Chapter 2741 befriend
When playing mahjong, it is naturally impossible to play mahjong quietly and silently. You must have to play while chatting.
As we chatted, Wang Han talked about Kim Yu-fan, or about Kim Yu-fan's current development.
"Xiao Jin, your new album "K" is really good this time. I have heard the songs from your new album this time, which is really great." Speaking of this, Wang Han also laughed: "I am usually a person who doesn't like listening to music, or I am not a person who likes to go online, or even buy albums. At least I am interested in buying albums. After my idol Leslie Cheung, I basically rarely buy albums. Of course, at that time, I bought cassettes."
"But because your album and the songs are really good, everyone around me agreed that you must buy two of your albums, one to listen to the other as a collection, and my wife is also your fan, so I ended up buying two of your new albums. Not to mention, it's really nice to listen to them at home. I like songs like "Beijing Beijing" and "Baikal".
"Thank you, thank you Brother Han!" Kim Yu-fan hurriedly smiled and thanked, then sharp-eyed and quick-witted: "Touch!"
"In fact, it is really difficult for singers to release albums nowadays. Nowadays, mobile phones are becoming more and more powerful. There is no doubt that more and more people will rely more on mobile phones in the future. Maybe computers will be eliminated by mobile phones at any time, just like the recorder in the past. Nowadays, singers release albums is really too difficult. It is basically a loss-making deal. Now more and more people are focusing on digital albums or digital songs. From this point of view, everyone has gradually changed from the original physical album to the digital, which itself represents the weakness of physical albums."
"Now, my new album has achieved good results. All of this is given by fans, and I am very grateful. So I am constantly reminding myself to work harder and strive to make better music, not to make money, but at least we should let the fans like and support us. The fans who buy my new album will not be disappointed. At least we should give them good songs to let them know that I am still working hard and choosing to like and support me, and I don't regret it."
"As for the future, I can only say that I can't help it. After all, this is the general trend and it is not something I can change alone. Even if Michael Jackson, the music god, is resurrected, it will not be able to change the decline of physical albums in the market."
Wang Han nodded: "Yes, physical albums are really difficult to make today, especially in our China, in the market where piracy is rampant, it is even more difficult to make."
Wang Han also seemed helpless about this. Although it was a bit embarrassing to talk to Kim Yu-fan, a foreigner, Wang Han didn't care, because after Wang Han, Kim Yu-fan was a singer and paid more attention to the market than himself. Therefore, there was no need to say anything about piracy. Kim Yu-fan would definitely know it, and he would even know it more clearly and more detailed than he knew. He might be sure that there were all kinds of accurate numbers.
"Yes, the physical album is really too difficult to make." At this time, Odie couldn't help but sigh: "The last time I released a new album, I basically lost money, which completely cut off my idea of releasing the album. In the future, I will just do my own music. If you want to sing, or if you encounter a good and suitable song, you can just publish digital songs directly. As for physical albums, I don't plan to touch them."
Kim Yu-fan smiled and shook his head. The copyright of Korean music today is very powerful, but it is not that the same physical album is becoming more and more difficult to sell. Basically, only those limited popular singers dare to publish physical albums. The rest basically choose to release mini albums or singles. If they really can't do it, they will make up a regular album, but most of the time they still follow the path of mini albums.
Maybe, at a certain period of time, Korean singers will no longer continue to release physical albums, but will directly switch to digital music. Even in South Korea, a country where copyrights attach great importance to and protects music, physical albums will be eliminated, let alone in China's market for pirated and abuse.
In the past, Chinese singers had definitely made big investments in physical albums. Even every song on physical albums would shoot song MVs. Sometimes, the MV of a song was willing to spend millions of yuan. But now, it is basically impossible to find such a huge investment and price for just the song MV.
It is said that Na Young spent millions of yuan on the MV shooting of the song "Silence". I don't know whether it is true or false, but even if it is true, it can only be said to be a very small number. Today's physical albums are almost impossible to sell. Whether it is a singer or the company behind it, who will still spend more money and have nothing to do on the MV of the song.
"By the way, Xiao Jin, you also have your own branch in China, right?"
"Well, there is a family that is open in Beijing." Kim Yu-fan nodded with a smile: "The company is also very young and has great potential newcomers. If you have the opportunity to come to Brother Han's program, I hope Brother Han can take care of you."
"Hi~~~What's that matter." Wang Han waved his hand without caring: "It's the right person to take care of you. After all, I believe in your vision. At least the news I have received at this point is that you know that your vision has never disappointed. Countless facts have proved that your vision is the sharpest and most correct. I believe that the newcomers you choose must be very strong, talented, and potential, so I will not refuse."
"By the way, Xiao Jin, I heard that our station is very interested in the variety show "I Am a Singer" you planned in Korea recently and plans to purchase the copyright. If this matter is done, then we will have a cooperative relationship. At that time, your artists will definitely get the best care when they come to our Mango Channel as if they are home. My program, Mr. He's program, or a New Year's Eve party, or important programs, basically there is no problem. As long as they are suitable, they can be used."
