Chapter 88: Acting Awards (3)
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Hyuk-jae came to the door of Cui Zhizhi's office in the Variety Show Bureau, and was about to push the door in, but the front desk girl who had been familiar with him shook her head at him vigorously, "Zheng PD, Director Choi is angry inside, you better wait a while and then go in." ”
"Angry? What's wrong? Hearing the words of the girl at the front desk, Jung Hyuk-jae couldn't help but be a little strange, he hadn't come to the TV station for a day, what happened?
"I heard that it was training people, but everyone didn't dare to lean over and eavesdrop, just now the person in charge of the Friday variety show downstairs came up, and he didn't come out after half an hour of going in." The girl at the front desk whispered in Jung Hyuk-jae's ear.
"So that's it?"
Although I haven't seen Choi Zhizhi's appearance when he is angry, Jung Hyuk-jae is not curious about this at all, anyway, no one comes out and waits outside, and by the way, chatting with the soft girl at the front desk is also a good choice.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, hearing the sound of pushing the door of Choi Zhizhi's office, Jung Hyuk-jae stood up and looked at his colleagues who came out of the office, and passed by him with a gloomy face, just about to raise his hand to say hello, but people didn't even have the interest to look at him, and Jung Hyuk-jae thought that it must not be a good thing.
"Then I'm in!"
Waving his hand at the girl at the front desk, Jung Hyuk-jae gently pushed open the door of Cui Zhizhi's office, and before he could speak, he heard Cui Zhizhi yelling at him: "Didn't you say don't come in and disturb me?" Why is it that all of them are 'left ear in, right ear out'? ”
"Nuna, it's me."
Hearing the familiar voice, Cui Zhizhi calmed down the anger in his heart, straightened his collar and expression, turned the swivel chair and looked at Zheng Hyukzai, "Came over so early?" Didn't you say shopping in Dongdaemun? Haven't asked who you're with yet? Is it a girlfriend? ”
Zheng Hyukzai's forehead had a black line, and he was a little too lazy to pay attention to her in front of him, so he helplessly explained: "Nuna, didn't you say that you wanted me to come over early in the afternoon?" And I went shopping in the afternoon not with my girlfriend, but with my sister and her classmates. ”
"And is your sister's classmate pretty?" Looking at it like this, Cui Zhizhi doesn't seem to gossip in the end, and just now I saw her reprimand a few subordinates, and it's rare that she still has such a mood.
"Nuna, didn't you call me over today to say that you have something to say? Could it be that the two of us are just sitting here and gossiping? ”
"Yes, that's right." Choi Zhizhi took one out of the folder on the table and handed it to Jung Hyuk-jae, "This is the overall ratings of "Weekend Reversal Drama", you take a look, let's talk about the renewal of the script in a while." ”
When it comes to work, Cui Zhizhi is much more upright and puts on a business-like appearance.
After taking over the folder, Jung Hyuk-jae glanced at the ratings and was a little more sure about the next negotiations on the renewal of the script.
"Weekend Reversal Drama" has attracted the attention of many viewers since the day it was launched, and the ratings have always been the first in the same time period, although with the broadcast of the series, the audience will inevitably have aesthetic fatigue, but the ratings can still be called among the best, even some TV series may not be as good as this rating.
I filmed almost 80 episodes of content before, it stands to reason that sBs will not be in such a hurry to find myself to renew the next script, and the ratings that have fluctuated up and down by an average of 15% so far can be seen that "Weekend Reversal Drama" can be popular for a while in the future, and it is no wonder that sBs will be in a hurry.
In fact, it was okay for sBs TV station not to ask Jung Hyuk-jae to renew the script, because the novelty of "Weekend Reversal Drama" is novelty in creativity, and the reversed plot and unguessable ending are what the audience is talking about.
In fact, as early as when the previous script was signed, Jung Hyuk-jae brushed a cautious eye, "If you need to renew the next script, you must sign it with Party B, and anyone and unit has to use "Weekend Reversal Drama" to create'. The most critical place is here, which means that if sBs wants to continue filming "Weekend Reversal Drama", then the script must be renewed by Jung Hyuk-jae.
If you want to find a novice screenwriter in your station to continue creating, I'm sorry, no!
At that time, because when he signed the contract, Jung Hyuk Jae could only be regarded as a newcomer among screenwriters and writers, after sBs suppressed enough in terms of price, he did not carefully check the terms of the contract, and he had little confidence in his "Weekend Reversal Drama", being able to sign twenty episodes was enough to give him face, as long as he made time to make a variety show, he could let it roll aside, who would have thought that it was this unintentional move that caused a popular short drama.
It is precisely because of this clause attached to the contract that sBs TV had to bleed heavily this time.
