On the 26th, "Shine Grocery Store" started to air. Pei Zhuxuan also sorted out other work and came to Chen Chen to watch the premiere together as scheduled.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, let's cook some glutinous rice balls to eat."
Chen Chen was making glutinous rice balls in the kitchen unhurriedly.
"Ah, hurry up, or you won't be able to catch up!" Pei Zhuxuan urged.
"It's just going to be online at that time. It's not a live broadcast, so you don't have to worry about missing it." Chen Chen picked through the pile of glutinous rice balls he bought, "What kind of filling do you want to eat? How about the classic black sesame?"
< br>
"Okay, but I'll only eat five, so don't eat too many." Pei Zhuxuan compromised, "It's not impossible to eat something sweet while watching the show."
"Five is too little, how about eating seven?" Chen Chen bargained, "luckyseven."
Without waiting for her answer, Chen Chen jumped right into the pot. The worst he could do was to heat up his next meal.
In other words, the next meal will explode.
……
The glutinous rice balls were served at exactly eight o'clock in the evening, so there was no delay in watching the show.
"The time you designed to go online is quite annoying. It's a bit like competing with the TV station for ratings."
Bae Zhuhyun didn't even look at a single scene, and her complaints came first.
"You don't think that people who watch variety shows online at this time will sit in front of the TV and contribute ratings to the TV station, right?" Chen Chen retorted: "We are not a group of people in the first place, so it will not affect it."
"That's right." Bae Zhuhyun was attracted by the sound of the theme song of "Shine Grocery Store" on TV, "Hey, isn't this Yuzhen's voice?"
"The first line was sung by her." Chen Chen smiled, "Listen again and see if you can recognize other people's voices."
"Don't listen!" Pei Zhuxuan rolled her eyes at him, "It's not like I don't surf the Internet at all! This song has been online for several days, and the things that should be picked out have already been picked out. Who are your IVE members? It’s impossible to hide it!”
"Okay, you're so awesome."
Chen Chen praised perfunctorily.
"Why don't you eat glutinous rice balls?" Pei Zhuxuan pointed at the glutinous rice balls angrily.
"It's hot!" Chen Chen said angrily: "You want me to die if you eat it right after it comes out of the pot?!"
"Hehe." Pei Zhuxuan curled up and smiled, then quickly turned to stare at the TV, "It's started, it's started!"
The first scene of "Shine Grocery Store" shows Big Hit's practice room, where HyunA is practicing for her comeback.
Practice, rest, practice, rest, practice, drink water.
"A little lonely."
Hyuna couldn't help but complain softly.
The camera zoomed out, and a tiny HyunA was sitting in the center of the large training room, surrounded by a frighteningly empty space.
"If you were given the chance to reunite with the members of 4minute, would you cherish it?"
Jaejae's voiceover came from above.
"I will definitely cherish it!"
HyunA bit her lip and said nothing, and her heartbeat was the answer.
"Hello, I appear in response to your wish." Jaejae appeared out of thin air with a special effect, "Shine Grocery Store is at your service."
"You are?"
Hyuna was surprised and happy!
"..."
Next, there are many settings about Shine Grocery Store. Naturally, Bae Zhuhyun no longer needs to listen, so she has time to complain.
"Isn't the above a bit embarrassing?"
Pei Zhuxuan glanced at Chen Chen and realized that this guy had already eaten.
"The setting of the grocery store is quite middle-grade, so it can't avoid embarrassment." Chen Chen chuckled, "But people's tastes are like this now. I won't watch variety shows that are not embarrassing!"
"But no matter what, the grocery store has been led out, and the next development will be smoother."
"It's just that we're going to have a regular variety show later, and I don't know if everyone will like it." Chen Chen was a little worried, "Jaejae's identity change from a grocery store messenger to a living host here seems a bit stiff."
"Didn't she say it herself, because Hyuna's wish was to temporarily become a human being." Bae Zhuhyun didn't think it mattered, "If you can accept it before, there should be no problem here. If you can't accept it, you should quit now. ”
"Yes." Chen Chen was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Let's go on, Hyuna is going to dance."
During the program, HyunA wants to get help from the shop and needs to prove to Jaejae that she is not just a ridiculous idea but a sincere wish that she wants to realize.
To prove this, Jaejae gave HyunA a 4minute random dance challenge in a variety show style.
It has been five years since they disbanded. Now I feel a little moved and sad when I see HyunA dancing so hard in 4minute. The more skillful HyunA dances, the better and sadder I feel.
