Chapter 50: The End of Roommate
"Alright, the shooting is over. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
PD came out and said.
After the part of the etiquette introduction is over, Cao Shiho is about to go to the trip, and another Li Guozhu, who can preside over the overall situation, is not there. In addition, Lee Dong-wook, Ryohei Ohtani, and Park Jun-hyung are going to Yeoju to visit the mausoleum of King Sejong, and Youngji is also going to participate in the recording of the HIT manufacturing machine, so PD announced the end of filming.
In fact, it is not really the end of the shooting, but everyone is allowed to move freely, and there is no clear process, and you can do whatever you want. Fixed cameras will still shoot, but the footage will probably not be interesting.
"In that case, let's go to dinner!"
Liu Haizhen said.
Amber and Henry had other schedules so they left first, and Liu Haizhen didn't have anything to do when he went back, so he decided to invite everyone and the program team to dinner.
"Okay, so where are we going to have dinner?"
Jackson nodded.
"Just stay at home, buy some meat, and eat it in the yard. ”
Sunny suggested.
"Yes, after eating, I will go to the steam hall, and then go to the singing room. ”
Liu Haizhen added. This is basically the fixed process of the dinner, barbecue, steam hall, and singing room.
"The show has come to an end, so let's have dinner together. ”
PD nodded and said with a little sadness.
After Roommate changed the guest and show theme, the ratings went up a bit in the short term, but it has been declining since then. PD and guests have also made a lot of efforts for ratings, but the positioning of the program allows the program to invite many regular guests who have been popular recently, but it also makes it impossible for these guests to participate in the whole filming.
The ratings of the last episode of Roommate reached their lowest point since the restructuring, and SBS's variety show leaders could no longer tolerate a show that occupied prime time but only had single-digit ratings. Although the ratings of RunningMan in the same schedule also hovered between the single digit and the tenth, RunningMan is very popular in China and Southeast Asia. Although the ratings are not high, the income of the show is not low.
Roommate is different, this show has not gone abroad, and the domestic ratings are so low, the results naturally need not be said. After this episode is over, the last episode will be filmed. The next program will be a new project, with a number of programs that will be piloted during the Chinese New Year, and the successful programs will be selected to succeed Roommate.
Therefore, Roommate will continue to broadcast until the pilot of this project is successful. Fortunately, a lot of content was recorded before the program team, and it can still be played until April if you edit it.
But none of this has anything to do with this PD, as a main PD, Roommate is over, he will either take a break for a while, or come up with another excellent project, in short, he will not go to other shows to do auxiliary PD.
Therefore, at this time, he also had some confusion about the future.
As a result, when Liu Haizhen and Jackson went to buy the ingredients, they bought two cases of soju as he requested.
――
"Haizhen, why do you think our show just can't catch fire?"
After two bottles of soju were eaten, the PD named Park so-sung complained to Yoo Hae-jin, the only one who remained sober.
During the banquet, Liu Haizhen excused himself from drinking under the pretext of having a bad liver, and avoided this obviously venting drinking game. The crew of the production team lamented the end of the show, and the guests sighed because they had lost a fixed schedule, so they toasted each other, and in the end, even Sunny, who had a surprisingly good amount of alcohol, got drunk.
As far as the eye can see, three writers are already drunk, and two are drunk and crazy and hugging each other. The six VJs were so drunk that they couldn't speak clearly, but they still sat in a circle and chatted vaguely and bragged.
The two support PDs who are too drunk have been carried by Jackson and Bang Hae-jin to the bedroom on the first floor to rest, and then Jackson is also caught by Nana and Sunny to toast, and now the three of them are punching upstairs. So in the living room, only Park so-sung PD and Yoo Hae-jin were left two people who were still sober.
"PDnim, let's open some. ”
Liu Haizhen also met him for the first time, who knew that this guy would be so unrecognizable after getting drunk, and he grabbed himself and began to vomit bitterness.
"How do I want to start it? I also want the members to stay all the time, not to rush the schedule, and to record it well. I also want to invite MCs like Yoo Jae-seok and Shin Dong-yeol to host the show, but is it possible?"
"If you want to rely on the popularity of the members to drive the ratings, you have to find the members who are popular. Since people are popular, they naturally have a lot of itineraries. If you don't let them catch those trips, how can the show keep them?"
"From the launch of the show last year to the present, I have also made countless attempts and compromises. But in the end, it still ushered in such a result, I am really unwilling!"
"Brother Xiucheng, can I call you that?"
Liu Haizhen sighed and said.
"Hmm, of course!"
Park so-sung said, picked up the wine bottle, took another big sip of wine, and said a little vaguely.
"Has Brother Xiucheng ever considered becoming an independent producer like Luo Yingshi PD?"
Liu Haizhen has an idea, in the past few days, he has either participated in the show or invested in the show, and he also has a certain understanding of Korean variety shows. The original Hallyu was a TV series, then K-pop music, and now it is a triad of dramas, music, and variety shows.
With the development of Hallyu, Korean variety shows have become more and more professional, and there are also many capital operations behind them. Large groups like Samsung and LG invest a lot of money in variety shows every year for publicity.
In addition, many of South Korea's original variety show copyrights are sold to China, which also makes a lot of money. However, the copyrights of these programs are in the hands of TV stations, and investors only get publicity effects.
At first, Liu Haizhen was quite satisfied with this effect. But when he found out that he deserved more, he became dissatisfied with the TV station. MLT is a show, since the collapse of the negotiation with the director of the variety show, all the investment has been made by LL Technology. The TV station didn't pay a penny, but it could own the copyright of the program.
Not long ago, Mango Terrace sent someone to buy the copyright of MBC's real man, and it is said that it offered a very high price. In addition, iQIYI will also come to buy the network broadcast rights of MBC programs in the near future, including the MLT program.
However, Liu Haizhen, the investor, and Jin Yurui, the planner, did not get any benefits. Jin Yurui can still get some money from selling the copyright, but the sale of the broadcast right has nothing to do with the two of them, although this show is supported by the two of them.
