The group was kicked out, and low presence means they are bad?

Beijing.

In a relatively secluded villa.

In the luxuriously decorated living room, "Squid Game" was playing on TV.

In the picture, several upper-class people wearing animal masks came to the venue of the Squid Game.

They want to appreciate it all from close up.

“Do these people wearing animal masks symbolize the countries behind them?”

On the leather sofa, Qiu Zongyu watched the scene with interest and smiled, "Bai Xingjian is quite daring to take pictures."

"What's the point of daring to shoot it? It still can't be shown in the country."

Qiu Weirui, who was sitting next to him, curled her lips and said, "If Squid Game could be shown in China, I wonder how much profit it could generate!"

"You."

Qiu Zongyu glanced at Qiu Weirui and said with a smile: "What's going on recently? It feels like you've lost your money? You don't have enough money?"

Qiu Weirui shook his head. "If I don't have enough money one day, will you still sit here and watch TV peacefully? I just feel sorry for the show "Squid Game"."

"Oh, no matter whether your money is enough or not, my money for retirement is definitely enough."

Qiu Zongyu sneered, "But it's good that Squid Game is not broadcast online in China. As for the content of this drama, I was sweating when I watched it a few days ago. I can only say that it's a good thing that this drama was not broadcast in China, otherwise some people would be very upset."

"Well, this is indeed a big problem." When this topic was mentioned, Qiu Weirui also hit his head.

“Although ‘Squid Game’ cannot be released in China, there shouldn’t be any problem in holding some activities in China based on this IP, right?” Qiu Weirui asked his grandfather.

"What could possibly be wrong with that?"

Qiu Zongyu smiled and said, "I have already made concessions. If those people don't make concessions, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?"

"Hehehe, you're still the best." Qiu Weirui complimented with a smile.

After the grandfather and grandson chatted for a few sentences, they each concentrated on watching "Squid Game".

This drama seems to be quite exciting.

……

While Twitter and Naver social platforms were hotly discussing Bai Xingjian and "Squid Game", in real life, some media in Corea also took further action.

Corea, KBS headquarters building in Yeouido, Seoul.

The atmosphere in a meeting room of the News Department was particularly heated.

The display screen on the wall was scrolling the achievements of "Squid Game".

Around the conference table, many staff members stared at the data with wide eyes and looked at each other in confusion.

Then discussions began to arise, one after another.

"Is the performance of Squid Game really that good? Didn't Kitayama Masaru accuse Bai Xingjian of inflating the data?"

"No, how come you also believe what Kitayama Masa said? Are you so disappointed by the good performance of Squid Game?"

"It's not that I'm disappointed, but I'm a little embarrassed. After all, Bai Xingjian is a Chinese, but he used our Coria culture to make a world-famous TV series. Do you think this is justified? It's not justified, right?"

"Why is this so unreasonable? Didn't China go through something like this before? What was the name of that movie? The Last Emperor, right? It was made by people from Italy and England, and it became a big hit at the Academy Awards in America, winning multiple Oscars."

"That's right. At present, the attitude of our domestic netizens has changed from boycotting Bai Xingjian to admiring and respecting him. Even domestic netizens are like this, so there is no need for us to continue to put on airs, right?"

"I can only say that the old Chinese saying is true: He who knows the current situation is a hero. It's okay to be humble when necessary. After all, the impact that Squid Game has brought to our Coria is really not small!"

"Indeed, Squidward Gone Wild is almost entirely made up of Corean elements, such as Squidward Gone Wild, Loblolly, etc. It has a very strong Corean flavor. Even the New York Times commented that Squidward Gone Wild is the 'peak of Korean culture', and the BBC even predicted that Squidward Gone Wild could win an Emmy Award. This is incredible."

Everyone in the room was discussing non-stop, until finally Kim Tae-hee, the editor-in-chief of the news department, who was sitting in the main seat, knocked on the conference table and everyone quieted down.

"Alright, alright, everyone, be quiet for a moment."

Kim Tae-hee waved her hand and said, "Currently, Bai Xingjian's popularity is very high, both globally and in our Corea. But what about the discussion about our Corea? Compared to that, it's simply not worth mentioning. So we can't let Bai Xingjian steal our limelight any more."

"That's right!"

