When he walked into the studio, Li Haoyu was staring at the monitoring screen intently, and he didn't notice that there was another person around him. This is a rehearsal before the live broadcast, and it is crucial. Cui Zhengyuan didn't bother him, stood quietly next to him, and observed the entire broadcast studio with great interest.

It was the first time he had entered the TV studio, and he was curious about everything inside. It's just that there is a specialization in the art industry, and there is no professional explanation, so he can't understand how these staff convert the live broadcast picture into a digital signal and then transmit it.

Since he couldn't read it, he wasn't interested in reading it anymore. Returning to Li Haoyu, the different temperament from usual made Cui Zhengyuan very curious.

This is the first time he has seen Li Haoyu's serious appearance, and people who are obsessed with work always have a different kind of charm. Originally, Li Haoyu was very handsome, otherwise he would not be able to soak in a woman so easily just because of his good family background and no capital. It's just that he usually looks like a child, which somewhat hides his essence.

Looking at him now, his bright eyes are firmly fixed on the front, and from time to time he gives orders through the walkie-talkie, taking control of a huge performance. This kind of control of the situation and swaying freely, if it is seen by a woman, it will definitely become a nymphomaniac.

"Camera 10 moves three meters to the left, so that the angle of the 6th light is vertical, and the 12th colored beam lights up. OK, that's it, remember the order, that's it when it's time to go live." After Zuihou's instructions, Li Haoyu took off the microphone, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the sweat on his face.

He was just standing there, but his mind had been running for hours. Today is the Christmas special, and the show time is half an hour longer than the usual show.

Don't underestimate the amount of just half an hour, I don't know how many times the amount of work behind the scenes has increased as a result. The popular song column that airs on weekdays is 70 minutes long, and before that, it takes nearly five or six hours to prepare for rehearsals. Today's Christmas special has been prepared since the early hours of the morning. Letting the drunken young master Li get up from the warm and comfortable bed was more uncomfortable than killing him.

This year's Christmas, only SBS's popular song show aired, and MBC's Music Center and KBS's Music Bank were not broadcast on this day. Therefore, SBS took the opportunity to put on a grand Christmas special.

Entertainment companies all over South Korea, large and small, have been invited by SBS in advance, requiring their artists to attend today's show. In the face of the strength of TV stations, even large companies such as S.M and A.P have to retreat.

Top artists such as HOT, SES, and Lee Jung-hyun that Choi Jung-won saw in the lounge just now were all present in this situation. What's more, today's show must have attracted the attention of the whole country, and being able to participate in it is also a great benefit to the artist's popularity. Being invited is in itself a testament to the artist's fame.

Lee Ho-woo also called Choi Jung-won directly and strongly asked Kim Jong Kook to participate in the performance. It's just that Kim Jong Kook's MV production is at a critical moment and can't be delayed, so Choi Jung-won was helpless and had no choice but to refuse Lee Ho-woo. For this, Choi Jung-won also paid the price of a treat at the Shilla Hotel.

High attention also means high pressure, and any broadcast accident is a major loss for SBS. Li Tianzai has already issued a strict order to ensure that there are no problems in the show. Although Li Haoyu usually has no heart and lungs, he does not dare to make a mistake at this critical moment. Otherwise, if there was really an accident, he would definitely throw him into the Han River.

"Oh, Zhengyuan, when did you come"? It was only at this time that Lee Ho-woo discovered Choi Jung-won.

"For a while, seeing that you were so busy, I didn't bother you".

"Let's go, let's go sit over there for a while. After standing for a long time, my legs are numb." Li Haoyu pulled Cui Zhengyuan to the sofa in the rest area and collapsed on it.

Cui Zhengyuan made two cups of coffee, handed them to Li Haoyu, and said with a smile: "How is it, I have never felt so tired like today, right?"

Li Haoyu took the cup and took a sip, finally stretching his constricted brow a little. Rubbing his temples with his left hand, he said painfully: "Today, this time, at least ten years of life will be reduced." I've done shows before, and I've never worked so hard as I have today."

