Korean Entertainment: Little Umbrella of Happiness

MBC is one of South Korea's large media companies. Together with SBS, KBS and EBS, it is also known as South Korea's four major national broadcasting organizations.

Of course, what the three major TV stations say is the reality.

MBC was founded in 1961 as a commercial media organization. Initially it only operated AM broadcasting business, and then began to operate television business in 1969.

MBC is a joint-stock public company with the Broadcasting Culture Promotion Association, a public interest foundation, as its major shareholder, and its operations rely on advertising revenue.

On the sixth floor of the MBC headquarters in Yeouido, today is the recording date of Infinite Challenge. Yoo Jae-seok rushed to the TV station after lunch to prepare some opening content.

As soon as he walked into the lounge, his eyes widened because he saw...actually, he only saw a few people, because today's shooting started at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was just before two o'clock. There were only a few people in the room at the moment.

There are staff and comedian Zheng Xingdon, but I was a little surprised to see a young female PD Liu Zaishi sitting next to Zheng Xingdon. Of course, the young people here are also relatively young.

Judging from the age of the main PD, the female PD sitting next to Zheng Xingdun at the moment is less than thirty years old, and of course not too far away.

"Why is PD Zheng Yunjing here? Wait... aren't you?" Liu Zaishi suddenly asked curiously and walked towards the two of them.

And PD Zheng Yunjing and Zheng Xingdon stood up hurriedly and bowed to say hello. Even PDs like Zheng Yunjing still need to say hello when facing a great master like Yoo Jae-seok. Firstly, because of the weird system and age, and secondly because

This is Master Liu, not one of those unpopular comedians.

"Hello, please sit down first. Isn't this PD Zheng Yunjing the main PD of our marriage? Isn't it because you came to Xingdun..." Liu Zaishi sat next to Zheng Xingdun and asked curiously.

Zheng Yunjing nodded and replied politely: "Yes, I want to invite Zheng Xingdunxi to participate in the filming of the second season, but he still has some concerns, so I am trying to convince him!"

Liu Zaishi looked at Zheng Xingdun with a strange look on his face, which made Zheng Xingdun blush a little, and then asked: "Xingdun, if you have any ideas, why don't you tell me, and I can give you a reference?"

In private, Liu Zaishi still takes good care of these younger brothers. He understands Zheng Xingdun's situation very well. This guy has a girlfriend in real life. How can he participate in such a program? This is no joke.

Zheng Xingdun said with some embarrassment: "Zheng PD said that the woman might be a popular female idol. I know the reality of us comedians. I'm worried that if I participate in the anti-shooting, my salary will skyrocket. Also, that brother knows..."

Yoo Jae Suk was a little speechless when he heard this. He thought PD Jung Yoon Jung would find a funny female artist for Jung Hyung Don to film the show, but he actually found a popular female idol?

For a moment, Yoo Jae-seok's first thought was that PD Jung Yoon-jung was actually Jung Hyung-don's anti. He was just trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife and wanted to use those female idol fans to kill him.

Of course, this kind of malicious thought is just a thought. Liu Zaishi thought about it seriously. This program was started in 2008. It is said that it was in response to the call from above. Because of the changes in the values ​​​​of young men and women in recent years and the decline in marriage rates, so

This program has just been created, so no matter what the ratings of this program are, MBC will definitely continue to do it.

From the first stage in February 2008, We Got Married has become a big controversy, with crownj-Seo In-young, Andy-Sol, and Whampoa-Kim Hyun Joong as the first group guests, and they were also popular among fans and viewers at that time.

support, but also received some criticism, especially many netizens who speculated on setting up the party.

At that time, this program involved two celebrities' time together. Many people were curious about how the celebrities dated and stayed together. Although it attracted a lot of attention, the ratings were average.

In fact, this program does have a lot of restrictions. The program team has many very strict rules in private. The most important point is: during the filming, the members are not allowed to date in private (dating outside of the filming of "My Marriage"). This is very common during filming.

The feeling will naturally become different. It's like the first time we met and the shooting was still unfamiliar, but we had many personal contacts, and the second time we met, it suddenly became better. How could the audience be so unsatisfied?

However, these restrictions are not as effective as expected.

After more than a year of filming, the production team now has a lot of experience, and I believe the second season will be more mature.

But the shitty ratings at the end of the first season...don't even mention it.

As a senior variety artist, Yoo Jae-seok is still very discerning. His idea is that PD Jung Yoon-jung may want to use heavy flavors to attract the attention of the audience at the beginning of the second season. In addition, Jung Hyung-don

Now I'm almost rooted in MBC, I still have Wuchao's existence, and my exposure rate is pretty good...

It’s just that Liu Zaishi felt that this was too harsh. Besides, putting aside these things, Liu Zaishi knew that this guy was already thinking about getting married.

Liu Zaishi, who was thinking, suddenly felt Zheng Xingdun touch him with his foot, and then turned to look at him for help. Liu Zaishi also instantly understood his position.

In fact, Zheng Xingdon is indeed considering getting married with his girlfriend, but it has not been confirmed or exposed yet. He is indeed very happy that PD Zheng Yunjing came to him personally, but the reality is that participating in this show is too

It's difficult, and it's all kinds of disadvantages for you, but of course it doesn't rule out its good side.

But in reality, he couldn't participate, but Zheng Xingdon couldn't think of the reason for his refusal. Before Liu Zaishi came, he just expressed his concern tactfully. After all, the other party was a female idol. How could this be compatible with him?

Now that Brother Shi is here, Zheng Xingdun really puts his hope in him.

Yoo Jae Suk cannot be said to be a nosy person, but he is definitely a good person who is very passionate about friends and charity.

"PD Zheng Yunjing, can I express my opinion?" Liu Zaishi suddenly asked after thinking about it.

Zheng Yunjing didn't know that Zheng Xingdun had a girlfriend. Otherwise, no matter how stupid she was, no matter how heavy-minded she was, or how extreme she was, she wouldn't have come to see Zheng Xingdun. When a senior like Yoo Jae-seok spoke, Zheng Yunjing of course said she was all ears.

Yoo Jae Suk thought for a while and said seriously: "Actually, I have also watched the show. I personally think that the biggest and most important issue in the show now is the selection of characters and the complete planning. But since it is the first season, it can be

I understand, but if the second season is like the original one, with so many couples getting in and out of the car frequently, it will greatly affect the audience's viewing. At the same time, the characters of the participants also need to be carefully considered...

And I think it doesn’t have to be limited to artists. If possible, wouldn’t athletes or something like that be good candidates too?

Although this marriage is just an effect of the show, at least it should give people a feeling...not to say it is a real love, but it should also have a sweet taste occasionally.

I can’t say for others, but choosing Xingdun, based on my understanding of him, is not as reliable as haha. Of course, in terms of everyone’s opinion, forget it as a comedian, mainly because of image and work environment issues.

Even if they film carefully, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve the effect of engaging the audience. Since the audience cannot be engaged in watching, it will naturally affect the ratings of these things."

Zheng Yunjing was very surprised after hearing Liu Zaishi's words. At the same time, she frowned and thought about it carefully. In fact, the program team had also considered these issues Liu Zaishi said, but Zheng Yunjing felt that the combination of comedians and female idols would definitely be a big hit.

If it succeeds, it will not only increase the ratings, but also allow couples to choose from a much wider range of people in the future.

But now that Liu Jae-seok said this, Zheng Yun-jing felt that maybe she had thought too simply. Then she thought about it again, and she actually had already tried it once, with Kim Shin-young and Shin Sung-rok, and the result... was full of tears.
