Chapter 1314 The strength of "Running Man"
Speaking of this, director Zhao Xiaozhen looked at the lonely Lee Seung-ki and said disdainfully: "Although Lee Seung-ki seems to be very good now. He can support the entire "Strength Heart" alone. In fact, Lee Seung-ki, the staff member of the "Strength Heart" program team, has long been a little dissatisfied. It's just that for his own job and the requirements of the Art Department, he cooperated with Lee Seung-ki. Haven't you noticed that Lee Seung-ki, who is alone, has not changed on the surface compared to Lee Seung-ki and Kang Ho-dong's period, but in fact, he is obviously inferior to before in terms of content and fun?"
"In short, Lee Seung-ki's position as the host of "Strength Heart" can't be kept. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be replaced after the Spring Festival. If the Spring Festival was not coming soon, the Arts and Energy Department probably was worried that "Strength Heart" would have an accident during the Spring Festival and affect the program, otherwise Lee Seung-ki's position as MC would have been cancelled long ago."
After hearing what director Zhao Xiaozhen said, no one said anything, but just agreed and nodded.
Kim Yu-fan, who has been quiet, only realized in Zhao Xiaozhen's words that there was something else in it, and something that he didn't know.
No wonder, no wonder Lee Seung-ki was good at hosting "Strengthening Heart", but he suddenly became Shin Dong-yeol and Lee Dong-wook. It turns out that behind this is the shadow of Lee Kyung-kui, a senior in the art circle.
It's no wonder, no wonder after Li Shengli left the MC position of "Strength Heart" and has basically not been on SBS TV's variety show in several years.
It’s not that Lee Seung-ki is very popular and has a good image. She usually sings and shoots TV series, and looks very busy, but she can’t invite Lee Seung-ki to the variety show.
Obviously not. On the contrary, as the influence of variety shows becomes greater and more popular, more and more artists also regard variety shows, especially ace variety shows, as the best publicity platform.
In this case, as long as it is an invitation to a trump variety show, unless there is really no schedule, no artist will refuse it.
After Lee Seung-ki left "Strength Heart", he only appeared on SBS TV for eight variety shows in the next five years, and among them "RunningMan" has five.
Not only SBS TV stations, but also KBS TV stations. In five years, KBS1 and KBS2 have only appeared on variety shows eleven times, and MBC TV has only been pitiful three times in five years.
In addition to the three major TV stations, there are also pitiful fewer variety shows on other TV stations. MNET six times, TVN twice, and JTBC once.
After counting it, after leaving the hosting position of "Strengthening Heart", Lee Seung-ki spent only 31 times on variety shows in South Korea in the next five years.
With Lee Seung-ki's popularity and influence, he has only appeared on variety shows 31 times in five years, which is indeed a very, very low number.
According to Korean artists, they try every means to participate in popular variety shows. Under normal circumstances, a popular artist who is on variety shows fifty times a year is basically normal. This is not to interfere with the normal work of this artist.
Lee Seung-ki only had pitiful 31 times in five years. It is obviously unreasonable to say that Lee Seung-ki is busy posting records and filming TV series. Many artists who are not as popular as Lee Seung-ki also post records and filming TV series, but they are not like Lee Seung-ki. They only appeared on variety shows 31 times in five years.
The result of all this is because Lee Seung-ki did too much in the tax evasion of Kang Ho-dong, which has caused dissatisfaction among many variety show artists. When selecting guests in the future, everyone will make a point to eliminate Lee Seung-ki.
Similarly, there is also a senior in the art circle, Li Jingkui, who uses his connections to ban and suppress Li Shengji, which makes Li Shengji appear on variety shows less and less.
In general, after Lee Seung-ki left "Strength Heart", Lee Seung-ki appeared on variety shows significantly less often. In terms of the so-called publicity level of variety shows, Lee Seung-ki reached the lowest point.
At least before, people could often see Lee Seung-ki on variety shows, knowing that Lee Seung-ki is like this, which makes Lee Seung-ki promote the promotional effect. After "Strengthening the Heart", it seems that people rarely see Lee Seung-ki on variety shows because Lee Seung-ki is almost disgusted and rejected by the entire variety show circle.
"It's not just that the home position of "Strength Heart" will be replaced, but because of Kang Ho-dong, Lee Seung-ki's reaction has indeed offended almost all variety shows." Director Zhao Hyo-jin looked at Kim Yu-fan, Kim Jong Kook, Song Ji Hyo, Gary and Lee Kwang-soo who were unreasonable, and couldn't help but explain with a smile: "Variety artists are the lowest-ranking artists in the Korean entertainment industry. There is no doubt that even if the influence of variety shows is getting bigger and bigger and higher, it cannot change the low status of variety shows."
