My Entertainment Circle

In the investment department conference room, Zhang Ping'an, Writer Jin, Minister Jin, and this time the director Li Yingfu, gathered together. Zhang Ping'an held the outline of the work in his hand and started reading it. Although he had seen the finished product before, he hadn't even filmed it yet. Even if he is just pretending, he still has to pretend to be reading, right?

The conference room was very quiet. Writer Jin and Director Jin were waiting for Zhang Pingan to finish reading the outline of this work. A cup of hot coffee went cold after ten minutes. Zhang Pingan put down the outline of the work, took a sip of coffee and said: "The work is very good, but for the peacekeeping force, does it involve overseas filming? And? You have to choose a safe country. You can’t really go to Somalia or the Middle East, right?”

Writer Kim said with a smile: "Of course this won't happen. For the safety of the staff, we will also choose a safe country for filming. At present, our expected filming location is Europe and Eastern Europe."

"Greece is good, and Turkey is also good. We have to wait for your on-site inspection before we can decide, right?" Zhang Ping'an casually mentioned two good countries. Of course, he knew that the future choice would definitely be Greece... However, it was not enough to make a suggestion. It doesn't matter. After finishing speaking, he casually picked up the investment budget table handed to him by the director in front of him and read it.

When Zhang Ping'an picked up the budget, both Kim Eun-sook and the director became nervous. After all, this script has been rejected by many investment companies after it was written. Mainly because of the large investment and long cycle, many companies are not very willing to invest in the film, even though she is a very well-known writer.

But if 10 billion won is invested in the filming of a TV series in Korea at once... at least two dramas can be produced at the same time, at the same time!

Just because this drama involves overseas filming, there is no way to broadcast and film at the same time. In the end, writer and director Jin decided to maintain the quality of the work and simply produce it in advance so that the filming would not be so rushed. Although the shooting was not rushed, it became expensive to shoot. After all, when you stay overseas for one day, you have to maintain the food, accommodation, and overseas business trip wages for dozens of people in a crew.

Start shooting now. Once the shooting is completed and the editing is complete, it will take as little as a year! This is also the main reason why outside investment companies reject it!

Zhang Pingan looked at the budget and raised his eyebrows: "Preliminary estimate of 10 billion?"

The director said: "Well, we can only make a preliminary estimate at the moment. It may be about 123 in the final shooting. PD Zhang, we only need 10 billion won from you, and we will contact the manufacturer to discuss the rest. enter."

"Implantation? You don't have to worry about implantation. I will give you 13 billion won directly!" Zhang Ping'an said with a smile on his lips, because it is really too cheap for them to discuss implantation. Now that the copyright is in hand, it won't be so cheap for Zhang Ping'an to talk about implantation. Want to implant it into "Descendants of the Sun" for hundreds of millions of dollars? This is a TV series with a ratings of over 40!

Jin Enshu didn't expect that it would be so refreshing to invest in Zhang Ping'an? She was shocked. It seemed like he was planning to receive 13 billion in one go? This filming was so exciting for the crew! There is no need to worry about the capital chain of investors. It’s not like some investors, who suppress the salaries of the crew and actors and wait until a few months after the broadcast to pay them!

Even Minister Jin of the Investment Department was confused. He looked at Zhang Ping'an and said: "Representative, um... do you plan to settle the investment in one go? Not in installments?"

"Settlement is done in one go, so that the crew and actors will not be in a bad mood during filming. The money is in the accounts, and the crew pays their salaries on time every month. This gives the staff the greatest confidence! This way everyone will be motivated during filming! Don't do any filming. It has been several months and everyone’s wages have been delayed, which makes everyone unhappy at work.”

At this time, Zhang Pingan had 500 million Chinese coins in cash given by the principal.

Converted, this is a cash flow of 85 billion won!

His current investment is only in FNC and this TV series. He doesn't have much chance to use money on weekdays, so why is he saving all this money? Let the bank take my money and lend it out to make money?

Listening to Zhang Pingan's words, Minister Jin said: "But the company's accounts currently don't have 13 billion in cash. The total investment in SBS's variety show this time is 8 billion, without any advertising placement fees. M- Net's program is also worth 7 billion won. The investment for the two seasons of the program you collaborated with Na Young-seok is good, but the settlement date for the TV station on tvN has not yet been paid. It’s only settled once a quarter, and the fees for the first season of “Three Meals a Day” won’t be settled until next month!”

Currently, "I Live Alone" and "Masked" are making money for the company. However, all the money earned by these two programs was burned out at the end of this year. The company does not have so much liquid cash on its books.

Zhang Pingan said: "How much money does the company have?"

