Chapter 489: Intent [Asking for Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass]
PS: xiexie's lonely and concerned tip!
After chatting with Wang Zhongjun about film cooperation, Cui Zhengyuan pulled Song Ke to a quiet corner.
Seeing Cui Zhengyuan like this, Song Ke knew that the other party must have made a big move, so he waited for his words.
In fact, his guess was not bad, Cui Zhengyuan did have a magnificent big jihua looking for him. Speaking of which, this Jihua is more valued by him than the movie cooperated with Huayi Company.
After HBC was founded, preparations for its own music awards ceremony were put on the agenda.
Originally, with the opinion of the top management of the TV station, it was to imitate the appearance of the three major TV stations and make their own song awards. In other words, the three major awards in the traditional Korean song industry will be transformed into four major awards.
But obviously Cui Zhengyuan's heart and ambition are even greater, how can he be satisfied with a corner.
Historically, the C.J Group has also been committed to developing overseas markets.
MNET's awards ceremony MKMF was transformed into MAMA, and the venue was moved from South Korea to Xiangjiang, the center of Asian entertainment.
Each year's awards ceremony brings together stars from China, South Korea and Southeast Asia, becoming the most watched and largest music festival in Asia.
Now Choi Zhengyuan also plans to take advantage of the comprehensive cooperation between China and South Korea to prepare for MAMA.
And he was much more radical than in his previous life.
It is clear that MAMA is not satisfied with just being a music festival for Koreans themselves, but is gradually connecting with the pop music industry of other countries and regions.
If the trajectory remains unchanged, MAMAzuihou is likely to become a stage for pop music competition in Asian countries.
If this goal can be achieved, then MAMA will definitely be an eye-catching top-notch music event.
Several years earlier than the original history, Cui Zhengyuan had already begun to plan.
The first goal is to consult with one's own partners.
Of course, Choi Jung-won will not come up and propose MAMAjihua in vain. In that case, wait to be pinched by Song Ke.
The good thing is that there is a common bridge between the two sides that can be used for dialogue. That's Min Geng-won, vice president of SK Telecom's E&M department.
SK Telecom's intention to enter the entertainment industry is evident after acquiring IHQ, JYP, and YMB, South Korea's largest record label.
Not only that, but SK Telecom also approached A.P to buy back Melon and Loen.
After consultations, the two sides reached a cooperation agreement.
With cross-shareholding, SK Telecom received 31 percent of Melon's shares, while A.P received 35 percent of YMB's shares.
Discerning people can already see that with the booming entertainment industry in Korea, the cooperation between SK Telecom and C.J Group is deepening day by day.
SK Telecom owns Korea's largest record label and Korea's largest actor agency. Korea's largest mobile communication platform.
C.J Group owns Korea's largest cinema system, Korea's largest entertainment company, Korea's largest music online brand, and Korea's largest film production company.
Together, these two companies can be said to have monopolized 70 to 80 percent of the business volume of the Korean entertainment industry.
Even some ill-intentioned people spread wildly, and from now on, the Korean entertainment industry will be surnamed Choi.
In the future, no matter who wants to make a difference in the entertainment industry, they must obtain the admission of the two companies.
Otherwise, record distribution will be suppressed, and film publishing will not be released in theaters. How else to do it?
The reason why Choi Jung-won can find Song Ke with confidence is because he has already received news from SK Telecom, and the imminent acquisition of Taihe Maitian by SK Telecom has been put on the agenda.
In this way, while the country was converted. But to put it bluntly, it is a collaboration between C.J Group and SK Telecom.
And because it is not in South Korea, it is more secretive, and it will not give the outside world a monopoly aggressiveness.
Choi Jung-won didn't plan to tell everything and everything, and the real Jihua had to wait for SK Telecom to acquire Taihe Wheat Field before it was the best opportunity to expand.
Now. For the convenience of cooperation in the future, the foundation can be laid slowly. So he sent out an invitation: "Mr. Song, this year's HBC Song Awards." I wonder if I can invite Miss Jolin Tsai and Mr. Sha Baoliang to play in friendship? ”
Song Ke was stunned, but he didn't expect Cui Zhengyuan to issue such an invitation for no reason.
What is the purpose of inviting Chinese singers to the year-end music awards ceremony of a Korean TV station?
But this is a good thing, not only the Korean entertainment industry is eager to go out, but also Chinese counterparts.
Especially in the Korean music circle, which is in the leading position in Asia at this stage, being able to show its strength here is also something that Song Ke has always longed for.
Sha Baoliang is very simple, he is a signed singer of Taihe Wheat Field, and he only needs an order.
But Jolin Tsai is a little more troublesome, although Song Ke is also the CEO of Warner Records, but he belongs to Warner Greater China.
