Chapter 205: Just waiting for this day
During the Chinese New Year, Huaguo TV broadcast a TV series from South Korea called "Jealousy" in non-prime time.
This is the first TV series that Hwakook imported from South Korea.
Lin Zixuan saw it by chance and felt quite surprised, so he asked an acquaintance in Huaguo TV.
This TV series, called "Jealousy", was introduced to China as a cultural exchange event between China and South Korea after the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1992, and it set a ratings record when it was broadcast in South Korea.
Just as Hwakook's "Desire" was transported to other countries, in South Korea, it is a representative drama.
Lin Zixuan asked about the ratings, and the people from Huaguo TV smiled bitterly.
The top management of Huaguo TV originally had a lot of expectations for this drama, after all, "Jealousy" is indeed very popular in South Korea, and this is a cultural exchange task between countries.
Although the station did not broadcast it in prime time, it also attached great importance to it, but as a result, the response to "Jealousy" was mediocre after it was broadcast in China.
This drama is a youth drama that tells the love story between men and women, and the men and women have twists and turns because of concerns and misunderstandings, and finally the misunderstanding is eliminated, and the two come together.
Huaguo TV did a sample survey to find out the reason for the bad response.
Older people are not interested in this kind of drama, young people feel that the filming is average, and it is not as good as "Addictive", and the characters in the play are somewhat contrived and not real enough.
This is the attitude of Chinese people towards Korean dramas in this era.
At this time, Chinese people watched TV series more about stories and actors' performances, rather than gorgeous shapes and handsome men and beauties.
Of course, it may also be that Chinese audiences are not used to watching this kind of idol drama, and domestic TV dramas are generally relatively simple.
Lin Zixuan looked for a night and specially watched this Korean drama to feel the impact of the Korean Wave.
"How do you look at this, I feel that the filming is not very good, the actor is a bit floating, not solid. Mu Shanshan said strangely.
"Look at how people shoot it, it may not be popular now, and it will be difficult to say in the future. Lin Zixuan explained, "We should also pay attention to the popular trends of other countries when we do film and television, and besides, young people are becoming more and more romantic, and this kind of romance drama may have a market in the future." ”
"But this is too unreal, is it true that Korean men and women fall in love like this?" Mu Shanshan asked, "I have also read romance novels, don't try to fool me." ”
"Just because it is unreal to satisfy the fantasy of young audiences for beautiful love, plus the actor is handsome and the actress is beautiful, this is called an idol drama, the highlight is not the storyline, but the face of the star, isn't that how those star chasers came. Lin Zixuan gave an example, "If the singers are all very ugly, will anyone chase stars?"
At this time, Huaguo did not have the concept of idol dramas, and "Addiction" was the first romance drama in Huaguo.
"It's scary to say that, but I don't want to watch a TV show like that. Mu Shanshan shook her head and said.
"Haven't you noticed? In the past, the subject of the conversation valued the gentle and kind personality, but now the subject of the conversation values the appearance and figure. Lin Zixuan quipped, "So, in the future, it will be an era of looking at faces." ”
"What about you, what did you value me when we were talking about each other?" asked Mu Shanshan with a smile.
"A woman like you, who combines beauty, wisdom, gentleness and generosity, has no focus, everything is good, and it can only be said that I am lucky. Lin Zixuan praised.
"You don't have to say one thing, I can understand why you're watching this show today, it's a reminder to me, and I reacted. Mu Shanshan said unhappily.
"What's the reminder?" Lin Zixuan was puzzled.
"What's the name of this show?" Mu Shanshan prompted.
"It's called "Jealousy"!" As soon as Lin Zixuan's words came out, he came to his senses and hurriedly remedied, "You think too much, this is purely an accident, let's not watch it, this drama is boring, you can guess the plot after watching the front." ”
Lin Zixuan got up and turned off the TV, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, you should be cautious when watching TV series in the future.
He understands the reason why this TV series can't become popular in China, the name is wrong, and it is easy to cause family disputes.
The night is long, and there are other things they can do to pass the time.
After the annual leave, the company opened its doors.
Feng Xiaogang continued to shoot "The Story of the Cooking Class", and it is estimated that it will be completed in about a month.
There is good news from the Air Administration Center, the sketch of the Spring Festival Gala has been recognized by the top management of the army, and they feel that this form of performance is novel and lively, showing the new style of the army in the new era.
The troops should not only have a serious side, but also be close to the people and mingle with the common people.
This is a very good signal, if there is no accident, "The Story of the Cooking Class" will be able to be broadcast on Huaguo TV.
Once a TV series like this has passed the censorship, the Air Administration Center has used its administrative power to promote it and broadcast it on TV stations all over the country, which is extremely lucrative.
In the past, Lin Zixuan estimated that he could make a profit of about 500,000 yuan, but now it seems to be far more than expected.
At this time, the Air Administration Center made a request.
"What Air Politics means is that they want the full copyright of "The Story of the Cooking Class", and they will give us a certain amount of compensation, about 500,000. Feng Xiaogang brought back the news.
This was expected by Lin Zixuan.
When the two sides cooperated, the contract signed was half of the copyright, and Lin Zixuan had to compensate the Air Administration Center 500,000 yuan if it could not be broadcast.
Because no one knew the fate of this TV series at that time, many people in the Air Politics Center were not optimistic.
Now that the situation is clear, "The Story of the Cooking Class" will obviously become a money-making TV series, and the cast and production team are all empty politicians, and once the show becomes popular, they will make their own sequels.
If you can't get the other half of the copyright, the sequel filmed by the Air Administration Center will give 20% of the net profits of Good Dreams.
In other words, Good Dream can get money without doing anything.
But things can't be counted like this, doing so will fall out with the Air Affairs Center, if Lin Zixuan doesn't sell the copyright, the result is that neither of them can make a sequel, they can only stalemate, and there is no point.
"Don't care about this little bit of money, let's make a movie with the money, and leave the rest of the matter to the Air Administration Center to deal with, we must do enough favors, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Lin Zixuan decided.
"That's okay, don't offend if this kind of unit can't be offended, is that Han San's comment that Guo Li said reliable?" Feng Xiaogang asked.
"It should be reliable, let's meet him first and talk about it. Lin Zixuan pondered, "This time, "Party A and Party B" will probably find 2 million funds, Brother Feng, you have a very heavy task." ”
"I've been waiting for this day. Feng Xiaogang grinned brightly. (To be continued.) )
