My Entertainment Circle

In Tokyo, Zhang Pingan's penthouse apartment has beautiful and brilliant city lights looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Mai Shiraishi and Sayuri are sitting at the dining table eating barbecue. The grilled pot is Korean style. Although it is not as flavorful as the charcoal grilled one, it is not bad. Top-grade wagyu beef, full of marbled spots, sizzling on the baking sheet, is a wonderful symphony.

Sayuri, as the biggest foodie among the "Nai Tuan", she has performed as the person who eats nine bowls of rice in the show. So when the beef was put on the baking pan, she watched intently as the snowflake pattern disappeared: "Mai, do you eat all these top-quality ingredients at home?"

Because when you open the beef packaging box, the breed and grade of the beef are clearly written on it. Even though top quality Wagyu beef is purchased in supermarkets, it is still slightly expensive.

Listening to Sayuri's foodie tone, Mai smiled and said, "I'm basically at home alone on weekdays. I just make some simple dishes by myself, or I just eat out and come back." How can one sit down and eat barbecue so leisurely? Oh, there is Korean rice paste in the refrigerator specially used for wrapping barbecue, do you want it?"

Japanese people like to use mustard when eating barbecue, while Koreans like to use rice paste. This is a difference in their tastes.

"Yes, Korean barbecue is also very delicious. By the way, do you have wine at home?"

"Yes. By the way, is there champagne at home?" Mai Shiraishi stood up after saying that. When she came back a while later, she had a portion of sambal, a bottle of champagne and two glasses in her hand. Seeing this, Sayuri hurriedly helped Next.

Sayuri held the pink box of champagne: "Kuuk pink champagne?"

Mai Shiraishi smiled and said, "I bought it because it looked good. It just so happened that we drank it while you were here."

Sayuri opened the champagne box and took out the wine: "Does Zhang Pingan like drinking?"

Shiraishi Mai shook her head and said: "He rarely drinks. Usually when we go out to eat, he will drink occasionally, but only two glasses of sake. It's pretty good. He keeps his drinking level. I don't like drinking very much. You are here today. I I only had two drinks. Otherwise, I don’t know when this bottle of wine will be put away.”

When Shiraishi Mai talked about Zhang Pingan, she couldn't hide the happy smile on her cheeks, which made Sayuri feel particularly envious. She opened the champagne, poured some for Mai Shiraishi, and poured some for herself. After a brief taste of the champagne, she said with a smile: "Zhang Pingan, what is life really like?"

Sha Youli didn't have much contact with Zhang Pingan, maybe she only saw the surface of Zhang Pingan. Privately, she didn't know much about the real situation after Zhang Pingan was 'obtained'. So she asked curiously,

Mai Shiraishi responded without hiding anything: "He's very ordinary, he doesn't have any bad habits, and he doesn't have the machismo of Japanese men. In my heart, he is a perfect man!"

Sayuri said: "Perfect? ​​You haven't gone out to socialize recently. Even if you are invited by seniors, you won't go. Is it because Zhang Pingan doesn't like you to go out to socialize?"

Mai Shiraishi raised her head and took a sip of champagne from the wine glass. Her hair was pulled back, revealing the graceful lines of her white jade neck. She smiled slightly and said: "That's not true, it's because I don't want to socialize. Socializing is just for us to expand our careers or get to know good people with a certain purpose. But there is already someone beside me. Why should I socialize with someone who makes me happy? As for my career, I am satisfied with what I have got now, and I also believe that I will never meet anyone better than him in the future.”

She turned over the beef and said, "Are you going to follow him like this for the rest of your life? Even if you don't have a status?"

Shiraishi Mai cooperated with Sayuri, who was grilling meat, and slowly cut open the large pieces of beef with scissors. At the same time, she responded: "Is status important? There are so many status people in the outside world, but aren't there still so many restless people? In fact, "status" cannot restrain anyone at all. I think the heart is more important than the status. I am very satisfied, happy and happy with him. "

.......

Tokyo was talking about Zhang Pingan, and at this time Zhang Pingan and the Zheng sisters were sitting in an izakaya. Recently, due to the emergence of mukbang, many people have mentioned drinking alone. Gradually, many izakayas have appeared in Korea. In fact, izakayas are a culture of drinking alone.

This izakaya serves sushi, and the three of them sat around a small table drinking wine and chatting. Sika picked up a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth: "How did you discuss with the TV station when you came back this time?"

