Korean Entertainment's Unlucky God System

Chapter 7 explains "Running Man"

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Cuo got into Liu Zaishi's car and drove to the appointed place.

In the car, I discussed the specific plot of "Running Man" with Yoo Jae Suk, which fully demonstrated Yoo Jae Suk's enthusiasm for this project.

A day of coffee, in a private room.

"Hi, Park Xiong is the director. I am Lin Cuo, the writer of "Running Man". Please take care of me."

Lin Cuo expressed his respect for Park Xiongjae without being humble or arrogant, and introduced his name at the same time.

His attitude is considered good by others, giving the impression of a confident young man.

In fact, this is completely an illusion. According to his own statement, his attitude is "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water".I have had the mentality of blindly seeking death before, but now this kind of scene is not a problem at all, is it failure at worst?

Failure is probably not much less than the food we have eaten so long. You said it is just equivalent to eating one more meal. How much burden can it have?
Pu Xiong was observing Lin Cuo, and found that the person who made such a high-quality plan as "Running Man" was a little too young. How could such a plan be written without certain experience, and he was still a newcomer to variety shows!

Before Park Xiong could reply, Lin Cuo took out a few pieces of paper. These pieces of paper were the detailed script of an episode of "Running Man".

Pu Xiong was receiving the script, did not say much, and read it seriously.

This time, the time to watch will be much less.

The more Pu Xiong looked at it, the deeper his eyebrows became. Lin Cuo and Liu Zaishi both found out. Lin Cuo knew the reason, but Liu Zaishi hadn't read the script, so seeing Pu Xiong like this, he was a little worried.Quietly asked Lin Cuo: "Is it because the time is too hasty and the writing is not very good?"

Lin Cuo whispered, "It's not like that, Brother Shi, it's just that this script is not suitable at the beginning. Don't worry!"

After Pu Xiong finished reading, he relaxed his frown and said slowly: "Lin Cuoxi, it is undeniable that your script is very exciting, but unfortunately, it cannot become a breakthrough program. "Running Man" is originally a new program , there are unknowns. If there are no outstanding highlights, I am worried that it will be difficult to be accepted by the people. "

Lin Cuo felt that the deputy director was pretty good, and what he said was quite tactful. The script of this episode was one of the least brilliant episodes in his previous life. If you use the script of this episode at the beginning, then it is predictable that it will hit the street, and it will hit the street very hard.

Director Park can honestly say that the script of this episode is indeed inappropriate in the early stage of the experiment. It’s just that I have just come to Korea, and this plan has not applied for copyright, so I only want Director Park to see this plan. "Running Man" is just a feature of "Running Man". I never thought about entrusting you with the script of this episode to produce, and I ask Director Park for your forgiveness.

Pu Xiongzai really felt a little disappointed. Looking at the script from his perspective, it was indeed not enough for him to place all his chips on "Running Man". When he read the script in his hand, he had the idea of ​​giving up. .

And Lin Cuo's explanation made Park Xiongzai suddenly realize, and Liu Zaishi also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

No wonder, copyright is strictly protected in South Korea. If someone registers "Running Man", Lin Cuo can't find a place to cry, not to mention that Lin Cuo is not a native of the country, so guarding against others is indispensable in this society. understood.

The coffee had been ordered when Lin Cuo arrived. It was not ordered by Lin Cuo himself, but by Park Xiong. From this point, we can see how strict the Korean concept of hierarchy is.

After drinking, Lin Cuo ordered another cup and tasted it carefully. No matter how he drank it, it didn't taste like tea.

Lin Cuo now feels that it is time to drop a blockbuster, and he is doing so.

"Actually, I think Director Park may have fallen into a misunderstanding, which is the script. I wonder if Director Park and Jae Suk have ever thought about whether there would be any unexpected results if there was no script, only an outline, and all the laughs were played on the spot. What's the effect?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zaishi and Park Xiongjae were fried on the outside and tender on the inside. The two of them were stunned unconsciously.

Variety shows are always programs, and the writers set the plot in advance, and then the MC operates according to the script, but Lin Cuo's words made the two feel absurd.

Lin Cuo looked at the expressions of the two of them and understood that this kind of thing would take time to digest, so he was not in a hurry and waited for the two of them to digest this treasonous information.

After a long time, Yoo Jae-seok, who was the first to react, asked: "How can we make a show without a script? How can we make a good show if we don't even know the direction of the shooting?"

Park Xiong nodded, expressing his agreement with Liu Zaishi's words.

Lin Cuo took a sip of coffee, and said slowly but forcefully: "When I say there is no script, I don't mean that there is no script at all, but that the general direction is written in the form of a script, and the details are all controlled by the PD, writer, and MC. The selection of MCs is very important, and it is the key to the success or failure of the show. Therefore, the selection of MCs is actually the core existence of this show, and must be treated with caution.”

