Chapter 292: The Half-Dead 'Challenge'
Generally speaking, the TV station is roughly composed of three parts, "News Department", "Variety Department" and "TV Drama Production Department", these three can be said to be the three important departments composed of TV stations, and it is really not particularly easy to rank them, after all, the focus and income points of these departments are different.
The main hall of MBC TV, where most of Jung Hyuk-jae spent most of his time in his previous life, and most of the recording studios of MBC TV's variety shows are here, and only a small part is recorded in the annex.
Walking into the main hall of MBC TV, no matter what troubles have been experienced here, I can't help but feel a little emotional when I walk here, after all, people are emotional animals, and after a long time, there will naturally be a sense of nostalgia in my heart.
The office area of MBC's variety show department occupies two floors, the sixth and seventh floors, which are the birthplace of all MBC TV's current variety shows, including the "Unreasonable Challenge" column group.
The predecessor of "Unreasonable Challenge" is MBC TV's "Unreasonable Challenge", the name of the program has changed, and the only thing that has not changed may be the dismal ratings of this program.
As a variety show, especially the variety show broadcast on Saturday, "Unplanned Challenge" once set a rating record of hovering at 3%~4% for more than 20 consecutive episodes, which can be said to have made the person in charge of the variety show department at that time worry about gray hair, and the highest rating is only 5%.
Take a look at "X-man", "Love Letter" and so on in the same period, which of these variety shows has an audience rating of 15% or higher, and no matter how bad the variety show ratings are, the ratings are also 10%, which is more than double the rating of "Unplanned Challenge".
At that time, the person in charge of MBC TV saw the dismal ratings of his column group, and realized that the change must be carried out immediately, and then "Unconspiracy Challenge" was changed to "Unreasonable Challenge", and the person in charge of the program team changed even more, hoping to start a new "challenge" from scratch.
However, the big mallet of reality hit the head of the variety show department of MBC TV directly. Although the ratings are better than before the revision, the ratings are still miserable, and the highest ratings have not broken 8%, I thought that the revision could bring new vitality to the program, but I didn't expect the highest ratings to not even break the threshold of 10%.
There is a lot of pressure on the "Unreasonable Challenge" column group, and the pressure on the head of the variety show department is also not small.
You must not underestimate a variety show, if the cost of recording an episode is sometimes not less than filming an episode of a TV series, such as SBS TV's ace variety show "X-man", as early as half a year ago, the recording cost of an episode has almost gone hand in hand with the filming cost of an episode of a TV series, and it also dominates Saturday. has the 'gossip maker' variety show "Love Letter", and the cost of recording an episode is also expensive.
Although the production cost of "Unreasonable Challenge" is not as much as that of "X-man" or "Love Letter", this is a variety show that can't even break 10% of the ratings, even if the recording cost is small, if the ratings can't go up, it will be a loss for MBC TV.
Take a look at the revenue of "Unreasonable Challenge" in advertising, it is called a miserable one, if it weren't for the fact that some manufacturers saw that this show was the prime time of Saturday variety shows, it is estimated that these two or three sponsors would not have it. It can also be seen from this that the "Unreasonable Challenge" that appears in it has indeed encountered a bottleneck.
Although I haven't been to the column group of "Unreasonable Challenge" before, I have the impression that whether it is "Unreasonable Challenge", "Unreasonable Challenge", or "Infinite Challenge". The office area of the column group has not changed from the beginning, so Jung Hyuk-jae can find it without the need for staff to guide him
The office area of the "Unreasonable Challenge" column group is under the guidance of the staff of the column group. Jung Hyuk-jae learned that the main person in charge of the original column group was in the conference room at this time, and after thanking the staff, Jung Hyuk-jae came to the door of the conference room. Just standing in the doorway, I already heard the quarrel coming from the door.
"No, no, no! That's not good at all, we've done the special you said before, the ratings can't be raised at all, and the production cost of the special is too big, you say books, just with the current ratings of our column group, is it possible for the TV station to allocate more funds to us? ”
In the conference room, a male shook his head violently to express his opinion while talking about his work grievances.
"Pluto, it's not right for you to say that, it's been before, it's been more than half a year since the last special was broadcast, maybe the audience wasn't particularly interested in such a special at that time, but after so much time, have you ever thought that it is possible that the audience's appreciation taste has changed?" The man who was known as the Shadow PD stood up and retorted desperately.
