Chapter 73 Full participation
Although everyone is looking at Li Menglong, different people still have different impressions of him.
The PD, the maknae of the group, was probably the first person to meet Li Menglong. At that time, the program in charge of this group was about to be cancelled. It seemed like it was rainy every day in the entire office, which made him, a newcomer, so depressed that he could not even talk. Don't even dare to say it.
So during that period, he came to the company early every day, cleaned the conference room and packed up the remaining documents, trying to leave a good impression on his seniors and make it easier to change teams in the future.
But when he came back one day, he found that the conference room had been cleaned very clean. When he was looking for a senior to help, he saw Li Menglong for the first time; carrying a bucket from the bathroom, he braved a I was sweating a little, and the moment I saw myself, I ran up to him and bent down to say hello.
He was not very old, so he responded in a panic and asked about Li Menglong's identity. The other party did not say that he was Girls' Generation's manager at the beginning. Instead, he chatted with him and came up with a lot of tricks. The lowdown on the group.
Li Menglong disappeared when he officially went to work. For several days, there was someone who was so enthusiastic to help, but he lacked a partner to talk to, so the two of them got to know each other quite well.
The main writer is a middle-aged woman, with a straight face, as if she is missing something in her life. During this period, she felt as if the whole world owed her money. The pressure on her was not ordinary when the show was canceled. It was simply a complete denial of her.
The first time she met Li Menglong was around eight o'clock one night. After having dinner with her colleagues that day, she had some new inspiration, so she ran back to the company and planned to work a night job. Little did she know that the familiar location was still there. There is a light on.
Hard-working children are lovable everywhere, even in menopause. She walked to Li Menglong's side and planned to encourage the child a few words, but when she saw that face, she felt that the child seemed a little anxious. ah.
A conversation that was expected to end within an hour dragged on for nearly two hours, and then the two of them went to a nearby tavern for a drink together. In the first half, it was Li Menglong's thoughts and fresh creativity that gave her the desire to continue chatting.
In the second half, as she drank a lot of wine, she began to vomit bitterly about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the child's rebelliousness, and the fact that her husband only comes once a month, which is more punctual than a woman's period. Finally, she hugged Li Menglong's neck and burst into tears. , and when his hands touched the pectoral muscles on Li Menglong's chest, his eyes immediately started to move around.
Fortunately, Li Menglong was quite smart at the time and called her child over very early, and asked the child to promise to send his mother home safely. The children were very attracted to this trick, and Li Menglong also escaped being raped for the first time. The fate of ****.
As for when Jin Sanghao met Li Menglong, he actually couldn't remember. In short, there was an extra person in the meeting every day for no reason. At first, he was sitting in the corner, guarding a large box of milk. Anyone who was thirsty would immediately come to the meeting. Hand over a bottle.
Later, the job of distributing milk fell back to the maknae PD. Li Menglong's seat became more and more forward, and his suggestions became more and more constructive. In the end, he had to formally ask Li Menglong's identity.
At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that as long as Li Menglong is not a talent that is focused on being cultivated by any program group, he will show off his old face and poach Li Menglong no matter what. They will be the team for his promotion in the future.
But he could clearly remember the smile on Li Menglong's lips when he heard the question. At the same time, he shook his head and continued to bring the topic to the current situation of the program team. That was also the day when the entire team officially recognized Li Menglong.
After continuous preliminary investigations and communication with people from the program team, Li Menglong actually had a pretty good grasp of the team. Of course, Li Menglong couldn't just treat the doctor and not prescribe medicine, so he also had a win-win case in his mind.
But it would definitely not work if he took it out directly. Without letting them understand the current situation, they would not fully accept his ideas, so Li Menglong first analyzed their departure,
"I won't say much about the new programs that were launched last year. The best proof is that the programs are being axed!" Li Menglong set the tone for his words: "I know that everyone has been thinking about revamping the program recently, but why must we hold on to it? Hanging from this tree, you must know that everyone has experienced glory.”
Following Li Menglong's words, everyone was thinking about the few glorious experiences. If anything, the undefeated youth of the year before last seemed to be the pinnacle of their lives.
"So instead of changing on a failed show, why not continue working on a successful show? Like Invincible Youth Season 2?" After many days of hard work, money, sex and sweat, Li Menglong finally stated his ultimate purpose.
"Invincible Youth Season 2?" Like a thunderbolt struck Kim Sang-ho's mind, all kinds of beautiful memories came back one after another. That year was really the peak of his life, but later on, as female idols expanded overseas The market had to stop the show.
Now that the main PD was interested, the female writer also directly took out the outline that she had been working on overnight for the past few days, mainly thinking about some mini-games and program revisions.
For a show, if the main PD and the main writer have reached an agreement, then at least half of the success is achieved. Then Li Menglong will not be stationed here. First of all, inviting guests and communicating with the TV station is not something he can intervene in. Secondly, he has confidence in Li Soonkyu. .
