Chapter 51: Content Ideas

After arriving in Hong Kong, we started the site visit, focusing on places Lee had researched in advance.

The site visit was all about asking if we could get permission to film later, or visiting famous places and foods.

The schedule was almost like a trip.

Well, in fact, except for Lee, we came for a trip.

But since we came under the pretext of Lee’s site visit, we decided to help him.

“It would be fun to have a game about food. Food-related games have always been popular. We can modify it a little.

Show a menu where you can choose all the ingredients like Subway, and have them guess the Chinese characters to order the food.

Chinese characters are similar to Korean characters, but there are many differences, so it could be a fun point.”

“Hong Kong is the fourth most densely populated place in the world. As a result, cultures from all over the world naturally gather.

Especially in the 90s, Hong Kong movies had a power similar to Hollywood. The cast members seem to be quite old, so it would be fun to guess the titles of Hong Kong movies.”

“As the director said, Hong Kong is a place where cultures gather. As a result, many foods are mixed and new foods are created. It would be fun to show the food and guess which country’s food it originated from.”

Apart from me, the old man and Jeong Hayeon each shared their ideas and helped Lee.

My idea was not something I came up with, but a game that the future Lee would come up with, but their ideas were similar and yet a type of game I had never heard of.

The two came for a trip, but they were still thinking of Lee and trying to come up with good ideas.

“Uh, um…. I….”

Bom tried desperately to come up with something fun, but she couldn’t say anything in the end.

“Actress Bom, you came for a trip, so you don’t have to try so hard. That’s something that I or our writers should be thinking about. I’m grateful that you’re even thinking about it.”

“Yes….”

“Here, have another dim sum. This is delicious.”

The food that immediately comes to mind when you think of China, dumplings.

I’m not sure about the difference between dumplings, dim sum, and gyoza, but I know they’re a little different.

And this dim sum I’m eating now is by far the best of all the dumplings I’ve ever eaten.

“Wow, the juice is really amazing. The dumpling skin is very thin but chewy. This place is really a great restaurant?”

“Right? It’s a real local restaurant that I searched a lot in Korea. The ordering method is also unique, so I thought it would be fun to come.”

Saying that, Lee raised his hand and called the staff carrying the dumpling plate to add more dim sum.

It was like waiters carrying finger foods or champagne at a Western aristocratic party and people picking them up.

“Hong Kong is called a city of gastronomy. This dim sum is not a traditional Chinese style, but it mixes various cultures, so it can be this diverse and delicious.”

“That’s right. Usually, dumplings are filled with pork and vegetables, but some have chicken and some have seafood. It’s really delicious!”

“Bom, you should eat a lot too. You must have been busy appearing on TV and couldn’t eat much.”

“Yes!”

Bom couldn’t eat Hong Kong food well.

She couldn’t even touch food with a slightly unusual smell, probably because she was uncomfortable with the spices.

But fortunately, she seemed to like the dim sum, so she kept adding and eating dim sum.

“By the way, when is the broadcast going to air?”

“It will probably be around August. But I don’t think it will go over the summer?”

“It’s already season 5, so I thought it might be good to change the concept of the show a little. For example, since it’s airing in the summer, like a summer special.”

Lee’s variety show <Ugly Guy, Strange Guy, But Nice Guy>, which is currently very popular, shortened to <Guys.Guys.Guys>,

was originally a program that gathered people who were unfairly expelled from the entertainment world and traveled to restore their tarnished image.

In the beginning, it started with a plan to give a little impression and healing, but as the members stayed together and played games, their chemistry exploded,

and Lee’s unique progress was added, and the genre of the show changed from healing to comedy.

Still, as if to keep the concept of the title, it emphasizes that it is a healing concept every time the season continues, but in the end, the body gags and novel games among the members become popular,

making it the most popular variety show in Korea.

“The existing concept is no longer a concern. All the viewers know the stories of the members, and their tarnished image has been restored. Now, I think it’s okay to remove that concept and push forward with another concept.”

For example, the members could dress up as monsters that appear in ghost stories from around the world and proceed with the program….

Well, anyway, this is just saying what will be broadcast later.

But because of my existence, that future might change, so I’m giving Lee as many ideas as possible.

After listening to me, Lee nodded, took out his cell phone, and wrote down the ideas in his notebook.

“It’s really helpful. It’s similar to what I was thinking about, and it’s surprisingly similar to my thoughts, so I’m surprised.”

