Chapter 415: The Dispute over Cable TV Stations
"OCN changes hands, JHJEntertainment officially enters the cable channel"
"The birth of an entertainment overlord? From writer to boss, the impact of changing identities"
"What does the future look like for JHJ?"
For the news of OCN cable channel changing hands, ordinary people may just watch a lively scene after seeing it, in their opinion, it is nothing more than the owner of the TV channel has changed, but in the eyes of insiders or people with a heart, it is far from being so simple behind all this.
Count the fields that JHJEntertainment has stepped into, from TV dramas to movies in front of and behind the scenes, it is said that the distribution business is still carried out, and then its artist agency has signed a lot of new actors, and the owner behind a model agency that was exposed some time ago is said to be JHJ, and then there are JHJ cinemas composed of three JHJ theaters that have opened in front of the scene, and there are as many as 30 theaters that have attracted to join, plus the recently acquired OCN cable channel, It can be said that JHJ has been at the forefront of many entertainment companies in Seoul.
Other film production companies, entertainment companies, and they also find it strange that JHJEntertainment is like a strange army, and before many people can react, they have already killed themselves at the forefront of this entertainment cake distribution battlefield, and they also occupy an excellent position.
In South Korea, there are generally only a few entertainment companies, and CJ Entertainment must mention that CJ Entertainment, as an aircraft carrier company in the entertainment industry, is very good at artist management whether it is TV dramas, movies, or variety shows.
CJ Entertainment can be regarded as a comprehensive entertainment company, the music industry is divided by a series of companies such as S.M, JYP, YG, DSP, etc., and in the film industry, there are many film production and distribution companies such as Lotte Films and ShowBox Films.
The birth of JHJEntertainment is like a charging knight, initiating the clarion call of small companies to fight big bosses, launching a fearless charge, as if it really made a crack in this seemingly strong wall, and at the same time gave those small companies hope to survive.
When people first talked about JHJEntertainment, in the face of JHJ's business expansion, many insiders always shouted with a mocking look like "It's easy to get an egg" and "Today's young people really don't know how thick the sky is", and so on, and JHJEntertainment acquired OCN, followed by CJ Entertainment's own cable TV business.
At first glance, JHJEntertainment and CJ Entertainment are not so similar, but every step of JHJEntertainment's subsequent development is like repeating the path of CJ Entertainment, and it has taken a lot less grievances than CJ Entertainment at the beginning.
If this development continues, it is not impossible for JHJEntertainment to become the next CJ Entertainment, after all, it is now on the same starting line as CJ Entertainment, which is cable television.
The acquisition of OCN Cable is just the first step for Jung Hyuk-jae, and the next step is to make OCN Cable the most popular entertainment channel in South Korea, OCN still has a lot of ways to go, which is not an easy task, and it will not be successful overnight.
"Director Lee Jun-ik, please take a seat!"
After such a long time since "The King's Man", Jung Hyuk-jae sat with Lee Jun-ik again.
"President Zheng, long time no see!" Lee Jun-yi said with a smile after shaking hands with Jung Hyuk-jae.
Jung Hyuk-jae also stretched out his right hand and replied, "It's been a long time since I've seen you, and I heard that you're busy making a new movie now?" ”
After hearing Jung Hyuk-jae's words, Li Junyi nodded and said: "Isn't it almost half a year since the end of "The King's Man", and I can't be idle after resting for a while, so I came up with a book, isn't this just thinking about taking advantage of this time to take advantage of this time to shoot it!" ”
Li Junyi said with a smile, and then jokingly said, "Speaking of which, the scheduled release date of my movie is June next year, you give me a thorough understanding first, do you have any plans for JHJFilm in June next year?" ”
As a former partner of JHJFilm, Li Junyi naturally knows the quality of the movies produced by JHJFilm, and as for the quality, the audience and the market have also tested it, which is exactly in response to the sentence 'JHJ production, must be a high-quality product'!
