Three days later.

Zhao Lei came out of MBC with a long sigh of relief, but the expression on his face was still a little dignified.

"How about it, Brother Zhao, will the result of the negotiation with MBC be successful?"

On his side, Sun Yan couldn't help but open his mouth and asked curiously. Although he has been present during the entire negotiation process with the TV station just now, he is a complete newcomer, and he can't understand South Korean, so he can only be used as a decoration when he stays inside, but fortunately, he also knows that the domestic arrangement for him to come over is purely for Zhao Lei's current experience, so he doesn't have too many unrealistic ideas, and he can do his role as a newcomer with peace of mind.

Zhao Lei glanced sideways at Sun Yan, he was not going to speak, but he remembered that the station arranged for the other party to follow him to South Korea, and it was always a little too slack not to explain something, so he thought for a while before speaking: "The situation is not very optimistic, MBC is obviously not very satisfied with our bid, of course, if it is just not very satisfied, it is not a big problem, after all, the problem in this area can be light, but the key is ......"

"I'm not satisfied, but I think the people on the other side have a good attitude towards us. ”

Because of the language barrier, the whole negotiation process relied on translation, and Sun Yan noticed MBC TV's attitude towards him, and smiled at him from time to time, making him feel good about him.

When Zhao Lei heard this, he was a little speechless: "Nonsense, let's come over to negotiate the copyright of variety shows, to put it bluntly, we are sending money to their TV station, do people still cry if they don't smile at you!"

After that, remembering his previous feelings on the TV station, Zhao Lei couldn't help but sigh again: " Originally, I thought that the whole negotiation process would go smoothly, and even if it could not be negotiated all at once, at least I would be able to finalize some preferential rights with the MBC people for the future copyright purchase, but I didn't expect that the South Korean TV station was not willing to give up this point, and it was obvious that either the MBC people wanted to sell the program at a price, or someone had already negotiated with the TV station one step ahead of us. ”

This time, Zhao Lei rushed to MBC mainly for the ace variety show "Infinite Challenge" known as South Korea, and Huaxia TV had already made an explanation before leaving, asking him to talk about the copyright issue as much as possible. However, after Zhao Lei actually arrived, he found that the whole thing was far from being as easy as he thought.

"Infinite Challenge" is one of the few programs in South Korea that is called a national variety show, MBC is obviously quite concerned about the copyright of this program, although it is not as big as a lion in terms of price, but it is obviously a lot of copyright fees, of course, if it is just a matter of price, the TV station represented by Zhao Lei is not too tight, after all, when it comes to financial resources, all the first-line TV stations that can be named in Huaxia can be said to be far more than any wireless station in South Korea.

It's just that what worries Zhao Lei even more is the analog attitude of MBC, obviously not too enthusiastic about his arrival, especially when it comes to the copyright of the TV station about the program "Infinite Challenge", he always leans on other programs intentionally or unintentionally. After the whole negotiation, there was no intention to give up the copyright of the program at all.

This gave Zhao Lei some bad premonitions.

This time, the TV station's desire to buy the copyright of the national variety show "Infinite Challenge" in South Korea may be in vain, after all, it is only natural that "Infinite Challenge" is more famous than "Running Man" in South Korea, and the copyright is valued by various TV stations in China.

In this regard, MBC may have negotiated with Huaxia TV personnel more than once, and it was actually a little late for me to come this time.

"Brother Zhao, what are we going to do next?"

Although Sun Yan is a newcomer who doesn't know anything, he can also detect from Zhao Lei's reaction that this trip to South Korea has obviously not been smooth so far, and said with some eyes.

Although the unfavorable MBC variety show negotiations were a bit demoralizing, Zhao Lei also knew that China did not send himself abroad for such a result, so he took a deep breath: "Go on, we still have those TV stations that we haven't been to?"

"The three big TV stations have already run through, and the rest is only the cable station that I haven't seen, and I asked the accompanying translator before, and I heard him say that there are quite a lot of cable stations in South Korea, some similar to our local stations in China, but the scale is even smaller, and the scope of broadcasting is mostly limited to Seoul. ”

Zhao Lei listened to Sun Yan's introduction, and then interrupted and asked: "The TV stations that are too famous will be removed, and it will be useless to go, and the focus will be on the famous cable stations in South Korea, which ones are there?" I came to negotiate the copyright of variety shows, although South Korea is different from China, but I think the situation about variety shows is similar, the more famous the TV station, the more able it is to produce excellent programs, as for those TV stations that are not famous, they can't even be famous, so why do you have the luxury of expecting any too good variety shows waiting for you to buy the copyright.

Sun Yan hurriedly opened the information he found, flipped through it and said: "The only famous ones are JTBC, tvN, OCN, Channel A and Al Jazeera, as for variety shows, JTBC, tvN and ......"

"Al Jazeera?

"No, the one in Qatar is Al Jazeera, the Arab one, and the one in South Korea is BDTV, which has only suddenly become popular in the last year or two, and the cable TV station that focuses on variety shows is said to have launched a lot of variety shows that have been widely acclaimed in South Korea, and the "Masked Singer" that was favored by the domestic TV station was also launched by this TV station. ”

Sun Yan obviously also mentioned that he had learned about it, and knew that there were two TV stations with similar names, but they were only somewhat similar in name.

Originally, Zhao Lei didn't pay much attention to Al Jazeera, after all, the whole of South Korea is so big, compared to the negotiations between wireless and cable stations, he really didn't have too high expectations. However, as soon as he heard Sun Yan's "The Masked Singer", he immediately cheered up a little, although he had not watched this show, but the senior management in the front desk of his departure also mentioned it, and he also took a few glances at the introduction of this show.

I knew that the ratings of this program were very high in South Korea, and it was also a singing program that was very much in line with the popular trend in China in recent years, but I didn't expect it to be produced by a cable TV station.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei immediately said unequivocally: "Okay, then let's go to Al Jazeera first......
