In 2000, the hosts of "Happy Camp" were He Jiong and Li Xiang. He Jiong was still very young at that time and had not yet grown into Teacher He who was celebrated by thousands of people.

At this time, Xie Na, the "Sister Po" from Malanshan, had not yet joined "Happy Camp". She should still be dating Liu Ye. Xie Na and Liu Ye collaborated on a TV series "Happy Street" last year, and the two met because of the play and got together.

Li Xiang is a good host, but Xie Na's hosting is more humorous. Song Yi still remembers Xie Na's words "I am Miss Ma from Malan Mountain, Malan Slope, Malan Town, and Malan Village". Malan Mountain is also used by Mango TV artists as a nickname for the show "Happy Camp".

Before the program was officially recorded, the program director, host and recording guests held a short meeting to discuss the program process, which games there would be, and the questions that the guests needed to answer, all of which had scripts.

Although Consul Lee Se-myung and Counselor Zhou Hao of the South Korean Embassy will also participate in the recording of the program, they will not attend the rehearsal of the program.

Song Hye Kyo secretly asked Song Yi, "We come here to record the show, don't we have any notice fee?" Moon Geun Young was sitting next to Song Hye Kyo, also waiting for Song Yi's answer.

"Mango TV is a state-owned TV station, unlike SBS. In fact, the guests invited by Happy Camp do not receive any notice fee. The guests come to this program mainly to promote their works, upcoming TV series or new albums and singles. How could the program team pay the guests notice fees?"

"The TV station arranged round-trip air tickets and hotel accommodation for us, which is already VIP treatment. Some young artists even prepared gifts for the hosts in order to get more screen time," said Song Yi.

The program recording officially started. He Jiong and Li Xiang first interacted with the audience in the studio and asked them if they had watched the popular drama "Autumn in My Heart" on Mango TV. The audience enthusiastically answered "yes". He Jiong asked everyone which character in the TV series they liked the most? Everyone answered "Enxi" without any prior agreement.

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Today we are honored to invite Eun Hee to meet you all. She is Eun Hee from "Autumn in My Heart". Please welcome our Miss Song Hye Kyo!"

Song Hye Kyo came on stage, and He Jiong reminded, "Hello, Miss Song, say hello to everyone quickly."

Song Hye Kyo took the microphone and said in Chinese: "Hello, good evening, everyone. I am Song Hye Kyo. I am very happy. This is my first time to be on a variety show in mainland China, and I am on Mango TV, your show."

He Jiong nodded and said, "Then you've come to the right place. We are the most popular show in Xiangnan."

Song Hye Kyo agreed, “I think so too.”

Li Xiang sighed beside her, "Ms. Song speaks Chinese really well, has she practiced it specially?"

Song Hye Kyo explained: "A little bit. My translator is Chinese and he taught me well."

He Jiong continued to ask: "Ms. Song, do you want to come to the mainland to film in the future?"

Song Hye Kyo nodded and said, "If there is a good opportunity, I would definitely do it."

After the contact was over, Song Hye Kyo began to show her talent and sang "Prayer", the theme song of "Autumn in My Heart", on the spot.

Song Yi and Moon Geun-young stood by, waiting to appear. Moon Geun-young said with emotion, "Sister Hye-kyo sang really well." If the lyrics of the original singer, Jung Il-young, sang out hope, then Song Hye-kyo's version was undoubtedly more sad, and it also fits the theme of "Autumn in My Heart".

After Song Hye Kyo finished singing, Song Yi and Moon Geun Young appeared hand in hand. Moon Geun Young's Chinese was obviously not as fluent as Song Hye Kyo's. After she simply greeted Song Yi, she politely stood beside him, waiting for his translation.

Li Xiang looked at Song Yi, "Wow, is this Miss Song's translator? He's so handsome? He looks like a movie star."

He Jiong deliberately stood a little to the side, "I can't stand with the handsome translator, otherwise I will feel height pressure."

Song Yi smiled and said, "Maybe I am a little taller than Teacher He, but Teacher He's knowledge is far more profound than mine. Standing next to Teacher He, I should be the one feeling pressured."

Li Xiang exclaimed, "Song Yi is so good at talking, he must be very popular with girls. Does he have a girlfriend?"

Song Yi told the truth, "I already have one."

Li Xiang continued to gossip, "Is it Miss Song Hye Kyo?" The audience's gossip fire was burning, waiting for Song Hye Kyo's answer.

Song Hye Kyo denied, "His girlfriend is much prettier than me."

The audience was a little unconvinced. They had seen Song Hye Kyo's advertisements. Whether it was her height, skin, or figure, they were all impeccable. How could Song Yi's girlfriend be prettier than Song Hye Kyo? Song Yi continued to show his affection on the show, "Ms. Song Hye Kyo is of course very beautiful, but in my heart, my girlfriend is definitely the most beautiful. After all, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." Jin Xiyuan, who was sitting in the audience, nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.

Finally, they played a group game against each other. I don't know if Li Xiang did it on purpose, but she assigned Song Yi to her group, and Song Hye Kyo and Moon Geun Young to the same group, and named them the Korean Team and the Chinese Team.

