Chapter 298 The script about idol
Li Shengxian, who was sitting in Bae Yongjun's office and drinking the authentic American coffee, looked very surprised when he saw the person walking into the office with a smile. He seemed to have never expected it to be him.
‘Brother Zhenying, the person you said you were waiting for, isn’t it you? Didn’t you go to Thailand?’
Lee Sung-hyun was really surprised by the arrival of Park Jin-young, who is both a teacher and a friend. As far as he knows, Park Jin-young should have been busy with wondergirls' overseas concert recently, and it was really surprising to see it suddenly today.
Listening to Lee Sung-hyun's words, Park Jin-young also smiled and said, "I've been preparing for the preliminary work, so I'll naturally return to China. Speaking of which, I haven't seen each other for a while. How about it? I've been doing well recently?"
After the previous beating incident, Park Jin-young also called to pay attention to greetings as soon as possible. Even the five girls from wondergirls were specifically told to send New Year text messages to Lee Sung-hyun during the New Year.
With the popularity of ‘nobody’, wondergirls’ status in the Korean girl group has undoubtedly been promoted to the level of a first-line girl group. This year, Park Jin-young also plans to use the whirlwind of ‘nobody’ to push this girl group to Europe and the United States.
Of course, he wouldn't know that this decision ultimately made wondergirls miss the status of the No. 1 girl group in South Korea.
‘What's the problem if you rest at home every day? By the way, Senior Bae Yongjun talked about cooperation, why haven't I heard you mention it?’
Thinking of him and Park Jin-young, he would occasionally talk on the phone, but he would talk about trivial matters more. Now he suddenly realized that the other partner Bae Yong-joon mentioned was Park Jin-young. Lee Sung-hyun was naturally curious.
Regarding Lee Sung-hyun's curiosity, Bae Yong-jun took the initiative to say: "Actually, this proposal is also a cooperation that I accidentally discussed before Zhen Young-young. I think this cooperation may be more successful with Writer Lee joining it."
After inviting Park Jin-young to sit down, Bae Yong-joon's assistant quickly brought Park Jin-young a cup of coffee. His arrival also means that he can start talking about cooperation.
After listening to Bae Yong-joon's words, Park Jin-young nodded and said, "Yeah, Yong-joon and I are in the same year, and my personal relationship is also very good. During the last chat, I accidentally talked about the promotion of idol packaging. We had an idea of cooperation.
The general meaning is that I hope to produce TV series tailor-made for idols to achieve the purpose of promoting their idols. I believe I don’t need to say more, sages should also know that idols have a very low status in the circle.
And jyp survives by packaging and promoting idol, and Yongjun's company has production channels. What we lack now is a well-known screenwriter who understands idol, and a script tailor-made for idol."
As soon as this was said, Li Shengxian said in surprise: "Brother, don't you want to say that you ask me to write such a script, right?"
Seeing Lee Sung-hyun seemingly surprised, Bae Yong-jun smiled and said, "Writer Lee, I am more clear about your situation. Zhen-young and I are quite clear about it. Speaking of which, you should be the youngest writer in the Korean screenwriter industry.
And I also know that you have a good relationship with many young idols in the circle. This shows that you understand the status of idols. At present, many idols want to enter the entertainment industry. However, most of them are not valued by the entertainment industry.
After all, this is not to say that their abilities are not good. More importantly, their status in the circle is not high. If they can produce TV series specially customized by young idols, there will be no excessive restrictions.
As long as the work is successful, I believe that the people and the elderly in the entertainment industry will gradually change their unhelpful attitude. This is also a rare good thing for agency companies engaged in idol packaging."
‘Senior, I roughly know what you mean. But in my opinion, there are not many people who really have acting skills in idols at present. Secondly, making such a TV series must be recognized by the audience to be considered successful.’
It pointed out incisively that the most critical link in the two's plan. The young idol has never been short of the Korean entertainment industry. However, the truly powerful and acting idol is not that easy to find.
If you have singing skills, acting skills, and appearance, I believe it is difficult for such an idol to fail. Secondly, this production model will undoubtedly challenge several major TV stations and specialize in producing TV series.
It would be fine if it was successful, but if the production was not successful, it might make all the considerable investments go away. After all, the money needed to shoot a TV series is also quite large. Park Jin-young, a businessman, will definitely not do any loss-making transactions.
‘That’s right, so the script and the actors are both critical. However, if you can succeed, the benefits will be very large. Especially for brokerage companies like jyp, it is a new development model worth exploring.’
Facing Lee Sang-hyun's incisive answer, Bae Yong-jun also frankly stated that it is indeed difficult to succeed in such a cooperation. But in Bae Yong-jun's opinion, some things have to be tried before they can find out whether they can succeed.
If the cooperation with JYP can be successful, then Bae Yongjun can believe that the brokerage companies he run will become a sought after by major idol packaging brokers. These brokerage companies are equivalent to having another way to make money.
As long as you can find a TV platform to play, you have a certain audience group. Then, the main focus of the drama starring young idols is still very rich. However, this kind of script is sometimes rare!
The most famous idol drama at present is undoubtedly the "Meteor Garden" which has been remade many times. According to what Bae Yongjun learned, KBS has planned to remake this campus idol drama this year.
This shows that TV series that focuses on young idols still have a market in South Korea. The most difficult part is that such a good script is rare. Otherwise, I am afraid that the company that mainly sells idols in South Korea would have done this long ago.
‘Sage, in fact, after I thought of this cooperation model with Yongjun, the first partner we wanted to find was you. As soon as you are young, you know the living preferences of young people today, and also understand the living circle of idols.
Secondly, your creative ability is well known in the circle. If you can write a good script this time, I think companies including SM and yg will compete to curry favor with you in the future, and I, jyp, will naturally be the same.
What I do now is nothing more than testing the waters for them. If successful, then the status of our company will be improved. In the future, these companies in the same industry will also accept my favor."
Listening to Park Jin-young's words "dare to be the first in the world", Lee Sung-hyun knew that such a thing was not an easy task for him. How could a script tailor-made for idols be so easy to write?
He said helplessly: "Brother, you really look down on me too highly!"
On the contrary, Bae Yongjun smiled and said, "It's okay, I specially invited you here today, just to hope that you can take time to create a script that specializes in supporting idols. As for time, we are not in a hurry."
If it is a random script, Bae Yongjun is afraid that he will not dare to take it. The first TV series is successful in the first part. He would rather work slowly than start it up in a hurry and end up in failure! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
