"Advertisers?"

Shen Zhengyuan was stunned at first, and he didn't understand the relationship between the extension of the TV series and advertisers, but then he quickly reacted.

In the final analysis, it is still for the sake of interests, and if the TV series can be extended, the more money advertisers will invest, and the more TV stations will naturally earn.

In this regard, Shen Zhengyuan actually sees it very clearly, also as the president of the TV station. The angle he stands on naturally cannot be the position of the audience or even the actors, holding the naïve idea that a TV series is a TV series, and product placement will only affect the audience's investment in the plot.

TV stations shoot TV series just to make money, even if they have the best original intention, if they can't get effective income, even if it is a TV series with a good reputation, it will be a loss in the eyes of the TV station. From this point of view, TV series are a little different from variety shows.

Variety shows pay attention to long-term income, that is, the so-called long-term fishing for big fish, even if the ratings of the initial program are not ideal, through continuous broadcasting, there will be a day when it will rise. In addition, compared with TV dramas, the production and shooting of variety shows are often only one-tenth or even one percent of their financial investment, so TV stations can completely produce programs in a wide net in order to seek greater benefits.

However, TV dramas are not good, except for special daily dramas, most TV dramas are still based on short production cycles and large investments.

If you can't get back the investment within ten or twenty episodes of the TV series, it is actually extremely difficult for the TV station to break even through the post-copyright.

SBS has invested a lot in the drama "Dragon Bayi", just inviting Kim Tae-hee and Joo Won to partner in the TV station is enough to see how much Kim Young-sub attaches importance to this drama, and completely regards "Dragon Bayi" as a free throw.

Now that the ratings of "Dragon Bayi" have come out, they are beyond expectations.

Now, with the current ratings trend, it is only a matter of time before the investment costs are recovered.

Therefore, what Kim Young-sub hopes for next is naturally that the TV series can be extended as much as possible, because the longer the TV series is, the more advertising fees the TV station will earn in theory, which represents how correct his cooperation decision is.

It's just that what I said above is actually the benefits that SBS or Kim Young-sub can unilaterally get from "Dragon Ba Yi".

And Shen Zhengyuan, as the screenwriter of this drama, is not only greatly restrained in terms of the crew, but also has little to do with the money made by the TV station.

From a certain point of view, Shen Zhengyuan completely lost to his grandmother's house.

Even, if he had been able to make a decision and leave the script of "Dragon Bayi" for his own TV station to shoot, maybe Al Jazeera would be making a lot of money now.

Of course, this is also just a pipe dream.

In fact, judging from the current size of Al Jazeera, it is impossible to have the funds and energy to shoot a TV series as big as "Dragon Bayi".

In terms of actors alone, don't look at the time when he was in the crew, Kim Tae-hee and Zhou Won were polite to him, but this is because of his identity as a screenwriter.

Switching to Al Jazeera's invitation to produce a TV series, whether the two agreed to star or not is a huge problem.

If Shen Zhengyuan is just a simple screenwriter, relying on the popularity and achievements of "Dragon Bayi" at present, it is not too difficult to ensure that he has a worry-free future in the future. But the key is that Shen Zhengyuan is not a simple screenwriter, no matter how good the ratings of the TV series are, it is impossible for him to really change careers to write scripts.

Therefore, how to obtain benefits for all of Al Jazeera in the success of "Dragon Bayi" this time has become the focus of Shen Zhengyuan's consideration.

You SBS have eaten so much meat, you have to give Al Jazeera a sip of soup.

The previous big bunch of words seems like a long one.

But in fact, the conversion time is only about ten seconds.

Changed to a reaction, it was just Kim Young-sub who explained the reason for prolonging the episode, and Shen Zhengyuan lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds.

"Minister Jin, you said so much," in his mind, his thoughts spun quickly, and Shen Zhengyuan deliberately lengthened the tone and replied: "However, it's mostly from SBS's point of view, but don't forget, in fact, the TV series "Dragon Bayi" is a TV series jointly cooperated by SBS and my two radio stations, Al Jazeera. ”

"This ......"

Shen Zhengyuan's sudden questioning made Kim Young-sub a little stunned.

Although the drama "Dragon Bayi" is a gimmick of public production by two TV stations, in fact, SBS has great control over this TV series, not only in the deployment of crew members, but also in the subsequent advertising revenue, SBS itself negotiates, Shen Zhengyuan's Al Jazeera has very little weight in these negotiations, and it can even be said to be dispensable.

caused Kim Young-sub to think for a while that the other party was purely just trying to shoot the drama "Dragon Bayi".

However, it was only after the other party brought up the topic of cooperation that he reacted. Shen Zhengyuan is not a pure screenwriter after all, and naturally it is impossible to think just for the sake of the TV series.

If it is said that earlier, the ratings of "Dragon Bayi" have not yet come out, perhaps the ratings are not as successful as expected. Kim Young-sub's attitude may be tougher, as the director of SBS's TV drama, there are many reasons to shirk in the face of Sim Jung-won, the director of the TV station who created the script.

However, now that the TV series has good ratings, SBS has clearly noticed the performance of the TV series at the moment and the benefits it brings to the TV station.

Then, if something goes wrong with "Dragon Bayi" in the future, or something makes trouble in the script, if SBS wants to blame it, it will obviously find him, the party who was in charge of the negotiation of the TV series at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Kim Young-sub's face suddenly became ugly.

On the other side, Shen Jung-won has been observing Kim Young-sub's reaction.

Seeing the other party's sudden silence, he thought that the time was almost up, and it would not be very good for both sides to force it any longer, so he immediately spoke: "Minister Jin, what you said, about the extension of the episodes of the TV series, in fact, it is not really impossible, although it is impossible to extend the TV series by four episodes, but the two episodes add two more episodes to the plot originally scheduled for sixteen episodes and position eighteen episodes, I can still do it." ”

"Yes. ”

Hearing that Shen Zhengyuan on the other side suddenly said an answer that could prolong the episode, Kim Young-sub's face softened significantly.

At least, if the TV series can be successfully extended, he will have an explanation for SBS.

"Of course, Minister Kim, you should also know my position and the original reason why I wanted to work with SBS to shoot a TV series in the first place......

"President Shen, you mean?"

"I hope that after 'Dragon Bayi', SBS will be able to help me prepare a TV series that can be filmed within the scope of my ability, and in exchange I will also agree to the request for the extension of the TV series. ”
