164 Only the Last Bulwark Left (II)

SBS is different from both KBS and MBC. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info is neither the most conservative nor the most open of the three major wireless television stations.

Luo Yingshi couldn't stand the conservatism of KBS and didn't want to be interfered with by the bureaucracy anymore, so he went to TVN. And Kim Tae-ho, who is similar to him, has been able to work on "Infinite Challenge" on MBC for ten years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. That's the difference between the two stations, one is too conservative and the other is very open.

MBC often goes on strike to cause programs to be taken off the air, and a lot of them, including Kim Tae-ho, have participated in strike marches. But they still work at MBC. This is absolutely impossible to achieve in KBS, and the majesty of big national television is not to be offended.

SBS, on the other hand, is the middle-of-the-road faction sandwiched between the two extremes.

In terms of innovation in program production, SBS is not small. But compared to MBC, it's a bit conservative. Moreover, although SBS is a private TV station, its essence is still controlled by the government. What those officials hate the most is the change of the system, or any change.

Before coming, Liu Haizhen was ready for failure. But what he didn't expect was that the failure would come so quickly.

"I'm sorry, Liu Haizhenxi, Deputy Director Cui is very busy with work now, and I can't find time to see you for the time being. Liu Haizhen didn't see the deputy director Cui at all, and was stopped by his assistant at the door of the variety show bureau.

"Isn't there even ten minutes?" Liu Haizhen frowned, he didn't expect the other party to even see him.

"I'm sorry. Although the assistant was apologetic, he had no intention of letting Liu Haizhen in.

"Alright then, please help me inform Deputy Director Cui, and I will come back again in the near future. Liu Haizhen had no choice but to give up today's meeting, and the prepared rhetoric was in vain.

――

"I can't figure it out!" Yoo Hae-jin complained to Park so-sung, sitting in a café near SBS. "That deputy director didn't even give me a chance to meet, could it be that I offended him before?"

"The deputy director is notoriously conservative, and it seems that he had a lot of conflicts with the radicals because he was too conservative when he was at Samsung. Park so-sung was also helpless to learn the result, after all, SBS was the place where he first started working, and he really didn't want to fall out with it completely if possible.

"Do you think there's another way?" Liu Haizhen asked as he took a sip of coffee that was still a little hot, frowned slightly, and slammed his mouth. Although SBS agrees or disagrees, it cannot prevent the establishment of his company, let alone the reform of the variety show production model. However, if you can get the support of SBS, then the company's development is bound to be much smoother. You must know that the Chinese version of SBS's ace variety show Runningman has created a ratings myth in China.

The Chinese market is dozens of times larger than South Korea, and it is an immature market. This means that there will be many more opportunities there than in South Korea. SBS has always attached great importance to the development of the Chinese market, whether it was "X-Man" or the current Runningman, it has a good click-through rate on China's online media.

If it can get the support of SBS, then Liu Haizhen can use it to enter the Chinese market and quickly gain a high level of popularity.

"Maybe there's a way!" Park Xiu was also at a loss, and he was about to give up, but suddenly saw a car driving in front of the café, and said with an idea. "Since the deputy director doesn't want to see you, why don't you go directly to see the director?"

"Are you kidding?" Liu Haizhen said in shock. "Could it be that the director will still turn against the deputy director for my plan?"

"Maybe!" Park Xiucheng smiled slightly, lowered his voice and said, "This deputy director is airborne." ”

"Let's talk about it specifically!" Liu Haizhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he approached Park Xiucheng and asked in a low voice.

"Deputy Director Cui is from Xijiang University, and he graduated from the Department of Electronics. Park so-sung glanced around and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear. Previously, he was only a civilian director of the Variety Show Bureau, and Ms. Park was directly promoted to the deputy director in charge of the variety show part in her second year on stage. ”

"Then according to what you say, it is even more impossible for the director to risk offending Ms. Park to help me!" Liu Haizhen asked puzzled.

"But this guy doesn't know how to restrain himself and offended the director of the variety show bureau!" Park Xiucheng spread his hands and said. "Jin Zhiquan, director of the variety show bureau, is the school junior and brother-in-law of the director, and even so, he has been in the variety show department for more than 20 years before he was promoted to the director. As a result, his former subordinate suddenly became his immediate boss one day, and he was very annoyed. ”

"It's okay if it's just like that, after all, the deputy director's office is upstairs, and it is not common to meet except for a meeting. The problem is that the deputy director has now directly moved his office to the Variety Show Bureau, not only to meet every day, but also directly from the first leader of the Variety Show Bureau to the third in command. Park so-sung was full of interest and talked about gossip he had heard elsewhere. And because the ratings of the program have not changed much, now the deputy director can be said to have directly begun to meddle in the work of the director, and the director can almost be said to be hollowed out. ”

"That's kind of interesting. Liu Haizhen groped his chin and smiled meaningfully.

