Chapter 1068 Requirements for KBS
"Menjie, the Seventh Princess is on fire, really on fire, Ha Luha, I really didn't misunderstand you!"
In a high-end hotel in South Korea with very good decoration, Kim Jun-chul raised his wine glass and said very excitedly to Menjie.
"Brother Junzhe, without your support, even if I do a good job, it's useless!"
With a chuckle, Menjie also picked up his wine glass, touched it with Jin Junzhe, and drank it all.
With Menjie's amount of alcohol, even high liquor can drink a lot, let alone the soju in the cup at this time.
During the day today, Menjie took a plane to South Korea, and after a little rest, he was pulled out by Kim Jun-chul, who learned the news, out for a drink.
During this time, Jin Junzhe was suffocated, and I don't know how many times Lu Dao called Menjie to make an appointment, and wanted to invite Menjie to dinner and talk about his future work!
At the beginning of September 2006, the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" funded by Menjie and created by Celebrity Film and Television Company was officially broadcast on KBS TV in South Korea.
The reason why it can be broadcast, of course, is that Kim Jun-chul has played a huge role in this, if the results of the TV series are strong, then Menjie will get the opportunity to cooperate with KBS TV for a long time, and Kim Jun-chul will also be able to gain huge fame in the station, which will be of great benefit to him in the competition for deputy director.
Of course, if it fails, the careers of Menjie and Kim Junzhe will be dealt a huge blow.
At the beginning, the ratings of the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" were not very high, and the ratings did not even reach 10% at the beginning, which was indeed very disappointing for Menjie and Kim Junzhe.
However, the increase in ratings in the next few days made the two extremely excited.
In just one week, it has reached nearly 15% of the ratings, according to such a growth trend. The TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" definitely has the potential to be a big hit!
Even if it reaches the '25% average rating, 30% highest rating' agreed in the contract between Menjie and KBS TV, I am afraid it will not take long to achieve it!
Then the results of the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" did not disappoint Menjie!
It was officially broadcast at the beginning of September, and until the beginning of December, three months have passed, and more than 20 episodes of the TV series have been broadcast.
Until the episode aired two days ago, the ratings of this TV series seemed to have reached 28.4%. The average viewership has also reached 24.1%.
Although it has not yet reached the data agreed between Menjie and KBS TV, it is only less than 1% of the average rating, and less than 2% of the highest rating, so you don't need to think about it, it won't take a few days. You're going to be able to get there!
There are 80 episodes of the TV series, as of now. Not even a third of it has been broadcast yet. And judging from the data and netizen messages, the trend of this TV series is very good, as long as there are no accidents, with the passage of time, the ratings will gradually increase a lot!
And it's not just the results on the data, even if it's compared with other TV series. The TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" also occupies an absolute advantage!
With less than a third of the episodes aired, the ratings had climbed to the No. 5 spot in the 2006 Korean ratings, even though it was only 0.1% higher than the sixth-ranked drama "My Love Ugly Eight." But it's also very powerful.
And there are still two episodes of the TV series "My Love Ugly Eight Monsters" will officially end, and at that time, with the current Korean TV series not being able to surpass the sniping of the strong enemy of "The Rumored Seven Princesses", I am afraid that the ratings of "The Rumored Seven Princesses" will have an extremely terrifying rise in the near future!
In this regard, Menjie and Kim Junzhe are very happy!
And that's not all!
As the first in South Korea, Chinese actors and Korean actors have launched a TV series that works in complete close cooperation, although there are many actors in the play, the Korean people do not know each other, but it does not affect people's welcome to these Chinese actors.
Just as many Korean actors are very popular in China, Chinese actors in South Korea can also be very popular.
However, to Menjie's surprise, the most popular Chinese actor in South Korea was not Yao Chen, one of the leading actors, but Liu Shishi, who played a supporting role in the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses", with a supporting role, he had a very expensive and terrifying popularity that was not inferior to Yao Chen!
There are even many Korean fans who call Liu Shishi 'the first goddess of China' and the like, which really surprises Menjie.
But this was followed by euphoria.
After all, it is the first star under his own company that has gained considerable popularity in South Korea, and it is worth cultivating in the future!
"Menjie, brother will be honest with you, thanks to this TV series of yours, my prestige in the station has skyrocketed a lot!"
It seemed that he had drunk a little too much, and Kim Jun-cheol took Menjie's hand and began to chatter.
"Originally, I was quite confident in the competition for the deputy director, but suddenly out of nowhere, three old-timers jumped out of the road, whether it was prestige, connections, or achievements, they were much stronger than me, and I even had the urge to give up the competition at that time, but I didn't expect it...... Just because of my cooperation with you, although my prestige in the stage is not as good as these three people, but it is not without room for fighting back, except for these three people, the other candidates who were originally similar to me are no longer my opponents, ha, even if this election fails, as long as there is you, I will definitely succeed next time! ”
"Brother Junzhe, the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" really brought you such a big help?" Kim Jun-chul said this, but Menjie was a little unconvinced.
It's just a TV series, and it has such a big effect?
And it is important to know that although it became the fifth most watched TV drama in Korea in 2006, among the first four TV dramas, there are still two works by KBS TV. Can it really have such a big effect?
"Of course, in addition to the simple ratings, you are not ignorant of the symbolic meaning of this TV series!"
Nodding solemnly, Kim Jun-chul said without hesitation.
Indeed, with the popularity of the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" in South Korea, the broadcast in China is also popular!
In itself, Menjie's foundation in China is quite solid, and the appeal of the TV series is also quite strong, coupled with the influence of the Korean Wave, it has attracted the attention of countless people.
