Chapter 387 Consciousness(1/2)
ps: The next chapter name has been changed.
"These two statements are actually not correct." Kim Yong-seok replied calmly. "Of course the gift cannot be just this single TV series, but it does not mean anything else."
"So that's it." Kim Jong-ming nodded slowly. "In other words, is this TV series considered part of the gift?"
"That's right." Jin Yongseok smiled. "To be precise, this TV series is a symbolic representative of this gift."
Jin Zhongming understood completely now.
By the way, for the three major TV stations, although at least three major dramas and one weekend drama will be held at the same time every week, and if the subsequent ratings and market reactions are not taken into account, there seems to be no correlation or difference between these TV stations... But in fact, how can we really achieve a balance between the TV stations just?
Think about it, from the reputation of the screenwriter and script quality at the beginning, to the budget of the TV station for production and publicity, and finally the key cast lineup, and even the status of producers and producers in the TV station, each TV series will have significant implicit differences from the preparation stage.
Therefore, the four major TV series every week are destined to have one of the four major TV series that has been invested more effort and ideas by the TV station. In a whole year cycle, one or two are destined to have one or two movies that have been implanted in 120,000 expectations by the TV station at the beginning.
Then there is no doubt that the movie "You From the Star" in front of you should be such a TV series.
"When it comes to the taste of the audience, it is becoming more and more difficult to understand." Kim Yong-seok seemed to be a little emotional. "The irrelevance of ratings and investment is becoming more and more outrageous. But how can we say, how can we not understand the truth about introductory innovations in Korean dramas that have been filming for life? How can we not know how to keep up with the pace of the times? After all, it is because of the word risk. Following the old method, then handsome men and beautiful women, then the second generation of chaebols and Cinderella can keep the bottom of the situation. It is not impossible to fight, but someone has to stand up and take responsibility for the risks. However, when it comes to taking responsibility, tsk tsk..."
Kim Jong-ming nodded in agreement: "That's right, conservatism and radicalism are eternal themes, and the bigger the family and the bigger the business, the more conservative it is, it's natural. Now, everyone uses the tvn craze to complain about the incompetence of the three major TV stations, but in fact, if tvn is really the same size, how can it be without any burden to make so many genre innovations in variety shows and TV series?"
Kim Yongseok nodded and said nothing.
"So what?" Kim Jong-ming looked up and urged. "Minister Kim came to me to complain about his pain?"
"Ha!" Kim Yong-seok laughed, and then couldn't help but shake his head. "What complaints? I just couldn't help but feel unwilling to accept it... Representative Kim Jong-ming, since this is the case, I'll just speak out. From the new KBS director being undermined to the mbc's change of ownership, and the government's new cultural fund allocation seems to have fallen into your hands... Bae Yong-jun can't say that he is not yours, right? In short, your strength is too scared for us!"
"So what?" Kim Jong-ming was calm.
"So our SBS people discussed it and decided to turn against each other and surrender it with Eli Lilly." At this point, Kim Yongseok was quite self-deprecating. "How to say it? Although our SBS is one of the three major TV stations and is supervised by the government, it is not as bad as the other two TV stations, so surrender is much more apt. In fact, most things are generally discussed with Minister Li Nanji, who is in charge of news, and then I can make the final decision... "
"Chief Li Nanji is back?" Kim Jong-ming made a little mistake.
"Yes, he said he didn't want to be angry at the Blue House. After he came back, he would still be his minister of news." Jin Yongseok replied frankly. "Anyway, we have discussed it roughly in the past two days. We felt that you didn't want to engage in a big annexation, nor did you have to make the whole circle bloody. No one is so bored, and you don't look like a lunatic..."
Kim Jong-ming couldn't help laughing: "Is his reputation so bad?"
"But some things need to be considered in reverse," Kim Yong-seok didn't care about the other party's interruption, but continued to say. "Think carefully, since you did this, it means you still have some ideas about the TV industry. Apart from the journalism industry where the political elites will never let go, what else is worthy of your big fight in our industry? That's nothing more than Korean wave's fist products, which are Korean dramas and variety shows. So, we guess you want to monopolize the output channels of this product, right? After all, after the Chinese market is opened, this business is indeed different from the past. The copyright of a variety show can support half a TV station, and a TV series that forms a trend is enough to produce huge economic benefits..."
"So you decided to send it right?"
