The Rise of Korean Entertainment

(I’ve been having a lot of personal affairs lately, and the code section isn’t going well. It’s my fault! I’ll adjust as soon as possible, and I’ll try my best to pay it back as soon as it’s coded! I owe a total of twelve extra updates, starting from the 0504 reward. Thank you.” "The Bull Demon King Generation and the Empty Soul" two people have received 10,000 rewards and a 6k chapter!)

A somewhat troublesome opening is finally over. In fact, the promotion of the TV series is almost done. After all, there are only a few words at the beginning, and everyone's performance will be seen in the follow-up.

As for the content of this issue, it is not particularly complicated, but as the director read it out, the runners and guests started shouting, as if it was the first time they heard about it. Didn't they read the script in private just now?

I won’t talk about acting skills. It’s not the point anyway. As for the protest, it can be considered sincere. The meaning of this issue is that everyone divides into groups to shoot a video with no limit on the content, and then see who has been criticized by netizens on the Running Man website. Lots of likes.

Putting aside issues such as creativity, is it normal for a group of comedians, actors, and singers to compete with a serious director like Li Menglong to see who can shoot a better-looking video? Why not just let Yoo Jae Suk compete with the male idol group to see who is more handsome!

However, no one wants to really overturn this idea. Besides, the idea is still good, but can there be some discounts or some restrictions on Li Menglong!

Naturally, the guests must be separated into groups. The five people on Li Menglong's side were divided into four groups. In the end, Li Menglong was simply taken out alone. Otherwise, pairing him with a girl would be the same as pairing him with a heroine.

For the same reason, Song Ji-hyo couldn't be sent there, and even Lee Kwang-soo couldn't do it. In the end, after much selection, he just let Kim Jong-kook be paired with him. The two of them might have ended up having a quarrel or something.

The program team's idea is quite good. Besides, the girls are there to guarantee each team. Even if they take some photos of them, many people will see it. As for Li Menglong and Li Menglong, they really take their time.

Lee Mong-ryong is really not in a hurry, but Kim Jong-kook is in a hurry because director Lee Mong-ryong is here!

Each group discussed it separately, and they all acted like they were guarding against thieves. When they asked each other for ideas, they made up random things. As for Li Menglong and Li Menglong, they didn't know anything.

"I'm not lying to you, I really didn't think about it! You guys take action first!" Li Menglong waved his hand and went to find a place to drink coffee with Jin Jongguo. The calmness of these two people made everyone on the side want to rush forward and compete. But because the results were relatively unsurprising, everyone had no choice but to endure it.

Li Menglong was calm. He would have wanted to take a nap if possible, but Kim Jong Kook couldn't stand it anymore. It was his show after all: "I told you, if you have an idea, hurry up and don't procrastinate!"

"What's your attitude? Why don't you go take the photo yourself!" Li Menglong said rudely.

"What's your attitude! Have you ever talked to your brother like this?"

"You are such a big brother!"

There are no other members around this time, so the VJs and writers around are a little worried, whether there will really be a quarrel after a while, and whether they need to persuade them.

But the worry is obviously unnecessary, especially when you see Li Menglong's head being held by Kim Jong Kook under his arm and forcibly pulled away. Sure enough, the friendship between men is still not easy for people to understand.

"We need to analyze the essence of the problem. This is for the audience! So what do the audience like to see? Or what are our advantages?" Li Menglong took advantage of the booing to hold a short-term class.

"Are we stars?"

"This head is not full of muscles!" Li Menglong immediately ran away after saying this: "So we can just invite more celebrities to come out!"

"What exactly did you shoot?"

"Just say hello. As long as there are enough celebrities, fans will buy it!" Li Menglong quickly transformed the question into: Where can I find a large number of celebrities in a short time?

So the two of them came to the SBS TV station. After all, Running Man is also the mainstay of SBS, so he will still provide some conveniences, such as hanging around the backstage of various SBS programs that are being recorded.

Kim Jong Kook now has more say. When looking for someone to record, he naturally needs to find young people. On the one hand, they need various opportunities so that they will not refuse them. On the other hand, they need to be easy to talk to. After all, Kim Jong Kook is a senior!

People who debuted in 1995 are simply top-notch people here. At least it is rare to see Kim Jong Kook take the initiative to say hello. And Li Menglong debuted with him, so he naturally followed his rhythm.

Now I feel like Kim Jong Kook is the eldest brother and he is patrolling with his younger brother. The people in the corridor that he met, especially the singers, all stood aside and bowed to say hello to the two of them. Many idols may not have been born in 1995. .

Li Menglong naturally picked up the DV in his hand. Although he had never really done photography, he had managed photography, so the camera angles and other shots were pretty good.

