Chapter 763: Popular Ballads (I)
"Jin Shengyuan and Jiang Hudong join hands again to create a heavyweight variety show!"
"After two years, Kim Sung-won is back on SBS TV again, looking forward to it!"
"Jiang Hudong and Jin Shengyuan's talk shows, the precursor of the coming tide of talk variety shows!"
……
It's no secret that Kim Sung-won and Kang Ho-dong are working on a new program with SBS TV, and SBS TV is also warming up for the new show, so the news was quickly published in various media.
In the entertainment industry, there are many "golden partners", Kim Sung-won and Jiang Hudong are one of the more famous groups, and now the ratings of "Two Days and One Night" have averaged about 35% for several consecutive months, and the cooperation between the two can be said to have created the history of Korean variety shows. Of course, Li Xiugen and others have a lot of credit, but the two of them are the main MC, and the media reporters naturally gave most of the credit to the two.
Regarding the matter of Jiang Hudong and Kim Sung-won teaming up with SBS TV this time, the variety show bureaus of KBS TV and MBC TV couldn't help but have a little panic.
Since the beginning of 2008, variety shows have shown a vigorous development trend like a hundred schools of thought, accounting for an increasing proportion of major TV stations, and now in the shrinking situation of Korean TV dramas and movies, it has become an indispensable part of the overseas "Korean Wave".
To exaggerate a little, there are variety shows on major TV stations that are being born and canceled almost every day! Life and death are like mayflies.
Because the three major TV stations have their own ace variety shows, and the cost of hiring hosts like Jiang Hudong and Jin Shengyuan at the same time is too high. Therefore, the three major TV stations have been developing with such a competitive trend. Unexpectedly, SBS TV suddenly attacked hard, how not to panic the variety bureaus of the other two TV stations?
The change in the variety show pattern will bring a series of chemical reactions. Almost Yujian, once Jiang Hudong and Kim Sung-won's new show is a big success, then the variety show industry will immediately set off a wave of "talk show" frenzy.
And what are the chances of success for Jiang Hudong and Kim Sung-won to host the "talk show"? A survey conducted by a website showed. Almost more than eighty percent of viewers think that the two of them's new show will be a success!
Jiang Hudong, a veteran national MC, has been recognized by everyone.
Kim Sung-won. It has been praised by TV PDs, artists, and audiences for being the first in the country for many times!
It can be said that as long as nothing unexpected happens, the success of the two is basically within reach. SBS TV is also ambitiously doing various publicity and paving the way for the new program.
But. This incident has aroused the dissatisfaction of the other party - the Korean Television and Film Artists Association! Before July 1, 2009, the three major TV stations had already owed more than 7 billion won to the artist's salary! Although SBS TV is in the best situation, it is also in arrears of nearly 900 million won. Moreover, this is still when the actor's salary has been greatly reduced.
The Artists Association has repeatedly asked the three major TV stations for arrears, but each time it has ended without a problem. In this situation, SBS TV suddenly produces a new program on a large scale, and they will of course be unhappy.
SBS TV didn't expect that because of a variety show, it would cause dissatisfaction with the artist association, and the two sides started a war of words again.
……
Kim Sung-won heard Han Jimin's story. Just laughing at it, this kind of thing has little to do with him, and his brokerage company has not even been registered with the brokers' association.
How he treats the company's artists and employees is obvious to all! Although his life was somewhat luxurious, he was not greedy for money. On the contrary, it is very generous. As far as this economic crisis is concerned, there are very few companies that have not reduced staff and salaries, but he has done it, and although the management of artists follows the rules of the entertainment industry, he has integrated his own unique humanized management. …,
It is precisely because of this that the owners of the company have not been touched by the exposure of his mansion. At most, Zheng Zhuyuan, Yin Enhui and others will tease him enviously.
In the production of the TV series "Splendid Legacy", the salaries of many actors, even directors and screenwriters, were not high, coupled with the super high ratings, it can be said that it was a great success, and it was naturally impossible for him to owe the actors' salaries.
Therefore, in this turmoil, he and his agency are basically in a free position.
The only thing that gave him a bit of a headache was the TV series "Shijie They Live" starring Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo together last year, and he is still owed half of his salary. But Hyun Bin was still in the original brokerage company at that time, so there was some trouble.
Kim Sung-won also negotiated with KBS TV about this matter, but KBS TV was worried that if this precedent was set, they would be overwhelmed by debt collectors, so he insisted on the excuse that Hyun Bin was not at his agency at that time. Because Hyun Bin's will was not very strong, he did not trouble Jiang Zhiyu either. His connections at KBS TV are mainly in various departments of music and variety shows, and he doesn't know many people in the TV drama department.
……
"It's time to go, Shengyuan OPPA!" Han Jimin saw Jin Shengyuan crossing his hands again and falling into deep thought, and woke him up a little helplessly.
