Chapter 110: Just on the road
After the filming ended, several MCs of "Infinite Challenge" often had dinner, and this time, in order to express their gratitude to Kim C, Yoon Il Sang, and Ahn Jung-hoon for coming over for free service, Yoo Jae-seok took the lead in inviting them to a meal. There is no need for the show's PD Kim Tae-ho to come forward, Yoo Jae-seok can give this gratitude on behalf of the "Infinite Challenge" program team, in the entertainment industry, the opportunity to have a meal privately with Yoo Jae-seok is much more precious than recording the show with Yoo Jae-seok.
Liu Zaishi usually behaves very atmosphericly in the show and is a good hand at enlivening the atmosphere, but friends who are close to him have a common evaluation of him: recognize life. The people who can get Liu Jae-seok's approval are all people who have been with him for a long time in the show, such as Haha, such as Kim Jong Kook, and Li Jingming, the only outlier, is because of his own temperament and personality He has an appetite for Yoo Jae-seok, he is capable but not proud, humorous and not pretentious, and he is a very likable type.
All the fixed MCs of "Infinite Challenge" were not absent from this thank-you banquet, and even haha pushed off the original announcement, first, Yoo Jae-seok's face is really big, and second, the later songs still have to rely on three composers (Kim C is also counted). Li Jingming also followed, he wanted to go home directly to take a shower, eat a meal and then lie down and watch TV, but Liu Zaishi didn't pull him, and he couldn't save Liu Zaishi's face, and now there are no props to give him a chance to perform and change his life.
There are many restaurants around the MBC main building, which are basically supported by artists, and even those fans who come to eat are also coming for the artists, so the boss is very enthusiastic when he sees Liu Zaishi and his party, "Zaishi, I haven't been here for a long time." ”
"President Li (all self-employed people in South Korea are called presidents) Hello, it's true that I haven't been here for a long time, but I'm also busy shooting, and I can't help it." The taste of this shop is very good, the owner is a little older and very kind, Yoo Jae-seok has been here many times before, and the photo of himself and President Li is hanging on the wall.
"Infinity, challenge!" As soon as President Li of the hotel saw this lineup, he knew that it was a dinner party for the friends of "Infinite Challenge", and next to MBC, he naturally paid more attention to MBC's program, and made a ten-finger flowering action to everyone before leading the group into the private room.
Liu Zaishi usually doesn't drink, everyone knows it, so no one forced him, but Li Jingming was startled, and when he just poured the wine, Park Mingxiu also said funny, "Although you are a minor, it's okay to drink something, we will never say it." ”
"Where did the minors come from, this child is twenty-three." Yoo Jae-seok smiled and told Park Myung-so this sad truth.
"Really, I thought you were a buildable and ready to train you, but now it seems that you don't match me at all." Park Myung-so, who was originally sitting next to Lee Kyung-myung, immediately moved a position to the side, the reason why this fact is very sad for Park Myung-so is because he himself is an "old face", and he looks like Yoo Jae-seok's father's generation, but in fact, he is only one year older than Yoo Jae-seok, so he is a little resentful of people who look childish.
This meal was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, Liu Zaishi as a national MC made the atmosphere at the table relaxed and pleasant, and Li Jingming, as a busy person at the table, took good care of the seniors very thoughtfully, and the boldness when he drank alone made people like it. There is no way not to be bold, Taoism does not have so many taboos, you can eat meat and drink alcohol, Li Jingming was only a few years old when he studied art in Wudang Mountain in this life, and he followed the master to contact the wine of the Celestial Empire, the real wine, and later when he went to school in the Celestial Empire, he would come a little from time to time, so Li Jingming's amount of wine is very good, and it is impossible to drink a thousand cups of serious liquor without getting drunk, and he still has no problem drinking this kind of liquor called soju.
After eating, Liu Zaishi still had to go to catch the announcement, and after thinking about it, he asked Li Jingming if he was okay and pulled him into his nanny car, he didn't talk in detail a few days ago, and it was difficult for Liu Zaishi to take out the whole piece of time to drink coffee and communicate with Li Jingming, so he was ready to use this time to talk to Li Jingming.
"Jingming, how long do you think "Infinite Challenge" can be done?" Liu Zaishi was puzzled by feelings, "X-man", which was still in his hands three months ago, can be called a generation of variety show dynasty, but in the face of popular changes, it still can't support it and collapses, which makes Liu Zaishi's heart very touched.
"No major accidents, no pressure for ten years." Li Jingming has seen it once, so he naturally knows that this is a longevity program.
"Big accident?" Liu Zaishi was not happy because of what Li Jingming said for ten years, but related to the first half of what Li Jingming said.
Li Jingming nodded, "The kind of large-scale accident in the PD Manual. ”
Liu Zaishi was silent, he naturally knew what the Korean entertainment industry was ultimately serving in the circle, but although he himself was known as the national MC and the first recognition in South Korea, he was actually just a small person.
"What about ten years, "Family Casino" has been done for twenty-six years and still has an end day, and everything on this shijie has an expiration date." Liu Zaishi seems to have thought a lot during the time when "X-man" was cut, no one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is good for a hundred days.
"Then try to make this shelf life a little longer." Li Jingming is not optimistic, but confident.
