Chapter 44: Kim Jidong's Help

At a café in Seoul's Gangnam district, Kim Sung-won sat quietly in the corner, and shortly after Jessica and the others left, he received a call from Kim Ji-dong asking him to meet here.

"Brother Jidong, here." Jin Jidong's iconic glasses appeared in Jin Shengyuan's sight, and he suddenly realized that Brother Jidong was real

Like Yun Ho said, it was very similar to a rogue rabbit, and the smile on the corner of Kim Sung-won's mouth couldn't help but expand a point.

"Shengyuan," Jin Jidong put on a little makeup, but his short and clever image was still conspicuous, fortunately, there were not many people in the café, and the waiter was probably a young man, so he didn't pay attention to him.

"Brother, why did you suddenly ask me to meet here?" Although Kim Sung-won has a good relationship with Kang Ho-dong, Yoo Jae-seok, and Kim Ji-dong, Kim Je-dong's personality determines that he has the least contact with Kim Sung-won among the three.

"Well, there's something to discuss with you," Kim Jidong habitually pushed his glasses and said.

"What's the matter? Brother," Jin Shengyuan asked after the waiter had set up the coffee and left.

"I want to help you fight for the position of X-MAN's auxiliary MC, do you have any confidence?" Jin Jidong ignored the coffee in front of him, looked at Jin Shengyuan and said.

"X-MAN's secondary MC?" Jin Shengyuan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Is it Brother You or Brother Hudong?" ”

"I," Kim Ji-dong said with a slightly depressed expression, "I will leave X-MAN at the end of this year, it has been confirmed." ”

“weishenme? X-MAN is now the No. 1 variety show in the national ratings, brother you weishenme left? Jin Shengyuan asked in a row.

"Some things can't be changed, even if you tell them, it's useless," Jin Jidong waved his hand lightly and said: "Don't worry about my problem, now is the most critical opportunity in your life, to be able to jump from an ordinary regular guest to the auxiliary MC of the first variety show, this is a step that most funny artists need five to ten years to take, you must not miss it." ”

Jin Shengyuan was slightly in a trance, on the one hand, because of the sudden surprise, on the other hand, because of Jin Jidong's sentence "Even if you tell you, it's useless". Indeed, now he is just an ordinary funny artist, a "cutting-edge composer" who has bloomed for a short time, what can he help Jin Jidong with such an identity?

Jin Jidong was not surprised when he saw Jin Shengyuan, but he was a little depressed, and he was also a little moved in his heart, got up and patted Jin Shengyuan on the shoulder, and said: "Don't waste your energy, even Park PD can't help me with my affairs, let alone you as a newcomer." All you need to do now is go all out for this position! ”

"Yes, brother, what should I do?" Jin Shengyuan gathered his thoughts, straightened his body and asked Jin Jidong.

"Your shortcomings now are obvious: First, your qualifications are too shallow, and you don't have the experience and reputation of being an MC, but fortunately, you made your debut early and have just finished serving in Dokdo, so you have a good image among the people. The other is your age, you are only 22 years old this year, and I am afraid that this problem will be criticized by many people. Jin Jidong analyzed.

"I've always looked older in makeup on the show, and not too many people should be able to recognize my age." Jin Shengyuan said with a frown.

"I'm afraid that there will be a lot of publicity, and as soon as the news of my imminent departure spreads, there will definitely be many companies staring at this position, and your most important problem will be exposed - no company background, no haode agent mediation." Jin Jidong shook his head and said.

"Sure enough." Jin Shengyuan was most worried about his own problem, and his mouth was a little bitter, he originally hoped to work hard with Jiang Hudong and the three of them for two or three years, and then he could win the MC of the first-line variety show. Unexpectedly, Brother Jidong would leave at this time.

"However, your advantage is also obvious, and serving in Dokdo for two years alone is enough to make the people look at you differently, even the TV station has to take this into account. And you have a good relationship with Hudong Zaishi and the staff of the program team, and you are very hopeful to work hard! Of course, it is impossible for Kim Jidong to just describe Kim Sung-won's shortcomings, and it is also important for him to recognize his strengths.

