My Entertainment Circle

During lunch, Zhang Pingan and the children chatted while eating for about an hour and a half. They talked about everything from hobbies to love. For the children, they don’t have that much time to develop their hobbies now. On weekdays, when the host asked them about their hobbies on the show, most of them were made up, or they directly responded to the host’s “game”.

Because as idols, they don’t have time to let themselves get in touch with more things. In the past, they practiced all they could for their debut. After their debut, they rarely had the opportunity to leave the dormitory. What else could they get in touch with except the Internet? If they don’t have time to find their own hobbies, what hobbies can they talk about? At least idols in the rookie period have no hobbies to speak of.

Of course, love is also the biggest temptation for them at this age. After all, men always have a little desire and expectation for beautiful women. Not to mention that Zhang Pingan and Fang Shihe did not explicitly stop their love, even the artists of the company that issued the “stop love” regulations are not secretly in love. As for Zhang Pingan and Fang Shihe, the company actually 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 talked to them about some love issues. Although they can't enjoy the love of youth in person for the time being, they also listened to Zhang Pingan's stories about love. Of course, Zhang Pingan chose some failed love stories on the Internet to tell them.

After eating and returning to the company, the children continued to practice. Zhang Pingan continued to look at the script in front of him.. Writer Kim Eun-sook has sent the idea of ​​her new work to Zhang Pingan's company, which is the same as his original idea. After the TV series "Descendants of the Sun" produced last year, her new work this time is "Goblin: The Lonely and Brilliant".

Zhang Pingan directly took out this work and decided to invest. There is also the modern love story drama "Oh Hae-young Again" that is eagerly looking for investment. Zhang Pingan also selected it.

After Zhang Pingan decided on the new investment this year, he took out the work and gave it to the minister, asking him to follow up on the investment issue.

After the director received the work decided by Zhang Pingan, he smiled and said to Zhang Pingan: "President, you see, there is no "Signal" in the drama we invested in."

The work of screenwriter Kim Eun-hee, this is the writer Zhang Pingan found after receiving the tip from screenwriter Kim Eun-sook last year. After seeing her work "Signal", Zhang Pingan decided to invest. The broadcast was chosen to be tvN. It has been broadcast for two weeks and the ratings have reached 7%, which already represents the success of the TV series. On the pay channel, a TV series that breaks 5 is a success.

However, the investment in this drama is not very large, so the people in the investment department did not focus on this work with good ratings, but on the largest investment, "Descendants" which is about to be released.

Zhang Pingan nodded and said, "I've read it. When I read the first two episodes of the script, I was very attracted to it. She is a very creative writer. The last time I chatted with her, she joked to me that when writer Kim Eun-sook saw a beautiful place, the first thing she thought of was a romantic encounter here, and when I saw such a beautiful place, I thought about how to kill people in such a place~~!" When Zhang Pingan talked about the different styles of the two screenwriters, the minister standing next to him couldn't help but shudder twice: "It's terrible, suspense writers are like that, thinking about killing people all the time!" The style of suspense writers is frightening to think about. Zhang Pingan shook his head twice and said, "Okay, this year's work is temporarily here. You guys continue to follow up. I'll leave first."

......

The time for the second season of "New Journey to the West" to set off has come. On this day, in a guesthouse in Eulwang-ri, Incheon, Zhang Pingan and Luo Yingshi's team gathered together to wait for the arrival of the actors.

Luo Yingshi smiled and said to Zhang Pingan: "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 are so diligent in going to the filming site." Zhang Pingan smiled and responded: "There is a lot of attention in the market, and I have to keep a close eye on the program. Especially for a talent show like that, there are too many temptations thrown by other companies. If I keep an eye on it on the spot, there won't be too many problems." Writer Li Youzhen said: "Then why don't you keep an eye on it now?" Zhang Pingan said: "Now that the program has been eliminated, the audience's votes have a stable foundation, and the future changes will not be particularly large! So there is no need to keep an eye on it. Talent shows, such talent shows that combine so many companies, are too tiring. Suddenly I found that our "Three Meals a Day" and "New Journey to the West" are simple." Luo Yingshi said: "Who asked you to do such a complicated thing by yourself? Let alone a talent show like yours, in fact, even the competition for music shows is very fierce." Music shows are only one hour long, how many brokerage companies are there in the market? There are so many things that are fought overtly and covertly. In order to find opportunities for their artists to perform on stage, the representatives of small companies are really all kinds of tricks.

Zhang Pingan nodded and said, "Yes, before I acquired Mama Wood Company, I heard from the company's representatives that they were "choked" by music programs. After the new album is released, they can only perform on stage once, and they will not be given a chance in the second week."

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, Christmas news, you are telling it 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 are 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...