"Do you dance a lot too?"
Chen Chen asked as he glanced at his girlfriend who was doing little tricks.
"4minute seniors are not little minions. When we were trainees, we often used their stages as practice materials." Bae Zhuhyun sighed, "Oh, now that I suddenly see this, I feel nostalgic."
"I miss it a lot, everyone misses it." Chen Chen couldn't help but laugh, "It's just that everyone in the comments is scolding Dog Cube Entertainment again. Boss Hong feels bitter."
"After all, the relationship between 4minute and Cube Entertainment is clearly stated there. If everyone has resentment in their hearts, they will naturally blame Cube Entertainment." Pei Zhuxuan glanced at Chen Chen, "According to you, this is how the company uses it. Just be scolded!”
"I did say that."
Chen Chen admitted honestly.
Back on the show, after HyunA completed the random dance challenge, Jaejae asked her who the first member she wanted to find was.
"Nam Ji Hyun Unnie." Hyuna said without hesitation: "She is our captain. She takes care of us the most and knows our members best. We must find her first!"
It is well-founded and convincing. It is always right for idol groups to find the leader first.
"What's it like to be a captain?"
Chen Chen rubbed his arm twice against his girlfriend, the captain of Red Velvet.
"There's no benefit at all, it's just more responsibilities and work." Bae Zhuhyun replied: "But when you recognize your identity as captain, you don't think it matters. A captain is supposed to be responsible for the team and the members. , isn’t it?”
"I don't know." Chen Chen joked: "The main thing is that I have never been a captain."
"By the way, who is the leader of Integrate?" Bae Zhuhyun asked curiously: "It's been so long since I debuted, but I don't seem to have seen any members with special identities."
"Sakura, the actual captain, is very good at managing members and handling team affairs, but she doesn't like being stuck as a captain outside, so she usually doesn't mention it." Chen Chen replied.
"That's right." Pei Zhuxuan joked, "Then Yuan Ying will be the deputy captain, because he is your herald."
"Absolutely. Integrate doesn't have so much to do, so the captain won't be tired." Chen Chen raised his head and poured the last few glutinous rice balls into his mouth, "Hurry up and eat the seven of yours, otherwise they will stick together and not taste good." .”
"Okay, eat, eat, master, stop reading!"
Pei Zhuxuan also imitated Chen Chen, holding the bowl up and pouring it into her mouth. As expected, she choked, and Chen Chen had to pat her on the back.
The next content of "Shine Grocery Store" is more tender. Jaejae took Hyuna to find Nam Ji-hyun. The two of them recalled the past and couldn't help but reveal their true feelings. Very good, Chen Chen’s motivation for watching this show is to see HyunA lose her little pearl! Now I am satisfied.
After the warmth, it's time to enter the regular variety show, where you can make requests, complete tasks, and get rewards.
It ended with HyunA telling the news about Shine Grocery Store, and the two of them built an image of the grocery store in their minds.
A lot of money was spent here, and heavy special effects were used to pile up the shops into a luxurious and solemn castle in the air. At first glance, people just want to take a detour.
"..."
"It's a pretty average show, it's quite interesting to watch, but it also has a lot of awkward spots."
Bae Joo Hyun gave her comments after watching.
"I'm not satisfied." Chen Chen had a bad look on his face, "This shouldn't be the program effect given by Kim Tae-ho, it's not up to par!"
"Maybe PD Kim is not suitable for filming the Idou program, or maybe he is not familiar with the host." Bae Zhuhyun comforted: "It may be a lot better when the people behind are gathered."
"I chose the wrong PD!" Chen Chen didn't listen at all, he just regretted, "Or I should add another PD and be responsible for different parts separately from Jin Taihao!"
"Don't worry about this. Maybe it's too good a plan in your imagination." Pei Zhuxuan opened her phone to check the hot searches, "Read the comments to find out what everyone is saying. Your opinion alone cannot be taken seriously."< br>
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Okay."
Chen Chen exhaled and looked at each other with Pei Zhuxuan.
What surprised Chen Chen was that the online reviews were quite good, with most people giving interesting comments.
"There's a problem, the network is crazy!" Chen Chen stood up anxiously, "I'm going to call Shirley!"
Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips and tried not to laugh out loud. She didn't expect that she would have the opportunity to see Chen Chen like this today.
"You go ahead and I'll clear the table." Pei Zhuxuan stood up and said, "If you don't see me after making the call, I just went to take a shower. Don't worry."
