CHAPTER XXXV

Half an hour later, in the coffee shop next to SBS, Zhang Che and Kim Yinglan sat opposite each other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Che looked at the contract in his hand and said in disbelief: "It's so sure?"

"Then what do you want, do you want to hold a press conference to announce it?" Jin Yinglan drank coffee slowly, teasing Zhang Che.

Things were simple beyond Zhang Che's expectations, after entering the director's room, the director and Jin Yinglan chatted a few words, and then chatted with Zhang Che for a few words, then took out the contract and asked Zhang Che to sign it, and in the end, Zhang Che Jin Yinglan and Zhang Che said goodbye and went out, which took less than 15 minutes.

"But it's too simple!" Zhang Che was still a little incredulous, and said, "Shouldn't you ask me what I think, and let me introduce the main points and ideas of the plot?"

"Boy, those who have discussed it countless times before deciding to sign your script, the most important thing is often not when it is signed, but before it is signed. Jin Yinglan smiled and mentioned Zhang Che, a few days ago, for this matter, Jin Yinglan, as Zhang Che's representative and the director of the TV Bureau, I don't know how many times I said, fortunately Zhang Che wrote a complete script, and fortunately Zhang Che told her his thoughts when he asked Jin Yinglan to change the script, otherwise Jin Yinglan really couldn't cope with it.

"Thank you, teacher!" Zhang Che said gratefully, he also guessed that it should be Jin Yinglan who paved the previous road, and then let himself walk up ready-made.

"What is there to thank, it's also that your script is good, otherwise they won't accept it if I say it. Jin Yinglan said with a smile.

Jang Che doesn't just think so, there are so many good scripts in South Korea, and there are so many excellent novelists, and I haven't seen every one of them put on the TV screen. So Zhang Che is really glad that Liu Zaishi was able to introduce himself to Jin Yinglan at the beginning, and he is also glad that Jin Yinglan really treats himself as a disciple.

"So, teacher, what am I going to do next?" Zhang Che asked reverently, he really didn't know what to do.

"Two things!" Jin Yinglan took a sip of coffee and said, "Call the director first and make an appointment for the script." You are a newcomer, you have to take the initiative, but you also have to pay attention to your identity, you can't be too accommodating to the director, and the attitude that a writer should have must also be displayed. ”

Kim Yinglan's meaning Zhang Che understood, this is also a very strange phenomenon in the Korean TV industry, the director and the writer are both cooperative and confrontational. The director has his own idea of the work he directs, but this idea may not be the same as that of the writer. And the writer has absolute dominance over his own works, so it is inevitable that there will be conflicts between the director and the writer. From the selection of actors to the setting of the plot, there may be conflicting points.

Jin Yinglan means that she is a newcomer and has a correct attitude, but it does not mean that if you are a newcomer, you must give up the rights of writers, and you must grasp this point, otherwise Zhang Che is likely to be rejected by the writers' circle.

"Well, I see, teacher, what about the second?" Zhang Che respectfully asked the second question.

"Second, it's your special situation, you still have a student visa, right?" asked Jin Yinglan.

"Well, yes!"

"Go get a work visa! If you don't want the writers in the TV producer list to have an empty skylight and you can't get the script fee. Kim Yinglan replied.

"Ahh Zhang Che asked, he didn't understand that he didn't do a good job at Xman, and his money was not less.

There was no way, Jin Yinglan began to give Zhang Che "popular science".

It turns out that variety shows and TV series are completely different. Variety shows implement the PD responsibility system, and the TV station only hands over the production funds to the PD, as for the writers, VJs, lighting, and post-editing, these live PDs can be completed by themselves. Generally speaking, PDs are contracted by TV stations, so when choosing a working partner, they will give priority to using their own TV station's contracted team. Of course, if the PD has to use an employee who is not part of the TV station, it is not impossible, anyway, all the salaries of the staff are deducted from the production expenses. Zhang Che belongs to the program group that entered this situation, and his current position in the TV station is just Jin Yinglan's personal assistant.

The TV series is different, all the production funds are controlled in the hands of the TV Bureau, and Zhang Che is also a contracted writer, at least until the end of this TV series, he has a work contract with the TV station, so a student visa is not in line with South Korean law. In this way, on the side of the Broadcasting Review Bureau, it will not be possible to pass it in any way, and the final result will be that the name of the writer will be opened.

After figuring out these things, Zhang Che and Jin Yinglan confessed, hurriedly took their luggage, and prepared to go to the embassy to ask about work visas. By the time Zhang Che came out of the embassy, it was already evening.

Fortunately, at the embassy, Zhang Che finally figured out the specific details. Although the work visa is very troublesome, fortunately, when applying for a student visa, Zhang Che kept all the information and put it together, so that many materials do not need to be repeated. Because there is a formal contract with the TV station, as long as the TV station issues a job description, the only trouble is time, the fastest processing time also takes 1 month, and the slowest may take half a year. If it's okay for a month, if it's half a year, it is estimated that the audience will not know who the writer is until the end of the broadcast.

Anyway, the matter of time is not something that Zhang Che can control, out of the embassy, Zhang Che took a taxi back to the apartment, ready to sort out the materials, go to the embassy tomorrow, and strive to complete the matter at one time.

