Chapter 551: The second prologue to the suppression of the Korean film and television industry

After eating a mixed meal, President Kim immediately went to his uncle and recounted what he had heard from Sun Ziming, "Uncle, this is how it all happened. ”

Xuan Zhongsheng was not as depressed as his nephew, on the contrary, he was very excited about Sun Ziming's construction, and he wanted to cut off a channel between the north and the outside world, but he didn't expect the other party to give the Republic of Korea such a big gift package. Natural gas! As long as their pipelines are built, we don't need expensive LNG carriers and we have access to cheap energy, and freight is much cheaper.

As for other areas of cooperation, those are the policy direction of the country, and the Chinese market is so large, and the Republic of Korea must enter that emerging and rapidly developing market if it wants to be more developed and prosperous. In the long run, the Chinese market is even more important than the American market, because China has a population of 1.3 billion, and if there is not enough population, how can there be enough consumption? Moreover, South Korea is so close to China that it also has the advantage of civilian technology. As long as the people do not elect a madman as president, cooperation with China is one of the basic national policies of the Republic of Korea.

Seeing that his uncle was ignoring the film and television industry, Jin Zhenan hurriedly reminded: "Uncle, Mr. Sun is conditional, and the film and television industry must be opened to the Chinese." If we open up to them, how can we maintain the independence of our culture? Hong Kong's film and television companies are too powerful, and if we completely liberalize the TV and film markets, I am afraid that within three years, we will become their vassals. ”

Kim Zhenan's concern attracted a reprimand from his uncle, "Zhenan, you are studying at New York University in vain." This is an era of openness and integration, and the culture of the Republic of Korea has been learned from the culture of the Central Plains, so when did it become independent? Since the abolition of Chinese characters in 48 and the complete change to Korean, my father has been opposed to that wrong decision. China's thousands of years of civilization are the mother civilizations of the Republic of Korea and Japan. After we spread and merged, we became a sub-civilization in East Asia, and the sub-civilization of the child body will inevitably resemble the mother body, but the cultural 'abolition' behavior has made us gradually lose the soul of the mother civilization! ”

Xuan Zhongsheng, who was born as a scholar, took a sip of tea and continued to teach: "Today's children can't even read our own historical documents, isn't this cutting off our own heritage? You just want to become their vassals, have you ever thought about when we will be truly independent? Don't forget that even the command of our army belongs to the Americans! ”

Nationalism is useful in rallying people's hearts, but it cannot be used in national diplomacy, let alone influence national policy.

Kim Zhe-nam made his uncle's training gloomy, the film and television industry is not open to light and shadow, not to mention that there are no benefits to Russia, even the country's film and television industry has developed, and when they want to enter the Chinese market in the future, they will also refuse with the same excuse.

The state has decided to take the cultural industry as the pillar industry of the national economy, but it will face the problem of cost and market immediately after development. Hollywood can afford tens of millions of dollars because their market is large enough. Hong Kong's top stars Zhou Yunfa and Cheng Long can get a salary equivalent to more than 200 million won because they have overseas markets and can freely enter the mainland market. And what about the Republic of Korea? There are only 50 million people, and there are only a few million Koreans overseas, and they can't even afford a salary of 300 million won.

At present, although the entertainment industry in Chinese mainland has not yet been fully opened, it has given Hong Kong and Taiwanese the first hand, after all, they are truly the same culture. If the film and television industry of the Republic of Korea cannot enter China, it may only entertain itself behind closed doors in the future, and gradually move towards vicious competition with its own people.

But is it really open to them?

After Hyun Jong Seung's training was finished, Kim Cheol-nam reminded: "Uncle, it is impossible for the Blue House to agree to open up the film and television industry to the Chinese. This is not only a problem in the film and television industry, but also involves economic and political issues. ”

Yes, the development of the film and television entertainment industry is also an established national policy, and it is supported by large consortia. If the consortium does not have the right to speak in the media, how can it exert influence on the Blue House? How can we encourage the unity of the people and use domestic products as much as possible?

At present, Korean products cannot compete with Japan, Europe and the United States in the international market, and a large part of the profits come from the domestic market. If the film and television industry collapses, what will be used to stir up national sentiment and encourage the exclusion of foreign products? A very simple example, Samsung Electronics' products are not as good as Sony, but they can rely on film and television dramas to create a false appearance, our products are on par with the Japanese, why buy the Japanese?

South Korea is a small country, if there is no strict protection of the domestic market, the efforts to open up the external market, the national industry can not develop at all, where is the miracle of the Han River?

This is a question of conflict between long-term interests and short-term interests, how to reconcile the contradictions? The two nephews sat speechless for a while.

……

After the entertainment, Sun Ziming also returned to the hotel and discussed with Uncle Zeng how to get the office out of the predicament.

At the wine table, Kim Chol-nam also euphemistically expressed that it is impossible for South Korea to fully open the film and television industry to light and shadow. Among them, Kim Zhe-nam also used the alcohol to explain to Sun Ziming very clearly, which gave him a headache.

South Korea's policy is too fucked, and its own economy is export-oriented, but it has built a solid barrier to foreign capital. The office has been in existence for two years, and apart from funding a few independent directors to make two or three films that are not blockbusters, it has been largely lackluster.

As the director of the office, it is not easy for Park Han to use his family connections to distribute films from Hong Kong and American companies to South Korea, and to achieve a good box office. After all, this kid is not studying film and television, but studying law, and he used to deal with actor film contracts in the artist agency department of American companies.

Li Chengkai made a cup of strong tea for his half-drunk grandson Ming, and signaled Pu Han to hurry up, his sober state cannot last, and as soon as the wine strength comes up, he will definitely not be able to talk about anything.

"Boss, do you think this will work?"

Park Han, on the other hand, is a yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana man with a background in law, and his solution is to bypass South Korea's law restricting foreign investment in the entertainment industry, assign the Seoul office of Light and Shadow to ESPN, and let George exercise nominal jurisdiction.

Aren't Koreans xenophobic? It's not like your own protectorate should be shut out, right?

"Boss, in order to avoid international legal disputes, the South Korean government introduced the "Film and Television Entertainment Industry Support Act", which is legislated in the name of the Seoul Assembly. According to the U.S.-Korea Security Treaty, we and South Korea have a relationship of protection and protection, and while the United States opens its market to them, they must also open it to us unconditionally. ”

Sun Tzu was happy for a while, threw a cigarette to this kid like in the United States, and scolded with a smile: "Lao Pu, talent! Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

Although he is a banana man who grew up drinking milk, Park Han is still influenced by his family, stretches out his hand to catch the cigarette, and habitually remains respectful: "Boss, I have always wanted to transfer back to my homeland, you are now going to develop the film and television industry in South Korea, I am afraid it is impossible for me to go back, I can only dance according to your baton." ”

Yes, although he looks like a Korean, he is as straightforward as an American in his bones, and he can say what he thinks directly.

"Uncle Zeng, what do you mean?"

Of course, it is good to be able to bypass legal issues, Uncle Zeng smiled: "I have set up Director Park and Deputy General Manager of ESPN to be in charge of various matters of ESPN Korea, so it is justified." ”

Park Han saw Sun Ziming nodding his head, and thanked him excitedly, ESPN is much better than the Korean office, and the salary alone has doubled.

A burst of alcohol came up, Sun Ziming's mind was a little dizzy, and while he was still awake, he hurriedly said: "Uncle Zeng, you discuss what to do, I have to sleep." Lao Park, the invitation from the university will be waived, arrange a translator for me, and take a good look at Seoul. ”

"Yes"