Wang Han's words immediately made Kim Yu-fan laugh. Mango TV planned to purchase the copyright of the variety show "I Am a Singer". This is no longer the idea that just came up. In fact, this idea has appeared for more than two years, but Kim Yu-fan has always signaled the Korean "I Am a Singer" program team to refuse.
Why? It’s not just to let Kim Yu-fan come to China and talk to Mango TV in person, why do it? It’s not just to deepen the impression of Mango TV’s senior executives on themselves.
Look, you are willing to spend money and have spent two years on the copyright of the variety show that is inappropriate. I will get it done with this. Does it prove that I am very important in this matter? Moreover, the popularity and influence of "I Am a Singer" in China are there? Will you thank me at that time? Although you spent a lot of money on purchasing copyrights, the huge success and influence of the program have been made back, and you can make a lot of money by the way.
At that time, the artists under his Chinese branch wanted to come to Mango TV to perform on the show and do promotion. This face was always given.
In fact, even if Kim Yu-hwan doesn't show up, it doesn't matter, but in such things, it's always much better to show up than not show up.
After all, Kim Yu-fan attaches great importance to Mango TV, especially Mango TV's popularity and influence in Chinese entertainment. Although Blueberry TV has increased its investment and publicity in entertainment in the next few years, it has become a local satellite TV station that seems to be able to go alongside Mango TV, but its foundation and foundation are still not as good as Mango TV.
Mango TV has always been the first in China's entertainment industry. It is occasionally surpassed by Blueberry TV because of the program "Running Man". However, on average, Mango TV is still a well-deserved leader in the entertainment industry in China.
Therefore, Kim Yu-fan is willing to make friends with Mango TV now, just to facilitate himself, and artists under MC China Branch will be better promoted in China in the future.
After all, as long as there is a local satellite TV station like Mango TV, it will have a much better publicity effect than other local satellite TV stations.
For example, Sister Na’s husband, Brother Jie, from “Happy Camp”, has been on Mango TV’s program hundreds of times in a few years and is almost vomiting. It looks very hard and tiring. But it is undeniable that behind this hard work and fatigue, Brother Jie also relies on Mango TV’s strong publicity and influence to make his popularity soar and his status rise. This is an indisputable fact.
In Kim Yu-fan's view, at least in 2020, or even longer, Mango TV will definitely continue to occupy the top spot in the Chinese entertainment field. This is incomparable to CCTV, and it is not something that Blueberry TV can surpass in a short period of time.
"I know this, but I haven't asked about it carefully, but I just know that it seems that there is a disagreement in the cost." Kim Yu-fan played the card and said lightly.
How could Kim Yu-fan not know about this? In fact, Lee Hyun-jun, the chief PD of M-net's "I Am a Singer" program team, almost turned against Kim Yu-fan. The most important thing is that China is generous and is not afraid of spending money if it is rich. M-net has given a high price and price to buy the copyright fee for "I Am a Singer", but Kim Yu-fan has been suppressing her from letting go.
If Kim Yu-fan had not had the identity and status there, if Kim Yu-fan had not had the absolute right to decide whether to buy or not overseas copyrights when he signed the contract with M-net, and if Kim Yu-fan had not owned 30% of M-net's shares, he was the absolute major shareholder, otherwise Lee Hyun-jun might have kicked Kim Yu-fan away and talked about copyright issues with Mango TV.
Lee Hyun-jun didn't understand. She really wanted to pry Kim Yu-fan's head open and wanted to see what Kim Yu-fan was thinking. People were willing to give so much money, but you were not satisfied and didn't let go. What do you mean? Do you think it's too little? Do you really want to force the other party to be angry and not talk about this business and give up purchasing the copyright of "I Am a Singer"? Only then will you be satisfied?
However, Lee Hyun-jun would know that the reason why Kim Yu-fan made M-net not let go of the copyright of "I Am a Singer" was that it was necessary to make it easier for him to come forward and talk to Mango TV in person.
Because of Mango TV's influence and popularity in China, especially in the entertainment field, Mango TV believes that it is second, but no one dares to recognize that it is first.
At this time, Kim Yu-fan talked with Mango TV and finalized the copyright of "I Am a Singer". Even if Kim Yu-fan comes forward and doesn't come forward, the copyright fee is only 10 million yuan, the effect will be completely different.
Kim Yu-fan didn't show up, Mango TV just took a fancy to Kim Yu-fan's personal identity and gave him some care, that's all.
But Kim Yu-fan came forward and not only was his personal identity noticed by Mango TV, but he also came forward to help Mango TV solve the copyright issue of "I Am a Singer" that has never been solved. From this point of view, Mango TV owes Kim Yu-fan the favor. To put it more deeply, from the copyright of "I Am a Singer", even if Kim Yu-fan cooperated with Mango TV, it was a real cooperation, not as simple as a celebrity coming to Mango TV to play shows.
