The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Against the cool sea breeze at night in Jeju Island, on the balcony of a house with a great view, two light spots flickering on and off like fireflies. If you look carefully, you can still see some smoke. Of course, even if it is the sea breeze, The sound of the waves still couldn't cover up the unique "papapapa" sound.

"I'm really crazy. Why did I ask you to film the show? There are more than one celebrities in the industry who can cook. It's amazing that we can let them go to a chef training class in advance!" Director Luo said with complaints. , holding a cigarette in his mouth and taking a long drag, then he held the hammer in both hands and smashed it down like crazy.

Li Menglong put the butt of the cigarette in his mouth aside, and then took out another one. It's fine if he doesn't smoke cigarettes, but once he smokes it, it's very satisfying. Director Luo seduced him. Of course, he was being seduced this time. Those who seduce are also willing to do so.

Don't say that Director Luo has any resentment in his heart. Li Menglong despises him. Why would he just casually say that he wants twenty pork chops? Isn’t eighteen pictures good? Let’s not talk about whether the eighteen copies can be sold out. Even if they are sold out, what will the two extra copies do? Did he pay less for the two portions of pork chops?

Now he and Director Luo have to pound pork chops on the balcony in the cold wind, which is quite efficient, because it will be cold once they stop! As for coming to the balcony to knock on it, it was not just to smoke, but because the girls and the staff wanted to sleep. I disliked the quarrel between Li Menglong and the two!

This makes no sense at all, and these people are so convincing: They are so well-matched, one is the director and the other is the main MC. The key is that the identities can be interchanged at any time. Give them two cameras and just shoot outside. , and also warned them that the best shots should be more exciting.

"Let me tell you, no matter whether you are filming a variety show or a TV series, don't look for Girls' Generation to film in the future!" Li Menglong said with lingering fear: "First of all, it is too familiar to start with, and secondly, they are big names, and it is really difficult to play. It’s fatal!”

Director Luo nodded in agreement. It was indeed the case. If this were a new group, or any other group besides the girls, with two great gods, Li Menglong and Director Luo, here, would they still dare to complain about being tired?

The director went to rest with the staff before he could say anything. If other idols dared to do such a thing, Director Luo would have the guts to scold him on the spot. But forget it about Girls' Generation. It's still the first day of the group after all, right? It's too powerful. , I can’t afford to offend.

Especially Director Luo's wife actually has a pretty good relationship with Lee Soon Kyu. She can't even find a place to cry. As for Lee Meng Long, he doesn't even dare to fart, otherwise these girls will cry to him every minute in the second half of the night. At that time, Li Meng will still be the leader.

So let’s just knock the pork chops honestly, and Director Luo is just in time to smooth out the ideas of the show. This kind of slow-paced variety show needs a sense of rhythm, or the jokes are hidden deeper, and the director team needs to be benign. A keen sense of guidance and post-editing.

In short, directors Luo Luo and Li Menglong have produced more than one similar variety show, and the ratings are soaring across the board. According to the level of competition in this three-acre area of ​​​​Korea, there should have been imitations by TV stations. As for things like copyright and plagiarism, there are only It can be said that the court will slowly grind it out when the time comes.

It's just that until now, similar programs are still only produced by the two of them and SW. There is a lot of content in it. It is definitely not just Li Eunxi's effort, and she does not have that much power.

Li Enxi also secretly inquired about it behind the scenes, and the reason was quite strange. Almost all TV stations had plans for similar programs, but no director dared to take over because they lacked confidence.

It was as if everyone was a top chef, and they were making abalone and bird's nest on weekdays. But one day, Li Menglong and two people suddenly made a plate of shredded potatoes. It was so delicious that it was sold at the same price as abalone.

Everyone can see the profits here, and everyone wants a share of the pie. However, everyone knows how to fry shredded potatoes, but there is no confidence that they can fry the same taste. How can we get this porcelain job without this diamond.

In this regard, Director Luo and the two can still be a little proud. Unlike the success of TV series, after all, there are so many popular TV series every year. The two of them are equivalent to creating a small category of variety shows, but they are not coordinated together for the time being. As for the name, it may be more appropriate to call it slow variety show or free variety show.

The simple guest-oriented approach has been developed to the extreme by the two of them. Not only the ratings of coming to their show are high, but also the key is to cleanse their image. Many celebrities from the company have taken the initiative to contact SW, but Li Eunxi will pay attention to them. ?

If your own artists and friends can't arrange it, who has time to take care of outsiders? And from the bottom of her heart, she does not support two people filming variety shows. They are a bunch of people who are not doing their jobs properly. She strongly believes that variety shows are a hindrance to the company.

