Chapter 146 Internal Rot
Li Menglong was quite conspicuous standing at the back. Everyone noticed him quickly and hurriedly gave him a seat. Li Menglong took the opportunity to sit down.
After looking around, none of those people, including the PD, looked at him. The strange silence continued, but Li Menglong was not the maknae PD.
"What happened recently?" Li Menglong was the first to break the silence.
"Both the writer and I are about to be transferred, and the show may not be able to survive for long." PD said in a low voice.
"Is it because of the ratings?"
"Part of it, but more of it is an internal matter in the station. The person above me has fallen!" It was rare for PD to say something sincere.
"I understand. Let's all try to find a way out for ourselves. If you can find anything useful for me, Lee Soon Kyu, and Hyoyeon, just ask. Anyway, I personally feel honored to be able to cooperate with you." Li Menglong stood up immediately after speaking. Went out.
Then there was still silence in the room. When Li Menglong came out, he didn't do anything sad or radical. He was just thinking about the impact of this incident on Li Soonkyu.
It's not because Li Menglong is cold-blooded, but he really doesn't have that much affection for this show. This is just a job he found for Li Soonkyu, and he has been contributing in the process. He doesn't owe anyone anything.
If the entire program team is now ready to make an effort and give it a try at the last moment, Li Menglong will definitely support it, but now there is a collective silence, and he really can't do much by himself.
In fact, Li Menglong has never believed in individual heroism. Whether in variety shows or on film crews, he integrates into the group immediately and plays a role silently.
Even Park Xiangmin had a good attitude from the beginning and sought cooperation, and even took the initiative to give him part of the benefits, but the other party did not appreciate it.
Pulling out a copy of Li Soonkyu's contract from the backpack behind him, Li Menglong quickly skimmed to the back part. If the worst result is that the broadcast will be stopped after the recording of this episode, then Lee Soon Kyu will still receive 50% of the remuneration in the contract.
Based on Li Menglong's understanding of her, it is estimated that Li Soonkyu will be happy to death. He can still get money without working. It is simply pie in the sky. She will not consider the exposure or the lack of money.
And if a group of show creators were changed, Li Menglong would not be optimistic about the show to be honest. Let them toss it. If Lee Soonkyu can stay with the show until the contract period is over, that is, once the six months are over, he will pack up his things immediately. Flash people.
After writing this matter down in the most important place in his notebook, Li Menglong went to look for Li Soonkyu. In their g8 room, eight people were divided into small groups and chatted with each other.
Although several episodes have been filmed and everyone has been getting along for many days, they are still the same as when they first got on the bus. There is a new member of Lee Soon Kyu's small gang, Bora.
It seemed that the other party also had a boyish personality, and he was the same age as Hyoyeon and the others, so they got to know each other a little better.
Seeing Li Menglong coming over, Li Shunkyu skillfully unzipped his backpack pocket, took out some chocolate candies and handed them to the two of them, and then secretly asked Li Menglong about the situation of the directing team.
With Lee Soon Kyu's carefulness, he could already tell that something was wrong in the group's atmosphere. This was already semi-public, but because Lee Mong Ryong never came, there was no suitable person to ask about the specific situation.
"It's pretty much what you think. Be careful not to get hurt when filming the show. It's been almost two months." Hearing what Li Menglong said, Li Soonkyu naturally understood everything.
Li Menglong wanted to say something more, but was pulled out by Li Xiugen on the side. As a result, the other party handed him a cigarette. Li Menglong shrank his shoulders: "Brother, this situation is not my fault. How could I have known in advance that something like this would happen? .”
"You've only been around for too short a period of time. Many good programs have been ruined in the hands of those bosses above. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, I'll just get my performance fee and leave when the contract is over." The one who spoke At the same time, he saw Li Menglong's expression showing no surprise at all, and expressed his appreciation for Li Menglong's ability to assess the situation.
However, Li Xiugen felt that he owed Li Menglong some favors regarding this matter. After all, he was asked to lead the way when he came to him. It was very embarrassing to be so half-dead now.
Although Li Menglong had not thought about it this way, Li Xiuquan still said: "The last two days and one night are coming to an end, and the ratings have rebounded very much. I will be filming a close family special in a few days. Do you want Sunny to come?"
"Two days and one night? Luo Yingshi?" Li Menglong's tone became much more high-spirited when he mentioned these two names.
He has also watched a lot of variety shows, but the only ones that he can watch every episode carefully and without skipping are Infinite Challenge and Two Days and One Night, which happen to be the flagship programs of these two TV stations.
"Is it appropriate for her to go? It won't embarrass you, right?"
"It's okay, just play games. Although food and accommodation are a bit difficult, the popularity is real."
"Then I'll make the reservation for her. When the show ends in a few days, I'll ask her to treat you to dinner!" Li Menglong said gratefully. It's hard to say who takes advantage of this kind of thing.
Lee Soon Kyu can naturally gain reputation and even new opportunities through the show. But at the same time, she was also trying to save face for Lee Soo Geun and even the show team. It was barely mutual benefit.
"Forget it Sunny, I'm just a little girl. I'll bring some brothers with me in a few days. You can come and have a drink too." Li Xiugen obviously wanted to count the favor on Li Menglong and at the same time draw him into his circle of friends.