Chi Shizhen: "It is precisely because of the low status of variety shows, that in general, all variety shows are very sensitive. For life, everyone has to sacrifice themselves in the show, or even get hurt. But at the same time, almost all variety shows will tell themselves that they are just for life, but they will never give up their bottom line and dignity. So under the camera, all variety shows are very sensitive. This time, the Kang Ho-dong tax evasion incident, Lee Seung-ki's reaction caused the anger and strong dissatisfaction of sensitive variety shows. You can imagine what would happen when Lee Seung-ki is on any variety show, basically all variety shows do not cooperate."
Before everyone could speak, director Zhao Xiaozhen laughed and said, "I'm still on the show. I guess the show hasn't started yet. When the variety show people know that there is Lee Seung-ki, they will probably complain and be dissatisfied, and even ask the program team not to invite Lee Seung-ki as the guest of the show, otherwise they will not cooperate. In this overall situation, the program team has to consider the emotions of variety show people. Although they almost always invite guests when watching variety shows, they are all variety shows, but after all, the basics and funny plots of variety shows and self-sacrifice are all variety shows. At least the invited guests rarely do these things. When these variety shows are angry and dissatisfied with a certain guest and are clearly not cooperating, the program team must also consider the emotions of variety shows. At that time, Li Seung-ki probably has no chance to go on variety shows."
Yoo Jae-suk: "There is no special reason, and it is not targeted by anyone. It's just that for most variety shows, the status is the lowest in the entertainment industry, but the price paid is relatively the largest. So seeing actors and singers being high, whether in popularity, image, income and status, and influence, are higher than variety shows, this also makes variety shows very sensitive, and even a little jealous, envious and hated. Lee Seung-ki was not kind to Brother Hu Dong, and Lee Seung-ki is a singer and actor, which will cause sensitive variety shows. In that case, haha, I won't say it anymore, you should be able to imagine it yourself."
Director Zhao Xiaozhen, plus the words of two real variety show artists, Ji Se-jin and Yoo Jae-suk, immediately made Kim Yu-fan and others understand what all variety show people would have towards Lee Seung-ki after this incident.
What's more, there is also the existence of Li Jingkui, a senior in the variety show industry. With the connections and relationships of Li Jingkui, Li Shengji really has no hope or a starting point to develop in the Korean variety show field in the future.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Lee Seung-ki next to them, and their eyes showed a gloating. Who told you to do so too much in Kang Ho-dong's work? If you lose the resources and opportunities in variety shows, you will destined to be a huge impact on Lee Seung-ki's future popularity and influence, including development momentum.
But who can blame this result? After all, Lee Seung-ki is self-inflicted. He really thinks that the tax evasion incident can completely destroy Jiang Hudong. Not to mention that the matter finally clarified, Jiang Hudong did not evade taxes. Even if he really evaded taxes, with the existence of Jiang Hudong's teacher, Lee Kyung-kui, and Jiang Hudong's connections and relationships in the variety show circle over the years, it is not you, Lee Seung-ki, who can raise his image by stepping on Jiang Hudong's head.
"Okay, everyone is watched. Anyway, that's all. You just need to know, don't say it out. At that time, senior Lee Kyung-kui will take the lead in dealing with Lee Seung-ki, so no matter what happened in our "RunningMan". This year is a year when our "RunningMan" has risen strongly, and we have achieved great results in all aspects. To be honest, I was really embarrassed about the SBS Acts Awards before. I didn't want to participate, but I had to participate. However, this time, the good results of "RunningMan" made me look forward to participating in the 5th SBS Acts Awards for the first time."
Speaking of this, director Zhao Xiaozhen couldn't help laughing: "Although I don't know what the final result is, the popularity and influence of "RunningMan", including the success of ratings, are there. I believe that if nothing unexpected happens, this time at the SBS Performance Awards, our "RunningMan" will definitely have a great harvest."
"Haha, that's for sure!" Director Zhao Xiaozhen's words once again shifted everyone's attention from Lee Seung-ki to this SBS Performance Awards. Thinking about the achievements of "RunningMan" this year, everyone is full of confidence that this time "RunningMan" has achieved a great harvest in the SBS Performance Awards.
If "RunningMan" used to be a supporting role that accompanied other shows to play soy sauce, then this year, "RunningMan" is undoubtedly the biggest and most popular protagonist, which is not comparable to the current "StarKing".
As everyone has talked about before, as more and more people enter, the crew of "RunningMan" naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone is not stupid, of course, knowing that with the ratings of "RunningMan" this year, tonight's SBS Performance Awards, it is obvious that "RunningMan" will not return empty-handed, and it is extremely likely that it will even become the biggest winner.
As time goes by, the fifth SBS Performance Awards officially begin. Since it is an Performance Award, the protagonist must be a variety show and variety show artist. At this moment, even singers and actors are still small supporting roles in the Performance Awards, specifically to set off the existence of variety show artists.
