Chapter 344 Can GD participate in this show?
After Quan·Xiaogougou·Zhilongxi finishes recording the finale of "Song Festival", he will have a concert at the Hunan International Convention and Exhibition Center in Changsha in a few days.
Regarding this province, which is not as famous as Zhangjiajie in South Korea, his first reaction was Zhangjiajie. On the way back to the hotel, he searched for videos of Zhangjiajie with great interest. When he saw the "filial sons of South Korea" taking their parents to climb the mountain, he couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone says this is a place that Koreans must visit before they die. Is it true?"
He even muttered quietly: "Why not ask my mom and the other four to come over? They don't have work to do these two days anyway."
Ye-eun glanced at him and thought, "You don't like climbing mountains, and with your personality, would you listen to what 'everyone says'?" However, seeing that Kwon Ji-yong was concentrating on watching the video, she deliberately joked, "So, will 'Kwon Hyo-ja' bring my mom and the others along? Are you going to climb mountains? I heard that the highest peak in Zhangjiajie is over 1,500 meters."
Sure enough, Quan Zhilong, who was still mumbling about bringing four elders to climb the mountain, suddenly put down his phone and held Yien's hand worriedly, "That's too high, our Yien is still injured."
He gently touched the band-aid on Yien's palm, as if he was really worried that this little injury would affect Yien's climbing. "We'll talk about it when you're better."
Did I scratch my hand or did I limp my leg? Yien tried to hold back her laughter and even wanted to tear off the Band-Aid on the palm of her hand. Maybe she has healed now?
She lowered her head and touched the Band-Aid on her hand, pretending to tear it off. Quan Zhilong immediately grabbed Yien's wrist, his eyes firm: "Moya, don't be like this, take good care of yourself if you are injured."
"But maybe he's recovered! Then we can go hiking!" Ye-eun looked at Quan Zhilong with a smile, "I'll give you a chance to be a filial son."
Quan Zhilong thought about the mountains he had just seen. Unlike the mountains in South Korea, the mountains in South Korea are not high but most of them are undeveloped. Climbing them is not tiring, but difficult. The mountains in China are so high that he can tell what kind of inhuman torture his legs will suffer just by looking at them.
He cleared his throat and changed the subject: "Oh my god, my mom and the others are busy now, how can they have time to climb the mountain? Let's talk about it next time."
Anyway, he was injured and his elders were busy, so it was impossible that Quan Zhilong himself didn't want to go.
Knowing that the other party had no interest in climbing the mountain, Ye-eun suppressed her laughter and finally let him go: "Well, after all, my hand was injured so badly, I really need to rest well."
The driver, bodyguard and assistant in the car listened to the conversation between the two silently. The local driver arranged by the Chinese side was bilingual. While listening to their conversation, he silently glanced at the two of them through the rearview mirror.
Now that her husband is here, the female artist's state is a little different from the past two days. Although she was smiling politely and even joking with the assistant bodyguard in the previous two days, she looked obviously more relaxed today.
Hearing the sound of two people quarreling in the back, the driver couldn't help but laugh.
It is difficult for couples in this industry to maintain such a relationship after so many years.
After Quan Zhilong finally "persuaded" Yi Eun not to go to Zhangjiajie, he followed her back to the hotel and immediately saw someone opening the door next door to pick up food.
He is a senior artist whom I just met at the recording site of Yeeun.
It should be the unified accommodation arranged by the program team for the guests. He smiled and bent down again to greet them. Seeing them, the female Hong Kong star seemed a little surprised. She let her assistant in and waved and said hello: "Ah! You are back so soon?"
"Yes, Teacher Cai, you didn't go back to Hong Kong today?" Yi En greeted her with a smile. When Hong Kong Xing heard her unfamiliar way of addressing him, she waved her hand and said, "Hey! Just call me Fenjie~"
This female artist who has debuted for many years can get along well with the female host and is very familiar with her. When she heard Yien generously change her name to "Sister Fen", she directly hooked Yien's shoulders and said with a smile: "You are awesome today... If your husband comes to one of the episodes, the production team will definitely be very happy!"
