Chapter 307 Apink News (Part 1)
Before noon, at the recording site of "Runningman" in North Jeolla Province, Kim Jong-ming smiled very happily when he watched the braised Scottish lamb crawling out of the garbage station! To be honest, he has been in a good mood these days, which everyone can see.
However, at the same time, somewhere in Seoul, someone has been feeling a little uncomfortable recently.
"Miss Chulong is nervous?" The pd couldn't help but ask with a smile near a car.
Chulong was silent.
Nanzhu and Pumei next to him covered their mouths and laughed secretly, which made VJ laugh.
"You have to show your determination?" pd reminded him with a smile.
"I will definitely get... the driver's license." Chu Long replied to the camera with some difficulty. "This is my promise to the audience very early, and this is the last two filming of the last season of "apink news". There are only two chances, and I will definitely give my all!"
"Park Cho-long, invincible in the world!"
"Park Cho-long, for my love!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nanzhu and Pumei next to him suddenly raised two support cards high, and immediately attracted the camera lens.
"Thank you two very much, but let it go this time!" Chu Long, who was full of worries, snatched the two support cards. "What if you can't get your driver's license?"
"Candidate No. 1, Park Cho-long!" Just as the three of them were fighting, the driving school office next to them had already begun to announce the order of the road test. "Start quickly!"
Chu Long was immediately struck by lightning, and the two support cards in her hand slipped to the ground without even realizing it. She never expected that she would be the first to get on the car. This was a huge blow to her who had no confidence.
However, what's worse is still behind. After soliciting opinions from the driving school, VJ and PDF in the third season of "apink news" actually took the camera to the test car... Now, Chu Long became even more nervous.
To be honest, I don’t know if it’s the camera’s role. The examiner of this road test gave people a relatively gentle attitude, which is in sharp contrast to Chu Long’s almost pale face next to him.
However, no matter how gentle the examiner is, it is useless. With 57 points, Chu Long simply lost a very precious road test opportunity... Of course, she can take another make-up exam next weekend ten days later, and it is okay to fail the make-up exam next time. Anyway, the days are long! But in fact, because she made a promise to the audience and fans in "apink news" very early, if she really passed the make-up exam, she might be embarrassed, and she might even have to publicly apologize... It's so embarrassing!
However, she took her two sisters back in a depressed mood, but Chu Long couldn't just keep holding her face, because apart from the make-up exam in a week, she still had a lot of shooting tasks for "apink news" in the past two days. Just today, they had to complete the kitchen experience activities, fitness and weight loss activities, the horror movie activities directed by Pu Mei, and of course the road test activities that just failed... In fact, if it weren't for not passing this road test, then this group variety show that started since ANC debuted may have ended completely within a few days!
To be honest, for three seasons, nearly 40 episodes, Chu Long really wants to give this show a relatively complete ending, and this idea will inevitably make her more worried about her failure in the road exam.
So, probably with this feeling, Chu Long tried his best to participate in the next day's shooting.
At the same time, the fitness activities on the other side were taken by three other Apink people in another venue in the morning. This is very easy. In fact, most of the people in Apink are also very easy to use for activities such as fitness. Even wild children like Endi are quite addicted to the gym. The only thing they don’t adapt is probably Nae En, who doesn’t like activities very much.
However, no matter what, at noon, the six people came to the kitchen together to conduct a new round of activities. The shooting was also very smooth. Anyway, Korean variety shows involve cooking, and basically a group of girls were fighting and fighting with resentment about losing weight. However, it is barely worth mentioning that during this shooting, Naeon, the facade of Apink, made a little episode. She looked extremely bumpy when facing the kitchen utensils. In just two minutes, the chef noticed her unfamiliarity and said bluntly that the little girl seemed to have never been in the kitchen in her life.
In fact, the chef's guess was correct. It is said that Miss Sun Naeon had a hot hand in the kitchen when she was a child, and her mother never let her in the kitchen again... The so-called daughter raised by Qingtandong was roughly like this. The speaker was unintentional, and most of the people present didn't care, but the listener was intentional and the more thoughtful Naeon felt a little depressed.
However, this is the summary, because it has not affected the progress of the shooting itself for the time being. However, in the afternoon, there was finally a problem with the shooting of the program. Specifically, there was a problem with the horror movie directed by Yin Pumei!
Well, let's introduce this movie first.
