Rebirth of the Director in Korea

Facing Jung Hyuk-jae, Kim Tae-ho, who met him for the first time, looked very solemn.

Yoo Jae-seok on the side saw Kim Tae-ho approaching him to talk to Jung Hyuk-jae. Before Jung Hyuk-jae could speak, he had already started to introduce him.

“Hyuk-jae~ah, this is the assistant PD-Kim Tae-ho-ssi of “Unreasonable Challenge”, and my colleague is also a good friend of mine in the program group!” Yoo Jae-seok He pointed his finger at Kim Tae-ho, and then introduced it in his mouth.

Kim Tae-ho in 1975 and Yoo Jae-seok in 1972, there is not too much difference in age. After more than half a year of getting along, the two people with similar personalities and temperaments have naturally become Friends, because of this, Yoo Jae-seok introduced Kim Tae-ho to Jung Hyuk-jae.

In fact, this one does not need Yoo Jae-seok to help introduce him. Kim Tae-ho is the creator of the successful mode of “Infinite Challenge”. Later generations of “Infinite Challenge” opened the deadlock and made the column into With MBCTV Station’s variety show trump card, it can be said that Kim Tae-ho is indispensable.

“Kim Tae-ho -ssi, hello!” This is the first official meeting between the two. I have seen it from a distance in the MBCTV Station a few times before, just before There is no chance.

“Taeho-ssi, Jung Hyuk-jae, I don’t need to introduce it?”

Kim Tae-ho smiled and waved his hand. “Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, I must have known each other!”

Kim Tae-ho smiled and looked towards Jung Hyuk-jae on the side,” directed by Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi I have watched several TV dramas!”

Don’t look at the’handsome man’ Kim Tae-ho in front of you. The appearance of Kim Tae-ho is not very in line with the aesthetics of ordinary people, but no matter in terms of interpersonal relationship, or for people’s affairs , Many things about Kim Tae-ho are definitely worth learning for youngster.

He is just over 30 years old and he is considered a younger generation in TV Station. Of course, Jung Hyuk-jae, who is only 25 years old this year, looks younger that’s all.

“For the Jung Hyuk-jae-ssi you just proposed at the meeting,’Move the scene outdoors and hand over the process to MC’, I particularly agree with this point!” Kim Tae- ho said again.

Don’t look at him now as the auxiliary PD of “Unreasonable Challenge”, but the opportunity is always reserved for those who are prepared, so Kim Tae-ho has started to provide his total PD from a very early time. Preparation for the road, for example, facing the current dilemma encountered in “Unreasonable Challenge”.

Whether a variety show program can meet the appetite of the audience and whether it can cater to the laws of the market is due to many reasons, at least “Unreasonable Challenge” and its predecessor “Wu Mou’s “Challenge” has many questions worthy of deep consideration.

Facing the bottleneck where “Unreasonable Challenge” is currently located, Kim Tae-ho knows that there are some problems in the program group, but he does not know where the problem is. Today, Jung Hyuk- Jae’s words at the meeting reminded him that the key is a’delegation of authority’.

In many previous indoor variety shows, or pseudo-outdoor variety shows, the PD, the writer, and the segment group have the decision-making power, not the MC and the cast. The script, the script, and the role positioning all depend on the acting skills of the cast members. The same is true for the funny. The first time I saw it, it was fine, but later I felt a little fake.

Then “Unreasonable Challenge” is also walking on such an old road. Although the venue is moved from indoor to outdoor, it has the title of outdoor truly in person variety show, but it still holds The performance of variety show routines more than 20 years ago, the ratings and program effects are naturally much worse, and the audience does not like it, it seems a bit as it should be by rights.

Jung Hyuk-jae’s previous remarks reminded Kim Tae-ho. He also had a term in his mind, that is, the outdoor variety show truly in person, just like Jung just now. As Hyuk-jae said, in the truly in person show, scripts and scripts are no longer so important. What is more important is the host’s on-site response, post-editing and the choice of challenge targets.

For example, in the later “Infinite Challenge”, there is a special feature of Hendon Come To Play, Chuseok Yoo Jae-seok and the others raided Hyeong-don’s home to give surprises, and ended the filming when they were going to cook for him. But unexpectedly because of the dirty, messy, and rundown environment of Hyeong-don’s house, he helped him clean up the house for a day.

Kimchi special. During the recording of member flooding kimchi, everyone’s kimchi was flooded in a mess because they were always giving kimchi to others. As a result, the kimchi was flooded a week later, and the program group actually gave them the kimchi to eat…

Although it was the host who was deceived, it was the audience friends who were watching in front of the TV who laughed out loud. The host and the program group were placed in opposite positions for the first time, adding an unusual highlight to the program.