Fortunately, it is a system, and Song Ke estimated that as long as the text message was sent over, there was no reason for the other side to disagree. So he said very happily: "Thanks to Executive Director Cui for seeing it, rest assured, these two people will definitely arrive at that time." ”
"That's Xiexie Mr. Song's mind." Cui Zhengyuan first thanked him, and then changed the topic and said the purpose of the trip. "I don't know if Mr. Song is interested in organizing a music festival? It's our own Asian music festival. Let pop singers from China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia come together to compete for the crown. ”
Song Ke gasped, and then looked at Cui Zhengyuan like a madman.
Until half a day later, the person in front of him looked as calm as ever. He realized that people were not joking, but they did think this way.
No wonder he was able to become the largest entertainment company in Asia at a young age, not to mention his ability or anything, this vision alone shocked Song Ke.
To be honest, he never had the idea of hosting an Asian-level music festival.
The Chinese mainland market is a veritable small character in Asian pop culture circles.
With a late start, slow development, and many restrictions, it is not easy to survive, and it is not easy to lead the international trend.
But on the other hand, Cui Zhengyuan's proposal is really wonderful.
Although compared with Chinese mainland, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan have developed entertainment industries. But when it comes to the international community, it is nothing.
Except for Japan, which is known as the second largest entertainment production area of Shijie, the others are not worth mentioning.
And this is especially true in an era when European integration is becoming more and more obvious. Japan's status as the second largest entertainment region has long been undeserved.
In this way, it may be feasible to use A.P as a hub to bring together a series of top Asian companies such as Sony Records, Warner Records, Taihe Wheat Field Records, Emperor Records, Huayi Brothers Records, SK Telecom, etc.
"Does Executive Cui have a specific plan?" Like Wang Zhongjun, Song Ke is also a character who does not see rabbits and eagles.
If Cui Zhengyuan doesn't come up with something substantial, he won't nod.
In business, how can there be a reason to allow people easily. There is no big mistake in being cautious and cautious, so as to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
In addition, the record industry in the mainland is extremely unstandardized, and piracy is rampant. If you have a music festival. In terms of record sales and music source statistics, the mainland will definitely suffer a big loss.
Song Ke had to be more rigorous, so as not to make a wedding dress for others.
"The specific plan is still being studied by our group, but we can lay the groundwork in advance. For example, sending people to each other to learn, exchange performances, etc., so that after the trend is formed, I believe it can also affect the upper level. Mr. Song also knows that such cross-border cooperation is easily affected by the general environment. Cui Zhengyuan suggested.
Speaking of which. He was also full of worries.
In two years, Li Ming-B will come to power, but unfortunately this great leader is a staunch pro-American faction.
During his tenure, relations between China and South Korea fell to a freezing point. It has greatly affected the exchange of entertainment and culture between the two sides.
S.M's mainland jihua almost died, and many planning projects were put into flow because of this.
If it weren't for the fact that C.J Group is a staunch pro-China faction and has long insisted on investing and exchanges in China, I am afraid it would also be affected.
Even so. The information obtained by Cui Zhengyuan in his previous life also shows that the original CJCGV's construction of 500 CGV theaters in China has only completed half of the expectations.
It was not until Park Geun-H came to power that relations between China and South Korea began to warm.
Up to five years. Enough to influence a lot of important decisions.
This also forced Choi Jung-won to slow down and always observe current events to make decisions.
Hallyu fans in the mainland have always complained that their idols are always circling around, but they don't come to the mainland.
Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and other places are all frequented places, so is it so difficult for Weishenme to come to the mainland once?
In fact, they have not noticed the impact of the change in the political situation on Korean entertainment companies, and decision-makers like Choi Jung-won have a lot of concerns.
For example, after Park Geun-H came to power and visited China, all kinds of Korean artists flocked to China to carry out propaganda, which is a good sign of change.
"If nothing else, HBC will move the awards ceremony to Hong Kong around 2006. It may be more convenient for Chinese singers to participate, and when the bilateral cooperation matures, it should be a matter of course to hold a truly Asian-level awards ceremony. Choi Jeong-won revealed Jihua a bit so that the ally could prepare.
Song Ke gave a thumbs up and praised: "Moving to Xiangjiang is a very wise choice. It is an important place in all directions, and the connection with all parties is very close. I have to say that Executive Cui's vision is really amazing. ”
This is not a deliberate compliment, but a clever move.
After the return of Xiangjiang, the connection with the mainland has become increasingly close. The economic, political and cultural interactions between the two sides have slowly become an inseparable whole.
HBC's award ceremony in Hong Kong means that it has found a gateway to the Chinese market.
Moreover, the special social system of Xiangjiang also has frequent contacts with Southeast Asia, Japan, and Wanwan.
It can be said that once settled in Hong Kong, HBC TV is equivalent to revitalizing the whole game of chess.
Seeing Song Ke's expression, Cui Zhengyuan knew that something big could be expected. Raised his glass and said with a smile: "Then when Mr. Song has time, please go to Xiangjiang and his party." When the time comes, I will invite Mr. Yang Shoucheng of Emperor Corporation and Masaya Tachimi of Sony Corporation to have a small gathering? (To be continued......)
