Chapter 354 Korean Market
People in the entertainment industry should avoid eating alone.
It's okay in the Mainland, remote companies have a big business and it doesn't matter if they are alone, but making movies remotely will still bring in many partners.
In foreign markets, you need to know how to share.
In Master Tang’s words: “You are the one who comes!”
So whether it's in the American market or the Korean market, Cheng Yu'an knows how to score a plate.
In Hollywood, a major film company has limited distribution capabilities and almost no global distribution capabilities, so it must rely on the six major distribution channels; in terms of production, except for some small and medium-cost movies that major studios are not interested in, any major production company will
Film companies will rope in major studios such as Universal and Fox.
The same is true in South Korea. South Korea is a very exclusive market, and it is very difficult for YC Studio to gain a foothold. Therefore, he chose to cooperate with the four major Korean film companies and television stations.
Just like now, Cheng Yu'an got the annual report from the studio.
The studio has not produced much in 10 years, three movies, one TV series, and one variety show.
Among the three movies, "Avatar" had the best performance. It was released in August and had 6.2 million moviegoers, ranking second in South Korea after "Avatar".
"Happy Family", a collaboration with Korean comedy brother Cha Tae-hyun, was just released last week, but before the studio sent a report to Cheng Yu'an, "Happy Family" had attracted 890,000 moviegoers, ranking second, and the first was Ha
Jung-woo's "Yellow Sea" is a bit disappointing.
The third movie was called "Bad Deal" and was watched by 2.72 million people.
All three films ranked among the top 15 Korean films of the year.
Not to mention the popularity of the TV series "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" and the variety show "Running Man!".
You said that you, an outsider, have achieved such results in the Korean market, but you are not a target!
Cheng Yuan is smart because he knows how to share the cake.
In order to seek longer-term development, of course he didn't want it to last longer. He might withdraw from the Korean market in three to five years or ten years.
While fully ensuring its own profits and voice, YC Studio has attracted various companies to participate in investment, and the works produced by the studio have also been well distributed to major partners.
Everyone is very happy to have achieved such good results in 10 years.
For now, CJ and Lotte will not blatantly force Cheng Yu'an to withdraw from the Korean market. After all, they still need Cheng Yu'an to go overseas to Hollywood.
If you don't let Cheng Yu'an taste the sweetness of the Korean market, why should they take you?
Therefore, if Cheng Yuan has Hollywood projects, he will consider allocating them to Korean partners, and the Korean side must ensure the safety of remote operations in South Korea.
Mutual benefit, the current situation is a win-win situation.
"It's very beautiful, it's very beautiful." Cheng Yu'an was silly and happy while reading the report.
"Look at your virtue." Liu Yifei came over wearing a facial mask.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"This is a volcanic mud mask. It's just this color. What do you know?" Liu Yifei opened the quilt and sat in, leaning on the bedside to play with her mobile phone.
"Han Geng is really popular," the young lady said.
"Ah? What did you say?" The two of them had no night scene, and Cheng Yu'an was still reading the report.
"Weibo created an annual hot word list this year, and Han is the only celebrity selected."
How popular has Han Geng become in recent years?
To be more specific, it is more popular than the top three and the returning four combined!
Not exaggerated at all.
Many people's inspiration for Korean Wave is the word "Han Geng".
"Really? Let me take a look." Cheng Yu'an leaned over to take a look. This year's hot words on Weibo include:
"Awesome, Shenma, Han Geng, onlookers, entangled, Asian Games, World Cup, iPhone, calm, floating clouds, sharp..."
Only then did Cheng Yuan regain the familiar feeling of surfing the Internet.
Weibo has developed rapidly in the past 10 years, and the total number of users has exceeded 80 million. When the conference was held this year, major portal websites and committee members and representatives opened Weibo one after another, allowing Weibo to attract millions of attentions.
The competition on Weibo has only lasted for two years. Starting from 2010, Goose Factory, Pig Farm and Fox Factory have been eliminated one after another.
Now the five Weibos are at war with each other.
But it is still the remote Weibo that is in the leading position. This is the saying that one step is faster and each step is faster.
By the way, the number of fans on Weibo has stabilized for the young lady. After the official announcement of her relationship, her Weibo followers dropped very seriously, from the highest number of 6.5 million to 5.32 million now.
Liu Yifei is no longer active on Weibo now, and has returned to the frequency that everyone is familiar with. In addition to commercial promotions, her personal life content basically depends on her mood. If she is in a good mood, she will post one every three to five days, and if she is not in a good mood, she will post one every ten or a half months.
Even send one message every twenty or thirty days.
Cheng Yu'an, on the other hand, has taken advantage of this wave of popularity, and his number of fans has been rising steadily. However, he basically does not share his personal life on Weibo. Except for movie promotions and some necessary responses, he is just a zombie account, usually his assistant is responsible for posting.
He takes care of it.
Of course, the New Year's Day show will still be a battle of wits between "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are the One 2".
However, the Hollywood blockbusters released after the New Year's Day holiday will inevitably affect these two films.
One is "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader", No. 7.
The other one is Tiantian's "Tron: Chronicles", No. 10.
The film's performance in the North American market was very strong, surpassing "Inception" at the midnight opening box office and tying with "Avatar". It earned US$43.6 million in the first three days, easily becoming the weekly champion.
Although it is a sequel nearly thirty years later, Disney still fully showed its respect for this work.
The production cost is 170 million, the publicity and distribution expenses are more than 100 million, and the total cost is more than 300 million.
Known as "the most expensive movie of the year".
Domestically, China Film and Television, Starlight, and Remote Control all worked together to give the film a fair amount of publicity.
After Tiantian returned to China, she accepted countless programs and interviews, and talked tirelessly about Disney and "Tron: Legacy".
"It's an honor to be part of a Disney movie." She said this countless times.
"There will be a movie coming out in the first half of the year." The movie she was talking about was "Warring States". It was impossible for Tiantian to watch this movie now, but "Warring States" was confirmed a long time ago and she couldn't refuse.
"The follow-up development in Hollywood depends on the company's arrangements. Currently, the domestic work is very saturated."
The outside world doesn't know about the deal between Starlight and Cheng Yu'an, and they all think that Starlight won the Disney deal for Tiantian.
The pre-heating of "Tron: Legacy" has made the outside world full of curiosity about Tiantian's family background.
Tiantian has been accompanied by this kind of speculation since her debut.
Now rumors are spreading rapidly, and the two theories that have gained the most recognition are: one is that Tiantian has relatives in the center and is the real leader of key departments; the other is that the little girl is committed to a big benefactor.
"The latest news! I guarantee that none of you have heard of it. A popular little girl who is going to be in a big production recently. Everyone is guessing about her background, but many people don't know that she has a relationship with a director who officially announced her relationship a while ago. The two families are old friends.
, the two of them had a baby together, which made the director's real girlfriend very unhappy. On the surface, she was polite to Xiaohua, but in fact, they didn't interact at all in private.
"The director doesn't take Wawa's kiss seriously, but every time he mentions Xiaohua, he has to spend a lot of energy to coax his girlfriend.
"For the big production that will be released in a few days, I went through the directing channel at the beginning, and Xiaohua Company spent a lot of money."
Once this revelation comes out, it’s over!
Chapter completed!
