Chapter six hundred and ninety-eight new ways of cooperation
"Ge" went to SBS. He and So Ji-seok have always worked with SBS very happily. Even when CJ attacked him, SBS resisted the pressure and did not do anything to put down the wrong thing.
So there is no more suitable collaborator than SBS.
Kim Jong Kwon successfully met SBS TV script director Gu Bongji. He took care of the popular "Secret Garden" before, and he had dealt with Kim Jong Kwon several times. He admired Kim Jong Kwon very much. After all, he brought two masterpieces with a rating of over 50 to SBS!
"Hello, Minister Gu Ben, I'm here to disturb you again." Because I had a brief conversation on the phone before, Kim Jong-kwon didn't have much politeness and put the script on the table.
"Haha, don't be too reserved. I thought we were friends who were old age. It would be better to have such disturbances a few more times. We are a family!" Minister Gu joked with a smile on his half-white hair. He was able to sit firmly at the position of the director of the SBS TV script. A large part of the credit was from the two TV series Kim Jong-kwon, so he spoke casually and did not use his power to suppress others.
Kim Jong-kwon smiled after hearing this, but he did not respond. He was willing to believe Minister Gu's kindness, but the premise of this kindness was that Kim Jong-kwon could also bring benefits to SBS. If one day he stopped being popular and needed SBS's help, it would be difficult for him to believe Minister Gu would pull him, rather than sweep him out.
So just listen to this kind of people’s words, the most important thing is to have a happy cooperation now.
Minister Gu also knew that Kim Jong-kwon was not those little idols. Just saying a few clichés would make them excited and show their loyalty with a red face and thick neck. SBS and Kim Jong-kwon have a mutually beneficial relationship, so they have been working happily, which is the premise.
After picking up the script, Minister Gu began to look through it carefully. On the phone, Kim Jong-kwon said that he had written a script himself, which surprised him. If Kim Jong-kwon's past achievements were not too convincing, it would be difficult for him to squeeze out this time to read the script written by a "newcomer".
However, unexpectedly, the more I looked back, Minister Gu became more serious. Although this story tells the emotional history of an uncle over 35, it also resonated with him. After all, he also came from that age.
Overall, this is a good story, warm, relaxed, funny, romantic...
It can be said that it has all the popular elements at the moment. He even saw artists who came to play guest appearances on various scenes, including Girls' Generation, which is very popular at the moment and Tara.
When he looked through the half of it carefully, the phone suddenly rang.
"Minister, you have another meeting to attend soon."
"You go for me, remember to take notes."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without caring about the assistant's questions, then looked at Kim Jong-kwon with a chuckle and said, "You, it's delayed my business!"
"If Minister Gu has any arrangements, he can go and do it first. We will change the time and then make an appointment." Kim Jong-kwon felt relieved when he saw his performance, and knew that this matter had been done.
Minister Gu smiled and shook his head, then closed the script that was half turned, pinched the bridge of his nose with his hands to relax his nerves.
"We can establish projects in this script, but I only have one question. Will you star in it? Or do you have other arrangements?"
"Of course I will play, otherwise I won't go there myself. In fact, many of the characters here have goals in my heart, so what I need to talk about next is the main thing!"
"Don't worry, it's still the same rule. We SBS will cooperate with each other. We need people and resources. Who do you like Zhong Quan? Just make a list. After we determine the director candidate, you will discuss it." Minister Gu showed great confidence.
However, Kim Jong Kwon shook his head this time, "This time, in addition to me, I am also planning to invite So Ji-seok, Kim Soo-ro, and Cho In-sung to act as the starring roles. Not counting the pay for other roles, just the pay for the four of us, I wonder what standard is the payment for Minister Gu Ben to pay?"
Minister Gu frowned immediately after hearing this. Among these four people, Kim Soo-ro is relatively low in fame and not that high in value. But then Kim Soo-ro was also a movie star in the past, but now he can still play starring roles in TV series, so his pay will not be much lower.
And if Kim Soo-ro’s pay doesn’t matter, the other three are all top-tier male actors!
Video Emperor Su Ji-seok has a top-notch reputation and popularity in the film and television circles, and his appeal in TV series is not inferior to anyone.
Cho In is a few years younger than So Ji-seok, but his achievements are not bad at all. He has won the Best Actor of Baeksang. He also starred in "The Story of Bali" with So Ji-seok.
Finally, with the two winners of the Best Actor, Kim Jong Kwon, the collaboration of four major cast members is all the leading actors. How should I pay for this? Should I use 4 times the resources to shoot a TV series?
Minister Gu was a little depressed and hesitated not to know whether he should agree.
"Actually, it's enough for you to play the real protagonist, Jong Kwon. The other three people can delete some scenes. There is no need to ask Cho In-sung and the others to play the role."
"After my return a year later, of course I have to make some big moves. Not only the male leads are big names, but I am also planning to find first-line actresses to play with the heroine. Even the supporting roles in the drama must be popular artists!"
Kim Jong-kwon's bold words shocked Minister Gu, and he almost blurted out his promise, but he still held back. The pay alone was a big problem. How much profit can they have in SBS after filming this drama?
"Actually, we can change the way of cooperation." Kim Jong-kwon said with a smile.
"What kind of cooperation?" Minister Gu asked curiously.
"I originally planned to make it myself, but considering that we have been working together all the time, we can use the method of joint investment to cooperate this time. SBS invests in resources and props personnel and part of the funds. The remaining fund gap is our 51k, and then both parties account for half of the profits, but the copyright belongs to me." Kim Jong-kwon finally stated the purpose of this trip, and no one is willing to work for others for the rest of their lives.
Minister Gu never thought that Kim Jong-kwon had such an idea. Today, when the three major TV stations almost monopolized the Korean TV market, he actually had the courage to negotiate terms with SBS. It was really crazy to seize food from the tiger's mouth!