“Haha, of course, because I’m your niece.”

“Huh? Oh, oh oh. That’s right, of course!”

Lee awkwardly laughed, realizing his mistake.

Fortunately, no one seemed to notice.

I let out a sigh of relief inside, and Bom raised her hand and said to Lee.

“PD! What about this? We eat deliciously at this dim sum restaurant and then guess the price! If we guess within the margin of error, we get a reward, and if we don’t, we get a penalty!”

“Oh, that’s good too. Thank you, actress Bom.”

“Hehehe, I finally said something.”

Smiling bashfully, her chopsticks quietly picked up the dim sum on the plate.

She seemed to be happy and embarrassed that her opinion was helpful.

But there was something that Bom didn’t notice.

Given Bom’s age, it’s almost natural.

I glanced at Lee’s cell phone screen.

Dim sum – guess the bill?

I’ve seen it a lot… Ah, that’s it, it was on MBK

Yu’s treat

This won’t work

I look at Bom again.

She’s grinning as if she’s done something.

I put one of the dim sum I chose on her plate.

“…Enjoy your meal.”

Bom, who didn’t know what was going on, tilted her head slightly at my kindness, but put the dim sum I gave her in her mouth.

“Thank you~”

The site visit in Hong Kong was done very quickly.

Since the style of the show was not to go sightseeing outside, but to play games in one place, we simply looked around famous places and headed to Japan.

“Leaving Hong Kong in one day…. There’s so much to do in Hong Kong. The museums are also great.”

“Don’t be so disappointed. This schedule is only following Seongbeom’s schedule. Besides, Hayeon, don’t you go to China a lot by invitation?”

“That’s true, but going for work and going for a trip are different.”

Jeong Hayeon sighed deeply and complained to the old man.

I felt it a little in Korea, but they seem to be quite close to each other.

“The children are being so mature, so you should act like an adult. And the trip isn’t over, we’re going to Japan this time.”

“I know….”

Somehow, in front of the old man, I felt like her atmosphere had softened considerably.

The strong feeling I usually feel disappeared without a trace, and I could see the appearance of a younger sister who wants to be spoiled by her older brother.

I was a little curious about their relationship, but I didn’t bother to ask.

Just in time, it was time.

After going through all kinds of inspections to go to the departure area, Lee and I went in for the final departure inspection together.

“暂时在这边单独检查一下.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll inspect it separately here for a moment.”

The airport staff surrounded Lee and were about to take him somewhere again.

“No, not again!”

Lee cried out in frustration, but the staff didn’t understand Korean.

“Sigh….”

I told the staff protecting me that it was okay and ran to Lee.

Tsuki, who was looking at the record of today’s broadcast after the broadcast ended as always, made a fuss and made a phone call.

He, who received the call late at night, rubbed his tired eyes and read the viewer ratio chart she sent.

“It’s four times more! Considering that the average number of viewers of my broadcast is 4,000, there are 80 Koreans among them! People in Korea watch YouTube more than live broadcasts, so isn’t this huge?”

-I think you’re too excited because it’s the first time you’ve received a Kirinuki permission request. Calm down a little.

The reason why she was so excited was this.

There were some Kirinuki of her in Japan and the English-speaking world, but there were no cases where she had received explicit permission.

In that situation, she told them about her channel, got permission, and the number of listeners increased because of that video, so she couldn’t help but be excited.

-That’s true. That simple editing and storytelling that leads to the broadcast. It seems like it’s not an ordinary person.

“I wish I was in Japan so I could thank them. It’s a shame.”

-Don’t say scary things…. What if a virtual YouTuber shows their face?

“I, I’m told a lot that I’m cute?”

-I know that well. But you have to keep the secret.

“Tsk, I know.”

It’s a bit mean, but rules are rules.

Once you become a virtual YouTuber, you have to keep your own RP and be a different person from your real self.

That’s why the famous scene from The Matrix is taken and the real appearance of a virtual YouTuber is called the ‘red pill’.

“I know~”

-Sigh…. By the way, do you know that there’s a recording the day after tomorrow?

“Yes, it’s my first cover song recording. Of course I remember.”

-Be careful.

“You worry too much.”

But Tsuki liked that kind of boss.

He was the boss of the company, but he put down his authority and treated her like family.

They even meet and hang out on their days off.

She hung up the phone, thinking of the family she would meet after a long time.
