Section 1068 Go to the ice rink
With the help of Lee Kyung-won and a group of girls from Girls' Generation, Kim Yuna got a lot of advice. Don't mention it first, after getting so many suggestions, Kim Yuna has a lot of confidence in her heart, and the pressure caused by worry has also decreased a lot.
It's a good start, and the next step is to strike while the iron is hot. In order to make the show better and to cooperate more tacitly, when discussing with SBS, Kim Yuna pulled Lee Kyung-won with her.
The preparatory work cannot be completed in a while, so Li Jingyuan must spare some time. In other words, he will not be able to be by Girls' Generation's side for the next period of time.
Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't accompany you. This group of girls in Girls' Generation has been debuting for several years and has a very good work experience. Now it has been more than two months since they entered Japan, and they have almost adapted to the way of working in Japan, even if Li Jingyuan is not by their side, there will be no problems.
Besides, Li Jingyuan is not here, and there are not the staff of S.m Japan, they are also professionals, and with the assistance of these people, Girls' Generation will definitely not run into trouble. In the final analysis, if Li Jingyuan is worried, it is completely unnecessary.
Moreover, in the next period of time, even if Li Jingyuan accompanies them, it will not play a role. After two months, Girls' Generation's campaign and publicity work in Japan has almost been carried out, and it is time to reduce the itinerary and prepare for the concert.
Be able to make variety show planning. But they are not good at preparing for concerts, even if Li Jingyuan is by the side of Girls' Generation, he can't help them much with their next plans. Instead of watching from the sidelines, it is better to step out and listen to the girls to help Kim Yuna.
I accompanied Kim Yuna to a few meetings with the directors of the SBS variety show department, PDs, and writers, and after several discussions, everyone made a plan to select guests.
In the original history, all the guests who participated in the show were directly selected. SBS sent out invitations, but artists refused or agreed. That's the whole process.
Although concise, it is a little too boring, and there is no guarantee of the level of the guests. As a result, after the program began to be recorded, there was a huge imbalance in the skill level of the various pairs.
Now, at Li Jingyuan's suggestion, there is one more step. In the words of Li Jingyuan. This is called 'competitive employment'.
Invite the artists first, and then gather all the artists who are willing to come to the show and try it out on the ice. Although it is not necessary to select guests according to their results, the performance of the artists on the ice can also be used as a reference to some extent, so that SBS can choose a more suitable candidate to participate in this show.
In addition to being able to select more suitable candidates, Li Jingyuan's proposal also has another purpose. That's to make the noise bigger.
Strictly speaking, this is a gathering. It's similar to the nature of the 'Idol Games' that MBC often hosts, but the venue is changed to the ice, which can be regarded as a 'Winter Games'.
Every 'Idol Games' will attract the attention of a lot of viewers, and the ratings will be very good. In the same way, this time it will definitely not be bad, Li Jingyuan just wants to attract the attention of more audiences at the first time through this 'Winter Games'.
After watching the selection for the 'Winter Games', maybe not everyone will continue to pay attention to the official knockout rounds, but it is certain that the number of viewers who will continue to follow the show will definitely be larger than in the original history.
If you want to attract audiences from other programs, the quality of the program must be better than other programs. If you don't want to lose viewers, then the quality of the program can't be worse than other programs. The minimum requirement for the former is 'better', the minimum requirement for the latter is 'flat', and in terms of difficulty, the latter is easier.
Looking at it from another angle, one can draw a conclusion. With the 'Winter Games' to start the audience's attention, even if the next few episodes of the show are exactly the same as in history, the ratings will definitely be higher than in the original history.
Even if you don't make changes, you will get better ratings, not to mention the aftermath. In response to the weaknesses and loopholes in the original version, Li Jingyuan put forward so many opinions, and the quality of the show will definitely be better.
I am very sure in my heart, and Li Jingyuan's mood will naturally be very good. His optimistic attitude also affected Kim Yuna and the staff of the SBS variety show department, and everyone was very confident and was nervous and busy making preparations.
Of all the preparations, the most troublesome is the preparation of the venue. According to SBS's idea, they were going to make an ice rink in the studio to be used as a filming location for the show.
That's exactly what history has done.
I have to say that this method is really a bit too exciting. Is the ice rink that easy to make? Sprinkle water, freeze on, and you're done?
Of course not. It is true that skating is possible on the frozen lake in winter, but those who can skate on the lake are just having fun at best. It is impossible for any professional athlete to train on a frozen lake.
Naturally occurring ice surfaces do not meet the requirements of professional sports. Moreover, ice hockey, speed skating, and figure skating have different requirements for the ice surface, and it is not so simple to make a professional ice rink suitable for figure skating, and many of the details are very particular.
