Chapter 153 Our Cousin
Zheng Xiuheng's dry response made Cui Minxi's brain short-circuit for a moment. After reacting, he asked stupidly: "No way? I think it's great!"
It was unclear what Choi Min-hee was thinking, but Zheng Xiuheng said calmly, "At a time like this, you shouldn't laugh like an idiot. You should first pretend to be trying not to laugh, then ask in a frivolous way, 'Senior, do you need help?' Then, no matter how that big-faced senior answers, you should suddenly say, 'Sorry, senior, you're so funny, I can't help it,' and then laugh loudly. This is obviously much better than this sudden crazy giggle!"
Cui Minxi was really dumbfounded. He had paid a lot of attention to this competitor in the past few days and had some opinions of his own. He originally thought that he was a cold, unsociable, and quiet person, but he didn't expect...
Looking at the dumbfounded Cui Minxi, Zheng Xiuheng suddenly laughed and said, "Actually, I just wanted to tell you that your disguise is too bad, but it just happened to touch the sensitive spot of these people, and they are preconceivedly dissatisfied with you. In my eyes, your level is about the same as that of a child!"
"Hello, hey, hey, Zheng Xiuheng, although you are two years older than me, your teacher-like tone is so annoying. As for what you said, I don't agree at all. I'm not pretending. On the contrary, I should say that there is no disguise at all!" Cui Minxi finally came back to his senses. Zheng Xiuheng's words did surprise him, but that was all.
Zheng Xiuheng nodded in response to Cui Minxi's rebuttal, and replied in agreement: "That's right, your goal is to make everyone here hate you. If someone is willing to fight with you, it would be even better, but this kind of rebellious behavior is indeed like a child for a 22-year-old man!"
"Ha, what do you know? This is not called a child!"
"What is that called?" Zheng Xiuheng asked with interest. It was a real and pure interest. It was indeed interesting to occasionally see an atypical Korean like Choi Min-hee.
As for typical Koreans, they are servile to those older than them and bossy to those younger than them. Although this description is not 100% accurate, most typical Koreans are like this. Because the pathology of this country is similar to the relationship between seniors and juniors in a company. Unless the senior has done something really excessive and there is actual evidence, even if he calls you trash or incompetent in front of the whole company, you still need to respond to him with honorifics.
If it were the entertainment industry, it would be even more tragic. No matter who caused the trouble, no matter how the senior scolded you, if you endured it for a long time and finally couldn't help but fight back, it would become the fault of both parties. According to the usual behavior of Koreans, they would strongly resist to show their own justice and defend their "good name" of "a country of etiquette". They would feel like a defender of justice and be very proud...
Therefore, Koreans are a generation younger, and no matter what their job position or age is, all most people can do is just one word - "endure".
Therefore, Choi Min-hee appears so weird in this channel. Of course, because of his existence, Zheng Xiuheng's personality is also atypical. But the difference is that he is not completely Korean .
This was the first time the two of them had a real conversation like colleagues. Although they didn't know each other, but...
Neither of them really understood each other's thoughts.
"This is nothing. The only thing it can prove is that I am a man who has transcended vulgarity and has ideals and dreams!"
Cui Minxi's tone suddenly became a little strong, and he stood up suddenly, looking at Zheng Xiuheng with an expression that became extremely sincere, and then he bent his waist slightly.
Zheng Xiuheng was very surprised by Choi Min-hee's sudden bow. He was a little confused and thought to himself, "Is he going to be the Pirate King?"
Straightening up and looking at Zheng Xiuheng, Cui Minxi sincerely pleaded: "I'll ask you to do your best in hosting the show. If there is anything you need me to do, remember to tell me. I will cooperate with you perfectly and find a way to disrupt the live broadcast!"
After saying that, Choi Min-hee bent slightly to indicate that he was leaving.
Seeing Choi Min-hee turn around and walk out so decisively, Zheng Xiuheng showed some interest on his face. He seemed to think of all the melodramatic TV dramas where people have prominent families but extremely hate everything they have and want to rebel against fate and do things that their families don't like.
Then, after many twists and turns... he finally embarked on the path his family expected him to take, and the only change might be that he married a Cinderella.
However, no matter what Choi Min-hee's purpose was, Zheng Xiuheng no longer felt pressured and he had no doubts. After all, a guy who had offended all his colleagues must not be a normal person if this was a strategy used for competition.
Picking up the cup and drinking the instant coffee, feeling warm, Zheng Xiuheng stood up and left the lounge, returned to his group, and began to prepare for the live broadcast in the evening.
As the last program on Channel 2, "Yoo Hee-yeol's Emotional City" certainly has the lowest listening rate among the official programs of the channel. However, if this number is changed to the same time period, it is actually in the upper middle range.
The penetration rate of radio in South Korea is very high, which is largely due to the way the country's entertainment has developed. Apart from the economic development, just looking at the region, population, land area and coverage of domestic radio stations, first of all, in terms of competition, radio programs are not diverse and flourishing.
In addition, many Korean radio stations have celebrities as DJs, and the whole process is live, starting from fans, it is easy to cultivate a group of audiences.
The so-called formal programs, like "Yoo Hee-yeol's Emotional City", most programs with entertainers as DJs can be considered formal programs. Of course, programs without entertainers as DJs do not mean they are not formal programs, but they will not be as rich in form.
Moreover, many of the famous radio DJs in South Korea today were artists who were relatively popular in the past, like Yoo Hee-yeol. Although Yoo Hee-yeol cannot be said to be extremely famous, he was still very popular in the past.
For artists, very few say they dream of becoming a DJ, so they become hosts. Most of them start out to make money from announcements, and if they are lucky they will have good developments and gradually develop into a long-term job.
For Yoo Hee-yeol, listeners now still see him more as a radio DJ rather than a singer, but he can be counted as an artist.
The TV station was as busy as usual at night, and the teams in charge of the daytime programs at the radio station had basically gone off work at this moment.
In fact, Zheng Xiuheng's group basically starts work at five o'clock, and except for Li Zhimei and Li Zhongmin whose schedules are slightly less fixed, the other people in the group can basically be regarded as working the night shift.
The main reason for this period of time is that there are too many changes in work, so everyone is busy from morning to night. Although a new program is not something that can be completed with just two pieces of manuscript paper. In addition, the DJ has changed, and it is unlikely to continue Yoo Hee-yeol's program name and style. No matter whether it is Zheng Xiuheng or Choi Minxi in the end, after the internal review of the two is over, the program will appear in a new way for the first time.
Even if the content does not change much, the form must be changed.
At 11:30 in the evening, Zheng Xiuheng was sitting in the control room outside the live broadcast room, sending text messages with his mobile phone. This period of time was the blank period after the end of the previous program. There was about an hour of song broadcasts and commercials, and the program did not start until midnight.
However, Zheng Xiuheng felt very helpless at the moment, and even felt a little ashamed.
"PD Li, you must take good care of our cousin..."
Hearing these words, Zheng Xiuheng felt really ashamed, as if he had really become a relative of someone else, but he wasn't at that level yet.
