The real big winner is someone else!

"Descendants of the Sun" was stranded because the production cost was too high, and because the subject matter was too hard, with war and the army as the backbone, it was difficult to implant advertisements. W itself thought it might lose money, but it became the biggest winner in 2016.

Before filming began, the rights to the TV series were bought by China's iQiyi for $230,000 per episode.

In order to cooperate with the simultaneous broadcast in China, this TV series has been filmed in advance.

After the simultaneous premiere of iQiyi, the number of broadcasts quickly exceeded 30 million, ranking among the top three on the list of hot search topics on Weibo for 20 consecutive hours;In the three weeks of broadcasting, the number of Weibo topic readings of the show reached 3.07 billion, and the number of discussions reached 2.726 million;By the middle of 2016, the number of online broadcasts in China reached more than 4 billion, the number of Weibo readings reached 14.7 billion, 812 sub-topics were generated, and the number of mentions reached 3.48 million...... This familiar situation can't help but remind people of the popular drama "You from the Star"!

To be honest, even Park Ji-hoon didn't expect that it would be so amazing!

As I said before, small fire depends on support, big fire depends on life, and the appearance of works of this level can only be said to be "life".

Originally, he wanted to use this drama to curry favor with the president, and use this positive patriotic education to offset the bad influence of "The Insider". He doesn't think that he can really confront the president, and the reason why Cui Shunsil's woman didn't make a move on him is also because *** doesn't support it.

Although he was concentrating on filming on Jeju Island, he was not completely cut off from the outside world, and he knew through a certain channel that Samsung, Hyundai and other groups had been harvested by Choi Soon-sil! Of course, there must be power and money transactions.

Not only does he understand the importance of intelligence, his mother Shen Huiying also weaved a network of contacts and an intelligence channel in the political circles, which took more than 20 years and was handed over to him after retirement.

You must know that there is no rule in South Korean politics that you will not be guilty of the past after retirement, on the contrary, "settling accounts" is the "fine tradition" of politicians, and many presidents have been discredited in this way.

Shen Huiying was able to retreat with her whole body, in addition to Park Ji-hoon's energy, there is also her own business for more than 20 years! As soon as a member of parliament jumped out and wanted to liquidate, she was bitten by a prosecutor like a "mad dog", and in the end, the evidence was conclusive, and she had to step down gloomily.

South Korea's prosecutors, if you really want to go crazy, even the president can get you out of power!

Of course, there is a need for support from forces behind them, and the mother and son of Shen Hyeyoung and Park Ji-hoon happen to have this kind of strength.

However, it is still necessary to show weakness and make concessions appropriately. "Descendants of the Sun" is equivalent to a show of goodwill to ***, and the effect is unexpectedly good.

It is rare to call him and praise him a few words, and let him make more film and television works like this in the future, and the state will give strong support.

The biggest beneficiary of this drama is the actor Song Joong Ki and the heroine Song Hye Kyo, "Descendants of the Sun" is the former's first work after retirement, it does not need any adaptation period, it is a perfect return, and even its popularity is far greater than before;

I don't know how many actors have attracted envy and jealousy, including many first-line actors!

This kind of popularity, there is no actor who does not want. The most direct, in terms of the popularity of this work, the economic benefits generated are enough for the actor to buy a high-end apartment in rich areas such as Cheongdam-dong and Nonhyeon-dong!

Maybe it's influenced by this drama,. W's TV series ushered in a big explosion in 2016.

"Wu Haiying Again", "Good Wife", "W-Two Worlds", "Dear My Friends", "Youth", "38th Division Mobile Team" ...... A series of works with different colors but equally beautiful were born.

Among them, "Dear My Friends", starring Kim Young-ok, Kim Hye-ja, Luo Wen-hee, Shin Jiu, Park Won-sook, Gao Doo-xin, Shin-gyu and other old-timers, maverickly focused on a group of elderly people who have suffered all their lives but are still optimistic about life, and has been almost unanimously praised by the outside world!

A group of veteran dramas showed the wonderful script to the audience, and each episode had more than one tear, hitting the audience's tearful nerves wave after wave!

Movies are not lagging behind.

"Train to Busan", which was released in the summer, broke the single-day box office record many times, and finally won 11.6 million viewers, and it was also the only movie to break 10 million in 2016.

There is a small episode in it, Ahn Zhaoxi's role in the movie originally wanted to choose Seo Hyun, Park Ji-hoon didn't know it, but Seo Hyun himself didn't know, and the company directly pushed it off for her. I don't know if it's because Park Ji-hoon, or because I don't want Seo-hyun to appear in a zombie movie and affect the image.

Park Ji-hoon and Seo Hyun only saw it in the behind-the-scenes interview of "Train to Busan" later.

The male number one Kong Yu was also able to play after many first-line actors refused, because the protagonist is set as an ordinary little person who is not outstanding.

The number of moviegoers of 11.6 million is 11.6 million, and I don't know how many people regret it!

And also. W was released on behalf of the film, and "The Prosecutor's Biography" starring Huang Zhengmin, Jiang Dongyuan and others finally watched more than 9.7 million people.

"Tunnel" starring Ha Jung-woo, Bae Doona and others not only won 7.12 million viewers, but also had a strong reputation and countless praises!

Variety shows.

. It hasn't been long since W was established, and many variety shows have just ushered in their peak, and new programs such as "New Journey to the West", "Brother I Know", and "My Bear Child" have also steadily climbed, and their popularity overseas has also begun to explode.

Although Park Ji-hoon's streaming video site has been losing money, it has also accumulated a lot of popularity and audience base in countries around the world, which has greatly contributed to the promotion of its programs.

This year, there was a lot of news, big and small.

Kara officially disbanded after 9 years of debut, Kang Dong-won and Lee Jong Suk joined YG successively, f(x) held his first solo concert in 7 years after his debut, 2ne1 member Kong Minji quit the team and left YG, and a limited group from the "produce101" draft. I detonated the national women's group craze, the crystal boy reorganized, . W launched the band group "Blushing Spring", Park Youtian was accused of sexual assault again, and YG released a new girl group for the first time in 7 years.

However, the most shocking of these is the news of Tencent's $8.6 billion acquisition of an 84.3% stake in Supercell!

At the beginning of the year, Supercell released a new game, Clash Royale, which quickly became a global "slaughter chart".

Later, Supercell announced that the number of daily active users (DAU) in the world exceeded 100 million, and the total number of player organizations such as tribes, task forces, and communities established in its four games reached 250 million. And also took the initiative to disclose the 2015 financial report, with revenue of 2.326 billion US dollars and net profit of 964 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 71%.

The unusual high profile makes some people with a keen sense of touch smell an unusual smell.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for this shocking acquisition to break out!

Park Ji-hoon holds 70% of the shares, and all of them are sold, and the price calculated by the media is 7.141 billion US dollars, which he himself did not announce to the public.

7.171 billion, not won, but dollars!
