Chapter 392 Surprise
Half past eight in the evening.
A small conference room in the hotel.
"Didn't you find anything wrong?"
"Look at their state in the video now, and look at their state at the beginning, don't you feel anything at all?"
Huang Xu pointed at the comparison video on the projection and vented his anger to several people led by Park Xiugen and Lin Yongzhe.
"I remember that before the recording of the show started, I told you that this variety show is to help Tara and others promote and expand their popularity."
"And the focus of the program is to capture their beauty so as to attract fans and expand their popularity."
"As for the various beautiful scenery and delicious food, these are secondary."
"But look at you guys, shooting for the sake of shooting, completely forgetting what the original intention is?"
"What on earth do you want to do?"
"."
In the conference room, Huang Xu vented to everyone led by Park Xiugen and Lin Yongzhe for several minutes before stopping.
Huang Xu, who was just about to take a drink of water and catch his breath, saw them all lower their heads, acting like they were wrong, and the anger in his heart was ignited again.
In this situation, if someone could stand up and explain the reason, Huang Xu might feel better.
They seemed to know that they were wrong now, and they lowered their heads with guilty conscience and did not dare to look at him. In Huang Xu's view, this was evading responsibility.
Trying to use the law without blaming others, or waiting for someone to take the responsibility to avoid one's own punishment.
This kind of behavior is what Huang Xu hates the most.
In fact, the reason for this incident is very simple, that is, Park Xiu Geun and the others were a little too anxious.
This is my first time as a director and the chief PD of a show, so I want to perform well.
However, Huang Xu's shooting plan and script, coupled with weekly inspections, restricted them to a tight limit, leaving no room for them to play.
So they wanted to speed up the filming process and perform well in front of Huang Xu.
After all, they were able to finish filming early and help Huang Xu save some filming expenses. This can be considered their achievement.
Therefore, a few people tacitly speeded up the filming progress of the show. The daily shooting schedule was very full, and it was basically a non-stop state.
The consequences of doing so are also obvious, that is, they are very tired.
Whether it is the program staff or Tara and the others, after such a long period of filming, both their minds and bodies are basically in a very exhausted state.
Physical fatigue can also be recovered through sleep, or you can force yourself through it.
This fatigue is not a big problem for mature artists who have experienced death.
But mental fatigue is not so easy to recover from.
In a state of mental fatigue, it is actually okay for them to shoot singing and dancing, after all, expression management has basically become their physical instinct.
But when they need to express a series of expressions such as surprise, satisfaction, happiness, etc., it is not so easy to handle.
At the beginning of the filming, Huang Xu asked them to be sincere when making these expressions, so that viewers can feel the same after seeing them.
Although some people's acting skills can reach this level, it is obvious that the acting skills of a few of them cannot reach this level.
So when Huang Xu saw the video just now, he really couldn't stand it when he saw the superficial expressions of Tara and others, full of formulaic surprises, satisfaction and happiness.
And even an outsider like Zhang Rui could see this, but Park Xiugen and the others actually ignored it.
This is why Huang Xusheng is so grand.
If something hadn't happened soon and it had been delayed for a long time, Huang Xu would definitely settle the score with them.
After taking a look at the time, it was almost nine o'clock. Huang Xu could only say something to them
"Tomorrow's filming will be suspended for now. Think about it carefully."
"It's best to give me an explanation tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he turned around and left the temporarily rented conference room.
Several people in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Huang Xu leave.
This was the first time for any of them to see Huang Xusheng so angry.
Since the establishment of the program, Huang Xu has always been kind and good-natured, rarely criticizing others.
Basically, we just point out the mistakes made by the team members and correct them.
Even when they had a conflict with Tara and the others last time, Huang Xu just called them back and said a few words.
As a result, they were so angry and angry now, which made them uncomfortable for a while.
Of course, the more reason is that their faults are indeed too outrageous and some are too low-end.
Recalling the comparison video that Huang Xu had just played, they felt a little embarrassed and at the same time felt uneasy about their future.
