It only takes about two hours to fly directly from Tokyo to Seoul, and Rin Chihara set off the next afternoon and arrived in Korea in the evening, and the leading team, in addition to his secretary and translator, also included his girlfriend and three disciples, Michiko and Konoe Hitomi, who were entangled endlessly, insisting on fulfilling their responsibilities as disciples and serving the master all the way when he went away.

Chihara Rin thought with his ass and knew that they were bullshitting, but he was usually very talkative at home, and he couldn't be fierce at all, plus he was noisy by them, and then he thought that it was not a bad thing to let the disciples broaden their horizons, so he reluctantly agreed, and even considered that he brought Mei Chiko and Hitomi with him, if he didn't call the third disciple Holy Son, it might make her feel faintly ostracized, and finally simply brought her with him.

It should be good for her too. As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, go to distant places to see, and feel more about different lives and characters, which is also a good accumulation for her, a disciple who is interested in becoming a screenwriter.

As soon as they left the customs at Gimpo International Airport, they were warmly welcomed by SBS, and first held a reception banquet, which was attended by SBS executives, and then found that he also brought his family, and immediately changed his accommodation to the Westin Chosun Hotel - a five-star hotel, located in the bustling area of Seoul, but in the middle of nowhere, next door is the Joseon Palace, whether it is leisure and entertainment or sightseeing scenery is very convenient.

By the time the banquet was over, it was already quite late, but Hitomi Konoe and Michiko were still very excited, first wandering around the oversized luxury suite for a while, and then running to the viewing balcony of the large suite to start watching the night view of Seoul, and Ningzi was also interested in looking into the distance from the window, and from time to time he said a few words of laughter with the Holy Son - this is a corner of the Joseon Royal Palace, and the dark shadow of Gwanak Mountain can be faintly seen, both of them like cultural monuments and natural landscapes.

They were elated, and Rin Chihara was happy. He is not very demanding on the quality of life, and when the people around him are happy, he will be satisfied with life - only the career belongs to him.

Ningzi and the four of them are here to play, and there is nothing serious, but Chihara Rin has it, and after getting up the next day, he directly led his subordinates to SBS as agreed.

Do business first, if you have time, then accompany your girlfriend, anyway, he accompanied his girlfriend to Seoul, he should be able to be considered a good boyfriend, right?

SBS was restructured and restructured twice, and its offices are quite scattered. The administrative headquarters is located in Bukjan-dong, where the board of directors is located, and the TV headquarters in charge of overall broadcasting is in Mokdong, which is the administrative division of Korea, which is equivalent to the town of Bon, or the sub-district of Hwaja.

Music programs are held in Dengcundong, where there is a singing stage and so on. The TV Drama Bureau, the Variety Show Bureau, the Educational Program Bureau, and the Children's Program Bureau are all all in the SBS Production Center in Ilsan, a satellite city of Seoul - newly built, probably considering that the area is too large, and the cost of building here is relatively low compared to the urban area.

The person in charge of docking with Chihara Rin is an executive director of the TV headquarters, and I met him at the reception banquet last night, named Park Hyun-myung, in his forties, with a traditional Korean appearance, a big cake face and thin eyes, and his attitude is courteous.

After the two sides greeted each other at the gate, Rin Chihara was ready to go inside, but Park Hyun-myung turned to the side and introduced him again: "This is Miss Kim so-mi, the advisory supervisor of the company. ”

Chihara Rin was slightly surprised, the words of greeting just now were translated by the translator he brought, this woman stood next to Park Hyun-myung, he thought it was a translation from SBS, but he didn't expect it to be a supervisor - the rank of a large Korean company, generally a special director, executive director, consultant supervisor, minister, acting minister, deputy director, and head of the office, this woman has not yet reached the age of 30 and sat in the position of the company's consultant supervisor, and it is estimated that the background is extraordinary.

And she appeared here, probably on behalf of the SBS headquarters to observe the situation or supervise the work, but Chihara Rin didn't pay attention to it. The deal between the two parties has been reached, and he will naturally abide by the spirit of the contract, and he does not plan to be perfunctory and lazy, and try his best to help SBS increase the ratings, so there is no overseer.

He just looked at Jin Xiumei, seeing that she had good facial features, a graceful figure, and was quite beautiful, and he was a little suspicious that the other party had plastic surgery, but he smiled very gently: "Miss Jin, hello, I am going to be taken care of during this time." ”

Kim so-mi bowed lightly without waiting for someone else to translate, and replied in fluent Japanese: "If anything, we have bothered you." ”

Park Hyun-myung explained with a smile: "Supervisor Kim is a top student who graduated from Ewha Womans University and was an exchange student at Kyoto University, and she is fluent in Japanese. ”

Chihara Rin nodded with a smile, and didn't say anything about it, and went in directly under the guidance of Park Hyun-mi, and as soon as he stepped into the door of the SBS production center, his aura changed instantly, and the gentle smile slowly disappeared, his waist was straight, his expression was serious, his eyebrows were slightly pressed down, and his eyes were sharp, like a carnivorous beast stepping into the jungle, just standing beside him felt a little chilling.

