Chapter 10 Opportunities
There is an unwritten practice in TV stations. No matter which program it is, after recording, the column group will always be organized to go out for a dinner together, not only to fill the stomach, but also to deepen the relationship between each other.
Sometimes it was the general PD of the program team to treat you, and sometimes Yoo Jae-suk and the others would pay out of their own pockets. This time, Jung Hyukjae pulled everyone out and fulfilled his obligation as a junior in the program team.
In this international metropolis in Seoul, it really means the beginning of nightlife after twelve o'clock in the evening, bars, Pubs, nightclubs, KTVs, dance halls, cafes, etc., everything you can imagine here is here.
If you are tired of playing and don’t worry about being hungry, there is always a delicacy suitable for your appetite, night markets, snack streets, restaurants, and food stalls.
The group drove three cars from SBS TV station and embarked on a journey of looking for delicious food.
Because they belong to the "X-man" program team, except for Jung Hyukjae, the new member, everyone is familiar with the rest, so after sitting down at the barbecue restaurant, you quickly started talking to each other and talking.
Because of his youngest generation, Jung Hyukjae sat at the bottom, listening to the conversations of his predecessors with serious expressions, and nodding slightly from time to time with recognition.
"I heard that the variety show is about to be cut off?" Li Chiyu PD (Previously Old Li, Li PD, it's so annoying to think of names or something!) asked while holding the dish in his mouth.
"It's almost the same as the cut. The ratings are already at the bottom of the three major TV stations in the same period, and it has been several consecutive weeks." The person who was asked sighed and shook his head.
What Li Chiyu said was a variety show in the section "Sunday, It's So Good!". Due to its ratings ranking for several consecutive weeks, internal news said that it was already at risk of being cut.
Li Chiyu was stunned and pointed at the ceiling, "What did you say above?"
"This is not clear, but it should be announced after the show this week. I also heard from the news of the chatting of the women in the office. I don't know what the details are!" The man shook his head, took a sip of wine and then said.
"I hope PD Jin can cheer up again. Variety shows are not easy to do now!" Li Chiyu sighed seemingly unintentionally, attracting the nods of all the variety showmen present.
Judging from the current situation, the atmosphere of Korean variety shows is not very good. It can only be said that it has improved a certain amount compared to before 2000. However, from the perspective of the TV station, both the PD of variety shows and the salary of the staff can only be considered average, slightly stronger than the white-collar workers in the company.
Jung Hyukjae listened carefully, so that the dishes in front of him did not move at all. Yoo Jae-suk, who was beside him, asked with concern when he saw it.
"What's wrong, Hyukjae? Isn't the baby relevant to your appetite?" Yoo Jae-suk said softly. As an 8-year-old Jung Hyukjae, he was very competent and caring as his elder brother.
Jung Hyukjae came to his senses and waved his hand with a smile, "It's okay, I was just thinking about things and was in a daze."
"It's fine!" Yoo Jae-shy patted his shoulder, "I know you don't want to drink, but everyone here is a senior. If you don't mean you can't get through it at once, you can drink a little bit of it!"
"If it really doesn't work, you'll go to my place to sleep tonight!"
Zheng Hyo Jae-jae actually knew what Yoo Jae-suk said about his behavior. He had never experienced anything in his previous life.
Perhaps it was because of the last time I cried hard for a while, but now when I recalled those past events, I only felt a faint regret and heartache.
"Brother Shi, I know this!" Jung Hyukjae picked up the wine glass, "I'll give you a toast!"
Yoo Jae-suk looked at his eyes, his clear and transparent pupils reflected his shadow, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Only then did he confirm that he had indeed let go of his heart.
"We will continue to work hard on the TV station in the future! I'll wait for the day when you're on your show!" Liu Zaishi said with a smile.
"It will definitely happen, and that day will not be far away!"
Jung Hyukjae didn't say this, but said it silently in his heart, and had a drink with Yoo Jae-suk with a smile on his face, turning around and continuing to face the others.
Li Chi-woo, who had already drunk a lot of wine, patted Yoo Jae-suk on the shoulder with an unnatural flush on his face, pointed to Jung Hyuk-jae who had already gone to other tables and asked, "What do you think of this young man?"
"It's very good. There is no problem with those graduates who have just left school with high expectations and low expectations. They are not arrogant or impatient, and they make rapid progress!" After thinking for a while, Liu Zaishi organized the language in his heart before saying.
"It's not just that I'm making rapid progress. I think I can no longer compare to the ideas of young people now!" Li Chiyu shook his head and said.
He and Yoo Jae-suk are relatives of the same age, so they always relax their conversations with each other. "How long will it take for us to come up with a good idea? This young man is simply a treasure house of variety shows!"
After hearing Lee Chi-woo's praise for Jung Hyuk, Yoo Jae-suk nodded in agreement.
The first episode of "X-man" recorded by Jung Hyukjae was aired last week and the response was very good. Many viewers reported on SBS's official website who was the handsome writer who appeared in the latest episode of "X-man", most of which were female viewers.
