My Entertainment Circle

Chapter 709 Taeyeon "I" (Part 1)

, one of the TV stations that Zhang Pingan has cooperated with most frequently recently. Because of the frequent cooperation between them, netizens have been joking on the Internet: "What's the matter? Zhang Da PD, are you really going to join CJ Entertainment and Luo Da PD and become 'fellow students'?"

In fact, the reason why Zhang Pingan is willing to cooperate with CJ Entertainment is because they are the largest private TV station in South Korea and the TV station that is most willing to invest in producing programs. Other TV stations are more or less stingy in terms of cooperation funds. Unless it is to produce a weekend ace variety show, otherwise, the cooperation funds that can be approved by the TV station are not much.

The TV station itself is unwilling to spend more money to produce programs, which also limits Zhang Pingan's habit of "spending a lot of money" on the program. It's impossible for them to invest so little money that Zhang Pingan will stupidly subsidize the rest, right? The share is half and half.

The main reason is that Zhang Pingan has become more and more successful on the road of being a producer. The TV station basically adopts a cooperative model with Zhang Pingan instead of selling time to him.

You said cooperation, then we should work together to make the program well, and everyone can make money, right? However, the three major TV stations all have certain funding shortages in operation, so they want to take out the smallest amount of money to gain the greatest benefits. But Zhang Pingan feels that investing in works, whether it is movies, TV, or variety shows. The finished products of large-scale investment projects will never deceive people.

So Zhang Pingan feels that cooperating with CJ Entertainment is the most comfortable, because their company does not have any funding problems, and the program team is willing to spend money when facing the creativity of good programs. For example, the overseas filming of Zhang Pingan and Luo Yingshi requires a very large investment, after all, it is an overseas filming of a large-scale studio team, but the TV station still gave approval.

, conference room. Zhang Pingan took the recent work log of the program and looked at it carefully. The staff who were assigned to the same group with Zhang Pingan this time all waited quietly for the speech of the general producer.

Because Zhang Pingan gave them the outline of the program very early, the supplement and improvement of the program is the most basic thing in the production of the program. If they don’t do well in the basic things, then their team will really be labeled as a team without execution.

After putting down the log, Zhang Pingan casually took the "registration form" and looked at the trainee information sent by the agency. He just flipped through two pieces of information and put the file down. Then he looked at the people on the team and said, "OK, the agency has almost contacted them. Before November, we will build the framework of the program. You can choose the host of the program yourself, and don't forget the training instructor. By the way, where is the art director?"

A slightly plump woman with glasses sitting there raised her hand when Zhang Pingan called out the "art director".

Zhang Pingan said to the art director, "You are responsible for supervising the program logo and web art. Does anyone have any opinions on the stage construction? Let me talk about my ideas first..."

Zhang Pingan took out his own triangle logo of "PD101" and built the stage according to the idea of ​​the triangle. His idea can be said to be "copied".

Having said that, Zhang Pingan made a summary: "No matter how many people participate this time, we will only select '11' for the debut. The voting method is that each user will be given 11 votes per day through the Internet, and they cannot vote for the same trainee. At the same time, you should contact Telecom and KT to open SMS voting, and we will open unlimited voting."

This is Zhang Pingan's clear intention to make money, but in Korea, you can only play with SMS voting.

In China, there are many ways to vote, anyway, they will try every possible way to make you spend money. What about buying endorsed products to get tickets, buying this to get tickets, buying that to get tickets. First, they have eaten the huge endorsement fees from the manufacturers, and they also have to take commissions on the sales of the same products. Playing voting in China, Zhang Pingan can easily make hundreds of millions of Chinese yuan on "PD101". Because the money of Chinese fans is the easiest to cheat... er, the easiest to make.

The people in the program team said worriedly: "With unlimited voting, will there be vote manipulation?"

Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "Vote manipulation has no effect on us, and we don't care. After all, we want to make money through text messages. No matter how you vote outside, you have to pay for the tickets, right? So no matter how you look at it, we are making money. Besides, doesn't it cost money to support your favorite singer? If you can accept it, you can vote. If you can't accept it, can't the fan club go out and canvass for votes? We only care about making profits. After all, the program investment is so large, don't we make some money back? After the group is formed in the future, their final profits will fall on the management company."

