Chapter 499: Money Is Not an Issue

"Sharon hey" Li Kaiwen himself often says, to Lin Yuna, and to Kim Taeyeon, the difference is that it is the sweet love between lovers for Lin Yuna, and for Kim Tae-yeon, it is a smile between fans and idols or relatives, and no one will take it seriously.

In Lee Kaiwen's view, Park Ji-yeon's "Sharon Hey" is like him occasionally teasing Kim Taeyeon, the only difference is that Park Ji-yeon is an idol and he is a fan.

Kevin Lee replied with a picture of laughter and laughed it off.

Park Ji-yeon was also so happy holding her mobile phone that she couldn't help but kiss it. After learning that Li Kaiwen and Quan Yuli broke up, her mind immediately came alive, and her heart and cocoa were all tied to Li Kaiwen.

Park Ji-yeon knew that if an excellent man like Li Kaiwen didn't take the initiative, he would be chased away by other girls sooner or later, so it was she who said "Shalang Hey" in the name of her idol to test Li Kaiwen's heart for herself.

The result was very satisfied, Li Kaiwen was not surprised, nor did he object, and accepted it very gently. At least in Park Ji-yeon's eyes, this is how Kevin Lee reacted to her.

"OPPA, Shalang hey." Park Ji-yeon hugged her phone and whispered.

Buying the copyright of a Korean variety show, Li Kaiwen is fully responsible for Zheng Changhuan, which does not mean that he will do nothing, especially when it comes to the RM that Li Kaiwen wants to win the most.

RM This is a very important part of Kevin Lee's plan, which can be said to be the basis for the establishment of a Sino-Korean joint venture. RM is not an ordinary variety show, but an excellent publicity platform, in one sentence it can be summed up as "whoever is on the fire", and it is no wonder that SBS does not agree to buy out at a fixed price, but asks for dividends from the show.

Mr. Jung said SBS TV had lost money for two consecutive quarters. The amount of losses amounted to tens of billions of won. Kevin Lee was not convinced. That night, he hacked into SBS's internal systems and reviewed the station's financial statements.

Facts have proved that what Zheng Changhuan said is not bad, but the amount is not as much as tens of billions, but about 20 billion.

The next day, Li Kaiwen directly threw the financial statements he read to Zheng Changhuan, asking him to win the variety show RM, and the conditions for dividends proposed by SBS TV could be met.

Jung Chang-hwan was not satisfied with Kaiwen Lee's eagerness, and in his opinion, since he got the hole card of SBS TV. They then have the absolute initiative and can slowly negotiate with SBS TV.

"Money is not an issue, it is important time." Li Kaiwen looked serious, "Executive Zheng, the sooner we get the copyright, the sooner we can start filming, and the sooner the company can enter the normal operation track." ”

Zheng Changhuan said: "We have negotiated the copyright of several variety shows, and we can give priority to the production of those variety shows without affecting the operation of the company." ”

Li Kaiwen shook his head and said: "Those variety shows can't be compared with RM at all, RM's influence not only covers Asia, but also radiates to the world." Got the copyright of RM. We can attract more advertisers and get loans more easily. Even if we spend more than we expected. can all earn back from the market. ”

Zheng Changhuan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Li Kaiwen stretched out his hand to interrupt him and said loudly: "Zheng Changhuan, you have ignored our biggest potential competitor, which is China's local TV station. We can't compare with TV stations in terms of financial strength, and now we are indeed the only company that negotiates with SBS TV, but as the negotiation time is extended, if there is a local TV station in China to intervene, even if only one TV station is our competitor, then we may pay far more bargaining chips than that. ”

Zheng Changhuan groaned slightly, and said: "What you said is reasonable, I will start a new round of negotiations as soon as possible and strive for the best conditions." ”

"Please, Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Changhuan smiled, "Chairman Li is polite, they are all contributing to the company." ”

Getting SBS's financial statements is equivalent to mastering their cards, and that's true, Jung Chang-hwan showed strong negotiation skills and reached an agreement with SBS TV in less than three days to complete the rights purchase of RM.

HS Entertainment fully accepted SBS's offer of a program share on the condition that SBS would provide full support for the recording of the first season of the Chinese version of RM, with at least 50% of the PD and VJ staff involved in the production of HS, and the first three episodes of the Korean version of RM members to cooperate with the production of the Chinese version.

SBS TV has no objection, after all, they are taking dividends, and of course they hope that the Chinese version of RM will live as well as possible.

The agreement was reached, and Lee Kaiwen flew to China the next day with Jung Chang-hwan and Cho Hyo-jin, the chief PD of South Korea's "RUNNINGMAN" program group, to start selecting members of the Chinese version of RM.

The success of the Korean version of RM was not achieved overnight, but through continuous exploration and continuous improvement, there are now RM that is popular in Asia and even the world, and the seven members with their own styles. If the Chinese version of Running Man wants to be successful, the selection of MCs and artists is the top priority.

Unlike South Korea, where there are no professional MCs, and there is no clear career division in the entertainment industry, most Chinese artists are all-round development. It is not an easy task to pick out a role similar to Liu Zaishi in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Li Kaiwen and his entourage flew to Beijing, and a group of executives from Huace Film and Television also arrived, and immediately held a meeting at the hotel to discuss the issue of MC candidates.

As the chief PD, Zhao Xiaozhen has an accurate understanding of RM, and has a thorough grasp of the positioning and image of each member of RM.

"Speaking of the main MC, I have someone to recommend." Gao Yi pondered for a moment and spoke.

"Who is it?"

"Deng Chao."

Li Kaiwen was noncommittal, waiting for Gao Yi's explanation, he was not familiar with the Korean entertainment industry, and he didn't know much about the Chinese entertainment industry.

Kevin Lee needs a reason.

Gao Yi explained the reasons why he recommended Deng Chao one by one, such as high popularity, vitality and leadership, and a lot of things like being open.

"The only thing to worry about is that Deng Chao's schedule is very busy, and he may not be able to knock on his schedule, and he is very popular, and I am afraid that the appearance fee will not be low."

Li Kaiwen waved his hand, "Money is not a problem, I just need the right person." ”

From Yoo Jae-seok to Song Ji-hyo, it is not easy to choose the right role in China according to the template of the seven members of RM, and it is not easier than finding a needle in a haystack.

The choice of the only female character is also a big problem, to be popular, but also to be willing to open up the image.

"How is Fan Bingbing?" A Great Aim executive suggested. (To be continued......)
