Rebirth of the Director in Korea

“Has the theme of the new file Water-Wood Drama finalized?”

MBCTV Station TV Drama Production Bureau Office, Kim Jae-yeol glanced and sat down for the first time The many subordinates who were reading, asked in a deep voice, that the expression was very serious, at least to outsiders, and the subordinates also pressed their lips tightly and did not smile.

When I heard what my immediate boss said, you look at me and I look at you. No one said anything.

Seeing this, Kim Jae-yeol also understood in his heart, the irritability in his heart has not disappeared, and his face has become more and more gloomy. Seeing that he has a tendency to get angry. Only one of the following subordinates replied a weak sentence.

“The director, I have shown you the scripts recently published by the Screenwriter in the station. According to the requirements you said, these scripts are not up to standard. In addition, we have a cooperation with our TV Station. Well-known Screenwriters in the circle have also asked about it. Most of them have contracts with other TV Stations and don’t have time to write new dramas.”

The subordinates said carefully, their eyes kept watching. The expression on Kim Jae-yeol’s face, seeing his expression converge a bit and become less gloomy, the subordinate’s hanging heart finally let go.

Looking at the subordinates in front of him, Kim Jae-yeol couldn’t send out no matter how angry his heart was. After all, the result of the matter can’t be blamed on them. It’s not good for the TV series. If it’s not received, it’s not bad. Kim Jae-yeol’s script, even if there is a ready-made platform, can’t be started. This is what depresses Kim Jae-yeol the most.

Although the current price of the Screenwriter industry is exorbitantly high, it must have a good script. The Screenwriter industry, like all industries, is a pyramid structure. There are tens of millions of Korean Won’s in one episode. Screenwriters also have them. Those newcomer Screenwriters cost less than a million or more for an episode, not to mention that the scripts written by them don’t even have the right to sign at the end.

The contracts of well-known Screenwriters in the circle are not always numbered. It is not that you can get the script if you want.

“Let’s put aside the problem with the script first. If you should continue to receive the script, you will still receive it. The quality still needs to be checked.”

I heard what Kim Jae-yeol said. , The subordinates under the first opened their own notebooks and recorded them.

“In addition, everyone’s attention should not be limited to these Screenwriters in the circle. You can focus on other industries, such as the “Love Story in Harvard” by KBSTV Station last year. Everyone has watched it. “

Kim Jae-yeol asked, staring at the expressions of his subordinates. After hearing his words, everyone was nodded. It seems that everyone’s impression of this Supervisory Board is very different. profound.

“I have watched it, and I think the TV series is pretty good.”

“Well, I still like the heroine Kim Tae-hee.”

“I feel that her makeup inside is quite beautiful, but I don’t like the protagonist very much, and I don’t think it fits well with Kim Tae-hee.”

Because of one of my own topics. , The subordinates began to express their opinions. The originally quiet Conference Hall suddenly turned into a vegetable market, which made Kim Jae-yeol’s face blackened, which was not what he intended.

“Cough cough…Okay, it’s all quiet!” Kim Jae-yeol coughed a few times, then spoke.

Hearing what he said, everyone calmed down gradually, staring at Kim Jae-yeol, as if they all wanted to know what he wanted to say next.

“KBSTV Station’s TV series “Love Story in Harvard” is adapted from last year’s best-selling novel “Love Story In Harvard”. Don’t look at it as an adaptation from a novel, everyone knows it. I know the ending, but the ratings are very good.”

As the director of the TV Station TV series production bureau, Kim Jae-yeol naturally remembers the TV series last year, especially “Love Story” I remember the scene where “in Harvard” and “I’m Sorry, I Love You” are fighting each other.

Although the ratings of “Love Story in Harvard” are not as good as those of “I’m Sorry, I Love You” in the same period, the audience’s reputation is good, and the ratings can reach the expectations of KBSTV Station Psychological requirements, it is already a good success.

Speaking of this, Kim Jae-yeol was silent for a while, and then continued speaking of which, “Don’t focus on Screenwriters and scripts in the industry. There are also many in the novel industry. For works suitable for adaptation, you can focus on these, as long as there are novels suitable for adaptation, remember to remember, find channels to ask the original author to see how the adaptation rights are sold.”

