Chapter 412: How can you do this without a team
The meeting of the TV drama bureau broke up unhappily, and the PDs of SBS TV station felt very insulted that the company was inexplicably looking for a foreigner to guide their work, and reacted very violently, directly expressing various dissatisfaction, and the situation in other bureaus was similar, even if there was no Song Youxian's performance was very obvious, looking at Chihara Rinren's eyes were also full of doubts and disdain - we don't have good grades, but we have our dignity, and we don't need you to do much.
Kim so-mi silently observed all the way, thinking about how she would deal with this situation if she was a Rin of Chihara.
It may be a good idea to walk away, so that the company will come forward to put pressure even for the sake of face, and the TV headquarters will be forced to repair the PDs in the production center, at least so that they can start to cooperate on the surface.
Of course, it would be better if he could shake his body and be full of overbearing, and to put it mildly, he would use words to subdue these PDs.
But to her disappointment, Rin Chihara didn't do anything, his eyes were flat to indifferent all the way, like watching a farce, and when he encountered a bureau with a relatively good attitude, he would also say a few words about the scene, and when he encountered a bureau with a poor attitude, he simply didn't say a word, just communicated with the staff he brought.
After going through the bureaus of the SBS production center, he simply went into the office with lunch and began to read the ratings report and all aspects of the production center.
Park Hyun-myung was a little embarrassed and left quickly, but Kim so-mi had been with him, but his expectations for Chihara Rin had been lowered by more than half - this person was not supported by the backbone of the production center, and it seemed that it was impossible to expect him to open the ratings, and the council really made a bad move this time.
Fortunately, there are still many high-quality programs in the Kanto Union itself, and it is not a loss to exchange golf programs.
She thinks that Chihara Rin can only look at the information now, write a written report, put forward some suggestions for the rectification of the production center, and then go home after a few days here - foreigners, fighting away, it is difficult to perform if he is not familiar with the place, and he can understand the situation if he can't open the situation, and he can't be blamed for it.
However, she was drinking barley tea there, and suddenly found that Rin Chihara looked at the report with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Mr. Chihara, do you have any experience?"
Rin Chihara couldn't help but smile when he saw that in SBS's ratings summary over the past year, the highest-rated program was only 16.21% of the time-sharing average, and the overall average was only 9.03%.
This is the golden age of TV programs, with an average rating of only 9, which is really embarrassing, although it is a new TV station, but I don't know where those PDs have the confidence to feel that they are bullish and don't need help from others at all, and they really deserve to be a stick - on the one hand, the stick refers to the mallet, that is, ginseng, which is abundant in Goryeo; I don't know the meaning of the sky, but it's really vivid when it is used on Koreans, and I don't know which wonderful person came up with it before.
He couldn't help but smile, but he couldn't say it directly to Kim so-mi, a Korean. If you really say it, it is easy to be beaten if it is small, and it is easy to affect the cooperative relationship between the two companies, which is very inappropriate.
He could only smile and shake his head: "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”
Jin Xiumei always felt that his smile was a little strange, but it was inconvenient to continue to ask, so she hesitated and smiled: "You should have thought of something interesting, I thought you would be in a bad mood." ”
Rin Chihara wondered, "Why am I in a bad mood?"
"Just Song PD they ......"
Rin Chihara suddenly said, "That, there's nothing to be angry about." After a pause, he looked at the puzzled look on Jin Xiumei's face and explained with a smile, "It's useless to be angry, we have to rely on grades in the end." As long as there are results, they have to accept if they are not convinced, and if they can't produce results, they are not convinced, so they ...... There's really no need. ”
Just now, he could take advantage of the situation to suppress people, such as throwing a tantrum on the spot, accusing the SBS production center of not cooperating with the overall strategic situation of the two TV stations, but that could not solve the fundamental problem, and it was easy for SBS executives to underestimate him and shake their confidence in the cooperation between the two sides - can't even a bunch of green PDs be even? Can this person do it? Are we hiring the wrong person?
It's not good to take advantage of the situation to suppress people, and there is no need to use the situation to suppress people, as long as the results are enough.
Ratings are the lifeblood of a TV station, and there's nothing better and faster to solve the problem than getting high ratings. As long as he makes a trump card show, Song Youxian's kind of goods that don't know the height of the sky are not worth mentioning at all, and he doesn't even need to say anything at that time, as long as he dares to express his dissatisfaction at all, the director can come and kill him in person at the speed of light.
Isn't this a hundred times stronger than losing your temper and taking advantage of the situation to oppress someone?
Rin Chihara said it very lightly, and he was full of confidence in his results, after all, he didn't panic when he had a drama in his hand, which made Jin Xiumei stunned - this is the confidence of a strong man, right?
Yi Gao can be bold, and he is not so arrogant that he disdains to argue, and this man has a bit of this meaning.
It feels ...... It's kind of remarkable.
Anyway, it seems to be a great person like Song Youxian.
She couldn't find anything to say for a while, so she was silent, and Chihara Rin didn't care about her, and then looked through the information and slowly determined.
SBS's program format is basically copied from KBS and MBC, or should it be said that it is an imitation. This is not a big problem, people who have just entered the industry basically have the step of imitating the pioneers, but the artists that KBS and MBC can contact are not of the same level as SBS, and when compared with the two, SBS is particularly clumsy.
