551 Other plans
This time, Fanxing and others have at least one guess that is correct:
Just when the trend of "Masked Singing King" was storming, Li Rongxia did not start a live broadcast, and was indeed struggling by secret matters. In order to avoid any form of spoilers, he had to say goodbye to the live broadcast; and because he was busy with another job, it was very difficult to start a live broadcast with "only sounds and no images".
At this time, Li Rongxia was in Spain.
But, what exactly is going on?
The timeline should be slightly reversed, almost a month ago - at that time, Li Rongxia had just completed the six-game winning streak of the "Masked Singer King", and the momentum of winning streak still cannot be seen. Zhao Zhuanghe believed that the Coffee Prince was very likely to challenge the great achievements of ten consecutive championships and was looking forward to it.
The foreshadowing has been laid since then.
Preparing for the "Masked Singer King" is a very hard and huge task. Challenge songs, adapting songs, and practicing songs, it takes a lot of time every day. From the composition of the song to the stage structure to the performance method, every link needs to be polished and adjusted slowly. The words "one minute on the stage, ten years of hard work off the stage" are definitely not just talk.
From nothing to something, every stage of the "Masked Singing King" is immersed in Li Rongxia's countless sweats.
Simply put, it’s so busy that it explodes.
However, even though he was so busy that he was overwhelmed by Li Rongxia, without a camera lens, he still had a match with Luo Yingshi.
Who is Luo Yingshi?
In the entertainment industry, program producers are like film directors, with a star aura and are widely known.
For example, Kim Tae-ho, the producer of "Infinite Challenge", and Luo Ying-seok, the producer of "Two Days and One Night", both programs are national programs with vitality of more than ten years. The producer plays a great role behind the success of the program. In a sense, it is even more important than the artist.
With their respective ace programs, Kim Tae-ho and Luo Ying-suk have both become top figures in the industry, but their subsequent career development trajectories are completely different.
Kim Tae-ho is a little idealistic. He is always working hard to change the chaos in the industry, such as low treatment of screenwriters, unattended comedians, no one pays attention to life security behind the scenes, etc. He also understands that his name has a certain weight, so he always stands up and speaks out bravely.
In September this year, a screenwriter strike occurred on mbc TV, and then the screenwriters of KBS TV also joined the strike.
On the one hand, they protested against false news, tampered with news and fired reporters at will; on the other hand, they protested that senior TV station officials randomly interfered with the guest of the program, randomly interfered with the production of the program, and received bribes for personal gain.
After careful consideration, Kim Tae-ho and "Infinite Challenge" bravely stood on the side of the screenwriter and launched a long struggle with the TV station.
The ending of the story, the screenwriter won - a partial victory in the phases.
However, Kim Tae-ho still encountered the settlement after autumn. In May 2018, the "infinite challenge" that had gone through thirteen years of storms was officially suspended; and after that, he was directly thrown into the cold palace and transferred to civil service. He had no programs for a long time, and it was not until July 2019 that he returned to the audience's vision by relying on the variety show "What are you doing when you are idle".
Luo Yingshi is more realistic and smarter. In fact, when he was young, he was full of enthusiasm. After he made the "two days and one night" into a national program, he also had a head-on confrontation with KBS TV, but unfortunately he failed to succeed. In 2012, the three major TV stations of mbc, kbs and ytn jointly went on strike for 170 days, and the battle was tragic. After witnessing the ending of countless comrades with his own eyes, he became dissatisfied.
Just at the end of 2012, Luo Yingshi's contract with KBS TV expired. He gave up his plan to renew his contract and switched to TVN TV station, a subsidiary of CJ Entertainment. This is a paid cable TV station. The structure is completely different from that of public TV stations, and the model of the entire career has also changed drastically.
In this case, the original crew of "two days and one night" was disbanded, and then the new members were reorganized to start the third season journey; in that case, Luo Yingshi set a new high on TVN.
"Grandpa of Flowers", "Youth of Flowers", "Three Times and Three Meals", "New Journey to the West", etc., Luo Yingshi's talents have been greatly demonstrated, and every variety show has achieved great success, which has also made TVN TV pay more and more attention to Luo Yingshi, and the authority and freedom given to him have become more and more.
In 2019, a reporter once counted Luo Yingshi's income - his annual salary is higher than that of TVN TV station, and he has become the top 1% of the pyramids in the entertainment industry.
Luo Yingshi even won the title of "Golden Hand", which means that as long as Luo Yingshi takes action, any variety show can be revitalized.
Simply put, if Luo Yingshi wants to open a new program, there should be countless artists willing to take on an olive branch, and the competition rate should be very terrible. Li Ran also broke through many difficulties and contacted Luo Yingshi and won a chance to interview for Li Rongxia.
Yes, the "Masked Singer King" is still in progress, but Li Ran has aimed at the next step, reality show variety shows.
In fact, Li Ran’s idea is very clear. In the current times, “reality” has become the most important fan-gathering trait, and “produce-101” can be considered this. However, the fierce competition for talent shows is often prone to deviate from the track under malicious editing. Before the release of “4.0”, Li Ran had already begun planning to find the most suitable program for Li Rongxia to show off his real traits in private.
Luo Yingshi is on Li Ran’s waitlist; and the timing is just right.
Recently, Luo Yingshi is preparing for the second season of the new program "Yin Restaurant".
"Yin Restaurant" is a program that started in March 2017. It takes on the "Wedding Diary" starring Ahn Jae Hyun and Goo Hye Sun. The creative concept is quite interesting:
The artist goes to a strange overseas to open a Korean restaurant, which not only allows you to see how the locals will react, but also shows the sparks between the artists.
Luo Yingshi said that everyone may have more or less fantasized about getting rid of the fiercely competitive life and opening their own small shop in a free and leisurely place. This time they hope to make such a try and unfold a unique daily story in a brand new place.
For ordinary people, it is very rare to open a restaurant abroad to shoot variety shows, and people can't help but expect it.
In the first season of the show, Luo Yingshi invited actress Yoon Yoo-jung to serve as the chef, Lee Shui-jin and Zheng Yu-mi as assistants, and later Shin-jiu-yao joined forces to serve as the dormitory and went to Bali, Indonesia to open a restaurant. After the show started, the average ratings were 6.2%, and the highest ratings were 8.5%, which was the first place in the same period of cable TV.
Without any suspense, the second season was successfully booked.
Chapter completed!
