vs 1304 Support of the multitude
After the call, there were still several hours before dawn.
Because of the fire, Li Jingyuan and the girls were all impacted, so they didn't feel much sleepy.
While chatting, he waited for the other few people who had been notified just now. First Narsha, Kim Shin-young, then Han Sun-hwa, IU and Hyuna, within two or three hours, these people also rushed to the idol village one after another.
This is the first time that G8 members have reunited after the end of "Youth Undefeated". Moreover, the reunion place is still in the idol village, which makes everyone even happier. At this meeting, the girls hugged together like a separated family reunion, and the small scene did seem to be a little moving.
After dawn, Village Chief Lu also rushed back from Busan on the first plane in the morning, and he was greeted by a noise of the girls. And in the midst of the excitement, it was a little surprising that the main PD of KBS, who was originally responsible for filming the show "Youth Undefeated", also rushed over shortly after the arrival of Village Chief Lu.
Now that everyone has arrived, it's time to go to the old people's hall to see if Uncle Wangjiu needs help. In fact, when everyone saw Uncle Wangjiu again, he, his aunt, and a few other villagers who had been with them all night had already begun to sort out their belongings.
The burned houses are obviously no longer inhabitable, so before tearing down these ruined houses, it is necessary to sort out those things that can still be used from the rubble.
After saying hello to uncles and aunts, Li Jingyuan also joined the finishing team with a vote of girls. Village Chief Lu is different. It's not that he wants to be lazy as often as he did when filming "Youth Undefeated", but because he wants to talk more about his uncle and aunt, as a brother. Go and comfort the two.
Not to mention, Village Chief Lu's explanation is really effective. Originally, he was still packing up his things while secretly shedding tears, but after feeling the concern of Village Chief Lu, the uncle and aunt were in a much better mood than before. Although it is not calm, it is no longer as big as the mood swing just now.
Mentally better. It's time to talk about the material things.
The house of the uncle and aunt needs to be rebuilt, and there will be a lot of expenses in it. Although the labor in the countryside is not expensive, there are many times when villagers will come to help. The host family only needs to provide one meal. However, building materials and other things are bound to cost money. It's already been a fire, so there can't be any more problems, right? So, in order to ensure the quality of the new house. You have to be careful when choosing materials.
It does not mean that the best material is necessary by all means. But at the very least, there must be a certain guarantee of quality. Together, the cost of these materials is not a few.
While packing up his things, he talked to the girls about building a new house. Li Jingyuan already had some ideas at this time, that is, he wanted to pull these girls together to prepare the necessary materials for the reconstruction of Uncle Wangjiu's house.
wanted to think about it, but Li Jingyuan did not directly give a proposal. The reason is very simple, it is because he still has to think about the ideas of the girls.
It's a matter of money. It's better to be steady. Although they are both artists, there is a huge gap between Li Jingyuan's net worth and the net worth of the girls. The money to build a house is just a drop in the bucket for Li Jingyuan. But for these girls, it's not a small amount of money.
Xiao Taiyang, Yu Li and IU have a closer relationship with Li Jingyuan, and the contracts for artists in S.m are more lenient, so these people are a little richer financially. Therefore, even if Li Jingyuan proposed, 'Let's raise funds together to build a new house for uncles and aunts', these girls would not have any other ideas.
However, with a few other girls, the situation is different. Although these people are also very familiar with Li Jingyuan, in the final analysis, they are still not familiar to the point where they have no scruples at all and can fully understand each other. Moreover, the economic situation of the few of them is much worse than that of the three of them, and with the same amount of funds, the little sun may not feel embarrassed to take it out, but it will be very painful to let the other girls take it out. At this time, if the person who made the suggestion was Li Jingyuan, who was 'richer', then the other girls would definitely have some ideas in their hearts, such as 'We are not as rich as you' and so on.
obviously wants to do good things, but if a good thing becomes a bad thing, and there is a rift between friends who were originally very close, that is not what Li Jingyuan wants to see.
Maybe someone wants to say, since it's so embarrassing, then don't tell the girls, won't you Li Jingyuan pay for it by yourself?
Money is nothing, the point is that it doesn't make sense. Everyone is a member of "Youth Undefeated", and they have all been taken care of by Uncle Wangjiu, and the relationship between them and Uncle Wangjiu is the same. If you leave the girls aside and let Li Jingyuan come out alone, isn't that tantamount to damaging the girls' face?
After thinking about it, the best way is to ask one of the girls to make a suggestion, and after they all agree, it is most appropriate for Li Jingyuan to echo it.
So, how can you get the girls to take the initiative to make this suggestion themselves?
