Chapter 1011 Chatting in the waiting room (Part 1)

Rehearsals for Korean singing shows are all scheduled at 7 a.m., and artists have to go to rehearsals early. The waiting time between the rehearsal and the official start of the show will vary depending on the time of the show. , the standby time is also different.

Some singing shows start at three o'clock in the afternoon, so the standby time is slightly shorter. Some shows are at six o'clock in the evening, so the standby time is close to a whole day.

Today's music program is broadcast at six o'clock in the evening, so Hong Beibei's standby time is very long after the rehearsal. Some brokerage companies will arrange to add a radio program during this standby period, and some will also go to a book signing or something else during this period. Doesn’t the time squeeze for artists come from these gaps?

There is no way, South Korea is only a small place, so artists need a lot of exposure during the promotion period.

At about 1:30 after lunch, the waiting room corridor became slightly quiet. Some people just started eating lunch at this time, some went out to run their schedules, and some had already eaten and rested. Before the official stage in the afternoon, all the artists had a period of rest. Only the staff of the program team were still rushing to do the final equipment inspection before the live broadcast.

If a TV station collapses during a live broadcast, the program team will inevitably apologize, and the chief director may be transferred.

You must know that there was a minor broadcast accident in "Infinite Challenge", and Liu Jae Suk came out as a representative of the program team to express his apology.

After eating, Hong Beibei and everyone put on their stage makeup and sat on the sofa to rest. The agent didn't know where to go at this time to hand over the business card and go to business. While they were sitting idle, they started chatting: "By the way, PD Zhang, tell me when will the group travel program produced for us start. Now that I see "Battle.Trip" launched by KBS, I feel envious. ”

Who doesn’t like the program team’s publicly funded travel? You know, idols have very little rest time on weekdays, and when they have time, they don’t immediately think about traveling overseas with their teammates, right? Even if you have decided to go on a trip, you will definitely go with your family.

But this publicly funded trip is different. Playing with your close friends can enhance your relationship, and all expenses are paid for by the program team. Why not?

Whenever they see travel programs broadcast on weekends, they feel envious. So when they talked about it again today, maknae Jin Yelin who was sitting next to her pouted and said, "Hey, PD's program... I don't know." When will we go? The last time we met, we said this year, and a quarter of this year has already passed.”

Pei Zhuxuan glared at the maknae and said: "He is not a full-time 'PD', he still has company matters to deal with.

And isn’t he also filming senior Henry’s variety show in China? "

At this time, Sun Chenghuan said: "Why are you all staring at the program produced by Zhang PD? Since he promised us, he will definitely produce it for us. On the contrary, I personally like the songs written by Zhang PD. No matter what Whether it’s for IU sunbaenim or Taeyeon sunbaenim, both are very nice songs. It would be great if he could write a song for us.”

JOY immediately complained about Sun Chenghuan: "Stop dreaming, did you see that 'Mama Mu' got the song written by Zhang PD? And he mainly writes lyrical songs. Such songs are very suitable for solo singers to sing, but It’s not suitable for our group.”

After Sun Chenghuan was scolded by JOY, she smiled cutely and shrugged and said, "Maybe he can compose the group's songs?"

Because Zhang Pingan has not composed any group songs so far, Sun Chenghuan also lacked confidence when he said this. Of course, as a songwriter, he will definitely create songs, but it is difficult to say whether songs suitable for team composition are his specialty.

At this time, Pei Zhuxuan said: "After we are done here, I will invite PD Zhang to have a meal another day."

After her debut, Zhang Pingan took good care of her. At least their team members were given the green light to participate in the program he was hosting. "Masked" participated, and "Watching Voices" participated. Except for those "Three Meals a Day" which did not let them endure hardship, they, Hong Beibei, still participated in many variety shows with very high ratings. This also includes "RM", which Zhang Pingan personally arranged for them.

So after Pei Zhuxuan made money, it was normal to treat Zhang Pingan to a meal and express his gratitude.

So the maknae said jokingly: "Isn't it too early for us to wait for the standby time? Why not make a call and ask, PD Zhang, if you want to have a cup of coffee together?"

Pei Zhuxuan said: "Isn't this bad?"

The maknae continued: "It's okay, I just asked casually and treated it as a normal way to maintain the relationship. And I didn't even send PD Zhang a message to express my blessings during the Spring Festival."

have time? Have a cup of coffee together? Or, oops, long time no see, I’m a bit busy today, so let’s have a cup of coffee together when I’m free.

have time? Have a meal together? Or, long time no see, I have something to do today, so we have time to have a meal together.

