the rest of the small companies got the meat. It can be said that the completion of the list of zuihou actors, I don't know how many money and beauty transactions have been experienced.

Because A.P Company has a pivotal weight in the show, many people even hit Choi Jung-won with their ideas. These days, he doesn't know how many ambiguous calls he has rejected from female celebrities who think they are somewhat famous. Like others, Kim Young-min and Han Sung-ho have complained to him more than once. Being harassed every day, no one is in a good mood.

asked Li Haoyu for a list of actors, and Cui Zhengyuan looked at it carefully.

In the first issue of "Xman", the main MC is Yoo Jae-seok, and the two auxiliary MCs are Kang Ho-dong and Kim Ji-dong, which is slightly different from the original history. In the original first issue, the main MC was Kim Jidong, and Liu Jae-seok was the auxiliary. However, after only one issue, Liu Jae-seok and Kim Ji-dong changed positions.

Because after one episode of the program, the program team found that although Jin Jidong was eloquent, he was witty and humorous. But in this kind of program with many actors, and it is also a sports-oriented program, his ability to control the scene is much worse, and he can't coordinate the context of the show at all.

After the second episode was replaced by Liu Zaishi, the show went much smoother. It will not affect the direction of the show, but also highlight the shots of the guests. Liu Jae-seok greatly enriched the composition of the show with his excellent adaptability and willingness to accompany him. At this point, "Xman" began to really set sail and gradually became the king of Korean variety shows.

Of course, the success of "Xman" does not just rely on the role of Liu Zaishi alone. The two auxiliary MCs Jiang Hudong and Jin Jidong have contributed a lot, let's just say that those regular guests are an indispensable part.

Shin Jung-hwan, Kim Jong-min, Cheon Myung-hoon, Park Myung-so, HAHA and others all played a vital role. In particular, Shin and Chung have created a miracle of more than 40% ratings for "Xman" with their unique funny.

You must know that in South Korea, even if it is a TV series with such a high rating, there are not many TV dramas with such high ratings. If it can exceed 30%, it can be called a big hit. With more than 40%, it is definitely a strong contender for the annual awards. When it reaches 50%, it is a national TV series. Throughout the history of Korean television, there are only a handful.

"Xman" has achieved such brilliance with a variety show, and it is worthy of the title of the originator of Korean variety shows in the new century. From here, the status of variety shows began to be greatly improved. Variety shows are no longer simply funny. Artists engaged in variety shows are no longer inferior.

Variety shows began to become an important part of television broadcasting, generating a lot of revenue and a wide audience for TV stations. Thinking about future generations, participating in "Running.Man" has become a benchmark for artists. Artists who are not famous enough and whose status is not high enough cannot appear in the show at all except for forming a team, and the influence of variety shows can be seen.

Variety shows are an important part of guiding Hallyu after dramas and songs. Many artists have gained great popularity by appearing in variety shows, which in turn has promoted their careers a lot. The most obvious example is Leessang, which is owned by itself.

In terms of strength alone, Leessang is definitely the top HIP-HOP group in South Korea. But because of the niche reason of their songs, they have always been tepid. It wasn't until Ji starred in Infinite Challenge and Gary starred in "Running.Man" that Leessang really took off. Thinking about the previous life, Leessang's concert venue was full, you can know the huge influence of variety shows.

There are also those artists who have ushered in the spring of their careers because of entertainment programs, Park Myung-so, HAHA, Kim Jong-kook, Park Ye-jin, Lee Kwang-so, Song Ji-hyo, Jung Jun-ha, Jung Hyung-don, Roh Hong-chul, Kim so-ro, Lee Tian-hee, etc., to name a few.

It is precisely because of his deep understanding of the huge influence of entertainment programs that Cui Zhengyuan has made every effort to cultivate entertainment talents. With many outstanding talents and variety shows, it is equivalent to broadening the acting path for its singers and actors. When A.P took over the TV broadcast, maybe the competitors would understand his original intentions.

