The Rise of Korean Entertainment

It's still a long time before the show officially starts. The recording time they set is at 1pm, and the estimated recording time is six to eight hours. But because it's the first episode, no one has a clue, so the notice is all Everyone spares time in the day.

The most popular girls and Yoo Jae Suk are fine. As for the chefs, they wish they could miss work every day. There is not only one chef in a restaurant, so they just come here to rest.

"This is my first time to record a program on a cable TV station. It really feels fresh!"

"Just let me brag about this! If you go out and say it, you'll get beaten!" Li Menglong complained speechlessly. Is it worth showing off that Liu Zaishi didn't come to the cable TV station to record the program? Did the wireless station not invite Yoo Jae Suk?

Of course not. It’s just that Yoo Jae-seok doesn’t like variety shows on cable channels. Of course, as a national MC, he also has the confidence. The three major wireless stations’ programs are lining up to hire him. To put it bluntly, there are many variety show directors who are counting on him. Man, Wu Chao should finish it as soon as possible, so as to free up Liu Jae Suk's schedule and let people like them cling to the light of the great god.

In fact, Yoo Jae Suk's current program is very full. In terms of influence and energy, he will not consider taking on new programs at all. However, isn't this the face of Lee Meng Yong? It also has strategic significance as a first shot for the company. , of course, it also officially proves that the steps of the big devil Yoo Jae Suk have reached the last piece of pure land of variety shows.

"Just thank me. If it weren't for me, would you have had the opportunity to record such a relaxing show?" Li Menglong took the opportunity to start asking for credit, but he also had a factual basis. Compared with Running Man and No Challenge, this show is more important to Liu Jae Suk. It's like the spring breeze is blowing on my face.

It can be said that after so many years of acting, this show is definitely the most relaxing one. The indoor recording is not afraid of bad weather; there are only two guests in each episode, and the interview session only takes a few hours, and he does not need to control the rhythm himself. Just follow the script; the highlight of the second half is with the chef, and Liu Jae Suk just plays the drums and is responsible for the food.

Tired? Except that the time may be longer, it is almost like going on vacation. Although Liu Zaishi thinks so, he can't just say it, otherwise what about the favor? Is it possible that he would continue to owe Li Menglong a favor when he came to help record the show?

The two brothers began to have a heated exchange on this issue. The staff watching on the side kept pouting. It would be a waste in private to talk about such a wonderful scene on the show.

While the chatter was going on here, the guests at the other end had already rushed over. Naturally, they were not girls. They must have just started washing their hair. In fact, many problems can be seen from the time spent waiting here.

To put it simply, the earlier you come, the smaller the seats will be. Girls who are busy may not have time to come early, and sometimes the program team even has to accommodate their schedules. However, this practice is not very applicable today, or it should be tried out partially.

The invited chefs are definitely at the level of emperors and superstars in the catering industry, but this is their first time to record a show. These people don't even have an agent. If they have familiar artists, they can ask for a little advice, otherwise they will be disappointed when they come here. The situation is confusing.

Some of them came here dressed in community attire, thinking that the program crew would provide them with the clothes they agreed to; some brought several suits of their own and didn't think there was anything wrong with wearing them for cooking; some had their hair trimmed several days in advance. , and some went to the beauty salon early in the morning...

But without exception, this group of people came here several hours in advance. Li Menglong came to deal with the chores on site, while Liu Zaishi wanted to take a careful look at the script. After all, he was the one who would lead the conversation. Li Menglong I'm just responsible for talking.

Now that they are here, the staff will naturally lead them here. Isn't it right for guests or members to visit the main MC and PD? Naturally, Li Menglong and Yoo Jae-seok were a little surprised and hurriedly stood up to say hello. Li Menglong acted as a middleman to introduce each other to everyone. There are only people here that he and this group of people know.

"How can Menglong eat this? We are recording a show together and let the director and MC eat kimbap? This will be laughed at. Wait a minute and I will ask the store to bring you some food!" Sam Jinyi He smiled with an honest face, but his words were still quite grand. He was someone who had appeared on several programs here, so he felt more at ease.

The other chefs mainly didn't react. Now that someone started, everyone naturally called the store. Who doesn't have a restaurant behind him? To be more utilitarian, this can be regarded as building a reputation in jtbc and attracting potential customers.

How could Li Menglong let them spend money, especially when they were comparing each other? He might get whatever was more expensive. In the end, he simply took them to the studio, just in time to let them adapt to the stove in advance. What's wrong with that? The material and program team were well prepared, with the entire JTBC canteen as a back-up.

As for the chefs, they were naturally responsible. Each person had two big pots of food. In just half an hour, the scene was like a buffet. Li Menglong and Liu Zaishi simply sat in the host position and started eating. The staff were naturally not polite. , at least much better than the canteen. Do the master chefs in the canteen have the qualifications of these people?

