Chapter 299: All for the Ratings (Part I) (First Update)
Han Producer and Lee Yoon-jung were embarrassed, and Yoon Eun-hye also wanted to dodge, she already regretted her big mouth just now. At this time, around the editing room in the backyard of the coffee shop where the four of them were, there were already a large number of crew members probing their brains.
This is actually a matter of course, not to mention that Jin Zhongming's roar before made the small café instantly commotion, causing everyone to look at it in embarrassment and nervousness, and when they found that there were four people standing in the place where the roar came from, the male number one, the female number one, the director, and the producer, it is no exaggeration to say that the whole crew has begun to waver.
Han Supervisor was anxious at the moment, he was really uncomfortable being suppressed by Jin Zhongming, to be honest, for a moment he thought about tearing his face and thinking about threatening with cruel words, but he didn't know what was going on, as soon as he heard Jin Zhongming's voice, he couldn't help but think of Ahn Sung-ki and Cui Min-sik who were standing faintly behind the other party, and he didn't dare to yell back at all. Therefore, in the end, he could only look at Jin Changwan who came to observe the situation in the distance with the voice, hoping that the other party could come over and say something, after all, you are a senior, and the age is there, no matter what Jin Zhongming says, he will give some face.
"Let's settle our accounts slowly!" And just when Jin Changwan wanted to come over and speak, Jin Zhongming suddenly spoke, he had already discovered Jin Changwan's movements, so he didn't give this person a chance to speak, he took the lead in saying a cruel word to the Han supervisor who was looking everywhere, if this senior came over to be the arbiter, wouldn't he be yelling in vain?
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but when everyone wanted to take things to heart and go back to work for the time being, they were stopped by Jin Zhongming.
"Assistant Director Wang, you go and inform all the members of the crew, from the lighting engineer to the scene, from the group performance to the starring role. All of them are gathered here, and I, director Lee Yoon-jung, and Sister Eun Hye have something to say. ”
"Oh, oh!" Assistant Director Wang was stunned for a moment, but then nodded in agreement.
The audience reacted differently.
All the other crew members were nervous but a little curious on the one hand; Yoon Eun-hye looked at Kim Jong-ming blankly, she couldn't have imagined that this person who usually laughed like her own little brother would change into a person within five minutes; Lee Yoon-jung also sighed, although she was a director. And she has always had the support of the screenwriter, and it stands to reason that she is the biggest on this set, but the influence of the title of a rookie director and the natural shortness of Korean women in the workplace make it impossible for her to control the situation at all.
But the most uncomfortable person in the audience was Producer Han, who no longer wiped his sweat at the moment, because he was already sweating profusely. Just now Kim Jong-ming convened this meeting in the name of three people but didn't bring him, what does this mean? This shows that Kim Jong-ming will definitely not look for Lee Yun-jeong's stubble for the sake of the TV series, but will unconditionally regard himself as a scapegoat or a cylinder to vent his anger, but he is really powerless, and his identity as a producer is usually very deterrent to actors. But in the face of this Jin Zhongming, he really couldn't get up. Because he was the first actor to appear in an MBC TV series, it was of great significance, and even the president (director) came to pay his respects in person, so it was impossible not to consider the impact. The second is that the relationship between the other party itself in the actor industry is too hard, and he can't move if he wants to!
"It's a hot day, and you're all crammed together for a sauna. Just when the producer Han was thinking nonsense, Kim Jong-ming was already standing at the door of the editing room and talking to the crew members gathered in the backyard. "But there's a reason for doing this, me, Sister Eun Hye, and director Lee Yoon-jeong. The three of us just argued about some things, because these things concern the whole crew. I think I still have to tell you about it, and ask for some opinions by the way. ”
None of the people present were fools, including the youngest Lin Yun'er, so the audience waited quietly for Kim Jong-ming to continue.
"That's right, our TV series is currently a big success, and it has reached the threshold of 30% ratings. There is no need to doubt that it will be maintained at 30% in the finale. So, we discussed it a few times and decided to add an episode and take some steps to take the TV series to the next level. I wonder what everyone thinks?"
"No problem!"
"What's this?"
"Okay!"
Approvals have come and gone.
"But Zhong Ming, what are you arguing about if that's the case?" Jin Changwan asked in surprise. He is the only one in the audience who is qualified to ask this question for the crew, this is the culture of the seniors and seniors in South Korea.
"It's such a senior, we had a conflict with the Korean producer because of the salary. Kim Jong-ming replied calmly, causing Yoon Eun-hye, Lee Yoon-jung and even Han Producer to look at him in surprise, do you really dare to say it in the open?
"Is Zhong Ming dissatisfied with the salary?" Jin Changwan also instinctively thought about it according to the conventional idea. "I also understand the current situation of your value, and everyone is grateful that you can join us at this price. But Zhong Ming, I'll just say it directly, you and Producer Han can go to the headquarters of MBC TV to talk about this kind of topic, there's no need."
