Chapter 809: Still Poor
(PS: I watched Warship Island yesterday, and my mood is very complicated, I'm not advocating how good Korean movies are, but I still recommend everyone to watch it, and then compare those domestic anti-Japanese dramas, it's really depressing, it's obviously such a serious subject Why can the things we shoot can only be used as complaints, but others can shoot shocking effects, those brainless screenwriters should really reflect on it.) )
The fluttering tens of billions floated into Taeyeon's ears like this, but after being hit one after another, Taeyeon already had a certain amount of resistance, but after a while, he naturally accepted it.
Kim Jong Kwon is not bragging, or trying to tease Taeyeon, but it is true.
At the beginning, he strongly demanded the copyright to be retained, and after the fire of "Gentleman's Character", 8 countries have approached SBS for negotiation, and SBS did not hide anything for his share, but helped Kim Jong Kwon to negotiate as hard as possible in order to maximize the benefits.
In the era of great development of the Internet, IP is the most important resource, and some popular online dramas can even exceed 10 billion won just by selling copyrights, not to mention the popular dramas broadcast by TV stations.
It is roughly estimated that the benefits brought by this drama to the two main investors Kim Jong-kwan and So Ji-sub will not be less than 20 billion won, even if SBS will take a share of it, the two of them will be extremely objective income if they split it in half!
And copyright is not a consumable, it can be the same as cutting leeks, harvesting one wave after another, until its potential value is completely squeezed out, but that will be an extremely long process.
In contrast, the new round of advertising endorsement negotiations between major businesses and Admiralty Kwon is the big one!
It's easy to shoot a few advertisements, with a few sets of posters, and tens of billions of dollars of income will be in hand, and there is more money faster and easier than this.
When Kim Jong Kwon officially terminated his contract with CJ in October, it was just when the two-year contract he signed with major merchants expired, and because Kim Jong Kwwon 'rested' for a year, all the people who came to negotiate with major brands invariably chose to lower the commercial value of Kim Jong Kwon.
This is understandable, even an artist of Kim Jong Kwon's level will be abandoned by these cold-blooded businessmen who only pursue profits as long as they lose their popularity.
Even if Kim Jong Kwon's popularity did not decline because of this year's 'rest period', who would be unhappy if he could pick up the leaks, which means that less money brings greater benefits, which is a temptation that merchants cannot resist.
Not to mention CJ's deterrence and influence, although CJ can't cover the sky with one hand, the possible impact of finding an endorsement from Kim Jong Kwon, who is obviously not dealing with him, will naturally be considered as one of the conditions.
Considering these conditions, these people who come to the door are very cautious, and even the word cautious is too beautifying them, maybe they should be used as 'charity'?
Kim Jong-kwon, who was slapped in the face, naturally did not choose to compromise, but temporarily shelved the negotiations, preparing to complete "The Character of a Gentleman", a work in which he was very confident.
Kim Jong Kwon is not a short-sighted person, it can be seen from the fact that he would rather spend half a year to fight for his due benefits, which is more important, when he was waiting for "Bread King Kim Zhuoqiu" to break 50 ratings with a desperate idea, it is naturally the same now!
This is also one of the reasons why Kim Jong-kwon, after his comeback, would rather hold the idea of not recovering the cost and make a big move to prove himself!
Fortunately, God did not abandon him, and the double explosion of popularity and topic of "Gentleman's Character" this time gave him great confidence, and also put great pressure on those merchants who were still waiting.
So in this case, the negotiations were opened again, and the dominant position in this new round of negotiations became Kim Jong Kwon, who once again proved his appeal with the new drama.
At this time, it is those who are ready to pick up the bargain, especially at the juncture when "Gentleman's Character" may break the 40 ratings at any time, and every 0.1 percentage point increase in the ratings proves the strength of Kim Jong Kwon, and they have to pay more benefits if they want to sign a contract.
But this time, no matter how they urged and quoted, Kim Jong-kwan and his agent Park Chang-cheol were unmoved, and they were clearly ready to wait until the finale of "A Gentleman's Character" or an episode broke 40 ratings before talking.
is the so-called business, although they are annoyed, they have nothing to complain about, because they were unkind first, and now they can't blame Kim Jong Kwon for not doing it properly, and it is not wrong to fight for the greatest interests for themselves.
Therefore, after the withdrawal of those competitors who have self-knowledge and lack of strength, what remains is basically all the bigwigs who are 'full of sincerity' and are not afraid of the name of CJ at all.
And because Kim Jong Kwon has also become well-known in the world, especially after the popularity in Asia is even more terrifying, the people who come to seek cooperation are not only limited to China, but also many well-known overseas brands have also hit him with ideas, which has added a fire to the already enthusiastic competitive atmosphere.
In the past few days, Kim Jong Kwon has also discussed with his agent in his spare time, and has begun to roughly screen, and has prepared several sets of plans according to the final results of "A Gentleman's Character".
I believe that the day when he waits for the finale of "A Gentleman's Character" will be the day when he reaps the fruits of victory!
Another one of his cooperation with Universal is almost over, and there doesn't seem to be any sign with him, and Kim Jong Kwon doesn't care, what he cares about is the settlement for him.
With the final ranking of No. 6 on the Billboard, the song "Sugar" naturally generated extremely high profits, and although his share of the contract was very low, it would be much stronger than if he had previously chosen to sell it for a hammer sale.
That alone will bring him millions of dollars.
That's why he said to Taeyeon that there would be tens of billions of dollars in the future, although the tone sounded a little too casual, giving people an invisible pretend, the most deadly feeling.
But his casual attitude is his most real feeling rather than deliberately pretending to be 13 or something, it seems that he has made a lot of money in recent years, but it is in South Korea that you can have a bit, if you put it overseas to compare, the celebrities who earn more than him every year are really a big deal!
The guys on the Forbes Global Celebrity List of Earners, even the lowest-ranked celebrities have an annual income of at least tens of millions of dollars, and if converted into Korean won, they must at least have an annual income of more than 50 billion to barely catch a ride!
If the celebrities at the top of the ranking earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year, it is completely unimaginable!
So Kim Jong Kwon doesn't feel that he has anything to be proud of in this little 'little money' he earns, there is no harm if there is no comparison, and he can only gain the admiration of others in China.
