Chapter 36 Special Invitation
After Yoo Jae-suk's relief, Lee Hyori finally stopped being tense and began to talk and laugh with Yoo Jae-suk. On the other hand, after everything came up, Kim Jong-kwon began to barbecue. There was no way, such things have always been done by "buynei". Unfortunately, among these three people today, he is the youngest.
Fortunately, Kim Jong-kwon does not reject this errand, but likes it very much. As a foodie, he pays a lot of attention to barbecue, and he is also very confident in his craftsmanship.
Kim Jong-kwon cut the roasted pork belly into slices of moderate size, and then began to flip it constantly. The roasted pork belly sounded, and the aroma of the meat continued to spread out, causing the two people who were having a good conversation to keep glanced at this side.
Lee Hyo-ri asked him directly without hesitation if he had done so and asked him to hurry up.
Kim Jong-kwon looked at the roasted pork belly with golden skin and felt it was OK. He put down his things, picked up a piece of pork belly, wrapped it with raw garlic and green peppers in hot sauce and wrapped it in lettuce. Then he handed it to Lee Hyo-ri, who looked indifferent to him.
Lee Hyo-ri first turned around disdainfully and didn't even look at him. Then Yoo Jae-suk, who was signaled, gave Lee Hyo-ri a wink, and then said, "Hyo-ri, Jong Kwon was also unintentional just now, so you forgive him."
Lee Hyo-ri, who was not angry at all, got the steps given by Yoo Jae-suk and forgives Kim Jong-kwon.
Lee Hyo-ri looked very "badly" and ate it reluctantly in one bite. Kim Jong-kwon wrapped the pork belly for her.
"Um~ It's delicious~" Lee Hyori, who looked 'I'm very angry' just now, suddenly laughed so hard that his eyes were gone, and he repeatedly praised Kim Jong-kwon's barbecue skills.
Yoo Jae-suk, who had known Lee Hyo-ri's personality, looked like he was not surprised, and Kim Jong-kwon, who had probably figured out Lee Hyo-ri's temperament, also looked for it for granted. Maybe Lee Hyo-ri's acting skills are really bad. He has never cheated anyone in acting in anger, but he ended up giving up a piece of meat...
Next, Kim Jong-kwon didn't have to serve him anymore. The three of them started to eat barbecue and drink soju. Kim Jong-kwon was only responsible for filling in the meat at about the same time, and the atmosphere was hot for a moment.
It is worth mentioning that when he learned that Yoo Jae-suk was treating him, Kim Jong-kwon really let go of the shackles and was ready to kill this guy. He asked for 3 portions of Korean beef worth about 50,000 won, and 2 portions of snowflake beef worth 58,000 yuan per piece, and the rest was pork belly.
Because when Yoo Jae-suk was ordering food, his eyes were already on fire. Looking at Yoo Jae-suk who was about to explode, Kim Jong-kwon didn't dare to order anything else, so just as Yoo Jae-suk gritted his teeth in pain, Kim Jong-kwon also regretfully stopped ordering food.
What’s funny is that when ordering dishes, Yoo Jae-suk, who looked like he was going to kill Kim Jong-kwon, was the favorite one at the dinner table. If you could hear Yoo Jae-suk’s mental activities at this time, you must be "I spent so much notice fee, I must come back! Kim Jong-kwon, you are waiting for the day you treat you."
"Well~ so full, so full. I didn't expect Jae-suk oppa to be so generous today. I even invited me to eat Korean beef and snowflake beef. Hehe~ I must call me next time I come." Lee Hyori, who actually didn't eat much, looked happy and squinted at Yoo Jae-suk and smiled.
"Haha, please treat Hyoly to dinner, of course it's expensive, ha..." Liu Zaishi's heart was bleeding, and his face still looked like "I'm very generous".
Lee Hyo-ri, who didn't know the inside story, seemed very helpful, and smiled even happier, showing his iconic crescent smile. Kim Jong-kwon next to him was very hard to hold back his smile. This guy's appearance of being a fat man is so funny!
"Hyulie, I've eaten the food too. What are you thinking about when I told you on the phone?" Yoo Jae-suk glared at Kim Jong-kwon, then asked Lee Hyulie and said.
Lee Hyo-ri's expression tightened and he also got into a state. Now he was talking about important things, about her future development. No matter how good her personal relationship was, she had to consider it carefully. This was also her purpose today. She was hesitant and confused now, so she hoped that Yoo Jae-suk could explain it to her clearly, so she could... convince her!
"Zaishi Oppa, I'm also very confused. Can what you said really work? If you just go to a program for one, it's absolutely fine. But will the audience like to watch it by asking me to do a program with you? Will it not lose the freshness and mystery of me?"
Lee Hyo-ri was still preparing to listen to Yoo Jae-suk's opinion, so he told him all his concerns.