"Today is different, this is the first Christmas special at the beginning of the century, and everyone's eyes are on here", Cui Zhengyuan said with a smile.

Li Haoyu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The old man has come here at least five or six times today, and he really doesn't worry about me."

Cui Zhengyuan patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "You have to understand Uncle Li, he is also under a lot of pressure."

Li Haoyu shrugged his shoulders and expressed helplessness. Changed the topic and said: "I said Zhengyuan, you should really let Kim Jong Kook come today, look at the list of actors, the S.M family is dominant, you can't watch them arrogant."

Cui Zhengyuan was not instigated by him. Although Li Tianzai has shown signs of moving closer to the side of the big GJ party, Tairong Real Estate, the largest shareholder of SBS, is a die-hard member of the New Millennium MZ Party and has a lot to do with S.M in the same camp.

In normal times, everyone can still follow the rules of the game, and on an occasion like today, A.P is not competitive with S.M in SBS. If you already know the results, why bother with thanklessness.

Li Haoyu just said it in passing, venting his frustration. He knew that this little brother was a goblin, and it was even more difficult for him to suffer.

"I really envy that group of guys, you can go to such a haode place to spend all day drinking, weishenme I'm so miserable"? In SBS, it is inconvenient for Li Haoyu to talk about some sensitive things with Cui Zhengyuan, so he can only find some irrelevant things to talk about. The most haode topic is, of course, those beasts who are already abroad, thinking of their abandonment of themselves to enjoy themselves, Li Haoyu is all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"It's okay, brother, if you behave well this time, maybe Uncle Li will let you go."

"No way, the old man has already spoken, and I will be responsible for this year's year-end awards, alas, why am I so pitiful."

Cui Zhengyuan's mind was full of thoughts, but he thought of more. If it is said that letting Li Haoyu supervise the popular ballad this time is Li Tianzai's punishment for his fight in a bar, then it is a little wrong to let him supervise the year-end awards. is so urgent to let Li Haoyu show his face in SBS, obviously with the intention of pushing him to the top.

"Does Uncle Li have any arrangements?" Cui Zhengyuan asked cautiously. After all, this is someone's family matter, and it's always right for him to be careful. It's just that any change in SBS will inevitably have some impact on his company, and he has to ask.

"Sure enough, it's a dog's nose, and its sense of smell is really sensitive." Li Haoyu stretched out his thumb and praised. His eyes glanced around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to this, he leaned into Cui Zhengyuan's ear and whispered: "Someone is dissatisfied with the old man and wants to impeach him." The old man is not out of temper, he must fight back."

"It's the last time in Jeju Island, right?" Choi Jung-won can almost confirm that it must be because of the incident of Lee Ho-woo's appearance on Jeju Island last time, which aroused the alarm of the pro-New Millennium MZ party within SBS.

"It's not a big deal, the old man has been in power for a few years, and the achievements he has made are obvious to all. As long as the year-end things are done beautifully, there will be a full house, and there is basically no problem in renewing the term", Li Haoyu said indifferently. Lee is not only the president of SBS, but also an important member of the board of directors, and also the chairman of the Korea National Pension Management Corporation, the major shareholder of SBS.

"In short, tell Uncle Li that you must not be careless, and be careful in everything." Choi Jung-won is not as optimistic as Lee Ho-woo, but he knows that after Kim Dae-z, it is Roh Moo X who will come to power, and the MZ Party in the new millennium will be in power.

The director walked over and reminded that the time was almost up. Li Haoyu is going to prepare for a review of Zuihou before the live broadcast, and he doesn't have time to talk to Cui Zhengyuan anymore.

Choi Jung-won said goodbye to Lee Hao-woo and prepared to return to the studio hall. The live broadcast is about to start, and he has to go to meet up with the trainees.

When he walked around the corner, he bumped into Lee Ji-hyun head-on. She was still holding a little girl in her hand, and when she looked at it, it turned out to be Xian Enjing. They were talking to a couple of men here. Choi Jung-won frowned and stepped forward, he thought that Li Ji-hyun and the others were being harassed. It was not uncommon for some powerful employees of the TV station to harass the newly debuted artists, and he thought they had encountered them.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lee Ji-hyun turned his head and found that it was Cui Zhengyuan. Busy said: "General manager, you came just in time."

