Chapter 21: A chance to climb up

Because of the voice during the live broadcast, the entire program team was impressed by Park Jung-hyuk.

So at the dinner party in the evening, everyone toasted him.

This is the first time Park Jung-hyuk has been recognized at work, and while he is happy, he does not control the amount of alcohol.

When I got home, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, the sun was shining on my buttocks.

But he wasn't in a hurry, he got up slowly and methodically, washing and fiddling.

When it was time to get to MBC, it was just in time for lunch.

According to the situation of "Music Center", the second day of recording is generally an unwritten break. So it doesn't matter if he comes late.

But when he arrived at the office after lunch, he was shocked.

The PDs and writers of the entire program group all came, and many people were not absent even if they sat there and dozed off.

Park Jung-hyuk didn't know why, so he came to Liang Yuzhe's side and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" Why are they all here? ”

Liang Yuzhe rubbed his sleepy eyes, and his mouth floated out three miles with bad breath, so that Park Jung-hyuk fainted. "It's not the bureau to announce the meeting, and all the staff must be there. If someone hadn't seen you in the cafeteria, they'd have called you. ”

Plenary session?

Park Jung-hyuk didn't know what was going on, and asked again, "What the hell is going on?" So grand. ”

Liang Yuzhe's sleepy nose is not a nose, his eyes are not eyes, and he has no interest in answering at all. "Okay, okay, I'll know when the meeting comes. I'll sleep for a while, and remember to call me when I have a meeting. ”

Park Jung-hyuk saw that everyone was dozing off, and he didn't dare to make a sound, so he sat honestly in his position and simply found a book on the program system and read it.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting was announced.

Park Jung-hyuk hurriedly woke up the people in the program team one by one and reported the incident.

Originally, he was not going to wake up Bi Jinhao, he was going to let this guy oversleep, and then make a fool of himself in front of the overall situation.

However, when everyone got up one after another, the noisy sound woke him up, and Park Jung-hyuk's careful eye did not work.

When the people from the "Music Center" program team rushed to the conference room, good guys, I saw that the huge room was full of people.

Anything I've seen before, I've never seen before, all of them are crowded here.

At this moment, he couldn't recognize who was who, so Park Jung-hyuk had to sit together with the people in the program team.

When everyone arrived, I saw Jin Jiushan and a few other CPs walking in with a middle-aged man with eyes.

This person, Park Jung-hyuk, met when he joined the company, and it was Min Wan-sik, the director of the Arts and Performing Arts Bureau.

The scene was silent for a while, and everyone waited quietly for the content of the meeting.

Min Wanzhian sat on the main seat and did not speak.

Instead, Jin Jiushan presided over the meeting and took the lead in saying: "I inform you of a matter that is related to all of you here. ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what kind of major event actually involved all the people in the Arts Bureau.

Regardless of the current movement, Jin Jiushan continued: "After unanimous deliberation at the top management of MBC, it was decided to revive the glory of our MBC Sunday variety show. Everyone also knows that "Xman" on the side of the S headquarters has always been the overlord of the Sunday file. But they had sat for too long, and it was time to step away from the throne and make way for the virtuous. We at MBC are pioneers of Korean pop culture, and we must take this responsibility up to the task. ”

It quickly became boiling at the bottom, and everyone was hotly discussed.

MBC's Sunday program, since 2002, has been insulated from the position of the hegemon.

On the other hand, SBS released "Xman" in 2003 and is still the most popular show in South Korea.

Among the three major Korean TV stations, MBC has always ranked first in terms of ambition to produce zuò programs.

Seeing that SBS's Sunday stall is so ferocious, from top to bottom, everyone's hearts are naturally uncomfortable.

It's not that MBC hasn't done Sunday shows before, but without exception, none of them are opponents of "Xman".

It seems that after two years, MBC's top management finally can't bear it anymore and wants to use their best to overturn the dominance of "Xman".

Jin Jiushan continued to explain. "So this time, we decided to give full play to the wisdom of all of our staff, come up with good creative planning, and strive to be an instant hit and launch our MBC signboard."

It was only at this time that Min Wanzhi spoke for the first time, which can be regarded as a guarantee. "Here I will say a word, the bureau unanimously decided. In this spring revision, everyone in our Arts Bureau, regardless of size, whether it is PD, FD, or writer, can submit a plan. As long as the creativity is enough and is adopted by the bureau, it will be greatly praised. PD gets the right to be in charge of Sunday files, FD is promoted directly to PD, and writers are also promoted to PD. Therefore, everyone should work hard, use your brains, and contribute to our MBC variety show. ”

The audience is no longer just boiling, and the lively Cheng dù is comparable to a typhoon.

