Chapter 68: The Fraudster (1)

While he was idle, Haha's phone rang. He smiled when he answered the phone: "My friend has arrived, I'll pick him up."

After seeing Haha go out, Cui Zhengyuan asked, "Brother Shi, what do you think of Haha?"

"It's very good, even if you are still in trouble, you can still plan for your friends, such a person is worth making friends." Liu Zaishi, who has experienced many twists and turns, rarely looks at people, and once he is considered a trustworthy person, he is almost a lifelong friend.

Cui Zhengyuan shook his head and smiled, "Brother, I'm not asking you about haha's personality. I mean, do you think he can have a place in the entertainment show"?

When it comes to his own work, Liu Zaishi is much more cautious, and he mutters for a long time before saying: "If you look at his performance in the show today, it can be said that it is useless." But listening to your setting for him, I think it's very good. Such a positioning is not yet available in China, and I believe it will bring great freshness to the audience. As for whether the haode effect can be achieved, it will be observed for a while longer."

What Liu Zaishi said is an old saying, which does not leak, and it can be said that he has considered it very comprehensively. So Cui Zhengyuan confessed: "That's it, brother, you can bring him more in the next few episodes." Give him something to talk about and let him play and see".

"What? Zhengyuan, do you have a crush on him? Do you want him to join our company?" Liu Zaishi was full of thoughts. He knows very well that Cui Zhengyuan is a guy who can't afford to make a profit, and how strange it is to want him to go on the pole to help someone for no reason.

Being seen through his mind, Cui Zhengyuan is not embarrassed. Originally, he didn't deliberately hide it. "I can't say it for the time being, but I just have a good relationship with him first. After all, he still has a contract, and I'm not a bandit bully, so I can't rob people"?

For Cui Zhengyuan's mind of wanting to be a bitch and setting up an archway, Liu Zaishi knows too well. Speechless, he said: "You, you really don't suffer at all." Whoever is against you, I'm afraid I don't know how to die."

At this moment, the door of the box opened from the outside, and Haha walked in. "Brother Shi, Zhengyuan, I brought my friend here."

"Oh, where are the people? Tell him to come in and warm up, it's so cold outside", Liu Zaishi preemptively beckoned.

Cui Zhengyuan on the side rubbed his nose helplessly, saying that this brother's ability to be a good person is really no one can compare. Haha is here, and his friends must be outside the door. When he said something like this, it was obvious that he would be heard. People who meet for the first time will definitely have a good impression of him when they hear such warm words.

However, isn't this exactly what Cui Zhengyuan wants. The better Liu Zaishi's popularity, the more successful he can be. "Brother Dongxun, let him in."

Unlike Yoo Jae-seok's enthusiasm, Choi Jung-won also maintained a bit of distancing. The next step is like an interview, but if you get close to your friends because of your relationship with Haha, it will be difficult to do a lot of things.

If haha's friends are really talented enough to join A.P, then everyone is happy. But if it doesn't, it's hard to refuse.

Cui Zhengyuan did this, which can be regarded as reserving room for turnaround, which is his principle. If a person is really talented, even if there is no one to recommend him, he will not let it go. If it was a fancy pillow, even if it was someone he got from Lao Tzu, he would still be rejected. He will never affect his business because of his abuse of being a good person, which is the bottom line of a qualified businessman.

After receiving the instructions of the two, Haha beckoned to the door, "Come, come in."

In the room, Choi Jung-won and Yoo Jae-seok's eyes were focused on the door, only to see a man walking in with Haha.

The man who came in with Haha was about 1.80 meters tall and slightly emaciated. Even with a thick velvet hat, he can't hide a big face, and his eyes are like staring at people even if they are casually open, but he can see a little restraint in his gaze. The protruding chin and a large mouth are unforgettable. On the whole, the facial features are very incongruous. It's not ugly, it's just an awkward feeling. The only desirable thing is that the skin is white enough, even compared with Cui Zhengyuan, who has always been pampered, it is slightly better.

The man walked to the edge of the low collapse and saluted respectfully and carefully, "Hello Executive Cui, hello Minister Liu, please take care of us when we meet for the first time." Haha should have introduced him before, perhaps because he was frightened by the identities of the two, so the man seemed a little flustered.

"Hello, since you're a friend of haha, don't be so outward, let's sit down and talk." Yoo greeted him cordially, trying to make him relax.

Haha patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't be nervous, Zhengyuan and Brother Zai Shi are both very kind people, you just behave well." As he spoke, he pulled him to the side of the coffee table.

Cui Zhengyuan poured a cup of tea and brought it to the man, but his eyes kept staring at the big face. I always felt that this man had seen it somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a while. There are only a handful of people in the Korean entertainment industry who have come into contact with him in this life, and Choi Jung-won dares to guarantee that he has never seen this person. Thinking about it again, since he is a friend of Haha, maybe he was also an artist in his previous life. Then I may have seen it in Korean film and television works, so I have a little impression.

