At 11 a.m. on January 15, 2002, the temperature in Yanjing was minus 2 degrees.

The sky was overcast, the wind was cold, and there were very few pedestrians on the streets.

However, in the Fenghua Film and Television Company of Liangmahe Building, bright lights are shining everywhere, and the employees have excitement on their faces, and the atmosphere is very good.

In the company's conference room, Li Shengyao and his assistant, as well as an employee of the export department, sat on one side, and four middle-aged men with Southeast Asian looks sat opposite him.

These four people are the small leaders from the Philippine Renmin TV station.

There are more than 60 TV stations in the Philippines, seven of which cover the whole country, and the others are local or pay TV stations.

Among these seven TV stations, one is state-run and is called Renmin TV, which has a status similar to that of CCTV in the mainland.

It is also the most watched TV station in the Philippines.

In fact, the island does not restrict other Guo Jia's TV stations, and their cable TV can watch more than 100 channels.

A set of CCTV in the mainland, several big TV stations in the bend, and TVB can be watched.

However, not many people can speak Chinese, and the locals mainly watch Renmin TV.

The island of the Philippines is poor, and there are very few self-made TV series.

Most of the time, their TV stations are buying TV dramas, and because they are too poor, even if they buy TV series, they are buying cheaper dramas.

The quality of these dramas cannot be guaranteed.

At this time, the mobile network has not yet emerged, and the people have no entertainment activities, even if the purchased TV series is very bad, they still watch it with relish.

Fenghua Film and Television Company set up a subtitle group and an export department.

The export department specializes in selling TV dramas to the outside world, and contacts are made by email.

Li Shengyao set a very low price for them, a thousand dollars per episode, and there will be a reward for selling it.

Just the day before yesterday, an employee of the export department really contacted the buyer, or Li Shengyao's very favorite Philippine Island.

Now the employee is sitting next to Li Shengyao, and there will be a reward later.

Li Shengyao personally rushed back from Shanghai to show the importance of this business and his recognition of the foreign sales department with such an attitude.

He is very excited and happy now.

The reason why he likes the island so much is not that he likes the market on the island, nor that he likes the women of the island.

Instead, he fell in love with the data workers in the Philippines.

Although the island of Philippines is poor, they have been eager to join the beautiful country decades ago, and the local university students speak very good English.

They're the perfect data women.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, the peninsula would occupy the Philippines with Korean dramas and Korean entertainment idols seven or eight years later, let their stars become the mainstream of the Philippines, and then cultivate a large number of female data workers in the Philippines.

These data show that the monthly salary of female workers is cheap, only 200 US dollars a month.

But their English is good, and they began to click on YouTube to Korean dramas and Korean dramas, as well as Korean entertainment idol videos, and brush up on the number of views.

Create a phenomenon that Korean dramas are very popular in the English-speaking circle all over the world.

Before Li Shengyao crossed, the international version of Douyin printed the latest data, the number of Chinese drama entries was 16 billion, and the number of Korean drama entries was 49 billion, and the comparison between the two was one to three.

It seems that Korean dramas are more popular than Chinese dramas.

In fact, this is an illusion, and there are four main reasons why Korean drama entries are played a lot.

The first is that they have a very large stock advantage, it can be said that they have been exported since "Blue Life and Death Love", and mainland dramas have only begun to be outside since "A Smile is Alluring", especially in the English-speaking market.

The second is that there are 50 million people on the peninsula who use the international version of Douyin, and when they upload videos, they will basically mark them in English.

The third is that Peninsula people like to rub the heat, they have to write Korean dramas in English for everything, and the video of any dog must be marked with the word Korean drama.

The fourth is the data female workers of Philippine Island and Yin Island, these two Guo Jia have a lot of English speakers, and the data of Korean dramas and Korean entertainment idols is so high, they contribute a lot of traffic.

Relatively speaking, there is almost no marketing outside the Chinese drama, and it is completely tap water that contributes traffic.

Moreover, the two major advantages of Chinese dramas, Annan and Tyrande generally do not use English to specifically mark Chinese dramas, but to mark them in their own languages.

Before he crossed, the gap between Chinese and Korean dramas was actually not that big.

Li Shengyao is not the little profit of the Philippine Island, he likes the data women in these two places more.

In the future, he will also hire people from these two places to brush data for his dramas, creating a phenomenon that is very popular all over the world.

Anyway, the price is cheap, and the income is very high, as long as it can attract curious viewers to click in, YouTube's advertising share, and rewards are enough to pay female workers in the Philippines.

And the market that has been broadened because of this, where it can really be realized and where cultural influence can be expanded, is even more valuable.

The traffic of the group of slag waves that swiped the data can be said to be low, just like the people of the Peninsula, hiring people to go to YouTube, to Facebook to brush data, and make money from foreigners is really awesome.

"Mr. Li, we are very optimistic about your company's three dramas, "Funny Family", "Love Hotel", and "Winter Love Song" can be sold to us?"

"Of course, I'd love to."

"It's just that our Philippine Island has a small population and a low standard of living, is it really a thousand cuts in one episode?"

"Yes, a thousand knives in an episode."

This price is really low, Li Shengyao is not sure if these guys still want to bargain, he is thinking about dealing with it.

"Great, Mr. Li, we are willing to buy it, and we can sign the contract now."

Li Shengyao was overjoyed and immediately called a lawyer, and also called an English master to help read the contract.

An hour later, Lee Shengyao signed a contract with Philippine Renmin TV, "Funny Family", "Winter Love Song", and "Love Hotel" were sold to each other for a thousand US dollars, a total of 198,000 US dollars.

He said happily: "If you still want to watch Chinese dramas, you can come to us at any time, we can help coordinate, it's all a thousand dollars per episode." ”

The four Filipino people were very happy, they didn't expect there to be such a cheap TV series in this world, and they excitedly said that they would contact Fenghua Film and Television Company in the future.

Two hours later, after Li Shengyao finished eating with four Filipino people, he returned to the company, called the employee who contacted the Filipino Renmin TV station, and praised him in front of everyone else: "You did a very good job, this time you sold three dramas, I will give you a reward of 30,000 yuan." ”

He went on to say to the others: "Peninsula, island, wanwan, Hong Kong, new Matai, and the oil powers. ”

"In addition to the above Guo Jia areas, you sell the drama to other places Guo Jia, the lowest price is 1,000 US dollars per episode, and a reward of 10,000 yuan for a drama."

At this time, the salary of the big guy is more than 1,000 yuan, and selling a drama is equal to half a year's salary, and the employees applauded when they heard it.

When Li Shengyao returned to the office, the assistant asked in a low voice: "Mr. Li, why are there so many rewards, just one month's salary." ”

"It's impossible to make money, but now that it's earned, it's natural to give more rewards."

Li Shengyao did not explain the importance of market cultivation, and he chuckled back.
