Chapter 191: A Letter from Boa
Monday, November 23rd, morning.
Jade Emperor Entertainment Television Production Co., Ltd. and South Korea's KBS TV successfully reached a strategic cooperation agreement on "Two Days and One Night". Chen Lin and the president of KBS TV signed the cooperation document.
KBS TV purchased the copyright of the first and second seasons of "Two Days and One Night" for 2 million yuan, and the copyright fee of 2 million yuan is just a small head, and the real big head is that the two sides jointly invested 1.7 billion won, with a total of 10 million yuan around "Two Days and One Night" to jointly build a whole industry chain integrating tourism, food culture, and star entertainment.
Different from the previous programs that take the way of paying for one episode of the program for the star host, it is a long-term joint investment with the star host and the local scenic spot unit to jointly build an industrial chain integrating tourism, catering and entertainment.
In China, the "Two Days and One Night" column group has begun to operate in this way, respectively, and Hunan * South Provincial Tourism Bureau, Dongting Lake Scenic Area, Zhangjiajie Scenic Area reached a strategic partnership, and the two sides have carried out a series of cooperation outside the program, such as the brother tour group specially for the Hunan * South Tourism Bureau to shoot a National Day promotional video, this brother publicity project alone has produced good benefits for both sides.
According to a survey conducted by the Hunan Tourism Bureau, the number of people who came to Hunan on National Day increased by 10% because of watching the promotional video of the brother tour group. Brother tour groups also made a lot of profits, in addition to the improvement of their personal brand image, the promotional video itself received 5 million economic benefits.
Filming a promotional video is just a case of cooperation between the two sides, when so far, in just two or three months, the output value of the "Two Days and One Night" column group has reached 100 million yuan through in-depth cooperation with celebrities and local tourism units.
It can be said that now this variety show has surpassed "Happy Camp" and become the most profitable program of Jade Emperor Entertainment Group.
In addition to jointly injecting funds into the industrial chain with KBS TV, Jade Emperor Entertainment also has a supplementary agreement, 3 of the 6 members of the brother tour group belong to Jade Emperor Entertainment, and Jade Emperor Entertainment has the right to decide 3 artists to join the brother tour group.
Chen Lin's purpose in drafting this supplementary agreement is self-evident, which is to use the platform of variety shows to open up his artists to the Korean market.
The two sides have tentatively decided that the captain of the Korean version of the brother tour group is Jiang Hudong, and the other members need to be further negotiated.
After completing the task of promoting "Two Days and One Night", Chen Lin left the TV station and went to the airport to pick up people. He was going to pick up the personnel sent by the Hong Kong Royal Court Brokerage Company to take over the Korean branch.
There are a total of 5 people from Hong Kong, and the leader is called Li Dong. A senior agent of the former Tang Company, he himself studied in South Korea and worked in the Korean entertainment industry for a period of time, Chen Lin sent him over to take over as the deputy general manager of the Royal Court (Korea) Agency and the head of the artist department.
"Minister Li, Xiao Liu, Xiao Huang, Xiao Juan, Xiao Fang, you have worked hard." At the airport, Chen Lin cordially expressed his condolences to the five subordinates.
"Chairman, we are really flattered that you came to pick us up in person." Li Dong said with a smile. The other four hurriedly nodded in agreement. Like Minister Li, they were very happy to see the chairman come in person.
"A few of you are soldiers who have opened up territory for the company, it's nothing for me to pick you up, let's go, take you to taste Korean specialty food."
"Long live the chairman, I'm almost hungry."
Two of the five girls cheered, Chen Lin smiled slightly and led the five people to the car to a Korean restaurant.
The shop is decorated with lotus lanterns and other items, giving it the atmosphere of a temple. The owner of the restaurant was a monk who introduced the temple cuisine to the public.
The restaurant's signature dish is the mountain village set meal, which has more than 20 side dishes such as sesame porridge, tofu, kimchi, fried assortment, and mixed vegetables.
Satiated. Chen Lin led a few people back to the apartment building rented by the company, and after resting for a while, Chen Lin called Minister Li Dong to the room alone to explain some confidential matters.
Chen Lin gave him a list, and several of them on the list are future hot Korean stars, and they are Lee Jung-hyun. Choi Yeon, Lee Hyo-ri, Rain, Boa, Jun Ji-hyun. Lee Young-ae, Cha Tae-hyun.
Chen Linzhi said that of course, there are more than these Korean stars, and some very popular groups in South Korea such as BIGBANG. Super-Junior, Girls' Generation has also heard of it. However, the people in these combinations are now estimated to be some little kids, and it makes no sense to find them.
Chen Lin also wants to catch all the Korean stars, but at present, he really only knows these stars, and for Lee Young-ae and Cha Tae-hyun, the two also knew each other, and only then did they remember their future achievements.
Lee Young-ae was Jang-jin in the 2003 drama "Dae Jang Geum", and a 2001 "My Sassy Girlfriend" made Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun Asian superstars.
Li Che's current reputation is not top-notch, and the price of digging into the company is not high, and the Korean branch needs to have one or two Korean local stars as signboards to attract popularity.
"Chairman, please rest assured, I will personally grasp the things I have explained." Li Dong naturally did not dare to slack off on what the chairman explained in the room alone.
"I don't have to worry about you doing things, if you encounter any difficulties, come to me directly, it's not too early now, call the other four people to go to the company together." Chen Lin got up, patted Li Dong on the shoulder, and walked out of the room.