"At that time, I decided to go to the service, and it was really the most important decision in my life," Jin Shengyuan sighed slightly.

"I, Hudong and Zaishi will help you with their personal relationships, all you have to do now is to show yourself with all your strength in the show, and I will gradually put the power of the auxiliary MC into your hands, you have to perform better than me." Seeing that Jin Shengyuan was not too frustrated, Jin Jidong continued. …,

"Thank you, Brother Jidong," Jin Shengyuan perked up slightly and said gratefully. Jiang Hudong and the three of them were able to help him with their personal connections, which made him very grateful. In the Korean entertainment industry, almost every word and deed of artists is under the constraints of the brokerage company, and it is not easy for Hu Dongge to do this.

"You're at ease now, but it's not enough, the next time you record the show, you stand next to me, and you have to be stronger, take the initiative, you know?" Jin Jidong admonished.

"Xiexie Brother Jidong!" Kim Sung-won thanked him again from the bottom of his heart.

"But, Brother Jidong, can't PD Park help?" Jin Shengyuan paused and asked hesitantly.

"Can't! Although Park PD has a good relationship with us, he represents SBS TV, and he may be able to take care of you a little, but it is absolutely impossible to help you in this matter, and if you take the initiative to ask him for help, you will be left with a bad impression, so don't mention this point again. Jin Jidong saw that Jin Shengyuan said all the thoughts in his heart and discussed it with him, and he felt even more that he was not looking at the wrong person.

"But you've helped the X-MAN show a lot, and that's definitely going to be taken into account by PD Park, and you just need to prove that you're up to the position now."

"I see, Brother Jidong." Jin Shengyuan said.

After the conversation with Kim Ji-dong, Kim Sung-won had several exchanges with Kang Ho-dong and the three of them before recording X-MAN.

On the afternoon of September 18, the recording of the 19th episode of X-MAN was finally ushered in.

What is different from the past is that Kim Sung-won stood by Kim Jidong's side, a position that has always been occupied by female guests.

……

"Welcome to the founding hero of X-MAN, Yin Zhiyuan!" Liu Zaishi introduced, "Yin Zhiyuan, how are you doing lately? ”

"First of all, I'm challenging for the Kim record," Yin said, shaking his body. Yin Zhiyuan, who used to be the captain of the Korean idol boy group "Crystal Boy", did not have a smooth acting career after the team disbanded, and is now working hard to develop in variety shows, movies and other aspects.

"Which record of the Kim family?" Liu Jae-seok cooperated and made a curious gesture.

"It took two years to make a movie." Yin Zhiyuan replied.

"Haha......," already the guests laughed.

"Well, this movie is a collaboration with Lin Enjing." Yin Zhiyuan continued to explain.

"Brother Zhiyuan, I heard that during the filming of this movie, Miss Lin Enjing released three movies, is it true?" Jin Shengyuan asked suddenly.

"Uh," Yin Zhiyuan made an embarrassed look and nodded.

"Haha......" everyone daxiao for a while.

"Well, I said the camera director, don't always point the camera at our Sister Youngen, okay? If you like Sister Yingen, I can help you get an autograph during the break. Jin Shengyuan accidentally glanced at a camera in front of him that paused slightly in front of Li Yingen, and immediately said with some dissatisfaction.

"Yikes! Why do you say you're like this? When everyone was daxiao, Liu Zaishi, who had always been single and very sensitive to this, immediately "reprimanded" the camera director, and the camera director cooperated with him lowering his head and covering his face with a hat, with an embarrassed look.

"Let's welcome the newcomer who will receive more attention in 2004, Miss Lee Young-ah!" After the reprimand, Liu Zaishi continued to introduce the next guest.

"Hello everyone, I'm Li Yingya, mainly filming." Lee Young-ah, a newcomer who debuted last year, introduced herself a little shyly.

