During this small dinner, the members of "Birth of a Family" exchanged ideas with each other and unified their ideas, and it was basically certain that after the contract expired, none of these people would continue to renew it.

In other words, in about four months, "The Birth of a Family", the ace program of SBS, will be discontinued.

Others are just fixed teams in the show, as long as they do their job as 'artists', it won't be too troublesome for them whether the show is off the air or not.

However, Li Jingyuan is different, in addition to being a regular member of the show, he is also one of the planners of the show "Family Birth". Compared to the others, he felt that he should do something.

participated in another shooting, and after this time the filming was over, Liu Zaishi and Li Jingyuan found the PD of the program team and explained the situation to him.

This time, the ventilation did not pull in Lee Hyo-ri and others, only Liu Zai-seok and Li Jingyuan. Liu Zaishi is the most critical reason, so he naturally wants to explain the situation, and Li Jingyuan is acting as a guest at this time, responsible for maintaining the stability of the conversation between the two parties.

Don't think that Liu Zaishi has a good relationship with the staff, so he can handle this matter smoothly and quit smoothly.

You must know that the show "Birth of a Family" is now not low in SBS, and it can be said that it is the leader of SBS's variety shows. Such an important program, because of Liu Zaishi's personal reasons, will face the situation of being suspended, which is obviously an unacceptable thing for the strong SBS side.

Unlike KBS and MBC, there are at least two outdoor variety shows, and there is only one outdoor program that SBS can handle, first of all, the suspension of "Family Birth" will definitely make SBS's market share in the same period drop significantly.

Of course, while the ratings are declining, it will definitely lead to a significant drop in advertising costs. This is related to direct economic income, which is also the most important part of SBS.

From the perspective of earnings, SBS is not very able to accept such a result, and consider it from a state of mind. Same idea.

Generally speaking, if a certain program is suspended, it must be because the ratings are not high and cannot bring benefits to the TV station, and then the TV station takes the initiative to make the decision to stop broadcasting.

And now, "The Birth of a Family" is still very popular, and it can bring a lot of benefits to the TV station. However, it has to face the current situation of having to stop broadcasting. The gap between this one is 'active' and the other is 'passive'.

was taken by the actions of an artist Liu Zaishi, and the trump card program was about to be suspended, even if Liu Zaishi's popularity is very good, and he is a national MC, the high-level of the TV station will definitely be dissatisfied.

Don't underestimate this dissatisfaction, compared to TV stations, artists are still a vulnerable group after all, even if it is an identity like Liu Zaishi. It must also be troublesome to be rectified.

Li Jingyuan came forward with Liu Zaishi this time, just to avoid that kind of situation and try to maintain the relationship between Liu Zaishi and SBS. And did not let Lee Hyori and others come together. It is also motivated by the same considerations. After all, leaving the program team, several people reached an agreement in advance, and then came to inform them, such a thing is almost the same concept as 'joint forced palace' in the eyes of the program team.

With Li Jingyuan interjecting in the middle to adjust the atmosphere, the director of the PD and SBS variety show departments of the "Family Birth" program group, although he was a little surprised, he still accepted Liu Zaishi's approach relatively mildly, and finally did not cause any contradictions, and saw that the two parties reached an agreement smoothly. Li Jingyuan, the middleman, is still relatively happy.

Of course, after being happy, Li Jingyuan inevitably encountered trouble.

The middleman is not something that can be done casually, for the sake of his face, SBS did not find trouble with Liu Zaishi, correspondingly. He, the middleman, is going to have to pay some money. …,

What's more, Li Jingyuan is also the planner of "The Birth of a Family", and in both public and private terms, he should give some advice to deal with the big trouble of 'the show is about to stop broadcasting'.

To put it bluntly, SBS just wants Li Jingyuan to think of another way, come up with some suggestions, and get a new program to fill the gap after "The Birth of a Family" was suspended.

"Jing Yuan, do you have a good idea? Have you already thought of a good plan? A few days later, Li Jingyuan came to SBS again, and after walking into the office of the director of the variety show department, he was stopped by Jiang Shengzhu and asked.

Although there are still about four months before the show is really suspended, there is still a lot of time in between, but Kang Sung-so, who is a minister, is already a headache.

SBS's planners are not incapable, and they have been able to make shows like "Love Letters" and "X-M" before, which has proven that they have strong planning skills.

But after all, it is an indoor show, and in Kang Sung-so's opinion, their grasp of wild variety shows still cannot be compared with Lee Kyung-won, the 'master of wild variety shows'.

And there is still a reluctant infatuation with "The Birth of a Family", even if Yoo Jae-seok and this group of members leave, Kang Sung-so still wants to continue the show.

If you want to change a group of people to do the second season of the show, you have to listen to Li Jingyuan's advice. Because in Kang Sung-so's view, Lee Kyung-won knows the context of this show best, and he is also the best at recommending suitable candidates.

