Chapter 280: A New Variety Show

After Li Xianhao hung up the phone, he didn't pay attention to Li Xiuman's move of getting his head into the water. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Li Xianhao, who originally wanted to go back immediately, suddenly remembered that it was the first time he came to the headquarters of SBS, so he wanted to visit, after all, this can also be said to be his territory, and he didn't know his own territory, how to say the past.

Li Xianhao originally wanted Cui Zhengxuan to take him to visit the past, but after Li Changxu, the head of the Arts and Energy Bureau who had just passed by, learned of Li Xianhao's idea, he quickly volunteered to take Li Xianhao to familiarize himself with this place.

SBS has 23 floors and more than 1,000 employees. The main business departments are divided into three parts: the TV Drama Production Bureau, the News Department, and the Arts and Entertainment Bureau.

But with the deepening of Li Changxu's introduction, Li Xianhao also has a preliminary understanding of TV stations.

Originally, Li Xianhao thought that since the three major TV stations controlled more than 8% of the viewers in South Korea, their TV series must also be produced by themselves, and Li Xianhao had seen such news before. But after listening to Li Changxu's introduction, he realized that he was wrong.

South Korea's three major stations, like the Datian (Harmony) Dynasty, basically implement the separation of production and broadcasting, and their TV dramas are not produced by the station itself, but are outsourced to specialized TV drama production companies to shoot and produce, just like Li Xianhao's "Boys Over Flowers", which is also filmed, is produced by Song Byung-joon's production company.

But since TV dramas are outsourced to specialized TV drama production companies, why does the TV station still have such a department as the TV drama production bureau?

Originally, this department was mainly responsible for negotiating with outsourced production companies, and there was also a major one, that is, this department had a special screenwriting department. The entire production process of a TV series is to first analyze the preferences of the current audience by the TV Drama Production Bureau, then select a theme, hand it over to the screenwriter for script creation, and then outsource it to a specialized TV drama production company to shoot the TV series, and finally broadcast it on the station.

After listening to Li Changxu's introduction, Li Xianhao suddenly realized, at that time he still wondered why the "Boys Over Flowers" produced by KBS TV was handed over to Song Bingzhun to be the chief PD, and Song Bingzhun was not from KBS TV, until he finally understood after listening to Li Changxu's introduction at this moment.

The Information Bureau is a very important department in the whole television station. There are a lot of expatriate reporters among them, and they also have to have the ability to dig up news, if the other two major TV stations can publish that news, but you don't have that news, and you have to borrow it from others, it means that the people in the news department are too failed. And if you can get the exclusive live broadcast rights and broadcast rights of some major events or international events, it will be a bull break.

Li Changxu finally led Li Xianhao to his own art bureau. While walking, he whispered to Li Xianhao about SBS's variety shows.

Speaking of SBS's variety shows, Li Changxu is full of pride. From "Love Letters", "X-Man", "Night Heart", which used to lead Korean variety shows, to the current "Birth of a Family", all of them are guarantees of ratings. Not to mention resident programs like "Popular Songs" and "Challenge a Thousand Songs", as well as programs like "Laughers" and "StarKing". Because the audience of SBS is mostly young, variety shows are also younger.

After listening to Li Changxu's introduction, Li Xianhao suddenly frowned.

"Director Li, according to what you say, now there is only one variety show "Birth of a Family" that can take advantage of the SBS of Nuoda?"

Hearing Li Xianhao's sudden question, Li Changxu's face suddenly froze, and it was really difficult to argue in his heart, because this is the case.

In addition to song programs such as "Popular Ballads" and "Challenge a Thousand Songs", SBS's variety shows are also supported by "The Birth of a Family". Among the other two TV stations, KBS has "Two Days and One Night", "HappyTogether", "Star Admiralty", etc., MBC has "Infinite Challenge" and "We Are Married", "Golden Fishery" and so on, and the popularity of the other two TV stations' variety shows is not much worse than "Birth of a Family", not to mention that there are other popular variety shows. But what about SBS? Relying on only one "Birth of a Family" against the other two TV stations is fundamentally at a disadvantage.

"Director Li, immediately convene a meeting of the management of the Arts Bureau and the PDs who are still in the TV station to discuss the issues of the Arts Bureau. Li Xianhao said in a deep voice.

When Li Changxu heard Li Xianhao say this, he knew that Li Xianhao was very dissatisfied with the current situation of the Arts Bureau, and originally wanted to show off to Li Xianhao to show off the Arts Bureau under his management, but he didn't expect that the show off did not succeed, but left an impression of poor management in Li Xianhao's heart.

