Chapter 157 No kidding?!
Cha Tae Hyun's reply was quick. That night, he called Kim Jong-ming to visit his house the next day, saying that he wanted to sweep the bed to greet him.
"Let's be at home and bring Baker over. My child likes that kind of big dog, but he doesn't dare to raise it." This is what Cha Tae Hyun said.
Since the attitude was so straight, Kim Jong-ming would naturally cooperate. So the next morning, when he went to Cha Tae-hyun's house, he not only took Baker, but also brought Rystl who happened to have time. One of the brothers and sisters carried a small gift for the four-year-old child and the other was holding a dog, and each had a regular home clothes. Yiyiran went to Cha Tae-hyun's residence.
However, what surprised Kim Jong-ming was that it was not only Cha Tae-hyun who came out of the other party's house to the door of the apartment building to welcome him, but Cha Tae-hyun's family of three, or four, because Mrs. Cha Tae-hyun was pregnant with their second child at this moment, and it was five or six months old. In addition, Kim Jong-kook, Cha Tae-hyun's friendship, also appeared in the ranks of greetings. However, considering that Kim Jong-ming knew Kim Jong-kook through Cha Tae-hyun, and the friendship between the two, the other party's appearance was not so abrupt.
Cha Tae Hyun's family is not a so-called luxury house. Like Kim Jong-ming's choice, he just bought a larger apartment in an apartment building close to his parents' home. It was on the second floor and needed to take a staircase. So it was natural that everyone did not say a few words outside, but quickly entered the house and started to exchange greetings.
"Soo Chan really likes Baker." Kim Jong Kook looked at Cha Taehyun's son who was not willing to let go of his ears, and I don't know if he had any feelings. "Or it is to say that children really like this big dog."
"Brother Zhong Guo is old," Kim Jong-ming couldn't help laughing. "Why do you have to look at other people's children every day? Sister Eun-hui is very idle recently."
Kim Jong Kook was very thin and made a big fuss in an instant.
"Zhong Ming, don't pay attention to him. We urge you every day, and he probably has calluses in his ears." Cha Tae-hyun was used to it. "But it's almost natural for children to like dogs. If his mother hadn't been pregnant again, I would have planned to raise one for him. The guy who liked dogs every day would like to pull the ears of dogs every day. The puppy opposite from the house would have run away now when he saw him, but Zhong Ming, you are really honest. Is it a little different from the Baker on TV because Rystl was watching next to him?"
"No." Kim Jong-ming shook his head. "This is the character of this Baker. He didn't move either kick. In fact, this is the character that the Big White Bear Dog should have. On the contrary, it was the last one. Maybe it was because the time when it grew up was when Sika and I were the most troublesome, and it was damaged."
"What kind of people raise what kind of pets?" Cha Tae Hyun couldn't help laughing. "The pets raised by the same person at different times have different personalities. It's really interesting. If we keep them in our family, we will definitely be so lively that we can drink coffee."
Kim Jong-ming nodded, picked up the coffee cup on the table, and at the same time he couldn't help but take a look at Cha Tae-hyun's wife Choi Seon who was delivering drinks to Rystl.
By the way, this pregnant lady had served four completely different drinks. The iced latte was for her warm black tea, the cold white tea for her husband, and the iced mango juice for Kim Jong Kook, and the iced mango juice for rystl.
The so-called "good wife" is probably the case.
"Stay here for lunch." Cha Tae Hyun immediately guessed what Kim Jong-ming was thinking. "Your sister-in-law has a very good craftsmanship, and you are not like some people. You have to soak your kimchi for half an hour and don't understand the true meaning of life at all!"
Kim Jong Kook was shot again, but it was probably because of too many critical strikes from Cha Tae Hyun, and he had already adapted, so he didn't react much.
"That's the case." Kim Jong-ming immediately smiled and accepted the other party's kindness. In such a metropolis, keeping others at home for dinner is a very sincere attitude. Unless you want to shy your face, it is difficult to refuse such an invitation.
"Did your wife hear it?" Cha Tae Hyun then smiled and looked at her wife who had just sat on the side of Rystl. "Don't forget to take off her makeup later. She heard that you were coming. She got up at six o'clock this morning to put on makeup. She also asked me if I saw you, it's better to call you an uncle."
Even though Kim Jong-ming was extremely determined, he almost sprayed the coffee after hearing this. By the way, of course, this kind of joke cannot be taken seriously, but it can be seen that the couple is really loving, and Cha Tae-hyun's sense of humor is almost engraved in his bones, and he can be picked up at will without leaving any trace.
In this way, after everyone talked casually for a few words under the master's guidance, the atmosphere quickly became comfortable, and the topic began to move towards the main thing step by step.
"The social status of variety shows is indeed far inferior to that of filmmakers." Kim Jong-ming is not a person who pretends not to see the reality. "The reason for this situation is actually the problem of social discourse. The discussion of social issues on variety shows can only be limited to a few words of satire, and the style itself is not high at all. However, the key is that everything you do in variety shows will be limited by the TV station itself and cannot jump out at all."