Hearing this, those people got out of the way and let Cui Zhengyuan walk in. "What's the matter? Aren't you supposed to be in there? How did you get here"?

Lee Ji-hyun introduced the man next to her to Choi Jung-won: "Chang, this is director Lee Sang-hyun of SBS, he has taken a fancy to Eun-jeong and wants her to play a child actor in a historical drama. We're talking about it, but we can't decide. I'm waiting for you to come back."

So it was, Cui Zhengyuan realized that he had misunderstood, so he let go of his face. He shook the director's hand and looked at it at the same time.

This director is in his forties, not tall, but he has a very strong body, and he seems to exercise regularly. The whole person is full of confident smiles, energetic, and bright, and it seems that he is in the stage of career success.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that Lee Sang-hyun is now the director of SBS, and has directed several hit TV series, and has a high status in SBS. The career is successful, and the spring breeze is proud. He also cherishes everything that he has come up with with great difficulty, and he usually works diligently and cleanly, so he has a good reputation in the industry.

Choi Jung-won didn't know him, but Lee Ji-hyun had admired him for a long time. Unexpectedly, by chance, the little guy in his hand got the opportunity to appear from Director Li Da, which is really envious and jealous.

Li Zhixian and the others arrived relatively early, and they had been in the studio for a while. Xian Eunjing couldn't help but go to the toilet, but Li Zhixian was not at ease, so he took her out himself.

Lee Sang-hyun is going to shoot a historical drama this time, which has been listed by SBS as the opening work of next year. So he also strives for perfection and doesn't dare to be careless. There is a role of a small actor in the play, and the weight is very heavy, but many people were interviewed, and they were all unqualified.

He was distressed, and unexpectedly ran into Xian Eunjing, who was walking back after going to the toilet, in the corridor of SBS. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and it didn't take much effort to get it. So he stopped the two and explained his intentions.

Xian Enjing is only thirteen years old, and Li Zhixian is only a trainee, such a thing is not something they can decide, so they said that they will wait for the company's leaders to come back.

Lee Sang-hyun was also surprised, he thought that the person he met in SBS should be a performer, but he didn't expect that he was still a trainee of an entertainment company. Fortunately, he has a lot of time now, so he waited with the two girls for a while.

"Hello Director Li, I am the executive director of the company to which this girl belongs. I wonder what her role in your drama is"? Cui Zhengyuan was also surprised, although Xian Eunjing in his previous life was a child actor and had starred in many TV series. It's just that this luck is so good, I just came out to go to the toilet casually, and I was hit by a character.

He has already made up his mind that no matter what the weight of the role is, he will let Eun Jing play it, and it will also be good for them to add more acting experience. The reason for this question is also to bargain when negotiating a contract.

Lee Sang-hyun is just a director, how did he know the dirty thoughts of the smiling young man in front of him, and he said his thoughts in one go. "Hello Executive Cui. is like this, Eun Jing's role in this drama is the heroine's maid when she was a child. Loyal to the heroine, he became mute in the process of saving the heroine. Her role will continue until the protagonist grows up, which is about seven episodes." Cui Zhengyuan thought about it for a while, and the length of seven episodes is a very important supporting role. Looking at Li Shangxian's concern, he should be able to win a good contract, so he said: "I am very honored that Director Li can take a fancy to our company's trainees." Director Li, can you leave a contact information, and I will ask the company's agent to negotiate with you about the specific contract details."

Li Shangxian smiled: "In this way, Executive Cui agrees." This is my business card, and your company's agent can come at any time."

Leaving his contact information, Li Shangxian went to work on other things. Before leaving, he instructed Enjing to report to the crew as soon as possible. This kind of contract for a small actor, although there will be some disputes between the two parties, is by no means a big deal. As long as the intention is confirmed, there will be no surprises. This is also the reason why Lee Sang-hyun is so relieved.

Eun Jing pulled Choi Jung-won's sleeve and asked hopefully, "Executive, can I act in a TV series?"

