    Yeongdeungpo-gu, where the KBS main building is located, is across from Mapo-gu, where Lee Jung-hee and his family live. It is only separated by the Han River, so it is very close.  The agreed time was nine o'clock in the morning. At 8:30, Li Zhengxi and Zhang Dongguo rushed to the KBS main building early. Looking at the house number hanging on the side of the entrance, Li Zhengxi suddenly smiled and said with a smile.  Feeling these inexplicable and complicated emotions, he whispered softly: "Youido No. 18".  He came here many times in his previous life, but almost every time he came back disappointed. Today, he will take the first step after reincarnation again. Although he is not very excited, his heart is not calm either.  And Zhang Dongguo, who came here specially in a suit and leather shoes to support him, nervously pinched the knot of his tie and loosened it, and then let out a sigh of relief.  Speaking of which, yesterday, I was joking even in the car, but when I got here, it felt unreal.  However, this kind of mood was quickly put aside by him. Li Zhengxi believed in him so much. Moreover, in his eyes, no matter how smart Li Zhengxi was, he was still a little guy who didn't know much about the world. He had the responsibility to help Li Zhengxi in the next matter.  Handled thoroughly.  Thinking of this, he calmed down, then turned to look at Li Zhengxi, and greeted with a firm and steady voice: "Let's go!" Looking at his still stiff face, Li Zhengxi relaxed, nodded with a smile, and even joked.  She said to him, "Brother, it seems I'm nervous, right?" When he turned his head angrily, he ran in with a smile.  After passing the square, going up the steps, entering the lobby of the KBS main building, and then registering at the front desk, the front desk contacted the department they were visiting to confirm and issued them a temporary pass in the main building, and then they were able to come to the three rooms of the main building.  building.  The third floor is the TV drama production department, which is divided into the content department of program production, and then itself is divided into three smaller departments.  Among them, the producer is mainly responsible for the production of family ethics dramas, such as the famous "The Bathhouse Owner's Man", "The Wives Club" and so on.  The third production is responsible for the production of historical river dramas, such as the just-aired "Taizu Wang Jian", the later "Empress Mingcheng", etc. As for the second production of Li Zhengxi and others, they are specifically responsible for the production of fashion romance dramas.  , such as "First Love", such as "Winter Sonata" and so on.  "Young man, you must be Li Zhengxi!" In the reception room of the second production department, Li Zhengxi and the others were received by Minister Song Yongzhen and Deputy Minister Park Dongchan. The latter held Li Zhengxi's hand enthusiastically and looked at him with a smart and elegant look.  With a childish face, he patted his shoulder with emotion and said: "You are indeed young and promising. I was shocked when I saw your information before, but your script is so well written. I am so  I like it" Minister Song Yongzhen frowned slightly, looked at Li Zhengxi with squinted eyes, and then asked with a serious expression, "Are you really eighteen years old and studying for a doctorate in economics at Harvard University?" "No, Li Zhengxi!  Knowing that there is his detailed information here, however, in order to make himself look more talented and capable before coming, he had already made relevant preparations. When asked, he took out a lot of documents from his backpack  Put it in front of Song Yongzhen and the others, and then shrugged, "Here are my U.S. ID, my Harvard University student ID, student number, library card, etc., of course, there is also my professor's phone number, you can  Call at any time to confirm" After they took a brief look, they smiled again and said, "I know everyone will have questions about me being too young, but Xu Taizhi started forming a band at the age of fourteen, and I am older than him.  A full four years old, four years old!" Amidst the slight laughter in the conference room due to his witty words, he continued: "And, most importantly, my understanding of this industry, I have taken drama as an elective.  I have also studied film and television drama production. Not only that, I have also stayed on a set in New York. I know the basic process of producing a TV series or movie, and I also have a rough understanding of lighting, props, costumes, photography, etc. " Most of these.  