Jin Xiumei, who originally had a reserved smile on her face, was also in a trance, and her steps actually stopped.

Before Chihara Rin was personable, young and gentle, she thought this was a scholar-type character, and she was still wondering how such a person might be a good writer and a good screenwriter, but how to become the director of the production bureau, now I understand a little bit - this guy's aura is so strong, giving people a strange sense that he should have the final say, no wonder he has made a great name in just four years.

Sure enough, no one can look good, and there is no vanity under fame......

Park Hyun-myung was also stunned for a moment, a little unable to adapt, and after walking a few steps, he felt that Chihara Rin had changed people, but he immediately reacted and began to introduce the itinerary to Chihara Rin: "Chihara Rin, we plan to ask you to give a speech to all the staff of the production center first, and then at noon is the welcome dinner of our production center, you can take a little rest after the meal, and we will ...... again"

Chihara Rin observed the environment left and right, waved his hand and said softly: "Representative Park, there is no need for these red tapes, I am not here to be a guest." If you don't mind, please give me all the ratings reports after the SBS reorganization, as well as reports on the composition of personnel, equipment, budget, etc., I would like to see these first. ”

He himself has investigated, but now the network is not developed, and the collected information is fragmented and not systematic at all, and knowing oneself and knowing the other can survive a hundred battles, and it is necessary to carefully understand the current situation of SBS before starting a war with KBS and MBC.

Park Hyun-myung hesitated, this is all a process that has been arranged, and it is not appropriate to change it suddenly, but it is really said that he directly vetoed the opinion of Rin Chihara, and inexplicably felt a little difficult to speak, and he was stuck for seven or eight seconds before he reluctantly said: "This ...... I'll have someone prepare for it right away, but at least I'll meet with the PDs of each bureau, right?"

Rin Chihara thought about it and felt that it made sense, but he didn't insist on his own thoughts, and smiled directly: "Then meet with the PDs first, and let's communicate." ”

PD is the highest position in the Korean program group, and it can generally be called a director, but it is actually a hybrid of production + director. This should be the backbone of the SBS production center, just as the production bureau generally believes that production talents are the most reliable elite force, and it is necessary to be familiar.

He agreed, but Park Hyun-myung inexplicably felt a sense of relief, and said in a loud voice: "I'll arrange it right away, I'll arrange it right away." ”

Rin Chihara nodded lightly to indicate that he understood, and then looked around quietly, looking around. SBS should be very well funded, this production center is very magnificent, and in terms of hardware conditions, it is a few streets stronger than Kanto United - it is said that this TV station is more broken than the other, and it is basically ranked according to the degree of history.

Looking at it all the way, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that SBS was quite rich, and I directly put my heart at it.

As long as there is no big problem with the funds, he is not afraid of anything else.

............

The public lecture that was originally held in the auditorium was canceled, and the dinner party was also canceled, and the PDs were a little confused, thinking that Rin Chihara would not come, but they didn't expect to see him soon-Rin Chihara planned to visit the production center by the way, so he simply watched it one game at a time.

The organizational structure of South Korea and Japan TV stations is actually similar, that is, the name has been changed, and the Kanto joint TV drama department corresponds to the TV drama bureau of the SBS production center, and other departments are similar, while TV dramas generally have a large investment, take a long time, and have high creative requirements, which is often regarded as the signboard of a TV station, and his first stop is the TV drama bureau where he goes.

However, as soon as he sat down in the first guest seat in the conference room, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

It wasn't like this before.,Last night the top management of the SBS headquarters was very enthusiastic.,The attitude of the senior cadres of the TV headquarters is okay.,But when it comes to these front-line PDs,I don't feel any sense of welcome.,The eyes that look over are full of scrutiny.,Some people even have a little bit of hostility.。

Rin Chihara also understands this, and SBS headquarters brought him in, which has already shown that he does not trust the production center. In other words, SBS's senior management feels that their PDs are too incompetent, and the shows they make are not good-looking, and they can't be loved by the audience, and they must make changes - whoever is perceived as incompetent probably can't be happy, and it's normal for these PDs to have this kind of reaction.

Sure enough, before the director of the TV drama bureau finished talking about the scene of asking Rin Chihara to guide the work, some people began to express dissatisfaction, first said a few words in a weird manner, and then showed an unruly style, and began to argue with the director, staring at each other, his voice was extremely high, and it was unpleasant to look at.

As a close neighbor of China and a once cultural export power in Asia, the people of Chihara Rin still have a little understanding of the national characteristics of Korea.

The ancient Joseon country is small, it can be said that the standard of poor mountains and bad waters, the natural environment is quite harsh, so that the people here from generation to generation slowly cultivated a tenacious and stubborn nature, for example, the national flower of South Korea is "Infinite Flower", the scientific name hibiscus, open thank you open, endless, the flower language is stubborn and tenacious.

But also because of geographical reasons, this land was extremely underdeveloped in transportation and information in ancient times, so that stubbornness and tenacity slowly developed into arrogance and arrogance - the nature of a frog in the well, and he accepted his own death.

In a sense, people here are generally a little ignorant.

