The meeting of the TV drama bureau ended unhappily. The PDs of SBS TV station felt very insulted that the agency had inexplicably found a foreigner to guide their work. They reacted very fiercely and directly expressed their dissatisfaction. The situation in other bureaus was similar.
Even if Song Youxian didn't appear again, his performance was very obvious, and the look he looked at Qianhara Rinto was full of doubt and disdain - our grades are not very good, but we have our dignity, and we don't need you to bother us.
Jin Xiumei observed silently all the way, thinking about how she would deal with this situation if she were Qianhara Rinto.
It might be a good idea to walk away, so that the company will put pressure even for the sake of face, and the TV headquarters will be forced to repair the PDs in the production center, at least to make them start to cooperate on the surface.
Of course, it would be better if he could shake his body, be full of domineering aura, and use words to convince these PDs in an understatement.
But to her disappointment, Chihara Rinto did nothing. His eyes were dull to indifferent all the way, as if he was watching a farce. When encountering a situation with a relatively good attitude, he would also say a few words to show off his attitude.
If it's a bad situation, they just don't say a word and just communicate with the staff they lead.
After he had gone through all the bureaus of the SBS production center, he simply went into the office with his lunch and started looking at the ratings report and various aspects of the production center's information.
Park Xianming was a little embarrassed and left quickly. However, Jin Xiumei stayed with him, but his expectations for Chihara Rinto had been lowered by more than half - this person did not have the support of the backbone of the production center, and it seemed that he was expected to open up the ratings.
It should be impossible. The board of directors really made a bad move this time.
Fortunately, Kanto United still has many high-quality programs, so we won't suffer any loss if we exchange them for golf programs.
She felt that all Qianhara Rinto could do now was read the information, write a written report, put forward some suggestions for rectification of the production center, and then hang out here for a while and then go back home - as a foreigner, playing away games, life is not in the same place.
It's understandable that it's difficult to use if you're familiar with it, but you can't blame him entirely if you can't open up a situation.
However, while she was drinking barley tea there, she suddenly noticed that Rinto Chihara had a smile on his lips while reading the report, and she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Teacher Chihara, do you have any thoughts?"
Chihara Rinto couldn't help but smile when he saw that in SBS's ratings summary for the past year, the time-sharing average of the program with the highest ratings was only 16.21%, and the overall average was only 9.03%.
This is the golden age of TV programs. The average ratings of only 9 is really embarrassing. Although the new TV station is excusable, I don’t know how those PDs have the confidence to think that they are awesome with such results.
The cross reaches the sky, and no help is needed at all. It is indeed a stick. On the one hand, the stick refers to the mallet, that is, ginseng, which is abundant in Korea. On the other hand, the word stick also means stupid and ignorant, and it is used in Korea.
It’s really vivid on people, and I didn’t know who came up with it before.
He couldn't help but smile knowingly, but he couldn't say it directly to Kim Soo-mi, a Korean. To be honest, it would be easy to get beaten at the least, and it would affect the cooperative relationship between the two companies at the worst. It was very inappropriate.
He could only smile and shake his head: "Nothing, nothing."
Jin Xiumei always felt that his smile was a bit weird, but it was not convenient for her to continue asking. She hesitated and smiled: "You must have thought of something interesting. I thought you would be in a bad mood."
Qianhara Rinto asked strangely: "In a bad mood? Why am I in a bad mood?"
"Just now Song PD and the others..."
Qianhara Rinto suddenly said: "Well, there's nothing to be angry about." After a pause, he looked at the puzzled look on Jin Xiumei's face and explained with a smile, "It's useless to be angry. In our profession, there is a thousand things to say.
Wan, in the end, results have to speak for themselves. As long as the results are achieved, they will have to accept it even if they don't agree with it. If the results are not achieved, they will not be convinced even if they say it orally, so... there is really no need."
Just now, he could have used the situation to pressure others, such as losing his temper on the spot and accusing the SBS production center of not cooperating with the overall strategic plan of the two TV stations, but that would not solve the fundamental problem, and it would also easily make SBS executives look down on him and waver in the cooperation between the two parties.
Confidence - can't even deal with a bunch of green-headed PDs? So can this person do it? Did we hire the wrong person?
It's not easy to use your situation to pressure others, and you don't need to use your situation to pressure others. Just producing results is enough.
Ratings are the lifeblood of a TV station. Nothing can solve the problem better and faster than getting high ratings. As long as a top program is produced, Song Youxian's ignorant people are not worth mentioning at all, and they may not even be used at that time.
If he dares to show any dissatisfaction with anything he says, the station director will come over at the speed of light and beat him to death himself.
Isn’t this a hundred times better than losing your temper and taking advantage of the situation to pressure others?
Chihara Rinto said it very lightly and was very confident about her performance. After all, she had a drama in hand and she didn't feel panic. This made Kim Soo-mi stunned - this is the confidence of a strong person, right?
Only those with high skills can be bold and not so arrogant that they don't bother to argue. This man is a bit like that.
It feels...a bit amazing.
Anyway, he seems to be much better than someone like Song Youxian.
She couldn't find anything to say for a moment and fell silent. Chihara Rinto ignored her and continued to look through the information, slowly confirming it.
The program format of SBS is basically copied from KBS and MBC, or it should be said that it is imitating. This is not a big problem. People who are new to the industry basically imitate the forerunners, but the artists that KBS and MBC can connect with are not the same as SBS.
