"A documentary about Infinite Challenge?"

Unclear about the real reason why Sim Jung-won made the documentary, Kim Tae-ho was obviously somewhat persuaded by his words.

Recently, "Infinite Challenge" is about to shoot 400 episodes, and for any variety show, it is a thing worth feeling that it can shoot 400 episodes. How should the program go after 400 episodes, and how should it be defined in the nine years of ups and downs along the way.

Therefore, Kim Tae-ho has a rare sensibility recently, and he is planning to take advantage of the 400th issue of "Infinite Challenge" to shoot a special episode of Begin Again. Let the members who have been watching the show for nine years stop for a while, take a break for a while, relax their hearts, and reminisce about the past.

And the documentary "Infinite Challenge" proposed by Shen Zhengyuan also gave Kim Tae-ho a completely different inspiration.

In addition to the usual appearance, we can see the impact of the 400 episodes on "Infinite Challenge" from the show. In another form, from the perspective of the documentary, the impact of "Infinite Challenge" on the members and even the production team, what kind of attitude will it be to show in private?

Just imagining it, Kim Tae-ho found it very interesting.

can become the director who has led "Infinite Challenge" for nearly ten years, Kim Tae-ho is obviously not the kind of indecisive character, otherwise he would not have made so many familiar classic specials, perhaps because of the influence of perennial production of programs, he made a decision in his heart, and Kim Tae-ho immediately put it into action.

After thinking about the pros and cons of filming a documentary for the show, Kim Tae-ho nodded decisively: "Shen Zhengyuan, President Shen, your proposal to shoot a documentary for "Infinite Challenge", I thought about it carefully, and I think it is worth trying to see......"

Succeeded? So convinced?

To be honest, Kim Tae-ho nodded so easily and agreed, which was a bit unexpected by Shen Zhengyuan, he originally thought that it would take a little more talk.

It can only be said that Shen Zhengyuan's proposal just hit Kim Tae-ho's point, so that the director agreed to make a documentary so easily.

However, the result of persuading director Kim Tae-ho of "Infinite Challenge" to agree certainly made Shen Zhengyuan excited, but he did not blindly remain optimistic because of this, because there is still a big problem waiting for him.

Sure enough, Kim Tae-ho continued: "However, on the high-level side of MBC, I'm not sure if they will agree to let President Sung shoot this documentary, after all, ......"

Kim Tae-ho didn't finish his words, but Shen Zhengyuan already knew what he meant later, after all, the idea of shooting a documentary for "Infinite Challenge" seemed quite positive on the surface. But the interests involved behind it, especially Shen Zhengyuan, who is also the president of a cable TV station, want to convince these guys who are full of interest struggles and distribution of TV stations, not that there is no possibility, but that it is a challenge of hellish difficulty.

Although Kim Tae-ho himself has a certain say in MBC because of the relationship with "Infinite Challenge", his influence is still a little dwarfed when he goes up.

Otherwise, they would not have participated in the strike at every turn.

"Director Kim Tae-ho doesn't have to worry about this. However, compared to Kim Tae-ho's bad looks, Shen Zhengyuan himself is full of confidence.

It's not because he has the ability and skill to negotiate against the sky, it's purely because he has mastered a way to win.

The method is simple to put it bluntly, and there is always one word, and that is - Gou.

Ahem, no, it's cowardice, it's not right, it should be a step back and the sea and the sky, and endure the calm for a while.

Is that a word?

Whatever~

……

On the same day, in the afternoon.

It's getting late.

Shen Zhengyuan just came out of the MBC main building.

Walking out of the TV station, he breathed a sigh of relief and glanced back at the MBC building behind him, which was brightly lit.

