Jin Jiushan glanced at Min Wanzhi cautiously, then shook his head and sighed: "It's hard to find good ideas these days, so there is no plan in the bureau." ”

"So it's empty on such a good time slot?" Kwon Seok got up, straightened his waist, and shouted with some excitement.

Who doesn't know that Saturday and Sunday are prime time for viewing?

The huge MBC had a Saturday afternoon vacated in unimaginable.

Min Wan-sik raised his hand and pressed down, motioned for Kwon Seok to sit down, and then explained: "We can't help it, we have consulted many people before, but no one can come up with a qualified idea." Now that the "Love Letter" on the side of the S headquarters has no signs of decline at all, who dares to guarantee that it will be able to surpass others? ”

Kwon Seok was obviously unwilling to fail, he hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded eagerly: "Director, since there is no good idea, why don't we continue to do it." We promise to come up with better content to save the situation. ”

Listening to his words, not only Min Wanzhi and Kim Jiushan, but even everyone else was in disbelief.

If you Kwon Seok PD can come back to life, do you have to wait until today?

Isn't it long for you?

That's six months.

As a result, you have come up with such a report card, who can still believe that you do this show well?

However, Kwon Seok is a veteran employee of MBC, and Kim Jiushan can't point out his mistakes.

Instead, he shook his head and rejected him from another angle. "We made a reckoning about Infinite Challenge. If this program is stopped, we will be able to save 30 million in production fees. And if it continues to be broadcast, we MBC will lose 170 million yuan for each episode broadcast. This number is too large for even the president to dare to do. ”

"Infinite Challenge" is about fifty minutes long, which is almost an hour if you count the advertising time.

From the production of a program to the broadcast, there are links that need to spend money everywhere.

Not to mention anything else, just the appearance fees of so many MCs and guests are a lot of money.

Not to mention that it also occupies MBC's Saturday prime time, because it is not popular, and a huge amount of advertising resources is wasted.

Originally, advertising during this time period was the main battlefield for MBC to generate revenue, but it could not be sold at a high price due to the downturn of "Infinite Challenge".

As soon as this one goes in and one out, MBC's losses are huge.

Kwon Seok was completely wilted and couldn't say a word. He simply held a wine glass and drank the sullen wine one after another.

He just saw that MBC had no follow-up program plans, so he was unwilling to fail and wanted to fight for it again.

But as Jin Jiushan said, he doesn't have a good program plan at all.

If you just bury your head and work hard, you can't bring the show back to life.

Although MBC pays attention to tapping the talents of employees, it cannot be separated from economic benefits.

There are so many financial holes, and he can't afford to take this responsibility.

Knowing that hope was completely cut off, how could he not feel resentful? But I can't say anything, I can only use wine to kill my sorrows.

Although Kwon Seok looked pitiful, no one persuaded him.

It's all TV people, who doesn't have a frustrated time? It's all like this, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Seeing that Kwon Seok stopped talking, Min Wan-sik raised his glass again and said, "I won't say anything superfluous, in short, on behalf of MBC, thank you for your hard work." There is nothing if a show fails, there are many failed programs in the history of MBC. As long as everyone still has confidence, they will get up again in a new place. Here today, not the end, but a new beginning. ”

Jin Jiushan echoed and raised his glass, and then said: "There are still a few episodes of the program, I hope everyone can stand the last post well, and still devote themselves to the production with the greatest enthusiasm." ”

Speaking of which, it basically represents the end of "Infinite Challenge".

A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, and they all hesitantly slowly raised their wine glasses.

But among this group of people, only Kim Tae-ho and Park Jung-hyuk did not move.

All eyes were on these two people, not understanding their thoughts.

Min Wan-sik and Kim Jiu-san's wine glasses had been held for a while, and seeing that the two of them were unmoved, their faces couldn't help but look a little difficult.

Park Jung-hyuk doesn't care about other people's opinions, his eyes are always on Kim Tae-ho.

He knew that "Infinite Challenge" had reached a life-or-death point.

If Kim Tae-ho doesn't stand up at this time, then the original historical national variety show will disappear into the long river of history.

"My good big brother, my golden belly, don't let me down!" With such thoughts, Park Jung-hyuk stubbornly did not raise his glass.

Where everyone's eyes converged, Kim Tae-ho slowly raised his head.

Beneath the thick spectacle lenses, the small eyes have a firm and divine light.

His tone was always so unchanging, gentle, soft, without a hint of pyrotechnics.

But when he said it, it was like a thunderbolt thrown into the calm lake, causing violent ripples. "Perhaps, I can try."

Park Jung-hyuk finally smiled.

At the same time, his heart was also relieved.

Sure enough, it was Kim Tae-ho, and it didn't disappoint him.

It's time to come or come, it turns out to be such a scene.

In his previous life, he knew that it was Kim Tae-ho who expressed his desire to try it when he was in crisis in the first season of "Infinite Challenge".

