sinetron cost

hi,guys..

i'm just thinking about simple thing, our original indonesian tv show; or we can say sinetron.

Maybe most of you are agree with me that sinetron is all hyperobolic. The story is all about 1 people tortured by other. Actually I forget when the last sinetron I followed. I think when I'm still in elementary school. But since that time until now, the story is just around that circles. Some of it are good in the early episodes, but when it continued, the story becomes boring and hyperbolic (remember tersanjung 7??). We all know that sinetron is also uneducate, specially for children. The point is, I really can't enjoy any sinetron, no offense for you who like it.hehe!

But, yesterday I saw gossip (third best show after jalan2 and maknyus2an) about young actress that cought when she was having drugs party. It's not her behaviour that I aware, but the gossip told me she gets about Rp.130million per episode. whaaat?? always that high for every artist? Then I found in google that acting yield are between Rp.500.000 - Rp.300.000.000 (Kompas,Juli 2006!). So I conclude that 'sinetron world' is using so much money. I don't want to approximate and calculate how much the cost for 1 sinetron or for all sinetron that showed, i know it must be so high. You can compare with other business (with more useful output for society).

Okay, If sinetron always cost very high,why they can't make a better story???? Logically, you have to spent Rp.130 million for every artist and story maker, so you must want they act very well, also the story. But, the fact is not like that..Maybe because the rating's high, they keep making such a typical story. But i don't think it's because many people like that, we just don't have preference. All the show are same, mau ga mau ya ditonton.

Director, sinetron maker, producer, please make more qualify and educate sinteron, so you don't lose out your money for NOTHING..

At last! New Post!

Hey, don't you remember what one of producer of sinetron said, "in the name of market". That's all.

Actually, what we learned from Marketing Management is as a marketing manager we have to educate the consumer not just following them.

Sinetron producer does not educate the consumer to consume a higher quality TV Show. They rather play in a low risk field such as sinetron.

I think that was the problem.

The hard part is TVRi might be too late to follow the private TV nowadays. I sometimes think how about if govt nationalize one of the TV Station and supervise it to educate consumers. But, I think that may be too hard for govt, too.

TV is for someone doing nothing watching other people doing something, good or bad. Sinetron is financed by advertisers, sponsors, who want to influence behavior of the audience to do or to buy certain products or ideas. The industry can determine and dictates the market, but if the market doesn’t want to be dictated, then the industry will have to adjust.

Well Wiydiy, there's one big factor why the so called "sinetrons" is a bundle of "bad" goods for Indonesia. Because they're produced by a company belong to a group of people not from Indonesia! (sebut saja India! :D)

They don't have any MORAL responsibilities to our people. They produce sinetrons in the name of money, money, and money!

I love Doel si Anak Betawi because it is original and it illustrates the real Betawi. I hope that there will be an evolution in our sinetron industry.