In her plan, the company should focus on TV series, supplemented by movies and artist management. Why shoot variety shows? Although it can make money, it always feels quite low!

The cigarette ashes all over the floor proved how intense the conversation between the two was. Later in the conversation, Li Menglong even fried a pork chop. So when the girls woke up in the morning to prepare, they found that one pork chop was missing. Li Menglong began to condemn.

"I told you to be quiet, we are opening a store today, who dares to yell at me and deduct wages!" Li Menglong said threateningly.

"We still get wages? How refreshing!" Kim Taeyeon curled her lips: "I will give you face when customers come, boss!"

"Well, be good! I think Kim Taeyeon has a very high ideological consciousness, so I decided that she will take over the position of lobby manager today. When I am not in the front lobby, everyone will listen to her instructions!" Li Menglong began to draw. Big pie.

Things like class are really interesting. It is obvious that everyone despises Li Menglong together. It can even be said that if the nine of them work together, Li Menglong will be just a decoration. When no one listens to anything the boss says, he is still the boss. ?

But once Li Menglong promoted Kim Taeyeon to the number two role, she would spontaneously break away from the eight girls, and then firmly switch to the camp that protects Li Menglong, because as long as Li Menglong does not fall, she can order other people. .

As for the other girls, they also saw a golden avenue. After all, the emperor takes turns to come to my house next year. If she works hard, maybe she will be the one to command tomorrow. So she no longer wants to compete with Li Menglong, but thinks about what to do. Pull Kim Taeyeon down.

This scene really stunned Director Luo and the others, and they couldn't figure out why for a while. It was as if there was a fish bone stuck in their throats, and they couldn't spit it out even if they wanted to. All in all, it was quite uncomfortable.

Leaving the camera with a mysterious smile, Li Menglong led his troops to work. After living with the girls for so long, he still hasn't found any tricks to deal with them? So how did Li Menglong survive until now?

The shooting team is actually quite interesting. There are ten guests here, but the shooting team only has twenty people. This ratio is seriously wrong. Logically speaking, there should be forty or fifty people.

This is determined by the characteristics of this program itself. The girls are basically busy in a small shop throughout the whole process, and they are not like running boys who can be separated at any time. Therefore, after setting up fixed lenses in the store, they even moved the camera Not many people need much.

They enjoyed the sea view along the way, but Li Menglong, who had worked in restaurants, knew that this was the most relaxing time for girls on this day, so he deliberately slowed down the car and even picked a song by girls to let them Sing loudly.

This picture is quite strong. It would be better if they were going on an outing. Unfortunately, they have to go to work. When we arrived at the store, everyone started to prepare according to yesterday's instructions. Of course, the work was assigned by Li Menglong.

Although the girls are terrible at knife skills, it’s better to cut slowly. Besides, it’s not fast enough for people to join in. There is a row of cutting boards on the dining table in the hall, and the five girls headed by Kim Taeyeon are living humanoid figures. Vegetable cutter.

In the kitchen, Xiuying and Yuli were struggling to carry a large laundry tub filled with freshly washed vegetables. Kim Taeyeon felt her hands hurt after just one glance: "Do we need to prepare so much? It feels like not many people will come. Bar!"

Li Menglong did not answer Kim Taeyeon's question, because there are many reasons to refute it: for example, vegetables will shrink after being soaked in water or fried, for example, if you can't use them all, you can continue to use them tomorrow, and for example, they themselves think about their Don’t you have a point in popularity?

Li Menglong already wants to thank Director Luo, at least this store is not opened in Seoul, otherwise it would be really tiring to death. And even in Jeju Island, he did not choose a popular tourist location. In addition to the beautiful scenery, the location where they opened the store was really a bit remote.

In this way, it can be said that at least 80% of the diners have been blocked. As for the remaining 20%, it is enough for the girls to drink a pot. The popularity of these girls is really no joke, and the positioning of the program itself is also good. , the food made by celebrities, anyone who is not short of money will choose to try it.

Therefore, due to the above considerations, the girls and the program team of this store did not conduct any publicity at all. They will also try their best to communicate with the diners and prevent them from publicizing it online. At most, they can secretly inform one or two friends in private.

Even so, Li Menglong had already vaguely seen the surging crowd, silently dismissed the frightening scene, and once again worked hard to cut the potatoes in his hands. As for the remaining girls, they were also busy cooking the sauce for the pork chops. These are all live juices and drink ingredients.

Li Menglong now needs to prepare all the trivial things. He only needs to be responsible for cooking when the business is open. Even so, he is afraid of not having enough time. One of the core problems of restaurants is speed!

"Hurry up. Can we open on time at twelve o'clock? Are all the wages given to you in vain? Let's run..." Li Menglong started to roar like a Spartan from hell.
