Korean Entertainment’s Future Insight

Chapter 61: Postponed decree

South Korea has been a subsidiary country of China since ancient times, but as a country that has always wanted to get rid of the influence of the suzerainty, South Korea has been making efforts to de-sinicize. The time for this effort has been incalculable, but it has an obvious beginning. He invented his own text-Korean.

In the 25th year of King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty, that is, in December 1443, the Korean language "Hunmin Jeongeum" was officially released, and it was widely published in the 28th year of Sejong, 1446. This can be regarded as the beginning of Korea's de-sinicization.

Since the Korean peninsula has a very long history of using Chinese characters, even after the invention of "Hunminjeongyin", Chinese characters are still in use, including the eyebrows of the court documents of the Joseon Dynasty and the records of historical books. Such efforts to de-sinicize are not thorough.

This situation continued until the middle of the 20th century. After World War II, the Korean peninsula split into North Korea and South Korea. In order to regulate the use of characters, both South Korea and South Korea reformed the use of characters after the establishment of their political power. The comprehensive abolition of the reform measures of Chinese characters is the result of the further strengthening of its awareness of de-sinicization, but the use of Chinese characters has not completely disappeared, leaving its government to waver between the abolition of the use of Chinese characters and the re-use of Chinese characters.

However, after the development of Korean nationalism, the government was also promoted. For example, since 1970, Korean people have banned Chinese characters in Korean middle and elementary schools, and all use phonetic characters, which is the basis of Korean, to express. In 1988, Seoul Before the Olympics, the South Korean government ordered the removal of all Chinese characters on the plaques to emphasize South Korea’s national culture. It was not until February 1999 that the then President Kim Dae-jung ordered the partial lifting of restrictions on the use of Chinese characters, but there are also fierce domestic restrictions. Opposition forces, they worry that such measures will lead to the proliferation of Chinese characters and the demise of Korean characters.

Recently, the so-called nationalist representatives of de-sinicization have also made further achievements. For example, nearly a month ago, on December 21, 2004, the South Korean government stipulated that the abuse of Chinese characters in the current 759 legal texts All the marking methods are replaced by Korean.

Recently, there have been a lot of specious rumors. Until January 15, 2005, a MBC variety show that did not attract widespread attention from the society-City Lights, became the city because of its vigorous promotion and introduction of Seoul, the capital of South Korea. It has become the focus of social attention, and it has become the focus of society not because of how well and how vivid this program is, but because in this program, its introduction to Seoul uses another name: Seoul .

Because there is no reason to take over the "Infinite Challenge" with considerable potential, "City Light" has always been controversial within MBC. As its person in charge, Jin Junxian also has a lot of pressure in his heart, but seeing this In the first episode of the program ratings report, the peak ratings reached 23.8, becoming the most well-deserved variety show on MBC. Like the rest of the program group, his face also showed a triumphant smile.

"I'm going to hand over this ratings report to Minister Yin. You all prepare it. I will treat you tonight and everyone will celebrate together.

"Yay!"

"Long live the writer Kim!"

With the farewell of the staff, Jin Junxian walked out of the office and rarely greeted the passing staff along the way, making the staff who did not know the truth think that this kid was sick.

When he came to Yin Hyebin’s office, Jin Junxian knocked on the door. Before Yin Hyebin responded, he pushed the door and walked in. He smiled and said, "Minister Yin, this is the ratings report of my show just released. You can take a look. It is a pity to say that Infinite Challenge has been suspended like this. Now everything proves that my city light is better than Infinite Challenge! I am also better than Luo Junning!"

Yin Huibin was watching some timely remarks on the computer. She was a little annoyed when the office door was pushed open. But when she saw the energetic Jin Junxian came in, she couldn't help showing a weird smile.

After receiving the ratings report, Yin Huibin was also taken aback by the 23.8% score, but the weirdness in the smile became more intense, "Good job, you...excellent."

"Haha, thank you Minister Yin for the compliment, then I will go down and do something first." Jin Junxian smiled triumphantly, turned and left, as if he was here to show off on purpose.

Yoon Hyebin was a little angry by Jin Junxian's actions, but when she shifted her gaze to the computer screen and saw the content on it, all she had left was sympathy for Jin Junxian.

