Shi Zhenqiu's cheerfulness caught Lee Jung-sub off guard.

He looked panicked and kept waving his hands.

"No, Screenwriter Shi, don't be kidding. Really, I mean, I really want to take over this show, and I hope you can seriously think about it. ”

Only then did Shi Zhenqiu know that his happiness had actually scared others.

He laughed, pulled out the script from his bag, opened it, and pushed it in front of Lee Jung-sub.

"Brother, do you think I'm joking?"

Lee Jung-sub didn't know why, so he had to look down.

But with just one glance, he seemed to have been hit by the immobilization technique, and his expression froze.

In his sight, he happened to see that on the first page of the script written by Shi Zhenqiu, all he had written about his expectations for the candidates for various positions in this play.

In the director position in the first column, the intended candidate is none other than him Lee Jung-sub.

So that means that even if he doesn't come to Shi Zhenqiu, it won't be long before the other party will find him in person and invite him to direct this play.

Thinking about what was going on, Lee Jung-sub was very excited, and even more tearful.

I really can't imagine that in his most difficult time, Shi Zhenqiu, who once only had a few faces, trusted himself more.

"Stone screenwriter ......"

Lee Jung-sub shook his hands, gently rubbed the script, and put his name on it for a long time. I'm afraid that in the blink of an eye, the name will change.

Seeing his emotions in his eyes, Shi Zhenqiu smiled gently: "How is it, brother, do you still think I said it casually?"

Lee Jung-sub wiped his face indiscriminately and cleaned up all the eye feces, tears, and the like.

"Do you really think I'm a good fit for this play?"

Shi Zhenqiu was much more serious.

"After writing the script, I studied a lot of directors. Choose and choose, only your style is the best fit for this play. ”

Of course he is talking nonsense, choosing Lee Jung-sub, that is the information provided by the voice.

Anyway, it's someone you know, someone you don't know, it's better to have fertilizer and water that doesn't flow into the fields of outsiders.

Anyway, when he learned that he was Shi Zhenqiu's director, Lee Jung-sub suddenly became proud.

Those dogs, tell you dogs to look down on people, and think that Lao Tzu will be completely finished if he fails in a play.

Let me take a good look at it now, I, Lee Jung-sub, am an immortal existence.

After leveling Lee Jung-sub, Shi Zhenqiu looked at Min Do-hoon.

"If what I expected is right, Director Min is also here for this play, right?"

To be honest, what Shi Zhenqiu didn't expect was that KBS was actually the first TV station to come to the door.

This is not to say that he lacks trust in other broadcasting agencies, but he actually understands the real reason.

Other TV stations should be on the sidelines.

Shi Zhenqiu's reputation is growing day by day, and his works are better than the other, so everyone is a little unsure of what price to give him.

Everyone wants to see what price other opponents will give, and then increase it according to the situation, hoping to reap the fruits in the end.

As a result, in this kind of mutual wait-and-see, KBS, which has less contact with Shi Zhenqiu, became the first TV station to come to the door.

Min Do-hoon didn't know about this yet.

As the director of the KBS Television Production Bureau, he has only one responsibility, and that is to hope to introduce Shi Zhenqiu's new drama and give a shot in the arm to KBS's decadent TV drama field.

That's right, KBS has long been a leader in Japanese dramas.

Even if MBC has produced masterpieces such as "You Are My Destiny", it cannot be compared to KBS as a whole.

However, what is more embarrassing is that KBS has always been relatively weak in terms of regular dramas.

Shuimu dramas, Jintu dramas, etc., rarely have any masterpieces, so they can only follow the other two to eat soil.

In particular, last year's "IRIS" was a big loss for KBS because of the disproportionate investment and expected returns.

Because of this incident, the previous director was removed.

After Min Do-hoon took office, he thought about how he could make a difference in the field of evening dramas, consolidate his position, and go further by the way.

For him, Shi Zhenqiu's new drama is an opportunity.

He is willing to pay a bigger price for this opportunity.

"That's right, Screenwriter Shi, we at KBS are here with sincerity, and we hope to establish a good cooperative relationship with you. Screenwriter Shi also knows that we KBS are national television stations and have the widest audience in the country. If you put your new drama on KBS, it will definitely be seen by more viewers. ”

Min Do-hoon hurriedly introduced the advantages of KBS, hoping to impress Shi Zhenqiu.

At any given time, national television has an advantage that other television stations cannot match, and that is audience coverage.

Basically, if you have a TV, you will be able to watch KBS.

On the contrary, MBC and SBS are much weaker in this regard.

It's a pity that the advantages mentioned by Min Daoxun were not too cared about by Shi Zhenqiu.

South Korea is so big, and KBS's so-called audience coverage is actually not a big advantage.

Shi Zhenqiu already has specific ideas for the sale of TV series.

"If you want to buy this play, I have two conditions. ”

Min Do-hoon cheered up.

"Speak. ”

Shi Zhenqiu pondered for a moment before he spoke: "I won't ask too much for the price of each episode of the TV series, but our production company needs to get 5% of the advertising revenue, as well as 10% of the overseas distribution rights, and 15% of the DVD and Internet use. ”

In fact, Korean TV dramas are sold to TV stations, and the price has not been very high.