Although one of the producers and producers of "The King's Man" is himself, but when it comes to vision, many people in the film industry are not even as good as the young man in front of him, Jung Hyuk-jae's "Golden Eye" has also had other proofs this year, "Lao Qian" and "The Troubles of Beauty" have not all aroused widespread discussion among the audience, and the success of the high-box office and high-attention movies has doomed the status of JHJFilm, and even the unreleased "Monster of the Han River" has not been broadcast first, So Lee Jun-ik doesn't want his film to crash into JHJFilm's movie next year.
Jung Hyuk-jae sat with Lee Jun-ik this time, naturally not just to chat, but more because he wanted to poach the director, although people say that sometimes talent cannot be measured by money, but in fact, it is just that the money offensive is not in place.
Lee Jun-ik is a successful director, but he is not a successful boss, if he hadn't successfully attracted the attention of the audience with "Huangshan Expedition" and pulled his company back on the edge of the cliff, it is estimated that now Lee Jun-ik would not be sitting with Jung Hyuk-jae as a director and owner of a film production company.
CineworldEntertainment Film Production Company successfully turned over with "Huangshan Expedition" and successfully counterattacked with "The King's Man", which is simply a model in the entertainment industry, but in Li Junyi's heart, he wants to get out of the company's affairs from time to time, after all, the identity of a director seems to be more suitable for him than being a boss, and it is about this issue that Jung Hyuk-jae wants to talk to him about today.
CineworldEntertainment and JHJEntertainment combined? A long time ago, Zheng Hyuk Jae's heart has been thinking about one thing, this is not an acquisition in a simple sense, it is more like a strong alliance, although JHJEntertainment is now developing very strongly, but the background is not enough, and as a veteran film production company in the film industry, CineworldEntertainment, whether it is a network or channel, is stronger than JHJEntertainment, As the owner of Cineworld Entertainment, Lee Jun-ik is a director talent that Jung Hyuk-jae has always wanted to poach.
What is the most important thing in the 21st world? Talent!
In Jung Hyuk-jae's mind, Lee Jun-ik is not a successful businessman, but his achievements as a director are incomparable to the current Jung Hyuk-jae......

"Minister Li, are you here? The trustee is already waiting for you in the office. ”
At CJ Entertainment's headquarters, the girl at the front desk saw Lee Sung-in walking in with a calm step, and immediately got up to greet her.
"Okay, I got it." Li Chengren nodded slightly, then took out a report from his handbag, held it in his hand, and led the girl at the front desk to an office, and on the sign on this door was the word 'director'.
CJ Entertainment's composition is actually quite complicated, the company's senior leaders are not very visible, and it is this director who presides over the company's related matters on weekdays, and this time he called himself over, Lee Sung-in's heart was inexplicably a little nervous, he also saw this director twice when he was promoted, and then he never saw him again.
"Director, Minister Li has arrived."
The two walked into the office, and the girl at the front desk said crisply.
"Okay, I got it." Behind the desk in front of him was a middle-aged man, who was immersed in processing the documents on the desk, only to see him wave his hand and signal the girl at the front desk to pour Li Chengren a glass of water, and then he could go out, after which he greeted Li Chengren, "Minister Li will sit down first, and wait for me to finish signing this document." ”
"Director Han, you're busy, I'm not in a hurry!" Li Chengren said immediately after hearing it, seeing that the girl at the front desk poured herself a glass of water and put it in front of her, Li Chengren also said, "Thank you!" ”
A few minutes later, the middle-aged man surnamed Han raised his head, took off his glasses, rubbed his temples that were a little swollen and painful, and then got up and came to Li Chengren, and asked, "Minister Li is in a hurry, right?" ”
"No, no!" Li Chengren hurriedly stood up and replied, it is a matter of course to be a subordinate leader.
"Sit down, there is no need to be restrained here, the last time we met was when we had a meeting, right?"
Li Chengren nodded and replied, "Yes, at that time, you talked to me in person." ”
"Yes, yes, Minister Li's results at that time were really good, and several movies have achieved good results!" Director Han remembered these things very clearly, and Li Chengren forgot some details, but he didn't expect him to remember.