It's nonsense, except for the fact that he was reborn and has enough understanding of film and television production.  Of course, as long as he understands, it doesn't matter whether it's nonsense or not.  "Well, that's well said." After hearing what he said, Park Dongzan clapped his hands and looked at him with admiration and nodded, "This makes me feel more at ease!" Song Yongzhen next to him still had a straight face,  Staring at Li Zhengxi, his eyes were full of suspicion. It was obvious that he did not trust this rookie who had just started working as a screenwriter for the first time. Even if he was a genius student at Harvard, he could not speak eloquently.  Li Zhengxi also saw at this time that Park Dongzan was undoubtedly the one who was conquered by the game, and he was extremely trusting and polite to him, but the game could only do so, so Song Yongzhen would treat him with such an attitude.  He, it¡¯s just that this matter has been passed through the department¡¯s ministerial meeting.?I also got permission from the vice president in charge of this department, so he couldn't stop it.  There is no way to stop it. It is a fait accompli. After everyone has discussed the script and reached a consensus on the tone and style of the entire drama, it is time to discuss the contract. At this time, it is Zhang Dongguo's turn to appear (the artist's contract negotiation is handled by the agent)  People are responsible, this is basically the rule of this industry).  "Hello, Minister Song, hello Vice Minister Park, I am Zhang Dongguo from Empire Entertainment, Lee Jung Hee's manager, please take care of me!" Zhang Dongguo said, taking out the business card that had just been printed, and handed it to Song Yongzhenhe with some respect.  Park Dongzan.  "Empire Entertainment?" Song Yongzhen took the business card but hadn't read it yet. When he heard Zhang Dongguo's words, he frowned because he had never heard of this name before.  Li Zhengxi laughed secretly on the side, but Zhang Dongguo, who was relaxed, nodded seriously and replied with a smile: "Yes, our company has only been established not long ago, and it may not be famous yet. We ask Minister Song to take care of our artists in the future."  "Not only has it been established not long ago, it is not even a shell company. The so-called Empire Entertainment is just nonsense made by Lee Jung-hee, and the business card is yesterday afternoon. They spent a huge sum of 100,000 won to find someone.  I didn't get it until 7 o'clock this morning when I printed it out.  As for the information on the business card, the address is Zhang Dongguo's address, and the phone number is Zhang Dongguo's landline number It can be said that all of this is fake.  However, with the rise of Hallyu in Asia, many people, including street figures in Seoul, have joined this circle. Within a short time, there were many more entertainment companies and brokerage companies in Seoul.  Therefore, although Song Yongzhen was confused, he didn't say anything. He would never investigate specifically for this.  "Three million per episode?" A few people sat down. As the producer responsible for the production of "Blue Life and Death", Park Dongzan has enough power over the screenwriter's remuneration.  However, when Zhang Dongguo got the contract he handed over and saw that the salary written on it was three million per episode, he frowned.  Of course, he himself is actually very satisfied. There are sixteen episodes of "Blue Life and Death Love", and one episode costs 3 million, which adds up to 48 million Korean won.  Forty-eight million, this number is definitely a huge amount of money for him, and Li Zhengxi told him yesterday that he can withdraw 30% of it as the agent's remuneration, which means  This means that he can get no more than fifteen million won.  Thinking about it makes me a little excited!  However, he also remembered that Li Zhengxi told him that if the price was less than 20 million per episode, let him negotiate in that way.  At first, Zhang Dongguo thought this kid was crazy. However, seeing that there were already three million in front of him, he also felt that the plan mentioned by Li Zhengxi might not be feasible.  Therefore, he secretly took a breath, put on a negotiation posture, and then pretended to be calm, then frowned slightly dissatisfied and said: "Isn't this too low? What I mean is,  Although this is our first time writing a script, Director Park just said that the script was really good" "Three million is still too low!" Before Zhang Dongguo could finish his words, Song Yongzhen said.  