In terms of levels, when compared with each other, SBS appears to be particularly poor.
Ultimately, this problem lies in the fact that SBS's production center is too young and does not have the support of well-known artists - artists also need to develop. Except for low-level bastards and newcomers who may come to SBS to make some money, as long as they are somewhat famous, take a look
The ratings and response of SBS are enough. Of course, programs from KBS and MBC will be given priority.
Then, the ratings of SBS's programs naturally become even worse, and the artists are even less willing to come. Even if the premium is high, they have to weigh it repeatedly. It has become a vicious circle - even if a well-known artist is lured in at a big price, it is still a waste of money.
Big money for small things, very low cost performance.
If we want to open up the situation, we must break this vicious cycle, boost the momentum of SBS, and let artists look at SBS seriously and regain confidence.
Chihara Rinto sat there for more than two hours. Except for turning pages to get documents, he didn't move his buttocks. He was thinking very focused. After straightening out his thoughts, he started to study the hardware of SBS again, but he looked at it.
Feeling strange, I raised my head and hesitated. I felt it would be easier to communicate with Jin Xiumei, who knew Japanese, so I asked directly: "Is the information incomplete? Why is there no screenwriter in the personnel list?"
Kim Soo-mi is not a PD, but she works in a TV station, so she still knows common sense. She quickly explained: "Korean TV stations do not have a scriptwriting staff. The scriptwriters are hired by the PDs themselves."
"No?" Chihara Rinto was a little unbelievable for a moment, "Do you need to hire yourself to do the show?"
"Yes." Jin Xiumei confirmed, and then started to educate Chihara Rinto.
Korean TV stations do not hire "writers" or screenwriters in the production center. They are all temporary employees. There are historical reasons for this.
Korean TV programs were initially produced by PDs, who were directors, producers and screenwriters. They wrote their own scripts, contacted actors and guests, managed filming, and were even responsible for post-editing. But with the development of the times, the tastes of the audience have changed.
The competition for ratings is becoming more and more fierce, and these PDs who wear multiple hats are becoming overwhelmed.
As a result, some bright-minded PDs began to think of crooked tricks.
For example, the writing work is a bit complicated. Can you find a student to work part-time to help me handle it?
Another example is that my inspiration has dried up. Do I need to find someone to help me come up with ideas?
For another example, the lines are always a bit stiff, how about finding a liberal arts student to help polish them?
The fierce competition environment has led to a detailed division of labor, which is inevitable in any industry. PDs really feel that they need someone to be responsible for handling text work, but the problem is that there is no salary limit for screenwriters in the production budget. What should they do?
Then we have to hire female students or housewives to do odd jobs!
South Korea has never had a women's liberation movement. The atmosphere of male superiority and female inferiority is very strong. Hiring women is super cheap and you can call them here and there. By the way, it can also solve the problem that the crew is too busy and it is difficult for the staff to find wives. This seems to be
More cost-effective.
So in the early 1980s, Korean TV stations began to hire young women to work on the crew, and let these young women be responsible for filling in the content and improving the details based on the original scripts.
But new ideas that are well received by TV programs are rare. When everyone’s program formats are similar, the details begin to determine success or failure. Korean PDs quickly discovered that women’s unique and delicate perspectives are of great help to the program, and some ideas from a female perspective are also very helpful to the TV show.
It is quite novel for the audience. As a result, these female screenwriters have become more and more important in the crew, but no matter how important they are, they are still temporary workers. The wages are meager and the benefits cannot be guaranteed. Sometimes, it often happens that unscrupulous PDs plagiarize their ideas and drive them away.
.
In the early 1990s, the screenwriters couldn't stand it anymore and organized a large-scale strike, which almost halted more than half of the TV series and 85% of the variety shows at that time. Then they forced the TV stations and PDs to compromise and established the role of screenwriters.
Labor security system.
As for the fact that there are still no screenwriters on Korean TV stations, that is because a cooperation mechanism has been formed. When PDs are going to make programs, they rely on their own connections to find a big screenwriter, and this big screenwriter will bring his own team, that is, he will bring his own
The school girls came to work on the set, and after finishing their work, they left collectively and went to other sets.
In the end, it became what it is now. There are male PDs and female screenwriters (writers), and PDs are mostly responsible for handling all preparations and broadcast-related matters. On the contrary, female screenwriters have begun to take control of the creative power. After writing the script, they can also control the filming.
Pointing fingers is equivalent to an alternative screenwriter responsibility system.
After Kim Soo-mi finished popularizing science, Chihara Rinto felt a little enlightened. No wonder SBS would try their best to imitate KBS and MBC programs. It turns out that not only can they not find well-known artists, they can't even find excellent screenwriters. Naturally, their level of innovation is not good.
You can only do what you want to see others do.
He really didn't expect that SBS didn't have its own screenwriter team, and it didn't even have a small screenwriter, which was a bit embarrassing.
It sounds like Korean screenwriters are a team. They all have a chief screenwriter with more than ten years of experience, two or three structural screenwriters with more than five years of experience, and six or seven detailed screenwriters who have just joined the industry. They all work together.
, come and go together, it is difficult for people to form a team of screenwriters by themselves - he will definitely be the main creative screenwriter, but other main creative screenwriters will not give up the team to him, that is one of their livelihood costs.
There are very few screenwriters who understand Korean in Kanto United, and there are certainly no Koreans who have a deep understanding of Korean society. They cannot handle the details alone, so they must still focus on local screenwriters.
