South Korean Entertainment Industry News Record

"It's all your fault, what bad idea did you come up with..."

"Brother, why do you blame me? I'll make a suggestion. It's you who insists on inviting Zhengdao Institute!"

"I know too, but what to do now, we have only 5 members in the nine gymnasiums, about half of them..."

"I can't, really!"

"You... it's all your fault!"

"…"

The above is the conversation between Zhang Che and Kim Tae-ho before the emergency meeting of the Infinite Challenge one day, and the two of them have a rare expression on their faces that is sad and unlovable, which makes the writer Kim Tae-hee, who has the same headache but much less stress, is very strange. .

The taekwondo special episode of Infinite Challenge has been rumored outside, but MBC and the program team have never stood up, neither agreeing with the news, but do not deny it, this is also to maintain the popularity, but in fact, the basic The framework has been set.

The incident this time was bigger than what Kim Tae-ho and his boss thought. Thanks to the beef president who just took office this year, there are always people who want to show their loyalty when a new officer takes office, and this president is not only He has done a good job in de-sinicization. He is also determined to expand the cultural essence of the Republic of Korea, but there are really not many people who can take a shot in the land of size. How can he let something as good as taekwondo be spared. It is said that this time even officials from the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Tourism came forward. The chairman of the Korea Taekwondo Federation even visited the director of MBC TV station in person. The director gave important instructions. , be sure to do it big, do it well!

Originally, according to MBC's weird shareholder structure, it is said that President Lee's flattery is acceptable or not, but no one objected to this matter. The status of Taekwondo in Korea is higher than that of martial arts in China. To be high, this time all factions are surprisingly consistent, support, must support.

Then Kim Tae Ho was dumbfounded. This is a special show that clearly cannot fail. Not only can it fail, but it is also a show that must succeed, and even to a high standard, it must be a show that promotes positive energy at a high level.

With a good conscience, he, Kim Tae Ho, wanted to make a funny variety show from the very beginning, so he should ask the TV station documentary PD to do this kind of thing!

It's a pity that the leaders have already decided, give what you want for resources, so if you can't shoot well, what will you use it for? Jin Taihao can only bite the bullet. However, the first question to get started came up. There are nine major styles of Taekwondo in Korea. Which chief curator is not a person with a high-profile relationship in the upper class, and which MBC can't afford to offend, so the director patted Kim Tae-ho lightly. On the shoulder, Kim Tae-ho knows that the major genres are not a problem at all, the problem is why they only have five members.

"If it doesn't work, find someone, who is good in taekwondo in the entertainment industry?" Kim Tae Hee suggested.

"I can't find a good taekwondo. It's a special for ordinary people to learn taekwondo, not an amateur taekwondo competition." Jin Taihao shook his head and said.

"Well, you can't forget the purpose of the show, why don't you invite someone with some athletic talent, such as a well-known retired athlete?" Zhang Che also suggested.

"This is also a bit troublesome, please, but it's better not to do a lot of exercise. If you find some athletes such as boxing, football, wrestling, etc., and the gap between our members is too big, it will not be interesting in itself!" Jin Taihao expressed his position.

"What about the guests?" Zhang Che mentioned another big problem. There are at least nine groups of guests from nine major schools, and there are a lot of people.

"This is actually easier to handle. This time the incident was a bit big, but people in the circle with better news all called me to recommend their artists to participate, and both men and women." Jin Taihao said with a smile.

"Both men and women?" Zhang Che was stunned for a moment, then imagined the scene where the female contestant was participating in the competition, and the male contestant opposite looked cramped, he suddenly smiled strangely, and said, "Brother, this is an art show, right? Shouldn't there be a gender rule?"

Jin Taihao was very happy when he heard it, and said, "I was worried about trying to convince you, but I didn't expect that, we want to go together!"

On the other hand, Kim Tae Hee was a little worried and said carefully, "What about the game viewing in this case?"

"What to watch, we are an entertainment show, not a professional sports competition, how can we not be funny?" Kim Tae Ho continued to say with a face of righteousness, "Besides, aren't there those five dan players? Let's see The cool tricks just let them show it off.”

Kim Tae-hee looked at Kim Tae-ho, who was shirking his responsibilities in a serious manner, and Zhang Che, who was nodding frequently to give his approval, and sighed, thinking that you both agreed, what else can I say. And if you think about it carefully, what Kim Tae Ho said is not unreasonable. After all, it is an entertainment show. The entertainer is responsible for laughing, and the players are responsible for publicity. If it is really serious, men and men are compared, and players can only be compared with players, then Why don't you watch the taekwondo match?

"So, how is the shooting plan arranged?" Zhang Che continued to ask.

"First shoot some scenes where the members invite artists and select artists, and then the members and the invited artists go to the gym training together. It is estimated that at least three episodes can be made. The problem is the choice of personnel, not only the guests, but also the members. There are also 4 teams, and at least one of these 4 teams must be someone who can do shows, otherwise, what should I do with the amount of filming?" Jin Taihao also had a headache.