"It's not like that, the seniors misunderstood. Jin Zhongming walked up and down the steps with one hand on his waist, and the other hand stretched out to stop the other party from continuing. "I'm the starring actor of this TV series, and so is Sister Enhui, and we are both responsible, we won't quarrel over boring topics like personal salary, say something unpleasant, for a week, if I want to get money, I can just take an endorsement advertisement or something, why suffer here on a hot day?"
"What do you mean?" Kim Chang was surprised, while Yoon Eun-hye and Lee Yoon-jung were completely stunned.
"In fact, I came up with a plan where all the actors were paid to take over the last episode. Kim Jong-myeong's words were really earth-shattering, and the audience fell silent in an instant, and Yoon Eun-hye and Lee Yoon-jung hurriedly looked up at the sky, they were afraid that their strange appearance would be seen by the crew.
"That's what I thought. Jin Zhongming ignored everyone's reactions, but continued to talk to himself. "As I just said, actors really don't rely on their salaries to make money, they rely on popularity, TV dramas go up, with popularity, there may be advertisements, why care about the salary of one or two episodes?"
"Actually, it's not impossible, everyone is working hard for this TV series, the salary for one episode is just two or three days of filming, and you, the male number one who pays the most for the most scenes, are willing, what can't we do?"
"Brother Shanjun is right. Jin Zhongming nodded. "But Sister Eunhui objected to my proposal. ”
Yin Enhui continued to look at the sky in forty-five summer clothes, and she didn't know what the scorching sun above her head was so beautiful! And the reason why she was so relieved was because she knew that Jin Zhongming would not pit her anyway, and even if she did, she would be pitted, who would let herself owe this kid a big favor?
"Sister Enhui said to me, you kid is too idealistic. Kim Jong-ming didn't look at Yoon Eun-hye's reaction, nor did he pay attention to the reactions of the people under the steps, and continued to make nonsense. She said, for us protagonists or famous supporting actors, there is really no need to care about the salary of an episode, but what about the hard-working extras? What about the newcomer actors who have just entered the industry and are still making a living? The salary of an episode is likely to be a month's ramen. ”
"Oh!" Many actors in marginal roles have already looked at Yoon Eun Hye with grateful eyes, but Yoon Eun Hye is still looking at the sky at the moment, she is not afraid that her eyes will flicker this time, but that she is afraid that she will blush.
"After all, this sister has a lot of experience, and what she said makes a lot of sense, so Sister Enhui and I agreed together, that is, all the main supporting roles and the four leading actors are paid zero, and the rest of the staff and extras continue to receive normal salaries. Then we came to director Lee Yoon-jeong, and we happened to meet the producer Han. Jin Zhongming said and stared coldly at Producer Han. "Producer Han vetoed our opinion, so I was young and impulsive and had a quarrel with Producer Han just now. ”
"Producer Han was shocked, my feelings are for me to carry all the black cauldrons? Although this position is to carry the black cauldron, but you can't let me finish it alone?
"I also understand what Producer Han means. Kim Jong-ming stared at the sweating producer Han and said. And he is the producer of the TV station, and saving money is his first priority, so he hopes that all the crew members will shoot the 17th episode with zero pay. ”
The eyes of the audience looking at Producer Han were not good.
"Zhong Ming, I, I didn't mean that" The beads of sweat on the head of Producer Han are iron-clad evidence in the eyes of the members of the whole crew, why didn't you say it just now?
"Don't you mean that when the sixteenth episode arrives, gather everyone together, and then put forward the idea publicly, and then as long as one person agrees, the rest will agree if they don't?" Kim Jong-ming sneered.
"This matter ends here!" Li Yunzhen no longer hesitated, she took the initiative to stand up, but her next sentence made Producer Han fall into an ice cave. "My point of view is very clear, that is, according to Zhong Ming's meaning, not only a few leading actors and a few important supporting roles, but I will also participate in the last episode with zero pay, as for the ordinary staff and other actors, the salary is still the same. ”
Jin Zhongming immediately looked at Jin Changwan.
"No problem! I said, just do it!" Kim Changwan stood up and made the final decision as the actor's representative. "Don't ask who gets paid and who doesn't, I'll write a list, and then notify the individual, and tell me what the error is. ”
PS: First of all, I wanted to be ten more today, and because of Saturday's hard work, today's ten is no problem, but I found that if you want to divide the volume, you can't have a manuscript, in other words, if you want to divide the volume today, I have to risk a certain point of convulsion within an hour to divide the volume, so let me explain, today and tomorrow each 6 more, in fact, it is to split today's ten more, this is really not my promise, I need to divide the volume, and I was afraid of a certain point.