"The masterpiece is X-MAN, so you can pay more attention to it." Kim Sung-won made annotations.

"Well, my masterpiece is X-MAN, which will be mainly filming in the future, I hope you will pay more attention." Li Yingya reacted very quickly, and hurriedly took over the conversation and introduced herself again.

"Yikes!" Everyone was stunned, Liu Zaishi reacted, leaned back and smiled back, and Jiang Hudong covered his face with his hands embarrassed.

"In terms of variety shows, our show is more famous, so it has become a masterpiece." Jin Shengyuan got to know the guests and explained with a smile.

"Didn't Miss Li Yingya make her debut in 2003 with the show "Natural Fate" hosted by Hudong?" Kim Jidong asked as if he had suddenly come to his senses.

"Yikes!" Jiang Hudong screamed, as if he wanted to find Jin Jidong desperately.

Jin Jidong cooperated and shrank his body and hid behind Jin Shengyuan, but now it is Jin Shengyuan standing on Liu Zaishi's left hand.

Jin Shengyuan confronted Jiang Hudong with a "righteous and angry" look. …,

Liu Zaishi made a look of wanting to stop Jiang Hudong but didn't dare, and suddenly found that Jiang Hudong returned to his original position with some cringe, looked at Jin Shengyuan and Jiang Hudong curiously, and said: "Brother Hudong seems to be a little afraid of Shengyuan, don't you often say that Shengyuan is your own brother?" ”

"Humph!" Jiang Hudong snorted and ignored Liu Zaishi.

Yoo Jae-seok pushed his eyes awkwardly and continued to introduce the guests.

……

During the unity riding, Jiang Hudong was "angry" and was blocked back by Jin Shengyuan again.

"Brother Hu Dong is really afraid of Shengyuan, weishenme?" Liu Zaishi followed Jiang Hudong again, babbling in his ear.

"Yikes! Can you try to lift me up with one hand, and not be afraid? Jiang Hudong finally couldn't help but put Liu Zaishi to the ground.

"Really?" All the guests looked at Kim Sung-won with a look of surprise. Although Kim Sung-won's bronzed skin gives people a very healthy feeling, he doesn't have the strong muscles of Kim Jong-kook, and Jiang Hudong's statement is really hard to believe.

As if he had discovered big news, Liu Zaishi got up and pulled Jin Shengyuan and Jiang Hudong with a grunt, and asked the two of them to demonstrate it on the spot.

Jiang Hudong reluctantly hung on Jin Shengyuan's left arm, and then Jin Shengyuan slowly lifted him.

"Really! Amazing, Shengyuan! Liu Zaishi, Jin Jidong and the guests gathered around and screamed in surprise.

"Yikes! Now I don't have to be afraid of Hudong anymore," Jin Jidong stepped forward with a smile, pushed Jiang Hudong, who had just stood up straight, and then hugged one of Jin Shengyuan's arms and said.

"Haha......" Everyone looked at Jin Jidong's "villain's ambition" and Jiang Hudong's "grievance" expressions for the first time, and laughed non-stop.

……

Kim Sung-won's "of course" game has now become a symbol of the highest ratings of Korean variety shows, causing countless topics on the Internet.

The two sides are arguing with each other to see who can be more patient and more venomous.

"Here's Jiang Hudong vs. Kong Jiongzhen! Two please. Liu Zaishi introduced.

As soon as Kong Jiongzhen stood up, Jin Shengyuan leaned into his ear and whispered something.

"What? Shengyuan, what are you doing? Jiang Hudong suddenly shouted with a flustered face, "Liu Jae-seok MC, I ask for a warning to Kim Sung-won to interfere with the game!" ”

"Hehe," Kim Sung-won took a step back with a smile on his face and put his arm around Kim Ji-dong's shoulder.

"You have a purple seal, right?" With Kong Jiongzhen's words, Jiang Hudong fell down directly, and the entire studio was suddenly filled with laughter.

Note: Purple Seal - The grade seal of Korean raw pork.