First of all, the source of funds, how did the money come from? The answer was given by Choi Zhenhao. This guy was very excited and happy to see the good ratings of the two seasons before "apink news", so he paid some money as a reward for small games in the show. Then several young kids from apink made games and got three million won, and immediately shouted that he wanted to use the money to make a movie.
The second is the director. Who is the director? The answer is Yin Pumei. Erpu still robbed the director's position by making games.
Then there is the script. How did the script come about? The answer was created by Director Pu Mei himself in the dormitory.
Finally, there is the actor, so there is no need to say this.
In short, this is a "movie" born within the Apink group variety show. It was born to increase the ratings of the group variety show and increase the highlights of the viewership, so it was destined to be a playful movie from the beginning. To put it bluntly, this is actually just a few naughty kids who decided to shoot a few shots with the help of the "Apink News" program team...
But since they are all like this, how can there be problems?
The answer is very simple - our great director Erpu has been so smart that he has been confused for three years, but he really thought he was going to make a movie! She stayed in the dormitory very seriously and wrote the script, assigned roles very well, and even made people speechlessly contact a formal full-time advertising director to take the lead!
By the way, no matter how short the plot or the shoddy shots are, you can't play with millions of won. In fact, three million won is not necessarily enough for a professional photographer in the industry to earn a week. If it weren't for the "apink news" program team... if it was part-time, director Yoon Pumei would probably have discovered what his three million won mean. I'm afraid that the money wouldn't even rent the shooting equipment!
"Well, if you guys, I can consider giving a cost price." In the afternoon of the same day, a director who had filmed MV for Apink seriously considered Pu Mei's warm invitation. "Five million won, I bring my own professional camera and two assistants, but it needs to be completed within a week... Otherwise, I will delay the formal work and lose money!"
This advertising director who had left a good impression on Apink and others in the communication was telling the truth. Not to mention that there were cube staff watching next to him, and the camera was next to him, how could he blatantly get rid of the other party?
Five million won hire him as a professional and two assistants to take a photo for a week, which is really super cost-effective!
And it was this super cost price that poured cold water on the great director Yin Pu's happy ambitions, making her mood look like the intermittent autumn rain outside... Well, maybe it was winter rain, it was actually hard to tell whether it was autumn or winter this season.
However, emotions have a clear driving and disseminating effect. After saying goodbye, Pumei not only felt completely depressed, but also clearly hung on her face. Therefore, in the nanny car, Chu Long, who was obsessed with the next Lu exam next week and Na Eun, who was depressed because of her poor performance, finally revealed the emotions in her heart.
But what's worse is actually still behind. Halfway through the road, Endi, the only one who could control the atmosphere, hurriedly left... She suddenly received a notice from the company that there was an invitation to audition for a musical. As the showrunner walked, the entire apink group seemed to suddenly enter a collective low point.
In this case, the knowledgeable program team PD almost immediately reacted. It is probably difficult for the program to continue shooting with just Nanzhu and Xia Rong, two underage little kids. So, in the nanny car, PD and Li Zhengya discussed it for a while, and then immediately decided to give up the shooting task and let the Apink rest, hoping that they could adjust themselves well and continue tomorrow.
At this time, on the one hand, there was nothing to do, and on the other hand, the time for get off work was not yet here. After a little pause, Li Zhengya decided to take the remaining five Apinks back to the company building first, and then let go. As for Chu Long and the others, after hesitating for a while, they did not go back to the dormitory directly, but chose to join the gym on the ground floor of the company building.
This is also a place they like very much. Here, some people can choose to sweat, and some people can choose to drink coffee to watch others sweat... In short, it is just a way of self-relieving.
However, this way of rescheduling is discounted because I met someone who has been wandering around cube recently.
"We need to find support at this time, right?" Krystal, who met Apink and others, looked very excited. In fact, this girl has been very excited since the college entrance examination.
"What support?" Chu Long, who was lying on the table, looked a little listless, asked back with a little tiredness. "Can you still take the exam for me?"
"That won't be." Krystal shook his head repeatedly. "But Ouni, you can ask me for an assault training? I have good driving skills, and I'm going to get my driver's license next week!"
"Can you train the things in the on-site exam?" Chu Long felt a little angry. "I have been engraved in my mind for a long time, just because I am very nervous when I sit with the examiner..."