The first episode of "Xman" starred Park Myung-so, HAHA, Kim Jong-kook, Lee Jung-hyun, Yoon Eun-hye, Ji Sang-yeol, Shin Jung-hwan, Cheon Myung-hoon, Kim Jong-min, Tony, Eric, and BADA. Removing professional comedy artists, the rest of the places are basically divided between A.P and S.M.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, Cheon Myung-hoon and Kim Jong-min were not acting as gagman. Cheon Myung-hoon is a member of the even first group NRG, and he is a popular idol in South Korea at this time. He was able to participate in the recording of this program mainly because of the strength of his agency. NRG once visited China with the President of South Korea, which shows the strength of its brokerage company.

Kim Jong-min was born as a backup dancer, and after years of tempering, he just joined the powerful mixed voice group Ko Yaotai and became the new captain. Ko Yo-tae has an extraordinary status in the Korean music industry, and is known as the "King of Disco Dance". The popularity of their songs far exceeds that of idol groups such as HOT and Crystal Boy. Kim Jong-min was able to participate, mainly relying on Gao Yaotai's fame and his good popularity.

As for Yoon Eun-hye, his current group, BabyV.O.X, has just made a name for himself. THEIR COMPANY, DRENTERTAINMENT, IS NOT A BIG COMPANY WITH A LOT OF POWER. The reason why she was able to appear in the recording of the first episode of "Xman" was purely Cui Zhengyuan's personal bad taste. Now that Kim Jong Kook is here, how can there be another one of the classic gossip couples?

Lee Ho-woo and Park Tae-jin are still wondering, would Weishenme Choi Jung-won recommend such a person to be selected?

Giving this place to Yoon Eun-hye is not just as simple as Choi Jung-won's bad taste. A.P got three places this time, but only Kim Jong Kook and Lee Jung-hyun can play, and it will be difficult to find another artist with similar strength. Jun Ji-hyun, Song Hye Kyo, and Cha Tae-hyun are okay, but two are filming movies and one is filming TV series, so they can't spare time at all. Besides, in the Korean entertainment industry at this time, actors are confident of their identities and basically will not appear in variety shows. The general trend is like this, and Cui Zhengyuan will not easily touch this bottom line.

Since you can't come up with a more hode candidate, you can only choose someone close to you. JYP and YG are now allies of A.P and were supposed to give up this spot to them. However, these two are fierce and have already seen signs of vigorous development. The Korean market is so big, sooner or later they will be their own competitors. Therefore, Cui Zhengyuan excluded them.

The result is that the choice is to choose and choose, and the favorite candidate is Yoon Eun-hye. For this artist with unlimited potential, Cui Zhengyuan does not have other ideas. After the disbandment of Baby V.O.X, Yoon Eun-hye has achieved great success as an actor. even surpassed Kim Tae-hee at one time and became the queen of advertising. If you get married now, you may be able to get a head start in the battle for Yoon Eun-hye.

The only thing that makes Choi Jung-won depressed is that despite all the obstacles he has made, S.M still got three positions, which also indirectly proves its status as the largest entertainment company in South Korea. HOT out of one, myth out of one, SES out of one, make other companies red.

"Tsk, S.M is still not ordinary, three people starring, and I'm not afraid of eating too much." Cui Zhengyuan said sourly.

The dirt between this friend and the S.M company, Li Haoyu knows it well. "Don't blame me for not helping you, I can't help it, it's pressed down from above. You also know that my shoulders are narrow, and I can't carry so many gods." He felt the need to explain, lest his good friend misunderstand that he wasn't doing his best.

Cui Zhengyuan also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly grabbed Li Haoyu's shoulders and said with a smile: "Brother, I know you are righteous enough." It's just that I can't get used to seeing Li Xiuman's guy so rampant."

Li Haoyu thought about it for a while and felt that he still had to fulfill his responsibility as a friend. After thinking about it for a while, "Zhengyuan, there are some things that I don't know whether to say or not." I tell me, don't you mind."

"Brother, what is our relationship, you just say it."

