As for the profession of variety show director, China and South Korea still attach somewhat different importance to it, with South Korea obviously paying more attention to it.
Even for "Camp", the longest-running program on Shonan Channel, most people still don't know who the director is.
On the afternoon of the next day, when Su Yan arrived at the press conference, he found that his name tag was in the middle.
I waited in the waiting room more than half an hour in advance. It was also a separate room, and special translators and staff came in to talk about the process and problems that might be encountered later.
Not all members of Girls' Generation were present, so Taeyeon, Jessica and Yoona came. This was also intentional. The young ladies are more topical. If they were all called, the focus would probably be on them.
For them, no one cares about the show.
The master came over and took one look at Su Yan before leaving. Last night, everyone gathered together after not seeing each other for a long time.
Running boy group, known brothers, Girls' Generation, Kwang Soo even invited actor friends, Jo In Sung, Park Bo Gum and Song Joong Ki.
Fortunately, there were more people, so Su Yan hid and was not knocked down. However, Lao Hu did not have such luck. It was the first time for many people to meet him. Although he showed some restraint, it was about the same.
Su Yan also met Irene again. She came with Seulgi from the team, but because there were too many people, she didn't interact with Lao Hu. However, after observing carefully, she still looked at him inadvertently.
.
The whole party was very pleasant, and Lao Bai even bought the order with a wave of his hand. This is also a Korean habit. At parties, the oldest or most prestigious person usually pays.
Su Yan was in the waiting room. After drinking half a bottle of water, someone knocked on the door and was ready to start.
A group of seven people entered.
"Click, click, click, click!"
With a smile, Yoo Jae Suk first asked them to stand in front of the stage and take photos for a while, and then sat down.
"Good afternoon, fellow journalists!" The master held the microphone and looked very decent in a black slim-fitting suit: "Welcome to the press conference of the variety show "Su's Cafeteria" introduced by SBC. I am the host Yoo Jae-seok."
After saying that, he bowed and Su Yan and the others applauded.
"Before we officially start, let me introduce to you the program director Su Yan...Teacher Bai Zhongyuan...Chinese actor Hu Shuai..."
Every time a name was called, the creators stood up and signaled.
"I have known Director Su Yan for a long time. As we all know, the copyright of "Running Man" comes from him. And I heard that the idea for "Baek Jong-won's Alley Canteen", which is currently being broadcast, was also provided to the program free of charge by Director Su.
group."
Bai Zhongyuan nodded: "Yes, it is indeed the idea provided by Director Su Yan."
The reporters began to make a noise in a low voice, because not only did this program have high ratings in South Korea, but the most important thing was that it was of great significance. So far, it has saved many small shops. It can be said that it is related to people's livelihood. At this moment, the favorability increased greatly.
Everyone raised their hands and shouted to ask questions.
But it's not question time yet, so Yoo Jae Suk asked the question instead.
"So, why does Director Su Yan provide the program to people he doesn't know for free?"
Su Yan glanced at Lao Bai and smiled.
"Actually, I have a program in China called "Street Food", which can be said to be the predecessor of this program. Friends who are interested can go and watch it." He did not forget to promote it: "Teacher Bai has always been my favorite.
One of the hosts, his professional knowledge and personal charm are very suitable for this idea. As for why it is free, it is very simple. I hope he can participate in "Su Canteen"."
All the words he said were good, and the three sentences stayed true to the topic. This was a strategy that had been set before. When he got to someone else's territory, he would definitely raise his hand.
"As for the final effect, I actually didn't know at the time. The success of "Alley Canteen" was mainly due to the contribution of Teacher Bai and the program team, and it had nothing to do with me."
Su Yan's modesty won great favor from the reporters present.
After Liu Zaishi waited for the translator to finish speaking, he turned to Lao Bai: "Is it because of this that you agreed to join his new show?"
"No." Lao Bai shook his head: "Mr. Liu Zaishi, when you choose a program, you probably look at the quality first. Director Su Yan found me and looked at the plan, and I agreed."
"Speaking of this, I guess all the reporters will be curious." It was not easy for the master to host a small press conference: "What kind of program is it that can make Teacher Bai agree to it immediately? Let's take a look at the promotional video first.
"
The lights dimmed and the TV next to it came on.
The movie is the same as the Chinese one, but with the addition of Korean translation. The BGM is not specially changed. Basically, it is the Chinese playlist.
"The charm displayed in this short video is completely extraordinary. I can't wait to see what problems I will encounter that will give Teacher Bai a headache."
"Hu Shuai, a famous young actor in China, graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy and has produced many excellent acting works. Among them, "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Pretender" have also aroused heated discussions in South Korea."
Liu Zaishi read a paragraph of Lao Hu's resume, and his expression changed to confusion: "I don't understand something here. Actors rarely participate in variety shows unless it is for publicity. This is the same in both our countries. Why would you be willing to participate again and again?
Woolen cloth?"
Hu Shuai has obviously dressed up a lot today. With his hair, he would probably have to stumble even if a fly flew up to it.
"I was actually deceived."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Liu Zaishi's eyes widened even more, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Lao Hu told the truth about how he was deceived several times to participate in the show. The host and the reporters on the scene were a little dumbfounded. Is this okay?
Liu Zaishi was speechless: "It seems that our Hu Shuai is still very down-to-earth. Of course, both parties are here, and we have to ask Su Yan whether it is the truth?"
Su Yan said seriously: "I don't deny it!"
"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed.
"I personally have acted..."
As soon as the big myth was halfway through, not only the reporters, but also Yoona and the others couldn't hold back, and Lao Bai looked even more funny.
"You guys, I really acted in a reversal drama back then." Yoo Jae Suk was speechless: "Forget it, the protagonist today is not me, otherwise I would have to have a good theory."
"Acting or variety shows, Hu Shuai, which one do you think is more difficult?"
He remembered Su Yan's words and asked Lao Hu more questions.
"Well..." Hu Shuai thought about it for a while: "Variety show!"
"Acting is a career for me, but variety shows are a complete novice. I have no scripts, only processes. I don't know what to say or what to do. I'm very confused."
"I didn't feel this way when I was watching it on TV. After experiencing it myself, I realized that it is not easy to be funny..."
"A small bowl, a customer, and an ordinary sentence, in the hands of professionals, can become a source of inspiration and cause laughter. This is what I admire most..."
Lao Hu spoke very seriously, and it was obvious that he was speaking from the heart. During this period, he also cited several examples in the shooting room and praised Lao Bai and Xiu Gen.
The entire press conference lasted almost 2 hours, which is relatively rare for variety shows. Both the performer and the reporter were very satisfied, and each other's goals were basically achieved.
