Rebirth of the Director in Korea

“So no one is optimistic about this work?” Sitting in front of Variety Bureau Chief Choi, Jung Hyuk-jae drank tea lightly said with a smile.

“Are you embarrassed to laugh?” Choi Ji-hye now feels that his head is about to explode, and finally decided to shoot “Reverse Theatre”. The director was hospitalized before it started? What are you talking about?

Jung Hyuk-jae watched the Bureau Chief Choi beside him leisurely and became anxious. He didn’t panic at all. He watched and took a few sips from time to time.

“Yeah! You don’t want to think about what to do next?!”

“Bureau Chief Choi, look! Now no one from the TV drama production department is willing to send over Instead, everyone is ready to watch our jokes!” At this point, Jung Hyuk-jae’s words were paused, “Bureau Chief Choi, what do you think of our skits?”

“Yes!”

“What about the predicted ratings?” Jung Hyuk-jae then asked.

“Although it may not be as good as “X-man”, because “X-man” was broadcast immediately, the popularity of “X-man” is definitely not low!” Choi Ji- hye thought for a while and nodded.

“Then since the script is good and the ratings are not low, why should I give them this piece of fat?”

‘As long as there are people where they can stay, they are the rivers and lakes’, There is nothing wrong with this sentence. Even for the SBSTV Station that looks like an iron bucket, there are competitions and conflicts of interest among various departments.

In fact, since TV was invented, TV Station has developed its own set of profit models after a long period of development. Excluding the inflow of government funding and other funds, the ratings have become an important criterion for the success of a variety show and TV series.

High ratings naturally mean that there are more people watching, so advertisers will have better results at this point in time or before and after TV shows and variety shows are broadcast.

If the ratings are low, then the effect of natural advertising is also poor, followed by the reduction in the cost of advertisers.

Choi Ji-hye naturally has such thoughts, but after all, variety shows and TV series have as different as heaven and earth. It is already a dangerous move to allow Jung Hyuk-jae to act as Screenwriter and Assistant Director. Put this young man in his early twenties to the position of chief director?

Just thinking about it in my heart, Choi Ji-hye feels very suspenseful!

“No way, no way!” Before Jung Hyuk-jae could reveal his inner thoughts, Choi Ji-hye shook his head and said, “This…TV Station has no precedent until now, no! “

Jung Hyuk-jae smiled. Isn’t there a precedent for himself as an Assistant Director? Filling his teacup with water again, he stared at Choi Ji-hye with a smile, and didn’t intend to speak.

After lowering his head and thinking for a long time, Choi Ji-hye raised his head and stared at Jung Hyuk-jae with solemn eyes, “Can you guarantee it?”

“Dare!”

“What guarantee?”

“If the ratings do not reach the one third of “X-man”, I will voluntarily refund the script fee!” Jung Hyuk-jae affirmed replied.

“Not enough!” Choi Ji-hye shook his head, not agreeing to his condition.

“So what do you want?”

“Do a new variety show project for Bureau of Comprehensive Arts and Entertainment for free, and the ratings must not be lower than “X-man” One-half of the current average ratings!”

“I promised!” This time, Jung Hyuk-jae readily agreed.

……………………………………….. .

The man in his forties looked down at the surging forward with great momentum outside the window, and heard the knock on the door outside the door. Then he came back to his senses and sat down slowly to his own. Location.

“Come in!”

A young man wearing glasses walked in at the sound of the door. He glanced down at his boss, and then stood quietly. Aside, waiting for the Boss to teach.

“Director Kim, I heard you are looking for me?”

Kim Woo-ji put down the jade in his hand, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the young man trembling with fear,” How is the contact with Screenwriter? Is there a good script lately?”

Hearing the question from Boss, the guy in glasses suffered a cardiac arrest for a moment, and then he hurriedly turned out his notes. He repeated the above sentence one by one, and obviously he did not see the face of the head of his family gradually getting colder.

“That is to say, the Screenwriter said that there is no? Or we don’t like it?” Kim Woo-ji groaned, although anxious in his heart, he did not show it on his face because of the presence of his subordinates.

For a TV series, the script is the key to it. The skeleton of a phenomenal TV series lies in the script, and it is the director who fills this skeleton with flesh and blood.

The three major TV Stations in South Korea have trained many screenwriters. Because of the expensive training costs, for these intern Screenwriters (or trainee Screenwriter, assistant Screenwriter, etc.), TV Station only Provide enough living expenses every month. If a script is adopted, it will only subsidize a little living expenses.

You want more, sorry, please exchange the training fee first! And for these Screenwriters, each TV Station also takes the form of signing a long-term contract to control them to prevent job-hopping.

Wait until they have the ability or can finish apprenticeship, generally they will not choose to stay, because the salary that TV Station can give is too low, and independent screenwriters usually have 500 scripts per episode. 10,000 or more.

