This news from the United States had a great impact on the Korean public, and it was even comparable to CJ Group's stake in DreamWorks.

At that time, many Koreans cheered, thinking that Korean film production could be in line with the world's top Hollywood.

After that, with the convenience of DreamWorks, Korean cinema has indeed made great strides.

"Taiji Flag Flying" was filmed with the technical support of DreamWorks, and South Korea's own special effects production company was born because of DreamWorks.

But because of different national conditions, different markets, and different cultures, there is not much nutrition to be drawn from DreamWorks in the end.

And in recent years, Hollywood has gradually shown a trend of decadence, there are few good movies, and the so-called Marvel hero films with big IP have made people have a tendency to get bored.

Compared with the decline of Hollywood, American dramas are showing a thriving trend.

There are many fans of American dramas all over the world, always waiting to watch.

Naturally, there are a lot of them in South Korea, and I have also fantasized that when Korea can be produced like an American drama.

As a result, no one expected that this day was not very far away.

In the past, in the public's impression, Shi Zhenqiu was an artist.

It's just that his career as an artist is relatively successful and has been recognized by the whole world, so he has also become the pride of South Korea.

Although he is still an amazing screenwriter, the masterpieces are endless. He is also a director of Mystic and is the operator of an entertainment company.

But the latter two identities are completely incomparable to his career as an artist.

Because he has left a deep image in the minds of the public with his profession as an artist, even though he is already amazing, the public does not feel how lofty he is.

In other words, in the public's perception, his status is still inferior to Lee so-man, Park Zhen-young and others.

But this time, when they learned that Shi Zhenqiu had formed the Asian Film and Television Alliance, and had also invested in Netflix, the company, JYP company, YG company, IHQ company and other large enterprises, the people suddenly realized that this young man, unconsciously, had become a predator in the entertainment industry that no one could ignore.

Even, what he did was much more powerful than those traditional powerhouses.

"Wow, Son Ye-jin is amazing. It's easy not to find a man, one trick is the most powerful. ”

"Of course, people who can take out a trillion at will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives. ”

"Wow, after finding such a man, Son Ye-jin can completely stop filming. ”

"Son Ye-jin won't be a full-time wife in the future, right? ”

"Giving birth to a son should be like Shi Zhenqiu, and giving birth to a daughter should be like Son Yezhen!"

It can be said that Shi Zhenqiu's strategy was successful. Because of this shocking news, the disturbances around him and Son Ye-jin have subsided a lot.

Now the outside world is paying more attention to whether the cooperation between the Asian Film and Television Production Alliance led by Shi Zhenqiu and Netflix can be successful.

Can the first Netflix work written by Shi Zhenqiu be a success?

"Why this theme?"

In the office in Los Angeles, Gong Yu also came.

He was summoned by Shi Zhenqiu, and to create a masterpiece like "House of Cards", of course, iQiyi is a partner.

It's just that after Gong Yu rushed over, he saw the script of "House of Cards" and couldn't help but scratch his head a little.

He never expected that the script created by Shi Zhenqiu would actually be a political drama.

Thinking about the atmosphere in China, such a drama must be difficult.

Shi Zhenqiu didn't understand Gong Yu's mentality for a while, on the contrary, he was a little puzzled.

"Isn't this a good subject? But after a lot of research, we found that the audience was very enthusiastic. Of course, we will shoot whatever the audience likes. ”

Gong Yu only had a sigh left.

"I admit you're right, but you don't know much about China's national conditions. In our case, it's taboo. ”

He rushed over in a hurry, thinking that since he had reached a cooperation with Netflix, iQiyi could import the copyright of this first pioneering work and become the exclusive broadcaster in China.

Now seeing that it is this theme, Gong Yu can't help but be discouraged.

Hearing his words, Shi Zhenqiu suddenly realized that he had neglected something.

But soon, he laughed.

Compared with Gong Yu's loneliness, Shi Zhenqiu didn't feel the difficulty at all.

"Hahaha, our Mr. Gong, you are really worried. ”

"Why do I say that?"

Gong Yu was still annoyed that he had to miss the introduction of the first work, and he didn't expect Shi Zhenqiu to laugh at all.

He didn't think he was thinking wrong.

He had just finished reading the script of "House of Cards", and he remembered it vividly.

A good script is a good script, even if he doesn't know much about film and television directing, he has to admit that he has been attracted.

But the things involved in it are too dark. In his experience, it is very difficult for such a drama to pass the censorship and be released in China.

It's just that his worries didn't last long, and Shi Zhenqiu's words suddenly opened up a new understanding for him.

"Although this drama is about politics and the content is relatively dark, what are you worried about? This is about American politics, not China. As an adversary, I think China would like to let its own people know more about the United States' unbearableness. So, you just believe me, absolutely no problem. ”

Gong Yu listened and laughed slowly.