But specifically, he is an ordinary foreign audience, but it is not clear.

It turned out to be here, at the most critical juncture of the show, like a hero from heaven.

Jin Jiushan was stunned for a long time, and asked a little confused: "You...... What did you say? ”

Now that he has spoken, Kim Tae-ho swept away his low profile.

He looked at Min Wan-sik and Kim Jiu-san, and said word by word, clearly: "I have some new ideas about the show "Infinite Challenge", which may be able to reverse the show. ”

Min Wan-sik and Kim Jiu-san slowly put down their wine glasses and glanced at each other, both of them looking hesitant.

After all, Kim Tae-ho only gave verbal promises, and he hasn't seen the actual results yet, so it's really hard for them to agree.

Kim Tae-ho also knows that it is impossible to convince the other party based on this alone.

He took out the thick plan from his bag and handed it over. "All my thoughts, all on this. You can give me two to three months to adjust, and maybe you can bring a trump card show to the club. ”

One of the things that is very good about the people at MBC is that they all have the qualities of a workaholic.

Even if it's at the wine table, as long as it's related to work, I'll immediately get into it.

Min Wan-sik and Kim Jiu-san got together and took Kim Tae-ho's plan and looked at it in detail.

By the time they had all finished reading, it was already an hour later.

But both of them frowned, a little confused.

Obviously, they haven't fully figured out the context of Kim Tae-ho's plan.

But with many years of experience in producing zuò programs, they have a little feeling that if they make zuò programs like this, it seems to be really interesting.

In order to increase the persuasiveness, Kim Tae-ho continued: "Anyway, there is no new program planning in the club now, so it is better to let me try." If after two or three months, the show doesn't improve, and the club has a new plan, I can make Hyun. ”

"But the company can't give that much budget." Min Wanzhi added.

The downturn of "Infinite Challenge" has scared the Arts Bureau.

In order to reduce losses and prevent high-level accountability, it is inevitable to reduce the budget.

Kim Tae-ho nodded, still very confident. "I don't care, according to my assumptions, the new program team won't need so many people. Three to four PDs, three writers, basically enough. As for the outsourced VJ group, sound effect group, and field service group, the cost is not much. However, the appearance fee of the invited MC and guest will need to be calculated separately. ”

Min Wan-sik and Jin Jiushan lowered their heads and discussed, feeling that his request was not excessive.

Korean artists appear in variety shows, and the cost is clearly marked.

And variety shows, there are few guests who are not invited.

It is indeed too harsh to include the guest's performance fee in the already limited budget.

After Kim Tae-ho's planning, the new program crew was reduced by more than half at once, and MBC saved about 40 million investment.

No matter how you look at it, it's a decent deal.

Even if Kim Tae-ho doesn't do a good job, MBC won't have anything to lose.

On the contrary, as he said, if it is done well, MBC is equivalent to reaping a good program out of thin air.

Both the director and the CP were interested, but they invariably looked at Kwon Seok.

Regardless, he's still the PD of responsibility for Infinite Challenge. Whether Kim Tae-ho can take over or not, his opinion is also very important.

Kwon Seok looked at Kim Tae-ho with complicated eyes, and finally sighed and nodded.

After all, he is not a ruthless and vicious person, and has always believed in the concept of hello, me, and everyone.

Since the establishment of the "Infinite Challenge" program team, Kim Tae-ho has been at odds with his philosophy.

For this reason, the two have faced each other several times.

But each time, it was suppressed by him using the authority of the responsible PD.

At that time, he was very rigid and self-serving, and he felt that his plan was good.

As a result, after such a long time, the ratings of "Infinite Challenge" are not as good as one episode, and Kwon Seok also knows that his idea may be wrong.

After all, "Infinite Challenge" is a child born from his hands, and if he dies young, he will be the most uncomfortable person.

At this time, Kim Tae-ho was able to stand up bravely and say that he would inherit this task, and his courage alone was admirable.

Kwon Seok was both unwilling and grateful, and after the battle between heaven and man, he still agreed to Kim Tae-ho's initiative.

Anyway, he has been proven to be a failure, so let's see if Kim Tae-ho, who is diametrically opposed to his own opinion, can really create a miracle.

Seeing that the original PD had no opinions, Min Wanzhi made a decision on the spot. "Alright then, I'll let you try. The bureau will give you three months, and if it hasn't improved by then, I hope you can understand. ”

The director has already given in to this kind of Cheng Dù, and Kim Tae-ho is of course grateful to Dade. "Thank you, Director, I'll give you back an ideal transcript."

Jin Jiushan followed: "You are responsible for the preparation of the program group, who stays and who leaves, just report it in three days." ”

At this point, Kim Tae-ho finally stood up.

Just like in his previous life, he took over the baton of "Infinite Challenge".

At this time, no one thought about what it meant.

But I believe that those who are present many years later recall that it is definitely worth talking about.
