Chapter 28: Writer team = 250?

In fact, Li Junzhi has already settled the matter of "Infinite Challenge". Although the procuratorial organ and MBC do not belong to the same system, there is no system of personal connections.
This time Luo Junning came over, the biggest action was to sign the contract with MBC, nothing more, just because of Yin Huibin’s sudden interest, the process became a little more interesting and longer, until Luo Junning smiled. When she was about to lose her grip, Yin Huibin took out the contract she had prepared and sent it to Luo Junning.
Seeing Yin Huibin stopped, Luo Junning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the contract and looked at it.
It’s not that I don’t believe in Li Junzhi and Cui Hanmin, I just want to take this to calm down the embarrassment, but after inadvertently flipping the contract, Luo Junning pointed to the content of the contract and asked: "Here, MBC will give The production cost of 7 million won per issue, the writer team receives 2.5 million per issue, and I alone can receive 1.6 million won per issue?"
"Why, too little?" Yin Huibin asked with a smile.
Luo Junning shook his head, "I used to hear that in Korea, whether it is variety shows or TV series, screenwriters always take the big head, but I really saw the contract before I knew how big this big head is."
7 million won, which is only 30,000 or 40,000 yuan in Chinese banknotes. Luo Junning has no intuitive understanding of whether such production costs are high or low, but since MBC wants to put this show in the variety show "Saturday", I believe This is also the most suitable price for "Infinite Challenge" that has not yet been verified.
7 million won. Excluding the 2.5 million production fee for the writer team in each period, the rest has to pay for the large and small expenses including the salary of MC and other employees, the cost of the venue, the loss of machinery and props, etc., and the production The cost has reached nearly one-third, making Luo Junning feel a little emotional, at least in China, the price of the production team is not up to this level.
In the contract, MBC fully agreed with the four MCs mentioned by Luo Junning in the planning: Liu Zaishi, Zheng Hengdun, Lu Hongzhe, and Biao Yinghao. At the same time, they will prepare a six-member team of writers for Luo Junning to assist him in completing each episode of "Infinite Challenge". The six people will share the 900,000 won salary of the production team excluding Luo Junning’s share.
Yin Huibin asked: "As far as I know, your plan for Junning should be handed over through relationships. Don't you doubt that this is the price given because of your relationship?"
"Uncle Li's face should be used on this one, right?" Luo Junning pointed to a detailed rule that happened to be seen, and smiled lightly.
Yin Huibin glanced at it and saw the contract on the copyright of "Infinite Challenge". His beautiful eyes were full of smiles: "Indeed, this one is the biggest face."
Whether it’s the production costs and logistics arrangements of "Infinite Challenge", or the treatment arrangements of Luo Junning, who is outside the MBC system, are based on the reasonable treatment within the system given by the Variety Department after the evaluation of this new variety show. It is also Yin Huibin. The director of the Variety Show Department personally shoots the board, only the copyright of "Infinite Challenge" is the first variety show that the copyright belongs to the planning individual, not the MBC TV station.
This is the only request Li Junzhi put forward using his contacts. After evaluating "Infinite Challenge", Yin Huibin and MBC's executives agreed to this request. After all, Li Junzhi's prospects are very good. Although the presidential election is still four years away, the stubbornness of the New World Party that Lee Junzhi belongs to has become inevitable. Although Roh Moo-hyun now belongs to the Open KMT, the relationship between the two parties is as long as there is no blind eye. All clear.
Although MBC is not entirely a state-owned TV station like KBS, but it also has a government background. They are not going to give Li Junzhi the face of a variety show that is just a little innovative.
Maybe when something comes to the other side?
So there is such a clause, and of course there are restrictions, that is, Luo Junning shall not publish this clause to the outside world unless it is necessary.
"If there is no problem, then sign up as soon as possible." Yin Huibin looked at the time and urged.
Luo Junning glanced at the coffee that Yin Huibin had just made in front of him, "Is Minister Yin in a hurry?"
"MBC has a lot of things. Although it's fun to chat with a sunny boy like you, Junning, I have to make money to support my family!" Yin Huibin looked over with a grieving expression.
The corner of Luo Junning's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly lowered his head and signed the name. After signing, he remembered an important thing, "Um... Minister Yin, can you change the pay of each episode writer? 250... It’s not very nice."
"What's wrong." Yin Huibin withdrew a contract and started rushing people. "Okay, let's go, Nu Na has to work, and you will play with my brother next time. Someone will contact you these days. Just come over and prepare to record the show at that time. Remember to work hard!"
Being driven out of the office by Yin Huibin, Luo Junning looked depressed, especially when he looked at the contract in his hand that wrote 250 on the remuneration of each episode, but what did Yin Huibin's last look mean?
It's definitely not warm. Ambiguous, is there something strange about the identity of a screenwriter?
Luo Junning’s guess is correct. Although screenwriters and writers in South Korea take the bulk of the production costs, they are also under greater pressure than the director (PD). They almost control the direction of the entire filming and are also responsible for the ratings. Basically, the main screenwriter of every variety show and TV show dark circles every day, all for the fatal ratings.
When the ratings are poor, I will be so worried that I can’t sleep at night. When the ratings are good, I have to work hard to maintain this ratings, or even hit a new high.
If South Korea’s current artists are synonymous with hard work, then the behind-the-scenes staff such as screenwriters are completely at the level of being a cow.
Luo Junning didn’t know this, even if he knew it, he wouldn’t care too much, because he didn’t need to think about his
creative
at all, and the ratings... What he saw in Liu Zaishi and Yin Eun-hui was not only the content of variety shows and every episode of TV. With the ratings of each episode, otherwise, how could he have such confidence that he would choose to use these as his own capital?
Luo Junning currently does not have the ability to adapt "Infinite Challenge", but even if it is completely copied and the ratings are less, it is definitely one of the top existences in all MBC variety shows, and wait until he can have the ability to push the series in his mind. At the time, I believe it is possible to make this variety show's ratings breakthrough, and he has long been creative in every episode, will he be as hard-pressed as other screenwriters?
"Brother Hanmin, why have you been silent just now?"
"What's there to say? I've seen this contract before. This time I came here as a formality. I have to say that the coffee here is really good."
Luo Junning: "..."
When Luo Junning went back to thank Li Junzhi with this contract, Li Zhixian who saw this contract immediately exploded. He pointed to the number 160 after 250 on the contract and screamed: "Why! Just write it casually." Some things, and then used to make a variety show that no one sees, can you get so much money every week?"