Ice is not easy to make, and it is just as expensive to maintain. SBS chose a huge studio that didn't have the refrigeration facilities in the Ice Museum, which would have been a huge expense to buy or rent.
This is what SBS did in the history of Zhilu Dao, so Li Jingyuan didn't feel strange after hearing their thoughts. However, Kim Yuna's reaction was different. While she was surprised, she felt that it was a waste.
Historically, when Kim Yuna saw the ice rink made by SBS. Just expressed surprise. So why does she feel different at this time?
The reason is simple, the conditions are different. Historically, Kim Yuna didn't get help from Lee Kyung-won, and when she was training abroad, she was fine, but when she was training in South Korea, there was no suitable place at all.
There is no special place to train, so in desperation, Kim Yuna can only contact Lotte Park or other entertainment venues. Rent their ice rink there when there are no tourists and barely train.
There is no suitable place in the whole of Korea, so SBS's investment in the construction of an ice rink is a smooth chapter, not a waste. Rather, it has to be done.
But now? The situation is completely different. After Lee Kyung-won invested, a professional ice training center has been built in Gyeonggi Province, and the venue is ready-made, as long as you rent it. After comparing the overhead. Of course, Kim Yuna will feel that it is a bit wasteful.
Some people may say it. Kim Yuna thinks it's a waste, so why would the SBS people come up with such a seemingly wasteful proposal? It's not that there is no accounting in SBS, don't they know that this plan is very nonsense?
In fact, it's a coincidence of inconsistency. Of course, SBS is not unaware that South Korea already has a professional ice rink, but what they don't know is that the investor of this ice training center is Li Jingyuan, who is very familiar.
There is not only one ice surface in the ice training center, but there is only one stadium that can accommodate filming equipment and a large number of spectators.
Long after the construction of the ice training center. Li Jingyuan once told the people who manage the center that other ice rinks can be used to generate income. But this most professional ice arena can only be used for training athletes.
Lee Kyung-won is kind-hearted, just to keep outside factors from disturbing Kim Yuna and other athletes' training. But it was his order that made SBS scratch his head. The steward of the ice training center is an extremely stubborn uncle, and he seriously implements Li Jingyuan's order, no matter how much SBS asks and asks, he does not nod and agree to let SBS use the ice rink that can be used for filming.
Well, SBS had actually asked who everyone at the ice training center was, and wanted to talk to his boss directly, bypassing the stubborn steward.
If you had asked Kim Yuna directly, you would have gotten the answer a long time ago. Coincidentally, SBS people habitually believe that this ice training center was built by the state or some big consortium, and Kim Yuna, as an athlete, will definitely not have access to the characters above, and she does not know the joints very well. So they didn't ask Kim Yuna directly, but wanted to go up the upper route to inquire about the news.
didn't want netizens to talk about it and increase psychological pressure on Kim Yuna, so Lee Kyung-won didn't come forward at all when he invested, and there was not much news in various media. And the energy of the Li family is there, and it will not work at all to investigate from above. SBS had a good idea, but it still didn't get the results they were looking for.
If you can't find out, you can only negotiate with the steward again, and the result is obvious, without Li Jingyuan's consent, how can the steward of the ice training center agree to rent the venue.
The only venue suitable for filming could not be discussed, and the other venues were too small to place equipment to organize the audience, so SBS had to come up with the most stupid way - to pay for the construction of a suitable venue for filming.
Just like unlocking Luban's lock, as long as you find a key point, you can quickly solve the problem.
When Kim Yuna saw SBS's plan, she just asked, 'Why don't you rent a ready-made venue?' to open up the topic. After a few words back and forth, the SBS people found a solution to the problem while being very aggrieved.
got the news from Kim Yuna that 'Lee Kyung-won is an investor', SBS immediately contacted Lee Kyung-won, and the rest of the matter needless to say, a phone call, the matter of renting the venue was decided.
The venue is set, the shooting plan is ready, and the next step is to notify the artists who will be tested. There are still a few days left before the official start of filming, so giving the artists notice in advance can not only allow the artists to adjust their schedules, but also allow them to familiarize themselves with the venue in advance.
There are also many people who have been invited to S.m. TVXQ's Yoonho and Changmin, Fx's Crystal and Shirley, Shinee's Minho and Taemin, SJ's Choi Si-won and Prodigy, and in addition to Girls' Generation, members of several groups were invited. By the way, and IU, the girl was also invited. However, in Li Jingyuan's opinion, even if this girl participates in the 'Winter Games', she is only a soy sauce maker at most.
