My Entertainment Circle

Chapter 361: M-net’s Appointment (Part 2)

The programs produced by Luo Yingshi would hold some press conferences before they were aired. This was his practice, and Zhang Pingan also knew it. After all, the press conference of the program is also a kind of publicity. It not only promotes the program, but also promotes the brand effect of 'Luo Yingshi Production'. This time it was a program jointly produced by Zhang Pingan and him. Once the press conference was held, the program attracted everyone's attention before it was broadcast. This is what they want to be popular before it is aired!

After he returned to the set, Sika looked at Zhang Pingan's frown, and she asked in a low voice: "Did any accident happen during the filming?"

Zhang Ping'an shook his head and said: "No, the filming of the show went very well. I will be asked to attend the launch conference tomorrow afternoon. It will premiere the day after tomorrow. PD Luo Yingshi said, the director wants to meet me? I don't understand. I I have never been in contact with him? He suddenly said that he wanted to see me and even asked PD Luo to help me. I was a little confused. "

When Sika heard about 'M' TV station, she laughed. She smiled and said, "Think about it carefully, are you really not related to 'M TV station'?"

Zhang Pingan tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "No, I usually go to 'M TV' to watch "M! CD". I don't even know who the program PD is. CJ, the only one who impressed me more deeply is Na Young-seok’s team, writer Lee Yoo-jung, writer Shin Hyo-jung, oh, and PD Shin Won-ho (the PD of Na Young-seok’s team, the director who filmed the “Reply” series with Lee Yoo-jung and Shin Hyo-jung after coming to CJ.)”

Sika smiled and said: "Oppa, what type of program is "The King of Masked Singer"?"

"Music, what else could it be?" Zhang Ping'an immediately answered Sika's boring question. People who understand will know that it is a music-type program at a glance. Sika then said: "What channel is TV M?"

Faced with this question, Zhang Pingan immediately responded: "It's CJ Entertainment's music...ah~~ It seems that after the success of the music program I produced this time, they are a little bit embarrassed. Could it be that they want to cooperate with me?" A music show? But they already have so many music talent shows.”

Sika said: "The audition is an audition, and the music program is a music program. This time you and PD Luo have made a good start. Maybe CJ wants to get closer to you, right? The results of "The King of Masked Singer" It’s really good. Luna surprised everyone after she unveiled it. I heard from Crystal that she now has many program invitations, which also shows that the program you produced is very successful!”

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look tomorrow. I'll go back and think about the plans for any music programs tonight."

Sika laughed: "You are producing more and more programs now. If you cooperate with another music program, you will have four programs. You definitely don't want to arrange your own programs to compete together at the same time. You Shouldn’t we produce one week’s worth of programs and then occupy the top spot in the ratings at the same time during the week?”

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "If we really want to cooperate, we can only arrange it on Saturday this time. I don't have the confidence to compete with "Infinite Challenge" on Saturday."

Sika immediately said to Zhang Pingan: "You are overthinking. It is impossible to give you a prime period like Saturday. The current two drafts are fixed on the weekend, and you can only make time choices from Monday to Wednesday. . (Because Thursday is "M!CD")

"Look, if I can't do it on the weekend, I'll do it on Monday."

.......

The next day, Zhang Pingan got up early and exercised and returned home. Sika had already woken up. She sat cross-legged in the dining room and watched Zhang Pingan come back. After Zhang Pingan came back, she pointed to the kitchen: "Crystal brought some sandwiches and the coffee was just brewed." of."

"I'll take a shower and come out."

Sika nodded and said: "I have matched the clothes for you and put them in the bedroom. You can wear the clothes I prepared for you when you go to the TV station later. Don't you have a press conference in the afternoon? I will match you more formally. Don't wear sportswear. ”

"I'm not stupid,

Wearing sportswear these days is convenient. I still wouldn’t wear sportswear on formal occasions. I'm going to take a shower..."

After taking a shower, Zhang Pingan had a simple breakfast. Sika came to the bedroom and helped Zhang Pingan organize his formal clothes. He had a very well-cut formal navy striped suit with a slim-fitting vest and shirt underneath. Sika pays great attention to small details, such as shirt collar pins, cufflinks, and small handkerchiefs, a typical cocktail party style look.

Zhang Ping'an looked at himself in the mirror and said in confusion: "Xika, I'm just attending the press conference, and I'm just a producer, not a starring role. Dressed like this...how does it feel like attending an awards ceremony?"

Because such clothing is too formal and heavy... Zhang Pingan understood that Sika's intentions were well-intentioned, but such clothing was not suitable for such an occasion. This is just a press conference for the show, not a red carpet! !

