Chapter Twelve: The Unforeseen Event
"Brother Meng Long! Something's happened!" Li Daming's voice was somewhat urgent.
"What's going on?" Tang Menglong asked strangely.
Li Daming hastily replied: "The Mu Nian Xi drama crew is surrounded by fans!"
Tang Menglong rolled his eyes and was somewhat speechless - weren't these celebrities always surrounded by people?
"It's just a siege, so what's the big deal! It's not like it's the first time!" Tang Menglong replied irresponsibly.
Li Daming hastily said, "No, it's not like that. The witch Yu Xi is about to finish filming, so the number of fans visiting the set has increased. As a result, I don't know where they came from today, but a large group of fans appeared and demanded that the stars of the crew sign autographs for them and take photos together!"
"Then sign and take a photo, if you're not willing, just let the brothers kill their way out!" Tang Menglong replied speechlessly.
Li Daming smiled wryly and replied, "Dream Dragon brother, stop joking around. Who knows if there are any crazies among those fans? The security department has only sent two people to their crew all along, and now the crew is trapped in that restaurant, unable to get out! Originally, the security department's manpower was already insufficient, and now they can't even spare anyone!"
Tang Menglong furrowed his brow: "Then report it to the police, can't we take advantage of the situation and hype it up a bit?"
Li Daming: "I want to too, but the director Quan Ji doesn't let me report it. He says that we're already nearing the end and the ratings are very good, he's afraid that if this gets out, it'll have a negative impact and affect the ratings! But I think..."
"What do you think?"
"They're deliberately looking for trouble with us!"
Tang Menglong furrowed his brow and then helplessly sighed: "Alright, tell me the address, I'll go there right now!"
Li Daming hastily told Tang Menglong the address. In fact, this restaurant was only a dozen minutes' drive from his place.
But telling Tang Menglong to solve this matter would be even more crazy, in Tang Menglong's view, that person named Quan Jishang was just looking for trouble, why not just report to the police.
But it's also strange about the Korean circle, fans are like parents, can't touch or touch, exaggeratedly speaking, if he hits you, you still have to protect him, but for Li Daming's words, Tang Menglong also thinks it's very possible, looking for trouble...
"Ah, damn it!"
Another huge sneeze, this made Tang Menglong's mood extremely uncomfortable. Although his recovery ability was superhuman, it seemed that he couldn't quickly recover from these illnesses caused by bacteria.
"Ah! What a hassle!" He changed into a white T-shirt and black sports pants, Tang Menglong stood in front of the mirror, glanced at himself casually, and left the apartment.
But after changing into sportswear, it means that Tang Menglong's mood is heading in an unpredictable direction.
………
Jeon Ki-sang is still an old brand name director of SBS. In the film and television industry, whether it's status, ability or connections, he belongs to the top.
This year's SBS special project drama "Witch Yoo Hee" is directed by him, and the drama stars Han Ga-in, Jeon Hye-bin, and others. The drama tells the story of a successful career woman who lacks love skills, Ma Yoo-hee, and a chef, Chae Moo-ryong, who becomes happy despite his difficult circumstances due to hope, as they meet as student and teacher to learn about love techniques, and unfold a sweet romance story.
The drama's ratings, apart from the first episode, have fluctuated somewhat, but overall, the ups and downs are not too great, with an average rating of around 13%.
In fact, this number is a bit exaggerated for Korean dramas.
As for today's fans asking the creators to sign their names, it's actually a small matter, although Li Daming said that the crew didn't want to report to the police, they were afraid of affecting the ratings.
But actually it's not like that, just as Li Daming said, it seems like looking for trouble.
Actually today is the day when the "Majo no Yohiko" drama team finishes filming, and they chose this restaurant to finish filming because it's convenient for them to have a drink after finishing.
The demands of these fans could have been met, but Quan Jihe and the crew were thinking that they would soon be wrapping up filming and thought it was a good opportunity to stir up some news, so they intentionally exaggerated the situation, making it seem like crazy fans were besieging the crew.
Of course, if you just look at it this way, it actually has nothing to do with Tang Menglong, but in fact, why Tang Menglong was dragged out, it actually has something to do with the structure of SBS's security department.
Currently, the SBS Security Department has a total of 42 employees, including one minister, one deputy minister, and eight groups, excluding security guards.
In fact, there are only a few people who come to watch, and it's enough to bear the security work of the whole TV station, but also have to accept various external assignments, this number of people is too small.
Like the case of actress Yoo Ji-tae, these days there are basically only two people following them, and it's completely impossible to achieve real security, not to mention the numerous incidents of fans sneaking onto the set.
But this is purely because SBS is short-handed.
In fact, working as a security guard on these crews is something that nobody likes, because the people in these crews completely treat those guards like temporary workers, not only responsible for safety work, but also often making them do things like cleaning up, moving things around, running errands and so on, basically just ordering them around.
Doing these tasks doesn't come with any extra bonuses, on the contrary, they often get complaints saying that even such small things can't be done properly.
But today is exactly when the whole crew wants to make a big deal, and by the way, clean up the security department's people, because he has already let the crew apply for personnel supplements several times, but it is said that there was no response at all. As a famous director of SBS, his status is not like those rubbish with combat power of only five.
Repeatedly applying without success makes people feel that they are not being given face. Since they are not being given face, they will also not give others face.
That's why today's farce happened.
It's actually easy to resolve this matter, there are only a few hundred fans outside. When the time comes and the reporters arrive, just let them in and say it's to repay the fans' enthusiasm, and offer everyone the signatures of all the main creators. This way, you can gain fame and get media attention, and when you go back, you can also find trouble with that head of security department, and if you can get out of class, even better.
Just like what was said at first, this SBS is supposed to be harmonious, but there are too many discordant places in it.
This matter has shocked Tang Menglong, who is in a state of illness and extremely poor mood, and the final outcome will eventually go to an extreme.
Tang Menglong's residence was actually only a ten-minute drive from the filming location, and soon Tang Menglong arrived at this restaurant called Wulongge.
At this moment, except for those two glass doors, all other places in the restaurant were covered with black flower-patterned curtains, and nothing could be seen inside.
Looking at the hundreds of young men and women outside, as well as the two young people wearing security uniforms and sweating profusely at the store entrance, Tang Menglong furrowed his brow, took out his phone to record the scene outside, and then walked towards the crowd.
"Ah!! Agassi, what are you doing?!"
"What's the squeeze?"
"Ah, pervert, you're grabbing my chest!"
"My butt!"
"Who kicked my egg, save me!"
Tang Menglong squeezed into the crowd casually and soon rushed to the entrance of Wulon Pavilion.
