Chapter 417 New Cooperation

After hanging up Li Zhien's phone, Zhang Ping'an walked towards the variety show bureau upstairs while constantly looking at the 'contacts' on his phone. Because Li Zhien wanted to buy a potato chip that was out of stock everywhere on the market, Zhang Ping'an didn't know who to look for. Because there is no one who makes food among his contacts, but there are quite a few people who make food. But he really didn't know anyone who made this type of snack food.

Of course, among the contacts on Zhang Pingan's mobile phone, there must be someone who can help him buy potato chips. But if he disturbed such a big shot because of such a trivial matter, would this be something that he would be extremely stupid to do?

Finally, Zhang Pingan found someone who should be able to help him buy potato chips. He dialed his phone with a smile: "PD Luo, are you busy?"

Luo Yingshi, the head program producer of tvN, Zhang Pingan, felt that he could definitely help him buy this potato chip. Because when he was filming the show, many businesses came to talk about implant sponsorship, including the "Three Meals a Day" they are now cooperating with, which also has implant sponsorship, and the drinks used in the show are implants. Entered. And the price of implantation is not low.

So Zhang Ping'an thought that if Luo Yingshi was asked, he would definitely help buy some out-of-stock potato chips. Although asking a super producer like Luo Yingshi is overkill, it is still much better than going to the other contacts.

When Luo Yingshi saw the call from Zhang Pingan, he immediately joked: "I thought it was who it was, but it turned out to be PD Zhang who disappeared. What happened today? Why did you remember to call me?"

Zhang Ping'an supervised the production of two episodes of "Three Meals" and then stopped following it. The follow-up filming of the entire show was followed up by Luo Yingshi's PD team. Even if the planning of the show is done by Zhang Ping'an, as the chief PD of the show, Luo Yingshi thinks that even if he doesn't come to every episode, he should follow the team from time to time, right? Rather than being such a complete hands-off shopkeeper!

Zhang Ping'an didn't expect that Luo Yingshi's first sentence would be to express his dissatisfaction in such a joking way. He said apologetically: "Well... I'm really sorry for everyone. After the filming of this quarter, I will treat everyone to a big meal to apologize. Mainly Recently I was thinking about a new program, so I found a relatively quiet place to do the planning. ”

After hearing Zhang Pingan's apology, Luo Yingshi let him go. Then PD Luo said: "The TV station over there also sent me the plan for your new program. "Kan Sheng" is indeed a very interesting program. As a music variety show, writer Li Youzhen praised the program you conceived as very interesting and reversible.”

As the top program producer of 'CJ Entertainment', Luo Yingshi would definitely show it to him and Li Youzhen after getting the plan to see the feasibility of the program. This is not surprising.

"Thank you, that's a compliment. I called today because I have something to ask PD Luo.

Recently there is a honey butter flavored potato chip, do you know? "

"I know, they are out of stock everywhere, and because the supply exceeds demand, these potato chips are very popular on SNS. Are you calling because you want me to buy potato chips for you?" Luo Yingshi quickly guessed Zhang The meaning of a sudden call from peace.

"Yes, I wanted to ask if you could buy me some potato chips here?"

Luo Yingshi agreed without hesitation: "Okay, how many do you want? I can take up to twenty or thirty pieces. Do you want to give them to Girls' Generation?"

He thought Zhang Pingan bought these potato chips to give to Girls' Generation. Because there were so many of them, even if he helped Zhang Pingan get twenty or thirty pieces, they wouldn't have too many in their hands.

Zhang Ping'an didn't say who he was giving it to. He just said, "Just thirty pieces. How about I pick them up tomorrow?"

"I'll get back to you after contacting you and see if it will be sent directly to your company tomorrow, or what?"

"Anything is fine, you can also send it to my company." After getting the potato chips, Zhang Pingan was relieved. This is the first time Li Zhien has asked him to do something, and he will definitely help her do it.

Now I don’t know if twenty or thirty pieces are enough, because these snacks will have antiseptic gas injected into the pocket when they are packaged, so there are not many bags in one piece.

After talking about the potato chips, Luo Yingshi said: "By the way, about the variety show "New Journey to the West" you told me about last time, writer Li Youzhen and I think it can be filmed."

"Can your TV station broadcast it?" Because it involves some specific characters, such as the 'tax evader man' and the 'gambler man', it takes a process to directly put it on the screen.