For example, Choi Ji-hye’s price of 2 million per episode for Jung Hyuk-jae is actually for Screenwriter who is just entering the industry. And some well-known old Screenwriters in the industry like Screenwriter, the cost of one episode can reach the point of 20 million Korean Won, and the annual income is as high as 3.3 billion yuan.

So, not only SBSTV Station, but the other two TV Stations are also facing a shortage of good scripts and the scarcity of good screenwriters.

Whenever I get news that a well-known Screenwriter has written a script, it is bound to attract you from the three major TV Stations.

Put this worry aside for the time being, Kim Woo-ji continued to ask, “Is there anything happening at the Bureau of Comprehensive Arts and Entertainment?”

“Call in the morning. After a phone call, no one has come here!” The young man glanced at the notes, and then said.

Kim Woo-ji listened to the words of his subordinates, and couldn’t help but sneered in his heart. ‘

He also heard about the news that the Bureau of Comprehensive Arts and Entertainment is going to make a short drama. He has sent a previous MV director of TV Station. It should be enough.

Who knew that something like this happened near the shooting.

Originally, Kim Woo-ji didn’t take this matter seriously. It was only when he heard his subordinates discuss gossip today. It turned out that Choi Ji-hye was going to do it herself.

‘What climate can a grass platform become? ‘Thinking of this, Kim Woo-ji’s mouth showed a slight sneer. I heard that the script of the short play was written by a young man who just left school?

Even the young man wears titles like’Screenwriter, Assistant Director’, and it sounds like a scent of’pretend to be an adult’.

Kim Woo-ji saw his subordinates hesitate and couldn’t speak, he couldn’t help being a little annoyed, “If you have something to say, what kind of girl do you play there?”

Hearing what Boss said, the guy in glasses talked about the gossip he just heard, “I heard that Bureau Chief Choi has appointed the Screenwriter in their Production crew to be the director of this time!”

“What? You mean the young man in his early twenties?” Kim Woo-ji had an incredible face. How could he didn’t expect Choi Ji-hye to bet this stall on a youngster.

……………………………………….. …….

After work, Yoo Jae-seok insisted on pulling Jung Hyuk-jae out for a drink, and came to Kang Ho Dong’s own BBQ’Kang Ho Dong678′ Shop, two people are ready to have a good meal.

It’s a coincidence that, as the boss of this store, Kang Ho came here to inspect after finishing the announcement. By the way, the three people got together.

While waiting for the meat, the three of you chatted with you one by one.

“I heard that you are going to quit from “X-man”?” Yoo Jae-seok sighed confirmed to him.

Jung Hyuk-jae didn’t speak, he just hesitated for a while before nodded.

“Hyuk-jae~ah, what is it that you want to withdraw from “X-man”?” Kang Ho was surprised after hearing Yoo Jae-seok’s words.

Although I haven’t been in contact with Jung Hyuk-jae for a long time, this young man has a very good impression. Many elderly people in the column, Sunbae, also appreciate this talented but a little bit. Young man who is not proud.

The news of Jung Hyuk-jae’s promotion did not spread so quickly, and under his conscious low-key, few people around him knew that he became the chief director of “Reverse Theatre”.

Yoo Jae-seok glanced at Jung Hyuk-jae who pretended to be profound mystery, combined with some rumors he heard, stared dumbfounded at the young man sitting in front of him, with a face full of disbelief .

“You are not going to be the director of “Reverse Theatre”, are you?”

Oh my God, the director in your twenties? This has not been seen in SBS, or in the entire three major TV Stations, right?

Whether it is a variety show, a TV series, or a movie, which director is not all 30 years old?

The barbecue that Kang Ho stuffed into his mouth didn’t bother to chew it, and swallowed it whole. “What Jae-seok said is true?”

” Yes!” Jung Hyuk-jae didn’t pretend to be forced this time. It’s definitely nodded. After all, almost all TV Stations will know about it tomorrow, so I can’t hide it.

Yoo Jae-seok glanced at Jung Hyuk-jae, opened the mouth and said, “Hyuk-jae~ah, how old are you?”

“80 years , What’s the matter?”

“80 years, twenty-four? I have a younger sister from a relative’s family who is about the same age as you…” Yoo Jae-seok instantly incarnation matchmaker, mouth The introduction of it starts from the younger sister of its relative’s family.

With a few words of emotion, Yoo Jae-seok and the others continued to drink, and this meal was regarded as Jung Hyuk-jae’s promotion banquet.

The TV Station circle says it’s not big, it’s not small. Before the early hours of the morning, almost everyone knew that a young man in his twenties had become the chief director of a short play.

Question, disdain, worry, watching a movie…

Everyone’s reaction is different. Without exception, almost everyone does something to SBSTV Station. This move expressed concern.

In your twenties? What can he do?