Li Changxu had no choice but to call everyone over for a meeting with a bitter face.

Li Xianhao first came to the conference room of the Arts and Performing Arts Bureau alone, sat in the main seat and began to think about this problem of the SBS Arts and Energy Bureau.

The people in SBS don't know clearly, but as a reborn person, how can Li Xianhao not know the final ending of SBS's current town-stage variety show "The Birth of a Family"? The other two TV stations' town-stage variety shows are very long-lasting, especially "Infinite Challenge" is a trump card variety show, and "The Birth of a Family" was forced to end because the ratings were too low in 10 years.

It can be said that if there is no successor to "RunningMan", SBS is not half a star behind the other two major TV stations in variety shows. And even "RunningMan" couldn't escape the dismal ratings in the end. And "RunningMan" is fundamentally not a real variety show, because it has slowly risen from a few percent of the ratings in the first one or two years to more than ten percent, and the highest rating is only about 23%, and then it slowly declined, and finally because the ratings were too low, it slowly fell into the deadlock of stopping the broadcast.

……

When Li Xianhao was thinking slowly in the conference room, Li Changxu had already called all the management staff of the SBS Arts Bureau and several PD screenwriters present. Under Li Changxu's inform, these people were not only shocked that their president was actually Li Xianhao, but also a little panicked about this meeting, because they learned from Li Changxu that Li Xianhao was very dissatisfied with the current situation of the Arts Bureau.

After entering the conference room, I saw Li Xianhao, the old god, sitting on the main seat and thinking about something. Although they felt that it was a little abrupt for Li Xianhao to become their president, none of these people dared to be rude, and they greeted Li Xianhao after coming in.

After seeing everyone coming, Li Xianhao came back from his contemplation. Looking at the conference room that was already full, Li Xianhao asked softly if Li Changxu next to him had come, and after getting a positive answer, Li Xianhao started the meeting.

"Many people still feel very strange, to tell you exactly, I am the largest shareholder of SBS, in the future, I will gradually make some changes to SBS, today, after listening to Director Li Changxu's introduction to the Arts Bureau, I am very dissatisfied with the current situation of the Arts Bureau, so I suddenly summoned you to come over and talk to you about this issue of the Arts Bureau......

There were not only Director Li Changxu of the Arts Bureau, but also several deputy directors, screenwriters of various variety shows and PD people, after listening to Li Xianhao's words, his heart was raised, and he was afraid that Li Xianhao, the "new official", would take office three times.

"I'm not very familiar with you yet, so let's stand up and briefly introduce yourself, and the PDs and screenwriters will also tell me a little bit about which variety show they are responsible for......"

After Li Xianhao looked at everyone, he said, everyone looked at each other for a while, and finally after Li Changxu's reminder, a deputy director next to Li Changxu began to get up and introduce himself.

"I am the deputy director of the Arts and Energy Bureau, and I am currently mainly responsible for several variety shows ...... XXXX"

"I'm Choi Jin-hwan, the deputy director of the Arts and Energy Bureau, and I'm currently in charge of ......"

"I'm Kim Hyung-joo PD, and I don't have a show ...... at the moment"

"I am ......"

"I'm assistant PD Cho Hyo-jin, and I haven't followed the show ...... at the moment"

"I'm a screenwriter......"

“…………”

When he heard their own introductions, what surprised Li Xianhao was that he actually met the two future creators of "RunningMan", Cao Xiaozhen and Kim Hyung-joo, this one is the chief PD of "RunningMan", and the other is the famous power PD of "RunningMan", and what makes Li Xianhao even more strange is that Cao Xiaozhen is actually younger than Kim Hyung-joo, only in his early 30s.

After listening to everyone's introduction, Li Xianhao basically understood the situation of everyone at the scene. Among the more than 20 people present, they are basically idle and have no responsible variety shows, or they are still assistant PDs like Cao Xiaozhen.

"Okay, now that everyone has made introductions, let's discuss the issue of today's variety shows at SBS Arts Bureau. ”

"Director Li, please briefly introduce the average ratings of various variety shows at present......," Li Xianhao said first.

"Among all our variety shows at present, Sunday's best "Birth of a Family" has the highest average rating, and it currently maintains a rating of about 29%......"

Speaking of which, Lee Changxu is still a little confident, able to maintain a rating of 29%, and is still firmly in the top spot of Korean variety shows.