Luo Yingshi replied: "We will produce a season to test the water for the time being and broadcast it on your live broadcast platform first. As for the Korean side, we will join forces with 'N station'? Mainly let 'N station' help broadcast the program "

"How about we formally discuss the specific shooting of this program after the Spring Festival? Because my live broadcast platform may enter the Korean market during the Spring Festival, and it will be the same if it can be broadcast directly on my platform. Anyway, in terms of revenue sharing, We will still divide it according to the current five-on-five.”

"Okay, let's discuss it formally after the Spring Festival."

.......

After hanging up the phone with Luo Yingshi, Zhang Pingan also came to the Variety Department floor of SBS. His sudden appearance surprised everyone in the office. The director of the "RM" program group, "Mi PD", took the initiative to come over after seeing Zhang Pingan: "Zhang PD, hello, why are you here as a guest at SBS today?"

Because Zhang Pingan has a very good relationship with the members of his program group in private, Mi PD did not exchange polite words with Zhang Pingan, and he came up to chat directly.

When Zhang Pingan shook hands with the PD, he said: "Hello, Mi PD. I came here today to see if I can cooperate with SBS."

Hearing that it was a cooperation, Mi PD looked at him in surprise and said: "Oh? Zhang PD, you want to cooperate with our station? This is a very honorable thing. Now the programs produced by Zhang PD are very topical. Especially your weekend "Masked" has taken away all the ratings of our "RM". "

After the launch of Zhang Pingan's program, it formed a direct challenge relationship with "RM". Whether it is the topicality of the weekend or the current ratings, Zhang Pingan's "Masked" firmly guards the ratings of the same period. After his show was broadcast, when Kim Jong-kook and Ha Dong-hoon sent him congratulatory messages, they also complained.

Zhang Pingan smiled awkwardly and waved his hands, saying, "No, no, RM is very popular in Asia."

Speaking of the overseas popularity of the show, this made PD Mi even more distressed and said, "The good performance of the show overseas is actually not of much significance to the program group and the TV station. Because the main income of the show still depends on domestic advertising companies, but unfortunately our program's ratings in China are not very good. Even if the show sells the overseas broadcast rights, the copyright price for one year cannot be as high as that of a TV series. On the contrary, the platform that obtains the overseas broadcast rights earns more than our TV station in a year."

Indeed, for example, now that a Chinese video website has purchased the exclusive broadcast rights of "RM" in China, the income from advertising fees alone has made that platform earn more money than the program group.

Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Your show is too popular overseas, and it has become a burden."

PD Mi sighed bitterly, "That's right. It's because it's too popular. We are a little overwhelmed by the single-digit ratings. We feel reluctant to cancel the show; but if we don't cancel it, the domestic ratings are too bad, and the program team can't make any money at all. Moreover, the competition pressure for the broadcast time of weekend variety shows is getting bigger and bigger. I even want our program team to adjust the broadcast time."

The ratings pressure of the weekend ace variety show is not ordinary. Once the ace, it is now the bottom of the three major channels. As the PD of the program, the pressure that PD Mi bears can be imagined.

Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "I understand, but who among the current producers is not under huge ratings pressure? I am also under great pressure, and I am also an investor. The ratings of the program directly affect my return on investment. By the way, is the director here?"

What Zhang Pingan said is true. The current producers are under great pressure, whether it is variety shows or TV dramas.

"Yes, let's go, I'll take you there."

PD Mi briefly chatted with Zhang Pingan and then took him to the office.

The director was stunned for several seconds when he saw Zhang Pingan being brought in by PD Mi. Zhang Pingan is the hottest freelance producer at the moment. Does his visit to their TV station today mean that there is a possibility of cooperation between them in the future?

Director Li asked Zhang Pingan to sit in the reception area and then asked his secretary to prepare two cups of coffee.

The director took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Pingan and asked, "Zhang PD, you are here today. Is there anything good for us?"

"I have a program planned recently, and I want to ask if your station is interested in cooperating."

SBS also looks forward to cooperating with Zhang Pingan, so the director asked without further ado, "What type of program?"

"Food program. Eating shows are so popular recently, and various food programs have been launched. I am joining in the fun, but my program is not about introducing food stores..."

The director certainly knows that food-related programs are very popular recently, and they are indeed considering making food programs, but they have never come up with a good program plan. After all, there are too many programs introducing food stores on the market.

So when Zhang Pingan said that he had a good program idea, and it was not about introducing food stores, the director finally became curious. He also wanted to see what kind of food program Zhang Pingan, a well-known producer, was planning?
