Rebirth of the Director in Korea

There are many film production companies on Chungmuru Road in South Korea, but not many TV drama production companies. This can be regarded as a weird phenomenon in South Korea TV drama circles.

Why does this happen? The most important thing is related to the broadcasting platform in South Korea. In South Korea, there are only three platforms for the production and broadcasting of TV series: MBC, KBS, and SBS. The production crew of the three major TV Stations, from Screenwriter to director to photography, radio, etc., have a full range of production crews. They invest and benefit themselves, regardless of whether it is a high or low rating, or at your own risk.

Because the choice of broadcasting platform is small, the production company has to intervene in this delicious cake. The first thing to face is the anger from MBC, KBS and SBSTV Station, because they will not sit back and watch whether it belongs to themselves. The cake was moved by other people. Therefore, the production and broadcasting of TV series until now are in the hands of the three major TV Stations. There has never been a production company that can intervene in TV series production. Obviously they will not do thankless things.

Furthermore, the relevant excellent talents in the TV drama industry are almost all drawn up by the three major TV stations. If you want to produce a sophisticated TV series with a higher ratings, it is absolutely impossible to produce a sophisticated TV series without a mature and outstanding team. Yes, this reason has led to the scarcity of related co-produced TV series.

However, there are many co-productions similar to entertainment companies and TV Station. In order to launch their own newcomers, many entertainment companies choose to cooperate with TV Station to shoot exclusive TV series, so that they can launch their own The new artists under its banner can get a certain amount of income through ratings and advertising sponsorship, and they happen to meet a rich local tyrant and sell the overseas copyrights of their TV series. It can be said that it serves multiple purposes.

Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae’s words in front of him, Kim Jae-yeol couldn’t help but stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth slightly and looked quite surprised at Jung Hyuk-jae. Kim Jae-yeol was a little surprised. I know that he should say that his eyes are expert low, or aiming too high.

“Do you want to cooperate with MBC?” Kim Jae-yeol asked aloud.

Jung Hyuk-jae nodded, said sincerely: “Yes, cooperation!”

Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae’s affirmative reply, Kim Jae-yeol suddenly laughed. Looking at him with a hint of smile, he asked aloud: “How do you plan to cooperate?”

“Co-produced TV series, script director, I can play, half of the cost of TV series shooting!”

Kim Jae-yeol wanted to see what Jung Hyuk-jae would say next. He stretched out his hand and gestured for him to continue, while the knuckles knocked on the table gently, not knowing what he was thinking about what.

“Telled you, so what did our TV Station produce?”

“Manpower, material resources, and post-propaganda, plus half of the shooting cost.”

After listening to Jung Hyuk-jae’s words, Kim Jae-yeol smiled and laughed more happily, “There are so many conditions, and with this time and effort, we are not equal to me. We shoot and broadcast by ourselves.”

“The natural benefits of shooting and broadcasting by myself are greater, but the risks that need to be taken are also more, and the income is not proportional to the investment. It seems that I know that MBC last year had many TV series with the highest ratings of over 30%, but In terms of domestic profitability, the TV series with low ratings and high investment are still being held back, right?” Jung Hyuk-jae calmly stated what he had learned.

“Just these you still can’t convince me!” Kim Jae-yeol hesitated for a moment or shook the head.

Jung Hyuk-jae’s remarks revealed the reality of MBC’s full-year production of TV dramas last year. When it comes to domestic profits, if it’s not that these high ratings of TV dramas have raised the overall level, MBCTV Station only wants to recoup costs by relying on revenue from advertising sponsorships, which is almost an impossible task.

The prospect of TV series ratings is unpredictable, because viewers have different aesthetic levels and concerns at different time periods, plus the impact of the other two TV Station TV series. I want my TV series to be watched. Take the lead in terms of rate. If you don’t work hard to study the market, the two words are’difficult’!

Even directors who have been immersed in the TV industry for many years dare not say accurately that they have grasped the laws of the market, but Jung Hyuk-jae can!

Looking at Kim Jae-yeol who was still unmoved in front of him, Jung Hyuk-jae knew that the chips he gave were not enough, at least for now, it was not enough to meet Kim Jae-yeol’s minimum requirements.

“How is the ratings betting?”

“What?” Kim Jae-yeol did not catch what Jung Hyuk-jae said.

“Agreement on ratings to bet.”

Jung Hyuk-jae repeated it again, this time Kim Jae-yeol finally got it clear, but the doubts in my heart still couldn’t help but pop up. Come, look at the confident Jung Hyuk-jae in front of him, but Kim Jae-yeol really can’t figure out where his confidence comes from. A young man who is just twenty-five years old. Many youngsters are not just at this time. Soon after stepping out of the school gate, are you still hitting walls in society?

