Chapter 242: A Comic

"Has the theme of the new Shuimu drama been decided?"

In the office of the MBC TV Drama Production Bureau, Kim Jae-yeol looked at the many subordinates sitting at the head of the house and asked in a deep voice, his expression was very serious, at least to outsiders, and the subordinates also pursed their lips without smiling.

Hearing the words of his boss, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one said anything.

Seeing this, Jin Jaeyeol's heart also understood, the irritability in his heart did not disappear, and his face became more and more gloomy, seeing that he was about to get angry, one of the subordinates under him replied weakly.

"The director, I have recently shown you all the scripts from the screenwriters in the station, according to the requirements you said, these scripts are not qualified, and the well-known screenwriters in the circle who have cooperated with our TV station have also asked, most of them have contracts from other TV stations, and they don't have time to write new dramas."

The subordinate said carefully, his eyes kept looking at the expression on Kim Jae-yeol's face, and seeing that his expression had subsided a little and became less gloomy, the subordinate's hanging heart finally let go.

Looking at the subordinates in front of him, Kim Jae-yeol couldn't let it out even if he was angry in his heart, after all, the result of the matter couldn't blame them, and it was not good to do TV dramas, if he didn't receive a good script, even if he had a ready-made platform, he wouldn't be able to start working, which was what made Kim Jae-yeol the most depressed.

Although the price of the screenwriting industry is inflated now, it is necessary to have a good script, the screenwriting industry, like all industries, is a pyramid structure, there are screenwriters with tens of millions of won per episode, and those newcomer screenwriters spend less than a million or more per episode, not to mention that the scripts they ghostwrite don't even have the right of authorship in the end.

The contracts of well-known screenwriters in the circle are not all numbered. It's not like you can get it if you want a script.

"Let's put the problem of the script first, and if we should continue to collect the script, we still have to accept it, and we still have to check the quality."

Hearing what Kim Jae-yeol said, the subordinates under the head all opened their notebooks and recorded them on it.

In addition, everyone's attention should not be limited to these screenwriters in the circle, but also look at other industries. For example, everyone watched the "Harvard Love Story" on KBS TV last year, right? ”

Kim Jae-yeol asked, staring at the expressions of his subordinates, only to see that everyone nodded after hearing his words, and it seemed that everyone was very impressed by this board of supervisors.

"I've watched it, and I think the TV series is pretty good."

"Well, I still like the heroine Kim Tae-hee in it."

"I feel that her makeup in it is quite beautiful, but I don't like the male protagonist too much, and I feel that it is a little incompatible with Kim Tae-hee."

Because of one of their own topics, subordinates began to express their opinions on watching. The originally quiet conference room suddenly turned into a vegetable market at this time, which made Kim Jae-yeol's face darken, which was not what he intended.

"Ahem, let's be quiet!" Kim Jae-yeol coughed a few times before speaking.

Hearing his words, everyone gradually quieted down, and their eyes were fixed on Kim Jae-yeol, as if they wanted to know what he wanted to say next.

KBS's drama "Harvard Love Story" is based on last year's best-selling novel "Love at Harvard." Don't look at it as an adaptation from a novel, everyone knows the ending clearly. But the ratings are very good. ”

As the director of the TV drama production bureau of the TV station, Kim Jae-yeol naturally remembers last year's TV series vividly, especially the scene where "Harvard Love Story" and "I'm Sorry, I Love You" fought each other, and he remembers it very clearly.

Although the ratings of "Harvard Love Story" are not as good as "I'm Sorry, I Love You" in the same period. However, the reputation of the audience is good, and the ratings can meet the expected psychological requirements of KBS TV, which is already a good success.

When he said this, Kim Jae-yeol was silent for a while, and then he continued. "Don't focus on the screenwriters and scripts in the industry, there are many works suitable for adaptation in the novel industry, you can focus on these, as long as there are novels suitable for adaptation, remember to remember it, and find a channel to ask the original author to see how to sell the adaptation rights."

