South Korean Entertainment Industry News Record

For the "Infinite Challenge" program team, Zhang Che can be said to be doing his business to the extreme. Before 2007, he was still conscientiously squatting on the crew. Since the date entered 2007, Zhang Che has basically not participated in the daily production meetings of the program team except for the necessary shooting days. It also means that he is not a contract employee of MBC, otherwise the MBC Entertainment Bureau would have fired him.

Fortunately, Kim Tae-hee has grown up slowly, and Kim Tae-ho himself is not a director without ideas, and Zhang Che's absence from meetings will not affect the normal operation of the show team. But it can't be done now, because Kim Tae Ho, a guy who is not willing to be lonely, feels that the ratings of "Infinite Challenge" have reached a bottleneck recently, and he is going to make a big move to boost the ratings.

"The Song Festival?" Zhang Che listened to the proposal proposed by Jin Taihao with a bit of disbelief, and then suddenly realized that it was already 2007.

The Infinite Challenge Song Festival has always been a major feature of the Infinite Challenge. It is held every two years. Except for 2007 and 2009, which were a bit shabby, the other classes are in full swing, and even the Infinite Challenge Song Festival appeared in 2015. As soon as it came out, the gods avoided the situation, the gods here were still great gods like the first men's team and the first women's team.

"It was originally Tae Hee's idea. I thought it was a ballad show. I thought to myself, didn't we discuss it before, let the members sing a few songs together, and then release an album together, and donate the income to the coal bank. Thinking of things like that, and then thinking about it, I'm a little unsure, I'll ask you to discuss it." Jin Taihao said.

"What did you guys plan to do?" Zhang Che really can't recall what the song festival in 2007 was like. He only remembers HAHA's "The Story of a Short Kid" and Lu Hongzhe's that can hardly be called The song "Girl".

"The initial plan is to find a few composers to help write songs and find a place to perform. During the performance, special judges will be invited to give marks, and the last one will be punished." Kim Tae Ho and Kim Tae Hee discussed it briefly. The plot designer said a bit, and then said with a little regret: "Actually, I still have a lot of ideas, but I didn't dare to do it for fear that the audience would not accept it well."

"For example?" Zhang Che asked curiously.

"Can we consider inviting guests, can we set up an intermediate inspection, the last place will be punished, can we consider what kind of prizes the first place will receive." Jin Taihao said.

Zhang Che thought about it, it seems that there were no guests except in the first season, there have been guests since the second season, and the middle inspection is also, the punishment for the last place is not common, but the reward for the first place seems to be in addition to 2011 There is no such thing outside of the year. Later, the No Pick Song Festival is a joyous festival where everyone gets together, and punishment and rewards are no longer important.

In general, Kim Tae-ho actually had a general idea of ​​the whole song festival planning, and all Zhang Che had to do was to add some fire to it.

"Brother, if you want to do it, let's make it bigger." Zhang Che said, "If you can invite the guests, you can invite them. You can also use the popularity of the guests themselves, so that the risk can be reduced a little. The intermediate inspection must be carried out. The worry-free brothers will definitely make a fool of themselves during the middle inspection. As for the reward, brother, what do you think about arranging a special stage at the music center?"

"Well...it's not impossible." Jin Taihao reacted and said with a smile: "You are bad enough, so those brothers and sisters don't dare to be careless, and they want to take the first place but are afraid of taking the first place. Yes, it should be interesting."

"But how to arrange the guests, which grade of guests to invite, how to settle the expenses, we don't have much budget." Jin Taixi is not as optimistic as Jin Taihao, many things are easy to come up with, but difficult to implement.

"Also, how to arrange the venue, whether to find a place in the MBC hall or somewhere outside, how to arrange the time, and whether to apply for security assistance if you are outside..." Kim Tae-hee said it was over.

"Don't worry about it, aren't we here to discuss this matter!" Jin Taihao didn't care, he came to Zhang Che to discuss a successful plan together.

"If you can't get it done in a short period of time, why don't you slow down or make a long-term special?" Zhang Che suggested.

"Long-term special?" Jin Taihao thought about it for a while, and said decisively, "Just do a long-term special. Don't worry about the funding issue. The ratings have been quite good recently. I will go to the bureau to apply for special funding." Turning his head and facing it seriously Zhang Che said, "Little Che, come, let's discuss the specific operation."

Then Zhang Che was chained to MBC for a whole week. If it wasn't for the phone call from the TV drama's Jeon Ji-xiang, Kim Tae-ho would not have let Zhang Che leave.