Unlike other programs that sign fixed guests, this program does not restrict guests from withdrawing midway due to its intensity. After all, not everyone can persist in working for nearly two hours under such an intense game.
However, before Ye-eun could refuse the invitation from Sister Fen, Quan Zhilong smiled and said, "I have a concert in two days."
He has participated in quite a few variety shows in Korea, but in China he rarely attends activities other than concerts and FMs. Sister Fen naturally understood Quan Zhilong's tactful refusal. She didn't ask any more questions. She waved her food at the two of them and said, "Okay, you guys go eat quickly. I'll go eat first too."
Yien curled the corners of her mouth and waved to the other person, then turned around and pushed Quan Zhilong back to her room.
After Ye Eun washed up, the assistant brought her dinner. She took a look and saw that Kwon Ji-yong was already sitting cross-legged in front of the coffee table, peeling shrimps with gloves on.
Because the crayfish in Changsha were different from the ones he usually saw, Quan Zhilong's movements in peeling the crayfish seemed more unfamiliar. He held the shrimps on top of the lunch box, squinted his eyes and peeled off the shrimp shells bit by bit, for fear that the shrimp juice, which looked very spicy, would splash on him.
Yi Eun sat cross-legged across from him, watching his slow movements without rushing him, but instead her heart softened because of his everyday appearance.
She propped up her chin and looked at Quan Zhilong, smiling and asking, "Why did you refuse the recording so quickly? Don't you want to participate in the show with me?"
This is different from the slightly derogatory term "variety show star" in China. In Korea, many fans get to know Korean artists through various Korean variety shows and then pay attention to their performances. Having a sense of variety shows and appearing on screen frequently are actually plus points for Korean artists.
Quan Zhilong naturally did not reject being on variety shows, but he still looked at her when he heard her say that. He placed the shrimp he had finally peeled in front of Yi Eun and muttered, "Where do I have the time?"
Although he has participated in many variety shows in Korea, they were all for the purpose of promoting his songs, and he rarely participated in shows outside of his comeback period. He can't promote his songs on this show.
Kwon Ji-yong, whose mind is filled with "music", "love", "music", and "love", thought that if it was a couple variety show, he would consider it.
Yi Eun looked at Kwon Ji-yong's inexplicably smug expression, put on gloves with a smile, and under Kwon Ji-yong's shocked gaze, she easily "cut off the head and tail" of the shrimp, and in an instant, the piece of shrimp meat was peeled out cleanly and neatly.
She placed the shrimps in Kwon Ji-yong's bowl, and her mind began to race. This year, Bigbang's tour in China was not limited to first-tier cities, but tickets for second- and third-tier cities were also sold out instantly.
It is well deserved that Bigbang is the most popular Korean group in China at this stage. Even the price offered by Mango TV for Bigbang's New Year's Eve Gala is calculated based on how much money per minute.
It is estimated that the news of GD's arrival in Changsha has been passed on to the ears of the senior management by the staff of Mango TV. Ye Eun looked at Kwon Ji-yong with a smile and thought, oh my god, I wonder how much the program crew will offer this time?
Kwon Ji-yong looked at Ye-eun and shook his head. With his strong learning ability, he immediately learned the correct way to peel crayfish. The next time he handled the shrimp, he was able to peel out the shrimp meat easily and completely.
This time, Yi-eun looked at the shrimp that was put in her bowl again, picked it up with a smile and passed it to Quan Zhilong's mouth. Quan Zhilong was not polite. After taking a bite, he felt the spicy taste of the fresh shrimp in his mouth, and looked up at Yi-eun in surprise: "Mo Ya, it's more delicious than I thought!"
Of course, every province, city and county in China has its own "food self-esteem".
