Chapter 82 Two days and one night (1)
After the carnival event, Choi Junxiu immediately rushed to New York and met with Infinite Challenge to shoot one of the most successful specials of Infinite Challenge, "New York Gang Special", (I think I'm not writing without any provocation, so as not to say it's Infinite Challenge again...~(╯﹏╰)b) The unique black and white tone throughout the whole episode, the strong American style of the 70s, and the final reversal plot, and the gimmick of Choi Junxiu's "Entering the United States" made the ratings of this episode suddenly exploded with 39.4% of the national region and 42.2% of Seoul's horror ratings, and it was the throne of the annual ratings champion in one fell swoop. No one questioned the title of national variety shows, and Infinite Challenge was in the limelight for a while!
On the 25th, Choi Junxi's full-time chorus was sent back to South Korea at the Electric Daisy Carnival in Los Angeles, which really made the Korean media crazy. The overwhelming reports, countless boasts and praises to Choi Junxi, who were extremely flattering and flattering. Choi Junxi blushed when he saw it. How could anyone who wrote the pen bear it?
On the 28th, the Infinite Challenge ended the American special and returned to South Korea. As soon as they got off the plane, they were told that the airport was blocked by thousands of fans and dozens of media. It would be better to rely on the assistance of the airport security guards so that everyone could leave.
On the afternoon of the 28th, JS Entertainment held a press conference to respond to Choi Junxi's trip to the United States, and said that Choi Junxi has no intention of going to the United States to develop recently, but also said that if there is a suitable opportunity, Choi Junxi will also try to enter the United States.
On the 29th, JS Entertainment Company issued another news, saying that Choi Junxiu has been confirmed to be the sixth regular member of the KBS variety show "HappySunday - Two Days and One Night" and officially joined the melee of Sunday variety show. KBS then issued a statement that the original members of "Two Days and One Night" Ji Sang-yeol and Lu Hongzhe regretfully bid farewell to 21 due to physical factors. At the same time, Choi Junxiu and Lee Seung-ki joined the program team. The news immediately brought a storm to the Sunday variety show.
On the 30th, "Baby" sold more than 600,000 copies, falling below the chin of everyone in the Korean music industry.
On November 1, the 2007 MKMF Awards Ceremony announced the list of candidates for major awards. Choi Junxi was shortlisted for the Digital Popularity Award ("baby"), Newcomer SOLO ("baby"), Lyric Music Award (""), Composition Award ("baby"), Lyrics Award ("baby"), OST Award ("baby"), Men's Singer Award ("baby"), Song Award ("baby"), Singer of the Year Award 9 awards, which really blinded a large group of people's krypton gold eyes. When did Mnet, who has always been famous for being selfish and short-skinned, become so generous? Except for the last one, the annual singer himself, the other 8 awards are completely deserved.
The number of downloads on "baby" online is 13 people, 600,000 sales of 600,000 copies can block the mouths of all people with opinions. With the popularity of "The Coffee Prince No. 1 Store", Yoon Eun Hye's image of Eun Chan with short hair has become popular among thousands of viewers. There are many girls with short hair on the streets of Seoul, and "The Man" has become the strongest voice of OST this year.
Therefore, although the Mnet-MKMF awards ceremony may not be very popular with Choi Junxi, he still has to do enough on the surface. Anyway, it is just a shortlist, so whether he can win the award is still the same.
When Infinite Challenge and two days and one night were broadcast, Choi Junxi's popularity in the art world also increased rapidly. Especially after the terrifying 42.2% ratings of the unscrupulous New York gangster special came out, the MBC and KBS entertainment awards also became popular.
In short, entering the last two months of 2007, Choi Junxiu was in power with a super strong attitude and two forces of art. With the wind of his journey to the United States, he stepped into the ranks of first-line singers and first-line MCs.
In terms of popularity, the competitors of the song industry are completely overwhelming Bigbang and wodergirls. Not to mention superjunior, their second album "Don'tdon" is not a success, and it is completely supported by the popularity of the group. And Dongfang Shenqi is in Japan this year and has no competition with South Korea. So Choi Junxiu became the well-deserved most popular singer in the second half of the year.
On November 2, 8:00AM, Choi Junxi and his new assistant Lin Mu (came a guest appearance by book friend Ximen Shushu), and stylist Yin Xueyue rushed to KBS headquarters. (The iron triangle of Korean entertainment novels has finally gathered together, agent Wei Ge——came a guest appearance by book friend "Fat Dog”, assistant Lin Mu——came a guest appearance by book friend "Ximen Shushu", stylist Yin Xueyue—came a guest appearance by book friend "Xuechenxing”)
Lin Mu, male, 25 years old, has a gentle personality and is cautious. Because although Choi Junxiu is usually laughing, he has his own habit of sticking to it. Only those who are not strong can cooperate with Choi Junxiu. Lin Mukuanhe's temperament meets Choi Junxiu's standards, so he was chosen by Wei Sonan. After getting along these days, the two have been playing together, and Choi Junxiu has no dissatisfaction.
"Junxi, there are the pastries I prepared in the bag. Do you want to bring them with you? I heard that this program is very scammed for two days and one night..." Lin Mu reminded while driving.