"I haven't asked yet, what is this gentleman called"? Out of curiosity, Choi Jung-won began to inquire about his situation.

The man smiled shyly, "My name is Lu Hongzhe, the same age as Haha, and I am still in the service."

After listening to the man's self-introduction, Cui Zhengyuan was stunned. No wonder he looks familiar, and he is indeed a well-known artist. Speaking of this brother's image, anyone who pays attention to Korean variety shows will never forget it.

Lu Hongzhe, who carries out activities with exaggerated non-mainstream dresses, crazy funny methods, wordy and repetitive lines, and the image of a treacherous and cunning "fraudster", has gradually grown into a first-line comedy artist in South Korea in 2012, when Choi Jung-won crossed over.

I didn't expect Haha to recommend it for the first time, so he sent such a great power. The reason why Cui Zhengyuan didn't recognize it at the first time was because Lu Hongzhe was still a soldier and dressed very plainly. His face was also clean, and his trademark beard was not grown. Coupled with the short inch that sticks to the scalp, he can't find any resemblance to the well-known Lu Hongzhe.

Hearing Lu Hongzhe's introduction, Liu Zaishi asked with concern, "Mr. Lu Hongzhe, right?" I heard Dong-hoon say that you also want to be an artist. But you're still a soldier, so what about your military service"?

Although he majored in mechanical information, Lu Hongzhe has always regarded artists as his lifelong pursuit. He and his friends are a group of young people with the same dream, and since they are not yet employed, they don't have much money, so the meeting place is usually under the bridge on the Han River. A group of friends sat around by the dim street lamp, drinking cheap beer and chatting about their dreams for the future. Occasionally, someone comes up with a new funny idea and performs it for everyone to enjoy.

Although everyone has a dream in their heart, for them, becoming an artist is still a distant thing. Until one day, Shin Dong-hyun (i.e. MC Dream), as a pioneer, was finally the first to embark on the path of an artist, which can be regarded as bringing a glimmer of hope to them in confusion. Subsequently, Haha became the second artist in the family to die.

Seeing that the relatives began to be active on the stage of their dreams, Lu Hongzhe, who was bent on making his debut, became even more urgent. He knows that he doesn't have the talent to sing and dance, and it is impossible for him to become a singer like MC Yume and haha. So he set his sights on comedy artists, and watched and learned from the performances of those well-known MCs whenever he had the opportunity. Therefore, it was at that time that Liu Zaishi came into his sight. "Grasshopper"'s relaxed and witty funny approach, and his ability to control the show with weight, fascinated him deeply.

Since then, Yoo Jae-seok has become a benchmark in his heart and a role model to follow. Now, I see my idol sitting in front of me and caring for my situation with my own eyes. Lu Hongzhe, who was a little scared of life, couldn't help but get excited, hurriedly sat up straight, and a series of repetitive words that belonged to instinct appeared unconsciously. "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I'm already zuihou for a year of military service now. I'm about to retire and I need to start planning for my life after service."

Listening to Lu Hongzhe repeating a word several times with a quick mouth, Liu Zaishi couldn't help laughing. "Don't be nervous, speak slowly, don't emphasize, I understand."

The private "stone child" is actually very quiet, and he no longer has the extremely confident appearance in the show. As soon as Liu Zaishi said it, he immediately wilted. His eyes looked at Haha, with a hint of asking for help.

The key is that Haha and Liu Zaishi are not too familiar with each other, and it is already the biggest limit to be able to introduce him. If you talk about anything else, it's a little rude. So, Haha gave him an impotent look back.

Cui Zhengyuan, who has been paying attention, is afraid that Liu Jae-shi's performance will scare Lu Hongzhe, which will cause him to be unable to let go. So he interjected: "That, Mr. Lu Hongzhe, you must already know the purpose of coming here, right?" He decided to steer the conversation on the right track.

Since entering the room, Lu Hongzhe's nerves have not relaxed. He had failed several interviews, but he had already been told by Haha before he came in. How much energy these two people have in front of them in the entertainment industry, even he, a rookie, is shocked. When Liu Zaishi said this again, he became even more nervous. It wasn't until Cui Zhengyuan interjected and diverted his attention that the pressure in his heart was relieved.

Glancing at Haha, who was sitting with him, Lu Hongzhe said, "Yes, Dongxun has already told me. Thank you Executive Director Cui and Minister Liu for giving me this opportunity, and I will definitely do my best to show myself as much as possible."

When it comes to this, it can be seen that Lu Hongzhe is really desperate. The two eyes were opened to the maximum, flashing with a hideous gaze, and the true colors of the "Certain" Sect Master were undoubtedly revealed.