KBS's official reporter Park Min-jun said, "Although Squid Game is a hit, we at KBS haven't gotten any benefit at the moment! Netflix is ​​probably making a fortune now, and Bai Xingjian has become a major promoter of the Korean Wave, but we haven't even gotten a sip of the benefits."

Kim Tae-hee frowned and tapped the table with her fingers: "Indeed, Squidward has been a global hit for quite some time, and we haven't even had a sip of the soup. We can't go on like this. Even if we can't have a sip of the soup of Squidward, we have to get some. We can't just sit there and watch the craze of Squidward!"

After these words were spoken, everyone in the room nodded in agreement.

It's not shameful to rub it.

"Then editor-in-chief, what should we do?" Park Min-jun asked.

Kim Tae-hee pondered for a moment, "Let's do a special report first. Invite the director of Squid Game, Hwang Hyuk-dong, and the lead actor, Lee Jung-jae, to come over for an interview. As for the title, let's decide [Squid Game is sweeping the world, and Corea culture is invincible!] Just briefly mention Bai Xingjian, the Chinese. We can't let him steal our limelight this time."

……

KBS moves very quickly.

They prepared everything that afternoon.

Inside a KBS studio, the lighting was quite dazzling at this moment, and various cameras were set up around, giving it a sense of a steel jungle.

Huang Hedong and Lee Jung Jae, who have finished their makeup, sat together on the sofa, ready to face the live interview with KBS host Choi Eun-hee.

Cui Enxi was wearing a neat blue suit, with a professional yet enthusiastic smile. She held a stack of question cards in her hand and said in a brisk tone:

"Huang Hedongxi, Li Zhengzaixi, our live broadcast will start in three minutes. Are you ready?"

Xi is a respectful title in Corea, equivalent to Mr. or Ms. in Chinese, and Mr. or Mrs. in English.

Huang Hedong and Lee Jung Jae nodded in sync, but their facial expressions were a little stiff.

Although both of them have been immersed in the director and entertainer circles for many years, they were inevitably nervous when facing this interview.

The reason is simple: "Squid Game" has been extremely popular recently.

Soon after its release, it attracted worldwide attention.

This was something that neither Hwang Hyuk-dong nor Lee Jung-jae had ever experienced before.

And judging from the preview of this live interview released by KBS, the number of people coming to watch this live broadcast this afternoon will probably not be low.

Noticing the state of the two, Choi Eun-hee smiled and said a few words of comfort. Not long after, with the studio staff making the decision, KBS's live interview on "Squid Game" officially began.

As soon as the live broadcast room was opened, countless netizens waiting outside rushed in.

two thousand……

Ten thousand...

fifty thousand……

One hundred and fifty thousand……

Five hundred thousand...

Almost in an instant, the number of people in the live broadcast room reached one million.

Looking at the number of people, KBS editor-in-chief Kim Tae-hee wiped the sweat from her forehead and sighed, "Fortunately, I had informed the people at the live broadcast channel beforehand, otherwise, with so many people rushing into the live broadcast room, the channel would have probably crashed."

While Kim Tae-hee was sighing silently, she couldn't help but exclaimed with a bit of sourness: "This "Squid Game" is really popular!"

In addition to interviewing Hwang Hyuk-dong and Lee Jung-jae, KBS also arranged some segments for the two of them to interact with netizens.

So diagonally opposite the sofa where the two were sitting, the staff placed a fairly large screen for viewing the barrage comments in the live broadcast room.

Although Huang Hedong and Li Zhengzai were sitting upright on the sofa at this time, their eyes could not help but glance at the big screen diagonally opposite.

Huang Hedong and Li Zhengzai became visibly nervous when they saw the rapidly increasing number of people in the live broadcast room and the barrage of comments pouring out like waves.

Their "petty theft" behavior was also seen by countless viewers in the live broadcast room.

The barrage of comments suddenly became jubilant.

Choi Eun-hee, the host of this interview, couldn't help laughing, but he quickly controlled his emotions and greeted the netizens in the live broadcast room according to the predetermined rhythm.

After a mutual greeting, the interview officially began.

Cui Enxi held the question card and asked seriously: "Soon after the launch of Squid Game, it aroused heated discussions among audiences around the world and became the most discussed topic among netizens around the world during this period, which also brought the Corean culture into the sight of audiences around the world.

