Chapter 814: Prepare to start again in "New Journey to the West"

During a lunch, Zhang Pingan and the children ate for about an hour and a half while eating and chatting. We talked about everything from hobbies to love. For children, they don't have so much time to develop their hobbies now. On weekdays, when the host asks them about their hobbies in the program, most of them make up things, or directly respond to the host's "game".

Because as idols, they simply don’t have time to expose themselves to more things. In the past, all I could do was practice in order to make my debut. After my debut, I rarely even had the chance to leave my dormitory. What other things did I have access to besides surfing the Internet? If you don’t have time to find your own hobbies, then what hobbies are there to talk about? At least in the rookie stage, idols have no hobbies to speak of.

Of course, love is also the biggest temptation for them in this age group. After all, men always have a trace of desire and expectation for beautiful women. Not to mention that Zhang Pingan and Bang Si Hyuk did not expressly prohibit dating, even artists from companies that have issued a "no dating" policy do not fall in love secretly. As for Zhang Pingan and Fang Shihe, the company actually still has control over them. They cannot leave the dormitory at will, and the members who live together are still supervising each other.

Today, Zhang Pingan had a good chat with them about some love issues. Although I cannot enjoy the love of youth in person for the time being, I have also heard Zhang Pingan talk about some love. Of course, Zhang Pingan chose some failed love stories on the Internet to tell them.

After dinner, we returned to the company and the children continued to practice. Zhang Pingan continued to look at the script in front of him...Writer Jin Eun-sook has sent the idea of ​​his new work to Zhang Pingan's company. It is the same as his original idea. In the "Descendants of the Sun" produced last year After the TV series ended, her new work this time is "The Lonely and Brilliant Ghost".

Zhang Pingan directly took out this work and decided to invest. There was also the modern love story drama "Oh Haiying Again", which was eagerly looking for investment. Zhang Pingan also selected it.

After Zhang Ping'an decided on this year's new investment, he took his work to the minister and asked him to follow up on the investment issue.

After the minister took over the work decided by Zhang Pingan, he smiled and said to Zhang Pingan: "President, you see, there is no "Signal" in the dramas we invested in."

This is the work of screenwriter Kim Eun-hee. This is the writer Zhang Pingan went to look for last year after receiving a tip from screenwriter Kim Eun-sook. After seeing her work "Signal", Zhang Pingan decided to invest. TVN was chosen for the broadcast. It has been broadcast for two weeks and the ratings are already at 7%. This already represents the success of the TV series. It is very successful when a TV series breaks 5% on a paid channel.

However, the investment in this drama is not very large, so the people in the investment department did not focus on this drama with good ratings, but on the largest investment, the upcoming "Descendants".

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "Look, I was very attracted to the script when I read the first or second episode. He is a very creative writer. Last time I chatted with her, she jokingly told me that writer Kim Eun-sook looked beautiful The first thing I thought of was a romantic encounter here, and what I thought about when I saw such a beautiful place was how to kill people in such a place~~!”

When Zhang Ping'an talked about the different styles of the two screenwriters, the minister standing next to him couldn't help but shake his head: "It's scary. Suspense writers are like that. They always think about killing people!"

The style of a suspense writer is terrifying just thinking about it. Zhang Ping'an shook his head twice and said, "Okay, this year's works will end here for the time being. If you continue to follow me, I will leave first."

...

It was time to set off for the second season of "New Journey to the West". On this day, in a B\u0026B in Eulwang-ri, Incheon, Zhang Pingan and Na Yingshi's team gathered together to wait for the arrival of the actors. Luo Yingshi smiled and said to Zhang Ping'an: "Wow...it's been a long time since we last met.

I heard that you have been busy with "PD101" recently? This is the first time I heard that you went to the filming location so diligently. "

Zhang Ping'an responded with a smile: "There is a lot of attention in the market, and I have to keep an eye on the show. Especially for talent shows like that, there are too many temptations thrown by other companies, so I will keep an eye on the show. There won’t be any big problems.”

Writer Li Youzhen said: "Then why don't you stare now?"

Zhang Ping'an said: "Now that the program elimination has occurred, the audience's votes have a stable foundation, and the changes in the future will not be particularly big! So there is no need to keep an eye on it. The draft, which combines the drafts of so many companies, is too It’s tiring. Suddenly, we found that “Three Meals at a Time” and “New Journey to the West” were simple.

Luo Yingshi said: "Who asked you to do such complicated things by yourself? Let alone talent shows like yours, in fact, even singing shows are very competitive."