Korean film and television production companies make hard-earned money most of the time.

Only the works of a few famous screenwriters can be sold at a good price and make a little more.

The rest are cheap TV stations.

Now Shi Zhenqiu is also a famous screenwriter, so he should be able to ask for more prices. But his ambitions are even bigger, and he doesn't just focus on the cost of selling.

What if the TV series sells at a sky-high price per episode, there are only 30 episodes in total, how much can it be sold?

Add to that the fees paid to the actors, crew, and production, how much profit can there be in the end?

But Shi Zhenqiu knows very well that a popular TV series, advertising, peripherals, overseas copyrights, network copyrights, DVDs, etc., is the big head.

So he started from these aspects, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

At the same time, he was very measured and didn't ask for a lot. All required share ratios are controlled below 15 percent.

This is a very sensitive line, and Min Dohoon is not up or down, and he is hesitant.

If he asked for a little more, then Min Do-hoon said that he would not agree to anything.

He didn't dare to agree, otherwise the top brass above would have to oust him.

But in any case, the production company wants to share the advertising revenue and so on, which is equivalent to grabbing money from the TV station.

On the one hand, it is to revive KBS's evening drama and take its prestige to the next level. On the other hand, it is a major transfer of interests, but it has not reached the point of pain.

For a while, Min Daoxun fell into deep thought and was speechless for a long time.

Shi Zhenqiu was not in a hurry, poured coffee for Li Zhengxie, and then the two unfolded the script and discussed.

Anyway, no matter whether he can negotiate with KBS in the end, he is ready to use Lee Jung-sub as the director.

The two talked a lot about speculation here.

In particular, Lee Jung-sub accurately grasped Shi Zhenqiu's train of thought and knew his concept of structuring this play.

In this way, when he directs, he knows what to do, so that he can control the main line and not deviate from the screenwriter's vision.

A full hour passed, during which Min Do-hoon also went out once.

Shi Zhenqiu knew that with such a big decision, Rao is Min Daoxun is director, and it is impossible to make a decision directly.

He must have gone out to consult the head office or even the president, and maybe he had to convince him, which is why it took so long.

But when Min Daoxun came back, Shi Zhenqiu noticed that this guy was full of red light and high spirits.

Sure enough, after Min Daoxun sat down, the first thing he said proved his guess.

"Screenwriter Shi, I now officially inform you that your conditions have been accepted by our KBS. ”

It seems that KBS has suffered so much in terms of TV dramas that it wants to be able to make a comeback from top to bottom.

Shi Zhenqiu smiled, not very excited.

Because he knew that the conditions he proposed were not too excessive. Even SBS and MBC are quite likely.

"Can I put forward a second condition?"

Min Daoxun then remembered that Shi Zhenqiu had two conditions.

He couldn't help but get nervous.

"Screenwriter Shi, the second condition won't be so harsh, right?"

Although the first condition KBS accepted, this did not prevent Min Do-hoon from crying out.

Business negotiations, no matter how you do them, are just a means to gain bargaining chips.

Shi Zhenqiu shook his head, this time there was no delay.

"My second condition is that I hope this drama can be broadcast during the time slot of Shuimu drama, there should be no problem, right?"

As soon as he heard that this was the case, Min Do-hoon let out a sigh of relief and regained his smile.

"Of course there's no problem, it's decided, we're scheduled for the Shuimu drama period. ”

As long as Shi Zhenqiu is producing an evening drama, it doesn't matter if KBS is here.

Whether it's a water and wood drama, a Jintu drama, or a Jinyao drama, all of them can be accepted.

Seeing that KBS accepted both conditions, Shi Zhenqiu was also a lot more relaxed.

He held out his hand to Min Do-hoon.

"If KBS can accept the price of 150 million per episode, then we are considered closed. ”

Min Daoxun's figure was stunned, and then there was a huge surprise.

"Hey Yigu, screenwriter Shi, this ...... This...... Thank you so much. Rest assured, you will be our KBS friend, and this place will always be open for you in the future. ”

Can Min Do-hoon not be pleasantly surprised?

Shi Zhenqiu only asked for 150 million yuan in one episode, which is almost the same as the price of cabbage.

Originally, he planned to pay the price of 230 million per episode, but he didn't expect Shi Zhenqiu to give him such a big discount.

It's not that Shi Zhenqiu doesn't like money, but he knows very well that although the asking price for each episode is much lower, the part that is given up will earn more through advertising revenue, peripheral income, overseas copyright sales, and the opening of DVDs and other products.

Not to mention, Mystic89 and LUA Entertainment have received so many PPL advertisements nowadays.

In fact, on the whole, this time in "Bread King Jin Zhuoqiu", Shi Zhenqiu's total income is more than three times that of the previous "Splendid Heritage".

Instead of arguing with the TV station on the cost of selling dramas, it is better to be generous, and you can also earn more from other houses in the future.

In any case, KBS was able to spend less money and get the work of top screenwriter Shi Zhenqiu, and Min Do-hoon's trip can be described as a big profit, and it was a perfect business negotiation.

Min Dohoon had already thought that after he went back like this, he would definitely get the president's praise.
