The amazing discovery after the cooking level was improved made Kang Junhyuk feel extremely confident and he wished he could immediately accumulate hundreds of luck points, and instantly improve the lyrics, composing, director and screenwriter.

have no choice--

Ideals are full, reality is skinny.

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

What makes Jiang Junhe the most depressed is that as the Witches are paintings, his popularity gradually decreases, and the daily growth rate of popularity is also gradually declining. The lower the exposure, the greater the impact on the daily growth rate of other people's popularity.

But he cannot rely on hype to increase exposure.

Although hype can certainly increase his popularity and increase his exposure, this method is OK to hype in a short term. If it is hype for a long time and continues, it will be extremely harmful to his reputation.

In the long run, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits and the gains are not worth the losses.

then.

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

The hype is not good, but it is still feasible to participate in a variety show once or twice to increase the popularity and exposure.

The next day, when he met Lee 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?”

Lee Minyong looked at Jiang Junhyuk in surprise: "Do you want to participate in a variety show? Don't you like it?"

Before, Lee Minyong didn't propose that Kang Junhyuk participate in variety shows to increase exposure, but Kang Junhyuk's attitude towards variety shows has been repeated over and over again. He wanted to participate, but he didn't want to participate. Li Minyong didn't know what Jiang Junhyuk had. What did he think about such a capriciousness?

In fact, Jiang Junhyuk’s idea is very simple.

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

For celebrities, appropriate exposure is required, otherwise after a while, especially in the rapid renewal of Korean stars, the audience will soon forget you and you will disappear from the audience's sight.

So participating in variety shows has a good side.

The upside is that through variety shows, it is beneficial to increase your popularity in all aspects, get closer to the audience, make the audience remember you more, be more down-to-earth, and stay in the public's vision for a longer time.

But everything has its pros and cons.

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

This has little impact on singers and idols, but for actors, too many participation in variety shows will greatly damage them.

Once you are addicted to the illusory popularity brought by variety shows, you will easily lose yourself and forget the true intention of being an actor. Moreover, participating in too many variety shows, especially the resident variety shows, will greatly overdraw the actor's image. It will destroy the actor's sense of mystery. When an actor stares in film and television works, it will cause the audience to be misaligned and it will be difficult to substitute it again.

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

"Running Man" brought extremely high popularity to Lee Kwang-soo, but the funny responsibility Lee Kwang-soo positioned in "Running Man" will also hinder his development in film and television. Because when viewing the film and television works starring Lee Kwang-soo, in addition to the funny and stupid, slightly serious and normal roles, the audience will feel weird, and subconsciously recall Lee Kwang-soo's role in "Running Man", it is difficult to take part in the role and empathize.

certainly.

Some people may say that as long as they have good acting skills, they don’t have to worry about overdrawing their image. Only those with average acting skills will have this kind of concern.

But to be honest, if the image of an actor has formed a fixed pattern in your eyes, how good the acting skills must be to truly break free from the constraints. It is like placing a mountain on a person's back. How much strength does this person have to move the mountain away? And how many people can have such great strength? It is like being gifted and born with divine power. People with such talent will always be incredibly rare.

and.

If you have such talent, why should you consume yourself on variety shows?

This is also the reason why Kang Junhyuk treats variety shows repeatedly.

He doesn't want to participate in variety shows because he doesn't want to overdraw his 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 and create a wave of popularity; but when his desire for popularity is not so urgent, participating in variety shows will have no meaning to him.

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

Overdrawing one's image is equivalent to stifling the actor's potential.

Of course.

Maintaining a sense of mystery and not overdrawing the image is very important for actors like Kang Junhyuk who have gold fingers or are talented. Because they do not need the assistance of variety shows, they can become popular based on their own abilities.

But for actors like Lee Kwang-soo who have average appearance and talent, there is little difference between protecting their image or not.

After all, if you are even hard to show your head, and no one invites you to appear in your work, even if you maintain a sense of mystery, it will be a frustration.

Overall, starring in "Running Man" is actually more beneficial than disadvantages for Lee Kwang-soo.

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

At this moment, Li Minyong was inevitably surprised to hear that Kang Junhyuk wanted to act in a variety show again.

But Kang Junhyuk didn't care about what Lee Minyong thought and said directly: "Brother Minyong, I have figured it out. It is still necessary to occasionally act in variety shows once or twice to maintain exposure. Of course, in terms of variety shows, it is best to focus on conversations, and lifestyles can also participate in one or two, but it must be the kind of person with great influence and high ratings. Few but high attention, high attention, this is the key."

Li Minyong couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't need to remind you of this at all. I will definitely pay attention to these when choosing variety shows."

Jiang Junhe is now one of the most optimistic and valued artists in the company. He has extraordinary potential and there is no need for Jiang Junhe to remind him that the company will not let Jiang Junhe participate in variety shows too much and overdraw his image. Once the image is damaged, Jiang Junhe's commercial value will be reduced, which will also cause great damage to the company's interests.

No one wants to turn a gold ingot into cheap brass.

After a smile, Li Minyong said again: "Since you want to participate in a variety show, there are several options here, all of which have been invited to you, but the company has never given a positive reply."

Kang Junhyuk asked, "What are the programs?"

Lee Min-yong said: "Happy Together hosted by Yoo Jae-suk, Kim Byung-man's Rules of the Jungle hosted by Kim Byung-man, "Keep Brothers" hosted by Kang Ho-dong, KBS's "Two Days and One Nights" and SBS's "Running Man". At present, only these programs have the value of acting. Others, acting doesn't mean much to you."
