Chapter 680: Wishful Thinking

"As far as I know, Mr. Hang has made outstanding achievements in many fields such as games, e-commerce, and finance, and you also mentioned in your speech that you want to cooperate with us in entertainment. Li Mingbo personally met Hang Yu, so he naturally studied him.

"Yes, but my entertainment company is not big, so I can leave this aspect to my subordinates to negotiate. Hang Yu said.

He has already guessed what the president wants to say, probably hoping that Hang Yu can help South Korean artists and open up the mainland market. But Hang Yu didn't want to do this, and the way he wanted to cooperate was to help him cultivate Chinese artists with the help of the training system of Korean entertainment companies.

It's not that Hang Yu is afraid that Korean artists will occupy the mainland market, but mainly because they have a bad reputation.

Because although there are many Kazakh Koreans in China, there are more audiences who hate Koreans, if Hang Yu signs a large number of Korean artists to help them develop in the mainland, it will not only cause a backlash in the mainland entertainment industry, but also stain his reputation.

Another reason is that Hang Yu knows that there will be restrictions on Korean orders in the future, and the main restrictions are Korean artists and the tourism industry. And the signed artists are often many years, in case the contract period does not expire, to forcibly terminate the contract, not only huge losses but also very troublesome.

It doesn't matter if it's an e-commerce game, the Korean restriction order is out, and I haven't seen how League of Legends is. Moreover, there is generally no need to sign a contract for e-commerce entry, and if there is an accident, it is only a matter of Hang Yu's words to remove Korean goods from the shelves. The key is that e-commerce can find a lot of alternative products when they are off the shelves, and if artists are taken off the shelves, where can they find substitutes in a short time.

"When you gave a speech at Seoul National University, you specifically mentioned the issue of bringing in Japanese films, television and artists, and I think it's a good idea. If you can cooperate deeply in entertainment, you will get a lot of Korean friendships, and other fields will be easy to talk about. Li Mingbo heard Hang Yu's perfunctory meaning, but he didn't want to give up easily, because there are only a few areas that South Korea can take advantage of.

There is an implicit threat in his words, referring to the fact that if you don't cooperate deeply in entertainment, you don't want to profit in other fields.

The Chinese entertainment market is very large, but because of our various restrictions, cultural faults, and blind worship of European and American culture, the development has not been very good. If nothing else, let's talk about the big directors in my country.

Influenced by international directors such as Ang Lee and Jackie Chan, domestic directors are also focused on Europe and the United States. I don't want to please my own audience, but to please European and American audiences, and as a result, the box office of the movie is low, saying that the quality of my domestic audience is low.

Top directors have this thought, can our film industry develop?

I don't want to think about which of those classic movies in China is not recognized by mainland audiences. Whether it is a classic or not, whether it can become a classic, we can all see at a glance, this level of appreciation is even low.

The mainland audience should be the best in the world, take the movie "Undefeated in the East" as an example, the props, lines, costumes, and many fucking details in it.

But the plot of "Undefeated in the East" is brilliant in martial arts, and we invariably automatically ignore those details.

Where to find such a well-served audience, it is still not good to serve.

To put it bluntly, I still look down on mainland audiences, and I think that the things that mainland audiences like are all low-grade things. Even we ourselves feel that the things we like are "dirt" things.

As the saying goes, what belongs to the nation is what belongs to the whole world.

Local culture, in fact, is also a kind of national culture.

Recently, with the development of the Internet, our national and local culture has a tendency to develop further. Excluding individual dross cultures, in fact, this is a good phenomenon, and cultural and entertainment workers should use these cultures.

For example, the big devil is a singer in the song "Jiu'er", and GAI is in the Sichuan flavor of hip-hop. These two can be said to be the characters who have pushed the local style of music to a small climax in the past two years.

I hope that in the future, we will have more and more local style music that can be loved by the audience.

When it comes to regional style music, Cantonese songs are probably the best developed, even surpassing orthodoxy at one point. However, with the economic and cultural decline of the red sky, Cantonese songs are also booming and declining.

Then there's Gangnam style music, but you know, we don't just have one Gangnam and Cantonese district.

This also allows us to see that not only in Cantonese and Jiangnan, but also in other local languages need to be developed. In fact, every local language has its charm, and what is lacking is a capable person who can perfectly integrate the local culture into the popularity.

"As long as it is excellent and healthy films, television and artists, we are happy to bring them in. Hang Yu said undeniably, he did say this issue in his speech, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't distinguish between good and bad.

A considerable part of Korean films and television are too violent, bloody and pornographic, and they can't pass the review at all. More TV dramas are introduced, but Hang Yu is not so interested in Korean TV dramas.

"I believe in Your Excellency's sincerity, but as far as I know, the mainland market does not seem to be very friendly to our films, television and artists. If it is just a simple introduction, I think it will be difficult to achieve anything. Li Mingbo said.

South Korea is not without finding a way to enter the mainland market, but the situation in the mainland is indeed more complicated, and it is difficult to make money. Girls' Generation also has a lot of fans in the mainland, but it just can't make our money.

No way, although our male compatriots also like Korean girl groups, they rarely spend money for them. Therefore, South Korea mainly exports men's groups to us, such as SJ, EXO, etc., which are still relatively profitable in the mainland.

"What is Mr. President's opinion?" Hang Yu probably guessed his thoughts, nothing more than hoping that Hang Yu would spend more money to help them.

"With your company's influence in the social space, if you can guide it, I believe the situation will be much better. Li Mingbo said wishful thinking, he thought that as long as Hang Yu used online social networking to guide Korean artists, they would be able to do better in the mainland.

"This is more difficult, although we are a social platform, we can't influence the user's thoughts. Users like it naturally, and it doesn't matter if they don't like me, I can control some bad remarks at most. Hang Yu said.

"yes, that's not easy. Li Mingbo pretended to be embarrassed.

The various slanders and attacks on the Korean Wave on the mainland network are a headache for Korean entertainment companies.

And the Korean Wave is a major pillar of South Korea's economy, so President Lee Myung-bo personally took action, hoping to use his authority to let Hang Yu help them improve their image in the mainland's online public opinion.
