Chapter 578(1/2)
Banned broadcast
"President Xu, I'm blunt, if we are sure to let the two artists under you perform this series "The Heirs", it's better to set the background of the story to China.
Even if it becomes popular, it will not make us feel that Korean dramas are not as good as foreigners filmed, and thus use some bad means to affect your income.
Although I shouldn't say something to you as a Korean, I can guarantee that once this drama becomes popular or becomes popular, it will be removed from the shelves within three days." In a living room of Wavve, Lee
Junhao repeatedly advised Xu Qing.
"Will my artists be banned after the drama is banned?" Xu Qing asked lightly.
Removed from the shelves and banned broadcasts?
All you want is that you remove the shelves and ban the broadcast.
"That won't be. If you inexplicably ban the artists on your side, then Korean artists will not be able to develop abroad. Although the upper class is shameless, they also want shame." Li Junhao chuckled.
He was not under any pressure when he said bad things about South Korea in front of Xu Qing. As a manager of Wavve, the first thing he had to consider was the interests of Wavve, and then South Korea.
What is the sense of honor of the Korean nation? These are the means they use to fool and control ordinary people, and even more to divert conflicts.
Li Junhao's position has always been on the side of capitalists, and capitalists have profits but no borders.
Speaking of which, Li Junhao actually doesn't understand Xu Qing's persistence.
Xu Qing has watched the script of "The Heirs" for himself. Judging from his past experience in acquiring dramas, Li Junhao feels that if the filmed drama has a high degree of restoration of the script, it will definitely be very touching.
The dramas in the Korean market have the potential to be popular.
But since it has been confirmed to be filmed as an imported film, there is no need to put a Korean background on the show. Although this will make Korean audiences feel familiar and respectful, the risks faced are very high.
When changing the background of "The Heirs" to China, he believed that the impact would be some, but not too great. He just wanted to modify some plots that did not fit the national conditions of China.
To be honest, Li Junhao believes that Xu Qing is a high-quality partner, rich and capable of creating works.
Wavve needs suppliers like Xu Qing to provide high-quality content. Not to mention anything else, there are also many Chinese students in South Korea.
If you can continue to provide excellent Chinese imported films, the international student group can also contribute a lot of benefits to you.
What's more, there are already a group of Korean audiences who love Chinese films in Wavve. If you can generate more users through excellent dramas, that's better.
Video platforms never dislike their content, especially when there is a big brother in front and someone behind them wants to chase him. Of course, he does not want Xu Qing to suffer losses due to some strange reasons, which will affect future cooperation.
.
"Since my artist will not be banned, then follow the original plan." Xu Qing said to Li Junhao.
"Okay, you are an investor, you have the final say, I will cooperate with you with all my strength." Li Junhao saw that he couldn't persuade Xu Qing, and no longer persuaded him. He felt that Xu Qing was just the kind of person who didn't meet Nan.
People who don't look back.
It’s good to recognize the reality of the Korean market by bumping into it.
According to the cooperation plan between the two parties, "The Heirs" was funded by Xu Qing, and Wavve is responsible for the promotion of the Korean market and even Southeast Asian market.
The promotion work is of bet nature, and bets are carried out according to the viewing data of paid users in South Korea.
In simple terms, this data is the four levels of small fire, hot fire, big fire, and explosive fire.
Through these four levels of judgment, Wavve can obtain 10%-40% of the global copyright income of "The Heirs" except the Chinese market.
The income period is 5 years, and all copyright income after 5 years belongs to Xu Qing, and Wavve will no longer participate in the sharing of the shares.
This is also a plan that was made after "The Heirs" had the risk of being removed from the shelves and banned in South Korea.
If "The Heirs" are indeed removed from the shelves and banned, Wavve will focus on the Southeast Asian market. They will use the channels of selling Korean drama broadcasting rights to sell broadcasting rights to Southeast Asian countries.
Although Wavve is just a video playback platform, they are very clear about the channels in this area, not big in Korea, and the relationship between companies is very complicated. How to sell other Korean dramas, they can also sell them in the same way.
.
And this kind of channel has not been established yet.
Therefore, Xu Qing also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Wavve to see if he could quickly build his own channels. Although it would be more convenient to give it to the second-department dealer, his company could not have such channels.
This way, we won't be controlled by others.
After discussing cooperation with Li Junhao, the two chatted for a while, and then Xu Qing attended the celebration party organized by Li Junhao. It was not until 12 o'clock in the evening that Xu Qing, who was slightly drunk, was at Li Youna's.
Accompany to your hotel.
"How far is it from the hotel?" Xu Qing suddenly asked Li Youna next to him in the car.
"It's probably less than one kilometer away, and it's very close to President Xu. Do you have any discomfort?" Li Youna replied.
"It's a bit. I'm a little sick with my drinking too much. In this way, please let the driver put me down. I want to walk back and relax and just feel the street scenery of Seoul at night." Xu Qing said as he looked out the window.
