Chapter 58

February 29, 2004 is the most important day after Jang Cheol came to South Korea, because the first half of the 5th episode of Xman, which is the day when the ratings of the first half of the second phase of the revised version proposed by Jang Cheol came out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early this morning, Zhang Che woke up before 8 o'clock, and went online to brush the ratings for the first time, and it was not until 9 o'clock that the latest ratings report was updated on the Internet, Zhang Che was relieved, and the 22.4% ratings were not much higher than the previous period, but they were still stable at more than 20%. This shows that the audience is not going for special guests or some other factors, and the program link firmly grasps the audience's attention in order to maintain the ratings.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhang Che to receive a notice from writer Kim Young-lan that he would hold a meeting at 1 p.m. to discuss the full revision of the show. On the phone, Jin Yinglan asked Zhang Che to prepare, this time he may really put some game links on the agenda, and he must defend well. Zhang Che understood that this was a hint from Kim Yinglan's writer that the "of course" link might really be on the agenda.

Before 12 noon, Zhang Che hurriedly finished eating and went out. The preparation of some materials has been completed, in fact, there is no need to go to the TV station so early, but Zhang Che always has a feeling of unsteadiness in his heart, feeling that arriving early will make him feel at ease.

Zhang Che thought he was early, but he didn't expect that there would be one earlier than him, that is, the three MCs - Liu Zaishi, Jiang Hudong, and Jin Jidong.

Zhang Che hurriedly greeted the three MCs, and greeted him very formally in the workplace, this is one of the "workplace rules" taught to him by Liu Zaishi, you can be as affectionate as you want in private, and when it comes to formal workplaces, the etiquette must be maintained.

The three MCs looked up and saw that it was Zhang Che who came, said hello, and continued to discuss there regardless of Zhang Che. Zhang Che obediently found a chair, sat down next to the three MCs, and sorted out his own information while listening to the discussion of the three MCs.

It didn't take long for the main creators of the program group to come, Cao Hyo-jin PD, Jang Hyuk-jae PD, Kim Young-ran writers, etc. all entered the meeting one by one, and even the director of the legendary Variety Show Bureau also attended the meeting, but he only made some encouraging speeches and guarantees before the meeting began, and left after speaking.

Everyone knows that this arrangement is for the leaders of the Variety Show Bureau to earn political achievements, but for them, whose political achievements are not what they should care about, what they care about is how much support resources the program team can get, as well as their own interests.

Although SBS is a private enterprise, it actually has a semi-official background in it, so for PD, VJ, and writers, the work is basically an iron rice bowl, and the income depends on bonuses.

So the first sentence of the meeting, Cao Xiaozhen PD said: "Thank you very much for your hard work these days, the leaders of the bureau have agreed that if the ratings of our program can exceed 30% by the end of the year, all our staff will be rewarded with 14 months' salary at the end of the year." ”

There are not many variety shows that break through 20% now, let alone 30%, that is, the highest ratings of many TV dramas called "hit dramas" cannot exceed 30%. It stands to reason that this is a very difficult request, but it seems that everyone from PD to lighting team leader is full of confidence. All of this is due to the confidence in the program, the 4 episodes were broadcast, although these 4 episodes took half a year, but the results were really good, breaking through the 20% mark in the shortest time, so everyone will be full of hope for 30%, after all, there is still more than half a year, and the program is on the regular again.

What follows is some discussion on the program resources and links, and now the leadership group of Cho Hyo-jin and Jang Hyuk-jae as the main PD and Kim Young-lan as the main writer has basically been formed, and many things are decided by these three people.

After arranging the tasks of the props group, lighting group, and VJ group, Cao Xiaozhen asked them to go out first, and now there are only two PDs, three MCs, writer Kim Yinglan and Zhang Che left in the conference room.

"Writer Kim, do you have any good game proposals for your writers' group?" asked Kim Young-lan.