"How's the script going?" Cui Zhizhi saw that he had finished watching it, and asked out loud: "You can also see that the reputation of "Weekend Reversal Drama" among the audience is also good, although the ratings have recently dropped from 20% on the day of the premiere to an average of about 15% per issue, but it still has potential, and it is also the best in the same schedule." ”
Hearing Choi Zhizhi say this, Jung Hyuk-jae naturally nodded in agreement, and the ratings of about 15% are enough to explode many prime-time TV series.
In the previous life, the appearance of "Weekend Reversal Drama" was also immediately followed by "X-man", the difference is that at that time, there was only one episode of "Weekend Reversal Drama" per week, because it was used to supplement time after "X-man" at that time. But this life is different, "Weekend Reversal Drama" needs to broadcast two episodes a week, after all, it takes over the length of a variety show, so naturally it can't be like that anymore, one episode per week for twenty minutes.
Because of this, more than 80 episodes were originally enough to be broadcast until April of the following year, until the ratings of "Weekend Reversal Drama" were sluggish and cut by sBs, which will only be broadcast by the middle of next year.
Jung Hyuk-jae is not a person without goals, as early as the beginning of the script, he had already considered this problem, although he didn't think far enough away like now, but he also took this situation into account.
So he followed the script structure and writing techniques of "Weekend Reversal Drama" early on, combined with the news he saw in life and the anecdotes he heard, and created a script with 60 episodes, which may not be much, but absolutely all of his own original content.
"No problem with the script, sixty episodes."
"Okay, here's the printed contract, you can take a look." Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae's affirmative reply, Choi Zhizhi put the contract that had already been printed in front of him.
Each episode script is 4 million, if the ratings of one of the episodes break 25%, then an additional 200,000 bonuses, seeing this Zheng Hyuk-jae smiled, it is very likely that he will not be able to get this one. Judging from the current ratings, we can clearly see a downward trend, although the ratings of several episodes have rebounded, but more of them are still showing a downward trend, not because the quality of "Weekend Reversal Drama" has declined, but because the audience's appetite has been raised.
Therefore, what Jung Hyuk-jae values more is the price of each episode of the script, which has doubled to 4 million won compared to the lowest salary among the 2 million writers he got before, and if 4 million is multiplied by 60 episodes, then it is 240 million won.
Thinking of this, Jung Hyuk-jae's face faintly showed a little smile.
"How's it going, are you still satisfied with the contract?" Choi Zhizhi looked at the expression on Jung Hyuk-jae's face and asked.
"Nuna, why is there no such thing as a condition?" What he said was naturally the clause he added that he did not allow others to use "Weekend Reversal Drama" to create the clause, Jung Hyuk-jae pointed to the blank space in the contract and asked pretending to be puzzled.
"Yikes! Last time, I suffered this loss of your kid, and I was scolded by the leader, do you think I will be fooled this time? Cui Zhizhi glanced at him, "I didn't expect you to be young, but you have a lot of ghost ideas." ”
Towards the end of the year, major TV stations are preparing for their acting awards, and the same is true for sBs TV. As the sBs that won popular TV dramas such as "Bali Story" and "Paris Lovers" this year, this year's acting awards have already received a lot of media attention before they even started, because everyone wants to know who will win the award on sBs TV.
Looking at this year's TV series, among the three major TV stations, sBs can be said to be the leader, with the highest rating of "Bali Story", which premiered in January this year, reaching 40.4%, and the average rating of the whole episode is also 27%, which can be said to be a good start for sBs.
The "Paris Lovers" broadcast in June pushed sBs to the king of the three major TV dramas this year, and the show became the TV series that broke through the 40% and 50% ratings mark in the shortest time in the past 5 years, and the finale of the twentieth episode got 56.3% of the ratings, becoming the champion of this year's single-episode ratings.
Since the end of the broadcast of "Paris Lovers", sBs seems to have fallen into a bottleneck, and many TV series launched during this period can only be said to have a mediocre response. However, "I'm Sorry, I Love You", which aired in November, became a tear jerker for sBs at the end of the year, with the highest rating reaching 35% and the average rating of 25%.
So far, sBs TV has completely settled on the position of the king of TV dramas in 2004.
"Director Liu, Minister Jin is here."
In the director's office, a staff member whispered beside him, and Director Liu, who was lying on the table to approve the documents, raised his head and looked at Jin Youzhi who was standing in front of him, and was silent for a while before asking.
"Minister Kim, has the list of this year's acting awards been confirmed?"
Today on the 29th, the day after tomorrow is the 31st, and the acting awards of major TV stations will be held. Speaking of the relationship between the three major TV stations competing with each other, even the ratings of the acting awards have to be divided into high and low.
"It's confirmed." Jin Youzhi said and took a few steps forward, and handed the folder in his hand to Director Liu.
Taking the folder handed by Jin Youzhi, he glanced at it roughly, picked up the pen and sketched on it a few times, and then handed it over again.
"Director Liu, this is not very good, the list has been determined" Looking at Director Liu's annotation, Jin Youzhi looked embarrassed and said quite confused.
"Just do as I wrote!"
"Yes."