In modern Korea, it has become a peninsular country, and the land has become even narrower and narrower. If there is any wind and grass, it can spread throughout the country in an instant, and there is also a lot of war pressure - South Korea can hardly talk about strategic depth, and at most two major defeats will have to be collectively finished.

Therefore, even in ordinary affairs, the Korean people have a strong sense of crisis, anxiety and anxiety, which is reflected in their behavior, that is, impatience - they are very anxious to do everything, very short-sighted, and very eager to complete the battle, for which they do not hesitate to play tricks, cheat and be a scoundrel.

Just like the brain circuit of SBS's top management, the development of TV stations requires a long accumulation period, even if the Kanto United has a history of more than 20 years from its predecessor, but SBS's top management is in a hurry to produce results, and it has not been smooth for three or four years, so they have spent a lot of money to get him here - in fact, SBS can develop without him, and five or six years later, through MBC infighting and general strikes, SBS has obtained a large number of experienced talents and audiences, and it has basically stabilized.

This is a typical impatience, not wanting to accumulate in a down-to-earth manner, just wanting to be opportunistic.

Of course, this impatience is not all shortcomings, such as South Korea has also been devastated by the financial turmoil, but it has crossed quickly, recovered quickly, and later generations have taken a lot of advantage in the world by opportunism, especially in sports events, and have won a lot of honors, which is very proud of the whole people for a while.

Now all this in front of me is also a reflection of Korean characteristics, the unruly one is speaking faster and faster, although he is arguing, but it really looks like he is arguing, and his expression is becoming more and more unbeaten, which seems very rude.

In Huaxia, even if you are dissatisfied, you will not do it in front of the guests. In the face of the strong, at least superficial respect, and even kneel down to flatter, and then secretly seek to be restrained, but when I arrived in South Korea, I was excited when I encountered something, and I was about to protest, and the meaning of rejection was very obvious.

This matter can only be said that a country has its own characteristics, and these PDs probably know that it is useless to protest, but it is necessary to be horizontal, show yourself, and show a tough spirit, otherwise it will not be happy - in fact, it has not developed to the point of collectively shaving your head and showing your ambition, cutting your little finger to express resistance, and self-immolation demonstration, which has already saved face for the guests.

Chihara Rin listened silently for a while, but he became more and more incomprehensible, he is now also learning Korean by himself, but at present, he is only at the level of asking where the toilet is on a daily basis, and it is not as good as Ninko and Michiko. At least Ningzi received a family-style elite education, can speak four Chinese, Michiko was also trained in Chinese, Korean, English and other Chinese when she was a child, she is not very good at writing, and can make do with daily conversations.

He whispered directly to the translator next to him, "What are they talking about?"

The translator of Kanto United was a little hesitant, these stupid PDs didn't know the cannibalistic nature of the Chihara Rin, and he could know it as an employee of the Kanto United, not to mention that under the strict rank difference, he didn't dare to say some rude language to the big boss, even if it was paraphrased, he didn't dare to do it, and Jin Xiumei, who was sitting next to Chihara Rinren, answered, and said euphemistically: "That is the head of Song Youxian, and he is questioning you on behalf of a part of the PD." ”

Rin Chihara became interested, turned his head and asked with a smile, "What do you question me?"

Kim so-mi behaved with a good demeanor, and her expression was very flat, or perhaps she was used to seeing this kind of argument in her daily life, and replied in a low voice: "There are mainly two aspects. On the one hand, there are some doubts about your age and qualifications. In our country, it takes at least 10 years to become a 'creative screenwriter' and five years to be a 'structural screenwriter', but you ......"

Chihara Rin nodded, it turns out that my age and qualifications are only suitable for miscellaneous work in the crew in Korea, let alone instructing others, and I can't be the leader.

He can understand that front-line workers often care about these things and pay more attention to their status, not to mention that he is still an outsider, nor is he the direct supervisor of these PDs, let alone the senior management of SBS.

He then smiled and asked, "What about the other side?"

Jin Xiumei carefully observed his expression, seeing that he didn't mean to lose his temper at all, she was a little surprised in her heart, but her face was impassive and smiled: "On the other hand, I am questioning your identity as a foreigner." Mr. Song You-hyun thinks that you have no understanding of Korean culture and customs, nor do you understand the preferences of Korean audiences, and although he also recognizes your ratings achievements in Yueben, in this case, he feels that your guidance is meaningless, not very helpful, and maybe even harmful. ”

Rin Chihara nodded silently again, feeling that this article still made some sense, and glanced at the "debate" scene again.

Kim so-mi, who was sent by the agency, sat next to him, obviously with no intention of interfering, and should have been just an observer;

Park Hyun-myung sent by the TV headquarters played a round there, occasionally reprimanded twice, asking Song Youxian and other PDs to be honest, while the director of the TV drama bureau was a little angry, but it shouldn't be that Song Youxian's group of PDs said it wrong, probably just felt that they couldn't manage their subordinates well in front of the senior cadres of the company and the TV headquarters, and they were a little embarrassed.

It's kind of interesting, this temporary job doesn't seem to be as easy to do as I imagined!
