My Entertainment Circle

The smile on the director's face seemed to bloom after seeing Zhang Pingan. The recent program producer, Zhang Pingan, has indeed been recognized by many viewers for what he produced. Whether it is "I Live Alone" produced for fans or the topical "King of Masked Singer", these two programs have become MBC's flagship programs. Although the program was not produced by MBC TV station, it was broadcast on their TV station, which also brought a lot of reputation to MBC TV station.

M-net, once the 'leading' channel of CJ Entertainment, has gradually begun to decline in recent years because they have no flagship program.

"M!CD"? You must know that other TV stations also have singing programs. The return of idols is not just about singing in their programs. Draft? Similarly, other TV stations have also planned talent shows. The only thing is that "SMTM" is becoming popular now.

But this one program alone cannot support a channel, so he needs talented producers like Zhang Pingan to help produce variety shows, including music-related variety shows.

The director quickly walked towards Zhang Ping'an, and when he approached, he took the initiative to extend his hand: "PD Zhang, hello, hello, this is the first time we meet, he is much more handsome than in the photo. Sit...sit...Li Secretary, help get PD Zhang a cup of coffee."

Zhang Ping'an shook hands with the director and sat in the reception area with a smile. He said with a smile: "It's my first time to come to the director's office. It's an honor, an honor. I don't know, director, why did you come to me today?"

Seeing Zhang Ping'an being so straightforward, the director said straightforwardly: "That's right, I watched "The King of Masked Singer" you produced. It's really a very creative music program. However, such music Program... PD Zhang should cooperate with our music channel. After all, our channel has always been engaged in music-related business, whether it is shooting experience or stage preparation, etc., we will definitely not be stingy."

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "MBC gave up the copyright for me to cooperate with the program. Your company..."

The director said: "That's right. The copyright of the program you plan belongs to you. It is inevitable. As for how to cooperate, we can sit down and negotiate slowly."

Copyright is taken very seriously in overseas countries. Whoever plans it will own the copyright. There is no doubt about this. Whether it is a variety show or a song, the copyright belongs to the creator. But under normal circumstances, the copyright of variety shows belongs to the TV station. Since most variety shows are produced by employees of the TV station, the copyright naturally belongs to the TV station. As for co-production with Zhang Pingan, the copyright should belong to Zhang Pingan, the producer of the show.

As for online on-demand broadcasting, if you want to use the copyright, you have to pay. You have to pay when using copyright overseas. This is basic common sense! This is done better overseas than in China. Do you want to talk about copyright in China? This is a joke!

At this time, the secretary brought in coffee, and the director told the secretary to call PD Jin in.

After a while, PD Jin entered the director's office. It didn't take much to figure out that this PD Jin must be the director's confidant. Otherwise, the director would not have called the PD in when discussing cooperation. If the negotiation goes well, then Zhang Pingan's next cooperation will start with this Jin PD.

After PD Jin came in, he greeted the two of them: "Director, PD Zhang."

The director smiled and said to Zhang Pingan: "This is a senior PD who has been working in our broadcast for seven years. If we are lucky enough to cooperate with PD Zhang this time, our TV station will fully support it. For the details of the cooperation, you can contact PD Jin Negotiate.”

"Well, if there is a good program plan, I will contact you. My investment in music programs will be relatively large. You should know from watching "Masked" that I have very high requirements for the stage effect of the program..."

The director said: "We will fully support the funds and equipment. The stage construction will be done according to your instructions.

You are the general planner of the show. "

"Okay, then I will discuss the specific plan with Jin PD's team. If we think it is feasible, then we will do it together. It just so happens that I also have a good idea in my head. Not long ago, your TV station's "SMTM" received a lot of praise topic, and Hip-hop music has also received strong attention from the market, so I wonder if a program like this is being produced? "

I originally thought that Zhang Pingan had a lot of ideas in his head, but in the end, he actually filmed the audition "SMTM" again? However, their channel will only film one season of such a talent show a year. If it is filmed too much, the audience will feel bored watching it. So when I heard Zhang Pingan said that he was producing a show "SMTM", the director looked at him with a little disappointment and said, "Huh?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "I'm not talking about a massive talent show like "SMTM", but about producing a Hiphop type program, because music of this style has received a lot of attention recently, so we have to focus on it. When I watch "SMTM", I often see some female rappers appearing. To be honest, it's a bit unfair to put women and men together to compete. I don't deny that there are very powerful female rappers in the market. But in competition programs, male rappers are still better, so I want to create a competition program about female rappers, so that the program team can give them a fair starting point!”