The idea came to me while I was shooting. The inspiration was generated inadvertently, so a rumor gradually began to spread in the idol circle of SBS, and then it started to spread like a virus to the surrounding idol circles and even the entire Seoul idol circle. .

Although her status is relatively high, Kim Taeyeon is actually still considered to be in the circle of idols, so she naturally has channels to receive the news that idols can receive.

So he immediately reported to Yoo Jae Suk, who was still looking concave, that Li Menglong was cheating! Sure enough, Liu Zaishi was a little confused after reading it. Is this method too much?

The content of the message is not complicated. The general idea is: Tonight at 10 o'clock, SBS Studio 2, convened by Tubro, filmed by Li Menglong, and Kim Jong Kook as the music director, we will dance together like a music video, which will be broadcast on Running Man. , regardless of gender or seniority, any idol who is interested can come.

Then I guess it was Li Menglong who added it. Kim Jong Kook wouldn’t be so shameless: bringing his own clothes, not providing late night snacks, not reimbursing the round trip fare, in short we have no money...

There was so much news, Kim Taeyeon immediately joined several large groups, all of which were related to idols. Kim Taeyeon and others were usually in them, but they rarely paid attention to them.

But now it’s so lively inside. The conditions for Lee Mong-ryong’s opening are still very good. Just being on the air on Running Man is enough. Besides, you can also catch up with Lee Mong-ryong and Kim Jong-kook. Take two steps back. This is one of the few existing idols in the idol world. The summoning order issued by the living fossil.

Unlike the seniors who have been around for decades in the variety show and film and television industries, there are very few seniors who are more than ten years old in the idol circle. Of course, those who are in groups are not counted.

Therefore, the appeal of the name Turbo is still there, so for various reasons, you can see that nanny vans in various locations in Seoul have begun to move towards SBS.

As for Li Menglong, he had no sense of serious matters at all. He and Kim Jong-guo leaned on the chairs in the first row and watched the staff on the stage simply cleaning up: "Can there be more than a dozen people here in a while? If there are less people, then It’s boring!”

"Probably!" Kim Jong Kook wasn't too sure, after all, he rarely had contact with today's idols.

"Tsk, tsk, I'm not talking about you, you haven't ordered a direct junior or something like that in so many years? I still have Girls' Generation and eixd to call you!" Li Menglong sarcastically said without mercy.

"Go away, I'm a musician, okay? I'm not here to join a gang!"

The two of them were chatting without saying a word. Before nine o'clock, someone rushed over first and poked their heads in to take a look. Then a series of people came trotting over and sat facing each other with their heads on their calves. The two of them bowed and said hello.

The seniors are also different, just like there is a layer between a solo singer and a group singer, but the Turbo duo are equivalent to the ancestors of all active groups. They are the top of the mountain and they have to come and pay homage.

"Hello, Turbo-senpai, we are a pink, and this is our album..."

"Eunchi, are you also recording a program at SBS? I didn't see you just now!" Li Menglong took a look at the album after taking it: "I haven't heard of you releasing an album recently!"

"Thank you for your concern, seniors. This is our album half a year ago. I hope the two seniors can give me some advice!" Zheng Eunji didn't show any sign of being familiar with Li Menglong and answered the questions meticulously.

Li Menglong was still a little surprised, but Kim Jong Kook quickly understood. The group treats the group's seniors according to the standard of the group, so let's return the favor.

He pulled Li Menglong up. Although he hadn't shouted for many years, he still had this little tacit understanding: "Hello, we are Tubro! We will listen to the album well!"

Even Li Menglong could detect a hint of solemnity in the greetings between the two groups who have been in the industry for more than ten years. This is inheritance. Kim Jong Kook thought for a while and added: "You have performed very well among the girl groups in recent years. Keep working hard and bring more good music to the fans. This is the foundation!"

"Guilty! We will definitely work hard to make music!" Zheng Eunchi bit her lower lip and trembled slightly. This was Tubro's advice to A Pink, and it sounded heavy to the ears.

Zheng Endi and the others came here specially. Zheng Endi was originally attending an event alone. When she heard Li Menglong asked for help, she naturally rushed over unconditionally. This was her noble person.

But after reading the content in detail, she had another phone call with her manager, so the sisters also rushed over together. Today, she should definitely not come as an individual Zheng Eunji, but as Apink. One member!

Before they could exchange a few words, a group of idols who happened to be recording a program on SBS over there rushed over: "Hello, senior, we are Shinee..."

After one of the men saw the album in Li Menglong's hand, he immediately felt as if someone had stepped on his foot and said, "Senior, our album is at the manager's place outside. I'm going to get it now!"

Without waiting for Li Menglong and Li Menglong to say anything, the man ran out in a gust of wind and gave another gift in return. This time Jin Zhongguo was silent and Li Menglong could only say: "S*m, right? I know you, our boss lady is Where are you fans! Sign your autograph for me later!"