The reason why Hunan crayfish can stand out among all the Hunan delicacies is naturally because it is delicious enough.
However, Ye-eun looked at the way Quan Zhilong ate lobster with rice, shook her head and said with a smile: "There will be something even more delicious later."
Kwon Ji-yong was looking forward to something "better", but until he was full and had tried all the crayfish, stinky tofu, sugar-coated rice cakes, and golden eggs on the table, and even after they had brushed their teeth, the "better" thing Ye-eun mentioned had not been served yet.
He sighed, watching his assistant packing up, holding Ye-eun's hand, and whispered, "Where are the better foods?"
In front of him was the other person's hand stretched out to ask for "delicious food", and Ye-eun raised her hand and shook it, deliberately teasing him: "What do you think it is?"
Mo ah...
Kwon Ji-yong raised his eyes and stared at Yi-eun's mouth. His ears suddenly felt hot. He glanced at the assistant who was still cleaning the table behind them, and thought that it was not good for Yi-eun to "hook up" with him in front of others.
But how could he not eat the "delicious food" that was served to him? He simply pulled Yeen's hand, and when he held Yeen in his arms, he lowered his head at an angle where Yeen's assistant couldn't see.
Anyway, the staff around them are already used to them kissing each other.
It wasn't enough to be kissed secretly on the mouth. The other party bent down to kiss her like a deer pecking at a spring. Yien turned around with a smile, and when she heard the doorbell, she said in the other party's puzzled look: "The delicious food is here."
"......?" Quan Zhilong thought that he was already full and was going to have a "midnight snack" after Zhujia left, so he had no room for other food.
He muttered quietly, "I don't have an appetite at this time."
However, when he saw Ye-eun raising her eyebrows to signal her assistant to open the door, he let go of his arm around Ye-eun.
Unlike what he expected, the person who came was not the waiter delivering food, but two Mango TV staff members wearing work badges and a man in a suit who looked like a senior executive. He blinked and nodded to them, then watched Yien walk straight towards him, guessing that the other party might be here to check with Yien about her future work schedule.
Kwon Ji-yong sat on a chair in the bedroom of the suite, supporting his chin with his hand and looking at Ye-eun in the living room. As expected, they came to check the itinerary. Although they spoke Chinese at an astonishing speed, Kwon Ji-yong, whose Chinese had been getting better and better in recent years, still understood roughly what they heard.
Well, Ye-eun received high praise from the staff for her "amazing performance" on the show today, but she was also "warned" not to climb trees or drill...drill through dog holes! ?
Quan Zhilong suspected that he had heard it wrong, and thought that his Chinese still needed improvement.
When Ye-eun heard that "drilling through a bridge hole" was changed to "drilling through a dog hole" through rumors, her pupils trembled. She looked up at the Mango TV staff with a shocked look in her eyes: "Who drilled through a dog hole? I didn't!"
"..." This time, Kwon Ji-yong confirmed that he heard the word "dog" that he had learned since childhood. Unlike the worry he felt when he knew that Yi-eun climbed a tree, he actually wanted to laugh when he knew that Yi-eun crawled into a dog hole.
However, there were outsiders present, so he covered his mouth to hold back his laughter. When he heard Ye-eun arguing with the staff about what the hole was, he almost suffocated himself in the bedroom.
"Oh, sorry, it's the bridge hole..." The staff member peeked at GD who was almost laughing and lying on the bed through the crack in the door, finally took a deep breath, and stated his second task for the day.
"Ye-eun, GDxi, are you interested in our show?" He looked at Ye-eun with a "kind" smile, "The station director said that since Bigbang is willing to appear during the New Year's Eve, they should not be opposed to participating in a show on our station."
The deputy director right behind him smiled silently.
The "good food" is finally here. Yien smiled and shook her head, "I can't make the decision for him, why don't you ask him yourself?"
I didn't expect that these two people who seemed childish in their fighting and playing around could actually get along well with each other. Not making decisions for each other at work is something that many celebrity couples cannot do. The deputy director nodded.