"Let's discuss this later. Arrange the shooting plan first. You can't have any clues if you're afraid in a few days, right?" Zhang Che was not worried. Straight.

"That's the only way." Kim Tae-ho thinks about it too. The problem with the selection of candidates is that we only need to discuss who to choose instead of no one to choose, but if the shooting plan is not arranged, it will really be over.

The original plan was for a few members to go to the gym to study, and then close the door to compete on their own, with a maximum of two episodes. This time, it’s better. Just studying will have to stay in the gym for two days and one night. It is estimated that After all the shooting can be divided into at least 5 phases, the arrangement of this shooting plan is much more troublesome, ranging from the shooting process to the shooting script of each of the nine teams and some game designs that may be used. In addition, the three Kim Tae-hee worked an all-night shift, and the next day they had to coordinate the various staff members according to the shooting plan. There were too many people participating in the special this time, and naturally a lot of staff were used, so this time I needed to go to other places. The program has seconded VJs, PDs, and writers to coordinate their schedules. Fortunately, there is full support from the stage this time, otherwise don't think about it easily. Even so, Zhang Che and the three of them only slept for three hours in two busy days.

In the end, on the night before the shooting, everything was barely arranged, and the invitations were also completed. In addition to the members, the four groups are led by Kim Byung-man proposed by Zhang Che, Junjin proposed by Kim Tae-ho, Jang Hyuk proposed by Kim Tae-hee, and Zhao In-sung proposed by the director, a related household.

The next day, the members arrived at the waiting room of MBC TV a lot earlier than usual, and there was not a single person who was late today. It's not that these brothers suddenly became sensible, but everyone knew that the task this time was not easy - they had never worked with so much attention.

Usually, everyone drives the nanny car directly to the shooting location, and then gets off the car not far from the shooting location to directly participate in the shooting, but this time is different. The square in front of the MBC building, which was originally intended to be the opening location, is now crowded with reporters. And the fans, the program team notified all the members and the guests who came to participate in the recording as soon as they found out, do not go through the main entrance, and all the filming began in the MBC underground parking lot.

"Wow, I've never seen so many fans and reporters before!" After the five people finished the iconic opening action of Infinite Challenge, Zheng Junha sighed for the first time.

"Brother, don't you think those are all to come to see us?" Lu Hongzhe immediately connected skillfully.

"Isn't it?" Fatty also began to enter the rhythm.

"Of course not, ah, ah, haven't you seen it, there are at least half of the orange balloons held in there, okay!" Of course Lu Hongzhe would not miss such a good opportunity.

"Wait a minute, did you get into the theme so quickly?" Liu Zaishi was a little dumbfounded. According to his idea, shouldn't he first introduce what they are doing here, and then invite the guests this time, the four temporary members. what.

"So now it's a fast-paced society. Your mode of hosting is outdated. It's time for me to lead the infinite challenge to glory." Park Mingxiu stood up with excitement. Will not forget the identity of their own 1.5 handle.

"What! That brother!"

"I didn't eat anything bad in the morning!"

"Brother, is it really okay for you to be so unreliable all day long?"

"......"

Park Myung-soo was greeted by a burst of cynicism as always~www.readwn.com~ Yoo Jae-suk also took this opportunity to start taking over the show again.

"Since Hong Zhexi has just revealed it, I believe everyone should also know that this time we have invited incredible guests to participate in this special with us, now, let us invite them out, welcome Junjinxi, Kim Byung Wanxi , Jang Hyuk xi, and also, Jo In Sung xi!"

After Liu Zaishi finished speaking, the four people who had been waiting outside the camera immediately filed in and greeted the members one by one.

Kim Byung-wan visited the uninhabited island last time, so he is an old acquaintance. Junjin is not unfamiliar with several members. Because of his relationship with Kim Jong-kook, Jang Hyuk can also talk to Yoo Jae-suk. One is that he hasn't put down his role as an actor, and the other is really lacking in artistry. Although the members of No Pick have been touting him for a long time, he still only stands with a smirk. For that effect, Zhang Che and Jin Taihao can only use the power. When I asked a vase to comfort myself like this.

In any case, the nine people are barely together, and the next task is to go to the guests invited to participate in the competition and select the gym that needs to be learned. The guests are completely invited by themselves. The members have been notified in advance that they have registered their candidates to the program team. Don't worry about the new four people. The program team will arrange for them, but which one will go to which gym to learn. The controversy is relatively big, not because of the reputation of the gym, but purely because of the distance. After all, not every gym is located very close to Seoul, and some are even in Jeju Island.

Seven of the nine people couldn't argue, and there were two people who were not very good at the show watching the lively situation. The program team proposed that, adhering to the principle of fairness, openness and justice, the production team decided that the selected method was - throwing darts. .
