My entertainment circle

In the conference room of the Investment Department, Zhang Pingan, writer Jin, Minister Jin, and this time director Li Yingfu, the four gathered together.Zhang Pingan took the outline of the work and looked at it. Although he has seen the finished product'before', he hasn't shot it yet.Even if he pretends, he should pretend to read, right?

The meeting room was very quiet, and writer Jin and director both waited for Zhang Ping An to finish reading the outline of this work.A cup of hot coffee cooled down after ten minutes. Zhang Ping’an put down the outline of the work and took a sip of coffee and said, “The work is very good, but for peacekeeping forces, does it involve overseas shooting? And You have to choose a safe country. It's impossible to tell you what to go to Somalia, the Middle East or something?"

Writer Kim smiled and said: "Of course it won't. For the safety of our staff, we will also choose a safe country to shoot. At present, we expect the shooting location in our minds to be in Europe and Eastern Europe."

"Greece is not bad, and Turkey is not bad. You don't have to wait for you to make a decision after field inspection, right?" Zhang Ping'an casually mentioned two good countries. Of course, he knew that the future choice would be Greece.. However, it is also possible to suggest. It's ok.After speaking, he picked up the investment budget sheet handed to him by the previous director and looked at 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 since it was written, mainly because of the large investment and the long cycle, so many companies are not very willing to shoot, even though she is a very well-known writer.

But if you invest 10 billion won in a one-time investment to film a TV series in South Korea, at least you can produce two dramas at the same time, at the same time!

Because this drama involves the part of overseas filming, there is no way to broadcast it while filming.In the end, the writer and director decided to maintain the quality of the work, and simply came to make it in advance, so that the shooting would not be so rushed.Although the shooting was not in time, it became a waste of money.After all, if you spend a day overseas, you have to maintain the food, accommodation, and salary of dozens of people in a crew.

Start shooting now, and when the shooting is over, the editing is done, and the time can be as little as one year!This is also the main reason for rejection by outside investment companies!

Zhang Ping'an raised his eyebrows when he looked at the budget: "The initial estimate is 10 billion?"

The director said: "Well, we can only make a preliminary estimate at the moment, and it is possible that the final shooting will reach about 123. Zhang PD, we only need 10 billion won with you, and we will contact the manufacturer to discuss the rest In."

"Implant? I don't need to worry about implantation. I will directly give you 13 billion won!" Zhang Ping'an said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, because it is really cheap to let them talk about implantation.Now that the copyright is in his hands, Zhang Ping’an will not be so cheap to talk about implantation. Hundreds of millions of won want to be implanted in "Descendants of the Sun"?This is a TV series that has broken 40 ratings!

Jin Eun-sook didn't expect to invest in Zhang Ping An's place so easily?She was stunned. It seemed that he was planning to pay 13 billion in one go?To the crew of this filming, it's really crooked!There is no need to worry about patting the investor’s capital chain.It's not like some investors, who press on the salary of the crew and actors and wait a few months after the broadcast to be paid!

Even the Minister Jin of the Investment Department was dumbfounded. He looked at Zhang Ping An and said, "Representative, that... are you planning to settle the investment in one go? No installments?"

"Clear it at one time, so that the crew and actors are not in a good mood when shooting. The money is in the accounts, and the crew pays monthly salaries on time. This is to give the staff the greatest confidence! This way everyone is motivated to shoot! Don’t do anything about shooting. After a few months, everyone’s wages are still dragging on, so everyone will be upset at work."

At this time, Zhang Ping'an had the cash of 500 million Chinese currency given by the principal, exchanged it, this is 85 billion won in cash flow!

His current investment is only FNC, and this TV series.He doesn't have the opportunity to spend much money on weekdays, so why do he save the money?Let the bank take my money out to lend money?

Listening to Zhang Ping’an’s words, Minister Jin said: “But there is currently no 13 billion in cash in the company’s accounts. The total investment in SBS' variety shows this time is 8 billion, and there is no advertising placement fee. M- Net shows up to 7 billion won. The show you and Luo Yingshi PD have invested in two seasons is 6.2 billion. Although the income of the show is good, tvN has not yet settled to us. The TV station’s settlement day It is only settled once in a quarter, and the quarter after the broadcast ends! The cost of the first season of "Three Hours, Three Meals" will not be settled until next month!"

At present, the companies that are making profits are "I Live Alone" and "Masked", but the money made by these two shows was all burned out at the end of this year, and the company did not have so much liquid cash on its books.

