Chapter 566: Preparing for "The Seven Princesses"
KBS TV roughly means that if the ratings of Menjie's TV series are not high, they will not pay Menjie even a penny, but if the ratings are high enough, they are willing to pay Menjie enough money.
This contract requires that Menjie does not have even the slightest opinion, but some other details are what Menjie is more concerned about.
For example, a series of things such as how many people can appear in this TV series, the number of episodes of the TV series, the broadcast time, etc., have not yet been determined, and Wan Tongtong still needs to find someone to make a budget.
After all, Menjie has just gotten the contract from KBS TV, and Wan Tongtong's side is not fully ready, there is still a period of time before the TV series starts, and many things have not been completed, and the two sides need to continue to discuss.
Therefore, Menjie found a reason to delay the date of signing the contract a little.
"Yes, the general concept given by KBS TV is 'no money for low ratings', other than that, everything is negotiable, and after a while, your company will give you an idea, and everyone will discuss it!"
Nodding, Jin Junzhe also knew that this matter could not be completely solved so simply, and after making an appointment with Menjie, he chatted a few words and ended today's 'date'.
"Brother Junzhe, I'm going back to Huaxia tomorrow, I'll make an appointment with you when I come over next time!"
After the last moment, Menjie stood up and said with a chuckle at Kim Jun-chul.
"Leaving in two days?"
glanced at Menjie quite curiously, thinking that Menjie would promote his new song again and gather some popularity, but he didn't expect that after getting Kim Junzhe's contract, Menjie was not ready to stay in South Korea. Prepare to return to China.
However, after thinking about it, since Menjie is not ready to develop in South Korea, it seems more reasonable to leave as soon as possible.
"If you are leaving tomorrow, my brother will invite you to dinner tonight, which can be regarded as a send-off!"
After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that he didn't have any important banquet in the evening, so Kim Jun-chul was ready to invite Menjie to dinner and see Menjie off.
"Forget it!"
Shaking his head slightly, Menjie said softly, "I found Kim Hee-sun, Chae Yan, and Kim Jong Kook tonight. And am I in S? A few trainees known to Company M, if Brother Junzhe goes, it's a bit inappropriate! ”
"That's right!"
Nodding slightly, seeing that Menjie was indeed thinking about himself, Jin Junzhe stopped talking nonsense. patted Menjie on the shoulder and said, "Then my brother won't send you this time." Wait until next time. Brother invites you to dinner! ”
"Okay, then I'll make a note of Brother Junzhe's meal!"
Ha Lu laughed, and Menjie agreed.
After a while, after saying goodbye to Kim Jun-cheol Menjie, Menjie rushed towards a large hotel.
I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll come back to Korea next time. Naturally, I wanted to get together with my many friends in Korea.
…………
"Boss, the recruitment of staff is over!"
In South Korea, in the hotel where Menjie lived, Li Siheng handed Menjie a stack of A4 papers. Said to Menjie quite respectfully.
Some time ago, although it was under the order of Menjie, Li Siheng collected a lot of scripts for Menjie and asked Menjie to screen them, but in Li Siheng's heart, he actually did not trust Menjie very much, and did not believe that Menjie could negotiate with the three major TV stations in South Korea and successfully let the TV series invested and filmed by Menjie be broadcast in South Korea, after all, for the three major Korean TV stations, this is an unprecedented thing, and it is simply impossible.
Then, although Menjie and Jin Junzhe had a 'gamble', Li Siheng did not think that Menjie would be able to gain 150,000 popularity in a period of time and increase the number of his fan club to 300,000.
Because Li Siheng knows that in South Korea, where the entertainment industry is extremely developed, how many people want to be famous and become stars!
Even if he has some popularity in China, it is really difficult to get ahead in South Korea, so in Li Siheng's heart, he is actually not optimistic about the bet between Menjie and Jin Junzhe.
But......
In a short period of less than a month, Menjie used his ability to successfully win Kim Jun-chul's contract, and finally succeeded in reaching an agreement with Kim Jun-chul and KBS TV!
Li Siheng, who has been in South Korea for a period of time, knows very well how great the difficulty is, and also knows very well how great the success of Menjie is, and admires Menjie very much, which can be clearly seen in his attitude towards Menjie's dialogue.
