Chapter 298: The Script About idol
Sitting in Bae Yongjun's office, drinking Lee Sung-hyun who still tastes very authentic American coffee. Seeing the person who walked into the office with a smile, it was really very surprised, and it seemed that he really didn't expect it to be him.
'Brother Zhenying, the person the predecessor said to wait for can't be you, right? Didn't you go to Thailand? ’
Regarding the arrival of Park Jin-young, who is also a teacher and friend, Lee Sung-hyun really seemed a little surprised. As far as he knows, Park Jin-young should have been busy with WonderGirls' overseas concerts recently, and it was really surprising to suddenly see it today.
Listening to Lee Sung-hyun's words, Park Jin-young also smiled and said, "After the preliminary work is prepared, I will naturally return to China." Speaking of which, I haven't seen you in a while. What do you think? It's been good lately, right? ”
After the previous beating incident, Park Zhenying also called to care about the greetings as soon as possible. Even the five girls of WonderGirls specially asked them to send New Year's text messages to Lee Sung-hyun on New Year's Day.
With the popularity of 'Nobody', WonderGirls' status in the Korean girl group has undoubtedly been promoted to the level of a first-line girl group. And this year, Park Jin-young also plans to use the whirlwind of 'Nobody' to promote this girl group to Europe and the United States.
Of course, he wouldn't have known that this decision ultimately cost WonderGirls the status of Korea's No. 1 girl group.
'What's wrong with resting at home every day?' By the way, Pei Yongjun's predecessor said about cooperation, why haven't I heard you mention it? ’
Thinking of him and Park Jinying, they will talk on the phone occasionally, but more often they talk about trivial matters. Now I suddenly know that the other collaborator that Bae Yong-joon said is Park Jin-young. Li Shengxian naturally felt curious.
Regarding Li Shengxian's curiosity, Pei Yongjun took the initiative to say: "Actually, this proposal. It is also a collaboration that I met with Zhenying a few years ago and accidentally discussed. I think. This collaboration may be more successful with Writer Li on board. ”
After inviting Park Jin-young to sit down, Bae Yong-jun's assistant was also quick to bring Park Jin-young a cup of coffee. His arrival also means that we can start talking about cooperation.
After listening to Bae Yongjun's words, Park Zhenying nodded and said, "Yes, I am the same year as Yongjun, and my personal relationship is also very good." During the previous chat, I didn't intend to talk about the promotion of idol packaging. We had the idea to work together.
Roughly speaking, it is hoped to produce TV series tailored for idols to achieve the purpose of promoting its idols. I believe that I don't need to say more, sages, you should also know that idol has a very low status in the circle.
And JYP is just relying on packaging to promote idols to survive, and Yongjun's company has production channels. What we lack now is a well-known screenwriter who understands idol, a script tailored for idol. ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Shengxian was very surprised and said, "Brother." You don't want to say, ask me to write this kind of script, do you? ”
Seeing that Li Shengxian seemed surprised, Pei Yongjun smiled and said, "Writer Li, about your situation." Zhenying and I know better. Speaking of which, you should be the youngest writer in the Korean screenwriting industry.
And I know it too. You also have a good relationship with many young idols in the circle. This shows that you understand the status of idol. At the moment, many idols want to enter the entertainment industry. But most of them are not very valued by the entertainment industry.
At the end of the day, that's not to say they're incompetent. It's more that their status in the circle is not high. If you can produce a TV series that is customized for young idols, there are not too many restrictions.
As long as the work can be successful, I believe that the people and the old people in the entertainment industry will slowly change the attitude of idol. This is also a rare good thing for brokerage companies engaged in idol packaging. ”
'Senior, I know what you mean, I roughly know. It's just that in my opinion, there are not many actors who really have acting skills in idol at present. Secondly, the production of such a TV series must be recognized by the audience in order to be considered a success. ’
Hit the nail on the head and pointed out the most critical link in the two's plan. There has never been a shortage of young idols in the Korean entertainment industry. But idols who really have strength and acting skills are not so easy to find.
If you have singing skills, acting skills, and appearance, I believe that it is difficult for such an idol to succeed. Secondly, such a production model is undoubtedly a challenge to the monopoly of several major TV stations that specialize in the production of TV dramas.
If it is successful, it is fine, but if it is not successful, it may make all the investment in vain. After all, filming a TV series requires a lot of money. A loss-making business, as a businessman, Park Jin-young will definitely not do it.
That's right, so the script and the actors are very important. However, if it can be successful, the benefits are still significant. Especially for a brokerage company like JYP, it is a new development model worth exploring. ’
In the face of Li Shengxian's point-to-point answer, Pei Yongjun also said frankly that it is indeed difficult for such cooperation to succeed. But in Pei Yongjun's opinion, some things always have to be tried to know if they can be successful.
If the cooperation with JYP can be successful, then Pei Yongjun can believe that the brokerage company he runs will become the sought after of major idol packaging brokerage companies. These brokerage companies are equivalent to another way to make money.
As long as you can find a TV platform for broadcasting, you have a certain viewing group. So the drama starring young idol is still very 'rich'. It's just that this kind of script is really rare sometimes!
At present, the most famous idol drama is undoubtedly the 'Meteor Garden', which has been remade many times. According to what Bae Yong-joon has learned, KBS is already planning to remake this campus idol drama this year.
This shows that TV dramas that focus on young idols still have a market in South Korea. And the most difficult part of it is that such a good script is rare. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the company that specializes in idol in South Korea would have done so a long time ago.
"Sage, in fact, after Yongjunjie and I thought of this cooperation model, the first person we wanted to cooperate with was you. First, you are young, you know the life preferences of young people at present, and you also understand the life circle of idol.
Secondly, your creative ability is also well known in the circle. If you can write a good script this time, I think that in the future, companies like S.M and YG will compete with you, and I will be the same with JYP.
What I'm doing now is nothing more than testing the waters for them. If it succeeds, then the status of our company will also be improved. In the future, these companies in the same industry will also have to accept a favor from me. ’
Listening to Park Jin-young's words of 'dare to be the first in the world', Lee Sung-hyun knew that such a thing was really not an easy thing for him. How can a script tailored for idols be so easy to write?
Said a little helplessly: "Brother, you really think too highly of me!" ”
On the contrary, Pei Yongjun said with a smile: "It's okay, I specially invited you to come over today, just hoping that you can take the time to create a script dedicated to idols." As for the time, we are not in a hurry. ”
If it was a script written casually, Pei Yongjun was afraid that he wouldn't dare to ask for it. For this kind of TV series, the success of the first part is very important. I'd rather work slowly and meticulously than start hastily and end up failing! (To be continued......)
