Chapter 1051 "Hyori's B\u0026B" (Part 2)

Before going to Li Xiaoli's house, Zhang Ping'an took out the Pu'er tea brought to Li Xiaoli from his bag, as well as the new tea that was launched this year. Because when he visited Lee Hyori last time, Zhang Pingan promised to bring her some new tea when it comes on the market this year. So this time when I went to Mount Emei with Li Zhien, I bought some this year’s new tea ‘Bamboo Leaf Green’.

Zhang Pingan himself has brewed several cups of Bamboo Leaf Green. The ornamental value of this tea is better than the taste and aroma of the tea itself. Bamboo Leaf Green should be classified as an ornamental tea. After brewing, the tea leaves stand beautifully on the water surface. After being fully soaked, they will slowly fall to the bottom of the cup. Some people say that "tea" is like life, all hardships come with joy.

Anyway, Zhang Ping'an doesn't think there is any connection between 'tea' and life. He only knew that tea had certain health-care effects, but as for the various meanings attached to 'tea', they were given by some literati and poets. Tasting tea, understanding tea, chatting about tea, people who call themselves experts haha

Zhang Pingan was carrying a gift box with Chinese characters all over it. After arriving at Lee Hyori's house, the couple was cleaning. Li Shangshun, who was in charge of cleaning the first floor, saw Zhang Pingan walking over and shouted to Li Xiaoli on the second floor: "Hyori, Zhang Pingan is here."

After a while, Li Xiaoli walked down with a naive smile. She looked at the Chinese shopping bag in her husband's hand. She stared at Zhang Pingan and said with a smile: "What did you buy?"

Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "Tea, this year's new tea is on the market. I just went back to China for a few days, so I brought some for you. I also bought two cakes of your favorite Pu'er."

Li Xiaoli smiled and said: "Then I'm welcome. I can still accept the tea. What do you want to drink?"

Zhang Pingan quickly stopped and said, "No, I won't delay the shooting here. The guests will be arriving soon."

After Zhang Pingan stood up, Li Xiaoli and his wife also stood up and said goodbye: "Okay, then we won't keep you."

Because everyone still has their own work to complete. Lee Hyori needs to tidy up the house before the guests arrive, while Zhang Pingan still needs to go to the dormitory to sort out his things.

The sunshine in Jeju Island is very good, and the weather is really suitable for traveling. When Zhang Pingan came out of Li Xiaoli's house, he took a photo of the blue sky and white clouds here and sent it to Li Zhien: "The weather is nice. I am looking forward to the arrival of your employee."

At this time in Seoul, Li Zhien had just woken up at home. She stood by the window and looked at the spring weather in April. She smiled and replied: "I plan to practice cooking. I want to make barbecue at home today. I don't have to go to the B\u0026B to help. ,

Can't even cook the most basic barbecue. "

What Li Zhien calls "barbecue" is not charcoal barbecue, but a kind of fried meat. The meat is thinly sliced, marinated with soy sauce and apples and then fried in a pan. This is also what is called barbecue in Korea. In fact, the barbecued meat stir-fried with this kind of sauce tastes pretty good, sweet and salty. Zhang Pingan personally likes this taste better.

After Li Zhien replied to Zhang Ping'an's message, she turned on the camera and filmed it in the kitchen of her home in Seoul. She took out the apples and started preparing the sauce... Halfway through the seasoning, the door to Li Zhien's room rang, and she said to the camera: "My parents are here. Today is a good time to ask my mother about the seasonings for the barbecue. I will stay here for now."

After Li Zhien's parents entered the room, they heard their daughter muttering in the kitchen. They thought someone was there at first. Turning his head to the side, he saw Li Zhien talking to the camera.

At this time, Li Zhien turned off the camera and turned to smile at his parents: "Lao Ma, dad, are you here? Just in time, Lao Ma, how much seasoning should be put in this barbecue?"

Li Zhien went to the campus celebration in the afternoon. She had a meal with her family at noon and talked about her trip to the United States in half a month.

Zhang Pingan came to the dormitory with his bag on his back, and he will live here for the next half month. The dormitory is right next to Lee Hyori's house. It is a small two-story residence that was temporarily rented by the program team. There are two bedrooms upstairs, one for Zhang Pingan and Li Zhien. There is a large living room and lounge downstairs. The aunt who usually cooks for the staff is here. The first floor can be said to be the temporary canteen of the program team.

The sound team for this show consists of four people. Lighting team, two people. Camera crew, four people. The on-site director plus Zhang Pingan, three people. Accompanying writers, two persons. In fact, this kind of staffing can be said to be the minimum that a program can streamline.