If Huang Xu drove them away in anger, they would have nowhere to cry.
If you miss this opportunity to lead the filming of a variety show, it will be difficult to come across again.
Therefore, when the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became a little subtle, even a little silent, Park Soo-geun, as the PD, had to stand up and speak.
Looking at everyone with their heads lowered and not daring to look up, he took a deep breath and said.
"It's okay, everyone, please don't worry. PD Jin has not fired us directly now, which proves that there is still a chance for things to ease."
"In this way, let's inform the people below that we will suspend filming tomorrow and take a day off."
"Then we need to discuss now and see how to make up for our mistakes."
"In addition, as PD, I have to bear the main responsibility. I will go to PD Jin tomorrow morning to admit my mistakes, you guys"
"."
With Park Soo Geun's arrangements, the program team seemed to have found a backbone and began to act according to his arrangements.
Of course, the main reason is because Park Soo-geun said that he has to bear the main responsibility.
I believe that with Park Soo Geun taking the initiative to take responsibility, they will no longer have a big responsibility, at least they will not be fired.
Huang Xu, who had already left the conference room, did not know what happened next.
At this time, he quickly returned to the room, not daring to stop at all, and took Goo Hara directly to the place where the dinner would be held tonight.
. . . . . . .
In a private room of a hotel not far from the hotel.
"Zhang Rui, when will your friend come over?"
"What time did you make an appointment?"
"We have been waiting for more than an hour now, why haven't you come yet?"
"Is he your friend?"
"If he is your friend and your best brother, how can he let you off like this?"
A fashionably dressed white-collar beauty looked at Zhang Rui with some dissatisfaction, an expression of impatience on her face.
This afternoon, she received a call from her boyfriend, saying that his dorm brother was back and wanted to meet up for a meal.
She was quite happy to hear the news.
Although the notice was a bit late, as Zhang Rui's girlfriend, she was still well prepared.
She came back from get off work early, changed her clothes, and put on beautiful makeup. It could be said that she had dressed up for dinner tonight.
The result?
She and Zhang Rui arrived here before eight o'clock, and waited for more than an hour. It was already nine o'clock, and Zhang Rui's friend hadn't arrived yet.
How could she accept this?
Even now, she didn't get up and left directly. She was already good-tempered and gave Zhang Rui a lot of face.
Zhang Rui, who was next to her, also looked helpless as he listened to his girlfriend's complaints. Because he had been with Huang Xu for a long time, he knew that he was not the type to look down on others, and he also knew that he was indeed delayed by something today.
But these girlfriends didn't know, so they could only look at their girlfriends with smiles on their faces.
"Yingying, Huang Xu is not that kind of person, and he didn't do this on purpose."
"And didn't I just say that? He has something to do at the moment and he really can't afford to delay it."
"Let's just wait patiently for a while."
"With your small company, what is so important?"
After listening to her boyfriend's explanation, An Ying sat down, but she still couldn't help but complain to Zhang Rui.
In her impression, Zhang Rui's company was just a small company with only five or six people.
Although Huang Xu's salary to Zhang Rui is indeed not low, it can only be said that Zhang Rui is easier to use and can be used as a cow or a horse for him.
Didn't notice that he was out on business every day, leaving little time for the two of them to see each other.
Naturally, her impression of Huang Xu as the boss was not so good.
Faced with his girlfriend's complaints, Zhang Rui also looked helpless. He now regrets that he was a little too low-key when he told his girlfriend earlier.
His current company is indeed a small company with only a few people.
But this doesn't mean that Huang Xu only has a small company like theirs.
It's just that there are a lot of things involved and it's not convenient for him to explain too much.
In the end, he could only defend himself somewhat unwillingly.
"Actually, our company is not that small. There are still many and important things to do."
"."
"Oh, you'll know after I've been back for a long time."
Facing his girlfriend's suspicious eyes, Zhang Rui also felt a little regretful.