Due to the itinerary, these people in S.m could not adapt to the venue on the same day. TVXQ and SJ didn't need to take care of them, so Li Jingyuan chose the day when the juniors had no itinerary and accompanied them to adapt to the venue.
With Li Jingyuan with him, he naturally doesn't need an agent to follow. Besides, today is to adapt to the venue, and it is not an official shooting. Even if it is a private matter, there is no need for the agent to follow.
Without an agent to follow, it was another trip to the skating rink. After hearing the news the night before, the five little ones were already getting excited. For them. Isn't that like going to a playground?
Minho 91 years. Taemin and IU are 93 years old, and Little Crystal and Shirley are the youngest 94 years old. Led by the eldest brother Minhao in 91, these five people came to the door of Li Jingyuan's villa early in the morning.
“OPPA~~!!” As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, IU rang the doorbell and shouted into the interlocutory. Thinking that she could have a good time, this girl's mood is extremely good, and her actions are much more lively than when she participated in the show, and she looks like an ordinary high school girl.
A couple of little ones came early. But it's not too exaggerated to arrive early. Li Jingyuan had actually gotten up at this time, but now he was training in the gym with headphones. So I couldn't hear the doorbell.
I shouted a few times here, but there was no response, and the few people waiting outside the courtyard were a little anxious. It doesn't matter for a while, after a long time, it will definitely be discovered by passers-by, these people are all popular idols, and if they are entangled, it will be troublesome.
"Brother Jing Yuan won't not get up, right?" As the temporary eldest brother, Minhao has of course become the one who takes the idea, so he is also the most anxious, and shouted a few more times at the doorbell, but there is still no response, so he can't help asking.
"No, OPPA never sleeps so late, he's much more diligent than Minhao OPPA." Following the sisters of Girls' Generation, the three girls had more contact with Li Jingyuan, and after listening to Minhao's words, Shirley immediately shook her head and said something that made Minhao a little embarrassed.
"I usually wake up very early to ......." Not wanting to be despised like this, Minhao still muttered, as if he wanted to protest.
As he spoke, he digressed, and I didn't know that I had been waiting at the door for almost five minutes. After these five minutes, some students have gradually noticed the situation here.
After signing and taking photos of several students who had the courage to come forward, they saw that the number of passers-by gradually increased, and several people became more and more anxious. But in this situation of being stared at, they can't shout at the doorbell in disregard of the image as they did just now.
Li Jingyuan was wearing headphones, so he couldn't hear the doorbell, and naturally he couldn't hear the phone. After a few phone calls and no one answered, Xiao Jing gradually became a little irritable.
"Why don't you give Sister Sika a call? Ask her if there's a way? Seeing that Little Crystal looked a little impatient, Shirley poked her waist and made a small suggestion.
"Hey~~! That's right~~! Hearing Shirley mention Jessica, Little Crystal's eyes lit up, and her little hand clapped and shouted suddenly.
"It's scary~! What happened to you? Shocked. Little Crystal's movements were very big, startling Shirley and IU around her, patting her chest, and Shirley couldn't help but count down Little Crystal.
"Be quiet, don't you see that there are so many people around? Do you want to be taken a shameful photo? Minhao also reminded.
"Hehe, I forgot, my sister gave me the key to OPPA here before she left Korea." Sticking out his tongue and making a cute grimace, Xiao Jing took out his small backpack and took it out: "Look, I found it~!" ”
Seeing Xiao Jing's expression of offering treasures, several people immediately felt angry and funny. The angry thing is that this girl is too unremembered, she didn't take out the key early, and made such a scene of being watched now, and the funny thing is because of the expression on this girl's face, Xiao Jing is usually very handsome, and it is rare to see an apologetic expression to please her.
After taking the key and opening the gate of the courtyard and the door of the villa, several people finally entered the house and escaped the sight of the onlookers.
Like her sisters in Girls' Generation, Little Crystal didn't bother to wear slippers, so she rushed to the living room barefoot after taking off her shoes. Being watched by the onlookers just now made her a little annoyed, so this girl stood in the living room and shouted: "OPPA~~!! Stinky brother-in-law ~~~! Come out quickly~~! ”
Still no answer. However, at this time, not only Xiao Jingjing, but everyone else also knew the fact that Li Jingyuan did not go out. Not to mention the movement from the gym, there was a burst of aroma wafting from the kitchen, it turned out that Li Jingyuan had already set up a pot of soup and slowly stewed it on the water before he started training, and it was almost stewed at this time.
"It's so fragrant~, why don't we taste it first?" As a good friend of Park Ji-yeon, IU was also infected as a foodie, and after smelling the smell, he immediately thought carefully. (To be continued.) )
