Chapter 1699 - Dividing the Cake and the Rules

Originally, Choi Jung-won didn't think about producing a zuò variety show for JTBC so early.

In his thoughts, he felt that JTBC, as a newly born comprehensive channel, should run smoothly for at least two years before it was a good time to launch a popular program.

But there is no way, the timing always appears inadvertently. If you don't catch it, then you may not be able to create such a considerable profit in the future.

This time, Choi Jung-won decided to produce two variety shows for JTBC, namely "Non-Summit" and "Please Refrigerator".

These two programs are the signboards of JTBC in the future, and they are also the popular kings in the comprehensive editing channel.

Another reason why he made these two shows out in advance is that the main MCs and guests in them are basically artists from A.P Company.

For example, among the foreigners in "Non-Summit Talks", Zhang Yu'an, Julian, Robin, Samuel, and Guillaume are now all under the umbrella of A.P.

In addition, Liu Shiyun, one of the MCs, also expired his contract with the original brokerage company last year. At that time, he communicated with Jiang Hudong and conveyed his desire to join A.P. Company.

Choi Jung-won admired his talent, so he happily became a member of A.P.

It is worth mentioning that other members of the original "Non-summit Talks" can also be found, so it is still very easy to recreate this classic show.

However, there are also some things to worry about, and Cui Zhengyuan needs to remind and deal with them in a timely manner.

One of them is the sensitivity and pertinence of the topic, which must be distinguished from the original program.

In Cui Zhengyuan's impression, the original version of the show was aimed at China, and he talked about it many times. So with the opportunity to start over, of course, these criticisms must be removed.

We don't want to blindly say good things about China, but we can't talk nonsense in a targeted way.

In addition, there are also Chinese map tampering incidents, all of which require the program team to be careful. After all, politics is sometimes very sensitive.

You must know that this show is going to be broadcast on TCC. In other words, Chinese viewers can watch it directly online.

It's not like in the previous life, only some people who like to watch Korean variety shows know about this show, so its influence and scope are very limited.

I believe that even JTBC will be extra careful and will not get along with the owner.

"Please Refrigerator" is also a popular food show launched by JTBC in its previous life, which is very popular with the audience.

At the same time, this show is also a sign that Zheng Hengdun has officially stepped into the ranks of first-line MCs, representing a new level in his career.

You must know that the so-called "MC Four Heavenly Kings" title is not just a joke, under word of mouth, it will become a dazzling honor sooner or later.

Just like the original name of "National MC", it is not an official title given by anyone.

In the beginning. "National MC" is not just Yoo Jae-seok and Kang Ho-dong, even Kim Ji-dong and Shin Dong-yeol occasionally join in the fun.

But after the concept of "national MC" appeared, with the development and change of each MC's career, only Jiang and Liu were finally determined.

Later, Koreans themselves talked about the Four Heavenly Kings, and some opinions also included Liu Zaishi and Jiang Hudong. But in Choi Jeong-won's eyes, this statement is completely incorrect.

If you want to divide the MC of South Korea into grades and strata, then it should be a leader, two people, three powerful factions and four heavenly kings.

A leader, there is only one with such a status. That's Lee Kyung-kyu.

In the twentieth century, South Korea's entertainment scene was dominated by third-generation comedy stars such as Kim Yong-man, Yoo Jae-seok, Shin Dong-yeol, Kang Ho-dong and Park so-hong.

While the second generation of comedians gradually withdrew from the stage of history, Li Jingkui remained active until the first decade of the 21st century, which shows his influence.

Needless to say, the two nationals need to say more. It's Jiang Hudong and Liu Zaishi.

The three powerful factions are Kim Yongwan, Shin Dongye and Kim Jidong.

They are basically at the same time as the two national MCs, although they are very well-known, and their hosting skills are also very good. But it's always for one reason or another.,It's never reached the height of the national MC.。

During this period, there were still many excellent MCs. Not even the three of them. For example, Lee Hye Jae, Nancy Seok, Park so-hong, Ji Seok-jin, Park Myung-so and so on.

This period can be called the heyday of Korean performing arts, and it is also the most glorious period of performing arts.

After the three powerful factions, it is the time for the rise of the four heavenly kings, who have played a role in connecting the previous and the next. The four MCs are: Jung Hyung-don, Kim Jong-kook, Yoo Se-yoon, and Jun Hyun-moo.

Although Kim Jong Kook is not included in the South Korean view, Choi Jung-won clearly does not think so.

Although compared with the other three, Kim Jong Kook's hosting can only be regarded as decent, with no bright spots. But you know, among the four MCs, he is the only MC who can be active in both China and South Korea, and he is very popular in both regions.

Zheng Hengdun is a person with a different kind of charm, obviously he looks very ordinary, and even useless. But if you take a closer look at his performances, you'll find that you'll always fall for his charm before you know it.

He can unscrupulously accuse Kwon Zhi-ryong of fashion, or he can speak ill of popular idols, and even play tricks on the show.

If someone else had done so, they would have been scolded all over the world. But when he did it, he only got unanimous praise.

This is the ability, which makes him very popular with the guests, and also makes the show he hosts very interesting.

So in order to push Zheng Hyung-dun to the throne faster, it is necessary for Choi Jung-won to put a burden on him.

