Chapter 206 Cooperation

Cheng Yuan is not a saint. When Kim Young-min said that Lin Yoon-ah and Kim Taeyeon admired him very much and wanted to learn more about acting from him, he admitted that he felt itchy in his heart.

I had long heard about the chaos in the Korean entertainment industry, but I never thought I would have the chance to try it.

However, as an SM boss, Kim Young-min would not be so stupid as to leave Lim Yoona and Kim Taeyeon on the spot.

After all, there were outsiders present, Cheng Yuan's assistant was there, Song Qian was there, and the translators from both sides were also there.

Sai girls also pay attention to methods. Simply pushing someone into your arms is the stupidest way.

Before leaving, Jin Yingmin also left his personal number, saying that Director Cheng could contact him if he needed anything. As soon as he left, Cheng Yuan asked the person in charge of international affairs at the company: "SM still has a film company?"

"Yes, it's called SM Pictures. Last year they made their first movie, "Flower Boy Chain of Terror", which featured their company's idol stars. Don't listen to what they say. It got a good response. There were only 110,000 moviegoers in South Korea."

"In the Korean entertainment industry, idols are at the bottom of the contempt chain. SM wants to get a piece of the pie in the film and television industry, but no one in Korea is willing to take them to play, so they came to us. We have them in "Ink Attack" before.

invest."

In fact, not only in South Korea, but also in the entertainment circles around the world, idols are not well-liked. The same goes for our country. Regardless of how much money they make, fans scream wherever they go, but there is implicit contempt within the industry.

SM is a sheep that is presented to you. If there are any projects that are too risky and difficult to grasp in the future, you can consider asking him to be slaughtered.

But now, what Cheng Yuan wants most is to go to bed quickly.

Cheng Yuan is sleeping peacefully here, and the news that SM Jin Yingmin visited Cheng Yuan has reached the ears of CJ and KBS executives.

The two families don't say anything on the surface, but secretly they have begun to think about how to take revenge on SM. In their view, Cheng Yu'an was invited by them and has been cooperating with them. Cheng Yu'an's schedule has nothing to do with SM. You are now

What's going on with bringing three girls here?

Cheng Yu'an couldn't figure out why Koreans also ate rice in the morning, with meat, soup and kimchi as side dishes. Six or seven bowls were placed in front of him. It was quite grand. Xiao Zhang, who sat opposite him and ate with him, also had the same size.

In Cheng Yu'an's eyes, a simple breakfast of soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, rice porridge, etc. would be fine.

It's more Western style, you can have some bread and some milk.

But when it comes to locals, do as the Romans do, after all, it is local food that is warmly welcomed by the people.

The taste...it's okay. It's a fresh taste. Cheng Yu'an will definitely not be able to stand it if he eats it for a long time.

After dinner, Kim Jing Ah and KBS’s Seo Min Young came over together.

According to Cheng Yu'an's schedule, he will stay in South Korea for 3-5 days. First, he will check the progress of the special effects of "The Martian" at the digital creative company; second, he will lead colleagues from the company's international affairs department to discuss future cooperation with the two companies.

The remote people were divided into two groups. Cheng Yuan took the special effects staff to Digital Creation first, while colleagues from the International Affairs Department stayed in the hotel conference room to discuss cooperation with CJ and KBS.

Cheng Yuan came back to listen to the results report.

The Digital Creative Company was founded in 1998 and claims to have the largest equipment and technical strength in Asia. The famous "Train to Busan" is the special effects they produced.

Some of the visual effects shots for "The Martian" were produced in Digital Creative. Cheng Yu'an communicated through a translator and took a look at the current effects. The progress was good.

I also held a small technical communication meeting in their company to further clarify the effect I wanted, and it came out.

In the next two days, Cheng Yu'an has been meeting with people from KBS and CJ.

The distribution and broadcasting of long-distance movies and TV series in South Korea have always been handled by two companies. CJ wanted to use US$5 million to pre-buy the distribution rights of Cheng Yuan's next film in South Korea, but Cheng Yuan did not agree.

It’s not that the price is low, Chinese movies are not easy to sell in South Korea, and US$5 million is a good price, but it’s not in line with his rules.

If you don’t know where the next drama will be, just charge money. This is not a question of whether Cheng Yu’an will kill the other person.

"I have a script here. If you are willing to film it, you can try it." Filming this drama is also one of the purposes of Cheng Yu'an coming to South Korea. "Currently there are only 30 episodes of the script. If you want to film it, you can expand it to 130 or even 150 episodes."

What did Cheng Yuan take out?

It's obviously "The Temptation of Wife".

It's a long and stinky family emotional drama that has exploded in ratings.

Why do it in Korea first?

Nonsense, this drama became popular in South Korea. After getting it here, it will make a profit first. Cheng Yu'an has already planned that it will become popular in South Korea first, and then market it and make a Chinese version.

Xu Minying read the script and thought it was very good. She just said: "KBS's daily drama is very famous. We can make it. Thank you Director Cheng for your support."

If you can shoot, there will be more to talk about later. "The Temptation of Wife" is Cheng Yuan's first project in the Korean market. Xu Minying wants to use "the youngest best director in Venice in history to defeat Kim Ki-duk".

Names give TV series marketing.

Cheng Yuan refused.

Just want face.

After all, he is the best director in Venice. I feel a little embarrassed to write such a play.

But Cheng Yu'an agreed to use the producer's name, and the screenwriter's name was that of a screenwriting assistant in the company.

KBS and CJ did not give in on the copyright and demanded a 100% buyout. They gave Cheng Yu'an enough respect for the fee. According to the Hollywood screenwriter's price, an episode is US$30,000, and the number of episodes is 75. A total of US$2.25 million plus screenwriting fees.

With a nominal production fee of US$750,000, he scraped together US$3 million to win "The Temptation of Wife".

Cheng Yuan had no objection to the price, after all, he was from a wealthy family.

He doesn’t even have to do production or broadcasting. He can earn US$3 million after writing 30 episodes of scripts. That’s it!

Converted into RMB, 3 million US dollars is only about 20 million. Cheng Yuan knew that he would definitely lose money by selling "The Temptation of Wife" at this price, but he wisely only sold the Korean copyright, and the copyright in other regions was still in his hands.

As for CJ Entertainment, they want to invite Cheng Yu'an to make a movie. They want to make a sequel to "The Old Man".

CJ remade "Old Man" and the results were very good!

However, Cheng Yu'an's hands on the adaptation rights of "The Old Man" still have a few years to expire, and CJ wants to buy the copyright from Cheng Yu'an's hands and make it himself.

But Cheng Yu'an didn't want to sell it: "In this way, I will set up a studio in South Korea. If you are willing, our two families will do it together, starting with "Lao Qian 2"."

Jin Jingya thought for a while and agreed to Cheng Yu'an's proposal. However, when CJ asked to invest in Cheng Yu'an's studio in South Korea, Cheng Yu'an could only agree.

Without hooking up with CJ, I wouldn't be able to do it in such an exclusive environment in Korea.

He didn't want to make a long-term business in the Korean market. In fact, he could predict that after making three or five movies to make money, Koreans would react.

But don't worry, Cheng Yu'an will take the initiative to withdraw from the Korean market when the time comes, without any pressure from the Koreans.
