Chapter 698 Simultaneous appearance?
"Oh, Mikyung, you!"
"Yes, I'm sorry! Former, senior, please listen to my explanation first!"
He quickly waved his hand and stopped Park Ji-eun's subconscious move to stand up. Bai Mei-kyung's cheeks turned red and he said stammeringly: "In fact, senior, you two, think about it... Senior Yang and I have already finalized the script. No matter how much we modify it, the quality cannot be improved, right?"
"……so what?"
Raising his hands crossed his arms, Park Ji-eun sat on the sofa, looking at Bai Mi-kyung with a bad look on his face, "So you want to steal my people?"
"Ah, senior, I..."
"Wow, OK, Sister Ji'en."
A helpless smile appeared on his handsome face. Han Yu turned to look at Park Ji-eun, who looked angry, and said with some amusement, "Let's listen to the white screenwriter finish his words first."
After saying that, he turned around and turned his eyes to Bai Meijing, who was standing in front of the two of them, looked at her with a scrutiny, and then continued to speak softly: "So, why did you think of inviting me to be your male lead again?"
"I will make this request to actor Han, really have my own reasons..."
Perhaps Han Yu's gentle attitude slightly relieved Bai Mi-kyung's nervous mood. After Park Ji-eun was temporarily relieved by Han Yu, she took a deep breath again and spoke smoothly.
"I have thought it through before. The problem that the TV station is considering now is actually not the advantages and disadvantages of the script. There is only one reason why the TV station suddenly changes its mind, that is, they think "Endong" tells a sad love story, and are worried that it will be uncompetitive compared to "Producer" or other TV series of the same class."
"Well...you're right."
Although Bai Meijing was still a little quiet after hearing this, after a clear analysis, Han Yu showed a look of contemplation on his face and nodded slightly in agreement.
The fact that Bai Meijing said is actually not difficult to imagine.
In South Korea, in addition to the three major stations, there are many cable TV stations established with private funds, such as JTBC, tvN, and OCN, which are among the best ones.
TV stations like this are born purely under the influence of interests, and often pay more attention to the success or failure of a TV series than wireless stations.
As we all know, the most fundamental difference between Korean cable TV and wireless TV is that the former is for free viewing, while the latter is for free.
Therefore, as a cable TV station that needs to be charged, JTBC is naturally much more cautious in terms of broadcasting series than MBC and KBS, which has background and free wireless TV stations.
This is one of the reasons why many cable TV stations are keen on filming golden and earth dramas.
Compared with weekdays, the Golden Earth drama scheduled for Friday and Saturday nights obviously means more audience base.
As for why you don’t just shoot weekend dramas, one is that weekend dramas in Korea often require more than fifty episodes to be filmed - this approach is to consider from a long-term perspective. A golden period like weekend will make longer films more audience adhesion, but for cable channels, the longer the series is, the greater the risk you have to take.
The second reason is that the weekend drama schedule is occupied by the three major platforms, and the cable TV does not have enough confidence and there is no need to compete with the three major platforms.
Of course, this statement is not absolute. For example, OCN TV station in cable Taichung is one of the few types of cable Taichung who like to produce weekend mini dramas.
Compared with the three major stations, the cable stations have different business policies due to different backgrounds, and there are TV stations that focus on various schedules.
In short, because JTBC's dramas are mainly concentrated in the Jintu drama period, only when they heard that KBS decided to set the male lead of "Producer" as Han Yu, JTBC's people would immediately become nervous.
Originally, the schedule of Jintu Drama was blank. JTBC only needed to compete with a few cable TV stations. However, he didn't expect that KBS, as three major TV stations, is now thinking about sharing a piece of cake.
Of course, let alone JTBC, other cable stations may not feel much better after hearing this news.
It’s not necessarily because he is afraid of Han Yu, nor does it mean that in JTBC’s eyes, Han Yu, the newly popular male actor, is more powerful than Kim Soo Hyun, the TV Emperor. It’s just that Han Yu himself has been popular for this period of time, and no one can guarantee whether KBS will take advantage of the ratings after he appears in a new drama.