The meeting is here. It was almost to the end. After listening to Kim Jae-yeol’s words, everyone hurriedly recorded them in their notebooks and did everything very seriously.

“That’s all right, today’s meeting is here, everyone remember what I said, remember to follow the train of thought I said to think about how to find it, next January Water-Wood Drama must be on the agenda at this time. Time is not and the others!” Kim Jae-yeol said earnestly, and everyone was nodded when he heard his words, showing that they understand. .

“Well, the meeting is over. Everyone should prepare early. If you have any ideas, you can tell me.”

Speaking, Kim Jae-yeol got up and prepared After leaving, the sharp-eyed subordinates immediately got up and came to the door to help open the door of the Conference Hall, and said respectfully: “Chief Kim, please!”

Seeing the back of his boss leaving The people in the Conference Hall just let out a long sigh of relief. Just now, everyone was afraid to show up, for fear that Kim Jae-yeol would vent his flame hair on his head. I will see him now. After leaving, the Stonehead in my heart was placed on the ground.

“What Chief Kim said just now, how do we get started?”

After all, I have never done this kind of work before, and everyone feels that they have no way to start. In all the elites in this industry, speaking of which is not difficult to find a novel job. Everyone belongs to the type that can communicate at one point. Maybe some people don’t understand it before, and everyone reacts to the next explanation. Come here.

“Check the Ranking List of best-selling novels over the years, and look up novels based on that list to see if there are any suitable adaptations.” Said Elder Sister Sunbae, a TV drama production bureau. After many years of veteran employees, they immediately understood how to make preparations.

“Okay, let’s all act, don’t let the gold bureau urge us!” Sunbae patted from the TV drama production bureau urged everyone to act.

Everyone packed their things, and then walked out of the Conference Hall slowly. When they left, they were still chatting with their colleagues about how to carry out the next work.

………………………………..

MBCTV Station has a lot of employees in the TV drama production bureau. The staff’s office area alone occupies a whole floor. After all, besides the news department, MBCTV Station is the most important TV drama production bureau.

This office area of ​​the TV Drama Production Bureau is very lively all day long, people coming, people going, it looks very busy.

However, there are always times when these staff members are “sleeping busy”, taking advantage of their immediate bosses not doing other things. This is also a very common phenomenon, as long as they are not caught by the leader. There is one in the northeast corner of the non-office area.

“Chief Kim is here!”

Suddenly hearing the reminder from the colleague at the desk next door, Zhao Fine Jade hurriedly picked up his desk and moved Throwing his comic book in the drawer, his eyes turned to the computer, pretending to be working very hard.

I came here for a while, but I didn’t hear the sound of footsteps nearby. What the big guys around me should do or do, just like the two Sunbae hyeong over there are not still talking about yesterday’s The stock, where is the slightest appearance of Chief Kim coming.

“Haha…fine jade, ah, you are so innocent, you believe it!”

Hearing that’unpleasant’ whisper, Zhao Fine jade knew that she had been deceived right away, and her nervous face was stained with sorrow. He turned his head and shouted at her: “Ah! Wu Mi-yeon, are you tired of living?”

Hearing the low roar of his colleague and friend Zhao Fine Jade, Wu Mi-yeon realized that the joke he had just made was so big, he immediately ran to his friend and gently kneaded Zhao Fine jade’s shoulder, murmured that it was not.

“Fine jade, I am angry? I just teased you, who knows you really believed it?”

Feeling the strength of the shoulders, Zhao Fine jade didn’t speak, she had to let her air dry, otherwise, her teasing ills would be impossible to fix.

“Fine jade, are you still angry?” Wu Mi-yeon put his head on Zhao Fine jade’s shoulder, frivolous said good things, and said no, hoping to coax her with this. Let her not get angry.

“Okay, okay, I was wrong just now, can’t I buy two comic books for you when I look back?” Seeing his friend kept hanging himself up, Wu Mi-yeon resorted to Her own killing move, I don’t believe that I said so, but Zhao Fine Jade is still not tempted.

