Chapter 116: Whose House the Flowers Fall [16th Update]
The much-anticipated You from the Star is ready to find a partner in China, and as soon as the news was released, it caused a lot of repercussions in China's entertainment industry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
To say that everything in South Korea has been popular in China in the past two years, even plastic surgery is no exception.
As a businessman, how could you let go of such a great opportunity?
However, after learning more about KPTF's conditions, most of the Chinese media and entertainment forces chose to withdraw.
There's no way, what KPTF proposes is a partner of the broadcast platform, and ordinary entertainment companies don't have that condition.
Even the TV station, after hesitating, withdrew from the competition.
There is no way, it is quite troublesome for TV stations to broadcast foreign film and television dramas. Not only must they pass the review of radio and television, but they must also dub TV dramas.
With the development of today's media, by the time the TV station can be broadcast, the audience who likes to watch it has already watched it through other channels, where can the TV station earn ratings?
Again, as the saying goes, no matter how classic a film and television drama is, as long as it is dubbed, it will be immediately blind.
Nowadays, people know how to enjoy and understand that even if they can't understand foreign languages, watching foreign film and television works is good for the original sound.
Can't understand what to say?
Wouldn't that be subtitled?
It's better than those emotionless voiceovers.
Even though so many forces have withdrawn, there are still many qualified companies.
Among them, the three companies are the most enthusiastic, iQiyi, Tengxun Video and Sohu.
They were the first companies to enter China's Internet video broadcasting platform, and now they have become bigger and stronger, completely carving up China's online viewership.
People who like to use the Internet are also the most receptive to new things.
Most of the Hallyu that is popular in China today is set off by these young people who like to catch up with fashion.
So the executives of these three companies know very well what to use to attract customers, increase click-through rates, and then ask for money from advertisers.
A few of your leading actors from the stars, Kim so-hyun is now quite famous in China, Kim Tae-hee also has a trend of becoming popular, and the rest of Yoo In-na and Park Hae-jin don't know how they became famous, anyway, they are not unknown.
Such works, after the research of three companies, found that there is already a strong audience base in China.
In a unique building in the northern Jinghai and Dian districts, a middle-aged man hurriedly pushed open the CEO's office, and he didn't even have time to knock on the door.
And in the office, there is also a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
The person who walked in did not stop for a moment, and opened his mouth when he came in.
"Mr. Gong, the situation is urgent. Now it's up to you to make the decision, whether you want it or not, you can give a word. ”
The middle-aged man sitting in the boss's chair is Gong Yu, the CEO of China's most famous video website, iQiyi.
Although he has only entered middle age, Gong Yu's career can be described as very colorful and envied by everyone.
Having worked in a number of Internet companies, he keenly discovered emerging markets, and then attracted strong investment, creating the now well-known i-Qiyi.
Many years have passed, but Gong Yu has not lost his enthusiasm for entrepreneurship, and still pays attention to the front-line work.
This time, the South Korean side came with the news that you were seeking cooperation from Xingxing, and Gong Yu immediately instructed his subordinates to form a capable team and began to analyze the prospects of cooperation.
Now, it's time for my men to report back to him.
Gong Yu was still very calm, motioned for him to sit down, and then asked, "Is the situation urgent?" ”
The subordinate replied heavily, and then talked about the situation.
"According to what we know, both Tengxun and Sohu are very interested in this project. If we delay any longer, we will be robbed. ”
Gong Yu was very calm, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Then you can't just make a decision so rashly, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable." After all, we are not very clear about the situation in South Korea, and if we make a hasty decision, we may suffer losses. ”
Although the subordinates were anxious, they also knew that the boss was right.
In business, the most taboo is impetuous.
In that case, it will not be possible to accurately judge the situation and make wrong moves, which will lead to serious losses.
"Then Mr. Gong, what is your opinion?"
Gong Yu should have had an idea a long time ago, and ordered: "In this way, we are in China, the mountains and rivers are long, and many situations are like seeing flowers in the fog. It's up to you to lead your team and leave for South Korea today. I personally contacted KPTF to get in touch with the company, and after on-site inspection and understanding, I got the first-hand information and then reported it to me. ”
His subordinates had no opinion at all, and they did not delay for a moment, and after returning home, they immediately led the team and set off for South Korea on the same day.
Knowing that China Ai Qiyi Company had sent someone over, Kim Tae-hee hurriedly contacted Park Jung-hyuk.
"How strong is this company? Can you be our partner? ”
Compared with Kim Tae-hee's worries, Park Jung-hyuk was overjoyed.
The strength of Ai Qiyi had already been seen in his previous life when he was in China. To put it mildly, it is definitely one of the top three Internet broadcast platforms in China.