In terms of ratings. Up to now, more than 20 episodes have been broadcast, and the ratings have climbed to 6.25%!
Although it is only more than half of the ratings of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", it is quite incredible that it can reach 6.25%, and the first TV series "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" starring in the door is only 6.4% in the end. And there is also the result of Su Youpeng, Jia Jingwen and others starring.
The actors in the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" are in the eyes of Chinese audiences. Most of them are 'raw faces'. But it is not easy to get such an audience rating of 6.25% with one-third of the episodes that have been broadcast.
And Menjie estimates that with the passage of time, it is a sure thing that the TV series will eventually reach a rating of 7%, and there is a huge possibility of reaching 8%. If it is higher, it is estimated that it will be suspended.
can exceed the 8% ratings, and it can definitely be regarded as the top three most popular TV series in China throughout the year.
The TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses", which has the highest ratings of more than 28% in South Korea, has become popular with Yao Chen and Liu Shishi, who rose unexpectedly, and similarly, this TV series has also become popular with many Korean stars in China.
For cultural exchanges between China and Korea. has a huge impact, and KBS TV and Mango TV, which are in the central matchmaking area, definitely have quite a huge benefit.
Correspondingly, for Jin Junzhe and Chen Fengxiao, there are also quite huge benefits, and among colleagues at the same level, they can definitely be regarded as a small part of the most powerful and prestigious!
Naturally, Menjie, who has a very close relationship with the two of them, has also gained quite huge benefits.
"Menjie, your TV series has achieved very good results on our KBS TV station, and even the final ratings, after expert speculation, can at least reach the average rating of 30% and the highest rating of 35%, which is basically an excellent work that can be ranked among the top three by the judges next year, and the intention of the TV station and you to continue to cooperate is also very clear, after a few days of discussion, the final conclusion was finally given!"
After chatting for a while, although he felt a little confused, when it came to formality, Jin Junzhe was not ambiguous at all, and said directly to Menjie, "Needless to say, the relationship between the two of us is definitely a grasshopper on the same ship, I won't talk nonsense with you, and I will tell you the meaning of KBS TV directly!" ”
Seeing that Menjie nodded slightly, Jin Junzhe stopped talking nonsense and said directly to Menjie.
"On the one hand, the TV series is very popular, and on the other hand, it is also because of the cooperation with you that it can promote cultural exchanges between China and South Korea, but you are a Chinese after all, so it is impossible for Taiwan to directly cooperate with you at a deep level, which you must understand!"
"However, the station finally decided that I am willing to take the lead in signing a contract with you for two TV series, and the two TV series produced by your company in the future with Chinese actors and Korean actors can be broadcast directly in the prime time of KBS TV, and the treatment of the entertainment company that has cooperated with us for a long time will be given to you according to the normal treatment of the entertainment company that we have cooperated with for a long time, and the price is also specified according to the standards of large film and television companies, and the ratings are specified!"
Nodding slightly, he was also very satisfied with the treatment given by KBS.
After all, there has only been a cooperation in one TV series, and Menjie is still a Chinese, so it is naturally impossible for the other party to directly give a contract for long-term cooperation and a contract for in-depth cooperation.
Even a large company in South Korea must have at least a few works and a good cooperative relationship for several years before it can sign a long-term cooperation contract, and each in-depth contract is extremely cautious, and it is impossible to sign it at will.
can ensure that the two future TV series can reach the level of 'long-term cooperation', Menjie is already very satisfied.
Menjie believes that with the popularity of the two TV series created by celebrity film and television companies in South Korea in the future, the cooperation between himself and KBS TV will be more intimate.
"According to the station, if any of your next two TV series can also reach the rank of 'top ten annual ratings', you will be provided with a contract for cooperation, and slowly, as long as the TV series produced by your company in the process of cooperation generally shows a good trend, five will be produced in seven years." The top 10 TV dramas in the annual ratings, KBS TV is willing to officially sign a long-term cooperation contract with you, as for the issue of in-depth cooperation, we have not officially discussed, after all, it is still too far away! ”
Five popular TV series in seven years? And it is required that these five TV series are all works cooperated by Chinese and Korean actors, and they do not require a big fire in Huaxia, but they also require a certain reputation and can be officially broadcast?
Listening to Kim Jun-cheol's request, Menjie fell silent and thought about it in his heart.
This requirement is indeed higher than that of local Korean film and television companies.
If it's just a local Korean film and television company, the requirements are probably lower than those for Menjie, for example, they also require five popular TV series, but the limited time will be about ten years.
However, for Menjie, whether it is seven years or ten years, or a shorter period of time, it is actually the same, and Menjie has absolute confidence that he can complete the work of the 'five popular TV series' in a shorter time.
But to be honest, requiring every TV series to include Chinese stars and Korean stars makes Menjie speechless.
However, after thinking about it in his heart, Menjie probably also had a plan.
In fact, Huaxia's Mango TV finally gave Menjie's requirements, which was a little more difficult than KBS TV.
There is no time set, but it is required that ten productions with ratings of more than 5% must be released.
Other than that, there are no other requirements.
After all, compared to South Korea, there are too many film and television companies in Huaxia, and after there are more rich people, there will always be people who take checks to find scripts to invest in the world, although the birth rate of excellent works is not very high, but they can't stand a large base, and there will always be some works with good results.
Naturally, if you want to get a long-term contract, you need more works to prove yourself!
Of course, in Mango Taizhong, Chen Fengxiao also tried his best to fight for himself, but in the end, he also won a lot of rights and interests, and finally made such a decision. (To be continued......)