Originally, a simple meeting made the two of them into a debate competition, and each one was more unconvinced.
"Alright, alright, everyone don't quarrel!" Seeing that the two people in front of them have a tendency to go berserk every minute, the colleagues on the side hurriedly reassured, after all, it is just an internal meeting of the column group, just explain their views to each other, there is no need to be so blushing and thick-necked, after all, they are all colleagues, and everyone is also a cooperative relationship.
persuaded the two of them, and the person spoke again: "Let's talk about our views on the show at the meeting."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a knock at the door, and everyone at the conference table looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn't know who the person outside the door was.
"Please come in!" Someone said.
Hearing a 'please come in' from the conference room, Jung Hyuk-jae pushed the door and walked in, and saw several people in the conference room smiling and greeting.
"You are?" Seeing Jung Hyuk-jae, some people feel familiar, but they can't remember the name at this point.
"Hello everyone, my name is Jung Hyuk-jae!"
"Ah, it turns out that he is Jung Hyuk-jae." Someone saw Zheng Hyukjae in front of him, and a trace of disdain flashed in his heart, it looks no different from himself, everyone has a nose and a pair of glasses, how can there be such a big difference?
"Hejae, you're here!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Jung Hyuk-jae glanced past the others, and at a glance saw Yoo Jae-seok, who was sitting at the table, waving his hands at him.
"Brother, why are you here?" Seeing Yoo Jae-seok, Jung Hyuk-jae couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
"I'm here as the host to participate in the discussion of the program group!" Liu Zaishi said truthfully.
Hearing Liu Zai-seok say this, Zheng Hyuk-jae also reacted, whether it is "Unconstrained Challenge" or "Unreasonable Challenge", as the main MC of the column, in addition to the staff of the column group, Liu Zaishi can be said to be the person in the column group who has the deepest understanding of the program he hosts.
"Oh, you're Jung Hyuk Jae who Minister Xu introduced him to come over, right?" As he spoke, a man who looked to be middle-aged smiled and stretched out his right hand to Jung Hyuk-jae's side, where he was about to shake his hand.
"Hello, I'm Jung Hyuk-jae!"
Although I don't know who this person is in front of me, among these people, Zheng Hyukzai also found that among the people seated, there are also people he is familiar with, such as the man surnamed Kim sitting in the audience, haunted in terms of appearance alone is definitely the bottom one among the people seated, and even Liu Zaishi can't compare!
"I'm the PD in charge of "Unreasonable Challenge", and my surname is Gao!" The middle-aged man in front of him introduced himself.
"Hello High PD!"
For the high PD in front of him, Jung Hyuk-jae really doesn't know, after all, in his previous life, Jung Hyuk-jae entered MBC TV late, at first he wanted to be a director, and after hitting a wall in a row, he submitted his resume to the three major TV stations respectively, which can be regarded as going around and around to enter the TV industry.
"This is the Pluto!" After introducing himself, the responsible high PD also introduced others to Jung Hyuk-jae.
"This is a full PD!"
"This is Nam PD" was introduced by a series of names, and Jung Hyuk Jae felt that his head hurt a little, and he really couldn't remember it for a while.
"This is Kim PD!" After listening to Gao PD's introduction, a hint of an intriguing smile suddenly appeared on Jung Hyuk-jae's face.
"Hello, Kim PD!"
Looking at Jung Hyuk-jae in front of him, Kim Tae-ho suddenly felt a little hairy in his heart, especially when Jung Hyuk-jae's eyes fell on him, which gave people the feeling that he was not wearing clothes, which made him feel particularly unhappy.
"Hello, Zheng PD!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Jung Hyuk-jae pushed away a chair, and then sat down next to Yoo Jae-seok, and the two chatted quietly.
"There may be some people here who don't know much about Jung Hyuk Jae, so I'll introduce him!" As the first organizer of this meeting, the surname Gao PD naturally helped to introduce the identity of the town's Chinese characters.
"The first revision of SBS TV's current popular variety show "X-man" was written by this Zheng PD, and after that, there is another variety show on SBS TV, "Love Letter", which is also from the hand of the person in front of you!"
"Wow!"
"Really?" (To be continued.) )