"Brother Shi said that some people have mentioned the idea of ​​an outdoor reality show before, but why no one has implemented it? The biggest problem is the script."

"For example, "Love Letter", this program is the first time to experiment with a variety show of an outdoor reality show, and Brother Shi is still in charge of the MC. It should be understood that the writer designs the process in advance, and then executes it. Initially, it may be difficult. That’s right, but watching similar plots with minor differences or direct same plots for a long time will make people feel aesthetically fatigued. In this case, the meaning of MC and guests’ existence is actually minimized infinitely, so failure is already a certain outcome.”

"As for the existence of such a program, the meaning of its existence is entirely because of the personal charm of the guests and MCs. The people who watch it also watch it because they have their favorite idols. It has nothing to do with the program itself. "

""Running Man" is a game designed by the writer, and then the MC will control the progress of the entire program. In other words, the role of the writer is only to design the game and the result. As long as the final result of the game is completed, the other processes can be said to be free to play. , so that the role of the MC is greatly developed, and the guests will better reflect their personal charm in the game, so that not only the program itself can achieve the expected effect, but other aspects will also benefit a lot.”

"Simply design a game for the two, assuming that the number of MCs is set to nine, and each member will have his own name tag on his back, which will be torn off by other members, and the member who is torn off will be eliminated. Among the nine, who can If all members are eliminated, then he can become the final winner, and the winner can get rewards from the show, which can be cash or items.”

"This is not the end. The eliminated players need to accept certain punishments for losing the game. This can increase the authenticity of the program and give viewers a sense of substitution."

"In addition to receiving rewards from the program, the winner will also receive a victory medal. The function of this medal is to accumulate a number of periods. The top three members will be exempted from periodic punishment. The remaining members will receive the ultimate punishment. The intensity of this punishment will be certain. Not too small."

"This will arouse the desire of all members of the program, including the guests, to win and lose, and various funny things such as begging for mercy, betrayal, spies, etc. will appear in the game. If you write all the funny points in this After the clip is aired, I believe the response will not be too bad."

"Moreover, this program will not cause host fatigue. Whether it is for MCs or guests, it can not only play, exercise, but also maintain exposure. It is conceivable that once this program is produced, it will definitely sweep all In the existing variety show, the last sentence, Lin Cuo said sonorously and forcefully, made Liu Zaishi and Liu Zaishi feel blood boiling."

"Hahaha, good, good, good!"

Park Xiong was laughing happily. After Lin Cuo's description, he could fully see the prospects of "Running Man", and now he can't wait to go back to perform production,

After laughing out loud, Pu Xiongzai smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Lin Cuoxi's plan is so good that I lost my composure."

Lin Cuo was also a little surprised. As the deputy director of the variety show bureau of the TV station, he could basically be said to be the leader of this department. Such a gaffe seemed inconsistent with his status!

"Then Lin Cuoxi, let's talk about the acquisition of the script. Tomorrow I will ask someone to apply for the copyright of this plan. It is expected to be completed tomorrow morning and signed in the afternoon."

"I don't know Lin Cuoxi, what is the ideal price for this plan?"

Lin Cuo knew that Korean variety shows are calculated according to how much money is paid per episode, and he does not plan to be the writer of this show, so he still wanted SBS to buy it out at one time, so he said: "I hope Director Park can write the script once. Sexual buyout, and then leave it to your writers to set the storyline. As for the price, as long as Director Park promises me a few conditions, we can discuss it."

"Oh~~ I don't know what conditions Lin Cuoxi has, just tell me and listen, as long as it's not too much, I can fully satisfy it." He was indeed a little afraid that Lin Cuo would open his mouth and make some excessive demands.

Lin Cuo cleared his throat and said: "First, I need a place to live. I hope Director Park can rent a house for me, preferably near SM Entertainment. The time limit is one year. After one year, I Take care of your own accommodation."

"Second, I need to participate in the show and join as a regular guest assistant MC."

"There are only these two requirements. If you agree, you can sign the contract tomorrow. If you don't agree, forget it."

Well, it's a deal, Pu Xiongzai proudly agreed to Lin Cuo's request, the first point is very difficult to put on Lin Cuo, because the income is limited by the bad luck god system, he doesn't have that no matter what Strength to rent a house in Seoul.And the system also has loopholes. The system thinks that this kind of request is equivalent to a dormitory for work, and it is not a gift. That's why Lin Cuo dared to propose it like Park Xiong.

As for the second point, this is exactly what Pu Xiong is looking for. Although the plan is basically fine, success and failure are still unknown, and no one can understand how to make it better than Plan himself.

Such two simple requirements are not a problem at all.