These are the most polite words. The former is a kind of communication to maintain friendship, and the latter is just the most common 'hello' that is not degrading.

With the encouragement of her sisters, Pei Zhuxuan called Zhang Pingan. It just so happened that Zhang Pingan wanted to spend his free time again today, so Pei Zhuxuan called and asked him to have coffee near the TV station. He thought about it and went there. Firstly, I used to drink coffee to kill time, and secondly, I went to the TV station and walked around.

At half past two, Zhang Pingan came to MBC TV station. After entering the gate, Zhang Pingan looked at the security at the door and the employees sitting in the rest area. He easily felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere among the employees in the TV station recently. Of course, Zhang Pingan is very aware that the TV station's labor union has recently begun to communicate with employees.

Zhang Ping'an has no intention of getting involved in the internal conflicts of the TV station, but this incident will have a great impact, including the programs he invested in. Because after a strike occurs, even if the content filmed by your external program team is sent to the TV station, no one will broadcast it for you.

Zhang Pingan originally thought of calling them after arriving at the TV station and asking them to come to the rest corner of the coffee shop, but looking at the employees sitting in the coffee shop... Zhang Pingan decisively gave up this idea. He simply bought twelve cups of coffee by himself and carried it to the TV station's singing backstage.

Zhang Ping'an came to the door of Hong Beibei's lounge and kicked the door of the waiting room twice because he was carrying coffee in both hands.

Seulqi was closest to the door. She stood up and opened the door. Looking at Zhang Pingan who was carrying coffee, she quickly moved out of the way, and then smiled innocently at Zhang Pingan: "Zhang PD."

When they saw Zhang Pingan, they all stood up from their seats. After Zhang Pingan smiled and nodded to them, he held two bags of coffee in his hand and said, "This bag is coffee, and this bag is hot cocoa."

Bae Zhuhyun and Seulqi quickly stepped forward and took the coffee from Zhang Pingan's hand: "Thank you, PD Zhang."

Pei Zhuxuan smiled sweetly at Zhang Ping'an: "PD Zhang, I also said that I would treat you to coffee."

"Isn't it the same for everyone?" Zhang Ping'an picked up the thermos in the coffee basket and said, "This is for me."

In the waiting room, their managers and makeup team all got coffee or hot cocoa, and then they all expressed their gratitude to Zhang Pingan. Zhang Pingan did not sit on the sofa because it was not convenient for them to sit down after he sat down, so Zhang Pingan casually pulled a chair in front of the dressing table and sat on it.

Their manager was sitting next to Zhang Pingan at this time. Zhang Pingan took a sip from his thermos cup and said to the manager: "The atmosphere on the TV station is not right recently."

The agent nodded and said, "I heard it." At this point, he looked at Hong Beibei and the other staff, and then stopped talking. There are some things that should not be known at the artist level. It should be said that Hong Beibei's level should not know.

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "We'll talk later."

The agent nodded: "Okay, I'll take you down in a moment."

Listening to the two people's code words, Hong Beibei and the staff sitting next to him were all excited about gossip, but they had no way of knowing the following topics.

Zhang Ping'an turned to look at Pei Zhuxuan and said, "Where's the album? Why don't you give me one?"

"Ah~~ Get ready right now." Pei Zhuxuan quickly went to the dressing table to get an album, threw herself there and started signing autographs, and then they all went to write blessings and autographs to Zhang Pingan. A few minutes later, they brought the album over and gave it to him: "PD Zhang, thank you for taking care of us."

After Zhang Pingan took the album, he nodded with a smile and said: "I will listen carefully." Then he turned to his manager and said: "Their group concert is tentatively scheduled for around June. Because I will be in April and May." There is still a big plan to be made, which may take a while. "

"Okay, I'll arrange their time when I get back."

Then Zhang Ping'an looked at Pei Zhuxuan, smiled, and said, "They are working together. I plan to discuss the prototype with Li Youzhen's writer team recently."

Needless to say, Li Youzhen is the top writer in Luo Yingshi's team. Li Youzhen appears as the main writer in all Luo Yingshi's programs.

It can be seen that Zhang Pingan spent a lot of effort on their unity this time.

When the agent listened to Zhang Ping'an and the ace writer team working together to create a program for them, he immediately laughed: "Thank you so much to PD Zhang for the arrangement. Kids, why don't you thank PD Zhang? That's writer Li Youzhen. That’s the top writing team in Korea.”

Of course, they also knew Li Youzhen, and they bowed to Zhang Pingan with excitement and excitement: "Thank you PD Zhang!!"
