Chapter 2991 Analysis
Thinking of this being Wu Juntai's signing, Zhao Xiaozhen's PD intentionally, and the acting and cooperation of the program team staff led to the chaos and instability of the "Running Man" program team. So many things that I had doubts before and couldn't see clearly and could not understand clearly, and then I completely figured it out.
Yoo Jae-suk couldn't help but smile bitterly. Why did he encounter such a thing every time? He is just a host, just a variety showman. He just wants to do his best to do his essential work, do a good job in the program, and do his best to make the audience happy. Why does he have to be constantly disturbed and influenced by the outside world with such a simple request?
Yoo Jae-suk thought of his first peak period "XMAN". At that time, the decline of "XMAN" was not due to the internal reshuffle of SBS TV. The forces that originally supported "XMAN" lost and lost resources. The winners also did not want "XMAN" to continue to broadcast. After all, if "XMAN" continues to broadcast, it also means that the lost faction qualifications can continue to give the other party accumulating capital to turn over.
Therefore, "XMAN" seems to have reached its limit on the surface and has to adopt a revised version to strive to save the show. Unfortunately, it is still impossible to save the show in the end, so it can only stop broadcasting sadly.
In fact, that was also a new winner (which controlled the power of the SBS Arts Department at that time) greatly reduced the resources and support for "XMAN", which forced the "XMAN" program team to reprint. The purpose of the revision was not to save the program, but because of limited resources and support, they could only continue recording in the revision mode.
The subsequent "Birth of Family" was also the same. It was done well, but in the end, it caused dissatisfaction of a president at that time because of his great influence. He believed that his influence in South Korea exceeded that of the president. He deliberately arranged for KBS TV to be updated. Yoo Jae-suk and others had lost the sense of freshness and had to replace all members to start the second season of "Birth of Family".
As it turns out, although the second season of "Birth of Family" called on the most popular idol at that time, it seemed that it planned to use the popularity and influence of the idol to successfully pass the renewal period of "Birth of Family" and prepare to show its skills.
But in fact, it proves that what is the use of being high in popularity? It is not good at funny and not good at variety shows. No matter how popular it is, it is useless. Not long after, the second season of "Birth of the Family" had to be cut due to its continuous plummeting ratings.
What a joke? Variety shows are not the world of idols. If you really just look at the appearance and popularity to determine the ratings, influence and lifespan of a variety show, then what other funny artists are needed, just go find idols.
"Infinite Challenge" can become the number one variety show in Korea. Except for Junjin in the middle, the remaining unstoppable members, who has better appearance and who has better figure, can be said to be the team with the worst appearance and figure in Korean variety shows.
But so what? With their own efforts, the unpicked members have made "Infinite Challenge" the number one variety show in South Korea, creating countless new records and new history of Korean variety shows.
Thinking that I had established myself and really wanted to record the second season of "Birth of the Family", it would be best to choose Nikkun among the 2PM group, and not Yoona in Girls' Generation, but Sunny. These people are also idols, and they are also popular and influential. More importantly, they are more adaptable to variety shows.
Unfortunately, KBS TV clearly disagreed at that time and wanted to cut off the show "Birth of Family" to reduce its popularity and influence and not surpass the president. The final result became inevitable. The second season of "Birth of Family" ended in bleak amid countless complaints and attacks.
Thinking of this, Yoo Jae-suk couldn't help but sigh. He was lucky because he was very cautious in his daily life, which really made the president or the people from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism unable to find a chance to deal with him. In contrast, Jiang Hudong paid much more, and was also because of his reputation and influence that he surpassed the president. He was wronged by a series of things, and finally paid his huge benefits and sacrificed his national MC status. In the end, the official explanation was a misunderstanding, and Jiang Hudong was finished with his innocence.
However, at that time, Jiang Hudong's losses were irreparable. The huge losses of interests, reputation, and loss of status as a national MC were still small. However, the indirect losses, as well as the continued losses in the future, especially the losses caused by the loss of the honor and status of the national MC, can be truly considered huge.
After several painful revisions of the program "Infinite Challenge", the program finally improved, and with the efforts of everyone, "Infinite Challenge" has become the number one variety show in Korea today.
But even so, "Infinite Challenge" will be affected and interfered by the MBC TV staff who are not in trouble, which makes Yoo Jae-suk feel very helpless. He wants to say something, but he has no chance or qualification to say it. After all, Yoo Jae-suk is not a staff member of MBC TV, but an artist, and has his own programs on the three major TV stations.
The strike of the MBC TV family did not actually affect Yoo Jae-suk's work. If Yoo Jae-suk spoke, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the staff of MBC TV.
You are not a staff member of our MBC TV station. You don’t have a job at MBC TV station, and you can also go to KBS and SBS to start programs, which will not affect you. You are standing and talking without back pain. Why are you bribed by the senior executives of MCB TV stations? What benefits are you getting? The CIA is the first to come out to speak to them.