By the time the meeting was at this point, it was almost over, and after listening to Kim Jae-yeol's words, everyone hurriedly recorded them in detail in their notebooks, and they were all very serious.

"That's okay, that's all for today's meeting, everyone remember what I said, remember to follow the train of thought I said and think about how to find it, the Shuimu drama in January next year must be put on the agenda at this time, time waits for no one!"

Kim Jae-yeol said earnestly, and everyone nodded heavily when they heard his words, indicating that they understood.

"Okay, the meeting is over, everyone should prepare early when they go back, and you can tell me if you have any ideas."

With that, Kim Jae-yeol got up and prepared to leave, and the sharp-eyed subordinate immediately got up and came to the door to help open the door of the conference room, and said respectfully: "Director Kim, please!" ”

Seeing the back of the boss leaving, everyone in the conference room breathed a long sigh of relief, just now everyone didn't dare to come out, for fear that Kim Jae-yeol would vent his anger on his head, and when he saw him leave, a stone in his heart was put on the ground.

"What Director Jin said just now, how should we start?"

After all, I've never done this kind of work before.,Everyone has a feeling of not knowing where to start.,Fortunately, they're all elites in this industry.,Speaking of which, it's actually not difficult to find a novel.,Everyone also belongs to the type that can be understood at one point.,Maybe he didn't understand it before.,Everyone has reacted to this explanation.。

"Check the list of best-selling novels over the years, check the novels according to that list, and see if there are any suitable adaptations." An eldest sister senior of the TV drama production bureau said that after all, she was an old employee who had been working for more than ten years, and she immediately understood how to do the preparations.

"Okay, let's take action, don't let the gold bureau urge us anymore!" The seniors of the TV Drama Production Bureau clapped their hands and urged everyone to take action.

Everyone packed up their things, and then slowly walked out of the conference room. When I left, I was still chatting with my colleagues about how to carry out the next work

MBC TV drama production bureau has a lot of employees, and the office area of the employees alone occupies a whole floor, after all, in addition to the news department, the most important thing for MBC TV is the TV drama production bureau.

This office area of the TV Drama Production Bureau is very lively all day long, with people coming and going, and it looks very busy.

But. There are always times when these staff are 'busy', taking advantage of the fact that their immediate boss is not doing some other things, which is also a very common phenomenon, as long as they are not caught by the leader, there is such a thing in the northeast corner of this non-office area.

"Director Jin is here!"

Leng Buding heard the reminder from a colleague on the desk next door, Zhao Meiyu hurriedly cleaned up her desk, threw the comic book in hand into the drawer, turned her eyes to the computer, and pretended to work very hard.

Come over for a while. I didn't hear footsteps coming from nearby, what should the big guys around me do, just like the two senior brothers over there aren't they still talking about yesterday's stocks, where is there a little bit of Director Jin coming.

"Hahaha Meiyu, you are so simple, you believe this!"

Hearing that 'annoying' whisper, Zhao Meiyu immediately knew that she had been deceived, and her little face, which was already quite nervous, was dyed with a hint of gloom. He turned his head and whispered at her, "Ah! Wu Meiyan, are you impatient! ”

I heard the low roar of my colleague and friend Zhao Meiyu. Wu Meiyan reacted at this time, her joke just now was too big, didn't she immediately run to her friend's side and gently knead Zhao Meiyu's shoulder, and whispered to apologize.

"Meiyu, angry? I was just kidding you, who knew you really believed it? ”

Feel the strength of your shoulders. Zhao Meiyu didn't speak, she had to dry her, otherwise, she couldn't change her bad habit of playing tricks on people.

"Meiyu, are you still angry?" Wu Meiyan pillowed her head on Zhao Meiyu's shoulder. The hippie smiled and said good things, but she didn't want to coax her and stop being angry.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong just now, can't I buy you two comic books when I go back?" Seeing that her friend kept not opening her mouth to hang herself, Wu Meiyan used her killer move, she didn't believe that she said so, Zhao Meiyu was still not moved.