"First of all, I hope that the program team will increase the number of people in our writer group, and there are only two of us left in our group. Jin Yinglan helplessly pointed at herself and Zhang Che, and said, "The scripts of so many guests are really too busy for the two of us. ”

In fact, it turned out that the standard configuration of the writer's group was three people, but a rookie sister before Zhang Che was borrowed by the PD of "Popular Ballads", I heard that the mix was good, and they all started to do FD, so it was naturally impossible to come back and continue to be a writer, and now they are two people, and they are indeed a little too busy.

"Well, I'll figure it out, now let's discuss if there are any good suggestions for the next part of the show. Cao Xiaozhen pointed to the topic.

Jin Yinglan actually asked this question on the one hand, it was really too busy, and on the other hand, it was also a temptation. Cao Xiaozhen added people, and said that the program team now attaches great importance to the writer group, and if you don't add people, you can also pave the way for the "of course" game, you can't agree to one or both, it affects the enthusiasm very much.

Who knew that Cao Xiaozhen didn't pick up the stubble, and Jin Yinglan didn't know what to do, but PD wanted to give face, so he still took out the information and motioned to Zhang Che to make an introduction.

"PDnin, this is the material for the new game session. Zhang Che finished distributing the introduction materials and began to speak orally.

The new part is named "Of course", "Of course" This game is played: it is to answer "of course" after the opponent asks a question as an attack, and then makes a question that attacks the opponent. SO TO WIN THIS GAME, THE WAY TO MAKE THE OTHER PARTY BE KNOCKED DOWN IS TO ASK THE QUESTION TO BE RUTHLESS ENOUGH, SPICY ENOUGH, AND SHARP ENOUGH, SO THAT THE OTHER PARTY CAN'T SAY "OF COURSE" AFTER LISTENING TO THE QUESTION, THEN YOU WILL NATURALLY WIN. ”

"Then how do I decide, what if I keep insisting on saying it for granted?" asked Jang Hyuk-jae.

"Generally, some questions will be designed that are difficult to answer, so that the other party can't answer, if you meet the kind of person who has a strong desire to win, you need the main MC and the auxiliary MC to see the scene to force the end of the game. Zhang Che replied, to be honest, "Of course" this game is sometimes easy to catch fire, fortunately, the three MCs at that time were all first-class MCs, and they were all MCs known for their field control ability.

"Do the three MCs have a problem?" Cao Xiaozhen turned his head and asked the three MCs.

"No problem on our side. Liu Zaishi replied as a representative, this is what they were actually discussing just now, how to cooperate with the control of the field.

"Okay, the script will be handed over to the two writers, I hope the script will be impactful and topical. Cao Xiaozhen said conclusively, "Is there any other problem? ”

Zhang Che was a little stunned for a while, he thought that the new link that could only be decided by talking about words and swords was solved in less than 3 minutes, he looked at the writer Jin Yinglan, and found that this person was also very surprised, but Liu Zaishi and a few others had very calm expressions.

Zhang Che couldn't figure it out for a while, but Jin Yinglan understood, before today's meeting, it was estimated that Cao Xiaozhen was going to start the "of course" link, just kidding, the three MCs plus the support of the main writer, how could Cao Xiaozhen not consider the consequences, anyway, it's just a game link, if it's good, everything is fine, it's not good to cut it, and offending the three MCs and the main writer for this is a brain disease.

As for the guests that Kim Yinglan was worried about before, the opposition of the brokerage company, etc., it was all floating clouds here in Cao Xiaozhen. Now this is a weekend ace variety show with 20% ratings, if you want to be on it, cooperate with us, if you don't cooperate, don't be on it, in the final analysis, ratings are king. Of course, it is also related to the fact that none of the people who come to the show are big names, if there is a Zhang Dongjian, Yuan Bin, Song Hye Kyo, An Shengji, Cao Xiaozhen really dare to change the program to cooperate with them, the store is a big bully, and the customer is a big bully, in fact, it can be converted to a certain extent.

