Chapter 38: The Beginning of Success
As an MBC drama broadcast on Mondays and Tuesdays, the third episode of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" has been broadcast. The ratings of nearly 24 percent have really determined the ratings champion of the dramas broadcast in the same time period.
In the face of the continued growth of ratings, the cast and crew of the crew are very happy. Being able to participate in the filming of a champion drama, whether it is the actors or the crew, is a rare capital.
As the writer and screenwriter of this drama, Lee Sung-hyun was previously known as the youngest writer. With the high ratings of the third and fourth episodes, he soon became the youngest popular writer and champion screenwriter in the hearts of the people.
With this TV series, Lee Sung-hyun, whose ability has been recognized. Soon I got the news from the SN website that the sales of physical books, which had been declining, began to increase again, and it is very possible to exceed 300,000 copies.
Secondly, Park Zhentai, who is the editor-in-chief of the website, also said happily: "Sengxian, there is a publishing house now, and I want to publish your currently updated novel." There is also good news that KBS intends to buy the rights to the television adaptation of the novel. ”
Hearing Park Jin-tae's words, Lee Sung-hyun was not too surprised by the TV series adaptation. But he felt that it seemed a little too early to talk about this at this time. After all, the drama in hand is not finished!
"Editor-in-chief Park, you can contact my aunt about the publishing house. If the conditions are right, there is nothing wrong with my side. As for the adaptation of the TV series, it is still on the air first, and the No. 1 store has not been filmed! ’
Lee Sung-hyun's answer surprised Park Jin-tae. After thinking about it, I also feel that Li Shengxian's consideration actually has some truth. Compared with other screenwriters, there is a maximum of one work a year, and Li Shengxian's speed is indeed a bit fast.
It's just that in Park Jin-tae's view, Lee Sung-hyun is different from other screenwriters. Other screenwriters are only good at script writing. But Li Shengxian is also good at writing novels, and can ensure that the plot of the novel is not affected, and write a script suitable for filming.
Thinking of this, Park Jin-tae also smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll talk to KBS, and when you finish the drama in hand, I'll let them contact you." What do you think? ”
'Yes! Trouble Park editor-in-chief! ’
After ending the call, Li Shengxian also really felt the effect of the increase in fame. Compared with the 'Coffee Prince No. 1 Store', it is somewhat unexpectedly popular. Now the newer novel says more about his writing ability.
Not long after ending the call with Park Jin-tae, her aunt Lee Min-joo called and said with a smile: "Seng-hyun, it seems that you really succeeded." Before the filming of this drama is finished, a TV station has booked the script of your second novel.
I'll talk to them about the publishing contract in person. As for working with TV stations, you can make up your own minds. If you can, you'd better write another novel and give it to SBS.
If only you had three works, you would have been as successful as you are now. Then I dare to say that in the future, your status in the film and television industry will far exceed that of other well-known domestic screenwriters. So, keep up the good work! ”
Listening to Li Minzhu's encouragement on the mobile phone, Li Shengxian said helplessly: "Auntie, creation also needs to be inspired!" Now that I'm busy enough, what about other works?
However, your advice makes a lot of sense. I'll try it if I have the chance. As soon as I finish the drama I have now, I will try my best to create a third work and try to make it available to SBS. ”
When signing a contract with MBC, Lee Yoon-jung also asked if Lee Sung-hyun had considered becoming a contracted writer of MBC. If you sign a contract, you only need to pay one work per year, and you can enjoy the treatment of a well-known author.
While enjoying these preferential treatments, you can't hand over the scripts you create to other TV stations. This kind of contract, Li Shengxian naturally refused very simply. He likes to create, but he doesn't like to be constrained.
If KBS can show sincerity in the second work, Lee Sung-hyun doesn't mind handing over this work to KBS. And he also hopes that with these works, he will be truly recognized by the three major TV stations.
With the fifth week of the 10th episode of "No. 1 Store", the slowly growing ratings finally broke through the 30 mark. And this rating leaves other TV stations far behind in the dramas broadcast at the same time.
When feeling the joy of success, Lee Yoon-jung, as a director, was about to end filming with the crew. He also proposed to buy the TV adaptation rights of Lee Sung-hyun's second novel.
In the face of Lee Yoon-jeong's suggestion, Lee Sung-hyun said very directly: "I'm very sorry, Lee PD, the TV adaptation rights of my second novel, KBS proposed cooperation two weeks ago. I promised at the time that I would talk about it when the show was over.
Therefore, if MBC wants to cooperate with me for a second time, it will need to wait until I get in touch with KBS. The truth of 'people do not stand without faith', I believe that Li PD can understand it, right? ”
'Ahh KBS contacted you so early? I read your second novel, it should be a while before it ends, right? ’
Yes, if this drama is to be adapted into a TV series, it should be a feature-length drama. I still need to wait for the script to adapt how many episodes I can adapt, but at least there will be no less than 100 episodes.
Although this novel also took a lot of my time and energy. But I can't guarantee that this novel will be adapted into a TV series and will have the same hot ratings as this show is now. So, I want to concentrate on writing first, and then slow down the adaptation for the time being. ’
From Lee Sung-hyun's words, I can hear that this MBC is a step slower than KBS. Li Yunzhen didn't say much, but expressed her hope that she would have a chance to continue to cooperate with him.
Although Lee Yoon-jung is the director, this drama is now recognized by the people. But next time, whether she can continue to make such a successful TV series will really have to try her luck.
In contrast, as a creator of a TV series, Lee Sung-hyun's potential is much higher than her. First, Li Shengxian is very young, and there are countless opportunities in the future. Second, with this TV series, he can be promoted to a popular screenwriter.
If you are lucky, the second work will also be recognized by the audience. In the future, Li Shengxian's power in the TV station will be far greater than that of her as a director. To build a good relationship, I also hope to have opportunities to continue to cooperate in the future.
Li Shengxian naturally wouldn't know about her thoughts. After the crew finished filming the last episode, it meant that the crew was almost over. And this also means that Li Shengxian's café can finally operate normally.
Thinking that this was a business opening, Li Shengxian wanted to invite a few actors from the crew and some friends to come over and have a lively time. Anyway, it's also festive and auspicious!
Secondly, Li Shengxian, who realizes that his connections are important, also hopes to make more friends with more artists in the entertainment industry through guò. Since you choose to enter the entertainment industry, it doesn't hurt to get to know more people in the circle!