Although they think that based on the news they saw online, as long as Ye-eun decides for GD, GD will definitely participate, but now talking to GD himself...
I always feel there is little hope. The two staff members looked at each other, and the deputy director who had been silent behind them started laughing.
It's good to be able to talk.
The one who was called out, Quan Zhilong, looked at Ye Eun and wanted to refuse by saying that there was not enough time, but the deputy director smiled and said, "We know that you are very busy, GD, but Chinese fans also hope to see you more in China. You also know that it is really difficult for foreign fans to see you."
fan……
Indeed, if I could participate in a Chinese program, I wonder how happy my Chinese fans would be.
Thinking about this in his heart, Kwon Ji-yong's expression obviously relaxed. Yi-eun looked at the middle-aged man and thought that he was worthy of being a leader.
He immediately found Quan Zhilong's weak spot.
Although the deputy director was also sitting on the sofa, he kept a certain distance from the two of them. Looking at the two people looking at each other, he smiled and said again: "And our program is really interesting. GD, you and Ye Eun can play on it together."
Very good...it hit his two sore spots at once. Kwon Ji-yong glanced at Ye-eun and seemed to begin to seriously consider the possibility of participating in the show.
The deputy director slightly closed the social distance and took out his phone with a smile, "By the way, GD may not know what kind of program our program is, so he is hesitant. You can watch some clips from our first episode. It's very interesting."
He pulled up the video on his phone and handed it to Kwon Ji-yong without looking in Ye-eun’s direction, “Look.”
Quan Zhilong took the phone and saw on the screen his wife being discovered by a hunter while on a mission. After being chased, she turned a corner to get rid of the hunter. The sight of her being chased made him a little nervous.
He stared at the screen without blinking.
Yi-eun stared at the video, and a bad omen ran through her mind. However, this was the phone of the deputy director of Mango TV, and she certainly couldn't just snatch it away...
Sure enough, the next moment, the scene changed, and the cool self suddenly turned into a person squatting in the bridge hole with his butt sticking up.
Kwon Ji-yong burst out laughing and was about to tease Ye-eun, but the next moment he remembered that there were staff and leaders from Mango TV in his room, so he held back his laughter and focused on watching the video.
Ye-eun, who felt clever and smart while teasing the hunter in the bridge hole, looked at herself who looked extremely funny on the screen, took a deep breath, silently looked away, and looked at the assistant who brought coffee to the staff with a curled mouth, and said with a smile: "Ouni, give it to me."
Calm down with a cup of bitter coffee.
The guilty deputy director also took a sip of the coffee. As soon as the icy American coffee took a sip, he silently put it down.
It's really unpalatable, the deputy director who has already started to take care of his health thought to himself, why do Koreans like to drink something that tastes like swill at the same time, and like Chinese medicine at the same time.
Quan Zhilong also doesn't like coffee. He didn't touch the coffee on the table, but continued to watch the video attentively.
Ye-eun above had already started climbing the tree, and the way she jumped up like a monkey scared him so much.
After the video was finished, he held back his laughter and returned the phone to the deputy director: "Ah... this program seems to be quite interesting."
The deputy director stared at Ye-eun's "smiling" gaze and spoke slowly according to the foreigner's Chinese proficiency: "Right, if GD is interested, you can consider it. Our station will give us the greatest sincerity."
The greatest sincerity is naturally the notification fee. He looked at the two of them with confidence, thinking that as the richest TV station in the country, they could invite the entire Bigbang group to celebrate the New Year, and even have them sing several songs in a row. The budget for inviting GD had already been approved at a sky-high price by the station director after he heard that GD had arrived in Changsha.
Kwon Ji-yong didn't have any thoughts about the announcement fee. Instead, when he thought of Yi-eun's actions in the video just now, he couldn't help but look at Yi-eun with a smile on his face.