Such a company took the initiative to seek cooperation, and Park Jung-hyuk seemed to have seen countless banknotes waving to him.
For this reason, he deliberately put down his work on JTBC's side and came forward to receive the team of iQIYI.
"Manager Wu, it's a pleasure to meet a friend like you. If you have anything you need to know, you can ask me. ”
After having dinner with the people who loved and wondered, Park Jung-hyuk finally got down to business.
Manager Wu really didn't expect that the representative of KPTF in front of him could speak Mandarin Chinese so fluently. Even the strong Beijing flavor in those words made him suspect that this was not Seoul, but North Beijing.
But he was so focused on his work that he didn't have time to pay attention to the details.
"Representative Park, what we want to know is, how are the preparations for this TV series progressing?"
"It's my honor to tell you that all the preparations for this drama have been completed and filming will begin soon."
Hearing this, Manager Wu was a little anxious.
"Representative Park, we are really sincere in winning the exclusive broadcast rights of this drama in China, and the price is also negotiable. But we only have one requirement, and that is that it is best to be able to synchronize with our platform. ”
Park Jung-hyuk asked, "Are you afraid that the translated version of the subtitle group will leak out on the Internet?" ”
Park Jung-hyuk knows that even though the Chinese side has strengthened copyright management later, there are still some people who have exploited loopholes in the rules, resulting in the subtitle versions of many film and television works can still be found on the Internet.
Those works are all independent subtitle groups that have completed the sinicization.,And then spread through network disks and other means.。
Although it is claimed to be unprofitable and will be deleted after 24 hours, after all, it has caused the loss of audiences and endangered the rights and interests of film and television producers and copyright acquirers.
When Manager Wu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
This ROK representative not only speaks well in Chinese, but also understands the situation in China very well.
Although it is very convenient to cooperate with someone who understands, I am afraid that it will be difficult to negotiate with such a knowledgeable person.
But in response to the questions that Park Jung-hyuk said, he still gave affirmation.
"Yes, that's it. We can pay a high price to win the broadcast rights of this work, but if we can't effectively curb the illegal spread on the Internet, our losses will not be compensated. ”
Park Jung-hyuk banged on the table and decided to seize the initiative in his hands.
"But as far as I know, your country's censorship system stipulates that all films and television works must be censored before they can be released and broadcast. And the efficiency of radio and television, I'm afraid it will delay things. ”
Yes, this is a strange person, and he even understands this.
Manager Wu suddenly found that he had no advantage at all, but he coveted you from the stars. This is equivalent to being held by the Korean side for seven inches, and he is powerless to struggle.
Thinking about the authority he had, and the expected heat, Manager Wu gritted his teeth and decided to bleed heavily.
"Representative Park, if you can agree to our conditions, then we will buy the copyright of this play at an unprecedented high price."
Speaking of which, he decided to show a more sincere attitude to impress Park Jung-hyuk.
"We also know that Representative Park is still the leader of JTBC, and we are also looking at JTBC's recent achievements. Our ideal is not only to be a video playback platform, but also to participate more in the process of the entire film and television culture, and constantly improve our industrial structure. We sincerely hope that through this cooperation, we can reach mutual trust and carry out more in-depth cooperation in more fields. ”
For Manager Wu's words, Park Jung-hyuk can still believe it.
Because he remembers that in his previous life, Ai Qiyi was not satisfied with acquiring copyrights, only being a broadcasting platform, and also invested in the production and distribution of film and television works, turning into a film and television producer.
In addition, Love Qiyi's actions in variety shows are not small.
In addition to acquiring the rights of many Korean programs, it has also introduced many programs and developed Chinese versions.
For example, JTBC had just started to make it, and I went to school, and the copyright was acquired by iQIYI. And what is rare is that the Chinese version of Me is in School, and it is the only one of all the adapted programs that is better than the Korean original.
From these aspects, it is not difficult to find that i.QIYI is definitely a partner worthy of long-term cooperation.
But the heart is heartbeat, Park Jung-hyuk's wolf-like temperament, and the immediate interests cannot be given up.
So, he began to open his mouth widely.
"Okay, it's rare for Manager Wu to be so sincere, so we KPTF can also make concessions. If you can buy it for $70,000 per episode, we can change the film-and-broadcast model to be synchronized with yours. ”
Each episode is 70,000 US dollars, which is more than 82 million won when converted into Korean won.
The people from the KPTF company who were sitting next to him couldn't help but shudder when they heard this price.
Representative, you really dare to speak. Can the other party agree to such a sky-high price?
Park Jung-hyuk was waiting for Manager Wu's answer intently, naturally he didn't know the slander of the people under his hands, otherwise he would definitely sneer. (To be continued.) )