Comic books?

Hearing Wu Meiyan say this, Zhao Meiyu's face immediately changed, and her face, which was still a little gloomy, instantly returned to normal, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Don't be angry, do you?" Wu Meiyan felt that her friends around her were no longer angry, and she felt a lot more relieved, "I know that you don't have any resistance to comic books!" ”

Listening to her words, Zhao Meiyu couldn't help but defend herself: "What's the matter, I just like to read comics!" ”

"And say no, look at the bookcase at your house, the comic books are almost full, okay? Besides, you're still watching while you're at work, don't think I don't know! Wu Meiyan exposed her lie with a single sentence, and when she heard Wu Meiyan's words, Zhao Meiyu's face turned red unnoticed, and she laughed a little embarrassed.

"I often see you reading comics, is it really that good-looking?" Wu Meiyan asked a little puzzled, after all, a person like her, who doesn't have any hobbies on weekdays, is still a little difficult to understand Zhao Meiyu's hobbies.

"Comics are just beautiful, and the author of comics wants to create a different world for us, and let your mind wander in it."

As long as there is a slight opportunity, Zhao Meiyu will be interested in the benefits of Amway comics around her, and this time is no exception, she replaced the object of Amway with Wu Meiyan in front of her, hoping that she can also like reading comics as much as she does, after all, like-minded people have more common language, but it seems that Wu Meiyan doesn't like to read comics very much.

Hearing Zhao Meiyu's words, Wu Meiyan couldn't help but shake her head, "Then forget it, I won't read it, I feel that comics are not suitable for me, I still prefer to watch TV series." ”

"What's wrong with the comics? Comics are static TV series, but they don't have the real people on TV, but they're actually very good-looking. "What Zhao Meiyu can't stand the most is that others belittle comics, and it doesn't seem that she is going to start a battle with Wu Meiyan about the quality of comics.

"Forget it, with this effort, let's do the tasks arranged by the above, how many novels did you sort out on last year's novel list?" Wu Meiyan asked.

"Not much, there were so many novels on last year's charts"

"TV series? Caricature? ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Meiyu's words suddenly paused, and the whole person suddenly fell into deep thought, looking very focused.

"Meiyu, what's wrong with you?" Wu Meiyan on the side asked softly in a little puzzled when she saw this, "Do you have anything on your mind?" ”

After a while, Zhao Meiyu came back to her senses, with a relieved look on her face, did not answer Wu Meiyan's question just now, grabbed the comic book she had just put in from her drawer, and stood up.

Seeing her like this, Wu Meiyan was a little puzzled, "Meiyu, why are you going?" ”

"I'm going to find Director Kim?" Zhao Meiyu replied.

"You're not going to turn yourself in, are you?" Wu Meiyan was quite puzzled, couldn't it be the words she just said that stimulated her, right? Otherwise, why would she be holding a comic book to find Director Jin right now?

"This is the comic book you're talking about?"

In the office, Kim Jae-yeol read a few pages of the comic book at hand, then looked up at the female subordinate standing in front of him, a little surprised by her actions.

"Do you think it has merit in adaptation?" Kim Jae-yeol asked.

Standing in front of her boss, Zhao Meiyu was still more or less nervous, but after hearing Kim Jaeyeol's inquiry, she still suppressed the panic in her heart, and then replied: "Didn't you say at the meeting not to limit your eyes to the screenwriter and script?" Since novels can be adapted into TV series, then comics can naturally be adapted, and other TV stations have also had precedents for adapting comics to TV series before! ”

After listening to his subordinates' explanations, Kim Jaeyeol pondered for a while, and then said: "Okay, you go to the Song seniors in the bureau and tell me about the situation of this comic, if it is suitable for adaptation, then you can find the author of this comic." ”

Hearing Kim Jae-yeol's answer, Zhao Meiyu's face showed a hint of joy, and she was a little excited, "Yes, I know!" (To be continued......)