But then, Li Changxu was a little complacent, because except for "The Birth of a Family", the ratings of other variety shows are only a few percent, and programs like "Popular Ballads", which are also considered variety shows, are only worth about 15% of the ratings.

After Li Changxu finished his introduction, Li Xianhao just nodded, and did not say anything about these variety shows that were only a few percentage points, which made Li Changxu breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, the ratings have also been introduced, now let me talk about the impression that the Arts Bureau has given me in general. ”

"Except for "The Birth of the Family" launched in June last year, SBS actually doesn't have any new variety shows, they are all old shows from a few years ago, and "The Birth of the Family" is not really a new show, after all, it is the variety show model created by "Two Days and One Night", we just copied it and changed it......"

When Li Xianhao said this, Li Changxu was proud of the good results of "The Birth of a Family" just now, and the smug look on his face suddenly stopped, making him no longer proud in his heart. Li Xianhao is right, "The Birth of a Family" is indeed plagiarized from the model of "Two Days and One Night".

"Now that we are slowly entering the Internet era, people will watch fewer and fewer TV programs, so our variety shows must also have more novel ideas, launch more novel variety shows to attract audiences, and innovation is the driving force for survival. ”

"I see that there are a lot of young people here, but not much older than me, young represents innovation, I hope you can take active action, if you have any good ideas and suggestions, you can put them forward to the above, don't worry that someone will laugh at you and blame you, maybe the next king of ratings is created by you." ”

Li Xianhao's words made everyone present agree with it, but it is one thing to agree, if you really want to innovate a new program, it is as difficult as the sky.

Just when everyone was smiling bitterly in their hearts, they saw Li Xianhao speak again.

"It just so happens that I have a few ideas here, you all take note of them, and if you think there is anything bad, you can put it forward immediately, and everyone can discuss it together, and then you can plan and plan it as the next variety show. ”

As soon as everyone heard Li Xianhao's words, their eyes suddenly lit up, Li Xianhao actually had a new variety show idea? Everyone became curious, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to Li Xianhao's thoughts.

"The first idea was this, we could make a reality variety show where idol stars could experience self-sufficient rural life. In addition, we only invite members of popular Korean girl groups to appear in this program, so that they can go to the countryside to experience a self-sufficient life......"

"I named this variety show "Youth Undefeated". Youth is to embrace the light in your heart, and in order to discover the hidden light, you will strive to live today. Youth is to feel the warmth of sweat, and to know the warmth of the heart that is warmer than body temperature. The so-called youth means that although there are many shortcomings, you will not feel embarrassed......"

The more Li Xianhao spoke, the more excited he became, but everyone present was already slowly thinking about Li Xianhao's proposal. Let the members of the popular girl group go to the countryside to experience the self-sufficient rural life? Sounds like a lot of fun and fun.

"The above is my understanding of the variety show "Youth Undefeated", which is probably the meaning of letting a group of delicate girls go to the countryside to endure hardships, novelty, full of highlights, you can slowly plan and improve after you go back, I know that there are several brokerage companies that are going to launch a girl group this year, and when the time comes, you can find one or two members in each girl group, not too many people, too much chaos, and everyone can't shoot characteristics, and it can't be too little, too little to watch, it's best to ...... about seven people."

After everyone listened, they had to admire Li Xianhao in their hearts, an idea he came up with by chance, and even the number of people was considered, it really deserved to be a genius.

"Next is another idea, it is also a talk show, MBC has a golden fishery, but my talk show is different from his one, my show is to invite more than 20 artists as guests in each episode, and then give a topic, let the guests have a two-by-two duel on this topic, to determine the winner, and the winner, I call it "Strong Heart" , the heart is beating, the emotions are tense, the stories that can't be told if you don't have a strong heart, the stories that can't be heard if you don't have a strong heart, the stories behind the artists, all in "Strong Heart" ......"

After Li Xianhao finished saying this variety show idea, everyone pondered again, thinking about the possibility of Li Xianhao's proposal. But as I thought about it more deeply, everyone felt that this talk show, which Li Xianhao called "Strong Heart", would definitely be very attractive, because it told the story behind the artists, because it had more than 20 artists in each issue. Who doesn't want to hear the stories behind the artists? Not to mention that there are still so many artists? Even if each of them only reveals a little thing, they can be on the hot search list the next day.

"Well, there's another idea, which you can refer to, because this show has two directions of development. ”

Hearing that Li Xianhao actually had the idea of a new variety show, everyone admired it in their hearts, especially those screenwriters, it was difficult for them to think of one or two, but they didn't expect Li Xianhao to propose three at once.
