Chapter 188
It took two days to finish other things at hand.
Take a taxi and go.

……

"Hey, good afternoon, Director Lee Eung-bok and screenwriter Kim Eun-sook." Zhu Ziren greeted politely, "Especially Director Lee Eung-bok, is this the first time we have officially met?"

"Hahaha, the last reception can't be counted. Today is indeed the first official meeting." Li Yingfu laughed and stretched out his hand, "But I have always kept the name of you, the producer, in my heart."

"Oh?" Zhu Ziren stretched out his hand and shook it, "Is it because I picked you to be the director?"

Director Li Yingfu nodded: "Yeah, I have to remember the benefactor who can directly name me as the director after seeing my shabby resume, otherwise it's no different from a beast."

"Okay, let's not talk about the redundant words, let's talk about the main topic." Zhu Ziren didn't bother to talk, and directly opened the question, "Why did you call me here? If you don't solve the problem first, I will I'm not in the mood to visit."

Li Yingfu and Jin Eunshu looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"It's like this." Kim Eun-sook picked up the teacup and took a bitter sip of water, "The film crew is running out of funds. According to the current situation, we can only support it for another month."

"Uh, did I hear wrong?" Zhu Ziren's eyes widened, and he even scratched his ears unconsciously, "Say it again, I didn't seem to hear clearly just now."

"You heard me right." Kim Eun-sook repeated with a bitter face, "The film crew really doesn't have enough funds, and it will be a problem to finish the filming at this rate of consumption, so we want to ask you for your opinion. "

"What can I have an opinion on?" Zhu Ziren just felt ridiculous, "So why is there not enough funds? MBC TV station doesn't give money? Can a big TV station not give money?"

"They really don't give money anymore." Li Yingfu couldn't help answering, ""Ghosts" burns money in all aspects, so it has been spending money like water."

"But a few days ago, people from MBC TV station were unwilling to give money after seeing the results we provided. Maybe they thought we were not good enough." Li Yingfu added.

"Ah, so that's the case." Zhu Ziren nodded, "So what are you going to do?"

After contacting the cause and effect relationship, Zhu Ziren immediately knew why MBC was unwilling to give any more money.

Because MBC is now unwilling to let the funds flow out, after all, there are not enough people inside who are fighting for power and profit.

Apart from this reason, no one should be able to reject "Goblin". It is all nonsense to say that the quality is not good and the power supply is suddenly cut off.

It is normal for these two people not to know about this matter. People who know the situation of MBC are either Zhu Ziren with special abilities, or old MBC employees like Kim Tae-ho. Occasional collaborators like them will naturally not understand inside story.

Anyway, at least in the eyes of outsiders, there is nothing wrong with MBC.

Li Yingfu took a careful look at Zhu Ziren, and said, "I personally want to reduce the production cost. As long as it is controlled properly, it will be no problem to produce "Ghost" normally."

"What about your opinion?" Zhu Ziren looked at Jin Enshu, "Looking at your performance just now, you should think differently, right?"

"That's right." Kim Eun-sook nodded, "I'm planning to get some more sponsorship. "Goblin" is a script I created and I understand it. Once the cost is reduced, the TV series "Goblin" will become unattractive, so I Never agree to lower production costs."

"But now that half of the content is filmed, where can we find sponsors?" Li Yingfu couldn't help retorting, "Which sponsor is willing to invest money in a TV series that is half filmed?"

"And "Goblin" is embarrassing now," Zhu Ziren also added, "In the eyes of investors, "Goblin" is a work that MBC TV station is unwilling to invest in."

"yes."

All three were silent for a moment.

"There is one thing I want to ask." Zhu Ziren said suddenly, "If MBC doesn't want to continue investing, what do they say about broadcast rights?"

"They gave up." Jin Enshu said: "They converted the money for buying out the copyright and the funds already invested into "Goblin" as investment, which means that they are only one of the investors now, and there is no "Goblin" broadcast rights."

"So that's the case, then we can sell the broadcasting rights. It won't work." Zhu Ziren suddenly realized in the middle of speaking, ""Ghosts" is now regarded as a failed work that MBC TV station is unwilling to continue to invest in, and others are unwilling to buy and broadcast it. Right, even if you buy it, the price will be severely lowered."

Kim Eun-sook responded, "That's right, we tried to contact other TV stations before you came, and the situation is not optimistic."

"What about TVN, have you contacted them too?" Zhu Ziren asked: "TVN TV station is just in need of development, they don't have the position to pick and choose right now?"

"Not there yet." Kim Eun-sook shook his head, "I don't want to give it to TVN myself. If I give it to them, it's better to let "Goblin" not be broadcast. TVN may be a strong TV station in the future, but it's too bad right now. , so far no drama has achieved good results on TVN."

"Tsk." Zhu Ziren smacked his lips, "Nevertheless, you have to ask what you should ask. This is the only choice. Besides, you don't even know if others like you or not."

After speaking, Zhu Ziren let out a long sigh.

Is "Ghost" coming back to TVN again?Is it really God's will in the dark?
No, I'm upset, I want to add some variables to it!
"Leave the matter of finding a TV station to me first, and you guys start shooting normally." Zhu Ziren looked at the silent two people and made a major declaration, "I will handle the financial matter, and I will use my own name to deal with the gap. added."

"Really?" Jin Enshu was taken aback, "That's not a small amount!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it myself, you just need to shoot." Zhu Ziren said with a wry smile: "However, you have to be mentally prepared for the TV station that will broadcast it. I guess it will be either SBS or TVN. I'll have to lobby hard."

"Then we can only work hard for our supervisor." Kim Eun-sook was the first to express his opinion.

"You don't dislike TVN anymore?" Zhu Ziren couldn't help teasing the woman's sudden change of attitude.

"If it was you, you should be able to negotiate a good price with TVN. I can bear it for the sake of money." Kim Eun-sook smiled, and then said: "But if it can be broadcast on SBS TV The best is SBS, although the result of our contact is not good, but as the top variety show producer of SBS TV station, you should be able to get good results, right?"

"It's okay to say so in a while, now." Zhu Ziren smiled and waved his hand, "I'm spending SBS money now, and my grades are not worth the waste for the time being, so my face may not be useful."

"Then let's talk about it when we have results. We still need a few months to film. By then, your large-scale project should be completed. Are you confident that SBS TV will give you a high opinion?" Kim Eun-sook joked.

"Let's talk about it at that time. The success or failure is up to the audience, and I can only do my best." Zhu Ziren didn't want to talk about this, so he stood up from his seat, "Just do whatever you want , I’m going to say hello to the actors.”