Krystal shook his head and came to the next person with a bad face with his hands behind his back: "Do you need support?"
Naeon put down the coffee in her hand, looked up at the relative of the same age. She shook her head slowly, and then asked a question: "It seems that you did a good job in Crystal?"
"It's not bad." Krystal replied calmly. "So I've been having fun these two days, what about you?"
"Anyway, there is no problem with the art special in Dongguo University." Na'en replied in a self-taught manner. In fact, the reason why she was depressed by a joke from someone else in the kitchen was largely because she had not felt very happy these days. On the one hand, she was very tired of activities, and on the other hand, no matter what activities it was or things like the college entrance examination, she did not show any outstanding performance, which made her feel a little depressed.
Krystal originally wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a while, he shook his head and bypassed the relative, and turned to the third person who had his emotions on his face: "Does this junior, need support?"
Pumei was stunned for a long time before she realized what the hell is the name "Second Master Oni", but she did not distract each other from the tribe like the other two... By the way, this girl Krystal has always been in the same way as the other two people. In unfamiliar people and scenes, she is so nervous or reserved that she can't even show her smile. But if she gets familiar with someone, she will be very noisy. Pumei is very similar to her to some extent, but after the two get familiar with each other, they can really get along well.
"So there is no money, no props, no... actors?" Krystal took his eyes blankly from Xia Rong who was running. "Why are there no actors?"
"Endi is gone, I'm not even an actor."
"What do you have in Pumeoni?" Krystal asked seriously as he looked at the other person's face.
"I have a good script!" Pumei replied with a serious look on her face.
Krystal's face suddenly became a little weird, and her eyebrows couldn't help but droop into a horoscope... To be honest, she felt that compared to the person who was easy to talk to in front of her, Chu Long's worries and Na'en's depression seemed easy to understand.
"I really have a good script!" Pu Mei naturally saw some of the other party's psychological activities, so she tried hard to emphasize it again.
Krystal rolled his eyes and decided not to argue with the stubborn people: "It's okay to have a good script. I heard Wood say that if there is really a good script, then the subsequent investment will be without any actors. If you lack investment, you can invest. If you really lack actors, you can also ask other idols for your company to help... But the key point is that the script is really good."
"I think it's really a good script!" Pumei reiterated her 'good script' for the third time.
Krystal tilted his head and thought for a while, and decided to kick the ball out: "I came here because Wood and I, Oni, just returned from Jeollado, would he have read your script?"
Chu Long and Na Eun rolled their eyes together. How could they not hear that Zheng Ermao was playing football? But Pu Mei's eyes flashed for instinct... She was moved.
To be honest, if Kim Jong-ming said something, then this short film might have been shot and may even be released!
As for whether Pumei dares to look for each other, it does not exist. It really does not exist. This is not because Zheng Ermao is a broker here, but that every company has its own culture.
For example, s.m company pays attention to one rule. Whether it is the management of artists or the normal business operation process within the company, it is very strict. Not only are the public interactions between senior executives and artists rarely seen, but even the internal staff are well-layered and the organizational structure is clear; yg company pays attention to a tight outside and loose inside, and it seems particularly strict outside, but in fact, all disciplines are maintained by the boss's chrysanthemum face. Don't say anything casual in private.
Even if there is a cannabis used for grass-stained parties on the roof of the YG building, it is hard to say whether it is produced and sold by itself; where is JYP, it is important to have a three palace, six courtyard, seventy-two concubines, who are favored by the boss, and they can pick up the moon company in the sky, and those who are not favored by the person who is sent to the cold palace; there is also a ccm, which also has its own culture. It is said that they emphasize that a boss thinks of wherever he thinks, and everything is based on the boss's cleverness, and never engage in a culture of deep-strategic strategy...
Then back to cube... Cube company has naturally developed a company culture with obvious colors. Not to mention anything else, I will talk about one of the characteristics, that is, smooth communication between the upper and lower levels. The company's senior management rarely puts on airs and talks about qualifications, and pays attention to being generous and kind to artists and bottoms.
The advantages and disadvantages of doing this will not be analyzed yet, but this feature is estimated to not change significantly for a long time, because the reasons for the appearance of this feature are multifaceted.
First of all, of course, it is because the company has a weak historical foundation and is too short to establish. Except for the veterans at the beginning, most of the members of such a large company are newcomers. Everyone has just arrived, and most of them have changed jobs... So why is it calculated that who is the senior and who is the junior?