The singing show is only one hour long. How many agencies are there on the market? There are a lot of overt and covert fights among them. In order to find opportunities for their own artists to appear on stage, representatives of small companies are full of tricks.

Zhang Pingan nodded and said: "Yes, before I acquired Mamamu Company, I heard the company representatives say that they were 'stuck' by music programs. After the release of the new album, they only played on stage once, and in the second week I won’t give you a chance.”

Luo Yingshi has done music programs before, and he knows how troublesome it is to invite artists to perform on stage every week: "It's not that we don't give opportunities, but that so many small companies need a chance to perform on stage. Those from small companies can get it." It’s fair for TV stations to get one chance. So it’s very difficult for artists from small companies to get on stage before they develop, right?

Zhang Ping'an responded with a smile: "Don't I have a good relationship with all the TV stations? And BTS and Mamamu are all working very hard."

At this time, Luo Yingshi said to Zhang Pingan: "By the way, after Li Shengji joined the army, he recommended artists from the same company. I sold Li Shengji a favor! Do you have any candidates you want to join?"

Luo Yingshi felt that this time the 'newcomer' selection should actually be discussed with Zhang Ping'an before making a decision, but he personally has a good relationship with Lee Seung-ki, and in the first season, Lee Seung-ki did contribute to the comeback of his brothers. few. So Luo Yingshi sold him a favor in this selection of newcomers and used artists from their company.

Zhang Pingan shook his head and said: "I don't have any candidates here, you just have to decide. What is the name of the new person?"

Na Young-seok said: "Have you seen "My Star"? Ahn Jae-hyun plays the role of Cheon Song-yi's brother in it."

"I've watched a few episodes of "My Star". I also know that Ahn Jae-hyun and Goo Hye-sun are in love."

Na Yingshi's eyes widened and he said, "He and Gu Hye Sun are in love?"

Zhang Pingan nodded and said: "Yeah, it's not a secret. Everyone who knows it knows it. They have developed a good impression of each other since the last TV series they collaborated on."

Luo Yingshi said: "Dafa, I don't know about this yet."

Zhang Ping'an responded: "You don't care much about artists' affairs, so of course you don't know. And I am relatively familiar with the artists. I also have many personal contacts, so it is normal to know some of the secrets in the industry. "

Luo Yingshi then took out a bottle of drink and handed it to Zhang Pingan: "This show is sponsored, and the drink is endorsed by Jiang Hudong."

Zhang Ping'an unscrewed the bottle cap and started to drink: "Then he said that he hopes to get more sponsorships in the future. Let's communicate about the game of this show."

The meeting continued like this, until Tiankong dimmed, and then the actors arrived one by one. The first one to arrive was Li Xiugen, who had no other program schedule. Next up are Kang Ho-dong and Eun Ji-won.

After people arrived, everyone started chatting while eating. Before the official departure, everyone gathered in the B\u0026B as if they were on a trip. The performers and staff were all gathered in the room chatting casually..

Jiang Hudong was eating pig's trotters while looking at Zhang Ping'an with a smile. Zhang Pingan looked at Jiang Hudong in confusion: "Brother Hudong, why are you staring at me and laughing like that?"

When Zhang Pingan took the initiative to ask, Jiang Hudong smiled and said, "Did you read the news that you were in love?"

Because Zhang Pingan has not met Jiang Hudong in private since the last filming. So Zhang Pingan really didn't know what kind of love news he was talking about: "Me? Love news? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

Kang Ho Dong immediately said: "Japan's national actress."

Na Young-seok also followed Kang Ho-dong's words and said: "That's right, that's right, Yui Aragaki! That's a very popular national actress!"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and shook his head and said: "Ah~~ You're talking about the Christmas news now? And the news is all fake. At that time, many of our classmates made an appointment to go on vacation together after Christmas. She and I were classmates! "

Seeing Zhang Pingan's denial, Jiang Hodong nodded and said, "That's right. There are rumors about you and Lee Ji-eun on the Internet, and there are also rumors about you and Taeyeon..."

Zhang Ping'an interrupted him with a wry smile: "Brother Hudong, this is "New Journey to the West" and not "Strong Heart" for gossiping!"

Jiang Hodong, Li Xiugen, Yin Zhiyuan, and Luo Yingshi sitting next to him all saw that Zhang Pingan was deliberately avoiding this question. If it was like the previous classmate relationship, he could definitely tell it. The only thing he didn't explain was the relationship between Lee Ji Eun and Taeyeon, which shows that his love partner must be one of these two people.

But since Zhang Ping'an himself didn't say anything, they couldn't make rash guesses. However, it must be one of the two. They all looked at each other...