I don’t even know who broke the news. It didn’t take long for the leaders of jtbc to form a group. They were nominally concerned about the operation of the new program. Li Menglong didn’t bother to say hello. Anyway, everyone’s purpose was the same: the food is real. tasty!

Naturally, there was nothing when the girls arrived, but the chefs would not make the same mistake a second time. Not long after the girls arrived, various restaurants came to deliver food one after another, leaving the girls very confused. I'm sorry.

In fact, it can be understood by analogy. Didn't the girls also prepare signed albums to give to the chefs? The industries are different, so the gifts for polite greetings are naturally different. The girls feel that sending food is a bit expensive, and the chefs are a little scared after receiving the albums. Woolen cloth.

After all, these chefs are not too old, so many people have the presence of girls in their music memories, so when the girls visited the chefs' waiting room, the scene was very lively.

As for Li Menglong, he doesn’t know. He is currently staring at the scene, constantly instructing the staff to make final adjustments. The entire studio is constantly echoing with Li Menglong holding a loudspeaker and shouting: "Confirm the camera position at the top again." , it stopped moving during the filming; the gas bottle on the stove must be replaced with a new one; the stove must be clean; go and personally confirm whether the chefs' chef uniforms are in place? Our program only provides uniform aprons..."

Li Menglong's feet were on the host's stage. He tilted the chair up and supported it with the two legs behind him. He was attracting hatred at the scene. It was not that Li Menglong didn't want to go there, but because he was not familiar with it. Li Menglong found that these people were a little afraid of him. After he passed by, everyone became more nervous.

The girls behind him curled their lips, feeling that Li Menglong was very deliberate, but it must be said that Li Menglong was quite a man at this time, especially when one person directed a team of dozens of people in an orderly manner. As expected, men at work are the most handsome.

However, the girls obviously did not come here specifically to admire Li Menglong's working style. It is not that they have never seen him before. They are here as guests to visit the PD. This is necessary as long as time permits. As for the words, they are just asking the PD to take care of him. Category.

It's just that they came together to ask Li Menglong to take care of them. The scene was very weird for a while, so in order to make everyone less embarrassed, Kim Taeyeon took the lead and pressed down the back of the chair. The momentary feeling of weightlessness made Li Menglong immediately raise his hands and Trying to maintain balance on his feet, he saw the girls snickering from an inverted perspective.

"What do you mean? Everyone is really crazy, right? You dare to do this to PD, are you..."

"Go on, do you look down on the director? Do you not want to record? Do you want to go home?" Li Shunkyu on the other end said Li Menglong's innermost thoughts very neatly, but Li Menglong couldn't say these words, after all, he was This is the show that Li Menglong begged other girls to appear on.

"What's your day?" Kim Taeyeon laughed and shook the chair again, causing Li Menglong to immediately raise his hands in a gesture of surrender. Although the staff on the side were watching, no one came up to help.

I didn’t realize that it was my own family that was making a fuss. If I really thought that Li Menglong, as PD, couldn’t control the guests, then I can only say that this person was too arrogant. Moreover, the fight was just a fight, and the girls didn’t even say hello to each other. Vague.

He bowed loudly and said hello to the staff in several directions, and then greeted Li Menglong alone: ​​"Hello PD Li, we are Girls' Generation, please give me a lot of thanks for this episode!"

Seeing the girls across from each other holding back their laughter, Li Menglong wondered if he should say something. However, he had never been a variety show PD, so he could only recall the time when the director took the girls to other shows. How did you answer it?

Yoona really couldn't stand it anymore, and after a while they were about to laugh: "Oppa quickly said: It's okay, I should ask you to do it. I hope you can show your best in this episode!"

Li Menglong can be regarded as being tricked out of the shadows, so when he speaks, he pauses and pays attention to the expressions of the people around him. Once everyone starts laughing, he immediately stops it. Fortunately, this time Yoona has a rare conscience. Well, in fact, in front of so many people, it was impossible for the girls to let him embarrass himself.

After checking around again and confirming that there was no problem, Li Menglong walked back with the girls. He also wanted to change clothes. He was the host. As for the clothes, the girls naturally brought them for him. When getting dressed, In front of things, especially on the show, he basically has no say.

"Hey, isn't this PD Li? Why are you in our waiting room? Do you want to guide the work? Don't worry, we will work hard!" When they were the only ones left, the girls immediately started joking: "That's right, PD Li just wants to say a few words, we don't know what we are going to show later!"

Li Menglong paid no attention to these crazy girls. He took the clothes from Xu Xian and said to them: "I said, kids, I'm going to change clothes. Shall we clear the place for a while?"