"Oh?" Cui Junxi retracted his gaze from the window and found the bag Lin Mu mentioned, which contained a small bag of red bean cake. He smiled and said, "Thank you brother~" He ate a piece, suddenly thought of something, put it away again, rolled it up and put it into the pocket of his coat, "Forget it, I'd better keep it for a while, just like you said, I'm probably going to suffer after waiting."
After a while, Choi Junxi suddenly said, "By the way, brother, sister, you'd better be prepared, even the assistant will be cheated in this show..."
"What?" *2, Lin Mu and Yin Xueyue screamed in surprise.
"Yes." Cui Junxi's mouth smiled with gloating smile, but his words were innocent. "I also heard from Brother Hongzhe, so you can ask for blessings..."
"Hehe...^_^" The kid smiled fiercely.
"!!"*2, the two assistants were speechless, "..."
At 8:20, Choi Junxiu arrived at the KBS headquarters building and could see that the program team was already preparing for two days and one night. Kim Jongmin, who arrived first, arrived, Lee Soo-gun, he greeted happily when he saw Choi Junxiu get off the car, "Ai Yigu, our busy one is here, Junxiu, come here quickly..."
Choi Junxi could only trot while bowing to the production team, "Hello~"*n, this is a technical job. If you are not careful, you will know what it is like to plant onions back. Fortunately, Choi Junxi has experienced too many such things. Relying on her young body, she bowed and ran while running without delaying her, and she also took the radio and headset handed to him by the staff. This is the sadness of being a junior.
"Ai Yigu," Lee Soo-gen hugged Choi Junxi happily, "I finally hope you, Junxi, write a song for my brother, so Junxi, I can save Jun Hyun-don from being proud of me all day..."
“Haha…^_^”
Kim Jongmin smiled honestly and said, "Brother, you should forget it. Junseok, you should write a reliable one for me, just like "Baby"."
"Oh, you're even more overdoing." Li Xiugen said pretending to be dissatisfied, "Is "baby" a cabbage? That's a classic with a click rate of over 200 million (after the trip to the United States, the clicks on "baby" on youtube finally exceeded 200 million, and there is no reason to be strong, ^_^), and it's your turn to pick and choose?"
"Haha...^_^" Everyone laughed. Choi Junxi knew that these two brothers were talking to him for his integration into the program team. He happily hugged his brothers one by one. These two elder brothers had already met in 2005. During the happy period of tens of thousands of yuan, Li Xiugen helped Choi Junxi very much, so his relationship has always been very good.
While laughing, Jiang Hudong, Yin Zhiyuan and Lee Seung-ki arrived one by one, and 8:30 points, so the hosts have arrived. Lee Soo-gen glanced at everyone and said with emotion, "I'm really a big deal now. I didn't expect our show to get such a lineup, National MC, Yuanzu idol, Dance King, Crown Prince actor, popular, ~~ Dafa! To gather such a lineup to do the show, only KBS has such a courage..."
Everyone was stunned, isn't it? The energy of Kang Ho-dong MC is not blown. The crystal boy Yin Ji-won represents the earliest generation of Korean waves. Gao Yaota's Kim Jong-min is the king of Disco, Lee Seung-ki, and Choi Jun-seok are all the best in the younger generation. Such a lineup is indeed very shocking.
Li Xiugen turned his tone, "So I am already an artist of this level. I really thank KBS. Thank you for the production team for recruiting me into the program team. Thank you very much..." After saying that, he bowed to the production team with a stern bow.
"What~" *5, Jiang Hudong and the five others burst into laughter and crying, "Haha...^_^"
8:40, the recording officially started in two days and one night. Kang Ho-dong and four others made opening remarks in front of the KBS building, while Lee Seung-ki and Choi Jun-suk hid behind the background waiting to appear. Lee Seung-ki suddenly said, "Jun-suk..."
"Yes, brother..." Choi Junxiu quickly answered, because Lee Seung-ki was born in January 1987, and was 2 months older than Choi Junxiu. Besides, Lee Seung-ki debuted in 2004. From which point of view, Lee Seung-ki is both his senior, elder brother. The two have only met occasionally on TV stations before, and have never greeted each other. Even ordinary friends are not considered common friends. With age and various reasons for the role, Choi Junxiu dares not have any disrespect in front of him, otherwise it would be a very big trouble for both of them.
Li Sheng is basically a very cautious person, so he smiled modestly, "Don't be too nervous, I just want to discuss with you, what if I let my brother go out first?"
Choi Junxi was stunned. Generally speaking, the seniors were the final weight of the game, and the juniors were humble in the play. Although there were many exceptions, it was generally true that the juniors first appeared in line with the mainstream consensus in South Korea. The program team also arranged this way. Now that Lee Seung-ki said this, Choi Junxi was stunned for a moment.
"Brother, this is not good..." Choi Junxiu reacted and quickly became humble, "Brother is a senior..."
"It doesn't matter," Lee Seung-ki smiled softly, "My brother's skills are not good, and he still has to rely on you to support the game later..."
"Brother, you're so polite..." Choi Junxiu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lee Seung-ki. "Don't worry, your popularity is not a joke... You have to help me later, just do that."
Chapter completed!