For other people, it may be a little difficult to do this, but for Li Jingyuan, it is nothing.
He has served as a regular member in "Two Days and One Night", "Youth Undefeated", and "Birth of a Family", and is now a regular member of "Infinite Challenge" and "RunningMan". Li Jingyuan's hosting skills have long been exercised, even if there is still a gap from the god level, he has already mastered a lot of hosting skills.
Among the skills of hosting, one of the most critical is 'guidance'. Guide the crowd to focus their attention on something or something; Throw out a topic and lead everyone to talk around it; Or guide someone to say a certain sentence that is needed to create the effect of the show. Among so many artists in Korea who can serve as MCs, the one who is best at 'guiding' is Yoo Jae-seok. His 'guidance' skills can be said to have reached the point of being superb, and Li Jingyuan, who has been by his side for so long, has only learned a little bit. It's enough to deal with the current situation.
Not to mention, there is a little sun in front of these girls. This girl is ghostly, and she has been mixed with Li Jingyuan since she was a child, so there is no need to say much about the tacit understanding between the two. Li Jingyuan often only needs to give a look, or say one or two words, this girl will be very smart to take Li Jingyuan's words, and then continue to say according to his meaning.
It's the same now. Li Jingyuan just mentioned it slightly, and then threw a look at Xiao Sun when everyone was not paying attention, and a tacit understanding was reached between the two. And then. Xiao Sun first proposed, 'Why don't we each take some money out and help Uncle and Aunt build a house'.
With Village Chief Lu accompanying him, the attention of the uncle and aunt was not on the girls. And Xiao Sun didn't say it very loudly when he made this suggestion, but bit his ear and whispered. One by one, he passed the word out to the people. So. Even if they are only a dozen meters away from the uncle and aunt, the situation on their side has still not been discovered by the uncle and aunt.
With the little sun taking the lead, things will go much smoother. The girls immediately expressed their approval of her proposal, and no one objected at all, and no one resisted in their hearts.
Those who have more money will give more, and those who have less money will give less, unconsciously. Including Li Jingyuan and Jin Shenying, they made an agreement with these girls. Everyone took out a sum of money and gathered together to help the uncle and aunt build a new house.
Li Jingyuan didn't say the words 'the rest of the money is wrapped up in me', although he paid more than the girls, but it didn't go too far. It's not that he doesn't want to do that, it's that he can't do that, and that's what it's called 'enough to do it'.
Uncle Wangjiu's relationship with everyone is indeed very close, but in the final analysis, he is not Li Jingyuan's relative. To a certain extent, Uncle Wangjiu will say thank you while accepting it, but if it is too much, Uncle Wangjiu will feel very burdened.
In order not to make the originally close relationship become embarrassing, the so-called 'degree' is very important. It is precisely for this reason that Li Jingyuan did not open up to pay money. In his opinion, instead of spending enough money, it is better to take time to come and help out when the house is built.
In fact, Li Jingyuan not only thinks so, but also does it.
A few days later, Uncle Wangjiu's new house had already begun to be rebuilt. In addition to Li Jingyuan and the girls, Village Chief Lu also pooled a sum of money together. Village Chief Lu took out 10 million, in order not to hurt Village Chief Lu's face, Li Jingyuan also paid 10 million, among the G8 members, Xiao Sun and Yu Li each took 1.5 million, and the other six people each took 1 million, plus Jin Shenying took out 2 million, this vote added up to a total of 31 million funds.
And in addition to these 31 million, KBS, which got the news, also took out 30 million for face. In other words, the regular members and program team of "Youth Undefeated" raised a total of 61 million construction costs for Uncle Wangjiu's family.
With so much money, the most you can do in the city is to build a toilet. And in the countryside, you can already build several houses. Moreover, Uncle Wangjiu himself did not take out a little money, plus the 20 million he took out himself, a total of about 80 million funds, which was enough to build his family's new house.
Of the 80 million funds, at least 70 million are used to buy materials, and the remaining 10 million are various labor costs.
Some people may want to say, 10 million labor costs? Isn't it too little?
In fact, the labor cost is so small, and it is also because of Li Jingyuan and the girls.
Some people may remember that in the program "Youth Undefeated", there was a large-scale activity - in order to plant two paddy fields, G8 members sent out an 'audience invitation letter' in the program and invited a lot of helpers to participate in this activity.
Among those teams of people who came to help with the farming, there was a group of people who were college students majoring in architecture. In addition to studying, helping others build houses is one of the activities that these students are most familiar with.
After returning to Seoul, Lee Kyung-won remembered these college students who loved to help others the most, and then. He found the PD of "Undefeated Youth", turned out the contact information, and took a few girls to contact this group of people again.