In case of failure, such consequences are not something JTBC is willing to see.
Although Bai Meijing's words just now were direct, they were also very realistic.
From JTBC's perspective, they don't care whether the script is good or bad, they only care about the ratings.
Whoever can win more ratings will get the schedule.
"So, since I can't start from the script, I thought about whether I can solve the problem from another perspective."
Han Yu's nodding seemed to give Bai Meijing a lot of confidence. A look of excitement surged on her little face, which had been very nervous before. She raised her hand and held the glasses on her nose. Her eyes were slightly brighter and she looked at Han Yu in front of her, and said carefully: "What the TV station is worried about is the ratings, but the ratings of a drama are not just based on the script. There are many factors involved, such as the director, the behind-the-scenes production staff, and... the actors."
As soon as he heard Bai Meijing's words, his deep eyes couldn't help but squint a little, and Han Yu completely understood the reason why Bai Meijing had just made such a request to him.
After all, Bai Meijing just wanted to take advantage of the situation.
In terms of the production of Korean TV series, the success factor is basically composed of three: script, actor, and director.
The last point often takes up very little component, and the first two are more important.
Although everyone will say that TV series wins with plots, in fact, everyone knows that sometimes, a "good actor" may save all disadvantages.
For JTBC, Han Yu is undoubtedly a good choice now.
They don’t care whether Han Yu is suitable for the drama "Endong". The only thing they are interested in is Han Yu’s current popularity.
You know, Han Yu is not just a popular male actor now, but his sister is also a member of the national group Girls' Generation Lin Yuna. Such an artist can almost be said to be a famous artist with two people. It is a rare person to attract popularity for any drama.
So Bai Meijing's proposal is really likely to solve the current dilemma that "Endong" has suffered.
only……
"Oh, this is impossible! I don't agree!"
He simply slapped the table with the script, and Park Ji-eun stood up suddenly and frowned at Bai Mi-kyung.
Of course, Han Yu understood what he understood.
Bai Meijing's idea is correct in terms of fundamental purpose, but it is too unrealistic for the reality.
"Ah, Mikyo... I originally regarded you as a junior whom I love very much, so I was willing to give you the last work of Sister Yi Shi to create. As a result, are you coming to fight me now?"
Seeing the obvious strong anger in Park Ji-eun's face, Bai Mi-kyung's cheeks suddenly turned red again. He quickly raised his hand and waved it, looking like he was about to cry anxiously, and said stutteringly: "Ah, I, senior, I am not..."
"Okay! Whether you intentional or not!"
He waved his hand impatiently and directly interrupted what Bai Mi-kyung wanted to explain. Park Ji-eun pursed his lips tightly, then he continued to say with a calm face: "First of all! The age of the male protagonist in the drama "Eun Dong" does not match Xiaoyu's age, and the roles are not suitable. So, aren't you let Xiaoyu play it just for his popularity? Mi-kyung, do you think this is apt?! Secondly! Xiaoyu has already agreed to star in "Producer"! Do you think what you said is feasible?!"
"I, I..."
"What do I do? Or do you really want to compete with me for the male lead?!"
"I, I, I am not..."
"Okay, Sister Ji-eun, sit down and say it carefully."
Looking at Bai Mi-kyung's little face, which turned slightly white under Park Ji-eun's series of scoldings, Han Yu shook his head helplessly and said something.
"Huh! Alas... I'm really angry..."
"Then, that..."
At this time, Bai Mi-kyung, who was hunching his head with his head down under Park Ji-eun's glaring, raised his hand timidly, as if he was afraid that he would be interrupted by Park Ji-eun again, and spoke quickly and said a sentence in a low voice:
"In fact... Korean actors can star in two dramas together."
moment.
Han Yu and the other two looked at Bai Meijing, who looked cautious, with their eyes stunned and weird.