"That's right." Kim Yongseok took a breath. "Originally, most of our SBS variety shows were just for you cubes, so it's not bad for this Korean drama business."
"But if I want to say... I just do my best, I actually don't have any urgent thoughts about SBS' Korean dramas?" Kim Jong-ming stroked the script under his hands and then gave a very abrupt sentence.
Jin Yongxie's Adam's apple obviously shook with this sentence, but it immediately returned to normal: "That's fine. We have thought about this possibility before, but compared to things like being taken away by a prosecutor in court, or suddenly losing anything after spending most of our lives, what if we take the initiative? The weak must always have the awareness of the weak... Besides, from previous experience, you won't let us suffer too much, right?"
Kim Jong-ming finally grinned: "Minister Kim, we have known each other for many years. Tell me the truth, is the deterrent force of mbc?"
"It depends on who it is." Jin Yongxie also laughed dryly. "For the middle and lower levels of the TV station, this matter is just a way to spread gossip and watch the excitement; for ordinary people in front of computers and mobile phone screens, this matter may not be as attractive as a comic; but for those of us who usually call the wind and rain, it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad!"
"The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and things hurt their species." Kim Jong-ming smiled. "I understand. Since you are so sincere, I will seem a little ignorant of my refusal if I refuse."
Jin Yongxie's face twitched unconsciously, but soon smiled like a flower: "After all, I feel that SBS and Cube have always had a good cooperation tradition, so please accept it!"
"Okay." Kim Jong-ming continued with a smile. "It's just that. Then we let the people below talk about the details, and in principle it's the same as the variety show..."
Kim Yongseok nodded repeatedly.
"But is there anything wrong with taking this TV series out separately?" Kim Jong-ming picked up the script on the table and continued to ask. "I heard from Minister Kim that he wanted to take it out and be a representative of the cooperation between the two parties?"
"That's right!" Jin Yongseok came back to his senses and cheered up a little. "This script was highly valued when he first bought it. After all, this screenwriter is a famous screenwriter who has been very fast in recent years. And there are some things that have been seen more and more tricks. We carefully reviewed them and the more we read them, the more we felt that it was right. It was really a rare good script. First of all, the subject matter is novel, and the male protagonist is an alien..."
The director of SBS keeps in front of a script, and Kim Jong-ming, who is sitting behind the desk, nods slowly while listening. Of course, he knows these advantages, because this work is a representative work in Korean dramas, and it is also the most outstanding Korean drama in the subsequent Korean wave exports to China, no doubt about it.
Aliens, the new bottle of superpowers carries the original classic love story of traditional Korean dramas, plus the rare correct views and character designs in Korean dramas, and there are constantly upgraded novel plots and excellent lines. These are all the charm of this TV series.
Of course, there are some things hidden behind the scenes but are natural and even about to come out, such as big investment, dedicated production, dazzling cast lineup, crazy commercial sponsorship, etc.
"All in all," Kim Yong-seok concluded seriously. "This TV series is an important statement of our sbs to the market, Korean dramas, and today's cultural policies! At the same time, we also hope to use this drama to open a representative start for the cooperation between our two companies!"
Kim Jong-ming nodded slowly: "I understand, don't worry, our cube will definitely not drag us down. In investment, commercial development, overseas publicity, especially in China's publicity, these will have a firm statement!"
"It's not just that." Jin Yongseok suddenly moved his body on the sofa. "We also hope to reflect the intimacy between the two families in the cast lineup... What do you think?"
Kim Jong-ming was slightly stunned: "Why, does Minister Kim have any specific ideas about casting?"
"It's true." Kim Yong-seok took a deep breath. "In fact, it's not only based on the symbolic meaning of the cooperation between the two companies, but also the intention of trying to calm the scene from the beginning... I hope to use two phenomenal actors to lead this work."
"What about?" Kim Jong-ming quietly opened the script in his hand, and then slid his fingers over the names of Do Min-joon and Chi Song-yi.
"How about the heroine, please ask Ms. Jeon Ji-hyun, the most famous company?" Kim Yong-seok asked tentatively.
"I think it's pretty good." Kim Jong-ming replied without hesitation. "It's probably because her husband is a pseudo-second generation real young man. Senior Jun Ji-hyun has become a career-oriented person after marrying into a wealthy family. I just want to tell her. I think I won't dislike TV series."
"That's good."
"Where is the male protagonist?" Jin Zhongming narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party.
