Chapter 901: Casting

That night, Zhang Pingan did not choose to go back to his own home, but rested at his parents' home for a night, and after dinner, he chatted with his parents for a long time. They mainly talked about some career-related things, as well as some international news such as the problems in South Korea. Zhang Pingan's father and mother had the same opinion, asking Zhang Pingan not to go there recently.

Although Zhang Pingan was only doing some entertainment industry there, his parents were worried that Zhang Pingan would be attacked by others after he showed up. After all, there are so many dirty tricks in all walks of life. Zhang Pingan, a Chinese, has achieved such success in the Korean entertainment market, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among others. After all, South Korea is a country with many small minds.

So Zhang Pingan's parents felt that he didn't need to go there to get in the way during this period when the people were full of anger. As long as he didn't show up, the public's attention would not be so easily manipulated by those with ulterior motives to come to Zhang Pingan. After all, the Korean entertainment company was still operating without him, including the TV programs he produced, so Zhang Pingan didn't need to attract firepower at this most critical time.

Zhang Pingan certainly knew that it was not suitable for him to appear there during this period of time, which was the main reason why he returned to China to undertake the production of the program during this period of time.

The next morning, Zhang Pingan woke up and went to the restaurant downstairs. At this time, his parents had already gone to work, and he was the only one sitting in the restaurant eating breakfast. Breakfast was porridge cooked with black-bone chicken soup stewed yesterday, paired with steamed dumplings. Zhang Pingan ate breakfast while watching the entertainment dynamics in South Korea. Although he was not in South Korea, he still had to pay attention to the news there.

YG announced the news of the girl group, and BLACKPINK will also debut in South Korea soon. At this time, their company released some dance practice videos, and the expected debut time is August. Zhang Pingan smiled at the photo of "BLACKPINK" because he remembered that he met Lisa by chance near Hongdae, and Lisa had debuted in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Pingan smiled and said to himself: "I don't know what Yang Hyun Suk is thinking. After BLACKPINK debuted and quickly won the first place, why did he keep BLACKPINK mysterious?"

Zhang Pingan really didn't understand Yang Hyun Suk's intention. In fact, BLACKPINK was very successful in the early stage of its debut. Even after the song was released, it quickly topped the download charts, and also won the first No. 1 of their group's debut. The news also reported that they were the girl group that debuted the fastest to get No. 1!

With such a smooth debut case, if YG had given them a little push behind the scenes, they would have quickly dominated the screen. You know, many girl groups envy such an opportunity, but Yang Hyun Suk didn't do that. Instead, he rejected all other invitations except for the song stage. He always let BLACKPINK maintain a sense of mystery?

I don't know if Yang Hyun Suk knew that this group of people was a bit "crazy" and deliberately used this method to keep them noble, or what? This is what Zhang Pingan is most puzzled about. If you keep them mysterious, everyone will say "cowpie". But it was only after they finished their song promotions for several months that they remembered to let them appear on variety shows.

This wave of operations is incomprehensible to everyone.

At the beginning of their debut, when they were the most popular, they were not even allowed to do interviews. At that time, so many programs wanted to invite them to participate, but they all refused. They were not allowed to participate in variety shows until a few months after their debut. This is really strange.

.......

Zhang Pingan looked at the Korean entertainment news. Taeyeon's new album "WHY" quickly won the first place after the song was promoted. Moreover, this week's "M!CD" is very interesting. Taeyeon's two songs were on the list at the same time. One is the pre-release song, and the other is the main song "WHY" officially released this time. Among the three first-place candidates, Taeyeon occupied two positions alone. Fans joked, "Taeyeon is ruthless and actually challenged me?"

After eating breakfast, Zhang Pingan put down his chopsticks, took a screenshot of the picture posted by Korean netizens, and posted a congratulatory message on "Uncle Hei's" "INS" "Although I didn't watch "M!CD" yesterday, I still have to congratulate Taeyeon for winning the first place! '

This time Zhang Pingan did not choose to use his own account, but used the account of "Uncle Hei", a "wall-top fan". This is a speech after a long time. Uncle Hei has not updated the dynamics for a long time, so this speech quickly attracted the attention of fans in Korea.

"Wow, Uncle Hei, don't you care about the entertainment industry recently?" "Uncle Hei, YG is going to release a new girl group, did you know?" "Uncle Hei, why is there so many likes on one message?" "Uncle Hei, what do you think of the five-member Red Velvet?"

During his rare free time, Zhang Pingan took his phone and chatted with Korean netizens in the comment area.

Zhang Pingan responded to the netizens: "YG, the new girl group is very powerful! And as a new generation of girl group to replace '2NE1', the company will definitely invest a lot of resources in them, right? We can talk about the details after they debut on their first stage."

