Zhang Che left Zheng Enque's house with a stomach full of questions, and Zhang Che passed perfunctorily with the flag that he wanted to discuss with the director and could not decide by himself.

According to the general rules, after the acquisition of adaptation rights, the original author has no right to meddle in the casting of actors, but out of respect for the original author, some writers or directors will ask the original author for their opinions during the casting process, but this is also polite, and it is rare for Zheng Enque to directly ask the writer "Is there a suitable candidate", no one knows if Zhang Che says no, Zheng Enque will recommend someone to come in.

Therefore, Zhang Che can only use the director as a shield, which is actually an attitude, after all, the performance techniques of novels and TV series are different, maybe Zheng Enque thinks that the right person does not mean that he can act well.

Because it was a work of the opening drama in 2012, the crew was established early, and Jang Che also went to have several meetings with MBC people, especially to get to know the director Kim Do-hoon and listen to the director's opinion on this drama.

Fortunately, Zhang Che is based on the memories of his previous life and the original work, and the original director of this play is this, so Kim Do-hoon basically has no opinion on Zhang Che's script, and as an alternate historical drama, some of the settings in the plot that obviously violate history Zhang Che and Kim Do-hoon discussed it and felt that there was no need to deliberately revise it, so it was better to maintain the flavor of the original work.

After the establishment of the crew, all the work is being carried out in an orderly manner, but Zhang Che is temporarily idle, the amount of script adaptation is enough to cope with the pre-shooting, and some set construction and negotiation of location shooting locations do not require him to do it himself, so before casting, he was an idler.

During this period, Zhang Che went to do two things, the first thing was Liu Haozhen's, this guy called him early and asked him to go to KBS to talk about it.

Zhang Che has always felt very strange about this, his cooperation with KBS can be said to be the weakest, and Liu Haozhen didn't mix well in "Two Days and One Night", Jiang Hudong also deliberately made a hidden camera for him to brush up on his sense of existence, and suddenly found out what his situation was.

After Zhang Che took the time to go to Liu Haozhen's appointment, Zhang Che found that things were not so simple, because in addition to Liu Haozhen, there was also a deputy director of the Variety Show Bureau who received Zhang Che.

This is more intriguing.

Anyway, the deputy director just warmly received Zhang Che, said some high-sounding official words, reviewed the beautiful cooperation between KBS and Zhang Che's company, and looked forward to the bright future of the two companies to continue to cooperate, Zhang Che heard the meaning of this.

Although there is no name to say it, Zhang Che heard that this is planning to cooperate again, and there is something in the words - "Youth Undefeated", except that Zhang Che has no cooperation with KBS at all, and he also looks back on Mao.

The deputy director politely left with clichés such as "there is still a meeting to be held", and the rest of the drama is estimated to be Liu Haozhen talking to him.

Sure enough, after sending off the deputy director, Liu Haozhen looked at Zhang Che in a daze with a sad face.

"Brother, you better put on this pose less, seriously, there are not many good-looking people who do PD, and they look awkward with this pose!" Since he has a bottom in his heart, Zhang Che is naturally in the mood to ridicule Liu Haozhen.

"Don't forget, you are also good in our PD category!" Liu Haozhen was already worried, and some people joked about people's appearances so much, so they were unceremoniously scolded back.

Well, this time he hit the bull's-eye, and Zhang Che is not a beautiful man.

"Okay, brother, what do you mean, listen to what your deputy director means, and plan to shoot the second season of "Youth Undefeated"?" Zhang Che decided to get down to business, he really wanted to fight who was ugly and who was handsome, no matter who won it was a joke.

"After the show ended last year, the TV station found a few programs to take over "Youth Undefeated", but the effect ...... "Speaking here, Liu Haozhen smiled, "In addition, didn't SBS imitate us last year and launched a program full of female artists, so the station thinks that the show "Youth Undefeated" is still good, and I want to talk to you about the second season." ”

"But I don't plan to shoot a second season!" Zhang Che said with his hands outstretched.

"Why?" Liu Haozhen was surprised, "You don't want to fight a turnaround, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to cooperate with other PDs, I also specially applied for a transfer from "Two Days and One Night" for this matter, okay, this time we will work together." ”

"Speaking of which, isn't it still you who still have grievances, I don't actually think there's anything wrong with "Undefeated Youth" ending like this!" Zhang Che explained helplessly.

“... Yes, I have a grudge, at that time, I really felt that this show was hopeless, and the ratings of the final ending did not exceed 7%, but, do you know, what is the highest rating of our show? It's 4.6%, I don't know, I really think that ours is still good. Late Friday night, what are you going to do if you ask for more than 10%?" Liu Haozhen smiled a little self-deprecatingly and said.