"This is the truth!" Cha Tae Hyun nodded repeatedly. "You can tell by looking at the trouble all day long. It's not caused by the inconsistent attitudes between the TV station and the following programs? However, I have never been interested in such things."
"Yes." Kim Jong Kook also interrupted. "And the issue of identity is actually not a problem for Tae Hyun. You have been an actor for so many years and have already passed the matter of starting a family and starting a business. At this time, the social status has been stable. More importantly, variety shows have a huge benefit."
"It's the so-called national level." Kim Jong-ming nodded understandingly. "In fact, it means that if you can play in variety shows, it will be easy to win the favorability of the people. This is indeed a good platform to win the public's favorite. But these are not what I want to say. What I want to say more is that you have been staying in a variety show and become a recognized variety show, but it does not affect your job. This is actually a trend. As far as I know, many variety shows are trying to bring the main personnel of the show to a larger scale.
To expand, I guess it won’t take long to see the humorous chefs, teachers, and makeup artists in life that have become the core strength of variety shows. Moreover, the format of variety shows will become more novel. These are actually a trend in front of you. Of course, this has nothing to do with Brother Tae Hyun, because the program I want to invite you to participate in is the current mainstream outdoor interactive variety show. With your status, it is definitely not a small variety show that is taken for the sake of experiments."
After hearing Jin Zhongming's official invitation, the dragon brothers in front of him looked at each other and nodded together.
Then, Cha Tae Hyun cleared his throat and got to the point: "Jung Ming, I thought about what you said last time after I came back, and then discussed it carefully with my wife, brother, and friends. Finally, I thought it would be okay for me to go to a variety show. So let's do it. Jong Ki got off the car from unningn and I'll make up for it. How about it?"
Kim Jong-ming didn't look at Cha Tae Hyun, but stared at Kim Jong-kook for a while, and didn't speak for a while. At first, the two people on the other side thought he was brewing emotions, and then made a formal reply! However, after a while, both of them were a little confused, because Kim Jong-ming's eyes and expressions were obviously a little embarrassed, or he was laughing and crying. Could this be something happened in the past two days?
"What's wrong with this?" Kim Jong Kook finally couldn't help asking for his buddy. "Did you have other plans in the past few days? But I haven't heard of it?"
"Oh." Kim Jong-ming finally couldn't help but smile awkwardly. "Of course there was no change in unningn. But I just discovered that I was probably too busy a few days ago and didn't explain the matter clearly, so Tae Hyun seemed to have some misunderstandings. In fact, what I meant at the beginning was to let Tae Hyun be the main variety show that will be restarted soon, that is, the main part of the second season of two days and one night, and it was not to invite him to unningn. And the so-called up and down with Jong Ki is actually from the perspective of all the variety shows we invested in, not from the perspective of the program team, how did Tae Hyun view this invitation?"
Cha Tae Hyun and Kim Jong Kook looked at each other.
"Actually, this is really my fault." Jin Zhongming looked annoyed. He felt that he might not get any answer today. "Think about it carefully, no one would think that I was talking about unningn at that time, right?"
"In fact, two days and one night are not bad!" Unexpectedly, Cha Tae-hyun thought for a very short time this time, and it can even be said to be without any thoughts.
"Oh?" Jin Zhongming was very surprised.
"My previous hesitation was just about two things. One was whether it was to go on variety shows or not." Cha Tae Hyun curled his lips and shook his head. "For this question, unningn is actually the same as two days and one night, and there is already an answer."
Jin Zhongming nodded repeatedly.
"The other problem is that Tae Hyun is a little worried." Kim Jong Kook also smiled and shook his head. "He felt that unningn had gotten rid of the most difficult starting stage before, and was about to enter a rapid rise period. If he went there, if it was a bad thing, he would squander everyone's joint efforts. However, the reason why he was worried about getting off the car was the same."
"So that's it." Jin Zhongming suddenly realized. "If this happens, will you be more calmer when you go there for two days and one night?"
"That's right." Cha Tae Hyun couldn't help but breathe. "New show, everyone will bear the good and bad things together, which makes people feel less burdened. If it's not a burden for two days and one night, I'm willing to accept it. I don't have to consider this! Just say when will you start?"
"I said this before." Kim Jong-ming quickly introduced the situation of the second season. "After Luo Yingshi's pd decides to leave with his team, the senior management basically lingers in the two choices of abolishing or restarting. Later, he thought about the success of the first season and the brand effect that had already formed, so he decided to officially restart. This decision took two months to water grind. But if it is to restart, look at Brother Hudong, Meng, and Brother Jin, these three are unlikely to come back. To be honest, it will take two questions whether he should hide from the limelight next year. In addition, Brother Xiugen's contract has expired, and Li Shengji has also proposed to get off the car after the end of this season. This means that the second season will really be completely restarted from head to toe. Who will be the general pd? Who is the candidate? These probably will take a long preparation period. If you are not wrong, it will take four or five months, and you will take the opportunity to officially set off around New Year's Day."