Soon the group drove to the company, and Park Youzhi, the general manager of the Korean company, who got the news, led 15 employees of the whole company to greet him at the door.
"Chairman, Minister Li welcomes the two leaders." Park Youzhi took the lead in applauding and then introduced the chairman and his party to the 15 employees.
Then Park Youzhi personally led Chen Lin and Minister Li Dong to visit the company's various floors and offices.
"Chairman, this is your office, do you think the decoration needs to be changed?" Park Youzhi brought Chen Lin into a large office of 200 square meters.
Chen Lin looked around the office, the decoration inside was very luxurious, even better than his office in Chang*sha.
"Yes, Mr. Park, you have a heart." Chen Lin nodded and smiled.
In fact, Chen Lin felt in his heart that it was a waste to reserve such a luxurious office for him, but this kind of psychological words can't be said, and it will be funny if you are the boss when you say it. Koreans have also inherited the Chinese tradition of talking about human feelings, and it is normal for subordinates to properly scold their superiors, and as superiors, they cannot chill the hearts of those below.
Chen Lin sat down on the sofa, beckoned Park Youzhi and Li Dong to sit down as well, and said with a smile: "Mr. Park, Minister Li." There are some tasks that need to be communicated with the two of you. ”
"Chairman, please command." Park Youzhi and Li Dong hurriedly listened carefully, and the two of them also took out their notebooks.
Chen Lin smiled when he saw the serious appearance of the two, and then announced that he had reached a strategic cooperation with KBS TV on "Two Days and One Night", and the domestic column team would soon arrange a team to come over and be specifically responsible for cooperating with KBS to create the Korean version of "Two Days and One Night", and Park Youzhi's task was to assist the column team in handling the logistics support work. And Li Dong's task is to be a good nanny for artists, and China will send artists to South Korea one after another.
In addition to the "Two Days and One Night" project, KBS TV is also interested in a remake of "Meteor Garden". Chen Lin emphasized that the Korean version of F4, South Korea's "stunning double beauty" must be a signed artist of the Korean branch, so Chen Lin plans to hold an actor talent show in major art schools in South Korea, and Li Dong is fully responsible for the talent show. The company will send its artists to help.
Park Youzhi and Li Dong listened very carefully, and wrote down some of the key points emphasized by Chen Lin. Chen Lin saw that everything that should be explained was finished, so he asked Li Dong to familiarize himself with the company's environment first, and he and Park Youzhi still had some personal matters to discuss.
"Mr. Park, I heard that the troubles in your family have not been resolved?" Chen Lin took the initiative to ask about Park Youzhi's private affairs.
Park Youzhi's trouble is that he owes a lot of debt after failing to invest in the stock market, Chen Lin can easily buy his brokerage company, and his loyalty can be easily obtained also has this reason, if it weren't for the royal court brokerage company to take over, no one would want his broken company at all. People waited for him to go bankrupt and then buy it at the price of cabbage.
"Hey, I have to continue to pay off my debts." Park Youzhi smiled bitterly.
"How much debt do you owe, and why haven't you paid it off?"
"We still owe 338 million won. Hey, I regret not being at the beginning, and now there is no point in saying this. ”
"338 million won. That's 2 million RMB. How much is the interest? ”
"Three cents a month"
"Three points of interest, isn't it 36% interest a year, and 2 million a year interest alone costs 720,000."
Loan sharks are really terrible, Chen Lin gasped.
Next, Chen Lin saw Park Youzhi's gloomy face. Suddenly laughed.
I saw him take out a check from his bag, write a check for 338 million won, and give it to Park Youzhi with an IOU.
"Chairman. What are you? Park Youzhi looked at the check and IOU in his hand in surprise. He could read the check, but he couldn't read the IOU written in Chinese.
Chen Lin patted his head and wrote an IOU to him in English again, and then Park Youzhi understood that it was the chairman who borrowed money to let him pay off the debt quickly.
"Chairman, Xie Lu Xie~" Park Youzhi stood up excitedly.
"Mr. Park, sit down and talk, and deduct a part of your salary every month to repay the money, you should pay off the debt first, otherwise you will suffer the interest." Chen Lin waved his hand to sit him down and said with a smile.
"Chairman, the Chinese say that you are not grateful, and I will definitely express my gratitude to you with hard work." Park Youzhi was a little emotional, and his face turned slightly red when he spoke.
"Okay, I understand your intentions, by the way, didn't you say that I have a lot of fan letters, show them to me."
"Believe me, I've got it in your office drawer."
Park Youzhi hurriedly got up and took a stack of letters and handed them to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin opened the first letter and saw that it was a letter written by a young fan named Bao'er.
Hehe, the little girl looks so cute, and there is a photo of the little guy in the letter, "Mr. Park, you help me read what this little guy wrote, it's rare that I still have such a cute little fan!" ”
Park Youzhi also laughed, he took the letter and read it: "Brother Lin, hello Bao'er seems to have seen you...... Kwon Bao Er, 1998.11.20"
"Hahaha, the little guy's name is Bao'er, it's really cute." Chen Lin was amused by the little guy's innocent language.
Suddenly the little guy's name caught his attention, Bo'er? Quan Bao'er?
It can't be such a coincidence, this is the same name as the Asian diva singer BoA!
Chen Lin picked up the photo of the little guy again and looked at it carefully, not to mention that the little girl in the photo is really similar to the image of the queen in his mind, and the more he looks at it, the more he looks like it. (To be continued......)
