Rebirth of the Director in Korea

At around two o’clock in the afternoon, Jung Hyuk-jae came to the office of the Bureau of Comprehensive Arts and Entertainment Choi Ji-hye, and he was ready to push the door in. The girl at the front desk shook his head continuously, “Jung PD, the Bureau Chief Choi inside is angry, you should wait a while before going in.”

“Get angry? What’s the matter?” Jung heard from the girl at the front desk, Jung Hyuk-jae can’t help but feel a little strange. I haven’t come to TV Station for this day. What happened?

“I heard that I was training people, but everyone didn’t dare to lean over to eavesdrop. Just now the Chief-In-Charge of the variety show came up downstairs. I went in for half an hour until now. Come out.” The girl at the front desk whispered as she approached Jung Hyuk-jae’s ear.

“So that’s it?”

Although I haven’t seen Choi Ji-hye when he gets angry, Jung Hyuk-jae is not at all curious about this, anyway, no one comes out on his own Waiting outside, chatting with the soft girl at the front desk by the way is also a good choice.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Jung Hyuk-jae stood up and looked at the colleague who came out of the office when he heard Choi Ji-hye’s office pushing the door. Next to me, I was about to raise my hand to say hello, but people didn’t even have the interest to look at myself. Jung Hyuk-jae thought it was definitely not a good thing.

“Then I will go in!”

Waving his hand at the front desk girl, Jung Hyuk-jae gently pushed open the door of Choi Ji-hye’s office, before he could speak. I heard Choi Ji-hye yelling at himself: “Didn’t you say you don’t want to come in and disturb me? Why are all’left ears in, right ears out’?”

“-noona, It’s me.”

On hearing the familiar voice, Choi Ji-hye calmed down the anger in his heart, adjusted his collar and expression, turned the swivel chair and looked at Jung Hyuk-jae, “So early Come here? Didn’t you say you were shopping in Dongdaemun? Didn’t you ask who you were with? Is it your girlfriend?”

A black line appeared on Jung Hyuk-jae’s forehead, and he was a little too lazy to care about it. She had no choice but to explain: “-noona, didn’t you say you want me to come here early in the afternoon? And I’m not going shopping in the afternoon with my girlfriend, it’s my younger sister and her classmates.”

“Then is your younger sister’s senior beautiful?” Looking at this, Choi Ji-hye doesn’t seem to stop gossiping, and she just saw her scolding a few subordinates. It’s rare that she still feels like this.

“-noona, didn’t you call me here today to say that you have something to say? Are you two of us just sitting here and talking about gossip?”

“Yes, it’s like this. “Choi Ji-hye pulled out one of the folders arranged on the table and handed it to Jung Hyuk-jae. “This is the overall ratings of “Weekend Reverse Theatre”. Take a look. Let’s talk about the reception. Let’s get down to the renewal of the script.”

When it comes to work, Choi Ji-hye gets a lot of attention and puts on an official business.

Receiving the folder, Jung Hyuk-jae glanced at the ratings, and felt confident about the next negotiation of the script renewal.

“Weekend Reverse Theatre” has attracted the attention of many viewers since the airing day, and the ratings have always been the first in the same time period, although with the broadcast of the drama, the audience will inevitably Aesthetic fatigue is produced, but the ratings can still be regarded as among the best, even some TV series may not be comparable to this ratings.

I have filmed almost 80 episodes before. It is reasonable to say that SBS will not be so anxious to renew the next script. Up to now, the average 15% fluctuating ratings can be seen ” “Weekend Reverse Theatre” can still be popular for some time in the future, no wonder SBS will be anxious.

Actually, SBSTV Station does not find Jung Hyuk-jae to renew the script originally, because the novelty of “Weekend Reverse Theatre” is novel in creativity, the reversed plot, the unpredictable ending is the audience Talk about it.

In fact, as early as when the previous script was signed, Jung Hyuk-jae was very careful, “If you need to renew the next script, you must sign with Party B. Anyone or unit has to borrow ” Weekend Reverse Theatre “make creation’. The most critical point is here, which means that if SBS wants to continue filming “Weekend Reverse Theatre”, then the script must be renewed by Jung Hyuk-jae.

If I want to find the novice Screenwriter in my station to continue creating, I’m sorry, no!

At that time, Jung Hyuk-jae could only be regarded as a newcomer to Screenwriter at the time of signing the contract. After SBS suppressed the price enough, he did not carefully check the terms of the contract. “Weekend Reverse Theatre” has no confidence, and being able to sign twenty episodes is enough to save him face. As long as you make time to make a variety show program, you can let it go. Who would have thought it was this unintentional move. , Resulting in a hit short play.

It is precisely because of this clause attached to the contract that SBSTV Station had to bleed heavily this time.

“How are you preparing the script?” Choi Ji-hye saw that he had finished reading, and asked aloud: “You can see it too, the reputation of “Weekend Reverse Theatre” among the audience Not bad. Although the ratings have recently dropped from 20% on the first broadcast date to an average of 15% per issue, it still has the potential, and it is also a well-known figure in the same period.”