Secondly, let’s talk about the actual leaders of this company. Among them, Hong Shengcheng’s image of Bodhisattva is too obvious. When he was still in JYP, he was very good at communicating with the lower-level staff, and often communicated directly with idols and even trainees. Otherwise, he would not have attracted so many people back then. Kim Jong-ming himself was very young, and there were not many artists signed in the movie category, but most of them were his elders, seniors, etc.
The character, he actually did even better than that in this regard. Even Cui Zhenhao, the image of the cold-faced monster, is relatively similar. If you really compare it with other companies' representative presidents, you will find that he is still easy to talk to. This guy has appeared in the group variety show on Apink more than once. Once, he let Endi draw his own exaggerated comic portrait in person, and after finishing it, he sneered at Endi's painter!
According to rumors, Xia Rong even borrowed money from Cui Zhenhao in private... The reason was that she needed to spend money on games but did not bring her wallet!
You want Sunny to borrow money from his uncle to try to spend money?
In short, the above will be effective. Under the leadership of such a few people, almost the entire company of cube will be like this. There will never be a qualitative change just because Hong Shengcheng left for a few months.
So, after a night, Pu Mei finally decided to go to Kim Jong-ming to get sponsorship, and at least she had to ask the other party to judge her "masterpiece" with a professional perspective.
And the other people who went there were a slightly helpless Apink and the interesting "apink news" filming team.
"So, something strange will happen after a person is bitten by this cat?" Putting down the A4 papers in his hand, Kim Jong-ming asked Pu Mei, who was standing in front of his desk with a puzzled look on his face.
"Oh." Pumei replied seriously. "I got this cat from coal..."
"I can see it." Kim Jong-ming nodded repeatedly, stopping the other party's narrative. "Coal is indeed weird. But let's not talk about this for now. You have to tell me what will happen after a person is bitten by a cat? Is it just that he is simply sick and hospitalized, and then he wakes up and has another trace of being caught on his neck?"
"Isn't it enough?" Pumei asked in confusion.
"It sounds like the bite is just a serious bite." Kim Jong-ming asked in confusion. "What's weird?"
Pumei couldn't help but scratch her head: "I mean, the bitten person will be occupied by the soul of the cat demon when he wakes up..."
"Where does it show it?" Jin Zhongming continued to ask speechlessly. "If there are no serious consequences, why do you say that a person is occupied by a cat's soul? There is a scar on the neck? Is that different from multiple tattoos on the neck?"
"I didn't think so much..."
"And there is no explanation for why coal is qualified to cause such consequences? Is it a cat demon? Or is it a resentful person because he has been hurt? Also, in how will this soul-occupied model be expanded and spread? Will people who are occupied by cats continue to bite people?"
"I actually didn't think so much..." Pumei was already thinking about leaving here quickly.
"I'll tell the truth, Pu Mei." In front of the camera of "apink news", Kim Jong-ming cooperated very much and handed the other party's masterpiece back. "Your sheets, let alone scripts, didn't even tell a story with a beginning and an end, and the logic inside was chaotic... To be honest, fast food horror movies can have no theme, but at least they have to have a story, right?"
Chu Long and Na Eun, Nan Zhu and Xia Rong all looked like they knew they had known this...
Looking at the expressions of the people around him, although he had given up in his heart, Pumei couldn't help but continue to defend herself: "I'm really serious about writing..."
"Just take this." Jin Zhongming glanced at Chu Long, who was in a low mood and didn't say much, and stopped the topic a little arrogantly. "But no matter what, let's stop this 'script'..."
"Yes!" Pumei nodded helplessly and agreed, and then prepared to say goodbye. "We..."
"But since everyone is here, you can't let you go back empty-handed." Kim Jong-ming continued, while secretly glanced at Chulong again. The latter was confused and seemed to have not reacted. "Let's do this, I'll write a script for you. Let's spend ten days making a simple and fast-food horror movie! How about it?"
"Wood, Baker and I want to join in a friendly manner!" Krystal, sitting in the corner of the office, held Baker with one hand and raised the other, as if the girl was the first to react.
"Yes, you'll be the first victim..." Kim Jong-ming replied calmly.
Chu Long suddenly realized and was confused.
Chapter completed!
