My Entertainment Circle

Zhang Pingan's two food programs have not started production yet. In order to get out of this situation, he agreed to cooperate with Olive on a food program. At this time, in the editing room of TVN's "New Journey to the West", Zhang Pingan sat on the sofa in the lounge and complained to Luo Yingshi who was editing the film: "I am really impressed. The director upstairs is simply holding me and not letting me go. If he hadn't agreed to cooperate, I am afraid I really couldn't come down today." Zhang Pingan started to talk non-stop after he came in, which forced Luo Yingshi, who was editing the film, to get up from the computer. He went to make a cup of instant coffee for Zhang Pingan and handed it to him. At the same time, Luo Yingshi said: "Calm down, who told you to be a free producer? You see, I won't have such a situation. No one will hold me and talk for a long time. Because they all know that it's useless to hold me and complain. The program I produce can only be broadcast on TVN!" Yes, the problem of Zhang Pingan as a free producer is that.. the program he created has no fixed broadcast platform, and anyone can compete! Today, the director upstairs staged a sad drama for him, hoping that he would co-produce it, and Zhang Pingan agreed. Maybe next time he comes to the TV station, there will be other channels trying to get him to act in another show.

Zhang Pingan drank the instant coffee brewed by Luo Yingshi in one go. He threw the paper cup into the trash can and said, "It seems that I have to come to CJ Entertainment less often, lest someone get me next time."

Luo Yingshi smiled and pointed at the editing computer: "How about you edit one episode? I'll take a break?"

Zhang Pingan knew that if he sat down, he would probably not be able to get up for two or three hours. So he immediately stood up with his iPad: "I still have to ask Director Li Minghan which director to assign to me? This time, I plan to let the program team follow up on the food program." Luo Yingshi smiled and said: "You are lazy. As the chief producer, you don't even want to be responsible for editing the film? Aren't you afraid that I will edit the film to pieces?" Zhang Pingan opened the door, half of his foot was outside the door, and then he said to Luo Yingshi: "If Director Luo edits the film to pieces... then I think there will be no one in Korea who can edit films! Let's go, let's go, I have a lot of things to do. I also plan to go to M!" Luo Yingshi shook his head and waved to Zhang Pingan and said: "You are worthy of being the busiest producer in Korea! Okay, go, go." Zhang Pingan, the producer, is not only responsible for the production of the program, but also for the investment of the program and the early negotiations with the TV station. In addition, he has so many programs to produce, so he must be very busy. Luo Yingshi felt that he was already very busy with two programs this time, not to mention that Zhang Pingan was also running so many programs at the same time. Luo Yingshi also admired Zhang Pingan's energy.

After discussing with Director Li Minghan, he contacted the executive director and the main writer to have a meeting with Zhang Pingan. After the data on Zhang Pingan's iPad was transferred to the director's email address of the program group, they quickly printed it out. Holding this planning form, the three held the first preparatory meeting of the program group in the conference room.

Zhang Pingan said: "The show's shed doesn't need to be set up inside the studio, an outdoor shed will do, and there's no problem with the kitchen equipment, right?"

The director held up the plan and said: "The kitchen equipment is simple, and there's no big problem after seeing your sketch of the on-site layout. The main thing is how to negotiate the sponsorship of the brand? Do you need to talk to the manufacturer about the seasoning used in the food show?"

"Try to talk, anyway, it's just a question of covering the label. In fact, there's no need to talk to the manufacturer about sponsorship, just let them pay some money to 'show the trademark'. Last time when I produced "The Showdown", I asked the manufacturer to buy the 'trademark' themselves, and of course it would be best if they could sponsor it." Soy sauce, the most commonly used seasoning in South Korea, has many brands, and there will always be a manufacturer willing to spend some money to show their trademark in the food show.

Then Zhang Pingan said, "Can I give you a week to arrange the scene?"

"One week..." Just as the writer hesitated, the director next to him pulled the writer's sleeve and said immediately, "One week, guarantee to complete the task! We will go to see if there are any sheds available outdoors."

Zhang Pingan nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, that's decided for the time being. I will follow up with Bai Zhongyuan and give you a reply within three days. Then you will need Mr. Bai to contact you in person! After all, he is an expert in kitchenware brands!"

"Okay, then we will prepare first, PD Zhang, your phone number is..." After Zhang Pingan exchanged numbers with the writers and directors of the program group, he went downstairs with his iPad and headed towards the Dream Center.