Mr. Huang Hedong, the drama "Squid Game" is so popular, can you tell us the story behind the creation of this drama? "

“What’s the story behind the creation?”

Huang Hedong pushed his glasses and smiled shyly: "The script of the play "Squid Game" was not written by me, but by Bai Xingjianxi. I was surprised when I saw the script. Aren't Squid Game and Lu Tang my childhood memories? How could Bai Xingjianxi write them so intimately? Did he live in our Coria since he was a child?

It turns out that this is not the case. Bai Xingjianxi has never lived in our Coria before, but he has a deep understanding of some information and culture, which is really admirable. "

Hearing these words, Cui Enxi's heart skipped a beat.

How come this is completely different from what he imagined?
Why did Huang Hedong mention Bai Xingjian as soon as he opened his mouth?

Didn’t we agree before that we should focus more on ourselves?
What's going on with you now?

Kim Tae-hee, who was staring at the live broadcast data, also frowned.

Huang Hedong's words directly ignited the enthusiasm of many netizens in the live broadcast room, and Bai Xingjian became the center of their discussion again.

【This is the White God! 】

【Our Bai Xingjian Oppa is the best! 】

[Hahaha, I can only say that Bai Xingjian and our Corea have a special affinity! ]

[No, Huang Hedong, what's wrong with you? KBS asked you to do an interview, not to flatter Bai Xingjian. What's with your expression of admiration for Bai Xingjian? Did Bai Xingjian drug you?]

[Yeah, and what are you doing, Lee Jung Jae? Why are you nodding? Choi Eun Hee hasn't asked you a question yet, but you're just nodding your head. You really don't have any momentum at all.]

[What kind of magic potion is this? Isn't what Director Huang said true? What are you guys so excited about? ]

[Guo Xiao, can you please stop being so stingy? It's wrong for Bai Xingjian to promote our Kauria culture? ]

[That’s right! If you are criticizing Bai Xingjian here, go make a movie called “Squid Game” if you have the ability! If you don’t have the ability, don’t shout here! ]

[The layout of Guoxie is really small! Too small! (Pinching)]

The live broadcast room was filled with comments, and Choi Eun-hee nodded and quickly skipped the topic.

"Lee Jung Jae, what was your first feeling when you played the role of Sung Ki Hoon?" Choi Eun Hee asked.

Lee Jung Jae paused for a moment and said, "The role of Sung Ki Hoon is very difficult to play. I believe everyone has seen that this character is a loser at the beginning, but after a series of events, he gradually becomes brave and grows up. In the end, I think many viewers like this character, right?"

Lee Jung-jae's words deeply touched the netizens in the live broadcast room.

[Lee Jung-jae was indeed a character that everyone hated in the beginning. It made me want to slap him.]

[It's Sung Ki-hoon, not Lee Jung-jae. Please don't involve the actor in the character's issue, okay? ]

[It must be said that the most impressive character in "Squid Game" is Sung Ki-hoon. Although he is the protagonist of the show and has a lot of scenes, the reason why he is so impressive is definitely not because of this. ]

[Yes, the character arc of Sung Ki-hoon is so well-drawn that it makes me want to watch the second season of Squidward! ]

[I can only say that Cheng Qixun really deserved a beating in the early stages. ]

"That's true, and I really like the character of Sung Ki-hoon."

Cui Enxi said with a smile: "Although I hated him very much at the beginning, I liked him more and more later."

Li Zhengzai smiled and praised: "I can only say that Bai Xingjianxi's characterization is too perfect. A protagonist that makes people love and hate him. Many screenwriters probably don't dare to write like this."

After these words were spoken, Cui Enxi fell silent for a while.

No, are you and Huang Hedong a couple?
Calling him Bai Xingjian all the time, is that really interesting?

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter again.

[What's going on today? Are Huang Hedong and Li Zhengzai unable to speak without Bai Xingjian? ]

[What do you know? It's obvious that after Huang Hedong and Li Zhengzai went to China, they directly learned the unique secrets there - the ways of the world! ]

[These two people are so worldly-wise. ]

[The salary that Bai Xingjian paid them must be very high, right? ]

[That's for sure. I can only say that both Hwang Hyuk-dong and Lee Jung-jae are good money-makers! ] (End of this chapter)