He admits that he really seems to have been a little too careful.

Indeed, as Shi Zhenqiu said, domestic film and television production is very taboo to insinuate the authorities or something. However, for foreign film and television works with similar content, the control is not strict.

There is only one reason, and that is the excitement of others, just look at it. By the way, we can also criticize the decay and darkness of capitalism and highlight the superiority of our own political system.

This is the case all over the world.

From this point of view, it seems that the difficulty of passing the trial is really not very great.

Shi Zhenqiu also thought about it in great detail, and proposed to Gong Yu: "In this way, you go back with the script and find someone from the relevant department first." If it's not a big problem, let's talk about the follow-up. ”

Gong Yu thought about it and felt that Shi Zhenqiu's proposal was good.

Whether this drama can pass the trial, he can't say at this time. It's better to take the script and go back to consult first and understand the scale.

But he still didn't understand something.

"This matter doesn't seem to be in a hurry, right? After the filming of this drama is completed, we will directly take the finished product to the review, isn't it the same?"

Shi Zhenqiu scratched his head with a wry smile.

"Mr. Gong, I have to say that your domestic approval system is too long. If you wait until that time to submit for review, it will affect many deployments. ”

He was afraid that Gong Yu would not understand, so he simply said it more carefully.

"It's the age of the Internet, and there are a lot of people in China who like American dramas. In this way, in the case of demand and market, some subtitle groups for translating American dramas came into being. After these subtitle groups have translated American dramas, they will be posted on the Internet and will be seen by many viewers for free. This way bypasses your current regulatory system, and is much more efficient than those of you who run the legislature. Think about it, if you go to the review again at that time, the audience will have already watched it through other channels. ”

What Shi Zhenqiu said, Gong Yu didn't know. But all he could do was smile wryly.

"This is not something that can be changed by my ability!"

Shi Zhenqiu laughed again.

"So, we can't change the rules, so we have to be strategic. That's the only way to maximize efficiency, isn't it?"

Gong Yu immediately understood.

"What, do you have any ideas?"

Shi Zhenqiu nodded, not to mention, he really made complete preparations for this.

"That's what I think, you see if it's feasible or not. ”

"Because we are an online film and television producer, it is different from the average traditional TV station. So we have a lot of flexibility when it comes to how we choose how to play. For the sake of advertising costs and ratings, TV stations generally take one or two episodes a day to broadcast them, and try to delay them as much as possible. But we are an online platform, and there is no limit to ratings, so we can completely change the way of broadcasting. For example, we can put all the episodes that have been filmed in one go, so that the audience can watch them at one time. We rely on click-through rates and subscriptions to make money, as long as this changes, there will be no lag problem on your iQiyi side. ”

Gong Yu listened very carefully, and he was constantly thinking about the feasibility of Shi Zhenqiu's strategy.

"You mean, we're going to shoot the TV series first, and then put it on the platform in one go. In this way, if we introduce it from iQiyi, it won't give pirates any chance, right?"

Shi Zhenqiu said approvingly: "That's true, there is another benefit to doing this." That is, after filming in the United States, we can leave time for iQiyi to report for review, and then realize the simultaneous broadcast of the world. In this way, as long as you are well prepared to deal with domestic laws, then there is no risk of piracy. Of course, the prerequisite is that this drama can pass the review in China. That's why I want you to test the direction of the wind with the script first. ”

Gong Yu understood everything, and he had to admit that Shi Zhenqiu's approach really had great possibilities.

Even if House of Cards doesn't work this time, it's perfectly fine to do so in the future.

It's really like Shi Zhenqiu said, if it is really realized, then there is really no piracy.

After all, in the same case of efficiency, the genuine one will always have an advantage.

"Alright, I'll go back now. Like you said, maybe it's not really a big problem to pass the trial. ”

Although China's film and television approval is cumbersome, if there is no problem in reviewing the script in advance, then the process will be greatly simplified in the subsequent review of the work.

In addition, Netflix is not a TV station, so it is completely possible to wait for iQiyi's approval.

If you don't take the opportunity, it's too much to say.

However, Gong Yu also knows that if Netflix and the Asian Film and Television Alliance want to do this, iQiyi will definitely have to pay greater benefits for this trip.

But on the whole, if it can catch up with the global simultaneous broadcast, iQiyi's income will also increase a lot.

One in and one out, in fact, iQiyi still earns more.

On the return plane, Gong Yu made up his mind. In any case, it is necessary to promote the approval of "House of Cards".

At the same time, he also felt a little that iQiyi's participation in the Asian Film and Television Production Alliance this time was definitely a clever move.