Liu Zaishi nodded and said: "Come and be my preservative, "Infinite Challenge" really matches you very well, otherwise I wouldn't have been persuading you for the past few days." ”
"Brother Shi, to tell you the truth, I have been staying in the United States because I really have something to do, and now is the critical time to get a movie, at least I can give you an answer after a while." Li Jingming still trusts Liu Zaishi and believes that he will not spread this to others.
"Does it take so long to make a movie in the United States, actor?" Liu Zaishi doesn't believe it, the Hollywood dream is the common obsession of Korean actors, but Americans have never treated Koreans very well, and the Celestial Empire people who mix Hollywood are more than a few grades better than Koreans, and Lee Jingming was in the United States when he had an affair with Kim Tae-hee more than ten days ago, so he has a lot of roles.
"Brother, it's me who makes movies, not me." Li Jingming smiled and corrected Liu Zaishi, "I am an investor and a part-time producer. ”
"It seems that those rumors are not strong enough, what is your body?" Liu Zaishi looked at Li Jingming in surprise, he didn't know how much he invested in making a movie in Hollywood, but there are not many companies with this strength in South Korea, and even fewer individuals, "You won't be the Li family of Samsung?" ”
It's not as long as you are a child of a rich family and you stay away, the most obvious is Li Shengji, he is also a child of a rich family, and all his achievements can be said to be brought out by Jiang Hudong, so Jiang Hudong's praise of Li Shengji has not become a snob, is it Li Shengji who stuffed Jiang Hudong with money? In fact, being optimistic about a person is only pleasing to the eye, and family background and the like are not important at all.
"Hanwha Group brother knows." Li Jingming still gave some hints, believing that Liu Zaishi would not have any change in attitude towards him because of this, so he generously reported home.
When it comes to Korean conglomerates, the first ones that appear in people's minds are Samsung, Lexi Venus, Hyundai, SK and CJ, but Hanwha is not only not worse than these conglomerates, but may even be stronger, because Hanwha controls the energy and military industries in South Korea.
"Sure enough, he was born in a big family, and his temperament is different." Liu Zaishi has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he has seen all kinds of people, and Li Jingming is the most recognized one among young people.
"Brother, when is SBS going to cut "Burst: Spiritual Unification"?" Li Jingming suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.
Liu Zaishi patted Li Jingming's hand with satisfaction, "Your gaze is very sharp, it is estimated that SBS will have this action this year." ”
SBS saw the huge idol market and tasted the sweetness from the idol strategy of "X-man", so after "X-man", it launched this main idol brand program in the hope of continuing its leading position in variety shows, but the idea was haode, but in exchange for a basin of cold water. After experiencing this failure, SBS TV Broadcasting Bureau zuihou realized a truth, if you want to do a variety show, you still need big names like Liu Jae-seok and Jiang Hudong to take the helm.
"What, you're going to fix me over there?" Liu Zaishi came back to his senses, and Li Jingming meant something.
"That's not what I mean, I mean to say that you're still on the rise, brother." Li Jingming said.
Liu Zaishi smiled, "Are you slapping me on the back, it's not that I'm arrogant, how can I rise now that I'm already a national MC, and instigate me to kill Brother Hudong?" ”
The only "national MC" in South Korea that is truly widely recognized and certified by the Performing Artists Association is Yoo Jae-seok and Kang Ho-dong, and many people regard "National MC" simply as a title sought after by everyone, but in fact it is not entirely like this. The South Korean Performing Artists Association classifies the artists, and the salaries of the artists are actually limited by their own rank, similar to the nature of a salary cap, no matter who collects the excess is not recognized by the Performing Arts Association, and is only counted as a private transaction, and the part will be boycotted. For example, Xue Jingqiu's money for filming TV series was far less than that of Pei Yongjungao, but he was banned by the Korean Performing Artists Association, and was scolded by the Korean people and asked for it to be returned, because he "took money that should not have been taken" and asked for the excess. Speaking of "national MC", the remuneration for Yoo Jae-seok and Kang Ho-dong to shoot an episode of variety shows, the Entertainers Association gave a maximum amount of 100 million won, and there are only these two people at this level in the Korean variety show industry, so there is a statement that Yoo Jae-seok and Kang Ho-dong are national MCs recognized by the Entertainers Association.
Now Li Jingming told Liu Zaishi that he still has room to rise, so the only way to do this is to kill Jiang Hudong and dominate this seat alone. Liu Zaishi and Jiang Hudong's personal relationship is very good, better than the degree of close relatives, the two often go to each other's houses to play, Jiang Hudong's mother also treats Liu Zaishi as a son, and now this competitive atmosphere is completely out of work needs.
"Brother's idea is too one-sided, it can't be that he really has the idea of killing Jiang Hudong's predecessors secretly." Li Jingming called Liu Zaishi brother, and Jiang Hudong called senior, "Now the weight of the two of you is almost the same on the variety show map of South Korea, but soon your territory will expand in Brother Shi." ”
"I don't think about any of that, but what does it have to do with you?" Liu Jae-seok has experienced a decade-long "unknown period" (in fact, he is not completely unknown), and he is very satisfied with his current achievements, and rarely thinks about how to go further like other artists.
"In Brother Shi, I am twenty-three years old and twenty-one years old this year, and I have just started on the road after success." Li Jingming smiled brightly, revealing his snow-white teeth.