As a result, Song Yi didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he knocked Li Xiang to the ground, allowing Song Hye Kyo's team to win easily.

Song Yi knew that Li Xiang had been married twice, first to a wealthy businessman named Li, and later to Wang Yuelun, with a very clear purpose. It has become a standard for beautiful female hosts to marry wealthy businessmen. Due to their work, they are more likely to come into contact with rich people, but few couples are happy after marriage.

Li Xiang knew that Song Yi was not an ordinary translator. He had businesses in both China and South Korea, including an advertising company in Yanjing and an entertainment agency in Seoul. She also wanted to leave a good impression on Song Yi, but Song Yi didn't seem to be very interested in her.

After the game, Li Shiming and Zhou Hao appeared separately. Consul Li Shiming welcomed Chinese tourists to visit South Korea and watch the Japan-Korea World Cup next year in Chinese. On behalf of the Korean Embassy, ​​Zhou Hao thanked Mango TV for its important contribution to promoting cultural exchanges between China and South Korea.

After the recording of the program was completed, Song Yi accompanied Li Shiming, Zhou Hao, Song Hye Kyo, and Moon Geun Young to attend the reception dinner hosted by Mango TV. The leaders of Mango TV attended the dinner. Song Yi attended the dinner as the president of New Asia Entertainment and the special cultural advisor of the Korean Embassy.

Among these leaders, Song Yi noticed a deputy director with the surname Ouyang. In less than two years, this person will become the head of Mango TV. During the dinner, Song Yi deliberately had a few more drinks with this deputy director to leave a good impression.

For Song Yi, introducing "Autumn in My Heart" is just the beginning of the Korean Wave. Song Yi plans to shoot "Jewel in the Palace" in advance, and Song Hye Kyo or Kim Tae Hee are both suitable candidates for the leading role.

The World Cup in Japan and South Korea has made South Korea famous. After the World Cup, the South Korean government must think about how to continue to attract foreign tourists to South Korea. So shooting a TV series that promotes South Korean traditional culture has become an inevitable choice. The reason why "Dae Jang Geum" starring Lee Young-ae has become popular in Asia is also promoted by the South Korean government.

So, if New Asia Entertainment filmed "Dae Jang Geum", the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism would provide special funding support, which means the government paid New Asia Entertainment to film the TV series. This is not uncommon in Korea. "Descendants of the Sun" was a big hit in China and South Korea, and then-President Chung Geum-hye agreed to the government to allocate 17.1 billion won to promote Korean culture.

After the trip to Star City, Song Yi returned to Yanjing. However, not long after he arrived home, he heard a shocking piece of news from Zhou Shulan.

"What? Have you found your relatives in Korea? Is the information reliable?" Song Yi was skeptical.

There are too many scammers pretending to be looking for relatives these days. Some parents whose children have been abducted publish their contact information online with hope, but they are disappointed again and again.

Song Yi had just started to make a name for himself in Seoul, and some people said he was Zhou Shulan's relative. This was too much of a coincidence.

Zhou Shulan nodded, "It should be correct. I have already sent the hair sample to Asan Hospital in Seoul, and they have done the identification."

"But if I go to recognize my relatives now, they may not welcome us. They are worried that we are poor relatives asking for money. Also, I found out that there are many conflicts within their family and it is a turbulent time." Zhou Shulan explained.

Song Yi was a little surprised. After hearing what Zhou Shulan said, it was obvious that Zhou Shulan's relatives in Korea had an extraordinary family background.

Song Yi said to Zhou Shulan: "It doesn't matter. You can admit it if you want to, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to."

Zhou Shulan said: "Your grandmother married North Korea from South Korea. Due to the war, she could not return to South Korea and died very early. At that time, in order to escape the war, your grandfather brought us to the border state and settled down there."

"I have six uncles and one aunt in South Korea. My eldest uncle was seriously ill and missed his sister, your grandmother, whom he hadn't contacted for decades. Finally, his family contacted North Korea, and North Korea contacted Bianzhou, and finally found me." Zhou Shulan continued.

"I just found out that my uncle is actually a big shot in South Korea. He is Zhou Zhengyong, the chairman of Hyundai Group. He is now receiving treatment at Eshan Hospital. After he learned that your grandmother had passed away, he hoped to meet me." Zhou Shulan was a little sad. Although she had never met this uncle, she also knew that Zhou Zhengyong would not live long.

After Zhou Shulan finished speaking, Song Yi was completely stunned, "Mom, you call him uncle, then what should I call him?"

Zhou Shulan blamed her son, "Silly boy, if I call him uncle, you must call him great uncle."

Song Yi thought about it. The Hyundai Group was split last year. Although Zhou Mengxian, the fifth son of Zhou Zhengyong, took the position of chairman of the Hyundai Group as he wished, the assets were far less than those of Hyundai Motor and Hyundai Heavy Industries.

Even if Zhou Shulan goes to Seoul, she must stay away from the infighting in the modern family. After all, Zhou Shulan's cousins ​​are not easy to deal with.

"Mom, if you want to go to Seoul, I will make the arrangements. You can secretly go to the hospital to see my uncle. Don't notify other people first. People who don't know might think you are here to fight for the family property." Song Yi said.