At that time, Kim Yu-hwan continued to appear on Mango TV's program, and there was no doubt that he would receive the best care and characteristics. Even if Kim Yu-hwan's people came to Mango TV to appear on Mango TV, there was no doubt that he would receive care for Kim Yu-hwan's reasons. The difference between the two was very big, okay?
"Yes, the copyright fee issue." Wang Han nodded, then looked at Kim Yu-fan and said, "Xiao Jin, I know that the program "I am a Singer" was planned by you. You should own the copyright of this program. Even if there is not, your relationship with M-net should be good. If possible, can you help me and make M-net nod."
"This is also the task given to me by our director. There is really no way for us to think about you as the program planner. Don't worry, as long as the copyright fee is not too exaggerated, we have no problems here. Since we are purchasing copyrights and we should give money, our Mango TV will never be stingy, as long as we don't speak loudly."
Finally, Wang Han said seriously: "Of course, if this matter is too forced, or if you are convenient for it, then forget it. I just passed it on to our station."
"It's all you're waiting for!" Kim Yu-fan was happy, but his expression seemed a little hesitant. He looked up at Wang Han, then lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, and finally nodded and said, "OK, then okay, since Brother Han, you have spoken, I'll find time to ask, ask about the specific situation, and see if it can help you. Of course, it may not work in front of me. Although the copyright is still in my hands, if M-net doesn't want to, I can't do it. After all, in the Korean entertainment industry, even if I am the number one artist in the Korean entertainment industry, I can't compete with the TV station. I can only say to help Mango TV to get the chance to nod and let go of M-net, but I don't guarantee that M-net will definitely give me this face."
As more and more local satellite TV stations in China purchase copyrights for variety shows from South Korea in recent years, the status and influence of Korean TV stations in the Korean entertainment industry are basically no secret.
Therefore, Wang Han and others also know that what Kim Yu-fan said is not an exaggeration. Even if Kim Yu-fan is the number one artist in the Korean entertainment industry and the president of the largest agency, and M-net is not the three traditional Korean TV stations, but behind M-net is a giant like CJ Group, and it is normal for Kim Yu-fan to not give Kim Yu-fan face.
However, what Wang Han and others don’t know is that Kim Yu-hwan’s relationship with TV stations or his own strength in the Korean entertainment industry is stronger than outsiders imagined, and it can even be called terrifying.
Now Kim Yu-fan only needs one phone call, and probably Lee Hyun-jun over there would have jumped up long ago. He nodded on the spot and said that he would immediately talk to Mango TV about copyright issues about "I Am a Singer". After all, if Kim Yu-fan hadn't been suppressing him, Lee Hyun-jun would have nodded and completed this transaction with Mango TV.
"Okay, no matter whether this happens or not, I will make you a friend, Xiao Jin." Wang Han also understood that Korean artists were nothing in front of the TV station, but Kim Yu-fan was still willing to help talk to M-net about this, and even risked the crisis of being "slapped in the face". This also made Wang Han have a very good impression of Kim Yu-fan and was willing to make friends with Kim Yu-fan, a generous person.
Kim Yu-fan has always had a good reputation and is so generous. Although he is a Korean, this does not prevent Wang Han from being willing to make this friend with Kim Yu-fan.
"Haha, this is my honor!" Knowing that he had gained Wang Han's friendship, Kim Yu-fan also laughed happily.
In fact, this time it was a show on Mango TV. In addition to Mango TV's influence and ability in the entertainment industry, Kim Yu-fan's main task is to establish connections and relationships with some important people at Mango TV.
There is no doubt that Wang Han is a very important person at Mango TV, and he also has the copyright of the program "I Am a Singer". It is basically a question of Kim Yu-fan nodding and opening his mouth. It is a very simple and easy thing, which can also allow Kim Yu-fan to get the gratitude and friendship of Mango TV.
This is good for Kim Yu-hwan in the future, and his own people will come to Mango TV to show or promote it. This is beneficial and harmless.
At this time, Kim Yu-fan looked at Xiaowu, who had been acting silent, and walked over with fruits. When he thought of Xiaowu's family, Kim Yu-fan couldn't help but sigh. Xiaowu's life was really bumpy and made people sympathize.
Thinking of this, Kim Yu-fan suddenly said, "Xiao Wu, is your family in China or South Korea now?"
Although Xiaowu has a small presence, Xiaowu and Oudi are different from being cheated by his father. Xiaowu really has no choice but to be tricked by fate. Since he met, Xiaowu is also really honest. Kim Yu-fan thought about it and planned to help. If he could help, Kim Yu-fan wouldn't mind helping Xiaowu. Anyway, Kim Yu-fan has the ability.
Chapter completed!