After leaving Yoon Hyebin’s office, Kim Jun-hyun did not return to his program group. Instead, he went to a higher-level director’s office and found a director who was also waiting for his news: Kim Jung-hyuk, "Dad, look, this is The grade of my work."

Kim Jong Hyuk, an elegant middle-aged man with white sideburns, is completely different from Kim Jung Hyuk (yes, it is completely different). His appearance carries the aura of being at a high level for a long time. He hears his son’s joy. The voice said unhurriedly: "You are so proud, don't you find anything strange?"

"Strange place?" Jin Junxian thought for a while, and finally gave up and shook his head, looking at Jin Zhenghyuk, wanting to get an answer from his father.

Kim Jung Hyuk sighed secretly in his heart. He has spent considerable effort to train Kim Jun Hyun, but this son does not like politics or business, and is only interested in variety shows. He was originally prepared to wait for his son to become a talented student. I brought him into MBC to train slowly, but this kid didn't know where he heard the news of Luo Junning, a high school student and "Infinite Challenge", so he came back to look for him, and said he wanted to replace Luo Junning.

Although Kim Jung Hyuk is a director of MBC, he is not a blind man to MBC.

MBC is different from the other two major TV stations in South Korea. KBS is a 100% state-owned company, while SBS is a 100% private company. But MBC is different. MBC is a private company in the righteous state, but the actual majority shareholder is a broadcasting company established by the Korean government. The Culture Promotion Association used this to control the public opinion orientation of MBC. After the 1990s, the atmosphere of freedom in Korean society was soaring, and the Broadcast Culture Promotion Association also carried out reforms. Its nine directors were changed from the previous government appointments to the ruling party, The Blue House South Korean Presidential Palace and the opposition parties respectively recommended three people and finally appointed by the president, which made MBC the forefront of political struggle.

Kim Jong Hyuk was one of the three recommended by the Presidential Palace of the Blue House where the then President Roh Hyun Mo was located. He represented the interests of the South Korean President, but was also restricted by the other eight directors, which prevented him from receiving high-level attention on "Infinite Challenge". The show started clearly, and because the copyright of "Infinite Challenge" is not in the hands of MBC, coupled with the potential and abilities shown by "Infinite Challenge", he can't even find a reason to change to a major producer.

If it weren’t for Luo Junning’s refusal to cooperate with the government’s task of “de-sinicizing” and promoting “Seoul”, Kim Jung-hyuk could not find an excuse to stop broadcasting "Infinite Challenge", but that’s it, he was also under considerable pressure. It comes from Luo Junning, but from the opposition power parties behind Lee Junzhi and the Cui family-the three directors of the Grand National Party and the New World Party in MBC, and the suspension of the Infinite Challenge is just what the nine directors represent for each other. It is just an additional product of the game of group interests.

At this time, hearing his son’s confused question, Kim Jong Hyuk frowned and said, “Member of the Grand National Party and mayor of Seoul, Lee Myung-bak, he postponed the press conference originally planned to be held today until four days later. In other words, The official time for Seoul to change its name to Seoul is four days later, and today your program has exceeded the content. Don’t you pay attention to today’s current affairs news?"

"What? How could this happen?" Jin Junxian panicked. Although he doesn't like politics, there is a father like Jin Jong Hyuk who has some political sensitivity and knows what kind of influence the'exposure' in his show has.

"What is it?" Kim Jung Hyuk's eyes widened, and the anxious Kim Jun-hyun was calmed down immediately, but the anxiety between his brows couldn't be concealed. "I will take care of this. All you have to do is The next episode of the show is ready to be filmed, and the ratings are kept above 20."

Jin Junxian quickly agreed, and after knowing that his father had a way to deal with it, he let go of his heart. When it comes to making a show, he is confident, "I know, Dad, then I will prepare for the show first. I know Dad, you must be fine. "

Seeing Kim Joon Hyun who was leaving in turmoil, Kim Jung Hyuk shook his head helplessly, closed his eyes and meditated. The worried look between his brows indicated that he was not as powerful as Jin Junxian had imagined.