"It has been initially negotiated. The specific production details are still to be negotiated. I am just a little confused and don't know how to work around it." Zhang Ping'an responded with a smile, because he had already sensed that Sika might have misunderstood his sudden return this time. It's about discussing the program with the TV station.

Crystal listened to Zhang Ping'an's description of the TV station, and she laughed: "Hehe, stupid Qing? Why do you say that?"

"Anyway, it's very awkward. This cannot be replaced by a fixed model of music programs, but it also requires a certain amount of innovation. Isn't the program progressive through innovation? With the development of the times, how can we be alone? Their TV station is a little reluctant to let my platform broadcast the program.”

Sika said in confusion: "If we co-produce, this problem shouldn't exist, right? Don't you own the copyright of your program?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "Um... I'm talking about "M! CD". I want the program team to cooperate with our platform and Huaxia also participate in the voting, but the program team is a little reluctant. I heard that SBS Bian has teamed up with a certain video company in China to produce a singing program. The program is aimed at Chinese fans! "

Sika smiled bitterly and said: "'M! CD' can be said to be the foundation. If you ask them to give up part of their 'root' to you now, they will definitely not be willing. Is SBS planning to produce music programs again? It won't be a week like this." Is it all a singing show?”

"Pretty much, that show airs on Tuesday."

In the past, Korean music singing programs started on Thursdays, but with the increase in music programs, their singing schedules have become more numerous. This is a very hard thing for artists, because when participating in singing shows, you might not have gone home until 10 o'clock last night, but you had to go out for makeup at 1 o'clock in the morning. After all, when there are more members in a girl group, it takes longer to put on makeup. This is also the reason why idols suffer from long-term sleep deprivation during the singing period!

Sika said: "By the way, last time you talked with Teti Xu and our agent, you said that the future is the era of personal channels? Do you think there is a possibility that... TV will be replaced by online platforms?"

"Maybe, but it will take a long time, right? At least twenty years, right? The main reason for being replaced is diversification and affordability. After all, TV stations broadcast too many rules, and the Internet broadcasts There are not so many restrictions on the subject matter. For example, those short videos I just watched are impossible to put on the TV screen.”

Sika tilted her head and said, "Why can't TV programs have some Internet themes?"

"If TV stations are allowed to produce these themes that appear on the Internet, they can't make any money at all? For personal channels, most of them are just one person. At most, one photographer can be hired, and two people can produce a project. You Think about how many people are needed for the TV station to produce it? Can two people be enough? Let’s talk about the minimum equipment. Two photographers, on-site directors, writers, and performers. Excluding the cost of inviting performers. Tell me how much it costs to produce a project and put it on a TV station?”

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "Maybe in the near future, under the impact of the Internet platform, TV stations will gradually reduce their funding, and the outdoor equipment will become smaller and smaller. If you look at the current outdoor programs, there are dozens of people moving there. The work team moved together. When such a program fails to receive ideal returns, it will become inevitable that the TV station will only provide directors for large-scale productions such as Na Young-seok and Kim Tae-ho. Dare to use a large production team..."

Zhang Ping'an continued: "While the TV station is reducing its funding, guess where the behind-the-scenes cuts will go?"

Sika blurted out the answer: "Online platform."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "Yes, the people who leave the TV station will inevitably go to the online platform. There are more people behind the scenes of the online platform, and the platform will inevitably produce self-made TV series and variety shows. In the future, it will become the online platform and TV station. There is a big collision. But even if the two collide, the TV station will still achieve a temporary victory, because the people who accept the Internet are always our generation, and our parents’ generation still retains the habit of watching TV. In rural areas, there are no more entertainment options, so both adults and children are used to being entertained on television. Therefore, the Internet still has a long way to go before it can defeat traditional media. But the main consumer group in the future will be people like us in the Internet age, so manufacturers will also face more advertising investment.”

After chatting a lot about the future of the industry, Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "Why did we talk about such a far-reaching issue? I think, Sika, you should focus on the development of your brand at the moment. As for the future broadcasting pattern , It won’t have much impact on you. It doesn’t matter whether it’s traditional media or new online media. By the way, when will you start a live broadcast on my platform?”

Sika smiled bitterly and said: "Me? Start a live broadcast? OK, OK, when I go to China, I will start a live broadcast on your platform. What are you planning to do in Tokyo?"

"Tomorrow, I asked Crystal if she wanted to go with me, but she said she was not in the mood?"
