My Entertainment Circle

After hanging up Li Zhien's phone, Zhang Ping'an walked towards the variety show bureau upstairs while constantly looking at the 'contacts' on his phone. Because Li Zhien wanted to buy a potato chip that was out of stock everywhere on the market, Zhang Ping'an didn't know who to look for. Because there is no one who makes food among his contacts, but there are quite a few people who make food. But he really didn't know anyone who made this type of snack food.

Of course, among the contacts on Zhang Pingan's mobile phone, there must be someone who can help him buy potato chips. But if he disturbed such a big shot because of such a trivial matter, would this be something that he would be extremely stupid to do?

Finally, Zhang Pingan found someone who should be able to help him buy potato chips. He smiled and dialed his phone: "PD Luo, are you busy?"

Luo Yingshi, the head program producer of tvN, Zhang Pingan, felt that he could definitely help him buy this potato chip. Because when he was filming the show, many businesses came to talk about implanted sponsorships, including the "Three Meals a Day" they are now collaborating on, which also has implanted sponsorships, and the drinks used in the show are implanted. Entered. And the price of implantation is not low.

So Zhang Ping'an thought that if Luo Yingshi was asked, he would definitely help buy some out-of-stock potato chips. Although asking a super producer like Luo Yingshi is overkill, it is still much better than going to the other contacts.

When Luo Yingshi saw the call from Zhang Ping'an, he immediately joked: "I thought it was who it was, but it turned out to be PD Zhang who disappeared. What happened today? Why did you remember to call me?"

Zhang Ping'an supervised the production of two episodes of "Three Meals" and then stopped following it. The follow-up filming of the entire show was followed up by Luo Yingshi's PD team. Even if the planning of the show is done by Zhang Ping'an, as the chief PD of the show, Luo Yingshi thinks that even if he doesn't come to every episode, he should follow the team from time to time, right? Rather than being such a complete hands-off shopkeeper!

Zhang Ping'an didn't expect that Luo Yingshi's first sentence would be to express his dissatisfaction in such a joking way. He said apologetically: "Well... I'm really sorry for everyone. After the filming of this quarter, I will treat everyone to a big meal to apologize. Mainly I was thinking about a new program recently, so I found a relatively quiet place to do the planning. ”

After hearing Zhang Ping'an's apology, Luo Yingshi let him go. Then PD Luo said: "The TV station over there also sent me the plan for your new program. "Kan Sheng" is indeed a very interesting program. As a music variety show, writer Li Youzhen praised the program you conceived as very interesting and reversible.”

As the top program producer of 'CJ Entertainment', Luo Yingshi would definitely show it to him and Li Youzhen after getting the plan to see the feasibility of the program. This is not surprising.

"Thank you, that's a compliment. I called today because I have something to ask PD Luo.

Recently there is a honey butter flavored potato chip, do you know? "

"I know, they are out of stock everywhere, and because the supply exceeds demand, these potato chips are very popular on SNS. Are you calling because you want me to buy potato chips for you?" Luo Yingshi quickly guessed Zhang The meaning of a sudden call from peace.

"Yes, I wanted to ask if you could buy me some potato chips here?"

Luo Yingshi agreed without hesitation: "Okay, how many do you want? I can take up to twenty or thirty pieces. Do you want to give them to Girls' Generation?"

He thought Zhang Pingan bought these potato chips to give to Girls' Generation. Because there were so many of them, even if he helped Zhang Pingan get twenty or thirty pieces, they wouldn't have too many in their hands.

Zhang Ping'an didn't say who he was giving it to. He just said, "Just thirty pieces. How about I pick them up tomorrow?"

"I'll get back to you after contacting you and see if it will be sent directly to your company tomorrow, or what?"

"Anything is fine, you can also send it to my company." After getting the potato chips, Zhang Pingan was relieved. This is the first time Li Zhien has asked him to do something, and he will definitely help her do it.

Now I don’t know if twenty or thirty pieces are enough, because these snacks will have antiseptic gas injected into the pocket when they are packaged, so there are not many bags in one piece.

After talking about the potato chips, Luo Yingshi said: "By the way, about the variety show "New Journey to the West" you told me about last time, writer Li Youzhen and I think it can be filmed."

"Can your TV station broadcast it?" Because it involves some specific characters, such as the 'tax evader man' and the 'gambler man', it takes a process to directly put it on the screen.