Sika stopped arranging and looked at Zhang Ping'an and said, "Then what do you want to wear? Sportswear?"

Zhang Ping'an said: "Just wear a t-shirt underneath, make it more casual. This outfit is both a vest and tie. It feels like I'm going to an awards ceremony."

"Really?" After saying that, Sika turned around and went to the cloakroom. She once again put on a more casual outfit. The suit changed from navy blue to black, the inner outfit changed from a shirt to a round-neck short-sleeved one, and the trousers changed from a formal one. The trousers turned into cropped trousers. Zhang Ping'an finally accepted this dress, at least it's not so formal, it's a casual way to wear a suit.

Sika smiled and said: "Your figure is very suitable for wearing a suit. Don't always wear sportswear."

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "I used to wear suits mostly in autumn and winter. This year I have more work. Even when I go to the company, I spend more time walking back and forth, so I got used to wearing sneakers. . I just want to be more relaxed and comfortable. I’m leaving now. Are you not filming today?”

Sika said with a smile: "I'm not filming anymore, but I still have to go to the studio. Today, Taiti Xu is participating in the filming. As you said, since they are all investors, they have to take advantage of it, right?"

"That's for sure. Since we are all investors, we have to contribute to the brand, right? How can you bear everything by yourself?"

"Hehe, let's have dinner together tonight."

"Well, I'll call you as soon as the press conference is over."

Zhang Pingan went out, but Sika didn't let him go to the beauty salon because she gave Zhang Pingan a simple dressup herself.

After passing the morning rush hour, Zhang Pingan drove smoothly to CJ Entertainment. Zhang Pingan has been to this familiar building many times, but every time he comes here he comes to see the scene. Today, when he came to CJ Entertainment, there was no scene to see.

M-net can be said to be the largest music-related entertainment channel in Asia. The channel broadcasts music-related programs every week, or news about idols, debut records, etc.

Entering M-net's office area, Zhang Pingan smiled unconsciously when he saw some familiar program names written on the office spaces divided by the program team. There was a sense of familiarity and intimacy, after all, this was the channel he watched the most before.

Many people greeted Zhang Pingan politely when they saw him: "PD Zhang, hello." "PD Zhang." "PD Zhang!" Zhang Pingan nodded in response, and then asked where the director's office was. Location..

After he left, the people below started talking: "Is Zhang Ping'an coming to our 'M Channel' to cooperate with us? Didn't he just produce a program with Luo Yingshi of tvN channel? He came to us so soon channel?”

"Who knows. However, "The King of Masked Singer" produced by Zhang Pingan is indeed a very classic music program. For this, we writers have been scolded a lot. MBC music programs are not the strong point. In the past, there were only one show "My Knot" and one show "No Challenge". Now that MBC has cooperated with Zhang Pingan, MBC has changed a lot. Pulled off the weekend throne.”

"After Luo Yingshi left, "Two Days" became more and more boring. In the past, when Luo Yingshi was here, "Two Days" was the real king. Who would have thought that a variety show could break through the 50 ratings? Only Luo Yingshi could do it! After Na Yingshi joined tvN, not only TV dramas became popular, but also variety shows..." He gave a thumbs up.

M-net and tvN belong to the same TV station, but they are different channels. tvN has always focused on TV series, but after Na Yingshi joined, the ratings of TV series and variety shows have created miracles for paid channels. This makes tvN channel somewhat replace ‘M-net’ and become CJ’s flagship channel. Naturally, the director here was a little flustered.

Before Na Young-seok arrived, tvN was just like that. The ratings of drama series were only about 1%, let alone variety shows. Now 10% of all TV series are available. This is a premium channel. At 10%, 5 million households will pay to watch. Can you imagine what a huge amount of income that is?

Seeing that tvN is gradually getting more support from above, whether it is funds, equipment, etc., the director is panicking. After all, their channel used to be the ‘boss’ of CJ Entertainment.

Nowadays, tvN's high-quality dramas are being broadcast non-stop. The recently aired 10th anniversary special drama "Misheng" has also received good reputation and ratings, so the director here asked Luo Yingshi to meet Zhang Ping'an. After all, Among the freelance producers, only Zhang Pingan is the most powerful.

Kim Tae-ho and Na Ying-shik are of course much more powerful than Zhang Ping'an, but they all have their own channels, and he can't invite them. The only hope is the current top freelance producer, Zhang Pingan!

Zhang Ping'an was led by his secretary to the director's office. The director quickly brightened up after seeing Zhang Ping'an: "Hey~ PD Zhang, hello, hello..."