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

"There are still more than two billion cash flow." Minister Jin said embarrassingly. When he said this, he looked at writer Jin embarrassedly.

Just as writer Kim planned to agree to use 2 billion won as the start of the filming, the rest of the money should be paid in installments, because everyone knows that Zhang Ping’an’s'B.H' did make a lot of money in the production of the show last year.But the TV station hasn't done the settlement yet, and they can't get the cash.And at the end of the year, Zhang Pingan's investment is very clear to everyone, after all, the TV station has made a publicity announcement.

But at this moment, Zhang Ping An waved his hand and said, "In this way, I will transfer 13 billion won to the company as a cash reserve, counted as I lent it to the company. After tvN settles, I will return it to me. Interest."

I'm confused, writer Kim and director are a little confused, but there are such people?Minister Kim was even more confused. He originally wanted to sign a contract according to the South Korean model. Who knew Zhang Ping'an would directly pay for the account?This is a bit of the style of a Chinese rich man.Well, he was originally a rich man in China!

Because Huaxia filmed TV series or something, the funds were all in place in advance, otherwise who would film it for you?Without funds, the artist doesn't even sign with you.

...

After the contract was over, the copyright of the work became Zhang Pingan's.Zhang Pingan and Jin Eunshu, the director, shook hands separately: "Go to the site as soon as possible on your side. Our company will send a producer to follow you." (Producer: the person responsible for managing the film crew.)

Writer Kim said with a smile: "Okay, we will leave as soon as possible."

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "Next, I will work hard for you. Writer Jin, I hope that there will be works in the future, please contact our company as soon as possible!

Writer Kim nodded and replied: "Yes, the first time working with Representative Zhang is so pleasant, and I will definitely trouble you a lot in the future. And I still can't find you in Korea with such a refreshing capital, often cooperate!"

"Cooperate often!"

Kim Eun-sook and director Lee Ying-fu left, and left happily.But Zhang Pingan didn't know what kind of benefits his phrase "often cooperation" would bring.Because after "Descendants of the Sun", writer Kim Eun-sook and director Lee Young-bok immediately shot another work called "Lonely and Brilliant God-Ghost"!!

And the value of these two works... everyone should know!But more people may be the same as Zhang Pingan, only knowing the works, but not knowing who the screenwriter and director of these two plays are.

Seeing them walking away, Zhang Ping'an said, "By the way, I forgot to talk about casting. That's it.. forget it?"

Minister Jin standing next to Zhang Ping'an said, "Representative, who are you going to arrange?"

Zhang Ping’an stopped and said, “No, I’ll let her audition by herself when the time comes. You can ask the outside manufacturers, is there anyone who wants to talk about implants? We took this booth to talk and told them, Zhi Zhi From 1 billion won in advertising!"

"Billions?" Minister Jin thought that he had a hearing problem. He has not heard of implants sold for one billion.

Zhang Ping’an nodded and said, “Well, one billion, the starting price is one billion! Tell the manufacturer that we can sign a gambling agreement. If the ratings of this work cannot reach 30%, we won’t receive any money! Implant them for free! ! But when it reaches the '30' ratings, that is one billion, and for every one percentage point increase, the implantation cost will increase by 50 million won!"

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

Zhang Ping’an smiled and said: “If I don’t reach it, then I will give them implants for free! What a big deal. If it reaches it, don’t you make a profit? Invest, don’t you just have to be bolder? A TV drama with an investment of 13 billion won, and a few hundred million in implantation? I am short of several hundred million in production costs?"

"Representative, you talk about implantation in this way of gambling. I guess implantation will fill up the TV series. This affects the quality of the work too much!"

The implication of Minister Kim is that now that the TV drama market is so impacted by the Internet, everyone knows that it is impossible to achieve a '30%' ratings.If you really want to sign a 30% betting agreement, the manufacturers will definitely line up.

"Yes. Too much affects the look and feel of the work. At that time, you will ask the producer to discuss with the writer how many implants can be accommodated in the show? You definitely need a car, mobile phones, drinks, alcohol, and cosmetics are all available! Implanted I leave it to you, remember to sign the gambling agreement. 30% ratings, starting from one billion won! Going, I have to go to TV..."

Zhang Ping An is not afraid of the 30% gambling agreement.It may seem to people outside that he is simply thinking of money and wanting to make such a condition.But he himself knows exactly how valuable this play is!