Kim Tae-ho did not stay here for a long time. After the break, the internal meeting of the “Unreasonable Challenge” program group continued, and Jung Hyuk-jae didn’t have much more in the next meeting. The reason for the outstanding performance is naturally that he is unwilling to do too much by himself. After all, he does not belong to the variety show department, and doing too well is actually a face-slap in another sense for them.

……………………………………….. .

“Jae-seok -hyeong, are you doing anything today?” After more than an hour, the meeting was finally over. Jung Hyuk-jae stretched out and walked beside him. Asked Yoo Jae-seok.

“What’s wrong?” Yoo Jae-seok asked strangely.

“I have some suggestions for the program I want to tell you.” Jung Hyuk-jae said directly.

When I heard Jung Hyuk-jae’s words, Yoo Jae-seok was a little confused at first, but he quickly reacted. No wonder he suddenly became extraordinarily silent during the meeting. It turned out to be Worried about this.

“I’ll be fine in the afternoon. How about we go to the cafe downstairs and have a chat by the way?” Yoo Jae-seok thought about his itinerary, and then faced Jung Hyuk -jae said.

“Yes!” Jung Hyuk-jae promised, and the two of them were walking side by side thinking about the elevator, chatting and talking along the way.

“Jae-seok -hyeong? Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi?”

As he walked to the elevator entrance, Jung Hyuk-jae suddenly heard someone yelling from behind him Name, he turned his head and glanced behind him, Kim Tae-ho, whom he had just met, trot over towards him, as if there was something particularly urgent.

“Kim Tae-ho -ssi, what’s the matter with you?” Looking at Kim Tae-ho standing in front of him, Jung Hyuk-jae opened the mouth with some doubts and said.

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, do you have time in the afternoon, I would like to invite you to sit down!” Facing Jung Hyuk-jae, although there is Yoo Jae-seok beside him, But Kim Tae-ho still opened his mouth and directly stated his purpose.

Kim Tae-ho has long seen that in the second half of the meeting, Jung Hyuk-jae seems to be invisible. He can’t compare with the unusually active person in the first half, although he has proposed himself for the program. Kim Tae-ho has some reasonable opinions and suggestions, but in his heart, Kim Tae-ho vaguely feels that he still has something to say!

Because of this, Kim Tae-ho couldn’t wait to catch up with Jung Hyuk-jae after the meeting, and wanted to ask him some questions about the program.

“Afternoon?” Jung Hyuk-jae hesitated.

At this time, Yoo Jae-seok on the side said directly, “As soon as we are ready, we will go downstairs and go to the cafe in the counter to sit. Taeho-ssi If you have time, you might as well take it together. Go?”

“Can you?” Hearing Yoo Jae-seok’s words, Kim Tae-ho felt it was a surprise in his heart.

“Of course!” Jung Hyuk-jae who was waiting aside said, Yoo Jae-seok has nodded and agreed.

The cafe of MBCTV Station is not located on the first floor like SBSTV Station, but on the second floor. Just looking at the appearance, the cafe here is much better than SBSTV Station, at least The atmosphere and compelling style are there.

It’s almost noon. There are not many people in the cafe. Most of them are in groups of two to take a break and chat by the way. Of course there are also Jung Hyuk-jae. Like the three, they came to the cafe to talk about work.

“Today I have a treat, Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, what would you like to drink?” The three of them sat down in the cafe, and Kim Tae-ho took the lead in asking.

“American coffee is good!”

After hearing Jung Hyuk-jae’s answer, Kim Tae-ho turned his eyes to Yoo Jae-seok who was aside, “Jae-seok -hyeong, what do you drink?”

“I’ll be fine!”

Because there are not many people who come here to sit here at the moment, so in Kim Tae-ho After the three people reported their coffee, the waiter walked over with coffee within a few minutes, put the three people’s coffee on the table, and got up and left.

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, you were on SBS’s “Love Letter” before. Even now, its ratings are still good. Fortunately, Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi is your focus On TV series and movies, otherwise, ordinary PDs like us are not easy to do!”

Topic at first, Kim Tae-ho praised Jung Hyuk-jae’s previous “Love Letter” Then, the conversation seemed a lot more interesting, and I silently took a picture of Jung Hyuk-jae’s flattery.

“Where, where! After I worked on the “Love Letter” column for a few issues, more of the work was given to other PDs, so I can’t say that this is all due to me! “Jung Hyuk-jae said modestly.

“If it is not Jung Hyuk-jae-ssi’s originality, then “Love Letter” is basically impossible to have the current results.” Kim Tae-ho insisted.

The three of them sat together, the development of the topic was a bit slow, chatting, talking, and complimenting each other by the way, the atmosphere seemed particularly harmonious.

Maybe the atmosphere is a bit too harmonious. Kim Tae-ho then asked: “Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, I don’t know what else you have about “Unreasonable Challenge” Suggestions or comments?”

“Me?” Jung Hyuk-jae looked a little surprised when he heard Kim Tae-ho’s words. He was a little not quite clear. How did he’fancy’ himself?
