Chapter 220 Choice (1660)

The astonishing discovery after the culinary level was raised made Jiang Junhyuk instantly burst with confidence, wishing to accumulate hundreds of luck points immediately, and improve the lyrics, composer, director and screenwriter in an instant.

have no choice--

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

His popularity value is only five digits now, not even enough to convert a little luck value.

What frustrates Jiang Junhyuk the most is that with the release of "The Witch", his popularity has gradually decreased, and the daily growth rate of his popularity value has also gradually declined. The lower the exposure, the greater the impact on his daily growth rate of popularity value.

But he can't rely on hype to increase exposure.

Hype can certainly increase his popularity and increase his exposure, but this method of short-term hype is okay. If it is long-term hype, the damage to his reputation will be great in the long run.

In the long run, the harm outweighs the benefit, and the gain outweighs the gain.

then.

Jiang Junhyuk's eyes were fixed on the variety show again.

The hype is not good, but it is still feasible to participate in one or two variety shows to increase the popularity and exposure.

The next day, when meeting Li Minyong, Jiang Junhyuk brought up the topic of variety shows again.

"Brother Minyong, have you received an invitation to a variety show recently?"

"Variety show?"

Li Minyong looked at Jiang Junhe in surprise: "You want to participate in variety shows? Don't you like it?"

It is not that Li Minyong did not suggest that Jiang Junhyuk participate in variety shows to increase exposure, but Jiang Junhyuk's attitude towards variety shows has always been repeated.Sometimes he wants to participate, and sometimes he doesn't want to participate. Li Minyong doesn't even know what's wrong with Jiang Junhyuk. What is he thinking about being so capricious?

In fact, Jiang Junhe's idea is very simple.

As an actor, it is best to keep a sense of mystery with the audience.

For stars, proper exposure is needed, otherwise, after a while, especially in Korea, where stars are changing rapidly, the audience will soon forget you, and you will disappear from the audience's sight inside.

So participating in variety shows has a bright side.

The good thing is that through variety shows, you can improve your popularity in all aspects, get closer to the audience, make it easier for the audience to remember you, be more down-to-earth, and stay in the public's field of vision for a longer period of time.

But there are pros and cons to everything.

The downside of participating in variety shows is that variety shows will make stars lack a sense of mystery, overdraw their image, and easily lose themselves and forget their true hearts.

This has little impact on singer idols, but for actors, participating in too many variety shows has great damage.

Once indulging in the illusory popularity brought by variety shows, it is easy to lose yourself and forget the original intention of being an actor.And too much participation in variety shows, especially resident variety shows, will greatly overdraw the actor's image.It will destroy the mystery of the actor. When the actor appears in a film and television work again, it will cause the audience to be dislocated, and it is difficult to replace it.

The most typical example is Lee Kwang Soo in "Running Man".

"Running Man" has brought Lee Kwang-soo extremely high popularity, but Lee Kwang-soo's funny role in "Running Man" will also hinder his development in film and television.Because when the audience watches Lee Kwang-soo’s film and television works, except for the funny and silly, slightly serious and normal characters, the audience will feel weird, and they will subconsciously recall Lee Kwang-soo’s role in "Running Man", and it is difficult to substitute for the role. Empathize.

of course.

Some people may say that as long as the acting skills are good, there is no need to worry about overdrawing the image.Only those with mediocre acting skills would have such concerns.

But to be honest, if the image of an actor has formed a stereotype in your eyes, how good his acting skills must be can he truly break free from the shackles.It's like placing a mountain on a person's back. How much strength does this person have to move the mountain?And how many people can have such great strength?It's like being gifted with extraordinary talents and natural powers. People with such talents will always be one in a million, extremely rare.

and.

They already have such talent, so why waste themselves on variety shows?
This is also the reason why Jiang Junhyuk has repeatedly treated variety shows.

He didn't want to participate in variety shows because he didn't want to overdraw his own image.He wants to participate in variety shows to increase exposure and gain popularity.

When his desire for popularity is too high, he will want to participate in variety shows to gain popularity; but when his desire for popularity is not so urgent, participating in variety shows is meaningless to him.

What he wants to be is a real actor, not a funny entertainer.

Excessively overdrawing one's own image is tantamount to killing the actor's potential.

Of course.

Maintaining a sense of mystery and not overdrawing the image is very important for a talented or talented actor like Jiang Junhyuk.Because they don't need the assistance of variety shows, they can become popular with their own abilities.

But for an actor like Lee Kwang Soo with average appearance and talent, whether to protect his image or not, the difference is not big.

After all, if it’s hard for you to even show your head, and no one invites you to appear in a work, no matter how mysterious you are, you’re just a fool.

Generally speaking, for Lee Kwang-soo, the advantages of starring in "Running Man" actually outweigh the disadvantages.

But Lee Kwang-soo also knows that too many variety shows will harm the actors, so basically except for "Running Man", Lee Kwang-soo did not appear in the second resident variety show.

Li Minyong will inevitably be surprised to hear that Jiang Junhyuk wants to appear in a variety show again.

But Jiang Junhyuk didn't care what Li Minyong thought, and said directly: "Brother Minyong, I have thought clearly. It is still necessary to appear in variety shows once or twice to maintain exposure. Of course, in terms of the types of variety shows, the best It’s better to focus on the talk series, and you can also participate in one or two of the life series, but it must be the one with great influence and high ratings. Fewer but better, with high attention, this is the key point.”

Li Minyong couldn't help laughing and said: "You don't need to remind me of this at all. I will definitely pay attention to these in the selection of variety shows."

Jiang Junhyuk is now one of the company's most optimistic and valued artists, with extraordinary potential. Jiang Junhyuk didn't need to remind him at all, and the company would not let Jiang Junhyuk participate in too many variety shows and overdraw his image.Once the image is damaged, Jiang Junhyuk's commercial value will decrease, which will also cause great damage to the company's interests.

No one would want to turn a gold ingot into cheap brass.

Smiling, Li Minyong said again: "Since you want to participate in the variety show, there are several choices here, all of which have invited you, but the company has not given an affirmative reply."

Jiang Junhyuk asked, "Which programs are they?"

Lee Min-yong said, "'Happy Together' hosted by Yoo Jae Suk, 'Kim Byung Man's Law of the Jungle' hosted by Kim Byung Man, 'Knowing Brothers' hosted by Kang Ho Dong, KBS's 'Two Days One Night' and SBS's 'Running Man'. ". At present, only these few shows are worth appearing in. Others, appearing in it is of little significance to you."

Jiang Junhe fell into deep thought when he heard this.

　PS: I wish you all the best! ^_^