Yien took a deep breath, maintained a smile on her face and looked at the deputy director: "Deputy Director, I have sensed your sincerity..."
I showed my sincerity to GD, but it was gained by sacrificing my image!
"Well, it's going to be broadcast anyway." The deputy director touched his nose, and thought about his own actions, and stuttered a little, "It's okay to show it to your husband in advance."
Seeing the deputy director's rare guilty look, the two staff members lowered their heads and curled their lips.
When Kwon Ji-yong heard the word "husband", he looked at Yi-eun silently. Although he still sat up straight and politely, the direction of his gaze seemed to have put the decision-making power in Yi-eun's hands.
Yi En glanced at him and pretended to be sad: "Hey, Mango TV attaches so much importance to us, we are naturally very grateful to Mango TV, but Zhilong is indeed very busy. Deputy Director, you should also know that his concert in Changsha is in two days, right? And there will be an FM after the concert."
As the deputy director of Mango TV, he naturally knew about GD's announcement. He immediately said, "It doesn't have to be the next episode. GD can record an episode any day he is free. We can find a time when everyone has plenty of time."
Yien's smile deepened, "No, Director, you misunderstood me. I meant that we, Zhilong, rarely participate in programs other than music..."
“…Ah.” The deputy director thought, but “Running Man” has nothing to do with music…
Seeing Ye-eun looking at him with a smile, the deputy director was a little dazed. He heard that Korean singers go on the show to promote their songs, but China does not have such a tradition of promoting songs. We can't change "Ace vs Ace" into a music program.
However, when he met Ye-eun's gaze, he suddenly understood something and laughed helplessly: "Ah, we have an episode with the theme of an amusement park, and the amusement park facilities are quite suitable for playing songs. And we have two trump cards. Many games on this year's show are very suitable for playing Bigbang and 2NE1 songs."
Of course, I won’t forget to pay the copyright fees.
Yeen smiled and said nothing.
The deputy director looked at Ye-eun and thought carefully in his heart again. In recent years, Korean wave has been really popular in China. Korean dramas and Korean groups have almost crushed the local entertainment industry. However, unlike Korean dramas that can be broadcast in China, no matter how many people go to see Korean singers' concerts, they are still a minority in China.
I heard that the members of the group Bigbang are going to start enlisting in the military one by one. So when the group stops touring in China, the popularity may slowly fade. The way to maintain their popularity is to keep "appearing" in the public eye.
So... compared to playing more songs now, maybe the other party cares about next year? "Hey, we have a show next year and we might invite artists from China and South Korea to participate," he said tentatively, "Maybe a member of Bigbang could participate? If we can invite a member..."
He glanced at Quan Zhilong and thought, No way! GD is willing to participate in a regular program?
Ye-eun curled her lips and pretended to be casual: "Jirong will be very busy with his music work next year. The other members of Bigbang and 2NE1 may have more time."
I see. It’s definitely impossible for the most popular member to be that person. The deputy director smiled and understood what was going on.
"We are honored no matter who can participate. Hey, our station's post-production staff is all young people, and we especially like your two groups!"
Only then did Yeen smile with satisfaction. Which artist doesn't want to be more popular and have his or her music heard by more people?
2NE1 is fine, but Bigbang, who are already reaching the age for military service, need to consider their upcoming military service period in advance.
If you can’t appear in front of the public, then let music appear more often.
She took out her phone and opened a green bubble app: "Director, please add me on WeChat. I will send you the contact information of Zhilong's China agent. You can ask the staff to communicate about the follow-up work."
Once the deal is done, he becomes the director... The two staff members stared in amazement at the two people who seemed to have said nothing but had agreed on everything. They felt that their brains were a little overwhelmed.
Was it that GD was "sold" by his wife for a good price, or was his own TV station being "plotted" against?
Yien and the director looked at each other and smiled. No, it’s just a win-win situation. No, it’s a win-win situation for all three parties.
After all, Zhilong also likes this show very much.