In the final analysis, the problem is that SBS's production center is too young and does not have the support of well-known artists - artists also have to develop, except for low-level miscellaneous hairs and newcomers who may come to SBS to mix up some money, as long as you are a little famous to see the ratings and ratings response of SBS, of course, KBS and MBC programs are preferred.
Then, the ratings of SBS's program are naturally even worse, and even worse artists don't want to come, even if the premium is high, they have to weigh it repeatedly, which has become a vicious circle - it is a big price to kidnap well-known artists, and it is also a big money to do small things, and the cost performance is extremely low.
If you want to open up the situation, you must break this vicious circle, boost the momentum of SBS, and let artists look at SBS squarely and regain confidence.
Rin Chihara sat there for more than two hours, except for turning the page and taking the documents, his butt didn't move, he was very focused, and after straightening out his thoughts, he began to study the hardware of SBS again, but he looked strange and looked strange, looked up and hesitated, feeling that it was more convenient to communicate with Jin Xiumei, who knew Japanese, so he asked directly: "Is the information incomplete, why is there no screenwriter in the personnel list?"
Kim so-mi is not from a PD, but she works in a TV station, and she still knows common sense, so she quickly explained: "Korean TV has no screenwriters, and the screenwriters are all hired by PD himself." ”
"No?" Rin Chihara was a little incredulous for a moment, "Do you need to hire yourself to do the show?"
"Yes. Kim so-mi confirmed, and then gave Rin Chihara a a science popularization.
There is a historical reason why Korean television does not keep "writers" or screenwriters in the production center, but they are all hired temporarily.
Television programs in South Korea were originally led by a PD, who was a director, producer, and screenwriter, writing their own scripts, liaising with actors and guests, managing shooting, and even post-editing. But with the development of the times, the audience's tastes are becoming more and more diar, and the competition for ratings is becoming more and more fierce, and these PDs who wear many hats are a little overwhelmed.
As a result, some PDs with bright brains began to think of crooked tricks.
For example, if the writing work is a bit complicated, can you find a student to work part-time to help me deal with it?
For example, if I'm running out of inspiration, do I have to find someone to help me come up with an idea?
For another example, the lines are always a little stiff, how about finding a liberal arts student to help polish them?
The fierce competitive environment leads to the division of labor, which is inevitable in any industry, and PDs do feel that someone needs to be responsible for handling the text work, but the problem is that there is no screenwriter's salary in the production budget, what can I do?
Then you have to hire a schoolgirl or a housewife to do odd jobs!
South Korea has never had a women's liberation movement, the atmosphere of male superiority and inferiority is very strong, the price of hiring women is super cheap and you can call and drink casually, and by the way, it can also solve the problem that the crew is too busy with work and the staff is not easy to find a wife, which is more cost-effective.
So in the early 80s, Korean TV began to hire young women to work in the crew, and let these young women be responsible for filling in the content and perfecting the details on the basis of the original script.
But it's rare to get new ideas that respond well to TV shows, and when everyone has a similar program format, the details begin to make a difference between success and failure. Korean PDs soon found that the unique and delicate perspective of women helped the program a lot, and some ideas from the perspective of women were also quite novel to TV audiences, and as a result, these female screenwriters became more and more important in the crew, but no matter how important they were, they were temporary workers, not to mention that the wages and benefits could not be guaranteed, and sometimes the creativity was plagiarized by unscrupulous PDs and drove away.
In the early 90s, the screenwriters couldn't stand it anymore and organized a large-scale strike, which almost stopped more than half of the TV dramas and eighty and a half variety shows at that time, and then forced the TV stations and PDs to start compromising and established a labor security system for screenwriters.
As for the fact that there is still no screenwriter on Korean TV, that is, the cooperation mechanism has been formed, and the PDs are ready to make a show and use their own connections to find a big screenwriter, and the big screenwriter will bring his own team, that is, bring a string of her schoolgirls to work in the crew, and leave collectively after the completion of the show, and then go to other crews.
In the end, it became what it is now. Male PD, female screenwriter (writer), and PD is mostly responsible for handling all preparations and broadcasting-related affairs, but female screenwriters have begun to control the main creative power, and after writing the script, they can also point fingers at the shooting, which is equivalent to an alternative screenwriter responsibility system.
When Jin Xiumei's science popularization was finished, Rin Chihara was a little stunned. It's no wonder that SBS will desperately imitate the programs of KBS and MBC, it turns out that not only can't get well-known artists, but even excellent screenwriters can't get it, so naturally the level of innovation is not good, and they can only do what they do depending on what others do.
He really didn't expect SBS to have its own screenwriting team, and there were not even small screenwriters, which was a bit embarrassing.
Korean screenwriters sound like a mess, they are all a creative screenwriter with more than ten years of qualifications, with two or three structural screenwriters with more than five years of qualifications, and then six or seven detailed screenwriters who have just entered the industry, everyone works together and walks together, making it difficult for people to form a screenwriter team by themselves - he must be the main screenwriter, but other creative screenwriters will not give him the team, that is one of the costs of people's meals.
There are very few screenwriters in the Kanto United who know Korean, and there are certainly no Koreans who have a deep understanding of Korean society, so they can't handle the details alone, and they must still be based on local screenwriters.
But how can this be done without a team?