Kim Yongseok's eyes flashed.
Now, Kim Jong-ming immediately understood. He nodded slightly to express his understanding, but then he pondered for some reason and did not answer for a long time. Jin Yongxie knew something was wrong and did not dare to speak again, so he had to sit there quietly waiting for the other party to speak.
Just like this, I don’t know how long it took, and people outside the house could hardly find the nonsense of chatting, and a slight sigh rang out of the office:
"For this matter... let's forget it!"
"Yes!" No matter what, Kim Yongseok nodded quickly.
"The key to being self-aware. If you work with senior Jun Ji-hyun, I may not be able to enter the drama, and if you cannot enter the drama, it may have an impact on the quality of the TV series." Kim Jong-ming explained helplessly. "As for the heroine who is suitable for me, we will feel a little overwhelmed when we tell the truth... This is better, Minister Kim sits for a moment and I will call you to see someone. It is necessary to show my sincerity and our cube attitude on this person."
"Then please, please." Jin Yongseok nodded again and said yes.
In this way, with the conversation between the two, fifteen minutes later, Bae Yongjun appeared in the office with a confused look on his face, Kim Soo-hyun, a disciple who was paralyzed.
"How?" Kim Jong-ming raised his hand and pointed at the facial paralysis behind Bae Yong-jun.
"So that's it." Jin Yongseok had already realized it. "This person is indeed quite suitable."
"Yes." Kim Jong-ming suddenly stood up with a smile. "So Hyun, although her status has not yet reached its level, the just-passed "The Great Hidden" has made its first idol movie, which is in popularity. In addition, it is young, handsome, good figure, and more importantly, it is superb acting and able to endure loneliness... The so-called "I'm not given my name but I've got it!"
Jin Yongxie nodded repeatedly, without any objection or abnormality.
"Is this...a TV series?" Bae Yongjun reacted at this time no matter how stupid he was.
"Oh." Kim Jong-ming replied calmly. "SBS masterpiece, be sure to invest twelve points! As for cooperating with senior Jeon Ji-hyun, although Soo-hyun is already experienced, this time she is obviously supporting the younger generation, so you must thank them in private."
"Did you hear it?" Bae Yongjun immediately turned around and looked at his student.
"You must do your best in acting, and Senior Jun Ji-hyun will have an attitude and expression." Kim Soo-hyun, who also reacted, was still a little confused, and she seemed to have some questions when she looked at her eyes, but she nodded and agreed quickly at the urging of the teacher.
"That's good." Kim Jong-ming nodded with satisfaction. Kim Soo-hyun is the benefit of not causing trouble or making a rash decision. "Things are basically settled. You can discuss the specific situation yourself in the evening!"
As soon as this said, Kim Yong-seok, who had been sitting in the other party's office for the whole afternoon, immediately stood up. Bae Yong-jun, who had just arrived here, even breathed evenly, immediately took Kim Soo-hyun to say goodbye. Neither side dared to invite Kim Jong-ming to "discuss the specific situation" and have dinner by the way.
But this is also good. Facts have proved that if the person who made SBS afraid of being present, Bae Yong-jun and Kim Yong-seok were still very open to the evening. Even in Kim Soo-hyun's opinion, his teacher's presumptuousness tonight had already felt a bit out of style.
"Teacher!" After the dinner, Kim Soo-hyun carefully helped Bae Yong-jun into the back seat of the other party's car, and then asked tentatively. "Are we going to your house now?"
"Go to my house." Bae Yongjun waved his hand casually and signaled that he was fine.
Kim Soo Hyun then breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately came to the driver's seat and started the car.
"I didn't drink a sip of wine before?" After the car started, I wondered if I had remembered safety issues, but Blind Pei suddenly asked.
"Oh." Kim Soo Hyun quickly answered. "I didn't drink a sip of wine. I thought I might have to send you back to the teacher."
"Teacher... Hum!" Pei Yongjun, who was slapped on his face with a 70-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-something-a-kind-to-shou-ki, suddenly sneered when he heard this. "What teacher? Have you formally admired me, just like Mr. Kim Jong-ming did to Senior An Shengji?"
Kim Soo-hyun didn't say a word... This is not because he was calm, but because he really didn't know how to reply at this time. At this time, it would be more appropriate to pretend that the other party was saying drunken words?