I really didn't know before I went to "Two Days and One Night", but I didn't know until I went, how did the more than 30% of people's ratings come about, not only the artists were really hardworking, but even the production team had to work hard, Luo Yingshi on a hot day also wore a big cotton jacket for a whole day, but it was not over if he appeared in front of the TV, although there were reasons for his harm, but the shock to him was really big.

One of the biggest things he learned during that time was that filming a show is not only about the artist's good performance, if he can mingle with the artists like Luo Yingshi and support each other, "Youth Undefeated" may not fail.

So this time, the station asked him if he would like to come back to shoot "Youth Undefeated", and he agreed without saying a word, for fear that Luo Yingshi would misunderstand that he felt that the ratings of "Two Days and One Night" could not escape, and specially invited Luo Yingshi to dinner to explain the matter.

Now Zhang Che told himself that he didn't plan to shoot, and Liu Haozhen was the first to quit.

As soon as Zhang Che looked at that posture, he knew that if he didn't agree today, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of the door of this office.

"Brother, have you thought about it, the theme of this show has limitations, the first time you do it as an audience, it will be fresh, and if you do it for the second time, it will be boring. Zhang Che had to find a suitable example to persuade Liu Haozhen, "Look at SBS's "Heroes and Heroes", their ratings are only a few things, except for the freshness at the beginning, the ratings have plummeted later. ”

"I watched the show, to be honest, the content is not bad, except that the editing is a little messy, it is a good show. It's just that SBS put them in the ring with "Two Days and One Night", and if that show is broadcast on Friday at regular time, it will guarantee more than 15% of the ratings. Liu Haozhen said disapprerovitically.

“... So brother, back to our show, we have done all the work that can be done in the countryside, what are we going to shoot if we shoot again, and find a bunch of idols to find a place to do it again?"

"Didn't we go to the mountain village last time, but this time I thought about it, let's go to the beach and go to the fishing village!"

"Just kidding, are you going to let a group of idols, or female idols, climb the mud pond and go into the sea?"

"Come out and shoot the show!"

"You are ruthless enough!" Zhang Che had to praise, worthy of being brought out by Luo Yingshi, "But you also have to think about it, fishing villages are different from rural areas, agricultural production is assisted by a timeline, and you can see and touch it from planting to harvesting, but if you are on the beach, you can't let those girls go to be sea maidens to eat from the sea, right?"

"Isn't this still yours! I believe in your ability to do the content of the show!"

"Okay!" Zhang Che sighed and said, "I'll go back and ask Cailin about this matter, after all, it is also a company behavior, and it costs money to buy KBS time period, and it is estimated that it will not work without Cailin's consent." ”

"Well, then you go quickly, I'm waiting for your good news!" Liu Haozhen hurried away.

Zhang Che's attitude towards this brother is simply amazing, he has never seen such a crossing of the river and demolishing the bridge. However, it is also the right thing to push to Li Cailin, he believes that Li Cailin understands the stakes here, and he should find a way to refuse!

"Well, we've got the job done!"

"Uh... Huh?"

"Eh, what the hell, this thing must be answered!"

"You're not mistaken, what did you do with such a job that was destined to have no future?"

"I think you didn't figure it out, this job has to be taken at a loss. ”

Well, Li Cailin is despising Zhang Che with an idiot expression, which is completely different from what Zhang Che imagined!

"Why?" Zhang Che couldn't help it, hasn't Li Cailin always been very shrewd, how could she take on such a project that is obviously not promising.

"What does our company do, either investing in TV series or movies, or filming variety shows, plus the street artist and the idol combination that may be there in the future. You said, except for movies, which project should not cooperate with the TV station, how big of a background do you have, and you should not even have a good relationship with the TV station?" Li Cailin, who was helpless, could only patiently explain to Zhang Che.

“... Even if you lose money?"

"Well, even if you lose money!" Li Cailin nodded, but said in a blink of an eye, "Besides, can't you use dim sum to make it not lose money!"

Zhang Che pursed his lips, and said it easily, in his impression, the second season of "Undefeated Youth" lost a miserable one, the ratings are not said like that, and the investment in the second season is obviously much more than that of the first season, in this case, it is to find Luo Yingshi... It's really hard to say, isn't this guy's "Three Hours and Three Meals" with higher ratings than the mountain village chapter, how did you shoot it?

Or, be cheeky and ask Luo Yingshi for advice?