Yoo Jae-suk knew very well that once he spoke, there would be various sarcasm and attacks, and he would never get any benefits. The senior executives of MBC TV station would not appreciate it. On the contrary, they were worried that the staff of MBC TV station would misunderstand, thinking that it was the senior executives of MBC TV station who specifically asked Yoo Jae-suk to persuade him, which would arouse the anger and greater dissatisfaction of the staff of MBC TV station.
Of course, Liu Zaishi knew these principles and things very well. So when the MBC TV station went on strike, Liu Zaishi did not express any opinions or opinions, so as not to cause trouble and follow the crowd.
As Yoo Jae-suk thought, Kim Yu-hwan is not a staff member of MBC TV. After leaving MBC TV, Yoo Jae-suk can go to KBS and SBS to continue working, which will not affect Yoo Jae-suk.
Now, what makes Yoo Jae-suk feel helpless is that this situation has occurred again in "Running Man", and it is a direct issue of interests. It involves interests, so this basically means that there is no possibility of peace talks on this matter. Both parties will definitely do their best for their own interests without giving in any way.
Thinking of Kim Yu-fan and KBS Arts and Technology Department fighting for the show "Youth Invincible", Yoo Jae-suk also looked at Kim Yu-fan with some concern and reminded: "Yu-fan, you have to be cautious about this matter. After all, this matter is not as simple as KBS TV. Is KBS TV a national TV station or an image? SBS TV is much more complicated than KSB TV station, or even MBC TV station."
"If possible, it is best to talk. If there is no conflict, it is best not to have conflicts, otherwise things will be very troublesome."
"Inside, I know, brother, don't worry, I know it." Kim Yu-fan nodded with a smile. He certainly would not retreat, but Yoo Jae-suk's reminder was also for his own good. It is also true that the internal situation and complexity of SBS TV is indeed very different from KBS TV. He cannot directly fight and not give in as he does with KBS TV.
When dealing with SBS TV, you must boil frogs in warm water, and you cannot roll up your sleeves and do it as you do with KBS TV. This is not suitable. If you really do this, it will probably arouse strong dissatisfaction and anger among major forces and factions within SBS TV. It is estimated that these people will really choose to fight against Kim Yu-fan in a state of anger because of face issues.
If you really fight to the death and both sides do not retreat, the longer the time, the more you will suffer. After all, no matter how the MC company develops or how powerful it is, it will always be passive when fighting with the TV station.
Not to mention the current MC, even if the MC company is ten times stronger, it will be the same. Unless the MC company has its own TV station and completely asks for dependence on the TV station, then the food can take the initiative.
"Brother, can you help me secretly find out the news and secrets about "Running Man" within SBS TV station? I always feel that Wu Juntai can't eat for no reason and run away and have nothing to do, so I deliberately messed up on the issue of "Running Man". I haven't seen Wu Juntai make the "Running Man" program team mess up. This time I suddenly did this, there must be external reasons."
"Well, I understand. I will help you pay attention and inquire about it at that time." Knowing that this matter is not a trivial matter, it is related to Kim Yu-hwan's personal interests, and also to the interests of himself, Kim Jong Kook, Song Ji Hyo and others. "Running Man" is good, everyone is good, and "Running Man" is finished, everyone will be greatly affected and lost.
Therefore, Liu Zaishi nodded in agreement without any hesitation on this matter.
"I personally think that this matter is likely to involve interests, and it is probably a large part of the interests. Because of the lack of money, Wu Juntai may not be able to take it seriously. He would rather destroy "Running Man" and completely fall in with our MC, and do whatever he wants in "Running Man".
Kim Yu-fan said seriously: "So, my analysis and speculation are that there is a large amount of funds that are directly related to "Running Man". Because the amount is large, even Wu Jun-tae can't sit still. So at this time, Wu Jun-tae will do this on purpose. The purpose is very simple, that is, the end of "Running Man" being cut off at any time, which makes us not optimistic about it and give up "Running Man". After that, we will find a way to take the copyright of "Running Man" from my hands, because after the show is over, I may not care. It will be much easier to take away the copyright of "Running Man" at that time."
Yoo Jae-suk nodded: "Yes, if this is true, then Wu Juntai will only need to spend a very small price to get the copyright of "Running Man" from you. After all, no matter what, "Running Man" is also a program of SBS TV. Although "Running Man" has declined and is about to be cut off, it seems to have no value, but it is still a program of SBS TV. SBS TV purchased the copyright, or even ownership of "Running Man", just to feel comfortable. He does not want his own TV program to appear on other TV stations in the future, and even if he doesn't use it, he will not allow others to use it even if he doesn't use it."
