Chapter 188 Night Talk
As the end of the year approaches, the end of the Blue Dragon Film Festival in November is like the first shot of the year-end awards ceremony dinner. After that, various awards ceremony began to be prepared to invite guests. After all, although the entire Korean entertainment industry seems to be colorful and colorful, the star-studded artists that can be called first-line are always just a small group. Therefore, how to invite those first-line stars with strong popularity and appeal every year has become the top priority for the three major TV stations.
At this time of year, it has also become one of the busiest seasons for artists. They return to the celebrations at the end of the year, or as guests of the performance or as the final winner, or even the entire ceremony is nothing. Although everyone calls the ceremony at the end of the year the organizer’s cake, no one offends, these award ceremony is also the most cruel measure of celebrity popularity. Even if an artist without popularity racks his brains, it may just get a few irrelevant shots at the ceremony. Even if a popular artist doesn’t say a few words during the entire award ceremony, the host and the guests on the scene will intentionally or unintentionally turn the topic to him. This is the most realistic rule in the entertainment industry and even in society...
As the most popular actor in 2007, invitations to An Zai-sing to attend the award ceremony were sent to Song Dahai in the early October. Unlike the indifferent attitude of the ceremonies in 2006, the organizers of this year's ceremony seemed very enthusiastic, but after some screening, Song Dahai and An Zai-sing finally chose to participate in the ceremony invitation of the main battlefield MBC. As for the invitations to other award ceremony, they can only wait for the opportunity next year with great regret. After receiving An Zai-sing's reply, MBC was naturally overjoyed. Although other KBSs and SBSs were disappointed, they could only try harder to invite other artists and stars to their award ceremony. After all, even if An Zai-sing is missing, they are not a big loss for their award ceremony. As the three major Korean TV stations, their background is naturally...
The award ceremony for choosing to star in mbc was naturally the result of a discussion between An Zai-sing and Song Dahai. Although An Zai-sing is very popular this year, in the final analysis, part of the reason is that it comes from the unlimited challenges of mbc's ace variety show. As the owner of the show, he naturally has to participate in the mbc performing arts award. As one of the members of the Unlimited Challenge, An Zai-sing naturally has to attend the hosting ceremony. The acting award cannot be left behind "Coffee Prince No. 1 Store", but it has received many nominations. After all, An Zai-sing's end-of-year ceremony this year was actually on all sides. It is even busier than other ordinary artists.
Of course, this has a lot to do with An Zai-sing's main battlefield this year in MBC. Whether it is the fixed infinite challenge or the TV series he filmed are all made by MBC. Even the only variety show "Knee Taoist" that was invited is also one of the programs under MBC. Although this is a great thing for MBC. After all, there is a first-line star with such a high popularity on his side. However, it is completely harmful to An Zai-sing's development. After all, there is more than MBC in South Korea, and more than MBC's good TV scripts. It is just that for various reasons, this year's MBC is far better than the other two TV stations. It does not mean that An Zai-sing will not appear in other TV stations in the future.
The most taboo thing as an artist is actually to be tied up by the TV station. Although it seems that you can get help from the TV station in the short term, in the long run, it is not easy to leave your destiny to the TV station to control it. It wants you to star in the TV series, without any autonomy. This is also the reason why An Zai-sing became a permanent member of the infinite challenge, but later he refused to reject the invitation of MBC to become a TV station's redirected actor. He never wanted to control his destiny in the hands of others.
...
It was still the dilapidated alley. A few seats were placed casually in a dilapidated small restaurant. This store seemed to be a little old. The originally snow-white walls had been smoked by the smoke for many years, and it was like an old photo. Looking around, the only thing that seemed to be brand new in this small barbecue restaurant was the photo of the white-haired boss hanging on the wall. The exaggerated body movements and the happy smile that everyone would hang in the photo. The hanging photo appeared in the photo that Ahn Zai had just joined the infinite challenge in 2006. The background of the photo was actually the door of the dilapidated restaurant.
"Brother, I'm here~" Seoul's bone-chilling coldness in December swept across this busy city without any scruples, forcing people to put on thick clothes and a black coat on their bodies. At the door of the small restaurant that An Zai came to, shouting to the familiar back inside through the blurred restaurant door, his tone as familiar as usual.
"Ah, Jae-sing, you're here..." It seemed that there was something to worry about. Although he had already ordered barbecue, he didn't have the awareness of cutting down his chopsticks in Yoo Jae-sing's eyes. He kept turning over the golden pork belly that had been roasted on the iron plate. This national mc who had always had a kind smile on his face rarely showed a look of worrying about gains and losses. Until An Jae-sing had arrived in front of him, Yoo Jae-sing seemed to react and showed a reluctant smile and said to An Jae-sing, "Come on, drink with me..."
Although he raised the wine glass in his hand to drink with An Jae-sing, the so-called "wine" held in Yoo Jae-suk was just a carbonated drink. I don't know when he started to stop drinking and even smoking became extremely rare. Even in the infinitely challenging dinner, he only used Coke as a substitute. Park Myung-soo kept saying that he wanted him to relax a little more easily, but the effect was very little. Even if he had dinner with friends, he became the calmest and rational person. It was boring. This is what Jung Joon-ha defined him when drinking.
The members of the infinite challenge have more or less shortcomings. Haha likes to smoke. Sometimes there are more than a dozen fingers a day, and even their fingers are smoked, and some are yellow and full of nicotine. Jung Hyung-don is too tired and a little afraid of being sick. Even after being together for nearly two years now, sometimes it is a bit embarrassing to be with An Jae-sing. Park Myung-soo is a little too direct, although he is unintentional, sometimes people will hurt him without knowing it. Even An Jae-sing sometimes makes people worry because he is too stubborn...