There are little suns and others who come forward. Isn't it just a matter of asking this group of college students for help? After receiving the call, without saying a word, the college students agreed to help Uncle Wangjiu build a house, and the remuneration was simple, no money was needed, as long as the food was managed.
College students usually have to take care of their classes, so naturally it is impossible to stay in Yuzhi every day to help Uncle Wangjiu build a house. But. Others are different.
These people are also volunteers, and they were found by Li Jingyuan from his fans. It is known that in Lee Kyung-won's fan base. There are many people who are enthusiastic volunteers, and many of them live not only in Seoul, but also in cities all over Korea.
I contacted the heads of several public welfare groups in the fan group and explained the situation a little. Li Jingyuan found a lot of people who were willing to help Uncle Wangjiu build a house. And the volunteers whose families live in Gangwon-do, not far from Yuzhi-ri.
Those with less time help for one day, and those with more time stay for a few more days, anyway, on average, there are at least a dozen volunteers staying at the construction site of Uncle Wangjiu's house almost every day to help.
Since it is a volunteer, of course it will not be paid. They, like the group of architecture students, only need to take care of their meals.
More than a dozen volunteers. Combined with the students who came to help in shifts, there were less than twenty at most. And for Uncle Wangjiu. The labor cost of building a house is actually the food cost of these 20 people.
In the countryside, there are vegetable gardens everywhere, and Uncle Wangjiu's house is naturally no exception. In addition, you don't need to spend money on rice and noodles, you just need to go to the village warehouse and take it out of the share that belongs to Uncle Wangjiu's family. After eating it on this day, at most, it costs money to buy meat, and after a little calculation, the cost of a day is dead, that is, less than 100,000.
Well, it's better to count the surplus a little more, and count it as 150,000. In a month, it's only 4.5 million.
How long does it take to build a house in the countryside? If the weather is good, it's only a month or two. If you calculate it, the total labor cost (food cost) is less than 10 million.
The volunteers are very enthusiastic, and Li Jingyuan, the initiator, will certainly not be idle. In the next period of time, as long as he is free, he will come to Yuzhi to help. And every time he comes, it will not be alone. Either there are members of Girls' Generation who go with them, or they are other members of the G8 who are pulling in, or they are simply connecting with other artists who are taking a break but like to do public welfare. In short, as long as Li Jingyuan appears, there will definitely be other artists who will appear with him. Even, sometimes even if Lee Kyung-won himself didn't come, there would be some artists who were very familiar with him and also liked public welfare undertakings who would come alone, such as Lee Hyo-ri and Kim Ji-dong. In general, almost every day, on the construction site of Uncle Wangjiu's house, at least one or two artists can be seen.
For the volunteers who came to help, it was already a pleasure to be able to see the artists up close. And working with these artists, and being able to chat while working, is a great way to stimulate their enthusiasm.
Facts have proved that it is because of these artists who came to help with Li Jingyuan that the accuracy and progress of the project have increased a lot invisibly. In the original budget, the construction period will last about two months, and looking at the current level of enthusiasm of the group, it is estimated that it will be completed in a little more than a month at most.
…………………………………………………….
Uncle Wangjiu's house caught fire on February 6, and the day to start reconstruction was on February 28, the most suitable day in the imperial calendar. The date of completion of the reconstruction should be sometime in early to mid-April.
Now, let's rewind the clock a little bit and go back to the third day after the fire at Uncle Wangjiu's house.
The day is February 9th. After three days of preparation, the funds donated by everyone have been in place, and the construction students and volunteers have also been contacted.
Helping Uncle Wangjiu build a house can be regarded as a private matter. And tomorrow, Li Jingyuan still has one business to do, if nothing else, that is, to participate in the filming of the 'Idol Star Games' organized by MBC.
Because of Li Jingyuan's intervention, the number of people participating in the Games this time was a little higher than in history. Not to mention the idols who would have participated, but because of Lee Kyung-won's invitation, Girls' Generation, Kara, TVXQ, Tara, Bigbang, and 2PM, who had not participated in the Games, also sent members to participate in the event. Among these groups, Girls' Generation, Tara, Kara, and 2PM were all in action, while the other two groups sent Yoon-ho and Changmin, Daesung, and TOP as representatives to participate in the event.
Whether it was full participation or only sending representatives to participate, Li Jingyuan still sold a face. Therefore, as the inviter, Li Jingyuan should be more attentive.
So, how can you be dedicated? After thinking about it for a while, Li Jingyuan had an idea that would not destroy the filming plan that the program team had already set, but also make the idols participating in the event very happy. (To be continued......)