"That's more suitable!" Cha Tae-hyun instinctively glanced at his wife who was chatting with Rystl not far away. "My wife is now 6 months old. On New Year's Day, my second child will probably be able to look up and recognize her mother."
"Indeed." Kim Jong Kook also thought this was very suitable. "And it was just that, it was a great thing to do in your career, without pressure, and now the ratings are like this for two days and one night. The second season has changed from beginning to end, and the result is acceptable no matter what."
"Oh," Cha Tae Hyun shook his head quickly. "I definitely hope to do it well. It's better to surpass you unningn, please wait a moment, Zhong Ming?"
"you say."
"The two shows are direct competitors, right?" Cha Tae Hyun suddenly reacted. "What do you want to do? Both shows are invested?"
"No?" Kim Jong-ming picked up the coffee cup that Mrs. Cha Tae Hyun put on and took a sip, then leaned on the back of the sofa behind her as usual.
"Isn't it okay, aren't you afraid of wasting resources?" Cha Tae-hyun completely didn't understand Kim Jong-ming's thinking.
"I'll tell the truth to Brother Tae Hyun." Kim Jong-ming lowered his head and shook the coffee cup in his hand. "I not only invested in the second season of two days and one night and unningn, but also obtained the external operation rights of me as a singer, and also invested in the new variety show Jungle Law that replaced the heroes on Sunday. As for the other two Sunday variety shows, due to poor ratings, they seem to have no investment potential. However, I have already negotiated with the two TV stations for the production and operation rights of the new variety show."
"In addition, you want to monopolize the Sunday variety show!" Cha Tae Hyun suddenly realized.
Kim Jong-ming nodded: "Yes, no matter what industry, monopoly is actually a deal that will never lose money. Unningn cannot do it, not two days and one night, then I cannot do it if I am a singer. In addition, with limited TV network, Koreans must watch my show on Sunday."
"Have you played to this level?" Cha Tae Hyun couldn't help but grab his hair.
"If the business grows bigger, you will naturally have to go to the country." Kim Jong-ming couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm. "No matter what business does, as long as it starts on its way, it will either be eaten by others and become a part of the monopoly, or it will grow bigger and start monopolizing, and then eat small companies. Isn't it the same thing? I'm not afraid of you that the recent e-commerce companies will either not be able to hold on and disperse themselves, and those who keep on keeping on will be eaten by my Taobao. The so-called acquisition, why do you need research and development? The so-called shareholding, why do you need innovation? In this acre of three-point land in South Korea, capital is the primary productivity."
Cha Tae Hyun and Kim Jong-ming were speechless.
"The next step is to monopolize the upstream and downstream of the Korean variety show industry sooner or later." Kim Jong-ming continued to talk. "Advertising agents, peripheral distribution, artist management, and online videos must be taken into account, because no matter how strong I am, there will still be huge loopholes in doing this. That is the three major TV stations. If they really want to turn against each other, they can ignore me, so they cannot subdue them without getting all the upstream and downstream! Of course, from the perspective of the industry model, there is another loophole, that is, the emerging new industries. After all, this society is constantly developing, and there is a new industrial model emerging every day. It depends to a certain extent on how fast you are. However, in South Korea, it is mainly about who has money." At this point, Kim Jong-ming shook his head. "Forget it, I came here today as a guest. There is no need to say much about this boring topic. The so-called "when I don't advance, I will retreat if I do this, I will do it sooner or later, and you don't have to be surprised."
"Okay." Cha Tae Hyun put down his shock and emotion. "Since we are going to have a meal at your place, I'll treat you to a meal first, my wife, you can prepare it!"
"Tell me something." Just as everyone was about to relax, Kim Jong Kook suddenly spoke. "If Zhong Ming, you can naturally rest assured from the perspective of your own industry, you can definitely rest assured, but we all have to look at the problem from the perspective of our own program. After all, this is our career. Now unningn is about to enter a period of rapid rise, and you don't have any idea if Jong Ki suddenly wants to leave?"
"Yes." Jin Zhongming nodded without hesitation. "Actually, I am going to talk to Brother Shi first and see his attitude. But since Brother Zhong Guo, you have asked first, I will just say what do you think of me?"
"Ha" Kim Jong Kook laughed at a loss. "Of course you have always been very loyal. You are so rich, and you can still follow us so casually."
"I mean, how about I'm going to replace Jong Ki?" Kim Jong-ming immediately corrected Kim Jong-kook's misunderstanding. "Go unningn!"
Everyone in the room looked at Kim Jong-ming in surprise, and the same was true for Rystl and Mrs. Che. Even Baker, who was lying there, turned his head to this side, of course, and was held by Xiucan again and turned around.
"No kidding?" Kim Jong Kook was stunned for a while before he swallowed his saliva. "Why?!"
Jin Zhongming rolled his eyes, then lowered his head and drank the coffee in his hand.
Chapter completed!
