Chapter 1571 - A Show That I Don't Care Too About
PS: Thank you for the tip!
There are many activities at the end of the year, and there are countless tasks that Cui Zhengyuan needs to do. ◎, but in this case, there are still people coming to the door.
Looking at the slightly restrained man and woman in front of him, Cui Zhengyuan had no choice but to deal with it patiently.
The man's name is Liang Chengwan, and he is a PD of SBS TV. And the woman is also a writer of SBS, named Shen Jingxi.
Generally speaking, when PD and writers like this come to the company, they must negotiate with A.P about the program.
However, Cui Zhengyuan is a little puzzled that there has been no cooperation with SBS TV recently.
Even if there is anything that needs to be negotiated, it would be good for the other party to find Liu Zaishi directly. After all, he is the minister of the acting department, and he is fully responsible for this kind of thing.
"Welcome two to A.P Company as guests, I don't know what to do?" Cui Zhengyuan was very busy, and he didn't have time to greet slowly, so he went straight to the topic.
Liang Chengwan rubbed his hands, both a little apprehensive and a little expectant. "I'm really sorry to disturb Tsui's work."
Cui Zhengyuan waved his hand and interrupted: "Let's get down to business, it seems that the two of you should also be busy, and everyone's time is precious." ”
I didn't see the tea for you, so it's polite to meet you. Why are you so ignorant?
If the person who comes is a senior member of SBS, even if it is just a bureau chief, Cui Zhengyuan will be carefully entertained.
It's just a PD and a writer, and it's not at the level of Zhao Xiaozhen, so he won't care.
Regarding Cui Zhengyuan's neglect, Liang Chengwan and Shen Jingxi didn't dare to complain, even if they were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to put on their faces.
Liang Cheng pondered for a moment and said the purpose of his visit. "That's right, recently our SBS TV station has made some plans for the Sunday variety show. "The Law of the Jungle," which was supposed to air on Sunday, has been moved to Friday, and the gap before "Runningman" will be filled into a music talent show. And me. It's the PD in charge of this show. ”
"Oh? Is your station also going to do a talent show? Cui Zhengyuan said in a weird way.
Since HBC TV broadcast "I Am a Singer", the music talent show has quickly become popular in South Korea for a while.
Several other TV stations are also urgently producing parody programs in an attempt to take advantage of the craze to attract viewers.
Therefore, Cui Zhengyuan's words inevitably have no irony in them.
And after Liang Chengwan heard this, his face quickly turned red. This shows that he is not yet a qualified program producer, and he has no habit of plagiarizing into nature.
Generally speaking, when it comes to creative plagiarism of shows, many people will first think of China. And many Chinese viewers still feel inferior to this question.
In fact, in the history of the world's entertainment program system, everyone simply copied each other.
Copy, copy, copy, copy out of experience, the level has come up. Naturally, you can develop and create on your own.
For example, at the beginning, most of Japan's variety shows learned from the United States, and RTHK learned from Japan.
South Korea's first variety shows were borrowed from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan, and it was not until the basic artist talents were cultivated that they began to embark on the road of independence.
Even now, plagiarism is still a trend in South Korea.
For example, after "Where Are You Going, Dad" became popular, KBS TV soon launched "Superman is Back" with a similar theme.
And the original idea of many outdoor reality shows basically comes from the special episode of "Infinite Challenge".
This is also the fundamental reason why "Infinite Challenge" is called a national variety show, and its producer, Kim Tae-ho, has such a lofty status in the Korean industry.
It's the same now. "I Am a Singer" is extremely popular, and even the Chinese version is very popular. Therefore, SBS watched it hotly, and quickly threw itself into the production of music talent shows.
However, blushing is blushing, Liang Chengwan is still very confident.
Because he is in charge of the program, although it is also a music talent show. But the style and mode of "I Am a Singer" are completely different.
"This kind of theme is currently very popular with the audience, so for the sake of ratings, our TV station also has to judge the situation." After Liang Cheng was ashamed, he generously confessed his thoughts about the TV station.
For this. Cui Zhengyuan appreciated it very much. "That's good, I wish your show a big hit. I just don't know what this new show has to do with our A.P company? ”
Shen Jingxi interjected and came in. "It's not related to your company, but it's related to Executive Cui?"
"Me? Why? Cui Zhengyuan was a little puzzled.
This time, the show is obviously produced by SBS independently. How did you find his head?
