Reboot the heyday

Chapter 977 SM's Divine Turn
The next morning, SM company.

Wang Taika yawned and looked at the three people in front of him, all of whom were sent by the company to inquire about him.The man in the lead is Li Shiyou, and his identity is Director Xiuman's assistant.The men on both sides just took notes and didn't speak.

"Have you watched the news recently?" Sitting in front of Wang Taika, Li Shiyou asked at the beginning.

"Too busy, not yet." Wang Taika looked like he didn't know anything: "I'm also very surprised, why the company transferred me back from Japan in such a hurry."

Li Shiyou pushed the tablet in front of Wang Taika and said, "Look at these comments."

Wang Taika looked down, and it turned out that it was a comment on the program "Pursuing Taeyeon" with a lot of words, 80.00% of which were bad comments.Of course, this bad comment is for the shooter, not for Taeyeon.Basically, it means that the program PD's brain has improved, what is the intention of filming this kind of variety show?
"Oh." Wang Taika was also helpless, it seemed that things were going in the worst direction.

Li Shiyou said: "The program lasted for half an hour, and it aired for less than three days. The click-through rate of the network has shown explosive growth. Not only the clicks in Korea, but also many IP addresses on the external network. From the data point of view, it is very sharp."

"That's a good thing." Wang Taika said.

"However, 90.00% of Wu's comments are bad comments." Li Shiyou added.

Wang Taika shrugged: "As the PD of the show, I take all the responsibilities. This show has nothing to do with the participants. In short, even if the company fires me, I will accept it."

Li Shiyou looked at Wang Taika: "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure." Wang Taika said dumbly: "This program could not have been produced, but I forced it to be produced. So I accept all the results."

"Good! Very good!" Li Shiyou sat back in his seat and said, "The company plans to continue this show, what do you think?"

"What do I listen to the company's arrangement?" Wang Taika was stunned: "Continue?"

"You heard me right." Li Shiyou took out a piece of paper from the folder next to him, handed it to Wang Taika, and said, "Look at this data."

Wang Taika took it over and took a look, and found that it was the data of several growth indices, but he couldn't understand it, so he asked, "This is it?"

"Although this program has a lot of bad reviews, it can be said to be very popular recently in terms of click-through rate, broadcast volume, and topicality." Li Shiyou looked at Wang Taika and smiled: "I have been in the company for so long , don’t you understand the purpose of our company?”

Wang Taika shook his head: "I'm still in a daze."

"The purpose of the company is that no matter if you are a passer-by fan or a black fan, you are a fan!" Li Shiyou said: "Our company doesn't care about those false comments, and the real benefits are the biggest. The first broadcast of your program Two days ago, the popularity of the most popular TV series has been overwhelmed by the topic. Although many people wrote bad reviews, they never missed watching it. The broadcast volume is proof. Taeyeon’s performance in the show’s life is also very popular. Even online paying members have grown a lot. That's what matters!"

Wang Taika asked: "Is this because the mouth is disgusting but the body is sincere?"

"This metaphor is very good! Although this show made some of Taeyeon's fans feel broken, it attracted a lot of passer-by fans. Before that, Taeyeon's member fans had already become saturated, because they liked listening to music and their looks. You've almost got enough fans. Your show has given Taeyeon a lot of male fans who use her as the standard for choosing a mate."

Wang Taika laughed, he always knew that SM Company valued the interests most, but he never thought that they could pay such attention to interests to such an extent!
"Those bad reviews?" Wang Taika asked, "Is it okay?"

"Don't worry about it, even worse CP speculation is a common method. There is nothing more hated than hyping CP, so this kind of thing is a normal operation." Li Shiyou said: "Director Xiuman also attaches great importance to this matter. , because obviously, your show is no longer a variety show, it's more like a film and television drama, right!"

Wang Taika instantly understood that this was the core of the company's attitude change. SM has a lot of ambitions, and they are eyeing the film and television category, so now they are looking at their ability to create programs?

"The company intends to continue the program and let you continue to be the PD, thinking that it will give you greater privileges. By the way, here is a contract." Li Shiyou took out another contract and handed it to Wang Taika: "You are still employed temporarily, right? If you sign it, you will be a regular employee."

Wang Taika just wanted to laugh, SM company is really calculating.It looks like the company wants to cultivate itself, but in fact it just wants to hold itself in its hands!Because I have already shown the capital worthy of being wooed.

Looking at the contract, Wang Taika shook his head: "I'm sorry, although I really want to be a regular employee, but I can't accept all the terms. It requires that in the field of filming, I can only work for SM until the end of the contract. .With all due respect, it is impossible for me to sign such an overlord clause."

Li Shiyou narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It seems that you have other jobs outside."

"Temporary employees, with that little salary, if you don't find something to do, you will starve to death." Wang Taika admitted in disguise that even if he has no other work outside, he doesn't like to be restrained like this.

"Okay, I have a second contract here." Li Shiyou seemed to be prepared, and took out another contract.

Obviously, this is a routine. At the beginning, cheat. If you succeed, you will make a steady profit. If you don’t succeed, you can take out a second share and still make money.This calculation is all a routine.

Wang Taika took over the second contract, which was indeed much more relaxed, but in this way, he is not considered a regular employee, but an external employee, and is still not a formal employee of SM Company. Many rules and regulations do not have to be followed, but the treatment and authority Naturally, it was much worse.

But Wang Taika didn't hesitate, signed directly, and then pushed the contract: "Anyway, the money has increased, and I agreed. It just so happens that I haven't enjoyed my PD career yet!"

Li Shiyou looked at the contract and said that there was no problem, and said while cleaning up: "This kind of program can attract fans for the participants, but for the program PD, fans hate it. You should be more careful in the future. If The effect is getting better and better, maybe in the future the company decides to create such shows for other idols to attract fans. Those people will be busy when they are just young.”

"Be busy." Wang Taika
Li Shiyou said: "By the way, the company has also officially recognized your identity as the deputy head of the seventh production team. So from now on, you are also considered half of the management team. So even the programs you shoot in the future, all of you will It is planned to be under the jurisdiction of the seven filming groups, and you can just talk to the group leader directly about the resources, and you have the final say."

"Deputy team leader?" Wang Taika smiled and said, "Isn't there no such position in the company?"

"It was there before, but it was canceled later. The deputy team leader of the film crew is always the deputy of the team leader's private appointment. This can be regarded as a little privilege for the team leader. But you are now an exception." Li Shiyou He smiled and said: "The company is making an exception for you. Come on, maybe the first foreign team leader in the company's history is you!"

Wang Taika smiled, but did not speak.
