Shen Zhengyuan obviously knew that it was impossible to get the script so simply.

Although Kim Eun-sook has always hoped to be able to produce "Descendants of the Sun", she also does not want the final TV series to be shoddy, especially since she has always been suspicious of the cable station, and the past years of cooperation experience with the wireless station make the screenwriter habitually prefer the wireless station option when making new dramas.

Even though the rise of cable stations has been amazing in recent years, Kim Eun-sook still has a preconceived feeling that there are certain difficulties in cable stations in terms of large-scale productions.

From a certain point of view, Kim Eun-sook's impression is not too wrong.

Compared with wireless stations, except for a few cable stations with strong funds as backrests, the vast majority of cable stations are naturally far behind, and even the vast majority of cable TV stations are still struggling with the edge of ratings, and there is no possibility of shooting large-scale TV dramas.

If you push the time forward by a year, no, half a year or even a few months ago, Shen Zhengyuan may not have the confidence to buy the script of "Descendants of the Sun", even if he knows what kind of craze this drama will cause after it is broadcast, but this time is different from the past, especially after the first TV series "The Producer" produced by the TV station was a great success and overseas copyright revenue.

With Al Jazeera's current financial situation, the production of "Descendants of the Sun" may be reluctant, but it is no longer completely impossible.

What's more, who said that the production of TV series must be funded by TV stations?

If the production of a TV series requires a TV station to spend a lot of money, let alone Shen Zhengyuan's Al Jazeera, even the three major wireless stations cannot withstand such consumption.

In fact, Shen Zhengyuan did not know about the production of TV dramas in South Korea in the past, but judging from his recent experience in personally participating in the production of TV dramas. Nowadays, there are two types of income from the production of TV dramas in South Korea, one is advertisers, the other is copyright, and of course, compared with wireless stations, cable stations have a special income channel, that is, channel fees.

For example, in the case of the TV station's "Producer", which had just finished its final production, advertisers were already rushing to call in when the ratings of the TV series exceeded 2 percent, and then as the ratings of the TV series steadily increased, advertisers who called in the hope of inserting ads before and after each episode flocked to the show.

There are more than 20 commercials in the last episode, which is converted into a 15-second advertising time, which is as much as 250 seconds.

Not to mention the overseas copyright as the largest part of the income, Shen Zhengyuan, who was once born in Huaxia, is very aware of the willful side of Huaxia Cable, and the copyright of the TV series "Producer" is also the highest copyright income of Al Jazeera since the copyright transaction, it is not an exaggeration to say that the copyright income of Huaxia Video Website alone is enough to offset the income generated by the TV station for a whole year.

Tencent Video, terrifying~

Of course, from Shen Zhengyuan's point of view, he naturally hopes that the other party is as terrifying as possible.

Having said that, although "Descendants of the Sun" was originally intended to be broadcast in Hyeonghwa and South Korea at the same time, the filming and production of the TV series led to a huge amount of investment in the early stage of the TV series, and because it was not a conventional mode of filming and broadcasting, it was impossible to use the way of the previous episodes to generate revenue, and the losses caused by advertising placement were unavoidable, after all, from the perspective of advertisers, even if the script was not produced and passed the test of ratings, it was a work that could not guarantee revenue.

In addition, because of the relationship between the two countries, the broadcast time of the TV series cannot be uncertain, and the popularity of the TV series cannot be determined due to pre-production, which has become a place for advertisers to consider.

The inability to attract advertisers to invest money is also one of the big reasons why TVB has not been able to make up its mind to take over the project "Descendants of the Sun".

The worries of the wireless station are not unreasonable, after all, their stall is so big, and there are many people inside the TV station, there is no way to decide to invest so much in a TV series at once, if this kind of thing succeeds, it is fine, but if it fails, even if it is a wireless station, it will inevitably hurt the muscles and bones for a while.

However, Shen Zhengyuan is different, although it is clear that taking over the production of "Descendants of the Sun" is definitely a huge investment like a bottomless pit in the early stage, and the sentence that Shen Zhengyuan said before is likely to become a reality, but the income that Lenovo TV series can bring to the TV station after it is broadcast, even if it is not as good as the original unnatural results, as long as there is more than half of the response, the TV station will make a steady profit.

In this case, what else does Shen Zhengyuan have to hesitate about.

On the other hand, even if the final bad luck was bad, "Descendants of the Sun" failed to be as successful as Shen Zhengyuan expected, failed, and the TV station lost money, but today's Al Jazeera is no longer a small broken station that didn't even have a name variety show at the beginning.

Even if he fails and loses, Shen Zhengyuan is confident that he will bring the TV station again.

With such an idea in his heart, in the face of several requests made by Kim Eun-sook, Shen Zhengyuan was naturally extremely shocked and faced it calmly.

"Screenwriter Kim Eun-sook rest assured, since the TV station has decided to buy the copyright of "Descendants of the Sun", then it is definitely not just casual talk, for the production of this drama, although I dare not make too exaggerated guarantees, but please rest assured, in terms of production costs, I will definitely do my best to shoot Kim Eun-sook's ideal TV drama work. ”

"The same is true for actors, if Kim Eun-sook has your favorite candidate in mind, the TV station will definitely not interfere or interfere in any way......" The original Song and Song couples of "Descendants of the Sun" have good acting skills and are topical, and Shen Zhengyuan has no intention of changing actors. On the contrary, on the part of Song Hye Kyo, Shen Zhengyuan is still a little worried about whether the actress will have difficulties in inviting because of the relationship between the cable TV series.

"In terms of TV dramas, Al Jazeera will do its best to help Kim Eun-sook write the screenplay and produce it, but I also hope that Kim Eun-sook will be able to grasp the time and try to complete the filming of the TV series within a controllable time frame. Although Al Jazeera has made money this year, Shen Zhengyuan also knows that the production of "Descendants of the Sun" is still a bit clumsy, so the requirement for filming is naturally to complete the shooting early, so it will be early.

When it comes to the whole thing, Kim Eun-sook actually has a certain number in her heart, and the general situation is determined, and the next details are naturally much simpler.

The TV series that has been bothering her for so long has finally entered the foreseeable production stage, and Kim Eun-sook obviously has feelings in her heart, and her heart is a little complicated, but she still restrained her emotions, nodded to Shen Zhengyuan and reassured: "President Shen Zhengyuan, don't worry, I have put a lot of effort into the drama "Descendants of the Sun", and naturally I will do my best to produce it......"