"Then I'll walk with you to the hotel." Li Youna said immediately.
Then, the driver stopped on the side of the road and put the two of them off the car.
On the way, Xu Qing looked at the still bustling street and said to Li Youna: "I used to hear that Korean young people have a lot of nightlife and have very short sleep time. I thought it was a rumor, but now it seems that it is true."
"12 o'clock is the end of the day for many people, while some young people are just starting. Even if they play until four o'clock tonight, they can still get up at 7 o'clock tomorrow to attend class. If they are young, they are full of energy."
Li Youna said to the people not far away who were obviously college students.
"Where are you, do you have such good energy in your daily life?" Xu Qing continued to ask.
The sleep time of Korean young people is indeed exaggerated. It is normal to play until midnight in the morning. Even the concept of relying on coffee to sustain health and fitness in the middle of the night can become popular. This is simply a big deal for Xu Qing.
"I don't have the ability in this regard." Li Youna smiled and shook her head.
"Speaking of this, I probably learned that we have reached a cooperation with your company and we are going to shoot a drama. What do you think of this cooperation?" Xu Qing changed the topic. He just chatted, but now he is just a little bitch.
It's a serious matter.
"President Xu and President Li have decided, it must be a good cooperation." Li Youna thought for a while and said to Xu Qing.
"Yes, I think it's a good cooperation, but unfortunately President Li told me that our drama is at risk of being removed from the shelves and banned." Xu Qing said and laughed.
Looking at Xu Qing who was smiling while talking about risks, Li Youna asked in confusion: "Why is this happening?"
"Because I filmed a story with a Korean background, but the starring is two Chinese. In other words, these are two Korean dramas with foreign actors. President Lee is worried that once the drama becomes popular, it will be
Banned broadcast.”
"It's true that this is possible." Li Youna did not say anything comforting when she heard this, but nodded and directly agreed with this statement.
"Yu Na, do you have any suggestions to avoid this?"
"Unless you let the Koreans play a role, you will not be able to escape this ending. If you have any suggestions, it is to use Korean artists in all other major roles.
As more people participate, the interests will be involved in greater interests. This may make the management department feel scruples, but it should not be of much use." Li Youna followed Xu Qing's footsteps and analyzed slowly while walking.
"Do you usually watch TV?" Xu Qing did not respond to Li Youna's words, but continued to ask.
"You can see some." Li Youna thought about Xu Qing's intention while answering Xu Qing's question.
"What would you react if your favorite TV series suddenly becomes banned?"
"I'll be very angry. I might go to the Internet to provide feedback, right?" After hearing this question, I looked at Li Youna in front and glanced at Xu Qing next to me quickly, as if I realized something.
"Will Korean audiences have the same behavior as you?" Xu Qing did not notice Li Youna's little movements, but continued to look ahead and walk slowly.
"Maybe more radical than me, or maybe you can change to another drama, of course, most people should do the same thing as me." Li Youna said as she suddenly stopped and continued to say to Xu Qing, "President Xu, if
Just relying on audience feedback online cannot change the management department’s determination.”
"I know, I have never expected this before." Xu Qing also stopped and nodded.
"What do you mean?"
"It's actually OK if someone feedbacks. On the day of the ban, I have to let Korean audiences know that such a thing is enough." Xu Qing smiled.
"Forgive me for being stupid, I still don't quite understand what you mean." Li Youna frowned slightly, and there was a point where she seemed to have grabbed it, but she didn't.
"Think about it again. I think you will understand with your intelligence and talent. Okay, the hotel is here, you can go back and rest early." Xu Qing looked at Li Youna slightly and turned around and walked into the hotel.
go.
Before he could walk a few steps, he heard the sound of Li Youna moving quickly behind him.
Xu Qing did not drive Li Youna away, so she just let her follow her.
Then he followed Xu Qing's room. After closing the door, Li Youna asked Xu Qing with her eyes wide open: "What you mean is that I want me to help you get rid of the shelves and banned the broadcast on the day I really took it off the shelves and banned.
Is this telling audiences all over Korea?”
"Can you do it?" Xu Qing did not answer yes or no, but looked at the girl in front of her with considerable appreciation. She was smarter than she thought.
In fact, it is very simple to let Koreans know that a drama called "The Heirs" was removed from the shelves and banned. There are only a few people in South Korea, and everyone will know everything about the gusts of wind on the Internet.
But just knowing is not enough, and there must be subsequent behaviors. This matter must be done by Koreans.
"If you need it." Li Youna did not answer, either, or could not. She also understood at this moment that what Xu Qing wanted was not simple, but she wanted to give it a try.
"Can I believe you?" Xu Qing continued to ask.
"I... can I rely on you?" At this moment, Li Youna looked at Xu Qing very nervously.
"You already have the answer to this question in your mind, right?" Xu Qing's eyes were extremely aggressive at this moment, and at the same time handed the phone in front of Li Youna.
After saying this, the two of them looked at each other silently.