Kim Yu-fan: "Similarly, because it is a matter of principle, and it also loses its value because the program was cut off, and it probably won't be paid any price at that time. Even if I speak out, the other party can say that "Running Man" has lost its value. Our SBS purchased the copyright of "Running Man" completely because we thought that "Running Man" was a program broadcast by our SBS. Although it has been cut, we should stay in SBS. All principles should be purchased. This is like a TV series. The copyright will definitely belong to our SBS in the end. We can wait for more than ten years before purchasing the copyright of the popular TV series at that time, more for sentiment, not for making money. If you want to speak out because of this, you really think that we SBS is a fool. This is not giving face or preparing to slap us SBS in the face."
Listening to Kim Yu-fan's words, Yoo Jae-suk shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he didn't say anything about it.
This kind of thing is really normal for TV stations, and variety shows are a little better, because the planners of variety shows are basically all the staff of the TV station. Even if they are not dealing with TV stations for many years, they have a deep relationship, so it is easy to get the copyright.
Like some popular TV series, after more than ten or twenty years, the influence of TV series has completely passed. The TV station spends a little more money to buy the copyright of the TV series. What kind of sentiment is, our TV station's excellent TV series must not appear on other TV stations, otherwise it will be the biggest slap in the face. In order to prevent this situation from happening, then the copyright is taken down.
But in fact, no one is a fool. Everyone knows that the TV station bought the copyright just for the sake of sentiment. It is obviously impossible, or that is one of the reasons, but the most important thing is to make money. When the time is almost done, we will gather a brand new director and screenwriter and continue to remake.
Nowadays, the script quality is good, the directors and actors are very good, and the remakes are also very good and excellent. At that time, the popularity and influence, including the ratings, will also be very gratifying.
After a while of silence, Kim Yu-fan said, "And judging from Wu Juntai's current reaction, the program team of "Running Man" can still be in chaos, and they don't care about the ratings and influence of "Running Man". Judging from this situation, my personal analysis is related to "Running Man", and there is no need to consider the ratings of "Running Man" and there will be a large amount of funds. After three conditions, it is estimated that someone overseas wants to purchase the copyright of "Running Man".
"Are you going to buy the copyright of "Running Man" overseas?" Yoo Jae-suk was stunned, but then he quickly came back to his senses. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly slapped the table and said, "That's right, it must be like this."
"You don't need to care about the ratings of "Running Man", because you want to purchase copyright overseas, so many parties must have had a detailed and profound understanding of the program "Running Man", and then they decided to purchase copyright. Since they have made up their minds, they don't care at all, and it doesn't matter. Purchasing copyright is just to borrow the content of the program, not for the ratings of the program."
"Secondly, that's a lot of money. If it's just advertising costs, although "Running Man" has a great influence and many businesses use our program as a platform for overseas publicity, the fees have always been relatively stable. It's impossible to suddenly have a lot of money. Unless it's Yufan, as you said, overseas countries are preparing to spend a lot of money to buy the right to use "Running Man" in their country, then in this way, you can really get a large amount of copyright fees."
Kim Yu-fan nodded: "Brother, I think so too, and I am increasingly suspicious that this overseas country should be China!"
"China?" Yoo Jae-suk was stunned, looked at Kim Yu-fan and became curious: "Yu-fan, why are you so sure that this country is China, not another country."
"First of all, no matter how powerful "Running Man" has overseas influence, it is always limited, or the coverage of its influence is limited. It is not that the influence of "Running Man" has gone to the United States, Europe or even Africa!"
"So it is obvious that the overseas influence of "Running Man" is basically concentrated in East Asia or Southeast Asia. Moreover, Mongolia is obviously impossible within East Asia and East Asia, and North Korea in the north is also ruled out. Although Japan seems likely in all aspects, Japan's variety shows are indeed very powerful. It is not the same route as South Korea, but it is a route that is more suitable for the Japanese's own concepts. Therefore, there is no need to buy the copyright of "Running Man". Even if you buy it and shoot it in Japan, it will probably not have any good results."
"Then there will be Southeast Asian countries. Southeast Asian countries are definitely the base camps of Korean waves. Unfortunately, these countries probably won't spend money to purchase the copyright of "Running Man". Countries with economic conditions do not have that demand, such as Singapore and the like, but they will not spend so much money to purchase the copyright fee of "Running Man".
After thinking about it carefully, Liu Zaishi nodded and said, "That's right, in this way, only China has the strength and conditions to purchase the right to use "Running Man" in China. And according to China's economic strength, the copyright fee this time will definitely not be cheap."
Kim Yu-fan nodded: "So, now brother, go and test it out and first confirm whether someone from China is planning to buy the right to use "Running Man" in China. If it is confirmed that it is China, then see if you can determine which local satellite TV station the other party is."
