Chapter 47 IOI Planning
"Sit down first."
Since there are only three high stools, several people were standing in front of the dining table before. Now there is just a hole in the carrot, so there is no need to continue standing and talking.
After the two girls opposite sat down, Han Zidong slowly talked about Xingyou and the dumplings he made specially for Xingyou's jealousy - Lezhin ic.
In order to run a comic, I am planning to build a website.
In order to promote this website, a variety show was specially produced.
The other four people present would not listen directly.
This is also the first time that Han Zidong has announced the joint marketing plan between Xingyou and Lezhin ic. He is very satisfied with the performance of the four listeners.
"How about it? Do you have any intention to participate?"
Han Zidong asked as he picked up a perilla leaf, picked up beef, garlic cloves, green onions, and pickles with chopsticks, and piled them on one by one.
Jiang Seulqi rubbed her thighs with both hands, like a primary school student who was called to the homeroom teacher's office.
To be honest, when Jin Minxiu called her yesterday and said that she needed to make a video, she thought it was a video similar to an MV or a CF.
It turns out this is a mini variety show?
Hey, micro variety show!
This is bound to take many episodes, and the number of people involved in both the production team and the participants will certainly not be small.
Pei Zhuxuan's eyes flashed, and she had a lot to say in her heart, but because she was not very familiar with Han Zidong, she could only hold back many of her inner thoughts.
"What's the matter? Don't you want to appear on camera?"
"That's not true," Jiang Seqi waved her hands hastily. Although she hadn't decided whether to participate, she definitely didn't want to refuse directly: "It's just..."
"We have no experience in entertainment." Bae Zhuhyun spoke up in time, adding another reason to Jiang Seulqi.
"That's right. Writer..."
Han Zidong raised his hand and temporarily interrupted Jiang Seqi.
"Seulgi, and Bae Zhuhyunxi, we may meet more often in the future, so we should just speak plain language to each other."
As he spoke, his eyes locked on Jiang Seulgi: "Seulgi, this is the second time I've invited you to barbecue. Why do you keep calling me 'writer, writer'? Let's get closer."
”
"Writer..." Realizing that her mouth was a step ahead of her brain, Jiang Seulqi changed her words in time: "Okay."
"And Bae Zhu Hyunxi, we are still the same age, so let's start with Pingyu and get closer slowly."
Pei Zhuxuan opened her mouth and struggled to spit out a word.
"Inside."
"Okay, let's chat while we eat. Regarding entertainment experience, it's actually a metaphysics, just like "Invincible Youth".
Except for NarSha, Goo Hara, Sunny, and Yuri who have debuted for more than two years, Kim Hyuna is making her second debut, but her variety show experience is not too much.
As for Han Sunhwa and Park Hyomin, they were pure newcomers who debuted back then. They also found their own entertainment experience bit by bit. Take your time, there must be a first time in life."
Han Zidong stuffed a ball of meat buns into his mouth and finally had the first piece of barbecue today.
“The meat quality is okay, but it’s a bit cold.”
His eyes glanced at the two young apprentices: "You two should also come over and eat some... vegetables, don't just eat meat!"
The two young apprentices actually stayed on guard and stole the meat, eating meat quite happily.
He sighed faintly. Under Jin Minxiu's guidance, Park Shengxiu became visibly worse.
On the other hand, the two trainee representatives sitting at the dining table, one was eating lettuce mixed with fried shallots, and the other was eating king oyster mushrooms.
"Serge, don't just eat...vegetables, eat some meat too."
"Joohyuna, you too, eat more ribs."
Han Zidong carried two plates of meat and reheated them. Five people gathered around the table and shared the barbecue.
Dinner gatherings can indeed enhance the feelings of team members. Within a short time, Park Shengxiu was tamed by Kim Minxiu, and she kept shouting "Angry, angry".
Han Zidong could probably guess what trick Jin Minxiu used, it was nothing more than a promise of a signed album or something like that. After all, his big apprentice seemed to have the contact information of several girl group members and trainees.
It's just that this little apprentice is too easy to fool.
Forget it, every age group has its own pursuits. Thinking about him back then... it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t mention it or not!
Under Han Zidong's enthusiastic guidance, Jiang Seulqi and Bae Zhuhyun relaxed a little, but they ate very slowly, as if chewing a few more times would help the roasted meat in their stomachs be digested as quickly as possible.
As Han Zidong's "same age" and Bae Joo Hyun's same age, Kim Min Soo perfectly acted as a communication bridge.
With her help, the awkward atmosphere between the five people became less awkward after a while.
As we chatted, the topic returned to micro variety shows.
"To put it simply, this variety show is the eliminated version of "Weekly Idol"."
Seeing everyone's confused look, he spread his hands and asked: "Haven't any of you seen Zhou Ou?"
Fortunately, everyone has their uses, but there is a lack of a place for him to display his talents. As a loyal star-chasing boy, now is the time for Park Sung-soo to make his mark.
I saw Park Shengxiu raising her hand tremblingly and saying: "Writer nim, I have watched a few episodes."
Han Zidong's eyes were full of admiration, so it seems that star-chasers are not useless at all: "Then you will introduce this variety show, mainly introducing the broadcast channels, duration and main processes."
"Indeed, "Weekly Idol" was probably... launched in July 2011," Park Sung-soo stumbled a little at first, but became smoother as he continued.
"It is a variety show broadcast on MBC's premium channel MBC Every1 that provides a stage for idol groups. Each episode lasts about 30 minutes.
The main processes are member introduction, new song promotion, random dance, resume confirmation and obtaining Korean beef through games."
"Yes, our "Idol ic Studio" is just like "Weekly Idol", it is also a variety show that integrates interviews, games and promotions.
The only difference is that our variety show this season will eliminate some members based on online voting, on-site scoring and other data, and the remaining members will form a limited group. I have already thought of the name, it will be called IOI.
Ideal Of Idol."
Due to the production cost, he will definitely not be able to produce the 101 series, so he can only be a sewing monster and sew and patch up the mature versions of "Idol Room", "Idol of the Week" and "Produce101" for use.
Kim Min-soo asked funnyly: "Writer nim, is it possible that IOI like us will still be on the singing stage?"
"Why not? Based on subsequent feedback, we can flexibly adjust. If we can pass the application of the relevant TV station, why don't we go on stage to sing?"
Jiang Seulqi thought for a while and asked: "What about the production funds?"
Apart from the regular trainees, the highest expenditure in producing this variety show is probably the production team.
Whether you convene it yourself or directly contact an outsourcing company, the necessary staffing must include PD, writers, VJs, lighting, sound, etc. The production cost of the first phase is definitely not small.
Han Zidong thought for a while and replied: "In addition to using part of the crowdfunding funds for your project, I will also find other ways to raise funds. You don't have to worry about funding.
What you have to do is to present yourself perfectly so that more people will like you and vote for you."
"But..."
Pei Zhuxuan was a little hesitant, but finally under Han Zidong's encouraging gaze, she continued: "But is this necessary?
Star, you have raised more than 110 million through crowdfunding. You will use this money to fully invest in production, which is enough for you to make many comics. Isn’t it said that the follow-up Lezhin ic is also crowdfunding?
As long as you get the two deals one after another, isn't it okay to develop slowly? Why are you so radical?"
Chapter completed!