This is just a regular shooting at home. Occasionally, Lee Hyori goes out and sends two or three cameramen to follow the shooting. For a large-scale outdoor variety show like "RM", there are seventy or eighty accompanying staff. Just like when Zhang Ping'an and the others went to film "New Journey to the West", they were accompanied by nearly fifty staff members.

Zhang Pingan simply packed the luggage he brought. In fact, he only had a jacket to wear when it was cold at night, a thin down jacket, a pair of sports pants and a short-sleeved T-shirt. Camera, computer, toiletry bag. These daily necessities are definitely not enough. Zhang Pingan will wait until the afternoon or tomorrow before going to the city to buy them.

After simply cleaning up, Zhang Pingan came to the control room next to him. Many staff members sat leisurely at the door and basked in the sun. Because this kind of shooting did not require anyone to carry a camera, so everyone was filming. Very relaxing.

Both writers are women. One of them may be thirty years old. She has thick eyes and is slightly chubby. She smiled and said: "PD Zhang, you and PD Luo were filming "Three Meals a Day". Is it like this at that time?"

Zhang Pingan found a chair with a backrest and sat comfortably under the eaves. He hugged the back of his head and responded: "Well, I sit in a daze most of the time. For this kind of lifestyle program, we run it 24 hours a day, but the actual broadcast footage is only more than 70 minutes, and the edited We also have to consider continuity, so most of the time we edit the actors’ dynamic moments, such as meal time, leisurely moments after meals, and then taking a nap together.”

The other writer is probably in his mid-twenties, looks a bit like a freshly graduated college student, and has a very ordinary appearance. She has short hair and wears tight-fitting jeans. I wonder if she has just entered the 'program writer' industry? So she was full of curiosity about the 'program'. She looked at Zhang Ping'an and asked: "'Journey to the West' must be more tiring than a variety show like this, right?"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "Yes, it is an 'interactive' variety show. And the filming location is overseas, so many things may happen unexpectedly. In addition to interactive programs, the director team, and the writer team, We have to think about how to interact with artists every day. Is the artist’s reaction the effect we expected? This requires constant experimentation, just like the Q\u0026A session in "Journey to the West". They all thought it worked well, so we fixed this link. The daily tasks are also a headache for you writers because they are too difficult, but it is too simple for those watching the show. The audience finds it boring. How to find the 'spot' is the most important thing."

"Then how to find that 'point'?" the young writer continued to ask.

The old writer introduced Zhang Pingan: "PD Zhang, she graduated last year and was assigned to our group. She is a new writer in our group, the maknae."

Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded and said: "Oh, the competition on TV stations is very fierce. I heard that the selection ratio for an anchor position is thousands to one. The competition on the behind-the-scenes writer's side is also very difficult, right?"

The executive director came out of the control room at this time, and his position was handed over to the photographer to keep an eye on. With so many people taking turns, the work would not be so tiring. When the executive director came out, he heard what Zhang Pingan and others were talking about. He continued what Zhang Pingan said: "The anchors have broadcasting majors, and there are also some other majors who come in, and the first threshold for anchors is the so-called 'image and temperament' ”

The slightly older writer immediately complained: "The so-called image and temperament, the first thing to look at is the appearance, and the second is the figure. If one of the two is not up to standard," she made a "wipe her neck" gesture.

Everyone understands the meaning of this action. In today’s society, ‘appearance and figure’ is the so-called ‘image and temperament’.

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "Listening to you, it sounds like you are choosing a 'weather anchor'. Don't news anchors need to be more 'solemn'?"

"Men are more dignified. For female anchors, appearance counts three-thirds, figure counts three-thirds, and narration counts three-thirds."

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "How about one more point?"

The writer smiled and said: "One more point? Luck or background. The anchors who appear on the camera have higher salaries than us behind the scenes."

"I know a lot of writers from 'tvN'. Their salary is not necessarily less than that of the anchors."

The writer immediately said: "Hey, PD Zhang, the writers you know are all writers from your popular program group. If the program has high ratings, then the bonuses will be different. We are talking about writers from ordinary program groups, and each program will have to Think of a different call script.”

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "Of course I know that writers have a hard time, but it's very hard for us as directors? Who owns the editing of the program?"

The writer immediately answered: "Editing is, of course, the maknae's job."

Listening to the writer's words, Zhang Ping'an held his forehead and couldn't laugh or cry. But I have to admit that this is the current situation of most program teams. The maknae director is responsible for editing the program!