"Seniors who don't dare to be, we will work as hard as you!" As he spoke, the man who went to get the album also ran back. From the sweat on his head, you could tell that he went to get it from his manager. He obviously ran back to the nanny's car to get it.

However, Li Menglong did not expose it and just nodded: "We will listen carefully and keep up the good work!"

When Lee Mong-ryong and Kim Jong-kook realized that things were a bit serious, things were already a bit out of control. The first batch of idols who arrived either knew Lee Mong-ryong and Kim Jong-kook and simply wanted to come over to help, or they came to show off at SBS themselves. Face.

But as the number of people increased, the first ones to realize that something was wrong were the agents of each company, especially the agents who led the new group. This call was initiated in the name of tubro, that is, the absolute senior.

Then several of the current backbone groups have arrived, and the ones that have been around for a long time are better off. If those groups that have been around for a year or two don’t come, it seems that it is no longer a matter of not giving face. Should they continue to develop? Do you still want to pass it on? Do you still want to acknowledge it?

Fortunately, it’s not particularly difficult for everyone. At least when you come here, you can get to know your seniors and running men, and by the way, you can brush up on your idol’s historical sense of honor. Apart from the bad time, it’s not bad.

As for time, it has never been a problem for idols. It's okay to stay up all day when you're busy, not to mention it's only less than ten o'clock now.

As a result, a large group of newcomers who had just debuted and had no human rights rushed over one after another. Although these groups together may not be as important as Girls' Generation or the like, there are many people. This kind of thing increases when there are more people. It seems a lot more formal.

The managers who arrived at the scene saw that the matter was so big, so they naturally called the company. The president and senior managers began to inquire about the situation here to see if their ace artist wanted to come over.

No one expected that the first person to make the decision would be YG, a company that neither Lee Mong-ryong nor Kim Jong-kook knew very well. It could be said that they were not familiar with each other at all.

When Bigbang and 2ne1, the two leading yg groups, came together, it really blinded a lot of people's eyes, and the nature of the incident immediately increased a lot.

Li Menglong didn't know this group of people, and it was Kim Jong-kook who introduced them. He originally just borrowed a performance hall from SBS at random, but he didn't expect that it seemed a bit big at first, but now it seemed just right.

The inexplicable things are getting weirder and weirder. It seems that if the idols in Seoul don't come, it's a big sin. Oh my conscience, Li Menglong knows who these people are, so it's really okay not to come. Li Menglong will never do it. To be investigated later.

But there was no room for the two of them to talk about the matter. Most of the idol circle was gathered together. The reporters were going crazy. What are these people going to do? Are the idols having a party together?

When even s*m brings over idols who are at home, it can explain some problems. The only thing worth celebrating is that among the complete surviving idol groups that are still alive, at least so far, Tubro is still the oldest. In that batch, there is no problem of being unable to hold on.

Jessica was called up by her sister, and she almost scared Crystal to death with her eyes. After listening to her explanation and various gossips, Jessica had to say that things were a bit big.

"Should I not go?" Jessica asked tentatively.

"Onie, are you crazy? Although you are very familiar with Menglong Oppa, you have to go there as Girls' Generation! Especially since you are so important and have to support Oppa!" It's rare for Little Crystal to meet such an exciting person. Things, he said very excitedly.

What my sister said makes sense. This kind of thing has not passed through girlhood. Where can Li Menglong put his face? He is wearing a certain outfit while communicating with other members.

After learning the root cause of the matter from Kim Taeyeon, Jung Soo-yeon's first reaction was that Running Man had made a lot of money; her second reaction was that Lee Mong-ryong was not a worry-free person. He finally turned down the invitation last night, and now he still has to Get there!

Except for the other groups of girls who participated in the male running, the rest of the girls rushed over. Some were woken up while sleeping, some were interrupted while drinking, and some were forcibly dragged over while flirting with men. In short, they were rushed over. arrive.

Jessica was really shocked when she came in. She had never seen so many idols before. You could see them on the year-end stage every year, but had you ever seen hundreds of idols gathering together in twos and threes to chat? Still chatting!

There was a road in the middle to the door. It was obvious where it led. Jessica walked over and found that Li Menglong's condition inside was not particularly good. But when he got here, he could only say hello according to the rules. So Many pairs of eyes are watching.

"Girls' Generation! Well, I've heard your songs. Keep working hard and don't let down the fans' love for you!" Li Menglong almost vomited with such clichés.

Of course Jessica could hear it, so she came over and whispered, "Are you regretting it?"

"If you give me another chance to choose..."

Before Li Menglong could finish speaking, Hyoyuan had already handed over the album. Li Menglong really didn’t want it. He had a bunch of Girls’ Generation albums at home, as well as various collections of signed versions. The only purpose of Li Menglong’s storage was just in case something went wrong in the future. It's time to take it out and sell it.

