Chapter 44: Liu Zai Shi persuades Jin Zhong Guo

  Yoon Eun-hye politely declined Liu Zai Sheng's invitation to dinner due to her schedule, and left with her manager.

  Due to Xiao Huhu's current dietary structure, the proportion of porridge is getting larger and larger. Therefore, Li Shenglin, Liu Zaishi, and Jin Zhongguo naturally chose a good Tianchao restaurant. Li Shenglin even went to the back kitchen to explain the precautions for cooking porridge. Being a father isn't easy either...

  "Zhong Guo, this time singing the congratulatory song is like a prelude to your comeback, but have you thought about what you'll do after your comeback?" Liu Zai Shi was still very concerned about his younger brother.

  Kim Jong Kook drank a cup of wine with a gloomy face. Although he exercises every day and eats reasonably, preparing to live until the age of 200, that's his strict requirement for himself. If it's socializing time, he will definitely do what he needs to eat and drink.

  Because everyone knows Kim Jong Kook's preferences, even if he eats a little less and drinks a little less, it will still be considered giving himself a lot of face!

  "To be honest, bro, I really don't know, it's too confusing. The music scene is not the same as before, now it's all about young idols, it's not my time to hold three crowns anymore. It's only been two years, but the change is too big, I really feel like I'm having a hard time adapting!"

  Military service is not a trivial matter, Li Shenglin thought to himself. Not just for the sake of competing with Li Shengji and avoiding military service, but also for his own future development in the entertainment industry, he needs to think of ways to get out of it; otherwise, it would be too much of a hindrance.

  And it's said that serving in the army will also lead to being bullied, sigh, what a hassle...

  "Zhongguo, you only saw the changes in the music scene, but you paid too little attention to the changes in the variety show scene. Now, variety shows are getting better and better, and their status is getting higher and higher. I dare say that within five years, the representative of Hallyu (Korean Wave) will no longer be Korean dramas and K-POP, at least not in Asia, but definitely variety shows!"

  Liu Zai Shi is absolutely confident in his own inference, and it's not just Liu Zai Shi, many people in this circle have seen this point, so the high-and-mighty actors and others have gradually merged into the variety show circle.

  Liu Zaishi believes that now they are lowering their status to participate in variety shows, and in the future those actors will definitely be actively seeking to participate in programs.

  "Look at Sheng Lin, although I don't know why he also wants to enter the entertainment industry, didn't he choose to debut with a variety show too? Although it may be a bit disadvantageous now, I dare to guarantee to Sheng Lin that in just one year, relying on his talent and this challenging program, he can make it to the quasi-top line!"

  Maybe it's because I'm too happy today, and the wine is a bit too much. After all, the dishes in Tianchao restaurant are not Korean clear liquor, but Tianchao white wine. It's also possible that getting married has given me a sense of responsibility as a man, and Liu Zai Shi rarely showed a domineering air.

  Li Shenglin didn't know whether Shi Ge was telling the truth or just drunk talk, but this brother had been in the entertainment industry for almost twenty years, even if he exaggerated, it wouldn't be too much. He lowered his head and said to Xiao Huhu, "Come on, Huhu, thank your uncle for me!"

  “XI~XI!”

  Liu Zai Shi smiled happily, "Our little Huhu is really clever! I'm so envious of you, having such a smart and obedient son!"

  "Haha, luck, luck!" Exams, how is this related to luck? Genes, genes, good or not...

  "So, Zhong Guo, I suggest you also take the variety show route, it's absolutely the best way to boost your popularity. Coincidentally, I have a new program on SBS that's about to air, and SBS is definitely going to make it a hit! To be honest, it's just starting now, so I can still pull you in, but if the show stabilizes, I won't have this kind of power!"

  This is quite idiomatic. At the beginning of the program, Liu Zhi's role was too big, so naturally he had more speaking power. Once it stabilizes, it will be the PD and writers' world...

  Is Kim Jong-kook moved? Not just moved, but also touched. Shi Ge treats him like his own younger brother!

  But Kim Jong Kook is still hesitant, after all, he is a singer of unparalleled glory. The honor he had back then was not small thanks to the variety show, but now he really can't wrap his head around regularly participating in one.

  To be honest, he doesn't think he's a very talented person either. Now that he's heard about the prospects of Shi Ge's program, he's really afraid of messing it up.

  To put it simply, Kim Jong Kook now has post-army service syndrome, a bit socially disconnected, and is worried about his future...

  Kim Jong-kook seemed a bit moved, and Yoo Jae-suk seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot. "Seunglin, although I only briefly mentioned it to you, but given your personality, shouldn't you have investigated it yourself?"

  Kim Jong Kook nodded, and when meeting someone for the first time, you naturally want to know what kind of person they are, whether they're worth befriending. Just look at how Lee Seung Jin helped that KARA member Han Seung Yeon, and you can tell he's also a man of his word, worthy of friendship. Otherwise, as an introverted person, there's no way he would have gotten along so well with Lee Seung Jin on their first meeting today!

  "So, you also know the title 'Entertainment Rookie', right? Even he knows about this show, think about how it is?" Liu Zaishi obviously changed the subject here...

  Li Shenglin was feeding the child porridge when he heard Shi Ge's words and was speechless. "What are you pulling me for? I know this show isn't what you said," "That's right, it's called 'Family Born', a great show!"

  Li Shenglin still knows what to say...

  That's why Kim Jong-kook is confused, otherwise he would have seen through Liu Zai-shi's tricks. "Can I really do it? Can I be good at variety shows?"

  It was the reason, Liu Zishi relaxed, "Nowadays, all the programs are outdoor programs. Your kind of strong and healthy person is actually in demand. Moreover, since it's a reality show, you just need to slightly polish your usual self and that's it."

  Other things are the writers' and PDs' concerns, and if you try to be funny like before with indoor programs, audiences won't buy it. Everyone is watching for something real!

  After hearing Shi Ge say that, Jin Zhongguo really wanted to participate. He had been insisting on exercising just for his own physical health, but he didn't expect it to become a stepping stone for variety shows. It's really like planting willows by the river and getting shade!

  "What about my singer identity?" Kim Jong Kook has already decided to participate, but is afraid of bringing a bad influence to the program...

  "So you don't pay enough attention to variety shows, among the regular guests, there are idols, actors, even a composer like Zhongsheng Ge, and most importantly, another one who is also a former top singer!"

  "Who is it?" Jin Zhongguo was very curious about who else would be taking the same path as himself!

  "Lee Hyori!"

  PS: APINK is a pure and innocent girl group, with a style similar to Girls' Generation when they first debuted. Unfortunately, their abilities are slightly lacking, the main vocalist is only Enji, and her looks are just average. NONONO is still okay, I also recommend it!