It's just that Jin Yinglan was unhappy, she felt that she was being swept away by Cao Xiaozhen, and when she heard Cao Xiaozhen say that she had nothing to do, she sincerely said: "Of course." ”

"Oh, what else, Writer Kim. Cao Xiaozhen also knew that he seemed to be in the writer's group, so he was very humble to ask for advice at this time.

Jin Yinglan has any problems and ideas, the biggest problem has been solved in one sentence. She just casually said that she was adding to the blockage, and now if she wants her to say it, she really doesn't know what to say for a while, so she can only signal Zhang Che and quickly pick it up.

Although Zhang Che didn't understand why he passed the "of course" game so easily, he really had a problem to say when he saw that Jin Yinglan asked him to continue.

"Regarding the number of guests on the show, can we increase it more, preferably some funny artists or artists who can put down their image. Zhang Che suggested.

"Why?" Cao Xiaozhen asked.

"Of course, it's impossible for all the guests in the game to follow the script exactly, it's too rigid, and not everyone can happily put down the image, so you need someone who can cooperate with the MC and put down the image, and sometimes even self-sacrifice. Zhang Che explained.

Cao Xiaozhen thought about it, and indeed from the perspective of the show, having such a person here can make the process more interesting, and it can also ensure that there will be no bad rumors. So he nodded and said, "Is there a good candidate?"

Zhang Che's throat moved, and he held back, he wanted to directly say Shin Jung-hwan, HAHA, Park Myung-so, but it seems that these people are now unknown to a certain extent, and HAHA is also very plain when there is no Kim Jong Kook to participate, he is famous for imitating the songs and dances of Kim Jong Kook's TURBO period.

So he thought about it, turned his head and asked the three MCs, "Do the three brothers have any good candidates to recommend?"

Liu Zaishi is very satisfied with Zhang Che's reaction, this matter should have been a decision made by the MC, and it is a good thing to sell favors, Zhang Che does not have so many contacts behind the scenes, they are artists, especially funny artists, attach great importance to this aspect of things, Zhang Che can get the favor of the MC if he lets it out.

Sure enough, Jiang Hudong thought about it and spoke first: "There is a candidate on my side, former Roo'ra member Shin Zhenghuan, this person has a very relaxed image and a certain popularity. ”

Liu Zaishi said with a smile: "This person is good, my brother is fat like a pig, and Shen Zhenghuan is thin like a chicken, an excellent contrast." ”

Jiang Hudong smiled helplessly, he was born as a strong man in the world, although he is much thinner than when he was an athlete, but compared with Shen Zhenghuan, the contrast is indeed too great, that person is really thin like a chicken.

"What about Brother Jidong?" Cao Xiaozhen also smiled and approved the candidate selected by Jiang Hudong, and turned his head to ask Jin Jidong.

"I'm honest enough to be ugly on my side, so I'll do funny things, and I'll be Zhong Min on my side, he has a good image and is stupid, and it's easier for people to forgive him for saying the wrong thing. Kim Jidong replied.

Yoo Jae-seok and Kang Ho-dong both know that this is Kim Ji-dong taking care of Kim Jong-min, and Cho Hyo-jin also knows the situation of this artist, because he broke his head when he was a child, Kim Jong-min has had brain problems since he was a child, and his reaction is slow, and sometimes he has to be explained by Shin Zhi when he speaks. But I am very optimistic, and I am happy to smile when I see people. So in the entertainment industry, this person can be said to be very popular, and there is no reason to oppose him as an assistant Cao Xiaozhen.

"Well, okay, go back and trouble the two of you to contact Shin Jung-hwan and Kim Jong-min and tell them what the program team thinks. Cho Hyo-jin accepted the proposal, and continued: "If there is no problem, all departments will cooperate seriously, Writer Kim will complete the script of the first issue as soon as possible, and Brother Ji Dong and Brother Hu Dong will finalize the itinerary of Shin Jung-hwan and Kim Jong-min as soon as possible, and all departments will move, and we will start filming a new episode of Xman this weekend." ”