"Hyuri, will Oppa harm you? Jidong also knows this, and he did not object, proving that my idea is feasible. The times have changed now, and it is not the kind of person who can survive by playing with mystery and keeping a distance. Now more idols have begun to take the 'people-friendly' route, starting to interact with fans, and frequently exposed them in front of people."
Yoo Jae-suk took a sip of soju and continued
"You should be the most imaginative of how fast the idol is now. In such a crazy era, it is not feasible to continue to maintain mystery and maintain the so-called sense of distance.
What's more, Hyoly is in your current situation. The song and ballad industry can no longer make any breakthroughs. People's expectations for you are also rapidly decreasing. When the road to actors is blocked again, Hyoly, you have only this path to go now."
"When you are fixed on a show now, and people will re-reach you and meet a different Lee Hyo-ri. Someone may no longer like you because your true face is exposed, but I believe that more people will fall in love with you because of the real Lee Hyo-ri.
Everyone who watches the show will be full of surprises. As long as we can create higher ratings, more people will know you, understand you, and even like you. Hyori, this is an opportunity, not only you, but also for me."
Yoo Jae-suk revealed his views and ideas in full, and the rest depends on Lee Hyo-ri's ideas.
Yoo Jae-suk looked at Lee Hyo-ri with a deep thought and sighed in his heart. He really wanted to help Lee Hyo-ri, and at the same time he wanted to use Lee Hyo-ri's name to increase the attention of the new program. Although Yoo Jae-suk did not say it clearly, Lee Hyo-ri understood it in his heart.
At this time, Kim Jong-kwon, who was already in a state of confusion, finally came back to his senses, "It turns out that I came out today because of this. Then I, who is sitting here, are also invited by Yoo Jae-suk." Kim Jong-kwon, who was thinking, heard Yoo Jae-suk say again.
"Jong Quan, I believe you can see that too. This time I will invite you and Hyoly to join my new show. If you don't want to, don't force me. Brother Jae-Shi is not the kind of person who forces others."
"Brother Shi, this is a bit too sudden. I need to think about it. Can I briefly introduce the new program to me? I don't even know the name of the program that invited me to join!" Kim Jong-kwon complained to this brother.
"Haha, it was my brother who was negligent. This time the show is a reality show variety show, probably similar to Brother Hu Dong's "Two Days and One Night", but we are not as cruel and hard as they are.
Our program is tentatively called "Birth of a Family", which focuses on family affection, a team like a family. Every time we record a program, we will choose a farmhouse, then do some farm work, intersperse some small games, etc...." Liu Zaishi tried his best to briefly introduce the general situation.
"Well, I roughly understand, but why did Brother Jae-Shi think of inviting me? I am a newcomer..." Kim Jong-kwon asked in confusion.
Yoo Jae-suk looked at Kim Jong-kwon strangely, and looked at him with a puzzled look. He was sure that Kim Jong-kwon really didn't know how popular he was now, and not fooled him. He was relieved and slowly analyzed it.
After Yoo Jae-suk's explanation, Kim Jong-kwon suddenly realized it.
It turns out that although the rise of variety shows has already risen, the previous Xman, love letter, and later the infinite challenges of outdoor real variety shows and the rise of two days and one night have given people the illusion that variety shows are the current trend.
Actually, it’s true that this is true, but unfortunately it’s only in the eyes of the audience. In the entertainment industry, variety shows are still the lowest, and they can barely compare them with idols, but compared with actors, especially movie actors, they are born with a lot of heads down.
Although more and more actors are now on variety shows promotional programs, the actors look down on these funny artists in their hearts, not to mention that those big-name actors never appear on variety shows, and they do their best in terms of mystery and sense of distance.
It is an indisputable fact that an actor has a higher status than a funny artist.
So this time, Yoo Jae-suk, who was already full of confidence, encountered many nails. He was going to invite some popular actors to improve the topic and increase the ratings. Unfortunately, most of them directly rejected him.
Helplessly, after discussing with the program team, he finally confirmed the performance of Kim Soo-ro and several new actors, because only these new actors who have not yet emerged will cherish such opportunities and increase exposure. Kim Soo-ro's acting career was caught in a bottleneck and agreed to appear and find another way out.
So from Yoo Jae-suk's helpless words, Kim Jong-kwon learned a helpless fact that he was the most popular among the actors. If not Kim Soo-ro, as long as Kim Jong-kwon confirmed his performance, he would be the biggest player in the entire program team.
Kim Jong-kwon's ignorance of his current popularity also made Yoo Jae-suk feel very bad. It turned out that he already had a lot of "fan clubs", but because Kim Jong-kwon had no agent and no one specialized in managing it, it was impossible to form a scale, which led to Kim Jong-kwon always thinking that he was just a young actor who had just made a movie.
With the exaggeration of the Korean media, one can make ten, not to mention the starring of the recent box office dark horse. So now Kim Jong-kwon really underestimates himself. At least among the new actors, he has already made his debut!
Chapter completed!
