Chapter 51 Career Planning
Naturally, Liu Haizhen was dissatisfied. wrote "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and Jin Yurui, who had a rift with the Variety Show Bureau because of the launch of the program, also became more and more dissatisfied with the TV station under the influence of Liu Haizhen.
Liu Haizhen was just unhappy at first, and the TV station stole the benefits he created for himself, but later he had a new idea - to start a variety show production company!
In fact, there are variety show production companies in South Korea, but these companies are more labor dispatch companies than production companies. These companies only provide program team personnel other than PDs and writers, while the core of a program group is PDs and writers. So these companies simply don't have the ability to produce shows on their own, they lack brains.
Television stations also don't allow production companies to produce their own programs, which would cause them to lose control of the program. Although over the years, the control of TV stations over variety shows has become lower and lower. I knew that there was no production company before, and the entire program team was all employees of the TV station.
What Liu Haizhen wants to do is to let the TV station completely let go.
The TV station only needs to manage the broadcasting, the production of the program is handled by the program team itself, the funds are provided by the investors, and the final income is divided equally among the three parties. This is what Liu Haizhen wants.
The station does not invest, which reduces the risk. The production team avoided direct intervention by the TV station and gained autonomy. Investors can not only get the publicity effect, but also get a share of the profits in terms of copyright.
However, it is not easy to pry the high-ranking big names of the TV station, who value power more than anything else, even if this power does not necessarily bring good results.
But now that Jin Yurui has "defected" from the TV station and joined him, if he can find a few more PDs with enough qualifications, then this shelf can be erected. Once the shelves are erected, it's time to start prying the TV station.
MLT's ratings are gradually rising, and now they will soon exceed 10%, you must know that the ratings of RunningMan some time ago were only hovering around 10%, not to mention that RunningMan is still SBS's weekend ace variety show. And this show is the trump card that Liu Haizhen used to pry the TV station.
Among the three major wireless television stations, MBC is a private television station, which is more liberal than KBS and SBS in many aspects. Start with MBC, the difficulty will be much lower, after all, MBC is really short of money now.
As long as the advantages of this model are proven by cooperating with MBC, it will be much easier to capture SBS. As for KBS, Yoo Hae-jin never considered it, and the state-owned television station has always been known for its stubbornness. If you want KBS to agree with this model, it will take two or three years for most TV stations to accept this model, and then KBS itself will choose this model.
And if you want to build a company that has enough strength to produce a show, talent is indispensable. In Korea, people who want to become PDs choose TV stations, which is an important reason why many production companies lack producers and can only become labor dispatch companies.
However, since Lee Myung-han PD defected to tvN TV with a group of PDs who originally belonged to KBS, many PDs who have strength or think they have strength have come up with new ideas. Although Luo Yingshi claimed that he left because of KBS's constraints on two days and one night, in fact, it was still the word for profit.
The copyright of a series of variety shows he planned on tvN belongs to him and tvN. In other words, tvN sells the rights to the program, and he can also profit from it. In fact, the rights to the Trick series he produced after he went to tvN were sold to Tomato, and he also earned a lot of royalties from them.
There aren't many PDs who are willing to give up their lucrative and stable jobs at TV stations, but that's because it's hard for independent producers to make shows on TV. Although the penetration rate of cable stations is gradually increasing, wireless stations still occupy a large number of viewers. In addition to perverts like Luo Yingshi, it is difficult for cable TV variety shows to achieve more than 10% ratings, basically 4%-5% is already a high rating.
And Roommate, which is about to end, has a minimum rating of 4%, which is the difference between wireless and wired stations.
This is also the reason why Park so-sung would rather take a break for a while than think about being an independent producer.
"Haizhen, I won't hide it from you, I thought about resigning when the death penalty was pronounced on this show. ”
Park Xiucheng, who was flushed from drinking, said a little vaguely.
"I was in the conference room and the director announced that Roommate had gotten off in front of so many people, and I felt so humiliated at that moment. ”
As soon as the meeting was over, I went back to my desk in a rage, took out a pen and paper, tried to write a letter of resignation, and left. ”
"After so many years of hard work, I finally had such an opportunity to plan a show of my own. I thought that from now on I would become a well-known PD like Luo Yingshi and Kim Tae-ho, but the reality is so cruel. ”
"Roommate didn't last even a year, and it started out well and got worse and worse. ”
"I'm beginning to wonder if there is any point in persisting for so many years......"
"But when I think about it, I've put in so much effort to finally reach this position, how can I give up so easily?"
"It took me three years to go from rookie FD to auxiliary PD. It took me two years to go from a music program assistant PD to a regular variety show assistant PD. It took me three years to go from secondary PD to primary PD. Seven years in total! How many seven years are there in life?"
"Seven years of hard work cannot be in vain. And being an independent producer is no different than quitting!"
Park so-sung said dejectedly.
Liu Haizhen nodded, understanding what he meant. If Roommate is successful, then becoming an independent producer is a good choice. However, now that Roommate has failed, he has lost the capital he can rely on.
Luo Yingshi can have that kind of treatment, also because of the ratings of those who have never come before or after two days and one night.
This society is very realistic, especially in the entertainment industry, everything only depends on the results.
"So, brother, what do you think if I can give you the same or even better treatment as Luo Yingshi's PD?"
Liu Haizhen lowered his voice and whispered in Park so-sung's ear.