“All domestic revenues from co-produced TV series are shared equally, and overseas copyrights are distributed according to the highest ratings. If the ratings are less than 20%, I won’t want a single point for overseas copyright revenue, reaching 20%. Overseas revenue 2.5:7.5; more than 25%, 3.5: 6.5; the highest ratings are more than 30%, overseas copyright revenue is 4.5:5.5……”

Jung Hyuk-jae seems to be prepared, The gambling agreement was listed one by one, and Kim Jae-yeol also listened carefully.

No one has ever dared to boast such Haikou before. According to Jung Hyuk-jae, if the viewership rate is less than 20% of the overseas copyright income, the biggest beneficiary is actually MBCTV Station, TV Station is full of money, but Jung Hyuk-jae is making money at a loss.

When Jung Hyuk-jae said this, Kim Jae-yeol seemed to have thought of something.

“The highest ratings broke 35%, and the income from overseas copyrights was evenly divided; the highest ratings broke 40%, and the overseas copyrights were 5.5:4.5; the highest ratings broke 45%, and the overseas copyright revenues were 6:4, the highest ratings. The rate is over 50%, and the overseas copyright income is 6.5:3.5…”

Kim Jae-yeol did not say anything, Jung Hyuk-jae is still talking, but the more you listen to Kim Jae-yeol, the more I don’t think it’s right. How come the ratings are 40% and 50%. If you know that the ratings are over 50%, it can really be regarded as a national TV series. In the TV drama production bureau for so many years, Kim Jae-yeol has only handled one. A TV series like this.

“Okay, alright!” Kim Jae-yeol waved his hand, “Although I don’t know where your confidence comes from, but if you can say something to convince me, I can consider your cooperation!”

Kim Jae-yeol let go, but Jung Hyuk-jae smiled and pointed out the window, “The PDs outside are still on strike, I know MBC has recently I’m all arguing with them, but I haven’t been able to talk about it. Dozens of PDs, if you continue to do this, MBC will definitely not be able to stand it…”

Jung Hyuk-jae did not finish what he said. , I believe that Kim Jae-yeol on the opposite side already understood what he wanted to say. In cooperation with itself, MBC is setting up a target, or “example” for those PDs who are on strike. Since MBC can spend several years or even more than ten years training them, it will naturally be able to do so in the shortest time. Train new people PD to replace their position.

There are not many carrot pits in TV Station. One is counted, and compared to the MBC who has lived and worked for more than ten years, the other two TV Stations do not give them much sense of security. In the end, their confidence in the strike was that MBC did not dare to dismiss them, or that they did not have the courage to expel them, because all of them belonged to the backbone of MBC TV drama production, but when Jung Hyuk-jae was established as a “example”, the situation immediately returned. Take a sharp turn.

The young PDs in the station will follow the example of Jung Hyuk-jae, and the training of the younger generation will be increased in the station. The situation of when the time comes is really not easy to say.

After listening to Jung Hyuk-jae’s words, Kim Jae-yeol was silent. He stared at the painting on the wall for a long time, and seemed to forget that there is Jung Hyuk-jae in the room. The existence of the number…

………………….. ……….

“Ga-in, what do you mean by Chief Han what he said? Ah! At that time, it was a good TV series, so if you don’t want to film it If you don’t shoot anymore, who are you playing? The schedule vacated in advance, and now I say temporary changes, who believes it!” The fat female manager came out of the office and whispered foul-mouthed.

Coming out of the office of Deputy Director Han of MBCTV Station TV Drama Production Bureau, Han Ga-in lowered his head, a beautiful face was hidden under the sunglasses, and he couldn’t really understand the real expression on her face.

For her manager’s words, Han Ga-in didn’t refute, although she heard it in her heart, because she was holding a fire in her heart, but facing a huge monster like MBC, she was unspeakable trouble. Some time ago, the agency found out that MBCTV Station would be presenting a new Water-Wood Drama. After a preliminary role selection, Han Ga-in finally got the role of the female number one in this new drama.

Weight management to diet control, the schedule of events, the agency will postpone all the unimportant activities for her new drama in short, but today it’s not bad, but I didn’t say anything but said the new drama was cancelled. Up?

“Ga-in, MBC is verbally breaking the contract this time. If you sue it…” the fat manager suggested next to her.

“Sister Jin, forget it, let’s go back to the company!”

Listening to the manager’s suggestion, Han Ga-in immediately shook the head, unless she really wants to give up In the future, she will be filming TV series on MBCTV Station. Otherwise, as a new actress, she will only submit to humiliation when she faces MBC’s temporary breach of contract.

Han Ga-in thought this way, he lowered his head and just walked. The sudden appearance of a figure at the corner of the passage caught her off guard and hit her directly.

“Ouch!”

“Ga-in ~ah, are you okay?” The fat manager hurriedly stepped forward to help when he saw this scene.

“Han Ga-in -ssi, are you okay?”