After entering the door of the apartment, Zhang Che was a little stunned for a while. I always felt that the apartment was empty, on the sofa, on the TV cabinet, in the kitchen, it felt like everything was missing.

After shaking his head, Zhang Che realized that Park Ji-young had really moved away.

Zhang Che entered the door, and it was only now that a sense of reality came, and the previous mental preparation was only known when he saw a lot of things missing, and it was useless at all.

Zhang Che looked at this somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar house, and barely cleaned up his mood. Start packing your bags. The room was supposed to be occupied by one person, but now it's just back to what it should be. Zhang Che kept hinting at himself, and it took a while before he finally cleaned up his mood and started his own life.

Park Ji-young is gone, and Jang Che has no more food to rub on, so he has returned to his previous state of life, taking out and ramen alternately. Fortunately, in the next time, Zhang Che will also be very busy, temporarily diluting the emotions brought about by this parting.

On February 13, the day before Valentine's Day, Jang Cheol made an appointment with Yoo In-sik, the director of "Bad Housewives", to discuss the filming idea, and the location agreed between the two parties was still the coffee shop next to the SBS Mokdong headquarters.

This time, Zhang Che came to the appointment alone, and coincidentally, Liu Renzhi also came alone.

Director Yoo In-sik is a senior director of SBS, and has directed many TV dramas on SBS TV, and most importantly, he and Kim Young-lan are considered to be the same period, and their relationship with each other is not bad, so Jang Che has been instructed by Kim Young-lan before that when it is not involved in work, he must treat Yoo In-sik with a junior courtesy.

So Zhang Che was very humble when he came to see Liu Renzhi, not only arrived in advance to wait, but also was very respectful to Liu Renzhi in words.

It's just that when talking about work, Zhang Che remembered Jin Yinglan's words again, don't give in, or don't give in easily.

"Xiao Che, don't you mind if I call you that?" Liu Renzhi was very happy, at least when he was in contact with him in the first year of junior high school, he had a good impression of Zhang Che, not as difficult as his teacher, so he was also willing to be close to him in terms of title, after all, no one wants to be accompanied by quarrels at work every day.

"It's okay, senior, I'm a newcomer, and I'll have to be taught by my seniors in the future. Zhang Che replied with a humble smile.

"Hehe, don't say that, it's good to cooperate happily!" Liu Renzhi said with a smile: "You also know that our TV series was launched in a very hurry, because the ratings of the last TV series were too poor, so it is estimated that it will end in mid-March, and our TV series has to be connected, and we don't have much time." ”

"Yes, Director Nin has any ideas?"

Since it was work, Zhang Che also switched to a working mode to try to be as professional as possible.

Liu Renzhi was very satisfied with Zhang Che's attitude, and then said: "We're going to speed up, now your script is fine, and the production team is no problem, but the actors have a bigger problem." ”

Zhang Che chuckled at this time, he thought that Liu Renzhi was planning to directly appoint the actor. Zhang Che was silent first, he wanted to hear Liu Renzhi's opinion, if the candidate is suitable, then there is no need for him to oppose it.

Who knew that Liu Renzhi did not designate, but complained to Zhang Che, saying: "We are too anxious, and now the project that is hurriedly launched, it is too difficult to find a suitable actor, and the leaders of the station think that the failure of the last drama is because the appeal of the actors is not enough, and this time we must use big names." ”

Liu Renzhi paused, as if he was still unsatisfied, and continued to complain: "It's the same in Taiwan, and TV dramas can't be successful by simply stacking up big names, and besides, which big name can be found in such a short period of time, not to mention An Shengji, Lee Young-ae's level, if he has the ability, he will invite Cui Zhiyou and Zhang Dongjian." ”

Zhang Che couldn't answer this, he was not an old qualification like Liu Renzhi, and the director had to nod his head when he saw him. He's a newcomer, it's not good to talk about TV stations like this, he still has to rely on TV stations to eat.

Liu Renzhi talked for a long time, and found that Zhang Che didn't react, and he couldn't say it anymore. In fact, he didn't want to say so much, there was only one reason why he complained so much, that is, the TV station had given the actor in advance without greeting.

The TV station does think that the reason for the failure of the last drama is that there are no big names, and they firmly believe that if Lee Hyo-ri appears, they will definitely be able to suppress KBS and MBC and become a topic drama in Korea. So this time, the TV station finally asked the relationship to go through the back door, saying that Ji Jin-hee was moved to appear in this pick-up drama, but they forgot the proper procedure and notified the director and writer.

If it is a well-known screenwriter, whether Ji Jinxi is suitable or not, as long as the writer is willing, he can completely go back, and if it is publicized or the TV station breaks the rules, the writers' association may intervene. It's just that who made Zhang Che a newcomer, the station handed over the task of bullying the newcomer to Liu Renzhi, no way, who made you a signed PD and an old qualified director.

Yoo In-sik also wanted to scold his mother, but for Ji Jin-hee's sake, just think about it. Ji Jin-hee is also a very popular actor at the moment anyway, and his acting skills are also very good, and his fit for the role is also good.

It's just that how to convince Zhang Che, rookie writers are also writers, not to mention, Jin Yinglan is not such a person to mess with.