Listen Choi Ji-hye said that, Jung Hyuk-jae naturally nodded agree that about 15% of the ratings are enough to blow up many prime-level TV series.

Previous life “Weekend Reverse Theatre” also appeared immediately after “X-man”, the difference was that there was only one episode of “Weekend Reverse Theatre” every week, because it belonged to “X-man” at that time. Used to supplement time later. But this life is not the same. “Weekend Reverse Theatre” needs to show two episodes a week. After all, it receives the duration of a variety show program. Naturally, it can no longer be like that with one episode every week for 20 minutes.

Because of this, more than 80 episodes were originally enough to be broadcast until April of the following year, until the low ratings of “Weekend Reverse Theatre” were cut off by SBS. This is good until the middle of next year. It’s over.

Jung Hyuk-jae is not a person without a goal. He had already considered this issue as early as when he cast the script. Although he did not think that he was far enough now, he also considered it. Happening.

So early on, he followed the script structure and writing technique of “Weekend Reverse Theatre”, combined with the news and anecdotes he heard in life, and created a script with sixty episodes. Maybe not too much, but it’s definitely all his own original content.

“There is no problem with the script, sixty episodes.”

“That’s fine, this is a printed contract. You can take a look.” I heard Jung Hyuk-jae’s affirmative reply , Choi Ji-hye put the already printed contract in front of him.

Each episode has 4 million scripts. If one of the episodes has a rating of over 25%, then an additional 200,000 bonus will be added. When you see this Jung Hyuk-jae laughed, you probably won’t be able to get this one. Judging from the current ratings, a downward trend can be clearly seen. Although the ratings of a few episodes have rebounded, more of them are showing a downward trend, not because of “Weekend Reverse Theatre.” The quality of the movie has declined, but the appetite of the audience has been appetizing.

So Jung Hyuk-jae pays more attention to the price of each episode of the script. Compared with the minimum wage of 2 million writers he received before, it has now doubled to 4 million. , If 4 million is multiplied by 60 episodes, then it is 240 million Korean Won.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Jung Hyuk-jae’s face.

“How about, are you satisfied with the contract?” Choi Ji-hye stared at the expression on Jung Hyuk-jae’s face, and the voice asked.

“-noona, how come the additional conditions are gone?” What he said naturally was that he added the one that does not allow others to use “Weekend Reverse Theatre” to create the one, Jung Hyuk-jae pointed out Asked inexplicably, pretending to be in the blank space in the contract.

“Yeah! I was scolded by the leader after the loss of you brat last time. Do you think I will be fooled this time?” Choi Ji-hye gave him a blank look , “Didn’t expect you are young, but there are a lot of ghost ideas.”

……………………….. ………………..

As the end of the year approaches, all major TV Stations are preparing their acting awards, and SBSTV Station is the same. As the SBS that has won major TV series such as “Something Happened In Bali” and “Lovers in Paris” this year, this year’s acting awards have already attracted the attention of many media before they even started, because everyone wants to know what the SBSTV Station award will be. Whose house.

Throughout this year’s TV series, among the three major TV stations, SBS can be said to be the leader. The highest ratings of “Something Happened In Bali”, which premiered in January of this year, reached 40.4%. The average ratings of the complete episode are also 27%, which can be said to be a good start for SBS.

The “Lovers in Paris” broadcast in June has pushed SBS to the top of the three major TV Station dramas this year. The show has become the shortest breakthrough 40% and 50% ratings in the past 5 years. Daguan’s TV series, the twentieth episode of Grand Finale even got 56.3% ratings, becoming the champion of single episode ratings this year.

Since the end of the “Lovers in Paris” broadcast, SBS seems to have fallen into a bottleneck. Many TV series launched during the period can only be said to have received mediocre response. However, “I’m Sorry, I Love You”, which was broadcast in November, became a major tear gas weapon for SBS at the end of the year. The highest ratings reached 35% and the average ratings were 25%.

So far, SBSTV Station has completely taken the position of the king of TV dramas in 2004.

“Director Yoo, Director Kim is here.”

In the board of directors’ office, a staff member whispered beside him, and Director Yoo, who was lying on the table and approving documents He raised his head and looked at Kim Woo-ji who was standing in front of him. After a while, he was silent for a while before asking.

“Director Kim, has the list of this year’s acting awards been confirmed?”

Today on the 29th, the day after tomorrow, on the 31st, the acting skills of major TV Stations The big prize is about to be held. Speaking of which The three major TV Stations compete with each other, and even the ratings of the acting awards have to be divided into higher ones and lower ones.

“It has been confirmed.” Kim Woo-ji said and took a few steps forward, and handed the folder in his hand to Director Yoo.

Receiving the folder handed by Kim Woo-ji, he glanced roughly, took a pen and sketched it a few times, and then handed it over.

“Director Yoo, this is not so good, the list has been confirmed…” Looking at Director Yoo’s comment, Kim Woo-ji was embarrassed and quite entangled. Said.

“Just do as I wrote above!”

“Yes.”