"Hehe, Brother Shengzhu, didn't I come on an errand?" Facing Jiang Shengzhu's inquiry, Li Jingyuan smiled and shook the two paper bags in his hand. It contained the plan he had come up with in the past few days.

"Show me." After taking the bag from Li Jingyuan's hand, Jiang Shengzhu immediately felt a little strange, because there was a big difference in the weight of the two bags, one was quite thick, and the other looked light: "Jingyuan, this is?" ”

"Open it and see if you know it?" Li Jingyuan went to pour himself a glass of water, and then sat on the sofa next to Jiang Shengzhu and said: "The thin one is half a plan, and the thick one is a completed new plan." ”

"Half??" Hearing this word, Kang Sung-so became more and more curious, so he put down the thick bag first and opened the thinner one.

There were only two pieces of paper in the bag, and seeing this, Kang Sung-so showed a crying and laughing expression: "What is this?" The planning of two sheets of paper? ”

"Hehe, don't underestimate these two pieces of paper, I've spent a lot of brains." Li Jingyuan leaned over, pointed to the title on it and said, "See? "The Birth of a Family Season 2". I don't need to say it. Brother Sung-so, you probably know how difficult it is to plan a sequel, right? ”

Sometimes, coming up with a sequel is more mind-wrenching than coming up with a brand new show. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods. The key to all this is in this one 'than' word.

Take "The Birth of a Family" as an example. This first season of the show that Lee Kyung-won participated in. The ratings are high and the audience is very receptive, that is, the viewers have formed a fixed impression in their minds after watching it for so long.

The new show also bears the title of "The Birth of a Family", and after it is broadcast, it will naturally be compared by the audience with the first season. How the new members are doing and whether the content of the show has changed. There are many many aspects that create a direct contrast.

If it is a completely different new program, as long as the first episode is not too bad, then you can win a lot of time to adjust, and the program can also be improved while shooting, and the most sluggish ratings curve will be an upward trend.

But now? The first season of "The Birth of a Family" is really popular, and it has long had a fixed audience group. In other words, when the second season starts, it will receive a lot of attention from the beginning. …,

If the first episode doesn't work out well. Audiences will be disappointed, and when they do, it will be more difficult to regain the lost audience.

The first episode of the second season must not be too bad. At the very least, it can't be too much worse than the first season, otherwise there will definitely be a large loss of audiences, and then it will be difficult to recover. In other words, after the sequel to "The Birth of a Family", there are not many opportunities for adjustment.

Brand new shows are generally 'suppressed first and then raised', while sequels are generally 'high and low', how to avoid such a situation is a problem that needs to be considered.

"Jing Yuan, do you mean that the program flow of the second season will not be changed for the time being, and it will be the same as the first season? And then make a fuss about staffing? "I saw the method given in Li Jingyuan's plan. Kang Sung-so asked with some concern.

"That's right." Li Jingyuan nodded, and his expression became serious: "After all, it's still a sequel, if you want to be stable, then it's best not to replace everything." ”

"The staffing is destined to change, and if the content of the program is replaced, it will be for the audience. This is a practice of 'selling dog meat with a sheep's head'. Under the rebellious mentality, there is a high probability of a collapse. ”

"My suggestion is to keep the program flow for the time being, only change the personnel, and wait for the audience to accept this second batch of people, and then slowly adjust the content of the program."

"Give the audience time to get used to it. Just like we can't use strong medicine after a serious illness, we can only adjust it little by little, so that it doesn't seem too abrupt. ”

Listening to Li Jingyuan's words, Jiang Shengzhu thought for a while, and couldn't help but nodded: "What you said is right, you really can't be too anxious." ”

The two agreed on the same thing, and the next thing to discuss was about the composition of the new team.

"Jing Yuan, tell me about your recommendation? Who is better suited to take on this show? Although there are a few candidates in his heart, Jiang Shengzhu still wants to listen to Li Jingyuan's advice first, after all, Li Jingyuan's past achievements are all there.

"First of all, it is to confirm a core figure for this team like Brother Shi." Li Jingyuan said the first and most important point very seriously.

In Li Jingyuan's view, the reason why the second season of "The Birth of a Family" failed so much in history was because a core character was not determined.

Ji Sangyeol, Shin Bong-sun, and Kim Won-hee are the three main variety artists in the original second season, which can be regarded as the backbone of the show, while the remaining Zhao Quan, Yuna, Yuzeyan and Yoon Sang-hyun can only be regarded as foils.

Ji Sangyeol is not a suitable candidate for a main MC, and Shin Fengshan is similar, what she most often does in variety shows is 'praise'. Jin Yuanxi, the only one with a relatively long experience in the arts, has never participated in a wild-type variety show, and she is still a housewife who is not very physical and mentally guaranteed, so she is not a suitable leader.