Jessica glared at her, this was a slap in the face, and she forced her into Li Menglong's arms. Because there were people behind her, they couldn't occupy "Turbo Senior" for too long, so they retreated.

As long as people have been here before, it's fine. And looking at the faces around them, although they can't be said to be familiar, they still have general friendships, so the girls immediately integrated in and joined the new force on the scene.

Nowadays, having idols coming over is no longer what worries Li Menglong the most, but how to solve this problem in the end. You can't just line up and take a photo together at the end and it means you are on Running Man, right?

After being called senior so many times and coming all the way here, Li Menglong would feel embarrassed if he really did this, and he would be ashamed of Tubro!

Maybe many people in the industry have never thought that there are really so many idols in Korea, and there are still many people who can't catch up. There are at least more than 200 idols at the scene.

Thinking about it, it’s almost the same. Nowadays, which group doesn’t just start with five or six people, and a group of more than thirty people is about the same. However, Li Menglong looked at the people with hairstyles of various colors in the audience, and felt as if they were in a vegetable field. generally.

Face is given to each other, Li Menglong understands this very well. People respect you as a senior and come to give you a compliment; then you should have the responsibility of a senior, not to mention giving everyone a red envelope or something like that, but you have to give them what you agreed on before, right?

Fortunately, Li Menglong is a director, a film and TV series director with the ability to write variety shows; fortunately, this is the internal performance hall of SBS, with all kinds of cameras and sufficient manpower; fortunately, Turbo can still live in the place and sell it. Show your face.

So soon Li Menglong and Li Menglong stood on the stage. The microphones were ready-made. SBS was very cooperative whether it was looking at the running man or Tubro's face. The cameras and lights were all prepared according to Li Menglong's requirements. stand up.

He motioned for Jin Jongguo to say a few words first, but Jin Zhongguo didn't care about him at all. Jin Zhongguo didn't even know much about the plan, so for the record, it was better to let Li Menglong set the tone first.

"Ahem, good evening, everyone!" A very vulgar beginning, and Li Menglong planned to make it even more vulgar: "Have you all eaten? We have agreed not to eat!"

It was a kind joke, and everyone laughed in agreement. Li Menglong also knew that these people were very busy, and besides, it was better to go back and sleep for a while than to stay here, so he kept the story short. .

"Thank you all for coming, although maybe you don't quite understand why you are here! To be honest, I don't know either!" Li Menglong looked at the young faces in the audience, thinking that he might have had such an ignorant time back then. Bar.

"But everyone is here. As your senior and a brother who is slightly older than you, I think I should say something to you, but it shouldn't be too long, so it's just one sentence." Li Menglong paused and said. : "Never forget what your job is, bring more good music to your fans!"

"There's no need for applause. It's so embarrassing!" At this time, Kim Jong Kook had already smoothed out his next plan, so he also stood up: "It's rare for everyone to get together today. If I don't leave something behind, I feel a little missing."

"As singers, all we have left is music, so let's all take turns to sing songs later!" Kim Jong Kook said as he discussed the arrangement: "As a group, and the most important thing is to share what you haven't published yet. Come out with your own compositions. This is your music, isn't it? Let your seniors, juniors, and colleagues listen to your style..."

This is the plan that Li Menglong finally came up with. Although everything is a little hasty, looking at the eager people in the audience, you can tell what they want. This kind of opportunity to show their faces, especially in front of many idols, makes these young people Everyone is a little excited.

"You're welcome, I won't name names. According to the year of debut, the older ones will come up to a group, and the younger ones will take over!" Li Menglong directly arranged it, and soon Big Bang came up first. This group of people is Zero Six Debuted in the year.

There won't be much for Li Menglong to do next. He just needs to find a corner to lean against. Now everyone's attention is on the stage: "What will be done with these videos in the end? Are Running Man willing to broadcast them?"

"Tch, they don't broadcast it but there are people who want to broadcast it. Besides, it doesn't count for broadcasting, you still have to collect money. There are so many celebrities. Isn't he embarrassed?" Li Menglong showed the face of a profiteer.

Jin Zhongguo also wanted to persuade him not to accept the money for himself, but considering that Li Menglong was not such a greedy person, he probably donated it in the end, which can be considered a good thing.

In fact, it’s as if practice makes perfect. Even people like Lee Soon Kyu and Kim Taeyeon can stumble into composing music. It can be said that among the idols, who has no self-composed songs? It’s just a matter of quality. There are even many The accompaniment demos are all recorded and put on the mobile phone.

But now the atmosphere is very good, so there is no ridicule from everyone. As long as they dare to sing, they are cheering. Although there are no dances and costumes, when the music itself is restored, shouldn't they be a group of singers?

A bunch of pretty good singers!