Naturally, when fulfilling the orders given by Menjie, he was also more dedicated.
used to do things for Menjie, Li Siheng only regarded it as a 'task', but now, Li Siheng admires Menjie in his heart, and he is really willing and likes to do things for Menjie from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, Li Siheng already had an idea in his heart.
If, in the next plan, Menjie can be as lucky as before, and hand over a satisfactory answer to KBS TV, Menjie's company will have more and more business between China and South Korea, and even become the most dazzling existence in the TV drama circles of the two countries.
If everything can be done well, Li Siheng believes that working under Menjie is definitely very promising.
Therefore, after Menjie finished the work, no matter how difficult the work was, Li Siheng would work very hard to complete it.
Just like some time ago, Wan Tongtong arranged the work in Huaxia, and in less than half a month, Li Siheng has completed it all, giving Menjie a satisfactory answer!
"I'll see!"
nodded, took the stack of materials handed over by Li Siheng, Menjie's face couldn't help but show a touch of joy, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, Li Siheng really has a certain ability to work, at least in terms of the work ordered by Menjie and Wan Tongtong, he has done a very good job!
Before they really got Kim Jun-chul's contract, Menjie and Wan Tongtong had already begun planning the filming of the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses".
Although the actors have not officially started the selection, they have already formed a team.
At the beginning, according to Wan Tongtong's idea, it was to use Huaxia, and the employees of the film and television company that Menjie would take over soon after, this "The Rumored Seven Princesses" can also be regarded as the company's first task, which can not only exercise the ability of the company's employees, but also play a role in saving money.
However, this idea was rejected by Menjie.
Most of the actors in the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" are Korean stars, and there are only a few Chinese stars.
In line with the policy of 'saving time and effort', Menjie still thinks that it is better to place the filming location of the TV series in South Korea, and it is enough to equip each of the several Chinese actors with a translator, and there is no need to put the filming location in China.
If it is placed in Huaxia, I am afraid that all Korean actors will be equipped with a translator, and the filming work will be very cumbersome.
As long as the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" can be popular according to Menjie's plan, then Menjie's company will produce more TV series co-filmed by Chinese actors and Korean actors in the future, and it will be more smooth in the future.
After all, Menjie is only ready to sign Chinese stars and enter the Korean film and television industry, but is not ready to sign Korean stars, and in turn let them enter the Chinese entertainment industry, which can be regarded as a kind of cultural aggression, so they naturally have to choose a way that is beneficial to themselves.
In the end, although Menjie did not tell Wan Tongtong about his plans, Wan Tongtong was finally persuaded by Menjie's resolute attitude and decided to let the entire TV series be filmed in South Korea.
Naturally, in order to allow the entire crew to complete the filming work as quickly as possible, all the staff of the crew, including the director, naturally chose Koreans.
In this regard, neither Menjie nor Wan Tongtong had any way, so this task could only fall on Li Siheng in the end.
After all, Menjie is going to invest in filming a TV series, which is not very reliable in the hearts of most Koreans, and most of the staff don't believe that Menjie, a Chinese person, can shoot a Korean drama, but it is more difficult to recruit people, Menjie thinks that it will take one or two months to complete the recruitment of staff, but Menjie didn't expect it......
Li Siheng completed a full set of work in just over half a month and less than a month!
opened the list of staff handed over to him by Li Siheng, and the first person who caught his eye was a name named Fei Jingzhu, and the position was naturally the most important core figure of the film - director!
The name Fei Jingzhu is not very famous in the Korean entertainment industry, and even after Li Siheng's investigation, it was found that he is just a person with a slightly higher status than ordinary employees in KBS TV, and he has been an assistant director in two TV series with low ratings at best, not to mention fame, even if he is a real director, Li Siheng can't understand why Menjie would choose him very resolutely to be the director of the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses"!
However, Li Siheng also understands that with Menjie's status in South Korea, he is not qualified to recruit big-name directors to shoot TV series, and it just so happened that Menjie chose Fei Jingzhu, an assistant director who is not very famous, and also wanted to save trouble and invited Fei Jingzhu over.
And KBS TV may also feel that Fei Jingzhu, the assistant director, does not have much ability and achievements, and almost has no objections, so directly, without letting Menjie pay any price, released Fei Jingzhu and became the director of the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" invested and filmed by Menjie.