In other words, although there are three variety show veterans, none of them are characters who can hold the scene.

In Li Jingyuan's view, such a situation is simply nonsense. Although it is under the name of 'family', in the final analysis, it is still doing a show, and how can there be no main MC in a show? There is no main MC. How to grasp the process of the program? How to control the scene? Who controls the heat when bickering?

Obviously, without the main MC, the show must be a 'mess'. In fact, the original second season of the show ran into this problem.

In the beginning. wants to use the method of 'choosing parents' to determine authority, and the practice of the program team in history made Li Jingyuan very disdainful. …,

If it's in the U.S. or Europe, this can be a good idea. But don't forget, this is in Korea. Young people are elected as parents, and even if the elders of the members don't say anything, they will definitely have opinions in their hearts.

And as the young people who were chosen, they were given this 'parent' position. How to deal with other members of the family is also a big problem.

If you want to exert the authority of the 'parent', you have to embarrass the elders, and if you are not careful, you will definitely be criticized by the audience; It's not easy to get a balance between that. At the very least, when Li Jingyuan watched the show before, he didn't find that Zhao Quan, Yun'er, or Yu Zeyan showed such qualifications.

It may have been discovered later on. So the program team began to remedy. found Kim Hee-cheol, and then found Jang Dongmin. However, these two people also don't play a role, not to mention that they joined too late, and they are also not good candidates to take on the core.

"Core? Do you have the right person? ”

"I think Brother Jidong is good. And I can't think of any other suitable person other than him. Li Jingyuan hesitated, but still said his thoughts.

"Kim Jidong??" After listening to Li Jingyuan's recommendation, Jiang Shengzhu's brows suddenly wrinkled.

In terms of ability alone, Jin Jidong is indeed a very suitable candidate. After all, it is not for nothing that he can be called the 'three major MC' together with Jiang Hudong and Liu Zaishi.

But then again, Jin Jidong is not just capable, and there are still some controversies in him, especially in recent times, Jin Jidong has been involved in a big trouble.

Just a few days ago, Kim Ji-dong was removed from his MC position in "Star Admiralty" by KBS. Although KBS general manager Lee Byung-soon said: "There is no political reason for Kim Jidong's resignation. Cho Dae-hyun, head of the KBS Production Headquarters, also said, "Kim Ji-dong has been in charge for about four years. It may be that the new cast will bring changes to the show. But the public did not accept this explanation.

Regardless of whether Kim Jidong really committed a foul, even if KBS's explanation is true, the public will only think that Kim Jidong is involved in political issues. The reason why Kim Ji-dong was 'taken' was because he presided over the road festival of former President Roh Moo-hyun, which is what ordinary people think.

Let such a person who is in the limelight take the core of the second season of the show, Jiang Sung-so's heart is naturally a little drumming. And having said that, to be able to get into such a position, of course Jiang Shengzhu also has his own connections, he knows some insiders, and understands that the actual reason why Kim Jidong was 'taken' is because of political relations, so naturally he will not agree with Li Jingyuan's recommendation.

"Jin Jidong, this is troublesome. Jing Yuan, can you change someone?? I'm sure you've seen the recent news, Zhilu Dao Jidong is a landmine now, right? Kang Sung-so hesitated for a moment, but still said that he really didn't want Kim Jidong to participate in this show.

"Brother Shengzhu, I know what you're worried about." Li Jingyuan shook his head, showed a smile and said, "Is it nothing more than worrying that Jidong's joining will bring political trouble?" I'll find a way to solve this point, I guess Brother Shengzhu also knows my identity, I find some relationships, and it's not too difficult to solve the trouble on Brother Jidong. ”

Li Jingyuan thought very clearly, to solve Jin Jidong's troubles, it was necessary to start from the source. Posing as the young patriarch of the Li family and using some connections, it will not be too difficult to solve the problem.

Although Lee Kyung-won didn't say it very clearly, Kang Sung-so still understood. In the final analysis, Kim Jidong is nothing more than his remarks that offended the authorities. Who is the head of the authorities? Lee Myung-bak, Kang Sung-so has already gotten the gossip, and he knows that Lee Kyung-won and Lee Myung-bak have a good relationship, maybe he can really solve this problem.

"Then let's do it, if Jin Jidong can get out of trouble, then I'll let him be the core, if not, then my brother I can only say I'm sorry."

"Okay, no problem." Li Jingyuan got Kang Sung-so's promise, and he also laughed a little happily, and reached out to high-five him to make an agreement. After putting down his hand, Li Jingyuan added: "Hehe, Brother Shengzhu, actually, we are all a little anxious." Do you think, when the second season starts, it will be at least four months later, after such four months, how many people can still pay attention to Brother Jidong's affairs? ”

"Hehe, that's what I said."