Since people thought so highly of his little assistant, Li Menglong naturally agreed. At this time, Li Xiugen was called in to start filming. Li Menglong put out his cigarette butt and followed him. The opening positions were very interesting. There were three MCs on the left, then Suzy and Kang Jiyoung stood next to them, and Lee Soon Kyu stood on the far right.
As we all know, the people standing near the MC are all core members of the show. Although the competition for the position next to Yoo Jae Suk in No Choice is mostly joking, it is also really sincere.
It can be said that the eldest Miss Lee Soon Kyu is a high-spirited and upright person who doesn't stick to trivial matters. She is too lazy to be familiar with the children, or too lazy to earn money. She would like to be able to say a few words less.
But here comes the funny thing, Li Xiu Geun said a few funny points, Suzy and the others couldn't pick up the topic at all, so Li Xiu Geun could only withdraw the topic in embarrassment, and even the director who was looking at him without any desire could not help but frown.
At this time, their pet donkey broke into the camera. Suzy and the others were so scared that they all hid behind. Lee Soon Kyu walked up and pulled the donkey away. Lee Soo Geun took the opportunity to make some jokes, and the effect was Better.
Lee Mong-ryong was too lazy to watch the show that was a mess. Lee Soon-kyu was making fun of Lee Soo-geun, and Suzy was acting as a human background with a cold face, ignoring the basic rules of being a guest.
There will never be a shortage of such people in the world. Because they are incompetent and lose certain opportunities, they will start to be jealous of those in higher positions without looking for the reason in themselves.
If the directors were still more responsible, they should have brought Lee Soon Kyu to Lee Soo Geun's side at this time and called Suzy out alone to have a heart-to-heart talk, but it was obvious that they had no intention of doing so.
After the awkward opening, the group moved to a vegetable greenhouse, which was covered with soft cushions. After introducing the basic rules, they waited for Li Xiugen and others to play freely.
Lee Soo Geun silently complained a few words in his heart, and then spent the time helplessly. However, the show was unintentional, but the only bright spot still appeared. Suzy, Lee Soon Kyu and Hyoyeon were not in the same group.
Lee Soon Kyu and Hyoyeon were adjusting each other's clothes, and took a moment to pull them apart, but her sixth sense made her turn around subconsciously, and she immediately met Suzy's angry gaze.
"Tch—" Li Soonkyu curled her lips speechlessly. She really felt that Suzy was crazy. Not to mention that the role was played by Xu Xian, even if Li Menglong really did something that was sorry for her, you go find Li Menglong.
Lee Soon Kyu is also a senior after all. If her expression is broadcast on the program, Suzy will probably be scolded again.
Everyone is in harmony with each other and knows the selling point of the show, so before wrestling, dancing, singing, and comedy, and in the end, wrestling is indifferent.
It wasn't until the last one, Suzy, pressed her elbow hard on Amber's belly that Lee Soon Kyu's eyes gradually became filled with gunpowder.
Amber is a member of the Little Crystal Group, and she was forced into it by the police, anyway, through Lee Soon Kyu's light.
As the saying goes, beating a dog depends on the owner. Li Soonkyu slowly began to move his arms. Even though Li Soonkyu was short, he was very powerful among women.
Li Xiuquan arranged the order of wrestling. He looked at Li Menglong's expression and got the hint before telling the next match.
But Hyoyeon stood up first: "I'll go with Suzy and help my junior sister get revenge!"
Suzy didn't care, she felt that there were no good people in girlhood, so it was just right to kill one first and then the other.
Objectively speaking, Xiaoxian is probably the only one in Girls' Generation who can stabilize Suzy's body shape, but one is fat and the other is big-framed.
As for fighting, Li Menglong is really difficult to judge, but two people can definitely beat her. One is Kim Taeyeon who is not here. That girl has grown up beating his brother.
The other one is Hyoyeon who is taking off his coat. Although I don’t know her fighting skills, she has been practicing dance hard all year round, even to the point where she has to deliberately reduce the intensity of practice, otherwise she will develop muscle mass.
Both sides held the towel tied to each other's legs, put their chins on each other's shoulders, stood up slowly, and then slowly exerted force, looking for each other's weaknesses.
There are still some skills in Korean wrestling, but it's not the two girls' turn to show them off yet.
After Suzy realized that her tried and tested strength in the past had no effect, she anxiously stretched her legs behind Hyoyeon in an attempt to trip her up.
As a result, Hyoyeon followed suit, so Suzy and Hyoyeon fell to the mat. The winner was decided. Lee Soon Kyu quickly surrounded him, but found that Hyoyeon hadn't gotten up yet.
If you look carefully, you can see that Suzy has not let go of her hand and is still trying to pester Hyoyeon. How can Lee Soonkyu be polite to her? He stepped forward and pinched one of her fingers, causing the other party to let go of her hand in pain.
But when Lee Soon Kyu helped Hyoyeon go back, Suzy kicked Lee Soon Kyu unwillingly. According to Lee Soon Kyu's temper, she would naturally want to go back in revenge, but from the corner of her eye, she saw the camera facing this direction, so she could only pretend to be in pain and rub her calf.
Sometimes retaliation is not limited to physical revenge. This is the truth that Lee Soon Kyu plans to teach Suzy. When the show is broadcast, the other party will probably understand.