Taking advantage of this craze, Li Chi-yu decided to make good use of this handsome 'chess piece' that boosted the ratings. Starting from this Friday night, the edited clips will be played on SBS TV stations, and Jung Hyuk-jae has added a new task in addition to the main work of writers.
In the "X-man" program, who is reporting to each team members through mobile phones.
The tall and handsome image immediately attracted widespread attention from netizens as soon as it was broadcast. You should know that at this time, when "X-man" was the most popular, a little bit of trouble could attract widespread attention from the media.
The name "Jung Hyukjae" is also the first time that it has been on Naver's real-time search list.
"I also told him that I was looking forward to being on his own show!" Liu Zaishi raised his glass and clashed with Li Chiyu, "When do you think the young man can go out and do it alone?"
Li Chiyu took a sip of wine and glanced at Liu Jae-shy with a squinted look, "I? If I can't say it for a year, do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it!" Liu Zaishi shook his head readily.
"Or how about we make a bet?" Li Chiyu smiled a little sinisterly, "You alone are a bit boring!" As he said that, Li Chiyu called Jiang Hudong who was stuffing barbecue into his mouth.
"Brother Hudong, come here!"
"What's wrong?" After wiping the greasy corners of his mouth, Jiang Hudong stared at someone who was smiling treacherously with a look of suspicion.
"Chi Yu, what's the matter?"
"We are betting. I can't guess that Hyukjae will definitely have a show of his own in a year. Jae-suk he keeps saying he doesn't believe it!" Li Chi-woo explained to Kang Ho-dong.
Kang Ho-dong was happy and asked back, "Are you sure you want to make this bet with us?"
Li Chiyu's words immediately made Jiang Hudong amuse him. Anyone who hears this bet will definitely be Liu Jae-suk wins. He has never heard of a newly graduated college student who has had his own program on the TV station within one year of his departure.
Is this a fantasy?
"Brother, you don't believe it either?" Li Chiyu looked at Jiang Hudong and asked.
Kang Ho-dong shook his head, "It's not that he doesn't believe it, but it's impossible! Hyuk Jae may have made rapid progress, but he is still far from controlling a column!"
Because they only meet on the show on weekdays, Kang Ho-dong doesn't really think about Jung Hyukjae's performance. Lee Chi-woo is different. In the "X-man" column group, who can say that Jung Hyukjae is just a writer?
The photographer was so tired that he rushed to the bathroom after eating. He was rushing to the bathroom. No problem. The lighting engineer was stuck in the middle of the road due to traffic jams, so it didn't matter. Even after taking a nap on the scene, he could find out the problems that occurred during the recording of the program at a glance.
Is this just an ordinary writer?
Sometimes Li Chiyu even felt that the young man in front of him, who was a little younger than him, was much more powerful than him in some aspects!
"Since you all think I will lose, how about making this bet?" Li Chiyu said with a smile, "Are you neither Hudong nor Zaishi?"
Even the method of provoking generals is used, can you bear it?
"Go a bet!"
Kang Ho-dong and Yoo Jae-suk said in unison.
When Li Chiyu heard their answers, he smiled like a fox, as if he had already been in his hand.
....................................................
"Brother Jae-shi, thank you for sending me back so late!" Jung Hyuk-jae thanked Yoo Jae-shi who got off the bus by the road.
It was already early in the morning after the dinner, and Yoo Jae-suk sent him back with his nanny car.
"Squirt this!" Liu Zaishi was holding a bottle of unknown golden liquid in his hand.
"What's this?"
"Perfume, ah! Idiot!" Yoo Jae-shy glared at him, "You just went back with alcohol like this? Let Min-chu see if you smell you still want to see tomorrow's sun alive?"
He sprayed his body for a while, "Brother Zai Shi, thank you!"
"Go back and have a break early, it's best not to disturb Minchu!" Liu Jae-suk reminded seriously. People who don't know what they think is Minchu's brother, right?
"Be careful on the way!"
After seeing Yoo Jae-suk away, Jung Hyukjae came to his door, and carefully smelled his body, and there was no alcohol left, and then he gently pushed open the door.
The living room was brightly lit, and the little guy who was afraid of darkness was curled up on the sofa and sleeping soundly. The TV kept flashing with pictures, but there was no sound.
Jung Hyukjae walked to the sofa with a cat stroll, picked up the beloved sister, and prepared to send it back to her small bedroom.
"Brother... are you back?" After rubbing his sleepy eyes, Zheng Minchu finally saw the person waiting for a long time. He hugged Zheng Hezai's neck tightly and did not let go. His little face lay on Zheng Hezai's shoulder and smelled his brother's breath deeply.
"Didn't I tell you that I don't have to wait for me?" Jung Hyukjae patted her sister's little butt, "Why are you so disobedient?"
"Brother, you've been drinking again, aren't you?"
The perfume sprayed on his body did not avoid Zheng Minchu, who was as good as a puppy's nose. Zheng Hyukjae stopped talking and allowed the little girl's embroidered fists to hit her shoulder one by one.
"I hate you drinking!"