Why did I pretend to be low-key at that time? It would have been nice if I had revealed a little more when talking about my company.
But when he said this, he suddenly remembered what Huang Xu mentioned earlier.
"Forget it, I know you don't believe it. Let's see when you have time. I'll take you out for a walk, just so you can see the industry and scale of our company."
"By then, you will know what I am busy with every day."
"I think so too."
Hearing what her boyfriend said, An Ying's expression suddenly turned bad.
"I also want to take a vacation to rest, but the company doesn't allow it?"
"As you know, the current market situation is not good. Our leaders make us work overtime every day and don't even want us to rest on weekends, let alone holidays."
"Then don't you still have annual leave? Can't you take annual leave?"
"What do you think?"
An Ying looked at her boyfriend speechlessly. She had to work overtime on weekends, and she even asked for leave. Wasn't this just looking for trouble?
And Zhang Rui also reacted belatedly.
In fact, it's not surprising that he is like this. It's actually because he hasn't officially been in class for a long time.
After graduation, before being recruited by Huang Xu, he worked in an insurance company for half a year, but during that time, he was basically familiar with the work and almost never thought about asking for leave.
Then when he arrived at Huang Xu's place, he would be even more free.
Huang Xu has no attendance requirements for him. As long as he completes the arranged things, he can do whatever he wants in the remaining time.
Therefore, when faced with his girlfriend's complaints, he did not have such a deep understanding and could only deal with his girlfriend's complaints.
Then look for an opportunity to quickly change the topic.
"You said that when you have your next vacation, how about we go to South Korea together."
"Aren't you also curious about Korea?"
"How about we go to South Korea? Not only can I take you to see those celebrities and so on, but I can also take you to see our company."
"And maybe it can bring you up close to those stars."
"Really?"
"Of course, our company is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and Huang Xu is not just a small boss on the surface."
Faced with his girlfriend's doubts, Zhang Rui showed full confidence and even added directly without being satisfied.
"And wait a while, I might give you a surprise."
"Surprise?"
"What's the surprise?"
An Ying took the bait and looked at Zhang Rui excitedly.
However, how could Zhang Rui reveal the surprise in advance at this time.
Not even if his girlfriend begs.
Fortunately, he didn't let the fun down. After refusing to answer what the surprise was, he then asked An Ying.
"After you go to South Korea, are there any places you want to see?"
"I can make plans in advance, or I can find someone in advance to see if someone from the company can make an appointment for us."
"Well, actually, there are quite a lot of places I want to go."
An Ying, whose appetite was whetted, saw that her boyfriend really didn't want to reveal the surprise, so she didn't dwell on it.
After all, the people he was going to see for a while were just his roommate, brother and boss, and his girlfriend.
What big surprise can there be?
Why not discuss plans to go to South Korea after the holidays?
With this in mind, she also began to talk passionately to Zhang Rui.
"If I really go to Seoul, then my first destination will be SM Entertainment. I want to see if I can meet the SNSD Unnies."
"They are so handsome, me"
"Besides them, there are also SJ, Tara, KARA and others, I want them too"
"."
Listening to his girlfriend's words, Zhang Rui kept suppressing his smile.
He actually knows that his girlfriend’s favorite is Girls’ Generation, and he also gave his girlfriend a signed album of Girls’ Generation before.
But he has never said that Sunny in Girls' Generation is Huang Xu's girlfriend.
So now he can imagine her expression when she sees Sunny when she arrives in Seoul.
And when he heard KARA's name from his girlfriend, the smile on his face could no longer be hidden.
Just when An Ying was about to ask why Zhang Rui was laughing, the door to the private room suddenly opened.
"Sorry, I'm really sorry, Brother Rui, for making you wait for me for so long."
As the voice appeared, Zhang Rui also took his girlfriend and stood up directly to look at the door.
Then, before Zhang Rui could say anything else, An Ying looked at the two people coming in from the door, or rather the girl among them, and was dumbfounded.
"You are."
