Chapter 298 Choice
"How about I do it myself?"

As this thought came to mind, Huang Xu's eyes suddenly lit up.

This seems to be a solution to the current problem, right?
Since he can't find a PD with extraordinary abilities who can produce what he wants, why not just become that PD himself?

In that case, he only needs to recruit a few obedient deputy PDs and execute according to his ideas, right?
Thinking of this, he looked at Kim Tae-woo who was also frowning opposite him.

"President Kim, what do you think about me being the PD of this show?"

“Are you the PD of this show?”

When Jin Taiyu heard Huang Xu's sudden idea, he was also stunned. He didn't understand why Huang Xu suddenly came up with such an idea.

As one of the few people in MBK Entertainment who knows Huang Xu's identity, he also has a certain understanding of Huang Xu's other careers.

In addition to being the behind-the-scenes boss of MBK Entertainment, Huang Xu is also the open owner of a large restaurant chain.

As Huang Xu's subordinate, he was very concerned about Huang Xu's information.

So he knew very well that Huang Xu's restaurant chain company was one of the most popular restaurant chains in Korea nowadays.

Not to mention the Malatang restaurants that became extremely popular last year, they only opened more than a hundred stores in total.

But this time, for the pickled fish, we directly signed up 300 franchise stores at one time.

He now finds it hard to imagine how much money Huang Xu's company has earned from this franchising campaign.

He even felt that there was no need for Huang Xu to set up an entertainment agency.

With his current income, except for the three major brokerage companies of SM, most of the brokerage and entertainment companies should not be able to compare with Huang Xu's restaurant chain.

So it always feels a little bit wrong for a big boss like Huang Xu to be the PD of the show.

But now that Huang Xu had already brought it up, he could only follow Huang Xu's words and start complimenting him.

"Of course there is no problem with you being the chief PD. After all, you are the one who knows the program best and knows best what effects you want to achieve."

"If you lead the team, then the effect will be self-evident."

"But with your status, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to lead the team?"

“Will this be a little bit?”

Kim Tae-woo racked his brains thinking about how to convince Huang Xu to give up this idea, but at the end, he suddenly realized that Huang Xu seemed to be the most suitable candidate.

And it is indeed as he just complimented, Huang Xu knows the program better and is most clear about the effects the program wants to achieve. If he leads the team and serves as the chief director of the program, then it will naturally be a good match.

But the problem lies here, that is, whether Huang Xu's identity is somewhat inappropriate.

As Huang Xu listened to Jin Taiyu's words, he began to seriously think about the possibility of this matter.

The advantages are what Kim Tae-woo just mentioned.

As for my shortcomings, it is probably that I am not a professional program director and I only have a vague understanding of the program.

Maybe you have watched a lot of variety shows, but you don’t know much about how they are recorded and the various precautions involved.

But these problems do not seem to be unsolvable.

Huang Xu remembered that there were many celebrities in his previous life who, after achieving certain achievements and becoming famous, switched careers to become directors.

Never mind variety shows.

Those celebrity artists, writers and even internet celebrities can directly shoot TV series or even movies.

Then why can't I do it myself?

Although most of the works produced by these non-professionals are unsatisfactory, and some are even unwatchable.

But there are also some good quality ones.

In fact, our own variety show reality show is much simpler than those movies and TV series.

He just needs to find a few more experienced and professional deputy PDs, and then follow up to check the final results, which seems to be a possible solution.

At least it is more feasible than looking for people aimlessly like now.

You know, it's already the end of May, and Tara and her friends have basically practiced their new songs and dances.

Now all that’s left is the filming of the MV, and then we can start promoting and releasing the song directly.

The most important thing is that the time is getting closer and closer to the incident in September 2016, and the time for the domestic restriction on Korean culture to be issued is also getting closer and closer.

If he delays one more day now, he will lose a lot of income from commercial performances.

So the more Huang Xu thought about it, the more he felt that it would be a good idea for him to serve as the program's chief director.

Just as Huang Xu was thinking more and more that the idea was feasible, Jin Tae-woo on the opposite side was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

In order to meet Huang Xu's requirements, he has mobilized all the connections he knows in the past few days to find a suitable program PD.

Or in other words, the program PD that makes Huang Xu feel satisfied.

However, these people he had worked so hard to find, even those who worked in well-known TV variety shows, seemed to be unable to meet Huang Xu's requirements.

This made him very nervous.

He knew how much Huang Xu valued this matter, and he also knew how important this matter was to Huang Xu.

Therefore, he was even more afraid that if he could not fulfill Huang Xu's requirements, Huang Xu would be angry with him and directly remove him from his position as president.

He had endured decades to get this opportunity, and he didn't want to give it up easily.

He had just enjoyed a few months of being the best of the best, enjoying status and power that he had never had before.

Especially Kim Kwang-soo, who used to be someone he needed to look up to, has now become his subordinate.

This made him very intoxicated, and he didn't want to give up this position even more.

The idea Huang Xu is proposing now can just solve the problem he is facing.

Since Huang Xu is the director himself, then the issue of his own poor performance can be made public, right?

Although this news was good news for him, after pondering for a moment, he still spoke to Huang Xu with a little worry.

"Boss Huang, there will be no problem if you personally serve as the chief director of the program."

"And with you as the chief director, you can better guarantee the final presentation of the program."

"But with your identity, if you do these things, will it be possible?"

“Is this also a problem?”

Hearing Jin Taiyu's concern, Huang Xu's face, which was very excited just now, immediately fell.

His current entertainment company was able to successfully acquire Kim Kwang-soo's CCM and whitewash Tara. All of these had a lot to do with Huang Xu hiding behind the scenes and James, an American, coming forward.

Especially regarding the matter of clearing Tara's name, if it weren't for James' American identity and his military background, it would have been basically impossible to clear her name so easily.