"The guys on the TV station are really, and they don't have the slightest bit to fool around. ”

The negotiation for the documentary "Infinite Challenge" was as difficult as expected. At the beginning, MBC's senior management did not have any intention of negotiating with Shen Zhengyuan at all, and insisted that "Infinite Challenge" was MBC's property and would never allow outsiders to interfere. Even if you want to make a documentary, MBC has the resources and system that belong to the TV station to shoot the documentary itself, so why entrust an outsider like Shen Zhengyuan to shoot it.

All kinds of actions are obviously regarded as "Infinite Challenge" as a TV station, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere and touch.

In the end, it was Director Kim Tae-ho who moved out of "Infinite Challenge" by Sim Jung-won, plus Kim Tae-ho himself who intervened, that allowed the negotiations to continue.

However, even so, the next negotiations are still very difficult.

Regarding the broadcast copyright of the documentary, MBC is not giving an inch, and the clear idea is that since the documentary of "Infinite Challenge" is a program of their TV station, it can only be broadcast on MBC, if Shen Zhengyuan does not agree, everything is not discussed, and the domineering and unreasonable of big TV will be undoubtedly displayed.

In the end, it was Shen Zhengyuan who made a huge concession and agreed that the premiere of the documentary "Infinite Challenge" would be broadcast on MBC, and the second round of broadcast in the later stage would be broadcast on Al Jazeera, and even a certain amount of copyright fees would be paid to MBC for the documentary.

At the moment when Sim Jung-won made such a major concession, he could detect the surprised and triumphant expressions of MBC's senior management, as well as Kim Tae-ho's regretful expression. Because, if everything goes according to what Shen Zhengyuan said, after the whole documentary is filmed, he will purely work for MBC.

It took time and effort, and in the end, the premiere rights of the documentary were taken away by MBC.

To put it simply, the meat was eaten by the TV station, and Shen Zhengyuan could only drink soup after him. Take the documentary that has already been broadcast back to Al Jazeera to replay it and earn a modest popularity.

In fact, this is also the current situation of the vast majority of small stations in South Korea, spending some money to buy the rights to popular programs like "Infinite Challenge" from big TV stations, and then broadcast them in turn to maintain their popularity.

After a negotiation, even the senior management of MBC did not expect it to be so smooth, as for the concession made by Shen Zhengyuan in the end, in their opinion, it was the result of being forced to be anxious and panicking. After all, he is a person from a small TV station, and he has no vision, so it is not surprising that such a situation happened.

Putting away his thoughts, Shen Zhengyuan shook his head and was about to leave MBC.

Kim Tae-ho chased him out of the TV station and stopped him.

"Shen Zhengyuan, President Shen!"

"Oh, Director Kim Tae-ho, what's the matter?"

Stopping, Shen Zhengyuan turned around and saw Kim Tae-ho panting out of the TV station.

"Are you okay, the documentary thing ......"

In essence, Kim Tae-ho is a pure TV worker, and he is also a perennial figure who has been fighting on the front line of the struggle for the rights of TV workers. It is precisely because of this that after seeing that the documentary that Shen Zhengyuan wanted to shoot with his heart was exploited by the top management of the TV station, he felt some empathy and chased it out.

"If Shen Zhengyuan finds it a little difficult to accept, I can ask the people in the station to talk to you again......"

"Director Kim Tae-ho doesn't have to be like this. Shen Zhengyuan interrupted Kim Tae-ho's kindness by saying something, but said in a firm tone: "I will definitely shoot a documentary about "Infinite Challenge", not only filmed, but also filmed well, so that the audience is satisfied." ”

"Since this is the case, then we "Infinite Challenge" will also fully cooperate with Shen Zhengyuan and you to shoot the documentary. Seeing that Shen Zhengyuan had a certain idea, Kim Tae-ho didn't say anything more, but promised that the crew of "Infinite Challenge" would definitely help him with the filming of the documentary.

"What a kind person. ”

Seeing Kim Tae-ho's back leave, Shen Zhengyuan looked back at the MBC building, somewhere brightly lit.

"But who said that if I did this, I must have suffered?"