The Dream Center is the venue of M.

.......

Unconsciously, Zhang Pingan's phone number stored in the backstage staff is increasing. If he has his own platform to broadcast the program, he can make a high-quality program through them.

After Zhang Pingan came to M's side, he saw the promotional poster "s.m.t.m.4" they posted. This hiphop show achieved great success in ratings last season, and then Zhang Pingan produced a women's rap survival show, and the ratings followed suit. Therefore, in the past two years, there have been more and more people in Korea who want to become rappers. Anyway, ‘hiphop’ now represents popularity!

In addition, some raps are deliberately showing off their wealth or something, and all kinds of luxury brands are on them. Driving a luxury car, living in a luxury house, etc. are all disclosed in the program. The most bizarre thing is that someone disclosed their annual income last year. Stimulated by seeing money and fame, more people want to become rappers, because idols dare not show off their wealth, but independent rappers dare!

Looking at the promotional posters posted everywhere, Zhang Ping'an smiled and shook his head. He didn't come here this time to see what history they said this program would create. Yes, Zhang Pingan knew that their audition activities had officially begun, and the filming of the show had also begun. After all, the reports had come out, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe the audition scene as a sea of ​​people.

With the popularity of the hiphop genre, this group of singers who originally lived underground have gradually become mainstream, even trendy, in Korea! !

Zhang Ping'an came to the M Variety Show Bureau and saw that it was still busy here. Yes, it has been very busy recently because the music station produces too many programs, not just this one talent show!

While busy, a staff member saw Zhang Ping'an standing in the passage: "PD Zhang, why are you here?"

"I See Your Voice" just finished its first season two days ago, and the ratings of the show are quite perfect. But everyone in the station knows that the program team has already begun preparations for the production of the second season, and many overseas countries have discussed the introduction of the program with Zhang Pingan. Zhang Pingan has really made a lot of money with this "Kan Sheng".

Faced with the curiosity of the staff, Zhang Ping'an smiled and pointed in the direction of the director's office and said, "I'm here to find the director!"

Only top producers like Zhang Pingan dare to go to the director's office so casually, right? If it was a PD from a program with low ratings, who would go to the director's office to ask for trouble?

Zhang Ping'an went through many program groups, and even passed through the "Kansheng" program group before coming to the director's office. Under the leadership of his secretary, Zhang Pingan entered the office.

The director looked at Zhang Ping'an's arrival and greeted him with a smile on his face: "Oh~~Producer Zhang, why are you free to come sit here today? Xiao Li, go and pour PD Zhang a cup of coffee."

Zhang Pingan stopped and said, "No, I drank a lot at TVN. Just give me a bottle of mineral water."

The secretary got Zhang Pingan a bottle of water and then exited the office. Zhang Pingan put down the iPad in his hand, opened the mineral water and took a sip.

Then Zhang Pingan looked at the director with a smile on his face and said, "I have an idea. I want to change the situation on the TV station!"

Zhang Pingan's words made the director confused and said: "Change the situation of the TV station? What situation?"

Zhang Pingan leaned comfortably on the side of the sofa, then crossed his legs and said, "Of course it's the market situation. I remember that a long time ago, the brokerage company always cooperated with the TV station, but I don't know when the TV station started to cooperate with the brokerage company. Even now, brokerage companies have taken the absolute initiative in the market, so I want to change this situation.”

The director's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he soon lost his temper and said: "You are talking about a long time ago when the TV station was still dictatorial. At that time, all the artists had to cooperate with the TV station to work. But now the times are different. It’s the same, with the emergence of online self-media, TV stations can no longer monopolize, so the agencies that control the ‘artists’ have become the market leaders.”

Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded and said: "I know that the impact of the Internet has had a certain impact on TV stations, but it has not yet reached the point of replacing it, right? There are many good TV series or TV programs that everyone would rather watch in front of the TV. It’s the first broadcast. Because you can only watch the live broadcast and talk to the people around you the next day, right? However, I think we can try to change the status quo.”

The director smiled and shook his head and responded: "You are in a brokerage company. Are you going to ruin your job?"

Zhang Pingan's legs crossed, and then he said with a bad smile: "In the face of absolute interests, nothing can't be broken. Just like the conflict between your station and S.M. was so serious, it was resolved in the end. . Because whether it’s the agency, us businessmen, or your TV station, everyone is pursuing profit!”