He answered coldly, his expression full of ridicule, "In our area, the average junior screenwriter's salary is only about 2.5 million won, and many screenwriters who have just debuted earn the salary of a screenwriting apprentice.  , only 500,000 to 600,000 won per episode or even lower" What Song Yongzhen said was true, and therefore, he was only willing to pay 1 million won for an episode, and Park Dong Chan had to get the 3 million from the Council of Ministers.  Arrived.  "Minister Song is right, of course we understand these situations, but we still feel that the price is a bit low," No matter how sarcastic Song Yongzhen was, Zhang Dongguo, who had learned about the general situation of the screenwriting industry through Li Zhengxi, remained unchanged.  This is a negotiation, so naturally there are discussions and considerations.  He turned to look at Park Dongzan again. He also knew now that it was the deputy minister who was easy to talk to. "Minister Park, thank you for just approving our Zhengxi's script, and our company also has a very big interest in Zhengxi's script."  Confidence, but we all know that whether a TV series is good or not is basically based on ratings. Advertisers spend money on advertising based on ratings. So, we might as well use Nielsen's national ratings data to formulate a betting contract.  " Looking at the two guys who were a little stunned across from him, thinking about what Li Zhengxi told him repeatedly in detail yesterday, he felt happy again, and put the contract on the table, his expression becoming more and more confident, "Usually  For example, if the average ratings of a TV series reaches 20%, we call it a hit show, and the advertising of a hit show will naturally make a lot of money. Of course, we don¡¯t have to worry about the hit show.  drama party??If it is cut off midway, then we will use the average ratings of 20% as a benchmark.  If the average ratings of "Blue Life and Death" are less than 20%, we only need one million episodes; if it is cut off midway, then we will not pay a penny. However, if it reaches 2%  Ten, then, we will need 10 million episodes. At the same time, after reaching 20%, for every 5% increase in the average ratings, we will add 5 million episodes  "    "no!  "It's Song Yongzhen again. This guy seems to be deliberately going against Li Zhengxi and the others. He once again categorically rejected Zhang Dongguo's proposal, and even knocked twice on the table rudely. Zhang Dongguo was also a little unhappy and narrowed his eyes slightly.  Narrowing his eyes, he suppressed the anger in his heart, but his tone was questioning, "Why not, Minister Song, we are not asking for something unilaterally, we are also taking responsibility, isn't this perfectly taking into account the interests of both parties?  Any solution?  " Song Yongzhen snorted coldly and remained silent for the time being. His rejection of Zhang Dongguo's proposal just now was not completely unreasonable. It is no more than ten years later. Although the average ratings of 20% are indeed the standard for popular dramas, it must be achieved.  But it¡¯s not too difficult, as long as you have a little luck. And more than ten years later, due to the prosperity of the Internet, it is difficult to achieve an average ratings of 20%, and it will be 20% for any episode.  It¡¯s gratifying. Therefore, Song Yongzhen is also afraid that if the average ratings of "Blue Life and Death Love" reach 20%, they will have to pay 10 million for one episode. "Director Zhang!  "When the situation was a bit tense, Park Dongzan, who had been silent for a long time, came out with a smile to smooth things over. Although he was very dissatisfied with Song Yongzhen's interference in the project that had been assigned to him. However, the official level is overwhelming.  He could only curse in his heart. Zhang Dongguo's business card said he was the director of Empire Entertainment. The conditions proposed by the other party were not rude, so he said politely: "What Minister Song means is that we have never had one here.  Such an agreement, therefore, we still need to carefully consider your proposal before we can give you a reply!  " Seeing what he said, Zhang Dongguo didn't bother and nodded, "Of course," he breathed a sigh of relief. What did he fear most? What he feared the most was that the other party would directly turn his back and say he quit. " Now it seems,  Everything is under control. Of course, he doesn¡¯t know that this is actually a job that cannot be run away. Otherwise, how could Li Zhengxi dare to let him be so tough PS: Remember to collect it if you are fattening!