PD asked doubtfully: "Producing a female rapper? Does anyone watch such a show?"

"I'll go back and think about the planning of the show. I only have a preliminary idea in my head about how the show will unfold. I'll send it to you after I finish writing the plan. By the way, give me a business card. I need your email address. . Because I have to go to Tokyo in two days, and I still have work there. I may not return to Korea until December. If your channel confirms the production, I will send it to you by email. Will I come back for another meeting?”

.......

After coming out, Zhang Ping'an accidentally chose to go to the manager's "base" cafe. Because there are many TV stations in Sangam-dong, when the artist is filming the show, the managers gather in several cafes to exchange information with each other. This is not a secret. . Anyone who is a fan knows which cafes they can meet which artists’ managers.

Zhang Pingan appeared in the coffee shop, which made the surrounding agents widen their eyes. They wanted to come up to say hello one by one, but they saw Zhang Pingan frowning after entering the coffee shop, so No one dared to come up.

One of the agents whispered: "Why is Zhang Pingan here?"

"Who knows?"

An agent with knowledge of the matter said: "It is said that Zhang Pingan will attend tvN's program press conference this afternoon. tvN revealed that this program is jointly produced by Zhang Pingan and Luo Yingshi, and the program was planned by Zhang Pingan."

"It's amazing. Zhang Pingan's productions have been very popular recently, and now he is cooperating with PD Luo Yingshi. The premiere of this show is aimed at 5%, right?"

"Jang Pingan is really awesome. As a freelance producer, MBC even gave up prime time. And he also collaborated with tvN head PD Na Young-seok. Who will he collaborate with next time? Kim Tae-ho?"

""The Masked Singer" dominated the weekend's hot searches, and the average ratings of the show also jumped from 15%. If I were the director, I would be bold enough to give him prime time. "Living Alone" was originally planned to be produced One season, the second season is now being produced. I just heard that the advertising revenue of the first season of "Living Alone" made Zhang Pingan 10 billion, and that was only Wednesday. Think about it again. How many times will the advertising price during the weekend prime time period increase?”

"Manufacturers are rushing to buy it at a price that has increased fivefold. After all, the program produced by him is broadcast at the same time in China and South Korea. I am looking forward to what kind of program will be designed by the two big variety show producers?"

"Zhang Ping'an is responsible for the program outline, and the details are handled by Luo Yingshi's team."

While the agent was chatting with Zhang Pingan, he was typing something on his phone while drinking coffee.

"Jessi..." After Zhang Pingan said the name, he immediately called Sika: "Are you filming here?"

"Well, I'm watching Taeyeon and the others filming. Is anything wrong?"

"Give Pani the phone and I'll ask her for someone's number."

"Who are you asking?"

"Jessica, ah~~I'm talking about that Jessica Hu."

"Oh." Sika then handed the phone to Pani: "Zhang Pingan is looking for you."

Pani answered the phone and said, "What are you doing?"

"Send me Jessica's phone number."

"Eh?" "Jessica Hu." "Oh, why are you looking for her?"

"I have to find out more about her so that I can recommend her to a new show. Please send her her number."

"I know, I'll send it to you right away."

Jessica Hu is a very powerful female Rapper, and Zhang Ping'an was also quite impressed by her. She grew up in the United States and was deeply influenced by Western culture, and there is no pretense in her performances.

Just like when she was asked about Koreans in the show, she said that she and Pani and others were from the same school. When the host asked her how her relationship was with Jessica from Girls' Generation with the same name, she just said that she was in a relationship with Pani. Very good, this made the host catch the interesting point. Although the two people have the same name, her and Sika's personalities don't get along.

While waiting for Pani to send him his number, Zhang Pingan said hesitantly: "Do you want to produce that program?"

Zhang Ping'an actually has a favorite variety music program called "I See Your Voice" that he likes very much. This program combines comedy with ability. After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhang Pingan took out his phone and called Jin Jongguo: "Brother, where are you?"

"On the way to the gym..."

Isn’t that what Kim Jong Kook is? Not at the gym, just on the way to the gym, or on the way home after working out...