After all, the scandals surrounding these people are related to the people in power here.

Therefore, Huang Xu had been hiding his identity very well before. Even when he was whitewashing Tara and the others, he was very cautious when meeting Kim Tae-woo.

So now if he were to reveal his identity while recording a program, Huang Xu would indeed be hesitant.

So after hearing what Kim Tae-woo said, he also frowned and said to him.

"Okay, now this is indeed a problem."

"Well, you continue to look for someone, and I'll go back and think about what to do."

"Okay Mr. Huang."

When Jin Taiyu heard this, he nodded to Huang Xu with a bitter face.

Huang Xu looked at his wrinkled face and smiled at him. "Okay, President Jin, relax. We can solve the problem."

"By the way, how's the girl group I arranged for you to find a few days ago going? Have you found their company?"

"I found Mr. Huang. I contacted someone from their company yesterday. Their president asked me to meet him tomorrow."

"Sure, you're really fast."

"I will definitely pay attention to what you tell me to do."

"Okay, I won't waste your time. You can have a good talk with him tomorrow and see if you can buy them all back."

After Huang Xu finished speaking, he said goodbye to Jin Taiyu and then drove to a larger seafood market.

These days, Sunny and Kim Taeyeon need to spend a lot of time practicing every day for the concert, which requires a lot of physical energy.

However, in order to maintain their body shape and performance effects, they cannot eat a lot.

Therefore, Huang Xu needs to help them prepare food that is high in protein, low in fat, nutritious and not easy to make you fat.

And seafood is an extremely suitable ingredient for them.

By the time he came back from the vegetable market, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening and it was dark.

But Huang Xu was not in a hurry.

Sunny and Kim Taeyeon are currently training, and basically they have to practice until the early morning every day before coming back.

So Huang Xu made something for himself first to fill his stomach, then he cleaned and processed the seafood, and then put them in the fresh-keeping layer to preserve them.

This way, when the two of them come back, he can steam it and then prepare the sauce.

After completing the preparations, Huang Xu took out a pen and paper, sat at the dining table, and began to think about the problem that had been bothering him in the afternoon.

That is whether or not he should be the director of Tara's variety show.

On the one hand, we can start preparing the program team members directly and start filming and promoting them.

On the other hand, there is the risk of exposing oneself and the consequences of exposure.

He listed the pros and cons of each option on paper, ready to make a choice after considering all aspects of the matter.

After all, this matter is related to his future development and future income, so Huang Xu cannot afford to be careless.

The first option is to serve as the program’s chief director yourself and take your team members to shoot the variety show.

The benefits of this are obvious.

Not only can we start shooting the program quickly, but we can also ensure the quality of the program to a certain extent.

However, the disadvantages of this choice are also very obvious.

That is one’s own identity, which may be exposed directly if not handled properly, and may even affect one’s own chain franchise company.

But if you choose the second one and continue looking for a suitable program chief PD, it will take an indefinite amount of time.

This greatly delayed Tara and others' pace of advancing into China.

As an important part of his future development, Huang Xu naturally wants to develop as quickly as possible.

The market in China is very different from that in South Korea.

If Huang Xu plays well, he will be able to reap huge benefits by relying on Tara in the next few years.

After all, with the intervention of capital in recent years, the income of China's film and television stars has increased dramatically, step by step.

Even in a couple of years, the income of Chinese stars will be comparable to that of Hollywood stars.

If Huang Xu operates properly, the benefits he will gain cannot be underestimated.

This is the real reason why Huang Xu is troubled.

And time passed slowly bit by bit as Huang Xu was struggling.

It was not until the sound of the door opening that Huang Xu woke up from his thoughts. He then quickly put on a smile, stood up and prepared to welcome Sunny and Kim Taeyeon home.

What surprised him was that there was only Sunny at the door, and no sign of Kim Taeyeon, which made Huang Xu curious.

"Where's Taeyeon? Why didn't she come back today?"

Taking Sunny's backpack, Huang Xu looked at the empty aisle behind her and asked curiously.

After hearing what Huang Xu said, Sunny immediately changed her attitude towards Huang Xu.

When she saw Huang Xu's smiling face, her face immediately turned gloomy, and she spoke to Huang Xu in a crying voice.

"What? It's only been a few days, and you've forgotten me?"

"As expected, men are always fickle. He's only been with Taeyeon for a few days, and he's already forgotten about me."

"All men have no conscience, right?"

"Yeah, you know that's not what I meant."

Huang Xu watched Sunny's performance. Although he knew she was fake and was not really angry, he still hurried to cooperate with her performance.

A panicked expression immediately appeared on his face as he explained to her.

"How could I forget our Sunny?"

"I'm just curious. Didn't you go out together today?"

"."

"That's pretty much it."

Seeing Huang Xu's cooperative performance, Sunny smiled and explained.

"Taeyeon won't come today, and she may not be able to come in the next few days."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"How should I put it? The problem isn't that big, it's just a bit troublesome."

Sunny then told Huang Xu what happened in the practice room today.

As Huang Xu listened to Sunny's story, an awkward smile appeared on his face.

He really didn't expect that Tiffany would find out the clues about Kim Taeyeon in just two or three days.

However, Huang Xu was somewhat helpless about this kind of thing.

We can't just expose their relationship and make things difficult for Kim Taeyeon.

Then he nodded and said to Sunny.

"Then if she can't come back, then her loss will be quite big."

"I have prepared a lot of delicious food today, just waiting for you to come back."

"If she doesn't come back, then it will be just the two of us enjoying it together."

"I can't help it, Tiffany found out!"

A gloating smile appeared on Sunny's face, and then she said to Huang Xu.

"It's okay. She can watch even if she can't eat it."

"I'll take some pictures for her later."