"There are still more than 2 billion in liquid cash." Minister Jin said awkwardly. When he said this, he looked at Writer Jin embarrassedly.

Just as Writer Kim was planning to agree to use 2 billion won to start filming, the rest of the money can be paid in installments, because everyone knows that Jang Pingan’s ‘B.H’ did make a lot of money in the production of the program last year. But the TV station hasn't settled the bill yet, and they can't come up with cash. Moreover, everyone is very aware of Zhang Pingan's investment at the end of the year. After all, the TV station made a promotional notice.

But at this time, Zhang Ping'an waved his hand and said: "In this way, I will transfer 13 billion won to the company as a cash reserve, and I will count it as a loan to the company. When tvN returns it to me after settlement, I will not take the company's money." Interest."

I'm confused. Writer Jin and Director are a little confused. There is such a person? Minister Jin was even more confused. He originally wanted to sign the contract according to the Korean model. Who knew that Zhang Ping'an would get the money directly when he opened his mouth? This is a bit... the style of Chinese tycoons. Well, he was originally a rich man in China!

Because when it comes to filming TV series in China, the funds are allocated in advance. Otherwise, who would film it for you? Without funds, artists won’t even sign contracts with you.

...

After the contract was signed, the copyright of the work became Zhang Ping'an's. Zhang Ping'an and Kim Eun-sook, the directors, shook hands respectively: "You should go on an on-site inspection as soon as possible. Our company will send a supervisor to follow you." (Producer: the person responsible for managing the crew's funds.)

Writer Kim smiled and said, "Okay, we will leave as soon as possible."

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "I'll thank you for the hard work next. Writer Jin, if you hope to have works in the future, please contact our company as soon as possible!"

Writer Jin nodded and responded: "Definitely, it was such a pleasure to work with Representative Zhang for the first time. I will definitely trouble you a lot in the future. And I haven't found an employer in Korea who is as cheerful as you. I will cooperate with you often!"

“Always cooperate!”

Kim Eun-sook and director Lee Eung-bok left, and they left happily. But Zhang Ping'an didn't know what kind of benefits his "cooperate often" would bring. Because right after "Descendants of the Sun", writer Kim Eun-sook and director Lee Eung-bok filmed another work called "The Lonely and Brilliant God-Goblin"! !

And everyone should know the value of these two works! But more people may be like Zhang Ping'an, who only know the works and don't know who the screenwriters, writers and directors of these two dramas are.

Watching them walk away, Zhang Pingan said boldly: "By the way, I forgot to mention the casting. Just...forget it?"

Minister Jin, standing next to Zhang Pingan, said: "Representative, are you planning to arrange someone?"

Zhang Ping'an stopped and said: "No, I'll let her go to the audition by herself. Ask the manufacturers outside if any of them wants to talk about implants? Let's take over this stall to talk about implants. Advertising starts from 1 billion won!”

"One billion?" Minister Jin thought he had a hearing problem. He had never heard of an implant selling for one billion.

Zhang Pingan nodded and said: "Well, one billion, starting price is one billion! Tell the manufacturer that we can sign a betting agreement. If the ratings of this work cannot reach 30%, we will not charge any money! We will do implants for them for free. ! But when the viewership reaches '30', it starts from one billion, and for every one percentage point increase, the implantation cost increases by 50 million won!"

Minister Kim said: "The viewership rating is 30%? It means that the drama "Star You" is so popular, but it did not even reach 30% in the 'AGB' (a professional organization that surveys viewership ratings) survey!"

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "If you don't reach it, then just think that I gave them free implants! What a big deal. If you reach it, won't you make a lot of money? When investing, don't you have to be bolder? I Investing 13 billion won in a TV series, and asking for hundreds of millions of dollars in production fees?”

"Representative, you are talking about implantation in this way of gambling. I estimate that implantation will fill up the TV series. This will greatly affect the quality of the work!"

The implication of Minister Kim’s words is that now that the TV drama market has been so heavily impacted by the Internet, everyone knows that it is impossible to achieve a ‘30%’ ratings. If we really want to sign a 30% betting agreement, manufacturers will definitely line up.

"Yes, too many will affect the look and feel of the work. When the time comes, you will ask the producer and the writer to discuss how many implants can be accommodated in the drama? You will definitely need a car. Mobile phones, drinks, wine, and cosmetics can all be included! Implants The problem is left to you, remember to sign the betting agreement for 30% ratings, starting from one billion won! I have to go to TV..."

Zhang Ping'an is not afraid of the betting agreement with 30% ratings. It's possible that to outsiders, he was simply crazy about money, which is why he offered such a condition. But he himself knows very well how valuable this play is!