Cui Zhengyuan stroked her short hair dotingly, and said with a smile: "Yes, our Enjing is amazing, just come out casually, and you can become an actor."

The little girl is in the stage of worship, and in her eyes, this handsome standing brother is a very great big man. It's just that she didn't know each other before, so she didn't dare to get too close. Now the intimate actions of the general made her shy all of a sudden. turned around and ran to Lee Ji-hyun's side, showing off coquettishly with a nasal voice, "Sister, sister, I'm going to be an actor"!

Li Zhixian looked at her enviously, and had to admire her luck, "Yes, Enjing, you have to fight." Good haode acting, don't embarrass the company".

"Well, I will definitely work hard not to disappoint the general manager." Looking back at Choi Jung-won and seeing that he was smiling at himself, Eun Jing hurriedly buried her head in Lee Ji-hyun's clothes.

"By the way, Enjing, let your parents come tomorrow, and after signing the contract, you can go to the crew to report." Cui Zhengyuan remembered something and ordered.

Enjing is still a child, she doesn't know the reason, she only knows to do what she is told. Li Zhixian is an experienced adult, and he was stunned when he heard the words, and his expression was thoughtful. After returning to the studio, after Eun Jing took the lead in entering, Lee Ji Hyun came to Cui Jung-won's side and whispered: "Executive, trainee starring, there is no need to sign another contract."

Cui Zhengyuan said: "What is this?" There is a reward for hard work, whether it is an artist or a trainee in the company, since you have paid for your labor, of course, you must have a harvest. Although Enjing is still a trainee and will not get paid much, this represents the company's rules after all. Not only her, but all of you in the future will do the same." After speaking, he walked to the side and called the company and asked them to send an agent over to discuss with Li Shangxian's crew about Eun Jing's appearance.

Li Zhixian looked at the back of the executive officer, his beautiful eyes flashed, and a happy smile bloomed on his face.

Korean agencies have never heard of any remuneration for trainees, and they basically use them as free labor. I don't know of any trainees complaining about this, on the contrary, they have to thank the company for giving them the opportunity to show their faces.

It seems that my company is very humane. The depressed mood that was delayed because of the upcoming debut has finally been alleviated. "Perhaps, it really makes sense that the general manager doesn't let himself debut now."

People are like this, once they think that the other party is good, then everything is haode; If you think that the other party is a bad guy, even if you say it wildly, you will be preconceived and denied. It was only at this time that Lee Ji-hyun really let go of the mustard in his heart.

"What are you doing here, don't go in quickly." Just when Li Zhixian was stunned, Cui Zhengyuan had already finished the phone call and walked back.

"Ah...... Oh, oh". Thinking that his smirking appearance was seen by the general manager, a wave of shame immediately surged up his cheeks, and the fire burned. Not daring to look at the executive officer, Li Zhixian hurriedly turned around and walked inside, as if he felt that the executive behind him still had his eyes, and he even twisted the way he walked.

Cui Zhengyuan wondered in his heart, what's wrong with this girl?

They have been out there for so long, and the live broadcast has already begun.

The opening Christmas carol session is almost over, and the actors on stage have already sung to the climax. In order to match the festive atmosphere of Christmas, the entire studio hall is mainly white, and the background screen simulates the scene of snowflakes falling.

On the stage, the actors dressed up as Santa Claus, Christmas trees, elk, lanterns, lovers, etc., and children ran happily with Christmas gifts, with cheerful Christmas songs, the whole scene was lively and celebrative, and added a touch of romance. The audience was also moved by the atmosphere, waving colorful balloons in their hands and intoxicated by the music.

The interaction between the stage and the stage is very well done, and the scene presented in the camera is even more beautiful, and I believe that this opening can leave a deep impression.

Choi Jung-won and Lee Ji-hyun quietly found a seat for A.P trainees and did it next to each other. This area was set aside by Li Haoyu's personal orders, very close to the stage, and the viewing angle is good. Looking at such a comfortable seat, Cui Zhengyuan was satisfied with Li Haoyu's dedication.

It's just that soon, he's going to be depressed.