The host is also a funny artist, so the atmosphere has always been very warm. "RunningMan" is the biggest popular program this year, so before the show officially started, "RunningMan" was of course also ridiculed by the host.
Fortunately, everyone is a variety showman with good psychological qualities and is used to jokes. So when faced with jokes that are obviously more targeted and sharper than other singers or actors, variety showman jokes are more targeted and sharp, everyone just smiles and doesn't really take them to heart.
Especially the crew members of the "RunningMan", whether they are director Yoo Jae-suk or Jo Hyo-jin, as the main objects of being teased, their faces were full of sincere smiles and they didn't mind the host's teasing at all.
If this were a year ago, when Director Zhao Xiaozhen was teasing the host why "RunningMan" was still like this, and the ratings of the prime time were not very good. Is it a joke that "RunningMan" is not good? Can Director Zhao Xiaozhen still laugh?
Similarly, Yoo Jae-suk was teased a year ago, why he couldn't beat Kang Ho-dong on SBS TV and why he achieved good results on KBS and MBC programs. But the effect was very average in the variety shows on SBS. Didn't he work hard to do it? I wonder if Yoo Jae-suk can still laugh.
Anyway, that's the saying. "RunningMan" has achieved very good results this year, so no matter how the hosts on the stage joke, no one cares, you can do it anyway. Anyway, the results of "RunningMan" are there and no one can erase them. If you like to say it, just say it, just make it entertaining, and you won't mind it.
As everyone speculated, with the official start of the fifth SBS Performance Awards, the popular "RunningMan" has become the well-deserved biggest winner.
First of all, Kim Yu-fan undoubtedly won the Variety Show Newcomer Award, which is beyond doubt. With Kim Yu-fan's popularity and influence, including his status in the entertainment industry and even his transcendent position in the variety show field, Kim Yu-fan won the Variety Show Newcomer Award at the 5th SBS Performing Arts Award. There is no problem with this.
Basically, Kim Yu-hwan won this award, which is basically the least suspenseless award at the 5th SBS Performance Awards. After all, if Kim Yu-hwan doesn’t have the qualification to win this award, then others will be even less qualified and do not have the courage to win this variety show newcomer award.
To put it bluntly, if SBS TV does not give this award to Kim Yu-fan, it is really unreasonable. After all, except Kim Yu-fan, no one is more qualified to win this award than Kim Yu-fan.
Of course, awards like the Variety Show Newcomer Award are clearly awards for cake sharing. As long as the ratings of the variety show you are on are not bad, and your performance in the show is not bad enough, you can basically win this award.
Therefore, Kim Yu-fan didn't think there was anything special about the variety show newcomer awards. After all, if you really want to talk about awards, Kim Yu-fan really has no shortage of awards. Not to mention anything else, just the awards for the song programs on several major TV stations, Kim Yu-fan's home has a large room, which is specially arranged with various awards since Kim Yu-fan's debut.
Compared with the variety show newcomer award, among the various awards of the performing arts award, there are only a few important awards: the audience selection popularity award, the best teamwork award, the talk show department’s best award, the variety show department’s best award, the best program award, the audience selection best program award and the most important award.
These programs are the awards that are truly popular and pursued by the Arts Awards. As for other awards, they are basically in the form of cake sharing. Whoever gets it will not be too happy, and whoever gets it will not be too sad.
Of course, there are also some awards that appear occasionally, which are also more important, such as the merit award. However, such awards are basically a kind of respect and affirmation of the older generation of variety artists. Otherwise, it is because of something, which has good educational significance to the country and something. Therefore, to a certain extent, this award is the most hope for all variety artists to receive, because receiving this award truly represents honor, and the latter has the attitude and shadow of the government.
The awards in the subsequent awards are almost in the form of cake splitting. Basically, as long as the ratings are not very bad, or even the ratings are not related. If there are one or two powerful seniors in the program, they will basically receive some awards.
However, some awards are basically inaccessible because there are data and everyone is a discerning person, so they can't even make a falsification.
For example, after Kim Yu-hwan won the variety show newcomer award, he then won the most popular award chosen by the audience. This is beyond doubt. As long as Kim Yu-hwan is there, with the millions of fans behind Kim Yu-hwan, basically no one can compete with Kim Yu-hwan in this award.
If you really count it, it is probably only Yoo Jae-suk who is qualified to compete with Kim Yu-fan for this award. Unfortunately, Yoo Jae-suk is so awesome that he basically competes directly for the grand prize when participating in the grand prize. Because he has certainly lost the qualification to compete for the most popular awards for the general audience.
In fact, this award originally belonged to Lee Seung-ki of "Strong Heart". After all, there was no Kim Yu-fan. With Lee Seung-ki's popularity and the ratings and influence of "Strong Heart", it is normal for Lee Seung-ki to win this award.
Unfortunately, with Kim Yu-fan's appearance this time, Lee Seung-ki didn't have the chance to win this award.
