Chapter 347: A New Drama That Doesn't Go Well
"Thank you. ”
After receiving the congratulations, Shen Zhengyuan did not show too proudness, because he felt that the screenwriter Kim Eun-sook obviously did not just say this, but opened the topic with a considerable purpose.
Sure enough, the look on screenwriter Kim Eun-sook's face hesitated, and he glanced at Director Shin Woo-chul on the side, and then seemed to nod with determination: "I don't know, what are the plans of President Shen Jung-won's TV station in terms of TV drama production next?" After saying this, screenwriter Kim Eun-sook unconsciously reached out to help the glasses on his face, with a worried expression.
Recently, due to the problem of writing scripts, Kim Eun-sook's screenwriter has hit a wall everywhere, and even SBS Television, which has maintained a good relationship in the past, has made it clear that it will not buy scripts. Screenwriter Kim Eun-sook was really forced to have no choice, so he thought of meeting with Shen Zhengyuan at the awards ceremony of the TV drama festival and asking about the situation.
Although screenwriter Kim Eun-sook did not have much expectation for Al Jazeera to buy his new drama, after all, even the three major wireless stations had various interests to agree to it, let alone a cable station. Kim Eun-sook has invested a lot of ambition in the new script, not only because she already belongs to the actors in the script, but also boldly chooses a new theme that South Korea has never paid attention to in the past, but perhaps it is precisely because of the excellent theme and her own insistence on starring attitude that the process of this drama has been frequently unsmooth.
Delays have so far not been able to find a TV station willing to take over.
For this, Shin Woo-chul has persuaded his old partner more than once, but Kim Eun-sook's attitude is extremely resolute.
The drama is the idea of the two of them stranded for many years, and they had to give up because of investment problems seven years ago, this time Kim Eun-sook doesn't want to give up again, if she gives up again this time, Kim Eun-sook doesn't know if there will be a chance to restart the script in the days to come, maybe this is the last chance.
It is precisely because of this idea that Kim Eun-sook will explore Shen Jung-won on the occasion of the TV Drama Festival Awards Ceremony.
Hearing Kim Eun-sook's inquiry about the TV series, Shen Zhengyuan subconsciously planned to say the idea of the TV station to produce a new drama next, but he did stop at the last moment and said: "There is no special plan, who is Kim Eun-sook's screenwriter?"
On the side, Kim Tae-hee couldn't help but glance at Shen Zhengyuan, and she felt that the other party seemed to have some signs of changing his words at the last moment.
And Kim Eun-sook obviously doesn't have the same keen sense as Kim Tae-hee, and after hearing Shen Zhengyuan's words, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke expectantly: "So, I don't know if President Shen Zhengyuan has any intention of investing in the production of a new drama?"
Kim Eun-sook said it to this extent, if Shen Zhengyuan couldn't hear the meaning of the other party's words, it would be really stupid.
"The new drama that Kim Eun-sook said should be the one you have been mentioning in creation before, right?"
In this regard, Kim Eun-sook nodded, and at the same time replied without hesitation: "That's right, it's that drama." ”
"Has the previous plot of the script come out?"
"It was only completed not long ago," from Shen Zhengyuan's tone, there was no intention of investing or refusing, and Kim Eun-sook could only continue according to his mood: "In fact, not only the script of the first few episodes, but also the plot of the entire drama has been almost written, judging from the current creative progress, it will take another week or two to complete the creation of all the scripts?"
"The whole show has already been created?!"
Kim Eun-sook's answer surprised Shen Jung-won slightly, because according to the general script creation process in South Korea, it has always been a mode of writing and shooting, and the screenwriter writes the outline and the next part of the plot of the first three episodes and continues to create after filming.
But Kim Eun-sook's next words fully explain why she changed the past script writing conventions in South Korea: "My original idea for the broadcast of new dramas was to aim for the simultaneous broadcast of South Korea and China. According to the information obtained from friends who know about the broadcast of Huaxia TV dramas, in order to be able to comply with the regulations of the relevant departments of Huaxia TV dramas before broadcasting, I plan to adopt the mode of filming first and then broadcasting for new dramas, so it is naturally necessary to create the script in advance, and it is necessary to set aside enough time for the Huaxia department to review it, so as to achieve the goal of simultaneous broadcasting in the two countries. ”
In recent years, South Korean TV dramas have grown rapidly in the Chinese market, and Shen Zhengyuan's "Producer" also has the experience of cooperating with Huaxia video websites. However, there are very few ways like Kim Eun-sook to start broadcasting TV dramas in both countries at the same time, and movies are said to be released simultaneously, and TV dramas, especially foreign TV dramas, have never been heard of in the past.
From here, it is enough to see Kim Eun-sook's ambitions and expectations for the new drama.
To be honest, Shen Zhengyuan was a little shocked by Kim Eun-sook's idea, if this TV series can be successful, then it is naturally the best time for Al Jazeera to buy it now, but if it fails, the current TV station has just gained a firm foothold in the TV drama market, and it is far from the point where it can be waved casually.
Under such cautious thoughts, Shen Zhengyuan hesitated for a while before he spoke: "May I ask, can I ask the name and theme type of the new drama written by Kim Eun-sook?"
Kim Eun-sook also saw the hesitation on Shen Zhengyuan's face, after all, although she only described the situation of some TV dramas slightly due to the situation on the scene, she could also feel the expected investment in the production of the new drama, which was obviously not enough for one or two points.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work. ”
On the surface, Kim Eun-sook continued to reply: "I originally planned to call the name of the new drama "The Sun", but I felt that it was a bit difficult to understand, so I changed it to "Descendants of the Sun", and as for the subject matter, it was also a story about the peacekeeping forces that South Korea had never filmed in the past......"
"Descendants of the Sun?"
If it was said that when listening to Kim Eun-sook's description of the new drama before, Shen Zhengyuan still had the idea of whether it would work or not, and how much money he had, whether it would affect Al Jazeera's operation, then the moment he heard Kim Eun-sook say the name of the play, these thoughts could be said to have disappeared immediately.
Just kidding, this is "Descendants of the Sun", even people like Shen Zhengyuan who don't know about South Korean TV dramas know that this TV series has once again set off a boom in the original world after "You from the Star".
