Chapter 332: Overseas Premiere

Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni took the elevator down to the second floor of the dormitory building.

The multimedia room on the second floor is very large, separated by four separate rooms, each room has TV, speakers and karaoke equipment, and three of the rooms play KBS, MBC and KGS TV programs respectively at night, mainly variety shows and TV dramas.

KBS, MBC and KGS are the three major television stations in South Korea, and these three wireless TV stations occupy the majority of the market share, mainly broadcasting news, variety and drama programs, and there are also more than 20 paid cable TV stations, mainly broadcasting imported movies, American dramas, Japanese dramas and late-night adult dramas.

There are nearly 200 trainees living in SPG Entertainment's dormitory, and not all of these trainees are contracted by SPG, and some of them are trained on their behalf, but the company treats them equally in terms of management.

For these trainees, watching the programs of the three major TV stations is not only a leisure and relaxation, but also a learning process, through the TV screen, they can meet many seniors in the circle, familiar with various variety festivals and TV series.

Everyone was able to discuss with each other in the multimedia room, which greatly relieved the pressure caused by the usual rigorous training.

Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni came to the room where KGS was playing.

The room is not big, with five rows of seats arranged in front and back, which can accommodate fifty or sixty people to watch the show at the same time, but when the two came, there were only three or four people sitting inside, which seemed very deserted.

A large-screen LCD TV hanging from the wall is replaying KGS current affairs programs.

Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni politely greeted several trainees, and then found a place to sit down.

Song Jiayi said softly: "There are so few people." ”

Yang Yanni pursed her lips and said: "They must have all watched the program list, and they know that KGS is showing a TV series introduced from our country at night, so they are naturally not interested, MBC is playing "The Power of the Queen"!"

"The Power of the Queen" is a large-scale costume historical drama recently produced and launched by MBC, and the ratings of the first few episodes have exceeded 25%, and it is very promising to become the first hit drama of this year, and several of the leading actors are famous artists in South Korea, so there are naturally many people watching it.

On the other hand, Korean TV drama audiences are quite xenophobic, and they are not very interested in TV dramas from abroad, even if they are well-made and first-class American dramas, they are not very popular in South Korea, and the ratings of cable TV stations are usually below 5%.

As for Chinese dramas, historical dramas can make Korean audiences a little interested.

Yang Yanni and Song Jiayi didn't know that after SPG introduced "Blue Life and Death Love", it took a lot of effort to broadcast it, and it was not easy to be on the screen of KGS.

SPG first contacted MBC, because SPG had the best relationship with the second-largest TV station in South Korea, but MBC was not very interested in the samples sent by SPG, and the director of MBC's programming department also laughed at SPG's people, thinking that the 1 billion won they spent might as well do charity, at least get a good reputation.

What is the picture of buying a Chinese drama?

There is nothing new under the sun, and the fact that SPG spent a lot of money to buy a Chinese drama in order to open up the Chinese market has long been spread in the circle, and most people scoff at SPG's behavior, thinking that SPG has made a stupid move under the fierce competition of peers such as KG and Han Yi.

It's not that MBC doesn't want it, but the price is very low, and there is no guarantee of a broadcast time.

Of course, it was impossible for SPG to agree to such a condition, so it tried to contact KBS, that is, Korea Broadcasting and Television, but KBS directly refused, leaving no room for negotiation.

In desperation, SPG could only pin its hopes on KGS.

Among the three major TV stations in South Korea, KGS has always been considered to have pro-China tendencies, broadcast many Chinese dramas, and has also filmed documentaries such as Koreans in Beijing, and its acceptance of Chinese dramas is relatively high.

So this time SPG was not turned away, and KGS became interested after watching the sample film of "Blue Life and Death Love" and negotiated with SPG.

However, KGS knew that SPG had hit a wall in the other two peers, so the bargaining was also very ruthless, and finally the two sides negotiated and signed a VAM agreement similar to that of Lu Chen and Haijin Satellite TV, and the amount of copyright transfer was determined according to the ratings.

What SPG has worked so hard to get is the broadcast time of KGS.

"Blue Life and Death Love" airs after KGS's Friday and Saturday current affairs news programs, which airs at 6:30 p.m., with two episodes each, and then adjusted accordingly depending on the ratings.

If the ratings are high, it will be delayed for two hours and put it in prime time, and if the ratings are low, it will be delayed for five hours!

And this is already the best condition that SPG can strive for, and they can only do this step for this imported Chinese drama, and it will depend on the performance of "Blue Life and Death Love" itself in the future.

Yang Yanni and Song Jiayi have a very limited understanding of the situation, and they are limited to a small amount of information about "Blue Life and Death Love" from the Internet, knowing that this TV series is very popular in China.