Zhang Pingan responded: "The five-member Red Velvet is very good, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. At present, I personally like it very much, Red Velvet! Waiting for Red Velvet to return!"

Then Zhang Pingan continued to reply: "It's not that I don't care about the entertainment industry recently, but I am busy grabbing tickets in China. I plan to follow 'IU' in China. From July to August, we will see you in China! Lee Ji-eun I think the concert is one of the most worth the ticket price, and I’m really looking forward to Taeyeon’s solo concert soon!”

After Zhang Ping'an responded to many netizens' questions using Uncle Hei's account on Instagram, Li Zhien quickly sent a message: "Are you really going to run around China with me?"

"Of course, the tickets are ready. I will come to Guangzhou in two days, your first show!" Of course, the tickets were purchased on the spot. Zhang Pingan didn't care whether Li Zhien's scalper was expensive or not. Even without buying a ticket, Zhang Pingan can enter.

Zhang Ping'an planned to take advantage of his rest time to spend time with Li Zhien. After all, the two hadn't seen each other for a while. Moreover, Zhang Ping'an would go to every Li Zhien's concert in China as long as he had time, because he really liked Li Zhien's singing.

"Hehe, I will be much happier when you are here. I will recommend delicious food to our team when the time comes. Do you really plan to listen to every show? After listening to so many shows, the songs will not change much, so you won't feel bored. ?"

"I'll never get tired of hearing this... Wait a minute, I have some work here." Zhang Ping'an put down the phone with the Korean number he was chatting with Li Zhien, because the WeChat account on the Chinese phone rang. As the chief producer of the program, Zhang Ping'an has been very busy during this period, and he needs to make decisions on all the problems encountered by the program.

The TV station learned that Zhang Pingan had returned to Shanghai, so the program team sent a tentative inquiry. Who should they find as the assistant host of the program? Currently, I have booked the host of their channel, Mr. He. The rest of the auxiliary hosts need to be decided by Zhang Pingan.

Zhang Ping'an thought for a while and replied: "There should not be too many assistant hosts, at most three. The backbone of the show is Teacher He. You guys will invite one more, and I will recommend one."

The program team knew that Zhang Pingan had many connections in South Korea. They were worried that Zhang Pingan would recommend a Korean who did not speak the language well, so they reminded: "Recently, TV stations are not allowed to invite Koreans."

"I know this. Don't worry, it must be from China. Oh, by the way, don't invite female hosts. Remember, all program hosts must be men, and it is best to have some basic cooking skills. In this way, when we invite female guests, There will no longer be a scene where two women just sit and chat and do nothing.”

"Okay, let's look around here."

After Zhang Ping'an communicated with the program team, he found the number of 'Wang Jack' in his Korean number and dialed: "Xiao Wang, where are you?"

Soon Xiao Wang answered the phone and said: "Brother, I'm in Seoul. I'm filming a variety show in Seoul, a Chinese variety show "Let's Fight"."

"Ah, does that mean you have two regular Chinese variety shows? (Hmm) Then send me Dahua's phone number."

"Brother, when are you going to film "Please Help the Refrigerator" hosted by Teacher He and I?"

Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "I'm not an artist shooting anything, and I mostly stay in hotels in China. Don't you know? Where can I find a refrigerator for you?"

"Oh, okay. I'll give you Dahua's phone number right away."

Soon Zhang Pingan received a call from Xiao Wang. Zhang Pingan directly called Dahua. After the call was connected, Dahua's voice appeared. Because Zhang Pingan's private number was a strange call to him, he said Saying: "Hello, who are you?"

Zhang Pingan said in Chinese: "Dahua, I am Zhang Pingan."

"Zhang Pingan? Who is it?"

Zhang Pingan was dumbfounded when he heard his answer: "It's Zhang Pingan who produced the programs "The King of Masked Singer" and "Three Meals a Day"."

"Ah~ PD Zhang, hello, hello!"

Zhang Pingan asked: "Do you have any travel plans recently?"

"I'm filming a variety show in China."

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "Oh? You and Jack Wang are both doing pretty well. Are there so many shows in China recently?"

Dahua smiled and said: "PD Zhang, do you have a program for me?"

Zhang Pingan asked: "Are you familiar with Teacher He?"

"It's familiar. The variety show I filmed in China was filmed with Teacher He."

Zhang Ping'an really didn't care much about variety shows in China, so he said: "Since you are familiar with it, I have produced a variety show with their station. It is the same model as "Three Meals at a Time". Can you come? ?”

Being familiar with Korean variety shows, of course he knew the ratings of "Three Meals a Day", and he immediately said: "Come on, of course I'm coming."