"..."
Naturally, he didn't wait for Chen Chen's reply. Chen Chen was currently focused on the show and was not in the mood to reply to such a trivial matter.
"Did you watch the show? How did it feel?"
The call was quickly connected, and Chen Chen asked eagerly.
"It's not very good." Shirley wasn't happy either. "At first glance, it's full of loopholes. The parts that should be interesting are not interesting enough, and the parts that should be sensational are not warm enough."
"Then there's jaejae, it's a bit too stiff."
“The style of Shine Grocery Store also failed to show off, and it didn’t leave a deep impression on people.”
"Finally, the comments on the Internet are a bit weird. People are not the kind of people who can be so tolerant."
"..."
Shirley was more eloquent than Chen Chen and almost made Chen Chen lose his ability.
"Well, maybe it's a matter of different perspectives." Chen Chen unconsciously began to enlighten Shirley, "We are from the perspective of the creators, and others are the perspective of the audience. We pay attention to different things, and the viewing experience is also different."
"I watched it with Zhuxuan, and she also gave good reviews. You can't say that she also has problems." Chen Chen pulled Pei Zhuxuan out as well.
"That's right." Shirley let out a long sigh, "Just wait, the real evaluation will surface in two days, and it will be clear what the problem is."
"Okay, let's talk again in two days."
Chen Chen hung up the phone.
Pei Zhuxuan was taking a shower and no one could talk, so Chen Chen covered his mouth and started observing the comments on the Internet again.
He didn't know why he covered his mouth, but subconsciously he thought it would be better.
After reading the comments for a while, Chen Chen's originally agitated mood gradually calmed down.
He found that the praise given by everyone mainly focused on the relationship, and there was not much discussion about the various arrangements and settings of the show.
"If it's feelings, then it's understandable."
"Everyone likes to watch this kind of drama, and Hyuna's feelings are sincere enough."
"If you regard feelings as the main branch and other links as embellishments to the emotional branches, this program will give people a pretty good feeling."
"In other words, if nothing else happens, "Shine Grocery Store" will become a very popular program with little technical content."
"Oh no, you have to check the heat first to see if it's hot or not."
……
"The heat is average, definitely not a fire."
After reading the comprehensive data, Shirley fell down on her desk, feeling completely dejected.
"Are your requirements for fire a little too high?" Chen Chen put an orange on top of her head, "You don't have to be as popular as those monsters to be considered popular. If you compare with the current "My Naughty Kid" , there are few popular programs in South Korea.”
"And we don't want it to be popular." Chen Chen said flatly: "We just ask that it always exist."
The program will exist as long as it exists in the grocery store, and Chen Chen can continue to do what he really wants to do.
After thinking about this, Chen Chen's nervousness and hostility disappeared instantly, and Pei Zhuxuan even praised him for it last night.
"But this is my first independent project after all." Shirley tilted her head and looked at Chen Chen secretly, "Isn't it really embarrassing to do this?"
"Is this your first independent project?" Chen Chen said with a smile: "I did both the project establishment and the main framework. What does it have to do with you, a wage earner? I will be blamed for success or failure."
"Okay." Shirley took the orange off her head and slowly sat up straight, "Thanks."
"I heard that Minister Ma is making big moves with you. Can you tell me, the representative director, some news?" Shirley peeled an orange and asked about something else.
"Not for the time being." Chen Chen smiled and shook his head twice, "But if our Representative Cui is capable enough, he can learn something from the gossip in the industry."
When negotiating contracts with actors, what the actors want most is a commitment rather than benefits that can be obtained now, so if Shirley wants to find clues from within the C Department, she will definitely get nothing.
But the actions taken by C Headquarters are not small at all in the eyes of the industry.
A dark horse suddenly entered the battle for NamooActors with great force.
It’s definitely not just Ma Changchang who has the news. There are many “Ma Changchun” among action people, for sure.
Everyone was surprised by the sudden addition of C headquarters, but in the end they were just surprised.
In the end, the struggle for actor development depends on hard skills, not to mention that it is a bit late for you to enter now, so you are at a disadvantage.
"Just give me a hint, Mr. President." Shirley said coquettishly, "I can't guess it."
"Then let me show you a recent text message between me and Minister Ma."
Chen Chen took out his cell phone and handed it to Shirley.
Shirley looked over carefully and found that the content above was very pale.
"Are you capable of fulfilling all the praises I have given you?"
