Further News on the Making of Season 2 Drama Productions
Apparently there are three main reasons that determine the production for Season 2 - "Audience rating, schedule, and material”.
The demand from viewers for Season 2 is extremely high. “Air City” received lots of fan support and it appears production for Season 2 is seriously in consideration though they face difficulties in many aspects in order to meet the requirements. There are some conditions that had to be considered – schedule, appearance fee, material (strong hunch they are referring to scripts), organizing team and the viewers rating which happened to be one of the key factors. Other than rating issue, there’s other matter to consider like raising the actors’ fees and copyright earnings etc. etc.
Subsequent reports were seen posted at Sports Seoul that an alternative proposal has been taken into consideration for the production team to consider Season 2.
Despite ratings count for paving ways for another seasons, some felt they should throw away “Audience/Viewers rating supremacy principle”.
The influence of the audience rating does make a huge difference in drama production. They were considerations for Season 2 for earlier productions of “The Lawyers” and “Sweet Spy” – but the projects were later abandoned due to low ratings.
The “audience rating supremacy principle” was the reason behind the production of “Goong S” after gaining huge success through “Goong”. It was through the achievement and adoption of this principle - "audience rating rules" that gained the confidence and paved ways for the planning of Season 2 or its sequel. “Goong S”, supposedly a sequel to the original, is one of the productions that had different element and cast from the original plot drama, “Goong”.
American series drama which is universally produced based on season system had attained successful run in their home front and foreign countries. In consideration of this, Koreans are studying the possibility of such system to be implemented in their production.
Similar to the planning of Air City (they had earlier planned to make AC as seasonal released kind of drama), the American drama/series, “Prison Break 2” had roped in high ratings and achieved an overwhelming popularity in their release of Season 2. Take note that Season 2 had already been planned and produced while making “Prison Break 1”. My thoughts : Air City should emulate the success of Prison Break 2, if they are still doubtful on making Air City 2 ---- though I strongly feel they are skeptical and worried a similar occurence - same fate as "Goong S".