The executive director said: "Don't we have two years of exclusive franchise after the group is formed?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "What about two years from now? What we want is the freshness and the 'ticket money' earned when producing the program. This is the purpose of producing the program. The two years of exclusive operation after the group is formed ? I don't have the leisure to start a boy group project immediately after the show is successful. I'll warn you executives first, don't tell me anything about fraud. Once you find out, I will directly kick you out of the team. Remember, agent. Don’t take advantage of the company, it’s too hot. Give me more shots when editing, so this kind of thing doesn’t happen! At least I’m sitting in the chief production position for a day, so this kind of thing is not allowed to happen.”

Zhang Pingan's words made the execution PDs below tremble with fear. When they went to communicate with the brokerage company, the brokerage company did entertain them. As for how, Zhang Pingan didn't know, but some brokerage companies had discovered loopholes that could be exploited in the show. That's why they spend money to entertain these executive PDs who come to discuss the program.

But what Zhang Pingan said today is a wake-up call to those executive producers who have evil thoughts. He said this at a production meeting before the official recording of the show, and all the directors, writers, etc. were listening. If someone was found guilty of something later and was expelled from the show, we can't blame Zhang Ping'an for not setting the rules beforehand.

Now that the red line has been drawn for you, if you have any luck, don't blame anyone but yourself for being greedy.

After Zhang Pingan set the rules, everyone nodded and said, "I understand."

Seeing them nodding, Zhang Pingan said again: "Since it is a national production, then we give all the choices to the people. We can't take the audience's ticket money and also take the petty profits of the agency. It's really It’s not necessary. As long as the program is completed, I will personally apply to the station to provide benefits to everyone. We will strive to make this program a brand program like "Kansheng".

"Got it, PD Zhang."

Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "Well, I have to ask everyone to follow up on the next thing. The host team, training instructors, etc., and there are so many children's dormitory construction, these must be paid close attention to. Let’s try to get the show started in December, okay?”

There are still two months of preparation time left. Whether it is the construction of the venue or the decoration of the dormitory, as long as the money is available, everything is actually very quick.

.......

Coming out of the conference room, Zhang Ping'an met the "Taeng9Cam" variety show PD who had been squatting beside him early. As the producer of Zhang Pingan's album this time, their program team will definitely have to interview him. However, the program team also knows that Zhang Pingan is very busy, and they cannot specifically schedule Zhang Pingan's interview time. So the best way is to wait and see.

The people on the show knew very well that if you wanted to meet Zhang Pingan, you had to either wait for notification from Taeyeon or go to the TV station. Anyway, they will definitely be able to interview Zhang Pingan before the show ends.

Today Zhang Pingan came to the TV station, and they received the news quickly, so they specially came to guard Zhang Pingan with a camera.

When Zhang Pingan came out of the conference room, he saw that there was a camera pointed at him. The chubby body of the program PD, paired with the long golden curly hair, was particularly eye-catching. Zhang Pingan recognized the program PD at a glance.

He looked at the show PD and said, "What are you doing? If you don't go shoot Taeyeon, why are you pointing the camera at me?"

The program PD said: "As the producer of Taeyeon's album this time, we want to interview you."

Zhang Pingan nodded and pointed to the rest area, and a group of people walked towards the rest area. After taking him to sit down, the camera of the program crew was turned on, and the PD started to ask: "The title song in Taeyeon's album this time was provided by PD Zhang, and he personally produced the entire process. About Taeyeon this time Album, what do you want to say?”

Zhang Pingan looked at the camera lens and said: "Taeyeon has released an OST very early, and her grasp of lyricism is very good, such as "If" and "Can You Hear It?" These two are very familiar to everyone. And since this album was released in autumn, people may have imagined ballads that are very suitable for autumn, which is also in line with Taeyeon's positioning. But if people really think about it one-sidedly, then they are wrong~ ~Because I have been in contact with Taeyeon in private, we went to the singing studio together, and she showed many different styles in the singing studio, so I wanted to show Taeyeon’s musical diversity to everyone, so I created it. This time, Taeyeon made a lot of changes in the lyrics, and she added a lot of her own growth experience into the lyrics. Well, what I want to say is actually Taeyeon’s album and lyrics. Different from what people expected!”

Zhang Pingan continued: "Actually, when I decided to make this song the main song, Taeyeon was very hesitant because I also wrote a ballad that was more in line with Taeyeon's style. But this is what I need. In a twist, this is a new carrier song for Taeyeon that no one expected!”
