Chapter 80

"Extremely outstanding, it even makes me want to turn this plan into reality right away! Mr. Liu Zaitian, although I have already fantasized about your talent for planning variety shows more than once, I still want to sincerely praise you. However, may I ask how you envision the host team for this show? And, how do you hope to collaborate with our TV station?"

After receiving Minister Kim Myung-hee's approval and indication, Lee Myung-han took over the conversation and directly asked Liu Zaitian.

"Thank you for your praise!" Liu Zaitian humbly smiled and continued, "Regarding the host team for 'Two Days & One Night,' I have the following thoughts. First, since this show is a real-life wilderness variety show, the MC team must have outstanding leadership and adaptability to guide the show according to the production team's plan. I believe that Mr. Kang Ho-dong is the best choice for this role."

"Kang Ho-dong?... Indeed, his strong hosting style, combined with his outstanding eloquence and adaptability, makes him the perfect choice." After a moment's thought, Lee Myung-han nodded in agreement with Liu Zaitian's suggestion.

"With Kang Ho-dong as the main host, I think the other co-hosts should be Mr. Kim Jong-min, Mr. Yoon Ji-sun, Mr. Lee Soo-geun, Mr. Kim C, Mr. MC Mong, and Mr. Lee Seung-gi. These six would be a good choice..." Liu Zaitian continued.

However, he was immediately interrupted by Kim Myung-hee, who was listening intently, "Wait, Zaitian? Why isn't there a place for you in this show?"

"Well, it's like this. In the combination of hosts I've considered, they already cover most of the necessary images. If I were to join, there would inevitably be a role conflict with Mr. Lee Seung-gi during the show's development phase. Additionally, the shooting of this show will become increasingly challenging, so I decided to exclude myself from the consideration." Liu Zaitian smiled awkwardly and slowly explained.

"That's not acceptable, you're a young person... Well..." Kim Myung-hee was about to say that a young person who doesn't know how to endure hardship can't be trusted, but he suddenly remembered Liu Zaitian's specific identity from his friend, and the rest of his words died in his throat.

Even though Kim Myung-hee didn't say it, Liu Zaitian understood what he meant.

To put it simply, it was for a guarantee! Although his first planned show is now a huge success, there is no doubt about his capabilities. No one can guarantee that every show he plans will be successful, especially for Sunday variety shows, which are a fiercely competitive time slot among the three major TV stations, where even the slightest mistake is not allowed.

"Then, let's do it this way..." After a moment of thought, Liu Zaitian spoke again. KBS seeking his help in planning a variety show was a sign of their trust, so he should return the favor.

Hearing Liu Zaitian speak, Kim Myung-hee and Lee Myung-han immediately focused their attention on him, while Roh Young-shik was carefully reviewing Liu Zaitian's show plan.

"After the show starts recording, I will participate as a special MC to help the production team get familiar with the plan and assist the MCs in finding their roles. I will also help everyone get used to the show's characteristics, and then I will step back after the adjustment period. However, this will depend on whether our future chief PD, PD Lee Myung-han, and Uncle Myung-hee agree." Smiling, Liu Zaitian finished his explanation. This was a sudden idea that came to him, but whether it could be implemented still required their agreement.

"I think it's fine!" Nodding, Kim Myung-hee spoke first.

Seeing this, Lee Myung-han naturally had no objections and nodded in agreement. As for Roh Young-shik, well, let's ignore his thoughts for now, as he is just a minor character.

"Since everyone is fine with it, I will now outline the general cooperation plan. These are just my ideas, and the specific negotiations will be handled by a dedicated person."

The main event! Instantly, Kim Myung-hee and PD Lee Myung-han sat up straight.

"For the show 'Two Days & One Night,' I will completely transfer all rights to KBS TV. The planning and formation of the production team will be led by KBS TV. While I will participate in the show, I will only have advisory rights, and the actual implementation will be the responsibility of PD Lee Myung-han. Of course, if initial investment is needed from JS, we will not refuse..." Liu Zaitian's intention was simple: he only provided the show's plan, and he had no intention of participating in the copyright revenue.

This was different from his involvement in 'Infinite Challenge.'

For 'Infinite Challenge,' not only the overall copyright but also the selection of the production team members and MCs were led by Liu Zaitian, with JS participating in its creation. In other words, 'Infinite Challenge' belonged more to JS Entertainment than to MBC TV.

However, in terms of profit sharing, because it occupied a time slot on Saturday at MBC TV, and to maintain a good relationship with the TV station, most of the profits went to the TV station, with only a small portion going to JS.

This situation completely surprised everyone present, "Zaitian, are you sure?"

Kim Myung-hee couldn't believe it, as such generous terms were hard for anyone to accept instantly. Moreover, with Liu Zaitian's personal involvement, he didn't believe he would risk offending KBS by making such a joke.

"Yes! All rights to 'Two Days & One Night' will belong to KBS TV, but I hope that when we launch our artists, KBS TV will provide strong support." Exchanging a show's plan for a TV station's friendship, Liu Zaitian believed it was a very worthwhile deal.

Especially with the debut of Lee Ji-eun in 2008, JS's long-hidden fangs would be fully revealed. Relying on the dormant promotional channels, Liu Zaitian didn't know how much power they still had, so expanding new channels was now urgent.

Having the friendship of one of the three major TV stations in South Korea would be invaluable for JS's future development.

As for what needed to be paid, it was just the overall control of a show and some profits. For Liu Zaitian, who wasn't very ambitious, this wasn't a difficult thing to do.

"Oh? Is JS going to start launching artists?" If that was the case, it made sense, but KBS TV was still getting a great deal compared to JS.

"Yes, in 2008, our first artist will debut. I hope Uncle Myung-hee will take good care of them!" Liu Zaitian smiled.

"Of course, I wouldn't be a good uncle if I didn't take care of your company's artists." Smiling, Kim Myung-hee was really starting to like Liu Zaitian more and more.