Comic book?

Hearing what Wu Mi-yeon said, Zhao Fine Jade’s complexion immediately changed. The gloomy complexion returned to normal in an instant, and there was a slight smile on the corners of his mouth.

“You are not angry anymore, are you?” Wu Mi-yeon felt that his friends around him were no longer angry, and he was relieved a lot, “I know you have no resistance to comic books!”

Listening to her, Zhao Fine Jade couldn’t help but defend himself: “Where is it, I just like to read comics that’s all!”

“I said no, you have a look The bookcases in your home are almost full of comic books, okay? Besides, you were still reading while you were at work, don’t think I don’t know!” Wu Mi-yeon pierced her Lies in one sentence and heard With Wu Mi-yeon’s words, Zhao Fine Jade’s face turned red without being noticed, and he smiled embarrassedly.

“I often see you reading manga, is it really that good-looking?” Wu Mi-yeon asked in a puzzled manner. After all, for a person like her who normally doesn’t have any hobby, he wants to understand Zhao The hobby of fine jade is somewhat difficult.

“Comics are very good-looking. The authors of the comics want to create a different world for us, let your mind travel in it.”

As long as there is a trace Zhao Fine Jade will benefit from the benefits of Amway comics around her. This time is no exception. She changed Amway’s object to Wu Mi-yeon in front of her, hoping that she can like to read comics as much as she does. Like-minded people have more common languages, but it seems that Wu Mi-yeon does not like to read comics very much.

When I heard Zhao Fine jade’s words, Wu Mi-yeon couldn’t help but shook his head, “Forget it, I won’t read it. I feel that comics are not suitable for me. I still compare I like to watch TV series.”

“What’s wrong with comics? Comics are static TV series, but there are no really in person on TV, that’s all, in fact, they are all very good-looking.” Zhao fine jade is the most beautiful. What I can’t bear is that others belittle the comics. It doesn’t look like it will start a good or bad comics dispute with Wu Mi-yeon.

“Forget it, with this skill, let’s do the task arranged by the top. How many novels have you sorted out last year’s novel Ranking List?” Wu Mi-yeon asked.

“Not much, there were too many novels on the Ranking List last year…”

“TV series? Comics?”

Think of Here, the head of Zhao Fine Jade’s words suddenly paused, and the whole person suddenly fell into contemplation, looking very concentrated.

“Fine jade, what’s wrong with you?” Wu Mi-yeon on the side asked softly in puzzlement, “Is there anything on my mind?”

Passed After a while, Zhao Fine Jade came back to his senses, with a relieved expression on his face. He did not answer Wu Mi-yeon’s question just now, and grabbed the comic book he just put in from his drawer. Stand up.

Seeing her like this, Wu Mi-yeon was a little puzzled, “Fine jade, why are you going?”

“I’m going to find Chief Kim?” Zhao Fine jade replied .

“You are not going to surrender, are you?” Wu Mi-yeon was quite puzzled. It was not the words he just said that stimulated her, right? Why else would she go to Chief Kim with the comic book now?

………………………………….

“This is the comic book you are talking about?”

In the office, Kim Jae-yeol read a few pages of the comic book at hand, then lifts the head to see and stand on his own The female subordinate in front of her was a little surprised by her behavior.

“Do you think it has the value of adaptation?” Kim Jae-yeol asked.

Standing in front of the boss, Zhao Fine jade was still a little nervous, but after hearing Kim Jae-yeol’s question, she still suppressed the panic in her heart, and then replied: “You Didn’t I say at the meeting not to limit your eyes to Screenwriter and scripts? Since novels can be adapted to TV series, then comics are naturally also possible. Previously, other TV Stations also had precedents of comics adapted to TV series!”

Kim Jae- Yeol listened to the explanation of his subordinates, he pondered for a while, and then he said, “That’s it, you go find Song Sunbae in the bureau and talk about the situation of this manga. If it is suitable for adaptation, then you go find Let’s take a look at the author of this comic.”

Hearing Kim Jae-yeol’s answer, Zhao Fine Jade’s face showed a hint of joy, and said a little excited, “Yes, I know!”