The final negotiated result is to make a period of up to 2 months, and it is expected to be edited into 4-6 long-term specials. The specific content is a series of processes from song production to recording to live singing by members and guests. There will be some intermediate inspections in the middle. The final winner will go to the MBC Music Center for a special stage performance.

The selection of the guests is trapped in the performance fee and will not choose a big name, but they must have a certain singing skills, otherwise the voices of these brothers are too shocking, and there is no one who can sing well. The filming of the show is scheduled to start in early May. The official performance time is expected to be at the end of June and the beginning of July. The song can be written by the composer designated by the show team. Of course, if you have connections, you can also have any music style. No one said anything about you, try your best to create convenience for these deaf brothers.

Some of the details of the specific implementation, Jin Taihao and Zhang Che made an appointment for a week before the filming, that is, the fourth week of April to discuss in detail, and some other preparatory program groups began to do it first. Especially the composer part, Jin Taihao wanted Zhang Che to come, but Zhang Che wanted to drag Li Haoyang into the water, so the two people who were pregnant with each other said vaguely, just waited until the time was too late or It's not good, please let the person in your imagination go for the reason.

Because of Zhang Che's suggestion, the system of judges was abolished and the audience voting was adopted instead. The stage design also strongly requested that a professional executive PD be sent from the music center. If there is anything unsatisfactory about the first and second Boundless Song Festival, it is the few audiences and the extremely bad stage. This time, under Zhang Che's philosophy of "make it big if you want to do it", Kim Tae-ho finally gritted his teeth and prepared to grind his teeth with the Director of Entertainment, and he had to get some external support no matter what.

It took about a week for Zhang Che to devote himself to the filming of the crew again after attending the meeting of "Infinite Challenge". As the plot slowly unfolded, the ratings of "Witch Youxi" have now exceeded 20. , is hitting the 25% mark, and the audience rating after the sixth episode has reached 24.3%. If there is basically no accident, there will be a breakthrough in the seventh episode.

Jeon Ki-sang is quite handy in the control of the crew. He is different from Liu Renzhi who doesn't mind. Zhang Che can't get involved in the crew now. And Lee Hyori's life is getting more and more difficult. As the familiar script passed, she slowly lived like other actors to get the script that will be broadcast next week this week, so her acting skills are short. It is becoming more and more obvious that the number of NGs is increasing. The only consolation is that everyone is tolerant enough for Lee Hyori to appear in a TV series for the first time, whether it is the crew or the audience. There is no need to ask that CJEM is definitely working hard. Anyway, whether online or in reality, Lee Hyori's commentary on his acting skills this time is not bad. Instead, Zhang Che felt pretty good. All day long, he was either writing a script at home or going to the studio to watch Li Haoyang make a song, or he would occasionally go to MBC to see how the latest issue of "Infinite Challenge" was in gold. Tae Ho's hands are formed, not busy but very fulfilling.

Another day was due for the draft, and Zhang Che sent the script for episodes 11 and 12 of "The Witch Youxi" to the crew. Because the beginning of the final climax was also the time when the relationship between the hero and heroine began to entangle, Quan Jixiang followed the script after reading the script. Zhang Che chatted for a while, and discussed the specifics of how to shoot before letting Zhang Che go.

Zhang Che originally came in the morning, but he was so delayed by Jixiang Quan. As a result, the noon time passed quickly. The old man, Jixiang Quan, went to the SBS staff cafeteria to have a meal. Zhang Che did not So thick-skinned, he found a reason to leave, and planned to go out to eat casually.

The TV bureau's office is on the 5th floor. Zhang Che said goodbye to Quan Jixiang and walked to the elevator alone. He got on the elevator, and clicked the sign on the first floor. The elevator began to descend.

On the third floor, the elevator stopped and someone wanted to get on the elevator. Zhang Che subconsciously stepped aside from the door and waited for someone to come up.

The one who came up was a young girl, who should be an entertainer looking at dressing up. This is not surprising. It is normal for an artist to come and go on the TV station, and this artist Zhang Che looked closely and seemed to know him.

By the way, isn't this KARA's "hamster"?

Zhang Che subconsciously held down the normally open button of the elevator, and waited for this girl's manager to come up. It is estimated that there was a delay for the little girl to go first. Anyway, he was fine, so just wait.

In other words, their manager should be the big brother Ji Zhonghua, and I haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't we give her a meal?