"Why should we go out of our waiting room?" "PD is amazing, is it possible that variety show PDs also want to unspoken rules?" "Just change, you can't even change underwear, right? We look like wearing underwear. It’s not like I haven’t seen it before…”

Li Menglong looked at his staff who had their mouths wide open and looked surprised. He really wanted to go over and hit the girls on the head. Can't these girls be more ladylike? Dare to say anything? Although this is true.

"I'm scared of you gangsters, so I can go to the bathroom and change!"

"Hey, okay, okay, let's just let him go. He's a PD after all. Don't look like you've been wronged. We girls are famous for respecting PDs, okay?" Kim Taeyeon They stood up together, and the girls naturally responded one after another. After all, all the jokes that should be made have been made.

After changing their clothes in fear, the girls outside knocked on the door like a gang of sisters coming to catch the mistress. Fortunately, as the show approached, the girls finally began to restrain their nature.

Li Menglong rarely enjoyed the goddess look of the girls. Although they were all naturally beautiful, the makeup and hair really made the girls more dazzling. The clothes were also specially matched by the costume designer. In short, they looked beautiful after standing in a row. Too much.

"Then I'm going to record the opening first. You guys can wait for a while behind!" Li Menglong warned: "Don't you need me to say nonsense like you don't need to be nervous when you are on the show?"

The girls spread their hands towards him, signaling to Li Menglong that he was free to do so. After all, he was a PD and he could do whatever he wanted with this three-acre piece of land. Li Menglong wanted to set some unspoken rules. Do they agree?

When Li Menglong came to the studio, Liu Zaishi and eight chefs had already taken their seats in advance, so he immediately trotted over: "I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting."

It was originally a self-effacing sentence, but it did not receive the expected answer of "It's okay". Liu Zaishi knew that this sentence was not meant for him, and Li Menglong would not be polite to him. As for the chefs, they were completely nervous. .

Li Menglong has really never dealt with this kind of situation. After all, all the artists he has worked with are professional artists. Fortunately, Liu Zaishi has never seen any big storms. He has seen many ordinary people on the show.

It would be irresponsible to just say "Everyone relax" at this time. Now we have to present the facts and make sense: "Our program is a recorded broadcast, and it lasts a long time. The highlight of the program from first to last is when everyone is cooking. The scenes, the conversations between our hosts and guests, rummaging through their refrigerators, and finally the chefs’ fun!”

"I say this not because I don't care about you, but even if you don't say anything funny throughout the whole process, it won't affect the effect of the show. Of course, if you think of something interesting, just say it directly, even if you use swear words, our program can also be edited later!" Liu Zaishi said with a smile.

Sure enough, the national MC has a skill, and a few words made the chefs relax a lot. After all, the logic of these words is very clear. The chefs’ real skill is cooking. Funny things are the icing on the cake, and there is no need to worry about saying the wrong thing. Words, how easy it is!

Li Menglong secretly gave a thumbs up under the table. As expected, dragging this brother over was reassuring. Even now, he only glanced at the script briefly. Then he will all count on Liu Zaishi. Fortunately, this brother Never let him down.

As another boss, Li Youjing sat on the open second floor, indicating that all preparations were completed and ready to start at any time. Li Menglong and Liu Zaishi drank water again to moisten their throats and clear their throats at the same time. The simple preparation actions surprised the chefs. A little nervous again.

But there is no need to persuade now, because the rest are familiar issues. I believe everyone will feel much more comfortable after the two episodes of the show. Li Menglong and Li looked at each other. How many people were looking forward to the two of them starting the show? Unexpectedly It really happened.

The two of them turned around and pulled up their upper body clothes. As for the pants, they couldn't be photographed anyway. The light of the camera on the opposite side had already turned on, which meant that the program was officially recorded. Li Menglong was not in a hurry when he arrived. Anyway, he just followed Liu Jae Suk's rhythm. .

But Li Menglong was very suspicious. Where did the opening line come from? It was clear that there was nothing he had confirmed beforehand: what to do with the ingredients in the doormat refrigerator, what to do with the eight best chef teams in the country, what kind of cooking show to have with quality...

Li Menglong must edit these terrible lines when the time comes. Fortunately, they soon reached the place they had agreed upon, and Liu Zaishi was the first to say: "Please..."

Then the two lightly knocked on the table twice, then shouted "refrigerator" in unison, and raised their respective forearms in mid-air, making a crossed "X" motion.

The scene was a little cold for a while, but fortunately, the recording of the program "Please Refrigerator" has officially started. I hope it will have a good start. However, Li Menglong is still confident that he, Yoo Jae Suk, and the girls will If the names are added together, there is no reason why it will not be successful. Besides, there is such a good idea. It is better to think about how many issues to run away after...