This time, everyone felt the determination and strength of MBC.

In the field of variety shows, Sunday is undoubtedly the most important period.

Because in urban life, ordinary people go to work from Monday to Friday. And Saturday finally rested, it must have been out to fool around.

It's only on Sundays, thinking that the next day is going to work, so I honestly stay at home and watch TV or something.

Therefore, the Sunday program is the time with the most viewers, and the ratings are much higher than other time slots.

Therefore, in the broadcasting agency, the PDs who can direct the Sunday file are the backbone of the Arts Bureau, and there must be CP behind them.

But as long as you make zuò, there is no one who doesn't want to direct the Sunday file.

This time, MBC's determination can be said to be a good opportunity for everyone to climb up.

This is especially true for newcomers like Park Jung-hyuk.

If there is no such opportunity, according to the normal law, it will take at least three years for them to be promoted to the most junior PD.

Then you have to study for another two to three years behind the PD in charge, and then you may have the opportunity to become a maker.

is like Lee Hwan-jin PD of "runningman", he was one of them when the show first started in 2010.

But at that time, he was just FD, and he was doing all kinds of miscellaneous things.

Later, when Cho Hyo-jin PD and Pd left and Lim Kwon Taek PD became the main PD, he was promoted to one of the PDs who led the show.

At that time, it was already 2014.

It wasn't until 2016 that Lin Quanze's PD also left, and he got the opportunity to become the main PD.

Back and forth, six years, a young man's youth has passed.

Now that MBC has given everyone a chance to rise rapidly in order to regain the king status of the Sunday file, Park Jung-hyuk's heart is of course excited.

Back in the office, everyone quickly took their seats. The effects of the hangover have long been thrown into the country of Java as if it had never happened.

The same is true of Park Jung-hyuk and Bi Jin-ho, all of whom obediently stay in their positions and think about it for a long time.

However, unlike others, Park Jung-hyuk is not thinking about how creative, but what kind of program he should come up with.

He has an aura of rebirth, and he has watched too many classic Korean variety shows in his previous life.

Which one can be suitable is what he needs to consider.

If you want to say the best variety show in Korea, needless to say, it is, of course, "Infinite Challenge".

However, Park Jung-hyuk thought about it and did not choose it in the end.

The reason is very simple, the concept of "Infinite Challenge" is too advanced, and the MBC Arts Bureau may not be able to accept it at this time.

Again, such a good show can make any maker climb to the top of the pyramid.

He is an FD, even if his idea is adopted by the Arts and Energy Bureau this time, at most, he will be promoted to the lowest PD, and he will have to follow others.

With such a good idea as "Infinite Challenge", but not in exchange for the opportunity to direct independently, it is too much to gain and lose.

He is not ready to take out some classic variety shows in the future.

Because his career has only just begun, and the future is still a long way off.

Now that I have taken it out, what will I do in the future?

At this time in 2005, Park Jung-hyuk couldn't help but think about the appropriate program that could make the Arts and Energy Bureau's eyes shine.

"Reality TV shows can't be chosen." Park Jung-hyuk wrote and drew in his notebook, and first excluded the reality show.

Now that portable cameras have not yet come out, it is unrealistic to do a reality show, and you have to be tired of VJ.

Then the remaining options are indoor programs and outdoor programs with a small amount of activity.

There is a difference here, they are not outdoor variety shows, they are all reality shows.

For example, "Idol Star Games" and "Departure Dream Team" were also recorded outdoors, but they didn't match the reality show at all.

Park Jung-hyuk thought about it for a long time, and until it was time for dinner, it was all about this in his mind.

When he finished eating and was about to leave the cafeteria, he happened to see some artists who were not MBC employees paying for food.

This scene made his eyes light up, and he suddenly remembered a very interesting show.

Park Jung-hyuk, who had an idea, rushed back to the office as if his butt was smoking, took out his notebook, and wrote it with gusto.

Although he is still a newcomer PD, he has been busy with the program team these days, and what he has learned has shown benefits.

At the very least, if you make a plan for a show, you can write it in a decent way, which is unsatisfactory.

If you are a person who doesn't understand the program system at all, no matter how good the creativity in your head is, what you write is completely contrary to the common sense of the program, and it is impossible for it to be adopted by the Arts Bureau.

Park Jung-hyuk was so excited that he wrote hard, not paying any attention to the time.

He didn't stop until the lights were shining and the night was falling.

For the Zuò people, staying up late is a common thing.

And for the sake of the opportunity to climb up, this hard work is nothing.