Of course, the two of them hope that the "Blue" drama can also shine in South Korea, but it is unrealistic to think about it.

After sitting for about ten minutes, seeing that the broadcast time was approaching, there were only three or four more people in the room.

These local Korean trainees are probably curious about the Chinese dramas represented by their own companies, and there are no other hit dramas or variety shows during this time period, so they came with the idea of watching something new.

This could be heard in their whispers.

Song Jiayi has been in South Korea for two years and has learned Korean very well, so she can understand what others say in her ears, so she feels a little uncomfortable.

This discomfort turned into unconvinced, and she couldn't help but secretly pray in her heart for "Blue Life and Death Love" that she hadn't seen yet, praying that she could have at least a result that would not be ashamed.

After the current affairs news broadcast, the opening screen of "Blue Life and Death Love" appeared on the TV screen.

This urban emotional drama introduced in China was officially broadcast in South Korea!

Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni were surprised to find that "Blue Life and Death Love" was not re-dubbed, but the original sound, but with bilingual subtitles.

This made the two feel extremely cordial, and they immediately threw away those messy thoughts and devoted themselves to appreciating the series.

They want to know what kind of charm this TV series that has created a ratings miracle in China!

One episode is 45 minutes, plus the opening and ending commercials, and it took almost 100 minutes to complete the two episodes.

Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni sat and watched it, and they didn't leave for a minute.

After watching it, they felt that this TV series was really good, the storyline was unique, the production and pictures were very good, and the soundtrack was not lost to mainstream Korean TV dramas.

The most important thing is that the real heroes and heroines of the first two episodes have not yet appeared, which has attracted both of them, making them look forward to the follow-up plot.

"It's a very interesting TV series!"

The sudden voice behind him startled Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni.

The two looked back and saw that there were twenty or thirty people sitting in the back rows, all of whom were trainees like them, and the one who spoke was a Korean girl who usually had a good relationship with the two.

Seeing Song Jiayi and Yang Yanni's surprised appearance, a smile appeared on the other party's face: "I like this story very much, it should be there tomorrow, right? ”

Song Jiayi nodded stunnedly: "Okay, okay." ”

She suddenly moved in her heart, and pulled Yang Yanni to the computer room on the same floor, and then swiped her card to surf the Internet, and searched for the relevant content, plot, stills, and tidbits of "Blue Life and Death Love" through domestic search engines

Through the relevant link, Song Jiayi entered the official post bar of "Blue Life and Death Love".

She was surprised to find that there are millions of followers of this post bar, the popularity is very high, and the atmosphere in the post bar is also very good, including many posts discussing the overseas broadcast of "Blue Life and Death Love".

Most of these posts are speculation on ratings, or blessings and prayers.

Through the discussion post, Song Jiayi learned that the author and actor of "Blue Life and Death Love" actually made a bold statement about the ratings of this show in South Korea, and more than 10% will give fans 1,000 copies of the Korean tour!

Such an amazing handwriting made Song Jiayi speechless, and she was even more amazed at Lu Chen's ambition.

10% ratings!

Although Song Jiayi didn't believe that "Blue Life and Death Love" could get such results, she was also infected by Lu Chen's pride and ambition, and couldn't help but use her account to post a post in Tieba.

[I'm in Seoul, South Korea, and I just finished watching "Blue Life and Death Love", and I feel very good. 】

The time difference between South Korea and China is 1 hour, 8:30 p.m. here, and 7:30 p.m. in China, which is the peak time for netizens to surf the Internet, and the popularity of Tieba is booming.

So Song Jiayi's post just sent out, and there were a lot of replies immediately.

It's just that the replies aren't very friendly.

"I'll go, I'll lie to reply again, level 1 trumpet get rough!"

"The landlord posted in South Korea, I replied in Namek, please answer if you receive it!"

"Seoul, South Korea, isn't Seoul the capital of the United States? Why did you go to South Korea, it's not scientific!"

"!"

"It's really fake, there is no picture and no truth. ”

"Look at the landlord's registration ID is a sister.,If it's a real girl.,Please don't make up a story.,Thank you.。 ”

"I'm laughing to death"

Song Jiayi didn't expect such a result at all, and was dumbfounded.

Yang Yanni, who was sitting next to her, saw it, and was so angry that her eyebrows were upside down, and she immediately ran to the multimedia room next door and took a short video with her mobile phone.

"Pass it up and show them, slap these guys to death!"

As a result, the video went up, and the wind direction in the post immediately changed dramatically.

"I'll go, really!"

"KGS TV, I've wronged the landlord, I'm sorry. ”

"Landlord, where are you? Why do you feel that the place is strange, TV hall?"

"The landlord asks for the truth!"

"There are so many girls, ask for the truth!"