JTBC won Monday, because another relatively good time slot, Friday, was occupied by TVN, which undertook the production and broadcast of TCC's channels.

is obviously the biggest contributor to the opening of the TCC channel, but Liang Zhenwu is much wiser.

He knew that if he rashly competed with terrestrial broadcasters for prime time on weekends with a comprehensive channel like TVN, he would definitely return home, and even lead to the miscarriage of the TCC plan.

But if you avoid the weekend and choose Friday, the four major TV stations will definitely support it in order to thank TVN for its concession.

In this way, it is logical that TVN occupies the Friday slot.

However, his own TV station does not need Cui Zhengyuan to worry about it for the time being. Soon, the drama "Please Answer 1997" and the follow-up "Please Answer 1994" are enough for TVN to make a name for themselves.

TV Joseon took the initiative to cede the field of entertainment programs, so the other broadcasters politely gave them the time slot of the moon fire drama.

Anyway, the Moon Fire Drama is not the most competitive time for Korean dramas, so leaving it to TV stations like TV Chosun is a happy result, and it can also reflect the new style of unity in the Korean media industry.

But the next Mizuki drama will not work, and the broadcasters almost broke their heads.

Because the broadcast time of Mizuki drama is a drama that airs on Wednesday and Thursday, and during this time period, the whole world is the same, and it is the hardest time of the week for ordinary families.

At this time, people who are tired from work simply don't have the strength and heart to go out and play. Basically, it's after hours. I rushed home early, had dinner and watched TV, and then went to bed.

Therefore, in the history of Korean film and television dramas, almost all TV dramas with high ratings and great influence are dominated by water and wood dramas.

Among this year's Mizuki dramas, there are well-known TV dramas such as "The King of the House Tower", "To the Beautiful You", "The Moon Embracing the Sun", "The Man of the Equator", "The Kind Man", "The Man of Queen Inhyun", "Tian Yuzhi" and other well-known TV series.

It can be said that on the most heavyweight broadcast platform of Shuimu Drama, various broadcasting agencies are not giving an inch, and they are very happy.

Even Cui Zhengyuan himself was greedy for Shuimu drama, but he didn't dare to occupy it. Otherwise. Because of the uneven distribution of benefits, the cooperation situation that has been formed with great difficulty will definitely break down immediately.

It took half a month of consultation between the broadcasters to come up with a final feasible solution.

The first is to increase the broadcast time of Shuimu dramas, and broadcast the traditional Shuimu dramas with one episode a day and two consecutive days. It was changed to two episodes a day for two consecutive days.

If it were the same TV series, it wouldn't be broadcast in a single day. It's still the same as in South Korea, and it's broadcast in a one-episode-a-day mode.

The purpose of this is to avoid the asynchronous broadcast time of China and South Korea, and the source of the film will be leaked prematurely.

The reason why it became two days and two episodes. That's to separate the terrestrial broadcast from the editor-in-chief's broadcast.

The broadcast time of the variety broadcast was put at 6 o'clock in the afternoon on Wednesday and Thursday, which was the broadcast time of the original variety show.

And the water and wood drama broadcast on the ground is broadcast at eight o'clock in the evening normally, that is. The real prime time of water and wood dramas is still broadcast on the ground.

This is something that can't be helped, after all, whether it is strength or influence, terrestrial broadcasting is not comparable to the comprehensive editing channel.

Even so, there are still four TV stations competing for a time slot for Mizuki dramas to be broadcast at the same time. So which TV series to choose to broadcast has become a big problem.

Originally, according to the results of the discussions between the various TV stations, the rotation system was initially chosen. For example, the first TV series was provided by SBS TV, and then MBC TV was next. After that, KBS and HBC are played in turn, and then they are reincarnated.

However, in the end, this approach was rejected because of the huge loopholes in it.

Everyone is afraid that the previous TV station will covet the position and extend the number of episodes of the TV series indefinitely.

For example, a TV series that was originally expected to be 30 episodes has been extended to 38 episodes, which is equivalent to encroaching on the broadcast time of the episodes of the later TV stations.

In order to avoid this kind of bad competition, Cui Zhengyuan simply came up with the most ruthless move, that is, the competitive bidding system.

The TV series broadcast by each TV station during the Mizuki drama period is a bidding price, and there is only one factor that determines the level of this price code, and that is the ratings of the same period.

For example, in the Mizuki drama that is broadcast at the same time, MBC's works have higher ratings than the other three, so the right to broadcast on the TCC channel belongs to MBC.

If MBC TV has won three TV dramas in a row, then I'm sorry, but the three consecutive broadcasts are all at the same time.

Who called you inferior in skills, and you can't win in the ratings.

At the same time, in order to avoid the situation of maliciously occupying the position and not letting go, all the broadcasters and film and television production companies have reached an agreement.

That is the TV series that will be broadcast during the Mizuki drama period, and the total number of episodes is the death requirement of twenty episodes. Neither more nor less.

In this way, no matter which TV station gets the opportunity to broadcast it, the next opportunity will come after twenty episodes.

This is also the fairest way that can be come up with after taking into account all the conditions.

In the same way, TV dramas and variety shows broadcast in other time periods have similar rules for varying durations.

This time, the process of dividing the cake and drawing the rules in the Korean media circles was unprecedentedly fierce and efficient. To use Choi Jung-won's joke, it does not reflect the advantages of democracy at all. (To be continued......)