"Oh." Kim Sung-won nodded, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then packed his things and went to SBS TV to participate in the recording of "Popular Songs".
The broadcast time of "Popular Ballads" is relatively early, at 15:40 in the afternoon, so many singers need to go to rehearsals very early.
"Popular Ballads" on August 16 is his farewell stage! Although occasionally he will be very idle, but once the program in his hand is connected, he will also be busy in the dark, and now he has to record a new program, so he will say goodbye to the music stage.
The hosts of "Popular Ballads" have also changed, and they are no longer the three of Yin Zhiyuan, but co-hosted by 2PM's Yu Zeyan, Jang Woo Young, and Jewelry's Ha Joo-yeon.
When Kim Sung-won arrived at the backstage standby room of "Popular Ballads," rehearsals had already begun — as he always did, as long as he had enough time, he rarely went out of his way to arrive early. For him, waiting a long time in advance is not polite, but a waste of time.
In the corridor backstage, a group of artists and staff walked back and forth, and some friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time took this opportunity to exchange feelings.
It's hilarious!
"Hello Shengyuan OPPA."
"Brother Shengyuan, hello."
"Hello, senior."
……
On the way to the waiting room, almost all the artists who saw Kim Sung-won bowed down to greet him--the seniors who had been debuting for a long time would hardly stand in the corridor to talk--Kim Sung-won chuckled and nodded to greet everyone.
"Huh?" Kim Sung-won suddenly spotted Taeyeon and Tiffany on the side of the corridor, and the two of them were talking to Ok Taek-yeon and Jang Woo-young as hosts.
Tiffany is very familiar with both of them, especially Yu Zeyan knew each other before her debut, plus because of her own personality, so she is basically dominating the topic.
Not knowing what Yu Zeyan said to her, Tiffany suddenly laughed and reached out and patted Yu Zeyan's arm a few times.
Jang Woo-young, who was on the side, seemed to shrug his shoulders to Taeyeon helplessly, showed a smile, and opened his mouth to say, "Taeyeon, you ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw Kim Sung-won walking straight over, stretched out a hand to hold Taeyeon's head, and gently flicked it.
Taeyeon was listening, but suddenly felt a hand on her head, and then a force came, and she couldn't help but turn back.
"Senior Jin Shengyuan, hello." Yu Zeyan and Zhang Yourong bowed to greet at the same time.
"Shengyuan OPPA!" Tiffany saw him as well and laughed and screamed.
"Hello." Jin Shengyuan nodded, looked at Yu Zeyan and Zhang Yourong and asked, "No rehearsal?" "As hosts, they should always proofread the stage. …,
Of course, maybe he was kind enough to remind (?) But obviously, in the ears of several people, it was clear that they were rushing Yu Zeyan and Zhang Yourong to leave.
"Take a break for a while!" Yu Zeyan suddenly laughed, gestured with his hand and said. Forget about the last time, after all, they were the ones who lost first. But now, even if Jin Shengyuan is a senior and very popular, what is it to obviously interrupt their communication with their friends like this? Although they are juniors, they are not without human rights!
Zhang Yourong obviously felt Yu Zeyan's resistance, and was slightly stunned, but then he also smiled and nodded in agreement.
Jin Shengyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile in the corner of his eyes suddenly dissipated a little, but then he nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay to take a rest." Taeyeon took his hand.
Tiffany blinked a little inexplicably, and she felt a slight hint of something strange.
"OPPA, where's Sister Jimin?" Taeyeon looked left and right and didn't find Han Jimin's figure, so he asked curiously. She had only seen it not long ago, and there was no one in Jin Shengyuan's waiting room.
"Jimin has gone to the waiting room." Jin Shengyuan said.
"It just so happens that I'm looking for Sister Jimin for something, so OPPA will take me there." Taeyeon said with a smile and clapping her hands.
"Good!" Jin Shengyuan nodded to Yu Zeyan and turned to leave.
"Huh? What about me? Tiffany hadn't figured out the situation yet, and blinked a little cutely. How did she end up here? When did Taeyeon say she was looking for Jimin's sister?
"Stingy!" Taeyeon took two quick steps to keep up with Kim Sung-won's footsteps and muttered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Humph!" Jin Shengyuan snorted from his nostrils, which was considered a default.
"Hello Shengyuan OPPA." At this time, Kim Hyun-ah walked over to him, bowed to Kim Sung-won and said, "Hello, senior Taeyeon." ”
"Hello." Taeyeon bows back.
"Hyuna," Kim Sung-won paused, looked at Hyuna, who was much more mature than before, and stretched out his hand to her, "Fighting!" ”
"xiexie Shengyuan OPPA!" Hyuna's face suddenly showed a look of emotion, and she said seriously. Because this is not the first time, almost every time Jin Shengyuan sees her, he will cheer for her!
"Humph!" After Hyuna leaves, Taeyeon suddenly snorts. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