However, Yoo Jae-suk was correcting his shortcomings bit by bit. Although this made the infinite challenge members and An Jae-suk admire him very much, they also began to worry. When Soxing was with the members, Yoo Jae-suk was still Yoo Jae-suk, and he would joke and nag.
"Brother Zai Shi, where are the other members, Brother Haha, Brother Hongzhe and others?" Looking at the side dishes in front of him and the golden pork belly roasted in the middle of the table, An Zai Shi asked Yoo Jae Shi in front of him, who was empty around him. He asked Yoo Jae Shi, who usually challenged the meal early to arrive early, and no one saw this today, only Yoo Jae Shi was dazed at the plate of barbecue.
"Oh~ They, Hongzhe, Mingxiu, and the others did not come here. Today I specially asked you to come out and have something to tell you..." A helpless expression was obviously on her face, which made An Jae-sing, who was opposite her look real. What exactly made Brother Jae-shi so embarrassed?
"Brother Zai Shi, just say anything." An Zai Shi has always been very grateful for this brother who has been by his side to encourage him to help him when he was humble. Therefore, when he saw Yoo Zai Shi's hesitation this time, he immediately spoke to him.
"Actually, Jae-sing..." Seeing An Jae-sing speaking, Yoo Jae-suk seemed to have made up his mind to start narrating the whole story. It turned out that all this was related to the variety show formats of the three major TV stations. MBC, which originally did not attach much importance to variety shows, became the king of Saturday variety shows with the emergence of "infinite challenge". KBS's recent new Zhouri variety show "Two Days and One Nights" has also gradually grown and vaguely even became the number one in Zhouri variety shows. As for SBS, which has always been known as the variety show kingdom, with the end of "Xman"'s "love letter" until now, since SBS has not had a variety show ace that can be shown, it naturally began to get up and start planning a new variety show.
"So, I came to me on xman's program pd, hoping to collaborate on a new variety show again..."
After finding Yoo Jae-suk, this is another inevitable result. After all, the two outdoor variety shows of MBC and KBS are now hosted by two national MCs. Compared with other hosts Kim Ji-dong or Shin Dong-ye, who know nothing about outdoor variety shows, Yoo Jae-suk and Kang Ho-dong, who have obviously come into contact with and have achieved certain results, it is more suitable for Yoo Jae-suk and Kang Ho-dong. Yoo Jae-suk has a good relationship with SBS itself. His current achievements are closely related to the hosting of "Xman".
"And that new program's pd still hopes that Jae-sing can become a regular member of the program... "This is one of the reasons why Yoo Jae-sing feels embarrassed. After all, he himself does not have much resistance to opening a new variety show. Instead, the program's pd asked him to make An Jae-sing a fixed member to make him embarrassed. However, because of his friendship with the program's pd since "xman", Yoo Jae-sing could only bite the bullet and ask Jae-sing out to speak. As expected, the most difficult thing in the world is to repay the debt of favors.
You should know that with An Zai-sing's popularity, even the variety show "Infinite Challenge" can no longer be starred. After all, actors can only get a lot of popularity when they meet good works. Therefore, in Korea, as long as they are first-line actors rarely appear in variety shows. Although An Zai-sing didn't say it, members of the Infinite Challenge know that he is now staying in the Infinite Challenge more for them.
Yoo Jae-suk is naturally aware of this, so he feels so embarrassed and even feels a little frowning when inviting An Jae-sung to appear in a new variety show. This is not just a simple act as a guest. As the name suggests, fixed members are members who must gather together every week or month for fixed shooting. You should know that shooting variety shows is a huge consumption of time and effort. An Jae-sung has absolutely no reason to refuse his invitation.
As a program's PDF, he naturally knew how difficult it was to invite An Jae-sing to become a regular member of the new program. Even before that, KBS sent an invitation, hoping that An Jae-sing could become a member of the variety show "Two Days and One Nights" hosted by Kang Ho-dong, but he was flatly rejected. Although there may be other factors involved, it is not difficult to see An Jae-sing's opinion on variety show invitations, even if so, even with one thousandth of hope, the program PDF still motivated Yoo Jae-sing to invite the other party. After all, a large part of the reason for their latest outdoor variety show is because of An Jae-sing's performance in other programs. If the other party can join, then the program will cooperate with Yoo Jae-sing's hosting. Although the program cannot be said to be successful, it still has 70% hope.
"Brother Jae-shi, what kind of variety show is the show that SBS is going to do?" Although An Jae-sing was surprised, she did not flatly refuse the variety show invitation from Yoo Jae-sing. In his opinion, this is also an opportunity, an opportunity to get out of the mbc tag. Of course, if you just don't want to be fixed under mbc, An Jae-sing doesn't have to be so troublesome. More importantly, he doesn't want to make things difficult for Yoo Jae-sing who has been helping him.
"The format of the program is similar to the variety show model of Hu Dong Ge in KBS's "two days and one night", but the difference is that Hu Dong Ge and the others ask members to go to places with remote areas where there are not many people. The new program of SBS is "let the members of the program go to various places in South Korea for two days and one night of rural life..." With Yoo Jae-suk's explanation, An Jae-sing also roughly understood the theme of the program, which is to let idols experience rural life. Each episode of the program invites a popular idol, showing a completely different rural image in the program to attract the attention of fans. In general, this creativity is quite two points.