Luo Yingshi replied: "We will produce a season to test the water for the time being and broadcast it on your live broadcast platform first. As for the Korean side, we will join forces with 'N station'? Mainly let 'N station' help broadcast the program ”

"How about we formally discuss the specific shooting of this program after the Spring Festival? Because my live broadcast platform may enter the Korean market during the Spring Festival, and it will be the same if it can be broadcast directly on my platform. Anyway, in terms of revenue sharing, We will still divide it according to the current five-on-five.”

"Okay, let's discuss it formally after the Spring Festival."

.......

After hanging up the phone with Luo Yingshi, Zhang Pingan also came to the SBS Variety Show Bureau floor. His sudden appearance surprised everyone working inside. The director of the "RM" program team, "Power PD", saw Zhang Ping'an and came over on his own initiative: "Zhang PD, hello, why are you here as a guest at our SBS today?"

Because Zhang Pingan has a very good relationship with the members of his program team in private, Power PD did not treat Zhang Pingan politely, he just came up to chat.

Zhang Pingan shook hands with the PD and said: "Hello, Power PD. I came here today to see if I can cooperate with SBS."

PD Zhang looked at him in surprise and said, "Oh? PD Zhang, you want to cooperate with our station? This is a very honorable thing. The programs produced by PD Zhang are very topical now. Especially you The weekend's "Masked" stole all the ratings of our "RM"."

Since the launch of Zhang Pingan's program, it has formed a direct relationship with "RM". Whether it is the weekend's topicality or the current ratings, Zhang Pingan's "Masked" firmly guards the first place in the ratings at the same time. Rate. After his program aired, when Kim Jong Kook and Ha Dong Hoon sent him congratulatory messages, they would also express strong complaints at the same time.

Zhang Ping'an smiled awkwardly and waved his hands and said, "Where is it? "RM" is very popular throughout Asia."

Speaking of the popularity of the program overseas, this made Mi PD even more distressed and said: "The program's good performance overseas actually does not mean much to the program team and the TV station. Because the main income of the program still depends on domestic revenue. Advertisers, it's a pity that the domestic ratings of our programs are not very good. Even if the program sells overseas broadcast rights, the one-year copyright price cannot be as high as that of the TV series. The platform earns more than our TV station in one year.”

Indeed, for example, a Chinese video website has now purchased the exclusive rights to broadcast "RM" in China. The income from advertising fees alone has allowed that platform to make more money than the program team.

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "Your program is so popular overseas that it has become a burden."

Power PD sighed bitterly: "No, just because it is so popular, we are a little overwhelmed when facing such single-digit ratings. We feel reluctant to part with the program after it is cancelled; but if it is not cancelled, the domestic The ratings are too bad, and the program team can’t make much money at all. Moreover, the competition for variety show broadcast time on weekends is increasing, and I want our program team to adjust the broadcast time.”

The pressure on the ratings of top weekend variety shows is not ordinary. The former ace is now at the bottom of the three major channels. As the PD of the show, the pressure that Power PD is under is understandable.

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "I understand, but who among the current producers is not under huge pressure for ratings? I am also under a lot of pressure, and I am also an investor. The ratings of the program directly affect My return on investment. By the way, is the director here?"

What Zhang Pingan said is true. Today's producers are under great pressure, whether it is a variety show or a TV series.

"Yes, let's go, I'll take you there."

Power PD, after a brief chat with Zhang Pingan, took him to the office.

The director looked at Zhang Pingan who was brought in by the powerful PD. He was stunned for several seconds. Zhang Ping'an is the most popular freelance producer at the moment. He came to visit their TV station today. Does this mean that there is a possibility of cooperation between them in the future?

Director Li, after greeting Zhang Ping'an and sitting in the reception area, he asked his secretary to prepare two cups of coffee.

The director took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Ping'an and then asked: "PD Zhang came to our station today. Is there anything good that he wants to take care of us?"

"I have been planning a program recently, and I would like to ask if your station is interested in cooperating with us."

SBS was also looking forward to cooperating with Zhang Pingan, so the director didn't hesitate and asked directly: "What type of program?"

"Food show. Food broadcasts have become so popular recently, and various food shows have been launched one after another. I am just joining in the fun, but my show is not about introducing gourmet restaurants..."

Of course the director knows that food-related programs are very popular recently, and they are indeed considering producing food programs, but they have never come up with a good program plan. After all, there are too many programs on the market that introduce food restaurants.

So at this time, Zhang Pingan said that he had a good program idea, and when he was not introducing a gourmet restaurant, the director finally became curious. He also wanted to see what Zhang Pingan, a well-known producer, planned. food show?