Shen Jingxi, as the chief writer of the show, has a lot to say. "That's right, the contestants set by our show are not professional singers who have debuted and become famous, but mainly ordinary people. In addition, among the rewards we have set, they are given the opportunity to sign up for a major entertainment company. In such a situation, it is necessary to have judges who are representative of the major companies. At present, we have invited several representatives such as BOA, Park Jin-young, Yang Hyun-seok and Lux to serve as judges. As the largest entertainment company in our country, a.p has an incomparable attraction to music lovers. Therefore, if Cui Changchang can become a judge, it will definitely be the best encouragement for our contestants. ”
Cui Zhengyuan suddenly realized that what this female writer said was not the later "K-popstar".
The ratings and topicality of this show are not bad, but he doesn't pay too much attention to it, so he doesn't remember it very clearly in his impression.
Although it is true that many of the contestants of this show signed up for big entertainment companies in the end, it was the judges BOA, Park Jin-young, and Yang Hyun-seok who left a deep impression on him.
These can be said to be the representatives of the three major entertainment companies in South Korea, and even the real power figures.
If the contestants are valued by them, it will not be a dream to enter the best entertainment company in Korea.
It can be said that this urine spot found by SBS TV is indeed extraordinary. It seems that JYP and YG companies have also received a lot of good seedlings, and their achievements in pop music are not low.
Only S.M has its own specific style, so it insists on not picking people from this show.
However, in this time and space, the biggest entertainment company in South Korea is not S.M, nor JYP and YG, but his A.P.
So SBS TV wants to make this show a sensation from the beginning. Then A.P Company is a hurdle that cannot be avoided in any case.
Otherwise, without the participation of A.P., the outside world would definitely make a big fuss.
Without the approval of A.P Company, your broken show can be called the most powerful music talent show in Korea? Spit on your face.
But after thinking about it, Cui Zhengyuan felt very funny.
This SBS TV station really dared to think that he would be a judge.
Looking at the three judges confirmed so far, S.M is BOA, while JYP and YG are presidents Park Jin-young and Yang Hyun-suk, respectively.
The reason why Lee so-man, the chairman of S.M., did not get involved was because he had been away from the music industry for too long.
Now Li Xiuman, when people mention it, they think of him as the leader of a large entertainment company. And his history as a singer. It has long been forgotten and clean.
Another reason is that Lee so-man looks down on Park Jin-young and Yang Hyun-suk, so he is reluctant to sit with them.
But the question is, Li Xiuman is unwilling to participate, is he Cui Zhengyuan willing to participate?
Not to mention how busy he is, he simply doesn't have time to do such a boring thing. is his status, and if he is a judge, he is completely condescending.
SBS How can he be called to be a little judge? Not to mention sitting with Park Jin-young and Yang Hyun-suk.
Don't look at the usual time of cooperation, he can call Park Jin-young and Yang Hyun-seok brothers. But it's like this kind of occasion to establish a position. He's keeping a lot of distance from the others.
Besides, A.P has a lot of talent within the company. There are more than 20 trainees just waiting for their debut, and where do they need to search for talents from outside.
Even if the singer who won the show Guò has become popular. But A.P doesn't have the need to run this kind of person anymore.
Because of such a singer, the image of the show in the minds of the audience has been stereotyped. Entertainment companies can only operate according to a fixed model.
Not to mention the question of whether it is smooth or not, it takes a lot of time just to get used to this image and style.
Rather than so. It's better to use the trainees that the company has cultivated since childhood.
So after thinking about it, Cui Zhengyuan was not polite at all. "I'm sorry, I've been busy lately. I'm going to go to the United States to make a movie soon, and I really can't spare time. I can only thank you for your kindness, and I apologize to your president on my behalf. ”
Cui Zhengyuan didn't even mention the head office and the director, and he was directly the president. It's a pity that with the status of these two people in front of you, can you meet the president casually?
Hearing Cui Zhengyuan's refusal, Liang Chengwan was really anxious.
The main focus of this show is the gimmick of major companies signing contracts, and if A.P does not participate, then the influence and effect will definitely be greatly reduced.
In that case, where is there still a need to create a show.
"Executive Billy Choi, your company has always encouraged the development of K-pop. I believe that our program can also play a good role in promoting it, and I would like to ask Executive Cui for more advice. ”
I have to admit that what he said does have a point.
If A.P doesn't get involved, it will inevitably discourage many people who like pop music. Speaking of which, it is not a good thing for the company's image.
But Cui Zhengyuan has a firm position and will definitely not participate. "Well, I'm not available. However, there are still many singers in our company who can be represented, so it is better to let Kim Jong Kook go. ”
Liang Chengwan and Shen Jingxi glanced at each other, and could only agree.
If Choi Jung-won doesn't come, the most influential singer of A.P Company will definitely be Kim Jong Kook.
After all, he is the only four-time champion in the history of K-pop music, and this title alone is no worse than the BOA of S.M. Company.
In this way, the seats of the four judges are finally together. (To be continued......)