After a few brief trivia, Director Han turned the topic to the formal, "How much do you know about Jung Hyuk-jae?" ”
Lee Sung-in secretly said in his heart that he really said this, "Jung Hyuk Jaexi's words, because he has had many movies in the distribution business before, so there is a lot of cooperation with him, although he is young, but he is a very forward-looking person, and he has a lot of talent in business and directing, which is also what I admire him." ”
After listening to Lee Sung-in's evaluation of Jung Hyuk-jae, the image of a young man gradually emerged in Director Han's heart, "You know the news that his company, JHJEntertainment, has acquired OCN Cable Channel, right?" ”
"Yes!" Li Chengren nodded and said, secretly saying in his heart that he really said this.
Before coming, Lee Sung-in was aware that what might happen today must have something to do with Jung Hyuk-jae, CJ Entertainment dominated the headlines of the website for two days with the TVN cable channel, and then the headlines on the front page were taken away by the news of JHJEntertainment's acquisition of OCN, which looked like a provocation by JHJEntertainment to CJ Entertainment.
As South Korea's entertainment aircraft carrier, CJ Entertainment has always been a smooth sail in the entertainment industry, and it has never been a provocateur like JHJEntertainment.
"OCN cable channel used to be positioned as a movie and TV drama channel, I don't know what their positioning is after being acquired by JHJ!" Li Chengren said.
Hearing Li Chengren's words, Director Han couldn't stop nodding, which is exactly what he has been paying attention to.
It stands to reason that he doesn't need too much attention to JHJEntertainment's moves, just like an elephant can't see like an ant, the change of ownership of cable channels is actually nothing new in the entertainment industry, and it is common for this company to join that company and withdraw, but all of this has become a little confusing because of the addition of JHJEntertainment.
It is precisely because of the addition of Jung Hyuk-jae that all this cannot be taken lightly, I wonder if many film production companies in the film industry did not take this small company seriously, but now?
Even in terms of entertainment agencies and theaters, JHJEntertainment is doing well, so CJ Entertainment can't help but be unconcerned about this, so naturally they will deal with it with great energy.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
When people in the entertainment industry were still reminiscing about JHJ's acquisition of OCN cable channel, there was another amazing news in the circle, the original director of the successful production of "Huangshan Felling" and "The King's Man" Li Junyi officially joined JHJEntertainment, and the company founded by Li Junyi, CineworldEntertainment, also officially joined the JHJ family as an affiliated film studio of JHJEntertainment. Changed its name to Cineworld Studios.
Not only that, but JHJ also announced that Lee Jun-ik's identity is now not only the director, but also the identity of the content manager of OCN Cable Channel.
'Content responsible' is a new word, in newspapers and magazines and other media, what content responsibility needs to do is to control and supervise the content of their own media's reports, and formulate the development direction of their own media, just like the positioning of the media, which all need to be formulated and controlled by the person in charge of content, in the field of cable channels, this word is quite new, but it should be similar to it.
'The future of entertainment, content is king'!
This is a core content that Jung Hyuk-jae talked about in a meeting with many subordinates of OCN cable channel, cable channel as a paid channel, with what makes users willing to spend money, with nothing is excellent program content, the program naturally includes a wide range, from TV dramas to variety shows to music entertainment programs and so on.
In addition to Lee Jun-ik, Jung Hyuk-jae also set his sights on the PD of many programs of the three TV stations, MBC, SBS, and KBS, and in TVB, the fierceness of the competition Jung Hyuk-jae is very clear, and there are some PD directors who are very thoughtful, but they can't come out for various reasons, and they are the targets of Jung Hyuk-jae.
Looking at the eight big characters on the blackboard, many producers in the audience PD were extremely shocked, these eight words seemed to open the second pulse of Ren Du in their bodies, although these eight words were simple, but they were summed up very well.
"Now let me talk about our next plan goals."
Glancing at the subordinates in the audience, Jung Hyuk Jae said: "I have negotiated an agreement with "SaturdayNightLive" in the United States, and the copyright of the program has been purchased, and your next goal is to produce "SaturdayNightLive" that meets the local requirements!" ”
