Chapter 161: The Workplace
MBC TV is positioned as a private enterprise, but a little investigation of the background of shareholders! You'll find that most of them have backgrounds mixed with parliamentarians, government officials, and so on. So in the eyes of discerning people, in addition to SBS, which is completely a private TV station, and KBS managed by the state, MBC happens to be caught in the middle! Semi-private, semi-state-owned. Because of its strong political background, but mainly profit-oriented, so in TV dramas, variety shows, etc., the investment is higher than KBS, but lower than SBS.
However, this does not mean that MBC has no money, but that people are powerful! It is possible to produce excellent products at a very low price. For example, in the show "Infinite Challenge", which has been trending for three years, in order to be able to create the essence of the show, you don't have to spend a lot of money to shoot good results.
And the program "The Birth of the Family" produced by the same general trend SBS TV station is based on the information investigated by Ji Ran! The cost of each installment is close to hundreds of millions of won, or even exceeds. In the same way, KBS's trendy program "Two Days and One Night" is also around 100 million won in terms of production costs.
And "Infinite Challenge"! I don't know if the six hosts are too cheap, or the PD named Kim Tae-ho who is in charge of this show is too economical. The maximum cost of each issue is 88 million won, and when it is low, it is less than 50 million. But the most bizarre thing is that this show has been popular for so many years, so Ji Ran came to the door.
"Ji Ran XI, you can have a good talk with Gao Yongyi about the project you invested in this time, as for the program broadcast process and what specific requirements there are, you can discuss it with Director Cui Mingjun." The deputy director of MBC said very directly that he knew Ji Ran's identity better than Gao Yongyi. For now, whoever befriends this young man is a cash cow.
"Director Yin is polite!" Ji Ran smiled and nodded, people with too high a position are even more difficult to socialize. Because compared to Gao Yongyi, there will be more.
It's just that what he wants to do this time is really not something that Gao Yongyi can solve. So there is no way, I can only find this big man.
"Then Ji Ran XI talk slowly, I still have some things to deal with, let's eat together at noon!" The middle-aged man with a very kind face said with a smile, and then after a few polite words with Ji Ran, he left the office.
Gao Yongyi straightened his waist, his eyes drooped and looked at Ji Ran, who was talking nonsense with his boss! He is older than Ji Ran, but in terms of status, he is very different. And his achievements today still depend on part of his family relationship, but this guy named Ji Ran in front of him! According to rumors, this guy seems to have started as a poor boy.
"Then Director Gao, Director Cui! This is a general plan that I customized, because I don't know much about this aspect, so I would like to ask you two to help. Ji Ran took out two copies of the document from his briefcase and put them in front of the two of them.
Cui Mingjun, who was over half a hundred years old and only introduced himself, nodded, then picked up the text and began to read it! Similarly, Gao Yongyi also watched it carefully. If he can satisfy Ji Ran this time, he may be able to leave the marketing department.
"Ji Ran XI, do you really want to sponsor this kind of show alone?" A few minutes later, Cui Mingjun looked at Ji Ran with a strange expression and said.
"That's right, what? Any questions? Ji Ran smiled, without the slightest hint of worry.
"Let's put it this way!" Cui Mingjun glanced at Gao Yongyi and cleared his throat: "What you ask is to recruit staff nationwide, and then eliminate unqualified personnel through the audition, and finally select the right people in the live TV broadcast." ”
"The investment amount ......" Cui Mingjun stopped here when he said it, to put it bluntly! The money of this variety show is too expensive, and the most important thing is - what do you rely on to earn back the amount of investment.
"This is my own arrangement, as long as everyone can enter the group stage, I can arrange work for them!" Ji Ran pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "As for whether the show can be profitable after it is broadcast, it doesn't matter. ”
"Then Ji Ran XI, according to my preliminary estimate! 1.5 billion won, that's a risk you have to take. Cui Mingjun looked through the plan again and finally gave a conclusion.
In fact, according to Ji Ran's request, 1.5 billion won is really MBC's friendship price. If it is according to the general contractor, or foreign investors, this kind of nationwide scale interest program, you really don't open your mouth without two billion.
"Oh?" Ji Ran was stunned, in fact, he really didn't expect it to be so cheap! According to his thoughts, I am afraid it will cost billions. After all, the crew of "Infinite Challenge" is so cold, and the cost of each issue is tens of millions. And his requirements in the plan are not low.
"Of course, this is only an estimate! I will make a specific plan and shoot the show for you at the lowest cost. Seeing Ji Ran's attitude, Cui Mingjun expressed his position directly. The other party is the person brought over by the deputy director himself, and depending on the situation, the deputy director who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early still attaches great importance to this young man.
In case, he displeased the other party! The devil knows if the deputy director will give him little shoes to wear.
"Then thank you, Director Cui!" Only then did Ji Ran react, it seemed that it could still be cheap. After scolding the accountants recruited by Wu Xijie in his heart, he talked about the details with the other party with a smile, during which Gao Yongyi was responsible for the contact with the funds.
Finally, after the initial agreement was negotiated, Ji Ran said goodbye and left.
"What a rich man! Opening a media company has made such a big splash. After Ji Ran left, Cui Mingjun looked at the plan and sighed.
"Director Cui, people are just here to play in the entertainment industry." Gao Yongyi picked up the paper cup on the conference table and gently sipped the already cold tea: "Remember this girl, maybe she is your chance to go further in the future." ”
Gao Yongyi took out his mobile phone, and the screen showed a photo of Park Ji-yeon opening her mouth and laughing!
Cui Mingjun looked at his phone, then at Gao Yongyi, his brows furrowed: "Ji Ran ran ran to open a media company for this girl?" ”
"Yes and not all!" Gao Yongyi pretended to be profound, and found that Cui Mingjun was staring at him with stupid eyes, and shook his head helplessly: "My parents said that Ji Ran is now a small treasury of Councilor Park, and this guy is not short of money at all." So come to the entertainment industry, not play, what is it? ”
"Then why didn't you speak just now, you are still bargaining with me in the investment negotiation with this identity." Cui Mingjun was dumbfounded for a moment, thinking that he actually took the initiative to reduce the investment amount, he couldn't be more stupid.
"He was born poor......" Gao Yongyi glanced at Cui Mingjun and said indifferently.