You must know that the most outstanding person in the first season of Invincible Youth was Lee Soon Kyu, not to mention that now he is firmly seated as the number one girl group, with topics and effects, Lee Menglong is waiting for them to take the initiative to come to him.
In the next few days, Li Menglong was not idle, and began to search for candidates to be the main MC. He valued Li Xiuquan, but he didn't know the other person, but it didn't matter. Li Menglong pretended to be someone from the show team and started to negotiate with Li Xiuquan like crazy.
You must know that there is a law for Korean variety shows. The second season is generally not as good as the first season. The program has high ratings because it is backed by a big tree. If it is not good, it is a problem with your ability. So Lee Soo Geun was very hesitant until the end. On the one hand, he really needed a new show during that time. On the other hand, Lee Mongryong represented the show team's sincerity. And after seeing Lee Mongryong and Yoo Jae Suk having a talk with each other that day, He thought he could still give it a try.
Li Menglong took advantage of his strength to the extreme. Of course, this was inseparable from his own vision. When looking for a new program for Li Shunkyu, Li Menglong's first reaction was the second season of Invincible Youth.
There are many reasons: the reputation of the first season is very good; the program model can be easily copied by just changing a few idols; everyone knows the program team and it is easy to communicate...
In short, after Li Menglong turned his attention to this aspect, the new variety show that the team was responsible for had poor ratings and was facing being canceled. It was like being hungry and just in time to get a free hotel. Li Menglong naturally seized such a good opportunity.
And he plays a very important role in this newly formed program. First of all, he is an important member of the original team of the program, and has a close relationship with the main PD and writers; secondly, he is the core of the program's guests, Lee Soon Kyu's personal The assistant has the say of the guests; in the end, he was also the main MC of the show.
So now Li Menglong could sit under Kim Sang-ho in the conference room and openly discuss the composition of the show's guests with several main people in charge.
"The main attraction of the show is idols. Can you please invite some of the most popular girl groups? The least popular ones will do, too!" Li Menglong asked about the progress.
"Let's not talk about Girls' Generation. Wondergirls and 2ne1 don't like our show. The good news is that Kara has not been very popular in Korea, so their maknae will come over."
Each name was crossed out on the paper, and the names in second and third place were all crossed out. This is the ranking of the girl group they came up with. As for Tara, who had a good cooperation last time and has been gaining momentum recently, they are going to enter. RB is not available.
However, there is only so much space in the Korean entertainment industry. Let alone pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, the radish is full of little radishes waiting to make their mark.
Jyp was the first to take action. Although WG couldn't come, they still had the newly debuted new girl group Missa, and their popular member Suzy could still come to the show. And they immediately contacted the old man who was separated from JYP, and the other party also recommended Sister's Paula to come on the show.
It has been three years since Sister debuted, and her popularity is not low. There are hit songs every year. It’s good to be here. As for the subtext in it, Li Menglong, a newcomer, understands it. It’s just that I have found a popular star for you. Our Suzy is still Take it with you.
After swallowing this packaged group, Kara on the other side was not honest. He also used Kara to appear and forced him to bring members of the company group Rainbow. The program team had no choice but to admit it for the sake of stars.
"Do you sunny want to bring anyone over?"
"Wouldn't it be better to bring another Girls' Generation here?" Li Menglong teased with a smile, and as expected, the whole audience burst out with good-natured laughter.
"I'll go back and ask, but there's not much hope. As for our Sunny, we'll give him more performance fees and camera shots."
In fact, at this time, if Jin Sanghao and the others could not figure out Li Menglong's real purpose, their lives would be in vain, but so what, although Li Menglong's main purpose was to find a job for Sunny, didn't he save them?
Center shot, performance fee, please! If you don’t give it to Sunny, why should you give it to the newcomers? In short, except for the lack of star flavor, the overall lineup of the show is pretty good.
Because this group of people are unemployed and under great pressure, they are very urgent about the launch of the show. Today, I want to finalize Lee Soon Kyu's contract with Lee Meng Yong first.
However, Li Menglong held back at this time. He didn't know if he would give more or less, so he decided to go back and ask someone first. Xu Xian's personal assistant Xu Juye was a good candidate.
Before lunch, Li Menglong ran out first. It was inappropriate to have dinner with this group of people, and it was even more inappropriate to be invited. Anyway, he could save as much as he could, and he didn't have any so-called social expenses.
Sitting in the car, he began to calculate his own small treasury. Daily food, drink, and car fuel expenses were all paid from Li Shungui's card. However, Li Menglong ate in private, bought milk snacks for the group, and treated guests. Yes, all with his own money.
So he spent more than half of the one million he had saved inexplicably. Fortunately, Lee Soon Kyu set up automatic transfer. He received a fixed salary every month on time, and once this program was completed, he would have it. The first dividend was paid.
Although he doesn't value money, Li Menglong still admits that money is a good thing. It can not only help Li Soonkyu but also make money. Li Menglong can't wait to go home and share the good news with them.