"We are essentially the relationship between the boss and its artists." Although Kim Soo-hyun has put on his back, Baby Pei still narrowed his eyes and continued his drunken words. "But, a smart boss must have a vision, and both the upper and lower sides must have a vision. For the upper, you must see who is the one who can hold his thighs; for the middle, you must see who is a good business partner and who is a malicious business competitor; for the lower, you must see who is his ace employee. Then? Then, for these really useful people, especially those in the middle and below, you must show appropriate emotional offensive... For example, I say to the outside world that we are teachers and students! For example, Li Xiuman asked almost all artists of S.m to call themselves teachers! These things are essentially the same."
Kim Soo Hyun still didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to pretend to be facial paralysis.
"Speaking of it, I still remember the first time I saw you." Bae Yongjun continued to preach with his forehead. "I really can't remember which crew it was... But I remember you had a headband that day, right?"
"Yes, it's hard for you to remember this." Finally, it was a few easy and harmless topics, and Kim Soo-hyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "That hairband was actually forced. It got up late that day, and my hair was a little curly..." At this point, I might feel that the other party is in a bad state, and I don't feel like I'm always depressed, so Kim Soo-hyun thought for a while and finally added more teasing words. "What, did you like me that day because I was very handsome with my hairband?"
"I don't like this one." Bae Yongjun smiled indeed. It seemed that he was really drunk, otherwise how could he be laughed at by such an insincere joke. "I liked it at that time, exactly what you looked at at that time."
"Yeah?"
"Yes!" Pei Xiaozi replied proudly. "How old were you at that time? So that face looked very immature, but at the same time, your eyes looked very mature, so I immediately fell in love with you! I knew at that time that you must be a very good seedling, because your tender face and mature eyes can allow an actor to calmly switch between roles of different ages."
"So that's it." Kim Soo-hyun continued to respond perfunctorily. By the way, any one of them could get the chicken soup that was "blind men know jade" on the table for an hour. Now he just wants to send the drunk teacher or boss as soon as possible, in short, the one in the back seat will be sent back quickly.
"Of course, more importantly, the mature eyes appear on the face of young people, which has a great practical significance for a boss..." Without caring about his students' thoughts at all, Blind Pei continued to pull on himself. "When that is, you have no foundation and can still understand the worldly ways, this is amazing. Unlike some impetuous young artists, they are talented, talented and lucky, but they will cause trouble together. When they encounter some people who don't know how to be grateful, they will still negotiate with the company to share the conditions... When I saw your eyes, I knew that you are not such a person. You are destined to become a great person. The younger generation is real... uh, the second!"
Bae Bae was talking behind him, and because he was drunk too much, he was talking intermittently, making the car full of alcohol, which made Kim Soo-hyun go crazy. As the other party continued to speak, he finally put down his usual protective look and couldn't help but curl his lips. By the way, now he would rather accompany Jeon Ji-hyun and Zhang Tae-young (director of "You from the Star") just now, those people who drank a few more drinks to avoid it, and they would save themselves from suffering in this car.
"Why, look at you like this, do you think I'm very annoyed?" At this moment, suddenly, Bae Yongjun stuck his head out with the front seat.
"It's nothing." Kim Soo-hyun, who was still thinking about it just now, suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"So, So Hyun." I don't know if it's an illusion, but Bae Yongjun, who was lying on the back of the front seat, suddenly became clear. "I said so much, just to tell you that being able to do well in this fame and fortune market is important, but if no one spreads the field for you and spreads the sky for you, then no matter how good your ideas are, it will be meaningless... The biggest advantage of you is that you have the ability and know that people and animals are harmless, so that everyone can accept you. Of course, the most important thing is to make the people above feel at ease with you and be willing to let you survive under their wings."
"I will never forget the teacher's kindness in my life!" Kim Soo-hyun's heart moved slightly, and she no longer dared to treat the other party as a drunk, and her tone became much more serious.
"It's not me..." As he said that, Blind Pei lay back comfortably. "I have indeed supported you a lot before... Over the years, since I discovered you, I won't talk about the regular training and packaging of various brokerage companies. I will find someone to explain current affairs news to you, help you create a friendly public opinion environment, take you to visit the network of the TV station, and give you the opportunity to find movies... It should be my credit, and it's also my credit for you to say that you will lose the sky!"
"yes!"
"What is it?" Blind Pei narrowed his eyes again. "But now, these are all over. Some things are of course useful, but many things are meaningless to you. People have to look forward after all."
To be continued...