"And recently, the director has been anxious. Park so-sung continued. "The cost of filming the law of the jungle is very high, but the ratings can only be said to be okay. Revenues and expenditures are only barely able to maintain occasional surpluses. And Runningman, while earning a lot of money from advertising, has ratings that don't match its time slot at all. Several programs have been launched during this time, but several programs will be cut in half. Taili is really in financial difficulties now, but it has to continue to maintain the status quo. If this is used as a breakthrough, we may be able to gain the trust of the director. ”

――

As Park so-sung said, now Director Huang Yinguang is really anxious.

In terms of variety shows, it has been at a disadvantage since the end of "X-Man". Although he relied on Runningman to regain some face when the ratings of "Two Days and One Night Season 2" dropped sharply due to various problems, when "Two Days and One Night Season 3" was launched, the situation returned to when it was pressed and beaten by KBS.

It can be said that if there was no blood transfusion in the Chinese and Southeast Asian markets, Runningman, the ace weekend variety show with low ratings, would have been cut in half by SBS.

and SBS's other leading variety show, the law of the jungle, the ratings are relatively okay, and the income is not cheap, but the expenditure is also huge.

The law of the jungle is different from ordinary variety shows, in order to ensure the safety of the actors, the production team must go to the decided recording location for inspection before the filming of the show. This can take as little as four or five days and as much as a month. The expenses during the period naturally cannot be less.

And the filming of this show is also different from other shows. Even if it's two days and one night, it's basically running around in South Korea, and the VJs can shoot other shows after filming this show.

But the law of the jungle is different, shooting for a long time in a distant overseas country, and there are all kinds of dangers such as infectious diseases, snakes, insects, rats, ants and other dangers that have never been encountered before, and who will do this if the salary is not high enough.

So although these two big trees support SBS, they also absorb its nutrients, so that it can no longer afford to try new variety shows.

Why hasn't Runningman's ratings been cut in half because it can make money, but also because SBS can't come up with a large-scale variety show that can be broadcast during this schedule.

"Director, there is a Liu Haizhen who said that he wants to see you. Huang Yinguang was holding the financial statements and had a headache about how to deal with the council, when he heard the assistant knock on the door and come in to report.

"Liu Haizhen, which Liu Haizhen is it?" Huang Yinguang thought that actor Liu Haizhen was coming to him, and then suddenly reacted that there was another Liu Haizhen who might also be looking for him, so he asked. "Ugly or handsome?"

"Pretty handsome. The assistant almost burst out laughing when he heard this, and reported with a suppressed smile.

"Got it, invite him to sit in the reception room, and I'll be there shortly. Huang Yinguang nodded and said.

After a while.

"Liu Haizhen xi, long admired the name. As soon as Huang Yinguang walked into the reception room, he saw Liu Haizhen sitting on the sofa waiting, and immediately stretched out his hand and walked towards him.

"Hello, Director Huang. Liu Haizhen also quickly stood up and stretched out his hand to say hello.

"I'm here to see you because I want your help with something. "I don't know much about what kind of character this director is, so Liu Haizhen's posture was relatively low at first.

"Please say it!" Huang Yinguang had already learned the basic situation of Liu Haizhen from his wife and brother just now, and also understood the purpose of his coming here, but he still followed his rhythm to talk.

"I have come up with a new variety production model, and if I use this model to produce variety shows, I can minimize the expenses of the TV station. Liu Haizhen took out the document that was originally prepared to persuade Deputy Director Cui and handed it to Huang Yinguang.

"The documentation is very well done. Huang Yinguang roughly flipped it and said approvingly. "It's much better than the dry food in the Taili. ”

"But documents are documents, and I've never liked paper. Just when Liu Haizhen thought that Huang Yinguang was playing here, he changed his voice, put the document on the coffee table, and said with a smile. "And this document of yours, which has been written on the reduction of expenditures, and the reduction of income and control has also been brushed off, it seems that the sincerity is a little lacking!"

"This matter is indeed my fault, and I should not be careful!" Liu Haizhen immediately bowed down and apologized, secretly saying in his heart that it was really an old fox. "But I think Director NIM also needs such an opportunity for cooperation at this time!"

"That's why you can continue to speak here!" Huang Yinguang sneered and said. "There are many people who know SBS's dilemma now, but you are still the first person who dares to fight SBS's idea. The first person to eat crabs should always be rewarded. Otherwise, based on your rude behavior just now, I would have had someone kick you out!" )