After observing it for a while, he found that Cui Zhengyuan was not abnormal, and Li Haoyu said his thoughts. "I know that your company and S.M are competitors, and it is impossible for the two sides to live in peace. However, you don't realize that you talk about S.M all day long. Invisibly, is it already inferior? At the very least, I didn't hear the same thing from Lee so-man or Kim Young-wook."

Li Haoyu's words were like a huge thunder, knocking on Cui Zhengyuan's inner demons.

Yes, only those who are not as skilled as others will always compare themselves with others, and there is no strong person who will do the same thing to the weak. In fact, it was also the S.M company in the previous life that gave Cui Zhengyuan a lot of pressure. At that time, he had nothing to do with the Korean entertainment industry, and he could feel the super strength of this giant. In this life, the two sides face competition and compete for this small market. Although Cui Zhengyuan has always given people the appearance of Zhizhu in his hands, in fact, no one knows the pressure in his heart.

Although Li Haoyu's words were not good, his words were contrary to his ears and completely woke him up. The more you care, the more you are at a disadvantage.

At this time, S.M was just getting started, and after experiencing HOT, Shinhwa, and SES, it was just laying the foundation. Similarly, A.P. has only recently been restructured. Lee Jung-hyun is in the limelight, Kim Jong-kook has successfully flown solo, and "My Sassy Girlfriend" directed by Kwak Jae-yong, starring Jun Ji-hyun and Cha Tae-hyun will be released soon. Song Hye Kyo and Won Bin's "Blue Life and Death Love" will be broadcast on KBS. With these two classic dramas in hand, A.P is about to have four more top artists. It can be said that compared with S.M, it even has a slight advantage.

As the saying goes, iron must be its own. Not focusing on one's own development and blindly paying attention to the performance of others will only drag yourself down. Running an entertainment company well is definitely not just about having a lot of money. Talent reserves, long-term vision, careful management of hardware construction and grasp of fashion trends, elite planning team, strong network and other software construction are the way to success. Otherwise, in South Korea, there are not a few companies that are richer than S.M, but weishenme let it take the lead?

Thinking of this, Cui Zhengyuan suddenly felt relieved, like a big stone pressed on his body was removed. "Brother, xiexie, I've figured it out." He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to his friend for his kindness.

"You're just a fan of the authorities, even if I don't say it, you'll figure it out after a while." Li Haoyu did not take credit and frankly expressed his thoughts.

"I can't say that, the most precious thing in this shijie is time. If it weren't for you to wake up in time, brother, when I figured it out, maybe how much it would have cost?" A person who can treat himself sincerely is a close friend. Cui Zhengyuan and Li Haoyu used to communicate with each other, although there were like-minded factors in it. The more reason is that it is just a communication for the sake of family relations, and how much sincerity is in it, even he himself is not clear.

The so-called gentlemen are not worthy of deep friendship, that's all. It seems that haode wears a pair of pants, but it is because there are various interests entangled behind it. Until this moment, Cui Zhengyuan regarded Li Haoyu as an elder brother.

"Hehe, you're just too smart. When looking at things, there are too many opinions. Life is a long one, and you still have a lot to learn." Li Haoyu understood the emotion in Cui Zhengyuan's eyes and felt truly relieved. This younger brother is good at everything, he is out of line, and he has his own set of rules no matter what he does. It's not that it's bad, it's just that he's a little indifferent.

When he was young, everyone didn't think it was going to be anything, and they thought it was because of his personality. Until recently, Li Haoyu and PSY got together for a drink and talked about Cui Zhengyuan. After the two exchanged views, they came to the conclusion that Cui Zhengyuan was a little indifferent. In order not to let this close brother become a ruthless businessman, Li Haoyu has such a move today.

In doing so, he also took a big risk. After all, at this time, the Li family is at a delicate moment, and there are many places where the Cui family needs to be used. Once Cui Zhengyuan thinks it is right, maybe he will have a bad relationship with Li Haoyu, which will lead to the estrangement between Cui and Li.
